DD 15/6/12 13 stone 12.4 STS - 54.2lbs left to lose
as predicted stats stayed exactly the same as yesterday eating my BMR 1600cals on DD today so tomo should have some weightloss, I dont think it will be as much as the 2lb I lost on yesterday but I didnt expect that much anyway!
Mrsc my bodyfat scales are the best investment I've made, its great seeing bodyfat reducing! as well as the weight!
I'm good struggled to keep calories low, had about 700-800 so may not get a loss tomo gonna get a good down day in on monday as having two UDs sat/sun, try to have 1600 each day post weight in morning hope to have lost half a pound!
I do UPs tues, thurs, sat & sun and DDs mon, wed, fri but im uber strict! Either way I think you have done really well and im sure you will be fine

down 0.8lbs
Day 6 today 6.4lbs down not bad
I've only done two down days this week, sat and wed, on the morning after down day I have lost weight, I know its not waterloss as my water % is the same and my fat loss has gone down from 46% to 44% so the only thing that is moving is the fat % muscle has gone up a little 0.5%. Yes I've done them all (vlcds) they dont really work in the longterm, once you stop and start to eat again, you end up in a vicious cycle eating, putting on weight then going back on a vlcd again, this plan works because you don't go into ketosis! but you need to be strict on your down day, as close to 20% of you BMR as you can and thats why the magic works and also strict about you Up day you need to eat over 1200cals its best to eat as close to you BMR as you can and on the morning of my Up days my weight and all my other stats stayed exactly the same as you would expect as I am eating the right amount of calories my body uses for the day. It's not an easy plan because you have to show alot of restraint, you also have to trust that it will work, that you will lose. I'm doing this diary for myself and to show others that there are other quick weightloss solutions other than vlcd which is expensive and frustrating! I promise you that my weight and stats are the truth, and will post a gain if there is one. I think you may find that once you start eating again you will gain as your body has shut down because of being on so few cals days after day and glycegen regain, but give it two weeks of being strict and you should see that weight fall away again. a good pair of bodyfat scales is essential (salter ones that I have £22something from argos) I think, weigh only once in the morning naked, put scales away and good luck let me know when you start!
