    It all went wrong.... or maybe not

    Hi Clucks Much respect to you for going back to abstinence and giving up smoking at the same time:) A girl in my LL group did just that and did brilliantly and was one of the most focused in our group and has maintained her weight and stayed fag-free for a few months now. She said she felt it...

    Claim and Shout Your Achievements!!!

    What a great thread Mini:D Have lost 8st 5lb in just over 6 months on LL/CD and been maintaining in a haphazard kind of way for the last two months! Started at 18st 7lb and now weigh 10st 2lb. Gone from a size 22 on the bottom to a size 8-10, and from a size 24 on the top to a size 12-14...

    Demon's Maintenance Journey

    Hi Demon Just wanted to say well done on shifting 10lb this week - what a brilliant and well deserved result!:D I am really impressed how you got straight back on track after enjoying your food on holiday (as it should be!) - was it hard to cut right back after having what you fancied on...

    GEORGE MICHAEL !!!

    Me too! I couldn't believe I won the tickets - out of everyone at work I was the only lucky one and they are all really jealous. Think it was a really nice thing for George Michael to do and I feel all fuzzy and warm and appreciated for the job I do:D

    dress sizes?

    This is really interesting - so much variation in shapes and sizes when height and weight are similar. I am 5'6", weigh 10st2 (142lb) and am the opposite of pear shaped - smaller hips and top heavy (34FF). In most shops that I use (River Island, Zara, Next, Top Shop, New Look) I am a size 10...

    Help!!!

    Hiya (Slinky) Malinky Well done on your fab weight loss so far. I suddenly found that just as I finished my 100 days foundation on LL I suddenly seemed to start craving food and wanting things when I had got through the 100 days with relative ease. A few weeks later I started having the odd...

    I wanna be like you guys!

    Hi Ziggy I felt EXACTLY the same as you when I started at 18st7, thinking I could NEVER lose 8.5 stone, it was just too much and I had let things get too out of hand. People used to say "Yeah but that's just you - big and funny and smiley" I was sick to the back teeth of being big and funny...

    Little bit fed up

    Hi there Try not to be disheartened (easier said than done I know) as you have done so brilliantly so far. When I was doing LL I only told family and a couple of close friends and it took other people about 3 stones to notice but then everyone started to notice all at onece and suddenly...

    First Four weeks of lighterlife

    Hi Martine Had to reply as when I had my weigh in for LL back in April I weighed 18st 7 - I too came home and cried with despair and frustration as to how I had let things get so out of hand that I had sooo much to lose. By the beginning of October I had lost 8 stone and have almost reached my...

    Binge eating again - please help me nip this in the bud!

    Hi all Felt I needed to "confess" as the first step of getting back in control of my eating. I am on CD1000 having worked up from SSing since March, but the last week or two have had days where I can see very bad old habits re-emerging. Last night and today I have done some mindless bingeing...

    Oh My Word!!

    Hi Sparkle Your post made me laugh as I bought the DVD too - did the whole thing through the day I got it and could barely walk for three days afterwards:o.

    Deep thinking

    What a fantastic and inspiring post Debbie I was an ostritch for years and years and think I might have graduated to being a mountaineer (who has the odd ostrich-y day) and it feels great. I do still want the chocolate/pizza/chips etc but to be honest they taste fab the second BEFORE I scoff...

    CD Flavours??

    Hi Kazz I thought the Oriental Chilli was a relatively new flavour so a bit confusing if you have been told it is no longer available - I got some just yesterday from my CDC. I also thought you could have mix a mouse anytime, certainly not just AAM- but just one pack a day made into a mousse. HTH.

    I AM CRAP

    Hi Wannabeminime Sorry you are having a pants time - I found it so hard to get focused again after the times I had blips/cheats - which were never as bad as I built them up to be in my head - but used to just think "Ive failed again". I think your idea to move onwards and focus on what you...

One of my twins was/is a bit of a madam and wanting to run before she could walk (literally!) and wouldn't leave...

    TV programme last night

    Really interesting post Debbie I watched the programme last night too surprised myself by also deciding at the end that bigger seats/turnstiles/theme park rides/toilets etc is NOT the answer. In my opinion it would be ignoring rather than facing the extreme health risks associated with...

    Great thread Mini:D I am starting to smile now when I look in the mirror rather than looking like a miserable git because I hate what I am seeing. I want to be able to go into Top Shop/Miss Selfridge etc without the fear of a "fat alarm" going off and being escorted from the shop by...

    Hi Chicken Well done on your fab loss on LL - fingers crossed for that last 2lb for your 100 days.:D I did not feel any urge to lapse at all during my 100 days but almost as soon as I had reached 100 days I felt a bit unsettled, often thinking of food, and in a sort of limbo as I did not...
