Having finished foundation I really need to re-focus and think I now have the mindset, so I would like to join in and aim for the 30lb loss. SexyBecks1 - 21lb to lose - 1lb lost - 20lb to go Preetieyez - 35lb to lose Milli - 28lb to lose - 4.4lb lost - 23.6lb to go Scottish Lass - 30lbs to...

Thank you for sharing your experience ThinD. I think part of my concerns over this girl is that she seems so vulnerable and under such pressure that the diet just doesn't in my mind seem the right course for her and this makes the group feel very uncomfortable. Her mother does not come to...

Fantastic Kat the inches are in lots of ways more important than the pounds as it's the inch loss that we see and feel.

We have a teenager in our group who is just coming up to be 18. This is going to sound very mean, but I am having a real struggle with dealing with this. Partly I have teenagers at home and coming out to hear more angst is hard. Mostly though my issues revolve around the fact that she is only...

Weigh in tonight and another 5lbs off woo!! That means that in 9 weeks I have now lost over 3 stone. Just breaking thorugh one of those barriers whether it be breaking through a stone bracket to the next one down or the loss making it another complete stone lost is so exhilarating.

I agree with Jo in talking the the lady first as she doen't know what she doesn't know and may be more receptive when she realises. I would also want to go to her with some suggestions as to how she can change how she asks you for information, as most people can acknowledge a problem and...

I was also told no bars for three days to get into ketosis quicker and then you could have bars from day 4.

Even though I'm still in abstinance I have started planning complete menus for the week and shopping accordingly. This has made me feel much more in control of the food in our house which has been quite a liberating and powerful feeling. Maybe planning could help you. Drinking plenty may...

Well done Kat I saw your results in the May thread. I weighed in tonight and have lost a further 6lbs woohoo!! Last week was only 2 and I thought things had started to slow down but I was feeling a bit agressive and PMT so likely to have been retaining a bit of water. We had our replacement...

Well done Sam remembering this willpower will stand you in good stead for the future when you reintroduce food.

My thoughts are that they are most likely to be cooking pears and not an eating variety.

Well it was weigh in tonight and I got weighed and only lost 2lbs, which I'm feeling slightly low about. Also our counsellor anounced that she would be going to Australia for a month and we will be having someone else. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this yet. Part of me is a bit worried...

And finally my 50th post will be Subaru!

If you could find a way to bottle that kind of feeling you would be well on the way to being incredibly rich as I would like to buy it. Thank you for sharing this as it really raises the spirits.

Fantastic Kat, the hard work is paying dividends.

Well done something I still have to look forward to, but it's nice to see that other people are leading the way.

I had already spiralled out of control, but had stabilised at a weight where I lost a small amount and then put it on again. I think it's the CBT that really makes the difference.

Have a good gloat and a great time on Thursday. It sounds like you might be moving in high circles with MD, directors and not least lords.

I really surprised myself and decided that I liked the soft bars. Now if you offered me soft centred ordinary chocs I wouldn't give you a thank you. My favourite soups are mushroom and vegetable. I find if I add a savoury sachet to the mushroom it gives it a deeper taste.

Hooray!! That's the best kind of new job the one that is better than the old one in all ways.

Fantastic MC you must be pleased to see the pounds moving. Keep at it.

We started with 10 and this dwindled to only 4 regulars. Our LLC offered us the chance to join in with a new group that was just about to start when i was in week 3. This has really helped as we are now up to 12 regulars and I find the bigger group a bit more dinamic. It has meant repeating...

It is a shame that you couldn't go with them. Unfortunately sometimes we have to choose between more than one thing that we really want. It's great that you are still close to your sisters and your mum and that you have a boyfriend you want to be with, so how lucky is that and that's what you...

Well done ana you must be pleased with that loss.

I love the idea of marking weight loss and have gone with Kats lovely idea of sewing buttons on to my LL bag. I bought some pretty pastel flower shaped buttons on ebay.

I forgot to say what a great idea to have clothes swapping at your meetings, something I might suggest for ours.

