    Johnson up day down day diet!

    It's insane isn't it? I lost over a stone in a month doing 'Curves' diet that was 1600 calories a day (although in fairness it was 1200 for 2 weeks previous to that-I lost a total of 1.5 stones in the 6 weeks, but like I said, a stone of it was when i was consuming 1600 calories) And apart from...

    do you (Laydeees) find you put on a few pounds

    I hope you're right, I've got 3lbs lurking inside me since Saturday and weigh in tomorrow, any chance they'll be gone? kate

    do you (Laydeees) find you put on a few pounds

    when your're due on? And if so when does it bugger off! Am really annoyed as I put on 3lbs despite doing everything to the letter, and it won't go away. :-( Hope there's some comforting experiences out there tia kate

    OMG - my first weigh in!!!

    Well done! kate
  115. Lilypad

    Why are you doing this?

    For hideously shallow reasons, so i can wear totally utterly gorgeous clothes, so my husband looks at me with admiration and lust in his eyes, so my kids know i'm really truly a yummy mummy and not just pretending to be one. So i am happy doing things that need little clothiung (swimming etc)...

    Should I start or wait?

    When I first started 5 weeks ago I did feel drained for a couple of weeks, but then my energy came back, and i now go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week, do 2 or 3 aerobics classes and jump on a treadmill a couple of times a week, so if you were to start now i think you'd be surprised at how much...

    Well done! i'm off to Amsterdam at the end of next month and one of my friends will try to sabotage my diet, she keeps saying, you can't go away and not eat. Why not? will it spoil her weekend somehow? Good luck with the weigh in kate

    Started LL yesterday!

    I have the same fear as you, I am actually really worried about having to eat again, how insane in that? Could you ask your counsellor to write down the key points for you,or ask if she'll get the group to rotate the key point taking, it seems hugely unfair that you aren't benefitting from the...

    Feeling light headed

    Yes I did (on LL) funnily enough around the same time as you, and it did pass, and I've literally spent the last week at the gym, my energy levels have noticeably increased! Well done on defeating the wrap :-) kate

    taking anti biotics on LL

    Don't take them out of the capsule, it's there to stop them being ingested too soon or being destroyed. I'm on aniti-b's atm too and hope it doesn't slow me down! kate

    Help!moral Support Needed I Am Going To Fall Off The Wagon :(

    Just noticed our loss and goal are almost identical. I bought some size 12 jeans and can squeeze in them, and I bet you can too (I'm saving the expensive jeans till I'm a 10, bought mine in Tesco/Sainsbury's, dirt cheap and no big deal when they are too big and they will be too big, just like...

    What exercise?

    Sounds like I'm similar to Sue, I go to Curves, which is women only, about 3 or 4 time a week, do 2 or 3 aerobic classes a week and walk on a treadmill for about 3 miles, twice a week. And I slob out at the weekend :-) No idea if it's quickening my weight loss but I think it's firming me up...

    Roll Up Roll Up! Predict Your Weight Loss Here!

    Well I predicted 5lbs and it was actually 3.5 but that still means I've lost 1/2 under a stone in 3 weeks so I'm quite pleased! Next week I think I'll do 4lbs! Ever the optimist kate
  150. Lilypad

    Why do I feel faint?

    I did too around the same time as you, and it does pass, or it did in my case anyway, took about 4 days, I was more lightheaded rather than dizzy, so hope I'm not whistling in the wind! kate
  151. Lilypad

    Mother in law - grrrrrr

    I wonder if it was a genuine comment not meant to upset you, iyswim, in that, in her opinion you weren't really overweight to start with so losing a bit of weight wouldn't be that noticeable. does that make sense? kate

    Slow weight loss

    Has anyone else experienced this, am refusing to let myself get disheartened, am doing this programme to the letter, drinking my water, adding nothing to the packs apart from the merest splash of Tabasco, drinking decaff black coffee, doing over 10,000 steps a day, err, can't think of anyother...
  153. Lilypad

    How on earth can I have put weight on

    Don't see her till next Tuesday. I've even managed over 10,000 steps a day since Tuesday. There's nothing I can do.

    How on earth can I have put weight on

    I'm drinking Sainsbury's dry and am not due on, am bang on mid cycle, it just doesn't make sense :-(
  155. Lilypad

    How on earth can I have put weight on

    Oh and don't be deceived by my ticker, it includes the drop in weight in my preparatory week and is also wrong as I haven't altered it to accomodate the 2lb gain :-(
  156. Lilypad

    How on earth can I have put weight on

    I just haven't cheated, not one little bit, have followed in to the letter yet this morning I'm 2lbs heavier, and my weight loss hasn't been that dramatic to start with! What's going on? I'm really upset, it all seems so worthless now, 17 days without food and only a significant first week...

    I stopped going to the gym in December but am planning to start going back again this week, what difference,in your experience, has this made to your weight loss, has it noticeably quickened up?
