lockdownweightloss

Hi all, first time here. Never really had an issue with my weight in the past but went from being probably the slimmest I'd ever been in 2019 to a fair bit creeping on over lockdown(s) leading me to be the biggest I'd ever been!! So on advice from others tried Exante, just a quick easy short term fix to get back to how I was before and get back in the healthy BMI range.
I'm on Total Solution but am not doing an evening meal - I know that's not the guidelines, strictly speaking, but I just want to get all this off as quick as I can and get back to normal. I'm also drinking 4l of water a day and trying to walk about 7km a day. Must say I'm really impressed with the results so far, been on since Monday and I've lost 10.5lbs! Goal is to get down to about 180/185lbs, hoping to do that in about 10 weeks or so, perhaps a little longer. Really just going with the flow and seeing what happens
So without further ado here is my diary:
DAY 1: 226lbs (starting weight)
DAY 2: 224lbs (-4lbs)
DAY 3: 220.5lbs (-3.5lbs)
DAY 4: 219lbs (-1.5lbs)
DAY 5: 217.25lbs (-1.75lbs)
DAY 6 (today): 215.5 (-1.75lbs)
Can already feel clothes are a bit looser on me which is brilliant. Going into ketosis isn't too bad but finding I'm massively craving salty, carb-y food at night. I'm holding out though as I find if I'm just strict with myself the craving eventually goes. Had some issues with being a bit bunged up shall we say! But took some Dulcolax then started taking 2 psyllium husk capsules, 3 times a day and already feel better for it.
Not expecting any replies or anything but if I put all this in a public forum it makes me more likely to feel accountable to sticking to it I think! Happy to answer any questions anyone may have as well.

). But I've been back on the wagon since so I thought it was only right that I have a sneaky weigh-in and see if there has been any adverse effect. I was fearing the worst but I'm happy to report I'm another 2lbs down! Wouldn't make a habit of it but it satisfied some savoury cravings and I'm back on full throttle to get myself down to my goal before lockdown ends
