Well done. Those pics are amazing x

Well done on your start. I'm hoping to feel nicer in my clothes on my next holiday too. Good luck for your first weigh in x

Just want to say hello. I have done loads of diets with success but have not been able to keep the weight off. On 1 January 2014 I cut out wine and bread from my diet and started to eat healthy, the results are pretty good. This is going to be a long haul but a complete lifestyle change.

Day 3 Slept better last night and no headache this morning. Got weighed this morning and scale is moving nicely, I dont know how much as scales are still on kg. Will convert to lbs lost at the end of week one. Have had a lemon and yogurt bar and a black coffee with tablet sweetener. Used a...

I started on 01/01/13 - weighed myself in kg so it wasnt so much of a shock. Was going to do 4 packs but ended up doing 3 with veg and protein both days. Day 1. Bar, banana shake, macaroni cheese with 100g white fish and 200g mixed cauliflour and brocolli. Day 2. Bar, banana shake, mushroom...

Day 1 for me today as well. Wish me luck x

Well starting slim and save for the first time on 01/01/13. I have 28days of pack-will be doing the 4 packs a day. People have mentioned Coke Zero. Can I have it and if I can how much per day? Thanks in advance for replies x

:wave_cry: Im back again. This time seems different, Iam off my anti-depressants and seem to have my willpower back big time. Day 13 now and can feel a difference already with my clothes and I feel great. :D

I quite liked it considering I dont like any of the other soups. It definately is very spicy and the back of my throat is on fire so now drinking a pint of water x

Off to try my first curry soup now - will let you know how I get on :rolleyes: x

Thanks everyone and well done on your own losses. Also good luck for anyone getting weighed today. It was first time for our group to meet each other last night and they all seem great and are really excited at starting LL - I have a feeling that we are all going to do well x

Thats another 3 gone for me - well chuffed x

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of times you can use Mousse Mix with a pack each day? Thanks in advance x

I did LL 3 years ago. Lost all my weight felt great and didnt do management stage. On my restart I weighed 14st 2lb too- spooky or what? I dont know anyone who has kept it off but I will definately do management this time x

Well done MaxiMoo x

My LL lady briefly mentioned this to me last night on a drop in. Has anyone heard of this? She said she would have to read up on it to see if it was worth it. Official start date on LL including classes Friday 14th January :D.

I Sky+ it and it was quite good. I love to watch any weight related TV x

My keto stix showed I was in ketosis yesterday which was day 4 for me on LL. Also last night I tried the mousse mix using a blender - put 200ml of sparkling water into blender, add food pack and then add 2 teaspoons of mousse mix. Put in fridge for 10mins and it was a perfect mousse - no...

Good luck. Iam on day five and definately feel I have lost weight already :D x

Thats day one done and I can honestly say I feel better already. Can anyone help with a ticker - can get into ticker factory and create one but it wont let me cut and paste - thanks in advance x

I have been working all through Christmas and New Year but back to work on Wednesday. Im dreading going back as there will be the usual comments from colleagues - eg I hope you are not doing that daft diet again!!! It works if you stick to it and I just need to master maintaining the weight loss x

Im restarting from today-using some spare packs as my LL is on her holidays until 11th. Have had a chilli pack and a banana one so far - think I would rather eat cat food than the chilli one (forgot how bad they tasted) - roll on bars x

Iam starting today again!! Gonna use the food packs that I have for the minute as LL lady is on her holidays - Just had a Chilli pack - not nice x

Well done on your decision. Your post sounds a bit like my situation - everyone says why are you on a diet you look fine? I dont feel fine with the extra weight. It effects my social life as I keep turning down invitations to go out as I hate my body. I havent lost a lot but I am...

:cry:Done most of the diets out there with some success but never manage to keep the weight off. Decided SW sounds like the best/healthiest option. I work shifts to my meals are sometimes in a strange order. Was upset when STS last weigh in and even more upset when I have according to my...

Well done on your success so far x

Today has been fine - thanks everyone for the good wishes. Had a Celebrity Slim bar for breakfast and had a LL Vanilla shake blended with coffee and heated up in microwave - it was really nice - need to drink more water though. Fun will start tomorrow when I am back at work since restarting...

Thanks Linda. You are doing really well too.

