Haha ClaireCat- I know exactly what you mean! I can't stop watching cooking programmes and Man V Food! Also smelling food like some deranged bread pervert!

Just into day 7. Currently on a nightshift and thought I should update this. Saturday night I had a planned 'cheat meal' which, on reflection, is a bit pointless and silly so early on and, although I enjoyed it, I don't really know why I succumbed to it. However, I decided that if I did eat this...

That is very disheartening but keep going. Do a little google search on antibiotics and ketosis and there's many stories about them knocking you out of ketosis (mainly due to lactose in the coating). It will probably drop off next week! x

Thank you so much for all your lovely posts :). Today is the end of day 4 and its been an absolute shitter! Work was generally horrific and there was a massive buffet in the staff room all day as someone was retiring. The smell of the food combined with stress was enough to almost make me tie...

Honk for day 2!

Thanks for the encouragement! I need to learn to stop being so down on myself! So I'm just going into day 3. Am currently on a nightshift and I tested my urine last night and I'm in lovely pink ketosis! Still feeling pangs of hunger but nothing too horrific (though I could have eaten...

That's a fab loss, well done!

You look amazing! Well done!

I have to try swede chips!!

I just logged into this for the first time in about a year and the first thing I did was look back at my previous posts. I've had so many attempts at weightloss that i can't remember one from another and seeing it in black and white is incredibly depressing. Anyway - this time there'll be no...

Hi! I'm starting today too so good luck! Def drink loads of water! x

Hi everyone, Started SNS today (done LL and CWP before - lost weight, put it back on etc etc!). Not looking at today as a restart but as a fresh start so support is needed! Good luck everyone! x

Surely that's rubbish! Maybe ask you LL counsellor if there's a private doc you can speak to x

I would say that, if possible, find another group! Is Bridgend too far for you cos my LLC could not be further from this and I always feel on a high when I leave x

How disappointing!! And rude! I'm doing a masters in professional practice in midwifery (I work full time as a midwife). It's extremely boring lol x

Thank you! Went to my first pop in tonight and I've lost 11 pounds in the last 5 days *happy dance*!

I just swapped all my soups over. I hate them all!!!!

Hi all, I'm a restarter too. Started on Wednesday and it's going well so far. Have about 6 stone to lose for my wedding in September :)

Aw fab! Won't be long now. I started Wednesday and it's going well so far x

Sorry! Ive only just seen your reply! Thanks chick, I'm a part time student in Glamorgan. How are you getting on? Still starting?

Pretty much when ketosis kicks in. So day 2-3 for me x

Definitely! I'm on the Bridgend group at aberkenfig. Excited to start!

Hello everyone, I start on Wednesday and I can't wait x

I'm from Wales and I start on Wednesday!

Leanne- thank you! I'm pleased with it :). What's your CWP story? Give me some thinspiration!! Lol. I ate cos I'm a food knob. I really need to be locked in an empty room. Maybe if I commit a minor ish crime I could be detained in some way? Sure I'd lose my job but by god I'd be thin lol ;)!

Oh my goodness, that is just awful. I'm so sorry to hear your loss. Don't beat yourself up re food though, it really doesn't matter right now. Nothing I can say will make it better but look after yourself and I hope you have plenty of people around you xxxx

Wellllll, firstly thanks for commenting above- nice to know I'm not alone! This week has been great and **** in equal measures. Same old- stick to it, mess up, have a weep, vow to change my filthy ways, stick to it...etc etc. I've lost some weight but I've not stick to it 100%. Roll on nov 10th...

My reward will be wearing something other than the handful of things that fit me now! I have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes that I can't even get a chubby leg into at the moment!

I've found I've been able to lose anything from 1-6 pounds in that time frame. No rhyme or reason to it though!

Thought a diary might help me in my journey to lose this bloody weight! Short history for now- ate like a pig and got fat, tried every diet known to man with different degrees of success, joined LL and lost 3.5 stone, was happy for a few months, got ill and complacent, piled weight back on and a...

