Hi everyone, as some of you may know. I'm really strting to struggle. I've been abstinent since jan and it's now making me miserable. I 've weighed up the pros and cons of finishing properly and continuing onto rtm and finishing early and starting something else. The low GI diet really appeals...

thanks for your replies, I've decided to stcik it out and start rtm when I said I would. Just got to learn to put the brakes on! Keep going everyone, i've found shopping a brill diversion from eating, just need to win the lottery now! Off to a family bbq in a bit so wish me well! x

Arrrgghhh! I've got 2 weeks left before i start RTM and I've had enough! I'm starting to pick a little bit, I'm not eating anywhere near large quantities but am having a bite here and there of things that my partners eating.:break_diet: I've done it about 3 times this week and even though I...

Thanks everyone for your support, it's a horrible feeling isn't it. I thought i was completely in control of this weight loss but now my body is starting to rebel! Good luck everyone for this week, keep going x

Thanks Daisy and congrats on your festival target, you look like you had tonnes of fun at oasis, my boyfriend loved your target! One of mine is for my boyfriend to carry me over the threshold after we get married in August! Just hope that the weight sorts itself out and goes in the right...

:confused::cry:Hi all, can't quite believe it. I've been weighed 1 night early because I can't make tomorrows meeting and I've put 1.5 lbs on. I have (and always have been) a complete angel, not time of the month, have drank approx 3.5 liters of water but this is normal. What's going on???????

OMG! I thought it was just me! When i saw my 'befores' i asked friends and family why they never told me i was so fat, i hadn't ever 'seen' myself like that, they said that they hadn't either and it was only now that they could see what i looked like. I'm like daisy, i was thought i looked ok...

Thanks guys, great advice. Think I will push for that extra half a stone. I've cut out bars and am just on 4 shakes a day so this may help. Thanks again, you are all my gurus!

It always seems to go off the bit you want most last of all! I am pear shaped and lost most of my weight at the beginning from my stomach when really I wanted it off my legs and bum. I'm 1/2 lb off 6 stone now and have noticed that my legs and bum are now shrinking but it took a while! Hang on...

Hi Guys, i was just wondering if I could pick the brains of those that have done RTM? When I start RTM will I continue to lose weight? My goal weight is 13st 7lb by August 6th by which time I will be going on my honeymoon so want to be back on food. Should I stop at 14st (should be in about 3...

Believe it or not I've woken up on more thank one occasion chewing invisible food with my hand coming up to my mouth as if I was about to take a bite of something! Yesterday I dreamt that I was eating dry flour! Sounds weird but in the dream i was eating it as though it tasted nice!

Hi girls, thanks so much for the advice. I didn't do milk week and considered doing it this week but I have to eat next monday (wedding menu sampling to choose the food) so I thought I could hold out until then as I don't want to do both, I have lapsed once during the programme and thought that...

:wave_cry:Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone could offer some advice? i went to a dog show today (had eaten 1 milkshake and 1 nut bar) I had drank plenty of water. I stood up to walk to a marquee and had a funny turn. I couldn't see (like a headrush) for quite a few seconds and my body...

It!

Hi, I'm on the mini pill and started a period in week 2 of ll when I'm not supposed to have them at all. This period was continuous until about week17! It wasn't heavy but still a pain in the a*#$! Apparantly, it can happen because your fat cells contain estrogen and if they are reducing...

Thanks Daisy, I think I do need to see those numbers lower! I'll keep slogging on then!

Hi everyone, hope you're all still motoring! Just a quick question, is it true that when your glycogen stores fill back up that you'll gain approx 7lb? I'm due to start RTM on July 1st and by then I should be 14stone. I'm concerend that as I do RTM and my glycogen stores refill that I'll end...

You really don't need the lace, you look fab. Go girl!

Oh my god! Only £255! I feel gutted rather than proud! Is that wrong!

:wave_cry:Hi everyone, just thought I'd have a bit of a 'get it off my chest' moment. I'm sat here in tears, it's week 15 and i've got another 9 to go. It's just starting to get too hard. I really want something to eat and just can't distract myself. I haven't broken the diet yet but another...

Sorry, had to go back for another look! You also look about 15 years younger!

OH. MY. GOD! You look sooooo different now, I agree with the others, you look confident and fun in the first pic but in the second you look like a model! Well done, you're an inspiration x

Hi everyone! just got back from my meeting and had lost 3.5lbs, even though I'm happy with this I'm used to losing between 4.5 and 5.5. Do you think it could be the porridge? i've had 1 a day this week and was just wondering if anyone else had slowed down too? I'm going to still have them...

