Thanks, I think I have pretty much decided in my head what I want to do, I just want it to be Saturday and then I can start again. I have been so successful so far and I can stay in control, I just need to sort my head out

Hi, I've lost over 5 stone with LL and started RtM at beginning of December. That's when it all went wrong, Christmas got in the way and then at the start of January I tried to go back on packs and kept falling off the wagon and then binge eating. I went into total rebellious child mode. I...

I used to crave a Subway sandwich - I don't even like them either. Finally gave in and had one during a brief lapse period and it actually made me horrendously sick - so now the smell of them just makes me feel ill!

Has anyone used a slendertone belt - the ones that supposedly buzz and tone your muscles on your tummy? Do they work, do they do anything?

OOps haven't updated my ticker - it should read 7lbs to go!

I have got to grips with development a bit - now on the home run. I'm within my BMI and feel fantastic and everyone keeps telling me I look great. Going to start route to management in a couple of weeks. I want to get a few weeks of management under my belt before Christmas!

Eileen - I suffer from psoriasis but not had it coming back since LL. It sometimes flares up with stress and mine is always worse in autumn/winter because sunshine helps clear it up

Lulabelle - hang on in there! I know exactly where you are coming from. I am a very comptetive person and have found myself comparing my weight loss endlessly with other people in my group and my friend who is doing LL with another counsellor. When my said friend went into management two...

Thanks for all the advice - I think I will stick on development for a bit longer. Definitely not before I get to my BMI and then evaluate it on a week by week basis. I think part of my impatience is due to the fact that my husband has now finished route to management and my friend who started...

Wondering when to start management as I get nearer my goal. All of you out there who have started management - have you continued to lose weight whilst re-introducing food and if so, how much? Also did you start when you were at goal or before? I have ten pounds to go until my healthy BMI...

Chunky, You have given me hope! I too have been struggling with development and not sticking to abstinence because quite frankly I am bored but I have still 10lbs to go to my healthy BMI. I want to lose another 10lbs on top of that and I have toyed with the idea of starting route to...

I'm a teacher and have got really good at holding it for up to three hours whilst teaching (we are not allowed to leave the class and the loo is miles away). I was up 3 times last night - and the bathroom is downstairs!

I spoke to my counsellor last night - and she actually thinks I mgiht be scared of getting to goal.. I have also made myself do a thought record which really helped and also wrote a list of what i have achieved on LL so far. Hubby had hidden the scales and consequently today i feel so motivated.

Julia, I completely identify with where you are at mentally at the moment. I had a similar weekend which has really left me with doubts about how much longer I can carry on in abstinence and whether I would be better going onto management and lose the rest of my weight there. I have decided...

Monkey, I'm having one of those days too - I'm a secondary school teacher and have been running around all day. Have my nightmare class and also forgot to bring in some exercise books for another lesson that I had left at home from marking them. Managing to stick with it - have decided to...

I did so well all day yesterday - even managed 7.5 litres of water. Then tried on my new size 14 jeans I had bought on Saturday and they wouldn't even do up (bearing in mind they did in the shop when I bought them). Now rationally I know that this was because I had drunk so much water and was...

I have been exercising - mainly cardio at the gym and some toning/weights to beat the flabby bits

I am just planning to take it day by day. Had an ok day today - drunk 6.5 litres and been to gym but am sooooo hungry (due to major carb lapse yesterday) and only have one shake left

I too am struggling with the last little bit so I know exactly where you are coming from!

Mrs Lard, Thanks for the kind words - re-read my earlier post and I realise how irrational it sounded. I must admit I struggle to do thought records and perhaps I should give them more of a go. The problems lie totally within my own head and my internal chatterbox more than anything else. I...

Hi, my name's Kate and I'm new! Came across this forum online whilst desperately looking for some support. I have been doing LL for 18 weeks now. I have lost 58lbs and have 12 to go to a BMI of 25 and 19lbs in total to get to my goal weight. However, I'm at an all time low. I am really...
