Well done great loss you are doin brill

Im sorry I never measured myself but I have kept a pair of trousers that were tight on me now I could fit another person in them be it a very small person though but its my only way of measuring

I always refill my bottles of water and it hasnt done me any harm plus there is always a supply of refilled bottles of water in my fridge especially since the local council have decided to turn our water supply off at 9 at night and not turn it on again until 7.30 in the morn can you imagine...

Well done Laura your an amazing inspiration

I hate those bad days but they get fewer I have noticed my moods are awfull since I started LT I have turned into a dog

Well done your doin very well

You can do this if you were not on this diet and in the kitchen you could have been up a few pounds so keep goin glug that water down and keep goin sometimes it just takes the body a little while to catch up so keep goin and keep your chin up remember thescales are still goin in the right direction

Mine is not looking too good either Im slendertoning crunching, and I have lotioned and potioned and nothing is helping it needs a serious case of nip tucking. I also think it is from several years of being streched I haved always had terrible strech marks now they just look like layers of...

No hiccups thank god

Glad Im not the only one someone called to my door a while ago and I could see them look at me very strangely

I have the sparkling water in a wine glass it fools alot of people

Laura Im with you on that one I can cope with the odd dizzy spell but the cold is ridiculous I cant get anymore clothes on it looks like I have lost no weight I have so many layers on

Get that water into you Denise you can do it

Niki best of luck with it this time you need to be strict withyourself though just remember your reasons for doing this they must be stronger than a night out or a weekend away so stick with it you CAN do this

I have gone for six days, just remember your stomach is not taking in as much at the moment so there is not as much to pass out shall we say, need any more help just let us know

Maybe you need to increase your water intake there is also a few other options available you could try the fiberclear which your pharmacy will give you there is also sennokot and then the dreaded dulcolax if thinks dont get any better. Best of luck!

Well done on your loss

Eating is cheating Im afraid, this diet is a total food replacement people occasionally cheat but it comes back to get them it will knock you out of Ketosis and takes quiet a while to get into the swing again so if you are determined to lose weight you will not cheat because the weight loss...

well done for those that have posted so far and best of luck for those weighing later today

Im with you on that one most of the people who are sceptics are usually overweight themselves or really skinny people so I just nod my head and dony rise to the bait

Just remember tomorrow is a new day

Ive seenit all now

Bed used to sort that for me

Primark all the way, I have to teach in a college and cant go in tatty with my trousers falling off so I got a few trousers and tops in there they do just fine

Well done thats a great loss

Well done thats a great loss

Glad your feelin better today, positivity is the way to go

Not only have I stretch marks but I have inches of spare skin which is bloody awfull

Well done thats an amazing loss

Im all alone too doing this, which sometimes makes it hard but when I log on here there are lots of other people in the same boat so that helps, now I must go and do my stomach crunches or I will always have a flabby belly, Nite everyone

I know a few people who have done the maintenance part with a lower BMI than 30, but my pharmacist was quiet strict about being over 30, I was just above and in a little way Im thankfull because LT has given me the kick in the butt i needed

Well done you two for speaking honestly Im glad to say I havnt cheated (well only in my dreams) this is a hard enough struggle something we have to cope with every day I know if I cheated once and still lost I would cheat again so Im not even goin to go there.

We shall all battle on then

Sounds like me Im just dying to see 11 something on that scales then I will so chuffed I just want to give myself a little cushion of a few pounds because I dont ever want to see 12 stone on a scales again.

You can do iit just keep goin keep drinking the water and you will get there you have done so well so far dont go givin up on us now we need you arouund here.

As the others have said its still goin in the right direction so keep your chin up

Well done thats another great loss

I go by the pharmacy scales as mines differs greatly, I chose my target BMi as 23 as it gives me a small few pounds to play with that could change though over the next few weeks

Set yourself some mini goals and you will be surprised how quickly the weight will fall off

overall my goal is around 3 1/2 stone but that may change, in my first week I lost 6 pounds but I know that varies some people lose alot more than that.

