Hi Miss Vampie I missed the bucket, it was on the Left!!:jelous: I've had trouble going since the beginning, people say to drink lots of water, which makes no difference to me what so ever, because there is no rufidge going in, there's none coming out, which makes it nai on impossible to go...

Hi Thornhill Cate I'm 5.7, and not at all shapely, my arms and legs have always been skinny, my boobs are huge 38G, but do go down a bit when i'm slim to about a DD/E so not much,:( all of my weight goes on to my Tummy, i don't have any hips or Bottom i'm really Top Heavy. which is probably how...

Hi Buy Bigun Well it didn't offend me, i did it alot in the beginning, purely out of habit. popping bits of this and that in my mouth when cooking, realising what i'd done and then spitting into the bin. i know that food can be the Devils work. but arent we all grown ups and responsbile for our...

Hi Geraldine Yes you can get them from the Pharmacy, you'll need to find out which Pharmacy does LT, there are several people on here who are in Ireland they may know, it's cheaper here in London, you may find someone near you, who might swap the ones that you don't like, you never know, get a...

Hi Geraldine Yes you do need to have as much choice on this diet as possible, as it is so restricted and boring, if i lived anywhere near you i'd swap some of mine with you, have you tried the flapjacks? i quite like the Peanut ones. well i say like, they are preferable to starvation LOL. when...

Ah i'm delighted for you Jewel, and to go on holiday and stay on LT. your made of Touch Stuff Girl, good for you have a Great week Sam:)

Hi Geraldine Please don't carve in now, once you get the first weigh in over and see the reward for your efforts, it will get easier. So no more sweets, i can promise you that even the smallest cheat can wreck your whole week ...i know.... a few weeks ago i caved in, and ate my sons left over...

Hi Louise1000 In brief, Lipotrim is a total food replacement, very low caloeie diet that is prescribed by a parmacist for people who are obese, if you google Lipotrim you will be able to watch a video telling you all about how it works i'm not an expert, what i would say is research it, and take...

Well done Yeye, you look Sensational! keep it up Sam

Hello everyone I didn't get weighed this week as i had spent last week (half term week) in Bournemouth with the family, so had the week off, Shocking i know !!! I'm back on track since Saturday, and have lost the 3lbs that i gained whilst there, so i set myself back by a week, but it was worth...

I Claire No thankfully i was at home, witnessed by the diet police, (my 8 year son) who keeps on eye on my eating habits "should you be having that mummy when your on a diet" anyway he thought it was very funny, LOL

Hi Guitar Hero Well done, don't forget to take measurements, and if you can a before photo, to look back on. i took mine in the mirror, it's a wonder it didn't shatter, (not pleasant) you're on an exciting journey now, so keep the memorabilia, that way you'll never revisit your old self Sam:)

That's a funny old craving!:)

Thank you Everyone for your support:):):)

Hi Everyone Lost 3lbs this week So i'm Happy, my trousers fell down yesterday, what a Great feeling!!! nearly 2 stone off, so all's Good with me, apart from emptying a Strawberry shake into hot water, instead of a Chicken soup,i had to wait until it was luke warm, and neck it Yuck!! Have a Good...

Hi Buttacup I know it's Hell !!! but it's got to be done, i'm about half way, i've excepted that i can't have any food, so have stopped going to the fridge to have a look, i'm busy wishing my life away waiting for weigh in day, shocking isn't it. still it won't be for ever Short and sharp. get...

Good Girl!!!

Hi Macabar Thank you, are you starting soon? Sam

Hello All I lost 3lbs this week, so i'm very pleased 22 lbs off, i now weigh 12.4 I started at 13.12 Sam:)

Hi kelly, I haven't told any of my friend except one, because i just don't want to hear them all saying that i'm mad to do it, and that i'll damage my health. so, as far as they're concerned i'm going to WW, i feel bad to have to lie to them, but it's for the best, i know that they are well...

Hiya Look it could have been worse, you could have eated the whole pie, so step away from the pie incident and soldier on Sam:)

Hi Hjc The thing that works for me is to have skimmed milk in my tea and coffee, it's the only cheat that i have, and it helps me to stay with it, i don't know that i've ever been in ketosis, but have lost 3/4lb a week which is about 1 stone per month, so i'm happy with that, for me the option...

