Hi I am supermum. I started this diet a year ago tomorrow and lost 4 stone in 13 weeks - I finished in April and since the summer I have put on about 21 pounds - eeeeek. Not one person has noticed or so they say - but I have and it feels horrible having a roll again ! and I refuse to buy bigger...

Hi Don't worry about the blender just buy one that is easy to use - I have a braun one. One peice of advice for the coming months - do ot cheat - not once. If you make that deal with yourself you will sail through. Don't find an excuse to have a drink or a meal out - it is not worth it...

My mum did it - put on a stone and ended up back doing 2 weeks of LL - I say stick with it it will be gone soon !

A great thread and also really important to remember how bad things really were. I have lost four stone with LL and sometimes it is difficult to remember how unhappy I actually was. I too have been overweight for a long time (since I was 18 - I am 35 next week) I was okay though looked...

Hi there is another website called mvm I think (my virtual model) - you can even choose your eye colour.

Hi Sez You could try making your soups with green tea as it is supposed to speed up your metabolism ? I did it and it did seem to speed the weight loss up - also I drank 6 litres withut fail every day and lost 4 stone in 13 weeks.

You know what - I don't think you can do anything else. YOu have to be ready to lose weight whichever path you choose and no matter what other people say if you are not at that place then you can't do anything else. I hope this makes sense.

Hi I think this is a good idea but you might be surprised. You will be eating lots of fruit, vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains they should keep you healthy. However if you want to go down that route - I would take echinacchia and a multi vitamin. Speak to your local health food shop...

We discussed this last night ! Everyone admitted to not feeling how they thought they would now that we have lost our weight (am in mgmt now) I think this is all about what you perceive it will be like. Believe it or not most of us are getting fed up with people commenting on our weight loss...

Hi I know everyone is different but I didn't get to a size 14 until I was 11 and a half stone and I am 5:3. Althogh I think your LLC will let you determine your goal weight. I know that BMI's are sometimes unrealistic but is it worth going through all of this if you don't get to a healthy BMI...

Hi Amanda Thanks for your post - yes I am still going to management however I couldn't go last week so I couldn't discuss in the group or with my LLC. I think you are right there will be a big period of readjustment ! I just didn't realise that I would feel like this - I thought - I will be...

Hi all I wondered whether anyone has had the same emotional outbursts as me since finishing LL ............. I did my 14 weeks didn't cheat felt fantastic love the compliments and the pictures of myself now. I didn't really struggle with the counselling side either however since I have come...

Hi all Have had another weekend away - full english breakfast etc - as last week ate fruit for lunch and salad for tea today - will check th damage tomorrow. I have prepared my lunch - dips and veggies for tomorrow. I have had a very bad week emotionally and I think it is becsaue I have...

Sez I weigh myself at home and I shouldn't ! however my weight pretty much stays the same until I get to Wednesday and then it changes !!! not sure why. Youhave lost a lot of weight and youwill continue to do so - maybe your body is having a break ! Keep at it ! It works - i promise you...

Thanks all - I think half the reason for me feeling so bad is having to try and find a new way to deal with it all emotionally - I can't hide anymore and I have to open up and that is really difficult for me. I can't stand criticism and tend to ignore it rather than take it on the chin and deal...

Hi all Thanks for your comments - unfortunatley I saw an email conversation that I shouldn't have !! So I have hard evidence. I think it is the anticpation of talking to my boss about it next week. Just need to get on with it I suppose

Hi all I am having a hard time at work - I only work part time but found out by accident tht my team are not happy with my magmt - that I am not in enough etc etc. It has really thrown me and I realise that usually I would hide my emotinons by stuffing myself with food I have been so tempted...

You just need to find your way of drinking the water. I have a sports cap bottle (750ml) and I Make sure that I drink one in the car on the way to work on the way back on the way to swimming on the way back from wi - it just seems to make the go a bit quicker. I can't stand drinking out of a...

Thanks Sam - you will be here soon !

Don't let this win. You must reaffirm your commitment and just start again tomorrow - I would have your pack drink some water and go to bed. Tommorow just trat as a normal day - YOU CAN DO THIS.

Hi all I have my managment meeting tonight - am really hoping that I will have lost a pound. For those that have been asking about weight loss - I lost three pounds in the first week of managment. Hvae begun to realise that the quality of food is really important - today I bought a fruit...

