    To all LighterLifers

    I feel really positive about Xmas, knowing that New Zealand will be just around the corner. It will only be hubby and his 80 yr old mum, and she doesn't eat much, so I'm not going overboard with the food as I normally do each year, we don't like Turkey, so it will just be a traditional roast...

    Vintella to loose what you have in 3 weeks is fantastic, 2 stone in just a month would be far too much I think, even if you do loose above 1st you are still well ahead of the recommended stone weight loss a month. Well done !!

    I'm trying to apply the same principles to smoking as we do to weight loss - in that it's a choice, and we have the choice to stop. Does that make sense? If we can get through the hunger pangs of food withdrawal, surely we can get through the withdrawal of nicotine? My joints don't ache...

    -- Lighter Life Alternatives --

    As far as I know LL is the only organisation to offer counselling. Most other weight loss organisations only offer the support of a weekly group, education and awareness. I think this is where LL is unique, otherwise we could all be doing CD, W8 or other VLCD's without the support and counselling
