Lots of events on June 5th - including my very own wedding and birthday! Luckily I've got my dress but just need to make sure the old back fat is gone by then so the corset does up nicely! Shame about the Bravissimo dress, I buy their tops with in-built bra's regularly and they've always done...

I'm the same as Daisy, mine still makes noises and I'm on day 93. I convince myself its the fat cells screaming as they are eaten up!!!!!

Hi Jez, I can't see them x

Well done you! Bet your doc was impressed and hope you're feeling the benefits of your weight loss

Like Jez says, what does your LLC say about this? Have you been doing the wee sticks to see if you're over hydrated? I'm sure it will even itself out. Are others in the group loosing - it might be a dodgy set of scales! Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end x

Hi All, Just a quicky: Just lately I've really not fancied my 4th pack. I've been a bit off colour (I'm in Dubai and sweating cobs) and feeling really lethargic. Trying to drink as much water as poss though. So in essence, will having only 3 food packs a day slow up my weight loss or should...

Thanks girls - Been a mini bit freaking out here. The sun is so hot and am concerned about my water intake too. Been staying in shade but seem to be thirsty all the time.

Forgot to say - Lighter life doesn't exist in Dubai x

Hi All, I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation but can some one offer me advice please? Due to the flights saga I can't get a flight home for another week. I'm quickly running out of packs. Since the volcano erruped I've been having 3 packs a day in order to make them last longer - Q1...

Hi All, On Tuesday I turned up for group but was told by her helper (girl who weighs us and dishes out the packs) that the group wasn't running as most people had phoned in sick and you need a minimum of 4 to run a group. Counsellor was in another group at the time so couldnt speak to her...

This custard has totally saved my sanity! I have it with a childrens plastic thomas the tank engine spoon and it made me feel all lovely and smiley. Had a tough week and a bit fed up with foodpacks. Thank you xxx

You truely are an inspiration x

Makes a change from when I wsa laying in bed before LL and thought I was laying on something - it turned out to be my back fat!!!!

I treat myself to things I wouldn't normally choose for myself - ie bubble bath: I usually get Radox, but this week I bought myself Sanctuary Oriental Float (1/3 off at Sainsburys) - still costs about £6 but never would consider buying luxury bubbles. I felt so indulged and special! My other...

Hi All, Just wondering where everyone is and if I've got any one local to me. I'm in Southampton in Hampshire, but originally from Yorkshire

Still cant get the flipping lumps out of my chocolate - make it into a paste and then use my stick blender... oh well.. i think of them as chocolate chips!

This is along the lines of the "You look tired" comment I got this morning. I had been up since 5am doing an airport run to collect blokey but that blatently was not the point!!! My reply, "Are you saying I look rough" This lady was mortified - she thought she was being sympathetic, i...

I'm in the same situation as you. I've already bought my dress, and bought it in the size i want to be. My thinking was, seeing as ive spent that much money on a dress, I'm b***dy well gonna stick to LL! The sensible thing I did though was to purchase a dress with a corset back that laces up...

What concerned me with introducing bars is the fact they are very similar to what got me into trouble in the first place. Having a stack of bars in the cupboard to me would be too tempting (if things got difficult) and i wouldnt want to put myself in a place where I could be vulnerable. Saying...

Get in there!!! Student discount cards are such a blessing - remember to waggle them in every shop you go in. They've saved me a fortune over the years, in fact, probably the reason why I keep going back to Uni again...and again...and again! Best Shops are: Topshop New Look Dotty P's Hair...

Sexychick - so sorry you were missed. What diet are you on and hows it going? x

Charity shops all the way for me! I was once told that they 'filter' the clothes according to the area of the shop. Expensive / Designer clothes go to the more affluent areas, primark/ supermarket clothes go to the less affluent areas. This seems to be true in my experience (LOTS!) A tip...

WELL DONE!! Such a massive achievement! One of my targets is to be overweight (sounds bizzare doesnt it!) rather than obese. Hope you're celebrating in style x

Just goes to show Jennifer, we're all different! I blend up my shakes and soups in the LL shaker. I have a stick blender and it works really well as it stops the splashing. Never tried blending porridge though, i usually mash the lumps with the spoon. I like the oaty texture to it and wonder...

So far only my partner knows. Ive managed to diisguise it at work by taking my powder in a tupperware. I need to be strong and confident myself and know that I'm able to do this before I start discussing this with people who may be negative. I'm not ashamed of what I'm doing. I think I'll wait...

Thanks Sean, It was totally minging! I really struggled to finish it. I had to take the bowl out just now as it was making me gag looking at it. It really is a different consistency (pre mix) to the other ones. I thought it looked like cup a soup granuals and would mix really well.... More...

Just tried the Tomato soup - urrrggghhh!! Did any one else find this one really wierd in consistency - grainy and horrible or did I just make it really badly?? I have tried all the other soups (except Thai) and liked them all. Def will not be selecting this one again!!!!!!!

Thanks girls x I now feel understood! I knew LL was a franchise but I'm stunned to hear that you can train to be a counsellor after 1 weeks abstinence! How hard must it be to empathise rather than just sympathise with your clients. Minerva - Know where you're coming from on that. I'm a...

I really didn't mean to come across as judgemental - I saw it more along the lines of - for instance - learning French from someone who was still learning it themselves. Blonde and laststraw seemed to get what i meant. Thank you Minerva and Slenda for helping me see things from another...

What is the 4 week module? I had my first meeting on Tuesday and nothing was mentioned about it? Thanks

Hi All! I started foundation on Tuesday and have just started on my foodpacks this morning. I had the porridge - which was surprisingly tasty - for breakfast and am planning on a banana shake soon. I am hungry, but my body is used to a massive food intake so its probably in shock. I've taken...

Thanks girls - I do need to see past her weight and focus on my journey. Pancras - Am not in London but Hampshire, so must be another counsellor (Unless she has a really big commute!) Am collecting my foodpacks on Thursday with a view to starting Friday. Just been sorting out my cupboards...

Hi All - this is my first post after spending a lot of time reading all yours! I went to my first LL session last night (My intro session was carried out by a locum) and was surprised to see that my counsellor is morbidly obese. Although the session went well, I don't know if I'll be able...