Emotions can be very near the surface on this diet as so many things are changing and so quickly it can be hard to mentally keep up. A great feeling to be moving into smaller clothes. I hope you have a great day at the HofL.

I find that the LL one is too large to pop in my handbag when I'm out. This one is more the size of a large tumbler and so is much more portable. It also fits in the dishwasher in the top rack that the LL one doesn't.

Well done Daisy. You are already well on your way to maintenance by setting the idea of a box to stay within. Roll on the day when I am saying the same thing.

Sorry guys that it didn't work out for you and so frustrated to be told you interviewed well and were too qualified.

Has anyone come across the lock and lock mixer container? I have found it really helpful for when I'm out and about to be able to mix my shakes. You can see what they are like here Lock and & Lock Round 470ML Mixer Container HPL931H on eBay (end time 02-Aug-09 15:53:45 BST)

Thanks MC just passing that stone bracket has really given me a boost.

I find that the CBT part is really helpful in helping me develop a better attitiude to food already. I feel that my thoughts are already becoming nearer to that of the slim people that I know rather than the scewed relationship that I had before.

I was just thinking about what you said about it being a long time since you felt this way. Sometimes I think you have to get yourself into that frame of mind where you are taking control, like joining LL and then people around you sense the change and all kinds of new relationships either...

I am so pleased for you. it's great that you've told him about LL and that he is so supportive. There are great men out there and you can have all the fun of that just in love feeling with someone who does sound like a proper keeper.

You've already made a big start just by deciding to do LL in the first place. Take it step by step and day by day and before you know it you will be at your first weigh in and see the results. What a supportive husband to think of something that will help you so much in the long term. The...

What an amazing start. The sort of start that can really keep you motivated.

Hi roundrachel A friend who works in careers guidance gave me a list of positive action words that when used in interview or CV leave behind a positive mental image of the candidate when sprinkled in. I hope the list below is useful. Ability Accompanied Accelerated Achieved Active...

Well done to everyone, you are all doing so well! I had my weigh in tonight and lost a further 5lbs, which means I have now lost over 2 stone. It seems like such a milestone. If you had asked me six weeks ago, could you stick to abstinance and loose that amount of weight the answer would...

Well done you're on you're way now. You definitely need to have focus to be able to stick to the diet, so I'm pleased you're back in zone. :)

You can watch the programme here BBC iPlayer - When Diets Go Wrong

I had my weigh in this week and have lost a further 4lbs which I'm really please with as I've been ill and it's TOTM. Well done to everyone else reporting their exciting losses

Magiclove you are right that nipping lapsing in the bud is a positive thing to do; however you don't fully seem comitted to this being the end of the lapse. I think that Kat is also right in that to continue on such an extreme diet you do need full comittment and may need to think about telling...

A good idea to think charity shops. I would also say have a look on ebay.

Well it was weigh in tonight and I lost 3lbs which surprised me as I have had a stinking cold all week and my drinking has been somewhat eratic.

Record spreadsheet Hi All Steve M has written a really good weight loss spreadsheet in the Cambridge Diet section of the forum on 3rd February part way down the page. http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/22861-graph-spreadsheet-14.html I hope you find it useful.

Well done it's a great feeling to finally be starting the weight loosing journey and to have such a positive start.

Margaret I can understand your disappointment, but with the amount of calories you are taking in you will have lost fat even though you put on with water retention. I had my wiegh in today and have lost 4lbs.

Well done on the 12 pounds! I hope you feel better soon.

What do you find helps you stick to with it? I've found that making up a cup of bouillon helps while cooking the tea for the rest of the family. Preparing meals earlier in the day when I'm less likely to pick and using mint mouth freshner when I get the urge to eat.

Another June starter I've just found this forum and am so pleased as it really gives you motivation to keep going. I started at the beginning of June and have now had two weigh ins and have lost 15lbs :bliss: wk 1 - 10lbs wk 2 - 5lbs 1stone 1lb
