Hi everyone Sorry I've not posted in a loooong time; I've been so busy with the wedding plans! I completed my 100 days a few weeks ago and last night had my last weigh in on abstinence. With my wedding 3 weeks on Saturday, I now need to fast track to management! I've lost just a few lbs...

Hi all WI last night and I hit my 3 stone!!! In 10 weeks! I was NOT expecting it in the slightest so was very chuffed when she said I'd lost nearly 5lbs taking me to just literally my 3 stone! We talked about my journey from now until the wedding and have agreed I would finish my 4 weeks...

Hello everyone Well even after eating little bits of our wedding breakfast taster menu this week I still managed to lose 3.3lbs. Perhaps it will catch up with me next week?! So I've now lost a few ounces short of 2.5stones in 8 weeks! I'm chuffed to pieces! I really feel good knowing that...

I can't speak for everyone else but I think I've identifed reasons why I do it following my Counselling in LL... - My fiance always gives (gave!) me a ''look'' whenever I (used to) eat anything in front of him that he'd disapprove of. So when he isn't at home, its a perfect opportunity for me...

I've read loads of your posts - I'm a bit of a lurker here at the moment still. I feel really inspired by you and everything you have achieved. You are amazing! Oh and I wanted to say Re: wisdom teeth... I had 2 out last November and I suffered terribly as I've never been good with teeth stuff...

My challenge was to resist food at my wedding breakfast menu tasting with my fiance. It all looked so good and tasted so amazing. I had small bits of each thing (see my blog if you want full details on what!) Is it wrong that I don't feel the slightest bit guilty? Yes it would have been a...

Hiya I spent days moaning and whinging on here about my indigestion. It didn't click until one day when I'd not had any water flavouring for a few days, it just disappeared! I thought it could be the bars, but I've been having those again recently and it wasn't them. It was definitely the...

In Feb this year, I did 4 days on CD before giving up... even after 4 days my hair fell out quite dramatically. I say dramatically because I have hardly any hair anyway and its very very thin & fine! I am desperately worried about what will happen when I finish 100 days on LL, especially as my...

Hello all I have 2 things I’d quite like your thoughts on please! Firstly, a bit odd I know, but can any of you actually tell for certain that your breath smells??? My mouth tastes gross practically all of the time (although nowhere near as bad as in the first 2 weeks of LL!) and sometimes...

I've been terrible these last few days. Think it is my visit from the monthly painters fault. I really do! Its awful. I have even this evening scoured our cupboards & fridge to see what I could eat and my choices were: Mouldy cheese - my fiance NEVER wraps cheese up for some odd reason...

Hello Mrs A I'm stalking you! LOL You told me about this site when I did CD ... since starting LL I remembered it and joined up!!! XXX

Ha ha, how funny... just as I posted this; I got an email from a close friend at work: Didn’t want to shout across the office as I hate it when people do it to me, but you look like you've lost weight. Have you been trying to? I screamed back in the email YES YES YES!!!

I was told no... but I am only 6 weeks in and not as experienced and 'in the know' as some of the men & ladies on here! My understanding is, they don't do any harm but one of the main points of the LL programme is looking at your relationship with food and so that means taking it ALL away. I...

I didn't tell them as I tried CD about 4 months ago and failed on day 4. I didn't want to tell everyone and then fail again. If people ask me now, I will definitely tell them... wish they would! I thought that too Suzy, maybe they don't want to say anything in case I haven't? They all know...

You look FANTASTIC! Such an inspiration. WELL DONE! XXX

We've not done this in our group yet - only at week 6, week 7 on Wednesday... but I've really found it useful reading about thought records on here. Until we learn it in class, I have been using my blog to express my feelings etc. with the diet. None of my family have seen it, only you guys...

I'm quite gobsmacked that none of my work colleagues have not said a thing about the fact I've not eaten ANYTHING for 6 weeks!!! Surely you would notice someone never going to the canteen area for lunch? Never having one of the millions sweets & cakes that are in our kitchen for birthdays &...

Hi all After doing so well and not eating or drinking at a wedding we went to a few weeks ago, I now have another dilemna I'd appreciate your advice on... In 2 weeks, my fiance and I are due to visit Scotland for the last lot of wedding planning before we marry there in October (we live in...

Hi everyone I know my LLC will go into this in more detail but would help to be prepared! I'm 1 month in today since my first LLC session! When my 100 days is up, I will still have more weight to lose before I am at a healthy range (I think anyway, depends how much I lose in foundation!)...

Hello everyone! Well tonight I lost 4lbs taking me to 1.5 stones in 4 weeks! I can't believe how happy I am!!! Slight annoyance... one girl has cheated for the last 2 weeks we found out. Chips, crisps, pastries - all mega bad food in my eyes. And both this week and last week she's lost...

