Hi All I am a November starter but from last year:) I feel a bit envious of you all at the begining of your journeys- its so exciting as the weight comes off. 1 year on and I still sometimes do a double take in the mirror!! Keep up the good work-it relly is worth it

Oh My! that was the fastest 12 weeks ever.Can't believe I've finished RTM. 2lb over ideal target but ok with that- well within my "window". Now the journey starts- I dont post on here very much but i do read a lot and would really like to say a big thanks to all those who write...

:8855:lmao !!

Thanx muchly for your replies. Lakeland have branches dotted around the country but i shop with them online- beware tho' if your a gadget junky like me you could end up spending a fortune lol :)

Does anyone make their own yoghurt?I am considering getting an "easi-yo" from lakeland cos they are 1/2 price, but would welcome any opinions.

Excellent advice from Minerva(as always)i'm a smoker and use cigarettes instead of food .I have smoked more since starting LL- and still do on week 10 of RTM.I dont think it affected actual weight loss one way or the other.

Sorry to hear things are a bit tough at the moment Daisy.You seem to know what to do tho'- keep reading...I do and it does help, especially looking back at some of the exercises I did in foundation about why I wanted to do this in the first place- remembering that pretty scared but determined...

Welcome back Anna, good luck hun. look forward to your posts

Way hey nice one Daisy :party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049::party0049:

Great positive attitude Daisy. I bet you haven't gained as much as you think.I put on 9lbs whilst on holiday- far too much alcohol!! but I've managed to lose 5.5lbs of that in my 1st week back- I'm trying not too focus too much on my weight as i'm pretty much at target , the most important bit...

:roofles: Reminds me when I found a lump whilst having a shower- was my breastbone!

Nice one Daisy. Great photo

Just had a look at this thread. Well done you lot !! You are all doing great

Just sorting out my holiday clothes- off to Corfu next week:). Such a pleasure trying stuff on this year compared to last year when I had to live in trousers cos of "thigh rub" but finding it hard to decide what to take to kep within baggage allowance. Do you think the airline will let me have...

I love my wii fit- Daisy the more time you clock up the more options you get. There is a 2nd slightly longer/complex step routine(still quite easy) and maybe a 3rd? how are you at the balancing games? I am absolutely useless lol. but I have managed to get my wii fit age down to 31(14 years...

Nice one Daisy. looking good girl :)

Just seen this post- well done Em you look wonderful

Like you SB loving the loose necklaces- have dug out dozens that have been unworn for years :)

Salad is just wow isnt it ? lol. my Oh was crying with laughter when I was oohing over celery earlier:)

Nice one Daisy .you are a :superwoman: Bet you feel on :character00100:!!!

Thanks everyone. Day 3 now and ok. planning is absolutely crucial for me that was a major problem- " hadn't planned what to cook for dinner so i used to eat the whole kitchen!" so taking heed and have got lists galore :)

Hi , had my weigh in tonight and have decided to start RTM, as of tomorrow. Thanks to all who post here, have been having a browse and some great advice and inspiration on here. off to bed to dream about chicken !!

You look great Daisy.

Glad you enjoyed your trip to my home town- I took the bull(ring) by the horns last week and loved it too buying stuff 4 sizes smaller :)

Hi Pete .Good to hear things are going well -both weight and date!

you can always commit a few more "offences" I'm planning to :D only got £415!!

OMG just noticed my BMI is below 25!! that feels good :) :)

Well done Saz great loss. Mandy, I'm sure you will stay on track- I remember your posts when you were waiting to start LL you were so determined and positive- losing a lot of weight even before you started-you can do it-you are doing it !! :) 2lb for me this week- getting close to goal now- bit...

How lovely SB. Well deserved indeed. You glow girl !!

:8855:nice one BL I trained as a psychiatric nurse and the idea that people can become more disturbed at a full moon was dismissed as a myth but many people I know who have worked in a pyschiatric institution swear its true:confused: but could be a self fulfilling prophesy type of thing?

Many congratulations Emma. What wonderful news :)

Great post BL thank you . I have had a Cr**py 2 weeks had a lapse ( my 1st and hopefully last) I have avoided writing on the forum !! durr !! and was messing my own head up good and proper. Then I read your post and eureka! of course I can make choices and be in control. thank you ,thank you ...

