Day 1 back on plan. Spent a lovely Christmas and New Year back home! Was expecting to be on packs on the 1st, instead opted to follow low carb (I do S&S total) until home due to all the social events (8 months away is too long!). Over Christmas I was aiming to be mindful, which was made a bit...

Still going strong... only 10 days until I see my family for Christmas which I cannot wait for! Just as I'm getting into the swing of it I'll be on a short break over Christmas, gah! Will have Christmas day off and will be aiming to cut my cals to 1500 for the rest of the week I'm home, then...

Day 9 has gone well! Was out the house bright and early to go to speak to my mentor at placement. Then to uni for a 11 til 5! This diet is proving expensive though... regained my love of buying clothes. Spent £70 I probably don't have today lol! Woopsie. Will all be worth it though. Only buying...

Managed a week on plan! Into Day 8 now. On my way to uni, just had my breakfast shake :) woke up at 6.30 this morning and didnt need to be up til 9, madness! Finding I'm much more energised on less sleep now. Usually id still be tired after 9hrs. Having 3 shakes and 1 soup a day at the moment...

Hey Priya, Sorry to hear about that. Try not to panic - it will come off soon. Just a temporary gain. I'm not sure what I weigh atm which I prefer tbh. Makes looking at the bigger picture much more difficult re timeframe. Day by day :) I'm in a 12-14 on bottom which is the size I was when I...

Just perseverance Priya as you say! A lot of people have days off plan, don't beat yourself up about it. Just try and lose as much as poss between now and xmas :) even if you don't make it into the nines you've still done incredibly well. It's amazing how even off plan our mind stops us from...

Hey Abbey, Congrats on your weight loss so far! It can be really hard to get on plan fully - I told myself this time to struggle for 3 days then see how I feel. Thankfully I've managed to stick with it, but I've tried in the past and done a few days at a time! I'm in a similar position - I...

So, I got through today with ease! Even if it consisted of washing my shaker in a bathroom sink between uses (it didnt touch the sides trust me!). Had a lovely chicken soup pack for dinner, tastes just like a cup a soup :) Finished uni at 6 - had a 2hr break between lectures and where I'd...

Midway through the day, 2 lectures down and 2 packs down! Used to be so secretive about where I had my packs, now I don't care ha. Had one before I left in the kitchen with my housemate (she's a nutrition/fitness freak but even knowing this I didnt care if she agreed with it or not), then just...

Thats almost a pound in a day! Other diets youd lose that in a week. Youre close, just stick with it and youll be there soon enough xx

Katie, firstly I'm so thrilled for you - managing to conceive naturally after all must have been so amazing! I was the same in July then gave up with it completely, went to Slimming World and was eating healthily - I know I'm a little lighter since then but not sure by how much (I always told...

Heya, Yeah jeans can be really annoying! I always go for high waisted if they don't have them in a 34 leg as I'm quite tall - they just fall down! It's good to see the results along the way - sounds like it's coming off the areas you said about! Great that you have a plan in place - I don't...

What is your personal mini goal? I should probably set one - I only have my ultimate goal of reaching 10st... I don't even know what I weigh! Might make it to get into the next size down before Christmas :) will be getting some bottoms on the 23rd so it gives me a motive - won't be too...

How lovely! Welcome back Katie. :) have you got your packs already? I too am intrigued whether you brought into the world a gorgeous little girl or boy! You must me over the moon, belated congrats and good luck! Look forward to reading your posts :) xx PS: Kira, thanks for your reply - just...

Oh yes I've tried that too - not bad! I have very mild tastebuds tbh so finding some of the soups a challenge! Can't believe how much better I feel already. Usually at the weekend I'd sleep until at least 11! Woke up yesterday at 7.30, made my boyfriend some breakfast and got a load of studying...

Hey Katie :) Thanks hun! Tbh there are a few horrible ones, maybe I'm just picky ha. Not at all fond of the hazelnut or caramel shakes, or strawberry infact - the bits are offputting haha. Tried to have the Thai soup but managed half and gave up! Tomato is also one to avoid, very bitter...

So, day 4... happy to say I have stuck to it 100%! Finding it a little easier as each day goes by, especially now that I'm into ketosis (well I think so!) :D Apologies for any "food talk" throughout my posts, I find it useful to reflect! :p Sat with my boyfriend at an Italian gelato parlour...

Hi Priya, You're doing great! Be a bit easier on yourself :) you will get into the 9s, worrying won't make your body rush though... you're doing all you can on plan and that's brilliant! Just keep positive, and know that whether it's in days or weeks you WILL see the difference! It can be...

Hey, Thanks for your reply! Have been scrolling through the past few days and it really helps with your focus. Just completing my 3rd day on plan - think I'm in ketosis now as I had to remind myself to have my packs today! Much easier :) Ah thank you hun, so desperate to be comfortable for my...

Hey everyone! I hope you are all getting on well! Reading some really inspirational posts on this forum, I can tell this site will be a gift for me most days :) So I've decided to do S&S, 4 packs a day (forgot the name of it!) after gaining a bit in the past 2 years! I joined LL in Dec 2011 at...

Hey everyone, Hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread! Just wanted to say you're all doing fab! I've just started today, 3 weeks until Christmas and I'm hoping to get a good bit of weight off. These forums are a great support :-) Also going back to the exercising - when I did LL I went...

Hey, I also did LL. I finished in 2012 after losing 13 stone, but have put on a couple of stone since. Maintained for a while then got difficult when I started Nursing. Shift work is a killer! S&S have such a good variety of packs though. I am just starting tomorrow (Wednesday). Aiming to...

Hey guys, I'm currently on placement & starting a new part-time job next week. Talk about timing huh! Lol. I'll find out my hours for placement tomorrow, then I need to notify my employer of when I'm available & find out when they want me to start. If you guys go ahead and arrange to meet when...

Ah thank you both - sorry I went on a lil bit of a rant and hijacked the thread lol! Weird when you finally put down your thoughts having not been around others in the same position for ages. I know a couple of months hard work and I'll be where I wanna be. Considering I did it for 14 months...

I can so relate to everything said in the OP, and from others also! I started LL in October 2011, and finished in December 2012. It worked really well for me and the support/forums really helped me keep going. I was 17 when I started and already at 22 1/2 stone. I didn't do anything your normal...

It really depends which ones you try. I am a fan of the S&S coconut crunch and lemon crunch bars. They don't have that same chemical taste following. I think they also do a crispy toffee type one also? Some of the ones I ordered tasted absolutely horrid though I must say. Thought I'd give them...

Hey guys, I'm also a returning VLCD'er. I lost my weight on LL - started at 22st 7, finished at 10st3. Since coming to uni last August I've managed to creep up 2 dress sizes, so back on packs today and signed up to the gym to try shift the majority before start of year 2 in September! I'm also...
