Hi All, The reason I ask this question as because I have tried every diet under the sun and two meal replacements Cambridge and Lipotrim but still gave up or gained weight. The reason I thought of Lighterlife is because I thought the counselling would be really powerful and get me through it...

Thanks Rachel great advice and a very motivating!! I know I should hit a stone by next week which is pretty good going for 3 weeks. I experienced my first social outings this weekend pub with friends last night and pub with friends this afternoon and IT wasn't to bad. Although when all my...

Thanks both, it's going very well I just want to keep it up. Doing a lot of reading, internet surfing and watching TV to pass the time and hunger (not real hunger mental hunger) I just want to mental hunger to go and all will be great.

I have to say I am into my second week and I really think lighterlife is going to work for me just the additional support, information and knowing that you are with a group of women who are in the same boat helps me mentally so far. But as everyone says each to their own and all that!

Hi All, Well I had my weigh in last night and it was the 9 pounds as I suspected!! Really pleased with that and another pound of this morning!! Going to aim for 4 more to make it 1 stone in two weeks, do you think I can do it? Really enjoyed the meeting last night and the techniques we used...

Wow Bella Bee you have done amazing, I feel the same really hope the lightlife works for me with the group etc I am sure everyone (including me) will warm up eventually and get into the swing of it. When you have done 14 weeks do you still go to meetings etc?
