JULY NEW STARTERS - Welcome to LL - Page 2 - MiniMins.com

Blonde Logic · 2nd July, 2008

Ah hah. Thats what I wondered. It does indeed sound like he may be fearful that this may change you and he is obviously happy with you as yo are, which in itself is a very nice thing.

What I would suggest is that you reassure him too - and talk to him about how this will make you happier which wil only have positive effects on the relationship.

It is scary for partners.....this can produce huge transformations, so I can totally understand his fear. So it would seem that what you see as his being unsupportive, he probably sees as trying to protect himself....so you are each looking out foryourselves in a way? Maybe?

I think lots of good long heart to heart chats, reassurance, TLC, etc., for both of you will help him understand that you are doing this to feel healthy and happy, and that he has nothing to fear. (Assuming he doesn;t!!

)

Good luck!

well i have just got back from meeting my friends and i feel soooooooo proud of myself. everybody was eating and drinking and i stuck to my water. infact it didnt really bother me and when friends offered me food i told them i was full and that i didnt want any wine.

i am confident that lighter life will work.

night night all

Blonde Logic · 3rd July, 2008

Well done MiniMo! It just gets easier with each day!!! Keep at it!!

Jane I cannot wait to see your ticker drop and drop and drop. You have faced yourself with being out so soon, I am impressed. And your attitude is amazing. Keep rocking as BL would say.

hi guys, i'm new to LL, well, hopefully, at the minute i can't get my doctor to sign my form!! went for a blood test and check up this morning with the practice nurse, and she asked the gp about the form who said they'd only do it after i had a FULL MEDICAL and that would cost £120!!!!
i had a load of blood tests done 2 weeks ago and get regular check ups so i don't know where this has come from?!
i'm really eager to get started on this programme bcos i've been putting off losing weight for so long, and now it looks like i'm gonna have to wait longer?!?!!

help guys what should i do? there's a walk in clininc in st. helens which is open till 10p.m tonight, do you think i should ring them and ask if they'd be prepared to do it??? i don't mind paying £10 or £20, but £120 takes the p***!!!

Blonde Logic · 3rd July, 2008

No harm in calling is there?

Also, check with the LLC, they generally know a doctor that supports the diet.

Good luck!

shellbell · 3rd July, 2008

ok thanks, will do! once that is sorted all i have to do is wait for a group to begin.....fingers crossed its soon.

also, congratulations on yours and everybodies weight loss on this forum, its really encouraging for me to get me focused knowing other people have tried and suceeded!

Blonde Logic · 3rd July, 2008

Stick around here in the mean time - you will learn some good tips and advice, see success, learn mistakes made, etc., which will put you in good stread for your start!!

Its a great diet, and you will see fantastic results!! Good luck, and be sure and keep us posted!!!

minimodmk1 · 3rd July, 2008

quick question, can i drink soda water whislt on the programme?

Blonde Logic · 3rd July, 2008

Yes.

As long as it is not flavoured other then the LL flavourings.

AllyWill198 · 6th July, 2008

Hello all! I am so pleased to have found this sit as I live alone and sometimes feel in need to touch base with other LL's in between meetings...just to exchange questions, encouragement and support etc. I am just coming to the end of my second week on the programme and have my meeting and weigh-in tonight. I have already lost 11 and three quarter pound so I am hoping to push further towards my first stone lost tonight!! :-)
The stories and advice on here are truly inspirational and I just know I'm going to find this "sanctury" invaluable!
See ya,
Ally

minimodmk1 · 7th July, 2008

my first weeks flown by and i've found it quite easy even though i have faced with a few social events but i have sailed through them.

i hope these positive feelings stay with me :-)

gheckogirl · 7th July, 2008

Hi.

I'm restarting Lighter Life after 2 years of struggling to maintain my lost weight and gaining it all back - I'm really keen to "meet" anyone else who's just starting out again on this journey - anybody out there? I start tonight but only with a Foundation class.

leanne2980 · 7th July, 2008

Hi Everyone x
Today is my first day on Lighterlife. My weight has been spirally out of control since I had our children (youngest is 2) and I now I'm so big I can't ride my horse.
Lighterlife seems perfect as I've got loads to loose and the results are quicker than other diets. I'm really excited and motivated at the moment and hope it lasts!
Only complaint is I have the worst headache!!
