Hello Spangly, I remember reading your thread :-). How's it going back on plan?

Well here I am again :-( A further operation has seen me gain the pounds, so stocked up with delivery that arrived Thursday. Decided to wait until tomorrow and just put up with the Mother's Day chocolates, normally only take 2-3 days for ketosis so last hurray today with pizza for dinner...

Soup, don't have recipe to hand as just had OP but google for one xx

Dont get disheartened, that'sxacbag and a half is sugar! You had a couple of rough days ( cheesecake) so good loss and a sustainable one with real food :-) xx

Im getting ready to go to work so not long till your night shift over :-). My first day back today after 3 months off sick, no nights for me though for a while as shoulder too weak to do CPR so gotta do days where there's more staff on shift. You are doing great with the diet, sleep well xx

Not sure what I thought of these, I had my first pack tonight, yes they filled me up but I thought they were quite crunchy, like biting worms ( not that Iv'e eaten worms). Should I boil them longer. Hae some rice and pasta version on route too, looking forward to the rice, going to have curry!

They are delicious :-)

I'm cold too, and think its more than the weather turning brrrr. Have you purchased any of the mouse mix? Great in a crispy chocolate pack for when you need a chocolate fix, needed one last night and it hit the mark perfectly. Glad you are doing so wekk, keep at it, we must both do refeed...

Not been able to update for a few days but lost 9.5lbs in my first week so very pleased. Hope everyone is well xx

I would also like to lose 4 stone, 3 1/2 at the least but think 4 would be good then gives me the headroom for the little gain you get when glycogen stores are replaced. What are these noodle things? Are they allowed as extra with our pack? Hope your day is good so far xx

Well done :-)

When I did LL I used to sometimes have an extra bar whilst on nights, I always found it equalled out anyway as I'd normally miss a meal due to sleeping the following day. Xx

Dog breath :-). Tehe, mine seems to be better this time than last. Been trying to figure how much weight I've lost since starting again, think around 5lb so far but nsure as my scales change their mind within seconds if I weigh more than once! Think may need to go to boots and weigh in...

Actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, had the biggest coke zero though and ate my bar real slow in little nibbles. Haha. Xx

I had it along with a lot of my work colleagues, my GP said that there had been an influx of it, it's viral.

Was going to post this if hadn't been done, does indeed sound like viral labrinthitis, pop to drs xx

So last night I watched breaking dawn 2 it was fab :-). Had a coke zero and a meal bar and not a morsel of popcorn passed my lips so feel really chuffed with myself as that was a tough task but thanks to the ketosis fairy I could cope. Today I've had 3 packs and a chicken salad out in city...

Sure you most likely are in ketosis on day 5. I get into it quite quickly day 2-3. Hope your restart is going well. Xx

OMG. I am up early today, true to say my hubby woke me being noises as he got ready for work but I couldn't get back to sleep. This is caused by 2 things: The loudest rumbling and tumbling of my stomach. And the worst headache I have ever had, I know it's ketosis but boy I don't normally...

Deffo worth having a teaspoon full in a cauliflower, gives it a fab taste and helps bind it so its more mash like, very yummy. Will look at labels though. Xx

Second day was a good day. Shakes for breakfast and lunch. chicken stir fry for dinner bar for supper with a cuppa. Loads of water and a dr pepper zero. peed on my keto stick early this morning, nothing. Repeated again at end of day and it's a nice shade on pink plus naff tasting tongue so...

Do any of you fellow S&S fans know if we can have a drop of horseradish sauce? I love this mashed in cauliflower, makes a great mashed potatoe substitute. Thanks in advance x

Youve done brilliantly, and I'm sure you will rech that target for your holiday. How about hanging your bikini on the front of wardrobe door or a dress you are looking forward to wearing to encourage you each time you see it, also gives you pleasure in seeing how far you've come to even have...

So day 2 today. Yesterday I had 3 shakes and 100g of chicken stir fried with veg which was totally delicious. Feeling very squiffy this morning, little light headed, will see how I am after my first pack of the day it's a little early yet as tend o have around 10 am. This is the time I'll get...

I hate it too but not allowed to lift more than 0.5 kg or do any push pull actions since my op so hubby doing it :-). I did have a lady do it but she broke her arm same time as I had op. grrr. Hope your pile is not too high. Enjoy the nice clean tidy bedroom tonight. The things we do to keep...

