Hi everyone, I am back on Exante after doing really well last year but then unfortunately putting most of it back on. My problem is that I lost 7lb week 1...I was delighted......2lb week 2....that was expected but this week, week 3 I have lost absolutely nothing! I am really disappointed. I have...

Hi everyone, Seems to have gone very quiet on this thread :( I am still on the diet although it has slowed down a lot, but roughly my loss is about 2 lbs a week. I came off Bank Holiday weekend because it was my birthday and always said I would. I didn't get back on the scales for a week after...

Hi everyone, How is everyone getting on? Sparkley-sounds like you are getting on well with your new diet regime. Well done and keep going. Jayne-0.5lbs-that is nothing and so good that you have only put that on-standing you in good stead for when you are finished. Keep going, you are doing...

Hey everyone, hope we are all coping with Easter weekend! I have lost another pound which takes me into the 10s...so chuffed. Keep going everyone. Slim, hope things improve for you at home, can imagine that must be very difficult. Keep your chin up! xx

Hi Bubbly, My skin too isn't very good at the moment. I have been on TS since January and I have always had oily skin but now I have little dry spots all over my face...it looks like a rash! Also, years ago I did LL and when I had got to a significant weight loss around 3 stone+ my hair started...

Hi- everyone seems to be doing well and getting their heads around this diet in one way or another. I agree with what you say Jayne about just not having the days off or socialising. This is Easter holidays for me from school and the worst one to have as I am off for 2 weeks and usually use that...

Managed to lose another 1lb so have made it to 2 stones! Yay! :D xx

Nice to hear from you both, was getting a bit lonely on here! Jayne I think you have done brilliantly with your illness this week and overall, you should be very proud of yourself. Sparkley you will get back in control I am sure, these things happen....no social events for ages and then they all...

Everyone is very quiet on here at the moment! :confused: Hope you are all doing well! xx

Well done to everyone for getting through another week. So far only 1lb lost again this week! Really slow weight loss. Only have 2lbs to go to hit the 2stone mark but it seems to be taking an age. Never mind! Onwards and upwards, have a good week everyone! xx

Welcome Pixiepop! Good luck! :)

Wow, well done Jayne. I have been a bit poorly again and at the moment I feel so weak and shakey. I am surprised to feel like this after sticking to the diet for so long. I am hoping it is just a blip and it will pass soon! Any suggestions people? I did lose another pound over the weekend...

Hi Smidge, nice to see you back on here! :) xx

Well done Jayne, you are doing really well. I have only lost 1lb since last Friday :( I am trying not to let it get me down because I know how it works with me!! Will keep going! xx

Hi, I agree with you both-losing weight while eating that much is an achievement and as you say, week 2 always like that....I lost 1lb too on week 2 starving myself on this diet!!;)and we know when you only have a bit to lose it is harder. I think he should keep going too. xx

Well done Sparkley, I am pleased you have lost while eating....and slightly jealous too!;) Thanks Jayne, it was just the boost I needed for next week. Good luck to you both too! xx

Snap, Jayne...3lb off for me too, I really wasn't expecting that but am chuffed! Well done to you too :) Good luck everyone else! xx

Glad you are on the mend, Jayne! Thanks for your reply! :) xx

Hope you feel better soon Jayne! I had to take loads of cold/flu tablets a couple of weeks ago when I had mine, but desperately wanted a hot lemon drink to sweat it all out! Can I ask you, are you doing the 'week off'? I haven't been because my weight loss is quite slow as it is. I was in bed...

Sparkley, that diet sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Well done to him! I have lost 2lb this week, haven't made my February target but that seems to be par for the course for me!! I am being so strict on this diet....absolutely determined never to do this again......but feeling a bit weak...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share something which has really cheered me up! Today, 2 people at work separately asked me if I had lost weight!! :) I was so chuffed, it makes such a difference when people start to notice, doesn't it? Anyway, it made my day. Sparkley, your post made me laugh, I...

