Arrgghh so much I want to reply to but I'm on my phone and can't see the messages... Knew my brain would turn to mush. Do this is just gonna be random sporadic replies to things. It definitely is just about making better choices... For example.. With the bagels, just have a half with low fat...

Wow Katie I hadn't thought about it like that! I realised that I'll only be in the 12s on my home scales as the pharmacist weighs me heavier. Which is really confusing!! But still to see 12s on the scales will be amazing :) Jen it won't be long til your in the 12s too hun, I can't believe how...

evening ladies :P Jen with regards to the saggyness.. im terrified. Like I said yesterday im already gutted at what the hell has happened to my boobs. And i had a hideous, stretchmark covered belly from pregnancy too. Im fingers crossed for an NHS tummy tuck and im tempted to go on...

Ha ha im a total tom boy too cham.. i dont even wear make up. But I can feel myself getting a bit more girly and although will be unlikely to wear dresses (unless they are really gothy and alternative ha ha) Im definately feeling more inclined to do myself up a bit. I actually straightened my...

Hey girlies :D well I didnt cave... that was the hardest struggle so far though. But i feel great today and feel like iv conquered another hurdle. As silly as sharing an egg seems, thats how desperate I felt. But it would have been such a stupid thing to do. On the subject of eating til ya...

Thankyou everyone!! Randomly all that obsessive thinking about food disappeared as quickly as it came. I think I just MISS food, but I miss being confident more! And that realisation kicked me up the arse. It really is mind over matter and it's all about controlling the thoughts as opposed to...

Hey chammypoos.. WHY HAVENT YOU UPDATED YOUR SIGNATURE YET??!!!! he he. How you doing today sweet? I couldnt agree more, having each other totally makes this possible.. iv had such a tough day today and iv come here and instantly feel reconnected to my support and feel so much better :) hope...

Well I aint been in the 12s since before I had my daughter 4 years ago so i just can wait to see 12 something on the scales!! Iv only just left the 14s behind me this week so it may take me a few weeks to get there. But wow this diet is amazing cuz you know your gonna get there. Know what u mean...

Lol I think that's what we call FECKING AUTOCORRECT!! Lol... Cham check out 'damnyouautocorrect' dot com.... So funny and anyone with an iPhone can so relate!! I agree about new stone brackets! I won't fully feel the tri awesomeness of LT until I hit the 12s though cuz I was 13.3 last July...

Wow loz... I'm totally shocked!! You really do look in your late twenties! Flippin hell lol. And Cham dunno what ur cryin about!!! You look bloody young too! No way old enough to have an 18 yr old kid!! Wow Katie that's a lot of sit ups ha ha! I can't do any. The bottom vertebrae of my spine...

hey david :) what an enlightening post.. I hadnt even really considered the fact that I had maybe become a little TOO complacent and now that I think about it, maybe I have become too 'in the groove'. Well done for staying 100%, I truly do think though that if we can go a month without cheating...

lol i hate being lazy, but i hate doing stuff lol. I walk my daughter to nursery in the morning which is all bloody hills, then I come home and sit on my arse until I have to pick her up again at 3 lol. SOOOOO LAAAZZZYY. and its gotta change! I do 20 mins wii fit (which lets face it is hardly...

I keep promising myself im gonna get doing more exercise... but im so goddam lazy. I gotta sort it out!! lol. OOhhhh forgot its your weigh in today.. gonna go look around see if you have told us how you did yet :D xx

Thankyou everyone :) am gonna work extra hard this week to shift 5lbs and then I'll be at my second stone! I think there must be a mistake in my stats somewhere so need to have a look at my book and try to work out why I started 15.1, have lost 23lbs but now weigh 13.8. Doesn't add up!! But it's...

Hello lovely, time for some butt kicking me thinks ;) he he. I KNOW what it feels like to have that week where the scales don't move and no matter what people say or how much u give yaself a kick up the arse, it still feels totally crap. But babe... Look at me!! I lost 2lbs last week but 6 this...

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww *serious sniffle sniffle teary eyes going on here* I dunno what to say you guys are just awesomely beautiful people inside and out (wow leluna ur pic is stunning!) and I cant believe I even considered leaving when I have you guys. You all are just the...

Thanks for your support everyone. Last night I just felt like I didn't want to be on here anymore. I cannot stand any kind of confrontation... And in here it seems every week I end up p!ssing someone off or ending up feeling crap about a conversation that's ended up degenerating into some kind...

I very nearly just removed myself from here and thought fhuck it but Cham, Katie, David and Donna... Not forgetting leluna, you have all been really great to me and I didnt wanna just disappear. But at this moment in time I'm seriously feeling like I just CBA with these forums... I love the...

yeah im really looking forward to that... Im going to go see a nutritionist before i start refeed and get re-educated. Cuz to be fare, iv pretty much lived on chicken nuggets, chips, chinese takeaway and toast for 25 years. Need to learn how to eat properly and banish my old habits of buying...

wow well done hun! thats awesome :) you should list your weigh ins! would be nice to see. no worries if not though!! but awesome about your big loss :D x

Hi poppy, I dont think we have spoken before, so thought I'd come say hi and let you know there's another person here behind you and believing that you can stay strong. Your doing so well :) !!! This is an incredibly difficult journey and if you can even do the first week your a bloody amazing...

