:( bloody diets

After a sizeable wobble I am back... Day 3 today and hoping that you have all done better than me, I need inspiration. If I had stuck with it I would have been nearly there.

Back on it people as of yesterday (Monday) I would put a smiley here but I don't feel like smiling! Thanks for the support

You inspire me so much.

Erm...ask me on Saturday :p

Hello, thanks, trip was good but wagon fallen off... :(

I'm here...just a chaotic week which I found really difficult

Off to Abu Dhabi for a week for work, not looking good... I always find work situations difficult to be 100% everybody wants you to be social :( Please Make sure I come back on here. Hassle me if I'm not back on here by next Saturday please!

Where are you? Hope you're ok x

Wow you look great. Nice one Leelee, you look so carefree. And well done for having the strength to resist, especially in pizza express. You are my encouragement...don't stop

Haha hell yeah! The best feeling in the world is that you never have to see them again!

Only just read this as I was working late myself, hopefully you made it through the night without jacks help and without eating. I hope everything is ok with you

The pressure the pressure... :)

Good news, thanks James

6 pounds...that is amazing, keep going. You rule!

If you can, keep at the diet, I support you!

Good luck today

Haha, yeah it was good! I think it is his last one as iron man

Currently listening to def leppard, yeah it's cheesy...sue me! :p

Sounds like fun fuzzy, I need a diamond ring...or a holiday :p Leelee, thanks, the weekend is gonna be ok, I'm gonna watch iron man at the cinema this morning and kick the rest of its ass later...stupid long weekends!

Yeah I did it no problem thanks! Just bored, I wonder if I would be bored eating cheeseburgers everyday?

Weigh day- 7 pounds off! Hell yeah!!

Sorry...back on topic. I'm hungry

James Blake I am not keen on, but deathcab are amazing, Ben G did a beautiful album with Jay Farrar of uncle tupelo, such a mellow album. I've got Andy cairns (therapy?) acoustic show coming up, can't wait.

I saw him a few years back with calexico, they did a set each and met in the middle to perform the ep they released. So so good. I am liking the new album, I prefer the earlier stuff. Postal service live next month, cannot wait

The dreaded weekend...my weigh day tomorrow! Yay! What you listening to today? I've been listening to the presets and now on to the new iron and wine album.

Oh my god, this made me really sad. If he doesn't want to support you there is no need to be deliberately cruel to you. I have never heard of anything as mean as buying food for the dogs and feeding them in front of you. All I can think is your lip must be bitten away, your patience is...

I want a kebab...I don't even like them, but I crave them like hell on this!

Haha that's exactly what I want to do too

Me too I just wrote something similar...what to do?

I'm doing really well and not finding it a problem, but I am bored, and want to eat, I just BBQ'd some burgers for the boy...and thought I would kill for one of these. I guess if I keep them thoughts then I can't go wrong, but I feel weak at the moment, weigh day on say, so keep focused on that.

I also wonder this, I feel like I need to do some exercise...infact I want to do some exercise. Is there a max we should do or should we do light exercise?

Do it do it do it!

Haha I love the fact that we are wishing our lives away. And I shall join you in a huzzah! Huzzah!!

I am weirdly in the zone at the moment, not bored too much, not hungry, not craving...if it remained like this I could do it forever!

Wow busy day, I too am wishing my life away at the moment...also really want to book a holiday...so filling spare time with that. Larry David is god!

Greasy cafe bacon roll

Well done, good loss, keep it going!

Haha, I thought only my clothes laughed and mocked me.

Thanks for these. I tried some clothes on...need to keep going! :p

Holy crap, well done that is awesome...you're kicking its ass. And the pixies rule!

Well done on not celebrating your birthday (sounds weird), and no I don't have the white tongue thing. :(

There is some positivity...thanks I need it!

Should probably clarify that is a joke

Yeah this has got me into a lot if trouble before... Bend over and bite this...what!?'

Day 8 How do you guys deal with the boredom, I struggle with it, I want to eat, I don't need to but I want to, my brain really works overtime trying to convince me this time we can do it. We can be good, fruit for breakfast, something small for lunch and steamed everything for dinner...come...

