So let us begin. First off, I have been back to LLT for 2 weeks now and have taken off 12 1/2 lbs. Quite pleased with that but am finding this time around very hard. I was Ms. SUPER ***** during my first week and a half on abstinence, tired all the time and my mind was wanting to take...

Greetings!! OMGosh...has it been that long since I was last here? Well that is what I get for forgetting passwords, and those who inspired me to keep going on my journey. I am back and sadly thanks to the belief that I know all and failed in the RTM :( I gained back almost all I had lost...

Happy Sunday you Lovely Ladies, Yes, i am in a WAY much better place these days. A few glitches at work but nothing that I can't handle. I opted for yet one last week on LLT and glad I did. Weigh in came and I am down ........6lbs!! I stepped off the scales and then got back on to be...

yes Lovely Lady T...I AM in a much better place these last few weeks. I have let so many things "go" it is now like a new me has emerged and I am actually Loving myself once again. Still unsure if I ever did love myself at one time....umm..isn't that illegal in some countries? LOL Keeping as...

HELLO LADIES!!! Long time no post for me :( I have been busy and getting out most nights for walks AND.................jogs!! Still not up to any marathons just yet but I am improving :) Since I jog after work, I get home from walk/jog around 930 at night and then it is in the tub for me...

Good Evening Ladies! Yes, I am still here but busy as all heck. Actually enjoying the keeping busy part as this is really helping to stay on track. I am still on LLT and the last couple of days have been good! Proud of myself - cut back, again, on the exercises and will resume them when I...

Good Morning Ladies! Up at, how you all say...silly o'clock this morning? Well, I am up and had some things to get done then sit and reflect. I know ...the rosebush...how SAD is that? I mean..if they really wanted one all they had to do was ASK, and I would have personally bought one for...

Good Evening Ladies, What a week!! I have been all over the place between mentally and physically. The rosebush? Well, lets say has gone AWOL. Seems somebody must have liked it and adopted it. Not impressed at ALL!! Why do people take things that do not belong to them? Just plain RUDE...

Agree with you all. This is an amazing forum and i too can't keep up with all the posts. I am not rude or insensative.....just old:( We are ALL amazing on here. Spangly? Well said above. You hit the nail on the head. xx

Good luck with WI tonight! Rootin for ya. I would shake my pom poms but ...too tired. With ya in spirit tonight! xxx

YEAH...what everyone said above about beating yourself up and doing double time to compensate. Nadda good. Welcome back! xxx

Well done on the 3lb loss and finding the ketosis fairy (love that btw). many HUGE thanks for the posts in my diary, it meant a lot to me. xxx

Good luck to you!! Thanks again for the lovely post in my diary xxx

hey Mags, Just puttin my words on here to let you know I am thinking of you. Very brave what you put down - it takes courage to do that. I applaud you seeking help now because more times than enough once we start talking about these things - a flood of emotions come out from WAY back and we...

8lbs to go? OMgosh...ANOTHER reason!!!! argh! Hope you are well our lovely xx

Good evening Ladies! No walk tonight and defo no work out with involving anything stable. Either I have allergies OR getting/got a cold - so just a tad under the weather. LOL - bus was on schedule today so no walking to work. PHEW!! I really do not function well without my morning coffee...

Enjoy your holiday! Sure you have no room for me? We want to hear ALL about it when you get back. BTW, did I read that right? You had a headache and took a ducolax? or did I just read that too fast :( Never thought of taking that for a headache before...lol Just noticed your stats...you...

Hello our Lovely Lady! Sorry been in my own world the last bit but am here now and just read your last few days. Another WOW from me on what happened. No words of wisdom or rather no NEW words of wisdom to offer. My son put me thru heck and back when he was in his 20's. I was exactly like...

Okay, will get use to those hugs - eventually. ;) You are an amazing person - never forget that. Your post above really got me thinking... ;)

This is an unbelievable week! Work is chaotic at the moment, stuff happening back home is slowly getting sorted as I finally got some help getting that done. I went for another long walk tonight along the shores and watched some ships come in - beautiful! Last night I did my exercises with...

