    Hiya hun Christmas & New Year always seem to magnify how we are feeling - happy or sad. It certainly is an emotional time. Speaking as someone who was brought up in a home with one parent who had a faith from childhood and the other who didn't, I turned away from my religion in my teens and...

    Hi Ulysses I'm sorry you are finding milk week tough. I have to say I chose not to do milk week because I was scared it would disrupt my routine. Try and get your mind back on track for next week. You are doing so well, another week or two - it's not long. Good luck.:)

    Funny - I had a problem with grapes at that stage too! They seem harmless, almost like cool, juicy, legal sweets - NOT! They have the highest pro rata sugar content of any fruit. I had to stop myself doing exactly the same thing with dried apricots too. :(

    GP being difficult - any tips?

    Exactly Umm When I first asked at my GP Surgery the practice nurse said she was "anti" VLCd's. Now she thinks she invented them! It's much cheaper for the GPs than offering people bariatric surgery and the psychology seems to be better and can continue indefinitely in maintenance if you...

    First real unexpected challenge coming up....

    So sorry BL. You've mentioned C's Grandad before to me. Please tell them all how sorry I am. This week was the funeral of my sister's MIL. I couldn't go to the funeral, but I've known her since I was 8. Seemed like she's always be around. I can see it's making my Mum more aware of the...

    Advice needed ...

    :welcome2: Juju You won't need the gastric band - we KNOW LL works. When you reach your goal you can go back to your GP and tell him thanks for the offer , but you don't need the band so he's now got X amount of £s left in his budget! Also, for you - no surgery much less impact on your...

    River's LL Diary

    I know Lucy will answer your question Julz, but yes RTM reintroduces food gradually in a controlled way over 12weeks, gradually weaning down the packs. I totally recommend it. It's an integral part of the LL programme - no short cuts.

    catthins diary to a slimmer me

    I think you know the answer to your own question Cathy. Could be you are using up more calories running after other people! Try and take it gently - you are supposed to be recovering! They should be looking after you. Another 2 weeks off sick sounds good. You're not ready to go back yet by...

    Dew Drop Inn!! Hour x Hour, Day x Day...

    Thank you hun, lovely to see you doing so well yourself. Over a stone in 2 weeks, wonderful. I may not look so good for long. Hair is starting to let go now and today I spent nearly 5 hours at the hospital for a procedure that should have been over within an hour. It wasn't terrible and it's...

    Fassionate Pashions....clothes you just gotta have!

    As long as he doesn't pee on the shoes, or trip you up with his lead and you end up showing your red soles - second thoughts, might be worth it! I saw a blonde lady the other day in London, wearing a blonde/gold thread knitted long tube dress (we weren't on the train ). She was holding a gold...

    Can you...

    Oh Rachi, What a shame. Why don't you speak to your OHs LLC rather than just send an e-mail. She may have some suggestions. They will have had this situation before. I remember Anaphylactic who used to come on here - she said try everything before deciding to stop if you can, borrow,sell...
