I have been doing my own VLCD since April when my BMI was above 40, I was mostly under 500 calories a day until few weeks ago, now that my BMI is just below 30 I have increased my calories to 700. I ate a lot of lean protein like baked chicken breast and fish, egg whites, canned tuna. The rest...

Uh. It looks like I only write here when I am stuck on a plateau. Here I am again, the weight is constant for a week.

For me things clicked when I realised my clothes were not fitting me anymore and I would not be able to find bigger sizes. It would be go out naked or stay locked inside my home! :crazy: Dieting in a constant struggle but it is thrilling to have to go shopping for new clothes because the old...

I have been watching the Australian ones on YouTube. Yes, Jillian is there too. :)

Childhood centered on diets because my mum wanted a partner, I was never allowed to sweets unless she wanted them too, which left me with a bad relantionship with food. Things got out of control when I started suffering from depression and anxiety. Throw in the mix some boredom, lazyness, low...

Hi Carol! You are talking about Mike's thread, right? I have been following it. Uh. I put on 1 kg in 24 hours even though I ate really well yesterday (tomato+carrot+cabbage+chicken stock soup, 2 crusts away toasts, prunes, small oats biscuit, yogurt; 615 calories, 13g fat, 40g carb, 19g...

You look fantastic Diane! Well done!

Yes! I am no longer obese!!! However I noticed I have a lot of flabby skin on my belly...

It has been fun 3 weeks. My sister was here visiting me so I took few days off my diet. I am very close to an "overweight" BMI so I decided to increase my calories a little bit from high 400s to high 500s or low 600s.

I'm in. My BMI was 41 in April, it is 31 now. This year I don't want to shy away from having my picture taken. I want my daughters to have pictures of us together, they have none so far. :(

My weight chart:

That high number on Sunday was because I went to a birthday party. There is no way of knowing how many calories I had there but I think I have overestimated them. Anyway, I walked 7 miles in the morning that day to make up for it. I am trying to do longer walks lately but I am getting blisters...

Weekly totals: Sat Total cals: 451 Sun Total cals: 982 Mon Total cals: 474 Tue Total cals: 457 Wed Total cals: 484 Thu Total cals: 427 Planned for today: between 388 and 500 calories

Yesterday I also had a big portion of fage with honey and muesli. :)

I had a delicious meal last evening: leeks, carrots, asparagus, and grilled prawns. Yum! I am overjoyed I have found out that Fage yogurt is available around here. I had heard great things about it and it is really delicious. Today I am having a fage 0%, chicken, carrots, and raisins salad...

No, I don't think so. I have been doing my own VLCD, some of my meals are quite large with plenty of lettuce or other veggies while others are very small. I feel it takes me longer to digest a large meal of veggies because of all the fiber but that does not make me hungry for having large meals...

That plateau lasted for 10 long days. I am back on track now. :)

I would like to lose about 20kg (48lb) more. I have lost almost 24kg (52lb) since early April on a ~480 calories diet. I will slowly increase my colorie intake when I am closer to my goal. I don't do much exercise, though.

Congratulations!

I lost 200g this morning! Finally! Thursday's menu: Chicken Breast Skinless roasted, 50g; Cod Loins, 100g; Lettuce, 100g; Red Pepper, 200g; Tomato,1; Sainsbury's Smooth Peanut Butter 33% Less Fat, 10g; Apples, 1; Cheerios, 10g; Broccoli, 70g calories:397, fat: 8g; carbs:44g, protein: 47g...

Hi Tegan. I am doing my own very low calorie diet too. How much weight do you want to lose?

Mixxi - 7 lbs Goldenaky - 8 lbs

I lost 11 pounds! :D

Hi Stacey, Are you drinking at least 2 litres of water everyday? Sometimes it takes few days for the weight to come off. Be pacient. :)

Welcome and good luck!

Aaargh. Can't get off this plateau! I did the second week of c25k again today, it was much easier than 2 days ago. 5kg/11lb/0.8st in one month is not bad but I feel I could have lost much more. I have started taking Fibra Sure today to keep things moving, I was constipated for days. Not...

Wow! What a great loss in these 5 weeks! Congratulations!

Welcome and good luck!

