Hi Cli
Looks like you have a winning attitude. The first week is tough but if you can make it through that, then you can go all the way.
After all, you've seen that the weightloss on LT can be stunning and very quick but that doesn't come without some sacrifice and the hardest bit comes first.
Just imagine how you'll feel when your weight starts dropping off and you start to literally shrink.
I think we're really lucky to know about this diet because although it's strict and very testing, for me, it's much easier than letting me loose on food and the agonising disappointment of a small loss and regain on other diets I've tried - they didn't fail; I did.
I wonder if many of us find it easier because it's total abstinence from food and we cope better without the flexibility of a normal diet.
You will win - just get trough the first week and as someone's already said, your weigh-ins will spur you on.
3 years ago I was 18st 8lbs and I'm never going back. Whilst I'm still short of my goal, my life has been transformed.
You can and will do it - if you're feeling low, or tempted, come on to this site - it's a life-saver and then go to bed early!
