    My journey to a 32" waist and a girlfriend...

    I braved the dating site world 4 yrs ago - had experience of being lied to and thought never again. Then, along with 4 friends who were using a particular site and calling me chicken I joined this other site. I only met one man from there, 3 and a half years ago. 3 weeks ago we got married:-))...

    Cerulean's Maintenance Diary - 20 wks of SSing - Maintaining since 25/07/11

    I remember being on LL and I was 100 abstinent for 8 months - during that time I had 2 weeks where I stayed the same and that was ok - but 1 week where I gained and I actually felt fine because I knew absolutely that I had followed the plan and that gain must be due to body adjusting itself in...

    Hi Sarah, my close friend has used "real" nappies with both her boys with no problem, except for at night time, and so from early on she used a good disposable overnight. One a day is not so bad, and if not used the boys would wake up wet during the night. Her youngest is still in nappies...

    Joanne, I swim "gently" 3 times a week and do a gentle toning programme at gym twice a week. It is not advisable to do any vigorous or aerobic exercise on VLCD as no glycogen stores and can lead to feeling very ill. I have been absolutely fine doing the above and my main reason for starting...

    Restarting - It's SO hard! - Why ?

    I would be angry too as you pay a fair price to LL in order to get counselling groups.

Other people will be losing out too...

    Weekly WI and being Abandond

    Well done on your fab weight loss.:) I couldnt have lasted 6 weeks without going home when I first left home. I went back for a visit after 2 weeks, then after 4, and then it got longer as I was more established. That was 21 years ago and I have never lived back at home since!
