Well Done You! Wow - how amazing is that in just 5 days - I hope that this gives you the momentum to carry this through to the end!! Mark

Nice to see I am not the only one back!1 Liile/Shazpaz and Fattothin Have been looking for you all as I knew pre Xmas that I was going to start again in the New Year cos I wanted to finish what I had started but felt like I was the only one who had gone backwards a tad since the first stint...

Easily Done I did the same thing with a chicken soup in a Hotel Room. Was away on business and escaped to my room for my lovely soup - thought it would be great nice and hot - covered the TV and room and bed and me in my suit with the soup. Had a meeting at HQ the next day so spent the night...

Hey - Howdy.... That's a bit tough mate - That's all I have ever got as abuse Fat Ginger ****!! Now I am just a Ginger ****!!!!

Got to be Geography!!

Awesome!Awesome!Awesome!Awesome!Awesome!

Apologies for the lateness of the post - had my last full LT WI on sat and down a further 5lbs so very happy as this is now 4 Stone and 4 lbs in the 8 weeks I gave myself on the "dust". So I have gone from 21 Stone and BMI of 40 plus to 16 Stone and 10lbs and current BMI of 31. My jacket has...

Had my 7th WI yesterday and feel back on track with another 6lbs down. Only going to do one more week on LT as I promised myself at the outset that I would do 8 weeks and then do the rest in a more traditional way. Have been trying to get to 16 and a half stone on LT with a view to getting to...

I have missed one now and again if I have been too busy at work and just had one at night time - no ill effects myself to date and still losing - however I think if you have got them and the time to have them then you should!!

Nic - Hi I use a service through a hosting company 1&1 Internet Ltd. The website builder is as simple as using word docs and you can add photo galleries etc and shopping cart etc and also message boards - I had to take mine down as the site is for 17 year old boys and I couldn't keep up with...

Mines as simple as it can get....nearly 7 Strawberry 7 Soup Love them to bits...........!!

That is truly amazing - well done - I thought I was doing well until now !! Keep it goin!

Throw away the scales - they will just mess with your head - as above - if you stick to the plan you will lose - simple!!! The high of getting weighed in each week is just fantastic so why spoil the surprise by doing it every day!!!

Jey - really pleased you have given it a go _ i have never used any fresh ingredients just the dried stuff - if you can find steak pepper - this has chilli/garlic/pepper and some herbs in - this is my favourite and does not seem to have done me any harm as I have been having for the past 2 weeks...

LOL - that's great - if he doesn't hurry along I am gonna have to go and have my SOUP!!!

That's awesome - well done you!!

Well - we know he is here!!

Hi Title speaks for itself - was wondering how the day has gone - really interested in how you get on as the whole idea of eating again is already causing me some probs in the head and hoping to learn from your experience!!

All of the above are right - My feeling is that before you even start with LT you have to have it nailed in your head that you want to do it - why you want to do it and that no matter what you will do it until you get where you want!! So throw away the scales - they aint gonna help - as the guys...

Flapjacks are an acquired taste and not one I will be acquiring sadly as I had so looked forward to chewing something - Afraid I have had to stick to Strawberry during the day and Soup at night. Boredom of the flavours is now starting to settle in but already know I will stick with it to the end...

I'm with Gaz on this one - mix it with more water and it lasts longer - I don't really get any froth by the time its been warmed in a pan on the hob - found some great steak pepper that has chilli flakes in to sprinkle on it and it is just great!!!

I am a hooker and I cant afford to lose any inches anywhere else!!

Well went for the week 5 5 WI this am and was amazed to have managed another 8lb loss. So surprised as each week goes by and keep expecting the losses to drop down a bit! Shouldn't be complaining though!!! Hoping to hit 16 Stone in another 3 weeks so will be upping my training regime to try...

I hang out for as long as possible until I have the first shake of the day - usually about 3-00pm then have a soup at 8-00pm. Feel fine in the am with just some tea/coffee and water.

Well done - awesome!

Wow - well done - really impressed that you could do this for so long! I have promised myself at the outset that I would do 8 weeks and that would be it! However keep thinking that if I am not where I want to be then maybe another 2 weeks! I think that the buzz of the loses is quite addictive...

