    Need to find my will power!

    I have no will power, I started cwp on step 3 on 30th January, then after a few weeks step 2 and I've lost nearly 4 stone, its been hard, some weeks I've binged, but tried to control them, I've had weeks where I've lost 1lb I've even had a week where lost nothing even though I thought I'd done...

    So I am back again!

    I'm so annoyed with myself, ate a dozen cocktail sausages last night, its habit, sat working on some reports and I've always filled my face through sheer boredom, but on far worse food. Won't be doing that again in a hurry, hopefully won't of affected me too much :'(

    Stayed the same, not happy. First day of ss and I'm starving LOL only doing it for 2 weeks for now, just see how it goes, I would normally of only had 2 packs by now, but thinking about it I have been snacking on protein rubbish until today, probably not helped. I will have a good loss this...
  123. Melaniep

    On my own on not liking the mango?!

    I was hoping it would be nice, haven't got much hope now though, like you choc mint, choch tetras and choc mint bars is all I have :( Think I'll still give 1 a go
  124. Melaniep

    My progress: 2 weeks holiday = 4 weeks dieting with STILL 7lbs to go!! :-(

    Just been out to dinner, even though I only had chicken, some was spicy and had a bit of bbq, but no carbs, hope it doesn't affect me too much. Had a great catchup with my aunty and uncle and 2 little cousins, loved every second of it

    Starting again tomorrow

    I love them, by far the best bar on any vlcd
  129. Melaniep

    weighloss countdown to holiday October 2012

    If I do ss, I need 4 packs because of my height, the saving on buying 4 weeks in bulk is £80, that's a lot of money
  130. Melaniep

    weighloss countdown to holiday October 2012

    I hadn't either, but read a few posts on here and checked it out, its like cwp, but just the packs, doesn't look like any support, but a lot cheaper, thought I'd give it a go, try the packs its an option for future
  131. Melaniep

    weighloss countdown to holiday October 2012

    Weighed this morning and I've lost 2lb, I've been naughty and ordered samples from slim and save, I shouldn't, but their bars look like heaven, I will be sticking with cwp, but want to ss and I'm 3st too heavy at moment

    No better incentive than having to wear a swimsuit in public LOL. I haven't worn one in nearly a year, braving it in a few weeks as promised I'll go in half term holidays, not looking forward to it, to be honest I probably won't like it at a size 12 either, I'm currently 20-22 and dreading it

    Thanks, I need to remember all the things I used to do on Cambridge to get through the tough days. Up until now I've just given in, I don't have that luxury, I need to lose the weight, not just for my holiday, but that is my motivation at the moment

    weighloss countdown to holiday October 2012

    I've started the diet a few times, but never finished it, this time I am going to finish it. Lost 8 stone and put 9 back on, so peed off with myself for doing it, but this is the last time, I'm never putting it back on again. 3 1/2 stone gone 9 - 9 1/2 left to go

    weighloss countdown to holiday October 2012

    It seems a long way off, but only 24 weeks to lose 9 stone, equates to just over 5lb a week. I probably won't lose it all by then, but will do all I can to shift this weight once and for all. As much as I can by 24th October when I fly out to menorca, every pound counts and no more time to...

    Struggled yesterday, had a packet of cocktail sausages, why do I do it? Was tired and had no energy last night, ended up having a fork full of stuffing with my chicken, did think about it before I ate it so it was a conscious decision and tasted great, now worried it will affect my diet this week :(
  161. Melaniep

    I love step 2, I have 3 packs a day, plus chicken and veg for ky tea, makes socialising easier, step 3 will put you out of ketosis as it includes carbs.

