Hmm, Just wait until you get to a "okish" size but you still want to lose a stone or 2 more to get to sz 12 and people start telling you to stop dieting as you are getting too thin! I cant work that out?! This happened to me the very first time i did the diet in 2008. I got to about 12st and...

I think people notice but dont want to say it incase you havent and they dont want you to think they thought you looked fat to begin with?? You know what I mean?? I think someone has to know you really well to be able to complement you! It is strange though!

Hi Hun, Sorry that your not losing. Can I ask, have you ever had your thyroid checked? I tried vlcd at the beginning of the year and I had the same losing patterns. It turned out I had an underactive thyroid! (only diagnosed in June) I have just managed to get on the correct medication so...

Ok will do :) Fingers crossed its more a disclaimer than a definate no no!! The things we do to lose weight!!

Hi All, I have tried Lipotrim in the past but it didnt really work as I had an undiagnosed thyroid problem at the time. Now that I am medicated I really want to lose all the weight I have gained:( I want to try Exante this time as they have interesting sounding bars that I would really...

Hi, I tried this diet but didnt like the food so I have just put 3 weeks supply on Ebay if anyone is interested. Just type Go Lower and you should find my listing Thanks :)

I would love to discuss it too! I dont actually know if its working... trying not to use the weighing scale daily is quite hard! I also feel guilty for eating a bit of choc etc!! On the other hand i know i am eating less as when i feel like nibbling i think about if i am hungry and most...

Hi, I am starting this myself. Started yesterday :) We can do it together! I listened to the CD 3 times so far. I felt it worked the first time, the second two times i am not too sure as i was a bit distracted and nearly fell asleep the last time! Hopefully its still working!! I have...

Hey guys, Well 4th Week weight in and i am down 2lbs this week. I am not too thrilled to be honest but at least i lost something right!! I guess its just that i have been expecting a big loss cos i have had a few weeks of low losses, but guess its not meant to be! I am only going to do...

Hey, thanks :) I cant say i am feeling great, probably just a bit sorry for myself! But i am going to stick this out until the end! I just hope i dont have to extend it a week or two to make up for the crap loss weeks! I just wanted to do 6 weeks but might have to consider prolonging it a...

Thanks guys :) That has helped a lot :) I know i shouldnt weight myself. I am going to try and stop. Might have to get hubby to put the scales in the loft! I guess i was expecting to lose a bit more this week as the last two weeks havent been good losses, so each day i see sts i get more...

:cry::cry: The last time i was down was Saturday morning!!! Its Thursday today! My chemist weigh in is on Sat and i am not down a single lb since my last weigh in :cry::cry: I know i shouldnt but i weigh myself mostly everyday. Its something i look forward to each morning.. it keeps me...

Hi, I feel much better now. The faintness has passed thank god. I did up my water and had my shakes earlier than usual and that helped. I didnt eat anything in the end :) I think i have heard that feeling crap can mean that the next day you lose more.... so hopefully that was it ;)

Hey girls/guys, Just wanted a bit of advice. I have just started week 4 and am starting to feel really weak and tired. It started last night, i just tossed and turned and today i have woken up very light headed. I have had one shake early and plan to have the next one soon. How long will i...

Day 22. Week 3 weigh in. I am down 3lbs this week. I am pretty disapointed. Was hoping for a better loss this week as i only lost 3lbs last week. Ah well at least its downwards! I am feeling ok though, no thoughts of cheating which is good for me cos usually after a bad loss i give up! Ha! I am...

Hi, This is the second time i am doing LT. The first time i was doing really well until i decided to have one day off and then that messed it up for me completely. One day turned in to two days. I would restart the monday then by friday i wanted to eat again. You dont realise how easy it...

Day 20!! Nearly 3 weeks down! woo hoo!! Today has gone well! Very well considering its a saturday :) Hubby took me to westfield today to get me some gifts for valentines! All i did was bake him a choc cake and cook him a steak dinner and he wanted to buy me presents :) There you go girls, the...

Yeah! I would like the option of being able to reach for the wine if i feel uncomfortable! At least i could relax a bit and might enjoy myself! Cant do that on my diet though! Not only will i not be able to eat or drink but would be terribly self conscience of my smelly breath!! Would prefer...

Thanks :) I could go, i guess its just the situation. I dont know them so i dont feel comfortable not eating or drinking in front of them! How can i got for a meal with them and not eat!! It sounds like its not just his friend and wife, it seems like they are inviting other people so the...

Day 19 - Checked my ketosis and i am still in ketosis after my little mishap yesterday. Today i ok, i feel focused. Hubby phoned me earlier and said one of his friends wants to arange a weekend away at a hotel with a few couples, boys go off and play golf, women go to a spa or something like...

Day 18 - Didnt do too great yesterday. Am starting to get bored on the diet. Ended up eating 2 frankfurters and a slice of cheese!! This morning woke and and decided i am an idiot and i need to stick to only TFR! I threw away the frankfurters and slice cheese and decided i wasnt going to eat...

