It's only the 13th today - are you sure?

[rozia]

Loose the weight gradually over a longer period of time is supposed to be better for you, but well done, that is amazing.

Well done, but don't live on milkshakes for too long, balance it with other food items for a slower more healthy weight loss.

i will keep you up to date so it keeps me on my toes, and so i don't stray..im so proud of myself, went to visit sister, and she had my favourite cooked-chicken and chips, i resisted it and went home after sitting there and not letting it get the better of me...

make sure you eat enough though, rozia - I know you want to lose a lot, but just shakes over a long period doesn't do good, long term.

Be aware that initial weight loss is usually water. Also diets that depend on meal replacements often result in weight gain when proper eating is resumed.

The trouble with shakes is that it doesn't teach you what and how to eat. You end up going back to your old ways as you haven't actually educated yourself about how to eat healthily and less than before. You need to decide what to eat, when to eat it, and stick to that forever. Not fiddle around with weird fad diets that work whilst you are on the shakes, but leave you clueless about how to actually feed yourself long term.

Scarlet has siad it all. I would limit the loss to 2 pounds / week, thats a healthy limit. Your body can drop it'smetabolism drastically if it senses the onset of a famine and you end up eating less and gaining weight!
