No weigh in for me this week :( I forgot the meeting was tomorrow and I am going to Edinburgh soon to see my family and am down there working all week. I am really starting to struggle on the programme so don't think I will have lost much anyway. Ohwell hopefully a good loss next week xx

Day 71 (I think) so last week was a bit of a disaster. I ate conventional food!! Why?? I was bored on the diet and fed up with work. I ate conventional food on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday then gave myself a kick up the bum and asked myself what I wanted from this and why was I destroying all my...

Pymster - thank you! I find doing the diary helpful for a couple of reasons it lets me go back and see how I was feeling and if I am typing into the diary I am not thinking about food!! xx

Day 56 (I think) - Nearing the end of my first week off. Managed to keep busy this week and I haven't even considered eating regular food so I am pleased with that. Weigh in tomorrow and although I have eaten my packs and drank minimum of 2 litres of water a day I don't feel any different. I am...

well done x

Day 52 - Today is the first day of my two week holiday and I can already tell this will be one of my biggest challenges as I have no plans with the exception of my running course starting. Seeing as I am passed the 2 stone mark I am due to go buy some wellies, I originally wanted Hunters but...

Lozz its never too late to join in!! xx

Hi Everyone. Back from my date. We met at the bar next to the park and I was a little early so I got a bottle of water before he arrived then we went for a walk (definately must have hit my 10,000 steps) around the park. It must have went well as I have already received a text to see he would...

DAY 51 - I am going on my first date today in 3 years. I have been awake most the night as I am soooooooo nervous!! The worst part of splitting up with someone you've been with for 3 years is meeting new men, hopefully nothing has changed about the male species but I am absolutely terrified...

Fantastic loss Ulysses31!! x

Thank You ladies. I love all your comments, I am still walking around with s massive smile on my face xx

Day 50 - Well I am jumping for joy today as I lost 5.5lbs this week taken me to just over 30lbs since I started. This week I have really attempted to drink more water. So I have managed 2.5 litres every day. We spoke about water alot in the group today and the LLC confirmed that if all my body...

Day 45 - Bank holiday Mondays - I love them!! I decided to try on a jacket that I haven't worn for about 2 years. Its a size 14. I tried it on. It was snug BUT it zipped all the way up and I could still breathe!! I tried on another size 14 jacket and didn't stand a chance but one fit and...

Hi On_the_verge, If you decide to do the diet it will change your life. It can be difficult to start but throughout the plan it gets easier! The website is one of the best supports I have come across and I am sure you will get losts of replies as the days go on!! Louise x

Evening Eatlikeabird, I am using it to finish on Monday but I don't think their is a set 'rule'. If you want it to be until the 31st I can't see why it's a problem. I like things that start and finish on Mondays, bit of an OCD thing for me!! Hope you are well xx

Hi Littlebaconsandwich, how are you? xx

Day 43 - Got weighed today and I have lost 2.5lbs which is more than I was expecting. Definately upping my water intake as I miss my 3 or 4 lb losses. Been up to my best friends today to see her gorgeous baby. She is 3 weeks old and just amazing!! xx

Day 41 - I am really struggling this week, sticking to the packs and water but I don't feel like I have lost weight. My WI is Saturday and this is the first week I have been properly nervous. How is everyone getting on? x

Thanks BL - I know I can't get hung up on it. I wrote about it in my diary, onwards and downwards x

Onefineday - thats no problem, don't think anyone will have any issues, are you doing anything nice that your missing your WI? xx

Thanks Clarabow, seems that there are a few of us on here not feeling great. I blame the constant changes in the weather. I haven't been coming on the forum as often but I think I will be on more often again as the support is invaluable. xx

Day 36 - Had my weigh in today, only lost 1.75lbs which is pretty poor in comparison to the rest of my weight losses. I have been feeling quite ill this week and my LLC said this could be a reason and that I am probably not drinking enough water. I am going to put it behind me because its still...

