Hey, I've had two really bad weeks - one with just a measly pound lost (that was bad enough) :mad: and then TOTM I actually GAINED 2lb :break_diet: . I really was ready to give up. Oh, and I only lost 7lb in my first week. Losses are still losses and count to the overall total however. The...

:whistle: They never warned us about the great knicker debate, did they? I can't see how cheesewires can ever be comfy! Personally, I'm looking forward to a ritual bra burning in the future. I've been burdened with 36Fs for too long - but I've noticed that my cup runneth a little less over...

My new job is taking me to Gib next week. Realistically, I know that I cannot do LT whilst there - it will be too much. I know we will be going out to eat in the evenings and whilst I do not mind doning LT at home, I don't want to do it with my new boss somewhere abroad. As a compromise I hve...

That's hard :( but I find that the smell is as if I had eaten it (without the calories or weight). They've had some fantastic french all butter biscuits at work all week. My resolve has been so sorely tested - but I have found if I had a good smell of them, that's enough. Good idea about a...

Please start the diet;) - if you do stick to it it is guaranteed to work. And you will get where you want to be. As I've explained to people - yes it is extreme BUT you have to try something different to get a different result. And most of us have tried and failed other ways of losing weight...

Jan - I'd like to see LT do a little more variety. What about a vegetable soup for example (yes veg. protein does exist guys)? It would be horrible for a vegetarian who hadn't eaten meat for years to not have a savoury option. I also think that the flapjacks are horrible - I took my second one...

I started a new job two weeks ago and have breakfast and lunch at work - two shakes. Everyone has been really positive and amazed at the amount of sacrifice involved. I also tell them I've lost nearly 2 stone in weight too. That sounds good to me too! :thankyouthankyou: I haven't seen many of my...

I agree: the site is fantastic - we're all on the same journey and you can bet that someone will experience the same things you do and offer support when you need it to keep you on the right track! Unfortunately I have to travel a lot for my job which makes doing the diet even harder - yet even...

Getting used to the sparkly water thing! But had a few bar staff putting in the lemon/lime when I've expressly asked for none! Tsk. Makes it all the harder. GRRRR :mad: Remember to act tipsy so everyone asks what you're on! Have a good time.

I'm jealous too Well done Kellymarie. I'm halfway now - just 2 st more to go - which I reckon is another 7 weeks on LT!

Ditto everyone's posts here. LT requires willpower to start but is far less invasive than the surgical option - and after W2 you really do go on autopilot. I'm finding that I really don't mind black tea now - which is unbelievable!

Cheers hun. Bag will be empty on the way back so I'll be able to browse some of those lovely shops too - double whammy!

Sorry guys, am I missing something here? Hot chocolate? -isn't that just hot water, do you need to nuke it? BTW I've even done hot vanilla and hot strawberry - forgot it wasn't choc and poured hot water on it, doh :tomato: Wasn't that bad and was a little more variety!!! On another note, just...

What a great true story! I wish I'd been there ... Just remember those faces and you'll have so much confidence to do anything! I'm so pleased for you :happy096:- can't wait to be in the same boat with all the other Lipotrimmers!!!!

Hi Lou - back to the UK. I'm no crapaud, but I've been here about 9 years and have a Jersey passport wielding bf so I'm getting there! I haven't seen them for over 5 months (life's got in the way, job's been horrifically busy and getting off the rock has been extortionate). I get really guilty...

Great thread guys. Pharmacist was a little perturbed when I said I'd like to get to 10st - he thought that 10'6 was more realistic. Hmm. Well back in my late teens I was that weight so I know I can sustain it - boobies (yup about a stone each presently too :argh:), 5'4 and size 6 feet willing...

Great loss - keep it coming!:D

Anyone got any coping strategies on doing LT with family who won't understand? I'm visiting my parents this week (I have to hop islands so I don't see them often enough :wave_cry:). I've always have food problems when I visit (though this time I will have sachet supplies - 2wks worth weighed a...

