    Wedding ring

    Hi my rings are falling about but it isn't a problem since if you are getting them from an established jeweller, they will reduce them for free at a later date, as in my case. Suz

    2 Questions - please help!

    Our LL measures in kgs and has a chart showing the conversion to stones and pounds but tells you what you've lost in pounds too. I think converting isn't an exact science but if it bothers you, why not keep a conversion chart (you can get one on the net) for comparison at home. Re bad breath...

    Scales not moving this week...

    Just to add scales are evil. I am a chronic weigher but I keep telling myself it will catch up in the end. There has been no real logic to my weight loss including TOTM, excercise etc and my biggest loss was on my last week before starting management! I am now having the same panic about the...

    Getting rid of clothes

    Hi all Taking a few people's lead, I have been sorting clothes out for ebay. However I am also planning to do a car boot this weekend - subject to weather! I have never done one before but does anyone have any ideas of what to sell clothes for? Thanks Suz

    question about photos

    It is a very strange feeling, like I'm in someone else's body! I haven't been this weight since ever. First weigh in was at 15 so it is a whole new world

    I find going into the kitchen with hand blender and mixing up a pack during the quieter moments certainly draws attention too!

    Self absorbed work colleagues!!!

    some people don't. My mother in law hasn't mentioned mine of 4 and a half stone! I think this can be because they don't want to embarass you or it makes them feel uncomfortable about their own weights. Make sure you are dressing to impress to make the most of your new sexy figure to keep...

    Thought Records

    Hi Helen I think they all very on the individual. I think they are for those times you are feeling an emotion or are just plain hungry! Next time such an occasion strikes you, try it. Don't worry about trying to find such a time, it will fine you! Suzy x

    Am I doing something wrong?????

    Hi I've gone at a slower pace than most but keep remembering the comparisons with WW or SW. I have gone from losing half a pound after 10 days to losing 7 pounds in the same period. There is no logic but it does work. It has taken me just over 5 months to do just over 4 and a half stone...

    question about photos

    Thanks for this. I still can't do it! but I think that's me so I'll save it to pendrive and get one of the IT guys from work to do it on Monday. Went into management today after losing a bizarre 7 pounds! V scared/excited!

    ME AGAIN...

    My sticking point was 11 stone and it took 2 weeks to lose 3 pounds and then it started to come off again. At least on SS it is a lot quicker than WW when I got stuck there and then gave up. Just hang on for 3 weeks and you will see a difference! Suz x

    Looking good, feeling great

    I'm in a good mood today. Was back in the office after 4 weeks off in my Vicky Beckham stylee skirt and got fab comments all day. Yes there was the odd catty comment about looking too thin! but it was great and got a little embarassing. Anyways yesterday I went to Selfridges and ended up...

    Hi all I got back from holiday last week. Missed all the lovely weather back home!! I was lucky I was in self catering but I managed to stick to packs although did have a couple of mouthfuls and some small glasses of wine. I found me prancing about in a bikini without a sarong really...

    Losing weight in weird places

    Hi I'm the opposite to you all! My top half went quite nicely but the bottom half has taken ages to go. I am now quite boney but still have the bum and thighs. They are slowly getting into proportion but thighs are still quite chunky. I'm only 5ft 2 and a half so I just can't carry it as...

    I think I'm falling off the wagon!!! Help!!!

    Hi it is really hard sometimes. I found I had to focus on ways to take my mind off food and food related activites. I still find it hard to go to the cinema for example. I went for long walks and also now you've lost weight go window shopping and just try things on. I bought myself a Karen...

    Hating it!

    Thanks Slinky. I am with fatpossum. Obviously positive strokes are great but it's the people who think you are stupid for being on a VCLD and who have never had a weight problem and therefore go on about the traditional healthy eating/exercise and critise from that respect. I don't mnid...

    Updated photos...Now on management and happy with my weight/size!

    Hi Skinny Would you mind me asking what weight you are now? I remember you saying that you were similar stats to me and I think you look fab and hopefully want to get to somewhere where you are. Thanks Suzy x

    Hating it!

    Good for you for having the confidence to tell them where to go. It is jealously I think but also do you think like me that if you were in denial about how big you were before, getting to look good kind of admits you weren't before? I was sat at a dinner a couple of weeks ago (eating a bar!)...

    Body Dysmorphia?!!!!

    Hi fatpossum I feel exactly the same. Even at a size 20/22 I always thought I looked OK. I perfected the art of looking as thin as possible in photos so always never saw the truth. The LL before photos were a big shock! Now I am a size 10 on top and 12 on the bottom but I still don't feel...

