    Hi All

    Aww thanks everyone. Planning to lose the last few lbs by mostly exercise. Would be much easier to do it with LL but I want to get back into exercise and tone up.

    Scales

    I agree with the others. I gave my scales to my mum cause I was on and off them all the time. One week they showed no loss and I was really upset, got into a tiz about it. When I went to weigh in I had still lost. Its truly not worth it. Get rid of them!

    lighterlife lite

    I would suggest giving head office a call. I waited for 6 weeks to be given a start date after my information meeting. Maybe because LL lite is new its taking her some time to get everything put together for it, however she should really keep you informed. Give her another call or email, I...

    Hmmm.....the eyes are upon us....watching.....waiting... hoping?

    BL it sounds so blooming annoying. They are clearly jealous and want you to gain the weight again. Its unfair as you said there is enough pressure on you without them adding to it. Its also quite sad they are just waiting for you to put weight back on, if they are jealous that is there problem...

    What did you wear?

    Its a good point the two people who I know did LL, both left before the end of foundation so didn't even get near to RTM. They have both told me not to go too far and also that its really really hard to keep the weight off, both have gained. I politely answer that yes it will be challenge going...
  73. emzski

    Thought i'd better explain myself

    I did wonder how you are getting on. I think it is a big risk to swap during a program. Good luck for starting again in the new year, stick with it this time and by summer you will be at goal for sure. Im hoping to be at goal in feb sometime then its on RTM for me the time has just wizzed...

    off topic... opinions required

    I live in the highlands of Scotland beside the beach so i guess that's why I would go for a city. However if you live in London maybe peacefull romantic getaway would be a better choice as its a total contrast. Im sure whatever you do will be lovely.

    Any october starters??

    Yeah I agree, I think we have lost people along the way that could prob be taken out. As we are in December everyone should be on at least week 4.
  142. emzski

    Flavours

    I love my hot choc and vanilla mixed!! You can also get water flavors, I have the sunshine orange, its really nice but to be honest Ive only used it twice, its easier to just have water. Also you get savory drinks. the water flavors and savory drinks cost extra.

    I think if you seriously want to do it but don't think you can go thru christmas without food then start in the new year, its a fresh start. You have to start with the commitment that you are not going to cheat you will stay on this program 100% and see it right thru. I would suggest if you...

    I love going to festivals in the summer and where I live the nearest one is Rock Ness, we went this year and my friends were wearing Hunter wellies in bright pink they wore them with a little dress or denim skirt and top. I was quite jealous, they looked really cute and I was padding about in...

    Help! Need a reminder of why...

    NO DONT DO IT!!!! Honestly you turned to LL because nothing else worked, this program is SO worth sticking to. If you could stick to a eating diet then why did you start LL. Lighter Life doesnt just help you lose weight and fast (which is a HUGE PLUS in itself) but it helps you learn about...

    Tragic case of 'Baby P'

    This is so heartbreaking. As a mum I love my two sons with all my being and it shocks me that any mother can do this, its disgusting and I agree the 3 monsters should be thrown it hungry sharks, a prison sentence is not enough. As for the Social Services, medical profession and everyone who was...
