Thank you for such kind and wonderful words, me lovelies! Cheered me up no end. I feel a lot better today and the little one is on the mend too. He has been prescribed a new medicine (a preventive) which he has to take every night for a good few months (possibly a year or more). Fingers crossed...

Hello Mags! So sorry to hear you are going through a rough patch. Like they say, 'this too shall pass'. You are a fantastic woman, who is very very strong. You will pull through this and I'm sure your LLC has made the right decision for you. You will have a great loss this coming week. I have...

Thank you for your wise words, ladies! I saw a different doctor who didn't know about LL. I mentioned to him that I am on a food replacement diet, to which he said that, 'diet higher in protein or being in ketosis is not going to help you recover, you need a high calorie diet'. I was so run...

Hello, hope you all are well! This is my 10th week on the programme and so far I have lost 48lbs in total (as of last tuesday; 9 weeks). Since then I have not been feeling well at all, started off with sore throat, cough, cold etc and progressed on to me running a very high temperature and...

Hello all! First off, thank you for asking about me, SM :). My LO has been teething really badly for the past couple of days, so it hasn't been easy. I have noticed that he can only go 3-4 weeks before he starts wheezing again, which is exactly what he has been doing again. It is not as bad as...

Count me in, ladies. My wednesday will involve a relaxing yoga session. :-)

Thank you for the hugs, me lovelies. I have been a bit run down this past week, but have had a good loss which has cheered me up. Lost 11.6lbs in two weeks, making me 2lbs short of reaching the 3 stone mark. Everybody has been commenting on how much weight I've lost and my clothes seem to be...

Mags, how pretty are you hun! You both look so cute together in the picture. I hope you find what you're looking for in him and have a nice time together!

Well done, Mags..you are doing so well hun. Had my weigh in this evening and have lost 11.6lbs (in 2 weeks, as missed my last WI). That's 40lbs in 6weeks. well happy :)

Thank you for your wise words, SB. It helps, honestly. I have had to miss my WI this tuesday as my LO has been in hospital again. We've had to stay in 3 days and it has been a nightmare. He has breathing difficulties and was on oxygen to help him. It was awful as he just won't settle and...

Thanks SB, I am drinking loads..not sure why I feel this way. I am having some problems with my partner atm, so I have been doing a lot of thinking. It's making my head spin. Now that I'm on LL, the confidence to speak my mind, which I had lost a couple of years ago is slowly returning. Because...

Hi Christie, You have been doing so well and have had a great loss, please do not ruin it for yourself. It could be the bars that are making you more hungry. I'm not sure because I only get 2 bars a week and live off choc shakes otherwise. If you do have real food tonight, I'd reckon the...

I wonder why I feel like sh*t. I feel so down and fed up. I have also been light-headed for the past couple of days. Housework aka slavery is increasing day by day and it's taking a toll on me. I'd just want to go away somewhere for a while, all by myself. Started yoga two weeks back to help me...

Hello all, It will be a while before I start RTM, however, I was just wondering how much does RTM costs each week? Or how much do you pay for 12 weeks of RTM? Need to make sure I have sufficient funds! x

Hi SM, haven't really got anything wise to say but just thought I'd let you know that I love cooking and cook everyday for my FIL, MIL, DH and separate meals for 8month old DS. Like you, I too would taste for spices etc, but since starting the diet, I get my MIL to do the tasting. I'd suggest...

Week 4 WI and have lost 4lbs. I was convinced I had put weight on as it is my TOTM and I felt soo bloated. Total loss in 4 weeks (28lbs/2 stones). Had measurements done and have lost 7inches from the waist and 5inches from the hips in 4 weeks. Don't know how much I've lost from the bust!

strange..I have suffered from depression in the past (not bipolar though) and I have recently been diagnosed with post natal depression. I am not taking any medicines, just counselling and have had no problems in joining LLT. You should speak to your doctor again.

SM, Asda pharmacy should do it for free. I went there for mine and the lovely lady there told me that she has many people coming in for the same. It could just be my area or maybe they do it free at all asda pharms. Also, congratulations on the loss. I doubt I will lose anything this week as...

Hello Mags! I am good, thank you. How are you feeling now? I am sure you're holding up well. End of week 3 WI and I have been pleasantly surprised by a weight loss of 7.2lbs. Was not expecting that at all! Roll on week 4. We are a class of 4, out of which two have lapsed so far. They have...

Week 3 WI and have lost 7.2lbs. I am now 4lbs short of 2 stones. :)

End of week 3 weigh in tomorrow!

Well done, Mags! You know you can do it. :) I've not had a period in 5 weeks, though I usually have them every 3 weeks..joy! :rolleyes: p.s: You look lovely in your picture.

You are not alone. I get 26 choc packs every week plus 2 bars. And that's what I have been having for 3 weeks. I just can't stomach anything else. Sorry not of any help but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

Spend a few hours last night in the ER with hubby. He had a minor operation last week and the stitches have come undone exposing a big open wound. It looked awful and I decided he needed to be seen. He's alright now but off work for two weeks. BIL who is in the RAF is home for the weekend...

Count me in as well :-) Cerealkiller - 3st on top of the 17lbs lost. Achievable? FYM - 3st Kenshin112 - 2st Magiclove - 3st Muppetgirly - 2st 11lb (-16lb so far) Slimseaa - 3st Spanglymum - 3st yoyo - 3 st (-15.4 lbs so far)

aw yoyo! I bet you feel awful. Fingers crossed your DD gets through the exam she is sitting tomorrow. Don't worry, tomorrow will be another day :-)

Goodness me! That is some loss x x. Well done nutty!

Well done kim and yoyo! So long and farewell, 17lbs.. I really don't want to see you again.

