i want to join a class in Janu 2009.... but i am contemplating it all still and feel nervous as i have failed many diets

When i tried to do SW last time in my life which was years ago. i struggled with SW because i found it hard to know what went together, for example, a bowl of plain pasta is not tasty, so eventually i failed.... i really want to do it this time, but lack, imagination with recipe. because you...

hi i have stopped and started and said goodbye to my CDC quite a few times to start another diet, and now i want to go back to her, but then again, i keep on thinking that maybe i need a fresh start.... but what if i ' jump out of the frying pan into the fire' and get a CDC who i do not get...

i feel disappointed that not much is happening on this forum for rosemary conley.:sigh: maybe it will get more exciting one day.

hi Sazzy, i have just started the kick-start, i am on day 1, and i am loving it, i joined my class last night and did the aerobics, i have not done any exercise for a long time!!!, i will let you know how i get on, and i am going to adjust my ticker,

i will let you know how i got on, i will be doing the exercise.... start as you mean to go on... and my childcare is a bit of a challenge, my husband is working late, so after school and nursery my kids will still have to be baby sat, but it won't be like this every week... good luck and please...

just to let you all know a bit about me, i have done the cambridge diet and then lighterlife, but i really need to eat food and exercise now, so i am really looking forward to this!, i have about 8stones to lose.

i am starting RC on Mon eve, and feel motivated, i have failed lots of diets, but this one has to work for me, watching the slim to win has insipired me!!!!

hello i am new, and i am joining a rc class tomorrow too, feeling quite excited, as i have just quit lighter life.

just to let you all know i am leaving ll, good bye, i will have to try something else.... just not coping:tear_drop:. but i am happy with my decision.

i changed my mood to relaxed but it did not work, so i am just testing it again.

sounds like you have a wonderful llc, enjoy the photo shoot. i would wear a pretty dress with make up, and nice shoes, but then that is how i am, and when i am slim that is what i hope i can wear, still black trousers are nice, with a pretty blouse/t-shirt, hope the eve, goes well.

thanks BL. knew i could count on you for an answer:)

it is so true laststraw, it is about attitudes and mine are changing here. from now... i feel stronger today, and know and believe that i can do this:)

you have made me feel so happy too, your losses have been excellent!!!, very insipiring. you deserve it!!!

i tell you what Skinny Debs, i started bars this week and wobbled.... and fell:tear_drop:, i was absolutley starving and i was in fat burning mode too, but i love the bars and tend to have them in the evening last thing at night, but the day it went all wrong for me i had it for lunch.

i messed up yesterday, i am ashamed to say, but i am over it and back on track. but when you first start ll you are only allowed shakes, to get into fat burning mode, so you think i need to go back to just having shakes/soups and leave out the bars for a few days? i am confused, i have phoned my...

thank you , thank you. i am back on track and just had a thai chilli soup, not bad eh? quite nice really.

thank you blonde logic, and ella for your words, i feel much more positive, i am not sure if to contact my counsellor. i feel afraid to tell her, i will make a fresh start tom.

this post has been helpful as i am on lighter life and still feel hungry, which i did not think i should be, it is hard at times. thanks for the useful tips on here.

what scares me is that i feel weak and 'winded' most of the time, and i do not think i could go running on 530 calories. i probably would die. i am still feeling weak and hungry on some days of ll, is this normal, i am not happy at the mo. :sigh:

i was feeling rather awful today, went to work for the 2nd time this week and still no heating, so i am feeling colder than ever, with being in ketosis. but i ate today and feel so bad, i have 2 young children, and a husband so there is always food in the house. can i still carry on with ll? i...

ketosis is when you are in fat burning mode and some of the symptoms are: feeling cold, bad breath, weak, and if you pee on a urine stick it should turn pinky purple in colour.

excellent insipiring post, you have gone from morbidly obese to overweight!!!!! excellent,i am happy for you.

i constantly have a bad taste in my mouth, it is slightly relieved when i have glass of water, maybe it is the ketosis, ... i am worried now, i have to endure this for at least another 7 months, feeling a bit rubbish about it all. it is really hard, felt hungry and weak today, went to town...

thanks:thankyou:

i love shopping too, but have a long way to go before i can shop, well done to you and enjoy .

