I did phone LL, immediately, they were sympathetic, but not very helpful. I will be going back to my orignial LL counsellor, even though the distance can be heavy going on the fuel cost, I like her and trust her. Better the devil you know scenario. Whether LL actually say anything to this...

I am furious. My counsellor is 30 miles away, but I've not been there for a few months. I wondered if I could try the newer counsellor closer to home and contacted her. Well I wish I hadn't. What an attitude. She was blunt and unsympathetic which left me in floods of tears. She suggested that I...

I am having trouble at times with getting to my LL meetings as they are too far away. Now I find out that there is a LLC now in my home town - Cardiff. I don't know if LL have been playing with the website, but I can't seem to find the list of UK LLC's on there. Does anyone here know of the...

CheeryDino and all interested in where it was done The studio was part of Doubletake Studios and I went to the one in Farringdon, London. Chose that one as it was near the British Museum and spent hours in there looking around all the Egyptian exhibits. The web address is Doubletake...

Thanks very very much guys for your multi strokes, I loved the day, I loved the photos and the clothes are my own, these I had to take with me, I would recommend this to everyone who wants to feel good about themselves. Its such a ego boost, I have seen photos of people of all shapes and sizes...

Some of you may remember I won a makeover, I went, it was FAB!!!!!!!!!, I loved it and here are the results. Please be kind :rolleyes: Message - MiniMins.com Photo Gallery

I am only 4lb off my target weight and I have decided to get on Management. I am comfortable in my size 10's and don't feel the excessive need to reach 9st anymore. However, I have hit a hard place. I am having such trouble bringing myself to eat. Wednesday & Thursday I chickened out and...

I'm glad I'm not alone there then :) ISOM - You are getting real slim girly - looking gooooooooooooood. Dom - Nice advice

Is it normal to have all these little lumps under your skin, is it where the fat has gone so quickly, then leaving what's left uneven? Its all over my body, from my head to my toes. I'm not unduly concerned about it, just really curious. :confused: Was wondering if anyone else had the same...

I have gone down from an 18 to a 12 and am loving all the new clothes I can fit into. I also like the way I am starting to look fully clothed and the people who comment about my weight loss (especially the postman LOL, he had me do a twirl today!!!!!!!!) But naked in the mirror...

LOL, I am going to buy that stuff right now If it works that fast

Same here, I am cooking all sorts, I don't do desserts, never have, the most adventurous has been rice pudding, but the last few weeks my family have stuffed themselves not only on the totally new dinners, but luxury baked vanilla cheesecake with a shortcake base, dark chocolate gateaux and...

I have just come home from my LL session and we are just entering our 11th week, I asked to be measured so from my record book I have lost 5 inches on the bust, 9 inches on my waist and 4 inches off my hips and my total loss is 2.2 stone It's incredible that I have lost 9 inches on my waist...

I originally was an 8 -10 at 9 stone pre-child So in dream land I would love to go back to that. As it happens, I have been told that 8-10 back when I was that size would be a 6-8 in sizes these days, so I am a little confused in where the size change happened.

Eventhough my actual weight loss is not as rapid as some people in my group (my average is 2-3lb week), my dress size loss is much more dramatic. Before starting I was a size 18, but today, I have been parading in front of the mirror in some clothes that my mother treated me to. These were...

I also drink rooiboos and oolong tea too, they are both supposed to be just fine. rooiboos is what my colonic doctor said that people should drink to make them "regular" and oolong, which is a chinese leaf tea is the one that Oprah swears helped her lose weight because of the fat burning...

:wow: woooohoooo, well done, your on your way to some great weight loss :scale:

I had the same feeling in my 9th week, I was starving all last week, and it drove me nuts, I was drowning in water, so I am conviced it was my body screaming at me to feed it proper food. However, this week, I have been fine (apart from my choccy mishap last night), but I haven't really felt...

I am taking a hot water bottle to bed every night, I have huge fluffy socks that are normally only out for winter and I am only warm now because I just did 30 mins on my excercise machine. I feel it more at night, and then get really miserable

I am in my 10th week and will ask to be measured on Wednesday, however at 5 weeks, I had lost 1st 6lb and had lost 2.5" on the bust, 2.5" on the hips and 5" on the waist, I was thrilled then.........................so I am hoping that I will have lost another few inches. On another note, has...

Awwwwwwww, thanks again guys, you do say the loveliest things, after waking up this morning, I didn't feel so bad. It can be quite hard at times cooking for the family, as I promised myself that I would carry on as normal and my family would not suffer at all with me on this diet. I have...

