Hi Kate, Yeah your're probably right just need to be sensible and eat about 1500-2000 cal per ady and see what happens. I guess I was looking to Cambridge for the quick fix I got last time with LL but its just not that easy to encorporate with the training schedule I have. I'm not on any packs...

Hi Thanks for that, Will ask her on Tues and see if the booklet is forthcoming, was in a bit of a rush last week with new clients etc so see what she says. Cheers x

Hi Kate, Thanks for your input glad to find another instructor! I'm doing 4 Body Step which are pretty knackering on the cardio side (am soaked when I come out!) and 4 Body Pump with a couple of general aerobics thrown in for good measures. BMI wise I'm about 27 ish?? height is 5.4" and weigh...

Thanks for sorting me out on that one, Sounds like what i'm doing is about right then, just go low GI on the carbs and be sensible (easier said than done tho sometimes). It would work out ok for me to have shake mid afternoon ready for eve class and then have a small meal when I get in to top...

Yee haaa!! The girl done good and youve done the hardest bit, congratulations hun!!! xx

I did 3 meals today and a shake and feel ok but no training so will repeat tomorrow. Whats the composition of the meals on 1200? I didnt get any paperwork. I am just eating a bit of wholemeal carb and some protein and veggies (infact less carb than my 2 yr old toddler, boo hoo!). Just to clarify...

Oh Hun, Sorry for the misunderstanding, intended to SS but after fiasco on Mon that went out the window so am trying to work some packs with REAL food whenever possible which is difficult as sometimes the classes are mornings and then another session on a night. Wow did I go perculiar on no...

Hi all, I'm a fitness instructor looking to lose a stone on CD having previously lost 9.5 stones with LL. Yes thats right I gave up my "day" job so that I could re train and help myself maintain my weight and I do soo love it have to say. Anyhow started to drop carbs 3 days before start of CD...

Hey! I'm starting tomorrow aswell. Have been cutting down on the carbs and am sooo cold. Do you think its wrong to wear gloves in the house? See you tomorrow. Fingers crossed! xx

Hi Laura and Eileen, I'm starting tomorrow aswell so keep signing in to the site and we can keep each other distracted. Good luck and start glugging the water! xx

Hi, Dont panic! I did LL and drank 4L plus shakes and was driving round in a car all day with not very many loo breaks! Your body will adjust, promise! Just remember if do any regular diet like WW etc you do wee loads with that aswell; its a good sign that your body is working efficiently...

Hi, I share your frustration as I had a similar experience with my LLC, her heart just wasnt in it and I felt really let down when I needed her most during the maintenence. For this reason I would not recommned it as your weight loss road needs a LOT of support. Did you consider Cambridge...

Hi Claire, I lost 9 and a half stones from Jan 14th 03 - Sept 03 and have kept all but a stone off, but have had a baby since. I didnt lapse once out of fear more than anything. I lost 12lbs in first week and 12 lbs during fortnight to Florida. My advice, just remember the time will pass...

Boy do I need some of those husks; say no more! How much do you take to get things moving? Do you take them constantly or just occasionally? Thanx

My experience was loss round the back but cup the same; 9.5 stones lost. Could just do with them being pulled up a bit post-baby thats all!

Yeah I hear you; would be quick I suppose. Just getting cold feet (pardon the pun) you know? How cold am I going to be, forgot about that....will maybe try to to schedule lots of distraction activities especially on evenings which were my worst times. Thanks for the advice will let you know from...

How are you guys doing on the 790 - 1200 plan for weight loss vs SS? I'm off to see my CD counsellor Tues to restart and am in coundown panic mode about the withdrawal having SS'ed for 11months with LL. Was a wreck for a week first time around, then felt ok to goal. Have only about 20lb to get...

Yes, I SS'd down to BMI 24 which was way too skinny for me and made me look old in the face, you know? I'm done by 10 and a half stone to eleven as I can carry the extra weight because of the weight training I do. By the looks of it you have about the same amount of weight to lose as me, so keep...

Cheers hun, I am a cardio fanatic so will either have to have extra pack I guess or calm down (unlikely)! Yeah I remember that Ketosis feeling, clear head and all and was running when I did it before so will play it by ear. Thanks for letting me in on your experience. Whats all this coming off...

Try Evans, when I lost my weight my calves and ankles were still on the chunky side but I got a pair to fit no problem from there. Depends what body shape you are, I'm the great british pear with chunky legs no matter what I weigh but theres worse traits to have eh?

Hey, Thanks for such a fast response, am so new to Minimins I just lost my post! Maybe I should swat up on how to use the site as a distraction for that first week on SS?! Yeah, I'm thinking maybe another food pack to combat those free radicals I'm gonna be producing. Thanks for the vote of...
