I do wear exactly the same shirt and trousers every weigh in night!

Try Baking Paper, much more forgiving that greaseproof paper. Are the cakes nice??

He He, I know its Mental, its something I started when I did lighterlife 6 years ago and its now folowed me into SW.

Am I deluding myself my not eating 'normally' on weigh in day, I dont deprive myself but at the same time dont drink lots of tea or water when I am getting weighed in, no more that I would want to carry a few bottles of water in my pocket when standing on the scales. I think thats the norm but...

Glad to see that it's working for you Nat. Keep it up.

Good luck with it. I too am in the same boat, the truth about me is that I am a serial excuse maker and tend to give up on things. I need a bit of self hard love, the amount of times I have looked in he mirror and called myself names, pulled up of going out as nothing fitted, for me weight loss...

Dont give up soo soon. It lloks like you ahev only been doing it for one week. Think that at least you havent put anything on. I understand how you feel, when you read soo many success storeies in here you have the mindset that it will be the exact same for you. Give it some time. I play golf...

Great start though Nat, keep it up!

is that another 3 1/2 since the weigh in/

Between 2: Tin of beans 6 rashers of bacon fat rremoved tin of potatoes fried in frylight mushroons 4 eggs tomatoes all free allegedly!

Hey Rosie, sorry to hear about the franchise thing, I am not sure how it all works but no doubt the SW folk like to make some money on it and the tax man certainly enjoys his cut. That being said it doesnt have to be all about money, if you can make a little and share with the guys and girls who...

Just joining the 20 room. Hope your well.

It's hi an bye guys, had a great first week taking me into the 20's. see you there soon.

So the end of the first week on EE, and mixed results, I lost 7.5 lb and Mrs Bigmeeky lost half a pound, all on EE, we ate like kings. Mrs BM isn't too happy but it's a loss right. there you go Nat, must be something in it.. good luck

precisely, you don't go from a quivering wreck who cant have a few mealworms dropped on you to sticking your head in a small box with snakes, roaches and all those other nasties. something going on there methinks!

I can't help you as I am new to the plan. I can however commend you on sticking with this for 22 weeks, that's great dedication, keep it up, that's fantastic particularly if you aren't having the best time on it.

Thanks very much for that. Great tips. Can't wait to have a go at that.

Thanks Broxi. I have to confess the first time I did lighter life I just loved it. Weight dropped off, I found it incredibly easy and in 14 weeks I lost 6 and a half stone. In reality it clearly wasn't the best plan for me, this does look great and as you quite rightly say it might take 4 times...

Thanks very much. Give him my very best regards. 1lb,1 week for 1 year and we will be Mr Slinky if such a thing exists. I get weighed in tomorrow so lets see how it goes. ttfn

Any nice SW friendly oxtail recipes out there! heres hoping as I bought something the size of a dragons tail at Brixton market yesterday.......:)

Iam in the same, a lifelong male dieter wo finds himself heavier than ever. I have in the past been a very successful VLCD participant who successfully put it all on. Sitting here with my wife discussing as it look like my weight loss in the first week of Sw isn't marvellous but there again as...

What's your verdict on EE?

I always find classes help the motivation. Don't be frightened I'm a newbie to and I can assure you here is nothing more scary for a man than to go to a slimming class!

Oh yes and isn't it amazing what make up does?

Can't be helping her career surely, would you hire her?

I failed without tryin, didn't do a thing........... But I did give it 100% what a crock!

Great stories folks keep up the good work

Some amazing weight loss here. I am yet another vlcd dieter who lost loads and put it all on again with a little interest. So here I am 21 stone 6 ready for another go at being normal. Perhaps this more conventional approach to dieting (eating food!) will be my answer. Still amazed that you can...

Supeb Thanks for taking time to capture your journey. I have been a VLCD weight oner and offer for years and am finally going to do something that involves real food and is likely to work for me. Your journey is honest, well done so far and keep up the good work. Your halfway there in less...

viewing pictures How do you view them, I cant see anything when I click on the link, am I still too junior a member??