Big thank you to ALL! Wow, once again...I felt so alone before....but not now. May sound odd, but my post was a release....HUGE release. Your support gives me warmth. Still early days but it is now out there...on the net and no hiding it anymore. Happy ending to that time of my life? Yes, A...

Thanks SB. Women are truly the stronger of the sexes. I am inwardly proud of what I did and had to do but yet ashamed that I actually allowed this to happen in the first place. Once again, LL helps bring all these nightmares to the surface to finally deal with and put it to rest once and for...

OOPS Today Meals - usual water intake? 4litres thus far. Headache is subsiding. I am STARVED - that is all I hafta say about that. Not giving in...will guzzle more water instead. have a FAB night ladies. Hope all is well out there. Promise to read your diaries in the next couple of...

Okay...CHEERY time!!! THis is Week 14? Or something like that. Yesterday was GREAT! Lots accomplished. Rose bush is in and loving the rain we had today. Also yesterday I did an early morning walk of around 5miles - nice quick pace at THAT!! Spent some time in town - i DID have a starbucks...

OMGOSH Ladies! I am overwhelmed by all this. Magda? I adore you and am by no means upset for posting your pain on here - my gosh, I shared this and if someone else had or is going through something similar and it brings things to light - then what happened to me is no longer an empty piece of...

OMGosh...thank you ALL! Got a little misty eyed reading the posts above. Yes SB, this telling on here helps and much easier to get out - stumps me to no end. Today we are going to the garden centre and I will select a rose bush and plant it. From that point on - I will always have a place...

Week 13 Day 7 DOWN 3lbs!!!! Very shocked especially after a disasterous last saturday. My weight in kg is now in the 70's and I am deeeeeeelighted. Class was good and once again a real thought provoker and yet more things to tackle and deal with. So thankful for these classes! I mean, if...

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! Finally the week is OVER! Good gosh it has been a long one...and had little to no energy to much of anything today. So this is my week 13 Day 6 Meals - usual Water - poor intake but excelled in coffee and tea consumption. Sad - so will now up the water tonight be it...

Week: Whatever Day: whatever No clue and too lazy to check up in my diary to find out where I am. Safe to say, I have stayed on track. Water intake productive and back passage is providing positive results! I ROCK!! Read through some of yur diaries but am really tired tonight as it has...

Well done on the 1lb loss and doing the swimming thing. Shame about the class getting like that d/t one person with issues. People like that make me very uncomfortable and uneasy. Obviously deep issues witht that one and is not ready for help of any sorts just yet. xx

1lb is 1lb. You would totally of been bummed out if it was a gain of 1lb. Positives dahling... AND, that TOTM is a killer for weight (from what I remember). Always good for a good poop though. This is another positive ;) Now focus on the inches - weight is just a number. Your clothes are...

So I don't log in for a few days and we still talk about .....poop. Too funny!!! Did that Dunkan thing - interesting. Good for you for taking the bull by the horns, get in that water my lovely - your skin will thank you for it. Can't think of what else I wanted to say.....CRAP!!! I hate when...

Control is a great feeling, isn't it? I feel like the Dominatrix of food! Well sorta. Wish you luck in the WI. When do you get measured? xx

How are the first few days of the plan going? Tough isn't it? Doing the same thing here :( Tomorrow shall be better. xx

Week 13 Day 3 Shakes and porridge Ladies....been doing REAL good!! Roll on tomorrow so I can have a BAR!!! Love my bar in the mornings along with my coffee. Walked home from work - 45 minutes at a moderate pace. Water intake is alright - nothing special....working on improving this...

Yeah, I am a tad shy at first until you get to know me. Since I can remember, way back, I have always been afraid of public ANYTHING. Not sure where it came from and I detest standing out in a crowd - saying that, my mishaps in life really can make me stand out (unwillingly). I am fine on here...

