Thought I would bump this thread and see if any of the original gang are still on here? September 2008 starters are you out there??? Caz x

Hiya fellow Sept Starters 2008. Glad you are all doing OK. I've gained a bit (1 1/2 stone) of the 4 stone I lost so I'm back on LL but on lite this time. My fault really, though I do blame it on my being without a kitchen for 4 months last year. Any other's out there???

Well done Sean - can't believe how quickly you have achieved this - you look like a different person and doing so well in RTM too!!

Hi BL, Good luck with your mini- challenge. Looks like you are doing well and I love the new haircut!

Hey Andy! Good to see you in here - i'll keep an eye on you. Sorry about the footie result (not really I'm a Liverpool fan lol). Looking forward to reading tomorrow's entry! Take care!

Hi Andy, Good to hear from you again. You have achieved sooooo much and I'm glad to hear you are back on track. You'll have those fews lbs off in no time. Karma - good to hear from you to. The most important thing is that you are back. You have taken that decision and we are all here to...

Hey SSs. Hope you are all OK. I began to lose the plot recently so decided to go back to LL last week. I've put on 8.8 lbs, which isn't too bad considering but I found that I was beginning to make really bad food choices. I have decided to do Lite for a few weeks to lose the excess lbs...

Good luck Karma!

lol - loving it! I'll look out for you on christmas eve!!

Well done Ella! Fantastic loss. Catz - I'm finding it easy at the moment and really enjoying it. Still a little nervous about the future but not half as much as I thought. Well I'm off to Lapland (no not the one closed down lol!) so have a great weekend everyone.

Wow Wow Wow! You look fantastic! Well done! Now enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andy - well done on your loss. I guess you'll be giving the LL flavourings a miss from now on? Beki - 1lb off is still weight off. Just think I bet this time last year you were putting on a 1lb a week (I was!!) Good luck to everyone else this week

Well done Catz! Enjoy your return to food. Looking forward to seeing the photos!

Sorry you are feeling down BL!! I know exactly where you are coming from. I am terrified of putting on weight. I'm only week 2 of RTM but I can see my portion size is increasing (I keep telling myself it is only salad and a bit of protein) but with Christmas coming up it is a real worry...

Wish I could see her face! Do you think she will recognise you though - she might walk straight passed you!!!!

8 weeks - that's an incredible difference!! Well done Andy!

Wow, wow wow! That's incredible in such a short space of time. You must feel fantastic. Well done!!

Wow Ella - your losses are amazing! Thanks for all you comments re my photos! Didn't think I would ever be brave enough to put photos on here. Well done Andy on your 4 lbs loss - 91.96 lbs is an amazing loss - well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for making me feel on top of the world. I didn't realise how far I had come until I saw my before photo. Thanks for all your support and continued support throughout RTM!

Not the best photos in the world - wish I hadn't worn black or twisted on the side view but I think you can get the idea. This was after 12 weeks!

my photos!

Got my before and after photos back too and will post them once I find out how to scan them it! (may take me some time).

Hello everyone. RTM week one is going well and nowhere near as scary as I thought it would be. Additional bonus of losing 1.9 lbs this week so I'm chuffed! bekimo - Birmingham - Week 7, Wednesday, 10st, lost 45lb so far (6st 11lb to go)! catznolan -carlow(ire) -week 13 -wed - 4stone - 51..5lbs...

Buy yourself a good blender - makes the shakes thick and frothy! Good luck for Jan!

Well done Polly - you may have inspired me to put mine on when I receive them next week. Can't believe you have 2 stone to go - you look fantastic. Well done!

Thanks girls. Starting tonight! x

Wow - 4.5 stone in 12 weeks is fantastic. Well done! Hope you are feeling better now. x

Andy - sorry you are feeling rubbish. Firstly, remember you are getting thinner everyday. This diet works for everyone! Do you think the swimming could either be slowing the weight loss (I have heard this can happen) or could it be that you are adding muscle and still losing the fat and...

Well done Rach, Bek and Catz on your losses. Good luck for your weigh in Andy! I've been feeling spaced out the last couple of days and i've just been to see my counsellor as she has a drop in blood pressure clinic tonight. My blood pressure is low and I have been advised to start RTM...

Well done Catz! Nearly time for RTM........ Feels great to be thin for Christmas rather than worrying about starting yet another new year diet doesn't it!

ps - were those kisses for me or Beki lol?

