    ladies doing 5-5 or similar

    Thanks will go take a look. According to the juddd website for my weight and height my up day cals need to be 2900! How the hell am I supposed to eat that :/ figure with the 5-5 approach I can have a decent evening meal and try and get the rest in the next day before 5pm. That's a crazy amount...

    ladies doing 5-5 or similar

    Hello ladies, I'm no stranger to this part of the forum and previously did juddd last year and lost and stone and half relatively quickly (I have lots to lose) I did a vlcd for a few weeks on and off after Christmas but couldn't stick to it *rolls eyes* I'm now back because it clearly works I'm...

    Hey sorry I've only just seen your post. I've gone back to juddd because it's far easier for me. I gained 4lbs coming off the packs but had lost it within 2 days so guessing it's water weight. Still a stone lost in 3 weeks, faster than any other time I've dieted. How are you both still doing on...

    I didn't cave, I went to bed and gave myself a talking to. Didn't sleep very well last night though, woke up at 2.30am and didn't nod back off until about 4.30am. Can tell ketosis has arrived because this happened last time. I did jump on the scales to see if it could motivate me and I'm into...

    Really struggling tonight and I don't know why. Keep having the argument with myself in my head to go back to intermittent fasting as I lost over a stone on it. The other side is saying stick with it for fast results. Gonna give myself a slap and have an early night I think

    Have a massive headache today, no idea where it's come from and I've had really strong hunger pangs today too. I silenced them with water, currently sat with cold hands and feet and hoping ketosis kicks in soon. Keep plodding on, going to do my measurements tomorrow and my mum said she could...

    Oh dear I'm glad you're feeling better today. If it helps I've had a couple of dizzy spells and have a headache today. Don't think I've drunk enough water though x

    Glad you're still going strong, how is your other half finding it? Yeah I find a bit of motivation helps when you're tempted. See if I can survive the upcoming weekend without falling off the wagon. I think you can have shallots which are the little ones but I have red onions to be honest (not a...

    Well done for not picking things up. I did mine online this week to avoid the temptation of the wine aisle :) determined I'm gonna stay on track! Keep at it you're doing fab x

    To give myself some motivation (mainly to not cheat at weekends) I've just ordered a gorgeous dress online for my best friends wedding day. She's not getting married until 1st august and I do have a dress already but it's at the size I am now. I DO NOT want to be the size I am now. So when it...

    At least it's going down I guess, better be a bit more next week :/ only got 1 pound to go to get in the next stone bracket so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Yeah doing your measurements is a good idea, I'm doing mine again Thursday not done them for a while. It's a good booster if the scales...

    I did weigh in and have lost a pound, slightly dissapointed but I did cheat at the weekend so only myself to blame. Still 10 pounds in 2 weeks is not to be sniffed at and better than I would have done on anything else. Also bit too much info but the loo habits slowed down so hoping it's due to...

    Noodles definitely pad it out a bit, funny texture but very filling if you need that bit extra

    It really is a novelty to not be hungry and it'll arrive for you both soon enough :) I do feel bloated a lot though compared to when I was eating "normally" I think I've read somewhere some people have had a similar effect to him. Think it's the digestive system getting used to the change. Is he...

    Just had zero noodles with spicy spaghetti. They are.... Interesting. Wasn't sure on the texture at first but sort of got used to them by the end. Don't think I'll be having them often. Also spent 30 minutes burping this afternoon, came from nowhere :/ not sure if that's normal. Anyway it's day...

    Yeah it's not allowed unfortunately, probably a good thing or I'd never lose weight :) I've found my mouth goes sort of metal tasting. My breath hasn't smelt so far though thankfully. Glad you're still going strong, sometimes a glass of wine is required after a day running around after the kids...

    I'm pleased it's gone well for you, you'll do grand at it and the best bit of advice I read on here was if you feel hungry have some water and wait 20 minutes, usually you find it passes. Yeah if you need a buddy we can spur each other on. My main thing with the wine is my boy goes to his dads...

    They are! I'm great all week and really get into the swing of it then Friday turns up like a bully at the school gates and derails me. I must say though I thought I'd go crazy and eat loads of rubbish but I didn't, in fact my stomach must have shrunk because I did spaghetti Bolognese and...

    Well my head won the past two days but I hope you're still going strong. Back at it today for the third time, if weekends didn't exist I'd be fine. I might just rename Friday and Saturday Monday and Tuesday take 2 haha

    After feeling a bit rubbish today and fighting the demons in my head I decided to give myself a bit of motivation. I tried some jeans on that I put on a few weeks ago, they wouldn't fasten then. Actually got them to zip up tonight! So I tried on some other clothes and tops that were tight and...

    I've decided to start a diary, I'm not usually very good with keeping them up to date but I shall try. Quick info: single parent to a 2 year old, always been overweight my whole life (was put on a diet in nursery, yes you read that right) anyhow I gained most of my weight when I got with the...

    Antibiotics

    I'm on antibiotics and doing 3 plus protein meal. Only on second day of them but shouldn't see it affecting it in any way

    first weigh in

    I figure it'll slow down, hoping for 3lbs a week then near enough a stone a month. I've got a LOT to lose though so will be at it a while. Going to start exercising when my ear is better, mainly toning exercises I think really want to try and avoid as much saggy skin as possible

    first weigh in

    Mine was really bitty and I couldn't get it to smooth out no matter how much I whisked it, was like drinking grit. Hope you do get used to them I'm just thankful I didn't order more. Trying chicken one today for first time

    It gets easier as the days go by, saying that I'm really hungry today for some reason :/ I am suffering with an ear infection though so have a general feeling sorry for myself attitude. I'll be sure not to let them go cold then thanks for the tip. Which did you have? I like them all except...

    first weigh in

    Aww thanks, I'm sure you will. I'll be honest I was slightly disappointed as I did a cheeky weigh the Saturday morning and it was 10lbs but I guess that's why I decided to cave in! I do have a lot to lose though so kind of expect it'll fall off a bit quicker to begin with. How are you finding it?

    first weigh in

    I have lost 9lbs! That'll do for me considering it was totm and I had a day off Saturday. Know it's bad in the first week but I got straight back on Sunday. That is something I've never ever done before, usually treat it as an excuse to just keep eating so I guess I've found some willpower from...

    quick question

    Hey ladies (and gents) just a quick question, I saw somewhere here you can have bacon if the fat is trimmed off. Just wondered why you could have that and not pork? May just be me being thick. I'm on my second attempt at this vlcd lark and last time I only lasted 3 days due to a crazy dizzy...
