I think I'm a slow loser too Katie... But we're probably losing twice as much as we would than on a 'normal' diet!
I was expecting big losses week one and two.... But I got over it and rather than feel upset, I'm just watching the weight on the scales go down!
I'm in this for the long hall
and hopefully by the end of May I will be at my goal weight and I shall post a before and after pic!! Do u think u will?

So weigh in day and... I ve lost 7 pounds am very happy with that.. So this week I hope to get into the 17's. But I am definitely a slow loser so some weeks I don't lose a lot but I am here for the long haul ..
I got through the weekend and it wasn't too bad I kept myself occupied. I am going to try and start exercising. How is anyone else getting on with exercise? I'd be interested in your feedback x
Thank you for your kind comments and support Clin, and Tara x Hello to Diva How are you doing? x and hello to M Im going to look for your diary to subscribe x
So here s to week 2...

That's brilliant well done.
I think a bit of exercise can help but I haven't done a lot - not enough energy. I'd probably give yourself 2-3 weeks to adjust to the plan if you haven't been exercising regularly. I find yoga ok but swimming takes it out of me a bit, but I have enjoyed it.

I ve forgotten what day I'm on .. I'm still getting some very hungry days Think Im going to get some Ribena Plus as I do have trouble getting water down. I can not get my act together regarding exercise , Keep reading conflicting things, I'm hoping that will fall
into place as I lose weight.
Thank you to everyone who visits my diary it really helps x x

Regarding exercise... this is just my opinion: I think we are on too low calories to do something really intensive, particularly cardio.
However, I do think that - in spite of the protein element contained in the diet - we are still at risk of losing muscle mass as a vlcd is pretty drastic and the body does have a tendency to turn to protein stores for energy. Bearing that in mind, I do think it's a good idea to try and protect your muscle mass as much as possible. I think you can do that by making sure you have 4 packs each day or 3 packs plus protein and also by doing some strength exercises. The more we manage to keep our muscles strong, the more calories we keep burning.
Those are my thoughts anyway!