Thanks Andy - How's the water intake this week?

Another 3.3 lbs off this week - well chuffed. bekimo - Birmingham - Week 7, Wednesday, 10st, lost 45lb so far (6st 11lb to go)! catznolan -carlow(ire) -week 11 -wed - 4stone - 45.5lbs so far! Caz789 - Cheshire - week 13 - Tuesdays - 4 stone - 47.1 lbs so far Charlene - Welwyn, Hertfordshire...

Totally know where you are coming from Rae. I'm 10 days off RTM too and have mixed emotions. Part of me thinks enough is enough but i'm also scared. I think my body is starting to tell me also that I need to return to eating. It wont be long now. Stick with it and we'll see ourselves...

Well done everyone on the fab losses (Bekimo wow 6lbs!)

Hi all. Well my dad was amazed! He was very pleased when he saw me but then told me he thought I had lost enough! Typical! Anyhow 3.7 lbs off this week so very pleased. BMI is now NORMAL. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obese to overweight to...

Well done Andy, Karma and Ella!!!

I totally agree that living off 500 calories a day is not good for our bodies and would throw it into starvation mode. I also believe that in living off so few calories we would be losing a lot of muscle and thus this would reduce our metabolism and then when we went back up to a 'normal'...

OMG Mollysmum 51lbs! Well done. Bekimo - loving the new photo! Go team 'SSs'!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Vintella you look years younger! You and your daughter look beautiful! Well done everyone on your losses! Can't believe either how close some of us are now to RTM. We shall have to start our own thread in RTM too. The excitement is infectious - I'm a little giddy about my parents...

Oh yes, forgot to mention. Can't believe i'm only .2 over a 'normal' BMI. Could be a good week for me next week! Parents arriving tomorrow - i'll let you all know what their reaction is.

Hi everyone. LS - thanks for replying about RTM. I've been reading some stuff on RTM threads. I know it's gonna be tough and am determined to stay slim. Not long to go now - 4 weeks for me until RTM. I may have to pick your brain when I get there. We measure ourselves so of course week 1 I...

Bekimo - I understand what you are saying. It's just that as that time approaches it is scary. Hearing the experiences of others that have failed makes you realise that the end of foundation/development is just the beginning. Although I have every good intention I am scared that if I eat just...

Yey! Got my laptop back! Keeps cutting out but at least i've been able to access all my files. Makes you realise what you keep on your computer. Well done SSs. We are all doing so well - we should be proud. Hope you are feeling better now Andy. Sorry to hear you got another cold (or was...

Hi all! Congrats to everyone who has lost weight this week (that'll be everyone lol). My laptop has crashed so i'm using my son's but the space bar sticks so takes me forever to type! Can't change my ticker either but lost 4.1 lbs this week. Total is now 36.2 lbs!! Bye for now xx

Well done girls and Andy! Great to hear so much positives from the SS thread and great that we have all stuck to it. LS - Hope you are feeling better today. You have come so far both with your weight and the emotional side. Welldone! Good week for me this week 4.1 lbs down. However I...

Hi gals and Andy (lol) Sorry to hear about everyones problems and about your pets. It does show us that we turn to food for comfort. Good luck with everyone's weigh in's. I lost 4.6 lbs this week and was convinced I hadn't lost much so very very happy!

Hi gals! Congrats on everyone losing weight! I agree it's nice up here - very comfortable lol. I lost 3.3lbs this week. Very pleased with this and on target for Christmas. bekimo - Birmingham - Week 3, Wednesday, 10st, lost 16lb so far (8st 12lb to go)! catznolan -carlow(ire) -week 5 -wed...

Hiya peeps! Gosh is it Monday again! Had a really good week and I think I have stopped craving food. Finding this so much easier now - I think I have got into a routine! Worried for Wytchy. Nothing since her weekend away. Wish she would come back! How is everyone else? Glad to hear Catz...

I'm worried about her too. No sign of her since her planned lapse a couple of weeks ago. Come back Wytchy!

You need to go back into tickerfactory.com (i saved the link it gave me when I set mine up) and put in your pin (password). It will then allow you to update your new weight.

