*thirst

Io drink about 4-5 litres a day. On top of foodpacks and tea and coffee. They say drink to thirt and just spread out the water throughout the day. Hope that helps!

Just back from weigh in.. Lost 5lbs! That's 2 and a half stone in 8 weeks now! Wahoo! Going to LA tomorrow for 6 days with work. Taking my packs with me so fingers crossed everything goes to plan!

Ahh good luck! I'm sure you will get on great!

Well done!!!!x

Ah babe.. At least you didn't go mental and eat everything in sight! Just draw a line under it and start again today. It's not the end of the world. You can do this : ) x

I CAN do it : ) you dont have a lot left to loose.. surely your nearly finished...

That's alright then.. Well not alright but better than a bowl of chips I guess! Don't know what's come over me today. Hopefully I'll snap out of it by tomorrow! Hope your getting on ok chick! X

Oh crap.. I ate a couple of plain prawns. Will this effect ketosis? Think I was just fed up and due on.. Whoops!!first and last time cheating! On the plus side I ate about 6 and felt really full! Never thought I'd feel guilty for eating 6 prawns that were probably only about 70 cals! Will have...

It's so weird! This is the first time I've felt like I really want to eat!! it's so annoying.. Really noticing all the food smells and people eating in my office today. It's actually driving me mad! X

Aarrghh I feel really hungry today.. Don't know why! This is week 8 for me. I haven't cheated at all but I'm Really struggling today. Eeeekk

Thank you : )

Thanks you so much! That's really helpful! I will talk to my counsellor and see what she says but tha ja so much for the advice- going to print out that post so I know what to do if I can't do RTM. Thanks again! You've really helped : ) Got 4 more weeks of abstinence left hopefully can lose...

Ah thanks guys.. You've really helped and put my mind at ease! Thanks again. Will be back when I start WW!! Excited about food now! Ha ha x

Yes I work but I live in London an my rent is huge so I struggle anyway. Going to try an do it- even if I can only do 6 weeks or something- guess it's better than nothing!

Only lost 2.5 lbs this week but had my measurements taken and I've lost 6 inches off my waist in 7 weeks! 4 off my bust and 4.5 off my hips! That's 31lbs in 7 weeks it's amazing! Want to lose 20 more pound to get to 11stone then I'm at my target. Hopefully if I up my excersise I can do that in...

Cool thank you. Yeah I was planning on going straight onto WW and just keeping the carbs down for a few months. and just do lots of of exercise. i cant wait to eat again and think i will be alot happier on WW. Its just scaring me that i might put alot of weight back on!

Hey sorry for hijacking the forum here but ive been doing Lighterlife for 7 weeks now and have roughly 4 weeks left of abstinence. I cant afford to complete the 12 weeks of the route to management programme (refeed) so was planning on doing a low carb WW. Everyone on the LL forum is saying to...

Hey, Im on week 7 and the first week was hell - going into ketosis was awful! everytime i think of lapsing i just think about how I felt then! If you think about it its only a couple of months out of your life. Once you get in the zone you will be ok!

thanks guys.. fingers crossed x

But if she wont- what shall I do?

Hey guys! I only have 4 weeks left of my 100 days and so far I have lost 2stone 5lb which I'm sooo pleased about. However my mum has paid for me to do this and originally only agreed to pay for 8 weeks. Luckily she now says she will pay the full 12. I really can't afford the price of RTM and I...

Yeah I understand but I can expect my mum to pay for another 12 weeks and I can't afford it either. If I stick to WW (and I mean REALLY) stick to it, I shouldn't put to much weight back on if I am still excerising etc? Anyway I got weighed yesterday and I lost 7lbs! That's 2 stone 1 lb in 6...

Hey! Well done on your weight loss! Just keep going.. I'm on week 6 now and so far have lost about 22 lbs. I get weighed tomorrow though so next week is week 7. Slenda- I want to do RTM but my mum is paying for LL and I can't expect her to carry on paying for another 12 weeks. I can't afford it...