Those balls should come with warning labels! Got a bit of rug burn on my chin. This should be an interesting story at work to tell ;) Who'd a thunk this would happen...LMAO Up early this mornng after the 'storm' all day yesterday. Those winds were terrible and viscious. Now to get outside...

Guess you are on the road now with work? Hope you are behaving ;) xx

Well done for not caving into temptation. I hear ya about the foul mood :( I was like that in my second week, just ready to rip the eyebrows off of anyone who came near me. Luckily it passes and eyebrows do grow back :) Soups? Hmmm....not really a soup person on this plan. Use to have...

Congrats on the 2lbs - five days in. I think that is good! Ahhh...probs of the bowel...a topic very common on here. Happy to hear you had results and weren't out and about then.........follow through with a sneeky toot. xx

hehehehe...pole dancing. YOU GO GIRL!! Glad you had a good weekend and prepared yourself for it. You are now back and ready to start again - positives all round xx

How you doing over there? Great news about the size 12 dress being big on you. xx

Doing good over there!!! Resisting a fry up and a chinese too? WELL DONE YOU! Not long now and you will be on your holidays (so jealous). The week will fly by - you watch. xx

Good Afternoon Ladies, Forgot to post yesterday :( and announce that this is WEEK 13 FOR ME!!!!! Okay, one day of a wobble ain't too bad in 13 weeks. It had to happen for me. I knew as the classes delved deeper and deeper into behaviours that I would be doomed. Happy that they do this...

Yes, I am bouncing back full force. Back as well Hannah and left you a message in your diary. Was a good (?) pseudo jog apart from the weather and O/H. Didn't do great strides but got out none the less. As soon as someone came close - I stopped jogging and just walked. The trail wasn't...

SB to the rescue. Always puts things into perspective and always admired. Hope you are reading this our Lovely Lady T. We all care about you. xx

The running of the loo doesn't last much longer - your body starts adjusting. I have my regular intervals and at night I am usually 10:30 and 1:30 with perhaps a 3am run for good measure. ;) xx

My jogging is done as well. I think we should switch partners: i will take your dog and you take my O/H! He just moaned the entire time as it was cold, then rain and finally hail. Total distraction. Would have welcomed pooping and scooping rather than hearing the poop out of his mouth...

SHe was in BUCKETS crying. She has posted the letter on her fridge for all to see and tells me she reads this daily to remember why she needs to lose weight and how she has neglected her body for so long. She also goes to the obese clinic and I am sure she may show it there as well. You are a...

Well done on the weight loss. Those kind of numbers keep you going and going (along with all that water ;) ) Never had a LUSH product in my life. I smell the shop in town about a mile away when walking and avoid it. Just too strong for me, I guess. Double up on the shakes? SURE!! I...

This is where SB usually enters and gives the sound advice. She is wise on this stuff. Hope she gets here soon! xx

Shame you feel so low today. Women can be cruel, mean, and just down right nasty (hands up to that on my part in the past). jealousy...pure jealousy is all. You are getting more attention than them and are the focal point of the evening. As the drinks flowed - so did the calibre of comments...

Good Morning Ladies, Woke up late thanks in part to my carb induced sleep coma last night. My tummy was in so much PAIN! I so wanted to be sick and get it over with. :( Back on track today. Currently doing some housework and laundry since I hadn't been taken by the rapture yesterday that...

Welcome back!! Was wondering where you had gone to. Speedy recovery to you and we all just ADORE your oars! Stick em in my dear - much appreciated (oh...but not in mine right now...lol teasing) xx

LOL, Wasn't sure if my post was apropo or not. Figured what the heck...if anyone is offended then tough. It can always be deleted anyways. You have different sayings over here to what we have back home. I speak at work to friends about my 'girl friend' back home. Everyone looks at me in...

Good Evening Ladies!!! must announce to you all. The weeble wobbled tonight. Yeppers, I had a chicken dinner. We had to go out with some friends (unexpectedly) to a restaurant. I was in a state of panic and not in the best of mind states before d/t what I talked about earlier. As soon as...

