Day 8 and first WI So the good news first.... Wi results......... -11Lb Which im really please with I suspect it could have been better however on day 7 i caved in and succumbed to my totm carb cravings :( Still Im past day 7 should be past my totm cravings and aches so its back on the wagon...

Well day six And its a bath and an early night tonight, Mother Nature has paid an unexpected visit so fingers crossed it doesnt mess up my first WI on Saturday or I will offically sulk!! Had the mac cheese today and wasnt overly impressed, Ill have to get in some cauli or broccoli before I...

Fantastic result well done!

And its day 5! Thanks Sukie! Made it through the work day without any blips :) Just had my spag bol for dinner and it was delicious, the packs are so much better than anticipated. Im not sure if im finding the VLCD easier to do this time because my head is in the right place or because the...

bloomin well done on resisting the BBQ and the cream tea!!

*waves* well day four is almost done and dusted, i think tomorrow is going to be the real challenge as its back to work which would normally mean eating a load of junk during the day. The plan for tomorrow is: crunchy shake for brekki tuna and a bar for lunch spah bol for tea lets see how...

just started as well Debs, found the first few days much easier than anticipated so hopefully you will too :)

well thats day three done and dusted, I had the chilli last night and it actual looked and tasted good :) On wards and downwards to day four. Im actually feeling really positive about this diet as on previous attempts to do a vlcd, i would have cheated or the packs would have been making me...

Hi guys thanks for the well wishes and encouragement Well day two is swiftly comming to an end and so far all is well, I stuck to the programme and am feeling pretty good. The meals and shakes Ive tasted so far are better than I was anticipating :) I think the best idea i had tho was starting...

Hello me (and anyone else who's reading) I've been a serial dieter for longer than I care to remember and recent abortive attempts have included both LL and CD, generally speaking i found the packs on those to programmes to be vile! Why then am I embarking on yet another VLCD? SnS has some...

I'm with you I intend to stay 100% I can understand why people cheat but it isnt an option for me and I will not be doing it. I will of course continue to read the main forum and so will come across cheat, blips, wobbles whatever BUT It will be good to have a place to chat where I know that...

I started my journey proper (previous failed attempts) on the 1st June and Im committed to staying 100% SS until i reach target which is at least 5 1/2 stone away.....it might be more but i have no idea what i will look and feel like at that point. Here's to us staying 100% on track and...

Hello fellow Febbers, Thought I would try and get this thread back to the land of the living. I have been much better this week (wk 4) than I was in wk 2 and Im hopping to see a good loss when i go to my meeting tomorrow. So far due to my cheating my Lil tortoise (I think I'll call him...

Welcome Hey Lou wlcome to LL and Mini's the first week can be a bit trying but once you get into the groove things should settle down. The one piece of advice i would give is if you are tempted to cheat/have an event really think about if its worth it in the long term. I had a flaqky second...

The proof is in the pudding A cheat is definetly not worth it. I was a bit hit n miss with the whole programme last week and as a result at my weigh in on Friday I had put on a pound. Well that gave me the real kick in the butt I needed to get my mind in synch with LL too. This Friday...

Hi Nicoli, My weigh day is a Friday so the day of truth is tomorrow....... Hiya Shellycat, hope things are going well so far, the first week is the hardest I believe as once you get into a routine its not so bad. If however you are like me and wobble gettign back into the routine is...

Welcome nicoli Good luck for your weigh in Im sure you will have done really well :D The power of positive thinking! I can do it on behalf of others but fail miserably when it comes to myself :P

Congratulations Well done Kat, that cake is fantastic. :)

hi ya Stellios and ShweetThang welcome to Feb :) I had my first official meeting on Friday and am down 4lb from my official start weight. The tortoise is on the move! I think im finally gettign into the swing of things and am looking forward to the weeks to come ......

Keeping quiet Hi there, I have to admit that I dont intend to tell anyone unless it becomes unavoidable. For me this is a quiet time of year socially so that helps but if I need to go to an event where im expected to eat i may have to invent an excuse rather than coming clean. I find...

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the encouragement. Day three and all is well, except the groove im wearing in the carpet between my desk and the toilets.:rolleyes:

Looks as though people have either kick started there resolutions in January or are prevaricating for a little longer. I will be championing February as the best month to start, Christmas and New year are well over and there isnt really anythign significant on the horizon. It makes...

Howdy folks, As you can see from my details Ive been lurking here for a while now and have had a couple of abortive attempts at LL. But Feb 2010 is my month!!! This time its on and its for real! Started again on Monday the first and my meetings are going to be on a Friday. I managed day...

Hi Onlyme, I have just restarted LL after two false starts. when I originally started the programme in Jan 08 I felt very much as you do now, so much so that in fact I stopped the programme after only a week. Its very unusual for me to get ill so I think that intensified how bad I was feeling...

Hello fellow Octoberites Hi, I'd like to sign up as an October starter... Well officially I was a January starter but had to go away for 6 months with work so kinda stalled but Im back and raring to go. I lost a stone and a half previously but still have a bit to shift. My weigh ins are going...

