Sorry to hear you are suffering. Just an idea - if you feel that LL could be contributing to the increase in pain, could you move to Lite where I imagine your fat intake would be higher. From what I've heard, the losses are comparable with those in abstinence. I hope the pain and discomfort...

Yay, glad you liked it! And glad I'm not the only one who does!

I fear I may be in the minority as I love it!

I love it - it's the only soup I have now! I always mix it into a paste with some cold water first, then add hot. With lots of black pepper (and tabasco if you like it) it's great. If you put boiling water straight into it, it does go a bit yukky though, hence the cold water first. Good luck...

Thanks for all your replies. A variety of experiences there then! I guess I really do have to go into RTM with the mindset that I will end RTM the same weight that I started it. A colleague of mine has done LL light and did really well. However, our LLC said that if we went straight from...

I know two people with type 2 diabetes that have done LL. One no longer has to take medication at all and the other has dramatically reduced her meds. LL should do wonders for your health :-)

That's brilliant news. Well done you!

Did you know that the Next summer sale starts on Saturday? I need a whole new holiday wardrobe, so am hoping for some bargains :-)

I know how you feel. I haven't lapsed or really been close, but am really struggling with the last few weeks of abstinence. Finding it increasingly hard and my desire to eat is at an all time high. Can't really offer advice on the best course of action for you, but I hope that you find a way...

Hi all I'm considering going into RTM within the next month, but would most likely be 7lbs over the weight I'd ideally like to be. I know there are no guarantees of weight loss, and I shouldn't go into RTM expecting to lose, but I'd be interested to know what effect RTM had on your weight...

Hello Have not posted for a while (actually, have never really posted very much at all!). Anyway, I've now lost over 6 stones, so happy with that. Hopefully just another couple of months of abstinence then I'll be able to move into RTM. For the past month or so my hair has been falling out...

Our LLC hasn't even mentioned it... I feel like I should do it for health reasons, as I'm likely to be on the programme for another 4 months (gulp!). But, I never drink milk, the thought of adding it to my packs makes me feel a bit queasy, and I don't drink tea or coffee so can't add it to that...

That's great news. You must be thrilled. And you get a week of leisure beforehand - perfect! It must be so empowering to realise you got through a stressful time without turning to old habits - well done!

Great news FYM, glad you're feeling happier today. x

Brilliant news - well done! You must be so chuffed!

Well done! Must be a good feeling. I can't wait until my Mii starts to slim down too!! Ha ha!

You're right - BL looks fab! What a glamorous pair you are!

Wow! You look amazing. I love your beige mini dress - it's so cute! And yes, you do have fab legs! The pink dress is gorgeous too.

What a great decision to have to make! Will you be looking to work immediately after finishing the course or will you have time/money for some fun first? I think if I knew I had to work straight away (and bearing in mind you said you wouldn't have much time outside of the course) I would do...

I'm in! Next Monday's weigh in will be my first (as today's has counted towards my V day target) and I'll use the Easter Monday WI as my last one to give me a full 8 weeks. Daisydoll - 20lbs DillyDee - 28lbs Emveg - 24lb Foxtrot - 20lbs FYM - 21lbs Groovychick -21lbs Louale - 21lbs MandyL -...

Good for you! I've never understood people who can't live without exercising, but am now realising that it is the way forward and will hopefully make it much easier to maintain when I finally get to goal.

Ooh, yay! Here's hoping my LLC has it by next Monday.

How exciting! Won't be long before those size 12 bottoms fit too!

Well done for getting to goal and overcoming the challenges. Enjoy RTM!

Well done! That's great news.

I was a major chocoholic, yet have been finding it really easy to resist and have not craved it at all. The things that tempt me are proper, healthy meals and like others have said, delicious fresh food. Yum! Am hoping this mentality continues once I start RTM.

Our LLC told us tonight it was due out in a couple of weeks... She said she'd tried a sample pack and found that it wasn't sweet enough for her. As others have said, sweeteners or water flavourings could be added to sweeten it a bit. I'm not a huge fan of porridge, but definitely going to try...

Wow - what a remarkable difference. You look stunning and must be so proud of what you have achieved in a year. Truly inspirational, thanks for posting the pics.

Well done on your weight loss in foundation - that's amazing. And you look absolutely fantastic! As others have said, you now look so much younger.

Hi I'm the largest in my group and to be honest it hasn't bothered me. It's only now you have mentioned it that it has occurred to me. Everyone is in the same boat and has the same issues - no one judges you. The person I am closest to only has 3 stone to lose so will no doubt move into RTM...

Oh, I so need to get my post count up so I can see everyone's photos! Sounds like you're doing amazingly well.

I agree with the others - ditch the scales for the time being. I took the decision to do so and am so glad. On previous diets I've got hung up on getting weighed all the time and it wasn't good for me. On LL, if you stick to the packs you will lose weight. Good luck!

Wow, that's amazing. You look like a different person! My husband has been doing LL for 2 weeks - he was the same starting weight as you and wants to get to around 15 stone, so pretty much the same. I've just shown him your pics for some much needed inspiration and motivation. Well done and...

Hi all Well I've been doing really well and after 2 weeks have lost an amazing 16lbs which I am really chuffed with. However, yesterday and today I have been feeling so ill. Yesterday I only managed half a bar - no shakes or soups as I really couldn't face them. So far today I've had one...

Ha ha, I'm just a tight Yorkshire lass! UD stuff is amazing, but I'd just feel ripped off having paid twice what I should. You have to let us know what you decide! And you'd better be quick if you want it in time for Christmas!!

Wow, an amazing difference in such a short space of time - well done!

I'll be abstaining. I've only been on LL for 2 weeks and really wanted to start before Christmas as I knew leaving it until the new year would mean that I would have put even more weight on before starting. We had a Christmas lunch in November before I started so I don't feel as if I've totally...

Ooh, urban decay eyeshadows are fab, and that set is huge. However, £50 is soooo much, particularly compared to the actual cost. I can understand your need (!) but could you wait until it comes back in stock somewhere and save yourself £25? Enough to buy other UD goodies...

Just had to share. Had my first weigh in tonight and I've lost 10lbs! :D I'm so happy! Found the first few days difficult, but since then it's been easier. I love LL!!!!

Woohoo! I had my pop in last night and had lost 7lbs!!! Gave me such a boost after a day of feeling headachey and nauseous. Am starting to get used to the shakes and soups a bit more now - I like tomato, chicken and vegetable soups and the banana and vanilla shakes. Had a peanut bar for brekkie...

Thanks for all your positive comments :) On day 2 now and still trying to get used to the shakes and soups. Had tomato soup for tea though and that was the best yet! I know that the first 3 days can be the hardest, so I'm looking forward to next week when my body has got used to Lighter Life...

Hi Sarey How are you getting on? I'm on day two. Struggling a bit with the taste of some of the shakes and soups, but I'm sure it's just a question of my taste buds readjusting. Not been tempted by any food yet, which is great! Got my pop-in tomorrow night, so here's hoping for a loss to keep...

Hello, are there any December starters out there?! I didn't want to wait until after Christmas, so am starting this week. Am excited but apprehensive about it! Have read a few posts and have been motivated by the successes I've seen - here's hoping I'll be reporting my own losses within the next...
