    why is it sooo slow

    yeah the rate of loss for me has what has really thrown me off the last few weeks. I am hoping for a biggish loss this week. Something in the 4s/5s. we'll wait and see though. I think we have to look at the bigger picture. The losses achievable with LL can not be done in the same time on...

    I asked my LLC about this when I first started as it contains bergamo (sp) oil. I was told it was ok. Sick of it now though some 14 weeks in. really would like a dirty strong brew with milk and enjoy it, unlike milk week when I was completly put off by it. tasted horrid.

    Maybe Im in developers now then, seeing that male foundation is 8 weeks (isnt it??)

    AJB, sorry just spotted that you have lost over a stone and a half. good work. Im still not convinced about exercise, as much as I have enjoyed the cycling...the more I cycle the slower the rate of loss. Im putting it down to muscle gain, but I do feel happier and fitter and that is why im...

    Any May starters out there?

    NOt really ashamed of loosing weight, but the weakness of beiong obese in the first place. always had a front of "im big but i dont care, doesnt bother me" friends call me big man/lad. Even grandad calls me big-boy. Its in my mindset that I have to be the fatbeer monster pal who hoovers up the...

    Any May starters out there?

    Hmmm. food for thought. Not at all thinking about a treat. not a massive fan of milky things and cant see the point of having more calories than one needs: isnt that part of what weight management is about? I am still not sure what my target is. Thinking I could be done in2-3 weeks, but really...

    KETOSIS......

    not too much water though. you dont want to be threatened by the lack of salts. fine balance between too much and too little, enjoy the maroon sticky

    I was probably 2-3 weeks also. cant remember now. Its gone quick, but that seems ages ago for some reason. but AJB is right, aclimatising is the best thing first

    Thoughts on Milk Week

    not sure if it is a good or bad thing. but when hopefully I will be on it for few more weeks. I am reluctant to loose momentum.

    Any May starters out there?

    :) OK I will. NEARLY 4 STONE I am really proud of myself. last night in bed I was thinking about when to go in to management. And I am thinking I could go on for another 2 stone really, get my BMI down to give me a buffer in the healthy range. I can not believe how far I have come with all...

    NO limits on RTM - is that true

    at tonights meeting LLC said that although there was recommend food steps in RTM, the amounts were up to clients. is that true. I am a little worried as I have an inability to feel full. I can eat and drink without knowing when I am done. How much is too much. Where can I find info about how...

    i love my mum

    my brothers have been badgering me for years to loose weight. they really support me also. no need for girlie chats with them though for me. I think that would really worry them if i did

    Ending Emotional Eating

    not really a problem of comfort eating...more comfort drinking. bad day have a pint, good day have a pint, stressful day have a pint. sure others are the same thinking a glass of wine after a hard day to wind down. Thats what i have to get my head round

    Learning to Love Life!

    flies by dunnit. still in the baggy's for me, but I am using new clothes as a reward in a few weeks when I hit 5 stone loss. Nicely done on the new hair cut for your stone. You should hit your 2 tonight. I am dreaming for my 4 tonight, but I doubt it. SHould get the 4 next week though. Keep...

    i love my mum

    makes perfect sense. dont think friends see the weight anyway and would rather not have said anything in the first place rather than upset you. I keep taking offence from my OH when she tells me about how I have changed. She would say things like "your belly was this and face that" and a...

    Don't believe them!

    hay just spotted your BMI Hanmac. nearly overweight. I know that sounds terrible but going from obese as most of us our and all the health risks associated in to overweight is such an achievement. Before LL, I hoped that someday I would just be classed as overweight and not obese, thats how...

    LL June Starters

    looking good and cracking losses. 32 in 6 weeks. awesome. where in scotland did you go? I went to uni in glasgow, cheap abundant booze and food as a student was awesome, but thats partly why I have to do LL now. There is internet north of the border you know :P

    Interesting Article about the speed in which weight is lost, and maintaining

    Ill be honest, if it wasnt for the speed of loss, I wouldnt even get to a point of being able to maintain. So for me speed is critical, in terms of maintaining, well we'll see on that once I get there. Anything that takes too much time is demoralising for me and for many I am sure. I would...

    how nice. Just for the record I love my mum to. Her comments last week when I was with her last thursday. Make me glaze to. She saw me two days in to doing LL, and 11weeks and she couldnt believe it. She started exante, but she is having to have a hysterectomy so been advised to stop. Great...

    Favourite flavour?

    tracy give it a couple of weeks, let your body get used to the minimal calorie level. I started walking round the village, then extending it, then riding the bus to work and walking back homecouple of days per week, then everyday, then cycling round the village plus a bit, and now cycle round...

    Big Meets Bigger

    watched all three so far on iplayer. The attitude of the Brits is pretty much what I had. ie "technically" obese. i eat well, i know good nutrition, it'll not happen to me. As I think I have said on here, reason I am doing this is for health and I know an obese guy nearing 50 had to have his...
