Haha Marge. For me it honestly does. I even amaze myself. On any other diet I am a sugar junkie thinking what I can have as my next hit! Lol

Right as of today I'm on Exante for as long as I can stand! This is my last ditch attempt, I'm 16 lbs away from my first goal of BMI 25 and I'm yo yoing up and down. So I'm going to blast as much of it off as I can with Exante then I'll switch to a lifestyle plan to either lose the rest more slowly or maintain my loss.
Enough fannying about...lets do this thing!

God me too! Here to subscribe. In fact can you please come over to my thread. I need a good bloody shake xx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was just going to say the same thing!!! I'll be very happy to have some straight talking if I am tempted to go off track. I've got nearly 7st to lose to get to my first target and then another 2st to get to my ultimate goal so I'm in it for the long haul. Just popping in as I'm on another VLCD called Saints and Slimmers but it doesn't have a board and no-one else seems to be following it. I've done Exante in the past but just didn't like the shakes or bars. Saints shakes and bars are sweeter which satisfies my sweet tooth. VLCDs are all much of a muchness anyway. As for ketosis, I have never tested for it since the first time I did a VLCD (about 6 or 7 years ago). I know my signs - metallic taste in my mouth, freezing cold, and smelly armpits that only I seem to be able to smell! Day 6 for me and 11lbs down so far so it's going well. Looking forward to following your progress, gretagip!

Hello Nefertari- great name btw!
I've never heard of Saints and Slimmers so shall go and check them out. You're right, VLCDs are all the same in the main. I do t kind Exante products but only the bars, shakes and noodles. Pancakes are ok too. Everything else makes me heave.
Wow! 11lbs down already, that's fantastic. My weigh in day is tomorrow and I think it'll be 9lbs off for me. This is my danger time though... I start feeling all grumpy and dissatisfied and really not feeling like I can face another bloody shake or bar and my weight loss slows down. I start telling myself to 'just eat healthily and the last little bit will fall off ' and bam! Three weeks have gone by and I've put back on those 9lbs. And so the cycle begins again.
I have a tried and trusted method however! It really works too! Now this sounds a bit barking but it honestly isn't ... It really concentrates the mind. If I'm really wanting to eat and feeling desperate, I just tape my mouth up. Yes, I stick a piece of sellotape over it and just sit there for a while until the urge passes. My husband is completely used to this insanity now so it's all good. In fact, we are down to a small eye roll these days as opposed to his initial WT-actual F are you doing ? response. Progress! Anyway ... Try it.
So I'm a bar down so far and a pint or two of sparkling water. That's my news.

Haha! That's brilliant!
I normally bury my head in a book or pick up my knitting! It's usually boredom calling and after a few minutes, it passes. I'm the same though - I get angry at myself for having to do this stupid diet again and then convince myself I can eat healthily. Not this time! I'm determined! My husband is dieting as well and his smelly veg in the evenings is less than appealing which helps! X
