Got a butternut squash yesterday. What on earth can I do with it?

I've made this a few times. Sounds soooo wrong but turns out soooo right!

I always do this to myself - and not just about weight.

Mushy pea curry!

I've just had mushy pea curry!

Thanks hon! Hope I can!

Did LT last year and did well. However, due to lots of crappy circumstances in my life I put it all back on. :sigh: Decided enough was enough and got back on the LT train. Day 3 was yesterday and felt really headachey and moody but stuck it out. Started feeling really good today at work but...

Hey ladies! Just been having a good read through this thread and wanted to join in. You all sound like you're doing sooo well - despite all the ups and downs that life throws at us. Did Lipotrim last year and did really well - lost two stone. Unfortunately due to having to reapply for my job...

It's not nice unless you add about 3 sweeteners. I don't usually use sweeteners but do in this and really like it. Tastes best when you have it cold as well.

Honk honk for day 28 done!! Now on the refeed!! Woo hoo!

That is absolutely brilliant - very well done!! xx

Had a dream on Saturday night that I ate a load of Blacksticks Blue cheese!! So specific - I knew it was that particular sort!!

Day 21 - hooooonnkk!!

Good luck xx

It will pass! Day 5 you'll feel great!! I did and randomly had loads of energy!

Hahaha - laughing at this cos this is exactly what I'm like!! Was making sandwiches for family the other day and some savoury cheese filling got on my fingers and on my bottle of water (I can be messy!). Nearly put my finger in my mouth!! Caught myself just in time - washed my hands and...

Well the verdict is in!! Tried the coconut one for lunch today. While it wasn't the worst thing in the world, it wasn't the best. Would deffo get peanut again though. No hung parliament on the flapjack issue!!

If you can get through that, you will get through anything!! I went for a meal with my family on Sun and got through that. Just sipped black coffee and water while they got stuck into 3 courses!! But felt fine!! Was a bit worse when they stayed an extra day with us and I was making toast...

We're all different!! Went off the chocolate after the first week, so don't get it anymore. Can only have the vanilla with coffee and sweetners and the strawberry with sweetners!! Going off the soup now so have tried a peanut flapjack and thought it was ok!!

Hi, Have heard a lot of people on here say that the flapjacks are minging, but wanted something easy to eat at work and thought I'd give them a go. Plus I was getting fed-up of people's comments about my "lovely" chicken soup (and getting a bit sick of the soup anyway!). Tried a peanut one...

I've been doing a few exercise classes at the gym and been fine. I've just drunk more water on those days to compensate for what's been sweated out!! Mmmm, nice!!

Well done!!

A day 16 honk for me too!!!

All the best of luck - this really is the best place to get all the advice you need!

Just seen this thread. The last 2 Saturdays i have been "affected" like this!! Not sure what this Saturday will bring!!

Day 14 Honk

Am glad I'm not the only one!! Have loads that have appeared on my chest in the last week or so! People keep asking me if I have been bitten by insects or summat!!

A day 11 honk!

Day 10 in Honksville!!

Fab - very well done!

Right - what is done is done!! Stop beating yourself up about it. Feeling so crap now will be enough to give you a slap in the chops. You'll not forget this, so you're not likely to do it again. Have a load of water tonight and get a good sleep. Then start again tomorrow with a fresh head...

Cool - in some ways the clothes fitting better is just as good as what you see on the scales. Fabulous!!

Thanks very much!! Hope it's going well for you too!

Hi Princess, Know exactly what you mean - sometimes the old emotions can be up and down on this diet! I was feeling crap at the weekend but feeling great today! You are right about just allowing ourselves to feel what we feel, not beat ourselves up about it. Just need to live in the now. Keep...

It can really work - but as others say, your head needs to be in the right place. Some days you have not much energy, but other days loads. You could give it a go and just take it week by week to see how you feel on it. This is also a great place to get advice - especially if you are feeling...

Very well done!! Home scales can be misleading, but I find it quite difficult to resist the lure of the scales!! I usually do a Wii-Fit weigh-in when I get home after chemists as well. Girl who weighs me in is lovely, but never seems quite sure about how to follow the weight chart!!

That's a fantastic first weight loss!! With regards to activity, I would just go day-to-day seeing how you feel!! Some days I can do loads and other days I struggle. You know your own body, so just go with what it tells you. Without food to muffle it, mine has got quite vocal!! Ha ha!

Hi, It is definitely achievable!! You go girl!!!

Hiya! Feeling much better today - thanks all!! In a good mood and had a couple of people notice I've lost weight! Yay! Also - had weigh-in and have lost 6 pounds!! Woop woop!! That sustained me enough to go do an LBT class and then watch my boyf eat a Chicken Legend meal at Maccies while I...

You have done absolutely fabulously!!! Just take it a week at time and see what happens. This should really spur you on though!! Nice one!! Hope I do well - off for my weigh-in in an hour!

Treats are good. I've got a choccy face mask on at the mo. Will be good for my skin and sniffing it is helping my food cravings!!

That's a fab loss - hope I do as well as you tomorrow!

Hi peeps, Thanks for the support and advice. Randomly I did have a peppermint tea last night and felt a lot better. Had a fair bit of water too. Had a really good sleep last night too, so that has been good for me. I have always comforted myself with food and I know it's meant to be hard -...

Not a good day! Had a break for Easter but been back on TFR all week. Was feeling fine till today and then have had really dodgy belly - will spare you the details!! Been quite dizzy too - has anyone else had this? Feeling icky still, it's Saturday night and my fella is out at a full-on 3...

I've had a dream before that I cheated and had chinese takeaway and felt soooooo guilty that I was cross with myself for a bit when I woke up!! Lol

I would say do the refeed and enjoy things properly! Otherwise you may end up doing things half-heartedly and get fed up of the whole thing. Then go back to TFR afterwards with renewed motivation. Good luck!

I just drink a ton of water when I get the rumbles. Although I haven't been so bad with them - think it is more the psychological grip that food has on me. I am the stereotypical comfort eater.

Thanks - thought I was being dopey!! Heheheh!!

Kelly - don't seem to have the thumbs-up thing - weird! Taylor - yeah, that's kind of why I'm doing the refeed then. Didn't tell anyone while I was on week 1. Had a few people who have kind of disapproved - got the old "slow and steady wins the race" thing. But know it's been the right...

Was also going to thank you for your message - but can't see where to do it!

Hi Kelly, Thanks for your support! Luckily I managed to stay strong and had lost 4 pounds when got to weigh-in - so that's 12 pounds in 2 weeks! So pretty pleased about that. Just started a refeed for Easter and had a chicken salad last night - nicest one ever! Gonna be as good as possible...

Hi, Sorry - I hope the title of this doesn't affect anyone else!! I'm on day 11 at the mo. This evening and yesterday evening I couldn't stop thinking of food!! I've been so good and not cheated once (even though a plate of leftover sandwiches from a meeting got put on my desk...

Well done - you have done a fab job!! xx

That's a brilliant first loss!!! I'm on day 3 today too and still struggling a bit, but this has made me see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Hi, Just on day3 of my LT journey and found this fab site last night. All the tips and comments are really useful. Now got a list of things to go buy to make sure I am successful. Felt quite tired yesterday and felt like I had a hangover this morning!! But that has passed and am just excited...
