    Anyone starting new this month?

    Hadn't heard that - only restriction was that I couldn't have the bars for the first 4 days... All going ok, still in ketosis and registering (small) losses every day.. First week I lost 10lbs, this week 3 days in I've only lost 2lbs so far - but hey, on other diets I'd be lucky to lose 2lbs...

    This time last year..

    Happy birthday, and well done! When I wonder what on earth I'm doing, knowing that it really didn't take a long time for you all to become fabulously slim, I manage to get some strength from that!!

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Hi LG et al Well done you! What was your starting weight, height & goal weight? I know where you're coming from - a couple of times the packs have been a real struggle, but I'm having 1 of the bars each day which is more like a snack, and have switched to just the shakes (no soups), which I...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    It's my first weigh in tomorrow night, and although I've had you guys, I'm feeling very much like I need the support of the group.. I had a tomato soup last night, which I just couldn't stomach.. I know, I'm meant to have 4 packs a day, but I just couldn't. I'd had 3 tho, so that will have to...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    OMG Dinosour - that's absolutely brilliant!! I can't imagine that I'll lose anything like 18lbs, but I think it's going to be a pretty good loss all the same - I feel slimmer already (don't look it mind, but just feel slimmer around my waist)! Ooh - I'm so excited for you!! Good luck on your...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Ooh GeeBee - what a small world! You'll do great :-) Had another two challenges today - we've been out on the road all day, with no chance to stop and for me to make up my shake or soup or whatever.. Anyway, not ideal, but after porridge for breakfast, I then had to go all the way through...

    Hi Mel (and everyone else) Day 1 went brilliantly (even went out in the evening with a friend, and she ate, I drank water & talked!!).. Day 2 is not proving to be too hard at the moment... I was feeling a bit hungry, but then I realised it was time for pack # 3 today, so just had an ice cold...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Hi everyone! Didn't get chance to come on here yesterday - sorry about that. Day 1 went really well - had my 4 packs. Porridge to start with (blend it electrically and it's yummy), chicken soup for lunch (again, the trick is to whisk/blend electrically) and that was good too - had it in a...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Ooh - you definately want to be teeny tiny for that! I'm going on holiday in about 4 weeks - dreading that, but as explained to me on another thread, there will be other holidays where I can eat - and Italy isn't just about the food & drink, honest!! Cool - 15th Nov works for both of us - how...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Hi ladies I'm about to start LL - tonight! Can't wait to get started now :-) I have done the Cambridge Diet in the past, but I need the support & counselling to change my association with food now.. I am going to keep things quiet for now - I've hold my husband, but I've been here before -...

    Anyone starting new this month?

    Hiya! Yes, I got my form filled in on Friday, am dropping it off tonight, & go to my first meeting tomorrow to get my packs - will start Wednesday morning I guess. Would love to support you guys and hope we can all help each other. I'm excited, have lots of enthusiasm and kept telling myself...

    Help - new to this

    Ok - so hand blender.. Need to get one - can you recommend one? What do you get when you go to your first session? It was left a bit up in the air, but mainly because all of the newbies were a bit nervous and didn't ask the questions? Obviously your food packs.. But do you get a shaker...

    Help - new to this

    Well I met the LL counsellor last night & am starting on Tuesday! Really happy that there are the counselling sessions, as I can totally see that I didn't have much in the way of support (from people who know what it's like) with CD.. Anyway, can't wait. Told my husband last night & he was...

    No need to be worried about why I couldn't wait until Wednesday this week - it was just that my mind was set on getting cracking, and you know when you have to wait..?? I'm just impatient. Only another 24 or so hours to wait now before meeting the LL counsellor! I've spend the last week...

    Forgive me - I'm sure I'll learn in time, but what's the CBT/TA??! Thanks for your support. I guess I've just had playing on my mind that I don't want to be so fat for my holiday, but it's a bit too late for that now. Just try the whole 'no chocolate/crisps/booze' thing before I get there...

    Hi everyone I wondered if you could help me. I've done CD before with good success, but that was a couple of years ago and the weight has crept back on. Someone at work suggested LighterLife, which I would like to look into. But I've read that you need to commit for 14 weeks - I'm going on...

    Help - can someone explain some things to me (I'm new).

    Thanks Mike. You didn't make me feel too bad!! Just made me really think about what I'm doing! I guess this is also helping me to realise that I really want to do the diet. This weekend could have been the chance for me to say I couldn't do it & not bother, but I'm back on, and am going to...

    Help - can someone explain some things to me (I'm new).

    Hi Jane Thank you so much for replying. From Icemooses's response, and someone elses on another website, I've been feeling really bad and wondering whether I can do this diet. :sigh: I want to - really want to, and am enjoying it - it's relatively easy as I don't have to work out what I...

    Help - can someone explain some things to me (I'm new).

    Oh heck.. Right, didn't realise all that.. I will read up about 790 and see if I could do that long term. I've never been a great one for having a bit of food - I've failed previous diets because I have some food, and then just want more! Will power is non-existant. Alcohol - I will not...

    Help - can someone explain some things to me (I'm new).

    I really appreciate your advice. My counsellor said how well you'd done, and to look out for you on here! So I should think about the 790, although I wouldn't have any problem each week night - it's just the weekends. I'm either at friends or their down with us. Could I not just 790 on...

    Help - can someone explain some things to me (I'm new).

    Hi guys I went to see a CDC for the first time last Monday, and although she told me lots of really useful information, I'm needing some more! So, I'm SS-ing. All that is fine, I've managed to drink the water, and not cheated. However, Saturday night, we had a long-standing plan to have...