Yes we have done it and will do it again, at least we know it works and works fast and well. i used sw after my 3 girls worked fab but tried after my 4th and just couldn't stick to it, was always tomorrow. Taking food out of the equation is the best bet for me. Good luck in your journey xx

Thanks lovely, will be watching you too, wondering which room to tackle tomorrow, need to be on top of things for when I go back to work :-). Xx

I did LL too, paid the £72 a week and had no counselling whatsoever. Started on S&S and had no problems, great to be able to have a meal pack. Sadly I've had surgery 10 weeks ago ad allowed myself to eat anything so am back on plan. Hope you enjoy the packs from S&S. I think they are quite yum.

Thanks WillpowerWoman. :-) So now having my second shake of the day, did make the oat biscuit but no liking that so will stick to my straight forward shakes for now, although have lots of meal packs so room for change later for dinner. Loce the first few days of this plan, my house gets...

Hello everyone. Some of you may have read my diary before most probably not. I did really well on a combination of lighter life then switched to slim and save and lost 3 stone. sadly with one thing and another I have put all that back on, recently I have had orthopaedic surgery and this is when...

I would like to join for a 10 pound loss please weigh ins on Thursday's xxx

I have now been on plan for 7 days, have had salad most days and milk 2 times and have lost 9 pounds in that time. I think the allowance is there and we all have to decide how eating it makes us feel etc, for me the salad is great and on the days when I work I really look forward to having it...

Fantastic weight loses posted above, I hope I can get somewhere near those :-)

Thanks Weasey :-). Now on day 4, dry furred mouth and lost 4 pounds so far! Have been eating chilli each day, had the new porridge tonight and did use milk with it as had non all week, nice to have an actual meal other than shakes too. Hope you are doing well xx

So after much deliberation and planning I have started on plan and am now on day 3 I have ordered several different flavours and have had chilli on 2 days which I found most yummy :-), quick question for you all though. In my sample box the info said to mix some shakes with milk but my new...

Oil would add lots of extra calories, I would stick to water myself xx

so after trying a few samples, I made a large order this week and am pleased to say it has arrived. Starting out on the plan tomorrow, will be doing 3 packs plus a meal :). Quick question to you all, are the wafer bars counted the same as a bar, ie as one meal replacement? tried one of...

Thanks Weasey, that's a great help. Have ordered some samples from SS, after looking at them I was shocked at price difference. I only have another 21 pounds I would like to lose if that so thinking having a meal a day may help, especially on work days, a nice tuna salad would go down well half...

I am just switching over to SS, have been on LL for a while but on just rejoining there is no room in classes, so as correctly pointed out to me I may as well do cheaper option. I did however purchase a LL return to maintenance book from ebay, so will use that.

Hello, just ordered a few samples to test out, have been on lighter life but as I cant attend group figure as suggested by another LL user that I mighht as well save cash :) How do you all know what protein meal to have/snacks etc do you get a guide with the first order? Thanks for any...

I just got a weeks supply last night (at 4 packs a day) and do like the shakes etc, all classes are full at the min and as the classes and pop ins are the same day there's not much leeway if working and sadly I need to work to earn cash to pay for it. I guess with the new price structure if...

So I have been on and off plan since prob just prior to Xmas, had a period of time when just couldn't justify the cost either! Anyhow now I am back in the zone and wanting to get going again but feel LLL might be a better option for me now, sadly all groups full at my local setting and have...

I am back today too, started using up my stored packs. Like you I didnt stick it through RTM but will this time. Good luck xx

Hey hun, I did have a mini break, but now after Xmas am back as I too was so not in the zone, have had a gain of 5 pounds but here we go, round 2 and now in the zone to shed the last bit, am aiming on 21 pounds to go and then settle at that. Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas xxx

Still here hunni, struggling as am fed up with the packs but still trying! Just bored of not eating now and if I lapse I lapse badly, crisps, cake etc! Quite content with body so dunno, might stack it in now but still cant decide, contemplating returning to slimming world. How are...

Hello all, having Internet problems at min so can't get on much. Hope you are all doing great I am still fighting the good cause and am down another 4 this week leaving me at 11.03.5. I so want to get into those 10 stone brackets so must get another 4 off soon :-). Am starting to think more in...

I don't really mind having to pay those back fees, I will use them as I find it great for breakfast at work and it will Give me a little extra if I decide on a few pounds later. :-) I am up ready for work, have Sunday off though so really looking forward to that. Have had a sneaky peek on...

hello hunni, hope you are doing ok? xxx

well that just confirms that I am doing the right thing by sticking to LL, was considering the exante but was worried about taste as LL are pretty good all in all. I can recommened tony ferguson for emergancies though, i used these before LL and they are pretty good, soups are vile though! I...

How did the scan go? Hope you dont have gall stones? xxx

Well, went today and counsellor said no worries, can pay back fees when I get next pay :) so just got the weeks packs and some mixes. Really suprised to find that after my holiday and around a 6 pound gain I am now 1 pound less than at last weigh in a few weeks back so did a good job over the...

