Hi Flamecoral, When is your next weigh in, Sending lots of positive warm and fuzzys your way xxx

Ooooh, I like this thread.... I truly have lost a spare tyre.....and a hamster! I hope my ostrich egg goes missing in the next 7 days!

I spoke with the Pharmacist, and he told me it won't make any difference to the weight loss, but I have lost out on the vitamins and minerals that I need to keep the body healthy. Loosing 3 shakes because I have been too pre-occupied with other things means I have lost one day's worth of meals...

Good luck Emma, Kink and Bethyi, stick with it!

I have spent many wasted years crying over my increasing weight, but never enough time celebrating my victories when I achieved them. I know I have certain milestone weights and dates that are etched in my brain. Maybe you do too! Whether its to get back to a pre baby weight, or how much you...

Hi Emma, I am on day 8 of my second attempt at 100% LT, and I am going for my first weigh in later. The first time round, I fell off the wagon on day 3 and 4, did maintenance for a bit then dusted myself down and started over. This time round I joined this forum, and I log on several times a...

I appreciate the advice on here. I have always been a terror for hopping on the scales to see how I am doing. I can't bear the pain if I see no gain! I have been doing a major job hunt every spare second I have at the moment, so I am in overdrive and my hungry and thirsty niggles are severely...

Oooo! sounds nice, I was struggling to think of what to have for my last meal tonight, as I don't want to miss another shake that would be 3 misses this week!

Can you let this thread know the definate answer on that? As I cannot bear Vanilla and cinnamon just might make it more palatable

Work - Out

Hope things are a bit brighter this morning xxx

Thanks ladies, I should be on for a stunning weight loss for the week when I go to the Pharmacy tomorrow, but day on day it looks like I went up a pound last night. 2 mega stressful days with lots more black coffee than usual when out and about and around normal food, but didn't keep my big 2...

Hi, I am still 100% TFR but this is the 2nd day this week when I have been too busy/stressed to get all 3 shakes down. The last 24 hours my weight looks like it is going up not down. Has this happened to anyone else?

j - lo - diva

Keep going everyone. We are overcoming adversity together. My blender broke earlier (I like to whip a lot of air into it to make it seem like I am eating something!) so I had to shake my shake :-(, sitting here with conjunctivitus and nasty birthday food is all around the house....and I am out...

must be something in the water here. everything goes clumpy!

Arrgh!:mad: I have just come in from Tesco's after buying nice things for no 2 daughter's birthday dinner tonight. As a pre-emptive strike I decided to reward myself in advance with some reduced flowers as a reminder for the next few days how well I have done being in day 5 and so far...

tree-tops

Thanks for the warning about day 10 & 11! I got my Fibreclear from the pharmacy last night and worked things along nicely over-night. I don't feel as sluggish as I did, although still a little "bunged" Might have another spoonful tonight in coffee a few hours before bedtime!

Sterling - Moss (most of you will be too young! Sigh!)

Good luck for your weigh in later today Lisa, look forward to seeing how you got on xxx

Well done you! You should be proud and pat yourself on the back!!!

I am having the opposite! I am loosing weight as eventually I will have to have a hysterectamy as my TOTM last 2 - 3 weeks every cycle. I can't leave the house without sitting on plastic bags in the car or furniture, and wearing Granny Incontinence knickers on aswell normal day to day ladies...

Good for you Chicken! Every victory is still a victory, even if you are the only one celebrating. Anyway, come friday you might well have lost 1 and half stone. 13 lb in one week is only 1lb off a stone anyway. I bet come Friday you will be glowing with pride of your achievements this...

I am glad I am not the only one having their last meal late at night!

Hi Jess, It is a dilemma. He clearly holds value to prioritising things and self improvement in his personal life before making contact with you again. Maybe explaining that you are going through your life spring cleaning on a non romantic front may not be such a bad thing, but stall it for...

Vicky, I know this might sound crazy, but have you thought about ordering a made to measure dress. There are lots of made to measure from Thailand and Hong Kong on ebay that make up in 6 weeks for a fraction of what most brides pay. You don't say how far ahead your wedding is, but if you...

