Hi All Just came back from a drop in session with my counsellor and she told us that they have recieved an email from LL HQ to say that all LLC in the UK cannot reorder any more new bars in january if they run out as LL HQ have run out, they hope to have the problem resolved by the end of...

Hello...well i am officially 8 months and two days into lighter life...and I have lost just over 9 stone in that time. I have been 100% abstinent throughout so i am mentally and physically exhausted, RTM is in sight...but need to feel ready....just want to get it over and done with now but it's...

Hi Zomble thank you! There are a few ways look at this link How do I measure my body fat percentage? | Answers | Mansized or Body Fat Percentage the easier one is using tanita scales which you can buy or your doctor should have the scales or a way of doing it. My gym has tanita scales so i...

Hee hee guess what Dave Erika is my LLC locum she is amazing we met her on week 3 and all we could do was stare because she was full proof then and there LL works! She is very nice in real life too! lol Mad

You look fantastic! Keep going it's worth it i promise you... I have been reading another thread you put about age and lighter life group. I am 24 years old and started lighter 7 months yesterday (1st December)...in my group i was the youngest and like everyone has said it takes time for the...

I went through a process of having two bars a day...it started back in late september when i went away with work to portugal and because it was a social function (charity golf event) and i would be working none stop and surronded by catered food i felt it would be easier to have two bars a day...

Hello Tiger Girl and Peanut thank you both for replying really appreciate it and thank you so much for you lovely strokes as well. :) Tiger Girl - I think i've got 1 stone to go before i think i will be 'ready' for RTM if one is ever really ready i am not sure. I think like you after 150 days...

Hi All Sorry i know a thread like this has been started before but can't find it. I am currently thinking about RTM but would really be greatful if all the minis on RTM can tell me how much weight they have lost whilst on management? And now when i say thinking about it....i don't actually...

Hi Monkey Take a look at this http://www.minimins.com/lighter-life-forum/26107-mrs-lards-guide-lighterlife-route-management-how-not-do.html which will hopefully help. Mad

Thanks so much Mrs L! Love reading your posts as always....I am actually glad to be in with the heating on, several layers, electric blanket, scraf, hat and gloves on (ketosis what fun....can you tell i am cold?!?!) but i am happy to feel this because LL has helped me achieve so much!! How i...

Just echoing what everyone has said...as you continue you will find which flavours or combinations work for you. The new bars are a blessing....for the last 18 weeks i have only had the choc shakes and bars I like the shake as i can have them hot, cold, ice cream...in coffee and only this week...

Me too tracey, can't wait till the day i can write a post like yours too! I am finally at a bmi of 25 after 201 one days on LL and 100% abstinence. I still have a little way to go until i reach my goal but my body is now going on go slow which i was adviced would happen so that's fine. I have...

Ditto I am on week 28 in development (scary!)and have been on chocolate shakes and bars for the last 18 weeks or so..chocolate is the only thing that tastes fairly normal and so versatile i have it with ice like a shake/mouse or like hot chocolate with warm water or add a little bit to coffee or...

Hi Guys just want to say I can relate to what everyone is saying here...and i think the reasons we can all relate to is because we all realise that in some way we all used food to cope with our emotions or problems whether deep rooted, from the past or current and now in the present. Now that we...

Like i said i was not sure and i am delighted the other minis have come to the rescue with the correct advice. I guess i may be LL brainwashed (oh dear!!) but it has helped me to think that way as i have not lapsed for over 150 days. Good luck on your journey Dave Mad x

Hi I am not 100% sure but other mins will let me know but it's simple your body is in ketosis as soon as you eat anything...even a lettuce leaf your body will come of ketosis and take what you have eaten and try and use it for energy and store it as your glycogen stores. Having a healthy...

Hi Sez and fellow Minis! All i can say is i know how you feel i have been on LL for 184 days and not broken it once I am now getting towards to the end of it (9 weeks to go hopefully!) and I just feel so low even though I know I have achieved so much! I am looking to the end and not because i...

Thanks for all your replies guys so glad to know I am not the only crazy cold LL!! I am currently at work with my personal little fan heater by my desk! Thanks for all the tips and advice especially the bath and shower one will try it!!!.....so nice to know that I am not alone!! Mad xx 176...

Hello all i was just wondering how bad everyones levels of coldness was...bascially i get so cold especially now in the winter months that i wear thermals, layers upon layers when outside and indoors, heating is always on...my hands are constantly so cold and i often get really bad chills (with...

Thank you Sez I am glad i didn't just hate the fact that it was my automatic reaction and response...i know it's a trivial thing to moan about....i am just exhausted at the way my warped mind works!