Hi Daisy, try them with sparkling water instead of still, i really enjoy that x

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not we can add cinammon or other spices to our packs? I'd love to try chilli in my soup and cinnamon on my porridge :drool:

Hi Em, I know how you feel, I have chronic migarine (all day every day). Sometimes it's so bad i can't even move my eyes never mind anything else! I've also had a bad day today and just wanted to eat something in front of the telly under a blanket (as i used to which is part of the problem in...

Ha ha! I did that with some grapes! It's such habit isn't it! My friend at work knocked one of my bars out of my hand this week because she didn't know that I was allowed them and thought that she was saving me! Well done for not thinking 'sod it' and having some anyway!

So sorry to hear how you are feeling. I know it's already been said but try to forget about it and just remind yourself how fantastic you have been to do 16 weeks without any slips, I think thats phenomenal! Sorry to hear that your daughter is in pain too, and try not to worry about your son...

hanks Pete, great idea about taking scales with me. Think I'm just one of those people who can'tadmit that they're actually doing something right! It can't possibly be me being successful, somebody must be making a mistake! I ned to stop thinking too much mee thinks! Thanks for all your...

Hi everyone, me again! Just thinking about last nights weigh in and wanted to asks everyone's opinion. I weigh myself a lot on my own scales (i know i shouldn't! :d'oh:) and they always read about 3 or 4 lbs heavier than ll ones. I said this last night and other people started to say the...

Hi everyone, i went to my meeting last night and people were saying that ll are making a spaghetti bolognaise pack. Apparantly they've got it in Hull already. Has anyone else heard the rumours? I think it sounds a bit too good to be true!:confused:

Hi everyone, I got my porridge today! Just got to finish some work (ofsted tomorrow booo!) then I'll have some before i go to bed. I asked my llc about the quantity and she said you can have up to 4 a day and to treat it the same way as soup or shake. You don't have to replace your bar, you...

Hehe! I rang my llc on day 4 because i had a serious case of a 'popping' tummy and the runs!:ashamed0005: It cleared up the next day and I found that avoiding the water flavourings helped as they have fibre in them. In now in week 6 and have the opposite problem, this may be TMI but i go about...

Thanks H, can't believe I'm this excited about porridge! I've also just seen that somebaody has posted about it, sorry to be repetitious!:sign0007:

:pHi Guys, just wondering if anyone had got to try the porridge yet? I think my llc said that she would have some by tomorrow. Looking forward to it! Hope everyone is keeping well! I've just done a mile on the treadmill and some belly dancing so I'm feeling very saintly!:innocent0002:

Hi Guys, my llc said that they would be ready in 3 weeks, she said that she can order them next week, they'll get delivered the week after and she'll have them ready to pass out the week after, hth x

Pete, I think that you sound as though you have a really healthy attitude and are making the best of a bad situation. You know that you have the will power to make this week work and remember that if a couple of pounds go on, it's not fat just your glycogen stores. Good luck, you sound so...

Hi everyone, just checking in. Had my second weigh in last night and had lost 5lbs! yeah! I'm not bored of the soups or shakes yet and have tried lots of the recipes found on this site. Here's to the next 20 weeks! Hope you are all hanging in there x:)

Hi everyone, well it was my first weigh in last night and I lost.................................15lbs! :8855: I was so chuffed! Can't believe that's possible in a week? Is it a true 'weight loss' or is it water etc? I've stuck to the diet solidly and drank enough water to drown myself! It...

Hi, just wanted to say well done. You can see such a difference. You even look younger! What a fab achievement xx

Thanks everyone, it's nice to hear you're all still so positive. I've just had a biscuit made from a chocolate pack and it was alright! Going to have a savoury drink before bed and then that's me done for the day!

Well i'm sat enjoying a hot choc after my first day on lighter life, still got 1 pack left for some supper, today i've had 1 milkshake, 1 soup and 1 pack split between a hot choc and some ice cream! I was doing really well until my collaegues got the giant double choc chip cookies out! that was...

One day! BL

fair

Thanks that helps me too

Guy, thats amazing, hopefully i'll be in that situation one day! Either that or i need to find some really skinny friends!

I think that it sounds like a great idea to just take water to the cinema, i'm going to go on saturday and see if i can manage to do the same. I suppose it is all about habit rather than hunger in situations like that.

really interesting thread, would be great for more tips on what to do with the bars like the one about toasting it. I love honey roast nuts!