well done!!!!, you are insipiring.

was 10lbs!!!!!! yipee!!!!!!, and i am in ketosis and plan to stay in ketosis as long as i am losing weight. i updated the oct thread.:cool:

£66 per week and i was a failed, CDer, and now i have just completed 1 week on ll and have not cheated once, this is going to work for me, and i hesitated because of the cost, but i need to save my health.

hello all, i get weighed tomorrow, my first week is almost complete, so i will all let you know how much i weigh.

dear

thanks for that reply, i felt like i was going to die, i feel a bit better, i will buy some marigold now and drink it.

hi Polly, cheer up, sometimes i feel like you, in the husband department and even with friends, my OH has gone out every day and evening since i started ll , wed, thurs, fri and he was going to go out tomorrow, but he has cancelled, life is hard and can be difficult, but i totallu understand...

i feel so weak, and hungry and i only have 1 foodpack left til bedtime, i am seriously worried that i won't last. got a mild headache too.:tear_drop: day 3 is hard, and i have got my kids food (leftovers ) staring me in the face, i am going to bin them now!

i was thinking about you, because i feel weak today, too i just about managed the school run. i think we are aobut to enter ketosis, and these feelings wont last, maybe until yougo to bed tonight, i have done this type of diet before, it is hard, keep strong. i only have 1 pack of food left for...

hello, i am on day 3 of ll, and am feeling like you, but after reading your post replies, i feel alot better, all the best and just keep on going.

oh poor you, i am on day 3 of my diet, i am on ll. so it is similar to lipotrim. i am hungry too, so jsut think that is two if us tog. it will be so worth it in the end, just hang on in there,

excellent, well done, very inspirational , i am on day 3 of ll. keep it up.:)

that sounds absolutely delicious!, i have not started bars yet... am looking forward. glad you got through your tough day unscathed.

i am on day 3, and like you had lots of thoughts about ll, should i do it? what if it is too difficult. I am married with a 7yr old daughter and a 1yr old son, and i have to prepare food, cook, and shop. right now i have grapes and croissants in the house, but i am determined to to this,i need...

sorry you are feeling so upset, i would be. here are some ((((hugs)))) and you really need to speak to your sister, this situation could get out of hand, it is very painful for you and it is not fair at all, what they are doing to you. with the weight loss, remember, we all lost it at different...

i am a bit like blonde logic, i just don;t think i could be comfortable in a thong, but i am yet to try,when i get slim.:D

problem is sorted.:) thanks

i have never had that feeling, you must be feeling on top of the world.. i am very happy for you

well done, indian princess, i have just started ll, and on day 2, i feel great, how much weight do you want to lose? i want to weigh 9 stones as i am 5ft 2 tall at the moment i am 17st 12lbs. so that is about 9 stones.

i have noticed that i do not have a mood icon on my signiture? or avatar thingy? why?? i really would like one displayed, i do change my mood on the drop down bar, but it does not show on my posts, why is this?:rolleyes:

i knew about ll, along time ago, and quite a few ofmy husband's colleagues have lost huge amounts of weight on ll. I started with the Cambridge diet and did well, then i became quite complacent and too familiar with counsellor and kept on cheating ... then she suggested ll and my husband...

well done, i need to book mine from now, the surgery that i belong to, have a long waiting time. keep on going!!1:)

i went to work, and did not want to but when i got there it is alright. when i got home, my husband bought me some fresh flowers, a bunch of roses and some berries.. he said...' these are fresh flowers for you for a fresh start'.... you see i have done so many diets before, including cambridge...

welcome, today is day 2 for me, and i love the shakes and feel high!!!, i only had a minor headache on the first day and felt a bit crotchety, but i am happy today, because i know that i really am going to be slim this time and that i will be able to buy small new clothes... i have 8-9 stones...

((((hugs)))) to wonderful Emsksi!!! sorry that you feel like that, but you feel much better now, i am on day 2 and feel quite happy today. but i want to sleep, so hopefully i will try and fit in a nap later. enjoy your evian, i bought the flavoured water st. clements and i drink it in hot water...