  168. Melaniep

    Epic fail help

    Agree with beckboo, you can't beat yourself up, if you can't be 100% at the moment a break maybe a good idea, otherwise you may just feel worse. No one would blame you for taking a break for a while, its hard dealing with emotions as it is without the added pressure of this diet. Take care x
  169. Melaniep

    Sticking to the plan

    Did you go back onto the diet after your day of eating? You should be in ketosis tomorrow if not already. You might find all the weight will go at once, keep at it you will get there

    Sticking to the plan

    I have been debating the ketostix thing for a couple of weeks, not sure if I'm going to or not. I'm doing ok, lost 4lb this week and it wasn't my best week, just taking every day as it comes

    I need to lose another 11 stone, already lost just over 1. It will take most of this year, but I'm prepared for that. You need to do it now, I first tried 2005 and messed about with it for years, took 2 years off any vlcd and now ready for it.

    It's been a long 4 weeks, struggled with body and mind, so decided 810 is the way forward, at least comfort of ketosis. Lost a total of 1st 3lb, which is great, but I know I could have done better if I'd stuck to it even 90%. Here's hoping to a big number next Monday

    Hi DIR Yesterday went ok and I am in ketosis, but today I just wanna eat everything, I wont say what I am craving, but it's not good, I've had something to eat which started the craving, so on here so I don't eat anymore. I think the trigger was swimming, I'm always really hungry after...

    Hi DIR I haven't been on for a few days, pop on today and find you have decided to stick with it, well done on that decision, it must have been a tough one, reading your posts you seem happier and more relaxed, so as you and others have said take a day at a time. Mel :D

    Hi Yoyo, LL and TOTM is never a good combination, that's why the chocolate packs are great for me, otherwise I'd crack not having any. Good luck for tomorrow, hope it's a good one Mel
  220. Melaniep

    Hi Alex I used to get excited about mine too, seeing the numbers on the scales going down and seeing everyone and how they've got on. Good luck for tomorrow Mel

    This time is different...Day 7

    Hey what happened?? I just replied to your post on my thread and just popped onto yours for a catch-up and see you have decided not to continue with LL. Are you sure this is what you want to do?? Or are the foodie demons winning?? I totally understand them and I'm sure I'll have to face up to my...

    I'm doing LL for the 2nd and last time

    Well done on getting through day 1, you are nearly through day 2, soone it will be week 1 and the first weighin. My first day is this friday, so if I get any side-affects they should hit me over the weekend, really beginning to look forward to it. Someone on Minimins said about a clean feeling...

    Starting tomorrow - 1st September

    Hi yoyo, How's it going?? Ahh the cold I am not looking forward to that, but then maybe I wont sweat so much LOL. Hope everything is ok and you are fully into ketosis and week 1 weighin is a good one Mel :talk017:
  224. Melaniep

    I'm doing LL for the 2nd and last time

    Hi Mel P I am 100% doing RTM this time, I don't think I stood a chance keeping the weight off not doing it before, at least I will stand a good chance of keeping the slim figure I intend to get on LL. There are so many triggers for me happy, sad, stressed to name a few. Let me know how you...

    I'm doing LL for the 2nd and last time

    Hi dancing-in-the-rain, thanks for your message, it's a great idea, I could try with my milkshake and a sandwich (can't stand any type of soup :(). Agree with the hope thing, I am hoping I'm still going to like the foodpacks and that the diet will work again, well I know it's me that makes the...

  228. Melaniep

    Starting tomorrow - 1st September

    Hi Yo Yo, Fingers crossed you are in ketosis, do you have any of the wee sticks?? I used to get them from the chemist, did become addictive though LOL Not looking forward to the dog breath, yuk!! But I am looking forward to not feeling hungry and food not being the centre of my world.
  229. Melaniep

    Hey everyone....I'm going on LL again!!

