Disaster Hi Peony, Excuse the brevity of this but I am snuffling and coughing all the while and my head is trying to explode. I wanted to let you know what was going on though and not just disappear. I feel terribly disappointed with myself but I have had to stop LL for now (yesterday) as I...

Water, water, everywhere....... CalicoSoneji - Thanks for the update. Sounds as if you are doing very well thus far and I really hope you will keep me updated as its good to vicariously enjoy success. I am doing alright on this Day 3 with too many days left to even consider! I was a bit low...

Skin, Hair and Nails Formula Vitamins Hi Lucieluv This is something that really scares me too - especially as my hair is quite thin already. I had been reading around on the Internet and found that some people talk about taking the above (produced by Holland and Barretts) while on LL. I...

Salt At least we can all have a bit of salt...... (hope I am posting this right) Shelley:kitty:

Good luck Stellios Thank you for your kind words. It's lovely to hear from you and I hope that you are going to do very well once you get back on the 'blend and shake'! You did very well to maintain for a good while so I am sure that you will have the power and will to go on and do it all...

It's raining mint - halelujah! Hi Peony I like that 'wonderful turn of phrase' it is probably a fair summary of the way my strange brain works - thank you for that. Funnily enought my OH refers to me as 'a question machine' (reference came from Fringe the sci/fi show) so I think you are...

In a jam... Ooo! Rhubarb and Strawberry you big temptress! I do like a bit of jam and toast when the occassion arises for it. It's a funny thing but apart from last night (about half 11) I haven't been too hungry hungry 'today'. I am finding that I can imagine vividly what things taste like...

It's like the Sahara in here Thanks CS - good to know that it isn't just me and its you too! In the nicest possible way - if you get me. I figured it might well be a 'side effect' as I couldn't see what else it would be with the drinking and the sloshing about. Might ask about it at LL this...

Vegetable Soup (given some stick) Peony - thanks for the links I will investigate that. Like the look of the blender balls too so they could be a definate go for me. Hope you are feeling better after having a bit of 'me' time. Mr Peony sounds like a rock and I bet the little Peony seedling is...

Uses of a blender in fat burning warfare... Hi BL I did think it could be the hot water in an airtight space (blender has one of those little air holes but not a significant hole), so I have tried holding tight to the lid with a tea towel. Think what happens is the blender fires up and the...

Furry tongue, furry tongue Oh Peony. Don't be down. You have done such an amazing job getting to here and I know it seems like empty words but you really do give me hope in being able to make it myself. I find that I struggle with things around TOTM (think I must be due as I was a bit down...

Chilli con Carne and the exploding blender paradigm So in case anyone hasn't had it and is interested I tried the Chilli con Carne last night for my evening meal. It didn't look very appetising I have to admit (a bit like pureed kitty food) but once it had had a few minutes sitting time it did...

Sorry everyone that was meant to me in my own thread and not on the main forum bit. Had a bit of a 'moment' then and managed to land it here by accident. Apologies to all! Shelley:kitty:

Hi Everyone, I have been posting on my 'own' thread but I wondered if the wider world would like to answer me on this one (sure I am driving lovely Peony and BL mad!)? I started yesterday and so far am going alright without falling off the wagon (mostly thanks to this forum I think)! I...

Chocolate Shake surprise! Surprise was the lid of the blender not being on properly when I turned it on. Considering most of the chocolate shake went all over the kitchen it tasted alright - just glad it didn't get me in the new haircut or I would have been a bit cross (flick flick). And I am...

Porridge BL - Thanks for that - kind of what was thinking about it too but I think I might already be turning into an 'asker'! Peony - That was a lovely post and cheered me up. Yeah its true I want to lose a bit before I get married (in December) and also want to try and start out a bit...

Rumbly in the tumbly Hi BL No don't think that it was anything other that their opinion as to what would be best for my general wellbeing and I was happy to go along with that as I assume they are in the know. Figure for now I will just get on with it and cross the bridges as I come to...

One shake down..... Thanks again guys - that is helpful to know. I might have a chat with my LLC about it cause I think I didn't really understand how it all went and my GP didn't seem keen for me to be on it more than a few months so I figured the initial 100 days would be ok for that. I am...

Foundation to Development Sorry I am feeling a bit dense but I just love having such an amazing resource as you to ask Blonde Logic. Hope that you don't mind the cheek of my asking you things! So the way I understood it was that you could only be on total abstenance for the initial 12 week...

Thanks Peony That is a real inspiration - you have done amazingly well. I do appreciate the positive message. It's great to hear from people who have made such amazing progress (as well as those starting LL too)! I have just been having a fun little time thinking of all the things I need to...

Wobbling Hi TOTI I have decided that I am go from tomorrow in the interests of establishing a routine over first few days. I get what you mean about wobbling. Hopefully all that will wobble of me is what already does and not my resolve! Thanks and hope it goes well with you. Shelleycat

Also a bit depressing. Now that the ticker works and with my working on a BMI of between 20 and 25 that is more like 7 stone I want to lose I guess. Darn it all. I suppose that to gives me more to aspire to!:sign0007:

Testing the ticker.... I think I made it right and after all the complicated maths I think that I might have managed to make it work but lets see....

A big shout out to Nicoli Nicoli - GO YOU! That is absolutely marvellous and I am so happy for you (and a bit jealous and inspired both at once). You must have been a very good girl to achieve that. Please do let me know how you carry on and I will try and keep anyone interested up to date...

All thought and no action That is me today - all thought and no action that is- just come back home and now and looking forward to OH coming home from work later so I can bend his ear. I have just been and met a couple of my friends and feel much better for having told them about it...

Those in the know Oh Blonde Logic you really are one of those above! Full of the answers to all of (Lighter) life's questions! I read you 'blog' when I was looking at this site and still trying to decide what to do and was amazed at how open you were with the faceless world of the Internet...

Back from meeting Thanks Blonde Logic. Oh that made me laugh - are the people at your work blind or summat? Not to cast stones but really that IS inobservant. I appreciate your words of wisdom and was thinking along those kind of lines. I outright said that at my group and while everyone...

Weight ticker.. Thanks Mini. Brilliant site by the way. I will aspire to tickerdom when I have a spare minute (or at least when I manage to stop panicking about tonight). Thanks again. Shelleycat

Good luck TOTI I am starting tonight. Scary but sort of looking forward to it as well. How are you finding it now you are well and truly started? I'd love to have extra info to add to my expectations of how I'm going to find it. Good Luck! Shelleycat

Thanks guys Hi Nicoli and Blonde Logic - thanks to you both for your responses. I am getting mentally ready to go off to my meeting in a while. I have read so many reviews all over the Internet (or the echo chamber of opinions as the OH likes to call it) and been quite confused about what to...

Hi I am new to both LighterLife and using forums. Main reason I am on here now is that I start LL today (well first meeting is tonight) and I am kind of terrified. Basically I am looking for advice about what it will be like from those in the know. Thinks to expect and such. I am nervous about...
