Thanks for all your lovely messages.. X

Well here I am again. Lost 6 stone 2 years ago with LL and using the support from this fantastic forum. Have fallen back into bad habits and not surprisingly have put it all back on. Going to try new WW system I think. Just worried weight loss will be much slower than under LL. Look forward to...

hello there.. its been AGES.. well certainly a few weeks since I was last online. Work has been keeping me away from my pc. Lost 5 stone now (yipee!).. can't believe how much my life has changed even now.. although i still want to lose another stone or 2! Love to you all xx

Brilliant post dragonfish.. you will do it. The people on this forum are hugely supportive so hang in there and keep popping in to say hello and let us know how you are doing x

wow Blonde.. you look awesome. Well done you for sticking at it and being a complete inspiration. I am not brave enough to post my pics .. hehe although I just hit the 4 stone mark! x

Sappho... What book are you reading? it sounds interesting. love your poem.. do you write alot? Interesting about it being passed on through families, i am struggling (but slowly winning) to overcome a lifetime of dodgy food messages passed on by my mum (particularly), and can completely see...

I am i am.. my other half took a picture of me on the camera this morning.. normally that would have been in a deep depression when seeing the results.. but instead this slimmer, happier person was smiling back at me! I hardly recognised myself.. The person below is going to win the lottery...

woo hoo.. toffee cappucino and omg Irish cream flavour.... Kellie I love you for posting this.. You have just made my week! x

lol Blonde.. you really are lovely! and funny!

Interesting, we are on week 5 and still all 12 of the starters are still there going strong. Its a very good & committed group. Not sure about how good the LLC is but time will tell I guess! x

Just have to say... after someone raving on about strawberry muffins i rushed off to make one in my microwave the other day.. I mixed it as said, gave it the required time as said...Short answer was after a rather promising start, it ended up like an extra from the film Alien, smelling...

omg.. giggling away here at this thread. Really cheered me up! Dave, do you rent yourself out by the hour??? to cheer people up ofc.. hehe

awe thanks :)) I have completely stuck to the programme.. so weight is still coming off.. another 3 lbs last night at weigh in. PS Ladylite.. i love your rewards at the bottom of your profile !! what a great idea!!

Just been catching up and reading all your posts... haven't been on much this past week. Got a cold now and struggling to stick to the packets and bars.. but still hanging in there! Have hit a HUGE realisation that in the past i have comfort ate for britain when I haven't felt well. Like since...

wow.. that is amazing.. well done you!!

*hugs* to you Claire...You have amazingly well and you are always so open and honest on the forum. It is very scary isnt it.. but in a weird way very exciting also. Its amazing how different a life of a happy slim person is to that of an unhappy overweight person. I like you am probably now the...

well done!!!

Blonde... *huge hugs*. You have been through so much. Thank you for being so open and honest on your threads.. You are on the right track.. enjoy the journey to discovering a whole new you in 2008..xx

welcome to the club.... lovely to see you.. good luck at the first session! xx

omg mine is Snickle FrickenTush.. my other half's is Tootsie Dipinfrack !

Amazing... here is what i think... :talk017::whoopass::D:grouphugg: well done you! xxx

hahahahaha.. so funny because i remember thinking same myself! :massmoon::massmoon:

ooo Claire Claire Claire...... You are doing so well.. see the big picture.. go treat yourself (with non foody stuff).. dig deep and get knocking back that water..! I want to see that after picture of you on the gallery! Going it alone would be nuts.. has anything else happened in your life...

oo blonde.. cant wait to hear how the weigh in went... looking forward to hearing your GOOD news ! x

well done lastchance.. that is brilliant for a first stop in.. the big weight loss in the first week is so motivational! I agree with all the advice given above.. Enjoy it - its gets addictive Dont think of it as "losing" weight but "gaining" an amazing new figure and self belief & confidence...

lol is it me.. or does that emoticon (or whatever its called) look a bit rude?? :rotflmao: hehe

Yep.. no need to apologise for anything in this forum. We are all here to support each other through the great days (big losses) and the rubbish days (big cravings!). The first week is long and drawn out.. i think I went to my bed ridiculously early for the first 2-3 days, cos I was cold...

isn't it funny how your taste buds change after a few weeks though. I remember trying my first shake (raspberry ) and thought yuk.. then had chicken soup next and though (double yuk).. I was so disappointed when i saw how small and how yukky looking the bars are.. However...!! I now completely...

