Start VLCD tomorrow

[Fattiemcfattieson]

Am 15 stone, need to lose 5 :-(

Any tips for success much appreciated. Have bought a weeks worth of the plan.

Thanks

drink the water! Also, the worst bit is the first week, so it's a case of just getting on with it.

I'm currently about 6 weeks in (with a break in the middle), and the only reason it's working as well as it is, is because I don't have to cook for anyone else, I have nothing in my fridge, and no biscuits/crisps/chocolate in the cupboards. I'm buying non food groceries from places like Wilko where I'm not tempted by food aisles in the supermarket, and I'm not socialising, so not feeling pressure to have "just a taste" of someone's cake.

Stone and a half down so far, and almost two dress sizes, another four to go. Best of luck with it

Thanks for the reply! That’s really encouraging. And really great progress, well done!!!

Day two for me, can’t say am enjoying as really love my food but I feel like I need this as a massive kickstart to weightloss iyswim

How's it going?

How're you getting on?

What flavour of VLCD are you doing? I've done 4 weeks and 2 days so far of Exante. Started at 14st 8, I'm now 13 stone. DH has lost a stone also.

The first week was the hardest, but there are times when it's felt really hard at random points. I've found warm baths in the evening, instead of my usual takeaway and snacks helped. I'm also trying to save money and this is another motivation to stick to the diet.

I do get constipated. Slimatee helps with this (it has peppermint and Senna). I have one can of Dr. Pepper Zero per day, a mug of Oxo, peppermint tea and lots of water. I've also got some Exante Burst drinks which I like.

Good luck x
