    Slinks back in with tail between legs

    Boy, it is so good to see familiar faces here! Well, I have been debating whether to get back into abstinence... I have put on weight after my holiday in Jamaica last January and then sick leave for six weeks after surgery in February. Until last weekend, I had been inactive for three...

    Yeah, I'd guessed that a new issue would be out after Xmas. Because I saw one after new year's day which inspired me to sign up with LL! Thanks for that, I will look forward to reading it on my flight to Jamaica!

    Food packs

    Eww! He has eaten an old person's foot before?! How did he know anyway? LOL! Anyway, I completed my RtM last September so I wouldn't know how good the new bars are. It was only when I reached management that I had bars for the first time since starting LL. The reason was cos I was worried...

    Yep, I found out about this only recently! I am hypothyriod so I eat brazil nuts everyday. So important! I am glad that I love eating them on their own. They are high in calories (good fats) and I also love cashews - so hard to resist. I worry that I put on weight cos of the nuts...

    Reluctantly leaving LL...

    Oh man, I am sorry to hear that. Money problems stinks! I know how you feel. I hope that things improve for you soon. I don't know much about South Beach diet, will have to check it out. I think buying low GI food might be a good idea to start with? Good luck!

    How the bloody hell do I pump the exercise ball up!

    I know...this is so funny! I have finished the route to management and I have yet to blow my exercise ball! I just didn't bother to do that, simply because I do not have much room for it especially with a 2 yr old toddler who loves playing with her ball! So my LL ball is left unopened!

    Diastasis Recti

    Wow, thanks a lot Karen for the report! Sorry for my late reply! It is very encouraging to hear the operation was a great success for your sister. What was the recovery like? I know it is different for everyone but I am just curious! Did she have more children after this? I would like to...

    Diastasis Recti

    I am glad I am not alone here! No, I don't think it is too late to mention it to your doctor. I have just bought the book "Lose Your Mummy Tummy" which is written for Moms of any age no matter when you had a baby (so reassuring!) and I read that the widening of the outer abdominal muscles...

    Diastasis Recti

    Oh my gosh, I am so glad you replied! You definitely have diastasis recti. The "loaf shape" or ridge as it is called is one of the signs of this condition! My GP looked for this while doing tests on my stomach. Once he saw the ridge in the middle lengthways - he confirmed that I have DR - that...

Separation occurs in response the force of the uterus pushing...

    Bars!

    I didn't have any bars until I was a few weeks into management when I went on a holiday. I needed a few bars for convenience and I was glad! I had both nut crunch and lemon bars. Now, I couldn't stop having nut crunch as I quite like them. I am not keen on lemon bars and I don't want to...

    Oh my gosh! I would react the same as you. What she said was so hurtful, even if she didn't mean it. I really think that what she has heard on the radio was bollocks! She just didn't think before saying "I really shouldn't be with you....."!!!! I hope that she realises what she had...

    I think you did really well, considering that you have a period! You gained very little weight - not even a pound! I lost only 0.6lbs which didn't surprise me. I had a "big" salad with prawns and beansprouts for lunch plus a yoghurt. Then I had my WI three hours later! The scales might show...

    I'm new!

    Maz, Just make sure that you don't drink any water 2-3 hours before weigh-in. I think I read somewhere here that a litre of water weighs 2lbs. Someone will correct me if I am wrong. Good luck for tonight! :)

    Fat/Sugar Free V Full Fat Sugar

    Very interesting, indeed! I intend to switch to semi-skimmed milk and sugar once I am finished with management. I was on semi skimmed milk for a long time anyway, even before I started LL and I will definitely use less sugar in my tea/cereal this time. I will continue cooking our family meals...

    Question about Danone Activia yoghurts

    Thanks for replying! I was thinking the 125 g pot has less sugar than the 10 g sugar per 100g. Next time I go to the supermarket, I will look for 0% fat and no sugar yoghurt and give the rest of Danone Activia to my DH! I just hope that I won't put on weight next week! :(

    I need to ask you a question! I am in the 2nd week of management when we can have yoghurts, I was looking forward to it. I had my Tesco groceries delivered the other night and I had my first yoghurt last night - Danone Activia Forest Fruits 0% fat 4 X 125g. It was very nice but it was rather...

    Maintenance Book

    I have the management book. It is of the same thickness as the foundation book but in A4 size. I also noticed that it is made just like the Foundation book - i.e. the pages might fall out easily if you spread it open for photocopying. My foundation book is falling apart, and all I did...

