I have had 2 emergency csections and 1 elected one, the first was 22 years ago and the last 14 years ago. I never lost my baby weight and just gained more in between. Since loosing weight with LL I do still have a bit of overhang and there is some wrinkling and sagginess in the skin as well. I...

If you think you are ready to start then do it now - I started on packs a couple of weeks before my class started and was ok without the additional support from the class. I was ready to start and just couldn't wait for the class to start. Good luck with which ever route you decide to take.

i'm not using any contraception and my periods have been like clockwork right from the start, until this month when I started RTM and I was 4 days late. It seems all a bit strange that it effects everyone differently.

I have found the weeks since my holiday extremely difficult, my holiday fell right in the middle of foundation. I broke abstinence during the 2 weeks we were away and then have not been 100 % since. I have continued to lose weight and at the end of foundation last week I had lost 52lbs. I have...

Good Luckwith LL and keep posting with your successes.

Your legs will get used to it and you will soon reap the benefits just focus ahead of you when going uphill and not looking down at the road for some reason this just seems to make the hill disappear quicker and just keep peddling no matter how slow you seem to be going you will soon find it...

This weeks weigh in result was a loss of 2lbs. I am really pleased with this as I am still not back in ketosis after my days of cheating myself with food.:sign0007: I have just delayed getting to where I want to be. I have re thought my goals and where I am going from here and have decided to...

Don't do it - you will regret it. I broke abstinence during my holidays 6 weeks ago and I am still struggling to have a whole week without cheating. Before the holiday I managed meals out and other social functions that involved food and only ever had my packs/bar. Stick with it and you will...

On day 91 will you have seen all your DVD's etc and covered all 14 weeks in the foundation book? Surely the foundation class can only end when those that were in at the beginning have completed all the sessions in the green book. :confused: It sounds a bit odd to me but it does seem that LLC's...

Juliakno Thanks for a great post, I am nearing completion of foundation and have found the last 2 weeks really difficult. I have actually been using the packs for 100 days now but my class doesn't officially finish until 25/9. I still have a way to go but the thought of an unending...

Not had a good day today have eaten don't know why now feel really uncomfortable. :lost: Couldn't even get my head around a thought record. I'm going to re read the green book and see what i can do different tomorrow - also will try and read some more of Mrs L's and Cerulean's posts as they are...

Like the others have said stick with it, the same thing happened to me very low weight loss then following week had the biggest loss appart from 1st week. I also find I do need more than the four litres of water my stick is very dark in the weeks that I don't manage over 4 litres a day and my...

This weeks weigh in result was a loss of 4lbs, really struggling now my 100 days finish tomorrow but foundation class doesn't end until 25/9 so will carry on with the group until then. Am feeling a bit lost at the moment so will continue to read some of the fantastic posts on here and try and...

My start weight as 16st 5lbs and my 100 days ends tomorrow and at weigh in last tuesday I had lost 46lbs. Because I started the packs before the classes started my foundation group doesn't finish until 25/9 so will carry on in foundation until then.

Well done on your weight loss and good luck with the next stage:party0011:, you start on the same day as my foundation ends. I will then go into development which I'm a bit nervous about. :( I'm sure you will be fine. I use a handblender to mix my shakes it is a tescos value one cost less than...

Hi MM 20lbs is a great loss well done:clap::clap: I've been doing LL for 10 weeks and the best advice I can give you is to try and stop the picking, it will only slow down your weight loss. Good luck for your next week:)

thats a great start, good luck for saturday

Well done on your weight loss this week, TOTM does seem to make a difference but keep it up and you will see another good loss next week. :party0011: My monthlies started about 3 days into LL for me and I found the first week really hard it made me feel a bit sick although I didn't have the...

I have had this problem with my youngest daughter for what seems like years, she is almost fourteen and has been wearing adult sizes since she was about 9, she is not particularly overweight but just a big girl, she is about 5' 6 and still growing. It is very difficult to find adult clothes...

This weeks weight loss was 3lbs:clap::clap: I started back at the gym this week so had hoped for a bigger loss but my water intake has been a bit down for the last few days still had 4 litres but I have found I do need more than that every day. This has been my first 100% abstinent week...

I am nearing the end of foundation and mine have been regular as clockwork no real chnage in time or intensity. The only change I have noticed is that I don't have the same mood swings or craving of sweet things the week before. The only time I did have the craving thing was the week after my...

no you don't I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your replys, feeling a bit more positive today and working towards coming up with some new goals as think this might help

Having broken abstinence and struggled to be 100% ever since I would agree with Sarah DON'T EAT it is just not worth it. Not only will it slow things down this week but potentially many weeks to follow - it's not easy getting back to complete abstinence. It is possible to sit in a Chinese...

I've restarted my weigh in thread as not sure how but managed to start it last week in Cambridge forum. :sign0007: Just back from weigh in and have lost 3lbs this week. :):) Not sure why but this weeks class was really emotional for everyone.:tear_drop: We are on week 9 and everybody seemed to...

Well done a stone in 2 weeks is excellent:party0038:

Well done for getting through the day, and I know what you mean about writing it down. I was having a really hard time during the week after my holiday (unfortunately I wasn't as strong as you and ate) and after a particularly bad day last friday I posted on here and have been 100% since...

