Well D or diet day has arrived. 17st 4 and quarter pounds... Though its simple just eat the products and water and bobs your uncle the weight will fall off - it's still a mental struggle daily, some worse than others - be so much easier if I could just go into hibernation, yes thats it...

Hi Sharon, Thank you - somewhat excited but also worried for tomorrow - hoping the new year sees me thru the first few days and all the goodies in the house I can overlook when the carb withdrawal headache sets in... I am hoping to lose 5 stone to bring me to 12st and reassess there.... I...

Hi Sharon and Curvie...... Well this diet has been a long time coming.... last succcessful attempt back in 2012 lost 3 stone in 10 weeks and was at my lowest adult weight at 11.10 - was in heaven clothes wise even if the head had some catching up to do..... but, alas I did'nt give it time cos I...

Hey - your travels sound fantastic and the pictures are amazing it would def give anyone the travel bug. Quick question if you dont mind I noted that you said while you did the couch to 5k while doing CD you did'nt lose any weight? The reason I ask is yet again im back on the CD bandwagon and am...

Well im on day 11 today and its all going fine unofficially have lost a stone according to the scales today and I dont feel like bingeing or need of any food - so all good in that respect. However, I feel really down today and a comment by my father but me into tears and well my mother lets...

Please add me to the list too - this site and you guys are my only support and it would be great to be part of a team to spur each other on and look out for each other....

Hey Pete, How did you get on yesterday did you manage to get day 1 under your belt - hopefully you did and are successfuly on day two. Looking forward to update...

Hey Rachele, Hope you had a great Easter, 2.5lbs is still exceptionally good, especially when you incorporate a cheat. Regardless its still 2.5lbs in the right direction so well done you.....

Hey All... Thanks for the replies and the great support - its weird but to cheat makes me feel like im letting all of ye down so thank ye all for the friendly encouragement and chats on here...

Hey Tinkerbellsmum... Thats great 5lbs, I know your slightly disheartened but get 5lbs of butter from the fridge and hold for a few mins then see how you feel... try not to set too high a target cos it can lead to demoralisation if it does'nt then show in the scales - though I appreciate to set...

Thats great Pete - you will prob find that once you get a week under your belt you will be less succumbing to take aways as when ye are both together. Just having read some of your mails - if ye seem to sabatage each other, would it be worth a shot than one does it at a time so that you then...

Hey Pete, Start ASAP - you can do it seriously and you may feel so much stronger to get a week under your belt before Jo comes back. Regarding your friends birthday, sorry but stop making excuses, there will always be a birthday, BBQ. For instance, this month, have my nephews christening...

That is fantastic another 4lbs - well done you for getting the first month under your belt and 24lbs is excellent.... BRAVO.... ps think you have discovered you have willpower...

Sorry Lily our emails crossed...lol I love reading your diary its great reading.... you mentioned your writing a book, what you writing..

Yeah think that's the book Lily was on about and she was saying that there is a new thing to do each day of the 100 days - she posted some of the stuff thru her diary and have to say I found it very good too. Im still back in the stone age and don't have an iphone - for me it calls and texts...

Hey Toptooty, OMG - that is fantastic losses you must be absolutely chuffed - congrats that is great inspiration. I have to admit im jealous of you being in the 12's I cant wait to be back there. Yeah it is a great diet and does work its just mentally hard really - have read on lilly's...

Thanks Mini - yeah freezing the choc works for me - I know its there for me if and when I want it - but out of site at the same time.. thanks for the congrats Toptooty - thanks a mill for mail, glad I got thru the first week, each day was a struggle mainly an internal struggle of sabbotaging...

Hi all... Well managed to get thru the first week and lost 12lbs.... :talk017::banana dancer: Cant believe I got thru it cos the first few days getting into ketosis were awful (worst ever) and day 6 is often a wobble for me, dont worry considered cheating... but came away from it. I have kinda...

Hey MsV Im totally loving the hair on you its FABULOUS and really suits you - good idea on the chop. Also well done on your loses you are doing so well even you have to break it your being very aware and making good conscious decisions regarding food - great inspiration.. Just read your diary...