    Loose Skin - but in the wrong place. Help!

    Hi Mrs Flora! I haven't had kids either and my boobs (the one bit I liked!) have all but gone. My once ample 38 C/D has gone and when I was in the US I was shocked to discover I couldn't fill a B cup! However my now 34Bs fit happily into the H and M padded bras so I'm sticking with them...

    Shrinking Witch - daft dilema ??

    I would also get rid. I know it sounds practical but they are not going to fit you properly anyway when you get pregnant. I offered some of my bigger clothes to my also skinny and now pregnant best friend. She's now bigger than me!!! Anyway they looked atrocious so sell yours on ebay and...

    What are slim thighs?

    Looks like I'm going shopping for MBTs on Wednesday then! Thanks for the feedback as having been thinking about these for a while. The trouble is there are also mentioned on 6 foot glamazon women who would probably freak at the thought of a 19 inch thigh!!!

    Flying long haul on LL

    Hi Tiger I was also in business on Virgin so know totally about the grazing aspect. They did give me some water but I bought 2 litres in the airport as well (past security) to take on the plane which also helped.

    Convinced LL isn't working for me...

    Hi I am on below average having done 52 pounds since starting on 1 Feb. Which I just worked out means 2.97 pounds per week. I weigh in on a Saturday and I'm away at the moment so don't have scales with me. I had 3 weeks of losing 1 pound something and then had a 4 pound loss. You MUST...

    Flying the LL flag for you! Hi all Thanks for the positive feedback. I flew with Virgin and as I said they were really helpful. I do fly quite a lot for work as taking foodpacks in handluggage is fine and I never had a problem. In fact on an overnight trip to Valencia in April on the way...

    Now I am really really cross

    Don't blame you being mad at all. It is so much more a reflection on them that you. We discussed this in my development group today and all agreed this. These people are just taking out their own insecurities on you. I met someone this week who after an hour of meeting me (having not seen...

    Sugar Free Chewing Gum...

    Hi all The reason for the ban on sugar free gum is because it keeps your tummy awake and makes you feel hungry so I suppose if you can stand that you can have it. The milk thing is psychological as the premise of the plan is to step away from normal eating to review what you are doing and by...

    Milk Week next week for me...

    I ignored my milk week too for the same reasons as everyone else. I only found out about it at the meeting for that week. It seems at my group at least that it came in about 6 weeks ago but rather than panic people they only tell people at the start of week 13 so you don't have time to think...

    Newbie.... and advice please!

    Hi I've not done more than 1 1/2 pounds a week for the last 3 weeks. However I have been losing around the hips FINALLY and it looks like I have already lost more than a pound already this week. Keep going it is still quicker than any other diet and it will catch up. Suzy

    Clothing sizes...

    Don't even get me started on the size thing!!! Not only do they vary between shops but why is the gap so different between the bigger sizes versus the smaller ones. There are 2 inches between a 16 and and 18 versus 1 between most 8s and 10s. (Not that I wear them but you know!!). It is...

    In the twelves - result after 16 weeks

    Thank you for sharing your incredibly inspiring story. I think it will help a lot of people. I myself have reached that point that I haven't gone any further than before. 10 1/2 stone. I have my gym induction on Tuesday so hopefully I will be progressing forward too. Thanks again Suzy

    Making up drinks in bulk!

    I find that the shakes dissolve better in hot water and with a mini frother you can get the lumps out. Maybe if you take a thermos flask with you, this would work? I like the shakes better hot anyway!

    Bad day....

    Coping with a disappointing loss!

    Hello I have lost on average 3 pounds a week. In reality this means that one week I lost 0.9 and then 2.2 3 days later and then 3.3 4 days later. It is hard to focus when you have a slow week but like the others have said look at your monthly losses. Also even with the biggest binge I bet...

    How many Bars a day?

    More than one bar a day I asked my counsellor the same thing as I was out all day for a couple of days last week.

    Warning- a rather delicate matter

    I had one a couple of years ago. Although quite fascinating in a gruesome kind of way I found it very uncomfortable and ended up not being able to complete it. Didn't really make me feel any different after. Knowing me though I'd probably give it another go!

    LL STARTERS IN JANUARY 2007

    Hi Skinny I agree with AJ as well. A few pickers have emerged in our group too but it's just going to make it harder in the long run. They also have quite a lot more than me to lose. You are doing so well at the moment so don't take any notice! Suzy

    Who goes to the gym?

    I think some cardio work must make a difference but not for too long. I have started a running programme (I say running but mostly jog, walk etc!!) rather than going back to the gym since I am one of those who ends up signed up for a year and only goes half a dozen times! I went running 3...
