Hiya!
I'm beginning my diary on Day 3 rather than Day 1 because I didn't want to be too negative about the diet int he first few days as I find it a bit of a struggle as it is.
I am losing weight because I am being a bridesmaid in October - it's bad enough being nearly 30, single and a bridesmaid but I'll also have to stand next to my size 6/8 little sister and just couldn't face it as a size 18/20 (probs more on the 20 side!!). I have about 5.5 stone to lose until I'm near an ideal weight but I'm working on 4.5 by the time of the wedding!
I did LL about 3 years ago and had huge losses on the weeks that I didn't cheat (on average 5lbs a week!) but I cheated a bit - more towards the end! I've piled the weight on since then - putting on three stone in a year and the rest has crept on over the rest of the time! I didn't do any sort of refeeding programme - my intentions are to get to a BMI of 25 and then join WW as I've had quite good losses from that earlier on this year - it's all about being prepared!
Anyway, Day 3 - hard work but feeling positive - stomach feels hideously bloated but probs down to TOTM that came on the same day as started Exante so hopefully it'll jog on and tke the water away.
I wish everyone else luck!