.....for the first time in a long time I didn't hate the person that stared back at me in the mirror!!!! I didn't buy anything because I still have a way to go yet but I can't tell you how good it felt to not hate myself. I left feeling positive. Now that hasn't happened in a while. Thank you...

OOps - posted this in the wrong place. Sorry!! I was too busy checking out how Blond Logic is getting on in RTM!!! LOL Back to LL threads for me!

Sorry you're not feeling good Catz. Stick with it - remember how good the 12 stone somethings feels!! I lost 3.7 lbs this week, making a total of 20 lbs in 4 weeks! Very pleased with that. catznolan -carlow(ire) -week 1 -10th sept (wed) - 4stone - 11.5lbs so far! Caz789 - Cheshire - week 5 -...

Come back Wytchy!

You have come a long way BL. Not just with your weight coming down but with the emotional rollercoster you have been on. It looks like you have mastered so much more than you envisaged at the beginning of your journey. Many congratulations to you. Enjoy your food (but not too much lol). We...

Wytchy, Hope you are well and had a good weekend with your friends. I know you were planning on going 'off plan' so I'm now checking you are back on and all is OK with you?

Karen, Can't answer your question on tabasco but can on the bouillion. It's called Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillion and you will find it next to the stock (Oxo cubes etc) in the supermarket. It comes in a tub. You are allowed 2 cups a day (1 teaspoon per cup). The reason you can't find it...

I had to wait for 2 months to start. I didn't mind too much as it was over the school holidays and I wasn't 'in the zone' then. Also the thought that I would be slim by christmas kept me going!

Ditto what everyone else has said. I have read your diary and find you to be a fascinating and incredible person. Look how far you have come in such a short space of time. Celebrate and enjoy your new life. Congratuations you deserve it!!!!!!!

Polly, I haven't had a period for 5 years as I have a hormone coil. I started bleeding (albeit lightly) about a week into the programme and this lasted about 4 days. I believe this is quite common! Not a side effect I enjoy!!

Sorry to hear you're under the weather Wytchy but at least you know what it is now and hopefully you will be on the mend soon. Stick at it - if you can get through the next fews days then i'm sure it will be easier then! Hi to all new peeps! Good luck for your first week! I had a busy...

LS - Go to prevention.com and click on 'my health trackers'. You can enter all your details and it gives you charts, graphs etc.

We were told that if we had more than 2 weeks at the darkest colour then we would be told to leave the programme. LLC said this is because it is dangerous?

So that's 97.8 lbs for us all so far (based on above). That's 6 stone, 13.8 lbs! Wow!!!!!!!! (if my maths is right). That's the same weight as my son! Well done girls. Well done also to all the weight losses this week. Just think what this figure is going to be like by the end of foundation.

We have been told that the lighter the colour the better. ANY change in colour shows you are in ketosis and the ideal is the first 2 light colours on the chart. Any darker shows you are dehydrated. Greantea - are you stopping drinking early on wi day?

You're welcome ;)

Well done Medhurst! Stick with it KW, you are doing so well. 9lbs at pop in! We'll all get through this together.

Quick update - more tomorrow. Just been to wi and meeting and lost 4.8 lbs. But the best bit.................................I'm now overweight. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done - feels great doesn't it!

Well done BL. I know I keep saying it but you are an inspiration. Someone for all us newbies to look up to!

Yay - wi day! That's another week I can tick off for foundation. 2 gone, 12 to go! It's gone pretty quick when you think about it (and don't think about food lol). Feeling better today. Got to finish off my 'homework' for tonight. Hope i've lost something nerves coming back but not as bad as...

Thanks everyone. It was a life saver for me yesterday. I was having a down day and needed a pick me up. Can't believe that's it got to the point that a stock drink is now my pick me up lol!!

Thanks LS! I use this as stock so I have a tub already. I'm off to make one now. Bliss!

Can someone confirm that the alternative to the LL savoury drink is the Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillion (is that how you spell it?) and how much you put in a mug of water. I'm hungry (prob as it's my son's birthday and i'm surrounded by chocolate) and need something to get me through. Thanks!

Hi all! Looks like many of us are feeling a little down. For me I think it is that I feel so much better because I can notice that my clothes are fitting better but then realising I have so much further to go. I just can't quite picture myself fitting into that smaller pair of jeans yet. Gosh...