Hey karamac! How was your first day? I have to say it's much harder the 2nd time but my advice is just take each day as it comes and don't cheat- don't even pick at anything. That's when it goes down hill! It is a hard diet but we all know it works! The first week is the hardest but after that...

Had my weigh in Monday- lost only 3lbs but that's 19 in 4 weeks I'm fitting comfortably in a 14 now. Hurrah! One more dress size till I'm At my goal! Wahoo. Going to LA with work on the 31st of aug. Going to take my packs but have a light evening meal to be sociable etc so that's something to...

Thanks! It was sooo hard! I hate not drinking : ( got a couple of other festivals to go to this summer so just hope I can stick to it then. Can't believe it's been 4 weeks on Monday!

I'm sure it will Mel! I'm ALWAYS tired! I drag myself swimming and always feel so much better after couldn't face the gym but once I get going at swimming all my energy comes back- try that instead? So exciting about your dress! : )

Tracey- hope your ok & was nothing to do with the diet! Stay strong.. X

BORED! Ha! But put some shorts on that didn't fit before & they are literally falling off me.. Have had to wear them with a really tight belt! Yipeeeee! How you getting on?

Only 2 lb off this week! Bit disappointed seeing as I've stuck To it completely! But hey it's 16.5 lbs in 3 weeks so can't complain. Just need to up my excersise. Going to do a class at the gym and up my swimming to twice a week instead of once! I WILL be a size 12!!! Ha ha

Hey! How's everyone getting on?! Been so busy so haven't had time To post. Can't believe I've done 3 weeks now! Startin to get bored though! Ha! Don't think I'm going to be able to handle 3 months. I'm Aiming for 5 more weeks and see how I feel From there I think.. Got weighed last Monday and I...

Ahh well done ladies! We are all doing so well! How are you finding it Mrs R? I was shaky and horrible for first 5 days so don't worry it will pass. Still feel a bit 'spaced' out now and again aswell. Right well I'm off to a festival today - must avoid beer & cider....! Ha! Have a good weekend...

We had a talk last night and I told him exactly how I fell. I don't think he realised how hard this is and didn't really understand it. He feels really bad now and is making a massive effort! He says he doesn't think I need to diet but will support me and says I'm doing really well! Think I...

Feeling much better today!! Still going : )

I'm originally from Windsor but live in London now- islington! Feel much better today! Well done Mel your doing so well! Good luck everyone else! Keep going - we will all be skinny minnies in no time ; )

I'm having major problems with my boyfriend and think I'm going to have to move out of our flat. All I want to do is get a bottle of wine & cry : ( but I lost 11lbs in a 8 days so I will Not let him drag me down.. Why is it always the people you love the most that let you down? I'm going to...

Mel - 7.5 stone? Blooming hell! That's amazing.. See you did it before! Just remember how you felt then! I'm determined to keep the weight off this time. I'm going to join slimming world or WW as soon as I finish the 100 days or the 2 months (depending on how much I've lost) to make sure I keep...

Hey guys.. I had my weigh in and lost 11lbs!! Really can't believe it?! So happy! It's given me a massive boost. Well my friends and boyf are just being quite negative about it saying I'll put the weight back on straight away.. And just not being there for me etc! It's times like this I need...

OMG I lost 11lbs!!!! Thanks loop xx

Ah thank you!! Good luck for day 1 tomorrow. You'll be fine! : )

I just can't stomach the soups- think it's the smell! So I'm swapping all my soups for more bars and shakes tomorrow. Not getting much support from friends/boyfriend at the moment so feeling a bit crappy today : ( still not going to cheat though!!

Day 8!! My counsellor had to cancel my pop in so not getting weighed until tomorrow now (she has only just got back from holiday so have missed a meeting) I'm gagging to Find out how much ive lost! still think I feel a bit hungry sometimes. Not sure if thus my mind playing tricks on me? Not...

