10 week vlcd

[minimalist99]

Hello,
I was wondering how much weight u fellow vlcd people have lost in the space of 10 weeks. I am planning to attend a friends wedding in 10 weeks and am attempting to loose weight. I am abit 5 stone overweight so i am desperate to loose some weight using exante till the wedding.
Looking forward to hearing your success stories.

My weight hasn’t been doing much since weigh in (Saturday) and actually went UP a little but this morning I’m down a pound, so that’s 11.5lbs in 12 days. Let’s see what ‘official’ weigh in brings this weekend.

I will say that the cravings have been STRONG the past couple of days. I got paid today too any my brain is telling me to get McDonald’s for lunch

amused 11.5 lbs in 12 days, that's amazing! Better than I did for sure! I only weigh once a week , Thurs morning, that's it. I'd just get frustrated if I saw the scales going up and down so I just stick to one weekly number .

Has anyone tried the coconut shake? I had it yesterday and it had no coconut flavour at all, I went back to check I hadn't opened the wrong packet.

I don't weigh daily but step on too often, official weigh day is Wednesday for me, this morning i was 2lbs up on yesterday's weigh in. Not letting it bother me.
Keep on keeping on.

I weigh every day as I find it keeps me motivated. if I don't I tend to lose the plot and justify having a day off.

Minnies the coconut one made me feel rather unwell (flavour!) so I've set those ones aside. I love the chocolate mint one, although I under-ordered expecting them to be awful and they were delicious! Felt like a real treat to have them.

Offer still remains for anyone who wants a few berries packets for free - I'm happy to post on to anyone who messages me.

I LOVE the cherries and berries shakes! I'd be happy to take them off your hands if you're sure. I can pay postage?

I haven't seen chocolate mint ones or the berries and cherries, guess they were out of stock when I ordered. I love anything chocolate orange flavour so thought I'd love those ones but it's so sweet and doesn't taste of orange.

Keep meaning to ask if anyone is having bowel issues. I'm not going very often and it's hard work when I do

Oh yeah, I'm always massively constipated on this diet. Slimatee (also known as Poo Tea in my house!) is your friend!

I love the chocolate mint ones but they are out of stock. I've just placed another order now though because the majority of the ones I like are back on the website and I don't want to chance waiting again, as it's like musical chairs with their stuff at the moment.

Ahh thanks amusedbush will look into that, is it widely available or only from a certain shop

Holland and Barrett, thanks amused, heading there tomorrow to get some.

Yep, Holland and Barrett and it's super cheap. I don't follow the instructions, I just use one tea bag once a week (the day before weigh in ) and I've never suffered any ill effects. Just an... ahem... natural... full evacuation... the next morning

I steep one bag in a cup of boiling water and let it sit until the water is lukewarm, then drink it. Don't "double bag" - trust me!

Excellent thanks

@amusedbush no problem, pm me your address and I'll send them over tomorrow.

Think I’ll get some of those teabags tomorrow too, thanks for the tip.

We went to a vegan cafe for lunch today, I had a spinach pancake with asparagus. I couldn’t eat it all, in fact I had about 1/4 then dh & ds finished it. I’ve felt sick since. They are both fine so I think it was just too much for me. I’ve not had any Exante products today at all. I don’t know if I should just try and have something or just wait until morning & see how I feel.

I’m thinking of just doing a 5 day food week and getting back to 3 shakes/bars on Saturday.

Well done to those who haven’t given in to KFC, licking chocolate fingers and such. Good luck to the new starters. We will all be slimmer & feeling fabulous at the end of it.

@Wetdogloveshubert

Thank you! I’ve PM’d you

I had an ok day today, shakes for breakfast and lunch, for dinner I had cold chicken and salad with coleslaw.

I haven't done this since I joined this thread a couple of weeks ago. Had a few shakes and then food not long after! But I'm feeling committed again and I'll have a significant birthday in about 10 weeks so I thought I'd ask - for those of you that have done it or know of others, what is the average weight loss over 10 weeks? Thanks all

Sorry, that was lazy of me. I can see Tyrion and Amused's losses right here on this page As you were
I guess I can expect a couple of stone off.

Last time I did VLCD in 2016 I lost three stone in ten weeks, but I was significantly overweight, which helped with the big losses

Has anyone else found doing this has messed with their cycle? I’ve started again today (sorry, nothing like over sharing with strangers on the internet) it’s only been a week since my last period. So annoying. Possibly just a coincidence.

Ronny there are lots of people saying similar elsewhere online. I've not experienced it yet, but I'm mid-cycle anyway.

Thanks Amused - you've inspired me

God I feel Crap today , first day of a new job and my uniforms tighter than I wanted it to be ( they said order a size up I am usually a 20 ,so went for 22) they had to send my trousers back so I am wearing the wrong trousers , I just feel crap and I ain't sure lipotrims working anymore I lost 16lb up to week 2 , week 3 I only lost 2lb I expected more . i am drinking 6- 8 pints of water too add to that.

So you’ve lost 18lb in 3 weeks? That’s pretty good going. Try not to feel disheartened with your uniform, it’s as tight as it’s going to be, from now on it’s only going to get looser, you’ll be asking for a new one.

Have had a rough few days so it's been a couple of shakes here and lot of food there.

Even though they've been bad in terms of food, I have lost 2lbs so that's a plus for me!

I've been enduring in drinking 2L of fluids a day alongside 4 shakes. I am making them with almond milk even though they say I only need 1 with milk but I felt completely empty.

I'm still on 800 rather than 500 a day but it's still a drop in terms of what I usually eat so I should still lose weight at a decent pace.

Cannot wait for my first stone!