First off an apology for reviving such a smutty thread:D I have one of the Ijoy Rides, it arrived on Friday, and was wondering how you were getting on with your machine. Mine has the 4 settings, warm up. light, med, full. Ive been using it on warm up & med but dont really feel it in my...

Oh FYM. I know just how you're feeling. I too have been eating this week. Im blaming it on TOTM carb cravings which threw me off the wagon, they were so unexpected and strong and then once I'd caved I couldn't/didnt stop. I made a concious decision that after my WI tonight I would draw a line...

Hehe I learnt to ride a bike a few months ago at 35, havent regreted a second of it. Im with BL tho, it would be nice to look a bit more slender in my leathers :D

Thanks LS, I was well chuffed!

We had a little lesson on how to make crips today from both the soup packs and the banana one. Im not fond of the savoury but banana was ok and will make the nice occasional change from custard :D Im actually looking forward to week two now (taking it week at a time)

WOOT Well its day 6 and I cant tell you what a difference this experience has been compared to the week I did last January. I have had no side effects at all!!!!! Zero Zip Zilch Nada Nothing!!! :party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049: Ive tried most of the packs but not...

Congrats Rachiie so pleased you've got your start date!

mmm just had 1/2 of a peanut bar before I head into a meeting (prevent the tummy rumbles) and its quite nice. Its a bit moreish tho but I have to save the other half till after my meeting else I'll regret if when people start getting their lunches out

Hehe I had a couple of their underbust corsets delivered last week. Hopefully they will be too big soon but Im not buying anything else till Im at goal then I going to hammer the plastic for a new wardrobe :8855:

Oh TD glad your feeling a bit calmer, once you get going on Thurs/Fri you'll wonder what all the nerves were about

Yummy just tried a chocolate and vanilla pack mixed. Half as a Muffin and half as custard, was delicious can see me having that alot. My muffin texture still needs some work tho Lol

Oh I'll be going for the drop in I need to get rid of these soups and swap them for shakes, tomorrow I can start trying the bars too which works out nicely as it means I can take a bar into work for lunch and not worry about mixing.

Yehaw day two done a dusted, had a little wobble but didnt break, so yay me! Now onto day three and this morning I have metallic mouth which bodes well for being in ketosis, my drop in is tomorrow so will be able to confirm then. I waivering over whether or not I want to get weighed tomorrow...

Congrats those that have had their first drop in you're all doing really well. Westie, I got new thermals for xmas for when Im on my motorbike but I think they'll get more use while Im doing LL :D

Hehe I managed to redeem myself and make umm I suppose you'd call it banana dough, I dont think I got the muffin mix quite right but it was warm and best of all solid. I think the physical sensation of eating is what I am going to miss most doing this

Oh my that was a close call, I tried to make some Thai chilli crisps and they smelt absolutely vile, I couldnt bear to taste one (I use my nose alot when deciding if I think Ill like something), next thing I know Ive put a chicken curry in the microwave...........:eek: But all is not...

I dont watch much TV generally so dont have Sky, Ive been watching to distract myself but food keeps appearing, its not that Im hungry or even particulary want food I just feel a need to chew. Hmm I could crunch on ice cubes :D

Why oh why are there so many advertise involving food on the TV, its staggering!

Day One Well one day down and I survived! I had Strawberry Gloop for breakfast (Not thick enough to be mousse but too thick to be a shake :D) Tomato soup for lunch with a dash of tobasco. I actually quite like this which surprised me as I normally hate tomato soup with a passion. A...

Woohoo first meeting done and I weigh less than I thought already ;D The ladies in my group are a mix of new starters and restarters so we have some experience to draw upon to help us along which I think will be a benefit. So I'm all armed with my packs and have bought some water flavourings...

Oh god 1/2 an hour till I leave for my first meeting and Im getting really nervous and panicky. Its silly really cos I know pretty much whats going to happen tonight so I should be all 'Zen' like

Today is my last day of eating for a while and I had no 'last supper' of any kind planned...... I did however have to go out for a meeting today and in the lobby of the building was a Coffee Shop, I have just finished a Grande White Hotchocolate and I savoured every sip, it was beginning to...

So Im getting a little twitchy about doing LL now and I think it’s the waiting that’s getting to me. Im not normally a patient person anyway but when its something I really want I can be an absolute brat if made to wait. Strangely though I don’t ever have burning desire to peek at my xmas...

Hello ladies, It sounds as all the new starters have had a good first meetings whilst the rest of us are chomping a the bit to get going (I cant help the eating reference :8855:) I've ordered myself two of the kenwood frothy hot/cold drink makers, one for home and one for work as I read...

Ok Ive tried typing this post several times now changing my mind about what to say, what tone to set etc etc and just when I thought I nailed it, I tried to preview it and the forum had logged me out and eaten my painstakingly crafted prose. Im now typing this in word and will rely on good ole...

