I tend to weigh around 5lbs heavier in the evening than the morning. Don't forget - a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter! It seems a lot of people have a slower second week, just you hang on in there. CD does work, we both know it does. Chin up xxx :hug99:

Glad you have had a good day Loody :) I'm sure you wil have lost plenty of weight! I started on Tuesday and have lost 8lbs already!

Must be something in the.. err... water! Our chatterboxes are NOT worth these tears :hug99:

I started off feeling quite good this morning but I'm feeling a bit crappy now. It was my son's birthday cake that did it, there is sooooo much of it left and it makes me feel so :cry: to see it going to waste. I know I am not a dustbin, and deserve better than to be filled with rubbish but...

Last night, H's beans on toast with cheese. 2 This afternoon, sons birthday cake. 4

:giggle:

Hiya - I am definitely a WeMITT! I lost 3stones1lb on LighterLife in 2005 - I used to be weddingmousie on the DH forum, got pregnant and piled it all back on again, plus an extra stone. This is the last time I ever want to do this, so I've set my goal weight lower and will stick to it 100% and...

Fantastic news Joolz! I popped on my this morning and I'm 8lb down (on day three)! It feels sooooooo good :scale:

Write a list of your motivations for losing this weight. Fitting into ...... So that I don't feel fat when I stand next to ..... So that I can ....... Not feeling self concious when I ........

That's great news :) Hope you enjoy your cruise!

I'm a real foodie too joolz - I've been reading about healthy meals tonight, helps me get over not eating. I can spend plenty of time thinking about food and planning what sort of things I might eat once I'm at goal. I could do with getting some ketostix. Might send Mr Paisley out for some...

Hi Curvalicious :) I've just sat and read your whole diary :D Just wanted to say well done! You're doing great :)

I'll join as a first challenge! My goal will be 18lbs :) Week 1: Week 2: Week 3: Week 4: Week 5: Week 6:

I had 3 yesterday and 4 today so that's 1307!

I love feeling how much I've lost. My old LL counsellor used to have a chunk of concrete weighing three stones in her living room!! She got us to lug it around once we got to goal, it was quite funny!

Are you both on CD? Can you chuck away all the "nice" foods that will tempt you? I remember when I was first on lighterlife in 2005, we had a packet of hobnobs rolling around for a couple of weeks and every time I saw them it was a nightmare. I just chucked them in the end.

Debbie, hang on there :hug99: If you are sticking to the diet (eating all three packs and drinking enough water) then the weight will come off, and staying the same will be water retention. See how you go at this weeks weigh in before you make any decisions... :scale:

Have you written a list of motivations? I find that helps, and I also have a list of things to do when I want to eat, which includes reading my list of motivations. There is also the three minute rule - before you eat, wait three minutes, which gives you time to assess the situation. Don't...

Cambridge Diet find a counsellor If you look at the list, there are three in the Newark area. Anne A, Steven B and Julia C. Julia is my mum, but she is in Flintham which is more towards the Nottingham side of Newark.

It might be worth seeing if you could get a counsellor to come out to you. My mum is a CDC in Newark and she had one lady in Mansfield that she had to go out to.

Keep strong Davica :)

How do you know you wouldn't like them? Have you tried them? What about the bars?

You should be able to buy ketostix from your local chemist. Are you sure you are really hungry, and not just bored/missing the act of eating food?

Woohoo!!! Well done!!! :scale:

Well done! :D It's such an amazing feeling isn't it!! Here's to many more pounds lost :scale:

...I got on my scales this morning. 5lbs off in one day :eek: I know, i know, it's water but still! So day two is going well so far :cool:

There is a quote somewhere, about it not being the falling down that is the failure, but the not getting back up again. You had a blip. Now you need to draw a line under it and move on. If this continues to bother you, you will collapse completely - let it go. Nobody is perfect. Look...

The carb withdrawal symptoms went in about four days for me last time. I stopped feeling tummy hungry on the second day. I still felt what I call "head hungry" - tempted through boredom, throughout the program but that was part of the whole thing for me. I chose to do a VLCD to be removed from...

When I did it last time, in a group of 10 of us the least lost was 5lbs (think this lady cheated though), and the next up from that was 9lbs! Onwards and downwards! Don't let your chatterbox win :)

Hi I'm not Debz but AAM is week five :)

Hi LoodyLou, it's my first day too, but I'm on my second time round. Keep going, it really won't be long until you have got the hang of it. That first weekly weigh in is so worth all the feelings of deprivation. Remember though that it is not really deprivation - it is freedom from food so...

Thanks ladies :) It's been a good first day. Nothing really tempted me except for our eldest son's reheated dinner LOL Here's hoping tomorrow is as easy as today.

I tell you what it was that got me through my 100 days on LL last time - it was clinging to that statement "I've stuck to it 100%" and I knew that just one slip would mean I couldn't say it anymore.

I really miss the nut crunch bars on LighterLife because they were a different texture.

Hiya! I used to be weddingmousie on the Discovery Home and Health forums. I recognise quite a few names - Diva, Geri, icemoose... And WOW icemoose!! I think you were started your journey whilst I was on mine (June-Sept 04). I lost 3 stones back then, but have since piled it all back plus...