OMG - you look totally totally fab, give yourself a pat on the pack. Im green with jealousy if thats ok to say lol......

Hey.. Well initially I looked at my BMI and being 5'7" I should be between 9.5stone to 11.5 (approx) stone so I want to middle of the road so aiming for 10 to 10.5 (one day lol). Also im same height as sister (well tiny bit taller) and thats her weight and she looks great at it...

Hey Kimmie, Well I have read your diary from the beggining and its kept me on the straight and narrow today so I very much thank you for that (even though on day 5 boredom was sending me to wopple). I too have used dating sites but am so not going on any dates till I get into the 13's...

Bring on the 14 Squad.....and when I get there you will have me chasing you into the 13's (dreaming of being 13 fit into some of my nice clothes again) you know yourself, when your off the diet you never want to know your weight (ok well I do but somehow I dont let it affect me too much and...

Hey Rachele & Emmaline, It looks like we are all lovers of cheese... (must stop thinking of cheese..lol). Doing ok so far on day 4 today (though admittedly it feels longer) and 6 pounds down so happy with that so far - usually lose 11 first week but not expecting that this time. I really...

Morning Nikki... You liked the choc orange bar so do I - the only thing with bars and me is it re-introduces a sweet taste and I want more and more and it tends to send me on binge so going to go as long as possible without...suppose easiest option for me is to not get them..lol Am, when you...

Well done on your first week weights loss 11lbs - you must be so so chuffed for sticking with it rather than 810. On day 4 today myself and 6 pounds lost similar to yours so hopefully by monday morn I'll reach 11 too (though have totm so not banking on it this time). That first week loss is...

Hi Rachele, Your doing great on CD so far. Is'nt it magical to see 14 on the scales and to say goodbye to 15 and hopefully for the last time too. All this talking of eating cheese is making me want cheese, cos im a veggie too so cheese would be the first thing I would go for - so feel your...

Hey Nikki, Well done on 6.5lbs thats a great kick start. CD does taste so much better than lipotrim anyway, when look back dont know how I managed it. CD is def one that has more taste and variety and I think the Choc mint shake is a general pleaser by everyone. You asked about the bars, for...

Well after whinning on here yesterday and getting thru it by the support of people on here - I have hit day 3 and it only dawned on me while ago that I have had no headache today at all or feeling of hunger - so I must have hit Ketosis. I have never really had the symptoms bad before whilst...

Veve, that is brilliant losses - well done you. My stats are kinda similar to yours so hopefully I will have a big smile on my face in few weeks too. Congrats and love reading your weekly weigh in's its inspirational for me... Keep going and well done ...

Thanks you guys (really really really really mean that) No-one knows im on this, purely cos dont go anywhere to need to tell anyone. I suppose starting and totm falling together was always going to challenge me and prob the extra reason finding it more difficult this time as previous times had...

Hi Everyone, Well started CD yesterday (im a restarter, though lost track of how many). Anyway last time I did it was last year for 7 weeks and managed to shed about 2.5stone. I dont remember having such headaches or having such a bad time getting into ketosis. Also totm today and I just...

Everyone is very different - generally a few pounds, so you might not see your 'real' loss this week BUT dont let it get you down cos it will balance out next week - TRUST ME...

Hi Rachy, Yep, well the 4 packets is correct cos of your height - anyone over 5'8 needs to take the fourth pack to ensure your getting your full quota of vitamins and minerals....

Hey, your right to have the mentality to start earlier cos bank holidays are notoriously filled with food and drink and by the end of it you will (if your like me) have put on another few pounds (its that easy to gain with me- oh the joys)... Best of luck with your new start date

Hi Dollfaces, That is brill, you must be totally chuffed on the 12lb loss - what a difference that makes even in clothes (even if they stop the pinching and marks around the body - anything is accepted) Back on the CD journey again today, at least day 1 under my belt - though will admit...

Thats brill Mojo - congrats on that loss, the week was def worth it when you see that in the scales. On day 1 myself and hope to see something similar.. Congrats...

Hi Poppysparke & Sarah-Louise, Just wanted to say a big Hi and hopefully chat with ye a lot over the coming months - all 3 of us seem to have very similar stats and want it all gone. Well have done CD before but when get into the 12 stone mark the compliments start coming and they somehow...

