I agree this is worrying. I have to say that in the 14 weeks I have been doing LL my blood pressure has gone down to a normal reading for the first time in 8 years. Also I was having heart palpitations before I started this which have now almost gone. I have noticed that my eyesight sometimes is...

Hi Notts Boy, My husband has been doing LL with me since August and has lost 5 and a half stone. One week he only lost one pound and another week he actually put on one pound. He has stuck to the diet and never lapsed at all so it just goes to show that you body does strange things sometimes...

Hi August starters, Polly, I hope to go into RTM soon. I'm not sure this is the right thing to do because my problem has always been losing the weight in the first place and having read a lot about it on this site I'm pondering whether to do this on my own. I think I'll give it a go. I...

Hi all August starters, I lost 5 pounds this week but had put one pound on last week. Just starting week 13. Is this supposed to be a milk week? I'm thinking about when to go into RTM. Have another stone to lose if possible and wondering what every one else is doing. I know you can lose some...

I am coming up to the end of foundation. I have been doing this with my husband. We are not sure whether to do RTM with LL or do this ourselves. My husband doesn't need the counselling with LL. Has any one done this themselves or have any advice about RTM. Any help will be appreciated.:)

Hi august starters, I am still here and still look at this site when I've the time. Have lost 2 stone 8 pounds in total but this week managed to put on one pound. I really don't know how this happened as I haven't cheated but I suppose these things happen. I started LL with my husband and he...

Hi everyone, I' m still here and reading the posts sometimes. Just happened to be looking this afternoon. I'm just starting week 13 and have lost 2 stone 8 pounds but actually put on one pound this week according to llc scales. Don't know how I did this as I have stuck to the diet. I think it...

Hi everyone, I only lost 2 llbs in week 5 so was a bit down. I made the crisps today and they turned out quite well and it does make a change to have something to crunch on. Might try some of the other recipes. Whats every one else tried?

I agree with nandak, I always have a pack just before the group and my stick doesn't change colour. The LLC says this is because I've had a pack before. If the colour is deep purple it shows your are in deep ketosis I believe.

Hi Lynn, I'm also doing Ll with my husband.Although its not easy be any means I think it 's easier because you are both doing it. My husband has lost 3 stones in 5 weeks. You've a lot ot look forward to. Let us know how you get on.:flowers:

Hi Polly Sweety and Anna, Sweety, I'm going to have a go at the crisps tonight- hope they work out. Polly and Sweety, I've done my 4 week health check by going into Lloyds chemist and getting them to do a blood pressure test. They write it onto a form and you can hand this is but its better...

Polly, Well done ! I bet you can really see the weight loss now. I'm feeling very tired at the moment and although I'm not hungry I feel like picking at something I think from boredom more than anything. I made one of those muffins the other day but it wasn't up to much and don't think I'll be...

Hi Anna and Polly, You're both doing really well. I've got my fifth weigh in on Wednesday but I don't think I'll have lost very much this week. I'm finding the same things to eat a bit boring and I'm going to change my routine a bit next week. I want to have finished this by Christmas.:D

Hippy Chicken, You'll be absolutely fine. Its the thought of the dentist thats the worst. You won't feel any pain whilst your having the tooth out and just think that all the pain you have now will go away. In the last few weeks I've had 2 wisdom teeth and an ordinary tooth out and I can...

Hi everyone, I started 4 weeks ago and have managed on my own without any problem because there wasn't enough to start a class. I 'm joining a new class tonight and just wondered what you all thought about the classes and whether they are useful. Jash

Polly 740, Like you I started at Stafford LL on my own 4 weeks ago. I'm starting a class tomorrow but I haven't found it too bad on my own. Let us know how you get on. jash:flowers:

Polly, If you try any recipes let us know what the're like. I'm getting a bit fed up of the same thing all the time. I've noticed your in Stoke. I'm in Stafford. Jash:party0011:

My LLC has said that green tea helps with bad breath . I also find that a tongue scraper helps. Jash:scale:

Amberrykerry, I stared on 11 the August. The boredom of the same things to drink does start to get to you. I found that it is best to avoid cooking and the kitchen if you can but it is difficult if like me you have 3 kids but rather than cooking anything from scratch I am cooking most things...

Red Mist, I started on 11the August. Everyone has bad weeks. The inportant thing is not to give up. I only lost 2 pounds last week after following the diet exactly. Thats just how it is sometimes. I've done ww like you and probably every other diet going but I actually feel that this time I...

I,m doing LL with my husband. We have just finished week 3. My husband lost 1 stone the first week and then 13 llbs the second week. However , he put 1 pound on in the third week. He has stuck to the regime exactly and drank all the water. The LLC did.t quite know whst the reason for this is...

Hi Red Mist, You must have started about the same time as me. My 3 weeks will be up on Monday. Well done on your weight loss. Jash

Hi all you August starters, I started on 11th August so now coming up to the end of the third week. I am finding the monotony of the same think to eat a bit difficult and tea time is the worst for me when I have to get a meal ready for children. I am sticking to it to the letter. Does any one...

Hi, I also had the same problem. Anyway it will be nice to be friends. Perhaps the August starters could have a post heading each day so that we can find each other. Jash:)

I'm on day 15 and have lost 13 llbs since I started but I feel very tired. Does any one have any tips about this? :help2:My husband has lost one pound off 2 stones in 2 weeks. He doesn't feel unduly tired. Jash

Hi, I find with all the liquids that your teeth end up with a coating and the only way to remove it is by brushing which helps with the breath. I brush my teeth 3 times a day now. Also try a tongue scraper as most bacteria in your mouth is on the tongue I believe. Hope this helps, jash:giggle:

Hi, I started LL last week and now on day 12. Like you I felt pretty awful with very bad headaches until day 6 when it just went away. Stick with it. It is worth it and you will get a good weight loss at the end of the week. The first few days I am told are the hardest and that was certainly...

Hi, I started LL last week and now on day12. There wasn't eonough people to start a group so I have to do it on my own until Sept ( my husband is also doing LL so I have him for support) when the group starts so it would be good to join an online group. Look forward to hearing how you get on...

Hi, I started LL 11 days ago. I can honestly say that it hasn't been too bad. I had quite bad headaches on days 5 and 6 and felt quite out of sorts but I now feel well but a bit tired. You just have to stick with it for the first week and then it becomes easier. The good side is that I lost 9...

I started lighter life a week ago and I have lost 9 pounds. My husband started at the same time and he has lost one stone in a week. We are amazed and hope to keep it up. We had been dithering for a few weeks about whether we would be able to do this and now realise that we might just be able to...

thankyou Thanks for the advice mike:)

:)Hello everyone, I joined lighter life this week and have stuck to it to the letter for 5 days. For the past two days I have had terrible headaches which seem to start in the afternoon. Is this normal and does any one have any tips to beat this or is it just something you have to put up with...
