I'm usually fairly sedentary, with some walking etc but last week I was working for 6 days straight on my feet for 12 hours per day (I'm on Cambridge SS) and by the time I got home on Friday night I was so tired I could have cried. I don't remember being so physically exhausted, and could...

I'm in sunny Bucks too... :)

I fly pretty frequently with work, and the 100ml hasn't changed. What has changed from SOME airports is that you can now take 2 bags on, but only from and to some airports... You still need all toiletries in a clear small bag and no more than 100ml per bottle. The BAA website is the best...

Good idea! Thank you :)

Thanks guys! Was just wondering about them x-raying the suitcase - not taking anything other than a bar in hand luggage... For one of the trips (they are all for work) it is a trade show so I can ship stuff beforehand with our kit, just don't want to get hauled up somewhere and asked to explain...

A few years ago when I did LL I travelled a few times with packs in my suitcase and had no problems... I'm now doing Cambridge and still travelling, but just wondered if anyone had had any problems travelling with packs in their suitcase?? I've only got Europe trips coming up, hopefully won't...

My gorgeous counsellor said that EXERCISE is the key - after SS and such a low intake, your metabolism will be through the floor and needs some movement to get it going... So that's my plan!:character00116::party0049::party0011:

I have this issue a lot, with work travel. I meet with a few different groups but none of them mind (and why should they???) if I do go out with them and just have a glass of water. Depending on where I am, if I'm in one of our offices somewhere then I'll just go to the kitchen and make my own...

Had a really big milky coffee craving this morning, almost went and bought the milk. Talked myself out of it and poured a hot strong black coffee on a vanilla pack and whizzed it up. Delicious but not quite a Starbucks! Housework Housework Housework today.... music on loud though to make it fun!

I just tried it and it said I should be drinking 3.4 litres...

Hi there, I'm Nicky and just started Cambridge with our famous Diva as my counsellor. I did LL 04/05 and lost about 5 1/2 stone and life has happened big time since then (married, separated, lost mum etc etc!!) and I'm back to start again with a vengeance. My head is so back in the right place...

shame!

Hi Steve Many thanks for this! I'm just starting today, will be one of Diva's girls and this is a fab tool - you are just a star! :D Nicky x

Thanks Fitter at 51 (good name!) I've actually decided to not do LL during my summer off, there are so many things that I'll be doing, and it is SUCH a pain having to go to the loo every 30 mins, and to a certain extent plan my day around this. My summer off is mainly to chill out and just...

Just went to an art show that I was invited to and I took along a friend. This friend I have known for years, she knows that I hate being overweight, and having known me probably for 15 or 20 years she must have seen me bigger and smaller over time. She once made a comment when I was very...

Now I have a month of abstinence under my belt. I think this week will be another slow loss, but I'll find out for sure tomorrow when I see my counsellor. I 'break up' today, for 6 weeks off, for the first time in my working life I asked if I could have some time off (hoping for another HOT...

Thanks for my Daisy! Weigh in was 5lbs, so better than last weeks! So in total 1st 5lbs since I began. I picked up the management book from my counsellor yesterday, the books are SO much better now than they were last time around - so that'll give me some food for thought over the coming...

I find both of those far too salty - so I have the one in the purple tub with orange lid (reduced salt vegan version) so so so much nicer. If it isn't with the usual tubs, then you'll find it in the health food/gluten free aisle in the supermarket. Enjoy!

Day 23 and still hanging on in there - official weigh tomorrow, but by home scales, it is 1stone 3lbs off. Fab. Had a very interesting call with a (male) friend last night, he's coming over this weekend so I told him that I was on LL again, and his reply was "what makes you think it'll stay...

I've been searching for the hour by hour thread - where is it???:confused: Thanks!

Today is Day 15. Still doing well, weigh in not til Sat so will find out then, but my home scales seem to have slowed. I'm putting this down to internal blockage (!) and being pre-menstrual. Hopefully by Saturday all will be well! Hope any other returners out there are still keeping it up...

All that Mike says is fab (as always!) I used to sniff marmite and vegemite because they were so strong... Maybe we should have a 'food-sniffers' anonymous group! I'd be in it... :o

and that's a yes from me too!

Hi there, I'm a returner, having lost about 5 1/2 stone in 2004 and having put 4 of it back on. I'm now up to day 12 and as Mike says, once you punch through the first days and get safely into ketosis it does get MUCH easier. I also mucked about with old packs and never quite made it, but now...

Congratulations! How great does that feel...:)

Official weigh in this morning, and lost 11lbs in a week and a day. So here's to week 2.... Feeling a bit queasy today, very unlike me so spending the day engulfed in housework and gardening. Gentle stuff but with a satisfying result! Daisyxx

Hi Having a bored moment at work and reading back over old posts on here - just read; "The time will pass whether you are on Lighterlife or not" So the next week or month or 3 months are going to go by anyhow, so I might as well get to the end of however long and be slimmer at the end of...

OK - 1 week completed now and according to my scales this morning 10lbs lost in first 7 days - happy with that! :) So, one week under my (shrinking) belt, I'm making my mind up as I go along how long I'm going to do this for. My first goal is a month, then I may take a week off (like...

Note to self - be careful who you tell! So far I've only told one person at work, a lovely young man who we joke is my son, and my boss is his dad - all purely because we are old enough to be his parents! (and I'm only 43...;)). This morning, someone commented on how much water I'm drinking...

Very true about getting your head back into it - makes it a much easier ride!

Morning, definitely back in that happy place again! Today is day 5, and yesterday the ENERGY kicked in. Had a very domestic day and tackled jobs I'd been putting off with great gusto, worked from 8 til about 5 almost non-stop going up and down 3 floors lugging stuff. Isn't it bliss?? Also not...

:)Hello, just restarted LL having lost loads in 2004/05 and put some back on... took the plunge this week and restarted. Already back in that happy place, feeling good and light and like I'm on the way back to where I want to be... I think this forum might help hugely in the sticky moments...
