Yes we will get there!! I was totally disgusted with my weight gain, I was the heaviest I've been in 16 years, horrible but I'm determined this is the last time I'll be this heavy!! My oh can eat what he likes, cycles 30+ miles a week too!! Lol :-) What did you lose this week? I hope you had a...

Maybe ditch the shaker and use a hand blender or whisk instead? I use 250-275ml water for shakes and about 250ml for soup and they always turn out ok xxx

Thanks Laura, it will be good to motivate :-) how are you getting on with the diet? Xxx

Week one weigh in, drum roll please .................. 8lbs :-) Inch loss - 3.5 waist 1.5 bust 2.0 hips 0.5 thigh I was super surprised at the inch loss more than the weight loss, delighted with that but amazing results with the inches, treated myself to some chargrilled chicken and...

I have done lighter life before 3 times but never stuck to it fr more than 7 weeks at the longest, I did lose 25lbs the longest time and I did get really good first week losses but I'm trying not to compare this diet with that one and trying to keep this as a complete fresh start like I have...

Zozozela I too have weigh in tomorrow but am on day 6 today, how are you finding it? Xxx

Hi I do make my soups with boiled kettle water, they cool down so quickly with water that's just hot from the kettle that they need to be microwaved for 15-20 secs anyway so if its about nutrient depletion then they'll deplete whichever way I make them so I just do it with water just boiled from...

So that's day 4 over :-) I have had a very busy day, went for a 175 mile round trip to visit an old friend, the journey was a good one, thank goodness for heaters in the footwell of the car, my feel were like icebergs. Only managed to have 3 packs today as there really are not enough hours in...

Good luck, xxx

Well done on your loss :-) you do deserve it, you may have fallen off the wagon but you got right back on it xxx

Thanks for all the messages today :-) I did have only 3 packs today, I'll be back on 4 tomorrow, might alternate the days between 3&4 I'd like just to do the sole source if 3 packs but I can't be bothered with the rigmarole of bothering the doctor for his signature and all that jazz, when I...

Well day 3 is almost over, going to jump in the shower blowdry and straighten my hair and go to bed, tested my pee today and I have traces of ketones, whoop whoop! Will check again in the morning :-) Hope everyone's had a great day :-) Xxx

Cheers ladies, it does sometimes take a while to get in to the mindset, I am totally chuffed that I didn't go on a food bender because of one blip, had about 750 ml of water after my pack and a cup of tea, refusing the offered biscuit that went with it!!! :-) That's the end of day 2, in bed...

Well it doesn't feel like I've done much damage, my hands are like blocks of ice bbbrrrr. Going up to do my friends hair tonight so it'll be straight home and bed when I am finished and going to try and limit whatever damage has been done by only having 3 packs tomorrow. Xxx

You are doing amazingly well for all you're having to endure this year so far, keep going, this forum is fabulous and a brilliant support network. I hope I can get losses like what you have, Chin up <3 Xxx

Thanks :-) I went to visit a friend today who by the time I got there had made sandwiches for lunch, I ate it :-( So bad, but I'm having a shake now, the line is drawn under it and I'm moving on, I would normally say feck it for today and start or sorry try to start again tomorrow, not this...

So here goes, thought I'd write a diary just to keep me on track. My name is Emma and I'm 31, I have been fat and thinish many times in my life, weight watchers, slimming world, lighterlife and now Cambridge. I seem to be an all or nothing kind of girl and conventional diets are ok but not...

I too am on day one ? I did LL 3 years ago and lost 25lbs in 7 weeks and didn't carry on, back on Cambridge today weighing the most I have since being a teenager, only about half a stone ish away from my heaviest ever, I would like to initially lose around 3 stone then possibly another...

Lots and lots of water, try n have your packs at equal times throughout the day, at least for the first week, don't be dismayed when things get tough, they will, but know after day 5 at the longest it does get a bit easier then every day after that is easier than the last, I did LL for 7 weeks...

Well done to you! You must be well chuffed!! Xxx

Today has been ok so far, got a thumper of a sore head, but it's to be expected I suppose :-( I was commuting carbacide for the past week so it's no wonder! Lol! Lyn that would be great, :-) its always good to motivate and to be motivated! Aqua aerobics tonight too, :-) Thanks for all the...

Good luck Pam, I too have done LL and I can not justify £70ish a week not to eat food lol!! Well done for sticking to it, I'm back on it 100% from today, started a couple of weeks ago but I just was not mentally ready, I am now lol!! Emma Xxx

I don't mind them with plenty salt and pepper, also didn't know about using soy sauce, must try that!! Xxx

I started a couple of weeks ago but I was not ready, had a week off and now I am back to day one. So today for breakfast I am having my vanilla shake hot with coffee and a sweetener, I'm not having bars for the first 4 days to aid getting in to ketosis quicker, fingers crossed, managed to get...

Hey, I have just started again too, do you mind if I join your group too? I weighed in at 13.9 last night and I would like to get my 5% goal first which will take me to 12.4. I would eventually like to get to 11, possibly 10.7 but going to just take each week as it comes as when I start giving...

I'm 5.1 and currently sitting at 13.7 :-( would really like to get down to 10 something, was 11.3 after LL 2 years ago after starting it around the same weight, was a size 12/14 very comfortable at that weight but years ago I was 9.7 and a size 10 so getting to 10 something would be good for me...

I was staving tonight, had a bouillon drink and more water, freezing already, bbbbbrrrrr!! in bed to keep warm!! Hoping ketosis kicks in soon and doesn't take 5 or so days, Good luck to today's starters :-) Emma Xxx

Slimman there are recipes to keep you in ketosis on the exante website, possibly they will be budget friendly to you :-) Try the gym if it works for you then cool, if not then cool too. You have to do what's best for you :-) Wishing you well Emma Xxx
