Hi everyone! I've just started - I did Cambridge aaaages ago, about 10 years I think. Didn't have much to lose back then, but thought it was a great diet. After suffering with underactive thyroid then having a child I'm at my heaviest ever, 18st 6lb - so decided to go and try Cambridge again...

Another who has only choc tetras and peanut and choc mint bars. Had only these from pretty much the beginning - about 6 weeks ago. I really love the flavours of all these so feel no hardship in having them. Hate all over flavours. On LL I lived on veg soup and bars, I hated the veg soup but it...

A friend of mine works fo Quext, it's work from home and genuine. Think they were looking for people recently x

Glad Im not the only one that lives mainly on Tetras - apparently I'm the first person my councillor has had that does this. I'm now on to bars and like peanut and choc mint. So breakfast & lunch always a chocolate tetra, then dinner a mint choc or peanut bar - perfectly happy with this and...

I'd like some more tetra flavours - raspberry milkshake would be lovely. There are so many packet milkshake flavours, shame they don't do more of them as Tetras - don't like the powedered milkshakes and the texture is yuk!

Hi Minxie, Well I just had my second weigh in and I didn't lose anything :( I have stuck to plan all week almost 100%, but I've had a cold and a bad back so I've hardly moved off the sofa. I did have 1 cheat this week and it was an amaretto and diet coke, as I really wanted one - colds...

I had a cold whilst on Lighterlife - it was a horrendous cold and I was sooo ill - I actually came off Lighterlife for nearly 3 weeks while I had it as I just couldn't face the packs. All I ate for 3 weeks was white rolls and darylea :) It was the only thing I could stomach. Weird thing is that...

I survived 5 months on Lighterlife having 3 veg soups a day and 1 bar. I really liked a couple of the bars but hated everything else. Never really liked the veg soups but found them the least offensive. Made them into 'crisps' sometimes to liven it up a bit. Hope you find something that works...

When I was on lighterlife our counsellor said you should be in the middle, basically pink but not too dark. She said if it's too dark then you aren't drinking enough water. Never used them myself, I hate the idea of weeing on a stick :D

I've gone down a size too - my old shoes all feel too big now. What a shame that I'll have to go shoe shopping :)

I just started Cambridge VLCD after a short break from Lighterlife - I also had a cold when starting - just over a week ago. I'm feeling fine and when I had a cold on Lighterlife I was ok too. As mentioned above, there is a good selection of nutrients in the packs, so it's probably good for...

I've been so lucky in that I have only had support from everyone on this diet but when I did lighterlife earlier this year the ladies in the group all had people that would say things like that or put them down. Some of the things their colleagues said were quite shocking. I think that some...

Ibuprofen can be hard on the stomach like asprin, so that may be why your stomach is gurgling - especially as on this diet you have less in your stomach. Paracetamol has less affect on your stomach so should be kinder on your tum. I've had lots of paracetamol with codeine on this diet and...

This is why I tend to have bars and tetras. I have a bar every morning and it's so easy to have, no preparation etc. Have it with a drink. I then have a tetra around lunch the one later in the day, just grab em out the fridge and job done. Also they are smaller in quantity than making up a...

So far I've had: peanut - which I loved but then I loooove peanuts choc orange - quite liked it as I like choc orange bt it was pretty chewey cranberry - was ok but found it really really sweet Might try a choc one next week, I don't like toffee or caramel much so won't probably be...

I'm on week 2 and have mainly tetras. I'm on SS+ (3 packs and the 200kcal meal). I have a bar every morning (so far the peanut ones are my fave, followed by choc orange) I have a tetra for lunch I have a 200kcal meal for dinner My last tetra I either have late afternoon before my meal or...

I noticed my face first as did everyone else, it is always the first thing that shrinks noticably. Next is my Belly, Waist & Bottom My hands were also noticible pretty quickly as all my rings and bracelets got too big My arms and thighs were the last to shrink, still looking rather flabby...

Wow thats an amazing loss - well done! I bet losing that much is really motivating! Keep up the good work x

Tuesdays around 2pm, had 1st weigh in can't wait for the next!

Hi BridgetJones29, Yes I do remember you! I just went and had a look at the January Starters thread on LL yesterday and saw how well Calico was doing so I put a quick post there telling here how amazing she has done. Can't believe how much weight she lost! I'm really sorry about the...

Well I had 1st weigh in and I'm 9lbs down so very pleased. Stuck to it rigidly this week and actually found it easy, especially the last 3 days as I've really got in to the swing of it. I'm starting bars this week - the peanut one is lovely! I looooove nuts :) Kes, it's good isn't it, it...

