Hi!! I'm back... well sort off. I am finally back from my work trip in India (turned out to be 6 months long and not the 6 weeks that was originally planned for) and I also finally went on holiday to Africa. While in India, I feel off the wagon (READ was squashed under the wheels of the wagon as...

LOL hello... :) I am still here.... sorry for the lack of conversation. I am right now in India for work. I have been working LONG DAYS and just trying to make new friends. I am still doing the programme just had to lug all my food over. The not eating conventional food is coming across as a...

thank you all, I went home and tried to take a bubble bath and after soaking for about 15 mins, decided I needed a nap. I guess I was really tired because I ended up sleeping a full 8 hours!! I woke up really early and got some things off my to do list done which was awesome. Thank you again...

In fact this weird feeling of just not feeling a 100% started over the weekend but today... I am just down in the dumps...I didn't feel well this morning and had to force myself to work... and now at work, I am tried, and just really emotional... :( I am scared.. the last time I felt like...

I ate it just a half hour ago.. ;) will let you know tomorrow!

You know, I have a friend of mine who spend $400 on a pair of japanese denim jeans (yes he has too much money), who had to do the same soaking thing... hehe he was so pleased with the process because "It creates something truely unique as it fits your body so well." LOL

BEA, I think it really depends on your body shape. I am a pear, where all my weight is around my thighs so the bootcut looks great on me, as it balances out my thighs, I have a friend who is the same size as me but carries her weight around her torso, so bigger boobs and belly and slimmer...

After a very painful bout of constipation, I decided to jump onto the Psyllium Husk bandwagon. I just got my shipment in today and decided to try banana shake with some Husk in it. I added 2 dessert spoons full and I almost couldn't finish my shake... I am sooooo full. I think next time, I...

Katie I was looking and I could only find the waist in Inches... no cms in which case inches to cm, cm to inches calculator will convert cms to inches and inches to cms for you.., You have to love the internet!

M and S to the rescue... General: Womenswear: Size Charts: Marks & Spencer Gives you sizes in Cm... so check out a 14 and go forth and order Also, if you are usually a short length it is an inseam of 30, a regular length is an inseam of 32 and a longer length is a 34 (that i am assuming)...

I am reading Sons and Lovers by DH Lawrence... Making up for all those classics I didn't read when I was younger ;)

BL, I seriously think we have ESP or something. I read your earlier post about looking at this post to compare. I just find it funny that I think of something and you mentioned it the same day just a few hours earlier ;) I am doing great by the way.. went on my first date today in ages.. My...

Claire, Try making a chocolate muffin with 2 sweetners, a teaspoon of coffee and with half a nut crunch bar in it. If you microwave it until it is soft and a little gooey it tastes like a chocolate pudding or a brownie.. and really helps with the chocolate craving (I just had one). I make the...

Thanks all :) I really have been feeling a lot more confident and loving myself a lot more lately. :) HUGE change from the pain and self loathing of just a few months ago. :) x-Katie-x, I meant to say tube stops, not tube rides. I don't think I will see him again, BUT I next time someone...

:) You know, I look at the paper to see if anyone has posted about me too. HEHE I hope that someone would some day :)

:) I know what you mean about the apple Miss F., I was sitting across from this woman eating an apple during a meeting on thursday and an Apple never looked that good or that inviting before. :) I just posted about dating.. I can't help but wonder, if I was doing some other programme that...

Hello All, I know I have been a little MIA lately... primarily because I moved offices and internet connections.. so I have really be limiting my non work web activity ;) Here is what I have been upto: After being in the UK for almost 4 months, I finally gave in last week and signed up for...

Hey there BL, First of thanks for wondering about me. ;)We must have ESP or something for me to post so near you thinking about me... BUT GO YOU!!! that is fanatasic that you lost a stone and way to go and reward yourself!! Good job and I look forward to seeing more of your goodies and share in...

No because I dont have a TV, The person below is going to go on a run this weekend

I really hope they aren't going away. A person at my group got a couple of mouldy ones.. I haven't had that issue yet... For all those of you that I like the nut crunch or are just adventurous, try half a nut crunch and half a toffee sandwiched on top of each other and then just bit into it...

My week 8 weigh in was yesterday and I lost only 2lb but it brought my total to 30 lbs or 2stone 2lb. While I am not there yet, I was at this weight + or - 3lb when my fiance and I broke up a year an a half ago. I always assumed I would feel liberated when I lost all the weight I so quickly...

CONGRATS, LEESY!!!!! <BIG BEAR HUG> You are really inspiring!!

;) I hear you Alibongo, when I just started drinking 6 liters, I had to go to the loo 3 times in the middle of night a few times. Since I live in a one bedroom flat, my bedroom and loo are really far apart. I was contemplating sleeping on the pull out bed in the living room in order to shorten...

