I have booked a holiday to Italy too. I had been thinking about it for a while and then people around me started talking about going to Italy and it just made me want it even more. So I am back to Malcesine for 10 days in September and can't wait. :D

LL really does teach you how to plan better. I always keep a bar in my bag, I have some water flavouring in a little container too and have a good supply of packs at work. I got caught out with the snow when I had to spend a night in a hotel and had a couple of M&S flat breads. It didn't...

A few of us at group have said the same things and I am about to embark on a huge bake out for everyone at work lol. The good thing is that I am not at all jealous that they will be eating it and I won't!

Apologies Sulley I have not been around for a week due to stuff! I will have a look at it when things calm down a little if that's ok.

I got two last week and actually liked them after I was initially unsure. Went to get 5 for this week and they are out of stock!! Apparently demand has been so high they can't get any in. Arrggghhh.:cry:

I am relatively new to the LL programme but have to say this is the most positive I have ever felt about a weight loss system. I have tried a lot of diets and some work and some don't, but the weight always went back on. For me, the counselling is the key to LL and that alone is worth the £70...

Another 4lbs tonight so my next mini-target is only 3lbs away.

I have been using mini targets since the beginning of this diet and it really helps because each goal is not too far away and does not seem unachievable. If I looked at the bigger picture I would struggle at times. So with 3.5 stone down my next mini target is 4 stone lost. Weigh-in tonight!

Hi Jenna, Fantastic start! :D I have a lot to lose too, although not sure what I want to get down to, about 14st if I want to weigh what everyone says I should! I am just taking it in smaller chunks though because thinking of such a huge amount would be a barrier for me, especially during...

Awww Monkerella :hug99: Firstly in situations like these the last thing on our mind would be to grab a pack or a bar. Secondly, starving yourself for 12+ hours is not good for you and you could have chosen something far worse than a sandwich to eat. I have realised that I have a lot to...

Ok. Any particular style and do you just want a jaguar or with a design around it? The other thing I would say, and I only say this because I am having a back piece done, is do you want it now or when you have lost weight? I personally am going to wait because the size and shape of my back...

What sort of design are you after? I like those images. The bottom one would be superb animated :D

Anyone out there as excited as I am with the upcoming 6 Nations tournament and start of the F1 season?

Take Another Little Piece of my Heart

I have been thinking about this for a while now but the cost is a little steep. I know someone who had it done and paid £3000 so I think the £395 per eye is a little misleading. I think if I had that sort of money to spend a tummy tuck would be top of my list (when I have lost the weight of...

National Express by The Divine Comedy :D

Welcome and best of luck with the weight loss. You've made a great start. I have to ask are you a player or watcher of rugby (or both). I'm a bit of a rugby nut. :party0011:

Hi and good luck with your weight loss. There's a lot of support and advice on here so just dive right in. :)

Hi Natasha, Best of luck with you weight loss plan I am sure you will be able to do it.

Welcome Jane and the very best of luck to you. There is lots of advice and support on here so I am sure you will achieve what you have set out to.

I have been to Rome on a rugby weekend and absolutely loved it. 3 days is not long enough to see everything so have a good idea what you want to do before you go so as not to miss out. Other than that I can't be much help as I have only been to Pompeii many years ago and then Lake Garda...

I do a little drawing when I get time. I used to paint but haven't done anything for years. I am in the process of designing some tattoos though which has reinspired me.

I had mine today and have to say I found it a little strange. It tasted a bit cardboardy to me although the chocolatey taste was pleasant. I will get some more but will half them as someone else said, I found a whole bar a little too much.

Fantastic loss. Congratulations. :D

Interesting question. However I can honestly say that I want to lose weight for me. That statement is of course made up of little individual goals, like choice of clothes, health, not worrying how I am going to negotiate my way through crowded rooms, not having to ask for an extender belt when...

More great weight losses. Congrats to all.

Fantastic news and it's not that long to wait either. :D

Hi and welcome. Best of luck on your weight loss journey :D

Sorry to hear that Tasha. It is always nice to have something to look forward to so it is a shame this has happened. I try and think that things happen for a reason so the house move may bring some unexpected bonuses into your life. Hope it all works out for you.

So far I am stuck on very wrong! :banghead:

There is also a new mousse mix thing which turns the milkshakes into potential Angel Delight type desserts. I am still experimenting with mine lol. I have also been told that the fruit bar is being replaced with the new fudge bar which is a shame as I quite liked that one.

