Hi Shaz, The missus originally wanted to do LL but I had tried a VLCD myself years ago and really did not think I could put myself through that again so I sympathise totally. Rest assured, GL is the right diet for you. It is scientifically and nutritionally sound and very easy to stick to...

After losing 50lbs in 5 months with Go Lower my wife and I allowed ourselves to relax a bit over Christmas. We put on about 5lbs over Christmas week which we then lost, and then another 6lbs over New Year's. Since then I've lost 8lbs. I lost 6lbs this week by getting strictly back on the GL...

Haven't posted in a while because I'd hit a bit of a plateau in weight loss, and although I was still losing the odd lb or two per week it felt a bit like two steps forwards, one step back. However, as the turtle and the hare proved, "slow but sure wins the race", and I've today hit another...

Flapjack!!??? Flapjack!!!!??? You never told me about no flapjack!!!!!!!!!!!

Not posted in a while because we hit a major plateau - been two steps forwards, one step back for about a month or so now. Having already lost so much I refused to be disheartened, and figured it's just my body taking the opportunity to adjust to losing so much weight so quickly. This week I...

"16 again!" Hi Hayley - this is the first diet I've ever had where I've felt happy skipping meals - having always bean a big eater it's unheard of - but you really do have to make an effort to have 3 meals a day - failing to do so will slow your weight loss. I guess the key for those points is...

4 1/2 lbs is excellent - and with Go Lower I highly recommend you also measure yourself because even when you're not losing lbs you will definitely be losing inches. When I started this diet I was on the biggest notch on my favourite Calvin Klein belt, and I'm now on the smallest notch, and...

Thanks Jenny - yes, I am chuffed to bits and very confident about losing the rest of the weight I need to. And honestly you should try and go a bit easier on yourself. GoLower is the best diet I've ever come across, and although of course you do need to follow it reasonably strictly you will...

Yeah - red wine = bad! Lost another 2lbs this week - so after putting on 5lbs during our week off the diet, I've since lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks. So I'm still averaging over 4lbs a week, which is over a stone a month, which puts me well on track.

1/4 of the way.... I hit the 25lb mark today - that's less than 6 weeks and a quarter of my target gone already. Pink Puma has lost a stone and a half, and although she's a few lb behind me she's actually at exactly 1/4 of her target as well, so we're both well ahead of schedule. Can see...

"21 today!" Yep - a stone and a half gone! This weighing in business is highly addictive I have to say - once I start losing I can't help weighing myself every 2 or 3 days because I just keep losing weight! It's great! Another lb gone today, so that's another milestone - 1 1/2 stone gone. Not...

Hi Kristy, Yep, the Go Lower soups are fine in a flask - my wife takes one to work every day as she has no microwave in the office. Top tip is to pour boiling water in the flask and leave it for a little while then empty before putting the soup in - that way the flask is already warmed up so...

Hi Hidjus, The weight loss tracker is a bit finicky but here's the procedure. 1) Go to the Ticker Factory weight loss setup page. 2) Select your "ruler" (this is the background strip image) - there are pages of designs which you get to by clicking the page numbers below. When you have the one...

Hi Karen, Thanks for the positive feedback. We are in this for the long haul, and with the best will in the world it will be a good 5 - 7 months before either my wife or I lose all the weight we need to, and there's no question that we will probably get bored. As you say - often a change is...

Nearly the end of week 2 - 12 days gone and 13 lbs closer to my target. Pink Puma and myself are both well on course to lose over a stone in our first month. I'm now aiming for 2 stone in my first month. KJ2s - sorry to hear you've given up on Go Lower and gone to the dark side - the "miracle...

Hi bigbum - the weekend was great, just weighed in again today at the end of our first full week, and I have lost another 3lbs. Sandy (Pink Puma) hasn't lost any more but still, that's 6lbs in a week for her which is still excellent. We only have to average about 3 1/2 lbs a week in order to...

Whooo-hooo! :) Absolutely delighted - both Sandy (Pink Puma above) and myself lost 6lbs in our first 3 days - couldn't ask to a better start to a diet. I know you always lose a lot at the beginning but this is unprecedented. Actually for Sandy it's really only two days - the GoLower pack...

Hi "not so Bigbum" ;) - we're both really looking forward to getting started - hoping everything arrives tomorrow as scheduled. Sandy (or Pink Puma as she sometimes calls herself) bought a couple of new thermos flasks for us for soups today as she doesn't have a microwave or kitchen at work and...

Hey - where's my Ticker?? Ah there it is!!:D

Hi all, Just joined and dragging the wife along too. We had been contemplating a VLCD like Lighter Life or Cambridge, but found this site to be an absolutely invaluable reference and found out about Go Lower which I think will suit us better. Wish us luck! Ken (and soon to follow, Sandy)

Hi all, Been lurking for a couple of days as my wife and I had been toying with the idea of a VLCD - either Lighter Life or Cambridge Diet. However, having done Herbalife myself many years ago I was not looking forward to shakes :9529:. After reading on this site about Go Lower it...
