Hi all, day 1 for me too. I'm doing working solution but hoping to do as many days as I can manage of total (using the theory that its better to plan to do WS and have a bonus TS day than to plan to do TS and have a "failure" of a WS day). So, my goal is for the next 4 weeks and its to stick to...

hi skupio - day 1 for me too. I had the shepherds pie. Looked disgusting but was surprisingly edible and extremely filling. Still got to try the risotto....

Honk - day 1 :)

Hi there, I'm in a very similar situation, although I've done the diet before. Good luck for your journey and keep us updated as to how you get on! Jo

Well 3 days of full TS - hooraay. But been really struggling with the water for some reason. Hoping for a good weekend ready for my WI on Monday. Been invited to a BBQ tonight though, not sure I'm strong enough to go and not eat so might not go. See how I feel later on in the day!

Hi all, very pleased to be the newest member of this team! Sorry that I might not be able to contribute too much this week as I ate on Valentine's day.... WI in Monday. babystar (thurs WI) Madzbabe Lozoo Scotminx MsJMC SammyE Terri22 (Sat am) Angie bum Starlight Shona 1968 (Mon WI) Chobe (Mon WI)

Hi Scotminx, Well done for getting so far and for managing to make a good choice on the food. It does get easier - the weak feeling passes once your in ketosis; the hunger goes too (try drinking more water if your feeling hungry) but the metallic taste does get stronger and doesn't go in my...

I got something similar when I first start behind one of my ears. I wasn't sure if it was diet related or connected to a bite I had there as someone had told that if your bitten by a spider rather than a mosquito which I had assumed this was, you get a rash of little spots around the main bite...

Me too - I missed this thread to and feel very left out now! Team 4 anyone?

Face, shoulders and "upper" belly for me! Last time I did LL I ended up 3 sizes smaller on top than on the bottom, because even though I'd lost loads of weight hardly an inch went off my thighs! Pleasingly my boobs didn't shrink as much as they have done on other diets!

Well I can see today is going to be a tough one. I have that "weak" feeling I always wake up with when just starting a VCLD. And I'm suffering, eeermmm, how can I put this, digestive problems after eating carbs on Monday :D Maybe that'll teach me why its not a good idea to eat normally whilst...

Thanks both. And yes I agree, getting back on it should minimise the impact in weight terms - its the pyschological effect breaking it has that makes getting back on it bloody difficult thats the real problem! I have though decided I need to do (planned) random AAM days as its the only way I...

So, my planned valentine's meal didn't go well - well it did, we had a lovely time :D but my eating plan went out of the window I'm afraid. :mad: Oh well, onwards and upwards as they say and I'm back on it today. Haven't craved food at all, all day, as I still feel stuffed from last night. I...

Thanks ladies for your comments. I think I am in the right frame of mind this time - just want to have more energy! Week 3 WI was only 2.25lbs down. I know I shouldn't be upset after the fantastic 2 weeks I've just had, but its hard not to feel a teensy bit narked. Just have to console myself...

Not such a good week this week, but I guess I can't complain after the last couple! Cybil - 14lbs 0lb lost, 14lb to go Chunky Madwife - 15lbs, 12lb lost, 3lb to go! Dutch - 14lbs 0lb lost, 14lb to go Mia - 10lbs (2.25lb, 2lb lost - 5.75 to go) Chickadee1976 - 14lbs 0 lost, 14lb to go Maximoo -...

Fantastic, well done.

Hi all, Thought I should get round to writing a bit of a diary! Some background: About 5 years ago I did LL for 7 months, lost a huge amount of weight and then managed to put almost all of it back on. So, here I am again - this time determined to get it off and keep it off! My life has...

I agree with Florakitty -to a large extent it passes and the diet just becomes "something you do" - but it can come back and whack you over the head at any time! And when you get one of those cravings the worst thing you can do is give in to it. Try and work out what time of day they hit you...

I can't wait to...... do more! I can't wait to be able to walk, run, dance, do sport - do whatever I want to do - without getting exhausted after 5 minutes and feeling like everyone's laughing at me for even trying!

great advice, will definitely try to speed up my metabolism am a mixture of excited about eating and scared about getting back on the diet the next day. in oh so many ways Babystar, a shake is alot less trouble than a husband!

I have the same issue. Hubby wanted chinese but I've managed to convince him to go for an indian because it has more carb free options on the menu - it'll be harder choosing them though, I love indian! going to need lots of support the next day!

Woah! Big shock on the scales this morning - I've NEVER lost more in week 2 than week 1 before! I have gone from 4 to 3 packs a day, drunk truck loads of water and done quite alot of swimming, but still. 21.5lbs in 2 weeks. Think I might love Exante even more than LL! Have updated my target...

Count me in too please! Just about finished my first week on Exante and looking forward to a good month of weight loss. Cybil - 14lbs Chunky Madwife - 10lbs Dutch - 14lbs Mia - 10lbs Chickadee1976 - 14lbs Maximoo - 14lbs JoanneM - 14lbs Kae - 14lbs Aktrs - 14lbs Lisy -...

Hi All Thanks for the lovely welcome. I'm sorry to hear some of you are having such a hard time. Debbie - what fantastic news both on your weight loss and your exams. You must be so relieved the exams are over - for a while at least! Chobe

Hi Carolyne Thats wonderful news - standing on the scales feels good, but it really is the fabulousness of having more choice and smaller sizes fitting that makes it seem real somehow. Completely agree with Shadow - would love to see some photos. Our counsellor has suggested that if we have...

Hi Carolyne I'm at a very similar point to you - I've been doing LL for 7 weeks and have lost 42.5lbs (isn't it crazy how important the 0.5 is?). Its the same in my group - lots of people have been on holiday and all have eaten, although some have stuck to LL better than others. I'm going on...

Hi All, I've been lurking for a while now, and thought it was about time I introduced myself! I'm definately a WEMITT - I've about 17st to lose, and for the first time in my life, I'm more determined to do this than I ever have been and I'm determined to put myself first to make sure I suceed...