Great - well I shall make a start. Even though I have been on magmt for three weeks my clothes keep feeling loose (er) by the day ! I lost 3 pounds in my first week but I know I have stayed the same this week as I went away for the weekend so although I have got back on track I have not lost...

There seem to be a few of us January starters that are now in managment - anyone interested in updating each other with experiences and weight losses (gains) on the same thread ?

Hi Cmacca - I don't go to Angel although I might for further managment as my LLC is leaving in June. I have met her though and she is really lovely and I think very supportive. Good luck with your first week.

Please don't do that Sez. Why don't you look at how far you have come. You have done so very well. It may well be totm becasue this weight loss thing plays havoc with your hormones - I have just started managment and have had two periods in 21 days !!! Drinks some water make a nice...

Hi Cmacca Well done on liking the vanilla - I couldn't stand it !!!!! Remember this is your journey and you may not have the same reaction as anyone else. Keep drinking the water and visualise yourself in a size 12 !!! Good luck:)

Had a sneaky peak at the scales and it looked like I had put on three pounds - aghhhhhhhhh. However got back on track had a working lunch in my meeting and just ate the frut and veggie kebabs and a salad for my tea and jumped on this morning and I look like I have lost two of them so hopefully...

I am going to watch it !

Hi Channell the anger into something positive ??? One slip up is not going to harm the diet - just drink some more water and tomorrow is another day - you could always take yourself shopping tomororw - it is your birthday.

Hi all I am on mgmt week 2-3 and have just been away for the weekend with my bestest girlfriends. Have tried to be careful although I have eaten food that do not appear in my list !!! I have eaten little bits of cheese / chocolate / bread and wine however if that had been the old me I would...

Hi I think you might be better doing two weeks of each managment week rather than trying to ss - you may be able to lose 2-3 lb a week and keep up with your fitness ? Good luck

Anna I really feel for you. My dad died of a heart attack and every time anyone even mentions the word I feel awful. I really hope that you can just start tomorrow afresh. I agree totally with you re tmi for 5 - 11 years old - they really don't need to be overloaded with all of it - they...

Hi I felt like you only I had never been a size 8 but was in size 18 trousers and 20 tops - I was 14 stone - 14 weeks later I am 9.11 and wearing size 12 comfortabley,so I have lost four stone in 14 weeks. I was scared about the diet but once you have made the commitment you will be fine...

Hi don't be down - look at where you where you were 14 weeks ago - you have done so well. Why not go out and treat yourself with a day at a pa or a facial and then right mini goals and rewards down so that you can see some progress ? You have another 4 stone to go but it you could do that in...

Thanks Goombagirl - haven't we all done so well !!!!!!! big pat on the back !!!!!!!!!!!!!:wow: :wow:

I haven't told anyone which is why I use supermum and not my name !!! Don't blame you !!!!

Thanks to you both - have found that page in the blue book now - can't wait to have my snack next week !

You know what - I think management is harder ! because when you are not eating at all there is no choice apart from the flavour of soup or shake ! Plus although I was surrounded by food all of the time it did not even occur to me to have a taste but it occurs to me ALL of the time now ! I am...

Hi all - thought I would let you know that whilst doing LL I have made a book with a graph in it of my weight loss and also a list of goals and when I hit them - future events to look forward to, things I want to do like learn to play tennis and I have also got a section on before and after...

I agree with everyone - I hate celery but know it is good for you - I grate it into shepherds pie / lasagne / pasta sauce or you soup and then you could freeze them ? Don't eat - it will be a slippery slope - the best peice of advice I was given was not to cheat. Go for it...........

Hi Sarah I told no-one apart from my Mum (who has done it too) and my husband. My children have never noticed that I am not eating. Of course I had to start telling people once they noticed my weight loss. I think my OH thought I wouldn't succeed and has now started saying that I am too...

Hi can anyone help me with a question ? I am on week one of managment and begin week 2 this week - I am not sure when I begin to increase the number of food meals that I have ? I am having dinner at the moment but not sure when I can add lunch and I don't think the book is that helpful ?

Hi I have stuck to it 100% and I have lost four stone in 13 weeks - however I have drunk 6 litres of water a day since week 4. I would advise that you up your water. My LLC says that if you drink four litres then you will lose 3 stone but if you drink 6 you will lose at least 4 stone. I...