    Boob measuring this lucnhtime

    I was tempted to go to Bravissimo today but I'll wait till later this week. I haven't had myself measured since pregnancy (by M&S), so I am looking forward to it! I have received the new brochure and I agree that their bras are FAB!!!! Can't wait!

    Wow I was a good girl!

    Wow! You did awesome! I too adore Pizza Hut, it would be hard to watch someone eating their pizzas! I have had to throw out all menus from PH! Very well done!!

    Now I am really really cross

    I agree with the ladies here. Pure Jealousy! I can understand how you feel! Someone at work was complimentary about my weight loss at first. She has been trying to lose a bit of weight. Suddenly, she got quite cyncial, saying I was losing so much weight that I will disappear! She behaved as...

    Cheese and Crackers!!!!

    Oh FP, I really feel for you. It just shows your LLC's lack of concern towards your situation. I would be so angry with her. I agree with Hiddenfishcake. Contact LL HO and tell them of your difficult situation. Once LLC knows you have contacted the HO, she will have to change her...

    Me too!!! I really enjoy cooking dinners (and even making sandwiches) for my family! My husband must have felt like he was in food heaven with what I cooked for him. He still feels a bit guilty because I could not have any of the meals - especially the dishes I had never tried before! lol...

  145. cheerydino

    Small dilemma...

    I agree with Karion. Why would you want to jeopardise your amazing loss just to please people? Is it worth it? I am glad you made a decision to do what YOU want and have a fantastic time! ;)

    It's funny you should mention it because it was only last weekend when I really noticed a difference. I have been on LL for nearly 14 weeks but I didn't notice the difference till now. I had problems since giving birth two years ago but now.... wow!!! What an improvement!!! I am well pleased!

    Hi there! The green foundation book and the bag will be given after the first week. As for Coke Zero - it was mentioned in Cambridge Diet forum but it is not allowed in LL. Water flavourings are good enough for me! Good luck with your first week - keep coming for support!! This site...

    What do most people lose per week?

    Exactly, Cath! I also forgot to mention that I've lost the most in my group as well. I didn't realise until my LLC told the group last Sunday that I lost 4 stones! The ladies in the group don't tell each other how much they have lost!
  183. cheerydino

    What do most people lose per week?

    Hi fatpossum, Welcome to Minimins! Well, I wouldn't compare myself to other people because everyone is different. I don't know how much you have to lose but apparently, the larger you are, the bigger loss in the first week. I too am hypothyroid for a few years now and am on 100g of...

    Wow...! Does it mean I can have milk in my Tetley tea with sweeteners? :D I must admit I am glad that we can have a bit of milk added but 2 LITRES?! Do we have to drink 4 litres of water in addition to any milk that is left from mixing shakes (....and soups, bleurgh!) I am worried that...

    Moving to Weight Watchers after LL.... (?)

    Well, I will see where I am during management when we go on a holiday in mid-July. I have 2 stones to go now. I will decide when I get there but to be honest, I would like to stay with LL until the end of management. But IF I decide to leave LL before I completed management, I would try food...

    MANAGEMENT WORRIES

    From what I saw on my LLC's noticeboard in her office, during the first two weeks of management, 3 foodpacks plus some protein, then 2 foodpacks for the next 6 weeks. For the final 4 weeks, you would be down to just one foodpack. Total weeks = 12 weeks. I can't remember how much it cost when the...

    How did you find out about LighterLife?

    Just out of curiosity, how did you find out about LL? I saw an advert for LL in this week's Reveal. I realised that it was the first time I saw their advertisement in a magazine. I had never heard of LL (or VCLD) when I saw a LL magazine at a major supermarket at the new year. I was...

  205. cheerydino

    How much did you lose in foundation?

    Yes, I was 5 stones overweight. I knew before I started LL that losing more than 3 stones in 100 days was possible because my colleague's sister lost 4 stones in 2 months with LL! She went on to management before the end of Foundation.
  206. cheerydino

    How much did you lose in foundation?

    I'm week 9 and I lost 3 stones at week 8. I have 5 weeks left with 2 stones to lose! Donna x

    Same here! My GP didn't charge me either. He was happy to do my medical and monthly check as he believes LL does work. I have another monthy check-up next week, this time with with our nurse.

    Is it realistic... (and a confession)

    Hi Wannabslim! I have another 41lbs to lose and the end of 100 days is in early May but I should hope to reach my target weight by the end of May! So I really think that your goal is do-able if you stick to SS 100% ;) Good luck!!