Hi Hun, been told I have to pay the back fees by my counsellor, and suppose fair enough as you do sign a 14 week pladge. I dont have an issue paying it but my car cost me near £1000 so skint this month, hope they will let me pay the back fees at end of month, fingers crossed! xx

Hi all, So tomorrow is class, there is a new morning group which will work better for me, at the moment I am considering switching to Exante due to the costings, and the back fees to find, but will pop in tomorrow and see what they say. Hope you are all fighting the good fight xx

Have had confirmation that I do indeed need to pay for the back weeks so have 3 weeks to pay for and will get those 3 weeks of food packs, she said would have some in hand for return to maintenance. Therefore I am guessing the back week bit refers to the 14 week pledge, and after that there...

hey lovely, how are you doing? xx

Hello Lovely ladies, I am so sorry for not posting, yes you will have guessed I have gone off the rails :sigh: Been on holiday and not to group for 3 weeks, have a 6 pound gain and my clothes feel horrible on!, am also dreading the back fees as my car has just cost £900 so am broke :eek...

Urgh, I am struggling so bad, just can not seem to stick to plan 100%. :-( Any one got any ideas? any tips at all, what is wrong with me I am so cross with myself!

Hey lovely, how are you getting along? xx

Hello and welcome, as above you can expect to lose around a stone per month along with a dress size, (I have done so). Hope you are not finding it too bad? I have recently started using the gelatin powder to make a moose, its lovely and i recommend it. Will check back in few days to see...

Aww thanks hunni, You are so right, I can do it and that little gain has ready gone :-). Think my reasons were nothing more than plain simple wanting to eat, especially in the social sense which is why i feel I am coming to an end of my time on total. I guess the biggest issue us the...

With you on this one, it's hard but a real test of strength so well done you xx

Sounds like you are right, we are at that same sticky stage, I have had a few times if late where I am trying to justify having off plan foods, finding it very hard. Hope you are doing ok? And yay on the boots, will treat myself to some this week to wear with my new dresses and tights! Keep...

Thank you so much hunni, it's a great plan but sometimes so difficult too. Xxx

Hello everyone, I am still here. :-) Had a visit from family and sadly and badly ate off plan so a 2 lb gain for me this week but still chugging along, just really need another stone then will be satisfied but starting to find it a struggle I admit. On nights this week, fund plan easier in...

Hope you are well hunni xxx

So sorry to hear your sad news, certainly way way to young to go. Sadly I see it more and more at work. I have a family member who has a drink Problem, well actually one on each side of the family, it's horrible to watch. My thoughts are with you, bug hugs xx

Yep Evans for me too, popped in there over weekend but was nit overly impressed with the boots this year, think will wait a few more weeks and hope for a miracle haha! I an definitely going to aim for another 15 taking me to 10.8 then do RTM, discussed this last night with LLC last night who...

3 lb loss for me this week, boo wanted 4 to get my 2 stone but hey never mind, next week. xx

Read both of the last 2 posts with sadness, can never understand why people can not be happy for each other. Spangley, so sorry to read that you were made to feel that way, sometimes people are so negative and SB is right in that through life we have to part ways with those we once considered...

Seems you and I have the same ideas at present, see the scales still show in the 11's but I am really quite small on the top half, bit bigger on legs etc which is where it really now needs to come off, size 14's hanging off me and some 12's just a bit snug so am thinking concentrate on getting...

I would jump straight back on hunni, but make sure your head is in the right place, you got into the 10's right? so have you got much more to lose? I have trained my head to just 1 more stone, which helps big time, the new RTM will be 8 weeks I believe (longer if needed) and I hope to do...

Yep my views too, I am already peeved that I paid £72 a week for first month and received no counselling what so ever, not been able to attend group since as worked so only done pop ins. To be fair I think counselling in those first weeks is prob vital as no doubt some will of given up...

Sounds like you a had a fantastic day, must be fab to have grandchildren to help bake, I can't wait but not just yet tehe. Your upcoming trips found fantastic will look forward to hearing all about them, have fun xx

Thanks so much for your responses, if I lost 7 on RTM that would be ok I think. Am going to settle for the 10.7 as I really do feel that this would be a good weight so thus will now be my target but of course I may decide different once there. So with concentration I think I can get to that...

Not certain what I think to the new changes you speak of, after all I joined and signed up to something rather different in that I was promised life long membership for my joining fee along with long term free weigh ins once at target, not sure its fair to change that for existing customers.