Hi minxie, My 1st weigh in day was today too, I've also done 9lbs! Well done us! I bet you feel so pleased with your loss! I'm now starting on the SS+ with the 3 packs and a tiny meal (instead of 4 packs and milk) - also I'm having the bars this week too. Just had a peanut bar - yum yum...

Hiya I was nearly in the 100lbs to lose bracket when I started Lighterlife. if I'd not lost a stone a year before I would have been over 100lbs to lose. I'm over half way there now, I agree that sticking to the plan is the best thing to do as your amazing losses spur you on I think, but...

Thanks for the support! Minxie, my weigh in is Tuesday just after lunch, we are weigh day buddies :) I'm not sure how I managed to maintain so well, I learnt a lot about myself and eating when doing Lighterlife and I just tried to restrain myself and not go crazy. I didn't remove anything...

Hi CalicoSoneji, remember me! Just wanted to say I'm so impressed with your losses. You are doing so well with the diet and I bet you look fabulous. I've moved home now and managed to maintain pretty well in the time I was off LL. I only put on a few pounds in moving week as we had take out...

Hi everyone, I have just started the CD this week. So far it's all going well. I did LighterLife earlier this year (I'm usually on the LL Minimins forum) and lost just over 4st on it and was really pleased. I had to stop it mid summer though as not only was it my busiest work season (wedding...

Just wanted to add a quick post to say well done Calico! Nearly at your goal now! Wheeee! Weight wise, I'm sticking where I am for now, I'm moving to London in a couple of weeks and it's been chaotic. I've come off LL for a bit as I just wanted to make life easier and just wanted some normal...

1lb is still great! I didn't get weighed this week as I didn't want to see if I'd put any weight on with those carb laden rolls. Picked up my packs though and we all had a good chat. Been back on plan 100% since yesterday. Regular tasting food is no longer making me feel sick. Hopefully...

Well done Calico! - 4lbs + 2lbs is great! You're going to be well ahead of me now as I think I've stayed the same the last two weeks. Been really ill and not been to LL at all. I had a cold (with sinus infection and a small chest infection), but I was so bad with it. I've mainly ate white...

This happened to me, I was 17.5st and my BP was normal, I'm now 13.5st and it's low 90/60 - my Mum has low blood pressure so it may be hereditary.

I definately think it's an individual thing. I tried the Cambridge diet, but couldn't stick to it. My Cambridge lady wasn't supportive really, more just a person that sells packs. I've found the LighterLife meetings, counsellor, CBT a god send. The support you get is amazing. I have lost 4...

:8855:love it

Fully 100% agree. I hate looking for clothes online and there is a teeny tiny model wearing the clothes - she has no flabby bits so I have no idea what they'd look like on me at all. Plus size models start at a size 12 (sometimes a 10), how on earth is size 12 a plus size! No wonder people...

My doctors surgery has a weight management nurse, could you find out whether yours has one? They tend to be more open to LighterLife than others. Might be worth asking. My friend had the same prob as you though and went to the pharmacy every month without any problems.

If it makes you feel better, I hardly like any flavours and I've been on the diet 16 weeks - lost nearly 4 stone. I have 3 veg soups a day (1 or 2 made into 'crisps') and a bar (either nut fudge, peanut or cranberry) - that's it! I recommend keep trying some of the flavours, sometimes they...

Most of us in our group have had tough weeks - they pop up here and there and they really are a struggle. I'm on week 16 and I've had a couple of those weeks, where I was really fed up with the whole thing and hungry. Luckily they passed and I get back to normal. The thing is, that before we...

Ah it's great your're starting! LL is fab. I've just finished foundation and lost 3st 7lbs, but I've stuck to the program fully. There are other ladies that have not lost quite as much as they've been having difficulties with eating etc. I only like a couple of flavours. Per week I have 21...

Hi All, Doing well on my LighterLife journey and I've just had a wardrobe clearout. I've got 2 full bin bags of size 22 clothes (perhaps an odd 20 in there too). Some clothes have been worn a fair bit, others only worn once of twice. I know it's hard keep changing sizes, so I wondered if...

Hmm sounds interesting. I did my ideal weight - apparently it was 12st 1lb - my goal is 11st, so I was quite surprised. You never know, it might be right, I'll let you know when I get to 12st 1lb whether it was correct or not! I'm not sure, I think I may still be a bit flabby at that weight...

I'm a curvy hourglass size 18, big boobs, big hips and I go in at the waist. I find tighter fitting clothes the way to go. Fitted t-shirts are great - They will strech a bit over your boobs but get them to fit reasonably tightly around your middle. Go for lower scoop or v necks. because we...

