Hi,
i've never done a VLCD before and i can't quite believe how much i think about it all the time...
last year i lost a stone (very slowly) through just healthy eating but then after a holiday, Christmas and another holiday put it back on and then some.
i've been going for a few weeks now and becoming increasingly obssessed with it all so thought i'd start one of these.
results so far:
start weight: 14st 11lb
wk1: 13st 12lb (-13lb)
wk2: 13st 6lb (-6lb)
wk3: 13st 2lb (-4lb)
wk4: 13st 3lb (+1lb)
i'm using the CDC weigh-in results, even though as i weigh in the evening it's normally 3-4 lbs more than my unofficial morning weight-in.
the last week results are because i had a day off in that week - it really messed me up. i did it because i had some invites i would have struggled to get out of and felt like i needed something to look forward to when i started.
unfortunately, i had a dreadful reaction and was ill (either from rich food or because i had a couple of drinks - i did eat carbs first so i thought i'd be ok but clearly not).
on the plus side i now have a better idea of what to do when taking a break - i have two festivals coming up at end of July and then end of August where i won't be able to diet.
it's difficult because on the one hand i really want to lose this weight as quickly as possible, but on the other hand if i don't come off the diet i won't have anywhere near as good a time - half the fun is eating and drinking interesting stuff.
so my plan is to be 100% except for the breaks and hope it doesn't make too much difference.