Hi Skinnylala, Im so glad to read your mail cos thats how I feel and they really throw me into a bad mood for the day and stupidly I want to go and have lots of goodies (which I know defeats the purpose) but the scales is killing me - so as suggested have given it to a friend who I only see...

Hey All, Your right I was singing its my birthday I can eat if I want to in my head, so when read in one of the post it made me laugh, but yet I wanted to be able to say I did'nt break and prove to myself that I have willpower and determination, so I reminded myself its not hunger and you...

Ok so its my 30th today and brought cakes and goodies into work resisted temptation all day though it has worn me down, going for 90 minute massage shortly and just had cranberry bar, but sssssssooooooooooo want goodies, have lost two stone and breaking it next week to go to glasgow, but should...

Hi Clairem87 & Shanny24 That first weigh in the build up to it and the buzz after it, it defenitely keeps you going for the next weigh in, its great. I lost 11lbs in the first week and my second weigh in is on Tuesday evening (bring it on). Im glad to say I dont have a scales in the house...

Well first week done it genuinely felt like a month - honestly. 8lbs down another 62 pounds to go, the downside is my sis, husband and baby home from states today for two weeks and went to brothers and dinner was cooked and ate - how bad of me, though can honestly say its not guilt I feel its my...

Hi Bellyman, yeah men only get 14 and women get 21 but think one sachet from men is like two for us - but dont know why they only let ye have two, to me that makes it even a longer day again especially with the hours you get up at. 4 stone in 12 weeks with WW is totally and utterly fantastic...

I know once you know and feel the weight coming off is'nt it weird how we take more pride in our appearance and our confidence grows - I want it to grow all the way to 10st.:girlpower: When my housemate is cooking its easier to just go have shower and get away from the Kitchen - I genuinely do...

It certainly will make it easier if were both doing this together - I check this every evening after work practically the first thing I do is run for my laptop to see whats happening here. It does seem ages away but generally in the first month one can expect to lose more than a stone so think...

Jellybelly, its true when they say its always harder second time round - have tried and failed so many times myself, I find once day one down it drives me to week 1. Congratulations on your weight loss last year and for your wedding next year - perhaps why not do maintenance for a few weeks to...

Raquel best of luck with your weight loss. I started last Thursday and I also have 50lbs to lose and 5 7"so it would be great to link up regulary to keep each other going on the same journey. This site even in the last 4 days has been a blessing in disguise and mentally I feel if I cheat then I...

They look fantastic - is'nt so great to fit into smaller sizes:hug99:

Elle - you really are a total inspiration, I hope I have as much willpower as you to keep going week by week. I am totally gobsmacked by your weight loss, even if a tad green eyed (if thats allowed!). Katy, I agree with Stelly change your weigh in to a morning and go on empty. Again, elle...

Bellyman don't give up or got it alone, mine are similar to yours weigh in and what food do I want and see you next week but I'm there for a purpose to get my food and lose weight for me - if they never done it they dont understand so use these forums as your support and use your chemist as your...

You are doing brilliantly yo-yo dieter your being very disciplined - well done. I am 5 7" and as of this morning weighed 14st 9lbs with my goal being xmas 09 to be 10st, taking into account me falling off the wagon hopefully only once, but going on my past record it seems to be once every 4...

Hey Carbface and to all other LT's, Just done day 3 went to see nieces and nephews this afternoon and cos I had not taken another shake at that stage my blood sugars were def way too low and was very close to snacking on the goodies I brought them. Came home and had my second one which brought...

Hey, all. Well day one down and day two commences, thankfully its Friday. Yesterday was grand the whole not eating food actually did'nt get to me just the headache which went to bed with and woke up with again now, hopefully this passes over the wend. Akra, that really is a motivational story...

Did you do the vibro plate in conjunction with LT?

Thanks Nicolas - how do you find the vibro plate that your doing or have done.

Hey all, Well starting nil food by mouth as of tomorrow - did it two years ago and lost 2 stone in the first month since then have been up and down way too many times. My problem is once I start seeing the results 5 weeks in I'm so happy with my new found figure that I lose sight of the end...
