Coming to the end of day 3 and going well! I haven't been hungry at all, no headaches or anything bad so I'm really happy so far. Big mistake though, I didn't weigh myself before starting (the scales have been my biggest downfall in the past, so I'm trying to go totally weighing free) which...

Another new starter here :) Same old story, serial dieter, trying something new in the hope it clicks! I want to lose about 80lbs so I'm with you all the way Wobble :cool:

You have done so amazingly well!!!! :eek: congratulations :D I'm really interested to see how you get on with the marathon walk - I'm doing one on the 1st May in Manchester and originally I was planning to refeed before hand, but having just had to refeed due to a last minute holiday (ate...

Okay, so refeed went well! I spent 3 days cycling in the Isle of Wight on full English breakfasts then a last minute trip to Kuala Lumpur with ridiculous amounts of food. Thankfully I've only put on 2lb so it's back on the shakes today and hopefully watch the pounds disappear. Not...

Thanks Katie, I've never worried so much about coming off a diet!!! :D

Made it through week 2 with 5lb loss so very happy :) Bit gutted I've got to refeed for this weekend away now but it would be worse if I didn't do it properly. Hopefully won't put too much on and can jump straight back on the shakes next Tuesday :)

It's true, they are :) It is surfdome where you will find maybe one or two items at a plus size 16!

Hi WF, I've just read your diary and you sound so lovely! I reckon any Man who finds you on the dating site will be the luckiest man alive. Think positive and show your best bits - you've shown a lot on here and I hope you find a man who deserves someone as good as you :hug99: PMSL at...

Well done LSD - it's so hard to resist! I think the worst thing is the smell - I just associate it with eating. The reality is that McDonalds actually smells pretty bad, especially when you chant "raw rotten fish" over and over again into your coffee :D

different body shapes are so strange! I probably weigh more than the two of you put together Cate and Donna but I'm just getting into a 16 bottom. The top however is a 40G size 22 and I hate it sooooo much! I also have a wonderful spare tyre that I can rest my coffee on! I really just want to...

I absolutely love this! It's so easy for us to forget how far we've come and focus on the bad day or week we're having instead of the fantastic work we've already done. Oh to shop for a "normal" size! I was looking for shorts yesterday and my hubbie suggested looking on the website he was...

Hi Mellum, you've done so well! I'm very similar - lost 3 stone with WW, lost the plot and put 2 back on then started LT two weeks ago at 17 stone (second weigh in tomorrow :)) I want to lose about the same as you and yesterday managed to get into some 16 jeans (yes, it was tight!) Good...

Hi all, I have a weekend away next weekend and it includes meals so I need to refeed this week after my second weigh in tomorrow. I am absolutely terrified that I will put on everything I have lost by doing this, even I'm going straight back to 100% next Tuesday when I come back. Can...

Cate that is amazing you must feel so good about yourself! Congratulations :bliss:

I'm the same as Donna and Leluna - none so far. Only my husband and three best friends know what I'm doing, two of my friends are skinny minnie's and the third is the one that introduced me to LT! :D

Excellent! you'll have lost 2 stone before you know it! :D

Fantastic well done!!! I have a pair of jeans in my wardrobe that I refuse to throw out. My husband bought them for me when he went on a business trip to the states about 15 years ago. I'd always wanted a pair of Levi's but couldn't afford the UK prices. I was so disappointed when he got...

Whatever happens don't give up! :hug99: You won't put on all the weight you've lost, so hold your head high and jump back up. The weight will start falling off again as soon as you start back on the shakes :)

Lol hope you didn't give in last night Donna!!:D My God weekends are hard aren't they? Weigh in tomorrow but I don't think I've lost too much this week for some reason :mad:

Mothers day and it's been quite easy today! The rest of the family are about to tuck into their M&S mother's day meal for 4 and I'm going to have a lovely bath with my Lush bath bomb they bought me. Feeling contented :)

Thanks Squeeze you're right! We're back home now and I'm just so pleased I didn't give in :)

Thoroughly miserable at this moment. In the Trafford Centre, husband has taken our 3 girls to get a squidgy cream cheese pretzel for lunch so I've brought the shopping which includes an M&S mother's day meal for 4 (excluding the mother) back to the car to sit and wait for them. It is so hard...

Hi Summer I'm sorry but this made me chuckle! I googled and googled but nowhere could I find the nutritional value of washing up liquid :D Having tasted washing up liquid as a child, I can honestly say that if you managed to drink your shake there can't have been very much in your drink -...

Keep at it Daisy! If you can do 4 days 100% then you can do many more. I'm having a positive day with you. Nice feeling :woohoo:

Day 11 and another notch in on the belt. Feeling really good about everything today. Even think I can sit with hubby tonight while he quaffs a nice bottle of red and I down a choccie milkshake :drool:

Hi Pete, Have I got it right from what you say that you don't need to refeed to do a lot of exercise? The walk I'm doing is 26.2 miles through the night, and although I'm doing lots of 10/14 mile training walks I did the marathon walk last year and it was far harder than the training...

