    One for you Em Veg

    I know you read about the negatives regarding LL and you mention that people say they know about people who finish LL
    and put it all back on.
    What about other ways of losing weight?
    For some WW/SWetc are an annual pilgrimage, but it not remarked upon becaujse they go up and down by a few stone regularly. Some of them have "lost"
    the same weight every year for 10years or more!!!
    But it's socially acceptable so no-one takes any notice.
    Until now people had to have 3stone or more to lose prior to starting LL and many of us al ot more than that so it shows more. Also people who know us don't think we'll ever get off our ample bottoms and be able to change how we are.
    Give them a SHOCK...........
    Good luck to everyone about to start or re-start.
    S-d what other people think. Do it for YOU.
    I look forward to seeing your progress.


    Started LL Feb 2008 21.5 stone
    Reached goal Dec 2008 10 stone
    Maintained for 2 Years and 8 months now
    Woooo Hooo !!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's the thing - I wanted to read negative comments about this diet so I am not rose tinted.

    I did WW and the leader had lost 6 stone, but had put 5 back on (I wonder why WW wasn't for me!).

    Any diet can be perfect for any person. I am doing LL because it does seem like a way that COULD work well for me.

    But that is up to me, or any of us starting ANY diet to MAKE happen.

    How exciting Rachiie!!!

    Trust me - just STICK to the plan, and you WILL acheive your goal. If you follow the plan, it is IMPOSSIBLE not to lose the weight! ANd you can count on a stone a month, if not more in the early days.

    ALl good luck to you! I am sure you will do great!!!!

    Here's to your new life that awaits you! <clink>
    Lost 10 Stone in 2008. Maintained for 2 years. Back for a Tune-Up.