Hi BL - hope your medicie is working. I have a bad case of the cold :( I went to the chemist and picked up throaties and pain killers yesterday. It wasn't until I was halfway through the throaties that I realised they were probably completely not allowed :( I will find out if I am still in...

ace treats and goals!! xx

Littlebaconsandwich - A gruffalo hunt sounds amazing!! I love your name BTW. I had to wait two weeks and it really helped to get me in the right frame of mind and asked lots of questions. I got great support on here throughout the whole time. Its really worth considering your reasons for doing...

Well done Ulysses31!! x

Thanks SB - they are expensive but I was struggling to drink just water and don't know of any alternative :(

littlebaconsandwich - good luck with your journey on weightloss and finding yourself! I am 4 weeks in and have lost 20.5lbs! I found the diet fairly easy to get going on but I did cut out carbs on the run up to it as it can cause a bit of a headache. You will learn so much during your LL...

BL - I hope you feel better soon. x

Hey everyone, hope you are all well. Had my 4th weigh in today and I lost another 4.5lbs. To say I am pleased is a pretty big understatement!! 20.5lbs in four weeks is just amazing. I am booked in for my first treat tonight - a luxury relaxing facial. I am soooo looking forward to it as I have...

Updated the countdown. As I got weighed this morning and found out I had lost another 4.5lbs. I am sooooooo chuffed!!

DAY 23 - I have been using the fruits of the forest water flavouring. Can I use it in all my water? I don't know if I am making it quite right as I can only taste real sweetness rather than blackcurrant. Still finding the diet easy just a little boring but I am just moving along. xx

Hi, How are you getting on? x

Karen - please don't worry, when did you start? Everyone has good weeks and bad weeks. I seem to lose less than everyone else in my meeting but its just whats right for my body. Its not always about weight its about inches. My LLC told us that if she could just weigh us once at the beginning...

thanks everyone. Eatlikeabird, I just need to wait till I am paid then I will book my facial. x

Thanks Julz. Day 22 (I think) - Just had my 3rd weigh in and I lost 4lbs!! Total loss so far is 16lbs which is massive. The LLC also had big bits of fake fat, we all thought they weighed around 10lbs when is fact they weighed 5lbs! It showed us what we had carried around with us and what we...

So pleased that I lost 4lbs this week!! xx

as long as its giving my skinny vibes i dont mind hehe x

LOL maybe it is.

i love everyones little faces next to the weight countdown - i chose mine as i believe its sending weightloss vibes!! x

Still Day 16 - just tried shepherds pie and strawberry milkshake. Not a lover of either :( So far I only seem to like vanilla and chocolate milkshakes and cranberry bars. Going to give some soups another go next week I think. x

orinoconomore there is a new challenge thread set up, have you seen it? xx

Thanks for everyones lovely messages!! Day 16 - My jeans are now officially too big, they look ridiculous. So I had to go looking for my too tight pair and they fit perfectly!! I am sooo pleased. This diet is fabulous. Every day I have a feel of my collarbones and they are definately coming...

Hey Debbi, don't let their weightloss get you down. 7lbs in 1 week is amazing!! x

Edith bowman

Hi everyone. Matt is no longer doing lighter life as advised by his doctor. I pushed him to come on and let you all know himself but he feels a bit silly. He has been eating healthy and lost loads last week!! X

Well done onefineday!!! X

I think all LLC say slightly different. Mine just says minimum of 2 litres. I'd be in the loo all day if I drank more xx

Hi karen, just drink as much water as your comfortable with, I am proud if I manage 2.5 litres a day as I have never had a large water intake. As far as I am aware tetley tea is fine. You sound like your getting on great!! xx

Yeh, I was thinking about our next challenge. I will need to think hard about it as I don't want to make it too high but I don't want it to be too low either. xx

xx [/SIZE] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE] Pinkie: 0lbs (on RTM!)... +2 (Oops, stupid wine!) :flirt2: Matt: 12lbs... Blonde Logic: 21lbs... - 20... 1 to go!! :party0049: carrie: 19lbs... -8.2lb... 10.8 to go!! :D Clarabow: 14lbs... SunshineCass: 8lbs.... SerenityValley: 16lbs...

