I made the same decision and am on my 10th day of Cambridge and I have found compared to LT it feels so much less restrictive even though I am SS. Losses are still the same and there is so much choice. It was the tetras which was the real decider for me as it makes my life soooo much easier. Its...

Mine skin in general is a bit dryer so could be? Well done on your loss and how lovely to be at goal for your wedding. i hope all your plans are going well x

I'm not an expert but I do spread mine out - one at 7:30 next 3:30 last about 8:30. I suppose the only way to find out is to try a week with them spaced out during the day, although it sounds like you are due a big loss next WI in anyway so may not be true comparison. So I am no help whatsoever...

YIPPPEEEEEE Well done you! You're now back on track keep going you know you can do it x:)

Well done you that's a brilliant loss. Must have been all the internal fat hehe

Well not long got back from meeting my lovely CDC we will be friends by the end of it I'm sure. Cannot believe all the flavours and have got 7 Chocolate Tetras so hopeI love them as much as you Sarett and Watergirl haha. Oh and I have lost 4lb on my 3rd week so thats my first stone gone...

What DVD you gonna watch?

GHD's are the best I've had mine 51/2 + years and they are used most days. I also the dark pink ones as was scared one day they would stop working when my daughter was half way through straightening her curls (plus really needed to have some pink one hehe).

Well done on sorting your CDC, use this week to start upping your water intake and cutting right down on the carbs and you will be well on your way x:)

It wasnt your greed it was temptation and thats really hard to deal with. Might be worth asking you husband not to bring the temptation home for now as it can be so hard to keep going. Well done you for getting straight back to it.

Hi all I am swapping to Cambridge tomorrow. I am finding making the shakes up is a little difficult at times e.g. I was in London all day Saturday and I purchased a battery operated blender and took my shakes with me but just didnt have an opportunity to make one. Ended up on water all day and...

Good for you - Great news. You are in control again and you know you can do it.

I always use boiling water and whisk in blender. Also I would be concerned about lumps if did it in microwave. You could always just heat the water in the microwave and then add the shake?

Good old mum - made me laugh out loud. She obviously loves you very much. My friend is on LL and is going to swap to LT as its cheaper and also she said she doesnt want all the meeting stuff - she said she is not doing it to make friends she just wants to loose the weight. This site has all the...

Hey Pretty Lady Well done you! To have been so positive and got the job is a credit to your strenght of character after feeling so low. All the best with it and enjoy the training. You could just say you have special dietary requirments and need to make up a vitamin drink??

That's so lovely to hear Justin your family must have loved to see you looking so happy and healthy. A reward for all your hard work and an inspiration and encouragement to us all x

I have my hair coloured and continued to do so. There's no way I'm giving that up!!!

My pharmacist told me they have to give me an LT bag every week. I take my previous one with me now to save having another one each week.

Just gorgeous all of them. You lucky thing x

You have to be able to reach the letter box

Definately and I love high heels and have noticed some if my toe pinchers are now fine.

Hilarious and easier to do now we are slimmer.

I am with you on this completly and have a mum who I know would find it very hard to keep her mouth shut. I would NEVER divulge something someone told me if asked not to and really struggle with trusting others. To me this diet is an very private thing and I have only told my closest friends and...

I did LT for 3 months until Dec 2007 and my hair started falling out once I had finished. I have lots of fine hair and it is long and it was everywhere, my pillow would be covered and I wash it every day and loads came out. I was concerned but it all grew back and is fine again now.

Hi Kelly Welcome aboard the weight loss flight. The shakes are fine with ice and cold water especially if you have a blender. You can also add a sweetner (tablet form) and they are just like a regular milkshake. I am now hooked on the chocolate one hot with a couple of sweetners. The soup...

Definately the Civil Service if it was up to me. Why dont you do a list of fors and against. As for the exercise commit to gym or exercise plan for a couple of those evenings or weekends.

Thanks for sharing you are where I want to and will be and its a reminder why I am doing this. Well done Normal You!!!:wow::talk017::wow:

Havent noticed bruises but my feet are usually freeeezing. They are cold at the best of times but can hardly feel them these days. I keep putting the car heater on them much to my daughter's horror.

:happy096: Sharon A curvy size 14 - just perfect. You must feel and look fabulous x

We are worth every penny xxx

Your pictures are amazing you are a completely different person - WOW WOW WOW

Thats a brilliant loss and beats my two weeks. Well done. Keep going.

I would think it is always best to do proper refeed for at least couple of weeks. Book sounds interesting let us know how it goes.

Well done binger thats fantastic. Enjoy your refeed and think of a more apt user name like slim and loving it !

Fingers legs arms all crossed for ya!!

Thats a fantastic loss. Keep posting as we are all helping each other through this experience.

This diet really does work and I would encourage you to give it a try. Even if you go for the band you will still be required to loose some weight prior to surgery so why not try this. It's only my personal opinion but how about trying it for a month and see. You might end up feeling you can do...

