Hi, I was directed to this discussion forum by my best friend as she thought it was helpful.
I am on Day 2 (loading) and tomorrow I am starting the VLCD. I am 5'4" and weighed 174 lbs. *before* loading, ha ha. My goal is 135 lbs.
Tonight I am having some friends over for dinner and one person is bringing cheesecake for dessert ;) so tomorrow will be the big day for me. I must admit I'm terribly excited but SCARED! Will I really be able to control my appetite? Is it crazy to start this close to the holidays?
Anyone else started just recently or will be starting in a few days?
One thing I am confused about is the daily dose of the potassium supplement. Is it 10mg? 50mg? or more?Thankful People: MeganRN, Heather t0402, sweetchris -

EAT!!!!!!!!
Eat a lot today. I even went as far as eating a Big Mac for dinner. I NEVER eat McDonalds!! Eat like you would be embarrassed if someone saw you! :) -

Hopefully I get my supplies today and start loading tomorrow! Husband and I both decided we'd try give it a try. Started cleaning out the kitchen of all the snack foods so they're not around when we start VLCD! -

I just started too. Today is my first day of VLCD. I gained good 4 lbs during loading. This is the heaviest weight I have ever been to. I am 5'4 and I weight 184.3 after loading. My goal is 120 - 135.
This is my first round, I am doing 23 days for now and after all these holidays I am planning to do a 40 days round.
I am not hungry today. I only ate a little fish and veggie today. Let's support each other here. -

I'm not taking the potassium yet but, like you, would like to know the dosage that others are taking :-) -

I take 2 potassium pills 99 mg twice a day. I take 2 because I exercise and it helps with muscle work. I stopped all of my supplements when I started this diet and I started to get leg cramps at night so I started taking them again and it stopped. -

Starting first day of VLCD diet on 43 day protocol here as well! Loading days were Sat/Sun and boy did I pig out (though I still think I could have eaten more). Biscuits and gravy, alfredo pasta, and all you can eat fried shrimp and fries with all the sides on Saturday night...followed by bagel breakfast sandwich plus bagel and cream cheese, mexican fiesta for lunch/dinner, followed by a Blizzard for dessert, not to mention the dozen (yes 12!) Little Debbies I had during the course of the weekend.
Even with all that, my stats were as follows:
26 yrs. 5'5"
Before loading: 205 lbs.
This morning after loading: 208 lbs.
1st goal: 170 lbs.
Going to buy a digital scale tonight...I do not think my dial scale will cut it this time. Excited about the journey! -

today is my 2nd loading day for R5.
i have a supplement that is 90 mg of potas and 90 mg of magnesium. i take 2 pills twice a day- but i had problems with muscle pain in the past. you could try starting with 1/2 of that dose.
