Wow.. will we be able to choose not to add the milk do you think? I had read guidelines stating 16 weeks was the max but not 12.. scared I'll lose the plot again i I change my outine and still want to continue till July...

Amazing!!!! So fabulous... brilliant.. what more can I say.. Go for it!!!!

OOOh yes.. must update my blog.. went right off it when things were going so bad.. will do this eve..

Well done!! I too have that fab sense of achievemnet at the mo and its great to surf on that wave isn't it!!! I'm also hoping to get my 3 stone this week.. my own scales are showing it already and having a huge wardrobe clearance already!!

Hi Everyone.. Sorry to be so quiet.. just got back from many rellie visits over Eastert and glad to be back to my lovelyhome and of course my PC!! As an update I am so in the zone I have a permanent halo.. :) the bingeing seems like a world away and so anathema now.. I have my appt through...

Yahoo.. parise indeed.. and well deserved of course!!

ooh. got me all excited now.. can't afford £500 but would pay £20 or so from the guy on Ebay.. so what do they do? Peroxide paste n special ligts? Is it basically just bleachingyour teeth? Are there any side effects? Is it harmful?

cheers!! :O)

:o what does a five star rating mean? :o

New ones and new bars coming in April.. Starwberry, banana.. bars anyone?

Well done you.. yes you're prob right!! na night!

BRILLIANT.. You star!!!!!

How did it go?

I'm with you sarah on that! I only have mush & chicken nowadays.. But what about asking for a hot water in a mega mug and taking your battery whisk and doing it yourself?

Well done you.. great feeling isnt it?

HI! My 7th weigh in and I have now lost 2 1/2 stone in 7 weeks.. must be doing something right.. Have to confess small binge and vomit at lunchtime but have talked it through with LLC and its in the past now.. onwards and downwards!! How you all doin?

Think its prob tastebuds changing .. good though eh?

Oh Sarah.. The biggest huge ((((((((((HUG))))))))))) for you.. I lost my mum 5 years ago and dread the day anything happens to my 74 year old dad.. Anything I can do just shout.. email me too if you want to talk more...

rofl... thanks for making me smile!!! my body speaks the same language by the way..

Oh blimey.. sure I would panic at first too but some good advice here.. getin touch with LL.. they may even have "locums" to cover the patch for a while.. Or go to another one if poss.. or become the LLC yourself!!!!! hee hee.. why not? CD is always a very good option.. may even do that myself...

oooh didn't know that!!

Well .. I looked onto it and have the details.. about £10,00 to set up and £14,000 for the franchise.. so a blooomin fortune.. think it can be VERY lucrative though and will be very popular.. as is already!

I was prescribed saline solution.. had probs after 3 c sections.. worries me though..it is better now I've lost some weight but am I always gonna have this overhang? :O(

ROFL.. what an EXCELLENT idea!! Although does the smell make you want more!! Really cute.. want one!!

Awww... hug for you.. I'm crap at being the one to make up firsf.. but it always feels wonderful when I do.. go on you've enough to cope with without this sh~t too!!! Well done for not turning to the fridge though.. thats a real achievement and a mark of how well you're doing! (((((HUG))))))...

BRILLIANT!! That is SOOOOO fab for you.. well done!!!!

Wow.. I love you lot... think we'll all have to find another prob when we're gorgeous and slim so we can keep supporting each other!!! Still 100%.. proud of mesen!!!

Thanks..will it really get easier?

Wow.. well done Pix....sooo good to hear the delight in your message!!! I'm also off bars for a few days to see if they were triggering the late afternoon / early eve hunger I was having..

HI! welcome too!! Why dont you take the litttle one to counselling too? At that age they'll prob just sleep??? Or maybe not!!;o) I assume you're not breast feeding as I'm sure LL would be just too much withthat draining your energy too.. Keep talking.. we'll help you through.. you came to...

HIya! I started off at 16 2 but am a short ass so want to get down to about 8 1/2 - 9 stone.. not been that in 20 years!!! Hoping to get to less than 10 by end of July so I can start management and lose another bit befor4 my bday end of Aug!! I just started a new thread but DS2 sat on my...

HI! Thats brill.. Good for you... (((HUG))) I also lost 3lbs last night and am now 13.13.. funny eh? How much more would you like to lose?

Allllwwwayyyss fffff rrreeeeezzzziiinngggg!!!!!!!!!! ;o)

Those pics are amazing.. SUCH a difference in such a short space of time.. You should be Sooooooo proud of yourself..

HI! A slight warning.. I made these from the thai chilli and havent been able to face it since.. they were great but just alittle too flavour-concentrted for my taste.. not enough flavours to risk going off any more so I'm sticking to the liquids!! ;O)

Oooh I have really vivid reams too.. mostly centred around food.. but they're far from nightmares.. funny them seem to be around sweetthings when I'm actually a savoury person..

DH just vomited.. he's feeling terrible and I'm feeling great.. drank litre water and 2 x coffees and booked teh swimming pool for a swim.. feeling holier than though.. long may it last!! hee hee!!