One of our group got stuck somewhere without packs and did slimfast for a few days, the LLC said this was a good choice and the lady still lost lenty of weight, so if they do have slimfast you could try that. Otherwise what daisydoll said above.

I've had a few comments, people keep saying I look a lot younger. Mum thought my face now looked the same as it did about 6/7 years ago, when I was a size 16/18 back then. She said I haven't aged at all :) I must admit I felt quite old in the way I looked at my heaviest. Thanks for all your...

Glad to see you're back on track again, I've been following all your posts. I'm sure you can do it, I know you can. It's just 3 tiny more stone to go, you've done so well, I really admire you for losing so much! You look fab. :)

Just got my first Before/After pics. First one is the day I started LL, the second is week 12 (3st down). Not great quality pics, but I like the fact that I no longer have that second chin!

definatly £70 a week here too - worth every penny. I used to spend loads on meals out, snacks, takeouts etc, so I'm finding I'm better off.

Ah I'm glad it's not just me - I've not had the bullion either for a few weeks. I've just had some of the LL Savory broth (it does have salt in) in a bowl ov veg soup and I added a sprinkle of salt. Hope that both of ours picks up again. I'm sure it will.

The nurse said the doc would prob give me a blood test, so that might reveal something. Daisydoll, did you have the LL savory broth or the shop bought boullion? I think they have slightly different ingredients. Might try it to see if it helps.

My nurse always does manual readings - she did it a couple of times to double check too. Must admit I've felt a tiny bit light headed now and again, so I think the reading may be right. No, I don't think I want to start smoking/raising my cholesterol :) hee hee Well I'll see what the doc...

Hi everyone, I've got back from the nurse for my 4 weekly checkup and she found my blood pressure was low compared to my normal readings. I've always been in the 'normal' catagory before. It's 90/60, which I don't think is extremely low, is it? But I wondered if anyone else had had this at...

paigesmum, do you want to go on our list of losses that we keep posting? If so just let me know what your start date was and how much you've lost. Not sure about the boullion - is there some calories in there perhaps?

BridgetJones - start 4thJan - 46 lbs loss - Done and on to RTM! Janey B - start 7th Jan - 57 lbs loss - Done and on to RTM! BelleBee - start 27th Jan - 42lbs loss Calicosoneji - start 27thJan - 45lbs loss ------------ Well just -1lb for me this week, we had milk week, plus I went for...

Good luck for the next part of the journey Janey B. You've done so well! Hope you enjoy RTM, eating real food again!

Another -3lbs for me this week. That makes 41lbs altogether. Me and Calico seem to have synchronised weight loss!

Also to add to the previous post - teflon sheets are fab for crisps. I have 2 that are cut into circles to fit my microwave, they are easily wipable and reusable, plus the teflon helps cook the crisps well.

I've lost just a little bit more than you at 38lbs and I can really notice the difference - not so much in the mirror, as I agree with the others, it's hard to see the changes when you see yourself every day. But every month I go and try clothes on in shops. It's best to do it with tight...

Go Jan starters, go! Another 3 JaneyB, wow you're leaving us all in the dust! Not long till you reach goal! Whoop! Thanks for the post, slendablenda, nice to have the outside support. Hopefully we'll all have the success you've had. Spannerwanner, ah that's a shame that you're not really...

Blimey, nearly 12st between us 4, that's amazing! Considering we all only started in January! Well done us!! :D

Hi Janey B, you missed me out - I'm at 38lbs now :)

Another -4lbs off for me this week - so that's 38 in total. Only 4 lbs of my 3 stone. Can't believe all that's gone in 9 weeks!

It's hard when it's your boss - some can be unreasonable and it's hard to deal with them. What do you think would happen if you said no? It would be easy for me to say stand up to them, but if it would make work uncomfortable for you / you weren't able to do that, then it's not for me to say...

I've not found the diet that hard, but my head was really in the game when I started. I just get on with it, don't really think about food. I only like 3 flavours of packs, so I just have those, but I find it fine, the food is just fuel. As an update to my previous post, I just had a weigh...

Another 5lbs off for me, so that's 34lbs in 8 weeks. No idea how I managed 5lbs in a week, didn't do anything different! But obviously I was most pleased :D

How about you pick a dress out and it can be your motivational goal :) Plus you can then show us all a picture of it and we can ooh and ahh at how pretty it is :)

1lb off is better than 1lb on! I know which I'd prefer! Go on, you can do it! Keep up the good work! Just think, a few more weeks and you'll be at goal weight - think how proud you'll be. You've come this far, you might as well got all the way! :)

£70 for LL total, which is the total meal replacement course. For that you get 4 packs a day (you don't eat any regular food) and the group counselling sessions etc. It's a fair bit, but remember that you won't be buying any food or going out for meals etc - so it's the only 'food shop'...