Cheers Julz. One day I hope to look amazing and if it takes another year to 2 years for that skin to shrink? - so be it. My anitcs....lol Oh hun...if I make it thru ONE day without putting my foot in my mouth or doing something out of the ordinary it would be a miracle. Swear I should just...

Thanks Lady T My wardrobe now consists on a pair of beige linen trousers with 4 tops I can wear; 2 black and 2 white. OH..i did buy a pair of white trousers last week and a green/white striped short sleeved sweater last week but not comfortable wearing that just yet. Guess when i firm up and...

Hi BB13 Congrats on getting thru this far - gets soooooooooo much easier in a few more days, honest. Look forward to reading more about your progress AND...the huge loss you are gonna experience from here on in. xx

Glad your head is coming around and you are back. Our pets do know when we aren't right or feeling blue...they are so comforting aren't they? Even my feline Cujo attack cat seems to spare me her wrath during my down times. Skinny jeans and a tight vest top? WOW, sounds good! Happy it makes...

Your letter my dear? BIG HIT back home! Thanks again. Think I asked before but incase I didn't; can I send this to the gals in my group as well? Just love your avatar - can't get over the change!! OH..and those LEGS!! Didn't Rod Stewart have a song about this? xx

Thanks for the post in my diary.... Rings true xx

Okay, gave a bit of thought about the mouth comment ....again. Some man loving? PSHAW!!! You need a BOB! Battery Operated Boyfriend. Clean, reliable and accessible at YOUR convenience. Now I know what you are thinking and SHAME on you all ;) MASSAGING THE SHOULDERS ladies!!!! I task...

Cheers Doll, Sure you don't have a magic wand hidden away? This is such a biggie for me and feels like a MOUNTAIN. Digging deep on this as I have NO idea why I even developed this fear. Also have a fear of clothes matching hence I wear sloppy clothes in dark colours that never match. I...

Cheers! Wish I was inspireable...hope I spelled that right. LOL Look at your loss there! WOW, congrats to YOU!!! xx

Hannah? Thanks...a HUGE thanks. You are correct, especially about peeps worried about their own insecurities. When I am walking, I really pay no attention to joggers or other people walking by me. Just can't get it thru my thick head that why would I be the 'special'one to be targeted by ill...

Please don't punish yourself - it happened and life will go on. Brush yourself off (as you are doing now) and start the day fresh. Falling off the wagon is how we must learn on this journey ...for some strange reason. I feel myself wanting to fall right now. Only because I am afraid to deal...

Back from WI and down 3lbs. Wasn't 'over the moon' with joy or happiness as I am not focusing on weight now. I really REALLY need to tone up and get moving!! Talked with the LLC as I was weighing in (about goal changes etc)and she tells me that the book we are about to start will help deal...

Thanks Lady T - I wish I could feel beautiful at least once a week! Very low self esteem issues that I am working on. You are very VERY kind towards me and I appreciate this. xx

Yet you doubt again...LOL Shocked me AND I didn't sign up to have THAT page on my friends list. BTW I put a before photo of myself in my album (hope I did it right). Chopped my head off as I am one UGLY chica. Just not feeling like a beautiful person just yet.....if ever. Working on it...

Well said Lady T. Pleasure in the mouth bit kinda threw me into .....HYSTERICAL laughter. We are all here for ya woman xx

Good Mornin Up at at 'em this morning. Senekot - hmmmmm think my old gold fish pooped more than me at this point. Gonna get a couple of strong coffees into me before I leave. This is ridiculous! BTW, Shirley from Eastenders? There is a Facebook page dedicated to the 'TOE'. too funny!!

How you doin this morning? Yesterday is the past, today is the future. Lapses happen - time to forgive yourself and start again. One day at a time. Heck, one hour at a time. Look how far you have come. xx

K....senakot taken....water in.....bath done. Bored SILLY tonight. O/H watchin a movie, cat is snorin - typical friday night. Really need to think about going out and playin bingo or something to occupy myself for next week. Need to keep BUSY!!! 0r go to bed :( Bed wins tonight night...

you doing this in anticipation of upcoming holidays? Sabotage now and feel like crap? Because u know the outcome but don't know the outcome of how you would be on holidays? Nervous and still feeling low? Fed up with cloths situation not fitting right (too big and too small). Found that as...