Well done you - really pleased for you - has been great reading all your posts this last week and so pleased that you have got off to such a great start - keep it going girl!!

Great news Santy - well done and have a great holiday!!

Go on start today - you can always change your weigh in day to match your friend - I started on a Monday but always weigh in on a Sat morning so that the high of the loss gets me through the weekend and then by Monday it feels as though I am on the home run to the next weigh in day!!

Best of luck girls - the best thing you have done is come here for support - these folks are the best and just reading the site every day keeps me positive!!

Get mine on AURAVITA

Hi - took about 2 weeks for me to really notice but since then I have had to throw away 3 suits and 3 pairs of jeans as I have lost. I am now in my last suit in the cupboard and the trousers are now getting hard to keep up and the jacket is also starting to look like I am a kid wearing a parents...

Awesome - well done you !! Keep it going.............

Hey - thats great and you should continue to be that positive - I think that it is best to view the total over the time rather than take the individual weeks standalone!!

Thats fantastic - well done you!!!

Hi - I use a smoothie maker to do mine at home. I fill my standard issue LT bottle with ice to 450ml and then add water to fill the gaps - throw that in the blender with the powder on top and then whizz for about 2-3 mins - comes out very cold and very frothy and just like a really good...

Nic will be most displeased that it's not just you beating her to it!!!

I live for my evening soup personally - have chilli flakes and loadsapepper and it is just the best - really filling too I find and just like eating as it is hot and you get to use a spoon!! really is the highlight of the day - rest of the time I just have a strab shake at 2 pm everyday!

Never check - just stick to it like the other guys - never weigh myself either and will not have scales in the house - just wait for my WI on saturdays - much more rewarding!!

I have not experienced these problems since week one - however not sure whether the large water intake of 5-7 litres a day keeps things in check or maybe the chilli flakes I have been adding to my soups are doing the trick!!??

Photos in and out of kit in due course - bit more to lose and bit more confidence to build!! Have stepped up the training as well now and am going 3 times a week up to the rugby pitches with my 16 year old son. Having had such great losses I am a bit reluctant to see something lower than 7lbs...

Thanks folks - I think it is down to drinking a reservoir every day that is keeping it up and I have started Rugby training last week - hope I can keep things moving at this pace as it will reduce the number of weeks I have to keep at it........

Hi all Forgot to post on Saturday but down another 9lbs this week - seems to be falling off me!!! I have so far gone almost down 6 inches on the waist and 4 on the chest and just the 1 on the neck!! Halfway there now to where I want to be to start my next rugby season and really pleased -...

Welcome - Soups are great and the best part of the day for me - finish week 4 tomorrow and can't believe how the time has flown - look forward to hearing all your news on your journey through the world of LT!! Good Luck and enjoy it - everyone will wonder why your smiling!

Gaz - just had a closer look - wondered why the moulded chocks were a suggested accessory?????!!!! Bizarre!

Gary - that's ace mate - had to use an empty oil bottle the other day - very tricky - never thought about light aircraft pilots - suppose you are in the know from the job - might get some of these as a laugh for the rest of the team - cheers lol

Had 4 litres already - usually stick between 5 & 6 most days like FTT - some days harder as I work an area for a bank and in the car a lot - am learning where all the supermarkets are recently as regular stops are always needed - I am sure you can all understnd.....

Hey Well done Gerry - great work mate!!

3lbs is a great loss!! Well done and keep it up - bet next week will be BIGGER!!

Welcome! I agree that Water is the trick - but for me after the first few days the whole thing has just become the norm and the way I live my life so not found it too hard. Really look forward to my soup every evening as it feels like a meal!!!! Finish my 4th week on Saturday and can't beleive...

Sheep - I luv your little video there - really cheered up the afternoon - it's not someone you know is it?

Strawberry at 3-00pm every day mixed with equal ice and water in a smoothie maker and blend for about 4 mins - comes out light and frothy and really emjoyable. Soup every night with loads of pepper - eatem as slowly as possible as it is so lovely and as close to eating as I am gonna get...

Good Luck and welcome - you are on your way!! Time will fly bt and the weight will fly off!!

