Thanks! Do you think I can take 6 syns off for the bread? It was malt bread. Oh dear. What a silly silly indulgence!!!

Hiya! I had my weigh in yesterday and lost another 2lb! So very pleased and it's really boosted my motivation.. yay x

4lb? that's amazing! well done you! big big big pat on the back. xxx

Hi Rose! is it weigh in day today??? Good luck! Nothing like a good dose of house work to burn off those lbs! It sounds like you're doing great. i had another great day yesterday. My boyfriend's best mate came by for dinner, and I cooked fresh pizza, cooked meats and cheeses, fresh bread, yummy...

Ah thanks Rose. Hope you're having a good weekend? How was the weigh in? I went to a BBQ today and have been feeling guilty ever since... I had half a portion of brownie which I'm strictly not allowed and instantly feel fat which is just stupid. V cross with myself, but then this is the...

Bless you. Here's some of my fave meals - sorry they may be a bit boring, I tend to make things that are easy to take to work! Hope they help inspire a little. Tuna Nicoise salad Tuna, egg, green beans, salad, balsamic dressing Cottage cheese salad or left over roasted veg (I like this as it...

Hi lovely! Congrats on your loss, that's mega. I'm on my 5th week of LLL now, and yes, I'm afraid the manky taste probably means you're in ketosis. Not everyone gets it, but I do and I agree it's ming! You can try to limit it by drinking peppermint tea and carrying a little bottle of...

Hi Rose - how you getting on? I'm down with a horrible and nasty cold. It's been such a struggle as I'd normally take all the over the counter meds avaialble to me and suck on lozenges all day for my sore throat, but as they contain sugar, I can't on this diet. I have kept fluid intake high...

*Warning food talk!* I had a lovely weekend, beginning with a massive food shop on Saturday as I had friends coming that evening for dinner. I laid on a massive spread of: Starter: 2 types of baked camembert (Pesto and Sunblushed tomatoes, Rosemary and Garlic) served with fresh tiger baguette...

Rose, I did it! Not one sip of alcohol all night! I didn't even miss it to be honest. I drank sparkling water, danced my socks off, had a brilliant time. I thought it would cut my night short, but I stumbled into bed at 3am, so only had 3.5 hours sleep and I feel hungover but now I realise...

I couldn't make my meeting yesterday but according to my scales at home (which have been matching up to my weigh ins) - I've lost 3lb this week! Woo! Going to a big party tonight and have spent the week debating whether or not to allow myself a drinkie, but I've decided after such a good loss...

Thanks Rose! Been off the boards for a wee while... It's been so busy! So this weekend was interesting! I visited my family and they haven't seen me since the start of me going onto LLL. All noticed I'd lost some weight and were positive - it felt good. I know my mum doesn't agree with the...

Yesterday was fine, and now today: B: LL porridge LL bar L: Home-made Chilli D: LL shake Another straight forward day! x

And another 1lb down! Not as big a loss as I'd hoped, but still highly motivated as I feel like my clothes are definitely getting looser and I feel so much healthier. B: Missed as was in a rush for work! L: Chilli LL Bar Mid-afternoon: LL shake D: LL porridge Got to keep going! x

Ah fabulous! Wish the weather was nice enough for a skirt, it's gone really grey and miserable again. Where did spring go? Yesterday was fine but I'm struggling with the drinking water. I completely forget at work as I'm sooo busy, so I need to make an effort. Saying that - I've only had 3...

Good weekend overall despite feeling really low Sat about missing out on so many social occasions. I decided I needed something fun to do with my other half, so we decided we would eat out on Sunday but I tried my best to choose options that fit into the LLL plan. Sat: LL Porridge LL bar LL...

Thanks for the recipe - going to try it this week! How are you guys finding it at the moment? I'm now starting week 4 - weigh in on Wed (changed groups from Mondays so got to wait a bit longer to find out my loss this week!) I was feeling positively miserable on Saturday as I was...

I can't wait for the warmer weather Rose. I love the time of year where you can leave the house without a coat and ditch the boots for flip flops! Yesterday was a good day, despite having to battle with myself - this time over crisps and the obstacle of a night out. Before starting LLL, I used...

Thanks hon! Read your other thread - sounds like you're having a good positive day which is lovely to hear. I also feel like I've turned a corner as yesterday was a blue day... but today - no thoughts about food or obsessing about 'what i can't eat'. Yay. Menu: B: LL porridge L: Ham salad...

Amazing weight loss Tilley. Hope you're having a good day today? I've managed okay so far, but find that I'm obsessing and thinking about food a lot more than usual. Just need to keep my mind busy! xxx

I guess it's all about re-training the mind and keeping boredom at bay! Good luck tonight (keep away from those snacks!) xxx

Thanks Rose. Been really obsessing about food today. I don't know what's got into me! So I ended up going to the supermarket at lunchtime, forgoing my food packs and getting lots of ham, salad, cucumber, gherkins and low fat dressing - and had my meal at lunchtime to get my mind off it! It seems...

Hi Joy! I'm on Lite too and just wondered how you're getting on? I'm sure you haven't gained weight, remember your body is probably just adjusting to processing the new meal you've introducted to your day. You're still in negative equity in terms of calories your body needs to function, so...

Yesterday was a good day! Stuck to the plan to the letter... B: LL Porridge Mid morning: LL bar L: LL Banana shake D: Tuna with home-made coleslaw, left over veggie and chickpea curry. Gosh the dinner doesn't sound very appetising but I didn't eat them together! I needed to up my protein so...

