Sorry! :(

I do that chicken thing too, but wrapped in bacon with no fat and sprayed with fry light to crisp it up a bit

As a bit of a science nerd I did a lot of research into this on the net. It appears that it can effect ketosis by upsetting something called the krebs cycle. From other forums I've read citric acid seems to have varying effects for different people. Some other diet plans that work the same way...

last year it was £52.50 per week for 21 packs. Not sure if there are new prices this year, but it got too expensive for me so I jumped ship to Exante. Similar products, but the bumper packs make it soo much cheaper. The only down side is that you don't get the group weigh ins which can be quite...

I don't understand this either as I have done both LL and exante (because it was cheaper) and both say no citric acid in drinks. LL also says no citrus in food but this is not consistent with exante. I can only assume that maybe the citric acid breaks down if you cook it? It has a decomposition...

How do you make the flax meal bread?

I found it quite easy to begin with, it's only since being a could of pounds off goal I have struggled. I lost around 3lb per week when i was 100%

LLL is officially over! Let the healthy eating begin! Not completely at target but happy :)

If you have to pick, raw veggies are ok as long as they are in the list! That's what helped keep me sane when I was doing the lite!

I've not really done lunches as I like to eat with my husband in the evenings. I've done a couple of fry ups for breakfast.....for lunches I have had soup a couple of time which I made at home and took to work on a thermos flask, I guess meat salads otherwise!

Thanks Jez!

Oh my god me too! The most I can manage is 3 days and then it all goes wrong. Today someone brought goodies in for their birthday and I couldn't help myself :( I have 3 lb to go and just seem to keep sabotaging myself. Thanks girls, support here is fab but u think I need to sew my lips together lol!

Just got back from a three day boot camp with some of the girls from my lighter life group. It was brilliant fun, we had life coaching, personal shopper, yoga class, hot tub, out door team building and loads f fun and games.

I asked the LLC if they had any spares and that it wasn't fair that lite clients didn't get anything!

No Probs Pinks! How's your quest for tomato soup going?

Its a bit annoying that you don't get any of the weight loss equipment if you are on LL Lite. I gently moaned a bit and got the pedometer and the fit ball!!

We were told that it is free membership for people (LLT and LLL) already on the programme and £15 for newbies. You get to go to the group whenever you like and we got the magazine for free last week.

My LLC said that the reason you should limit the quantity of bars is because they have an ingredient that can upset your stomach if you have too much of it. I don't think there is evidence of the bars affecting your losses. I've had 1 every day and have lost successfully (when I've not...

First session was good. Very relaxing although I spent the whole time thinking to myself...."I can open my eyes, I'm not hypnotised" but when I tried I couldn't, weird! Going back in two weeks for another session....will have to wait and see if it works

I just broke too. It was good at the time but now I feel all bloated and over full. Oh well, back to day 1 tomorrow. Chin up, it's not failure, just a small pot hole in the road to slimdom :)

All chocolate, everyday? Actually i could do that with the porridge! :D

I have had bloody hiccups for an hour :sigh:

lol! if you look at it like that I've lost a car tyre and an average cat!

Hmm I agree, I only ever had 1 it was nasty!

I try not to have my first until 9am but the last few days I've been munching a bar one the way to work at 7am and by 11am I'm starving! I'm in ketosis according to the stix but I still seem to get hungry.... :(

I've lost the amount of cheese an American eats in a year. What's more concerning is that anyone can eat that Much cheese! Lol!!

See in my signature I have the weight tracking thingy? If you click on it you should go to a webpage where you can make your own. Then you can cut and paste the code into your signature and it should show up when you post!

I lost 1lb, but wasn't 100% so I can't complain. Well done everyone xx

cool, thanks Karenlisa, I done LLL since september and have only 5lb until i get to target, what I need is help not going back to my old ways! I'm booking a session for a couple of weeks time, so I'll see how it goes!