Calico, you're doing so well. The one thing I've found in the last couple of weeks is that my size is really going down quickly, I've gone down a size in Marks and Spencers in the last 3 weeks, which is fab. I bought some size 22 jeans (M&S jeans seem to be a size smaller than everywhere...

Another 2lbs for this week, that makes -29lbs so far (or 2 st 1 lb) Second stone goal achieved!

Wow, CalicoSoneji, 6lbs is fab!! Well done you! I hope I get at least 1lb off this week to reach my 2 stone. I don't feel like I've had a great loss this week, as my tums been a bit up and down and I've been eating packs at weirder times than usual. Don't think my body likes it. Just had an...

Well I would think it was fine. The Mousse mix is pure gelatine, so technically gelaitine is on the allowed list. So as long as it's pure gelatine you used it would be the same as using the Mousse mix. Saying that, you can only use 2 teaspoons a day of Mousse mix, so make sure you have no...

Another update for me, -4lbs this week, yay! Thats 27lbs so far. 1 more pound and I'll have lost 2 stone!

Janey B, you missed my last -3lbs, I'm on 23lbs loss now :)

I've got a jumper I love, its about a 12 and I want to fit in to that. I want to go to Camden Lock and buy an item of clothing (I can never fit in to anything I see). I will get a tattoo when I reach goal with the number of stones/lbs I've lost. A constant reminder of what I've done.

Well done CalicoSoneji, the weight is just falling off! :D

I tried the Cambridge diet (similar to LL) about 2 years ago, I was only on it 2 weeks and really didn't stick to it, I messed around and decided I just couldn't stick to it, so I gave up. I'd wasted money, but I just wasn't ready. There is no shame in that. I don't know if you are or aren't...

hope

I just asked my LLC this as I go to the gym, I'm the only one in my group. They were all worried about putting on muscle and not losing as fast. I decided that I didn't want to loose the weight and then have excess skin/flabby bits, I'd rather tone it up and get stronger/fitter. The LLC said...

I've bought some nice things from Wallis. I've found stuff in up to 20 in most ofthe ranges in our local one. Although the 20 is large, so you amy need an 18. They do a petite section too. They do a lot of really stylish clothes that don't look frumpy at all.

moan

My nurse (her speciality is weight management) is the opposite, she was so supportive. She said that obviously there are some down sides, but shes had some patients on it and they've done wonderfully. Many of them have managed to keep the weight off - the only ones that didn't skipped the RTM...

That sounds fab, shame you're not nearer to me, I do portraits (I'm a photographer) and could have done you something cheap! I also want a photo shoot when I've done - thinking about one of those nice boudoir shoots. I could do it myself, but as a treat I'm going to go and get a posh one done...

doll

I'm another one who has hardly any flavours. Mainly I have the veg soup. I have this as a soup, but also make 'crisps' with it sometimes as it makes a change. I have a bar for breakfast, either cranberry or nut fudge. Thats about it! Although this week I've decided to try a couple of the...

That's fantastic, it must be one of the best feelings in life to get to your LL goal. I'm only on week 5 now, but I'm exited about it. What things are you looking forward to now that you are at goal? I bet you've celebrated (not with a meal of course!) - I'm going to pick something fun to do...

Another -3lbs for me, that takes my total to -20lbs in 4 weeks!

Hiya Well done so far - you've had some superb losses! I'm just finishing week 4. I think as time goes on, with the help of the counselling, it does get easier to get your head round it all. I too started the diet because of a milestone birthday. I was 30 last year and told myself I did...

Wonder if they will find a way to do a veggie mousse mix. I've just made up 4 pots of jelly for the week, put them is small little tupperware containers so I can just grab after dinner if I want one.

I was wondering if anyone else makes jelly with the mousse mix? I tried the mousse mix with the milkshakes, but I hated it, so I thought I'd find something to make with it. The mousse mix is just gelatine. You can have up to 2 tsp of it a day, so it's a great little extra thing you can have. I...

-3lbs for me this week. Takes my total to -17lbs in 3 weeks - this is a great diet!

Well done Janey for reaching your target! Woohoo!

Just updating as I have lost 5lbs this week, that takes my losses up to 14lbs (in 2 weeks) - and I've made my valentines challenge!! ------------------------------------------- Kenshin - 4lbs + keep up the exercise :D Daisy - lose 10lbs + get back into excercise classes - 3lbs off! Melanie -...