Glad to hear you are feeling so good hun :) I love being in that place!!! It's been a few days since iv felt that cuz iv been on the scales and it was saying I only lost 1lb. and I guess that's made me feel a bit crap in conjunction with poorlyness so iv really missed food to make me feel...

No worries :) let us know when your sticks arrive and what they say!! I'm sure you will be in ketosis by now :) x

The sprays usually contain sorbitol and other alcohols that could effect ketosis. I have found 'toothy tablets' in lush.. They are great for brushing teeth and also freshening breath... I need to check 100% that they are totally carb free but iv done biochemistry and am pretty confident that it...

i dont think she meant milk??? if you did hun then yeah that would be ok. but i wouldnt with food.. especially when your lip will do a better job! x

hi michael. YOU CAN do it... there is proof that its possible everywhere on this site.. and there is no reason why you cant find the strength too just like we all did. You started for a reason.. because you desperately wanted to change your life and be slimmer. If you stay focused and strong you...

hey chick, how you feeling today?? hope your poorlyness has subsided.. I think you gave it to be via the forums lol. Feel like utter crap and cant swallow! I really battle with my hunger when im ill too :( Hope you have got over the worst of it and are still feeling positive and doing well :) xx

wow you are doing so so well :) you must be so happy! your target is so close now :) xx

Hey :) Chances are you are in ketosis by now. But everyone hits it at different times. I hit ketosis day 2!! some people take 2 weeks! buy some ketostix on ebay to see what your ketone levels are. Touching food on your tongue wouldnt be that bad.. BUT theres no need. For a start, our tongues...

well done leluna for beating those thoughts!! Cheese on toast is my weakness food and whenever I make it for me daughter.. (and she seems to want it all the flippin time!) ..I reeeaaaallly have to tell the voices NO!! FECK OFF!!! lol. And then she goes and leaves half of it and it just sits...

I lost 2lbs on my week 3 and i have been 100% since day 1.. so If you had a slip up and still got 2lbs thats awesome!! Dont feel down about it, you have done really well :) x

hey lovely ladies :) and david wherever you are :) yes indeed theres no chance of me leaving here.. we are all on a journey together and I have grown very fond of some of you *sniffle sniffle* he he. Im definately gonna ignore the pharmacist. I know im telling the truth and thats all that...

Oh dear :( him if you feel desperate at any point you must stay away from carbs!! Maybe some cheese or ham if you absolutely have too. You literally chose the worst things there! It depends what type of biscuit it was. If it was high in sugar then you may very well have knocked yourself put of...

Aww thanks leluna.. And I'd miss all you too much!! I'll never change over. And now I see that exante is only cheaper if you have the set bundles and I hate vanilla so bleh. I'll stay with LT :p I can tell I'm gonna have a low loss this week too. But im not gonna feel too crap about it. I just...

aww my pharmacy dont sell them :( boooo!!!!! lol. plus im scared of eating!! I dont think id be able to swallow it lol x

hey all! well done leluna 4lbs week 3 is AWESOME!!! your doing so well :) your gonna be skinny in no time :D :D its always best to aim low aint it. But chances are it will always balance out to the stone each month. hope your having a good day and feeling great about your weigh in :) x Hey cham...

well presumably. BUT... for the first 6 month or so personally I think it would be advisable to stick to a definitive structure. I know that if i just go back to eating without a set plan ill probably get slack counting calories and justify going over a little etc. But as long as you keep...

Yeh its all in the right direction.. and it will all balance out to the stone a month we are all aiming for! iv already lost 17lbs so until my next month iv met target anyway so feeling ok about it. Good luck for your weigh in tonight :) x

glad your feeling great and sticking at it :) its so tough at times. awesome you have had your first compliment! I havent had one yet but then i rarely see anyone lol. Im having a tough few days after feeling rubbish at only losing 2lbs week 3... but i am remaining positive and feeling strong...

Iv just finished week 3 and have started week 4. I had heard about the 'dreaded week 3' loss, but kinda thought id avoid it.. but nope... only lost 2lbs!! And consequently I took a real hit in my confidence and ever since i have fantasized about food and been really despondant at times. So the...

apparently 1200 calories is the suggested amount on maintenance. I might be wrong!! But thats what people are going by on the maintenance forum so im guessing its correct??? x

Bloody hell bet that was a bit unpleasant lol. I watched mine too... But they didn't give me an injection so it feckin KILLED. they only took a small amount but felt it all!!! Bloody vaginas. Who needs em eh. Lol. Men have it too easy I swear. Luckily I had it in my mind that the colposcopy...