Ditto what has already been said. This site cna make the difference between success and failure. I need it to keep going. At work today I found it a bit hard and as I poured myself another glass of sparkling water I just thought of all my minimins friends who were doing the same and I got...

Well done with the 6lbs - bit of a bummer with the meds but thanks for sharing as so easy to take without even thinkin about it. I hope you sinuses are better now as that sooo painful. Sleep well Im off to bed now too. Got a gorgeous husband waiting for me hehe

You made me laugh out loud thats so funny. I have no intention of going there. Had one once no thats a lie attempted one once as went to Bicester village with the family and ended up with a couple of nibbles and going without. YUK you are a hero hehe

It really does help to know others understand. I told my pharmacist about it today and asked her to pass on the details to all her other peeps especially those who might be struggling.

Ditto what summergurl has said.

Hi Ive lost 10lbs in two weeks so you are still ahead of me. The PCOS may have an affect however it will even out. Some have had two low weeks and then a massive one the follwing one. Dont give in so early as you will miss out on your huge loss! Even if you were eating healthily you would not...

FANTASTIC well done and curves are gorgeous much preferred by the guys too. Enjoy your refeed x

WOW interesting job and lots of hard work. Respect to you I work in a support role for the police and admire you all. Also put in a small cool bag with and ice pack.

Well done thats a great result. We are similar I just had second WI - 4lbs so 10 in total and now weigh 12st 10.

I did that for years and is definatley a good way to work it. Although the long days are exhausting the whole days off with your little man will more than make up for it.

Well done for resisting - the feeling you will have knowing you did is more powerful than the enjoyment of the food. Keep thinking about your holiday and each week you succeed buy something to take with you - it doesnt have to be expensive a bangle or sarong. Keep going you know it works...

That makes life difficult how about putting bottles of water in the freezer at home and then they can defrost while you are on your shift and hopefully will still be cold when you make up a shake. Definately try to have extra shakes with you. Are you a police officer or medic?

You have done really well 12lbs in two weeks. I have lost 10lbs in 13 days and have not cheated once! 2 more pounds and its yur first stone.

Thanks Bev I am going to finish my glass of water then off to Next.

I know thats the best bit about this diet you know clothes WILL fit very soon. Thanks for the support.

Hi all just had my second WI a day earlier as I wanted to change my days and have lost 4lbs. So 10lbs in 13 days YIPPPPEEEEEE! And now in the 12st's. My size 16 petite Next trousers are baggy. Gonna buy some more today although think 14 will be too tight to wear in public haha. Keep going...

22lbs in three week is amazing weight loss. Well done x

That's fantastic. I have noticed my trousers are a bit looser today YIPPEE!

You must be exhausted - you are a good mum being so organised. How was the return to work and why did you finish so late? Have a wonderful nights sleep and I am so jealous of your salad - I love it and eat loads.

This is so funny. I had a food dream last night too - my first one. When I woke up I thought I had devoured a whole french stick with cheese, and I was eating with the worst table manners ever, I was disgusting. I just wish I had tasted it in my dreams as could plan another for tonight hehe.

It did LT for 3 months end of 2007 and my hair fell out big time afterwards. I have loads of fine hair like you and its long so looked like even more was coming out and it wasnt fun I could roll the hair into a golf ball size everyday for a long time. It is growing back as before now and I feel...

:cool: hehe

You made me laugh out loud thats so funny. I remember trying it last time and dont think I liked. I'm loving hot chocolate and for some reason just hadnt thought of it last time. Im going to WI tomorrow - a day early as I want to change my day also going to swap all the soups -YUK I quite liked...

Good question. Well done you could so easily have given up. Lets crack open a magnum of fizzy water to celebrate x

Thanks I will set it to record x

You poor thing it's no fun being cold. I'll tell you some things that are fun: Being on a beach knowing your bum does not look big. Buying lovely new clothes for your holiday. Someone whose opinion you value saying 'you look amazing'. Actually someone whose opinion you dont value or...

Well done for taking the first steps to being a happy healthy slim you x

Please tell her that you have a whole bunch of friends who want to say Thanks to her for being so considerate giving up a day in the middle of her annual leave. I also think you should get some legal advise maybe call Citizens Advice as this cannot be right. Do some research on emploment law...

Over half a stone thats brilliant. Well done you x

Fantastic well done what a great reward for all your hard work. I am due for 2nd WI Thursday but I think I shall change to Wednesday as its my day off. I let you know how I get on.

Hi size 12 Floridagirl Thank you for those encouraging and supportive words. Well done on your size 12 thats my goal too and I know I will be there before the summer comes. Leanbeanx

Hi Debs I am on LT for the second time although I have maintaned my weight. I have found it easier this time around as I know what it's like! I also know how fast my losses will be and every week I have something to try on that didnt fit the week before and if it is still too tight I just think...

Oh I wish I could suprise my parents like that it will be so cool. Keep going we want to hear how they reacted! Glad you are feeling good today and you sound so positive as you know the 3st is an achievable goal.

