    lapsed too

    I know what you are going through, I lapsed today big time, but tomorrow is another day & I will get back to my packs. I know why I did it & have learned from it. The next 4 days are the hardest getting back into abstinence, so good luck & keep posting.

    The Bond Girl Dress Challenge

    Anna, have you found anything yet? I went into M&S yesterday & they have some absolutely gorgeous evening dresses, unfortunately I don't have anywhere to go that would warrant an evening dress this year, but they could be what you are looking for.

    Hi Angiebobanji, not sure what the statistics are, but my friend who abstained all the way through has put on a stone since last year. I stuck to it until near the end of 100 days of abst, but never got to do the rtm properly because of holidays and other things that got in the way. I got to...

    Hi Sarah, Welcome to the forum. Some people don't get a headache others do, mine was like a caffeine withdrawal headache, but it wasn't too bad.

    What do you say!!!

    It bugs me that people feel the need to comment on my weight. Its my body & i'll do what I want with it. If I want to become really skinny then thats up to me. The worst people for saying it are the ones who are jealous and they used to be thinner than you, they can't seem to take it.

    shall i start now?????

    I think you need to commit fully to this diet, if you are not able to abstain for the 100 days then you shouldn't start it at all. Once you have eaten during abstinence it is 100 times harder to get back on track - I know. Your head has to be in the right place & you don't need any temptations...

    Saz don't worry about small losses, any loss is a bonus. My LLC says there is no rhyme or reason to how you will lose your weight, just that you will lose it. Just remember you should lose at least a stone a month, that is better than any other diet out there. I think you are doing everything...

    wot is

    LL don't agree to anything outside their programme, but if you check the ingredients against the savoury drinks they sell, they are exactly the same. I think you are only supposed to have 2 a day if I remember rightly.

    You can get it from most supermarkets & it is exactly the same ingredients & taste as the LL savoury drinks & a lot cheaper. I think you find it in the gravy & sauce section.

    Giving the bars a test run

    Well I couldn't do it without the bars, when I've run out of them, but still have lots of shakes I start to panic. My favourite is the lemon, sometimes I make the biscuits, I also like the peanut & cranberry. I don't care if they slow down the weight loss, coudn't live without them!

    After RTM question

    Yes you're right Vintella, you are always welcome at LL, I've met people that have maintained their weight for 8 years & then put some weight back on & came back to LL for packs & counselling. You can go to any managment class or pop in when you've done LL & it won't cost you anything but the packs.
  78. Cherry Plum

    Today has been really hard :(

    Pete - well done sticking to it even though you didn't have enough packs with you. How did your weigh in go? Lyn - come back! I hate the CD packs they are disgusting compared to LL.

    Why don't you stay on LL until you've lost all the weight you want to lose & then go elsewhere. Personally I would stick with LL if it were me. In the last year after doing LL & losing six stone I have not been able to maintain my weightloss without LL's help, I've tried SW & lots of self help...

    I only lost 1.5lbs this week, I think its because I've done SW before & I thought I knew what I was doing. This week I'm going to make sure I check everything & write everything down. Hopefully next week will be better.

    Love Handles? :P

    When I lost 6 stone on LL & became very thin, my love handles shrank, so did my wobbly bits. They were all still apparent but not as noticeable, they were quite sweet in a way, because they were petite lol So don't worry they will shrink with you.

    I didn't watch the programme, wish I had. My thoughts are that the diets do work its the maintainence that doesn't always work for everyone. Unless your head is in the right place, or you have sorted out your demons & you are in control, there is no way you will maintain if you are a foody...

I know it is a long & very difficult journey to slimville, but just keep going & think about how good you are going to feel at the end of the journey. Remember you will achieve...

    diet habits

    I drink 2 litres of water by about 1pm. I sometimes will have a vanilla shake & st clements (mmm ice cream soda) about 11am or I have half a nut crunch with banana custard. If I've been busy I will sometimes have a whole nut crunch & banana shake/custard together, sometimes it can be as late as...

    Where's my energy gone?

    Hey Sez, I'm always tired & exhausted, I want to sleep for England, I have no energy for the gym. The stairs kill me every day. I'm not motivated to do any housework or do anything outside the home. Hopefully we'll feel better in management. I'm always hungry, but I think that is the chatterbox.

    Well done Yorkie girl, what an achievement. You have done so well with your weight loss. Good luck with management.

    Wow ISOM, what a difference & you look so much happier. Well done with the weight loss so far. Not sure when my OH will be loading my photo's, he is away a lot & I'm really not that technically minded, give me a group of kids & it's a breeze, but computors I struggle with. This week I bought a...

    Nearly finished Foundation

    Hi Tasty Tracey. yes I do think the low GI is an easy to follow eating plan. If you stick to unprocessed food you should be ok.