Well done, Jayne for sticking to it while your friend was there, that is so challenging. Enjoy the book, Sparkley! Have a good weekend everyone! xx

Hi everyone, Great weight loss Jayne well done! I have managed 4lbs this week which I am really chuffed about and takes me to a total of 18lbs. Big thanks Sparkley, I am feeling much better now, especially as I have lost and did stick to the diet while feeling awful. My daughter told me that I...

Hi Isis, Nice to see you back on here, we missed you. :) I have read your diary, I am sorry to read your news. You sound like you are coming through a very stressful time, well done for staying strong and I am so glad that you are still on the diet and doing something for you! Brilliant! xxx

Jayne, I have to say that I did have to resort to a sugar free menthol sweet, I know it isn't allowed but I was coughing so much and I don't think it has dome me too much damage! :) Been out today and got my nails done....my treat to myself for sticking to the diet!! Also been playing Candy...

Ah Lent, the time to deprive yourself of chocolate before the big pig out on Easter Sunday!! But it is a good way of keeping yourself on track, Ninja....sticking to this or something else for 40 days will make such a difference...I'm with you on that, good luck! You are very good if you can burn...

Hi everyone, Hope all going well-great weight loss Jayne and you will soon be on track again Sparkley, I know! :) Welcome back on to the diet Ninja! Hope you are having a good half term! Feeling a bit better now, just streaming cold but not sickness or achy any more. Cancelled a pre-arranged...

Thanks Ninja! At least if I can explain the lack of weight loss I can live with that! I have just had a bowl of the vegetable soup and my OH says that my jeans look too big for me (he is lovely, says the right thing at the right time!) so I am not going to eat. I have a chocolate orange bar to...

Hi everyone, Need your help! I feel awful, first time I have managed to get on here since Friday. Full of cold, aching all over and generally feel yuck!! I am taking cold and flu tablets every 4 hours, but just feel like eating!!!:sigh: I have had 1 small handful of nuts today, other than that...

I am hoping not, Dietninja, I will feel so cheated of my half term break if I can't shift this. I have just had some vegetable soup and that has helped.....but you know what it is like when you feel poorly!! xx

Well done Jayne. Great loss :) I woke up with a terrible sore throat so drank a whole glass of water and then remembered I hadn't weighed myself......so not doing it until tomorrow!! Wen to school and then was sent home ill, shivery and shaky!! Not good, but need to keep on track...

Yes, me too, Dietninja! :( Just don't get away from it, do we?? xx

Hi Dietninja, I am Deputy Headteacher in a primary school, what about you? It has been quite a stressful half term and am looking forward to the break, but just don't want to break the diet. Other half isn't a teacher so he will still be at work which might help!! I want to do the fasting days...

Hi, Nice to see you back on here Dietninja and Sparkley-it was getting a bit quiet-and glad you are still sticking it out with the diet. I am half way through week 6 and hoping for a good result at the end. I have half term next week (I am a teacher!) and that isn't good. I am better at...

Hi Jayne, Yes it is, isn't it? I have been checking in every night but not a lot happening! Hope everyone is still okay and keeping strong! xx

Hey!! I somehow managed to lose another 2lb over the weekend so that now brings my total to the 1st stone.....done in 5 weeks. Feeling a bit more positive now! :) xx

Oh, I hadn't heard about that, Isis. When I did LL I did lose 5 stone over 6months, so I was technically a month behind everyone else, I am really hoping that is the case here too. I'd be a bit worried at adding real food at the moment.....the temptation to eat other things might be too great!;) xx

Hi Jayne, Yes I am doing TS and I swear I have stuck to it 100%, I also upped my water intake to 4 litres a day and have had that every day. I know you are right a loss is a loss and I am not going to give up. I have a holiday to New York booked for the summer and I intended to be comfortable...

Okay people, I need some help. I am in ketosis according to the sticks....nice shade of pink! But yet again I have only lost 1lb.....I don't know what is going on. Do you think I may be retaining water??? If so, what do others do about that? By the way, fantastic results Isis and Jayne, really...

Does anyone here use ketone sticks? If so, what shade of pink should be the right one for the ketosis to be taking effect? I got some delivered today and haven't used them before. Thanks xx

Hi Jayne I drank so much more water yesterday and have lost another pound-that takes me to 11lb, I am hoping the same will happen tomorrow so at least I have lost 12lbs in the full month before we start the February challenge. My birthday is also at the very end of April (30th) and I want to...