Im over the moon 9lb gone in the first week :kissass::kissass::kissass:. I know I can do it now. Have updated my ticker to include the pounds I lost on WW in 6 weeks. Hope everyone is doing well x

Thats day 6 done and now on day 7. Not much to day today but still on straight and narrow. I think o/h is trying to sabotage my attempts - he came home from the supermarket yesterday with four little bottles of red wine for me - told him I wasnt happy as he knows no normal food or drink. I...

Thanks Lucy The closeness in stats and start date is scary between us. We gonna have to keep a close eye on each other to keep on the straight and narrow. :D Bacause I am an inch taller than you I wonder how much that extra inch weighs?? Good luck and keep posting x :happy096:

Well done Allymc x:clap:

Thanks Linda. Thats day 5 under my belt and today is day 6. Felt really proud last night o/h and an indian takeaway last night and wine. I was up later than him and after he went to bed to bed the remains of his takeaway were left out - and the wine. I put it away and never touched any at...

Thanks Linda. Im in the pink :D:D:D gone from like a nude colour to pink so I take it Iam in ketosis. Thats Day 4 under my belt and Im now on Day 5. Everyday it feels easier everyday and I am sure I feel a bit slimmer - hope so. My friend went on holiday on Tuesday and will see her again...

Well done Hannah. 2lb is great - my mum always says imagine carrying round a bag of sugar all day! - thats 2lb (according to her) x

Thanks Kik It is still quite expensive. Once I have used up my stockpile and got my holiday over I will make enqs with my LL lady. Thanks again x

Doing my own weigh-ins on a Monday morning because Im not going to a group - doing it to use my stock pile of packs. I work shifts times may vary on a Monday. Got some ketostix from Asda pharmacy- not sure what colour Im looking for :talk017: x

Good luck for w/i everyone x

Hi all Im on day 4 LL, CD, W8, CS (mixed packs as going it alone at minute). Most of my packs are LL - Im not really hungry now but yesterday I was. I took a pic of myself on my mobile in underwear and look at it when I feel hungry-not a nice sight so hopefully it will keep me on track...

My favourite is mixing a vanilla pack in a cup with a little hot water until it is like a thick batter. Pour it onto a microwave proof dinner plate- put in microwave for approx 90 seconds - keep a close eye on it so not to burn until the side lifts up just like a pancake. Sprinkle a little...

Thanks everyone- see update on my LL diary. Found old LL bar and managed to get some Celeb Slim bars from Superdrug-they have a similar carb, fat and calories to LL ones £2.49 each x

Thanks everyone. Tried to order bars on line but for some reason card wouldnt work. Checked internet banking and plenty money there. Found one lighterlife bar in an old work bag. Been to Superdrug and bought some Celebrity Slim bars - they appear to have just about the same carbs, fat and...

Thanks Linda Will try their web site x

Bars As mentioned earlier I have no bars!!! Does any one know if there are any which will not spoil the plan that I can buy over the counter. Like slimfast etc etc? Thank you x

Thats day 2 under my belt. Now into day 3 - the little eat some food voices were calling last night, opened the fridge to look what was in there but I closed the door and drank water!! Felt awful yesterday - tired, headache and jaw was aching as if I had been clenching my teeth :sigh:. Feel...

Kik well done on your first weeks loss. Can you tell me how much it is a week on LLL and is there any criterea for lite on the amount of weight you have to lose?

Good news car passed MOT. Had loads of free black coffee at the garage while I waited. Having my 1st shake of the day - strawberry with mousse mix. Did it in a blender and its still lumpy!! Never mind will give me something to chew on x:17729:

Thats day one over. :D Feeling positive for today day 2. On holiday from work at the minute and that makes things easier to get into a routine. I work shifts in a quite stressful job and its when I finish late at night and the wine, crisps and cheese normally call my name :cry:. Will let...

Unfortunately I only have supplies of foodpacks and no bars :cry: have none left. Bars were the highlight of my day first time around :break_diet:x

Thanks kik. First evening of day one its going ok but just need to get the first week over. x

Thanks Lind. You are doing really well x

Thank you. Cambridge taste nicer but I feel fuller on LL.

Well here I go again! Lost the weight about 3 years ago on LL unfortunately thought I could go it alone and I put it all back on plus more. :eek: At the minute I cant go back to class for financial reasons so I have about 5 weeks LL food packs, some CD and W8 packs. Im going to have to make...