Thankyou Katie :) I am so eager to see you shedding the pounds... Am seriously considering changing to exante too so looking forward to hearing your review :) hope your gettin on ok, will now go check ur diary and see what's been happenin :) xx

Hi hun, iv bled non stop since the day after I started LT. I had to have a colposcopy today and I told the nurse I was bleeding... And she sort of looked a bit worried that I'd been bleeding for over 3 weeks. Then when I told her I was on a ketogenic diet she said "ahhh that's why you're...

Hi :) I can't answer your questions with facts as I dont know for sure! All I can do is tell you my personal plan! I am going to stay on LT until I'm half a stone less than my target weight. I want to allow around 7lns for likely water and glycogen weight that will return when you finish being...

aww cham :( bless you!! get some rest, make sure you still drink plenty and i hope you feel a bit better later. Its scary being ill on LT!! cant even take any vit c :( hugs chick xx

Thankyou!!! :D jenhen.. nevermind your week 1 slip ups.. just stay focused and youll be seeing the big losses soon that will motivate you to be strong and not eat any sneaky bites of food! if you can get through week one then you can go all the way so just see it through hun :) david.. thankies...

Wow awesome!! Well done!!! And I was feeling really down today about my 2lb loss for week 3. But you have just proved that next week might be a lot better!! :) great loss xxx

Wow well done! :) nearly 3 stone in 8 weeks is fantastic xx

He he know what you mean about the dippiness! lol. I feel like my brain has degenerated to neanderthal level and have struglled to string coherent sentences together at times. Im all over the place. NOt good when you have 140 ebay items to package and send. i bet half the people got the wrong...

AWww bloody hell donna :( I totally relate to the fatigue thing.. my daughter was awake for hours every night in my first week with croup and I swear to god i thought i was gonna have a heart attack and die every time i moved! I do know how hard it is.. and you know in your mind that food will...

wow thanks guys :) I was gonna try to write a kind of generic 'thanks to all' message but you all deserve individual replies! :) (in order no less :p) Jellie kellie..... thankyou for your lovely message. Forget the flase starts this year... this time is going to be success. The support and...

will reply to everyone.. thanks for all your posts. But right now im feelin a bit crappy after only losing 2lbs today. Has put me in a real bad mood! Gimme a couple of hours to wallow in it and ill be back feeling all positive and feeling good to reply to you all x

Aww bless you Cham :) ur too lovely :) I have tried puttin vanilla in my tea and coffee and I hate it!! Lol. But cuz lacto-free milk has had the milk sugars removed I don't mind havin the occasional splash if I desperately need it. Not gonna make a habit of it though... Just cuz my throat was...

Aww bless you!! It sounds like you have got yourself into a bit of a negative mindset about them and the dread of them is making them taste a lot worse than they do! I feel the same about vanilla. Blegh. So anyway, have u ever done chocolate slim fast?? Cuz for me, I whizz up a chocolate shake...

And now for today!! Day 21!!! Important milestone as they say it takes 21 days to break an old habit and for a new habit to form. So here's to LT being 100% set as my new habit :) although it's felt like that for the past week or so anyway!! But wow 3 weeks down... I feel so proud of myself...

Ok so this is YESTERDAYS diary entry... Accidentally posted in David's diary oops!! So moving it here :p Ok!!! So day 20 down and still 100%. Can barely believe that I have done this... I feel like superwoman lol. Feel so proud to get to the end of each day and know it's been another day...

How did I manage to post MY diary in David's???!!! What is wrong with me lol. Gonna try sort it... Hope it can be done on iPhone?? If not sorry!!!! I'll do it tomorrow at my computer. P.s hey Cham :) hope your ok, will be on tomorrow evening :) xxx

Moving my post... Hope this works lol x

Honk day 20 :)

Wow thanks Cham :) that's really chilled me out. Iv been worrying so much. Thanks hun xx

Are not ate lol

Aw Hun don't be disappointed you have done so well!!! And week 3 is always a dramatic fall in loss. And from now on you should expect around 3.5 every week as that's the average to lose about a stone a month. And that's amazing!! A stone a month is incredibly quick to lose weight... But the...

Iv been told it's really horrid... Iv never had one before and I'm feckin dreading it. I could bloody cry just thinking about it. Guess it's better than having cancer though! Yeh I'm sure my coil is fine... I think I'd know if it wasn't. Thanks for your wishes for Tuesday... God men have it easy...

That's so awesome David well done!!! :D xxx

Well done!!! Your gonna be skinny in no time at this rate! :D really chuffed for ya xx

Oh bloody hell Cham your freaking me out lol! Iv got a colposcopy Tuesday :( I hope they don't find that mines done a disappearing act! Lol. I know they tell you to check it but I'm too scared ha ha. The thought of it even being there freaks me out... If I felt it I think I'd puke lol. God well...