Week 8 LLT, So I have been giving alot of thought to the plan over last few days, the realization that I swerved off course came when I counted that I had almost an extra weeks worth of food packs! Some of these were from my trip away to which I had gone off plan but others due to skipping...

Happy birthday! hope you get spoiled rotten, sounds like you are doing well on RTM, looking forward to hearing how it pans out week by week xx

Happy birthday hunni, 2 lbs is better than nothing well done. Hope you have a lovely weekend xx

Fab diary and weight loss, not been on much last 2 weeks so only just found and read it! Hope today is going great for you and look forward to reading about your loss next week. Cold here in Norfolk tonight xx

Fantastic loss again, and great to have all those compliments at the party, :) We should all be the Belle of the ball come Christmas.

Wow well done to you, I can not wait to get into the 10 stone bracket!

Grrrr, have been weighed and sadly only lost a pound (again) however looking at it in the bigger picture its still 25 pounds in 6 weeks and I have not been 100% abstinent with my trip away etc so all in all I guess I should be happy but need a better loss next week I think as starting to...

:8855: Still here hunni, just busy busy. weigh in tonight again although think I may skip and go to drop in instead as not much sleep last night so very tired today. Hope you are well?

So sorry this decision has been forced onto you, but like others I think it sounds as if you are giving it lots of thought etc. Please don't stop posting I love reading your posts!, and wish you all the very best on your journey from here. I know what you mean about appetite shrinking, whilst...

Fantastic weight loss hunni, you should be very proud of your self. Stick with it, it is so worth it, once you are well into ketosis you will not feel like eating. I had a few days off plan so just back into ketosis today, so right with you on those feelings but trust me they do pass, after 5...

Back in today and now at 11.12 so no weight gain left plus a pound dropped, wondfer if I actually put any on as I have TOTM which I did not have last month, think gain was just that and that I walked off all the food I ate, although I did not have much carb so prob would not have been too bad...

Lovely to see you doing so well, have another fab week xx

Day 1 back on plan completed, no problems, am now actually really motivated for another stone to come off, so all guns going ahead. First day back at work today, in now each day till Fri as weekend off again for little ones birthday party, being at work helps a bundle as at least am busy and...

Joining you Claire as I had 2.5 days of eating whilst away, did take packs but .... out of ketosis so first day back on plan today, see you at ketosis o clock hunni xxx

Thanks for all the lovely messages :D So I went to Paris for my surprise trip! and got took for a romantic lunch up the Eiffel Tower!!! Sadly my plans on food went out of the window :break_diet: which means I am now well and truly out of ketosis and will be awaiting a visit from the fairy...

Sure you will do just fine. xx Just thinking about the whole make up thing, have you ladies discovered Glossybox? Google it and read about it, you get a box of trial products each month for £10, you review them and get money off further boxes. Good way to test leading market items :) xxx

Thanks so much, am very pleased. Have woken with a really rumbling tummy today, very hungry, although have also been on oral antibiotics for few days for my ear, am on Erythromycin so nasty to stomach which may have helped with my loss this week (TMI). I realised the other day that I have...

Hey everyone, Really quick check in to update and let you know that this week I lost 5lbs, am delighted and only 6 to go for my 2 stone yipeee! On to week 5, hope you are all good? xxx

Yep my thoughts too. Where are you Claire? hope you are ok? think it was your weigh in last night so hope all is good with you. Lots of love xxx

Those little pamper days they do t the hair loss workshops are great aren't they, they should deffo do more of those for you ladies, I hope you are not feeling too bad SB. Spangley and everyone else, I recently purchased the new benefit mascara, called they're real, this is fab, highly...

Really like this post :)

Hello lovely, I hope you are feeling a little better today, backs are so much trouble. Try to get lots of rest if you can, will be sending get well vibes your way xx

OMG I do this soooo often, I wake up in the night and I am biting mine, release it and it hurts like hell but soon feels better! Hope you are ok hunni xx

Week 4, day 5 Morning all, Well I now have just 2 shifts left until I am on annual leave :D Stepped on my home scales today (I know, I know bad idea) have used them since starting though. Delighted that they now read 12.1 whey hey, fingers crossed i can get the other 1 off prior to...

Have you got bars? could perhaps cut one up and have a little nibble throughout day? I only had 3 a day whilst on nights, due to sleeping etc, but yesterday was hungry so had double porridge to catch up a little!

Urgh I cant add mine along with all of yours please can someone do xx

http://es5.static.mmscdn.com/smilies/princess.g Loopylorns 20 lbs to go:woohoo:]

that's a great start well done :)

Fantastic loss, you are doing so well, that is an amazing amount of in that short time, and big congrats on the clothes sizing too :D xxx

Thanks Ladies, Well today is week 4 day 3. Am finally off work after being on nights the last 2 days, am exhausted but glad to be off till Saturday now. The night shifts went fine but I have ashamedly missed the odd pack (due to sleeping) also I ate 3 crisps on night 1, am still in...