DH making cheese salami n tomato toasties... they're al eating them.. me made coffee n litre water and shut study door.. being good dgirl... help!! ( PS DH on CD)!!!!!!

That is just BRILLIANT!!! What motivation eh? And an inspiration to us too... well done that girl!!!

Wow.. this is such a supportive group.. thank you so much for your fabulous words... My news is that I managed 100% yesterday.. just had my 4 packs a squillion litres of water and no bingeing at all.. so proud of myself.. a small step but a good one... Phew.. I can do it.......

OOOhh that touched me too.. one of my goals is similar.. you see DH & I were both overweight at our wedding ( I was pg too)!! So we plan to get new outfits and have a church blessing once we are at goal.. will send pics too!!!

Writing this to let you know what's been happening and as a cathartic exercise to get it all off my chest! As many of you know I've been struggling for a while.. felt better on Fri / sat as i had a confidence / esteem boost having been offered a job.. great.. Then of course normality hit...

HI! I SOOOOOOOO know where you're coming from.. i am just where you are.. have just come on here to write a new post while my kids are having their tea (my worst time) Read my post and let me knnow if its any good to you..

oOOOh I'm a reused volvic 1litre bottle girl too.. can drink it in one NO problem.. hee hee

HI sez! Huge big massive hug for you... many of us can relate exactly to your sentiments and I know how hard it is but I admire you so much.. lean on us for a change.. we'll get through this!

Ooohh my DH & I have both had phases of this.. warning though.. you may feel great and strong while baking but if the food is still around a day or so later you may be sorely tempted.. thats what happened to us!! hee hee!!

THose pictures are INSPIRATIONAL.. Soooo proud of you and so want to have what you've got.. thanks for the motivation!! BRILLIANT!

HI! I have had that a lot recently also..is it any partic time of day so you can save you packs for then? Just an idea! (((HUG)))) for you anyway... with you all the way!

Hi Everyone... wow! What can I say.. what support on here.. SO glad I found you.. and so glad I confessed.. one ofthe hardest things I've ever done... I had an interview for a job yesterday and GOT It! So am seeing that as a turning point in both getting happier and sorting out the bingeing...

Oh we really really laughed at that one.. poor woman.. could have been me.. sure you two are not in my class?

Well I think the blip will be this week.. I've only ever purged once before having lost 4 1/2 stone with SW i was in a new relationship and putting on weight bythe minute so I b/pd a few times until my OH & best pal gave me a talking to and I haven't done it until this week.. although I have...

awwww.. thanks.. actually the sun is shining inside and out today.. had big chat with OH last nite and feel better physically and mentally today.. gonna swap some packs so that I just have ones I like ( not many) and am determined to break out of the binge cycle and go for it once again! how...

Binge cycle I tried to post this as a different user name as \i'm so ashamed.. for the last 3 days and one day last week I have binged then made myself vomit afterwards..:cry: Just finding it so hard.. I'm depressed anyway.. PMT and having a hrd time with my family, no income and trying to...

Good luck today Cath.. my advice is to really shake the packs well as the lumps make me gag!

Well not had TOTM yet but I reckon I 'm having the worst PMT in years... :(

Good luck Cath.. you came to the right place!

Wow!! That's brilliant..we are nearly the same too.. (((HUG)))) for you!

....

Well... I lost another 4lbs since last Thurs.. that's 21lbs ( 1 1/2 stone) in 19 days.. bloomin marvellous.. lifted me a bit too.. I needed it! Off to bed now.. poorly boy so will be another nite without sleep :(

awww.. you're all so lovely.. thanks so much for your kind words... will write again after WI!

Sorry for not contributing much this week.. quite low..many factors in that.. weigh day today thouggh so will let you know how I get on..

Like many others I drink tap water in the day and v chaep sparkling water at night as a treat! Can't afford mineral water on top of the LL expense!! Be careful with drinking bathroom water as one of my dad's neighbours became very ill from it.. his came from a tank in the loft..

I wish there were.. can we swap do you know? as my DH is on CD and I'm on LL and I'd love to use his mix a mousse and have the tomato soup etc etc!!!

Thank you Thank you all so much for the fab advice and lovely support.. I just went to bed last night I was so down about it and today don't feel much better but it's not just the binge that I'm worried about.. I will let it go.. prob after my weigh in Thurs.. gonna have a pop in today to see...

Can't believe I gave into temptation after I've been sooooo good.. :break_diet: I knew feeding the kids at tea times would be hard but tonight DH wasn't here.. I had two distressing issues that arrived at the same time and I caved.. I finished off the boys' teas then ate a slice of bread and...

Wow Wow Wow!! That is so brilliant.. such an inspiration.. especially for thise with tthe long trek ahead of us.. Well done you.. revel in that fab feeling.. you deserve it!!

HI Lana! Perfect advice there.. it really is the case that you won't be hungry once ketosis kicks in.. I baked and cooked all day yesterday and it wasn't a problem at all.. in fact I have to persuade myself to eat the packs many days.. go on.. commit to it and you'll be fine! Also...

