    A bit of advice from someone who screwed up...

    Hi AJ - I followed your journey on here last year. I have realised exactly the same lesson as you, maintenance is not 12 weeks, it's forever. I think that should be stressed a little more during LL sessions. It is very easy to think 12 weeks and then you're free but the maintenance stage...

    will i still lose weight

    During the first stage of RTM you have 3 packs a day and one meal. However, this is steadily increased. I am not sure it would be good long term. I agree that one of the plans on CD might be better as it would appear to be exactly what you are looking for. On a separate note, I am getting...

    NICE publishes paper on VLCD - direct impact on LL

    I am not sure of the details. A VLCD is a diet containing 800 calories a day or less. By adding milk to packs this will increase the daily calories to 1000. Not sure how Cambridge diet are dealing with the news.

    Goals, motivation and success

    For people just starting out on their LL journey, or for those needing motivation, I just thought I would post to say how worthwhile LL is. It is tough at times and goals can sometimes seem a long way off, but just keep going. I have just bought two beautiful summer dresses in size 10 and I feel...

    When do you stop drinking water on weigh in days?

    I drink 2 litres before attending weekly weigh in and then stop and have 2 litres afterwards. I don't do this in the hope of getting a pat on the back from the counsellor but just in an attempt to get as accurate weight record as possible. It may not make a huge difference in the grand scheme...

    Feeling cold

    Very first meal on management

    Hi All I am on the verge of moving into management - sometime within the next 2-3 weeks at most. I wondered what people ate for their very first meal. How it was cooked, how much you ate, how it tasted, if it felt different eating 'real' food etc. I want to know everything! :D Hope x

    Exercise!!!!

    Throughout my lighterlife journey I have always found that the weeks I do lots of exercise are the weeks when I dont lose as much!! This annoyed me greatly at the start, especially when doing excerise took a lot of effort and motivation. Now, however, my attitude towards exercise has changed and...

    I often have my shakes like that. For variety, I sometimes add fruits of the forest drink flavour to chocolate pack (black forest gateau here were come..!) and orange flavouring to vanilla (tastes like melted down cheesecake). At the moment I am addicted to vanilla icecream (same kind of...
