Hey Gem,
Welcome. My best tips are:
1) Clear your fridge and cupboards of any temptations (if you don't have it you can't eat it). And, I have a family -- so, I buy them what they like but I don't. (For a fat person I am very picky.)
2) The water flavourings really work for me -- so, I mix up a jug at night or first thing in the morning and pour it into four 1/2 litre bottles. Then, I have two others with plain or fizzy water in the fridge. When those six bottles are empty I know I have drunk at least 3 litres. I also have a small bottle to put in my bag when I leave the house. Drinking steadily throughout the day is key. A eventually your body will adjust and you'll be able to manage not running to the loo constantly. The first few days of a VLCD you will lose a lot water because most of us are retaining water due to high salt intake, and not enough water.
3) Add exercise -- but slowly and only build to what you can sustain long term. The key to long term weight loss (and then maintaining it) is to change your lifestyle. I made the mistake of taking on an incredible amount of exercise (when I went on LL) and I lost very fast (5 stone) -- but when I stopped working out, I started regaining at about 2 pounds a month (over 2 stone back on).
So, this time on CD -- I plan to make long-term sustainable changes to my diet and fitness programme, so that it becomes how I live my life. It may take longer to lose, but it should all stay lost.
4) This website is very helpful, so stick with the plan and us... and you can do this!
