    Really? I always thought it was LL law to drink 4 litres, when did it change? would stop me going like a racehorse every half hour.

    O/T: Is getting pregnant the new national passtime????

    I work in benefits and see it day in day out, on the front line. I could write pages about all the ways the welfare system in this country is totally abused, how theiving scumbags benefit from a life on the scrounge while honest hard working people struggle and work their asses off for every penny.

    Here as I am...

    Its simple - you stick to the plan, whether you include a bar or not, you're gonna lose loads of weight in a very short space of time, it works, you need discipline and a lot of willpower, it comes down to how much you need/want it. Good luck.

    Hi BL and others, I've taken on board the comments here and decided to go into RTM in 2 weeks. I have a lot more to lose but I guess this way if I start earlier I still get the benefits of the diet and it is cheaper. Regarding the money, I've meticulously gone over the finances and with a...

    Day One

    The first week was very hard for me, then I got into ketosis and it was fine, I think pop ins are definitely a good idea, it gave me the motivation to carry on seeing how much i'd lost midweek.plus your first week figure should be massive!
  46. bigboy77

    Men. Weight stats please.

    I started Feb 10, lost 13.5lb in the first week and on average have lost 4-6 lb p/week from there on, in just over 3 months I've lost 5 stone all but 1 pound. The results are amazing.
  48. bigboy77

    Love LL, the excitement continues

    I tried on a watch back in early Feb just before starting LL and it didn't fit, was really gutted but tried it on again 2 weeks ago and it fit - was slightly too big if anything plus my wedding ring is now on my chain as it got too big ages ago!!

    so sad I cheated (food talk)

    Put it to the back of your mind and move on, seems simple but its the only advice i can give, the sooner you get back on the 4 a day, the sooner you'll get back in ketosis and the weight start to fall off again!
  76. bigboy77

    I can really appreciate what you're saying, when I was younger I used to run 3 times a week, probably a mile and a half at a time.

    IBS?

    Anyone else got a partner that smells?!

    I'm another one who feels their sense of smell has become much stronger, but I actually quite like it, getting wafts of food that people are eating, perhaps weirder still is that I really like the smell of cigarettes lately, I gave up 5 years ago!

    Feb 09 Starters!

    Just had my week 2 weigh in and I lost 7.7lbs so that makes 21lbs in total, so basically a stone and a half in 2 weeks. I'm really pleased with that, some guy in my session said I looked thinner in the face too. It's all good!!

    Feeling nervous

    I hear what you're saying. For me its just got to a crucial stage in my life where I HAVE to do something. I see it as drastic situations cause for drastic measures. In my mind its a battle because I want to have food and take the easy way out but then I think there's so much more positive...

    I also got over excited and in one particular enthusiastic attempt to floor my brother with a right hook I accidentally smashed the clock off the mantlepiece. Dangerous!

    Wii is lethal, I played boxing on it and put my arm out for 3 days afterwards, could hardly move it. Fun though.....

    Feb 09 Starters!

    The last 2 nights have been torture for me, I don't think I've been hungrier in my entire life, I felt sick I was so hungy,l ended up going to bed at 9.00pm thursday because I couldn't take any more and it wasn't through lack of water as I had drunk more than 5 litres throughout the day. Friday...

    first day on LL

    Hi. I've done just over a week now and like poppy I've had a few bad headaches, I felt like giving up, but have persevered and the cravings and headaches have gradually subsided and feel really good now. Lost 13lbs the first week and enjoying life again for the first time in ages. I cannot...

    Flavours please

    I like the pepperoni pizza flavour soup, thats my favourite....no, sorry, just dreaming there...mushroom on the soups and hot chocolate shake are my faves.

    Well done pollyy, great loss. I started on the 10th Feb too so had my first weeks weigh in and I lost 13lbs. Really chuffed with that!

    Feb 09 Starters!

    I totally agree about the scales, when i lost 4 stone 2 years ago i became obsessed, weighing myself twice a day which was ridiculous. Your body's weight fluctuates wildly throughout the day so i was disappointed to have "put on" 3 pounds when weighing myself in the evening. My wife had to...

    Well, my first day is drawing to a close and I feel like I've achieved something already albeit something small. The shakes and soups taste better than what i expected, obviously I haven't tried them all, but what I've had so far (shakes - strawberry, chocolate, soups - mushrooms and chili) have...

    Cheers Huseyin. Its great to know that from today I should be getting smaller and losing weight, I've heard the first 3 days are the hardest and then it gets easier.

    Starting LLL ....

    I'm should be getting my packs tomorrow, so my first day of abstinence will be Wednesday, must admit I'm pretty apprehensive about how I'm going to cope with no food, but the joyous feeling of losing the weight and all the benefits that brings is quite exciting to think about too.

    Great post and well done mate. My beginning weight is similar to yours so I know exactly where you were coming from with the negative feelings you initiallly felt. I'm starting this wednesday and am really looking forward to it. Just hope I have half as much success as you. btw, the webcam...

    Snow - again!

    Thats the thing, despite there being no london transport and the cars snowed in, the scrooges out our place said we would have to make up the time, even though it was physically impossible to get in!

    I think its a case of me being one of the very unlucky ones! I really don't know why they're taking such a negative view about it all. I'm taking a proactive approach to battle my problem with weight and instead of encouarging me they seem to be putting obstacles in the way. God bless the...

    Now shop clothes are too big!!

    When I finally get started this is one of the things I am looking forward to most - going into a normal shop and buying clothes of the rack. Its been a long time, I'm sick of going to Cotton Traders and High Mighty paying extortionate prices!

    Where to get Free Blood Pressure Checks

    My doctors charge, which is bad enough but they deem it as non-nhs procedure so want to charge me a private patient rate of 30 quid a time.

    I'm hopefully gonna be starting on Wednesday, in Carshalton if i can the health questionnaire done in time.