Good luck willdoitthistime!! First few days got a bit of getting used to but after week 1 loss you realise it's all worth it! Wytchy - we missed you!! Congrats on your fantastic loss. I bet you'll be one of those that loses loads every week and then we'll all be jealous of you!! Sorry that...

Thanks BL - and this is another post towards my 50! lol

RaeB - You sound so like me. How tall are you? I'm hoping to be 12 stone something too next week (fingers crossed!). Well done on a fantastic loss this week. So many people, so many threads so excuse me if I've got this wrong but aren't you nearly 40 too? Medhurst - come join the party! Welcome...

I can't see the pics either - when i click on albums it says I don't have permission. What am I doing wrong? I can see the one's in the gallery and they are fab tho!!

Morning all! Katz - well done on a fantastic weight loss. Feels fab doesn't it. MM - Sorry to hear about your problems. Stay strong and as LS says use this thread to rant all you want! OMG 15lbs is amazing!! Well done. HC - Congrats on getting through day 1. I believe they have discontinued...

Hi all, Just waiting to hear about the weigh ins today? How's it going with everyone and what's your routine now. I'm on shake, shake, soup, hot chocolate for weekdays and then subsitute the hot chocolate for a bar on the weekends (gives me something to look forward to). LS - If you're...

Wytchy - I felt exactly the same yesterday. I have hidden the scales at home so I had no idea how much I would lose (if any) and was really nervous about it. It just made it all the better to find out I had lost more that I had hoped for. I'm sure you'll be writing back later with a nice...

I've lost 8.1lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooooooooooooooo pleased. I found the meeting a little boring as most of listening to counsellor. I hope that from now on there will be more audience participation. Must go and update the OH. Good luck to all of you for...

ps - so looking forward to my seeing my ticker start to move!!!

Nearly off to weigh in so thought I would pop in here first. Just had my shake and now feel all full up (which is a good job as I have the kids tea on!). Just hope the shake works it way out before I get weighed. I'll post my loss (fingers crossed) when I get back just before 10!

Well done BL. You look great too!

Hello to the newbies. Welcome aboard!! My weigh in is tonight. I'm so nervous. Paranoid that I might not have lost anything even though I'm sure my jeans feel better on me. I went into town this morning and went into oasis. Still can't believe that in a few months I'll be able to go in and...

Congratulations!!!! You must feel fantastic. I've got my weigh in tonight and I'm really nervous. Scared that I might not have lost anything or something really small like 1lb.

OMG 20 lbs in one week? That's incredible. Are you sure she didn't have a wooden leg which she removed at the second weigh in? lol I'm day 6 and couldn't make my pop in and am now going through the 'I hope I have lost something' stage before my weigh in tomorrow!

Hi Smiler I'm on day 6 and so far so good. I thought this week would be a lot tougher than it has been and haven't had any of the 'side effects' that you can get for the first few days. This board has helped me feel positive and certain that I will get to my goal and I have no doubt that it...

I agree! I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for real life people that had proved that it can be done. Thank you all. xx

Good luck. I'm on day 6 so only a week ahead. Come join us on september starters and we'll all keep each other going!

Morning everyone. What's going on we are all so positive and yet we haven't eaten for nearly a week! LS - Glad to hear about the CD foodbacks for Australia. Have you also tried checking about taking the LL one's with you with a doctors letter? or have you decided to stick with the CD ones...

Well done!! It must feel fantastic. I am sooooo pleased for you.

Caz789 - Cheshire - week 1 - 9th Sept (tuesdays) - 4 stone

Glad eveyone is feeling much better today. I am too (but then I've not receceived my 'danger time'). I'm starting to lose track of everyone on here and what day we started etc. so I have thought why don't we summarise. ie name - whereabouts - what week we are on - weigh in date - amount...

How weird - i've been starving all afternoon/evening too, even straight after having my soup. Maybe it's the weather? Anyhow, just had my first cup of earl grey tea with no milk and it tastes the same and OMG I had a peanut bar with it and I suddenly feel normal again. In fact better than...

Hi Bex Wow!! That's fantastic and I know you have done a fantastic job since then. The photos of you are amazing and you are an inspiration to those of us starting out. Thank you!

Hi all Just wondered what the average loss was in the first 14 weeks. Sorry no prize for the winner - unless you want a LL Bar!!!!!!

