    I have kept one pair of 22 trousers that I look at now and then, but everything else has gone, either to the charity shop, ebay or the car boot sale. Interestingly, quite a few "friends" said, "Aren't you going to keep them in the loft incase you put the weight back on??"":rolleyes: NO WAY...

    Just a few questions on LL

    Have you thought of Cambridge? It's very similar, but cheaper, and I'm not sure if you need to have the GP check? Although saying that, I really advise it, as my body must have thought what the bliddy hell was happening to it when I started, ha ha!

At the end of the day, if I go back to scoffing all the...

I always told myself that I wanted to be 11 stone, I'm 5"7, and I was last at that weight when I was 16. I'll be 40 in May so it's a bit of a milestone for me...

    BL, if the trousers can come down, then you can't be too far off getting into a smaller size - get thee to the charity shops!! How sad am I, got a really nice principles shrug and a coast top from the charity shop today, 3 quid each. My compulsion for food has been overtaken by a compulsion to...

    Interesting

    Hi scrnix, just wanted to add to what the guys said earlier, I think Cambridge may be the one for you. From a personal point, I finished LL in November, basically I had a rotten cold and couldn't stomach any more of the foodbacks, I sold my excess ones on Ebay, but I did list all the flavours...

    Hi BL, I'd go salsa dancing with you, we could have 4 left feet together!!! BUT, if it's line dancing, you're on your own I'm afraid! But my best mate goes line dancing about 5 times a week, I could put you in touch with her?! She's always at me to go, but it's not my thang I'm afraid! Went on...

    Thanks BL, been a bit of a tough day, spoke to my step dad who is thoroughly peed off in hospital, they tried 7 times today to get some fluid off his lung with a big needle and didn't get any, so I'll need to try and talk to the doctor AGAIN tomorrow to find out what the next step is. Plus I...

    hello !!!!

    Hi BL, Val told us right at the start (last year) not to mention the "F" word, only to say we have "lapsed" if such a thing happens!! Although funnily enough, last night, the "F" word was discussed in great detail, even down to ingredients!!!:rolleyes:

    Hi Curly, SNAP! I'm 2 stone away from target as well, (well, 2 stone 3lbs according to my LLC scales!) Tonight was good, I tried last week on my own, but I think I needed the group feeling to get me back on track. Must admit though, there were a number of ladies there who had put quite a bit...

    Thanks BL, at least one thing I have recognised is that I didn't go straight to gorging mode, which I would have certainly done in the past. Just sent OH off to do some shopping, so will take it one day at a time and see how we go from there xx

    And it was all because my step dad rang me from hospital, he sounds bloody awful, so now I'm in a turmoil of whether I should get in the car and get up there to Blackpool or wait till he comes out? Knowing my luck at the moment, I'd probably get bl**dy snowed in somewhere!!!

    Hi Julie, I know what you mean, weekends are normally the same for me. Just had a major pang and I'm afraid to say a lapse, not a major blow out but a lapse all the same, but not going to beat myself up about it though, just sort my head out and get back on it tomorrow. Bugger bugger bugger...

    I must admit, I never liked them, like chewing on MDF!!:o Now the new peanut bars, that's a different story, love those! I haven't had a bar since I stopped LL in October, so will have to wait until next Tuesday before I can get my grubby mitts on them!
