    Hi Girls - Another question????????

    I'm planning to sole source until I get to a BMI of 28 then review. I have PCOS and am insulin resistant so will probably follow the steps up on Cambridge and then revert to GI/Gl diet. Once I get to BMI of 28 I can have more fertility treatment so will have to just be sensible about my eating...

    Hi Red, I know exactly what you mean honey. I have had 2 tries at IVF (private as NHS wouldn't touch me with a barge pole!!) I was then told to lose 5 stone before trying again. There is no reason they can see that the first 2 failed except for my weight. At first I was furious, thought it was...

    Fabulous news Not so big Mama!! You've done great so far honey. Before starting LL/CD I followed a low carb diet for 2 years and maintained my weight.

    Mils, I am in the process of swapping from LL to CD having lost over 2 stone in the last 8 weeks. All I can tell you is that having not really had a cycle previously due to PCOS, I have had 2 periods since starting LL. They say that 10% loss of your total body weight is enough to kick start...

    I'm confused

    Just wanted to say that my GP said that when I go into maintenance and start eating again to be careful. Because you have been without conventional food for so long if you 'over indulge' it can cause you liver pain - presumably if you have something fatty straight after abstinence it causes your...

    PCOS girls following LL Hi Julie, Yes I wondered about the peestick being dark if that would be anything to do with the PCOS/insulin resistance.. have a feeling it is.. our wonderful bodies do weird things as you said!! We need to start a PCOS ladies thread!! We're all pretty similar...

    Elsa, Thanks for that. Well done you on losing so much. I have begun to think that it may be slower because of the PCOS. Have you found any lessening of your symptoms as your weight has dropped? Just looked your blog - similar statistics to me although I started out at 17.2 - same height...

    Got over 100 lbs to lose? Roll Call!!

    Hi All, I have targeted myself to lose a 100lbs and on LL I have lost the first 9lbs in a week!! Possibly I would be told my ideal weight loss should be 114 - 121lbs but 100 seems like a good number to aim for initially. I realise there is a long way to go yet and things will slow down but am...

    Hi All, I'm on Day 2 of my LL diet and so far not finding it too bad. Thought I would struggle with the water but am finding that by drinking 1 small bottle when I get up ( 1/2 litre) and then another on the way to work and making sure I drink a pint every hour whilst at work, I'm finishing my...

    You're right guys I've never tasted anything so disgusting in my life!!! Where are the nuts in it??? Ended up breaking it up and putting it in my hot chocolate shake, even then it was foul!! Ended up leaving half of the shake and bar, oh well I'll know better next time! Trouble is I ordered 3 of...

    Angelxx - if it happened au naturelle, I'd be over the b***dy moon!! Doubt it though, it hasn't in 12 years of trying at various weights!! I certainly won't be using contraception!! Although I know you shouldn't do LL if pregnant so would certainly keep an eye out just in case!!
