Well... it's back to square one, sort of. I am weighing near what I originally weighed before, in between i've had a stab at exante and atkins, both of which I do not get on with, I like that I can eat veg and fruit and to feel full on things I like. I am up to 357lbs, my body shape is a bit...

Just over 2st in 3 weeks, not bad going :).

More of a drastic change in diet for me, i think!

Not hungry again, think I'm back in Ketosis - managed to lose 6.2lbs despite the setback, fingers crossed for this week.

Sun 16th Not so easy today, struggling a bit and after a weekend of working... feeling pretty knackered, not yet in ketosis - hopefully it'll catch up soon so i don't get these pangs. I like the idea of hot ribena! I didn't think any dilute/concentrates were allowed, then again, i guess...

Fri 15th Feb Sneaky weigh, pretty much back to the stage I was before the problems - so some loss this week is likely :wow: Had my first meal as I've been solely on shakes, the spaghetti is absolutely fantastic!

Fri 14th Feb Back on track, weighed myself and still lost since last week but not a huge amount - hopefully can lose some more before Monday and hit ketosis soon (again). No more cock ups!

Didn't forget today! Will be doing exactly that, awaiting our latest order but the weather has delayed it (now by 4 days).

Oh dear... very much off the wagon. Best advice I can give ever is to remember to eat regularly, I had to eat something I was so light headed - I forgot my darn shake powder for breakfast and lunch at work. Day 1 again tomorrow... let's hope i can recover this week!

You'll be fine. First 5 days can be a bit of a git, past that you've made it as you no longer have the beastly cravings or pangs. Don't give up when it hurts, just sip some water and think of a week in the future when it's alot easier. I'm on day 9 and it's really starting to shift, I feel...

Weds 12th Feb Today was very difficult. I had very little sleep, it was freezing cold and more wet and nasty travel conditions. By 4pm I thought I was going to collapse, managed to get home and had some more water and a coke zero, this got me back to normality. Fingers crossed tomorrow isn't a...

Saved me today, freezing cold and this was life saver!

Day 5... and it was a total struggle up to that point!

Tues 11th Feb No wobbles today and able to 'go' normally, all in all a good day!

Mon 10th Feb: Today has been pretty easy, slightly wobbly after 2 coffees by lunch but just sipping water and my shake got me through. Good loss is spurring me on, over a stone in week 1 - very happy!

Tested on ketostick - all was OK. :D

EOW1 loss: 8kg

I know this isn't strictly allowed... but i've had some bouillon today, i had two servings (2 teaspoons)... is this likely to knock me out of ketosis?

Sun 9th Feb: Went shopping somewhere where they have an on-site cafe... the smell of bacon and sausages almost caving me in, managed to get thru' it... Coke Zero saved the day! Looking forward to my next shake very soon, really loving the exante water powder stuff - really takes the edge off...

I managed to be good all day, very pleased - that would normally be an excuse for chocolate or something bad!

Super loss, well done!

Nice one, keep it up :D

Hey, thanks for the responses. Definitely think based on this atkins might be in order then transitioning onto the red plan for SW (and some more normality).

Day 6: Sat 8th February Terrible start to the day for weather and travel reasons, ended up with me pushing the car out of a lake on the road... all before my shake! My ketostix have arrived but no desire to do it, I know this is working. Also my flavoured coffee and exante water flavouring...

Day 5: Fri 7th Feb Today started with the same 'sicky' feeling as yesterday ended with. Lunch time things picked up, I felt a lot better and at present I feel pretty good. More water, shake in a bit and some dr pepper zero later - #yolo :D Confident tomorrow will be even better.

Pretty killer but I've seen others results on this and other VLCDs, determined to do it. The water thing is hard. Good luck!

Hey Kereday, I know that feeling with the hunger pangs... on day 4 and it's giving me a beatdown, here's to a better day 3 for you and a better day 5 for me!

I'm on exante, I've been at around 4l a day for the 4 days i've been on it - not sure if i'm bordering on too much or not!

Really impressive, well done - hope I can replicate your success!

Thanks :) I feel better now! I think maybe the exercise coupled with this massive drop in calories as I am fairly 'meaty', not just fat - although plenty of that too. Might have been a bit too much. I want to see ketosis to believe it's happening, sounds pretty sad... but I'm getting worried...

Hello, I am about to enter day 5 of exante, it appears to be working but eventually I'd like to come off on to normality again. Is it possible to slowly move from exante TS to a low carb diet, my planning would be to do 2 shakes and a low carb meal and go to 1 shake then become low carb. Is...

:sigh: Ketotix are knackered... they aren't pink on the re-agent strip but black... that might be why I had no reading for ketosis, some on the way tomorrow. :sigh:

Day 4: Thurs 6th Feb Wow. Today has been very, very, very difficult. I have been so hungry all day after waking up massively dehydrated (I drank probably 4l yesterday), to the point where I feel sick - I think I may have to lay off the bicycle until I'm into the swing of things a bit more...

Day 3: Weds 5th Feb The morning was pretty horrendous, I didn't feel at all well - even a bit flu like. By lunch time I felt alot better - strange buzzy feeling but do still feel hungry, looking forward to last shake in 20 mins and some more water. Even managed 20 mins low intensity cycling...

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I will be sticking to it like glue. Feeling OK now, not sure if it's the calm before the storm!

So, starting at after a wonderful break away and a super Christmas.. it's time to get back on track... Day 1: Mon 3rd Feb This was absolutely horrendous, I am not even kidding - it was face meltingly difficult. I managed to survive the day, I'm not sure how when I've probably dropped 3000...