:O( It's so frustrating that you've hit a brick wall in terms of getting help. When is your appointment in May? Hope it's not too long to wait xxx

Thanks Lift and Rose! Feel super happy :O) Hope you guys have a good evening too x

I feel for you honey. I too have PCOS, and although not trying to conceive, totally empathise with the prolonged bleeding. I have to take the contraceptive pill otherwise I have 6 week long periods with only a few days relief. It makes me feel gross! When I had this issue recently with a low...

Good luck with the weight loss! Sounds good. I'm doing Lighter Life Lite (so three foodpacks, one protein rich meal), but hope once I've lost the weight to maintain by sticking to a predominantly low carb diet. I just feel so much healthier without carbs! I think your meals sound great. Do...

Thank you! I lost 2lb. It's less than I hoped but safely safely, slowly slowly - and I keep telling myself 5lb in two weeks is terrific. I started a new group near work who seem far more in tune with the needs of counselling than my previous group so I'm feeling very optimistic! xxx

Just realised I haven't read your most recent posts so my response made little sense! Oopsy. "Talked in class about red devil and White angel thoughts and one of my main ones was having others at the group who tell me week on week how they cheated and it makes me go away thinking I'm 'silly'...

Incredible losses, and you're so right - you can't solve the world's problems and I know it's hard, but you have to keep a thick skin around those who try and off load their troubles on you. Try to concentrate on your happiness for once - it's not selfish to seek happiness and look after...

Hi everyone, hope you all had successful weekends. Warning read no further if you want to avoid food talk! My weekend was really successful. I don’t know how I did it really... Saturday I went to the hairdressers, had my haircut, coloured and blow dried and it made me feel really fresh. I...

Are you keeping from having milk in tea and coffee for a reason? I'd pop some in! Might help settle the tummy. I swear, my bf recorded my tummy last weekend as it was making the loudest noises ever. Literally sounded like the grinch! But I didn't feel hungry, it just felt like gas and water...

Just an update to my food diary today - warning for those following abstinence - Food talk here. Brekkie: LL Porridge Mid-morning: LL Bar Lunch: Hot smoked salmon flakes, 3 bean salad, salad, mint vinaigrette Dinner: LL Shake Still feel heady and dizzy. Not my favourite day! x

Thanks Rose! Yep think I'll have a meal with him tomorrow. I'm struggling to concentrate at work and feel a bit dizzy today, so should probably have a meal now anyway. Unfortunately, my bf works 66 miles away from me so lunch isn't possible! I think we can live without joint mealtimes for...

Hi Tilley, We started LLL at around the same time! I was also feeling really good and energetic, today been a bit dizzy. Do you get that? Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope the meeting helps to keep you on track. Big hugs during this tricky time xxx

Thanks for the encouragement! Today is a bit of a struggle to be honest. My usual routine is: 6.45am - LL Porridge 1pm - meal 4.30pm - LL bar 8.30pm - LL shake Staggering it this way has really worked for me so far, with no hunger pangs or cravings. But today - I've had my porridge as...

Tanners I totally empathise with the hunger. It's my second week on LLL, and despite being in ketosis (I did one of those sticks), this morning I've found I'm struggling to stagger my food packs as I normally do. I usually have the LL Porridge at 6.45am, lots of coffee and water, and another...

Hi Lozz, Are you still on LL or the Lite plan? Firstly I just wanted to congratulate you for your weight loss so far. 8 weeks of abstinence is amazing, and I really admire that. I know it must be hard being around temptation at home, but I guess what might help it to create a routine...

Hi everyone, I joined LLL on 7 March weighing 133lb, BMI being 26.1. My target is to lose 21lb. My first weigh in was a 3lb loss, and I was really pleased as I'd only been able to stick with it for 6 days out of the 7 but had discussed this with my counsellor before starting. I work long...

Hi thanks for your replies, and good luck for starting again! It's so motivating being on this diet, although I do understand the sessions are important - I find my counsellor pretty terrible. I'm going to give her a chance as I've only seen her twice, but she's a very headstrong bullish...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself as I’ve been reading the boards and think the support on here is really useful. I’m 28, and joined LLL on 7 March. My first weigh in was yesterday and I lost 3lb which I was delighted with as I’d stuck to LLL solidly apart from Friday for a...

Oh deary me... Intentions were good but managed to cause some syn damage this weekend! Friday syns totalled 35, and Saturday syns totalled 20. Can't blame anything but a lack of planning, and low will power!!! Yesterday I got by on 1.5 syns, and today I'm trying to do similar to rectify some...

Yes - I'll be counting the bread as HexB - and I'm aware I need to fill up on fruit and veg but I'm in dire need of a food shop! Tomorrow I'll hit the shops. I don't think sushi must use much oil but I was thinking of adding 3 syns just in case???

Hello all! I'd really appreciate your wisdom if you have time to read my diary as I am just getting my head around the whole Slimming World thing. I started on Tuesday 7 July, lost 1lb in my first week. My weigh ins are on Tuesday evenings. Green day: B: Muller light 2 x wholemeal toast from...

Thanks guys... I was so full and bloated last night but think it was because I had a whole tin of beans on my jacket potato for tea - not because I was hungry.. but because I knew I could! LOL Ax

Hello, thought I would quickly introduce myself to the board as a newbie! I started on Slimming World online with my first day being yesterday. I'm finding it quite tricky getting my head around the whole 'free food' thing, and managed to eat way too much yesterday and suffered bloating all...