Well done - I'm on the 18lb loss in 3 weeks too! Mind you, I only lost a poxy pound last week. Could do without the lows and highs - constant would be better but I'm not knocking it! Funny how the stretchy clothes don't seem to register it yet ... Well done you!

Congrats on your new job - hope you're looking forward to starting anew. It's a tough market out there at the moment and well done you for beating the current market.:D I was made redundant on 30 April and I'm currently waiting for my references to be checked on my job offer. Fingers crossed...

Kezza - keep going! Just started W4- had my W3 weigh in today. Was feeling really quite dejected as I only lost 1lb W2 last week and W1 I only lost 7lb. So although it was a loss, I was going to give it all up if I got a poxy pound loss today! Well, lost 10lb W3 so needless to say I'm...

Mike - found some great teabags at the health food shop last weekend. They're in a little square box of 10 bags - "Puritee" by Ideal Health. They are senna leaf, peppermint leaf, birch leaves and stinging nettle - so only leaf and fit into LT perfectly. Taste like a weird peppermint. Best thing...

Well done you Kezza! I'm 11 days in on LT and I have been preparing my OH's meals most days. I've got an upper hand though as he eats meat and I don't generally so I wasn't tempted. It was the fresh oranges nearly had me cave in. Hey, we're all different!! Keep strong, and remember you've done...

Some of you, may remember my first posts. I was made redundant and was waiting for my last day. For me, I think my weight has a lot to do with my self-esteem and obviously being told you are surplus to requirements job-wise doesn't help - especially after 8 years! So I was feeling a little low...

Maybe I'll have a look in the health food shop. They do protein shakes there so maybe they have the shakers? God, I wish we had a Tescos here in Jersey - seems you can get everything there. Must be hard walking through all the other aisles though ...

So, now you know how determined I am: I've been eating lumpy LT for 11 days! Have to look out for a blender - we don't have Argos or Tesco in Jersey so I'll probably end up paying £18 for mine ... unless I go to ebay or internet (and then I have to wait). I'm hitting the shops this weekend I...

Cool! Something the guys don't have to factor in, heheheh. Let's try for our first stone off next weigh-in. :cross:

Great mini - I think I'll get me one of those this weekend. I've secretly been doing LT at work with breakfast at 10.45 and lunch at c.2pm. Can't really use a blender there though, so guess I'll have to have 1 smooth out of 3!!! Why don't they think about these things though - we can't all be...

Guys. Half way through W2 and I still can't get rid of the lumps. Do LT make it that way so you have to chew and eat them with a spoon (if so, that's evil :rant2:). I have tried everything. It seems to happen all flavours with both hot and cold water too. I've tried my arsenal of kitchen kit on...

Hi Leanbean You and me must be buddies ... My start weight was 13'10. Just done W1 (and yes I did find it hard) and lost (what I thought was) a measly 7lb:sigh:. I was really hoping for a double digit loss ... And yes, I was drinking all the water too, or leaf tea in my case. My only thought is...

I know how you feel. Goin' on hols in a few days, so will be starting LT when I come back. This week I've been trying to be good, taking slimfasts for (most) brekkies and lunch at work and think there's been a slight difference. I think you just need to bite the bullet and do it - and remember...

Cheers Em - promised myself one final sorbet in south of France then I'll be on the wagon for sure! :D T, x

Pah! Some people ... sounds like an opportunity to invite the girls round and have an alternative night in to me. T, x

Hi there Louize! Looking forward to getting to know everyone on this journey. Mad how the weight just creeps on - it's like you wake up fat one day and wonder how you got there. Must be the Pinot Grigio ... I know this is going to be a mountain-like challenge (other half is c.19 stone and not on...

Been reading the site today (:happy096: everybody, think I am nearly ready to start now). Delayed start as had birthday yesterday and am going to France in a week - so being realistic and saying to self "will be (quite) good on hols and then start in earnest when I get back. Have tried Atkins...
