    I hope the first week really is the hardest

    To answer your question YES!!! The first week is hell but after you get into Ketosis you are fine and the hunger stops (well the physical hunger). You have done so well to go out and do all that and not give in to temptation! WELL DONE!! :clap::party0011: On the poppadom front.... Try using...

    As other posters have said you should do what makes you happy. I do think you should be happy with 3lbs loss though as that puts you on track to lose a stone a month like LL promise. I understand your disappointment though as I also got a bit down when my body very quickly decided to settle...

    LL Low Calorie Week

    My LLC said they were looking into some new flavours and banana was one of them, apparently LL did banana awhile ago but it got taken off as it wasn't very popular and exchanged for the caramel I think... feel free to correct me but i'm sure thats what I heard.
  60. Samantha

    Why don't LLCs come on here ?

    I had heard the same thing as Mich, something in the contract they sign with LL. It is a shame tho, because the CDCs on here are very helpful!
  61. Samantha

    Can someone give me vital info?

    I pay £66 a week for a weeks worth of food, also covers costs of counselling. If you want to buy the flavourings they are £9 each but mine last 2 weeks. There are other extras you can buy but as I dont get them I dont know the cost. Hope that helps.

    Help.... Lemon and Ketosis

    does anyone know how much water with lemon you would have to drink to knock you out of ketosis??? I was out tonight and they brought my water with lemon in it. Didn't think about it til after my first sip. I could kick myself now :(:confused::sigh:

    Does anybody Use The Chat Rooms?

    On another forum I used to be on, they would sort of advertise (if thats the right word) a certain time to chat. Then people would know that if they wanted to use it there would hopefully be other people to chat to. Don't know if it would work but might be worth a try. I'd come and chat to...

    An interesting bit of news.... My LLC told us last night that they are looking into getting a nurse in so we can have our BP done at our meetings. Hopefully it works out. Not a bad idea for other LLCs to look into.

    Good Luck Steph, It says on my recipe sheet to put them on parchment paper but my counsellor said she uses cling film and that works ok for me.

    Hi Steph, I mix a soup packet with water to make a thick paste. I then spoon small amounts onto some cling film, I put them in a circle round the edge as I find in the microwave the ones int he middle burn before the outer ones cook. Then I put on for 40 secs on high, Check them then another...

    Hi and Welcome Ria, I also struggled with the water but I bought the flavourings and that has helped me to get through it. Only experienced a bit of nausea when I was having two soups a day as I found them hard to stomach. I had slight headaches and was tired in my first week, I'm happy to...

    Hi SoonBe, I have had a good weekend. My OH and I went out for coffee on Saturday, he had chocolate cake (how supportive lol) but I wasn't tempted by it. Well done for resisting temptation also :) Hi Bumpy Bean, Glad to hear the heartburn has gone! Well my understanding of ketosis is, it means...

    People starting LL in March...

    Hi Steph, Glad you are feeling a little more positive today :) I found the soups really hard going in my first week (had 2 a day) I cut it back to one a day and swapped some for bars and smoothies. The trick with the crisps is to microwave them for about 40secs and then do it in 10 - 20 sec...

    I felt a bit tired but I didn't know whether it was due to LL or because I was working somewhere else for 3 days and was a bit stressful. I found drinking the water hard and managed between 3 and 4l per day. My LLC said that could be why I felt tired. I got some of the fruit of the forest...

    From what I understand the drop in day is on day 4. Were you allowed the bars from day one? We were only allowed them from day 4! But at least it means I can chew again :bliss:. I went with toffee and fruit but found the toffee very sickly sweet. I haven't tried the chili one as another...
