It was hard work but now iv joined educo gym in Armagh the fat is still coming off and I'm putting on muscle mass I'm loving it and it's cheaper than LLT which I done I really lost alot of strength when I done it but I'm getting it back now and probably have never been healthier.

I had two bars every day sometimes even three and it never slowed mine down one bit I just found them so much easier when I was in the tractor all day

Iv lost a total of 15 stone

I only started the gym after I finished LL I just used my own tread mill during the time I was on total. I'm using the gym to tone up not to lose anymore

When I started it was very slow and just kept building it up every fortnight. But I bought my own treadmill as I wasn't confident enough to go to a gym. Now I'm doing the educo gym program and loving it I'm probably fitter now than iv ever been in my life. Plus my heart was 97 resting it's now...

I found that when I done ll I never cheated once bought a treadmill after the 1st month and iv went from hardly being able to walk 100 metres to now running 3 mile in 36 minutes. I'm going to the gym 5 days a week. I really think the exercise helps plus I was drinking 4/5 litres of water every...

I had 2 bars every day whilst I done LL and it never effected me I found them so handy with my work and my LL councillor said it was fine

This time last year I was 30 stone and had no intention in losing any weight but went to my mates ti see the wedding video I was horrified how big I was just never thought I was that size so started LL in January and if u look down my pics are on the forum I lost 15 stone so do it don't cheat...

When I done LL. I never cheated once only thing I done different was I had 2 bars every day after the 1st month but it's a great way to lose weight. I do think you need to exercise whilst doing it as that will help as well.

Yea iv alot of excess skin and I went to the doctor iv to maintain for 2 years and then they will get it removed. As for the gym I'm doing the educo gym which is all weights plus I'm up to 3 mile running 3 times a week doing it in 36 min so every week I'm getting fitter. It's alot better than...

Finished my RTM and have joined educo gym still losing some weight and gaining muscle and toning up iv lost a total of 15 stone on LL so if I can do it anyone can. Was at the doctors and he has said he will refer me to plastics so don't know how long il have to wait for that. But anyway thanks...

I asked my llc about joining but she said it's only same sex groups so I couldn't join so never asked again

Cheers for that I thought I was doing a bad thing eating but as u say it's better than eating a bag of crisps or a couple of bars of chocolate

Iv only 7 weeks to go now n I'm only taking the bars so it's not to bad plus I like them but as u say iv probably wasted alot of money all year I usually only spend 5 min at LL every week get weighed get packs n go home

Iv been on from 20/01/2011 and iv never been to one counselling session as I was the only male in my area. I'm now on RTM going on to week 5. Most of my counsellings been done through this site and my own will power

I'm currently obsessed with eating apples does anyone know if this is good or bad I'm going through 6/7 every day n I never ate them before I'm on week 4 going into week 5 of RTM

I take two bars every day as it's easier fir me iv done it for roughly 5 months and now I'm on RTM I'm still taking 2 every day iv never had any of the side effects that they warn u about but as the bars are dearer to make maybe that's the reason they don't want ppl taking two it's only a thought

I'm 2 bloodhounds plus a little bit more

First week of RTM nearly over and it's going great it's so good to be finally eating something and the weights still falling off iv lost 2kgs since I started the RTM

I just put around 400ml of water in a measuring jug throw the whole ministrone pack in and us a hand whisk for a min or two and it usually tastes ok

Just ate some and was worried that it might knock me out any help please

Got sorted just ate a slice of ham it wax so good I think I might start RTM very soon as I'm really getting bored with the packs iv been on now for 7 months so maybe it's time to start RTM

I'm away for the day and iv lost my last bar that I was ment to have tonight I won't be home till the morning wat could I take to have something to fill me up could I eat a slice or two of ham would this knock me out of ketosis

Iv been taking an extra 1/2 bar every day now for about 4 weeks as I was feeling hungry my councillor let's me take an extra 7 bars every two weeks and it's £18 iv never had any side affects and the weight Is coming off the same

Just on the nutfudge bar sometimes I get it and it's really soft and chewy then it is alot harder and tougher to chew does any one else find this

I would love a choc mint or choc orange bar also maybe some noodles in the chicken soup would be great.

Just wondered if anyone from n.i. Was on here

Do you not have to use 10g per pack 1 a day is 70g so the pack is 70g so thats a week but maybe in wrong

I was just curious as if I get the mousse mix and the water flavouring it's £88 and that's alot ever week

Journey is going great I reckon iv about 10 weeks till I start my RTM that way il have it finished in time to get my Xmas dinner I really thought it would have took far longer to lose my weight iv been on LL now for 6 months on the 20th July and iv lost 12.5st the help in this forum helps alot...

Does no one have any advice on this is the mousse mix just ordinary gelatine or is if a special ons specifically for LL

My doctor has been nothing but supportive with me doing LL in fact at my last monthly check up he asked me about my excess skin as I have started getting alot under my arms and legs. He also said when I get down to 15 stone he would refer me to have the operations through the nhs

Can we use ordinary gelatine out of a supermarket or does it have be the lighterlife one.

Iv been looking up my calendar and Iv decided to start RTM on the 2/10/11. Does anyone have any thoughts about having a set date to start RTM or are you safer waiting till you get down to a specific weight iv lost 12 stone so far and I recon i should loose another 2/3 before my date. Reason y...

Iv just got it in my head I need and want to lose the weight iv been 100% true to LLT only thing iv done is I'm taking around 11 bars a week as I find them easier with my work plus I bought a treadmill.

Just had to write this had my weigh in and iv lost 10stone from the 20/01/11 best thing iv ever done only 5 more to go and then it's RTM

Kimmy hi I'm Andrew iv around 15 to loose so I started lighterlife total on the 20/01/11 had my weighin last night and I had 10st off so I would recommend it it's dear at the time but works so well that's a bit of advice n good luck

Any time I do it I get a thick milkshake n ut never sets why is that

All I know is I'm not in a good head space n feel like quitting

I had my bp checked last Monday and doctor said it was fine plus I always drink the 4litres of water a day I took alot of extra bars this week as I had a wedding and was away with work so I had 4 extra bars so maybe this was to blame

I never done the milk week as I'm not good with milk I like it too much maybe that's y I'm not good at the min

I'd love to lose 15 stone so iv 12 to go

Thanks for all your kind words and helpfull posts

I usually go in get my packs n straight back out. Iv not even seen a counsellor only on first night as she is never there on a Monday when I go. Iv got most of my help through this. Do I have to go to doctors every month or wat happens

I weigh every day at the min so I need to throw my scales out of the house or break them but I think I need the reasurance that it's working hopefully there will be a few guys start so I can get to the sessions as everyone here really looks forward to them

Iv been on this 3 weeks now but iv never been to the counselling as there is no men in my area doing it should it still be costing me £66 per week. Also would 3stone off in this time frame be right iv only just used shakes and a bar everyday and drinking at least the 4 litres of water every day
