Haha I am technically classed as bariatric, either way it's a better mentality I have that i did before dieting.

Thanks for caring it means a lot, It's an amazing community my fitness pal, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. I do understand why i am losing weight, my literate skills are definitely not a representation of my intelligence, I got a D in English at high school which is very poor and that reflects slightly on…

With a deeper search they probably own an online health shop selling supplements etc... lost a lot of respect for doctors when I went to mine to help me lose weight when I was 22 stone, instead of giving me nutrition advice, activities to do etc... he told me to just be more active like when the controller is across the…

He seems very sure of what hes saying, and promises results, so cautious is definitely the word to use.

I agree it varies between people, and i think your right it's what works for you as everyone is different shapes and sizes, the health benefits are great and for me easier to sustain than a low calorie diet, but for others it may be different. If you have a list of your favourite low carb foods please fire away haha!…

Thanks for the recommendation will have a look!

Thanks for that post just what I needed, I didn't question the feelings I had in the first week as I was expecting them, always helpful to know the reason. The tip is spot on with sodium btw thanks! I am on on about 50-60g of carbs a day, apparently you are aloud up to 75g to keep yourself in ketosis but other places…

Well done! your smile looks great :D Keep going!

If you have a food addiction, and food habits, cutting them out completely within a day stops those habits in its tracks and as of this moment the addiction, I wont stop the diet then eat how I used to, no way. Re evaluating I simply mean whats a good way to keep up weight loss and stay healthy. Such as counting calories,…

I am still working it out, I have about 9 weeks left of this diet, but I calorie counted before and will probably be the way to move forward, I'll transition very slowly back into "normal" foods but I still want a lower than normal carbs in my diet as everything with high carbs seem to be the worse types of food in my…

Cheers Tavistock Toad, its the one diet I am enjoying the shakes are nice, I no longer have the achy feeling for food, it's great for now, I am researching and trying to plan what to do after the 12 weeks are up, so any advice would go down nicely.

Just updated the post to be clearer, I lost 18lbs on ketosis so far, taking regular tests in morning, I started my weight loss journey in october last year with the aim to lose 180lbs. In total I have lost 40lbs so i have 140 to go.

It wasn't 40lb in 3 weeks, sorry didn't see it was misleading I've been dieting since october last year, its been about 18lb in 3 weeks, I lost 12lb the first week and a steady 3 for the other 2 weeks, first week of water weight

Being 26 stone and 7 pounds wasn't a tackle with food it was a tackle with an addiction and habits I had built up over the years especially in the evening time. Its not about lower calories and exercise, its about going cold turkey breaking a habit and re-evaluating your lifestyle. I'd agree burning more than you eat to…

Hey, i'm 6ft 2 and total to lose is 180lbs i've lost 40lb so far please add me :D

I’ve used Exante meal replacement. DO NOT listen to people who say they are bad and your put on all the weight you lost. It’s better you’ve lost it then come to that bridge when it happens. And if it works for you who says you can’t be your goal weight and then if you put on a bit go back on the shakes. Weight loss is…

Add me please and join me on my massive 180lb weight loss 39lbs down.

Hey I'm on a journey to lose 180lb i've lost 38lb so far, could really do with some friends :D if you want to see me i've made a video https://youtu.be/eXYudM-M5mo

Recognise why you are overweight, get down to the very core that's making you eat non-sensible amounts of food that made you need to lose weight. For me it was emotional eating and addiction, so my cravings worked around how I felt, and like an addict the worse I felt and the longer I went without bad food the more I…
