Hi Deezer I like many before me would not have made it through my first 2 weeks without your advice & encouragement so do check out your old posts. Remember you are not super human we all have blips so don't beat yourself up. Don't look back LOOK FORWARD!!! YOU CAN DO IT!! Debbie xx

Thanks Dee Got weighed this morning and lost 4 lbs, to be honest it didn't motivate me this week but I'm gonna try for another week just trying to take it one day at a time. x

Thanks Pam will defo take your advice on board though to be honest I'm still undecided whether to come off TFR just cause I'm not coping well emotionally. Have been feeling very flat and I suppose unhappy. I know I should rise above it but I'm really struggling!! X

Dee I have no idea why my body would need more water. I am a social worker so not a particularly active job. I am kept busy with my two girls but still not enough to make me dehydrated. Who knows ... I'm a mystery!!

OMG Shivie you look gorgeous what a transformation ... you must be so pleased .... WELL DONE YOU!! X

Hi Debbie there are two of us now!! I had approximately 3 1/2 stone that i want to lose. Lost 13 lbs in my first week and could hardly believe it. I felt very motivated after that but am really struggling more with the lifestyle or lack of than hunger. Just think my willpwer isn't great. Hoping...

Thanks for all the advice going to get a scraper and mouth wash ASAP, but can't really drink anymore water as I'm advised no more than 4 litres and generally I drink that everyday. To be honest I'm considering trying refeed then maintenance. Just don't feel great most of the time and with a two...

Hi Guys Has anyone had trouble with a dry yellow tongue? :argh: I have been drinking at least 3 to 4 litres of water per day and reg brush my tongue but it does'nt seem to be making any difference. I would be grateful for some tips!! Ta Debbie xx

Good luck for today, hope it's a good one! x

Hi Tracey A big welcome to you, just to let you know I'm able to get into jeans that didn't fit me a week ago .... yes after just one week of the diet. It is so worth the hard work so like I said to Angela dig deep and you'll get through the first week. The second week gets much easier!! Good...

No soda water has no taste, it's basically fizzy water!

Keep strong Brochmor and remember that's 11 1/2lbs in 2 weeks what other diet would you get those results from and Dee is right you'll most likely get a big loss next week. So onwards and downwards you can do it!! X

Hi Angela and welcome! You have made a wise decision to start LT. I'm in my second week and thankfully it is so much easier. I thought it might help to share my experience to date. Week one was hell for me and there were many times I nearly caved in. I'd say days 2 and 6 were my hardest but by...

Good luck with your new goal and congrats for getting back on LT, you've done brilliantly so far so I'm sure it won't be a problem to you!! Don't know about you but the success stories on this forum inspire me and sure does make me feel I can do it too! xx

I had been spending a fortune on buying a bigger size then another and another but no more, I'm defo giving my bigger sizes to charity just as soon as they get too big. I think my fortune is getting smaller!! Dee, you are always so positive and up beat ... a great way to be, I love reading your...

Hi Helen, sorry I can't provide any tips (I'm newish to LT) but I did want to wish you good luck for the future. Really sounds like the maintenance would be perfect for you. Debbie xx

Dee I will be following your example ... out with too BIG clothes, never to be worn again!!

Soda water has no taste unless of course you add something stronger to it? (we wish!!) Peggysue, like you I have size 10 to 18 clothes in wardrobe (or in the loft) and I can't believe I'm a 16 in one week, would be nice to go down a size every week xx

Just checked I only have 21 posts, must get posting!!

Thanks not sure how many posts I've had now. Do you know how I can type in my week by week or goals or is that the same? Sorry to be such a thicko!!

Congrats .. thats fabulous!! Hope you have a fab day looking gorgeous xx PS Your are truly inspirational to all trying to reach their goals x:talk017:

I've been sorting my old small clothes in order of when they will fit. Can't wait to wear my river island skinny jeans again, hopefully for wedding anniversary weekend away and secret pleasure is cooking ... weird or what? (obviously not for me though and I don't even care ..more weird)

Hi gettingskinny is this your first time on LT cause you are doing so well and very positive. Have to say I found the first week hell but week 2 is so much easier. Don't know whether that was the weight loss or just getting my head round no ****. Prob both I'd say! Was thinking you'll be flying...
