Morning everyone 
I'm on day 2 of my LT diet and thought I'd start a diary. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't partly to keep myself occupied (haha) but I also thought that if I put it out there it would act as motivation to keep going.
My start weight is 14st 0.5lbs btw. I went on LT a couple years ago but only lasted 6 days due to getting ill with tonsilitis. Nevertheless I'd lost around 9lbs during that 6 days so I knew that the diet worked and that's what made me choose to go on it again now. The other reason would be that for the last month or so I have been going to the gym 5 days a week and eating super healthy (around 12-1500 calories a day depending on activity level) and I hadn't really lost anything!
So yesterday was my first full day of just shakes. I actually replaced my evening meal on Monday with a shake too but I'm not really counting that as I'd been in last supper mode during Monday so I doubt one shake that evening would have had any impact I was very positive yesterday despite only having strawberry shakes (which are my least favourite) because the chemist was out of the other flavours. Luckily she let me pay for the week and gave me 7 strawberry to tide me over so I'm hoping she'll have more in stock today so I can have 7 each of the other 2 flavours.
Last night was the toughest part of the day because I had my last shake just before 7pm with the intention of getting an early night. Went to bed to 10:30 to read for a bit and then get some sleep, but despite being *super* tired, I only got to sleep at about 1am so between 10:30 and 1am my stomach was gurgling and I was even feeling a bit dizzy lying down!
Learnt the hard way this morning that the strawberry shake does NOT make a nice mousse... the taste is really strong and slightly bitter and I'd put a bit too much water in it so it was more of a thick soup than a mousse anyway *ick* No headache yet today but feeling a bit weak. My OH and I normally go to the gym on Wednesday (he's just eating less and moving more and has lost around a stone in the last month) but I think if I do still go I will take it really easy, perhaps just some slow walking on the treadmill to keep him company coz he doesn't like going on his own.
My first goal is to lose at least 7lbs this week (9 would be great). I was naughty and weighed myself this morning and I was -4lbs compared to yesterday but my scales aren't too reliable so I won't focuss on that and will try to restrain myself until my first proper weigh in next Monday!
Sorry for the really long post - I promise this will probably be the longest seeing as it's the first one! Might do an update a bit later as the first few days are the hardest!