Love the necklace, Sparkley! xx

I agree with dietgal about not doing a food week, I have no plans to do one (especially with my weight loss) but may have a latte next weekend as meeting a friend for coffee....not planning to eat though. Isis I hope you are feeling better today. I have apple and cinnamon porridge every day...

Thanks dietgal, I will do :) xx

Have fun, Sparkley! And thanks! :D xxx

Fingers crossed!!:) Thanks for your support, Isis. It is good to feel that you can come on here and chat to someone who knows what you are talking about. xx

My husband has just been reminding me that when I did LL I was always behind the others in the group but by the time I had finished I had caught up with the weight loss...so hopefully the same thing will happen this time, :) xx

Hi Isis, Thanks for replying! :) I haven't done a food week yet because of the weight loss and absolutely not exercising at all. I know I should but when I did LL I never did.......one of the attractions of doing this again! I try to drink about 3-3.5 litres of water a day and lots of black...

Thanks Sparkley, I hope you are right......I am not going to give up or give in to it!! Happy Birthday by the way!!:D Have a great time xx

Hi Isis, I come to the end of week 4 on Monday. My losses have been 5lbs, 2lbs, 2lbs and 1lb.......honestly I have been so good too!!

Hi, Friday weigh-in...1lb loss only after another 100% strict week :( Don't know what I am doing wrong!! But very well done to all of you who have done so well.xx

Really well done mrsdkt that is so good and you have every right to feel proud of yourself. I hope you have got over your ordeal and feeling better tonight. Also, well done Sparkley for the weight loss despite the eating that is fantastic news and I hope you stop being hard on yourself as a...

I am on a laptop, Isis

Can someone tell me how to reply with a quote in a speech bubble??? I don't know how to do it :(. Sorry Sparkley, that's what I tried to do with your post!! xx

Hope you are feeling better Smidge, we all go through it. Try to stay positive. :) xx

Oh, mint chocolate? I hadn't heard of that one...that's going on my next order! :) xx

I only have the chocolate shake, Isis, find the others to sweet!

Hi! Had a busy day, cleaning and helping daughter with homework! I'm in Sparkley for the February challenge-I really want to do a stone a month but will be happy with 12/13lb or thereabouts. Cooked a Burns Supper for my family.....I had porridge......keeping up the Scottish link! :) xx

I do get a satisfaction at looking at a clean house after it is all done though. Might try and fit in a bit of window shopping for the future, you know what I mean ;) xx

House cleaning and work preparation for me, nothing exciting so need to keep busy! :) xx

Thanks Isis-I appreciate your support! :) xx

Haha-no not doing any exercise at all! When I did LL I didn't do any exercise either and lost a stone a month. I admit I was younger then!. I know you are absolutely right Isis that 9lbs is good but you are also right that we do expect more because we have done similar diets before. I just...

Isis-I want to lose 3-4 stone. I am probably drinking about 3.5 litres of water a day. xx

Hi everyone, Well done to all the successful weight loss stories. I did my week 3 weigh in this morning (although it technically is only day 19) and have only lost 2lb again-(9lbs in total). I feel a little disappointed because I have stuck to the diet 100%-honest! Three packs a day and nothing...

You will feel soooooo much better about yourself for sticking to the diet! You can have toast and whatever else you want when it is all over and you are managing your eating...keep reminding yourself of that.......that's what I have to do! x

Toast....my downfall too....could live on it. That was what tempted me this morning until I came on here and was re-inspired!!

I agree with everything you said Sparkley. My target this time is a family holiday to New York in August. I want to have finished long before then and be maintaining my weight, hopefully doing 5:2 so that when we get back I can just carry on....that's the plan anyway!!:) I want to lose 4 stone...

Hi everyone, Been so busy this week and haven't been able to get on here at night. I have just been reading through what has been happening and there are so many fantastic success stories and photos. Well done everyone! I had my week 2 weigh in yesterday and lost only 2lb. I have to say I was...