13 for me please 13 down last week, thatll do nicely! :D

Keytosis :DI dont think your allowed flies until week 4, it will knock you out of keytosis....

doddle Hey, there are lots of ex LL here so welcome to the clan. Rob

Bars I know that on LL they like you to leave it a week to get into keytosis. I have had them from day one on this with no worries though. ta Rob

Racehorse LOL, very true. Sadly thats where the similarity ends!! Good luck

Exchanges Im sure someone has already thought this up but do people swap stuff (thinking swap shop here) if they arent keen on particular flavour or product?? Rob

New Strategy For me I had always thought that 20 stone was a trigger, I got there and then thought its got to go. People tell me I carry it well but its not the reality. A good weight for me is around 15 stone, at my ideal of 13st 3lb I look like Im dying!! What I need to try and do is...

Good Luck Completely agree, you should have tried the mens groups!! This site is more beneficial than any of the exercises I went through! Great people and lots of inspiration out there. Cheers Rob

Cheers Carrie Carrie, thanks for that. Im sure LLL will be brilliant for you. I cant resist the scales, ironically as I am piling the weight on I dont tend to look at them too often, only when its coming back off. Mug eh lol!!

Well Done Great positive start, you will be amazed at this diet, all the VLCD are like the worlds best kept secret. Well maybe the second best kept secret, I dont know the first otherwise I would be able to keep the weight off!!:o

KETOSIS I always know when Im keytosis, my wife tells me! I agree with earlier posts I am an ex lighterlifer and it was about three days before it kicked in. I started this diet on Monday and I'm sure by Tuesday I was there! No Hunger......sint it a truly amazing feeling (not that Im sure I...

Fanks Cheers, I know the weigt drops in the first couple of days, thats the great thing about vlcd! 69 to go!

I've been a naughty boy:(:( I told myself I wouldnt stand on the scales until next Monday as I only started on Monday last (three full days ago). I told myself I should'nt do it and I should'nt, but I did. 10lb gone, I love the first week of VLCD, the motivation is high, there are instant...

me what did i win??:p

moi c'est moi!

well done Well done mate, great effort to come back.....

Everything will be grand Hey there, did you know that 8lb of 55 is more than 15% of the way there, thats brilliant...... Ex's are ex's for a good reason, think about new things to be done and people to meet, not what happened in the past......:D

Cheers Calgon Hey there, I'm 20st 9 want to get down to 15ish, thats still over my BMI but a good weight for me (I have a whole wardrobe of clothes upstairs from my slimmer days through LL). Im ok when I get into these things, like I said its the all or nothing, feast or famine mentality...

First Strawberry shake. Thats not bad at all!! Slightly sour taste almost yoghurty, very smooth though not lumpy as I have experienced with some things. Having done the LL thing in the past I know the journey is long and one Strawberry Shake does not a small Meeky make but at least the first...

Thanks all Im looking forward to it, part of my feast or famine, all or nothing nature. The community here seems very very supportive, thanks folks. Only 11 more posts and I can stick a picture up of previous before and after and current long after! all the best Rob

Serving Sizes Thats interesting, the serving sizes are 51g compared to the LL (and Cambridge?) 32g. The things that you become interested in! Rob

Well folks, here we go, the bumper pack arrived this morning. Day 1 has arrived!! Wish me well! Rob

Cheers Lauren Thanks for the support folks. Lauren nice to see your married to a Mick Guard, I spent a short time in the same place when they where in Chelsea Barracks before the Berlin tour of 1990. Small world eh. Quis separabit Rob McM

what days do you weigh in?? Can you let me know what day is weigh in day folks?? Pleeaasseee cheers Rob

Certainly not alone Its peculiar, I got down to a 14st 7lb 5 years ago and looked, well, "normal", normal in the sense that I could go into any shop and buy a 36" waisted trouser. When "normal" I still felt fat, was told I was boring (by my wife) because the larger than life character had...

Hey Good luck, I am your gang, done it before got the t shirt (but the T shirt is nowhere near fitting now!!) Ill keep an eye out and cheer your successes if you will be so kind as to do the same for me. We can do this!! Rob McM

Hey folks, found this site as going alone this time, have LL in the past to great effect but struggled when dabbling again. After a period on Google found Exante so going to give it a go. Look forward to the odd yarn and read about all your successes which I hope will inspire me, Im sure they...