We are all here for the same reason, so whichever TFR we are using let's support each other. There are plenty of folks on the outside on real food diets who are ready to tear us down. If these shakes were too delicious do you think we would learn portion control and stick to 3 shakes/soup a...

When I tried LT first time around, my falling off the wagon was 7 pickled onions, but that was the start of a slippery slope which put me back on refeeding before getting my head back in the game again for this second crack at Week 1. Day 4 of 100% so feeling more successful, and not worth...

I have a mental image in my mind of how I want to look, it was in the days when I didn't worry about weight. Getting weighed was a once a year thing on the pier with a 20p in the slot of a weigh machine. My "scales" were my clothes, and I want back into a strapless black dress with no bingo...

Dear "Always" "Have a happy period.Always" Are you taking the fing mick? Do you not understand the concept of PMS? Yours ragefully and not in control of my actions!

Ah, I hope Deezer post's on this thread and let's us know all about it!

Clue - Less

When I was on it, couldn't get enough of the stuff. Mixed with finely chopped vegetables as a sandwich filler, stirred into soups to get a creamy like consistency. Try vanilla essence a drop at a time give a good stir before taste testing may help, especially if you save some sins for a...

A good meal for alternate Christmas dinner so you don't get tempted by all the usual trappings: Diet Dr Pepper Gammon! Boil your gammon in a two litre bottle of Dr Pepper according to the instructions on your gammon. Save the boiling liquid to make gravy with granules from your daily...

My fav SW meal when I was on it was: Poached eggs on microwaved spinach with a touch of mustard mixed into lightly warmed natural yogurt and a pinch of pepper Free on all versions, ideal if you can't make your mind up what day to have, especially if you are going out for a meal later on in...

Chicken, I know what you mean! I live by the sea, and I hate being the only person on the beach covered head to toe, when everyone else is running about in bikinis! Here to summer and a lot less of us on the beach this year ( fingers crossed!)

Hi Cuqsuita, Just been reading through your posts. Hoping that you are doing ok, and that your housemates are now being a bit more supportive. Have a good weekend! xxx

yes "waist" not, want not! no point eating if you are not going to use it as fuel. I would not cook a healthy meal for myself before then scrapped it straight into the toilet bowl. Total waste! A nice big pat on the back to us to addressing our issues properly!:grouphugg:

Into day 3 and have a bit of a growler tummy going on:mad: Hopefully it will settle down, roll on tomorrow I will get some fibre stuff from the pharmacy too, as I know its my system needing to get a wriggle on! (sorry if TMI!)

I must admit Fairman, that I should have joined here 4 weeks ago when my daughter did. Being in it altogether online makes it a lot easier. If I am being tempted I can just log on and bring my water with me until the feeling passes. Don't think the diet will cure repetative strain injury...

Morning Ladies, I ended the day 100% yesterday with chicken soup at 10.30pm, so well chuffed.Getting ready for what I would have called breakfast shortly.Might have Strawberry this morning. I have already had 1 litre of water throughout the morning since waking and the scales are showing a...

Hope you start to feel better soon xxx, keep drinking your water too, even if you have to take a 2 litre lemonade bottle to bed with you, that's half your days water without trekking backwards and forwards!

Ooh, Nettle Tea is an acquired taste, but when you are fed up of drinking water is makes a change!

I admit that I can't bear ordinary black tea without milk, but I do quite like Earl Grey black and with sweetner tablets (although I need about 8 to make it palatable!)

Also, another thing to factor in is the fact if you live on your own, you save on gas and electricity for cooking. Another plus if you are not cooking for anyone else is that you find more free time on your hands as you are not constantly at the supermarket or preparing food. For me, we had...

