"Thinking" is correct. I had really bad heartburns the 1st week on LT...You should get it checked.Actually the LT Folks came back to me and recommended Pepcid.

AH yeah, same here the boobies always make me buy bigger sizes if it is a fitted top. Iam 20/22 bottom and top for strechy Tshirts but 24/26 if fitted. Having said that I got lovely size 18 dresses from Primark/ Pennys... it is impossible to know really, I must try on everything. Can't wait to...

Good luck on your journey Cathy!:) You can do it!

Fabulous..bring on week 2 ...:p

Oh yeah stay away from the flapjacks.... Frankly, i'd say stick to 240ml... as with 400ml although it is thinner u still have a lot more to stomach...They are right you will eventually get used to them, defo add 2 sweeteners and a bit of coffee. Good Luck

Good luck, tell us how it went!:)

Welcome Back!!!:):):) I wasn't around the 1st time but judging by the comments I am glad i am here for the sequel!!!:cool:

Yeah, it could be the dry milk alright. Just like babies with their bottles, u know the way sometimes u have to try different milk etc... Thats what my friend did with my godchild. Anyway, yeah... I am relieved iam not the only one. It is really annoying, it was so bad I couldn't go...

I am suffering from the same thing,it is due to the milk. I emailed LT and they recommended Pepcid,AC or Zantac. NO GAVISCON. Iam actually thinking of swapping to CD as they have lactose free shakes:) Or New you that offers bars. Good luck.

They can also be bought in afro caribbean shops in bottles of 1L.:):):) I also recommend pure Shea Butter.

I think it's a good idea. I am only starting but I was thinking of doing this myself in a few weeks. U might want to do the LT Refeed first though as it does allow you also a small meal.

I lost 10 pounds on my 1st week..yeahh..let me tell u it was hard work as I do not digest milk and got sick:(:( So on 1 shake a day and flapjacks this week....they are awful

Welcome Ro! Good luck on your journey:)

Welcome Back! 6st thats impressive...

85EUR for LT in Dublin.... weird I only pay 67eur and I am on Dublin too. I know it's a bit more for men but that much.. shocking!:eek:

Oh no I do have my 3 meal a day. I have a shake for breakfast, a soup for lunch & Din-din. But yeah, I will defo not microwave it anymore.

Oh really, cos I microwave it all the time.... and iam having it twice a day... oh crap...:(

Ketosis seems to be different for everybody! My friend is like you Michelle, she doesn't really have a smelly breath. I think mine is a bit stronger than usual, also It feels like my back teeth have that metallic taste, especially in the morning. I am on day 4 at the moment and I noticed it on...

Well, i am very active already as I play rugby. But gotta say last night I found it hard to keep up with the usual. It's probably because I am only starting and my body needs to adjust. I hope I will be able to play 80min on Sunday :cry:

:D:D:D:D Yeah I agree on the dog breath... although I was given free strips by the Chemist. It does help for those meetings at work...on that note.. I am off to my tea break:)

Really, what happened? I managed 3days thank to the peppermint tea my new best friend... :D

Welcome Nicola! I find the forum very good as it does keep you focused and thats a credit to everyone in here.:cool:

Day 2 was awful for me too.... I was starving and had bad stomach cramps. I couldn't focus at work...Today I feel much better and as I said on another thread hot tea or peppermint tea is stopping the stomach pain. Try it, i hope it works for you.

Happy Days! Good work!:cool:

It seems I posted twice the same message.. sorry

Really?! I suppose the idea is to have something else later on during the day...calorie wise it's the same but then your body might be expecting to be fed 4 times a day. Dunno...

Thank you ladies ;) It's nice to know I am not going crazy!:D

I haven't tried the flapjacks yet as the Pharmacist said I should wait until week 3. But I like the soup with pepper...oh I will try the curry powder, nice one. It's just nice being able to have some sort of a meal with the boyfriend in the evening :) or at lunch time with the girls.

Yep, that is why I only told a select few I was on LT. I didn't even tell my own mother! Most of people are happy knowing you will always be the fat one! That means they don't have to worry too much about themselves as long as you are there to make them look good!

Oh thats fantastic!!! The thought of being at a normal weight again... yep last time was 15 years ago for me too :D Haven't seen a size 16 in probably 9 years:eek:

Good to hear you are feeling better.:) I had the same thing last week, plain awful. I wasn't on LT yet though.

Hi Guys, Is it me or a hot peppermint tea makes all the difference!? I was really starving yesterday and had bad stomach cramps...but after a hot tea I was fine. I did the same this morning.I am even thinking of drinking hot water as it seems to calm me down. I am on day 3 today, so it might...

Yes, I agree the coffee makes it nice. However, I am not a big fan of the peppermint addition in it. Having said that I think the coffee drove me insane yesterday. I actually usually do not drink coffee....:)

Nah, i like the soup too. It's nice to have something hot in the winter :)

Monday for me too...started this morning though...

Hi Ladies, Here what I received from the helpline regarding mouthwashes. " You can use plain mouthwashes like Listerine Mint and Original, please don’t use any of the other products."

Hi Lady, Thanks. Yep, hopefully today will go well at the Doc. Actually, it's probably better for me cos I don't work on Mondays so I can stay in bed as I go through the 1st phase and the Boyfriend can keep me entertained. Ah yeah, no more picture checking:) Well done you on your first weekend...

That could be a problem for me. I play rugby Union, so it's defo not some gentle exercise. We train twice a week and games every weekend. So you reckon I should cut down to one session a week? I mean i need to train if i want to play. Although big I've always done a lot of sport - which is...

Hi Lady and Bell, thanks for your support. I am off to my GP on monday, I got a few things to get sorted and then I am starting.So hopefully, by Friday or so I should be on my way. I cannot wait. Had a rugby game today and I checked some of the pics taking during the game..no,no.. not good:eek...

Well said, I must admit I am enjoying the forum so far. I wish I had heard or read those comments back in the days, when I was tempted on previous traditional diets. I have a wedding coming soon myself and I'll be on LT. I will attend but won't have any food, there will be plenty more occasions...

No problem at all. Best of luck!;)

Tricky... I find littlewoods very good their South range is great and sizes are usually accurate. Have you tried New Look and Dorothy Perkins? At the moment I am a size22, I haven't started LT yet, so I can only talk for the bigger sizes. I hope this helps. Oh, just thought... what about Primark?

Thanks you're right. I'll do that indeed.

What about mouthwash?

Ahhh..thanks for that I was wondering. I even emailed the webmaster... but no reply. Well, threads.. here I come!:cool:

Hi All... first post here. I haven't started yet but I've been calling pharmacies around my area in Dublin. It goes from 66eur to 67eur... My friend in Cork pays 64 eur.