LadyT - thanks, I was panicking!! I read an email today which was sent on Tuesday from my LLC so we had a pop in tonight instead of Saturday. So on day five of my second week I have lost a further 3.25lbs. Which means I also met my August 1st target of 11lbs. So pleased!! Dealing with...

Venustraphobia: Fear of beautiful women.

Eatlikeabird - congratulations on your amazing loss!!! You sound so positive :) Does anyone else experience heart burn? Xx

Day 12 - how is everyone? Hope your all doing well. I had a blip today :( I forgot to pick up my bar to take to work and hadn't had my morning milkshake. So I was just drinking water but was soooo aware of the taste in my mouth. One of the guys offered me a hard boiled sweetie and I took it...

Hi. I agree with LadyT!! you are making this choice not your friends and they should be happy to support you!! Xx

BL - it sounds like you had a really rough time but you dealt with it fantastically certainly with more will power than I would have had!!! Where in Scotland were you? X

Taphophobia: Fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries.

Hi eatlikeabird. How are you getting on today? Unfortunately I don't know much about ketosis but hang in there xxx

Kainolophobia: Fear of novelty.

Good luck xx

Day 10 - something's changed, i had a feeling in my stomach all last week, it felt like I had done a full on abs work out the night before but it's gone :( Not feeling much about the diet - not excited, not bored, nothing!! It's all a bit strange. Maybe it's just me or maybe I am just in the...

Hi Orinoconomore - all you need to do is quote the last person to update the tracker thing and type in the details on the line where your name is!! I picked a little man saying "woo" for you!! How are you?? x

Thanks LadyT So went to my first weigh in today and it was a really nice meeting, everyone really bonded today and someone who felt she had no-one in the world to support her (including her husband) now feels that she has 6 brand new friends, oh there was tears all round. The meetings are so...

Thanks BL :) I am so so so pleased. I think I said my target to the 1st August was 11lbs so I have another 2.5lbs to lose next week :) xxx

Hi Everyone, just been to my first weigh-in and I lost 8.5lbs!! I am really pleased. Tried the toffee bar after the meeting and oh god I hate it!! Hope everyone has a good weekend x

Hey everyone - I have been texting Matt he is ok just going through a hard time, I have been telling him to get his ass back on!! I will text him later again xx

Can you feel the love tonight - Elton John

Day 7! I was really confused about what day I was on yesterday and woke up this morning and remembered weigh in is tomorrow!! I am so proud of myself as this week I have thought about food (like when driving past McDonalds I thought 'mmmmm I loooovvvvvve McDonalds') BUT not once have I...

I started a diary before I got my packs and I found it helped put me in the right frame of mind for starting! A huge good luck and you will get alot of support on here!! x

Day 5 - Thanks for everyones comments. Still got a bit of a headache but think its due to not being able to sleep which is frustrating as I am sooooooo tired all day everyday. Going to Shetland next week with work so I have been having a think about what foodpacks to get this week. Think I am...

Good luck Lottie, the first couple of days might be hard but hang in there as its gets soooo much easier. There are heaps of people on this forum to support you. xx

Well done!!!! Xx

Day 5 - ooooooooooooooooooh my head hurts :( Taken pain killers all day but it won't shift. Definately not dehydration as I have drank loads of water today, its been my most impressive so far! hope everyone is having a great week xx

eatlikeabird - I love your name!! Good Luck you wont regret it!! xx

I was just thinking about your amazing weightloss. Had you taken measurements beforehand?? X

18lbs is incredible!! if thats not a motivator for you and everyone else on this forum I have no idea what is!! Jealous that your going to New York xx

Well done LadyT!! xx

Day 4 is nearly over, count down to weigh in from tomorrow. There was a set of scales in the toilets today and I was itching to jump on them but I think I'd rather wait and see after a full week. I don't want to get back to going on the scales first thing in the morning then last thing at night...

