    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    :sigh:Disastrous week, the day I was due to go in, car broke down in public parking area and the stress of having no car, lots of errands and no means of transport to do anything took its toll. I have put the LL journey on hold until I have a car again (cannot access LL easily from where I am...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Things not going well... I'm with you on this Magiclove, and well done you for sticking to the process with less than great support from the LLC. I have not managed as well, so have had several lapses this past week.:ashamed0005: I need to make sense of it all and go back to it because I know...

    Trying again - 3rd time lucky!!

    Hi Potbelly How are you finding your returners group? How are things shaping up for you? I am on my second attempt, having unfortunately not gone down the RTM route first time and subsequently gaining 2/3rds of what I 'd lost. Best of luck this time, I hope your group and LLC help you through...

    Going from LL to another diet plan

    My experience Hi Nat, I 've tried twice, once with Exante and once with W8togo, but both times failed within a couple of days because I missed the group work and accountability / discipline encouraged in group while with LL. If I were to try again, I would first establish that there is a...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Thanks yoyo, I will check around for a more suitable group and perhaps LLC, once the 4 week set I've committed to is complete (after next week, today is my 3rd WI). I agree, it does not feel the same as foundation or developers and something tells me there will be resistance by some LLCs if I...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    13 days in today... I am now almost wrapping up 2nd week of refreshers and tomorrow will be D-day for the lapses that are now behind me. I am still shaky from them, and the fact that there were 2 of them in a week. I need to look ahead though, so will endeavour to do just that. The internal...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    hi yo yo thank you so much for your good advice, I've read some of your input in other threads and can identify with so many of you. I am clear on one thing: this to me is not about the way I look alone, not even primarily about it. This to me is about equilibrium, about knowing what place in...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Thanks for that Slendablenda, I admire you and what you have achieved. I wish I was stronger than I sometimes am and right now I am having another big crisis, all triggered by high stress levels (and procrastination, an ever growing to-do list and general despair). I feel I am less than an hour...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    So, I'm updating as promised. I've lost 3+ kg s in the first week. Not bad although I had the impression it would be more. Perhaps a bit too ambitious. The first week went fine without much to worry about. I had prepared myself for the worst, so I suppose this helped. However, yesterday night...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Hi again, Tonight is my first weigh-in and I feel confident. I did not get the chance to update you before because I thought I'd better concentrate on doing the work, reviewing the foundation homework which helped me sooooo much the first time round and keep my head down low, keep my eye on...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Thanks ladies for the support, I admire your input in other threads and wish we were close enough to have chats and get-togethers every now and then; your knowing what it's all about first-hand is such a big thing, explaining to friends and family who have no idea (esp. the second time round)...

    Taking the plunge again (starting 27 September 2010)

    Hi all you good people :) Last year on LL, I lost 6 stone, exactly what I needed to lose, and felt on top of the world. This year, I thought I could go it alone without doing Route to Management which I knew was crucial, and 2/3rds of the weight crept back on. I have been contemplating...