Hello, A friend of mine has a hypnotherapy business and has offered me some sessions to combat my addiction to sweet things. I was wondering if anyone else had tried hypnotherapy for diet or anything else?

oh Mags, thats a long day. I thought 7am until 7pm was bad :(

We have been doing loads of slow cooker stews. 10 minutes preparation before work, set the timer and piping hot stew loveliness when I walk through the door. No waiting lol!!

What have you been cooking Mags? I'm running out of ideas! OH is getting bored of chicken curry! Lol!

Well done spangly, I found it hard to choose a goal too. I guess it's a balance between feeling good about and being healthy, and the effort required to maintain. If I had to live on lettuce and be down the gym every day I'd be miserable even if I was thin!!!

Well done! We are all stronger than we give ourselves credit for, you go girl

:D:D:D That made me chuckle!!!

cool! let me know what you think!!

Hmmm, other things I posted that day have already arrived. Email me tomorrow if it still not arrived and I'll get a couple more.

Yes you can, just don't have the pitta bread.

You can't have parsnips anyway! There some nice recipes on the LLL thread :)

The choc one is nice hot but seems to need a bit of sweetener as it loses a bit of flavour when heated

Mine puts up and shuts up! He gets fed LLL meals at dinner time but the rest of the day he does what he wants. He has lost over a stone since I've been on LLL just through us not having take away and taking salads to work for lunch.

I have been learning to knit and crochet using YouTube! It keeps me busy and away from the cupboards! Being close to goal is good and bad as its made me less bothered about sticking to the plan. If I eat the odd thing that I shouldn't I just think "oh never mind" and carry on! In reality I...

Hey yasmine hope you feel better soon x. Ae you feeling better about the food options now you have seen the results!?! I really look forward to my meal as even when I'm in Ketosis I'm still starving! Making the curry tonight, having less chicken so I can have some lentils too.

Did you like the tomato soup

No problem! There's a recipe thread around here somewhere too if you feel adventurous! Lol

If you are unsure you should discuss with your LLC. Remember you don't have to eat it all! 300g of chicken is a lot! I split my protein allowance and have half meat and half peas or lentils or an egg :)

Fab photos, looking younger too! Love the boots BTW :)

Don't worry about the calories! As long as you stick to the allowed ingredients you will be fine. You can still be in ketosis eating those things :)

Gonna have to quite the gym as it's got too expensive :( however I was only doing classes and my OH has just got an xbox kinect so I've ordered active 2 which comes with fitness programme and a heart rate monitor so you can track your calories and the zumba game. Really excited as the kinect is...

It's a bit of a hobby. I love baking as well, bit that's not so good for the waist line lol!!

Yay! Welcome to LLL!

Most of the things I cook are exactly the same as before just with a few ingredients missing, namely pasta, rice and potatoes. Shepherds pie is nice with carrot and swede mash and I make chicken kievs wrapped in bacon instead of bread crumbs. The fish stew is just sauce made from onion, garlic...

Got mine this morning thanks! Hope yours comes soon I posted at lunch time so it might be Monday?

Most people are surprised by the food, just because it's diet doesn't mean it has to be boring!!

Can't cut and paste as posting from iPhone. It's in the same section as this, about 10 from the top. Jen's daily blog

PS I have a blog on this page I posted all myself for about 10 weeks.

You don't have to eat all the food, the protein measurements are only there as guidance. I agree it is hard to eat 300g of chicken! Do try to eat something from each food group though to ensure you are keeping to a balanced diet. Remember you can eat as many veggies as makes you feel...

Pinks, your You know what is in the post hehe!!

It doesn't really matter to me! I don't mind having the odd day off now and again :) I know I WILL get to goal but some times you just need food!!

my pre xmas weigh in showed I had put on 3lb, but I had a weigh in last night and they have come off plus 1 more :). Thats pretty good considering that was only day 5! Unfortunately today I have eaten peanuts :eek: it was a total accident, I was sitting chatting at my friends desk and just...

Me too LOL!!

I agree with SB I Have done SW and WW in the past and got bored with it and put weight back on. LL has been so quick I'm still motivated and adamant that it will stay off. At the end of the day I don't think it's anything to do with the way you lose the weight (as long as it's controlled)...