Hi, on lighter life total there is only the milkshakes, soups and bars that lighter life provide you with, nothing else. Lou x

Day 4 - just had my first cranberry and raspberry bar mmmm mmmmm mmmmm. I am quite surprised by the fact that I haven't had any thoughts of cheating!! Last time by day 2 I think there was tears lol. I thought I'd die if I didn't eat! Funny what a difference a couple of years makes! Xx

I agreed with clarabow get rid of the scales!! I understand what you mean about small losses I will feel the same but its sooooo worth it. Give your LLC a phone tomorrow you sound like you need support and possibly a hug! xx

now now matt!!

Did you have a weigh in tonight Andy? You know it works everyone has ups and downs its hard but if it doesnt kill us it makes us stronger and this definately will! xx

BL thats amazing!!!! xxxx

Yeh I am back at work tomorrow. I am hoping to feel a little less tired but will just continue drinking my water and take my bar for lunchtime xx

4 / 5 lbs is massive!! I am hoping to lose 7lbs this week. I could have went for a pop in today but didn't go either, didn't feel the need to as I am mosie-ing along just fine. xx

I googled it and a post that BL put up about 3 years ago popped up!! Everyone seemed to think that it was ok - you can have two teaspoons a day. I also used to use it in the vegetable soup to give it a better flavour. I have been alright today, just quite tired which meant I had no...

MartyG - good luck xx

Hey Matt, Savoury mix is a hot drink, thats a bit like a cup a soup but much more watery. Last time I used Marigold Boullion as I read on a forum it was tastier and much cheaper but the exact same as LL savoury mix. I went and bought some today. How was your first day at work on the diet?? xxxx

orinoconomore - I have made an effort to finish my water at least an hour before I go to bed to stop me having to get up every night as that happened last time and my body got into the habit of waking up every night even if I didn't need the loo! Day 3 - feeling really tired today, hopefully my...

Day 3 - still feeling alright this morning. Loving my vanilla milkshake and porridge but finding the soups not so great! Does anyone use the savoury mix / marigold boullion? Got through day 2 pretty well, making sure i drank plenty of water only downfall to this is I spend half my day going to...

i only got the cranberry one as thats the one i had the last time but might try different ones next week x

I love this dress - I want to be wearing it to the gig I am going to in November! xx Lipsy Embellished Shift Dress | Littlewoods.com

hmmmmmm thats interesting. I will ask next week why she says its after 3 days when others say 1 week. thanks lady t xx

I have never tried zumba before but I am planning to just walk more for a while then build it up to jogging etc, I know from last time that excercise was tough so just a little at a time xx

Strange how we were told different things x

Thanks slendablenda. I'll give that a try. Matt - my LLC said we could have bars from day 4 onwards. Xx

Jennifer Anniston also looks amazing - oh to look like her. That's a long way off with alot of surgery!! What packs did you get this week? I got mostly vanilla, porridge, 4 bars - there good for me to take to work and vegetable soup. I tried minestrone last night and I can honestly say never...

You can be my number 1 if I can be yours - and I don't think the ladies on this forum would be happy with you picking favourites lol. Just watching the Bounty Hunter - oh how I love Gerard Butler - yuminess!!!! xx

Yeh its great to have someone at the exact same stage. There is a girl my age in the group that I am hoping to befriend as it would be nice to have someone here as both our friends sound the same and have the same challenges. So between you, the girl and all the lovely ladies on here I will be...

oooooooo that sounds really fine BL!! I will take a note to get some choc shakes next week x

LOL xx

I put the shake powder and a table spoon of coffee into my shaker, then put about 150 mls of water in and stir with a spoon to get all the bits of powder off the bottom then I put in the rest of my water and shake it. I had a headache this morning but I think it was dehydration. I haven't been...

keep busy!! and think of why your doing this. The silly thoughts will die down xx

I love lazy Sundays, I think it helps that I have tomorrow off too which means I have NOTHING that I MUST do today as I can do it tomorrow YEY! Had my vanilla milkshake with coffee in it this morning, I love that drink soooo much! Just been looking through my Littlewoods catalogue and found my...