Sooo Jealousy Just wanted to wish all the Monday starters well for their first meeting, Im sure most of you are a little nervous but so will everyone else in your group be. Keep smiling and let us know what you think of your first few packs. I'm soooo jealousy I cant wait till Thursday !!

Hehe drinking loads of water is the easiest part for me as I have always done it, my little change it that area will be to try and remember to drink it chilled rather than at room temp. Not sure if the whole 'cold water is better than warm' is accurate or not but every little helps :D

chatted with my counsellor today and am feeling much more positive about restarting, Im just getting the odd jitters now and then about whether or not I'll be ill again. Still I know what to expect and Ive stocked up on pain killers so hopefully this time will be different, I've just been...

Woot just spoken to my counsellor and she has a group starting on the 8th of Jan and I'm in. I can now officially add myself to the list :party0011: Louale - 5th Jan - Week 0 - 0lb - 6.5 stones loss Somewhere... - 5th Jan - Week 0 - 0lb -10 stones loss Carl - 5th Jan - Week 0 - 0lb - 3 stone 9...

Lo again EmVeg, Im slowly working my way through some of the recent posts, hoping to settle into the forums before I start scaring people with my weeping and wailing about how difficult it all is :D

Count me in , even though Im still waiting for a LL start date! I'd best jump on the scales in the morning to get a start weight :eek: Annaphylactic - 25lbs - lost 0lbs so far! Bekimo - 28lbs - Lost 0lbs so far Blonde Logic - 7 lbs -Lost 0lbs so far daisydoll - 24lbs - Lost 0lbs so far...

*Big Wave* Hiyas,:cupid: Not sure yet if Im going to be a January starter or not, I really hope so! I have emailed my local councillor and am waiting to hear back, I suppose hoping for a response on New Years eve is probably a bit optimistic but hey I need to think positive about all the...

Hi there, thanks for all the kind words of welcome and support. I do feel I failed and I wont whitewash it, I just need to accpet it, recognise why it didnt work and move forward with determination and willpower! Does anyone know where i can buy some willpower, it is sale time afterall...

Ok, Im resurrecting this post after 12 months to admit to complete and abject failure and to give myself a kick in the butt. I started LL last Jan (08) and was very ill during the first week, I couldnt go to work and felt dreadful all the time. I decided that possible LL wasnt really for me...

Yippee! Its day three and Im feeling fine, was a bit worried about this as it seems that a few people start to feel rough about now but so far Im going strong. Holding firmly onto my wooden desk I can say I have no headache no nausea etc and Im so relieved. This is sooooo going to work for...

Welcome Casey! There seem to be a few new starters here recently, can't possible have anything to do with it being January, have a browse around a settle in. Im on day 2 and find this board really great for touching base and focusing myself ;) :tear_drop: :tear_drop: :tear_drop...

Yesterday I was making sure there was a 2L bottle of water by my side and I was swigging as and when. Today I still have the 2l bottle by me but I am pouring it into a glass to drink. Ive discovered that I drink much more doing it this way.

Hmm thats interesting reading and I think contains a grain of truth. Trying to live up to other peoples expectations is always going to be a struggle as no two people are alike or have the exact same perspective on issues. I think I too will aim to have an average day!

and on to day 2.. all things considered things went very well yesterday and I wasnt really tempted by anything, even the caramel shortbread my sister accidently waved under my nose So its onwards and upwards (except the weight) from here

Morning Blonde Second day here and woke up feeling positive, well into my first litre of water and have battled with a caramel shake!

thanks lilac At the moment im spacing my packs at the same time as I would have eaten normally to see how that works out for me, the only addition is Im having a breakfast pack which is a meal Ive always missed out before (I know I know its the most important one :P)

Ah quick question, I have some orange lip balm and Im wondering if tis ok to use? I dont deliberately eat it but it is on my lips..... It may be safe just to get some vanilla or coconut instead?

so the first day has started, So far I have tried the vanilla shake which I can see being a regular in my packet choice and a chicken soup. The soup is ok but will probably only make an occassional appearance unless I find the crisps tasty. Have decided that I will try each sachet in all...

Todays the day, I have my first meeting late afternoon. Im a little nervous about meeting the other ladies in my group but can wait to get started on the actual programme. I've started drinking my 4ls of water a day, finding it fairly easy to do. Today however Im trying to drink it as early...

Thats amazing Blonde well done!! Have my first meeting tonight will soon be armed with a ticker and my packs, now off to buy a smoothie maker :)

Thanks for all the welcoming comments all :) Blonde - have been reading your posts with interest as you are jsut a couple of days ahead, looks like you have an amazing attitude which will keep you strong. Im goign into this with my eyes wide open and hope that I can laugh at myself along...

Well its official I have had my initial chat with my LLC who appears to be a lovely lady (Phew) and the Dr signed my forms for me today without any problems. I was a little worried about going to the Docs but thankfully she already knew about the programme so I didnt have to do a lot of...
