Hi Kit I started on RTM when I was 11 pounds from my target weight, having lost 55 pounds after 17 weeks 100% abstinence. There were various functions coming up where I wanted to be part of the partying rather than alongside it so I made the decision to start RTM slightly earlier than I had...

Hello Mrs L My experience (although not a long-termer). I started LL on 11th April this year with my period on the 1st April. I then stopped having any periods or any symptoms. I started RTM on the 6th August and my period started 3 days ago - straight back to normal. I was amazed at my bodys...

Well done CC, its such a great feeling of achievement isn't it? It keeps getting better too so don't get too comfortable in your size 16's - in a couple of weeks you'll be getting into size 14's. : )

Hi Chunky Chicken Poor you. I have also fainted on LL when I was about 7/8 wks into it. Middle of the night, got up to go to the loo and fainted, knocking myself out. Was concerned at the time just like you and phoned my LLC (but not the doctors as didn't want to be told to stop doing it!!) and...

That's fantastic - so many milestones and still some to come - congratulations .

Hi - You've done and are doing really well - keep on track and ignore unhelpful comments from "well-meaning" friends and colleagues. Similar story to the other ones on this post - two friends of mine + families came round for lunch the other day arriving at separate times. One knows I am on LL...

Hi yo-yo I've been enjoying your posts particularly your food in the office tallys. I can so identify with that as our office is the same and I feel the same as you. Envious/jealous but do not want to eat - our time will come but in smaller portions this time!! Good luck with your LL journey. It...

Hi I'm on LL, 100% abstinence so far , and I've lost 34 lbs in 10 weeks. Good luck.

oh Trish - bad luck about the doctor. But please go on back and get the necessary stuff done because imo LL will be the best diet you've ever done. It really is worth it and you'll feel so much better in yourself in so many ways once you're on your way. Don't be disheartened :)

Hi Julie Welcome to LL - its the best diet known to woman (and man) and the people on minimins are really inspirational. Congrats on your weight loss - that's really good. I'm in my 10th wk so just a little bit further along the way. About WI's, at the moment I feel the opposite to you in...

Hi Same routine every day with slight variations in flavour. 6 - 8 a.m. 2 cups black coffee 7.30 - 8 a.m. vanilla milkshake mixed with 1 dstspoon Phyllium husk Morning/afternoon - 2/3 ltrs water, plain 1 p.m. Soup either mushroom or vegetable with black pepper 3 p.m.ish Peppermint tea 6-30-...

Well done - that's excellent. What a great achievement. :party0038:

Hi Juliakno I also know exactly how you feel. As the weeks go by (I'm in week 9), it's Friday evening and Saturday all day that are the worst. This last Saturday I was pacing the house because I felt so deprived/tempted/hungry (pick one or all)...and then on Sunday I was absolutely fine with no...

Hi arcticmonkey I'm feeling fine thanks - I hope you are too. I have been having 300 mls skimmed milk since last week (which I was quite reluctant to do - I feel like I'm cheating :confused:. But its just for one week and I feel that it has made a difference to the slight lightheadedness (is...

Hi arcticmonkey You poor thing - what a frightening experience for you. I'm doing LL (in my 9th week now) and last week a similar thing happened to me - not in public though, luckily at home. I got up to go to the loo early in the morning and fainted and knocked myself out. Felt very woozy for...

Hi Beth My LLC mentioned hair loss at our first meeting and recommended "Wella SP System Professional Energy Serum". I have also read on someone else's post about tablets from Holland & Barratts but I can't remember what they were called. Hopefully another poster will know. My friend who has...

I can just picture the puzzled look! Thanks for the advice re getting up slowly and not rushing - I do tend to get up very quickly so will try and slow that down. Also the weight loss advice, I was a bit upset at the time (not binge upset, TG) but there were also a couple of other ladies in the...

Hi Sarah thanks for your response - I'm relieved that I am not the only person that this has happened to (not that I want it to happen to anyone else but you know what I mean). Poor you and your bin..I fell on the carpeted floor fortunately and other than a slightly tender back of the head, feel...

I had my last pack at about 8 last night, couldn't wait any longer - it just sort of sits there shouting "drink me, drink me"! I'm sure it was something like that. About getting to goal, it still seems a long way off and I "only" lost 1/2 pound this week. I didn't think it was physically...

Thanks Cath. I will go to the doc's if it happens again. (just a bit nervous about going in case they recommend stopping LL which they probably will even though as you say it is more than likely low blood sugar)

Hi I sympathise - I also loved my chewing gum, in fact, was probably addicted to it as it replaced my smoking quite a few years ago and ALWAYS had a piece in my mouth. Another habit broken I hope though. and I haven't had a piece since I started LL over 7 wks ago.

Hi all Thanks for responding. I have taken it very easy today, still feel slightly out of it but thats probably due to the knock on the head - in fact, most of it probably is other than the initial faint and thats probably due to hopping out of bed quickly in my eager rush to get to the loo :)...

Hello I have been a lurker on this great site for a while now and have been inspired, motivated and educated by all you lovely people out there. But i know need a bit more advice. I am starting my 8th week of LL, have lost 24.5 pounds (don't forget the half!) and am v. chuffed with the loss so...

Hi everyone I have been lurking on this fantastic site for a while and thought it was time to say hello and thanks to all the inspirational LLifer's and others for posting such motivating, informative posts. I have read and am following so many blogs and threads that give me knowledge and...
