I am starting a vlcd using exante and slim and save. Want to lose 2 stone to be a healthy weight again. Is anyone currently doing a vlcd or planning to start and want to join me? Today is my day 1!!

@Cream123 Wait until Friday and see where you're at, I'd say it's unlikely you've had a gain (unless it's hormonal?) - I lost 1lb, over 1 day, weight can fluctuate so much - I'm not doing this with a consultant but even though I'm tempted I try to weigh just once a week and always at the same time.

Hello all, I’m lurking in the background. I’ve just hit my two stone target. I lost just over a stone and a half on VLCD and then the last half a stone due to illness but I have the two stone off before Christmas. I’m not allowed to do VLCD anymore but I’m hoping with a sensible diet I can keep losing.

How are you feeling now, Milbo? Are you going to have treatment for the gallstones?

Well, I'm 8 days in and 10lbs down. I know it's nearly all water loss, and I really can't feel much of a difference, but it's a good start. I've been doing 2 Exante things and a smallish meal every day. 3 massive social events coming up this week though, so I fully expect to completely derail myself.

Well done @notmiranda that's great going. Hope you're feeling better @milbo.
I'm up 1lb this week after a weekend off plan with a few drinks and carbs. It confirms I only have to look at food to gain as I was low call 5 out of the 7 days.

Still 8lb down in three weeks and 22lb down since my first go at VLCD in August - I really feel lighter and I'm going to be extra good now up until Christmas Eve and then take a break until.the new year.

Happy Christmas all

This thread is fascinating. I'm so tempted to join you but I know that I'd only be able to do it 5 days a week. I'm about 3stone overweight Blush

Sight I’ve been doing it about 5 days a week and I’m still loosing but it’s slower but it’s still in the direction . Last week I was terrible over weekend stuck it m-f and lost 2.5 pounds.
