Afternoon! dietninja- good job on the steps you've done! I've done zilch today so far! Must start walking! My husband has a FitBit, what do you use? I'm sure these computers and phones these days have a predetermined lifespan, so that we're forced to keep replacing them - or am I being too...

Hello everyone! TGIF. Long day at work today, ending with a total git of a 'customer', thinking it's fine to talk to me like I'm a piece of dirt, while I remain calm and pleasant! Grrrrr! Times like this when a cold glass of something alcoholic would be very welcome to help unwind. Still...

Thanks Jo! Felt so stupid. Sleep well Danni!

Oh dear Zoe, What's up?

Sorry I messed up the thread earlier. Hope you are all OK.

*up and *which I - weird predictive word, that one!

Feeling a bit like you today Jo. Had a awful night - kept getting cramp in my feet and has to keep getting cup to pee ehichbi haven't had to do before. My CDC told me I could increase my water to 4l but I don't think it suited me, hence the cramp! So back to 3 today. Managed to give away the...

Evening! Well done skellybob and ginabeany on your losses! I'm now considering a meatball as an aid to weight loss this week - or maybe a chicken bite lol! Welcome meela - agree that TOTM may well affect your first week's loss as some people do tend to retain fluid at this time. You'll probably...

Evening all! Hope everyone is doing OK paigesmum, I'm so sorry to hear that you've got gout. It's not age related at all, but it is a known side effect of some VLCDs. That sucks, particularly as you were doing so well. I know that it can be excruciatingly painful - has the doctor given you...

Just got home from my weigh in - 8lbs off for me! I can do this! Well done my fellow first weekers! Haven't we all done well?

I too am freezing today Jo1989! Brrrrrr! Good luck with the weigh in at 4pm allneedles. I agree with everything that Jo1989 said - try not to be disheartened! My first weigh is at 7pm straight after work.

So I guess there are four of us weighing in tomorrow at the completion of our first week! Really excited, particularly having read earlier posts about other people's first week results! I have resisted the scales all week, as I was worried that my loss would be small and scared that this may...

Wonderful losses everyone! Are the Exante packs nicer dietninja? Got through my first Saturday - 1 pack still to have. Saturday is the day we normally take the dog for a walk and go at the pub for a pint. Haven't missed the alcohol at all! I like mixing the banana and chocolate together and...

I don't think she's in the right mindset for any sort of packs right now allneedles. I guess she needs to find her own way forward. I must admit I was a bit worried to start with as a few years ago she tried LL and the exact same thing happened. I think she is probably going to be better with...

Thanks Jo, that I'm doing.! She says she can't stomach the packs, so she is going to try something like SW. I'm just sad that this didn't work out for her because she was so excited over Christmas.

Oops I posted before I'd finished! I needed to lose a load of weight, but only did CD because I wanted to support her. I'm continuing though, and hanging on in there. We live over a hundred miles apart, so I can't go to her and support her in person.

Feeling sad today. My daughter had dropped out after just 5 days.

Well done dietninja! Brilliant result. Don't know how to 'like' a post on my tablet. but consider it liked!

I love reading all your comments! I think we all need to give ourselves a big fat pat on our fast diminishing backs. Everyone is doing so well- it helps me so much when I'm having a 'moment. ' Are many of you feeling the cold more? I have been like a walking radiator for the last year or so...

Hi Poppy and allneedles, I'm also on day 4. I've managed 3 litres of water each day, although when I need to pee, I have to sprint to get to the loo in time! I'm just trying a mug of the savoury broth. Its just about palatable, but I suppose it's nice just to have something different. Had an...

Well done Ginabeany! Costco not a good place to go at the moment, I wouldn't have thought- all that yummy food! And the cakes! Oh the cakes! And then hubby eating in front of you! Some of us have to be made of strong stuff! And you're certainly one of them. Well done on your weight loss!

Wonderful weight gone for ever Skellybob! Very inspiring! You must be so pleased- well done! I've just got in from work. My day 3 today. Been a bit headachy and peckish today! May have an early night. My first weigh on Tuesday. Anxiously excited.

I must try the coconut oil! Funnily enough, I have it in, as my dog has a spoonful a day on his food as his skin gets dry (vet recommended). So he'll maybe have to share! I get mine from Tesco and the vet recommended that I only use the organic virgin type. Dawn, could you stomach it better as...

