    New Memeber and Question about rate of loss!

    Honestly, on other plans you'd only lose a max of 2lbs a day. The problem with these diets is you can expect too much. You're doing so well...don't undermine yourself!

    Food Issues all your life?

    Hi I have to agree with a lot of what's already been said particularly minilady's post. I've always had problems with binging. I lost 6 stone by strict SSing last year for 140 days. I didn't follow any of the CD plans when I started eating, just low GI and low calories and now maintain on...

    Why do these things always happen to me???

    Kelly I'm sure you are losing even tho the scales aren't telling you. I had 2 weeks of no weight loss even tho I was strict SSing. The third week I lost 9lbs. The scales mess with your head! Believe in yourself and this fab diet...you are deffo losing!

    Keeping the weight off ??

    HI Zoe I did 140 days strict SS last year and lost 6 stone. I finished in October 2007. I've been maintaining eating low GI food since then and my weight loss as of today is 6 stone half a pound! Your weight does fluctuate a bit when you are eating but that happens to thin people too! Any diet...

    What Height Are You And Whats Your Ideal Weight?

    I'm 5ft 10 and weight 13 stones...would be ideal to get down to 12 7 but not too bothered! Caress, I'm a size 12-14 at this weight so you may not be a 16!

    What do you think is a healthy size??

    As I'm 5 10" I would have been happy to be a 16 but I've ended up a 12-14 which is just fine. I could never be a 10! But I think what's healthy depends on your frame and build.

    size and weight

    I'm 13 stone and a size 12-14. I'm 5 10" though. I have to agree that it's impossible to guess the size/weight ratio. I had lost several stones before I went down one size! Don't know if what Corey said is true...but it sounds right as my fat cells hung around for ages and then disappeared...

    Earl Gray ?

    Our LLC recommended earl grey to us and I drank it all the time with the orange flavouring and it was yummy. However the CDCs on the CD forum have said you can't have it cos it's citrus. All I can say is I averaged 5lbs a week on LL and I was always in ketosis!

    LighterLife - a diet designed for women.

    I have to say as a veggie LL soups were a treat as I could have them all! I found the balance of sweet and savoury ok...but maybe cos I do prefer sweet(ye gods I'm a stereotype lol). Diets may be aimed at women but.....men always lose faster dammit!!!