Hi Lovely one You've never been slim eh well this year you will be if you stick to the plan and continue coming on here for support and understanding. I am sorry about your heartbreak however, if he doesnt want you now he does not deserve to have you when you are slim honey, OH NO theres gonna...

Hi Kerry I am no expert although I did LT for 3 months in 2007 and have not regained the weight. If it was me I would say YES to a refeed as you will be at home and in control of the food and also yourself, then you can plan your holiday menus to make healthy choices like you said and get...

Hi Caz72 Well done you made it through the first week which is challenging without any other issues. Sinusitis is horrid you have all my sympathy and depression is a real toughie so congratulations for getting through this week. If you can make with those things to cope with you can do this...

I think you are being too hard on yourself that was a amazing loss and now you are back to finish it. Keep going you know you can do it x

Size 12 how lovely - after all the hard work here is your reward x

Thats a fab weight loss in just two weeks well done.

Have a good night out and remember we will all be here ready to pour out the praise for having drunk you water and resisted.

Keep waving - its exercise!!

Hi Natters Well done for getting this far it really does get easier and this forum is important for support and understanding. It can feel lonely when others are eating and carrying on as normal when we are struggling so just read through the posts it really does help. leanbean x

Have fun and laugh your heart off x

What a pretty wedding and as for the chicks whit whoo! I love the colour of the bridemaids dresses. Is was such a lovely day too. Thanks for sharing them x

Rain oh no I'm sorry we have glorious sunshine here it didnt occur to me that it wasn't evertwhere. Drop HUGE hints to hubby and tell him he doesnt have to stop at one eg you can have matching bag and shoes haha

Well done It would have been easy to have given up with all that - so all credit to you for not allowing their incompetence to stop you achieving your goal.

Foods no good as a treat as its gone before you know it so here's some suggestions Expensive bubble bath Bottle of perfume Hangbag Shoes Bunch of flowers or a walk in the sunshine with head held high swinging super small hips hehe

Hi Jo Well done thats amazing and you have stayed in LT depsite all that heartache and stress the things thats drive us to food! I am so pleased you have been rewarded for all your hard work with those compliments. Keep it up and make that man regret ever leaving xx

Well done binger thats so encouraging for all of us. You are so close to your goal I think you should treat yourself to something new as a reward! Leanbeanx:D

Yippee you are nearly at the half way mark. Well done you Leanbeanx

We are on the same journey as same week of the month for me too I didnt take that into account. Thanks for the support I will definately let you all know what happens - it would be rude not too as I read all yours haha

Electric blenders are great no lumps and crushed ice. Also feels like you are preparing something haha. As for lumps thay would make me gag YUK.

Well said Tanya. LOL re your mood that was funny. As regards the job I think it is disgusing, do you belong to a union as they will certainly want to hear about being refused leave to take an exam. I was shocked to see how long you have worked there too, I would expect a temp to be given the...

Well done thats so positive.

Thanks for the support louizekj You have done really well I am especially impressed with the loss when you were on holiday!

Had first weigh in today and have lost 6lbs. I was a bit disappointed as have done everything according to plan and drank at least 4 litres of water every day. I am ashamed :ashamed0005: to say I nearly didnt post as others first week losses are often so much higher. Then I started reading the...

Aaron is there a reason you take the female rather then male?

Hi Aaron Well done, you must feel great. I bet you have been getting lots of well deserved compliments. :party0049: leanbean x

Hey Summergurl That's really professional what a lovely gift for Ange, thanks for showing us your hard work! Hope she enjoys it and shares it around with others. Thing is we dont need cake as we are all thinking of our goals and cakes will still be there when we have reached them - we might...

Have to say you have all made me laugh tonight with this one. Thanks! Leanbean

Well done you daveg, your clothes must be baggy! Keep up the good work mate :D Leanbean x

My name doesnt describe me - but it will!! Have a good sleep speak soon x

Ah dont dwell on it you will only make yourself feel worse and you have already proved to yourself that you can do it. Keep going we are all on your side :talk017:- see here we are! Have a glass of water, a good nights sleep (not too many wee interruptions hehe) and back to the programme...

Hi Binger 9lbs was great and you already feel good so keep going - the desire to eat will pass and you will feel so good that you didnt give in. Have a lovely swim put lots of body lotion on and then off to bed. :4635: Leanbeanx

Hi Have the same problem myself - fibreclear never made any difference to me. I have to use a laxative and even then its still not plain sailing! You wont need to go as often as course as you are not taking so much into your body. Make sure you have plenty of water too as it helps.

:happy096:WOW WOW and more WOW. Thats soooo fantastic you have done so well. HUGE pat on the back! Leanbeanxxx

Hey Emma Stop the negative stuff you are so not a disaster - its life and its how you deal with it that counts. The fact that you came on here to tell us all shows you are doing the right thing - asking for support from people who understand. This is not an easy thing to do, learn from it -...

:DPricey you did so well not to eat with that emotional stress - that is a real achievement. As for that nasty piece of work I think there may have been a green eyed monster inside her - you started your thread by saying that you husband and mum said how nice you looked - she obviously saw...
