I've just started IF on Monday (6days ago) and I have lost 4lbs. No exercise just under 2,000 cals on up day and 500 on down days. I have tried vlcd, ww, SW etc and found it restrictive albeit lost weight on vlcd but always put it back on. Hoping this will be a more life style change and give me...

I drink the flavoured sparkling water from Asda and Tesco. Pear and elderflower is delicious from Tesco - they are flavoured with sucralose nil carbs. Anything that's diet and does not have sugar /v low or nil carbs won't affect your weight loss - best to stick to still or sparkling water...

Chlo - where r u? Hope u are well. I'm struggling here ....

I know exactly what you mean. You have done really well. I have been stuck in same weight for about 2 weeks as I have not been sticking to the programme. I have lost inspiration but I have to try and find it again as I need to lose 14lbs in 4 weeks before I go in holiday - if I don't I will feel...

Hi JLK, lovely to hear you lost 11lbs excellent job! I was told I could only have 2 bars max per day by my counsellor so I wouldn't eat more than that - it has 25 calories more in each bar than the packs so it will add up if eat to many. I had 2 bars from beginning per day and lost 11lbs my...

Hi hope all is well. I have been sticking with it, starting new group on Monday-35lbs loss to date from 225lbs to now 190lbs which I'm really pleased with. Been logging my calories on fitness pal and doing cardio when I can. Got one more stone to lose before I go on holiday so not giving...

My husband is doing exante diet and has lost about 30lbs. 3 packs a day but food packs, bars shakes & soups and a lot cheaper than LL. Might do that for a bit not sure... The money thing is a killer I hear that! I need food packs not just liquid... I'm spoilt now. Gotta keep focused.

I'm thinking of leaving my group as no one left in it. Was only 3 of is initially another was meant to start but never did. I was newest in group. Now one leaving to go into maintenance and the other never turns up. So basically it just me. Plus counsellor not really that great. Feeling like I'm...

Hope you had a better week than I have. Kinda strayed once or twice but was kind of planned as too many family events. Didn't go crazy but didn't stick to LL completely. Now week over getting back on track strictly before I damage all hard work done so far. I got a few extra packs so may delay...

Well done on your loss. I know what you mean about the nibbling - you won't believe it - today I ate a chocolate cupcake - I know.... Not good.... National cake day hubby brings home these cupcakes it was starring at me and I gave in! Oh well. Tomorrow is anther day - only had one though...

Lost 3lbs this week hope this keeps up.... Hope all well!

Everyone doing well. Keep it up!! I've lost 21lbs so far in 5 weeks hoping to get to 28lbs by end next week. Not easy but hey we can do this. I need to stop picking on little bits of foods that I shouldn't be as I'm only cheating myself. Weekends are always hardest for me. Keeping focused and...

I know how you feel but remember some weeks may be slow then up again. I always try to wear light clothes when get weighed as I think it makes a difference. Weekends r really hard for me. Been wanting to pick at things which isn't good- small bits of cheese, slice of chicken... All these...

Yea I definitley agree with you there. I use ducolax now and again which really helps. Just make sure I ain't got work the next morning. Lol. The packs often cause me to pass not so great smelling wind at times(sorry), however the ducolax clears that up too. Good luck for your next weigh in ...

4lbs today. That's 1st 10lbs in total. I pray I can keep this up. Staying focused. I can do this!

Hi Chlo, I'm so happy to know your doing fab. Really proud of you. I've realised some weeks just slow right down so just got to know that it won't be every week and that's just how the human body works - especially women! It can de-motivate at times but not this week- hey 5lbs !! You ain't...

Week 4 lost another 4lbs (whoop whoop)

Everyone seems to be doing so well. Hi Maria, hope you get on well with LL. I'm on it too and it really is a good programme. New food packs really help. Ive been on it for 1 month now and lost 16 pounds. First week the hardest. Just make sure you keep up with the water! Let me know how u get on!

Hi Chlo, don't beat yourself up about slipping up you still lost 1 pound and yes it's better than a gain. Make sure your drinking at least 2 litres water per day- not including coffee or shakes etc as it really helps. The more water the better. Even sparkling water is nice not sure if...

Had my weigh in yesterday evening lost another 3lbs since last group weigh in. Had a few mishaps this week which was not good. One in particular was having a box of popcorn chicken. Not good! However I got on the treadmill for 40 mins total (20x2 yesterday) to help burn it off. Still happy I'm...

Hi Tess wow can't wait till I've lost 5 stone!! Chlo you lost 8lbs in 10 days that's excellent!! The last tome i did lighterlife i lost 10 pounds in a month so you are doing fab! I lost only 2lbs when I got weighed in on Tuesday so it did slow down. But hey, every pound is closer to our goal. I...

Hi guys not sure if I'm in the correct section but I would love to drop 4 stone by xmas. I started 2 weeks ago tomorrow and I've lost about 1 stone so far. I'm doing lighterlife. I want to pick up a exercise also maybe zumba or strength training (kettle bells or something). I have a little...

I have just had one counselling session which was good albeit my group is two other ladies and myself. I am the new person others been on diet for about 8 weeks. I get weighed in on Tuesday evening. Fingers crossed I still drop a few pounds. I always add pepper sauce and or black peppers to my...

Hi Chlo, glad to hear your losing. 4lbs in 3 days is a heck of a lot let alone 6! Well done! Every pound is closer to that goal. It is nice to have meal packs I think it makes it alot easier - for me anyways. Thinking of liquid morning noon and night was depressing at times so now it's a lot...

Would be lovely to know how everyone is getting on? I started 10 days ago now can't wait till I fit in those size 12 jeans!

Hi Chlo and Theresab , hope all is going well. It'sy second week. Last week I lost 11lbs!! I was amazed as I've never done that before. It seems to be getting easier as times goes on which is great. I think my weightloss will now slow down so I need to be patient. Regarding flavours of good...

Hi Theresab, I didn't have to do a medical/go to dr this time- I was allowed to self certify which was good as its a headache having to get appointments and time to go. Sure you will do well. Today was not so bad for me (day 3) as long as I keep busy I feel fine. I seem to drink more black...

Hi , I'm just starting lighterlife second time round. Last time was in 2007, boy has the programme changed. Never had food packs like we do today. That is great to see. Yesterday I felt awful (day 2)- headache and tired. I notice I have been sweating more than normal on day 1 & 2. This morning...

Want to succeed Thats the spirit !! I'm starting today - going to try and lose a few stone. Had baby a year ago and I've got too much weight carrying around. Heavier than I was before I got pregnant and it ain't shifting. I think the mini pill didn't help. Off that too now. Hope we can egg each...
