    I can do something amaaaaazing

    Today I had a little fashion show, tried all my size 14s and even 12s. Happy to report that I can do up some 12 skirts, they are tight but the main thing is that they all zip up. Tops are a different story though as my upper arms are still quite big. That is my next goal, to be able to wear size...

    Oh poo:(((((

    Well done on getting back in saddle Sadsam26! Just think: one bad day in 3 weeks worth of good ones, that is excellent going. If you weren't on the diet it might be one good day in 3 weeks of overeating.

    Hope they're right!

    Those scales sound good, wish I had them too! But then I might risk being on them twice a day, every day. I am having hard enough time trying to stop weighing myself daily (and failing). Umphhhhh

    Lost it!

    Oh thanks Susan70, I didn't know that, I will keep it in mind when I get those hunger pangs. Do I do that for a day, or can I be on it for a while? How does the weight go down (slower than on SS)? Congrats on loosing 80lb and (soon, very soon) reaching your goal!

    Well, I would like to be slimmer for xmas as we are visiting friends and family that I haven't seen in a while. Apart from that, I would like to loose 3 stones for summer (plenty of time for that :-) ). But main reason I would like to be slimmer is to get back into my clothes. You see, last year...

    Lost it!

    Dieting rambler - that is really good idea, I will try that. As far as SS + is concerned, i find that the small meal you are allowed to have keeps the hunger alive (like some alien lurking in the background), so decided against it. I might have to rethink this, it is just that I am trying to...

    Hey Smiley Cat! Thanks so much for such great (and speedy) reply.

    As the title says, I have lost it. I have been doing SS for 6 days, felt hungry all the time (awful weather doesn't help as I am indoors all the time), drunk all my water, spent hours here on the forum etc etc. I still had a moment when I went to the kitchen and ate, like a robot. Day after I...

    Considering starting LL - some questions

    I was scared in the beginning that once I start eating it will come back as fast as it came off, but that wasn't the case at all. I would still weigh myself every other day so I had a clear picture of where I stand. What I should have done is gone through the steps, but I didn't. I followed...

    Considering starting LL - some questions

    Hallo there and well done on deciding to take this step to loose weight. Well, I have lost almost 4st with Lighter Life last year, it took about 3 months. My husband was also very sceptic about it (as was I!) as it seemed very unnatural way to loose weight. But (!) I was so desperate to shed...

    getting out of ketosis

    Thanks for replies. I only licked the spoon although what I really wanted to do is stick my face in green spinach and polenta mash and eat it like a hog would, grunting and all hahahaa I do have some ketostix but they have been opened for more than 6mths so I am not sure they are accurate any more.

    xmas vs summer

    It surprises me how many people are more concerned about loosing weight for xmas than there are for summer. Am I missing something? Xmas time is cold, so you will be well covered up. In summer there is no hiding, you're hot and feeling like a whale, all flab exposed. Shed some light on it for...

    So I admit it

    Of course you will get back on the wagon! I have also started SS, then lost it, was messing about for almost a month, one day doing SS next eating nutella with a spoon... What surprised me is that I haven't gained more (just 4lb with a month of massive overeating). So things might not be as bad...

    Hi! I know EXACTLY how you feel about CD and pregnancy! I have lost 4 stones with CD, then about a stone away from my ideal weight I discovered I was pregnant. I spoke to GP, midwife and surfed the net for info on how to proceed. All sources said the same: stop using CD while pregnant. I also...

    Could anyone shed some light on this please: I did CD a year and a half ago and am now doing it again. It seems that all sachets are lactose free now (apart from chocolate). I am no longer sure if that was the case last time I was on CD? Is it still possible to get normal sachets rather than...