Up to you Daisy but I dont think anyone ever regrets taking some excercise. But take in easy as you are in abstinence- I do a toning class weekly but sometimes have to do the easy stuff with the "even more mature than me" ladies cos I get a bit knackered:)

Fantastic pics Emma, You really look fab. Ditto what Daisy says about your tum:) and a washboard stomach wouldnt make you smile so much as your beautiful children.

I had porridge this week- we rationed to 5 per week and I lost 4lb which is high for me.3.5 is still a good loss- I'd say if you enjoyed the porridge stick with it

my thoughts are with you and yours BL-its very sad when a loved "senior " gets poorly.

Daisy keep the faith :) and the bag! I have had 2 weeks when I have sts and some low losses- no idea why but it all works out in the end.

Please dont weigh yourself and dont get dispondant everyone is different but if you stick to the plan you will lose weight. Some people consistantly lose 4 or 5 lbs every week. I dont, I have stuck to the plan 100% but still had some weeks when I lost small amounts or nothing at all but overall...

Yep It really does work:) wait till your weigh in after 7 days! Well done

Great pics Daisy.I get kicks out of confusing people- someone at work had been giving me the funny looks and when they finally asked " have you lost weight" I replied that I hadn't but used to wear a fat suit under my baggy clothes- poor thing her face was a picture but she did see the funny side

Thanks BL

Size 12 that's brilliant! And it's not cheating it's "doing a Gok! " I wouldn't be without my "hold it all ins" lol

Ditto all of the above. I really find this site inspiring and its a great way to stay motivated. And for those times when you want time to pass quickly- it's great

:party0038: Well done Poppy. I know what you mean about size 10s seeming unobtainable but hearing your news means it can be an acheivable goal. Your looking fantastic btw:party0011:

H!! 25 years old is not very old- Ive got underwear older than that :D:D ( not really- chucked it out last week:eek:)

Nice one Daisy. These milestones are just great- I ordered a comic relief T-shirt a few weeks ago, large of course - it arrived yesterday and its too big! wahey:)

Hi Charlene, it will be fine. Starting LL is scary, exciting and one of the best things you can do for yourself. Stick with it and soon you will be advising and inspiring newbies:)

You know your little boy better than anyone so trust your instincts. My daughter is 21 now (so she survived my parenting lol) when she was little she would hardly eat a thing for several days at a time just saying that she wasnt hungry. Then she,d start eating normally again I think as long as...

Hi Emma, cant add much to the great advice already given but hang on in girl and you ramble as much as you like :hug99:

Hi Louale, I struggled with this myself for a while. I believed I didnt have any "issues" but through the groups I had a eureka moment at about week 7. Not some suppressed memory or anything but that for probably dozens of reasons I have some pretty negative core beliefs about myself, as well as...

FYM, cant really add to what has already been said other than I totally agree with everyone that you are in no way anything like a failure. Lots of hugs

Sansusk, you really do need to have 4 packs every day, having less will not lead to more weight loss and will mean that you are not getting the nutrition your body needs to function and stay healthy People often find it difficult at 1st, for today try having 2 same flavour packs together- only...

You really are not missing much 'cept a bit of a laugh. for the 1st 3 weeks I couldn't concentrate on them anyway cos I was trying to figure out who the female presenter was- she's the "interior designer" off DIY SOS. lol.

Anna, ditto all of the above, you look awesome, such an inspiration.

Hi, my GP didn't charge but some do. I'm lucky in that apart from being obese I don't have any health problems so it only took my gp a few minutes to fill in my form and take my BP . I guess if it had taken him longer he may have charged but thankfully he is very supportive. You have to pay 2...

Great rant Pete :) Do you get many calls asking where the "any" key is ?? lol

Lotsa hugs to you BL. Losing that safety net of abstinance is bound to be quite scary. But your posts show such insight and self awareness- you have the skills and knowledge to deal with the "scaries".:hug99:

Hi Rainbowcookie, I've been on LL for 3 and a bit weeks now so I'm no expert but I will try to answer some of your questions. Re :cravings, once you are in ketosis after a couple of days you don't actually feel hungry of course this doesn't stop you craving or feeling emotional hunger but the...

My LLC just e-mailed me, starting next week. Like some of you am nervous and excited. I have been looking through this forum and have been inspired by people's experiences ( and weight loss) Looking forward to getting to know you all better and inspiring each other :)

Hi Mandy, I posted my medical forms this morning so like yourself am now a "lady in waiting" I am already quite inspired by this forum, think I will be logging on frequently.