Well done, Hannah. You are an inspiration. :-)

Kim, I have been thinking about the christmas dinner too! I decided to eat that one meal on xmas but I'm not sure now. I have a feeling that once I fall off the wagon, things will never be the same. Hi SM, thank you hun. :-) I was alright with the choc for the first two weeks but I can tell...

I can't bloody wait, to be able to have 'normal' food again. No, I'm not hungry. I am just getting a bit fed up of the constant choc shakes that I have. I have started to dread my 'meal' times as it is making me gag. On the flipside, I have developed an obsession for cooking and mainly trying...

Good luck Jennifer :-)

Thank you ladies! Roll on week 3!! CKxx

Thanks, st.angelo. I felt the same, didn't notice any change in my body. But have lost a good 6lbs. I'm sure you must have to. Good luck :)

well done :-)

Had my week 2 weigh in and have lost 6lbs. :)

End of week 2 WI tonight for me :-)

4 pounds, woohoo! well done and chin up, girl! :)

Hi Mags, sorry to hear you are having trouble in your personal life. You sound like a very positive and determined person, so I am sure whatever you decide; it will be the right thing for you. Maybe hard, but you will see through it. :)

Firstly, hope everyone is getting on well :) For the last 3-4 days, I have been having a God awful heartburn. Reminds me of the time when i was preggers. It's terrible and I am trying to 'wash' it away with water, but not helping much. I have 4 choc shakes a day, don't fancy anything else at...

Not sure how good it is, but my LLC told me that it is not suitable for vegetarians. HTH.

I'm a thoroughbred scorpio :D

Way to go, Mags!:happy036:

wow, well done! :)

Thank you and good luck to everyone! :)

My LLC told us about how some men are very supportive and some start to get a bit jealous, you are doing something about your weight/life and maybe they are not. He quoted a few real life examples, some of them hard to believe, yet true. I understand that the diet is hard, but think that your...

Deal with it. :) You are doing the diet, not anybody else, which means they can eat whatever they want, whenever they like. If anything, you will only get stronger. My husband brought takeaway when I was on day one of LL. Brought some today as well for himself and his family (in-laws)...

11 lbs off. Wit wooo

Had my first weigh in today and I have lost 11 lbs. Very pleased :)

Well done :happy036:

I hate feeling sorry for myself, but I can't help it this time around. Just back from hospital as my 7 month old DS had to be admitted yesterday for having problem with his breathing. I hated seeing him in so much pain. Had a pounding headache all day yesterday and barely managed to finish my...

Having bad days more often as opposed to good ones. Couldn't sleep a wink last night as little one who appeared to have a mild cold, became rather poorly and stayed up crying all night. He started wheezing about 3 weeks back when he had an infection and had calmed down a little after 7 days of...

Thank you, Mags. You wouldn't know but your kind words keep me going. Looking forward to trying the bars, which one is your favourite? I am still living off choc shakes and I'm really surprised that I haven't gotten bored of them yet.

Can't wait for the bars, but have heard they are slighty higher in calories, does that affect your losses at all? End of day 4, DH was at work, so went for a walk pushing the pram around town. Went into boots and thought shall I weigh myself? Without thinking too much, I slipped 70p into it...

To answer your question, I wouldn't go to the wedding. :)

Hi Charlie, I find your 'friend's response slightly rude and unfair. It is really is upto you to decide whether or not you would like to eat at the wedding. However, I feel if I cheat once and get away with it, I will cheat again and again, in the long run making it harder for myself to be...

You are doing great, yoyo. Well done and have a good weekend. :-)

Not the most fabulous day today. I don't know why, but I was getting quite worked up over things i.e., baby resisting food followed by uncontrollable crying, pending laundry, cleaning etc. I had a dull headache almost all day. No hunger, like yesterday. Brought some ketostix from Boots today and...

Charlie, I can relate to you. I am thinking ahead (which I shouldn't) of the disappointment I may face. However, let's face this instead; we are all different, with different body types, different metabolism etc, so we WILL lose differently. But at the end of our journeys, we will all be thin...

Hi Charlie, I had choc shakes all day today. Guess I have developed a taste for them. Hopefully, shall start liking others too. Thank you so much, slendablenda, how amazing do you look!?!

Realistically, would like to lose atleast half a stone by end of the month (started on the 14th), but wouldn't mind more. :)

Yesterday was the first day of the rest of my life. Since deciding to take up the challenge, I have been so apprehensive, paranoid and scared. Because, no diet has ever worked for me and this one looked really promising and is my last straw. Anyhoo, my first day was worrying. I am a worrier...

Thank you for your replies. Surprisingly, I was not hungry today. I was just worried what if I can't bring myself to consume the required cals and nutrients, really dont want to make myself ill. I am a worrier, lol. Just having some choc shake and it's not too bad. I suppose that's what I am...

It's almost the end of my first day and I have barely managed 1 and a half pack. I am sat here with my veg soup with tabasco and still can't gulp it down. Started with banana shake and gulped it down. The after taste was horrible but I still made it through till lunch. Thought I'll try porridge...

Hi FYM, It's my first day today as well. Just had a banana shake, not sure if I like it. Really struggling with water though. Hope it gets better. I am really panicking thinking I wont like any packs, let's hope I figure out what I like since I'm going to be around for a while! Good luck to you...

Thank you for the warm welcome ladies. Magiclove, wow..what a wonderful loss. A loss is a loss anyway, but having lost so much, you must be over the moon. Glad to know you are feeling much better. I was just wondering if any of you have (had) a male LLC? I have one who lost 3 stones in 6...

Hi, can I please join you all? :) I go for my first meeting tomorrow and start the day after, for the first time. Really anxious and excited, too. Think I am going to struggle as have a clingy 7 month old son and would still have to cook curries for the in-laws. Also can't imagine what a slim-me...
