Thanks Susie :) ive made myself a motivation board today - it's basically a 3 month Calander and pictures and things that motivate me. My mum has just started weight watchers and lost 4 lbs in her first week, I'm considering signing up, I think I need a realistic structure to break me out of...

Awesome plan lady, I think breaking down what I need to do into little goals is what's gonna get me thought it. I've not joined a club, it's more a packed between my maid of honour and me, we are going to face the scales every week together. My first goal is to lose 1 stone....

Honeybee, that's amazing! Well done you. I have some dresses that are size 18-20 from when I was smaller and I'm really looking forward to reachIng the point when they fit again, although I won't be at my goal weight it's a half way point and something to look forward to :)

Hi all, Thank you so much for all your messages, I've been having mega manic days at work and because we are up against a deadline and all a bit stressed so the boss has brought in loads of cake! I think it might have been more challenging for me if I'd had a moment to leave my desk. My office...

Hi everyone! I'm here because I need help. I've always struggled with my weight and I've never been a "healthy" size. For the last 10 years I've bounced between 18-23stone - I believe I'm currently resting at around 21st 7ltbs. This January I turned 30 and my boyfriend proposed - we have set...

Hi all, thank you so much for your kind messages, I've been doing a bit of research and there is a slimming world club 10mins walk away from my house, and if I join before 27th July I will get the first week free, so will just have to pay the £10 reg fee thingy which seems rather good. I think...

Hi Emily, Welcome! I completely understand where you are right now, in my first 4 months of uni I put on 4.5 stone and I buried my head in the sand, I had a good bunch of mates and I've always been bubbly so I just kinda ignored it and carried on drinking and making 2am calls to the local...

Hi, Its really important not to beat yourself up for things that have happened in the past, I was 18st 7lbs when i joined lighterlife 7 years years ago and lost 7 stone, but I let old habbits get the better of me and within 2 years I ended up putting all the weight back on with interest until...

Woop! Just had 1st weigh in and have lost 13lbs, its also my TOTM so am very happy :)

Return from skeg vegas hello all, just got back from 5 day stay in butlins skeggy with the OH's family. Now the plan was to stay 100% while there, I survived the 1st day, BUT on the day now forever known as Fat Tuesday I fell off the wagon. I was bored and miserable, which made the OH...

Thank you Thank you all for your lovely messages :) I'm on day 5 and I'm feeling good. Been kinda stressful the last few days, our 'new to us' car my OH and I got 4 months ago appears to have a crack in the engine box... :cry: can't help feeling the guy who sold it 2 us knew about it. Its so...

4 lbs is really good and I believe that it is actually the average weight loss per week. My chemist told me that after the first week people lose between 2-5 lbs with 4lbs a week being the over all average, in his experience with women on LT, when he divides the total loss by the number of...

Yeah I hate people like that, you are doing something really positive with your life, and rather than offer support they come out with really negative dribble like 'you will gain it back'. Simple truth is that on ANY eating plan, if after you have lost weight and you then return to a...

Really inspiring post. Very well done you! Ames xXx

Hi all, I have been reading about LT and its been said that ketosis can give you bad breath. I spoke to my Chemist and he said that Sugar free gum isn't allowed. Listerine use to make the breath strips but no longer do, so he recommended these nuPhar Fresh Breath Strips. Has anyone else...

WOW!! what an amazing first 2 weeks! very well done you, keep up the good work! ames xXx

Hi bex, well done you, it's lovely that you are seeing the results of all your hard work! Careful you don't buy too many size 14's, you will be moving onto the size 12's before you know it! Keep up the good work :) ames xXx

Fantastic result! :) seeing everyone's wonderful weight loss is so inspiring, I can't wait to get on the scales for my 1st weigh in. ames xXx

First of all don't beat yourself up. Take a bit of time to mentally prepare yourself to start on the programme. The weekend before I started I went to visit friends and family and had several 'last meals' and drinks with them all. I talked to them about LT and the reasons I wanted to do it and...

Well done sally that's a fantastic loss! :) Keep up the good work, ames xXx

5 years ago I did LL, and after 14 days I felt like giving up. I had lost 17 lbs and I just sat and cried my eyes out because I had such a long way to go and I couldn't see the end and I just wanted to stop and give up. My friends let me have my cry and then reminded me why I started LL, they...

Hi sassy, Don't be downhearted. Look at what you have already achieved. Week 3 is over with now, and you are onto week 4. It's a new week and a new start. These things happen and there is no point in beating yourself up over it. Tomorrow is a new day and a new start. Stay positive. Ames xXx

Hi lisaberry, Good luck with your 1st week. If night time is going to be your problem time try to find stuff to distract yourself with. Reading the posts on the forum, or looking online at all the clothes you fancy wearing on your birthday. I've started playing on a WI, keeps me...

I find the best way to deal with outings and social situations where food is the norm is to actually make an excuse to those I'm with. I find if I tell people I'm on a diet they try to tempt me. But if I say im not drinking cuz on medication, or I don't feel like eating cuz of an upset tummy...

I pay £36 from my local chemist. I also asked my doctor if I would be able to get it on the nhs. The answer was No, however he was willing to give me pills or surgery on the nhs, which I believe is a great deal more expensive in the long run. Seemed a bit crazy to me but there you go. ames xXx

You were there for her and that is all that really matters, you explained that you can't eat right now and I'm sure that you didn't upset her by not eating. I wouldn't worry about what the other parents may think. I think sometimes people can be a little jealous of the will power it takes to...

Well Done Jelly :) That's a fantastic weight loss, keep up the good work! ames xXx

Hi Lisaberry :) I started LT on money and I've found this site and the people on it really helpful and motivating: just read the success stories, they are so amazing! I tried SW at the start of the year and with so much so lose I was so disheartened by 1/2 pound losses each week when I...

Try not to worry Nat, I'm sure your nan will be fine on LT because unlike most diets it is monitored by a chemist, and I'm sure they would never put your nan harms way. With the fast results people get from being on LT your nan is unlikely to be on the programme for a extended length of time...

I really love your diary Emma, you are doing so well :party0019: It would be great to see a picture of your new dress. I'm sure you will look stunning in it :) ames xXx

thank you tinkerbell and 2 sizes smaller. I'm really enjoying the site, I've been reading the success stories and diary's for a few days now and the weight loss is amazing. I know LT will be a challenge, but its one I can hopefully rise 2. I was at the doctors last friday and he asked if I...

A puppy is a lovely idea :) I have 2 little dogs and I find walking them really helps keep me active. I find its the little things you can change in your daily routine that make a big difference in the long run. I can't run a 5k, but i can now walk the dogs around the block which I didn't even...

Hi, I will be starting LT on monday, not been on scales yet but I think I will be around the 22 stone mark, having already lost 3 stone with LL. I find it difficult to exercise due to my size and leg problems directly related to my size. However, I found walking and swimming while on LL really...
