Hi everyone, I just want to say a big thank you to you all for the support I've had over the last 10 weeks, as it's time for me to say goodbye..! I decided earlier this week that, as I'm now at a healthy weight, I would like to lose my last stone or so on Weight Watchers. As I can't join...

Hi scotsnat38! I think your best bet would be to go for something with as little sugar as possible. Sugar free Polos perhaps? Or a sugar free Chupa Chup lolly? Both should be easy to get hold of at the airport! Alternatively, if you have any time to pop to the supermarket before you go, you...

Hi everyone, Thanks for replying - it's so nice to feel really positive about things. You're all stars!! :D Sun: I've actually almost done my eighth week - tomorrow is the start of week nine for me, lol! I do remember being told to wait until at least four days into week one until eating...

Hi Dawn, My blood pressure has dropped on LL and I have brief moments of dizzyness too - but other than that I feel fine. Unfortunately I can't comment on your blood pressure results as I am pretty much clueless on what they should be, but as the others have said, if you are concerned, the...

Hi Sun! I know exactly where you're coming from - week 1 was pretty hellish for me if I'm honest! But stick with it - in a couple of days or so you'll really begin to feel the benefits of being in ketosis (more energy, not hungry etc.) and I'm positive you'll start to feel great! It's so worth...

Thanks everyone! :) Hopefully I'll end my fab week with a good weigh in tonight - I'll let you know how I get on! Bex

That's absolutely brilliant - I wonder if they'll have the guts to reply though.. How great would it be if they actually did invite you on the programme!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post saying that I've had an absolutely brilliant week! I usually post on here to have my weekly moan (sorry guys) so I thought it would be nice to have a change for once!! On the one day this week that I did have a little bit of a struggle (Wednesday as per usual...

Did anyone watch Diet Doctors on Channel 5 tonight? There was a section on it about Lighterlife (I could tell - they didn't mention the name outright but the woman was pictured emptying what I could see was a banana flavoured sachet into a cup) and it was totally negative and one-sided! This...

Hi everyone, Sorry to put a downer on things but I've had a few concerns this week and am looking for some reassurance! Over the past 3 or 4 days I've been feeling quite dizzy, and my period still hasn't come and it was due last week (no chance of being pregnant so don't worry about that!)...

Hi Missy, Congrats - 8.6lbs is a fantastic weight loss! There's certainly no need to be disappointed about that :) It's important not to get too hung up on comparing your weight losses to other people's, as everything tends to even out in the end. Proof of the pudding for me was when in week 3...

Well, I have 28 chocolate packs per week and that does it for me! I couldn't stand the bars - my 'week one nut crunch experience' was traumatic to say the least! Just go with the flavours you like - you don't have to have any bars at all (thank god!). Also, I know some people in my group have...

Hi Mini Mouse! Congrats on starting on LL and having a fab mid-week weight loss! I know what you mean about the nut bar btw - I think you'd have to give me a million pounds to eat another one of those, lol! I know that 100 (or 94!) days seems like a long time; I said exactly the same thing...

Hi Missy! I know how it feels - in my first week I had so many packs I didn't like that I dreaded drinking them most days! It is really important that you do have all four every day though; if you don't you wont be getting all of the nutrients that you need and that will make you physically...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if we can take Sanatogen Gold A-Z Multivitamins on LL? I want to take some extra vitamins but these ones contain soybean oil so I'm not sure - I know we can't have cod liver oil tablets so now I'm wondering if soybean is OK!! Thanks :) Bex

Hi, I'm now really worried about losing my hair - does this happen to everyone? If so, is there any way to stop it? I have some 'Skin, hair and nails' tablets in the cupboard; does anyone know if it's OK to take these? :sigh: Thanks, Bex

Hi everyone, I thought I'd make a thread where we could all post the negative comments that, unfortunately, people who struggle with their weight have to face on a daily basis - and where we can all help each other gain some strength in knowing that we are better people than these closed...

Hey everyone, Firstly I want to say thank you all for your support - it really helped me to pull myself together and I don't know whether I could have carried on if I hadn't had your messages! I went to my weigh in on Sunday and I'd lost just under 4 pounds - so much for thinking I'd only...

Hi everyone, I'm sorry to be posting something negative on this forum but I've been feeling down for a few days now and I need you all to help me feel positive!! I'm only on day 13 of LL but I can't help thinking about food - literally ALL day long. I really don't know how I'm going to stick...

Hi, Sorry to ask but I was just wondering which laxatives are OK to take as I'm feeling a little bloated... :/ Is Senakot OK to take? It says that it's a 'natural, herbal remedy' and so I was wondering if the herbs will have any impact on LL? I've lost the packet so I can't have a look at the...

Well, I just had my first weigh in and... I lost 9 and a half pounds! Am absolutely ecstatic - I know it's early days, and I'm sure I'll have some rants and raves to come, but I really feel like I can do this! Woooop! Ps. Well done Skinnymalink!!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the welcomes and messages of support! This week has been tough but I'm hoping tonight's weigh in is going to pay off.. 45 minutes to go!! I'll let you know how I've got on later.. *fingers crossed* Xx

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a quick hello as I have just joined the site (after perusing it for many weeks!). I have just started on Lighterlife - it's my first weigh in tomorrow - and, although this week has been tough, I'm determined to stick to it! I have about 3 and a half stone to...