Can you update me, I've had my 2nd week weigh in. 5lb loss - that takes my total to 14lbs (1 stone)!! I'm so pleased!

I'm not local to you, I'm in Northampton

I was just about to post this. I have peppermint tea that works a bit, but not if its bad. I've had to have a couple of rennies this week and hopefully it hasn't affected weightloss - was going to ask my LLC tomorrow what she suggests, but I'd love some tips too.

Its funny I've been big for 5 years and am so used to shopping in the big girls shops - Evans, Yours, Wallis and M&S on occasion - all fairly expensive shops I've forgotten what bargain shops are out there. From what I remember I stopped shopping at Matalan and Primark at size 18, I'd almost...

I'm on my second week, so I'm just discovering the bars. I had a Nut Fudge yesterday and it was yummy. Kinda tasted like one of the chocolates in a box of Roses (the one that is brazil nut toffee coverd in choc). I had a Cranberry&Raspberry one today, really liked that too - yum yum! I like...

thanks for all your advice and tips - I know my other half was worried I'll be spending tons on different sizes of clothes! If I get to fit in to a size 18 (then a 16, 14 and 12) then I'll be super happy. I'll shop in some of the places you guys have suggested. Unfortunately the only family...

How does everyone handle their ever decreasing size with regards to clothes? I'm starting off at a 22 and probably have clothes to suit size 20 too. But below that I have nothing. I don't want to spend loads of money on each size I get to, not until I reach my goal. Did you just buy cheap...

That made me laugh :D I'm on LighterLife, I'm fairly new but this forum seems very good, everyone is supportive. It's great reading round the posts, I love the success stories. I also own my own business (photography) and I'm 30. Hope you have a good time looking round and meeting people!

mice

Wow! Well done. I also can't wait to be 'overweight'! It sounds so funny when you say it. But it's so much more appealing than 'obese'! You've done so well, I'm so pleased for you!

kite

I've told a few people: my other half (obviously), my mum, a friend of mine that also has weight issues and the friend who did LL and recommended it to me. I told all these people as I know they will not judge my diet, they will be supportive and I need some people to know and talk to them...

I don't like the tomato either, the texture is just wrong. I won't be picking it next week. It is grainy and powdery - yuk! I have a hand blender £4 from Tesco that helps mix things up. I also have a milk frother (looks like a mini whisk) that is great - I mix all my soups with it. The milk...

must admit I'd like to try the donut burger - I like sweet and savory together. I wouldn't want to eat a whole one just a small piece to see what it tastes like. In the past I've occasionally had american breakfasts with sausage or bacon and potatoes with pancakes and put maple syrup over it...

nice

I hade the same thing as you, slendablenda. My LLC is a tiny, very slim lady. She has never been obese or had to go on LL to lose weight. So I must admit I wasn't sure what she would be like as a counsellor as she hasn't been through the losing weight problems. But so far she seems good, when I...

I bet that was really exiting, Janey! I've got a couple of trousers like that, I cant wait to feel the same. Well done on doing so well! You'll need to buy a belt now :D

Woo hoo! I have officially started! I can now call myself a January starter! The meeting was fab last night and the ladies were lovely. I started eating LL last night as I'd only had a small lunch and had no food in the house. I had a Thai Chilli Soup for dinner (yum yumity yum!) and a choc...

Hi Emily Yep I started today! Wheee! I was really nervous just before it started, as it had been building up for a week. It was really lovely, though. The group is in it's 3rd week, so we were the last ones to join (3 of us), there were 3 ladies there starting their 2nd week and 3 starting...

I know I'm a bit late, but can I join in? I'd love to lose my first stone by Valentines day (I start LL tomorrow) - I might not have long enough to lose a whole stone, it's only about 3 weeks away, but it's nice to have a goal :)

I recenly went to a good friends wedding, I don't drink alcahol, so asked for orange juice for the toast. If I was on LL at the time it would have been water. The toast meant no less from me because I had different drink and I know that my friend would have wanted me to choose whichever drink...

Hi Queenotm, I too had a week to wait to start LL. I went to an introduction meeting last Tuesday and I'm starting tomorrow. It feels like one loooong week! I've kept myself busy with work and have done some bits to get ready for the diet. Things I've done are: Join a couple of forums...

Hiya I'm starting on Wednesday hopefully. It's all very exiting isn't it! Went to see the nurse this morning, she went through the health form and filled it in. Not much on there really. She was really lovely and supportive and I'm going to see her once a month for the checkups and a chat on...