Had a really stressful day today! Had a job interview not had one in years so lots of stress and pressue. It did not go the way i wanted it to go and at the end of it i was exhausted and all i wanted to do was eat....the same old rubbish i used to it...because i thought it would ease the stress...

oh my godness sez me too....got into a size 12 pair of jeans....and tried on a size 10 coat....this is oh so weird...it's like it's not me....i can see myself in these smaller sizes but my brain cannot accept and deal with...i am in denial!!!

Just to echo what everyone has been saying....i have suddenly also been getting a lot of comments, from the newsagents i go to, security guard at work even the cleaners at work! All a bit strange....i am struggling to not dismiss it and take it all in....I also try to not feel guilty...i know...

I got both bars today and oh my goodness they are heaven especially the peanut one...i am already a fan of the old peanut crunch! love it love it love it!!

gosh i hope you are right about these new bars....i am so excited yay yay yay!! God how sad am i look what my life has become being excited about LL bars lol

Hee hee lovely thread! I am also constantly cold so much so that i have to wear layers and take gloves, wolly hat and scraf with me just in case and I am seriously worried about winter!! Also no one seems to understand how frustrating it is to buy some clothes only to have them be too big in a...

not all LLC are 100% accurate in sticking to the 28 day check up....it is up to you and how you feel if you think you should then do it.....but you can tell how your body is dealing with LL

When did you start? LL foundation stage has a 3 week window when people can join so if you started at the end of that 3 week window then you won't finish at 100 days but the others in your group who started on the first week it will/should be their 100 days. I started at the 3rd week of the...

Thank you so much! You can do it too....it really is such a journey of discovery and LL does do what it says on the tin! And it's true the more you drink the more you shrink too! M xx

I would just like to echo what Drama Queen has just said Sarah/Cerulean reading your posts and blogs keep me going! I am on day 129 on LL in development was 18.13st to start and now at 13.04 (for two weeks body deciding to be stubborn and not move!!!) have stuck to it 100%...sometimes it is hard...

yes please [email protected] thank you so much! xx

Sadly you are only allowed one bar a day! :(

No your counselling should continue there is still group activities...it's more reflective but really good i am in development now and although it is odd not to watch a dvd it's nice to have more time speaking to your ll counselling and other group members

well done! Thanks iceycold for your advice! I have 4lbs to go before my bmi drops to the "overweight catergory" lol

Well i will prob scream and cry and then I want to wake and be happy on the inside and just be me....who ever me is...then want to go to all the skinny shops and try and all the clothes on just for the fun of it maybe buy a few!!!! lol

Hi Icey cold...well i have decided that maybe one bar a day is the best way although it's hard...yeah i've got one final big thing this year to get through then i can chill. Basically i have had bbqs (when it was sunny back in june lol) peoples birthdays, works do's, hen do's and a wedding last...

Regarding the bars does anyone know why we can't have more than two a day (apart it making you need the loo)....i am on LL and i am a crazy one who lights the nut bars and it would really be a great help if i could have two a day.....so if anyone knows if this is possible please let me know and...

Hello fellow May LL.....does anyone know if we can have more than two bars a day....i know they say no because it can make you go to the loo etc but apart from that are there any other reasons? It would just make my life a bit easier if i could have two a day? Hope you are all well and...

oh my god this week i opened my nut crunch bar and it was also blue and furry so glad i am not alone!!! arghhhhh

During my first week over 110 days ago i hated the nut crunch bar now i cant get enough wish i could have more than one a day!!!!!! It is the hightlight of my day when i can have my nut crunch. I think because i have not eaten anything but shakes for ages my tastebuds appreciate anything!

Hey Trish and Iceycold all the other May starters thank you for your posts....I think your right about the muscle bit but it's annoying!! Keep going everyone we are all doing so well!!! It's all a bit quiet in my development group at the moment just two of us not sure where everyone else is. I...

Hi all I am 24 and i have also been thinking about lose skin too and watched 10 years younger and just started to worry! I am on LL finished 100 days and now in development with over 5 stone to go and I think what everyone has posted so far is so true it depends on so many factors but hopefully...

I am also paranoid about lose skin.....and I know it all depends on lots of factors but i know on LL or Cambridge once you know the weight is coming off and you are making positive changes to your life...you start to fixate on the other stuff and now for me is Lose Skin!! I just hope all the...

Hi yeah I weigh myself every morning after the first loo stop and I am not sure why i think initially it was my way of control. In foundation especially to make sure it was working each week and that i was all worth it! But now i am in development i made a decision to stop doing this as I know...

Hello everyone (fellow May LLs!) I am only losing 1-2lb in development and this week i did not lose anything at all! I have been sticking to this plan 100% from day 1 but I have been excercising lots so not sure if that's whats doing! I guess as we have all being done so well so far it's natural...

Hello! I am also a May starter and new to this forum so bare with me!...I started on the 2nd of May so on day 17 and have lost 15lb so far...fridays are the worst for me when it comes to this programme as it's the weekend and so nice and sunny and normally i would go shopping for end of...