So day one is nearly over! Definitely think cutting down the carbs has helped but I can hear my belly rumbling as I type. At the LL meeting today we were talking about when we think we are hungry against when we actually are hungry and I think that has impacted my thought process today! Got my...

we were hiding it from you matt!! x

yeh you need to look at the positive instead of the negatives!! x

andy - you've already lost so much, keep going your almost there!! x

i am itching to know how you got on!! the meetings have changed since i last was there but its exciting to be in a meeting with people at all different stages. I got 2 lighter life magazines as I cheekily asked if she had any old ones but they are great for motivation. already had my first...

BL - your on your own, I'd say the room is about the size of a king size bed. The ones that I visited have a door so you can be in darkness with twinkling lights and relaxing music or no music and no lights etc. Its up to you. I slept for four hours afterwards once. It can be pricey but the spas...

BL - I am really sorry to hear that a bath brings back horrible memories. Have you ever looked into floatation tanks? some spas do them. Its like a massive cubicle with swimming pool temperature water and you just lie there and float around, the water has different nutrients in it. I have had a...

Hi Catthin, Water is the one part of the diet that I struggled with previously. I am going to asda shortly to buy a packet of bottles that I will keep in the fridge (re-using the bottles) to ensure I drink minimum of two litres per day. Just had my first vanilla milkshake with coffee and it was...

Thanks SlendaBlenda. So, had my first meeting this morning. Its a different format from when I previously went through my LL journey. The ladies in my group seem really nice and supportive. I got a mixture of different packs as previously I only had the porridge and vanilla milkshakes. So...

Thanks BL, xx

Our years so far have been very similar then!! Tomorrow is the beginning of our new lives matt ... woop :) xxx

Mines is at 930. Good Luck xx

Lady T you forgot the main part in front of the mirror with a MAN!!! I split up with my long term boyfriend earlier this year and cant imagine anyone seeing me naked... for now anyway!! xxx

what time is your class tomorrow boris? x

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone is well. Tomorrow is my Day 1 and I can't wait. I have had loads of time to really consider this diet and the commitment I am going to make to myself for the rest of my life! I have had a small wobble and to be fair I am glad I did. My first main goal is to get...

Hi Naz, The diet is total food replacement alongside a weekly counselling session in a small group. The lighter life website is great for information! X

Clarabow I was quite impressed with bridesmaids! Andy - I hope it gets easier for you! X

That's amazing that you achieved your goal! I previously lost 3 stone on LL but didn't do RTM then went back to eating as normal so this time I am going to fully commit to completing the whole thing and changing afterwards. I feel good today, had a wobble last night but am due to start on...

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for everyone in the forum xxxxx

Thanks borris x

here was me thinking it was an exotic name or something lol !! Bed sounds like a great idea!! xx

Hi Jellyhead, hope your well. How long ago did you complete lighter life? Was maintaining easy? You should join the July forum its really supportive!! x

oh I will have a look on the website to see how much it is. thanks xx

BL its not fun being busy all the time! Have you got any holidays from work coming up? x

After my mini panic attack last night I feel so much better again! I think its better than I had it before the diet and I am sure there will be many other issues but that was a difficult one. I would be nice to hear from the maintainers on how they feel its going etc. Ted.E.Bear - thank you for...