Feel really weird today. I'm absolutely starving! Well I know its not real hunger and all that...!!! But I have real strong 'hunger type' feelings in my tummy. Feels weird. Is this normal?! XXX

Hello everyone Well I did it. We went to our friends wedding yesterday and I didn't eat or drink (except water!) A SINGLE THING!!! AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! It would have been so easy to lapse, but I didn't and this is a real turning point for me. Social eating has always been a problem...

I lost 5lbs tonight taking my grand total in 3 weeks to 17lbs! I'm over the moon. Indigestion? what's that?! PAH! (LOL, remind me I said that when I'm moaning about it again tomorrow!) LL counsellor is speaking to her medical team tomorrow as she doesn't think its normal. We agreed I'll...

I'm someone who can open up quite easily if I feel close to people. I hold more feelings back from my family, especially about my weight. I hate the comments people make about what I eat; if I say I don't want a piece of chewing gum they're like ''oooh trying to be good are we?'' which whilst...

Thanks Sammy, I'll try that then. I didn't have any at all yesterday and by the time I arrived home at 6pm all of my indigestion had gone, helped possibly by a trip to my friend the toilet?! So far today I feel really well, I had my first ever fake bake last night, so feel gorgeous actually...

Just spoken to the Doctor. She doesn’t know enough about LL to be able to help me. She’s happy to see me but not sure what it will achieve. She said I could be intolerant to something in the packs and that’s what’s causing it but unless I stop them to see if it eases off, she won’t know. She...

I have been having the water flavourings but not as much as in my 2nd week (when we were first allowed them) as someone said that might be the issue. I only have a little bit in the evenings now so it can't explain my indigestion during the day? How do I know / find out if I'm lactose...

Another update... literally a few minutes after writing my last post my indigestion came back with a vengance, was utterly utterly awful I had no choice to take another gavilast tablet. They say a maximum of 2 tablets in 24hrs. I can't continually take tablets and gaviscon remedies. I don't...

Hi everyone Thanks for your replies. Its still really really bad, I'm in agony over it at least 3-4 times per day :( Finally got hold of my LL counsellor who is back from her holiday. She rang LL headquarters and said I could take original gaviscon tablets / sweet things. Can't find them...

I sat and read your blog at work on Friday (oopsie!) and am totally inspired by what you've achieved. AMAZING! I can't wait to look and feel as good as you do! Joo xxx

It hurts SO bad. I have never suffered from indigestion before and I can't take the pain! :( Please can anyone tell me if I can take anything that won't kick me out of ketosis on LL? My counsellor is on holiday until Tues and my class is Weds. last week I asked the lady covering and she just...

Well done! All these losses keep inspiring me to go further! Julie xxx

Since joining, I've spent a lot of time reading your blogs (hope you don't mind!) and being VERY inspired by them all. I thought I'd love to do one myself so here you are. Its obviously a bit bare at the moment though!!! Joo xxx Bride Joo's Lighter Life Journey | Diet, fitness, weight loss...

Wow reading your stories has made me want to open up and add mine so here goes... I began to pile on the weight when my Dad left at about 8yrs old. I was a large child and was a very unhappy child at school from constant bullying. This just made me come home and eat more from comfort. It...

Hi everyone For the last few days or so, I've been tearing my hair out over what to do about a friends wedding we are going to a week tomorrow (23rd June). I've had thoughts running through my head from ''just eat a little bit of the main course and a sip of champagne for the toasts''...

Well its official, I don't think I have ever suffered so much in my life ever!!! LOL So until my tummy settles down (as I can cope with it at night when I'm home) I won't be eating the bars during my lunch hour at work, back to faffing with the shakes!!! Don't suppose all this extra 'loss'...

Hi everyone I'm feeling FAB after my great week 1 loss today and have already been enjoying the flavoured water powders and bars (had one last night and one just now for lunch). Before I begin to get excited about them every day, can someone put my mind at ease about the wind situation...

Hello everyone, thought I would come back and report how my first weigh in went... As I said earlier, I lost 3lbs on Saturday. Well tonight I lost 7LBS!!! So in total, in one whole week I have lost 10LBS!!! Its amazing and I feel so so happy! Isn't it funny how my feelings & mood have...

Hi everyone I'm new to here, hello! I get married in approx. 4-months time and today marks the end of my first week on LL. My weigh in is tonight... I started it because I was getting nowhere on other diets and I want to be a slimmer bride. My Dad has done LL and lost 4 stone in about...

Wow that's amazing for 5-weeks, well done! I've just started (on day 4) and feel really inspired reading some of your losses! Julie xxx

Hi all I'm on day 4 and so far its going ok. The hunger has started to ease off but I have woken up with a terrible chesty cough! I understand I can't take any cough medicine, please can you confirm as my CDC is on hols! Also, am I supposed to get such bad wind?!?!? My stomach is gurgling...