I am afraid so :( You can even gain a bit of water weight on totm. Its best to expect to not lose anything so if you do its a bonus! TOTM has been my downfall in the past. I would try so hard to stick to shakes and then not lose anything by weigh day... it was such a downer! This time round...

Good luck :) Fingers crossed for you x

Hey, I am sorry your first day didnt go well. Maybe trying to make the shakes with a lot more water? Maybe if they are more watered down you might be able to stomach them? What is it about the shakes that you dont like? The key to this diet is the shakes, you cant do the diet without them...

Hi Scazman, Good luck on your journey :) Can I ask, did the weight go back on quiet easily? I am in the same position as you. I pretty much gained back all the weight i lost the first time so i have to start from scratch. When i finished LT last time I didnt do a refeed and when back to...

I havent been doing too well at this diary thing so i thought i would write a bit today! So, day 16! In to my 3rd week :) The diet has been going well, to be honest i try not to think about the diet and just try to get on with it. I find when i start thinking about it i work myself up in to a...

Hey, My tummy rumbles all the time! I just see it as an alarm clock to take my shake or have some water! I found that even though i got to ketosis by day three, it took a good 5-7 days to stop feeling hungry. Soon you wont feel hunger at all :)

Well done :) Thats such a great loss :) Glad it gave you a boost :)

Awww hun, it is hard to begin with. The only thing that worked for me was to try not think about how hungry i was and i pretty much just trying to ignore feeling hungry. The first few days are the worse but you can get through them! I was cold all the time the first few days and had a rumbly...

So day 15 for me. Second weight in and I am down 3lbs on TOTM week. Am really happy with that as i thought i was only going to be down 1lb!

I wish i didnt have the rancid breath! My mum told me yesterday that it smells like a dog has shat in my mouth! Thanks mum! :S

Deffinately :) What was really funny was when i was building up to tell her! I felt like a child! lol! I even stuttered a bit! I remember laughing a bit while she was shouting at me thinking -bloody hell! I am married adult but shes shouting at me like i was 5 and had been caught drawing on...

The first time i had a soup was while i was away on a work business trip. I didnt have enough shakes to just take choc so had to have the soup. I took the chicken soup for lunch one day. I attempted to mix it up and get out all the lumps but i couldnt. i spent the next hour trying to drink...

Hi, I have decided to start writing a weight loss diary to help me with my motivation:) Today is day 12 for me so I have nearly completed 2 weeks which i am thrilled about :) Week 1 went well and i managed to breeze through it without cheating. This is good for me as i have attempted to...

Hey hun, I got abuse from my mum yesterday when i told her! This is a restart for me as i was stupid the first time i did LT and i didnt do a refeed so gained most of the weight back. I was not looking forward to telling her as i knew she would be mad with me! And she was! She told me i was...

Hey, If your husband sees how upset you are by your weight, i am sure he will support you with anything you do. I have done the shakes a few times and my husband got fed up of me doing them then giving in then starting again. He didnt want me to do the shakes ever again. He wanted me to...

Well done :) Thats brilliant!

Morning All, Well got through my first week just fine :) Today I am down 8lbs! Weekend was hard but not terrible. My hubby wanted to do stuff like go cinema or in to London but i didnt want to so we pretty much stayed at home the whole weekend! Hopefully next weekend i will feel strong...

Yep most deffinately! Husband is constantly telling me to roll over and not touch him in bed! :( So sad! lol. To be honest i do put my ice toes on him on purpose to watch him jump... the annoying food eating git!! lol

Hey All, Just wanted to let you know i am still hanging in there! On day four now :) The first three days were ok. I havent been able to get to sleep easily though but i hope it will be better tonight! At night its when my stomach rumbles terribly! It amazes me what we go through to get to...

Thats all :) Good to see there are people in the same boat as me! I need to do it this time! I have no other option than to do this!! Last chance so to speak! Good luck to everyone today :)

Thanks All :) I am feeling good at the moment! My stomach feels empty but i like that feeling :) Cant wait for the cold hands, feet and smelly breath!! :)

I've never did a refeed, i just went back to eating normally and the weight went back on fast! In July last year i got to 11.8lbs, today i am 13.11lbs! Once I got married i just wanted some time off dieting and just ate what i wanted and didnt think about consciquences. I hope this time round...

Thats amazing! You have done so well! Esp managing to stick to it even after the sts weeks! I hope i have your strength! You have also proved that exercise helps! I am deff going to try and go gym a few times a week to help my weightloss :) x

Hi, Welcome and goodluck. I have started today too :) Fingers crossed for us all :) x

I just put in my details on my weight and hight etc! I cant believe my bmi is nearly in the obese range! :( Hopefully not for long

Hi, After i stopped LT for the first time i lost a lot of hair... i didnt have any bold spots but my hair was deffinately a lot thinner and noticable. Basically when your on the shakes you stop growing new hair as your body is working harder to support the rest of your body needs, once your...

Hey All, I am starting my LT journey for a second time today. I started LT for the first time back in Dec 07. I got married last July at a reasonable weight but since then i have gone crazy and let myself go! I am 6lbs off the starting weight i was when i started LT for the first time!! I...