Ok then, I will. Sorry to hear work sucked...sleep well

CAKE!!!! Yeah I know, wish I could switch my brain off.

Excellent news, if it works for you, do it :)

These happens to me everytime. I am sitting at home looking at other diets, diets with food, because my stupid brain says that why am I doing this, I can eat food and lose weight. I know I can't. But what about Atkins? What about it? You can eat meat, loads of meat! Oh yeah? Shall we find...

The only way this is going to work is if I stay at it No excuses!

I haven't read it no, will have a look. Carb loading sounds good. I'm doing a barbie for the family tonight, I find it easier to be part of the food prep then to hide away from it, I think the wife likes it too

Awesome, I have always wanted to run the london marathon, would you do it again? I started a couch to 5k challenge last year to do a zombie run, I did it, but then I stopped running. Story of my life, set goal, reach goal, go back to usual...not this tine

Day7... I find weekends difficult, not that I am going to break just the boredom of it all. During the week, when I am working time seems to go by quicker, weekends drag out. But I will keep going and watch the London marathon. Have a good one guys

Ah no worries, I just can't stand waiting in massive queues, saw the cure live last year...amazing

But you did it and it was fairly easy, so well done you! You are inspiring me.

Haha! Apparently music used to be on tape too!

Keep on going!!

You mean they used to print them on paper? Haha

Haha I am the same, my brain can convince me at my heaviest I look alright! Stupid brain. I no longer have the pic of me at my lowest weight...it was in amongst memories I no longer wanted...so don't have it.

No queue was too long...I wanted the red vinyl kiss me kiss me kiss me by the cure and the deftones vinyl :(

Thanks Teapot

11 pounds off....that makes it worth while! Yhanks for the encouragemrnt

It went without a hitch, they ate, I watched. Easy. Now I'm off to get weighed, and it's record store day, I can see if there is a treat for me sonewhere

I hear that...bloody mirrors and pictures :(

Well done, awesome willpower! Keep it going

Day 5... Meeting friends tonight, at a diner in London, big burgers and shakes etc... I'm not worried about it. But in my own true style I haven't told them I'm not eating, I guess I do that so I don't get asked next week (if I fell off the diet), how's the diet going? Or just the usual OMG...

Just out of interest, how do you find being on Exante from lipotrim, I think Exante tastes better and is cheaper but LT kind of forces me to behave because of the weekly weigh in

Awesome, well done :)))

I have always wanted to line in the US, mainly Venice beach, but is be happy with anywhere :p "I want a range life, if I could settle down"

Where in America did you live? If you don't mind me asking?

Yeah it's a really great book.

Oh you're good!!

I have read the book "the severed alliance" genius, can't play instruments but my toe nails look great...black nail polish! :)

Thanks for the encouragement teapot and leelee. Day 4...continued. Is it too early to say I have beaten this day...probably, but given the choice I would be tucked up in my bed waiting for tomorrow...but one more shake to go. Here is an idea to makers of LT...please make your products taste...

Well looks like I found the motivation I needed for day 4, thanks for sharing. Some things really resonated with me as we seemed to have similar timelines of crap happening to us. Anyway between reading inspiration and 24hour spotify I am going to do this and beat it! I never want to do this...

Day 4...morning The dilemma my brain is desperately trying to convince me to go and get something to eat, it's being clever though, it says lets get some chicken, not KFC or anything, a bit of sandwich meat. It gives me great reasons why, but mainly, come on, eat something it won't affect...

I love cherry coke!

Day 3. Hell day, I hate this day, but it gets worse for me tomorrow. Twice today I have stood in front of something that could undo the last few days...but fought and resisted and feel better for it...but it's not easy! Not much else to say, just a miserable day!

The exercise is good though, well done for that, stay focused, you are inspiring and a positive person to follow. I am here on day 3 with that teetering on the edge, can't decide what to do, a slip now is normal, but I don't want to do this again :( Sending you some positive vibes muff

Keep going muffy

Sorry, holiday :)

Day 2. It's going ok, well until now. When my brain has just said..."what the hell are we doing this again for?" I hate this diet, it's horrible, anyone who enjoys this is a liar...day 4 I should get to ketosis, but that is 2 days away. I'm not going to quit, because I always have to redo...