Fantastic weight loss, well done and keep it up!! Nice ticker by the way Sam:)

Hi Trose I've had two days of feeling really crappy, up to this point it's been plain sailing apart from the hunger, i hope that i feel better tomorrow, i suppose that near starvation takes it's toll, Sam:)

Thank you Sandra This photo was taken 3 years ago, with my Beautiful daughter Lily when she was age 2 i don't know how i managed to get it on the wrong side of the page though, mind you it did take several attempts, so i'll leave it where it is Sam:)

Hi Kate I'm absolutley DELIGHTED for you!!!! Keep going Sam:)

Thank you girls!! i will do all of the suggested. and stick with it, i don't want to have come this far, and have to quit now, i need to be in the 11's before that happens, looking forward to Friday weigh in, hopefylly i won't have to crawl there in my knees Sam:)

Hi All Today whilst waiting in hospital for my husband to have his knackers off ( i can say this as i will probably never meet any of you) i suddenly felt faint, my hearing went muffled and i really thought that i was going to pass out, i had to sit down of course my hubby thought that i was...

Hey chuck, Blimey, still going Great Guns!!!! well done you. keep it up Sam

Hi watchmeshrink It's such a shame to have stretch marks at such a young age, i've got them mind you i'm 45 and have had two children, the only thing to do with stretchmarks is to except them!!! as you loose weight they will appear more silver, and less red, no amount a lotion or so called...

Hey Kate, What a Fantastic 4 weeks, 2 stone WOW, it's Amazing what can be achieved with a bit of determination, keep it up, Summers on it's way Sam.:)

Hi Sandra, it's a difficult one isn't it, do you go down a bit further and have that 1/2 stone leway, and risk the chicken neck, or stop now, i look forward to that dilemma, Sam Mmmm that was a tasty digit, only kidding the boys still got 10 fingers

Oh how funny!!!! it didn't look right when i wrote it, yes i am very hungry, but wouldn't eat my son, there isn't enough meat on him, he's far too skinny, but i do have a Lovely chubby 5 year old daughter, now theres food for thought, i hope Esther isn't a member on here LOL Sam:)

Hi David, look you ate out of shear hunger, that's understandable. this is without doubt the most severe diet going, so no one can condemn you for that, if you had stuffed yourself with chocolate and gone on the fridge rampage, then it would have been far worse!!! so don't beat yourself up...

Mine is every Friday night, which is takeaway night at our house, usually Chinese, or sometimes Curry, always washed down with 2/3 bottles of wine, a good movie, and a good old laugh, obviously i've put a stop to all that,.... well.... if i can't have it, then hubby can't either, and he doesn't...

Hi cookeh Well done, to stay so focused, especially having switched diets, the temptation to cave in most be high, keep up the good work, i'm off to boogle 90lbs on the weight convertor link now, Sam:)

Hi Sandra I agree, can't think of anything worse than looking like 1/2 a pound of scrag end!! i'm 45 in March, iv'e never weighed more than 14 stone, and don't have any saggy skin, except for my tum (2 kids) my face is that of a 45year old Grrr.... 20 odd years of dragging on fags, hasn't helped...

H Sandra Yes it could have been worse, and i'm thankfull that it wasn't, i'm just so annoyed with myself, i reckon that i'm about half way, although i would like to 10.7, ideally, so thought that i would see how i look at 11, if not too haggard looking then go to 10.7, i can't say that is gets...

Some how i managed to mix up the weeks, having looked back at the weeks on LT, i see that i am on week 10 not 9 so had 4 weeks off over christmas,(i thought it was a particularly good one) Is a left over cold Fishfinger and a few skinny chips enough to rein an entire weeks work? YES IT IS so...

Hi Sera marie Don't feel too bad, you're not alone, i buggered up my weight loss this week, and i wasn't ill and in need of food, it was my son's left over fishfinger that did it. oh and the few chips, i can't believe that i did it the day before getting weighed, talk about a death wish!!! i...

Ok.... i'm scaring myself now!! Sam:)

Depressing isn't it !!! i so know what you mean, i'd like to have a reduction but don't have the courage, maybe one day, thank god for descent bras!!! and thank god i don't live in a bare chested African trib, OMG WHAT A THOUGHT!!! Sam:)

That's Great news, so we'll be seeing more of you on here, or should i say less!! Sam

Hi curveygirlclaire The only thing that stopped me was, that my boobs would have hit the floor LOl

Hi Charl x i am fairly new to thing VLCD thing, i started before christmas lost 5 in week i and 5 in week 2, then stuffed at christmas and put 7 on, restarted in January and lost 8 the first week (mostly fluid) i'm loosing between 3-4 a week, of pure blubber!!! which is a Great feeling, just...

Hi Cookeh Well done on your weight loss, God i have'nt been in the 11's for years either, i look forward to it ..... hopefully that will be sometime in March, sorry to hear that you are having such a crappy time, we all feel the need to let off a bit of steam sometimes, when life shits on us...

