thanks for your reply Daisydoll. It's good to know I'm not alone in the bingeing if nothing else. I can't believe how ridiculously hard it is to maintain even without the bingeing. Still onwards and upwards as they say!

I lost 43lb with LLT from Sept 2010 and have been maintaining (ish) since Jan 2011. I really enjoyed abstinance and was very strict with no lapses. I had a couple of nights off towards the end but made the decision to and was in control. Well maintenance has been a total nightmare for me! I...

thanks Slenda. Yes we can play scrabble when the kids go to bed ;-)

I'm looking forward to getting away from it all with dh and the littlies next week but I'm so worried about how hard it will be not to stick to the plan. One of dh and I little luxurys when we're away in the 'van is usually a nice bottle of red and foody treats when the kids have gone to bed...

as usual, you're all so wise and helpful I've just been to my LL meeting and am feeling much better. We covered 'crooked thinking' this week which was appropriate! Thank you all xx

:(Dh made a comment the other day about how much the diet is costing me when I'm only loosing around 3lbs a week. I do feel guilty spending all this money on something so selfish. Tbh I agree with him and had hoped for more off by now but then I wonder if I'm just trying to find excuses to stop...

I hve to fill in some graph thing with my parent state/child state thingy. Hte that sort of stuff :-(

So how happy am I then :) Only downside is the homework this week :confused::confused:

Ooops there must have been something in the air because I really struggled and licked the buttercream off some b'day cake on sat and nibbled about 10 pretzels over the w/end and licked the knife with peanut butter after doing the sandwiches last night lol! I din't have ketosis breath this...

you're all right of course and deep down I know everything you all say is true. Sometimes I think we just need to hear it from someone else. Thanks as always. x

....of eating, drinking and socialising :( and I'm only on week 4. I went to a friends emigrating party last week and drank sparkling water and missed the lovely buffet. I went for dinner with family on fri and drank water and took two packs (chilli and shake with mousse mix) so I could join in...

Ok I'm converted, I'll never skip another pack lol. Thanks for taking the time to reply ladies. x

thanks for your replies ladies. I'm also wondering if eating a pack later in the evening makes any difference to weight loss like eating your last meal at night would iykwim.

You go right ahead and gloat CharlieLou :) It took me 3 days to go into ketosis.

yum I love the porridge. I add boiling water from the kettle, then microwave for 1min, then leave to stand for about two mins. This week (week 3) I have started adding a sweetener and it's proper yummy. I have the porridge for breakfast and lunch lol. Hth. x

what's the general concensus on skipping packs? A couple of days last week I was just too busy to eat all four and felt fine. Is it a real 'no no' or is it safe to do it? Thanks in advance :)

CharlieLou that's bloomin' fantastic and really makes it worth it. It gets so much easier. I'm three months and three days in and it just gets easier with every day even though I've been ill with the worst cold. Definately the best diet I've done (and I've done a few lol) for quick results...

woo hoo, you go girl. That's fab, well done.

Hi AJB, congratulations on your weight loss. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one who constantly has to put up with peoples negative comments and trying to talk me out of it. In hindsight I wish I hadn't told everyone but hey ho. As someone has already said people don't 'get' LL or the...

thank you all. x

Bet you're really excited Emma. If you stuck to it you'll have a great weight loss to show. I can't believe how much looser my clother are after two weeks! Wish I could speed up time though lol! Let us know how you get on. xx

just had my first disaster with the moose mix trying to make a jelly. I added two teaspoons to 200ml of cold water and the moose mix stuff just went inot great big disgusting lumpy bits and the rest stayed liquid. Not really what I was hopeing for :confused: Any tips on how to make it properly?

lol it did work, I'm not as daft as I think I am!

..... lost another 4lbs so that's 11lbs in two weeks, not bad. Yes I know I should be over the moon at loosing 4lbs this week but there's a girl there who started with me and it's her first time too with LL and she lost 7lbs!! We both lost the same the first week so I kind of thought we'd have...

daisydoll, don't know how you can watch cookery progs! I used to love come dine with me but can't watch it anymore. Am trying to keep away from food as much as poss but still have to cook for the family. They're all going to get bigger while I get smaller because I keep cooking really easy lazy...

Hello. I'm going into week 3 tomorrow, can't wait for weigh in :) but for the whole of week 2 I've been ill. It started with a sore throat, headache type thing which has sparodicaly been accompanied by upset tummy. It has lasted all week and now I feel dizzy when I stand up, achey, and have no...

lol future yummy I like it!

bluerghh I hat the nasty taste, stinky breath thing. I'm nearly into week three does it get better or last the whole 14weeks?

ha ha, bed my favourite place at the moment oh and the bath!

hi again CharlieLou. Ok so your first point. Obsessing about food is exactly what I did for the first week, even dreaming about it. It drove me mad. It was definately a physchological thing rather than a hunger thing though. On day five I was in floods of tears, hormones all over the place and...

CharlieLou I crunch on ice cubes when I feel the need to use my jaws (apart from talking which I do all the time lol). The bars are great, as I said really tasty and good to feel like your eating 'real' food so hang on in there hun.x

thanks all for your replies and support :) It's great to be here!

Well done cereal for sticking with it. I've read all the replies and everyone has left great advice so not much to add from except that I started the bars this week and LOVE them and they are huge, almost too much for one meal so I divide mine through the day. Also I think experimenting is the...

just did a really long reply post and it's dissapeared arghh :mad: Thanks for your replies lovley ladies.

Hi magiclove, I'm trying to put my ticker on but with little success lol. Lost 7lbs in my first week thanks. Joiya well done sticking to it. Personaly I can't see the point of paying all that money out and not sticking but that easy for me to say as a beginner I suppose. I know waht you mean...

Hi CL. Aww my heart goes out to you on day 2. This week has been a doddle compared to the first week. Day 5 was my hardest when it finaly dawned on me how much my whole life revolves around food and I suddenly felt like someone had taken my comfort blanket away lol. I cried, I moped, I shouted...

Hi there. Have been lurking for a few days and love all your threads so have decided to join you as you seem a lively knowledgable bunch:) I'm on week 2 LLT. Been there, done that with all other diets but first time on vlcd. I'm loving reading everyones experiences and questions on here. Have...