Well, first day over. Day off work today. Terrified that I'll get starving later, so actually haven't had a pack yet, which probably isn't good. Drinking my water though, already downed a litre. I'm loving the advice and support from you guys, its invaluable to know I'm not alone with this! So...

You'll be fine Flip! Don't cheat! xxx

Hi skellybob! Hang on in there . Get a good night's sleep hun. Step 2 may be what you need right now. Hugs. x

I just had a thought......... I read that you should consume your packs within 15 minutes of making them up, as they start to lose their nutritional value after this. Does that mean they lose calories as well? I think I'm becoming very slightly hysterical after my first (no cheating) day...

First day (on S2). Just had first pack - the Chilli Soup thing. OK. So far had 11/2 litres water, two coffees and a cup of tea. Being at work is helping I think, although we have loads of chocs and biscuits left over from Christmas. Feeling positive so far.! Hope everyone else is having a good...

Yes I'm a Surgery Manager (in a small Branch Surgery for a much bigger Practice). Originally trained to be Phlebotomist and a Clinical Technician in a Clinical Trials setting. I occasionally do phlebo clinics if I have a member of staff on leave or sick. Also work (weirdly) in Notts! Oh! and...

Smelly vampire Skellybob! I'm a phlebo too, but also work in admin, so don't have that worry too often!

I'm starting S2 on Monday and my daughter is starting SS on Tuesday (we live 150 miles apart). Her tag is Flipols. Any encouragement for us both will be eagerly received! Hope everyone is fulfilling their expectations! Have a great weekend!

Hi there, I agree wholeheartedly with Catwoman. I have just had my fourth weigh (I started a month ago) and have lost 19lbs. it hasn't been difficult and I am starting to feel all my old confidence back! I get bored sometimes, but then catch sight of myself in the mirror and realise a little...

Very well done! Good isn't it, this LLL thing! marcia x

Hi Kat, I'd pass on both I'm afraid. The mint sauce will be full of sugar and the gravy will be full of starch. Alternatives are a little bit of the meat juices unadulterated (no thickener or bisto) and you could chop some fresh mint really finely and add some vinegar to taste. if you need...

Great advice Minerva, thank you. I realised that the losing bit is very much the easy part, having dropped weight on a diet before and then got that, "hey, I'm invincible, I can do what I like now - look at me, I'm thin" kind of attitude, only to be shaken to the core - when before long, I have...

Thanks for that Minerva! I've just looked at your weight stats -WOW!! Has it been difficult maintaining? Marcia. x

Hi Catwoman! Great loss, that's really inspiring! I'm going for my second weigh in tomorrow night. I lost 8lb after my first week , so even a small loss tomorrow will be great! Thanks for replying, I was feeling a little lonesome!!! My target is also 10st - I hope my overall loss is as good...

Agree - hence my new thread! Well done you - that's brilliant, and your weight loss is very inspiring. I've just started LLL, on my second week. Not keen on many of the packs, but perservering..... Marcia. x

Doesn't seem to be much action on this board. Aren't many people doing LLL? If you're out there, I'd love to hear from you!

OK, I'm in too. First DD yesterday and I found it tough going. But I'm determined and need a challenge! :cupid:Juddd Valentines Day Challenge :cupid: Stirky - 14lbs Shep - 17lbs Clairemx - 14lbs Nickiboop - 12lbs Emmasmum - 12lbs marcia jones - 16lbs

Hi and a happy slender 2010 to all Juddders! Like other people I am starting my first down day tomorrow, 4th Jan. Nice to know I'm not alone! Hope we all have a good first day - will catch up again tomorrow evening! Good luck everyone!

Hi HOE! Yes the book arrived - but I managed to get myself the US edition which means some of the products in the recipes are not available over here! Oh well, I'm reading away - looking very interesting. I have got to sort out my 20% and then just get the hell on with it! By the way - loved...

Thanks everyone! Still waiting for the book - maybe Monday? Have a good weekend y'all!

Ignore ticker - this is an old one!!!!!

It's not yet! I'm still waiting for the book to arrive, so I can arm myself with all the information. One question I have though is this; If over Christmas, I have two consecutive days where I am due to go out to eat (UD's), can I do two DD's consecutively beforehand? Or is that cheating...

Hello everyone, i'm a newbie in waiting! Have ordered the book and have been lurking around looking at how you all are getting on. Are any of you using meal replacements on the DD's? marcia. x