Way hey, get you! what a fab loss well done.:D Hope the next weigh in brings much joy too, isn't it fab how we can lose without being hungry. Send those weight loss vibes this way :D

I would say I agree, you can make it into the 10's by 26th just keep that water going :) xxx

Did you only have 3 packs hunni?

Aww hunni, I have just had time to catch up on your recent posts, so sorry to hear about your mum and other stuff too. Not really sure what to say about your eating, the days role into one another when you start doing that so perhaps it might be an idea to fix a day in your head that you...

Aww don't get stressed out by your weight loss hunni. You are doing fab and doing the right thing to get rid of it for good. Hope your return to work goes well and that you enjoy wearing those clothes :) I myself am looking forward to losing another 5 to be able to say I am 11 something...

Not there yet huuni, we go on the 9th so still another 2 weigh ins to drop the lbs! Can not make weigh in again tonight as on another night shift but hubby going to grab my packs, bless him. Night shift last night went ok, I took in a batch of freshly baked chocolate brownies and just had...

Fab idea, I have this, it helps with both the tummy and stops me feeling I am deprived, hope you are doing ok xx

Day 17 LLT. Today I am not feeling so good, have had an ear infection for 3 weeks now which is not clearing :cry: Just been to Dr's and they have swabbed it so now going to wait until that comes back for next course of treatment, but it now hurts bad. Anyways, it's a rainy day here...

Yep this is what I intend to do, will be on cold shakes as find they dont mix well hot without a blender and I am deffo not mixing those in front of others! HAHAH.

Hi SB, Don't worry I will make sure I do, although having only just finished my nursing training in Feb, I have had CBT rammed down my throat and am fairy aware of my reasons for being here. Regular LLC is on holiday so hope it gets better when she returns. Morning Cathy, sorry for...

Clarabow, I am in the same situation with social events coming up, one being a lovely trip away for my wedding anniversary, also I got married on my birthday so I suppose at least thats not 2 seperate dates hahah. I have already decided to do those 3-4 days of that week on LLL, we will be...

lol :D

Yay on the nails, love having mine done and miss wearing polish :sigh: Have a lovely few days off, hope weather stays great for you, oh and drink that water !!! xxxx

My group only opens on Mon/Tues and I go Mondays, which meant in my first week I had not a chance to exchange packs, I was ok with pretty much all of them, had shakes in strawberry, banana, vanilla, then some veg soup, minestrone and porridge. Vanilla I only buy to make into the latte as is...

I am on week 3 now, the time goes really fast, you will be surprised, good luck, will check in on you to read how you are doing xx

Thanks Clarabow And Julz, Good top have the support even though I will change course for a while. Oh my!!! went shopping yesterday, suddenly became aware that my shoes were too big, my feet had stayed a size bigger after having my last daughter! Also wore jeans which last week were a...

when you have the next one try a bit more water, beat it up with a fork, ( squash it down to break lumps) then after heating add a touch more hot water and whisk. If I do these things I love it, had one few days back out and had no whisk, it was disgusting and lumpy. xx

Hope you are doing well hunni, hump day today, love Wednesdays!

Yes I know I will have to do this, there is no way I can avoid eating whilst on a romantic break to celebrate 2o years of marriage. My husband is sooo supportive of me doing this plan, he came along to introduction week, and has been fab since I started. I already know I will eat, wont...

Yes I agree as also think I got complacent, I really think there will be certain times most of us will go through different thoughts/feelings and that week 2 is one of those! I am off today so might go browsing to look at things I want to buy when I am into a 12! XX

sending you loads of good luck vibes for weigh in, hope you are doing ok? xx

Hey Hunni, How are you and how's it going? one day of the week down, are you working today? I am off today so going to have a good clear out, have been doing this since I started LLT, clearing out stuff thats not seen the light for yonks, find it really helps with the mindset hahah. Have...

You sound as if you have new found motivation, well done! and your exercise goals are fab. I don't know what theses books are as I have not received any form of class since I started, normal LLC is on holiday so hope this changes when she is back. Your determination has given me a little...

Hello lovely, how are you doing today?, another morning means another day completed :) Hope whatever you are doing, it's a fab day for you xx

How did you find the porridge? I have this before bed normally or else I have the choc shake made with hot water (it's very good!). I do my porridge in microwave then whisk, find it mixes better this way. Hope you enjoyed it. xxx

I am really chuffed with my weight loss so far,when I started I wondered if I should wait to do so, which is my only concern. The reason for this is that my husband has booked a trip away for 3 days in September for our anniversary, I considered waiting but knew in my head that if I did that...