Blimey...................I hope I do that well, well done you, and before the end of foundation too, that's a hell of feat. I am walking in your footsteps as I speak :D

The ice cream sounds lovely, I actually had a warm shake, after adding the warm water it became really bubbly and light, absoloutly wonderful

Thanks guys, it means a lot reading your support, and also that others know how I feel. I am peeved with myself that I wasn't strong enough to stop myself though But at least I stopped there, it could have been worse, I could have eaten the whole damn cake.

I am in the 10th week and food got the best of me I just couldn't help myself eventhough my better self was screaming at me to stop :break_diet: I have totally messed up I was making a dark chocolate mousse cake and I put the mousse into the bowl to put in the fridge and the mixing bowl was...

In Search of Me - I noticed he had framed pics of his cat around, and she was sneaking around the back of the house, a beautiful smokey gray and white female. I will be going back to him once I get back to eating normal food to have myself tested for trigger foods. He does a food allergy...

I dropped about 2lb, but it was the feeling of enlightenment that I enjoyed, it was an incredible feeling. I went to him because I have had bowel problems since I was a child and have periods where I may not visit the loo for about 10-14 days, but then I have pretty bad cramps and end up taking...

I find Sundays especially hard as I don't seem to get in my full quota of water and my weight loss always comes to a dead stop for the rast of the week. As hard as I try, my cleaning or washing or cooking just gets the best of me and I forget to drink. It is a real pain

I went through a large wardrobe session last night and was parading in front of my mirror. Thank god no-one was looking, as was acting like a bloody supermodel LOL Eventhough I have only dropped 2 stone so far I have dropped several dress sizes from an 18 to a 12. So many of the clothes that...

went to Dr Talwar in Caerau, Cardiff - see list (he is the one right down the bottom) This list will give you the location of all the recommended ones in Wales. Colonic Irrigation Clinics Wales | Colon Hydrotherapist Directory In searching the site, it will also give you other areas of the...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that has started me off salivating too, that is a definite taster in my books, will be giving that a go next week when I pick up some more nut bars, yummy :drool:

Love them, Love them, Love them The banana one is def my favourite and the strawberry comes in a close second. I also do my shakes quite thick and I put the banana one in the freezer for a while and stirred and it was like a macdonalds thick shake - yummy

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After years of ummming and aaaaaaring, I finally got off my butt and went for a colonic hydrotherapy session. What an enlightening experience that is I can highly recommend it to anybody I FEEL FANTASTIC Thanks to In Search of Me for recommeding me to, I think, one of the...

I have waited 2 years to be slim again. I have recently found out why I put on weight and harboured food and am glad to get it all out in the open. I am much happier with every pound I lose and would not even subconciously sabbotage something I have yearned and tried for so long. Great...

Kazz, that makes total sense, the reality in what you HAD to do to get what you really want is a hell of a shock to the system if you sit down and think about it long enough. :hug99:

Had my LL session Wed night, got back to pick hubby up from his parents and they had been late ordering the chinese. He looked over extremely apologetic. I sat in the living room on my own when they were all eating and promptly burst into tears. I was so upset and couldn't quite put my...

Well done digger, I bet you felt like the world was your oyster flavoured food pack :)

what a fantastic and incredible overall weighloss, you must be over the moon. I hope to do half that by week 9. Well done :)

Thanks guys, I have been glowing all day. Good luck Heaven Can Wait, I really hope that your loss is good, but if not, then not to worry, as it does seem to even itself out just like all these great guys said on here to me last week.

:D :D :D After last week's disapointing 1lb loss last week, I was aprehensive about today, eventhough I have been almost drowning in water. Anyway, my weigh-in was 5lb, and then the counsellor asked if we wanted our measurements taken. I was gobsmacked to find that in 5 weeks I had lost 2.5...

Oh Bumpy, you have been treated pretty shoddily by both your LLC and HO. I have read many complaints (not on this forum) about LLC's in various areas and also about complaints to HO about various things that have been dismissed. The LL course is not cheap, and with the amount that you invest...

I wouldn't concern yourself too much over a little thing like that. I think that the worry is with doing that with many people is that they can't stop at that quarter. By the time they know it, they have eaten a whole punnet and then feel rotten over it. I can't see it doing you any harm...