I couldn't eat any thing greasy before I did LL as that seems to be my IBS trigger. I had serious IBS symptoms when I went back to food before Xmas. Any time I ate something even the slightest bit fatty I felt rotten. Good for keeping the weight off I guess, but not fun!!

I like the chocolate ones heated in the microwave. I only made the mistake of mixing with hot water once though! Lumpy doesn't even start to describe it!!!

My llc says discount is on until the spring. I also got a free magazine tonight and they tried to flog me a recipe book too!

Good luck :)

Email me your address, mine is the same as my user name on here @ hotmail.com

First weigh in of the new year tonight....

Mine has a beard and is called Tom!

£3 off! In three weeks I can buy some St. Clements powder!

Me too! PM me your email and address and I'll pick you up a couple, consider it late Xmas present! We are not allowed to trade or sell on here anyway

I found body combat classes good to burn a few calories and tried to stay off bread. Pasta and rice are ok for me but I tend to pile on the lb if I have lots of bread.

Welcome! Congratulations on your losses so far x

Excellent, I got this weeks packs before Xmas but have to go back tomorrow for more so hopefully they are going to do the discount too!

Anyone know if Lite is cheaper too?

I voted choc shake as my daily diet consists of porridge, choc shake and nut fudge bar!!!

Lol. That's why I have been a size 16 all my life.....

I can always get you a tomato if you want to try it!!

No probs. The book was a bit vague too, but this is the general gist of it. Not sure if I've over done it with the fruit allowances, but it's only fruit right?!!!

So far so good, I am on to day 4 today. Had a minging headache for the last couple of days, but it seems to have lifted just in time to go back to work!!

Thats depressing! good job I'm back on packs for phase 2!

theres tomato soup too and they are bringing out some packs that look like real food. I think the lemon bar is going and the toffee one has been improved.

I drank Lots of green tea when I had flu before xmas as i dont like lemsips and such. Night nurse and day nurse are the best pills that I found and should help your throat. Hope you feel better soon

Starting lite again to shift the final few pounds after the Xmas break. Day 1 yesterday was fine but I have woken up to find my TOTM has arrived and I have a splitting headache! Roll on ketosis!!

Right, back on it after the Xmas break for the last push. Packs are all ready to start tomorrow. TBH it will be a relief to say no to food for a while. I think I have eaten my own body weight in chocs over the last week!

After reaching my original goal of a size 12 I have maintained a Month and have decided that after Xmas I'm going to do another 4-6 weeks and try to push for a size 10. I have already bought packs and start on the 2nd Jan! Has anyone else got to goal and decided to continue to lose more?

LLL RTM is only 4 weeks

Woohoo, good going! Have you decided how long you will do the next stage?

According to my LLC you can as long as you rinse them off!

So jealous! Have a great time x

No need to apologise! That's what this forum is for.

I think 25-29.9 but it should say on their website

I didn't, but then I stuck to it for approximately 3 days! You can lose weight still as your calorie count it still low but you need to exercise too.

Up to 29.9!

Good choice, I love that shop! Have a great time

I've only done lite and it worked for me. I still got into ketosis so I had good losses 2-3lb per week and it meant going out to restaurants was still enjoyable as long as you research the menu first. I guess it would get you used to eating in a controlled manner, but so does RTM! Not much help...

Try some of the lite recipes and avoid carbs!!

oh duh! lol!! :)

Still here but taking a break from LL. I'm just finishing RTM. I got to a happy size 12 so the last 7lb would have taken me to a weird in between size. I'm going to see what it's like to maintain and might go back for a final stone in Jan.

I'm having me Friday! I'm getting a new kitten and then having an extended long weekend to play with him!!

I agree. I partied my 30th with much food and merriment! Tomorrow is another day....no reason not to get back on the wagon! Glad you had a good time xx

looking good!

never got to group. Going to have to do the last week of RTM without packs!

I've been knitting to fight the food urge! scarf is done, now onto some gloves!

just finished 3rd week, but I was on lite, so I am now on three meals per day plus 1 bar. I have had issues since I have been eating the extra carbs and fats. The choc from my advent calendar yesterday was a problem!!!

