Well i thought I would join ranks and start a diary. I am hoping it will give me the motivation to keep going and suceed.
I have been on this diet now for 5 weeks and have lost 30lb.
The first weigh in was 5 days after i started and i had lost 12lb...2nd weigh in i only lost 2lb (after the inital excitement of the 1st one i ate and started to pick) so after that dissapointment, the next week i lost 6lb, 3rd week 4lb 4th week 5lb and this week i lost 1lb (went back to picking again) but this week i have been so good and got on the scales this morning and have lost 4 lb since monday.
I really want to suceed this time. I was actually saving for a gastric banding op as i could see no way out of this body. Believe it or not, i had never heard of VLCD before, i had heard of cambridge and lighter life but never knew what was involved.
I must say, this is the easiest diet i have ever done as it takes away all food choices, but it is also the hardest diet i have ever done, as the temptation of food is always there.
I read this message board religiously.... i do wish i never found it as i am a student nurse with plenty of studying to do and this site has taken all my time up and i have no time for assignments now!! but on the other hand, without this site i really dont think i would have carried on. I love reading everyones messages and losses and seeing that other people are struggling means i am not the only one.
For anyone out there contemplating do CD my advise is DO IT..there is no way you can not lose weight.
I hope i am still posting on here in 12 months time asking for advise on how to maintain my goal weight, that seems a far off dream but it is also realistic dream.
Good luck everyone
