Hi there! On my first week and doing ok..bit tired but feel lighter (with 6 stone to loose)... is a really nice feeling. I am not too keen to announce I am on LT just for a few weeks until I feel confident - having started so many traditional diets and failed miserably!!!! :wave_cry: Anybody have any experiences they can share??

Hi there! On my first week and doing ok..bit tired but feel lighter (with 6 stone to loose)... is a really nice feeling. I am not too keen to announce I am on LT just for a few weeks until I feel confident - having started so many traditional diets and failed miserably!!!! :wave_cry: Anybody have any experiences they can share?? BeaI awalys had my shakes b4 and after work , while at home . it worked for me and i then never had to explain what i was doing .
When a friend started the diet she took hers into work and everyone thought it was great , i then started getting comments like are you on the same diet as 'j' i was like no shes on the same one as me !!!!
What hours do you work thou , bea and is there access to the sink and electrics for your blender ?

I am gone from home from about 7am to 7pm so I do need to have the shakes during the day. I bought one of the plastic shakers - I disappeared to my car and mixed the shakes there and listened to the radio for half hour. Sounds very sad but it wasnt that bad....after week 1 I understand I can use the flapjack which if I can bear to eat them - it might be easier for lunches....until I "come out of the closet"!!
Hope this doesnt sound too sad!!!

Definately only try one flapjack, dont get a weeks worth as they are .....well lets say I dont know too many people that actually liked them.
I personally would rather chew a cardboard box......though I cant say if you will like them or not. So just get one and see how you find it.

Oh no I was *so* looking forward to having a flapjack next week... Specially as there is a peanut butter one! I had it all planned out already, to have a choccy or vanilla shake at breakfast, then a flapjack for lunch, and soup for dinner every day.... Are they really that awful? Mind you, I dont mind eating cardboard, I love All Bran lol!

Oh no they do sound bad!! The pharmacist gave me 2 free to try, I think she knew they were awful! But I just found some 'recipe' ideas on the LL forum - if I can make different extures from thes shakes that might work ok! Have you/anyone tried doing these?

Oh don't say that, now I am dreading trying to eat one!
I made the muffin type thing with a vanilla shake this morning and that was sort of chewy.... going to try the frozen choccy bar or biscuit tomorrow. I feel the need to chew