So, today is weigh-day: 163.3kg starting.... 155.0kg end of play, was a bit naughty... had a cream scone and a pack of reeses cups over the day :-( Week 1 loss: 8.3kg / 17.6lbs Well chuffed, even if it's not all flab lost, my eating is down greatly and I don't feel as hungry as I was...

Thats pretty odd, I get numb feet too - I have very flat feet, I have to wear insteps to stop that but it was frightening when i get it, nobody wants to be the one that fell of the x-trainer :D

I found it worked really well from home. It took a bit of getting used to, things like eating as much fruit as I want seemed crazy but not being allowed to eat much meat on green plan. I ended up losing 3 stone, I then gave up after a holiday as I thought I could maintain... but went to old habits.

Get some salt in your body after & make sure you warm down, when you hit the end, aim for a 5 min slow down.

I like egg protein when I am training or low carbing - I think you can get it now on myprotein, i used to buy it from lowcarbmegastore.

I find that the bike and x-trainer are the best to lose fat fairly quickly and drinking plenty of water whilst doing it, ensure you get something salty in your meals. Walking worked for me - this coupled with diet definitely sped it up, it was only 30 mins a day but it really helped.

I've been and I am very wide upper body and have massive legs, it was a bit of a squeeze and the seatbelt was mega snug! If it's only for a few hours I can deal with it, if it'd have been any longer I would have probably folded in on myself.

We don't buy cards but we do buy our dog a dog- cake, we get the cat some fish.

360: Fifa and occasionally COD. PC: League of legends & CS:GO. Used to play alot of WoW find it hard to play now, it's changed alot - bit boring.

Top 3: qotsa, kyuss, wolfmother Others: clutch, slipknot, deftones, rammstein & them crooked vultures

Hello, I'm really interested in hypnosis and dieting. Do you genuinely feel like you're not hungry when doing this?

Hey, I am in your boat after a crazy binge-fest from October to January. I've been into many of the diets, I guess it's horses for courses but at present SW has been the best to me, seconded by WW. I dramatically lost weight on VLCD and low carb diets, I also dramatically put it on (+ more)...

Green tea is great if you're feeling stodged, Twinings do some good flavours and Sainsburys has a whole bunch of them - I have a cranberry and raspberry one, it's great.

I did [and currently do] fat burning on a recumbent bike, I have never noticed a slow down. When I was deliberately eating egg protein with the diet the loss became slower but I was building muscle, that was part of the aim.

Hello, I am following SW Green Plan. Originally when I signed up, I put in a similar post to this where i'd lost 3.5kg over a week and asked whether this could just be water retention and being regular, nobody really knew. I find it difficult it could be down to the calorie defecit over 5 days...

So... all went horribly wrong after my holiday in September, I never 'got back on the wagon' properly. In November/December I was doing some heavy cardio & weight training, alot of protein, creatine and taking ZMA/Tribulus at night - I beefed up a bit and fat loss was noticed, but the weight...

Current loss 37lbs! Club 10 achieved, not far off 3 stone. Been very naughty recently but backed up with gym, time to get clean again with diet.

Finally, I've reached 2 stone down as the milestone. Gym is definitely helping, my diet has been less than perfect for many self induced reasons but I'm back on track.

Only 1lb loss this week... time to engage the gym.

Only 1lb lost this week but i've been naughty :P Total loss 23lbs.

Total loss at 22lbs (well, just over) - 10kg lost thus far, down a size on tops and trousers (at least!).

Managed 3lbs this week, but i guess it all depends on your start point (and how overweight you are), if i was nearer the correct size i should be... i doubt i'd be getting these sorts of losses! Best of luck linxminx21!

3lbs this week, not the crazy losses of the other weeks... but a loss is a loss :)

Turned out to be 8lbs, weighed a day early as I expected to be getting the car sorted. Total loss 15lbs, very pleased!

Week two, 6 more pounds :-)

I'm not sure how that works as i'm 6lb lighter this week too, I think being active helps - pretty certain that with exercise you can lose more than 2-3lbs a week, or i have an awful lot of water - which is possible!

I have been sticking to the diet and have lost now a total of 15lbs, 8lbs this week (re-weighed saturday am before car mot repairs, that's an even better way to lose alot of pounds...) I don't understand! Friday I was 2lbs heavier (hence original post of 6lb loss), by Saturday I lost 2lbs - is...

Saturday Morning: Apple, 2 oranges and banana Lunch: 2 x hotdogs (quorn) and 2 x wholeweat hot dog rolls with mushroom and onions Dinner: 2 x wholewheat roll with quorn burgers, 2 x eggs and mushy peas. Snacks: 1 x chilli snackajacks, 2 oranges and an apple.

I thought the green plan was a bit too good to be true, but i've managed to lose 7lbs (probably a bit more if dropped the kids off at the pool). Very happy, I hope I can keep this rate up! To be honest, even half the rate would be fantastic!

------- End of week 1 7lbs weight loss (but i was a bit 'full', if you know what i mean!) ------

Thanks for your responses, I do not go to groups - I really don't have time and to be honest, being the only male in the village puts me off a bit. I only weighed myself out of wonder, my top felt looser and unlike on atkins when i lost the first two week weight, i can see an actual difference...

Hello, The scales already say i've lost just under 7lbs already, I am starting to notice the loss and it doesn't seem to be water (i used to follow atkins heavily so used to the concept). I am wondering whether this is water or not, would I still lose water like i would do in ketosis on...

Thanks for the clarification, still not quite getting this - it's too good to be true (even in reasonable amounts!).

Hello, I have just started, had my first day yesterday and well... it's different for a diet! With S and SS foods, food optimization - is it supposed to boost weight loss or to keep you fuller? I understand F, FF and C, CC but S and SS is a bit of a confusing one, for instance bananas aren't...