Hello, I have slightly personal question for the maintainers...... Since returning to food has anyone had problems in the bowel area? Since going back to food I am suffering IBS type stomach aches and emergency loo runs if I eat anything with even a little tiny bit of fat content! I have...

last day of week 3 RTM. Good news is weight remains unchanged for third week in a row. Bad news is that I wont get to group tonight due to snow......ridiculous. Technically I could walk there in an hour, but not up for it in this weather!

Welcome Betty! Sounds like you are off to a good start! Not sure if I can offer any advice on how to be good at the parties, but I don't seem to have the will power for such things! If you click on any of the tickers it should take you to the website where you can set up your own. Then you...

Body combat class last night.........lost the ability to move my arms this morning! I had forgotten how good a work out that was. Week 3 of RTM nearly over. I've pretty much given up on the eating plan as I seem to be controlling things with exercise which is the long term goal anyway! Not sure...

Well done! Think how many extra cals we are burning in this cold weather lol!!

There is an upgraded toffee bar too!

3lb is a good loss for lite. You're doing great

Finished at 29lb for now. Trying to see if this is maintainable before deciding whether to go for another half stone. Want more in my life that just gym and salads!!!

I wasn't having trouble with water until I left my bottle in the car over night and this morning it was frozen solid!

You should be able to swap them at group or with others in your group.....don't let then "give" you flavours you don't like!!!

Week 2 of RTM complete, weight has stayed the same again which is excellent. I've not really been eating acording to the plan, but I have been trying to count the calories so I shouldn't be going over 2000 a day. More food allowed from tomorrow and going back to the gym this weekend. I might...

Hey magic, nice to see you on the lite side!! I have found that the best meal to have real food for is dinner as evening time us when I tend to get most hungry as I am around the house. But it doesn't matter when you eat as long as it's one meal. I pretty much stuck to the portions in the book...

I'm here! Went to watch Harry potter this afternoon, excellent! Smuggled my bar into the cinema and sat there with a nice cuppa. I'm so old!!!

Thanks Tracy, I Love it and i feel more grown up!

Well RTM went totally out of the window! Have eaten flapjacks and bread this weekend and loving it! Still it's all been in moderation!

pics on my profile.....

Week 1 of RTM completed. Weight stayed the same which is good. I have been munching on shreddies today, which is bad! Now to tackle potatoes!!! Bring on week 2

what is Zumba?

Ah yes that would be going backwards!

Day 5 of RTM so far so good (apart from the Yorkshire pud). Been to the gym and actually had more energy than I thought. I kind of wish I'd been going all along now :) back to the gym tomorrow and then weigh in Thursday. Looking forward to cutting down to two packs. Gonna stick to porridge for...

Ah I thought that was week 1! duh, that will teach me to read properly! Still, don't do it! LOL!

Hows the dizzyness Spangly?

brilliant loss, keep going like that and you'll be finished in no time!

DONT do it!!!!! You have had a brilliant loss this week. If you eat chinese then you will have to start the ketosis process all over........

when you prove her wrong she will have to eat her words!

Middle length at the moment, I want something radical this time cos I always play it a bit safe!! Attached Thumbnails This is what I had done in September, but it was not really what I asked for!

How far down RTM were you before you went back to packs? maye be try 3 packs and food (no carbs) like LL lite for a couple of weeks before introducing the carbs again?

I bought a handbag at losing 1 stone! I'm having my hair done for 2 stone! When I make target I will be going to the spa (this might be a bit longer as I'm now on RTM and will do the rest with exercise!!!)

Looks lovely. I'm going short on sat!

I made a choc muffin and chopped it up in a cherry yoghurt, it was quite tasty and hopefully fitted the RTM rules!

On a completely different subject, I made the "muffin" out of a chocolate shake and chopped it up and put it in a cherry yoghurt. I'm not saying it was entirely like a black forest gâteau, but it was quite tasty!