D Q I'm with you on that Gok is just much better to watch, however did see the last half hour of the programme and she did look very good at the end. The saggy skin is something I worry might happen having been between 2 and 6 stone overweight for near on 20 years, I don't know if that makes...

I started having the packs on 31st May and my class started on 12th June. Really pleased at weigh in I had lost 7lbs:D So now really do feel 'back on track', although I have been more hungry than I remember being before my holiday. Don't know why this would be but hope it wears off...

Well done so far :patback:but you do need to up the water as the others have said. At my 3rd WI I thought I would make my 1st stone but was 1lb short :(it is really disapponting when you are that close I then went on to lose 5lbs the next week so hopefully if you can up your water you should...

What a difference, you look great. It's really good to see before and after photos, I can't wait to see mine. Anita

You have done really well, you have lost 12lbs in 11 days. :wow: If you hadn't gone for the pop in weigh in you would have shown the loss of 4 pounds at your weekly weigh in, which for half way through you second week would have been fantastic and you wouldn't be feeling like you are. :hug99: As...

Back from weigh in and the result for this week is 7lbs:party0049::party0049: This means I have lost holiday gain and an extra 3lbs so I really am 'Back on Track':D

Absolutely brilliant, what a great idea. All the pictures are truly inspirational:thankyou:

If I don't regularly have 5 litres a day when I go for my weekly weigh in and do the ketosis test my LLC says that I am dehydrated. My last 3 tests have been a very dark pink almost purple and before the last test I had already drunk 4 litres of water. My LLC says that we are all different and...

You are doing really well my weight losses have varied between 9lbs in the first week to a strange 2 weeks where I lost 2lbs and 3lbs and then suddenky the next week I lost 6lbs:eek: where did that come from, I was doing nothing different. The brilliant thing with this is the weekly weight...

A friend I used to work with did the diet early this year with her daughter ready for her son's wedding in July. Like us I think she had struggled with her weight for many years and her daughter had lost a lot a few years ago with Atkins but I think she had relationship problems and regained her...

I've not been to Sharm, but we did go to Hurghada a few years ago. We went in March and the weather was amazing over 30 degrees every day. The Hotel we stayed in was AI and the majority of people there were German. The entertainment in the hotel was quite good, however the day time activities...

I have know medical experience but would have thought it would be ok to continue. I think when they talk about illness that they mean serious illnesses because most people seem to have coped and carried on when they have had flu or similar.

Well done thats a terrific weight loss:wow::party0011::party0011::party0011: I only managed that after a whole week.:jelous: Keep us updated and yes I think its a brilliant diet too, have spent most of my adult life on one diet or another (I'm now 43) and this time it is working.:D

In the 1st week I didn't find not eating too difficult but for the first 2/3 weeks I was really emotional - I think this is perhaps somethiing to do with the looking at your inner self and dealing with the thoughts you find. I wish I had found this diet 10 years ago when I was really depressed...

Thanks for all your replies I don't know whether it was just writing it down or actually admitting what I had done on Friday but yesterday was just such a different day. I was back in control only 4 packs and 5 litres of water. My tummy is growling as I type this so think its time to get up...

That's brilliant - these one sided programmes really annoy me' I sit ranting at the TV when things are portrayed incorrectly and it doesn't just seem to be diet programmes. Lets hope they come back to you.

I think your right about the physical and psycologial aspect, not finding hunger a particular problem just need to sort my head out to stop the nibbling. I've got quite a busy weekend, luckily not food orientated so hope this will give me a couple of days to break the habit and really get "back...

I think I need some advice :confused:- having recently returned from my holiday which started seven weeks into foundation I have been really struggling with not nibbling and picking. I have been back since Sunday and started back on the packs on Monday, at weigh in on Tuesday I showed a gain of...

mrs lard yes that is the one I ahve been following, the recent pictures she has posted are just amazing.

Drama Queen my LLC let me start the packs just over 2 weeks before the class started I had been for my induction and got my drs form signed and i was really fired up and waiting to start like you are. I was worried that I would lose the focus that I had at that time and knew I couldn't wait...

I don't generally have my first pack until about 11/11.30 ish and then my second mid afternoon. This is ok unless I am really busy at work and then sometimes i forget to have the second one until its nearly time to go home and then I struggle to have my last two packs in the evening. There...

Hi sandra although i started LL back on 31/5 I have only just started with minimins and as you said the support here is fantastic.:grouphugg: Hope you have a great time at your meeting and look forward to seeing your weight loss next week.:)

Don't know if the info is correct but my sister was using slimfast before her holiday and lost about 16lbs in 5 weeks, she found things similar to LL in that she had the withdrawal symptons for about 3/4 days and then the hunger went and she was able to cope with only having shakes each day...

Hi I have just returned from 2 weeks in France, I had just completed week 7 when I went and had lost 33lbs at weigh in 3 days prior to holiday. I did eat during the two weeks, very sensibly for the first week - a couple of packs and a small protein/salad meal in the evening, unfortunately not...

I have weighed myself every morning since i started at the end of may, i have found it really helps me - my scales are slightly different to LLC's but I also weighed in at night so weight slightly different anyway. All I have monitored is how much I have lost since my first morning weigh at...