Thanks Teapot, I just noticed that I have old weight loss below, but I can't take them off on the iPhone app. I wish I was doing that well! :)

Hey Muffy, been a few years, good to see you're doing well x

In 2007 the world was mine, I started CD in June for a friends wedding in September, I had to buy a new suit for the wedding, that's how well I had done. My success continued through to early 2008, feeling great and compliments galore. Then I got divorced. Welcome back comfort eating, and from...

Good morning, This is day one Exante, I have been on VLCDs before, (Cambridge and lipotrim), I like the results but I don't like the boredom. I have had lost weight before on these diets, but because I have never reached a final weight I haven't got to a point where I was happy, but then life...

Muff those pics are great, well done, there is a massive difference! Keep going youre doing so well!

Hey muffs, I will be restarting soon (monday more than likely), and I am going to need your help, glad your here and still remember me! See ya soon!

Hey Paula, :)

Hi muffs, Miss ya!

Hi friends, just to let you know I am still alive and guess what I fell off in Dubai and haven't got back on! I didnt feel like coming back here because I felt like I had not only let myself down but you guys as well. I have missed Paula and Muffs, we were doing so well, we were all striving...

Going away for a while, I hope you get back on and keep going with this, you are an inspiration! Take care!

Going away for a while, keep up the good work Paula! See you when I'm back!

No point worrying and no matter what advice we give we are our own worst enemy! This diet will be there tomorrow and the next day and the next.... Thinking of ya! :)

3 off, kick ass!

Do what I do kids.....think about boobs! :)

Feels great doesn't it! You kick ass muff!

They may call it mousse, I certainly don't! Ugh! I am better thanks Paula! How's you?

It's cold and I'm hungry!

Nor too bad thanks. Just getting on!

;) :)

Great news, have a great day!

You forgot that I revealed I think of food more than boobs these days too hahahaha!

Mmmmm kebab!

You just put it back in my head, mmmmm kebab!!

You can't be in our gang then muff! Just kidding!

Very true Paula, and I am 36 with no work to my teeth either, yay our mums!

Thanks guys! :)

Where my comfort eating began. I eat large portions, I always have done, I am the tallest of my 2 brothers, I also have a large frame, the comment I always received as a child was ooh he looks like a rugby player, and i did enjoy rugby so, i guess i fit the mould. However this also meant that...

good on ya muff!

Just clicked the image after waking up! Gross!

It doesn't matter a stitch what you did today, difficult days are difficult days and we can only deal with them in a natural and normal way! You're a human being not a machine, I would have done the same and 99% of people on here! You're brilliant and you have fantastic support at home and...

Kick ass!

Yeah keep going with it Paula, you have a will of steel!

Cheers guys & yeah Paula, the reward is good! :)

Yay for jacko

Cheers muff!

Yay Jayne! Excellent!

Today's weigh in is 5ibs off, so that is 2st 6ibs in total! Brilliant, I am nearly halfway there!!

Don't give up, you're too inspiring! Thinking of you today! :(

Well done you!

I totally agree muff, we do help each other out alot! I am in this till I reach goal but hoping it arrives at the end of march, that's what I'm telling myself! Haha

Good luck tomorrow muff! X

No sneak peaks but yes to a third of a way through! Congrats on your willpower today! And yes I would have quit 3 weeks ago, I must really want it! :)

I am gonna call you muff from now on!!

Ooh I love a rant, I love reading your stuff nmmt, (I almost called you muff then, how wrong)! :p anyway I find you inspirational and focused, it helps me focus and persevere! Anywho hope your Sunday has gotten better and your doing well!

Hey Paula, glad your busy as that keeps the mind of temptation but missing your encouragement and help! Hope you're good!

Another day, another desire, today it's pizza express! Other than that I am doing fine, have a dull headache which is nice! I think Sunday's are the worst days, thy are the weakest days! I have WI tomorrow, so I charge towards that, but my desire to eat is at it's optimum on a Sunday, willpower...

Thanks nmmt! :)

Hey guys, today has been ok, WI on Monday, so hoping for something good to spur me on! Not that I am thinking of quitting but a nice push in the right direction would be grand! Hope everyone is doing ok!