Are muffins hard to make?? I fancy a chocolate one tonight but am worried I will waste a pack if it goes belly up.

wow... you look fantastic now.. well done!

awe hun. I know what you mean. I am realising exactly the same... On the topic of doctors, I am feeling mighty lucky. Mine wasn't keen but did it after i pestered him. I went back to him after the first 4 weeks and he insisted on doing blood tests just to check I was ok. He's now all worried...

well omg.. was worried about the weight of the cast for my broken wrist.. but lost another 7 lbs last night at weigh in.. This diet is surreal. The compliments you get when people see you disappearing in front of them really encourage you on!!

yes - 12lbs can be done. I lost that on week one of LL also. Hang in there.. the difference it makes after just a few short weeks is amazing!!

jesus... I shouldn't have added up what I need to lose.. gonna be abstinent until about July..how depressing is that? i think i like the idea of smaller goals...!

hahahahaha... still laughing at what you typed. OMG that is so me too!

Can't flippin believe it. I slipped in the house and broke my wrist so now it is in a plaster cast for the next 5 weeks..:cry: Now all worried about how much the cast will weigh! On the plus side.. only have one hand to work with now.. so less temptation as I pass the biscuit tin! the lengths...

Summer, that is so kind of you to share your story. I started out 4-5 weeks ago and will be at this for a long time to come so it is very inspirational to hear someone who suceeded and managed to crack the normal eating thing. You sound like you approached this the correct way and have really...

Totally agree.. don't know about you but anytime i have asked my doctor in the past to help me lose weight he has looked at me like I had 2 heads.. cue feeling mortified and reversing slowly out his door apologising profusely! When i really really pushed I got a referral to see someone about...

awe *hugs*. Don't be so hard on yourself. Remember to break the dodgy eating habits we have built up over many years takes time, not just a few days or weeks. The fact that you were aware you did it, and why (e.g. being rebellious) means that you are a much better place to do something different...

omg.. well done you. bet you feel like you have got away with murder! me thinks you are too hard on yourself! Now, just remember how good standing on the scales felt.. and stick to the packs religiously now!! x

oo blonde.. you really are very excited about starting this arent you! I love your enthusiasm!!! I felt awful night 1.. went to bed at 6.30pm and slept right through had a headache to die for around day 3-4 - was unbelievably sore. being at home wouldn't have helped me I think, I think I would...

oo how annoying.. I can completely imagine how you feel. but 100% to you for staying abstinent over such a difficult foody time. I agree with the guys above.. you will have a good week next week. hang in there and drink TONS of water this week.. best of luck x

awe thanks Sun. may 2008 be the year that all your dreams come true :)

awesome.. huge thanks :) Have bought one :)

hmmn.. been trying to find a whisk mug on ebay.. what was it you bought? a separate little whisk that you can use with your own mug or something called a whisk mug??

I was about to say... forget about soups and shakes at work.. just go for the bars.. but wow a whisk mug..!! Hadn't even thought of that one myself.. am off to e bay!! My workplace is the same, no microwave, no kettle, nosy co-workers.. so I just take a bar to have at lunchtime. The other...

eek Claire. Poor you! I hope everything goes ok with the op and that you dont have to wait too long for it. I did read about the link with VLCDs and gallstones, but I guess like everything with all brilliant things there is a downside possibly.

I have been using an old hand blender called "Billy".. think it may be a braun and tbh I could not have eaten the soups and shakes without it. It has travelled everywhere with me so far!! that and that plastic measuring jug I use too!

hehe Blonde.. you are a complete nutter... I love you!! well not literally but you know what I mean.. your posts really make me smile and laugh.. keep em going! My class starts on Tues 8th Jan. Can't wait.. I met alot of the women a few weeks ago at the info night and they are all lovely...

wow.. I recognise that feeling. What is it about self esteem and how difficult is it to improve on it when it is on the ground..?? Those little bl**dy inner voices who say.. "you cant do this.." or "you dont deserve to be thin and look good" man I would like to give them a big slap for causing...

well done too Ladylite... big cheers for all us losers (hehe).... Has to be the only time in my whole life I LOVE being called a loser!!!!!

woo hoo... thats amazing! I did same over xmas and just got weighed tonight too.. 6lbs off.. How good does that feel???? AMAZING! Well done NetNet!!

Blonde... I wish we lived closer.. hehe. We could go for a drink of .. water.. and put the worlds to right! You sound just lovely and I would say that 95% of what has been going through your head, goes through mine too. I just don't express it as openly and as freely as you do. I ended up...