Hi Sal.. I'm in week 3 / day 15 and happy to be your buddy..or one of them.. how's it going? I lost 18lbs in the first 2weeks so am totally over the moon.. people have alreday commented! i'd like to lose around 7 stone in total so it may take a while but not compared to how long it would take...

HI! I agree with all ofthe above.. the other thing I wondered was your BMI is quite low ( compared to me and many others anyway)!! Is it that we will all lose comparatively less each week the nearer we get to a healthy BMI? Just a thought! The other thing is give your LLLc a call and chew...

HIya! I'm on day 14 today so just behind you.. we can all support each other on here so don't be afraid to lean if you need to over the next few weeks!

sorry if some are repeated! Lighterlife Recipes. Make those food packs more interesting. Milkshake Recipes. Muffin 1. Put a little hot water into a ramekin dish, or whatever you have - thick mug or similar (about 2 desert spoons to begin with - you can add more later if necessary) 2...

Gem I have a list of recipes if yuou'd like me to send them to you.. or I'll add them to the sticky'd thread!

HIya! I had a phase like this too.. my LLC said that she didnt like the packs but just chucked them down her so I have doen that from time to time.. when I missed a pack the other day I felt terrible physically and mentally the next day so don't do it! I also seem to alternate between...

OOH.. That's brilliant.. that's exactly what I'd like done although we can't afford it.. but my GP said long before I embarked on this that if/when I lostthe weight he would refer me for it! So fingers crossed.. May I ask something personal.. don't answer if you don't wish but are you under or...

HI! I thought it was the norm but maybe not.. you see our LL venue has a room chocked with clothes of varying sizes that we can take & contribute to at no cost.. it's BRILLIANT!!! Why not suggest it at your next LL meeting or do a clothes swap there?

Took some dulcolax and have been but still have a sharp pain on my right side..bit worries it may be appendicitis.. would be just my luck...

ooh.. just spent a happy 20 mins playing with that! thanks!!!

Pls delete this.. soz!!!

OOh.. may try it then.. not been since having D&V Tues! :(

I lost another 8lbs so 17lbs in total and its actually only 12 days for me so far.. not bloomin bad eh? Chuffed so off to bad.. so tired and nauseous!

I lost another 8lbs so 17lbs in total and its actually only 12 days for me so far.. not bloomin bad eh? Chuffed so off to bad.. so tired and nauseous!

HI! I've been nauseous since the beginning too.. (Day 12 today) even wondered igf I should do a pg test!! aaarrgghh!!!! Glad it's not just me then.. i also seem to have indigestion.. not massively but not nice.. is that common too?

Well I did just have 3 packs yest and feeling all withdrawal-y today.. had 2 soups already so will make some bics or muffins now and scoff those then still have 2 packs left.. Feel yucky n shaky... help!

Do you know I almost feel on a high with it.. my hubby is so impressed he's starting CD tomorrow.. I would too but REALLY want the counselling to work.. SOOOO fed up of losing over 4 stone to just regain and more besides.. this has GOT to be IT!!! Bit cited bout my weigh in tomorow.. will come...

Can't find the fridge cake recipe.. is it on here somewhere?

Ok.. will have the extra tomorrow.. but I get weighed tomorrow so will have after the class! Gonna try the fridge cake then! Thnaks!

I've only had 3 packs today and am sorely tempted to leave it at that as it is quite late and I'm really NOT hungry.. is that terrible? Good? What advice do you have please?

HIya! Wow.. some good advice there.. this forum is brilliant! I'm originally from Whitehaven too Lana!! Well.. was born there then moved to Lancs now Hants!! Still got family up there.. love it!!

HIya! I'm also in my 2nd week.. get weighed tomorrow.. great to share this journey together! How's it going for you? I had a terrible start.. huge carb withdrawals but lost 9lbs in the first 5 days.. (started on the Sun as it had been my son's 4th birthday party) All going well until I got...

Oh wow!! That's brilliant.. can't wait for it to happen to me.. that's ALMOST what it's all about.. it nearly makes me want to hide away and emerge as a butterfly when all the fat has gone!!! Just for the looks on peoples faces.. wow.. you revel in it.. good for you!

Thanks.. feeling much better now and back in ketosis by the feel / cold of it!! Sussed the ticker too it seems!!!

Help.. how do I get my ticker on.. pleeese!!!!?!!! J xxx

Weight Loss - Diet Ticker ticker!

Oh? My counsellor said only to test when we go to get weighed as we may just swap our food addiction for a ketostix addiction.. makes sense to me! Stopped me testing every 5 mins anyway!! Jan xxx

Hiya! I am on day 10 and have had a D&V bug for the last few days.. my hunger seems to have returned with a vengeance and as I haven't been cold due to my temperature / fever I am so worried that it has affected ketosis.. Anyone experienced similar? Any advice? Thanks, jan xxx

HI! New Here! Hi everyone! So glad to have found this forum! I'm Jan, I started LL last week.. actually Sunday 11th Feb although Thursday is my meeting / weighing day. I seem to have lost about a stone in my first week and am thrilled! Chat more soon.. Jan xxx