Blimey Chuck you're going Great Guns!!!!! Keep it up :D:D:D:D:D:D Sam

Hi Jacko I wish that i had an answer for you, like others have said, now is the time to indulge yourself, and i don't mean with food, have a think about how to reinvent yourself, a change if image, address your weight, at a time like this (regardless of who left who) you need to be as confident...

Hi Lolakelly Me too, i always get weighed empty and take a shake with me, i also wear the lightest clothes possible, i wore linen trousers last week,it was freezing, i would have frozen my knackers off, if i had any!! i was going to take the underwires out of my bra, but thought that was a bit...

Hi yum yum WOW that is an incredible start, well done you,keep it up Sam:)

Hi Jewel You're doing Great girl!! don't panic about what might happen, remember that the initial loss is fluid, so a higher loss is usual, you're getting down to the meat now!!! and every lb off is a plus, i'm new to VLCD too, and wishing my life away waiting for Fridays weigh in, what you...

Thank you my Sweet!! Sam:)

Hi Moomoo I very much doubt it, as your slip up is fairy minor, i'm sure that it won't matter, apparently there is a small carb window before you get into ketosis, if that makes sense, i'm still having milk in my tea and coffee, controversial i know, but it works for me, not that i'm suggesting...

Hi All Week 8 weigh in, and 4lb off :D:D:D:D Have a Great week

Hi Cuddles, fingers crossed!!! when i feel that i just can't go on and think of caving in, what i do is grab ahold of a big chunk of tummy blubber and give it a shake, and say out loud, "i won't eat until i have got through all of this" as in used up all of the spare tyre around my middle I know...

Hi Cuddle, you know that there are still 3 days left (depending on what time you get weighed on the 7th day) alot can happen in that time!!!, don't be disheartened, i bet you'll have a pleasant suprise when you do get weighed, Keep at it Sam:)

Yes more ticker trouble, I tried to update my ticker,(by clicking on it) i entered my pin number, but it wouldn't except it, so i tried to set up another ticker, it looked as though it was working (although there wasn't a save information button to press), so when i went back into my signiture...

Thank you Mirjam, kezzerbelle, Kelly and Jez, How are you all getting on?, good i hope Sam

Thank you Soph and Shaz, for your encouraging words, you know i'm starting to see a smaller me, i've lost one of my chins (whoop whoop) and even though like most of us i have to cook for my hubby and 2 kiddies, i'm actually able to resist picking, i have done a bit of tweeking (which i know...

Hello Everyone Got weighed yesterday and lost 3lb:) 1 stone down, 2 to go, maybe 3 looking forward to the coming week (not) Sam:)

Hey irish Molly Good advise, but how about the spoonful of sugar, to help the medicine go down!!! don't suppose thats allowd :mad: Sam

Bless you cookeh, some sound advise there, i'll keep myself in check and stay with the (white) kind of contraband, Take care, Sam

Hi Jayne Thank you for your reply, I am one of those people who given a little bit of what i like, wil go totally mad and stuff everything, which is why LT is good for me, at this stage i can't be trusted with food!! i do understand what you have said regarding the extra protein in the milk...

Thank you again cookeh I wasn't going to confess to the milk, for fear of giving out the message that it's ok to cheat, we are all different and cope in different ways, some people can just get their heads down and power ahead, others like me need to just get through, so thank you for not...

Thank you cookeh That makes a lot of sense, i haven't given up milk in tea and coffee, in every other aspect i'm sticking to it, if i can enjoy a cuppa then i can cope with this deprevation, and it is working for me, the ketose test sticks show that since starting LT i haven't been in ketosis,(...

You know i do wonder about the ketosis thing, i understand the concept of ketosis being a by product of burning body fat, but if you are on a VLCD like LT and having ony 424 calories per day, and the daily reccommended intake is 2,000 calories, then the deficit is 1,576, which your body takes...

Amanda you Rock!!!!!!! Totally agree, Jesus had Bread and Fish(what a dish) hopefully you'll have something nicer, what ever you decide, have fun Sam

Thanks Sandra I'll have a read about Exante, i think that the extra calories may be worth it, have a Great week Sam

Hi Mandy Yes i tried making the mousse, but made a pigs ear of it, turned out a lumpy mess how do you make yours? Sam

I've said no to lots of social events that i would have loved to have gone to, it all depends on how important these things are to you, a night out with the girls, a romantic dinner, mmm not that bothered, but a Birthday/family event, is a diet breaker for me, it's all about personal choice. i...

Fantastic, well done. keep it up, imagine how you'll look and feel in a few months, Spring is on it's way :)

We done you, That's an Incredible start,

As a mater of interest, is exante a similar sort of diet? is it possible to switch between Lt and exante. it's not the hunger that is going to be the diet breaker for me, it's the lack of variety, not keen on the Vanilla, or choc, so i'm living on Strawberry shake, Chicken soup, and Peanut...

