Morning ladies day 12 for me and I am down by 10lbs. Still losing, but more slowly than last week. Feeling good apart from the metallic mouth, but have a breath spray and might just take some toothpaste with me today (I like the taste of mine!) and swill it around my mouth, as that feels like I have brushed my teeth. 
Hey Twinkle, so great to see you so upbeat. Do you mean you could not afford VLCD financially, or in another way? Now I have switched to exante, my weekly food bill for me is only £21, so defo less than I would spend normally, with virtually nothing bought in terms of meals/snacks when out and about. Curious now, are you still doing 600cals a day, or more lenient. Glad it is working. 
There are quite a few people posting now, which is fab, so sorry if I have missed any questions. Been reading back and Philomena about Exante, I find it varied, tasty and a very good price, with lots of special offers. www.exantediet.com
They say only to do sole source for 3 weeks, then up to 800 cals, or more for a week or so. I wonder if they are covering themselves, as you do it yourself, with no consultant, like Cambridge. From my research the medics seem to be saying, as long as you have no health problems, you should be OK to do a VLCD for 12 weeks. Cambridge say this too and they are extremely longstanding, 30 years I think..
Have a great Sunday everyone!