Will power is all you need! Just have to be the strongest u have ever been because your mind will fight against this! It really will. I also used to get very badly bullied for my weight when I was at school and college... I really know how awful it is... And the more they did it the more I ate...

Hey :) welcome to the forums and the best decision u have ever made!!! If you stay strong and get into the right frame of mind, this will change your life. You are only 16 bless you, you are doing this at the right time!!! Firstly... Don't get the chicken soups lol. I felt exactly the same and...

Lol how funny! My mums having the food dreams too... About giant rib and saucy nik-naks the size of juggling clubs ha ha. See I just dream of being skinny all the time. Feels so good!! And then I wake up and am like awww :( it isn't real yet ha ha. Soon though!! X

David you will definitely have a fantastic result :) even though we are on the same day you always weigh in before me! I don't weigh until Monday. Can't wait to see how u get on xx

My pharmacist says oraldene is the only allowed one :s I am just not caring about the stinky breath though lol ha ha. Everyone will just have to put up with it! :p

Blimey Cham that don't sound good!! Hope it all goes ok!!! I have no choice but to have a coil as my body reacts very badly to the high levels of hormones in other contraceptions. Iv had no problems so far and Mirjam I'm so sorry to hear about ur problems with it and the consequences :( I know...

Wow well done :) what in inspiration. It's such a tough journey and you have kicked it's ass :) bet you feel amazing. It sounds like you definitely have the right frame of mind to be successful on refeed and maintaining afterwards. But I can totally understand... I'm only 3 weeks in and already...

I havent had a period since october last year when I had a coil put in. I then came on 2 days after starting LT and aint stopped since. Having a nearly 3 week totm is not my idea of fun lol. And i am so sure its because of the LT. I cant understand why though! But it seems to be wuite common...

AWESOME!!! thanks cham!!! thats been doing my head in lol. Cuz I MUCH prefer using minimins on my phone.. its quicker and easier to navigate. But not being able to see stats was annoying me. But YAY you sorted it for me :) :) thankies!!! hope your having a good day :) xxx

Honkage day 18... 19??? I can't even remember!! But honk for the past few days too... Getting slack with the honking lol. But 100% all the way :)

Your* grrr I'm gonna tw@t this iPhone one day lol

Ahhh Cham you KNOW I agree with every word of that Hun so I won't go into all the similarities!!! U already know them. And I absolutely stand by my belief that this isn't a diet, it's s reprogramming of our connections and associations with food and our addictions and relationship with it. And...

Ah awesome! How long ago did u live here?? X

aw hun we will all be here for you... some of us have 6,7 even 8 moths of this to look forward to!! and if we can do it, then you can!!! you only have to be strong for a few weeks and you will be skinny again :) its such a small amount of time out of your life and you just need to be strong and...

Thankyou jessie :) i did write out a really long reply earlier but it got removed cuz i said a bad word :( dont have time to write out another full message but just wanted to pop on and say thankyou and that i appreciate your lovely words :) xx cant stop... im non stop busy with nearly 100 ebay...

nearly every toothpaste has sorbitol in it... but i found that arm and hammer coolmint does not have it. All the other arm and hammer ones do. Its the only toothpast I could find x

LOL!!!! it goes really far though.. you need such a tiny bit to do like a whole arm. I had a look at that palmers stuff... thats pretty expensive too! I definately cant afford to buy stuff like that at the mo... maybe when all my ebay stuff sells I will treat myself :) x

I try to drink 3 litres. But the past few days iv really struggled and today iv only had about 1.5 which is just not good enough. Iv had a sore tummy though and ain't felt up to drinking loads. But tomorrow I'm going to do the 3 if it kills me!!! Yes it definitely affects your losses, but also...

Hi jen!! thankyou :) I really dont know where I have plucked all the determination from because as a person im quite weak and submissive and generally quite defeatist. But I have totally suprised myself at how strong i can be. I relate to all the food demons massively... i lost a couple stone...

OOOH WOW!!!! will check it out!!!!! bio oil supposedly really helps too!! xxx

lol im in Truro Cornwall... met someone else on here from truro too. small world :)

aww so awesome to see you feeling so great and I can relate to every single word of it. Its amazing how just a couple of weeks can change your whole life. I feel like someone has waved a magic wand... I dont think I have ever felt this happy, positive, confident and excited to be alive. Its a...

IM BACK!!! sorry guys I literally left the house at 8.30am and have not long been back.. absolutely non-stop all day!! kept hearing my iphone going off telling me i had replies on here and just didnt have time to check!! today was really hard actually... didnt get to have a shake until gone 1...

HELLO!!! :D how are you hunni? feel quite special having a thread devoted to meeee :) he he. I aint been around much cuz iv been flat out busy and feel like i am letting everyone down by not getting time to reply to them!!! lol. I am doing great.. although today was the hardest day Iv had for a...

No worries, everyone on here will offer you constant support in the exact same way I have, and I wouldn't have done it without the girlies and guys on here!! It just so happened that the japan disaster happened my first week and I just sat watching sky news constantly, in total disbelief of...

