Day one tomorrow

[wibbletum]

i went to the pharmacy today and they gave me the DVD to watch, taking it back tomorrow morning and starting my first day. Looking forward to finally getting started. Weight is getting me really down and holding me back from doing the things i want to do.

I have polycystic ovaries and weight loss has been very difficult. Tried a lot of diets and the problem is they involve food!! Not helped by the fact i am such an emotional eater, so hope that having a break from using food as a crutch will help me realise i dont need to pig out when i feel happy, sad, angry, tired etc!!

Looking forward to coming on here for some inspiration and kicks up the backside!!

Hi ladies

I have not started LT yet but have watched the video etc. I am a little worried about doing the diet to be honest and I would love to hear how you get on in your first week, it may help me have the courage to do the diet.

Good luck to you both x

Let's hope you're an emotional shake drinker. Hurrah!

Hiya, I am on day 9, and I was always one to say " I cant do that, I cant go without eating" and "if you lose that fast it will go on that fast" and basically all the fears, worries and frankly excuses that you can use or have heard. But because a friend of mine started it and lost a stone in her first week then 6lb in her 2nd I was , to be honest JEALOUS , so I decided to bite the bullet and try it, I have been up and down with weight from having my first child, and that wonderful daughter will be 18 in October, so thats a long time, did WW lost it, came off, and slowly it crept on and more, did SW lost it, once again slowly came on and yet more, then over the next few years i lost a stone or sometimes 2 stone, then back on AND MORE! so whats to lose? apart from the weight i need to? or a few quid if i cant do it?
week one is hell i found but today, my day 9 has actually been a breeze and trust me when i say i never thought i would say that. And as for it going back on? as people have so rightly pointed out on here that unless we change how we are once we are at goal then it will go back on no matter what diet we have done. So I am feeling positive, it can take me 7-8 weeks to get a stone off at WW or SW, with this you have the chance that it will come off in a week or two weeks.....THATS whats spurring me, yes its hard to cook for my family and to watch them eat sometimes, but its not forever. Dont know if this helps but it helps me get it straight in my mind xx

It means so much to read posts like that. You're very right. Thinking I'll see a nutritionist when I'm at goal.

Wow this thread has motivated me so much!! I'm finally going to get my act together and start tomorrow!!! Glad u r starting Tomorro too !!!

 

[Rigvon]

Maybe reading all of these posts are doing me good. I had a lovely dream last night where I'd hit my goal. Bit optimistic for night 2!

started today, felt nervous going in to get weighed but the pharmacy lady was lovely and so nice and supportive. Had my first shake a bit late at 11am and it tasted okay, not as bad as i expected but it did give me a bit heartburn and i could taste it for hours afterwards. Dont feel hungry yet but going to try the chocolate in a mousse tonight.

 

[Rigvon]

I've not tried the mousse ad yet. Let me know how you get on

 

[wibbletum]

had the chocolate as a mousse tonight and it was easier to get down. I managed to drink it with a glass of water and swallow the mousse so i didnt really taste it. I am struggling to want to eat them though. Im going to try the soup tomorrow!
