MY 1ST WEEK WEIGH IN

Well done Tracy! Good luck for the next week.

Hi Tracey brill result for you, well done. You are quite correct lack of water on a VLCD has such a negative action on weight loss and how you feel. Because foods make up around 70% of our water intake generally, when decreasing the foods and using mealpacks you need to drink lots (minimum is 2.25L) to replace the water you would receive from foods. A good bench mark is 3L.
Try 500ml before you get out of bed
1L between breakfast & Lunch
1L between Lunch & Evening Meal
1L between Evening Meal & Bedtime

Also dont forget with bars you also need a glass of water.

Good luck on this week, give everything and you wont be disappointed.

I FINALLY got some new batteries in my scales and...

Drum Roll PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have lost 11lb in as many days...WooHoo

Am really pleased...not as much as I managed last time but this is down to my water intake...it's still very short of where it needs to be but am REALLY trying to up it as I know my weight loss will increase slightly.

Hi Tracy, the suspense is killing us - How did you do, and how do you feel

Hi Guys & Gals,

Well I was hoping to report some GREAT news but I can't...not yet anyway.

I was geared up, all ready for my 1st weigh in...all excited to see how much I have lost...and would you believe it...my scales have give up the ghost...am mortified...my batteries have gone, so am playing the waiting game until my other half comes back from the shops with replacements...the suspense is killing me, I hope I've done well.

Am doing the total plan and have stuck to my meals without 'licking & picking' but have REALLY struggled with the extra water, but that's nothing unusual for me...I did last time too, but I know you have much MUCH better loss the more water you drink so I am not expecting the 11lb 1st week loss I did last time, but I hope I have at leat managed the 7lb mark!

Will be in touch again soon with my results...watch this space...

Tracy
