Hi everyone, I also started in Feb, on Saturday the 7th of Feb. I hope to lose 2st by the middle of April for my wedding. I'm usually a size 10 but I lost my marbles over the summer and christmas with planning the wedding etc. I was so stressed that I just ate whatever and comfort ate all my childhood faves so I put on loads in a short time! So anyway when I took my head out of the sand and realised that I needed to lose 2st by April, I knew the only way I could do that was doing a VLCD so I did some research and settled on CD. Found a CDC about 5 mins from me, who is just lovely, and away I went!!
I've been finding the diet a lot more doable than I thought. At first I just couldn't imagine living on packs alone for months, sounded like some kind of sordid punishment but so far its been good. I went to my first weigh in on Tuesday, 4 days after starting and I had lost 7lbs! Really happy with that!
Yesterday (day 5) was my hardest day though, I just felt lethargic and headachey all day, it was awful and all we had in the house was sugar coated nurofen so I had to grin and bear it. I didn't really feel like eating anything in particular but I could have killed for an orange or an apple. I'm not a big fruit eater usually but these days I find myself fantasising about them like they were the naughtiest chocciest treat ever lol.
So far my fave packs are;
Plain porridge
Vanilla
Strawberry
Chocolate
Chocolate mint
Butterscotch
Choc and banana tetra packs
Spicy tomato soup (the other soups have a strange after taste...)
My next meeting with the CDC is next Tuesday so hopefully another good loss, thanks to this wonderful forum so I can stay motivated through the week!