Hi everyone, So many success stories already, well done to all of you with your weight loss so far. I weighed my self on Friday and had lost 5lbs in the 4 days, I was chuffed with that. I then had to go to my sister-in-laws overnight for her birthday lunch. It was so hard. I agree about the...

Hi there, Is it ok if I join this group? I started TS on Monday so now on day 4. I did do Exante last year but was off and on and lost up to about 2 stone....that has gone all back on again. But I did do LL years ago and lost 5 stone in 6 months so I know these VLC diets work. So far I feel...

I only have the chocolate shakes (thought the chocolate mint was awful) and I add coffee to it and that is fine. I haven't tried any of the other flavours, stick to what I know-choc shake, porridge and choc orange bars! :)

I bought a load of the berry and chocolate bars and ended up throwing them out-I just couldn't face them! The chocolate orange bars are so good though!

Good luck Lilly-you can do this-it is hard at the start but it does get easier-I am at the end of week 3 now and I am not even thinking about food at the moment-I just get on with it and I do feel sooooo much better physically, Stick with it-it is worth it-use the summer as an incentive, that's...

Good luck everyone! I have a long weekend birthday treat next weekend and I have 3lbs to go to losing my first stone-really want to do it before I go. I will be off TS while I am away but I am hoping having reached the stone will spur me to go straight back on to TS on the Tuesday!!

Are you drinking enough? Water, black coffee-that's what gets me through the day and stops me feeling hungry. x

Hi Lesley, I am sorry you don't like them-is it worth getting another quick order in and spreading out the ones you have already bought so you don't have to have just them? You can get next day delivery. Have you not got any bars?

Keep going Lara too! :)

Aww, Constantster, don't beat yourself up for coming off for one day. Well done for getting back on it and also for coming on here and admitting it! Stick with it, you can do it! :)

Well done!! You have done very well to lose if you have been ill and not stuck to the diet. I have just had a porridge for lunch!!! I am hoping that it is TOTM or something and my weight loss will show up soon!! I will be in heaven if/when I get to 9st 12....single figures!!! I did LL about 10...

I really like the idea of doing this once I am finished with TS in the hopes that it will help me keep my weight stable! Good luck and let us know how it goes :)

Hi Constantstar-hope you are feeling better. I am a bit fed up just now. Have stuck to the diet 100%, lost 9lbs the first week but nothing at all this week! I am still sticking to it, hoping that it will show in a few days, but so disappointed! I have an Easter egg sitting there and I didn't...

Hi Constantstar, you are doing really well and you can definitely see a difference in those pictures. I weighed myself on Monday morning and I have now lost 9lbs (that is in a week after coming back to the diet). I am really chuffed with that and it has spurred me on. I was going to come off...

Hi, I am okay with the porridge I like the idea of something solid, but don't like the meals at all-so choc shakes, porridge and choc & orange bars for me! Was out shopping today with hubby and daughter and we went to costa for lunch-well they did-I stuck to my sparkling water and black coffee...

Hi Constantstar, Your posts are really good-I enjoy reading them-I am on my 3rd attempt at this and after another week 1 I have lost 7lbs so am pleased and in the right frame of mind again. I have a big birthday coming up and I am determined not to have to do this again!! Can I ask you a couple...

Hi there, Could I please join your thread. I am on day 1 again today. Lost a stone and a half very quickly last summer for my holiday but have managed to put it all back on and I am really annoyed with myself. I have been reading through this thread and it has really inspired me to stick at it...

Hi all, Thanks for your support MiniB and scotminx Struggling this weekend!! But not succumbed to breaking it yet! Have come on here for some inspiration while hubby watching the rugby!! What is your opinion of the new bars? Like the chocolate on as it is like a big Milky way but not sure about...

Not new, but have come back after a loss of a stone and a half quite easily before my summer holiday in August. Put some of it back on, especially over Xmas, but going to give it another go. I am on day 2. Good luck for tomorrow. x

Many thanks, Darcy and Katie. Day 2 and all good so far, thanks for your encouragement. x

I did the diet leading up to summer holiday last year and was really quite successful. Needles to say, after the holiday I didn't really get back on to it properly, although I did do my own version, so to speak! I haven't put everything back on but have put on enough to be quite annoyed at...