Common belief in Lighter life is that people who drink more water lose more weight. I have upped my water this past week to about 6 liters a day and not seen any improvement. I was talking to someone at my session who is also doing 6 liters now and has been for atleast 3 weeks. She hasn't seen...

They say that your tastes buds change, which must be true because when I first had the nut crunch bar, I thought i was eating sawdust and now it is one of my fav. bars because of all the things I can do with it. Also Banana muffin- is quite good, I ran out of the banana shake yesterday and I...

Again thank you all for your support and kind words. I spent the rest of the weekend sort of avoiding doing a thought record, and spent the entire weekend having huge urges to eat. Finally last night, I decided to face my demons head on and did a thought record. Brainstorming I realized that...

Thank you ladies for the advice, I posted that just post binge and before the crying fit began. I then IMed sister who woke my mom up and who talked me through the anger/rage, disappointment and sorrow.. and then I read all your lovely posts.. thank you so much for the support. Isis and...

I just ate 4 extra bars and one shake over my daily 4 packs. I am so uncomfortable right now but I still want to keep eating.. I was doing so well and I cannot seem to understand what is going one.. I just feel like I can't seem to plug to hole... OMG someone.. anyone help..., Sorry to post...

Just wondering. I am on week 7 right now and I am trying to do 30 mins of cardio twice a week and trying to get to yoga twice a week. (Not been successful this past week though :D:D)

Phew, Thank you ladies. I think I just really worked myself up into this scare.. Thank you sooo much!

So I was out to lunch with my project team and I ordered Oolong tea. It came cold in a can and the ingredients were Water, Tea and Ascorbic Acid. I wanted to send it back because I didnt know if Ascorbic acid affects weight loss.. but <insert long story> ended up having a couple of sips.. Does...

I fully believe in the powers of the private blog. going back and re reading some of the ramblings esp as this process continues helps you put some thoughts in perspective. I would definitely try it. (I currently just use a word doc on the computer)

You go GIRL!

YEY!! I moved here for my job and am supposed to be here for a year. So far the last 4 months have flown by. I might try and stay till this Dec... to early to say.. :)

I am sure I am probably not the first one to ask this question... (I tried to look for other posts related to this topic) How do you react to TOTM on this diet? I am on the pill, I just stopped taking the pill on Sunday, but I have had no energy since Sunday and definitely yesterday and today...

:) I just moved here from San Francisco... but more of an east coast girl really... Well WASSUP? where did you used to live and what made you move here...? And.. don't you wish we had the lighter life option in the states...

Not sure if this might help: I am not on route to management but I when I was on WW I used to make desert with Sugar free jelly and fat free yogurt. Usually I would add fat free yogurt in place of the cold water in the SF jelly recipe (which is about 8oz or 240 ml), SO I am assuming you would...

Are you really from California...?

I would totally try both a 20 and an 18 when you go shopping, if the 18 is snug but it fits (and only you will really be able to tell) I would go to an 18. So today: 3 Liters down, finished 2 packs and a bar... saving my last pack for when I get home and close to a microwave... I must say, I...

Thank you for the kind words. I just moved here from the states and had to get rid of a lot of my Skinny clothes before I made it across the pond. Shame really cause I would have loved to see how close I would have come to fitting into these trousers I had made for me when I was in high school...

I am wearing the pencil shirt I stopped wearing because in Oct someone asked me if I was pregnant while I was wearing the skirt. I realized that I was squeezing myself into the skirt and my belly looked huge in it. BUT today! Today, it is a little loose around the belly and it looks fab!!! yey me!

This weekend was rough but today is going well. One liter down, 3 more to go. So far: 1 chocolate pack with coffee for breakfast and some bar. I have a mini challenge with myself. I am not allowed to take another bite of the bar until I finish another liter of water... :-D

CONGRATS NET NET! You go girl!

Chunky Chicken, the cheese cake recipe sounds wonderful. I will have it give it a try. Perhaps over the weekend... will keep you posted ;)

(I have to apologize this is going to be a longish rant) I have this really weird conundrum that might not even happen but being me I have to analyze it to understand what I want to do, in case someone asked me. I really dislike the project I am on right now. SO much so that I get to work...

I didn't like it the last time i tried it either. ;) Figured I would try it again, just to be sure I didn't like it

I was hit by the shortage of the new bars and took it has a sign to try some recipes with the old bars.. I did the biscuits today and they are FAB!!! How do you stop at one!! :-p So tomorrow I am going to try nuking the Nut Crunch bar and adding tobasco to it.. Any suggestions or other ideas...

Hello All, I am new to Minimins (although I have been reading the site off and on since I joined LL on Dec 4th) and this is my first post. So to you all. just wanted to say HOLA! So I had a dilemma today. I have not been weighted since Dec 18th and Tuesday is my first weigh-in 3 weeks. I went...