Lady T - your very right. I am lucky as I have a slim picture from when I completed LL previously. Its right next to my bed so that I see it before I go to sleep then when I wake up! x

I had a look on the maintainers forum but they don't do much talking. I am willing to see the whole process through! Really change my eating habits and get myself exercising. x

its the cambridge diet I think. Pepsi - start afresh tomorrow and use the forum for support. I had a question to ask everyone. Are you or do you know of any maintainers from LL? How difficult was it to maintain and do you have to go in and out of the LL plan to keep the weight off? I was...

thats an ace story! i think i'd have liked princess something though lol x

Are you going to put pictures up every week? I am going to take my own photos every fortnight I think. This site is confusing me, I have just discovered reputations, likes, and thank you's!! x

I am fine thanks, was on the craziest train today there was a girl fake tanning, leg on table and everything!! My first day is Saturday I can't wait!! Do you still get a shaker at your first class? x

Thank you miss Clarabow!! xx

lol more than blinking, i actually laughed very loudly. I prefer my bed to food - that says a HUGE amount!! night night BL xx

Finally managed to update my profile picture! Got home tonight so straight on my laptop but I find the website confusing on my laptop, the iPhone app seems but easier to use. Boris - are you going to tell us where the nickname came from? x

BL I was listening to Friendly Fires. Good idea going to bed, I think that will be my coping mechanism to begin with and lets be honest, who doesn't love their bed?? xx

I am so excited, its good that you are doing at the exact same time!! Although there is heaps of support on this site. Its like we are a little community. x

Matt you are so so so brave!! I took pictures the other night that will never be up for public view but I printed them and stuck them on my wardrobe as my reminder. Orinoconomore - what does your name mean?? lou xx

Hi all. Still enjoying all your posts its got me feeling all cosy and supported ready to start on Saturday!! Currently on the train home listening to my favourite band who I am going to see in November, already deciding what smaller clothes to wear!!! Hope your all having a fab day and the sun...

How are you getting on today? X

I can't even imagine liking cameras!

Lady T - I understand what you mean! I will definately put myself first from now on. It's a nicer way to think of it xx

Not for long! We will be skinny minnies!

Blubbery means you care! X

Yep really really selfish. X

I cried too. It's a hard thing to have to speak to a stranger about! It's great that he was so supportive - here we come Saturday!! X

I wish I could shrink you all and have you sitting in my pocket at all times! Good advice about social events. Will definitely make sure I don't miss out when I feel ready. I know what you all mean about putting me first. I was talking to a friend about how i feel that most people expect me...

Matt, how did you get on at the doctors? X

LadyT I love that phrase. I heard it on Geordie Shore! Blonde Logic - the laminated cards is an ace idea and will give me something to do! Boris - I am not really scary, just awesome at pretending I am. Where is everyone from? I am Aberdeen. X

I know, I know - I do love the fear that ripples through the branch when I turn up lol. I might not be as scary as a skinny minny! X

BL that's amazing!!! X

I am an internal auditor for a bank. Basically go round branches making sure they are following correct guidelines and treating customers right. How about you?

Watch greys anatomy boxset. Going to Shetland for 5 days with work in a couple of weeks. Probably start walking more but not much else. I enjoy sleeping so if I feel horrible I will sulk in bed! How about you?

Yeh I have no idea about carbs, low gi, sugar in fruit etc. Makes my mind go crazy!! X

Thanks cathy! Your support means heaps!! X

Little treats that are going to cost a few pounds! X

I have cut down loads but struggled to find anything carb free in the hotel menu tonight so had a baked potato. It will be better when I can have my packs with me. I am going to read books on food to teach myself healthy eating for afterwards as I have no idea about food! Xx

I was just wandering what everyone thinks their reason for returning to LL is? I thought I could keep the weight off without completing RTM then immediately went back to eating as normal! I am back because I know it works and want to make it work this time. X

Hi Lauren, I am due to start on Saturday after previously doing LL. I stopped carbs on Saturday to prepare myself and my headache was horrible!! Hang in there - you know it works and that's why your back! Lou xx

I also love clothes. I remember last time I went on my LL journey and I was in river island dancing like a lunatic in a size 12 dress! It's a great feeling :) Have you been cutting down this week? Are you prepared for your doctor? I had prepared a list of pro's and con's of LL but also being...

