Any1 like to join me on a liquid diet???

[painforlife]

My visit to the G.P today has scared the hell out of me. I still weigh over 100 kg. The heaviest I have ever been in my life. I was in tears at the Dr's and she was trying to assurre me I can loose the weight it's not impossible.

I'm on some drugs that cause weight gain which I cannot stop taking or I'll be back to being suicidal Again!

I was given orlistat (weight loss pill) last month but a recent blood test revealed it was causing my vitD yo worsen so I've been taken off it as I get vitD injections every 3months as it is because my vitD is severely low.

So I've gotta loose the weight now without any help from weight loss tablets....

To be honest this is the first time I'll be doing it this way.

So after reading up on various diets it seems juicing is the way to go. So no solids just liquid for the next month. I will weight myself on 30th June & hope to be back under 100kg (this will be my first weight goal).

Anyone want to join me???? We can encourage each other and I'll be posting what I'm having everyday to see how I'm doing.

I'll need a lot of motivation and support and of course I'll support/help myself as much as I can :)

Have you got a deadline to lose a certain amount of weight by then? If not then the 5:2 diet is fab. It's not even really a diet, you get to eat whatever you want (within reason!) 5 days out the week, 2 days eating 500 cals and then chuck in a bit of exercise. The weight will come off in no time!

Thanks ihavenamechanged I don't have a particular deadline for it but I do the weight to come off within the next few months so I don't hide indoors during the summer period. The sad thing about it all is I cannot exercise because of my physical disability - just doing stretches in the morning kills me. I've got a slipped /damaged disc in my back which doesn't help either. That's why I thought liquid diet - I know it'll be hard to stick to it but I really need to shift the pounds. I did the 5:2 diet before but without exercise and almost binging on sweets on the non fasting day kind of defeated the purpose of doing it :(

Pain, you could come and join us on the VLCD thread. No judgements over there, lots of us have a great deal to lose. I started at just one pound under 17stone on the 17th April, and this morning I was 14st 12.5.

We are a really friendly bunch, bb pants has lost 4stone, Sammac over 3stone. We do know what it is like and if you fancy a handholding come on over. link here

Thanks, sconeinsixtyseconds that would be lovely to join u ladies :)

Good luck x

You will put it all back on again if you do a liquid diet.

You'll have to change your eating habits long term to make a real difference. It took a while to put the weight on so will take more than a couple of months to lose it.

Do it a day at a time :)

thanks for the advice Cyb - I'm going to be eating breakfast as normal but replace lunch & dinner with juices. I know it's gonna take me a while to loose the weight I'm not in great deal of hurry. just wanna Louise enough so my back pains ho down - there is too much pressure on my back atm due to weight :(

That sounds awful, sorry but it's no way to eat. You will get extremely bored extremely quickly and end up breaking it anyway. If you must do it then aim for 2 weeks only then go on to something more sensible. Low carbing is good because you don't have to worry about counting calories etc and you get to eat nice things like cheese! Or 5:2 is great if you don't want to cut out any particular foods. Just juice though sounds horrible.

I Ehric ur right the pricing didn't last llong :P

I've decided to try slim n save VCLD.... actually ordering it today... there is an ongoing thread on here for it already. the diet is sensible & learning the others have had success is giving me great comfort :)