Well done Buttons, that is not too bad at all and has really inspired me for my holiday next week. I am not going to worry about coming off and try to be as sensible as I can. Well done again. xx

Yes smidge I am finding that too, also finding the summer hols (I am a teacher) and the nice weather is making it harder to stick to 100%. Not that I don't want to do it, just so many days out and other things happening. Last night I went out for a long time planned meal with a friend-I did eat...

11stone dead!! Getting into the 10s is proving harder than I thought. However, I did have a long weekend away at my sisters and had to come off TS so probably not as bad as it seems! xx

Hi, I have been doing this for weeks now and could not survive without my black coffee every day and I have lost weight every week. Might have a go at that hazelnut coffee, Valentine, sounds good!! :) xx

I am going on an all inclusive cruise so don't see me taking any shakes with me. My worry is that I might get ill with eating. I am not planning to go over the top and try to stick to salads and protein based meals and I am not a big drinker, but I will be eating with the family as I haven't...

Hi, smidge, same with me. Feel sooooo weak at the moment. Probably a combination of diet and heat but just feel like I need some sort of sugar boost. I actually feel dizzy first thing in the morning. Don't want to take time off but thinking I might need a couple of days to re-energise and then...

Yay!!! 11.01-am nearly there, hopefully over the next few days!! xx

I had a poor weight loss one week too, so I stopped weighing myself all the time. Now for me the best indication is in my clothes because I have obviously lost inches no matter what the scales say. I have gone from size 16 to size 12 in the same style of jeans. I now only weigh myself when I...

Hi again smidge, good luck getting to your 10s too and hopefully I will be there soon too! x

Hi there everyone, can I join your club, please? ;) I am in the 11s and weighed myself yesterday and was 11.04. I too would like to be in the 10s very soon! xx

It is funny you said that Buttons because that is exactly what I did today, hoping that it will give me the jolt I need. I haven't done the week off either but I thought one day wouldn't do too much harm and have kept it very sensible. In saying that, I didn't actually enjoy eating that much...

Yes, it is. But I would be sooooo disappointed if I was to break the diet and then put even a pound or 2 back on, so I am trying really hard not to let this get to me! A friend at work said to me today that she could really see how much weight I had lost, so I am holding on to that! xx

I agree with you, smidge, when I have felt like eating I have come on here with a big glass of sparkling water and before I know it, it is time for a bar or a shake and I am fine again! xx

Lardyla, I haven't been taking measurements but I do feel that my clothes are bigger on me so I am hoping that I have lost inches. Maybe I have just hit a plateau and it will pick up again? Thanks Lardyla and SkinnyBee, I will stick with it and knock down that wall!! xx

Hi, It is week 7 for me and I haven't lost anything this week :( I haven't come off the diet at all and am drinking 3+ litres of water a day. What am I doing wrong? Anyone else have this and any advice? I do feel like I have lost weight though! :rolleyes: Thanks xx

Yes, Buttons, me neither. It did keep me going today when everyone was eating ice cre ams!! Have just ordered the size 12 trousers in different colours to wear in a months time! :) xx

Hi there, just wanted to share a little success story today. I went out and bought a size 14 pair of chino style trousers-no elastane, no elasticated waist, no stretch of any kind-100% cotton and they are too big around the waist!!! I am so chuffed. I haven't been loosing as many pounds as some...

Good luck you two! I am on week 6 and it feels quite easy now! xx

Ok, thanks starlight, sorry I didn't realise!!

My husband says that the bad breath isn't there all the time, just now and again, so I wouldn't worry Venus :) xx

Thanks Eclipse, wonder why???

My post about my dilemma of going away with the children has just disappeared! Have I said something I shouldn't???:confused: xx

Thanks everyone-am glad to be back on TS but I have to say I have had a really bad headache today which I can't shift at all-I know it will be alright in a few days time but I feel rough at the moment-guess that's what happens when you come off!! xx

Okay! I am back now and back on TS. I tried to be as good as possible-had salad with all main meals instead of chips or potatoes. I had no puddings! I am not getting back on the scales until I have been back on TS for at least 3 days. I have surprised myself with how easily I got back on it...