Afternoon all. Back from getting soaked watching my son play rugby. He won by the way!!! Congratulations to you laststraw - 6 lbs is ace!!!! Also congratulations to SS - 4.5lbs!!!! You must both be really pleased and shows that we are all slimmer as each day passes. I actually felt a little...

Not so sure they will be completely sweetless - just not allowed in the house. I can just picture them now all sat in the car/garage/shed stuffing their faces!!! Let's hope we all get decent losses this week. I'm hoping for at least 4 lbs.

Hi all, Glad to hear everyone is getting on so well and glad that we are all sharing our first few days! My big news for the day......... At lunchtime I wasn't hungry (!) and had to 'force' the thai chilli soup down. I tried mixing it with less water to form a paste so I could finish it...

Bexter Keep going!!! Have a look through the inspiration slide show and remember everyday that passes you are a little slimmer!!

Hi all, So far I have had the strawberry shake (yummy), vegetable soup (fine), thai chilli soup (not great), hot chocolate (nice), banana shake (yummy), chicken soup (fine) and mushroom soup (again fine). I much prefer the shakes but have the soups so I feel like I'm eating rather than just...

Thanks BL - i've just looked at your photos and you look fab! You must be soooooooo happy. Rae - i know you can add tobasco but not sure about anything else - sorry.

No - it's brill honest!! I look forward each day to your updates!

Thanks for your replies. I can cope with it, I just thought if I could mix without froth it would be better! Really enjoying your blog Guy!!

Surreyslimmer - go to 'quick links' at the top and then click on edit signature - it let me do it this way.

Surreyslimer - for the tickers you go to tickerfactory.com and create a ticker. Copy the link it gives you and then go to your signature on this site and paste the link. Good luck!

Hi, I'm only on day 2 of LL so a newbie!! I have a question about the soups for you experienced lot! Do the soups mix easily? I ask because I put mine in the blender yesterday to make sure that the powder mixed well but it left me with a froth! Now whilst this is lovely with the shakes it...

I felt the same after returning from my first meeting. For 2 months I have been saying I will be slim by Christmas but then suddenly the time was here to do something about it and it seemed so daunting. I have done weight watchers before - twice and felt the same at the start then. I know...

Hi Laststraw. It's my first day too. I've had the strawberry shake for breakfast and the vegetable soup for lunch. I expected it to be so much worse. I have drunk about 2 litres so far today and am aiming to drink 3 each day. I'm scared of overdoing it. We were only told to drink to...

Had my first meeting last night. We were given all the shakes/soups in our pack and also 4 bars which we cannot have for the first few days and are only allowed 1 per day. I swapped the caramel shakes as I've heard they don't taste that nice. I had a strawberry shake for breakfast. It was...

Well done BL! You are an inspiration to me. :thankyou:

My oh is very supportive. He has never mentioned my weight but gets annoyed when I am miserable because of it. He says anything that makes me happy is OK with him. He bought me flowers at the weekend as a starting pressie and is thinking of things to do/buy after I have achieved mini goals. He...

I'm starting tonight too. I have bought myself a notebook to write all my feelings down. That way when I am finding it tough I will read how I feel being fat and hope this will help. I notice you live in Manchester - which group are you going to (weird if it's the same one eh?)

My GP signed mine no problem and didn't charge either. Mind you I made the appointment with the locum lol. 2 1/2 hours until my first meeting. Looking forward to meeting everyone who will be joining me on my journey but also a little scared when I think I wont be eating til probably 2009...

Hi to everyone! My meeting is tomorrow so I officially start Wednesday. Can't wait to start after nearly 2 months of waiting! Weird isn't it that I am looking forward to not eating? Well the no carbs didn't really work out over the weekend. I guess it is knowing that I wont be able to eat...

I'm not sure how much I weigh as I'm too scared to look but know my BMI is 31 point something. I would be very happy with 3 stone and even happier with more! How about you?

Hi to both of you!! I had a banana smoothie this morning (couldn't have my usual of toast or cereal as too much carbs) and carrott and coriander soup for lunch. Don't know what to have for dinner yet though???? I'm really looking forward to this challenge. I've just been to the...

Hi, New to all this so hope I have posted correctly!! Ok, I know i'm jumping the gun a little as we are still in August but I am starting my journey on 2nd September and would love to hear from people starting the same time as me (as well as you experienced lot!). I am so ready for this. I...