Well day 16 complete 100% and feeling great. Starting to realise that the small amounts of lactose in the shakes are increasingly affecting my lactose intolerance :S which explains the constant trots and now sore tummy :( but when I get paid next week I'll buy some lactase enzyme and hopefully...

Thankyou!!! :) x

Lol that's pretty much it. And yes you will definitely be accepted providing you are healthy and aren't on any medication that will affect ketosis. My friend can't do it because all her tablets are full of sugar!! But anyone healthy with a BMI over 30 can be accepted onto the program. Let us...

Oh and with regards to putting the weight back on... It's up to you to spend the time on LT to assess your relationship with food and change it. Forever. If you have ideas of going back to eating crap then yes you will put the weight back on. LT isn't a quick fix, it's a permanent lifestyle...

Hun we have ALL been there! We all have thought to ourselves "I can't do this". We have all gone crazy obsessing about food and dying inside when the cheesecake advert comes on. And we have all had the voice tell us we will never succeed. But we are all still here!!! You CAN get through it... We...

I don't think you can achieve actual mousse. Just a thick creamy chocolatey type thing. It's lovely though lol

Looks like a lot of toothpastes have it as I have looked at all my toothpastes and all my daughters toothpastes too. Gonna have dirty teeth til I can find one without it lol x

AARRRGGGHHHHH JUST FOUND IT IN AQUAFRESH!!! Sh!t I been using that the whole time! Wonder what else it's in. It's freaking me out lol x

Wow well done David :) that's brilliant!! I'm so damn proud of us all... Being 100% is not easy and we are so bad ass for sticking to it!! And we are doing so well :) and yeh I'm freezing cold too. But remember, being cold and shivery needs a lot of energy so we are burning fat by being cold...

Oh bloody hell :( so what is it to look for? Sorbitol??? X

Woke up today and my rings don't fit! I'm literally going to have to take them off or I'll lose them. I am a bit gutted cuz they are really special. Looks like losing weight is gonna be bloody expensive what with all the new clothes, pants, bras, and now rings! Lol. I'm already getting up in the...

What the!??!!! Omg!! I literally am milk bottle White and will wither and die if I go in the sun without factor 50+ on... Looks like I'm f**ked this summer then lol. Grr. Where did u find that out Cham??

Aw thanks hun!! How did you do?? I'm on my phone so cant see signatures or stats :( xx

Honk day 15 100% all the way. feels great and so proud of us all :) (especially yeye wow girl you have OWNED those scales lol well done) x

aw sweetie you poor thing.. i really feel for you and understand how gutted you must feel to have let the food get you!!! but you do not need to give up and you must not let yourself be defeated! You have done so well to lose a stone already! dont waste that hard work by giving up!! so what, you...

So much to reply to!! :) firstly mahoosive thankyou to everyone.. so awesome to have you guys rooting for me.. and love feeling it in return and getting all excited to find out peoples weigh ins :) foot tattoos... DONT DO IT lol. I LOVE the feeling of being tattooed.. but literally cannot bear...

Lol I am so scared of spaniel ears :( I have 36H boobs and after my daughter they are already not what they used to be. I'm worried losing 5-6 stone will result in me tucking them into my knickers. Apparently you can get a boob/tummy deal for about 6k. Which yes is expensive but I know people...

It won't affect your weight loss... It's not bad, just make sure you drink extra water to make up for the lack of water with the shake. Do try and drink the shakes more though as they will fill you up more xx

I'm never gonna look at colonel Gaddafi the same way again!! The mere mention of sucking out his cream and having his nut in my mouth has scarred me for life lol x

Bless you babe... It's so lovely to hear you feeling so strong... And I can relate to everything you said. Except for baking cakes cuz I literally cannot cook lol. But the point is I could if I knew how!! I feel the same... Just no weakness to food and can detach totally when cooking or seeing...

Lol glad it cheered you up... Although I wasn't actually trying to be funny!! I genuinely thought he looked like a giant walnut whip ha ha. Although I put it on facebook and someone asked me if I would pop his nut in my mouth and then pop my finger inside to scoop out his cream. I nearly...

Glad to hear your finding it a breeze :) I am too and it makes the goal seem so much more achievable! And know what you mean about it feeling longer!! And how I feel like I will miss my shakes. But in 4 months I may feel differently lol. Today iv had tummy ache after every shake... I thought I...

you wont have to give it up... you just might need some antibiotics. I know you want to just see how it goes but honestly get it checked out because blood in your urine is never normal and should never be left!! please promise me youll go docs :( x

he he thanks guys :) aww can ya feel the love?!!! pmsl :) its so awesome to have such a wonderful group of friends on the same journey. gets me through! and yes we are all soon to be gorgeously slim :) xx

one word... surgery lol. If i have the big hanging tummy i expect... that i kick when i walk lol.. im having it sorted! and if i cant get it on the NHS im gonna get a loan and have my boobs done at the same time lmao!! im actually serious though. i want to be happy with my body and am prepared...

love how upbeat you are donna :) and thankyou for your supportive words! however panic over as I have lost 7lbs!! wahoo :) i dont have time to stick about and chat either.. lots to do!! but thankyou everyone! and cham we are gonna need to see that tattoo ;) he he. Im a tattooist and know how...

