Hi,

I started LL last week and now on day12. There wasn't eonough people to start a group so I have to do it on my own until Sept ( my husband is also doing LL so I have him for support) when the group starts so it would be good to join an online group. Look forward to hearing how you get on. Lost 9 pounds in the first week.

Wow! 9lbs in the first week is phenomenal! I hope I do as well as you! Well done doing it without a group - I asked my LLC if I would be able to do that (I've had to wait three weeks to start), but she said it would be too difficult and wouldn't let me Looking forward to seeing your continued losses! Keep it up

Starters Orders Again!!!
Well, here I am back again! Do you know though it really feels like coming back home to friends and family!
After completing Rtm at beg June and really feeling happy with my achievment I now find myself 1st heavier which has gradually crept on over the last 7 wks!!
However I WILL NOT beat myself up over this NO I will take the bull by the horns and start a month of abstinence from tomorrow 23rd August.
To anyone else who has found themselves in a similar position please I would hove to hear from you.

Hi Babs,
If I remember correctly after day 4 you can have a bar!
Glad to see you feeling great at day 4, I am on day 1 of my return to LL and cannot wait to get to day 4 as I know from then on I will be ok!!!!

Hi Janey,
I was reading your posts, I hope you dont mind if I ask you a few wee questions.
Is the lighter life expensive? Cost for me is an issue at the moment, but Im sure I could get it from somewhere. Also, would they take me on as im 10st 8lb but I am only 5ft so have at least 2 stone to lose. Sorry to perster you but I saw you just posted so must still be up.
Thanks
Laura (also in Sunny Scotland)

Hi Janey B, Babs11, Jubag, Jash and all fellow Augusters! )

Really glad you've all posted and hope you are all coping ok. I have my first meeting tomorrow evening (Sunday), so will get started on Monday. I was hoping i'd be at work, but now realise it is a bank holiday so I'm probably going to spend the whole day in a bubble bath to keep me from thinking about food! Have any of you decided to take up any hobbies to keep them busy? For those of you (Janey B for example) that have done LL before - did you find it easier to have things going on to distract you?? Good luck to you all on your respective journeys - can't wait to get going now!

morning everyone
janey my councellor never mentioned when i could have the bars so i've already had 3 and saving the last one for tomorrow.
i'm still having moments of queasiness, does this really go away as i really panic when not feeling well and feel its going to hinder me working if this is going to be an ongoing problem.
its only day 5 i know. i've never done this before and feel it'll only work first time for me.

hi laura, it cost £66 per week for all your food packs and the councelling session. i dont think its too bad as it includes counselling which will be beneficial to keeping the weight off. cambridge diet is much cheaper about half the price but dont know much about it.
i'm only on day 5 and already a tight skirt is hanging down - amazing!!!
let us know what you decide.
with regards to price if you add how much you spend on your food for the week plus alllll the extras, snacks etc meals out drings and that plus you wont buy any new clothes for a while its not too bad.

Hey all. I have my first meeting on Wednesday night after a 4 week wait.

Can't wait to get going!