Oh dear, day three of RTM and I caved in! Went out for a roast and couldn't resist the Yorkshire pudding, at least it's not the three I used to have! Also had parsnips which I just realised aren't on the list either! Oh well, I don't feel bad as it was delicious......hitting the gym tomorrow so...

It was great, but my bank balance has taken a beating!

Apparently a tsp or so of the water flavouring makes interesting porridge flavours! I've not tried it but a lady at my group swears by the summer fruits one!

Yay please post more, then I won't have to talk so much lol!!!

Day 2 of RTM today. Still think I need to lose more, but I want to do it slowly with exercise and regular eating. I'm happy with my size at the moment as I'm not bulging out everywhere anymore! I'll see what happens, probably have to hit the Shakes again after Xmas!!!

Thanks guys! I love reading all of people thoughts and ideas. We need to get more recipes on here though, I'm running out of ideas!

Sounds like its been going really well! Congrats on the fab loss. When are you planing RTM?

Haven't seen you about for a while, how is it going?

Thanks Mags, I'm very proud of my achievement although I'm having a thoroughly sh*t day today! I am being undermined by my manager as he is supposed to be seconded else where leaving me incharge. He keeps letting my staff take time off and I end up left doing all the work to try to keep the...

the toffee ones are nice just to eat but do make quite nice microwave biscuits also!

First day of RTM today. Week one is not too tricky as you just add fruit to the 3 packs 1 meal that I have been doing for weeks. I am going to keep it simple and have some mixed berries on my porridge and then an apple or orange after my dinner as pudding. Towards the end of the week i am...

the best thing to do with the lemon bars is throw them away lol! But if you want to perservere, microwaving them is better. You need to chop it into cubes, spread them out on a plate and microwave for about 20 seconds or until they start to bubble. They taste a bit nicer then and come out like...

Here here!!

I was losing steadily off my hips and stomach but not off my boobs, then I lost 3 cup sizes over night, but not until week 9! Weird!!

lol, no slaping required, I'm very proud to announce it to the world!! I'm a comfortable size 12 in the trouser department at the moment. I have quite big boobs though, so some tops I still need a 14 if they are fitted where as stretchy things I can get into a 10. I was a 16 (sometimes 18...

Despite your emotional rollercoaster you are doing so well. Over half way already, brilliant!! :D I'm booked in for body combat on Monday, its good for releasing work stress. I imagine the face of someone annoying and punch away!

Day 77 Not going to group tonight, but weighed at home this morning. My scales read 7lb lighter than last week so correcting for clothes (I wear the same to every weigh in) and the general daily weight gain I have lost 4lb WOO WOO! That makes -29lb altogether, leaving me with 7lb left to...

I went through phases too, you will come out the other side. Just take one day at a time. Good luck :)

I've had a lot of people say "I don't know how you can go with out eating, I couldn't do it". I explain that I am eating, just not as much as I used to! I think a lot of this is jealousy. People like to see others fail, especially if they have a weight issue themselves and don't have the...

Don't know, was going to spend the night vegging with OH, however the people buying our house just pulled out which means we will probably lose our new house. Normally I would drown my sorrows in a large dairy milk, so not sure!!!

I don't have any savoury packs! I generally add lots if seasoning to my meal, but maybe I'll try a bit more.

I have many of these, especially if i get up too fast. The room spins a bit and I feel really unsteady. Like you I have all my packs, my single meal (I'm on LL Lite) and litres of water and I'm not doing an enormous amount of exercise so I'm not sure whats going on. I just put it down to the...

Fab dress! Well done on the two stone mark. Fingers crossed I'll get there on Thursday

I'm on lighter life but just popped in to say hi! That is totally amazing in only 1week. Well done, keep up the good work :)

Good luck babe :)

Found it in the book, maltitol syrup is in the bars. Sorry it's the scientist in me I had to find out!! I'm such a geek sometimes!

Thanks Surfing Girl.

