I am on my 1st day of VLCD ever. I just got home and I am not really feeling "hungry/starving." I am feeling like I need to eat. I feel like I haven't eaten or like I am empty. I guess I am used to feeling full or even satisfied. So, I ate an apple and I drank some tea and now I am drinking water with lemon.
Hi All. Today is my 1st day of VLVD. So far its been great. After the 2 load days, I felt I didnt need to eat for a week. I am very excited being part of this HCG family here and I love all the lovely help u all offer. Thank You!!!! I am 47 was thin 110 lbs through my 20's even after our sons but then I just stopped caring. I thought what the heck I was so thin for so long a little bit of weight wouldnt hurt. Boy was that wrong. I quit my job as a caterer and have been bored and doing a alot of baking , cooking and eating. Eating to 184 but got down to 171. I look in the mirror and its not my face looking back at me. So here I am. My goal is 135. I am excited about this way of losing weight and am encourage by all of you. Mehlin
Hey everyone, started my 1st vlcd but realized I didnt eat enough on loading days so I am doing another load day today. Going to start vlcd 1 again. I forgot to take my weight sat and sun but I took it this morning. Im hoping to lose 25-30 lbs this round, I hope I load enough today so i dont feel as hungary tomorrow like I did today! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!! Lets keep in touch with are progress!!!!!
I have to tell you all that I have been so encouraged that there are other people accompanying me on this journey, that I feel like I can do this.
I ate asparagus and tilapia for dinner.
I have realized what a large part of my life food has been playing, since all I can think about is this diet all day long. I can't believe I got to this place. It is almost like I look forward to eating for enjoyment. I guess I have heard of food being companionship, but I never realized it had become my companion, but it is almost sad to realize that this is probably why I am thirty five pounds over my "regular" (not ideal) weight.
I agree WestonGirl, if it wasn't for all these wonderful people helping me along the way, I couldn't do it. I read threads and say Hey, I feel like that too. It helps me get through it all to know that people are going through the same things I am.
I had steak and cucumbers in ACV vinigrette. I have cabbage soup on the stove for tomorrow. I can't wait to see how everyone does in the morning!
Kay - Dr. S doesn't limit sodium but still I would be concerned about that much sodium. You can make your own broth from your chicken. Do a search for recipes, there are some good ones on here.
I love a cabbage soup made with chicken broth. I cut up the cabbage in small pieces and boil it in chicken broth. Add spices and cook until tender. Then I cook hamburger and weigh out my 3 oz and mix it with about 2 cups of the cabbage soup. Yummy and filling!! I make lots of soups with chicken or beef stock.