Thanks kittyperry, to be honest I am dreading it because I really, really don't want to come off the diet having come this far. But I have just been packing and my size 14 jeans are too big :D and my size 12 fit :D-granted they do have stretch in them but before I started I was wearing size 16...

Thanks Snowboardette :) xx

Hi snowboardette-I go this Friday-have to be honest I am not looking forward to breaking the diet and am quite annoyed that this has been forced on me in a way. I have stuck to the diet religiously for the last 4 weeks and feel okay with it. Think I am worried that eating will set me back so...

Thanks everyone! I have also asked a friend at work to let me know when it is bad, and not to feel bad about doing it!! xx

Okay, thanks you two-like those ideas and an easy solution, will do both I think! ;) xx

Hi there, I have never had a problem with bad breath before (as far as I know!) and my husband has pointed out to me a couple of times this week that my breath is really quite strong I am assuming this is the diet-does anyone else have this and if so what do you do? I take it we are not allowed...

Thanks you too! I am really determined to do as little damage as possible. As for enjoying it, Chelly........I will try but a weekend with 30 excited, hyper children who are away from their parents and refuse to sleep at night! I am a glutton for punishment!! xx

Thanks BeeBeeSee and Chelly for your advice. I have been on this trip before and it is geared up for feeding kids, although they do now have to be healthy so there is always a full salad bar on offer. I will stick to that and push anything naughty around my plate (although we tell the children...

Okay :( thanks GemlaD

ooopps!! Typo-*dilemma* Mxx

Hi, I have to go on a weekend residential with 30 children from the school next Friday (21st). I will be away Friday to Sunday afternoon. Part of the experience is eating our meals together, pupils and teachers. Thing is I will be at the end of week 4-do you think it will be okay for me to eat...

Wow! That's brilliant well done Dan.

Yes, I feel the same- positive and determined! well done you and good luck for Monday! :)

Well done, you! I'm really pleased for you and it sounds like you have got your head around the weekend too! Great! I am on day 17 and feel really good about the diet at the moment. Keep going! x

I have lost 7lbs in the 2 weeks I have been doing this-it is not massive but it is better than I would have done on any other diet, I know this because I have done them all ;) I am staying off the scales and only going on once a week, but I do also know that I am loosing inches-I can feel it! It...

Don't give up JilabooB-it will be all worth it. Try not to worry at the moment about what you will feel after you have lost the weight. I think you should take each day as it comes and celebrate that you have got through another day successfully. Stop beating yourself up-no-one said it would be...

Oh hahaha! I imagined some sort of Big Brother thing where they are watching our every move!!! x

Yes, that is what it is-lemsip! Yuck!

Yep, Buttons, they don't comment on weight loss but they did once comment on a spot that appeared on my chin!! As you say little rugrats..........

Hahaha!! Lynne, I know what you mean-from the back only!

Hi, Just got a top up order in today and had ordered some favouring, it was soooooooo sweet I couldn't drink it. What do others do with this stuff? Any good ideas very welcome! Thanks xx

ChellyWellyBoot, Hi, what do you mean you are not allowed to order? Do they monitor your weight loss when you put in an order or something?

Hi JilabooB, Well done for getting through day 2. Do what you have to do to get through it! xx

Great! They sound good and like you are actually eating proper meals too!

BeeBeeSee that is so funny!! When I had Year 6 last year I was sitting at the table working with a group and the Head came in to speak to me and assumed I had gone out of the class because he couldn't see me surrounded by taller children!!! You do get used to the jibes after a while! :D xx

Wow! That is a change of career and I can imagine they would comment but at the moment I have 6/7 year olds, ever so cute and lovely kids but not very observant when it comes to the weight of their teacher!! I am not very tall-5.1and a half so some of the 11 year olds in school are taller than...