This is DEFINITELY not normal and is very worrying.. it is indication that you have a UTI most likely kidneys if its blood and I strongly suggest you go to the doctor ASAP. As your kidneys are under a lot of pressure processing the ketones and extra water so its important you see a doctor and...

There was me panicking yesterday because I had no weight loss later in the week... well i must have lost a couple over night cuz weigh in today was 7lbs. VERY happy with that... total 15lbs in two weeks. Preparing myself for the losses to drop now that im into week 3.. but to have acheived over...

I go to redruth each week. There's one in at mawes but they wanted me to have all chicken soup! Yak :( x

See if I wear a slight Bootcut or thinner pair of jeans I just look massive lol. I have a mahoosive bum and a mahoosive pair of booooobs so think I need to balance it all out with some width in the lower leg lol. Iv got bloody chicken calves!!! Why oh why would I have an enormous ass and skinny...

It's ok hun, me too.. Was watching the news yesterday and colonel Gaddafi looked like a walnut whip. Sends ya a bit loopy lmao xx

Ok so gonna write my 'end of day 14' diary... Wonder who I'll p!ss off this time!! Lol *sigh* (still would like these supposed derogatory posts to materialise but hey just gonna let it go and focus on important stuff) So yet another day down and feeling just as strong as ever. Also drank more...

Aw thankyou... Worries me that everyones reading that and thinking 'what a cow' lol. Cuz that's not how it is! So thanks for reassuring me a bit. Your jeans sound lush.. I know just the type you mean. What I do is measure the waist and hips of smaller clothes and each week measure myself to see...

i second that! i havent had a TOTM since october last year as I had a coil put in.. and have had non stop TOTM since i started lol. But apparently tgats quite normal. So it could be a combination of having the poops (normal) and some menstrual cramps all together... plus the cold sweats that you...

thankyou katie :) and i know iv done well cuz i just went to the loo and lost my pyjama bottoms half way down the hall!! lol!! Im sure i will be happy with the result as ANY loss is a loss and is more fat falling off me!! have just bought a gorgeous pair of jeans size 16 on ebay so have got them...

I would very much like you to quote the derogatory comments as my passion in life is to never put people down. So I urge you to quote them so that I can see what you are talking about. and no noone is perfect, i dont expect anyone to be, and dont judge anyone for not being so. And my comments...

thankyou cate :) i do know i have been a little too hard on myself. I know ill get there, i just get a little impatient sometimes. But i wont let myself get down about any lower losses than expected.. and maybe ill stop putting expectations on myself and remind myself im doing the very best that...

*breathes a sigh of relief* thankyou katie! really being made out to be a b!tch this weekend which i am so far from. iv had THREE people on my case!!! and you took my point exactly katie so thankyou for reassuring me that it CAN be taken as intended!! xx

the post in full has no nasty connotations or judgemental undertone. Im sorry you feel it does.

ooh whats it called?? i didnt know the docs could prescribe anything like this! and lloyds are stopping doing LT :( x

FFS the confrontational hassle equally balances the benefits of this forum. getting a bit sick of peoples attitudes. Im sure anyone reading my initial comment there can see there was nothing derogatory or judgemental??!!!

ok calm down. You have read what i was talking to sandra about in a very negative way. when purely i was pointing out that i hoped never to feel like i had to turn to food for comfort ever again. when i mentioned to her that i had read in a diary someone had relapsed like that, she asked who so...

ha ha wow its a small world!! where do you get your LT from?

ooh someone else in cornwall! :D where are you? im in truro. I also started 15st and need to be slim by july! im hoping to be near 10stone by then as iv lost a stone already in first two weeks.. and hoping for just over a stone for the next 4 months. but gonna aim for around 3lbs a week as that...

thankyou for the advice everyone.. id still be worrying and obsessing about it if I hadnt asked. And mary.. pretty much all the food at the festival is crap. But i have a good plan in order and think ill be ok. Molly i especially like your idea of the protein bars.. thats a fantastic idea and I...

Thankyou everyone!!! after weigh in tomorrow ill be taking my measurements too so even if i aint lost much weight maybe iv lost the inches :) i lost about 5lbs in the few days after weigh in last week so hopefully if i lose a pound over night tonight i will still have reached my first stone in 2...

have you had much soya before? I mentioned this on an earlier thread as I have met a couple of people with soya allergies who could not do LT as it is primarily soya protein. HAVING SAID THAT though... iv had the sh!ts constantly since i began but I have IBS so have an overactive colon anyway...

yep it was me who said that lol! if i try to avoid food i obsess about it! but when im cooking for my daughter, if i start wanting to eat a bit.. i pick it up and stick it right in my face and have a good strong, long whiff. and then all of a sudden my desire disappears as i realise yes it...

hello mellowman!! and welcome to the most amazing re-programming you could ever be part of :) i dont like to call it a diet because im not here to lose weight... im here to change my relationship with food forever and no other diets truly do that! LT is an absolute miracle... and although the...