Glad you are better today. See how appreciated you are on here? Loads of support right at your finger tips. Would be fantastic if we all lived closer and give each other the HUGE hugs we all deserve. Never EVER can have enough hugs (apparently).....Still working on that btw.... xx

When and if we do ever meet? I am the good looking one ;) in the crowd :D

Glad all is okay over there! I am sure he was bricken it on the flight home of what YOU would do to him...and that was probably far worse than what he had to go thru in the States. ;) Does LLT get easier? Sure does and as mentioned above it becomes routine. We all have our moments but then...

Week 12 Day6 Typical meals WI tomorrow - not nervous....yet. Haven't had much action in the BR department and Murphy's Law will prevail: the scales will budge some BUT.....once I am home i will do my business so well that my eye colour will change to blue (I have brown eyes btw) and be...

GREAT NEWS!!! I never knew this and glad I know now. Still hope for my jiggly bits yet. xx

Oh...but I DID wear his boxers. He bought some awhile back and I washed them and they shrunk. His wee buns can't fit into them at the moment so I have now adopted them. VERY comfy. By only fear is HIM, wearing MY thing/thong. Some things are better left unseen:eek: xx

You are a HOTTY! or is that spelled Hottie? Either way...you are 'IT' . xx

Cheers hun on noticing. Some days it feels like a zillion years away to reach target - this is one of those days. Just had my bath and noticed the loose saggy skin :( Man I feel and look like I am OLD. Remedy will be to do my squats, lifts, grunts and groans. Not fussed now about any loss...

Welcome to the forum. Great place to de-stress and let it all out. What a terrible last few days for you. I hope you get some news soon and do keep us informed. Positive thoughts all round. here is hoping that he had to turn his phone off while in the air and perhaps he accidently left...

Week 12 Day 5 Meals - typical Dinner was chili and my snack will be porridge. Water intake - pas trop bon (not too good) Will get another litre in tonight. Work was okay - had a french speaking customer on the phone and was a good chance to brush up on what I allegedly learned in school...

A size larger? OMG thanks for the tip. Never thought of that. Today i opted for a pair of O/H's boxers. Just couldn't handle picking my arse another day! Peeps at work tend to look at me strangely when I do that. :) xx

Hello Lovely! Was wondering where you been hiding. Brave of you to put it all down here. Never EVER feel that you will bring any of us down by posting - jeesh :) This IS the place to let it all out hun and you would probably be helping someone else out in the process who is feeling the same...

4.5lbs gone...vanished!!! YA FLIPPEN YAHOO! Saaaawwwweeeeeeet loss there woman. Pat yourself on the back for that. S'okay to feel down at times. Just never doubt what you are capable of. Encouragement, support and the odd kick in the bum is what we need on here. You need to treat...

skinny jeans without muffin top...hahahaha LOVE IT!! xx

Good loss - pound is a pound. I must investigate this matalan thing. Right now for me it is primark, thrift shops and ebay. xx

7lbs!! OMGoodness, AMAZING!!! Good for YOU!!! Have your feet touched the ground yet? Speech prepared?!? 2 stone in 6 weeks - BRAVO! xx

Oh dear....why you worried about the outcome of your holidays so soon? Listen, I will be MORE than happy to go on holidays for you ;) Don't worry about a weight gain while away - just enjoy the time and be aware of what you are eating. This is something we all will hafta face at some point...