Water is what stops me being hungry and its great for this time of night when I want to do some munching

I think Its roughly around 4 plus litres but it can vary but it never goes below 3

When I saw this thread I had to go and make my self a cup of peppermint tea mmmm, do you know when you mix it with the chocolate shake is it better with hot or cold tea.

It could be fluid loss but if I were you I would hide the scales for a few days and then hop on again then you will see for sure

Best of luck with the first day a few more and you will be in ketosis then the fun will start

I just wanted to say good evening to everyone and wish everyone great weight loss this week :D

Listerine mouthwash and listerine strips do the trick I know the taste of the mouth is horrible, by the way I think its only the original listerine

Well done and best of luck with eating i hope you get to your target soon

Set yourself some mini goals and down that water it really helps

Welcome to the site and best of luck with your weight loss, everyone here is so helpfull and always have some good advice, they have certainly helped me when Ive been feeling low. So heres to a slimmer you you will start losing before you know it just glug pleanty of water, you were brave with...

Well done its probably the combination of the water and exercise I have also started excercising this week so hopefully it will pay off for me too on saturday

Just get back on the wagon it will just be tough for a few days again down that water and dont give up it would be a shame so keep goin we are all here to support you so in future KEEP AWAY FROM THE DINNER

Well done you

Well done thats brillant, good idea losing the extra few pounds thats my aim too

Thats a good loss keep your chin up its 2 1/2 pounds less weight than last week so keep goin glug that water and you will be fine

I just love when that hapens it happened me with a boots gift card recently and I got some new perfume and body lotion

if yor still in the cleaning mood you can clean my house Im too tired to do it have been workin since last fri and dont get a day off till wed

next years will be a twelve, well done you, next have fab coats at the moment

Well done another great loss, your doin brill

As the others have said the scales will catch up when you least expect it, so keep shaking those shakes take the laxatives and lots of water and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Well done thats great and best of luck for the weigh in tomorrow

Well done thats great to know it is still possible to lose on refeed

Why does that section always smell so good and why do large supermarkets put it on the enterance of the shop to tease me.

your welcome thats what we are all here for to help out in the little ways, I also got my self an excercise ball earlier on in the week Im finding that quiet good because when I laughed today my stomach muscles actually hurt which muust mean some of them are working

It does look a bit bulky though might be a little obvious, I stick it on the minute I come home while iorning or making the kids lunches for school

I have the belt and it takes about 40 mins its great very portable

Mine would be similar Ive learnt the unhealthy hold that food has on me and that I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to control those demons, ive also learnt that I must have looked awfull because everyone is telling me I look so much better now and healthier.

As the others have said dont give in you can do it you can get your self back into ketosis atleast you know what triggered you to eat now and you can try to do something else to occupy yourself if that situation happens again.

4 1/2 inches which is good so maybe you should give it a go

some one peeling an orange now that smells really good mmmmm

I use my slender tone without fail every evening but I have been using it since the start of LT so am not sure which is working but one of them is a sI have lost that spare tire and a bit more but I also do my sit ups everynight

Im glad Im not abnormal I smell everything I even take peoples plates pick them up and sniff people are begining to compare me to a dog, that cant be good. On a total other note Im Knackered Ive just finished working 13hrs and I feel like every bone in my body is saying ouch and worse still I...

Just remember to be positive look back through the threads for ideas just remember not to eat any carbs if you do it will knock you out of ketosis

Well done thats a brillant loss keep up the good work

ok this is something I dont have advice on, but hopefully with the weight loss comes the confidence gain maybe with the smaller size clothes comes the confidence to get out there.

my ultimate goal is to get to 11 stone 3 that means I have around 12 more ponds to go, other than that it was first stone-done second stone -done 2 1/2 stone -done 3rd stone nearly there

Well done its a great feeling isnt it people keep looking at me very strangely and then they realise what the differance is I just wish they would stop saying you have enough lost now. But well done with your great losses keep it up.

Sorry your feeling so low it must take the mind a little while to adjust to being thin keep your chin up because you are such an inspiration to the rest of us here so keep going just write this evening off go to bed and when you get up in the morning its a new day and a new start then on monday...