It's going to be hard, then easy then really hard some days but there are amazing cheerleaders on this site and within your local group! Think how amazing you'll feel in river island - it's the first place I am heading!!! X

Hi boris, you and I have had similar days today! I also wrote a diary talking about my goals etc. It's hard but at least we are fixing it!! I can't wait to start on Saturday!! Xx

So this morning I am sat on a train from Aberdeen to Inverness and I have been thinking about my weight and what I want to achieve. I have worked out my current BMI and I am horrified to say that it's 39.6! To achieve a BMI of 24 I need to lose 91lbs - almost a whole person!! If I wasn't sat on...

Thanks clarabow xx

One of the things I am most looking forward to is my legs fitting into hunter wellies - preferably purple ones!

If I cut out carbs before I start LL will it mean a smaller loss in my week 1 WI? As I may have lost the water beforehand? I was just thinking about this but want to double check so that I know what to expect. Thanks xx

Horrible headache last night and today - reminds me why it's easier to start cutting out carbs now as it will make becoming abstinent so much easier. Staying away from tomorrow till Wednesday with work so will need to be careful as to what I am eating. Going to start drinking water as so far...

I decided to start it straight away. My first meeting is at 930 on the 16th so looking forward to a vanilla milkshake for breakfast! Already cut out all fizzy juice and cut down on carbs. This week I am going to try and cut out all carbs. I have preferred having a couple of weeks from the info...

Hmmm I'll have had two WI's so 11lb? Don't think that's too optimistic! X

Hi matt, you excited about starting next week? Are you starting straight away or waiting till the Monday? X

Can I join in too? I start on 16th x

Hi possum. When I previously done lighter life I was in a similar situation and ended up bloated and my stomach making the craziest, loudest noises ever! I think your stomach is so used to tiny portions and mostly liquids so reacts strangely. X

So, here I am - returning to lighter life after giving up in September 2009. I successfully completed 12 weeks of abstinence then decided that I didn't need RTM but didn't bother to attempt to stay healthy. I let myself down but I definately wasn't in the right place for such a commitment. So...

I can feel my collarbones but can't see them. I also want to lose 5/6 stone. I am mainly looking for my BMI to sit at 23. Xx

Hi everyone, I am glad we are such a supportive bunch. I downloaded minimins to my phone so I have support everywhere! Matt - I done LL about two years ago so my doctors consent note is still valid. The horribleness I was meaning was the headaches and feeling that everyone looked good enough...

Boris I noticed that! Hopefully we can be cheerleaders for each other. Are you looking forward to starting? I am considering a low carb diet next week as I found the first couple of days really difficult and it might make it a little easier. I am going to give up irn bru as of tomorrow as I am...

Hi everyone, I am returning to lighter life on 16th and I simply can't wait!! I am in the correct place for it now and don't feel that I have to keep it a secret from friends because it's their support - and yours too that will make me successful this time around! Good luck to everyone starting...

Hi. I am starting tomorrow!! I have my veges, fruit and packs ready to take to work. I have previously attempted LL but struggled with not eating at all and ended up in my flat alone alot of this time. TF seems to give alot more freedom... I am very excited! x

Thank You for both suggestions I will browse the forum and see what suits xx

Hi Laura. I just read your thread you have fantastic motivation, I wish I had a little of it!! What are these policeman pills?? Lou xx

Hi Everybody. I am really looking to lose 2 stone. I did LighterLife last year and lost 3 stone in the initial 3 months, then put 1 back on. I was expecting a 5-7lb gain due to the huge loss at the start. Anyway, I still have 3 weeks of packs left to eat but I am struggling to get myself back on...