Many, many congratulations. I can't wait until I can start my own thread saying the same. You should be very proud. :D

I have to say that I have a few packs left over from days where I just didn't feel well enough to have all 4 packs. It does worry me but I went through a stage of throwing up after the soups and just couldn't face doing that too often. Things seem to have settled down now though and I am off...

fame

Firstly, well done on getting through the first 4 days. It gets easier from here on. :D I get 7 bars every week as allowed and have to say look forward to having them. I also always have one in my handbag in case I am held up somewhere when out so that I always have something to eat rather...

I'm so over the snow. Nearly crashed twice on my way into work today. We're just not set up for it over here.

And now problems with the mousse mix :( Picked up a tub of mousse mix last night told strawberry shake/mousse tasted like Angel Delight. Just made it up as it says on the tub and I have lumps and the strawberry taste seems to have disappeared. Any tips?

I am off to Toronto and will probably stay around the area this time. In my previous visits to Canada I have been to Nova Scotia, Vancouver & Whistler, Montreal and a lot of visiting places in Ontario. I am off to stay with a friend and we haven't seen each other in a while so it will be great...

Really didn't like it but then I don't like hot, spicy food.

Good luck to all January starters and well done to those who have had their first weigh-ins. To those of you who are struggling, please stick with it, I found it got easier and the more weight you lose the more incentive it is to keep going. :D

I have friends who have been and really loved it. I went to Alexandria and Cairo many years ago. I am off to Canada in March(hopefully) and can't wait. Stayed for 3 months a couple of years back and have been dying to return.

New Moon was my least favourite of the books and although I read bad reviews of Breaking Dawn it was my favourite. Has anyone read the Sookie Stackhouse books? Here is a link to Twilight from Edward's perspective...

I would say hand blender as well although it's good to get the technique right without one in case you find yourself somewhere without a hand blender. Having said all that, I can not get the lumps out of the chocolate shake. I have tried the hand blender, a whisk and the paste method but...

Congrats flutterworc 10lbs is fantastic. Please don't let a smaller weight loss next week dishearten you though. I had a huge weight loss my first week too and thought I would feel disappointed every week afterwards. However, the first week is always going to be a biggie and then you just...

I have both traguses pierced and outer conch and three piercings in each lobe. I really wanted a scaffold but have been told my ears are too flat :( Three tatts to date: - phoenix on upper left arm (my divorce present to myself), daffodil on right wrist (my Welsh heritage), "Exit, pursued by...

We were restricted to 3 but I only picked up one in case I didn't like it. I feel I may have made a mistake lol

Lost another 10lbs since 30 December. 3.5 stone in 6 weeks. Really chuffed with it and only 1.5 stone to my first big target. Yay! :D

Congrats on your 7lb loss :D Some great advice from everyone about your little blip, especially getting straight back into it. I had two days off over New Year as I had a ton of things going on but told myself I would get straight back onto it on the 2nd and I did. To be honest, even showing...

Good luck to all you January starters. :party0019: I started at the beginning of November and have to say that for the most part it has been pretty easy going. My tips are: - Break you weight loss goal into small targets. I look at a stone at a time but every meeting means I am near to...

Thanks Blonde Logic and Kenshin :) Well done Jennifer for getting straight back down to it. 11lbs may seem like a lot but imagine what could have happened if you didn't take action now! Those 11lbs will be gone before you know it and you'll be back on track again. :D

I'm not sure tbh. I think to begin with it is but then I think as the weeks go by it evens out. I know that on LL they say you should lose between 3-4lbs a week regardless of weight and I now seem to be doing that.

tobacco

A lot of people have blips I think but the trick is to get back on the wagon as soon as possible and you have committed to doing that so don't beat yourself up. :) Good luck for the rest of the week.

Can you exchange them? In my first week we tried at least one of everything and then could go in after a couple of days and exchange packs we didn't like. I'm on a different diet though so maybe it's not the same.

I have trouble mixing the chocolate shakes nothing I do seems to get the lumps out and I was so looking forward to having a nice hot chocolate but all I get are lumps. :mad: I don't have the problem with any of the other shakes.

You are right to feel proud of your 4lbs Just Peachy it's a fantastic achievement. I have a lot more weight to lose than you as well which is why my first week's loss was so big I think.

Steig Larsson is fantastic. I am waiting for the 3rd book to come out in paperback. Just finished the biography of Heath Ledger which was a Xmas pressie. Also, reading Armadale by Wilkie Collins and going to start Terry Pratchett's new one. :D

Hi Lynne, No you're not misreading it thankfully :p I lost 16lbs in my first week so that's where most of it was lost. Hoping I have made it to my next target of 3 stone lost on Tuesday.

