    Changing my strategy! [warning, ranting content]

    Great strategy Pinkie, I do the same so it must be! :-)

    Hair Loss

    I took a multi-vitamin throughout - I checked what was important for hair, can't remember now, maybe calcium too, took that, and didn't lose any hair at all. Was only in abstinence for Foundation though.

    Back again - third time lucky?

    13lb in 2 weeks, wow, nice one. On a conventional diet, that'd take me 13 weeks if I was lucky!

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Hi groovy. I'm a secret weigher too - I do it every day. Everyone always tells you to just weigh once a week because of daily fluctuations, but I don't get that. What if your first weighin happens to be a low one, and next week a high one? You'd be really pissed off and think you'd lost nothing...

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Good luck to you too! I'm wondering about maybe being really strict with myself on weekdays and then letting rip a bit at the weekend. A way to be adult and still enjoy myself, maybe...

    Ketosis energy..........

    I got a blast of the hungry monster yesterday too, after being in ketosis for a few days. Seems to be better this morning though, wonder what does that. I have porridge every day & normally I'm fine, yesterday I had my first shake. (usually just bars & the chilli)

    Sob sob

    Love that mood board idea. I did a similar think on my computer - I'm on a mac and I used an app called Mori, and I collected photos of clothes I'd buy, links to celebs looking great in a way I wanted to copy, and so on. I didn't let myself even think of the price of the clothes, so it was the...

    **Blue_grapefruit** Week 10 WI

    Nice one. The second week really is much, much easier - you've that weight loss behind you and you're definitely in ketosis.

    And sorry for all these replies. I'll try to keep up more from now on, now I have those jobs!

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Weevikki, we sound so similar. Like you I really want to get off that treadmill. Why can I be so "good" in abstinence, and spent my time thinking that just a simple piece of meat and salad plus wine would be all I need, just at the weekend, and then when I'm eating it's a pub meal every other...

    Nicola, hi and all the best! I think havig that 10k is a great incentive, I might look one up myself.

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Secychick, great weight loss! The second week is always better, with that self esteem behind you & in ketosis. Groovy chick. Takes me ages to not feel hungry too. Probably related to that carb sensitivity I mentioned earlier - just takes longer to use up that glycogen in the liver...

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Hi sexy chick, so many third timers! And id love to help and encourage each other, I certainly need that and I'm really keen on this band of third times working out what's in our heads. My LLC reckons third time lucky by the way - that it takes this many repetitions to understand the way you...

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Reading through the solids in order so sorry there are so many responses from me. Well done on that loss Sandra, that's amazing. And I think picking yourself up after the weekend was the biggest sign of your success in future, you didn't just say f*** it, you carried on. Nice one.

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Thanks slendablenda for those kind words. And sorry I've been so long replying, but the reason I've been away is good news - I've got two lots of contract work so won't be homeless next month After all!

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Hey groovy chick, you and me both. It feels so crap to not be able to trust yourself, to almost be two people if you know what I mean - the one who managed it, and now the one who can't get back to that place at all. I'm wondering about CBT too, though it's probably too expensive for me right...

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Hi Sandra, Sounds like you're in a tough place too - I've loads of respect for people who stick to LL in those circumstances and by at I don't mean stay in abstinence, I mean keep on & pick ththemselves up even after a little slip. Like you, I'd really like to know why food is the answer to...

    Approx 14st and 5ft 1 - anyone started near this?

    I'm 5' 2" and started at 11st something, I think 6. I finished foundation on 8st 9lb and went on to lose 3lb more to get to my lowest ever weight (since I was a skinny 20 year old). Started at size 16/18 ended at size 8/10. Now I'm 9st 8lb and size 12 so trying to lose that gain and maybe a...

    **Blue_grapefruit** Week 10 WI

    Wishing you all the best in your journey. Like you, I'm really keen to find out why I use food the way I do. I'm returning for the third time - I didn't put a huge amount on each time, because I couldn't afford new clothes :-) - but I'm still concerned that I've never really understood how I...

    Back again - third time lucky?

    Hi all, Here I am on my third stint of abstinence since losing 3.5 stone in spring 2009. Finishing LL the first time I did really well for 6 months, then it was the odd carb here and there, ending up with a vat of ice cream in the evening again and too much wine, and a stone to lose. I lost...