:wave_cry:Im starting Lighterlife foodpacks again today. Iam unable to go to classes for financial reasons. I have approx 5 weeks LL packs plus some Cambridge packs and W8 packs. Does anyone know if I use the LL,CD and W8 packs together will this effect my weight loss? Please help x

Im going to do it this time as well. I start tomorrow.

Just thought I would say hello. Done loads of diets over the years and starting WW tomorrow 20/05/10. Im doing it on-line first to see how it goes. :wave_cry:

My hunger seemed to pass after about 3-4 days so you should be there now. Hope you are doing well x

Hi all 1st weigh in - 6lb :D 2nd weigh in - 4lb :D Im happy with loss so far but have been doing an hour of WII fit/lets dance per day just to try to speed up the process. I mentioned this to my LL lady who said doing the exercise will not speed up the weight loss. Has anyone any advice...

Thanks everyone. Great news - first weigh in after only three whole days and I have lost 6lb!!! :angel:Im absolutely over the moon it has given me the motivation to carry on x

Im only on day 2 today. Yesterday was really tough, I cant ever remember it being that bad the first time round. Went to bed early last night and working overtime tonight so that will keep me busy. Dont know how much I weigh as I told LLC that I didnt want to know. Think Iam about 13st...

Thanks for the reply. You are doing really well x

Its my first day back on Lighterlife today and Iam determined to do it. Its getting to the difficult time in the evening where I would normally have a couple of glasses of wine and some nibbles. Im not going to give in though. Good luck on CD x

Lost 3 stones 2 and half years ago and put it all back on plus more through not going to LL management. :cry: Its my first day back on LL today, feeling positive about the diet. I know I can do it and dream of wearing my smaller clothes again. :)

Just had WI :worthy:Just had my official WI and thought I had put on 1lb on all inclusive hol to Egypt and I am over the moon - my weight has stayed exactly the same :D. Back on SS today and Iam determined to lose the rest.:)

LL ones taste like salty MDF - not that I ever ate it! - MDF I mean

Holiday break Just come back from5 * all inclusive from Egypt last night - 7 nights and didnt have the holiday trots like most people. Was a little cautious - and alcohol in moderation and a little swimming - up 1 pound so well happy and next weight in tomorrow 12th .

Re Belt I bought one about 5 weeks ago and use it every day. It has worked a little but only I can tell the difference but I have been doing other exercise as well. Also I go through a set of batteries about once a week. Its not a miracle worker and you would probably be better off and it...

:confused: I have spots! Hi there will have been on CD 100% for 4 weeks on 5th June. Im 42 years old and normally have quite greasy skin with the odd pimple at TOM. My skin seems really dehydrated and I have loads of spots which will not budge. Im drinking about 6-7 pints of water a day...

Wii I find the wii fit a godsend. It gives me the motivation to carry on as you can do a body test every time you use it and shows you your weight and bmi - thats if you want to see it. I have not done any exercise for the past ten years or so due to a knee injury. I had knee surgery in...

2 hours on Wii fit step freestyle - you can watch normal tv while doing basic step. The Wii remote makes a noise to keep you in time. I work shifts so if im off I normally watch daytime tv - this way I still get to watch the programmes and get some exercise. xx

I worried as Iam going to Egypt on 3rd June 5* all inclusive. I plan to swim for at least an hour a day and eat healthily. But cant promise not to drink alcohol. Im going for 7 days and if I have gone up when I come back I will just have to do extra time on the wii fit xx

Panic over :D Did 2 hours on the wii fit freestyle step (11770 steps) and that did the necessary. Thanks advice xx

Thanks will give it ago. :p

CD and constipation Thanks for the advice think it may be a trip to the doctors for some industial strength ones! :)

:eek: On CD ss at minute and having a little difficulty re toilet habits. Have tried Senokot extra, sillium husks and Dulcolax and still nothing any advice please? :cry: Also forgot to mention drinking 4 pints of water per day at least and also about 3 cups of black coffee with tablet sweetener...

:p:p Hi there Been viewing this site for a while. Just started the Cambridge Diet and looking for inspiration. I have done every diet under the sun and manage to lose all the weight and promptly put it all back on again every single time. This time I am determined to keep it off. Start date...