Wishing your mum all the best!!

Great tips!

Hi guys, I'm now on what I probably the 100th restart of this diet. I've lost 3.5 stone on LL and it was a breeze. This diet I've lost a stone and gained a stone more times than I care to mention. Why do I do this to myself?! I'm so so unhappy as I am. I have all these lovely size 12 clothes...

I'm on my 50th 1st day so I feel your pain! It for get easier though x

Amazing! You look great!!

Fab! I love my iPad!

I think they are all disgusting lol x

Oh and i agree about the choc orange. For me it had a salty taste and aftertaste

You'll find that, once in ketosis and over a period of time, your tastes will change and you'll start liking things you didn't before and disliking things you did. You'll also potentially develop cravings for traditional food you'd never thought much of before- the first time around I would have...

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. How far through are you all? I'm day 5 now. Starting to get my head around it. Feel so stupid for putting it back on but I thought I was bigger than all those return to maintenance programmed. I literally am now lol. Im 16 and a half stone and I want to get...

Hi all! On day 4 of the CWP. It's not my first time. Lost 4 stone last year with LL and piled it back in by being an idiot. This is my 700th attempt to get back on this diet and the last. Was going to write hopefully but I will refrain!!!! Anyway, I had a small meltdown last night so I need...

lost 4 and a half pounds in my first week :) really enjoying SW so far, eating so much lovely healthy food!!

i lost 4 and a half! very pleased :)

Hi, i've been following SW for the past 3 days and i've found that i'm not really using syns. Does this matter at all?

I do Body Attack twice a week and Body Combat 2-3 times a week. Will sometimes go for a swim or a Body Pump class. Anyone do spinning /RPM cos i really want to try but i'm scared i'll die of tiredness or lack of fitness lol x

Can anyone tell me how much it is to join and how much you should lose a month?

Thanks guys! Good luck tomorrow Cazzabella! Let me know how you get on. Piglet - can't believe she did that on her wedding day!! and there's me thinking not drinking or eating on my birthday was a massive thing lol. LL is both the best and worst thing to ever happen to me for numerous reasons...

hey guys, have decided to start SW tomorrow as everyone i work with is on it and having good results. I went from 16 st 2 to 12 st 4 on lighterlife and i've regained a bit after leaving 3 months ago. Still have a goal in sight and this definately is not it!

Hiya, i'm new(ish) to the forum and i've been considering LL for a while now. I've been overweight as long as i can remember and its basically all i think about. it really has taken over my life and negatively effects it in every way. I just want to ask - it seems alot of people on her are...

ooo i have a list of things! - to look good in the tangerine bridesmaid dress i have to wear, rather than like a tangerine! - to wear a corset on my birthday (next friday) - to be able to wear little dresses like my friends on a friday rather than my sucking in underwear under my forgiving...

when i had mine put in the doctor did say lots of people put on weight as it can give you the munchies. it worked very well for a couple of months but now i won't stop bleeding! its day 12 for me and i'm getting fed up!

You're all probably used to these kinds of posts but i'm the 2nd day in and i feel like i've ate and ate! How will i lose weight when i've just had a ton of new potatoes AND pasta AND a pile of veg. Ok, so its not exactly a mcdonalds but i just feel like i should be munching on salad leaves or...

:angeldevil: Can i join please? My goal is 7 pounds. Fingers crossed!!:)

Wow! Thanks for all your lovely replies - i'm pretty blown away by the response! I've had a positive first day - stocked up in tesco and made a batch of soup and other stuff to put into boxes to takes to work as i'm on nights for the next 3 weeks so need things at hand to stop me going into...

sorry! posted twice!

Just wanted to say hi - joined today and also started SW for the first time today. Been reading these threads and about SW for a good few days now and planning my meals etc. Hoping this works as I've always been unhappy with my weight and i have no willpower despite being so unhappy. However...