Struggling today. Already had 2 packs and its only 10:30! Already drank loads of water and tea, but still feeling hungry! Really busy at work too so i don't get it :( If it ever stops raining I will go for a walk at lunch time to take my mind off food as my next shake should be at 15:30!!

according to the LLL RTM book you can only have 1 bar a day as they contain something which can upset your stomach if eaten in large quantities. Sorry i can't remember the name of it!

Go for it babe. I wish I'd lost weight before my wedding as now I have to look at fat wedding pics, not that I would have Changed it for the world LOL!! Just keep looking at that gorgeous dress :)

Sorry to hear that you are not on top form at the moment, hope you feel better soon. :)

Day 74 - Had 2 baby showers at the weekend and managed to avoid all the cakes! Nibbled on some ham and carrots while the others tucked in to brownies and all sorts! Still, it does have its advantages as I had an excuse not to join in with the "taste the baby food" game. Some of them smelt...

Keep up the good work. I was at a baby shower yesterday which meant I was surrounded by cake.........torture!

i started off really liking the veg, mushroom and tomato soups, but after about week 5 i have really gone off them. I don't like the cramberry bars anymore, they have started to annoy me as they are really dry like the peanut ones and the lemon ones are horrid! I've never really eaten the chilli...

Only 1lb off this week, but miss calculated my required loss, so actually 4lb closer to target than I thought :) !! Aloize- 3st 4lbs (17 so far) Angel.ljb-2st carrie1980- 2st (5.6lb so far) Cerealkiller - 3st on top of the 17lbs lost. Achievable? FYM - 3st Kenshin112 - 2st Magiclove - 4st...

Day 70 Weigh in today. Only 1 lb off, which is weird because I weighted at home 10 minutes before group and I had lost more! I have decided that this is my last week of Lite. Next Friday I will be starting Route to Management. Feeling positive, going to have a really good week, keep up the...

Hey, long time no chat! I have posted a fajita recipe that we have had a couple of times and is really tasty, Would be tasty with quorn too!

let the pampering begin! Off for my lovely bath now.....candles, bubbles, book and a nice big cuppa!

i asked about the freebies for Lite members too, but apparently its just for Total members. I smiled sweetly and got the swiss ball and pedometer. So far I have sat on the ball in front of the telly and the pedometer confirmed that I am not walking enough on a dialy basis!! Oh well :~

missed out on this last week, so double treatment this week!! I'm going to leave work early for a bit of retail therapy/early Xmas shopping. I've asked nicely for OH to make dinner (LL Lite meal of course!) and then I'm going to have a relaxing bath and paint my toes nails!

lol! oh dear! I had more than necessary to start with so I'm not that bothered! I'm on the waiting list for a reduction due to back problems. I need to have a healthy BMI before they will do it, but if I keep going at this rate I might not have to bother!

Average week so far. Had a breakthrough bra shopping of all things! Went up to a HH when I was at my heaviest, but now back down to a G (only a G :D )so I can actually buy bras that cost less than my mortgage again! I am all for Bravissimo, they sell some lovely stuff, but its SOOO expensive...

Good luck x

Peppermint Hot chocolate: Brew up some pepermint tea (250-300ml) so that its quite strong, but not bitter. Then mix in the chocolate shake pack and whisk.....ta da, choc mint hot chocolate!!

On a positive note, I am on the Lite version (which i know isn't quite the same) and we are allowed carrots. So far, according to the ketostix, I am in ketosis. I will keep my fingers crossed that it hasn't caused any set backs. Magic is right though, the weird ways we try to justify things...

Its up to you what you do hun, better to do lite and keep on track than to break plan and never go back! :) I do Lite and it does let you enjoy more social occasions. The waiters do look at me funny :confused: when I ask for no potatoes, no sauce and extra salad!! I had a break for my...

its a tricky one. I broke plan for my 30th Birthday (I wouldn't have done it for a regular birthday) and it took 2 weeks to get back on track. I managed to stay the same luckily, but it was hard going back to shakes!

Hi Magic, Not sure about the RTM on LLL as I think I'm still 2-3 weeks away from starting it. I am going to ask tomorrow at weigh in as I feel I will need to plan for the weeks ahead! I will post any info that I get tomorrow once I get back. The general LLL program involves having 3 packs and...