What a lovely post :) and i can totally relate. Im only in week two and already LT has changed my life and not just my weight. For many years I have suffered with a very powerful depression and a lot of deep anxiety that makes every day difficult and has a huge effect on my relationship with my...

Thankyou guys :) and yeh we are all different... And lose at different paces. It's just a little disheartening. I should start not weighing myself but I am so impatient! Goal next week... NO WEIGHING!!! lol xx

Aw yeh I think I'd be the same with roast!! But when I make my daughters meals I just let myself sniff it really close to get a good nose full... And FOR ME... I'm not suggesting for anyone else!.... But for me, as soon as I get close to the food it's like it just twigs that actually yes it...

See I'm not struggling at all. I could do this forever. There's nothing I want, I'm never tempted by my daughters food or treats... I'm finding it so easy. But I'm not seeing the results I want!! My weigh in is tomorrow!!! I have been feeling so strong, I don't want low weight loss to knock my...

I know I shouldn't let it get to me but I dint understand why I'm not losing more. I haven't lost a pound since wednesday despite being totally 100% since I started. Not even licking my fingers while making my daughters tea which iv been tempted to do!! Iv kept my water intake up and have been...

In the first couple of weeks it's best to give your body time to adjust as burning fat for energy takes longer than it does to use glucose. When you hit ketosis you will notice how slow and sluggish you feel for a few days... Even lifting a glass of water was effort for me!!! But once your body...

Aww your poor sister!!! Bless her heart sounds like she has a tough time of it. Thing is ALL of those problems are directly diet related!!! Hopefully she can be persuaded. Although it's like someone on the booze... No point trying to convince em if they ain't ready to sort it out. But I'd bet a...

Love* stupid iPhone autocorrect

Omg me too champers!! Not about the thrush ( u poor thing :( so horrible) but the pimples on arms clearing up and just general improvements of illnesses. I have chronic IBS that has literally destroyed my life. It's the worst case of ibs iv ever heard of and nearly every day I'd be on the floor...

It's probably just coincidence but if it's particularly noticeable and no illness develops then it might be worth making sure you don't have a soya allergy!! LT is mainly soya and know a couple of people who couldn't do it due to a soya reaction. Have u been ok with soya before or have you never...

Ha ha I'm exactly the same. My sense of smell is ridiculous! Right now I can smell next door having chicken super noodles... God knows how but it's potent!! It reminds me of how strong my sense of smell is when I'm pregnant. I don't know what the reason is, but it definitely affects me!!!

Wow what a stupid doctor. I'd be fuming!!! Going to the loo is something That most people have difficulties with! It's normal and nothing to be alarmed about!! There's not much to poo out and what is there will come when it's ready! As long as your not in pain or discomfort ( like ya get on...

I just whisk... But am doubtful that you can actually achieve a proper 'mousse' in the true sense of the word. I may be wrong though!!! X

Oh and thanks for the link David :) and yeh there's times when TFR needs to be put on hold. Marathon being one! Wow! Go you!!! :) and we can always go back to it, just like you said have to be strict and get straight back to it!!!! Thanks for your thoughts on it :) x

Thanks Hun, I appreciate your concern cuz I'm concerned too lol. I don't drink alcohol... Ever! So I just have to work around the other parts of my festival experience!! And under normal circumstances I know how to do what I do at the festival and look after myself, but the eating thing has been...

your welcome, thats what this site is all about and I know I couldnt have done it without all the support I have been offered. And love giving that back. Thankyou for coming into that thread about my festival and perking me up too. I felt like crap after being spoken to like sh!t. A couple of...

hey david :) yes thats exactly how i feel. I truly never want to order another kebab (my addiction lol) or eat another load of chocolate as long as i live. I want this to be the re-programming of my mental attitude towards food so that I never rely on food to make me feel better again. ANd i...

aw bless you hun :( what a day!!! i can totally relate to stress being my main trigger and with a very angry and obnoxious 3 year old that refuses to sleep I am tested every day with that trigger! and know how incredibly difficult it is to stay strong when inside you feel so weak from feeling...

sounds good to me... although if youre fighting a bug, make sure you are in a reasonable state of health as if your immune system is low you might feel like utter crap and struggle to get better. But if you think you are over the worst of it then theres no reason why starting with exante would...

Hi hun, dont freak out too much. Although slim fast is definitely not the best way to go in future. It is packed with sugar.. they have about 40g of pure carb in them so in future if stuck, it would be better to buy a pack of ham or something. BUT.. dont worry too much... you can eat up to about...