Brilliant LOSS!!!! Deeeelighted!! Now enough with the crooked thoughts ladies - not doing your self esteem any good with those. They don't belong in your NEW world. So....gonna buy a thong now? hehehehe

WOO HOOO size 10 stretchy dress! Congrats on the loss! 2lbs is FANTASTIC. I am jealous though - I only did a 2pounder last week and I DIDN't eat nor cheat! AHHH..really happy for you - honest. Well done girl - well done xx

Laughing away here at all your comments. Today I attempted another thong. Sorta hafta at this point until i get back into town to buy some full back pannel knickers. T'was easier today wearing it but still feel like they are getting into all my nooks and crannys. Guess they just take sometime...

LMAO.

WI?? Good luck! Hurry back and let us know. xx

Peepin in on ya! Still reading your past posts...sorry. Got tired last night (as ya know) and trying to catch up. Still in awe with your stats and determination!! xx

What is Matalan? Never heard of this so I guess Mags is not alone for never being in one

Oh dear me......shame about a crap start day and being cold. Not pleasant by any means. Wobble on by all means!! Now what are you doing hopping on the scales at home? STEP AWAY from the scales (echoed throught the forum). They tend to lie. Perhaps you toned and gained muscle? I mean...

Just read the above messages. Shame about not getting on Total but...there is a good reason as to why. No hardships though because you at least get to go onto Lite! So don't dwell too much on the negatives and look at the positives. You are a bright woman with loads of determination to...

Liking the plan Mags. Great to have a guide/plan to help you along the way and I have faith in you to see it thru. You have come this far with so much that happened - the last bit you shall sail through. That spunk and determination gets you far in life. Shame about the tonsils :( I too...

I WON the dress on Ebay! YAHOO. Now let's hope it fits. The dress was on last week and when I went to bid, the internet connection and comp decided differently. :( Still waiting on the swim suits to arrive - ETA is by the 18th. For the slow cooker episode...AHEM. Left it for O/H to check...

Off to bed now Ladies, Can't think or form 2 words to make sentences tonight. Tried some diaries and probably none make sense....oops. Just now tired - to slumperland I go xx

How you doing over there? Lucky you going on holiday! You will lose those pounds and more before you go - probably more if that ducolax works ;) One of the gals in my group went on holidays for a week and came back half a stone lighter! She did tons of walking and took her meals with...

How is the RTM going? The first couple of days sounded great! Your head is in the right place for sure! XX

Just poopin in for a peep. Good luck tomorrow in the WI. You are correct - loads of lovelies on here that are so supportive. I don't know what I would do without them. Meetings are good...but day day support is what I need, and I get it from here How was the movie? xx

Well done yesterday with 100% on track. love it: Operation - skinny jeans. xx

Been checked out, eh? WAY cool!! Love the comment made about giving the booty a little extra wiggle..LOL I am with Gem on this.. in my case, should I do that? It WOULD be wind that would cause it...OR...I would simply pass wind by accident. Now listen Missy - don't stress out about weigh...

YAHOO!! Good for you girl. Onwards and upwards from now on. No regrets ...they weigh you down. Let us know how the movie goes xx

Spread was a success and it was all gobbled up. I did NOT even lick my fingers!! So proud of myself :) Put the roast in the slow cooker this morning before I left for work and it was done by the time i got home. Did the magic to it and sent it off to its rightful owner. AGAIN - I did not...

Thanks Cass - I too will be more careful what pills I take from now on. Those cravings are Brutal. BTW, your stats are amazing!! Haven't read you diary yet...but I will now ;) xx

OMGosh...you okay now? Somehow I missed this blog (mind is scattered all the time). I love to cook or did (on occassion). O/H has been doing his own meals thus far and this roast and the other meal is doing my head in. CHEESE!!! OMGoodness...i LOVE cheese. Now I want some too.. LOL Food...

Good Morning All Up and at 'em early. Not doing the dinner in the oven and opted instead to do it in the crock pot. Figured out, I think, why I am hungry: remember I took some ibuprofen the other day? WELL......it was the coated kind :( I seem to recall at the begining of LL something...

