    Feeling so ill

    Don't know what to do with myself, I feel so sick, I have been feeling sick since Saturday and it is getting worse, also have a bit of an upset tummy, but not eating much so that isn't too bad. My stomach is bubbly like a cauldron. I also feel shaky and dizzy. I am having a battle in my head...

    Presenting the latest dish - Chilli Con Carne

    The first time I tried it I think I put in too much water and the texture was horrible, like mush, but I think it smells and tastes fine, had another today and thought it was not too bad. Not as nice as porridge and could probably do with being more 'chunky'.

    A bowel question (sorry if its TMI)

    I think you will find that as you are eating so little, it takes a while to 'gather' and may not always be the same amount each time, I got very similar last time I did LL. Don't think it is too much to worry about.

    Oh, that is terrible for you, I always find laxatives are a bit too over the top for me. I found out tonight (LLC gave me a leaflet) there is a new tub they are bringing out, looks just like the water flavours, to add fibre to your diet, it could be just what you need. It just dissolves in...

    Question about foodpacks in RTM weeks

    One thing I used to do in RTM if I couldn't face the foodpacks was to make muffins.

    A few things to check

    Thanks guys I am going to try a little bit and see, I would rather have a little of something than fall off the wagon totally. If I can have a cup of tea some soya milk and a little fruit with yog then I think that might just get me through. I though you were supposed to do induction then...

    A few things to check

    LOL do you just stick to the 20 carbs per day? do you add anything extra in or just the induction food list or is it straight induction? Not sure I could cope without fruit for 4 months.

    A few things to check

    I have just done the 2 weeks, do you think I should stay with it for longer? Do you just stick to 20 carbs per day? I have 59lbs to go and I want to get a good bit out of the way before the summer (end of July really, when I go away). What is a realistic weekly loss do you think?

    A few things to check

    I am now obsessed with checking the carb content on everththing LOL, and have made a few discoveries which I would like to try but just want to check if they are ok to have. I have completed induction and now on OWL. Total greek yoghurt full fat - 3.2c per 100g Unsweetened soya milk - 0.2c...

    saying hello

    Hi everyone New (to the atkins board) here today, I used to post on the LL forum last year. I lost 58lbs but never got to goal, so this time I am more determined and atkins is so much easier. I am really hoping to get to 9'7 this time round (so I will be here for a while then!).

    hug abd advice

    Hi cyber_girl It took me quite some time for my brain to catch up with my body, I lost 4 stone and it was a while before I realised I wasn't fat any more. Even buying size 10-12 clothes didn't help, it is in your mind and it does take time but you will get there. Please try your hardest to get...

    I start on Friday and Terrified doesn't begin to cover it

    The first week on RTM is hard psychologically, but once you get to that first weigh in and you haven't regained all your weight (like a lot of us feared), in fact you will still lose for quite a few weeks yet, it all gets a lot easier. Most of us were anxious at the start of RTM it is only...

    Check out the ticker!!!

    There was a series on a couple of months ago called 'diets time forgot' or something like that. Several of the 'guinea pigs' gained in height after they had lost weight, I guess it is also down to how you hold yourself. I want to measure myself now! Well done on the weight loss hun, you have...

    week 11 bread

    I had a few different things. Some nice fresh white 'proper' bread pitta homemade chapati (LL recipe) can't remember what else, was nice to have bread again. I used to eat it a lot, but now some days I have none, it is nice to have toast for breakfast sometimes or a slice with beans for lunch.

    Where is everyone.

    Hi It sometimes gets like that on here. I am doing fine, I am going on holiday in 3 weeks so have been cutting back a bit in anticipation, I don't want to put too much on but at least if I have lost a bit first I won't panic when I get home. So far I have lost 2 lbs and hoping for another 3-5...

    BECOMING A LLC?????

    It probably wouldn't be worth doing a separate course unless you wanted to as I am pretty sure it wouldn't count towards it. The LL course is 2 years, although you can start trading after 4 months. You do have to buy the franchise before you can start the training. The franchise costs £14,100, I...

    Health Question

    Not sure I can give a good answer here, mine have been shot for some time and haven't come back as I thought they would. I can go for 12 weeks then get one every 28 days for a couple of months then nothing again for months. The practise nurse thinks I have early pre-menopause as it runs in the...

    How much have you lost during RtM?

    I always had a salad for lunch instead of having veg snacks, which was fine with my LLC.

    Curious about RTM...?

    These are the fruit and protein ones Protein Includes meat, fish, eggs, beans, pulses and other non-dairy sources of protein. Trim the fat from meat and poultry and look out for lean meats such as extra-lean beef mince and skinless chicken. Follow the advice of your GP or health-care...

    Curious about RTM...?

    Hi TG If you log in to the management area there is a servings guide which is really good. Fruit you should have no more than 3 servings per day (a serving is 1 apple or 2 plums or a pear, the guide lists a lot more). Yoghurt, 1 small pot per servings and not more than about 300g per day. Fruit...