I am constantly finding that!

Hello people, didn't I have a wobble yesterday, thanks for all your support, it is always an incredible help! I feel better today, it's nearly the end of Jan, I never thought I would get this far judging by my terrible history of restarting! I am pushing forward and trying not to think about...

Welcome to the rollercoaster jb, it's a bumpy ride and you will want to get off! Make no hasty decision till your first weigh in, it's a beautiful thing! Find distractions and do them, you only ever want to do this journey once! Take care keep writing and stick with it!

Still very achievable! Write down your goals what you are doing this for how you want to look, get excited again! Evening wise find a solution, if I am tempted to eat I will go for a 20 min walk or I will go and brush my teeth, or I will read a chapter if my book! Busy yourself or remove...

Couldn't agree more!! Hermits unite!

Thanks guys, I just need a kick up the arse!

Great to hear from you, good luck!

I have no idea how to refocus, i am just gonna keep riding it out, see where it goes, i know i can do this and i will!

I haven't eaten anything, but I'm not over craving it! There is a very strong desire to "treat" myself for being good! It's nearly 4 weeks/a month of no food, no chew, no substanance! The shakes are boring, the crapjacks are grim! I am doing so well better than I have in years and yet my...

I'm really hungry, I really want to eat, it has washed over me today and I am ravenous, I don't know what to do! Sensible me is saying no ofcourse not but god I am so close!

Hope your dad is ok, well done in getting in the dreaded combats! Great news!

18 is still brilliant!!

Yaaaaayyy Paula, kicking ass!!! Eggcellent news, really cracking! Hahaha

Good on u! Keep going!

12ibs is brilliant! Well done!

Hahahaha!!! You lot crack me up, but I will happily accept pics via pm if you want to help me! Hahahaha! Quick I might turn gay I'm thinking of sausage so much!

The risks of getting thinner! Aaargghh!

I can't believe how boring this diet becomes, it's going through the motions of life without the food, it's not like I have stopped thinking of food, it may have taken preference in my mind, more so than boobs (:p)!! I don't know how to explain, the need to eat has long gone, the desire hasn't...

I am good thanks, just keeping my head down and getting on with it!

Great news, nice loss! Your goals sound great, so keep going! Your chemist sounds like a nightmare!

100% all the way! Keep going mate, you can do it!

This diet is a living hell!! Who cares how long your in the bath, if it helps you escape temptation I am all for it! Keep going your doing so well!

Hey Pudge, you are doing so well, its awesome and I am glad you are so motivated and focused.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I almost died!

I'm 6 foot too but just gone past your whopping 18:10, after losing 2 stone! :( I am not sure what I was, what's bigger than whopping!! ??

Thanks pudge, my jokes are brilliant aren't they! :p

Just spend some time looking around the lipotrim section of this site and get inspired, then start a diary so we can see what you're up to!

Good luck happy days!

Ahh bless you guys, yeah I am sure other people will notice soon, but I must persevere! Hope you guys are doing well! :)

Good luck tomorrow Lou, I am sure you will see some loss!

How do I explain my cravings! :p

Congrats!!

Awesome news!! Well done! One week done!

Cmon Jacko what's the loss?

nice one Jayne!

Hello people, Just back from WI, and I am pleased to say I am 8 pounds lighter...so that is 2stone 1pound gone....that feels so good. I would like to see some change, but hey it all takes time. I know what i cannot see is happening, I never take measurements, silly me..i never take pics...

Cheers Paula, now we both have something on each other!!! :p

Nice to see a pic of you too! :)

Thanks NMM, I can't help but think it will be ok as I have been 100% so fingers crossed! I used to weigh everyday at home when I did CD! But I have stopped now! I don't miss it, but when I did do it I remember it was very encouraging!! Have a great day yourself!

I am doing alright thanks, off to WI this morning, I hope it's good, this has been an awkward week so I am looking for a loss to make it worth while!

Fantastic news, congratulations!!

It's done, so just get back into 100% and good luck!

Well I wasn't eggstatic about your slip, but I am glad you can make of a yoke of it! I guess it's easy to crack! (I'd like to thank my Jimmy Tarbuck big book of jokes!)! I have never had a "after plan", it seems obvious but I have never done it! Also I have never got to a target weight, so I...