    TV Adverts

    I noticed the adverts at the start of the diet, infact if anyone mentioned anything remotely similar to food, I thought of food! The kids were talking about how big their muscles were & I had visions of seafood, they were moaning that someones feet smelt of cheese, I had visions of cheese &...

    Wow I was a good girl!

    Ahh thanks Betty Boo, I am so determined, because I've tried everything else & I know that this is my last attempt at being slim. I also know that this diet is easier first time around, I don't want to be a restarter half way through with my weight loss. I walked into town,(haven't done that for...

    Wow I was a good girl!

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to walk into town & buy myself some new sandals as a treat, just hope I can make it to the shopping centre before my bladder explodes. LOL Have a great day everyone.

    Nearly finished Foundation

    I've done Rosemary Connellys low GI diet class & before that ate food only from the low GI range. When I complete management, I plan to eat low GI food because it is the healthiest way to eat & it is a plan that is very easy to stick to in the long term.

    Back from my holidays...

    Well done sticking to abstinence throughout your holiday, you are braver than me & you look great in your bikini. I hope that you had a good holiday despite the problems you encountered. I believe that we are doing this diet for ourselves & no one else, if I get to my goal & I'm not comfortable...

    Wow I was a good girl!

    I took my youngest two to pizza hut for tea, I was prepared to have a lettuce leaf or tomato but I abstained through the whole meal! (It was a bit of a struggle) They ate pizza, salad & then ice cream with lots of gooey sauce & sickly chocolate & sweets on it, while I sat with my sparkling...

    An upbeat message from Sez- amazingly!!

    Sez, I'm so pleased for you, well done. You did so well around food. That must have been great your friends daughter not recognising you. Hopefully you'll stay on this high for a bit longer.

    low b/p again...

    Someone else had low blood pressure on here & it was suggested they add salt to their soups or drink some marigold to help bring their blood pressure back up. Have you spoken to your LLC ISOM?

    Now I am really really cross

    Ahh Yorkie girl, she sounds like a right b*tch, she is jealous that you've lost all the weight, does she have a weight problem herself? She doesn't want you to look better than her! She's just trying to find fault with the diet because she's jealous. If anyone had died through this diet I think...

    Week 15 and I seem to have stopped...

    Tiger Girl I think you answered all your own questions. I think that it is a combination of all the things you have said, but as you know it will average out & you will continue to lose the weight. Just stick at it because you have come so far & you don't want to give in now after all your hard...

    Accepting how you look after weight loss

    I know what you mean, I look thinner in clothes, but take them off & all I see are wobbly bits & an apron! My LLC said that even if we had lost all our weight we would still find fault with ourselves, she said there will always be parts of our body that we dislike or are not happy with. I think...

    People starting LL in March...

    Wow Isom I'm nearly the same as you, I'm 12 st 10lbs now (on my scales) from 17st 2lbs, but I only want to get to about 10 stone, because I'm 5ft 7", I think I would probably look quite ill if I went any further. I can't beleive how quick it is still coming off. I haven't weighed in properly for...

    Fainting on LL - has this happened to anyone else?

    I haven't fainted yet but I am constantly lightheaded. If I've bent down to get something out of the washing machine or cooker I always get a lightheadedness on getting up. Its a horrible feeling & I always know its coming which is worse. I've stopped going in the sauna at the gym because that...

    Well done little blue, I should have started development last Monday, but due to it being bank hols decided not to go. I was on week 12, so still had over 2 weeks to go. Our development will still be on a Monday, so there won't be much change just shorter class & different work book. I'm hoping...

    Week 1 Loss & Ketosis Test

    Hi Scotsnat, I think a lot of us have felt the same as you. As others have said you will lose 1 stone a month if you stick to abstinence & drink the water, it may be 1lb one week, 6lb the next but it will equate to on average a stone a month. It seems that the more you have to lose the quicker...

    Cheese and Crackers!!!!

    I'm so pleased you managed to lose 4lbs this week after your the terrible time you had, as Harri said maybe you should let head office know how difficult it has been, because this counsellor needs a kick up the backside. Good luck for your weekend.

    Going to Thorpe Park on Friday!

    Hi Sez, we went to Thorpe Park in October last year, I struggled to fit on some of the rides, I think I'd probably fit most of them now though! I can't wait until I'm a normal size, just to see how my body fits into everyday things like rides, restaurant seats with arms & lastly an aeroplane...

    Wk 3 weight lose

    What a great weight loss, well done. I found my goals difficult because over the last few years I have achieved all the things I've wanted to, or I've put into place the steps that I need to go through to achieve my goals, I eventually chose these after lots of thought, 1, to wear my wedding...