Welcome and good luck on your journey.

I don't get ham issue. I thought everyone knew that what we usually buy is reformed pork meat. I believe the really fatty bits that guy showed go into sausages. It is stupid to complain that pancetta ceasar sandwich is high is salt and fat. I bet it is delicious, though. :giggle:

Yesterday I started week 2 of c25k, it was not too hard. I did it early morning but by 3pm I needed a big cup of coffee or I would fall asleep.

I have lost 5kg this month but only 1kg came off during the last 2 weeks. I hate, hate, HATE plateaus. :(

I count in kgs so I experience those sticking points more often than you. :giggle:

I was grumpy because I thought I was not losing as fast as I wanted but now I see I have already lost one pound more than the goal I had for this challenge. Yipeee!

Let's see if I can post my weight loss chart. It is in kg.

Thank you! It was the time of the month again on Monday and with it I hit yeat another plateau. :badmood:

Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate It will help you calculate your daily calorie goal.

Was there milk in your tea? I use The Daily Plate to count calories, they have a pretty good database. How many daily calories are you planning to have?

Drinking copious amounts of water while in a very low sodium diet is a bad bad idea. Hyponatremia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yesterday I reached the 50 pounds lost milestone! :thankyou: I have been doing well. I ate a little more yesterday than I had scheduled (apple, carrot, half slice of cheese, 2 pringles) at a picnic but I was still under 500 cal.

Yes, I am. I have been controlling it since April when I started calorie counting. I guess I will struggle with it until I die but I have promised myself to never let me go down that self destructing path again.

Yes, I do take multivitamins, calcium, and omega oils supplements daily. I don't believe in most of what is out there about starvation mode because if the food intake is smaller than energy expenditure then fat loss has to happen eventually. There is no way around it. Sometimes it takes a while...

My elliptical cross trainer is broken! :cry:Not sure if we will be able to fix it, one of the arms broke on the where it connects to the horizontal bar. I have lost 4 pounds this week, half of that came off yesterday after walking for 3 hours. I went to a party on Saturday, I believe my...

Two pounds is a great loss. Imagine 2 pounds of butter coming off your belly and thighs. :D 666, you may need some help with anxiety. My GP gave me mental training CDs for depression and anxiety that helped me greatly. Without them I wouldn't be able to do a VLCD. However the doctor who made...

Yesterday I had: 100g chicken, lettuce, 2 tomatoes, 30g ricotta, 65g tuna, 1 toast, 2 little prunes, and 20g peanut butter. Total: 431 cal, 12g fat, 7g carb, 53g protein My average for this week is under 450 cal daily but my weight is up and down between 87.7kg (193.3lb) and 87.2 (192.2) for...

Hi Linzi, Do you mind if I join this discussion? I have lost over 40 pounds since April but I have a week long totm plateau every month. Don't worry to much, if your calories are still low then the weight has to come off eventually. :)

My plan for today is: black coffee crusts away toast 4 fried egg whites (no oil) 200g melon 10g reduced fat peanut butter 110g roasted skinless chicken breast 2 tomatoes 120g carrots 10g reduced fat peanut butter Buckets of water. Totals: 428 cal, 10g fat, 36g carbs, 45g protein

Hi Diane Thanks for your kind words. No, I don't feel hunger. After reading many threads here I suspected I was in ketosis. I bought ketostix last week and got a purple result. :)

In June I started the couch25k routine. As the weather was not nice I did "week 1" on my elliptical for 3 days, then I repeated it running on a park 6 times. I also walked easily 6 miles for a fundraising, I regret not signing up for the 12 miles route instead. Unfortunately I have injured my...

It all started in 1990, when I was 19. My mom was dying of cancer. I became a compulsive overeater once I started suffering from depression and anxiety. After my mom passed away and I broke up with an unsupportive boyfriend I got myself back on track and lost the 100 pounds I had put on in 8...

Goldenaky: 9 lbs

Hi everybody! I am originally from Brazil but I am now living in Scotland. When I started suffering from anxiety and depression in the 90s I became a compulsive overeater. I had two failed attempts to come back to a healthy weight, one in 92 and another in 96. Now that I am a mother of 2 and...
