I too have PCOS - really struggle to lose weight - Lighterlife total abstinence seems to be the only thing that works. Re the PCOS a low carb diet is supposed to help. Also - have recently been reading that vitamin D3 supplements can help. Ordered some Solgar ones from Amazon - wish me luck!

Thank you for taking time to reply. Xxx

Whilst doing sole source I am struggling with hunger. Is it ok to nibble on a bit of protein - avocado, meat or nuts? Would just be interested in others' thoughts.

Thank you to both of you for taking the time to post.

And have you managed to maintain? I am doing Cambridge SS. Thinking ahead I am considering doing Slimming world once I get to goal weight. If you have done this was it manageable? TIA x

Minerva - did you get to target - have a month off and then do RTM? How was it going on to RTM after having reintroduced food not in a controlled way?

Thank you Hannah - Will have a look. xx

Thanks starlight - will have a look now. xx

I posted this on the Lighterlife forum but thought I would post here as well - hope that's ok. Hi - I am just coming up to having done 16 weeks on LLT but am having real problems remaining abstinent and therefore weight loss has slowed down. Have lost about 3 stone and would ideally like to...

Hi - I am just coming up to having done 16 weeks on LLT but am having real problems remaining abstinent and therefore weight loss has slowed down. Have lost about 3 stone and would ideally like to lose another two stone. Was thinking of doing Dukan or 17 day diet as I feel I want to be able to...

hi Twinny - like you I am only 5 foot tall. At the moment I still have a high BMI and I would only just be within normal range if I lost another stone. I'm not sure I am going to be able to do that as I am now really starting to struggle - am in week 15 and am finding it very difficult to be...

Just seen this - wishing you a speedy and painless recovery xxx

Hi Yummy Just seen this and I know it's an old thread but I just wanted to say that what you have achieved is amazing and to add my support. Take care.

still struggling to remain abstinent. Only lost 0.6 lb over 2 weeks. Need to get may arse in gear or just give up

Thanks for your reply Minerva - I do understand responsibility is down to me but the thought of doing the class in the same format is pretty depressing - I didn't learn anything and certainly didn't feel that I could ask the LLc aty individual questions - Will have to think lond and hard about...

Could I please ask what you RTM class is like. I am a returner - last time I did RTM for about 6 weeks but gave up because I didn't like how the class was run. It was very big and was more like a drop in rather than a class. I really like the intimacy of the closed group and we get to know...

Bad day today - was throwing stuff out of the fridge and just decided to have a taste of everything - then ate 2 chocolate biscuits and a packet of crisps. Have been starving today - could it be because it is milk week. I SO need to stick to this - I know it works if I do it properly. It is...

Hi - I'm new but I'm thrilled for you - losing 7 stone - that's fantastic - and even more fantastic - keeping it off. Keep up the good work - you are an inspiration

Sorry Corey Mate!!!!:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Thank you for your replies ladies. Just writing it down makes me feel better. Unfortunately LLC is not hugely approachable. Not sure if it's rebellious child or just that thing about looking ok now so I shouldn't have to be strict. I know it's better to be abstinent - at week 12 last time...

Hi - I am a returner and am on week 12 - have lost about 2 and a half stone. But over the last few weeks I haven't been able to be abstinent - I keep eating something! Why am I sabotaging myself? Have I had enough? Do I need to o on RTM? I don't really want to as I would like to lose...

Lady T Thank you for your kind reply. I have got The Secret on audio CD and will listen to it in the car. Thank you for your thoughts re the anger - so pleased that you are happier and sanding up for yourself. Good luck with your journey. Dalek x

Minerva - thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I am feeling very down at the moment - not just LL - some other issues as well. Yesterday was a bit of a black anniversary for me. Was reading through a LL diary and realised that I hold anger in and try to eat it down - sound familiar...

By tomorrow I will have been doing it for 10 weeks. I think I will have lost about 30lbs in total - average of 3 lbs a week - it seems slow! I think the problem is that the first time I didn't know what to expect and was just amazed that the weight was coming off. This time it feels so slow -...

Thank you for your reply. Just wanted reassurance that it wasn't just me. By the way well done on your loss so far. xx

Hello there - I am new here. I am a Lighterlife returner and was doing ok but for the last two weeks I have only lost 3lbs in total! Has anybody else found this? It really isn't any good for my motivation - feel like I just want to eat! On the positive side I have lost 22lbs in 7 weeks - just...