    Hi Twinny I am restarting too, the LLC I contacted told me as I have been on LL before I don't need my doctor to sign another form as long as there have been no changes to my health and I need to complete a form when I go next week confirming that. Good luck Mel
  230. Melaniep

    I'm doing LL for the 2nd and last time

    Thanks Mumbles, you are right if you are unhappy with with your weight it feels the same regardless of the numbers. Good luck and hope you get there soon Mel :)

    I'm doing LL for the 2nd and last time

    Hi All I have my first LL meeting on the 10th September, it's a new LLC, I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. I first did LL November 2004 and lost 5 stone in the 100 days, it was the most amazing diet I have ever done, it was the old style and when they changed it I decided to leave...
  232. Melaniep

    I can't beleive I'm back

    I'm thinking of doing LL again

    Hi Yo Yo, How was camping?? I spent the long bank holiday in a Caravan, there were 8 of us, 4 ladies and 4 girls with 1 bathroom!!! it wasn't too bad though. I'm counting the days down before I start, on Monday i'm going to start cutting the carbs down so the withdrawal wont be too bad!!! Mel
  236. Melaniep

    Smashed it 3 stone down

    Hi Kenshin I haven't spoken to you before, but just wanted to say well done, it is amazing and making me even more determined to get started and do this Mel
  237. Melaniep

    I'm thinking of doing LL again

    Hi Yo Yo It's nice hearing from you, definately keep each other going, this diet is tough so having someone who is going though the same as you is great support, there is far too much negativity about, one reason I am not telling anyone from work and hopefully get and give help and motivation on...
  238. Melaniep

    Feelin pretty rubbish

    Hi Yo Yo I'm re-starting too, I didn't do RTM either, loads of people have told me that you have to finish it otherwise the chance of putting the weight back on. Good luck Mel :)
  239. Melaniep

    I'm thinking of doing LL again

    Yay, I've spoken to an LLC and I start on the 10th, could of started next week, but she's going on a course. I'm so happy!!!! I am impatient, because when I want to do something I want to do it now. with WW and SW I worked so hard and lost so little in comparison I got disheartened and in the...

    Help - new to this

    Hi Linz, Just read your thread, if I'm right you started today? How's it going?? I did CD for a while too and the therapy is the reason I am back with LL as I felt it gives you more. Good luck Mel :)
  241. Melaniep

    I'm thinking of doing LL again

    Thanks ladies, you all look amazing and have made me feel a lot better at giving it another go. I know it works and most of it is down to me keeping motivated and focused, my reason for usuing this diet is the speed of weight loss, it's so quick and I'm impatient if I don't lose every week I...
  242. Melaniep

    I'm thinking of doing LL again

    Hi All I started LL November 2004 and lost 5 stone in 3 months then carried on between LL and CD for another 3 months and lost a total of 8 stone. I gave up mainly due to money and other things going on in my life and I have now put it all back on plus I think another stone, one thing I promised...

    I have to do it this time - New CD Diary

    Hi Ladies Well I had an awful 2 week's on CD and it's the final straw, at the moment I cannot do this diet, I don't have the willpower to get into Ketosis and stick with it. I'm taking a break try healthy eating and exercise. It was a hard decision to make and it feels like someone has taken...
  245. Melaniep

    Oh dear...Ive been bad

    It shouldn't affect you too much, some people can be sensative to them e.g. gives them the runs. Just make sure you have an extra glass of water, as the vitamins and minerals are more concentrated. Also if you easily come out of ketosis it could affect that too. I wouldn't worry too much, but...
  246. Melaniep

    How Long...

    It depends on the person, I lost 8st between LL & CD, still felt fat and had another 4st to go, I put nearly all of the 8st back on, looked at a photo of me at my smallest and realised what I'd done. Believe people when they say you are looking slimmer and give your head anough time to catch...
  247. Melaniep

    I've been thinking about......

    I know what you mean, they should ban food ad's. It's usually the M&S ones that get me.

    I have to do it this time - New CD Diary

    Thanks ladies I'm glad my head is back in a place where I can get on with CD and get back on here, the last 6/7 weeks have been a nightmare, but I am determined to get the rest of the weight off, back up to 20st 13lb and I don't see my CDC until the 4th June, so hoping most of the 13lb will be...
  249. Melaniep

    I have to do it this time - New CD Diary

    Hi All I am back again and this time I have to finish it regardless of what's going on in my life. I want to be slim!!!!!
