    Someone at my mums work did this diet, she lost a lot weight in a short period of time (after spending thousands of dollars) and gained it ALL back and then some. Perhaps try replacing one or two meals with slim-shakes instead, and change your exercise routine to get your body into gear again? And congrats on the weight loss!

    ...everything that they said plus you'll effect your metabolism. Your body will go into "starvation" mode and when you do start eating again your body will store this as fat and you'll probably put all the weight back on.

    TD - If you've hit a plateau then perhaps you could change somethings around...do you exercise? If you do then swap machines/weights/classes for a while. Or add some interval training (stopping and starting or varying speeds). With food, perhaps you need to eat more? Eat smaller portions more often, every 3 hours is good to boost your metabolism. Just make sure it's healthy food!

    Goodluck, i'm sure you'll shift it. It sounds like you've done really, really well so far

    Thanks All.

    I eat 5 meals a day, brekkie, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. I did go on the TF diet initially to lose weight but the shakes and my body did not agree. I am lactose intolerant and the shakes are milk powdered. I did go on the TF soy shakes but having only 2 flavours to choose from bored me. I went on Liteneasy, lost some more weight there and have stopped for about 1 month as i was sick of eating the same food and i am a very fussy eater!
    I did exercise up until 1 month ago when mum had her hysterectomy (for cancer) so i've been dealing with her, the kids, hubby, job and the household = no time to exercise.
    I will be starting to exercise within 1 week or 2 as things have started to settle down at home with mum and all. So i'm hoping this lull period may have tricked my body and the exercise might start the weightloss process.

    It is such a battle. A life long battle. I hate it. i love food too much. But then again, i love fitting into size 8-10 pants as well. I dunno. I'm going to give the lemon detox diet a go and if i don't like it...at least i've given it a go.

    Thanks once again.

    I don't believe in diets. You need start something that you can keep doing on your own once you have finished the program. I think hiring a personal trainer would be a better option. I believe they are trained in fitness and nutrition and can help you loose the weight in a sensible manner.

    Congratulations with your weight loss so far