We will all keep our fingers crossed for you

We all look forward to those photos of you in the calvins

you can do it at least when you have it you have something to aim for

right things that have made me happy this year 1: I got a promotion in work to Clinical Nurse Manager which meant a nice pay rise 2: I got first class honours in my honours degree 3: I got accepted to UNI to do my masters 4: My sister had a baby girl whom I am godmother to 5: I have two...

Heres hoping it will, well if anything I think my attitude to food is changing

Me too I would eat a huge portion and clear kids plates too well that habit has now stopped

Well done thats a great feeling

Me Im hoping another few weeks and then refeed and maintenance I dont think Ill go below 11 stone as Im 5' 9'' and I look to miserable when I go below that.

Dont mind me I just dont have time for one Im too busy with work study and kids I think its the glass of wine im missing or a man!

I find on my own scales it doesnt budge until the last day thenbingo it moves down like magic just have faith there is no way possible you cant lose weight on this diet

Ok I have no life I need a social life boo hoo

We are all here to help each other you will find in a few weeks you will be giving some other new person advice and edging them on no thanks needed

Stick to it only a few days to weigh in and you are surely in ketosis by now so keep up the good work and when you are feeling down log on here to get support there are alot of truely inspirational people here will help and guide you through the bad days and cheer you on with your weight loss...

KIT kAT AND A CUP OF COFFEE MMMMM

Looking Good Howdy very Impresive

I am starting back in college next week and I am trying to move house so I know what you mean about the finances, might have to try that with the shops, I went to buy a few things yesterday for going to UNI and kept going to the bigger sizes my brain needs retraining IThink.

I would try anything to get rid of my wobbly bits

Gosh Id love Lipo on my thighs and flabby belly that would complete the transformation

Im with you on that my top half yeah I can notice but as for the bottom half looks like the weight loss still has to reach that dept I think ketosis is afraid to go near there

I must try that its for nothing

Well done, you have had amazing weight loss on your journey you must be so thrilled

Well done thats a great loss I hope I can do as well as you when I get to maintenance keep up the good work

Thanks Irene hopefully only another few weeks before I refeed am getting very nervous about eating though

Good Morning everyone I just wanted to wish all those weighing in today good luck and heres to great loses:)

God this all sounds so yummy, hopefully I will be able to indulge soon, hope your not to cutup over your weighin you have done so well you should be proud

Ive tried bio oil for my stretch marks- no result, Ive tried clarins- no result now im on Palmers coco butter with Vitamin e and am hoping for the best

seeing the 11s will make it all worth it Im 5' 9'' and I want to get down to around 11 3lbs , so hopefully by next week Ill be on the home stretch.

Well done thats a brillant loss

Thanks cause I have been racked with guilt over it my poor sister thought I had swallowed a fly or somthing she couldnt understand why I was having a panic over a little bit of lemon

well done on reaching that first stone milestone

Well done you are doing so well keep up the good work

Well done on cooking that meal I know you were anxious about it, it will be worth it at the next weigh in, I usually have my last shake around 9 at night it cuts out the evening cravings when Im watchin tv

I keep my last chocolate shake for around this time on a fri night it takes the longing off that bottle of wine for a little while anyway

Sorry I cant hep you Mariad1200 but I have never tried the atkins diet.

Really you should try and force down your shakes I wretched taking them for the first few days but they do get easier, you are probably feeling so rough do to ketosis you will start to feel great in a day or so, so try and stick to it, it really is worth it in the long run you will be so...

You are an inspiration and an added bonus on this site I hope I can take a leaf out of your book with your great positivity keep it up.

Glad you are feeling better and sorry LT is not for you but you do need to look after yourself, take care and I hope you find a diet that suits you, I just want to wish you the best of luck for your path ahead

Just take a few paracetamol tonight and hot drinks it helped me over the first few days

I would take the advice and get it checked randomingly over the next few days mine was always high but now its gone on the low side, so if it doesnt settle If I were you I would try and refeed and see if it makes a differance it could be due to the increased amount of watr you are drinking...

you only have 9 lbs to go so i agree with the othes stick with your 2 shakes a day and one low carb meal and you should be able to shift that last 9 pounds so keep goin and dont lose the faith you can do it your willpower just needs a little attention.
