Lame

Can't choose your family can you:sigh: As much as I love my family they can be unsupportive - my mum keeps asking am I sure I'm well on this diet, while my sistwer's comment is 'it's alright for you I could be slim if I could pay £66 per week - I'm a single mum you know.' I may have a partner...

Hi, hope the night out was excellent! Went to my BIL's wedding last week the day after I got back from hols - had spent a duty-free fortune on make-up, brand new Monsoon full length dress two sizes smaller than when I started and brand new hair cut - from shoulder lenth to short and spiky...

I've got a size 12 leather skirt I bought when I was a teenager - 23 years ago! It's in much better nick than I am after all those years, and it hangs in my wardrobe as an incentive, along with a few other lovely items. My worry is that I think sizes now are much more generous than they were in...

I'm hoping that at least some of my skin pinafore will disappear as I shrink - lol! I keep moisturising every day and hope for the best - not worried about stretch marks so much but what will happen to my neck is worrying me.:rolleyes:

Well done you. I wish I had all the willpower and inspiration that some of these wonderful people have - have been on hols and made an adult decision to eat while I was away, but then struggled to get back on the programme, especially as now on week 13. However, went back and only gained 4lbs in...

My LLC said to try the packs you didn't like again further down the line as your tastes will change - sorry, still don't like thai chilli or chocolate. Tend to stick to strawberry, vanilla and banana shakes and mushroom, chicken and new improved flavour veg soup! also love cranberry bars and...

It's normal to question what you're doing and whether it's right for you - as BL has said on another thread the diet is only for the brave and some days can be damn hard! What matters is how you deal with the feelings - you already know doing what you did before led you to where you are now -...

Good luck - you've made the right decision;) I found I got headaches, nausea and light headedness for about a week coming into ketosis. Had to have a number of long lie downs - so glad the family were supportive! I told everybody about the diet - it's amazing how supportive people can be once...

Thanks for the help ladies - have used Marigold in cooking before, will now look it up for a change from peppermint tea (ugh- looks like babies nappies!) Agree with you BL - need at least 6 or 7 drops of the Habanero to give the soup some bite - if you're managing, will stick with that one!

Hi all, would like a bit of advice. I've been using Tabasco in my soups but the standard stuff just doesn't have the kick I need. Is it ok to use the Habanero hot tabasco instead? Also, have heard something about drinking Bouillon on the forum - is this okay, which one is it and why can't I find...

NAME: Karen AGE:41 TOWN: Blackburn DO YOU DRIVE:Yes, as well as everyone mad! JOB: (er...) Dietitian! HAIR COLOUR: Red with blonde highlights EYE COLOUR: Blue ANY TATTOO’S: 2 - a dragon and a sun - right arm and lower back respectively. ANY PIERCINGS: Only ears now but nose and top of...

Me too, so glad i'm not alone! i'm on Depo provera injection and have had two periods since starting LL, when I'd had nothing for years! Hope it settles back down to normal soon.

Just got back from Week 9 weigh in, lost 2st 4lb in total. Struggling a little now, not always totally abstinent but trying my hardest. Two weeks till my hols, hope to get another half stone off before then. How's everyone doing?

Hi all, need a bit of support. I know it's picky, but I didn't lose the 3lb I needed to make the two stone mark on my birthday last week - was one pound short. Broke abstinence that night and am now struggling - was sat at home last night and felt an overwhelming urge to eat that I couldn't...

I had a taste like copper in my mouth, and still do even now in Week 7 if I don't drink enough water. Don't worry your partner or kids will soon tell you if you're whiffy! Cheated once this week on my Birthday, (tea with milk, beef sandwich and slice of birthday cake!) but straight back on that...

Good luck to all new starters - it's not as bad as you imagine it will be! I've just started week 6 and looking back I can't believe the last thing I had to eat was over 5 weeks ago. I've lost 25lbs and hope to reach 2stone mark by next weigh in on Wednesday. I've coped with barbecues, weddings...

Hi all, how's it going? Now halfway through week 5 and still on target to get to 2 stones after 6 weeks of abstinence.:) Finding all the social stuff a struggle - in the last couple of weeks have had a leaving do, a wedding, a barbecue and a sunday lunch out - not eaten yet tho'. Only slip was a...

I am lucky because: I have a husband and sons who light up my life and are supportive of everything I do.:D I have parents and siblings who although not always supportive will follow me and praise me when things go well.;) I have a great education and a good job where I make a...

Hi all. I started end of July, today is the first day of week three. Horrendous first two days, felt like I had a hangover. Better now except for regular headaches!:sigh: I'm glad I found you guys - will be great to motivate each other and celebrate brilliant losses with you all as we make our...