All good today Ta, just went to nandos with the missus, not even tempted, yay me! :)

PAULA!!! How can I ever trust anything you say again??? OMG, you have let us all down..etc..etc! Hahahahaha, just kidding, I like the fact that you have planned it, sounds good, I would have planned a mcdonalds but hey that's me! :p Anyway I think some of this diet is finding someways to cheat...

Thanks Su

Sunday, tomorrow is WI, so I am glad another week is nearly over and I will be in week 4, this is further than I have got after trying to get back onto VLC for over two years. I couldn't get past week 1, my brain knew the diet would work so it always tricked me into caving in this week and...

It is strange the things we crave! I could easily be exposed to a million delicious foods, but put a hotdog in front of me and it would be gone! (yes I know they are made of horrendous "meat") but hey I love em!

Good on you Jacko, it's a good little support network here, with these guys I can always find the strength to make it through another day! Have a better day today!

Hahaha!

Hey Paula, yeah there must have been something about last night! My lot ate Chinese tonight, thankfully it does nothing for me, but there was a threat of Indian earlier then I would have had to leave the room! Hahaha

You can do it! You can eat a steak in 10 weeks!

I promise if you can keep going it gets easier, very close to weigh in, make it to weigh in then choose whether to carry on or not, otherwise you have had five hard days for no result! Week 2 is so much easier!

Come on jacko, it's not easy, but if you stick to it the good out weighs the bad! I promise!

Last night can only be described as hell on earth, I was frozen to the bone so went to bed at 9, and watched tv, I couldn't warm up for love nor money, but the worst thing was I was desperate to eat last night! I was mentally ravenous, I could only think of food, I begged my lovely wife for...

You are an inspiration Paula. Respect!

Jayne you and I are on the same day same week and bizarrely last night was hell for me, I begged my wife to let me go and eat something, I was in such a mess! She wouldn't let me but last night was horrible!

Hahaha nice one to the good pudge angel! Your doing so well, keep going!

Good read, I have never liked Chinese food, I find it sweaty and sticky, I love Thai food and Indian food however! Kudos to you for being strong! Keep going!

Thanks pudge, yeah I think it is the second, I hope I will be in it, the other one looks ridiculous! Cheers for the advice, I dot really care what people think, so I will remain strong!

Day 19: nothing much to report, it all gets quite boring doesn't it, I read your diaries and I am glad that everyone is doing so well and remain focused, you inspire me! For me it has gone beyond the cravings, beyond the desire, it is more a case of ok how long do I have to do this for! It no...

Day 18: Sorry for my absence, yesterday was fine, the crapjacks as someone put it is a perfect description, 100% was fine. i will be on again later! hope everyone is doing a-ok!

Have a great day

Awful news, people are horrible! Glad you're ok!

Fantastic! Keep it up!

Great loss for the first two weeks!! Congrats!

Thanks guys, yeah it all smelt great in there, but I have spent so much time eating food like that without a thought for the consequences, so it was nice to think about what a treat it would be to allow myself one in the future as opposed to, yes please!

That's ok, I used to be a woman!! :p

Today has been amazingly easy, intact at this point you kinda think you could keep going forever, food isn't even an issue anymore! Tis boring though, tomorrow I am working onsite, first time since I started, I have got flapjacks as I have no way of mixing it up, but it will be ok! I can't...

Certainly does Den! I am happy!

Ahem!

How I would love someone to say I'm too thin!! :p

Your doing great Paula, you inspire me! I have always found in the past when I am near goal people I haven't seen in ages say hey your looking great!! My brain flicks a switch that says Yes!! You have done it and I give up and go back to normal! When I did Cambridge a few years ago I told...

Definition of willpower: taking step son to KFC and not eating everything! Anything even!

Yup I am here after doing so well several years ago, then separation, divorce, depression, etc etc, but happy now and in the right frame of mind! Good luck with your journey!

Nice one denden, choc and strawb are all I can drink! So it is good you have found one you really like!

Have a great day Paula

Thank you guys, I haven't noticed any change in shape or clothes feeling loose, i hope to soon, i have a bag of clothes in the loft i would like to start wearing!