Woo hoo! Well done x

wow thats brilliant!! just had a voicemail from my counsellor- she had to cancel tonight so I have to wait till tomorrow to get weighed! : ( i was really looking forward to that! damn it.. ahh well hopefully will have lost more by tomorrow! : ) what does everyone think of the pack flavors? im...

Course you can! im getting weighed tonight.. fingers crossed!

Ah thanks for this! Good tips too! Thank you. Will stay well clear then : )

Well done!! Just take one day at a time like me.. It's so much harder the second time round. You've done it before so you know you can do it again!

Well done on day 1 though! The first week is a killer!

Coke zero has no citric acid apparently? Being blonde here but what's boullion? Lol

I've seen on a few sites that you can have one coke zero a day on LL.. Is this true? What does everyone think?

I'm on day 7... Finding it really hard! Not the hunger- I can deal with that. It's seeing food everywhere! And not drinking. I haven't cheated once but think about it all the time! I'm trying to take one day at a time as when I think about nit eating or drinking or being able to really socialise...

It is really hard, I'm still struggling. I can't imagine doing this for the next three months. So I am just taking it one day at a time. This is day 7 for me- my counsellor is still on holiday so not getting weighed until next Monday!! Eeek! I still haven't lapsed. I'm not gonna lie- I think...

Cool thanks! Yep I've been 100% good : ) thanks guys. Think I will literally puke if I have to drink one of those soups! Ha ha!

Thanks! No because my counsellor has been on holiday- I started on Tues and she went on ties night, she is back this tues though.. Maybe I'll risk it. Is it right that you are only allowed 2 a day?

*day 6 (started on Tuesday)

I'm now on day and only have mostly soup packs left as realised I don't actually like them so just been drinking the shakes. I got 2 weeks worth as my counsellor is on holiday. I have a few milkshakes left and some bars that i know I'm only allowed on the second week. However my counsellor...

Day 5- feeling a bit better today. Not hungry at all but not sure whether that's to do with the heat or not. Drunk loads of water today seeing as it's boiling!! I hate a little bit of water with a pinch of salt in it last night and had no restless legs or leg cramps woo hoo! Went out to meet...

Oh no! Why would you have to leave? I drink slot of water normally anyway so I'm just drinking maybe 2 litresmore than normal (even more in this heat) I was getting bad leg cramps etc the first few days but drunk some water with a pinch of salt in last night before bed so was fine last night...

Thanks : ) will do!

Don't really like the savoury packs so might just try and drink some salty water (yuck!) getting the cramps at night along with restless legs. I used to eat slot of salt (my mum was always telling me off) so probably body probably isn't used to it! Thanks : )

How much water does everyone recommend drinking? I'm drinking about 4 litres at the mo but I drunk about 3 litres when I was eating normally anyway. But I'm scared to drink too much.. I'm finding that even after 4 I'm still thirsty. I get through 4 by about 7pm?

Thanks hun.. It helps to hear things like that! Think I started around Feb time last time so wasn't this hot- prob not helping! I'm drinking about 4 litres a day but I drink about 3 normally anyway so maybe need to try drink more. Feel slightly better than last night so hopefully will feel ok...

I started again on Tuesday. I first did LL 5 years ago and I'm definitely finding it harder this time round! Need some support! : ) I'm struggling already- not with hunger but just feeling a bit crap Natasha z

I did LL 5 years ago and lost 3.5 stone.. I put it all back on aswell so I've started again. I'm on day 4 of refreshers and struggling- not with the hunger but with feeling crap, upset stomach and a bit lightheaded. Really hope it passes soon! Think I probably needs to do foundation again but my...

Hey, I started Lighterlife again on Tuesday so I'm currently on day 4. I'm finding it really hard not drinking alcohol and I'm constantly thinking about food! Arrghh! I completed 100 days back in 2005 and lost 3.5 stone but then I went off to live in Ibiza for 6 months and put it all back...