I am happy for you, you really have had a fab day, i love the bit where your oh bought you a bouquet of flowers saying' you are amazing' oh i long for that, i have been feeling down in the dumps lately. Even though i have started ll, i just feel down sometimes

THANKS

Hello, i started on the 22nd oct and have about 9 stones to lose, so we have started about the same time, so we could be buddies? Lets inspire each other along the way. My weigh day is tues.

just went to my first lighter life CBT and weigh in evening, it was really nice, i felt a bit 'flat' when i got home, but i think i have sorted the problem out now, i have alot of reading to do, as i have started in the 2nd week and have things to look at. :)

i really need to learn how to make an avatar, i would like to have my photo as an avatar and to put on my before and when i get there my after pictures, i have tried, photowebsite, but i don;t understand it, it is too complicated, maybe someone on here could send me a post of how to paste on a...

sorry lynn, you are a real open honest chic, sounds like you have got alot on your plate, at least you know how to let off steam and share stuff, it is better to do that than bottle it up. cheer up and i hope you feel better soon. ((((hugs)))) clarins

yes i won;t do that again,

welcome, and enjoy the journey, i start tomorrow, and my foodpacks on Wed, i am very excited and nervous, i have never done this before.:)

thanks for all the replies:)

well done, you can see the changes, but it may be difficult for you to see.... i think a useful tip is to wear exactly the same clothes in all your photos from now on, then it will be easier for you to notice.:)

on a thread, wow!!!! you have lost alot of weight!!!! i am very inspired, i live in s.e london.

hello, i am about to start ll this week wed will be day 1, i will all let you know how i get on and then make my ticker on here... but i am worried because i have work on thurs from 8.30 til 12.30 on day 2, how did you all cope with your first days and first week, think i may have to take annual...

well done, em!, you have done brill on your holiday, looks like you have mastered this!!! just keep on going and looking ahead,:)

everytime i try to edit my own post, it says ' i do not have permission to edit'. does anyone else have this problem? how do you edit your own post then, (if you need to, e.g spelling mistake)

.... so i will be starting on Tuesday for Wednesday next week, i am elated, happy, high, excited, nervous, and gearing myself up mentally for this challenge. i love this feelig and i love lighter life..:)

glad that you are happy with your llc, i searched around until i was happy with waht i saw for counsellors, it will make alot of difference. how come you have started before your form was signed? is it because you are a re-starter?

your weight losses have been excellent!!!!! just look at them and you should be feeling very proud of yourself, infact you are an insipration. i start Tuesday next week, and jst got my form signed today, so i am rather elated at the moment! keep strong and think about you losses.

next week Tuesday. but the foddpacks starts on Wed, i am so happy !! how comes you have started before and then getting your form signed after?? this is to minim

i got my form signed, my G.p just signed it and asked for no money!!!!! i am so happy, infact happy is an understatement, i am really really really happy, woop!!!! woop!!!!

i have not started yet, but the inital weigh in that i had was in stones and lbs, so hopefully when i start next week it will still be stones and lbs.

well done Em!!! well done on your 2nd week loss of 4.5lbs:D

well done emzski, well done :D:happy096: on your 2nd weigh in, love clarins

roll on wednesday, i am getting my form signed on Wednesday, so i am preparing what to say.... i am excited too. soon i won't be eating food, BUT losing weight!!!!

that must be a difficult feeling slimbride2b , i think everyone must go through that feeling, i hope an experienced ll can help you, as i have not started yet and can't wait to. keep strong today.

that is a lovely post and a good tip,. because i have started to practise having tea without milk and i noticed the film too, so i will use a brita water filter, i have one, but dont always fill my kettle up with it, too lazy, i will from now on.:)

i just had a look at your collection, and you are very talented. they are beautiful.

how do you make half choc and half vanilla? do you open sachets and pour half the mix and half the mix and what do you do with the remaining mix, in the sachet? sorry i am a bit thick here at the mo. maybe because i have a headache. already taken x2 paracetamols and x2 neurofen,

seat

neat

i am very glad for you, i can guess that you have a sense of relief now, phew!! all the best and do really well on ll, let me know your journey and how it feels and how you get on. love clarins

i am being positive and i think that my gp will sign the form, i belong to a nice practice, newly joined, and it feels good. i just need to be patient! and then i will have to speedy gonzales my form to my llc,before it is too late.