I would go on holiday and go with option 4. You could have a healthy breakfast and lunch (you know what its like in the warm weather anyways.. and then enjoy the evenings. Alchohol would be my downfall on holiday.. anyway, whatever you decide to do, I hope you do well with it and have a fabby...

woo hoo Blondelogic.. that is great news. See everything you wrote in your earlier post, I feel and worry about also, so you will not be alone. Food and comfort eating has been my "friend" and my shield against the outside world for so long that it is VERY scary indeed that this umbilical chord...

well done you.. when I fall off the bandwagon.. and I will at some point.. am going to remember your post and get right back onto it the next day...

well done netnet... I bet you feel really good today !!

Blonde.. your logic is correct!! I thought abstinence was tough yesterday, but it was worth it all when this morning i woke up and had one of those "feel definately lighter " mornings. I hopped on the scales to find I am about 3 lbs down since a few days ago.. amazing. and by next xmas... am...

For all of us on abstinence on this difficult food day!!... How are you getting on?? .. its 5pm here and so far I managed to bypass the mulled wine... (took a shower), miss the xmas dinner (took a bath!) and the mince pies (took a walk!!).. I think I may have cracked it! Just read an article...

what a good idea for a thread.. I am starting to treat myself with non food things but it is so foreign to me! I treated myself for staying on the KK programme for 4 weeks by going for a hot stone massage 2 days ago. It was amazing. This thread got me thinking what I might want to buy/do for the...

merry xmas blondelogic too .. and everyone else!! love your poem!! Hope santa is good to you all.. I know what he is bringing me this year... optimism for 2008, iron willpower to succeed, a subscription to LL and a huge dash of cheer at the thought of 2008 finally being the year that I...

This diet is really amazing... 4 weeks in and my clothes which were only a month ago really tight on me, are now so loose I am really going to have to go buy some stuff in the size or 2 down.. Have to say, it is going to be a long haul.. I get good days and bad days.. today was a bad day in...

that is an amazing post to read.. for us newbies at LL that is so inspiring.. keep up the good work!!

haha Dave... you're a naughty boy!! What is it btw about men and women with long hair..??

yee haaa.. I am dreaming of walking into any high street shop and choosing a size 10!...

wouldn't worry about it if it was a one off lapse.. i did that last week when I desperatey hungry.. and still lost 7lbs.. wouldn't make a habit of it.. but prob ok for the off occasion

Not sure blonde.. i was wondering same too! I am officially starting a class on 8/1 so we will share the journey together !! I started early by buying some packs form e bay cosI couldn't wait for the class.. but I can't wait now for the group sessions to begin... exciting isnt it!!

Its amazing.. I wouldn't go so far to say it is easy, but having the weight of food temptation and portion sizes taken away for a wee while is such a relief...

okies... week 2, 19lbs lost, can't quite believe it, never lost this much so quick... watch this space :D

I started 2 weeks ago and yeah I am finding the water sooo hard to drink. The last few days I only managed about 2 litres and was starting to panic what would happen if I didnt drink enough! Bottled water is great but trying to carry around great big bottles is a nightmare at work! I have...

That is brilliant you got over your hiccup. You have done so well, and it must be such a long hard slog.. but think of the amazing end results!! You sound a lovely guy.. I'm new to this board, but look forward to getting to know you better over the coming months :) I am here for the longhaul!!

wow.. your message is very inspiring to us who are just starting out on the LL journey. Well done at your achievement so far and good luck for 2008. Some how I think you will most definately make your goal by springtime.

That is amazing... well done you.. and in only 4 weeks omg!

I agree.. have saved a fortune so far... all the bars of choc on the way home or at the petrol station..all the extra goodies at the supermarket.... Think of all the extra cash you will have saved to buy lots of sexy new clothes lots of sizes smaller :))

well done for hanging in there.. its hard when you get the cravings isnt it. My house has never been so tidy for years!!

Interesting thread. I am 37 and started LL 2 weeks ago. Really need to lose the weight as I get terrible backache all the time. In fact everything hurts lol, if I wear high heels, i get sore ankles, if do too much moving around, I get sore feet... its never ending ! So am very happy to hear...

oo cool thanks very much.. ketosis sticks now ordered :) Yeah definately would not recommend going down the e bay route to buy food packs.. it cost a bomb and no guarantee of how fresh etc. I was desperate and will be glad when the class starts in Jan!!

Been on LL over a week now.. and had headache to end all headaches around day 3-6, dodgy tummy for a few days, very tired in the evening, very cold all the time, but now the energy boost has kicked in so that is amazing.. can think more clearly and have more energy and a spring in my step than I...

Well hello everyone! What a friendly supportive place this is :D After years and years of my weight yo-yoing and my eating addition pretty much ruling how I lead my life, I decided to join LL. Having completely decided to do it right there, right then only to be told the next foundation...