Sorry to hear you are in this situation! But if you do Atkins induction phase until you can next get shakes then you will remain in ketosis and you won't have such an awful time starting shakes again. You will still lose weight and your body won't have the struggle of trying to get back onto...

Thankyou :) that's so good to know. I have this vision of having to pick my stomach off the floor while I walk lol. It really worries me cuz I think I'd rather be big than skinny and really saggy at 25!! But it's so good to have the reassurance that it's not necessarily going to be bad. So...

Well done david!! That's awesome :) and well done for staying strong, your soon so well :)

Hi, I put the shake powder into a small bowl and very gradually add really cold water constantly mixing until I get the consistency I want. Only put a little bit in at a time and you will be able to get a mousse :)

Thankyou kered thats really chilled me out. You look incredible... what a transformation! It is so reassuring to know you have maintained for so long, its obviously possible!!! so seriously thankyou :) would you mind if i asked what your loose skin situation has been? I already have saggy skin...

honk for 12th day 100%

aw thanks :) and well done for getting in the zone! I do feel so confident that I will achieve this, but little bits offear keeps creeping in! I started having a read around online about people who have used extreme ketogenic diets like this, and all the information warned that the success was...

This is my biggest fear. I'm big now and have a saggy tummy post-ginormous child living in there. So when I lose weight it's going to be hideous. And my 36h boobs will be sorely missed. However I'm going to have a tummy tuck and boob surgery package if I have to lol. I'm serious. I am the last...

Glad you're feeling like it's getting a little easier... I definitely feel it's becoming more achievable each day. Well done for sticking at it and keep that WI in mind. I'm sure you will have another fantastic loss :) You have the perfect attitude... I have every single faith that come summer...

Thanks kered, and well done for your hard work and still maintaining! :) Ok so day 11... This just keeps getting easier. I cannot believe how healthy and strong I feel. And I'm so much less stressed than I was before LT. i feel a real calm over me and am much more able to deal with crap. I...

Worth a go I guess. Let us know if it works! I don't drink the soup cuz I cannot bear it. But my mum loves it and she uses a little handheld blender thing that costs about £5 in the value ranges of like Argos and tesco etc. Also let us know what u think of the flapjacks. I'm too scared to try...

I think you are wildly misjudging our intentions.. We are all here for the same reasons and look out for each other. My initial post was out of concern for you as I didn't realise you were jokin cuz I missed the last sentence. But it does need mentioning that there is a percentage if people who...

Best way is with a blender cuz if you shake boiling water in a shaker it builds up pressure and might explode!!! And if you do it with a fork ul likely get lumps (yak). Also have you got flapjacks for week 1?!! I thought they were week 3+ only???!!!

Yeh just overdid it and was very tired too. But I felt a lot better for getting that shake in me... I think my body was struggling! I'm not going to risk that again lol x

Hun if your not in the right space at the moment then don't make yourself miserable. It takes strength and focus to do this and if your feeling weak and having problems then now might not be the best time to do it. On the other hand, if u think that you can find the strength to do it then just...

But does that mix up the lumps or just remove them?? That's what I was wandering.

Lol it's not annoying or offensive hun. We are just all in it together and it's worrying to see something that could potentially destroy a fellow LTers success beating the evil food demons! Lol. To be fair, I read it at like 2 in the morning and actually didn't see the bit about it being in...

Learnt a valuable lesson today. I have been non stop busy til about midnight @ the time flew by. Realised only had 2 shakes today. But it was too late really to make one cuz I would wake my very light-sleeping 3 year old up and I didn't want the hassle so I just got into bed. Next thing I...

I don't want to be a spoil sport but as soon as you chew it your already digesting it as the enzymes in your mouth instantly break it down for absorption. If that had been sugary your body would then have glucose which would have been very bad!!! Just cuz you don't swallow doesn't mean you...

The *** was bug....gers just on case u thought it was something really offensive ha ha

I'm not like all you posh ******* with blenders he he, and I shake my shakes in a Tupperware shaker... Not the proper LT one as I can't afford one and don't like how big they are. But I was getting a bit sick of lumps... Especially in the vanilla one they make me gag ughh. So I had a...

Thankyou everyone!! And yes I'll be very slow introducing exercise... Most likely just some yoga as I have hips that dislocate and a lot of pain if I do too much. Will just stick the wii fit on and do small amounts of yoga and light cardio a few days this week. Thankyou all :) and David thanks...

Aww I welled up a little at that, bless you, it's such a hard and emotional journey for us all and the positivity and strength from others is so powerful. And knowing that in turn we can give that back by offering our own support and strength to people, not only helps them but reinforces the...

Aww you will have reached your goal in no time! And probably you will see slightly lower losses each week compared to people with a lot more weight to lose... Iv got 5 maybe 6 to lose and it seems like a massive journey. But in a month or two you will be skinny :) I'm on my phone so can't see ur...
