Newbie to VLCD!

[Enzo]

Well, I might start my goals after the first few weeks.. my goals now are 1day 1week 1month and 1stone. Nearly done the first one my goal date is 1 year to be realistic, so if it happens before then I'll b even more happy!! I'd love to sunbath in summer with confidence!

Thx 4 the encouragement

 

[Enzo]

Well, thats 1 day and 1 goal down 6 more days for goal 2 (1 week)!

 

[OneTwoFour]

Well done!! You can do it

 

[lentil2]

What a positive post!

Well done for taking the plunge and starting and sounding so upbeat too!

Xxx

 

[Enzo]

day 2 down! banana shake and mushroom soup not bad either!!

Guys, whats the deal with chewing gum? Can I have it and if not is there any type i can have? X x

 

[JoanneM]

Well done on getting through your first couple of days.

Chewing gum isnt recommended coz the act of chewing stimulates your saliva glands which can make you hungry Im afraid.

 

[Enzo]

5 Days down now 2 days from my 2nd goal! Can't say I've been really hungry yet, so I must be coping well!

Joanne, thx for the advice about gum, I may give it a go some time as before when I've dieted, I chew gum to occupy my most and hasn't made me hungry at all (plus keeps breath fresh). I assume I have to go for a sugar free one then..

I dont bother with chewing gum cos it makes me soooo hungry, im a mouthwash kinda girl haha. But if it works for you and it doesnt make u hungry, go for it xx

1st WI today, 1st week.. -9.5lbs!! down to 138.5lbs

Burning a few hundred calories a day on the kinect is starting to get me hungry!

Starting to feel good about myself, the 9.5lb loss has given me a boost of encouragement to turn down those chips and sausages!!

 

[JoanneM]

Well done Enzo. Keep on resisting and youll be at goal weight before you know it.

 

[*lil*]

Well done

 

[Enzo]

Woohoo!! Week 2 down, and this is becoming routine now so i'm finding it easier!!

2nd WI is -10lbs =D i couldn't be more happy, as thats 19.84lbs in 2 weeks!! I'm worrying a few mates as i'm losing so much so quickly!

I'm down from 17st 13lbs to 16st 7lbs so I'm getting there nice and quickly

 

[Enzo]

Ahh, week 3 WI in an hour!

I've been 90% this week, as over the Valentines weekend I gave in to a lamb shank as other half couldn't eat it all!

It's not an excuse, but I wasn't worried about ketosis as I bought some sachets that go into water to flavour them that said they were designed for VLCD and specifically said they WONT knock you out of ketosis. I drank my water like thie for 3 days and eventually in the smallest of small print on the APPLE one (but not the strawberry), it said it contained citric acid grrr, I then calrified this way ketostix and I went from the top of the scale to one above negative

I don't expect to lose much (if any) this week, so I'll be happy if I do later!

[KatHmum]

Well done!

 

[Smallerme]

Enzo that is absolutely amazing, over 2 stone in a month, I am completely jealous. Makes it all worth it eh. You're going to have this licked in no time. Keep going!

 

[Enzo]

Well wk 5 WI yesterday (It was my AAM week but I didn't eat every day I didn't really want to!)

- 2.1 lbs isn't too bad at all

 

[Enzo]

Week 6 WI, +1.5lbs but haven't been 100% so I deserved it! Back on track now for next MONTH 100% (got more inspiration from the before/after thread)
