Hi everyone!! I've been hanging around your threads a little bit and looking for tips and advice. I taking the big plunge to vlcd after 5 months doing slimming world. I've lost 1st2lbs but thought I'd have plenty of time to get to target but I lose weight slowly, so now it's time for something a bit more drastic.
I'm going to Thailand in 5 weeks. 22nd aug, so plan on attempting slim and save for 4 weeks, I absolutely love food so am really anxious.. I have a good diet it's not like I eat crap I eat very healthy food and cal count also, but just want to go on holiday feeling confident for the first time ever!
I have twin boys who are 5, and my bf lives with us so I'll still need to cook normal food for them, which is going to be quite trying.
Soo, I have my taster pack, and am going out tomorrow night so starting Sunday. Depending on my losses I might just do 3 weeks then gradually build cals up over the last 1.5 weeks so hopefully I don't gain too much back using SW red days so limiting my carbs still.
Does anyone have any advice or tips? And what I can expect, or ways to get through the hunger which I'm really worried about! Or how does everyone eat the meals? Mainly Meal or shake based plan? And how do you mix the veg in, or ideas for the protein meal maybe. Also does it make exercising quite hard? I'm worried I'll have no energy then want to eat again. Ah god so many questions!
4 weeks isn't that long so I keep thinking I can do it but I'm scared!
Thanks. Looking forward to getting to know you all xxx