Hi Marie, Good for you, do something else, if you're anything like me, you wouldn't be able to sit in a restaurant full of delicious smells and eat a dry boring chicken breast, of course i would want a proper meal with wine etc etc.... men can be insensitive we all know that, (they think with...

Me too Sam ;)

What i do is, carve the cost of LT £35, off the cost of the weekly food bill. so we all have a little less of what we fancy. at least my hubby and kids can eat real food, unlike me, so no one had better complain, or else Sam

Thank you Girls for your replies, glad i'm not alone with my insomnia I also like to guess how much i'll weigh for certain future events, helps to keep me focused, i can't help trying on my slimmer clothes either, maybe that's why i can sleep toooo excited The Night Nurse was Fab! and didn't...

Mine is Friday

Hi Marie I don't know about forgetting about food, maybe you just get used to the empty feeling, the starvation feeling does get less, I try to drink Tea Coffee for as long as possible in the morning and hold off having my shake as long as poss, usually about 12.00 then lunch shake about 330/4...

PS i don't drink much water. but drink gallons of Tea with sweetner. and the odd coffee, week 1, i felt wretched, due to dehydration, drinking is vital, if you are to succeed!!!!!

Hi Mariecarri I'm also quite new to this, i got through the first 2 weeks lost 10lb, then had a good old stuffing over christmas, am now back at it, on day 6, i'm also Struggling, so i know how you feel, it's HELL just get through one day at a time, the thing to remember is that.... "it will...

Hi Debz, That makes sense, i do feel really wired!!i might have a dose of Night nurse tonight to knock me out, i get weighed tomorrow so hopefully i'll get away with it, haven't sleep properly since last Saturday, it's starting to get to me now, being snappy with the kids and Hubby,i'm not mrs...

Hiya scarybrush Looks like it might be related to LT, glad to know that i'm not alone, although i would'nt wish it on anyone, i worry that i'm keeping my hubby awake, he says i'm not, it's a long old night when you can't sleep, i would normally neck a few glasses of wine , but hay ho Wow 9lbs in...

Hiya Scarybrush Sounds like it maybe related, kinda glad that i'm not alone, although i wouldn't want to wish this on anyone, it does'nt help that i worry about keeping my hubby awake, he says that i'm not, it's a long old night when you can't sleep, i would normally neck a few glasses of wine...

I can't Sleep!!! since starting LT i just can't seem to be abe to switch my brain off, it's not the hunger that's stopping me sleeping... when i do eventually nod off, i wake up so many times, has anyone else had this problem? Apart from that i feel Great.... why i have so much energy i don't...

Thank you Sandra, i'll give it a go Sam

Thank you inge jones, Regards Sam

Thank you starlight for your reply," ok now i get it" Thank you Slimmer Sue, i'm going to try again and find where i posted to read your reply, i didn't take much notice of where it was, as i thought that i could see all of my previous posts, I understand why there are restrictions, yet don't...

Is it just me or is this site difficult to use. I'm trying to change my weight details, but have been unable to, as i don't have enough space on my signiture page due to not having made enough posts??? I posted yesterday asking for help/advise, i can't find my post to see if anyone has...

Thank you Chan and Paula, for your support it means alot!! I'm off on Hoilday in May, to see my sister who lives in Spain, by then i should be a page 3 stunner, i wish, roll on Friday when i get weighed, feels like i'm wishing my life away, have a good week Sam

hiya I get the breath strips from the pharmacist, £1,48 I'm off to see my sister in May she lives in Spain, about 10 mins from Benidorm, Good luck and stick with it Sam

I'm paying £35 a week, it was £30 before christmas, i am hoping that the expense will spur me on to get it over with quickly, and not dick about like i usually do, a little cheat here a little cheat there, Regards Sam

Hello can anyone explain how i can update my weight details each week. ive tried going into the, edit signiture option, but it says that i only have a certain amount of charactures to use? also my frofile details down the left hand side don't correspond with the right hand side, i don't know how...

Happy New Year Well i have had a Fantastic Christmas filled with all things good, i am now back on track! got weighed last Friday and have gained 7lb, so 7lb of the 10lb that i had originally lost back on , i totally deserve it having gone completely off the rails, It was soooo worth it, oddly...

Hi there Does anyone know of anything to flavour the dreaded water with? Sam:)

Hi lavida loca and Slimmersu Thank you for the warm welcome. i'm feeling more positive, having lost another 5lb at todays weigh in, so i'm Delighted, sorry i mean DELIGHTED!!!, i have said no to 3 christmas parties this week, i would normally have gone to all and eaten everything! and got...
