Awww thanks Sue, you've cheered me up a bit already! *hugs*

Well done! You must be over the moon with that :D Keep it up!

Evening girlies :p Had my weigh in tonight. I lost 4.5lbs. I'm not sure whether to be happy about it or a bit gutted. After I'd been weighed a lady in my class asked how I'd done and I told her, and she said ''ohhh I expected you to lose at least 10lb or something. It kind of made me feel...

~Hi all Firstly, well done Jez on your loss this week. Thats fantastic! Only 1lb away from a stone!!! :D You must be over the moon! Don't be disheartened that you didn't lose 10lb or anything like others have. The way I see it is the ones that lose slightly more in the first week or two...

I find it very hard to finish them all. This week I've had 3 a day quite alot.

Hi pancras :) How have you been finding being on LL ? Easy or the odd wobble ever?

Good luck for tomorrow Jez. I get as excited hearing how much everyone else has lost as I do with myself haha.

Good luck slimseaa. I look forward to hearing how your weigh in goes tomorrow :D

And we're allowed 2 cups of this marigold a day? If so I'm quite excited at this prospect haha

Haha I must have done :eek:

My LL leader put a savory drink packet in my bag on my first week ''to try''. Can someone tell me if that counts as one of your 4 foodpacks if you have it? If not, is there a limit to how many you can have in a day? Does it slow your weight loss down a bit if you have them as an...

phew, thanks daisy!! I was so close to having some as I could have sworn blind I'd seen someone say you could have it.

wanting to put some in my porridge, so hoping someone will be able to stop me really fast right now before I do it if I'm not allowed lol

I would imagine that by freezing it, it stops the stuff in the foodpacks from breaking down as they do normally in 15 mins.

The ones I find I'm saying the most to myself to spur me on and not give in are ''Drink to shrink'' and ''Nothing tastes as good as being skinny will feel''

I don't think it really matters too much if you miss just one. Leave it as a spare :)

I think you can mix the chicken soup into a paste and spread it in little circles on a baking tray and bake them in the oven for a short time and they come out a bit like crisps/poppadoms

It's just strange, because last week when I started LL I was starving"!!! Now, the last 2 days I just don't want to eat at all. There's been no hunger and I could have happily just had one shake and thats it....I had to make myself have the second one.

How much of an effect does not having all the foodpacks have on weight loss? I know the leader drums it in that you MUST have all 4 everyday. But yesterday I only had 2 shakes all day, and today I've had a shake and a bar - thats it. Will these 2 days make much difference out of a weeks...

Thanks for replying....I'm glad you're up!! We're probably the only ones on here haha. I'm a bit of an insomniac unfortuanately. Sorry to hear you're working - thats crap eh lol

Can you drink unlimited black coffee each day???

Its nice to see you making lots of threads. It seems to be fairly quiet on here, so keep making them! :)

The reason you can only have 4 shakes/soups in the first 3 days is because its lower calories than adding a bar into the mix. So it puts you into ketosis a bit faster. Thats the reasoning behind no bars for the first 3 days I think.

I'm unfortunate in that I literally cant stomach any of the shakes except banana ....and thats starting to make me wretch everytime I have to drink it :( I cant stomach any of the soups either. I don't mind the porridge though, so next week I'll probably have porridge, porridge, porridge...

Crikey, thats immense in just 3 days! Well done you! Are you still starving??

Thankyou foxtrot, that was an informative read :) Also thankyou Susianna. It seems madness that we're so conscious of our weight, so we lose it all and then replace that with being conscious of the loose skin and stretch marks :sigh: Oh well, I have a longggg way to go before I can...

Ugh, ignore my previous post if you saw it before I edited.....I'm going blind when I read I think lol You can start the bars on day 4.....and yes, one per day :)

I have such a long way to go on LL, but I like to think ahead and I'm concerned about the amount of excess skin I'm going to be left with. Have any of you thats already lost loads been left with lots of saggy skin or does it just mostly shrink away? :confused:

Thanks Irene, I shall have a read of it now :worthy:

Hi :) I've just made myself a weight tracker thingy like everyone else has on here, but for some reason I can't seem to add it on here. I've gone into control panel, and edit signature....I've pasted the url but it just says 'invalid file' every time. Am I doing something wrong? :confused:

Hi all Hope today is going alright for you, and no one is struggling :) Becks, I'm hoping thats what my leader is doing because I do feel a little like the odd one out with the rest of my group. They all know each other, they've all lost the majority of their weight, so I'm the only big...

