Fantastic news Jeanette, pleased for you :) another milestone reached in your journey! It's 16 pounds down now in three weeks for myself. I've reached the stage where I'm sick of the shakes and I can't finish a full glass because it turns my stomach and I can't look at the banana or strawberry...

How's everyone doing today? Well, just over two weeks in and 13 pounds down and happily crept into the 12 stone bracket (by the skin of my teeth) been a bit down about the plan over the last week. Due to being busy at work, I was lucky to manage 2 or 3 shakes a day at a push and the scales...

Ps will deffo try the bouillon cheers

Cheers Jeanette and Martine :) glad you're both having a good day. First test will be night shift tonight and avoiding the bright lights of 24 hour tesco and junk food! :)

Hope everyone's getting on okay. It's been a trying first week but worth it as I've lost 9 lbs which I'm chuffed with. Although I'm meant to be on 4 packs a day alone, I have given in at times and had pieces of chicken. Also finding that hot bovril or oxo cubes Are keeping me going, although I...

Cheers for the welcome and the advice, I'm hitting the black tea to keep me going! And I've decided to switch come dine with me off lol. back in work tomorrow so hopefully be a welcome distraction :) I'm from anglesey xx

Hi everyone! I'm on day 2 of shake that weight going for the total food replacement. I've previously done lighter life and lost 6 stones but unfortunately gained a couple in the last year or so. I forgot how difficult it is before you get into ketosis, yesterday was okay but I'm struggling to...

hey all, any idea when the glycogen weight gain hits? i'm on week 7 rtm and lost each week so far but getting more nervous each week also as i'm anticipating the big gain anyday lol! any advice from those who've completed rtm? ta very much, del x

hey, i know exactly what you mean. i don't feel 'deprived' at all that i'm not allowed to eat things like bread/cheese etc, to be honest i'm not particularly bothered. it's just nice to put a little thought into my meals and really enjoy it. my fave recipe has to be the tzatziki- natural/greek...

that is wicked! best wishes with RTM, you should be very proud of yourself =) del x

I feel your pain here. It's a bloody hideous feeling when you know you're backed up isn't it. I took senakot also and to be honest it didn't do much difference, my LLC recommended lactulose to *ahem*soften things up and im pretty sure that's meant to aid constipation also (added benefit of...

Awww thanks hun- ditto to you too!! I was thinking last Monday night how different everyone looks in our group, and the confidence just radiates out of you now, rightly so as you're looking great =) Yup, the decision was made and it was definitely right for me, lot more upbeat this week and...

Thank you both for your advice, I really appreciate the help. Also, apologies for the very late reply- been uber busy between work and my birthday (my very first sober one in years-was a suprisingly good night nonetheless). I'm gona definitely check out those websites, any portion/calorie...

aloha, I've just started RTM and day two is pretty much done by now I'd say. Got extremely mixed feelings at the moment, on the one hand the first bite into my chicken yesterday was just divine- really savoured the taste, while my Mum laughed at me closing my eyes making dreamy noises lol...

Thank you all for your advice and congratulations to all of you on your brilliant losses. It really helps to know that other people are in the same boat as this journey can feel quite isolating at times. Got my WI tomorrow night, will chat to the LLC but I'm more or less sure now that RTM is my...

Hi, I haven't posted on here much but I have been 'lurking' on the forum since I started LL in January and I've been overwhelmed by how much everyone has helped each other out on here. I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands at the moment and having spoken to my family, who are quite...

Hi, sorry to crash in on your thread but I have a similar question for other LL's... had a fair amount of bowel problems since starting and was recommended by my LLC to use lactulose. Got hold of some and I'm a bit worried about what is actually in it as it tastes fairly sweet. Similar to...

mmm tis a bit hit and miss with the microwave timing but i've always been partial to burnt tasting food so i scrape it all on a spoon lol! nope, no kids, funnily enough though a few of the women there started reminiscing about their midwives and tales from the labour ward...all that to look...

Hey there! thank you all for the kind welcome! week 4's going well so far, been living on microwaved veg soup which just tastes like a gorrrrgeous biscuit. just been to pilates too, having spent an hour trying to 'engage with my pelvic floor' i've decided that i've no idea what the hell they're...

Hey there! thanks for that, lovely to see you too :) going well so far but a depressingly large sack of foodpacks, roll on sunday night lol. hope things are going well for you too and I'm sure you'll be seeing much more of me on here now take care, del x

Hi all =) Having heard quite a bit about MiniMins in the meetings, I thought I'd better check it out for myself! just started week four now and gotten into the swing of things, though still find myself gazing longingly towards particular foods and at particular times! anyhoo, keep up the good...