I was thinking about Zumba, but worried that a class would be too much to early on. After 4 kids I need to seriously tone my tummy but I don't think it will cure saggy skin I was left with from my first pregnancy!

ah, so now you know what to treat your mum to now xxx:p

lol, me too :D

The first time I did LT a few weeks back, I had some serious DIY to do, 8 hours of back to back painting killed me. Still have half a house to paint so did about 1 hour burst yesterday while constantly sipping water so as not to get over tired. As we are on only about 400 calories a day to...

no buy I would like to know more, as when I am done with all my weight loss I am promising myself a tummy tuck and may need a bit of lipo, but would like to limit the amount of surgery I put myself through

bus - stop

Well done for sticking with it xxx

Lol at smelling food in 5 mile radius

Old school

Hi Jessaqua, I don't like water either. In fact part of my original downfall with weight gain is I would prefer to get my liquid intake from food rather than have a drink with my meal. I have found sipping little and often stops my mouth from detecting the non-taste of water. I have been...

My pharmacist said that Ketone sticks are unnecessary the weight loss is the only proof needed that Ketosis is achieved. Does your initial starting weight determine how quickly you get into Ketosis? thanks

Are the listerine strips "safe" to keep you in Ketosis?

Dawn, I suffered this first time round too, but I must admit my previous food habits were very high in fibre so it seemed like I was always on the loo, made a nice change to just wee and go! On day 2 of a restart on tfr 100% so haven't quite reached that again yet!

Hi Lei I am a relative noob to LT, on my second attempt at LT and coming to end of day 2. good luck to all of us xxx

teeth

I am looking forward til when we can both go into Primark and buy anything we want in the whole shop and it WILL fit and look good Take plasters for tomorrow for your feet xxx

Well, I couldn't decide whether to post here or my blog, so decided not to decide and posted on both! Day 2 - 66.67% there Posted 5 Minutes Ago at 08:50 PM by approaching 40 Tags Well, on target so far for today. 2 TFR meals down, and one to go. Strawberry for breakfast, and Vanilla for...

i must admit, I had wondered about that too in case I got caught out on the hop, best jusy to stick with the water and wait til I get home for a shake!

very inspiring, hope i can do half as well as you have Betsy!

Snap!;);)

Hi Ava, Glad lunch went ok. Its good your aunty is supportive. My 19 year old daughter has been on TFR for 4 weeks and has lost over 1.5 stone, but with 3 other mouths to feed it's easier said than done!

Hi Coral, today hasn't been to hard as had one small meal before going to pharmacy this afternoon. Have had 2 litres of water so far, and have another 2 litres bottle next to me in bed, hope tomorrow stays good 100%

Coral, You are changing already by taking charge! My daughter has a response to this, even if she only says it quietly in her head. I may be fatter than I would like NOW, but I can always diet, I don't think there is a cure for "Spiteful" ! :grouphugg:

Hi Today I swear I have swollen up with a belly the size of a watermelon. my scales say I have put on 5lb since yesterday morning. Scales may lie, but trousers don't! But the trousers I wore yesterday, I cannot even do the button up today. this is my first TOTM since embarking on LT. On...

Never did carbonated water first time round, need a bit of help now I am back on the 100%TFR

Hi Ava, You are probably out at lunch already, but when I did TFR on my very first week, I had a business lunch on day 2. I took a vanilla sachet, a little whisk not bigger than a teaspoon and my tablet sweetner dispenser and ordered the largest black coffee they had on the menu. Knocked the...

If you want a low sin soup that tastes amazing, try butternut squash soup with some peanut butter. boil cubed butternut squash in chicken bovril, with finely diced onion, garlic, and potato ( I find 1 part potato to 4 parts squash gives a nice texture without making it too bland or powdery)...

yep, have to vouch for the clingfilm method. to ring the changes after spraying with frylight put a tiny pinch of black pepper and or fresh herbs on the clingfilm before dropping the eggs in. Did this last night for my tea, 3 eggs served on microwaved spinach with 1tbsp piccalilly for an extra kick

Hello Ladies, I am going back to pharmacy tomorrow to re-start tfr, been on maintenance for 2 weeks after wussing out on tfr for 1 week. Never quite found the time to join the forum, so hoping to make some friends that are not too far ahead of me for a bit of support!