Hi bekimo, You might be right about the tummy bug I hadn't thought of that. My next meeting is on Tuesday providing I'm not snowed in, last week's meeting was cancelled apparently. I will see how I get on over the weekend. Thanks :o

You're welcome Stan and make sure you do let us know how you get on. As for the idea of crossing off the 7lbs as you do them soccermom, I love that idea so will start doing that too. :D

So sorry to hear you are not getting the support you need from those around you. However, you will get the support you need on here and remember that you are not losing weight for anyone else but yourself. That way, whether they support you or not, it won't matter because with every lb lost...

Hi, I too have a lot to lose if I want to get anywhere near my "ideal" weight and tbh thinking of losing that much weight is just too daunting so I have broken it down into smaller chunks. My "big" goal is 5 stone, but I break that down even further into 1 stone targets. I've found this to be...

Good luck. Once the weight starts coming off it's an incentive to keep going :)

I would love to get into some games again but only have a laptop and it just doesn't cope well :(

Hi Kik, I think you have already taken the first step by posting on the forum and acknowledging that you want to do something. If LL worked for you before and you know what to expect I would say go for it again. Good luck in whatever you choose to do. :o

I know I shouldn't ask but..the book about boobs?? :) Got books for Christmas so was very happy. :D

Only on week 6 so not had the milk week yet. Haven't been to a meeting since before new year either as I have been away. It is slightly worrying as I've now got a dodgy tummy too! :confused:

Hi everyone, Have been on LL since the beginning of November and all was well until the last week or so. I have started feeling really faint and being sick, well dry retching as there is nothing to bring up. I even nearly passed out at the Dr's. Has anyone else had this sort of reaction?

Hi Blonde Logic, I went straight back onto packs on Boxing Day and haven't waivered since although it has been a little torturous at times (especially Boxing Day). I think it is because all the temptation is laid in front of you though unlike the rest of the year.

Thanks Keira and well done :) My weigh-in was tonight and I lost 4lbs so not as bad as I thought it would be.

Congratulations for the 3.5 stone. :clap: I've lost 2.5 so far and have a long way still to go. Good luck :)

I am definitely a serious reader as most of my friends would sigh heavily whilst testifying to. I can't go anywhere without checking out books. I currently have 40ish in my waiting-to-be-read pile but am likely to add to that over the next couple of weeks even though I tell myself I shouldn't...

I think people would be shocked if I told them how much I weighed when I started but mainly because they couldn't imagine being that heavy. There is also the fact that people who are close see past the fat, of course they know you are fat but you are so much more to them than that. Only my...

I did eat Christmas day because it was the first time we had eaten together as a family at home since my mum passed away. I'm glad I did actually as the day was very special with the three of us sat down to eat together. This probably makes no sense and I can hear the LL counsellor telling me...

Yay, Weighed in last Tuesday and wanted to have lost 4lbs to get me to 2.5 stone and I made it. Not bad for 4 weeks :) Am just hoping to have lost something by next Tuesday as I had Xmas dinner yesterday. I didn't overeat though so am a little worried that if I don't lose, does this mean I...

On LL and had a couple of headaches in the first week but that might have been due to the lack of caffeine as I am a huge coffee fiend. Had loose bowels a couple of times but I have IBS as well. The most worrying side effect has been two episodes of sever stomach pains and vomiting/nausea. I am...

Thanks for all the welcomes. I haven't been able to spend as much time on here as I would have liked due to work but am hoping things will slow down a little now. Just finished my second week and have lost 25lbs so far so looking forward to the weigh-in tomorrow.

I am on LL. This is my 3rd week and it's not going too badly so far.

That was 16lb in one week (I have a lot to lose). I lost 9lb last week and my 3rd weigh-in is tomorrow. Am expecting it to have fallen off dramatically this week but hoping for 3lb to make 2.5 stone in 3 weeks.

Had my first weigh-in last Tuesday and was delighted to have lost 16lb and although I know things will slow down a lot from that, it has really motivated me to stick with it. Roll on Tuesday:D

First day I am a November starter, first session last night, first day today. 4 packs down already :D Not hungry but then again I rarely eat because I am hungry. I was ok at work but it got tougher at home. Looking forward to day 2.

Hi all, I'm about to go to my first session and nervous and a little panicked so thought I would do a search on the internet to make sure this was a good as it seems to be. I came across this forum, read a few posts and it has helped put me at ease, so thank you for that already. Not looking...