Thanks DeeDee! :) x

Hi Lynne, Wow they will all really notice a difference with you-it will make you feel great. I am Deputy Head in a primary school so not sure if the pupils will notice, little ones don't really do they? But I do have a lot to do with the parents so I am sure they will comment!! :) x

ChellyWellyBoot, it made me feel really good and it is that sort of thing that keeps you sticking to the diet, don't you think? Makes it all worth while xx

But smidge87 didn't you feel good for resisting it? I did and hey no-one is saying we can't ever have these things....just not for the moment! Well done you too! xx

Hi, I am much shorter than you so more to lose and I lost 5lbs in the first week and I had a meal out in the middle of it which I couldn't get out of. So you stick to it and you will be looking at over half a stone. Fingers crossed for you! xx

Stick with it, JilabooB, you will feel better soon xx

Hey JilabooB, Was thinking of you today and hoping you would get through the first day, well done! You will feel a bit woozy for the next 2 days but it does pass. I went through a spell of feeling like that last week, but today when the alarm went off ridiculously early I felt great and jumped...

Hey Dan, Good luck with your target and nice to see so many new people joining. I have only been doing this for less than 2 weeks and hearing from other new people really keeps me going. The success stories form the others are a brilliant source of encouragement and hope!

Hi everyone, I went back to work today after half term hols (I am a teacher) and 3 people asked me if I have been dieting because I look like I had lost some weight!!:D I was so pleased and it was just what I needed to hear because straight after that I walked into the staffroom to find...

Hi, I am going on a cruise in August to the Mediterranean, I so do not want to be walking around the ship covered up or when we go off sight-seeing. I am going with my hubbie and 2 teenage daughters who all look fine, I want to look like that too!! I have also bought some trousers in a size 12...

Hi there JilabooB, I have ben on this for just over a week-will be 2 on Wednesday-I have lost 6lbs but haven't weighed myself since Friday and am going to wait until Wednesday now. I think you can do 2 stones in 2 months. I also did LL many moons ago and lost 5 st in 6months and this diet is...

Hi there, Was chatting to a friend today telling her about the diet and she was saying that with Cambridge diet you are not allowed to stay on 3 packs only when your BMI gets to 25. She wasn't really clear about why but thought it wasn't good for you to do so. Has anyone else heard this? If so...

My face has started to come out in little spots on my cheeks and nose, very small and red but they look like some sort of rash. So this is common and will pass?

Hi Motgirl, I started just over a week go-will be 2 weeks on Wednesday-and I have lost 6lbs. Welcome to the forum and good luck with the diet :)

Thanks everyone. I feel so much better today, no more sickness and am back on packs. I have lost 5lbs in my first week so am really chuffed with that. It is really great to have this forum and the support from people on here, it is really spurring me on. Many thanks again xx

Hey there, First of all many thanks to those who replied to my previous post about feeling weak-I really appreciate it. However, I think I have a tummy bug and hopefully the weakness was due to that and not the diet. I was sick twice on Tuesday night and then 3 times this morning. I haven't had...

I woke up this morning feeling awful. I am on my 6th day (4th without breaking it-I had a blip last Friday!). I had and still do, a thumping headache but my arms and legs felt like jelly. I took my daughter clothes shopping this afternoon and had to give up after an hour. Is this normal? I have...

Becky, I am glad my experience helped you, we must stay strong! :) Today my house is spotless from top to bottom and I have started a new half term book (I am a teacher!) all to avoid eating. On lovely sunny days like this rather than thinking of BBQs and drinking think about the lovely summer...

Thank you! :)

Many thanks to all 3 of you for replying. I have had a good day today, kept myself very busy and still have a bar to have later!! Appreciate you taking the time to reassure me :)

This is a longish story! Last night I went out for a joint birthday meal with some female friends. It was my day 3 and I have had no problems with the diet so far. This meal had been organised months ago, but because I didn't want to have to explain myself to my normal sized friends who don't...

Hi BijouHope, I bought a month of porridge, chocolate shakes and raisin bars (chocolate orange bars were all sold out!!:cry: I bought these based on what I liked from other similar diets-LL and Cambridge-I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the porridge this morning. I had the...

Hi there. I have started Exante diet today. Have been on every diet under the sun and have decided that this is going to be the last one! Please re-assure me that this diet is going to work!! Have been really inspired by some of the comments on here so fingers crossed. xx