Aha, I go to the Norwich one, thought you might have too as you mentioned Norwich! Only 2 of you? crikey, well at least you will get a good amount of time with the counsellor, have a great week, you'll soon be into it xx

I started reading your first post and wondered if you might perhaps be a lady I saw last night, by the end of your second post I wondered even more, did you go to the early group last night, the 6pm one? if so hello there, hope you have a fab week and I look forward to seeing you next week xxx...

Know just what you mean, I am keen to lose the next 8lbs which will result in an 11 showing on scales instead of 12! in a week or 2 also? hell yeah, we can reach those goals :)

Well done on your fantastic weight loss hunni. Can certainly see a difference in the pictures, bet you are starting to notice it in clothes too xx

hey all, would someone kindly update me as I wipe the colours out! I lost 3lbs this week which means I have made my target! Hope you are all having a great day/evening

Hello all, back from weigh in (again there was no group time) Anyway got my next weeks plus one day due to bank holiday and also some water flavouring. Scales were kind with a 3 lb loss :D hope you are all good xx Lorna xx

Well done! Don't forget to update your stats to show your loss xxxx

Day 13 on LLT and weigh in tonight :eek: Struggling again today, did an online shop last night which came today and the few packets of crisps I got keep calling me! Not going to touch them but deffo wont buy any again, really do feel I am better on work days as dont have time to think of...

So sorry to read of your hurt and sadness, I am a firm believer in what is meant to be will be and I am sure that although you may not want it right now there is a fab guy out there who will love and cherish you for you, in every way. I hope that tonight's weigh in gives you a needed boost...

I ate on Saturday, only steak and salad but I did also have a diet coke, think I too am out as pee stick had no change today, although did not check first thing this morning so might be just diluted? (wishful thinking?). Oh well, on we go xx

Thank you both, I know I chose ok foods so just hope it does not hinder me badly, also it has not made me want to eat today so that's good :)

Think maybe these are just the little times that people struggle as as you know i am the same, think we need that weigh in to spure us on! I lost around 11lb last week ( by home scales) and think I too have only lost about 2 this week but a loss is a loss and the amount we have shed in 2...

options sachet, whipped into plain/vanilla yogurt is good for a low fat treat too :)

Fantastic loss :) Hope you enjoy the gym, must get back to it!

I too have eaten, yesterday, although I did manage to contain it to steak and salad, which I have to say did not taste that good! PLEASE dont beat yourself up about it, I really don't think you should feel ashamed or hide away and not go to group, you are human like all of us and without...

I felt the same 3 weeks ago, I was embarrassed at sitting in the room waiting to be weighed and did not know anyone, but what you need to remember is everyone there is there for the same reason as you, and you will receive support from them. Once you have done it once you will be fine

Just read your post, am new to the LL forum and have seen a few of your posts but not known how much you juggle and what a wonderful job you do of it! Like everyone else I wonder if you are getting all the help you are entitled to? I think you deffo need a day off from your daily routine when...

Day 12 LLT. Ok so here I am on day 12, and I have a confession to make hmm yes you will know what it is, it is that I have committed the crime of :break_diet:. Yesterday we went to the zoo and I ate lunch out! :eek: Just too much with the whole family there for me to handle, HOWEVER...

Hope the transition back to ketosis is an easy one for you. xx

Great loses so far, well done,:) I too am finding it easy, and I really do believe it is if your head is in the right place to do it. Will keep an eye on your updates, good luck xx Lorna

Thank you

oops wrong thread!

Post is great! So much of it I can relate to as I am sure others will, I too said in my first diary post about the tomorrow never coming. I hope you start to feel a bit better soon, ensure you are drinking enough as it is a well known fact that we actually eat when in fact our body is...

I hope so, although I have a pretty good idea on my weight loss ;) Am now thinking it is possible to get to the lower point of my target rather than top end, finding it all not so bad.

Hope the scales are kind to you, thanks for all you help and advice since I started :)

Day 10, phew its going quick now! I am excited to be so close to the start of week 3 and to attend my group in 3 days time and get an official weigh in. Food wise going ok, just wish I had a few extras to give more choices but hey hoe, wont get soup next week as not really wanted it this...

Well done on getting through 2 days, in another 2 you will be over the worst bit. It really does all get better, I promise :)

Now into week 2 - day 10. Have lost a stone in these 2 weeks, although this is by my scales as could not make weigh in on Monday but firm numbers will come this Monday. Wearing loads of clothes that I could not get into 2 weeks back, face and bun much smaller! Brilliant plan to follow...