Yes I asked the leader and she said there were no spaces in any beginners classes. I have the feeling I'm going to be missing out on all the stuff I should be learning :(

I'm strangely not in a group with total beginners such as myself. Everyone in my group has been on LL for about 14 weeks so are already looking fairly slim :( lol I want to lose about 10 stone ....what about you?

What brilliant pictures - well done! Very inspirational to the rest of us. I love looking at before and after pics

Hi all *waves* Welcome to Mr Kreosote :wavey: I had my first weigh in last night. Lost a stone! :greenapple: So happy with that! The meeting was a bit of a disappointment though, the leader was so busy with random people from other classes coming in wanting to change foodpacks, that we...

It's amazing how kind words and encouragement from people on here can work wonders. You've all really helped me so much. Blonde Logic, I've seen some of your pictures on here in the past when I was browsing - long before I actually joined LL and you truly are an inspiration.

I can't thank you all enough for the encouraging words. I've got back on track today and been good, and after reading all your posts I feel much happier. Haven't felt tooooo hungry either woooo! So I need to get my post count up before I can view peoples pictures? Edit: Just want to...

Thankyou both very much for replying to me. Daisy they were some brilliant, motivating tips - I appreciate it very much.

Hi all I started LL 5 days ago and I could really do with some advice from anyone that has been doing it a while. I've been struggling since the word go. I was so excited about starting and really felt in the mindset to do this. Yet the minute I started it, I haven't been able to stop...

Thanks for replying Jezebella. I like the quote ''nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'' . I shall be saying this to myself repeatedly from now on. :)

I've done something bad today :cry: I've only been on LL for 4 days, and I've found it a real struggle so far. Everytime I cook the kids their food, I'm just dying for a taste of it. I'd been good, but then today I took the kids to mcdonalds. Big mistake!! I didn't order myself anything...

Where do you all get those ticker tape thingys from? Edit: Ignore me, I've just seen lol

Hi all Today is my second day on the LL diet. I'm not sure that I'm coping very well with it as I'm starving, and constantly having to talk myself out of reaching for the food cupboard. Has anyone else just started and finding it a struggle? :confused:

I know all too well how you're feeling. I started in October and have only lost 20lbs. My mum was diagnosed with cancer last month and was since rushed into hospital. She's really sick and I'm having to spend everyday looking after her now, which has put a strain on my diet. I completely gave up...

Thanks Bekimo :) I guess I should have known really that I was doing bad rather than good, as I wasn't drinking much either. I had only a litre of water a day, sometimes less. I'm determined now to try and drink about 3 litres, even if it kills me lol

I haven't cheated yet I feel like saying 'sod it' and eating a big fat bar of chocolate :mad: I had my weigh in this morning, and I've put on half a pound. I've eaten virtually nothing all week. Two days in a row I only had one bar...all day...nothing else. Now I know its bad to not eat all...

Hi everyone, I rudely didn't introduce myself the other day when I randomly posted in here. So I shall start again lol. I've been doing LL for 3 and a bit weeks now. Have lost 1 stone and 6lbs so far. Which I'm dead pleased about!! Hope to get to know you all in the coming weeks/months :)...

Hi Saz Very sorry to hear about your little girl. Must be tough on you. I'm new to this board too, joined last night. No one has spoken to me as yet lol, but I didn't introduce myself like you did, so probably why. Hehe Come join the October thread!

I can't stomach any of the shakes or soups. Just the smell of them makes me feel sick. But I just had the tomato soup for the first time tonight, I was expecting it to taste like Heinz tomato, but it didn't lol. I really liked it though. Yay, at last I've found something I don't mind :bliss:

Hi everyone :) I'm just starting my 4th week. Can't stand any of the soups or shakes which kind of makes it harder lol Anyone else finding them horrible???