sorry i treid to edit the previous, it should read 'journey'

dear lynn, please don't look at your husband's customers wife. this is your journet, you need to make it yours, after all you are paying £66 per week to do this. change your confessions and say that 'this will be the first thing that you do in your life that is successful, and you will complete...

i am a practice nurse, i feel like you too, i wish i could sign my own form,,, there must be a better way . it is very stressful and worrying waiting for a gp to say 'yes' or 'no', they do not realise they have your future and alot of power in their hands!!! hope you get your form sorted asap.

seam

i am a practice nurse and it is so frustrating to wait to see a Gp to get my ll form signed and then to be possibly told that you can't do it, my appt. is on WEd, so long to wait, i am feeling sick with anxiousness!!!:( i so want to start and get slim and do ll, if i don't i will cry for 1 whole...

anaphylactic: yes you are right , i read in the small ll booklet that you have milk to make your shakes for a week, then back to food packs until you reach goal, at least it makes me feel better because i have not even started yet and i will be doing abstinence for more than 3 mths!!!, seems...

:)last night, i went for another informal chat to meet my potential llc, and it is excellent, i met other ladies there and there was a real excitement and buzz, we all hope to start in the next 1 to 2 to 3 weeks.I have not met the whole group yet, but will, i am just praying that my new gp will...

i will be an october starter, hopefully on the 22nd oct, my first meeting will be on Tues 21st oct, but my gp must sign the form first and my appt. is next week wed, so if that goes well i can start in 2 weeks!! woop woop!

I would like to be able to lose 7 stones, but i have already lost 2 stones with CD, and gained back a little, now that i have stopped CD, i would like to do ll, because it seems really good and just what i need for the CBT and just the whole plan, is different to CD, i need a new start,

hi Emszci, you have made my day, i will go for it!!, it may take weeks to get on the programme and start, but i will do it, i will let you know how i get on and when i start.

I have contacted a llc in Bromley, does anyone know the Bromley counsellor, i am very nervous, because i have just changed my Gp, and i hope that my new gp will be happy to sign the form, i am well and not sick and not on any meds. If i can't start in October then would you advise me to wait...

i have a baby who is 11mths and does not sleep well due to severe eczema and a 7yrs old, so i always feel tired, i work part-time 8 hrs per week and my husband does shifts, which means i am often home alone with the kids, if i decided to go ahead and do ll, it means i will have to pay a...

thanks, i am in the process of changing G.p's now, so will take about 1 week or so. i feel despondent now:(

i work for my G.p , i booked an appt. to see her some weeks ago, as i was going to do the Cambridge diet, then i changed my mind, so then i made another appt. to see her to ask her if i could do the ll diet with the form to sign and she wouldn't, instead she offered me a number to call for CBT ...

the only people who know, are my husband and my twin sister. but once i start more people will know, because it will become obvious, so i will just leave it at that.

problem sorted, you are now added to my list of friends xx

i would love to be your friend, but the webpage is not allowing me to do it, i will keep trying, i am responding, but it says that i do not have persmission,

my qualified llc, has a lovely manner, but she did not lose any weight, she just did the training and qualified, do you think this matters when doing a diet like ll? i did at first, but speaking to my husband about it, we reasoned that you really get your strength from the group, and it does not...

hugs to you.... just reading your post makes me realise how difficult it can be to do abstinence!, which i am about to embark on next week, cheer up, draw a line and start again, use the CBT sessions to help you, read your notes, apply the stuff you have learnt!, look at your goals and dreams...

good luck for the interview, do your best,

hi, i am new too, i start on the 24th sept. i will have the counselling group in the evening then start the actual ll on the 25th Sept. so we are only 1 week apart! i will be looking out for you, and we must spur each other on, through the difficult times! i love minimims!!!;)

i am lucky because: my husband is supporting me finanacially to do ll. i have 2 beautiful children. i am alive i have found ll and start next week wed!!

i like and wear make-up by clarins, i recently bought eye colour quartet and lipstick by clarins!

seap

went to see my G.p this morning, and she still has the form, so i will collect it later, she tried to pursuade me to do something else, but i have really and truly made up my mind. i will all let you know how i get on and what my start weight is, oh i am so excited to get slim!!!