I'm doing the Manchester shine walk on May 1st and I'm a bit worried about the endurance aspect of it. Will I need to refeed the week before the walk in order to get a few carbs in?

This is a terribly addictive way of living. It used to be bread and butter and caramacs but I seem to have switched my addictions to standing on the scales and peeing on little sticks... ...happy days :)

To remove the biggest reason to not like myself :)

Tomorrow's another day and even if it has taken you out of ketosis from what I've heard it'll be quicker to get back into it than when you first started. Don't give up, we all have bad moments but you can be strong and carry on. Post back and keep reading to stay motivated xxx

It's actually a really good loss if you look at what you would lose if you were doing weight watchers or similar! I'm falling into the same trap - we all want instant success and while this is incredibly fast it still isn't fast enough for us :D Keep going, before you know it you will have...

Hi Leluna thanks for that! I've just read your diary and it's so good, you are doing so well :) My husband (who is hugely supportive :)) got on the scales last night and was so pleased because he'd got his body fat down to 16% - He cycles about 200 miles a week so no great surprise. I...

I know it's not too bad but I think its a mental thing - once you slip it's hard to stop. I need to forget I ever did it :D

Pants :( I ate a piece of chicken while I made the kids tea. Can't believe I can manage 9 days then break like that. Immediately regretted it but know I just need to get on and put it behind me.

That is so good to hear! i can't wait to be at the stage where I no longer feel like an oversize person and I don't feel like people just see the fat before they see the real you :D

Thank you! The nicest feeling is that you're not alone here :)

V12345- 14 lbs to go. x__lis__x - 8lbs (refeed after 2 weeks) yummymummynot - 14lbs Yeye 10lbs, (refeed after 2 weeks 15th) Bye-bigun - 12lbs Jewel83 - 12lb Lolakerry -10lbs curvygirlyclaire -14lb nikki_k -14lb Cham Pers -14lb poppyseed -14lb Hope I've not missed anyone off!!

I love a challenge! -14lb for me please! Hope it's possible although I have to do some re-feeding through April due to a weekend cycling round the IOW in April and also doing the Shine Walk in Manchester on 1st May (26.2 miles through the night) so will need a bit of something to keep me going!!

I seem to have spent many hours over the last couple of weeks reading threads on this forums, and what a fantastic place it is! What struck me most was the diary threads. Everyone is different although we're all working towards the same goal of losing weight. Some are positive, some are...

Thank you all :) Stats updated thanks Cate - got a bit carried away :D

Fantastic! Hope I'm still doing as well as you on week 3! :bliss:

So chuffed :) :) :)

Thanks. Clothes are looser but today has been tough! :)

What an inspiration you are Chuck! That is absolutely incredible, people must walk past you in the street because they no longer recognise you :)

I've got my first weigh in tomorrow and if the pharmacist isn't there I will be absolutely gutted!!!!!! Well done on your 8lb loss - I'll post mine tomorrow and whether I have a living pharmacist still or not :)

Hi Jen don't beat yourself up over it. This diet is so hard! I'm just at the end of week 1 with weigh in tomorrow and all I can think is "how bad can a little bit of food be?" I don't think it's hunger either, it's just wanting to eat :( I think we all have a little part of our brain that is...

I'm struggling with the water. i just don't really like it and if I'm not thirsty it's so hard!! :(

Think poor little fluffy yellow chicks... nothing worse than finding feathers in your fatty fried stuff :)

Thank you so much :) vanilly the maggot idea is fantastic and works so well! I've just imagined the spotty lad cooking behind the counter squeezing his acne into the deep fat fryer. That's done the trick :) :)

6 days of 100%. Sat in the place with the golden arches with 2 of my children. I've got a black coffee but oh dear God the temptation to snaffle one little ff is so strong! Somebody stop me :(

I've just found out how much better the shakes are when blended with ice:D Now on day 6 I really look forward to them!

Glad to hear you're on track Sigourney :) Thank goodness Saturday is over, just the rest of today to go - my house will be spotless! Maybe I'll even mow the lawn :D

Day 5 for me and I've finally reached ketosis this afternoon :D Been checking with ketostix for the last couple of days and thought it was never going to happen!

-To make my husband look and me and think "phwoar" and be able to accept the compliments -to make my three girls want to be like me when they grow up -to be the gorgeous bubbly friend not just the lovely bubbly friend -to bring back my relaxed self confidence which I think got lost in an...

Near Warrington, Cheshire :)

Lol you are just like me! I can lose 3 stones when pregnant (also have 3) but put it all back on and more after. Made it through day 2, feeling positive on day 3. No headache today! :)

I took the soup back and they changed it no problem :) I've just come back in here for some more motivation. Made the kids tea and it smelt so good :( I've managed not to crack but that's got to be one of the hardest times! I keep going outside because it's a beautiful day it reminds me...

Hello everyone :) Did day one yesterday, all went well except the chicken soup which seemed quite nice while eating it but the aftertaste was really horrible! I'm going to call the chemists and see if they'll swap it for something else today. :D Feeling light headed this morning so will...
