    Yes it's possible and will be hard work, and you will put some of the weight back on actually when you're on holiday. If you can live with those facts then there's no reason why you can't do it.

    Ug, cold and hungry

    Yeah I know not as bad as a homeless person but still feel pretty miserable. I'm sitting here too tight to put the heating on with a hot water bottle. Craving food, not anything in particular but just something! (Eurovision - Austria, Serbia, Italy) Anyone else out there?

    I have to say that I haven't not liked anything. Mushroom soup with a bit of fresh basil is yum. The shakes are far better than the LL ones IMV. Welcome btw! :)

    Hi I'm Starting tomorrow, need diet buddies

    hi clair *waves*, plenty of support here! I have an irritating uncle who makes comments about my (and everyone else he finds huge) weight. Next time he says anything, I'm going to say "ah but I'm losing weight, whereas you'll always be a knob!"
  159. GinaLangland

    Update on my ex friend! You'll love this!!

    haha! Excellent p.s. was the husband a reasonable ****? ;)

  164. GinaLangland

    start of day 2

    Plenty of water and plenty of sleep will get you through the first week (take it from me, I did neither and suffered - hindsight is a wonderful thing!) :)

    First weigh in

    Thank you so much for the encouragement, everyone. I was reading this thread at work today and wiping away a little tear at your kindness :) No tea or coffee today, just coke zero and water. No other extras. So much water (4ltrs) that I was barely out of the ladies lol
  170. GinaLangland

    so upset i cant believe it

    ^^ exactly - love only those that love you, a pretty good mantra. I recently deleted a whole family of individuals off my fb as they were highly negative about me sometime last year. Made me feel better :)

    Hi all, my first weekly WI and I have lost a staggering 2 pounds. Disappointed it's not the stellar results I had hoped. I am putting it down to; being a natural slow starter (was like this on LL too) Not enough water Too many milky teas A couple of glasses of cava Not enough exercise So...

    Wow that sounds brilliant! Really glad you've had a great day. We must be twins, I started on Tuesday, had a rough week and today I am bursting with energy, painted a room, haven't stopped! Hope your tomorrow is just as good! :)
  185. GinaLangland

    Rant warning - unhelpful OH!

    I'm really sorry to hear that your gran has died, have a hug. Also it sounds concerning that you have moved away from your support network, even though it's to be with your partner (who IMV should be your primary support group!). How often are you able to see your family and friends, hopefully...

    Today is good because....

    I've had a good day because I went out to a social event, didn't eat any of the food, and still had a good time!
  194. GinaLangland

    The reason I am this big & yo yo

    I totally concur with this, I eat (and drink) for emotional reasons. Last night our housemate offered me a glass of cava and I drank it. I needed a reward/wind down from a very stressful day. Today I posted how unwell I felt and it was because of that nasty cava. This afternoon we went to...
  195. GinaLangland

    Day 5 and feel dreadful

    I think it must be a carb withdrawal thing, as I was a fairly heavy wine drinker before starting this, as well as other carbs like bread etc :( I felt better as the day went on, with some caffeine and a lot of water, as well as my three packs. Tired now tho!
  196. GinaLangland

    Three weeks done and.....

    wow that's great! Well done :)

    Day 5 and feel dreadful

    I have taken to my bed with a cup of tea with some milk and the paracetamol. Feeling better for lying down xx
  199. GinaLangland

    Day 5 and feel dreadful

    thanks, I suspect it's withdrawal of something or other :(

    fantastic loss! Really pleased for you!

    Day 5 and feel dreadful

    still in ketosis but I have a blinding headache, feel very sick and dizzy :( what shall I do?
  202. GinaLangland

    What have you lost?

    OMG, I've realised I'm carrying a young calf around with me the whole time. No wonder I'm knackered (but not short of milk)
  203. GinaLangland

    What can you hear right now?

    rain falling on the windows

    where are u from??

    Bristol, England
  205. GinaLangland

    I feel like a failure.

    When I did lighter life 3 years ago, I lost only 3/4 pounds each week in the first three weeks, whereas the rest of the class were losing 8/9 pounds. I soon caught up with them though. Everyone's different so don't worry!
  206. GinaLangland

    Day 3

    I am also a carbaholic (a big part of this is red wine!) so I am finding it difficult, even now I'm in ketosis and my hair is falling out! I'm sure it just takes a few days to adjust :)
  207. GinaLangland

    Week 1 and I've lost..........

    Brilliant news, well done!!
  208. GinaLangland

    Dont know what I am doing

    If I click on my username, I just get a box telling me I can't access my profile yet. :sigh: Need to post more posts! (oh I just did)

    What can you drink on Exante

    just to confirm, when talking about tea and coffee we mean black tea and coffee?
  211. GinaLangland

    Bit jittery!!

    I'm just on day three and felt a bit odd this afternoon, quite nauseous and couldn't focus or concentrate - had some water and black coffee and felt fine. You'll get through it, one hour at a time ;)
  212. GinaLangland

    It ain't over

    hey guys, thanks for the welcome. I'm a badass church singer ;) lots of rocking in the aisles and all that. And I also direct a junior choir. Would like to look good as well as sing nice!! :)
  213. GinaLangland

    Hello all

    Thanks so much! I think I slipped into ketosis this morning so I'm feeling positive :) (long way to go yet)