I have scales at home which not only weighs but give my fat% content too. At the moment, in the morning at a naked weight of 12.05 stone on sunday, my fat% was 38, now with an increase to 12.3 stone my fat% is 35 - so it just shows that I have increased by 3% bodymass of water. I am another...

awwwwwwww, I know exactly how you feel as I only lost 1lb myself this week too. But I am positive about my next weeks weigh in, and I am sure that you will lose more next week as I have been told that the weight loss with even itself out. Chin up and don't dispair xxxxx

:superwoman:Hey, well done, I am just waiting to drop out from obese into overweight - so I can imagine how eleated your must be feeling now

Mine is due in the week and I seem to be putting weight on now, is that right eventhough I have uipped my water?

Well done, you have lost a fantastic amount of weight in your foundation period, have no doubt that you will be just as successful during development.

From what I can gather, as they are only 125 cals per shake or a little more for a bar, it doesn't seem to affect the digestion late at night like a normal diet, the worse that can happen is that you get a little indegestion or heartburn from lying down to quick after eating/drinking

I am on week 5 now My losses have been Week 1 - 7lb Week 2 - 4lb Week 3 - 3lb Week 4 - 1lb

I wont have any problem drinking that much milk as I truly love the stuff, but I am confused to how a week before the end of the standard 100 days is going to benefit you, surely taking you out of ketosis and then taking you back for a week is just silly, although I know I will be in development...

Thanks guys, after a good cuddle from my darling hubby and a great nights sleep I woke up feeling much better and a lot less deflated than yesterday. I have really gone for it today on the water and am trying now to get over 4 litres a day and to get at least 15 mins of excersise in too...

The fact that your whole routine and outlook to food has changed, you find that the smallest thing relating to food will irritate you. I cannot sit with people eating at the moment as I get pangs of jealousy, not that I am regretting the diet. So I go away and have some alone time. I am...

The raspberry smoothie sounds really lovely, I do have ice cubes in my shake from time to time, and I have a smothie maker, but never put the 2 together DOH! I did make a shake last night on the recommendation of another group member who also happens to be a regular poster on here - that was a...

I also struggle with the water, although it is easier now with the water flavourings, however I had a bad weekend and barely drunk at all, and since then, I have lost barely anything at all. So I have to really push the amount of water that is taken to try and do my 4 litres and more. On a...

I am also obsessed by weightloss, I pop in here every evening, I talk about it to my hubby relelntlessly, I am lookng at clothes that are far too small for me, and even started buying size 10 clothes. My scales are used every morning and evening to make sure that I haven't put too much water on...

I am really disappointed today that I only lost a pound in wieght, I know why, its because Sunday and Monday (easter bank hols) I had terrible trouble with the water. I was so busy at home that my routine was all to pot and managed 2.5 litres on Sunday and 1.5 litres on Monday. According to...

wow - that is superb, well done, that is an amazing drop and only half way through your abstinence.......... so let us in on your secret the.............lots of water................excersise..............or just pure damn luck!!!!!!!!! :)

Feeling the cold was a definite low point for me, but a willing hubby to warm up cold toes and a trusty hot water bottle soon put that away. After the first week, it was all guns blazing. As a carrot to the donkey, I bought some size 10 clothing and when I do get a down day, I look at them on...

Hi everybody I started LL in Mid March and so far am pretty much enjoying it and looking forward to the weigh-in sessions every Wednesday - am with a good bunch of girls of all ages, all with a witty sense of humour, so the 2 hours fly pretty quickly with good banter and a few jokes about the...

I have to be honest cheerydino, I hadn't thought about adding it to fizzy water, infact, I had not thought about fizzy water at all DOH!!!!!!!. Tasty Tracey - it is my weigh in tomorrow so will be replenishing my food bag and cannot wait to try these honeycomb style bars, my mouth is drooling...

The thought of management is both exciting and worrying, eventhough I am on week 5, I keep thinking far ahead to where I can have a lowly breast of chicken LOL. But I do love my food and really enjoy my cheese and wine. Can I have a little of all I like and still keep the weight off or do I...

Oooooh I like the sound of the nut bar sprinkled with a little salt to taste like peanuts, and also the choc and raspberry shakes mixed, however I didn't like the chocolate shake as hot chocolate and had trouble drinking it, however, I think I will try it again with some coffee, I have tried the...

Thanks guys for the welcome :D I am actually enjoying the diet to date and finding that I am cooking more and more for the family - it must be the sadistic side of me coming out LOL. I find myself looking forward to my meals, I still struggle a little after 3litres of water. I am going to...

I am 4 weeks into the LL diet and new to this forum and have been reading it with great interest, I love the way you guys give so much support to each other if things get down and how much you sing someones praises when they do well. I was curious to what everyone's favourite flavour...