I am on week 2 here are my faves so far. Vanilla shake made in large mug of hot water with a spoon of coffee in, better if you blend as goes all frothy and is very filling. Porridge = whisk it after its been in microwave to get smoother - need to measure water else it is too runny...

Hope you are by now feeling a little better, congrats on the weight loss too :)

Hey Autumn, how are you getting along today? Lovely sunny day here and my day off so all is good :), hope your day is bright and sunny too. xxx

I was 11 lbs down on Monday, can someone please update me as I will prob mess the colours up again xx thanks and great loses everyone

Welcome Autumn Leaves and a huge congratulations on your fantastic weight loss, I am a week behind you! look forward to seeing your weight loss post next weigh in xx

Will try the dry mouth spray too, thank you xx

Drinking like a fish, hope it goes soon as it is so strong and actually makes me gag, will try to drink more though!

Day 9 on LLT, All still going well food wise, not eaten anything since I started the plan, and not that fussed either, well apart from the bars I have had this week anyway! Still cooking, tonight its sausages and chips the girls want tonight. I now have 3 lovely days off work, so so...

Oh hunni, what to say? hope you are not feeling so stressed today, you'll soon get back into it, fantastic weight loss so far. sending good vibes your way xx

Good luck with the carb phase out, you will be well ahead. xx

wish I was good at sewing :cry:

Lovely treats, I really like the Coat/mac one as have been contemplating this myself, seen a fab Ted Baker mac ;) How is the Exante going? xx

Wow you are doing so well Dorothy, I too have found tights easier to get on! Have you set yourself some little rewards? think I might start to do this, will have to have a think. Are those water flavours good? I have not tried those as yet but might get some next week. Have a great...

trying so hard, much better when at home as can obvs drink to my requirements, work is not so good and I find myself getting to break or car and really desperate to drink. I do drink a full bottle on my way there, on way back and during break, but it is just so hot on the wards right now and...

Thanks everyone :) Now on day 8 of LLT. Have lost 12lbs so far, and looking a hell of a lot smaller, also several people have said that I look really well. Last night I got home from work at 10pm, my daughter had been to collect my food packs and of course this week I have the added...

haha, thats a good idea, ewww can just imagine having a stash of choc shakes and nothing else hehe

Wishing you the best of luck with your start. I too had to wait a while, I think we all mostly did so can sympathise with your frustration. The time will soon go though, xx

Love that post LadyT XX Hello Pandorasinbox's, hope you are doing well? Think having that Christmas goal is a fab idea, will help to keep you focused. Photo shoot is also a great idea, think I am going to get hubby to take pics all way through to spur me on. Have a fab day xx

Day 7 on LLT. Can not believe I have now been on plan for a week!! No slip ups and think I have done fab as still cooking family meals and baking cakes too but my resolve is strong and I shall carry on. Today I am working a late shift so bit of a lie in although still up early at...

Day 6 on LL -YESTERDAY. So I did not get around to typing up yesterday's day, went for a nice long walk in the evening breeze instead, needed to blow the cobwebs away and take half hour to relax. Just hubby and me and enjoyed very much! Anyway, yesterday was another work day, another hectic...

Yay that's brill! I too am all comfy in jeans that did not fit last week-such a good feeling! Sadly my LL group only opens Mon/Tues evenings and I have been put on shift on a late on both of those so wont be able to make weigh in, will have to send my eldest daughter to go collect the next...

I will deffo need some extra when I do night shifts, need to have something early hours to help keep energy up, will be asking about getting a few extra bars in for them, don't think it will impact too much as the net calorie of 4 packs is still low.

Hello lovely, Yes worked today too, not got a day off till Thursday this week but then I do have 3 in a row which will be bliss! Such a busy ward at the moment so certainly should be burning off some additional fat on top of the plan :) My weigh in should be tomorrow too, alas I am...

My dream = normal width boots! congrats xx

Hi Claire, Am doig ok thanks, day 6 has come round quite quickly really. I have been still cooking meals for the family and dont feel too bad doing so and looks as if I have lost around 9 pounds in these 6 days so all good.:) Sorry to hear you were feeling sick all day, I have had the...

Busy busy shift with a couple of really poorly patients tonight. Found the late shift harder than the early in terms of food pack times but managed and am now home and had my porridge. Off to bed now on early tomorrow, good night all xx

I am only on day 5 but feel the same, yesterday I cooked cakes, brownies and quiches, the quiches smelt fab but not tempted at all. Have also been into super market twice with no probs. The only thing I have found difficult is the lovely salad I have put on plates for the family, the...

