Hi there everyone,
A quick intro .... I decided I wasn't going to be fat & 40, so age 39 and a half I joined LighterLife
I was slim & 40; it was wonderful
As I'm sure lots of you on here have done, I went back to eating the same old same old and ended up putting the weight back on and a little bit extra. So over the last 4 years, I've done LL again (lost the weight ... put it back on) - twice!; WW; Slimming World; Dr Braffas non-diet .... and everything else you can think of!! Oh except surgery ... I'm too much of a wimp
So now I find myself age 44 and a half and not wanting to be fat & 45!!
I know that VLCD diets work; you lose weight quickly - thats my first challenge. Keeping it off will come later!
So I've decided to give CD a whirl (for one its cheaper than LL) ; i did have a very dodgy CD experience when I was about 19. It must have been in its very early days cos it was awful! I think I lasted about 4 days
I'm on day 3 and so far so good .... I've been having skimmed milk in my tea and have had a couple of slices of ham each day. Knowing that this is "allowed" makes it much easier to get through this first few days into ketosis. I love the vanilla (I was a fan of the LL vanilla before they changed it), the ready made choc shakes are handy for work, the choc orange was alright and I hated the porridge! No headaches so far & i am doing ok with the water.
Anyhooo ..... hi everyone .... I'll ramble on here most days to keep me focussed ... love to hear from you for support.
Have a fab day!