Day 60. Been sticking to plan fairly well this week. I had a bit too much cheese yesterday, but I was cooked for so I couldn't argue! I avoided the spring rolls and apple turnover though! Seem to have the munchies today. I have been snacking on mushrooms and carrots. This is the first day for...

my LLC only makes us pay for the number of packs we need. So if you have 2 left from the previous week then you only need to buy 19 instead of 21 (I'm on LLL not Total). We can swap packs too if we have had them a week or so but no longer. I would be pretty miffed if I was sold old looking...

I had a fab weekend shopping for new clothes! :D I was reluctant to buy anything until I had lost a decent amount of weight, but it had gotten to the stage where I had nothing left to wear! :confused: I have finally got a waist!! :clap:

Thats amazing! keep up the good work :) ps I dont like the chili ones either!!

ok so I am back afer a total technological break down! not sure what happened but it resulted in no internet, and the computers at work block anything like this :( Had a difficult couple of weeks as it was my 30th birthday and then my hubby's birthday and stayed the same for 2 weeks. I'm back...

I usually really struggly with Sundays, but today I lost over 4 hours trying to book concert tickets on line! By the time I came off the computer I should have had 2 packs! Well done for resisting though!

Day 38 Fudge bar, roast beef with veg, vanilla shake, porridge had a good food day, I did lick the custard spoon completely subconciously, but I abstained from the apple strudel!! Sadly no Glasto tickets :( we were online and on the phone for 4 hours until they sold out. Never mind, re-sale...

Its my 30th birthday this week, so I am taking a positive couple of days off LLL to celebrate with my friends and family. I'm not going to go mad, it will only be Monday and Wednesday, and I wouldn't bother if it was just another birthday......but 30 is quite a special occasion!! So all that...

Hi, no potatoes in it, it was spanish-ish! I posted it in the recipe thead under lighter lifer lite. Day 37 porridge, ham egg and salad, nut fudge bar, choc shake. Had lunch with some family friends today which was lovely. Felt empowered saying to no to desert when normally I would have just...

I made a fab spanish-ish omelette tonight. fried an onion, red pepper, courgette and cherry tomatoes in olive oil (from allowance). Then beat together 4 eggs, large dash of milk (from allowance), handful of chopped parsley, salt and pepper and poured it over the veg once it had softened. After...

Do lite members get these freebies too? I'll have remember to ask next week. Wish I'd read this yesterday, I only went last night!

Holiday was fab.....the Greek wedding was an experience!! Day 26 went to plan Days 27-32 didn't go entirely to plan. I have to own up to eating a lot of cheese! it appears that you can't get greek food that isn't either deep fried, covered in oil or full of cheese!! Day 33 Breakfast -...

Like the other girls said you have done so well and this is a slight blip in an otherwise perfect 6 weeks! Try not to concentrate on falling off the horse, instead climb back aboard and ride off into the sunset to slimdom!

congratualtions! you are doing so well, just shows LL really works! Keep it up :)

Lucy, can I ask why you have changed from LL to Exante? Is it just the cost? How are you finding it? Jen x

Hi St. A I'm glad you have found a way to treat yourself and enjoy your daughters company. I think it is important to reward our weight loss! A new hair cut has made the world of difference to be honest. I now feel ready to tackle this diet with avengance :D I think I have attached my hair...

Yo-yo, I'm sorry you are feeling so down today. I don't really have any words of wisdom, but I can offer a :hug99:

Thanks FYM! Good luck everyone :)

On day 1 I felt amazing, but on days 2 and 3 I felt like total poo! I mostly layed on the sofa feeling sorry for my self! 3 weeks on and it has got better now, I have only had a couple of headaches in the afternoon/evening and I don't feel particulary tired. Good luck Bea and Burley, glad you...

I have been wondering how to treat myself without buying choccies and other naughty things. My LLC told us it was important not deny the urge for a treat, but to turn it away from food and on to things like magazines, cosmetics etc. I am trying to avoid buying clothes as I don't want to waste...