Here Goes in no order Rockstar - Nickelback Summer of 69 - Bryan Adam Fields of Athenry - Dropkick Murphys We'll live and die in these towns - The Enemy Day that i die - Good Charlottr American Idiot - Green Day Thats Entertainment - The Jam Paradise by the dashboard light - Meat Loaf Hurt -...

Fantastic! Well Done!!!!

Love the idea of the rides at Alton Towers - last time I went the man on the ride had to use his knees to get the bar to shut on me - I cud hardly breathe - already down to 48 chest now from 52 so shud fit nicely by the time I go!!

Can't remember a time when I was not bigger than all my friends - even at school!! Lightest i have been in adult life as a 6ft bloke is 14 and a half stone - did that through 18 months of tortuous dieting about 12 years ago and since then have been on a steady incline. Had the excuse that I...

What a loss!1 13lbs is fantastic - Well Done!!

Is there no one at the convent who would understand your predicament and offer a solution? I am sure that all things considered they would be able to find a way around this that is acceptable to all - perhaps someone else could undertake this role whilst you are on LT? Just a suggestion - don't...

Wow ! Fantastic - Well done u! I know just how you feel - the time will fly be now for a few weeks and you will wish it was WI day sooner!!!

Hey - fantastic losses - hope that I can keep up to your rates - inspring mate!!

Hi - Afraid I am a boring Area Manager for a small bank specialising in the mortgage market - so tough times at the moment!!

Hi - I pay £50 a week in Hertfordshire - this went up from £45 that one of my mates was paying last year!!! But the £50 is great as the service, encouragement etc I get from the Pharmacy is fantastic and I have already recommended 2 new clients to them as I was so impressed. Maybe I should have...

Gaz - cheers for that - I am 5ft 11 so they say 12' 7' for me but I have never been below 14 and a half in my adult life so can't see me going beyond that really - however at the moment feel like I need an end point in my head and can count down the days ......will see how it goes and where I am...

Now that does conjour up an amusing picture - thanks that made me laugh out loud!! Gaz - a quick question mate - been admiring your impressive results and really pleased with what I have done so far and feel that this thing is just the way I live at the moment - however when I started I had it...

14 minutes??

This is a great exercise for Core strengthening - I coach Under 17's Rugby and I get the guys doing this all year round as it is soooo good for them - we have some of them who can do over 4 minutes now!! I struggle to get beyond 2 and a half!!

Good Luck - I am on day 18 (not that I am counting) and whilst Day 1 seems so long ago and can remember how excited I was at just starting! That is half the bettle. Now as each day passes I feel better and better as the lbs start to drop. Got a real shock yesterday when I went to my office for...

Awesome start!! Well Done!! Just amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!!

The soup must be a bloke thing cos I love them and really look forward to the one I have evert night!! Aprt from that it;s just the strawbs for me as can't stand the rest and tried a bit of FJ today and was worst thing I had ever eaten - so looks like it will be strawbs and soup for the next few...

Hey - welcome!! Been at this for 8 days now and it gets easier every day for me - do not think about food at all and am so happy cos I know how great it will be when I get to the target!!! The whole thing for me is a mind game and as long as I get that bit right every morning I am fine. Good...

Fantastic loss - well done - I too has my first weigh in on Saturday after just 5 days and had also lost 11lbs so know just how you feel. Starting to really enjoy the whole LP thing now!!! Started on the "Soup" this week and I think that they are fantastic - really look forward to having one...

Oh - and to fattothin - it's union I am afraid - I notice you mention Leeds in one of your other posts so I suppose you may be more of a league fan? I play at Hertford - currently in London Division One!!

Hi all Thanks for the great welcome - great to get home from work today and read all the messages - so far I have had a great 2 days - really thought it would be sooo much harder to get started! However sticking with the advice and drowning in water all day long!! Have been waiting til 3pm...

Thanks Hey - thanks for all your responses - just sitting here having my first "shake" (strawberry) - very nice it is too - is it just the colour that dictates the flavour cos otherwise it would be impossible to tell!! However it tastes better than I thought it would as there seems to be a...

Hi all Amazing - started the LT today having decided to wait until the end of the rugby season and having pencilled in the 12th May for some time now and luckily working from home today so thought I would have a look at what on line support is available and been blown away by all of you on here...