Hey Jacko, great to read about you, I know how you feel, I am 6' and some people always say your not fat just a big guy. But I know I'm fat! :) Anyway I look forward to reading more!

Great to find out more about you Su and congrats for the massive weight loss last year, inspirational! Good luck and I look forward to reading more!

I hope so too!

Excellent news mirjam, congrats, a good day for us both at weigh in and both into our third week...yay us!

Don't get me wrong, I will be eating them regularly from now on, but not great!

Haha I know what you mean about the water, I have always struggled drinking water, but I know so many people who love it! Imam doing ok today, tried a "flapjack" I think I could sue them for trade description, it was like a large dog treat, it was ruff! *boom-tish*

Welcome to hell Den, just kidding, I dislike vanilla and the soup, but you've gotta try them all! See what's right for you Good luck!

I totally know what you mean, it's boredom, ofcourse you will be 100% but your apathetic towards the sachets! Hopefully it will pass! Ps I don't know how you could drink that much shake!

Thanks Pudge...yeah, I am chuffed to bits!!

8 pounds off, I can hardly believe it, I am so chuffed! Through what was a hellish week I am keeping on going! Good luck to you all!

Weigh in day...stay tuned!

All the best Denise, hope you keep a diary so we can track your weightloss! Be strong!

Yeah do that! It will be good for you doing it together!

Funnily enough nobody bats an eye when I eat a banana!

Ooh yeah Cambridge mix a mousse was very nice, that's why I tried the mousse today...grim!

At the moment I would like to get to 14 and a half, because I have been there and I still felt I had a way to go but i did feel great! I think I am supposed to be 12, but I can't imagine being that thin, I have always been a big rugby player build broad shoulders etc.. So I wonder if I would...

From now on it's down in one! :)

Hey PaulaJ, I think we are the same weight, where are you hoping to end up?

Thanks! Thought I would kinda show myself!

This is very true pudge!

The one from the pharmacy is the one they record, so if you make it to where you wanna be on the pharmacy scales, you should be happy on the home ones! :)

Doing well, tried a mousse today... HELL NO! It was grim! Feel focused again! We can do this!

Cheers pudge, sound advice!

The police might arrest me if I am caught shaking in public again! :p

This comment made me smile, I try not to show any flesh to my wife Incase she goes...OMG, you're gross! (she wouldn't ofcourse)!!

Day 14: WI tomorrow, kinda looking forward to it, so we will wait and see! I had a wobble over the last few days, and you guys have been there for me so I thank you, I haven't eaten anything or gone off 100% but I was fed up yesterday especially, really bad, I hate that I have got myself to a...

I use pharmacy weight, I don't weigh at home! I have found it problematic in the past, if I hadn't budged or gained it was like the end of the world!

Brilliant news!! Keep going!

Hi Bushka, you have to commit to it, it works but it's no stroll in the park! Week 1 is killer, be prepared for it, 7 difficult days, but after that you realise you are in control and your goal seems more than doable! I am at the end if week 2, but a few years ago I had fantastic success on...

Good luck!

Haha I love watching videos that make ne feel warn out!

It certainly does!

Thanks Pudge, my wife has been so positive in encouraging me to continue, I think if she had cracked on me I would have gone!

Today truly has been the worst day since I started, I have been bored, famished, ratty all sorts! I have felt like jacking it in every minute! :(

I am bearing the end of week 2, but I did Cambridge a few years ago for about 5 months!

Thanks, it's difficult isn't it, because you want to live a normal life, do normal things, the worst part is getting back on a plan like this!

Yeah that will be amazing! I have a trip booked in Feb for our first wedding anniversary but that is kinda stressing me out as I would like it to be normal (eg: a meal) but will cross that bridge when I get to it!

Thanks for writing, my weigh day is Monday, I am filling my day with cleaning and other mundane activities! Bit it's hard, roll on Monday!

It's the exact same way I feel! Fed upon shakes and don't want to make them! :(

This day is getting no better, I know I'm not going eat anything but I'm not feeling it today! Sorry to be a bummer!

Go for shock and awe, you've come this far! You can do it!!
