    Hello Everyone!
    I have enjoyed reading all the support group comments and encouragement. I wanted to start one for those of us starting this week! So here are my stats. This is my first time to do the HGC diet. I am anxious, excited and terrified all at the same time! VLCD1 starts August 25th!
    8/23 - Load day 1: 191
    8/24 - Load day 2: 192

    It looks like I am a day behind you, today was my first day of loading and it's my first time on the program also. I am having such a hard time eating as much as I think should, just wondering how it's going for you.

    R2VLCD1 starts August 25th for me too! I'm so excited to get back on it, and SO sick of loading.

    8/23 - Loading day 1: 183.6lbs
    8/24 - Loading day 2: 188.0lbs (What the heck?!)

    DEFINITELY ready for VLCD!!!

    Hello, i am starting D1 VLCD tomorrow as well. I have done the diet before. Last year I lost 30 pds but have since put it back on plus 20. I am so frustrated. My weight gain had more to do with food addiction than the diet failing but now I am starting all over. 8/24 load day 2 = 197.2. I am also going to food addicts anonymous meetings in an attempt to stay focused and beprepared for maintenance this time. Would love some buddies.

    GREAT! So glad to have some buddies! Yes, I was very challenged with the food intake on the load days - I am a healthy eater, I know healthy and overweight...I don't get it either. I am not used to having so much fat in my system...I felt nauseous both days. I didn't gain as much as wanted for load days, but I did all I could...giirl is showing us up on load days already! Not to worry giiirl, it'll all come back off in VCLD's....if you don't mind my nosey....how did you do on your first round? Winnie, we are behind you 100%! The fact that you can admit your addiction to food and are seeking help with that is a huge step! Ok...off to have some camomille tea :) Everyone have a great day!
    8/23 - LD 1: 191
    8/24 - LD 2: 192
    8/25 - VCLD1 : 192.6

    Good Evening Ladies!
    Today went well, waited a bit too long before I ate lunch and started feeling weak. No hunger pains but a serious caffiene withdrawl headache all day. Thats what I get for drinking coffee and a soda every day and quiting cold turkey today! Day two here I come!

    Why did you give up caffeine? We can drink all the coffee and tea we want correct? I don't think I could survive without it.

    Today is my last day of loading an I am looking forward to getting into the diet to start to see the results I see so many experiencing.

    Hey there! VLCD1 went great for me. I didn't even eat until after 4:30pm and even then it was because I had too. It's not bothering me too much yet, I hope cravings don't cut in on me this week.

    whindsong, you're right, you can totally have all the coffee and tea you want. I don't like the taste of either really. I'm stuck with water, but I'm definitely okay with that!

    Btw, 182.6 this morning. :D

    What are you guys doing for lotions and toothpaste? I have heard that you can use certain lotions. I live in Arizona and my skin is super dry and I can't imagine not being able to put anything on it.
