Hi Munch Glad to hear it's going well for you too! You do gradually wean yourself off the "food on the brain" state of mind - and it doesn't seem such a big issue. It's worth all the bored evenings without munching at the telly and missing social events - well worth it when you strut your...

p.s. minimodmk1 - i have tried to put my tickerfactory details on my profile but it still hasn't come up - where am I going wrong? Can you help? gg

minimodmK1 - well done - 11 pounds down - I've been very lethargic too - only just started week 2, but slept for Scotland last week! Having done this once before, i know the energy level changes and I can start feeling it coming back slowly - it's just a case of pacing yourself I think...

thanks all - i think i noticed the recipes somewhere on the LIGHTER LIFE thread. I'll see if i can direct you if i can find them again. Would be good to have a look - i've never "made" anything out of foodpacks before! GG

Thanks everyone - good to know I'm not alone. GG xx

I lost 6 pounds in my first (returning) week of LL!! But there doesn't seem to be anyone out there - I feel a bit isolated as I live in a rural area as it is and really depend on this forum, so please say hi and any Returning Lighterlifers, please let me know how you're doing/got on with the 2nd...

I'm going to my first LL weigh in tonight - but I've just spent the most awful day going between lying in bed o trying to get myself going by drinking coffee because I've hit a kind of wall - energy wise - I even got to the point where I ate the last 3 chocolate biscuits in the tin as I felt...

Halos are shining ladies - thank you very much! Will give it a go! GG x

Can someone please help me - i'm trying to work out how to put my details on my posts on this site. I've filled in all my details and bookmarked it, but don't know how to put it on with my threads. Cheers

Hi Scotwannabethin Thanks for your reply. I've cracked it - managed to say to the others going to the meal today that i'll come along for a drink (soda water!!!) but I won't stay for the meal as I have promised to take my kids to the cinema - it went down fine and i now know I can order pizza...

Hi there I'm a returning LL candidate and having been on Foundation for 5 days now, I know how you are feeling! It's a scary world, shutting yourself off from food, normality, etc - especially when you have kids - I have 2 and hate the thought of them knowing and seeing me taking "powdered"...

bettyboopchic hi - I have had an underactive thyroid for over 3 years (at least) and have done LL before (this is my 2nd attempt!) I am on medication and my new counsellor has said that there are a number of people who go to her meetings who have the same condition. I'd like to meet with others...

Thanks everyone. Tooth is starting to ache NOW!!! Night night all x

just wondering if anyone out there is in my position? i have a social event tomorrow involving a sit down Italian meal with wine and I haven't stopped worrying bout it! I'm only on day 5 tomorrow so would appreciate any tips to get me through. I don't have a problem drinking water, but how do I...

Hi all I'm feeling a bit like you Sally (Lesage) - I'm on my 2nd attempt - trying to think of it like a high jumper who WILL get over that bar no matter what!! Then I have my doubtful moments when it all seems so hard. I'm constantly scanning this site to get inspiration, so thanks to all who...

Hi Munch I started on Tuesday also - I've done it all before so I know what you're experiencing. I'd say you'll feel like this for the first week really- as your body adjusts to the VLCD - but it does get better and you feel more energetic as time goes on. What i did experience last time I did...

Cheers! Horrible day here - how is it in Glasgow? Not a day for LL - would be a Cafe Culture day - Lattes and Cappucinos, but hey, I'll just pretend with my Vanilla shake and coffee mixed - it's ok actually - have you tried it? Not feeling hungry today though, so having done this already, I know...

Jellybabie thanks for that - I needed the inspiration - sometimes it just takes one comment to get you back on track - and yours did the trick! I'm more determined than ever and it's good to know others have been in the same boat. Will check out your diary - many thanks - be in touch again. xx

Peridot Thanks for the input - I'm tempted to just eat - protein and salad - and be fairly miserable, but at least a little bit sociable - but I'm only on my first week and it seems crazy to fall off the wagon within a few days - I vowed I'd be really strict this time round - I have the...

Thanks for all your support guys - it's great knowing I'm not alone with the ongoing battle! I'm feeling very motivated although I have a couple of social occasions coming up - one this Saturday which involves sit down meals - so hurdle number one already - not quite sure how I'm going to face...

I am so determined to get into all my post LL clothes I wore 2 summers ago!! I've regained all the weight, but I'm not going to let that stop me from getting back on the wagon! Anyone else out there in the same boat (or wagon!)that i could get inspiration from? That would be great, thanks. Not...

Hi Diane I'm new to this site also but not new to Lighter Life! I went through the whole Foundation thing 2 years ago and put all the weight (and more) back on!! I attempted to go back and do a month here and there to lose what I could, but it didn't work - or at least I couldn't get my head...

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.