Thanks - I am really trying to think about how I feel - I am of course delighted and feel healthy and surprisingly tall ! but I think I am slightly disappointed by the fact that I still have lumps and bumps, I am hoping that as I increase my exercise that some of them will disappear - my husband...

Kels I have had the same management worries as you and I begin next week - however I have had a rollorcoaster of thoughts about can I afford it etc but I think it is our chatterbox - we feel better and we think we can finish this journey alone and we are desperate to be "normal" again but we...

Hi Skinny I set my goal at 10.5 which was 1lb off the top of my bmi (at 5.4) but now my top end should be 10.2 so I think I am going to set myself a goal of 9.12. I saw my Doctor today and he was wowed and said 9 stone would be great but equally 9.12 was fine. I jsut can't imagine being 9...

Gonna be hard on you ............ Put the scales away ther eis no point checking your weight 3 or 4 times day as you kno it will change. Try to go for once a week or at least twice a week. Also stop fretting about the jeans - they will fit in time. This diet does work and your...

Hi Same problem here as well - but get yourself on ebay I bought pair of M&S black cords the other day for £7.00 including the postage ? Also I bought two jumpers in Next today - a 12 and a 14 to get me through work 2 for £20 which is very reasonable. Tesco Asda Sainsbury primark and...

Yorkie You have been through a hell of a year and you need support. Be honest with your family and friends. Ithink the second year after someone has died is so much worse than the first. - Ihave been there. I have also been there offering help and it isn't taken up and then you forget what...

Hi You should do what ever you feel is right. My LLC does not show DVD she says it is a waste of time and she says she doesn't stick to their rigid ways. I think if I were you I may well have strayed.

Hi Can youtell me how much your tummy tuck and boob job are going to cost ? I think I could do with both after I have finished this !:p

My first goal is 10.5 I don't think I can face anymore than 14 weeks and I should get there by then as long as I can lose 3.2 pounds per week ! However I really want to be be about 9.12 - I haven't been that since I was 18 !!!! so I am hopping that I can lose a further 7 pounds on maintenance.

Hi I am in the same boat as you and yes it is expensive but so is weightwatchers etc if you are a member for about 5 years which is what I have been ! I am using up all of the food in my freezer / cupboards - making lots of interesting healthy dishes from nothing like eggs and veggies. I buy...

Hi all Thanks mindless - put that way makes the time seem insignificant. Anyway - I think it is just that I am beginning to be really aware of my feelings - clearly I have shut them out before and I am so shocked at how much I must have done this. Had wi only last night and LLc is on hols -...

Hi Lana I get weighed tonight but my scales say 24 pounds and last week it at ll it was 21 so am hoping for a 3-4lb off again. Honestly you won't lose weight this quickly on any other diet - keep going.

Skinny Have been feeling really low today - am about to end week five today and beginning to think that there are just weeks and weeks of packs ahead of me. Also I always cook a nice meal on valentines and feel I am missing out. Also had a conversation with a friend about her cousin who has...

Slimslow I really would recommend that you write out your goals into acheivable ones. Maybe write out all of the important things coming up and have a goal weight or BMI beside it - also write a list of the reasons why you want to lose weight. I managed to lose two stone before each of my...

You know what - I am very miserable as well. It is not the lack of food - it is the fact that I have got myself into this position in the first place. I have been fat since I was about 19 (about 15 years) and itis only now that I have done something very serious about it and I am so annoyed...

AJ Finding this thread very interesting - hope you don't mind me asking two questions ............. What is Raita ? It sounds like your love life is certainly alright !! Mine is not but am hoping that this diet will help !!! Is this what happend in your experience ? TVM

My reasons never end ............ not to be so damn miserable / to go out and not mind meeting new people / my team take me more seriously / I take myself more seriously / my marriage / great sex - any sex would do ! / chase my kids around the park / look good in summer clothes / go swimming...

Slimslow DON'T WORRY. I often feel like you - but there won't be ANY other diet out there that will be as effective as this one. You must take the slow weight loss with the fast. My LLC said that after a couple of weeks youwill think you can do this alon and that you should remeber that...

Hi all A quickie for me - I got weighed early becasue I am off to see my sister in NY today. I lost another 3 - looks like that is my magic number. Wish five were my Magic number !!!!!!!!!! Have had awful week - both children have been ill and I have not been out of the house since Sunday ...