Awww dogs do just the cutest things and make us smile, mine were both on their bags, legs in the air today. Just washed the floor under their bad and given them a clean blanket, my female goes nuts for a clean bed, loves it! Hope you have a good food day and a fab weekend xx

Day 5 on LLT Today I again woke early, I am deffo not as tired as I was prior to LL :) Came downstairs and let hubby sleep, browsed this forum then made him and little one who was also in my bed some peanut butter on toast and coffee and took upstairs along with my black coffee. Hubby...

You need a pair of Levis! Prior to starting LL i got my first pair, went in and asked for jeans to flatten my baby bulge. They have a new range of higher waisted jeans and measure you all over to get a fab look, was delighted with mine. Will be buying a new pair this month after pay day...

That's a fab weight loss, don't be disappointed, just enjoy the getting back into clothes in the knowledge they will be too big soon ;)

I hope your meeting with LLC goes well, not certain what to say on other issues, only that you must do what you want to do, and if the times right for you to lose weight then that's what you should do as you have to want to to do so. I took my husband along to the information meeting so he...

You have made the first step, Contemplation, soon you will be on your way. As I said earlier, I am on day 4 and have found this site invaluable so far and I am sure you will too. I look forward to reading your blog and celebrating your weight loss with you xxx

Day 4 on LLT. Woke early this morning-always do on my days off :( felt quite lively today so did another pee stick and it was bright pink-YAY. Had porridge for breakfast today followed by lunch of the mocha coffee shake then a banana shake a bit later. Today has been hard due to the...

yep the third shade of pink first thing in morning, gets lighter during day, all that water. Am doing ok thanks :)

only Monday and Tuesday evenings, with drop in on the Monday till 7pm, quite naff really as sometimes would like to pop in mid week, especially this week as got packs on Monday then you only have next day to swap them. Am trying my best to get someone to switch shifts with me.:sigh:

urgh, Im gutted. Just found out I am on shift for both of the days the class runs near me so wont make weigh in, will need to send my daughter to collect my food packs so at least I will have those but grrr missing my first weigh in is not good!

Im only 4 days in but feeling the same, however will not allow myself to spend this amount of money then stuff my face and put it all on again. The choice is down to the person and the choices they make themselves, I have a friend who lost 4 stones on the plan over a year ago and still is the...

Congrats KW, great loss. x

Hey Clara, Glad to hear you are feeling better, am with you on the whole slimming thing and peoples attitudes to LL, I have not told many people I am doing it as I know what kind of reactions I would get! I actually love slimming world in one respect and used it a few years ago to shift...

We both started the same day :) How are you feeling today? I have felt rough at some points today but not too bad really. Am in ketosis, just done the stick test so all good. Hope you are holding in there xx

I am deffo in ketosis, just got my hubby to buy some sticks on his way home which turned a lovely shade of pink, thought as much due to the rough mouth feeling, but at least I am there! looking forward to Mondays group YAY!

Thanks Clarabrow. Day 3. Finding today a little harder, could it be because I am not at work and therefore have more time to think about it? or has ketosis reached me. Woke up today with horrible taste in mouth, and have deffo been more thirsty today. 2 food packs so far today, a...

I started the packs on Tuesday so day 3 for me, feeling a little low in energy today so glad I am not working. Finding food packs ok but am feeling a little hard done by also, sadly I have had to do food shopping which was not that easy but I shall not fail...:sigh:

Fab weight loss Snoop, you must be so pleased.

Big congrats on your weight loss, onward and downwards we go !:D

Day 2 on LLT. Another work day and a busy one at that! Last night I had a porridge food pack quite late, around 10.30, I did this planning to have my first pack today at my break, which I did at 10am. Prior to this I had felt a little light headed a few times but managed to get through...

Thanks for the welcomes :) So went to meeting last night and got my 28 food packs for the week, chose a mixture of 7 porridge, 4 soup (for evening shifts at work) and the rest shakes with a mixture of strawberry, banana and vanilla. Was on shift this morning (8 hours) so just had black...

thanks so much, getting a little nervous now, really am worried about working on so few calories but we will see xx

well done everyone, doing fab! start on food packs this coming Tuesday so fingers crossed for a good downward slope next week xx

Daughter forgot to tell me lady called and said all ok to go Tuesday, so now got to wait till Monday 8th, but thats not too far away. Hope you are all doing well xx

Hi everyone, I will be starting group on Monday 8/8/11 and therefore food packs on the 9th so thought I would start a blog to help me focus on my journey. I am a mum to 4 girls and untill I had my 4th baby I did not have a weight problem and was a slim size 10-12. Between having number 3...