Week 12 Day 1 Breakfast - BAR Lunch - shake dinner - porridge snack - porridge Pretty routine, eh? Consistancy...first time in my life I feel consistant at something, other than nagging. So I had to do a wee cook today :( Promised them at work a type of spread that I would make back...

back from the walk. Was out for about hours just fumbling along and looking at the sea scape. Something about water/waves that just makes me so happy and calm. Gave some thought about my bad thoughts earlier as i was SMELLING the smells from the chipper, BK and various other restaurants...

You are so right about this: I will know when the time is right. Would help if I owned a mirror so I can actually see what I look like :o To date I have always avoided them out of fear. Glad I make you smile with my antics on here. You are doing well too my dear. Actually, we ALL our doing...

Good Morning/Afternoon Ladies Bored stiff today. Must be something in the air cause I really REALLY want to just go and have something solid (foodwise) today. Missing that crunch factor. This is Day 2 of having these thoughts. Luckily I am still in a good place - so not gonna have a...

Hey Sweets Just catching up on what is going on with you. I have no advice to give but what has been offered to you above I am in agreement with. Makes good sense. Talk with the LLC, see what she has to say. Keep your life simple as you can. You are a wonderful person, and will sort this...

Jedward butchers all songs - can't stand them. not much on tv tonight...bored SILLY up here! O/h just turned on some movie and guess this is my signal to have my bath. His taste and mine differ greatly ....MEN!!!! ENjoy your evening lovely xx

Well done! Enjoy the movie - I hear it is a good one. xx

Week 11 Day 7 Breakfast - the 'BAR' Lunch - the "shake" Dinner - porridge Snack - porridge Feelin like a porridge kinda gal today. One wicked headache most of the day - guess due to a change in the weather? Did go to a second hand shop today and got myself a pair of white trousers and a...

Ty Gem, Copied and pasted your letter off. Will let you know how she takes this. Mentioned your letter to a few gals in group and now they want to read it. Would this be okay? Looking at your photo - WOW, what a transformation!! you are stunning!! Well done thus far - keep on going...

Back from WI and down 1kg = 2.2lbs. Things are seemingly slowing down. Still happy and content that I am losing. They did the measurement thing today: Bust - down 6inches waist - down 8.5 inches hips - down 7 inches Grand total of inches lost? 21.5 Since starting LLT Changed my goal weight...

Always a pleasure, never a chore Clarabell :) I know...ME, in a THONG. Just had to try them. I too am a granny knickers kinda gal but was time to step out of the old and try something different. WELL...these are soooooooo different! xx

Tomorrow is weigh in. Not nervous, not in the least. Today, in town, I bought.................3 THONGS!! This should be interesting. Best part: they are labelled for size 10 -12 AND.......THEY FIT! Yeppers, my little cheeks actually look quite cute hangin out of my knickers. hehehehehe...

Thanks Ladies. Yeah, nobody has gone bald from this plan so I am safe ;) Guess I will just keep it clipped up for the duration. Can't NOT colour my hair as I have mucho platinum at the base :( But will be gentle from now on. BTW, you are doing amazingly well Pinkie. Almost at your goal...

Gem...that letter to yourself ......AMAZING. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Would it be okay if I copied that and sent it to a relative of mine? She is trying to lose weight (32st and 5'2") and I think this could be something she needs to read. Don't stress about falling - this...

OMGOODNESS! Well done YOU!!!! I am....speechless (for once). xx

FAB weight loss! I too think those scales at WI are fixed ;) I know in MY head it should say more lost but HEY HO... Must be part of keeping us grounded? When you suppose to hear back about the job? Got so caught up in your WI, I forgot if you posted a deadline or not? xx

Hey Hun Checkin in to see how you are doing. Anxious to come back? hehehehe Scary out there isn't it. No idea what I will be like leaving the sanctity of our little nunnery :( xx

Agree with the others. Learn and move on. You have done amazingly well! I think the easy part is losing the weight on LL, the hard part will be keeping it off if we don't change our thoughts/minds. So many lessons to learn, habbits to change - isn't life FUN. xx

WELL DONE!!!!! WOOO HOOO.

WOW, just read the last couple of pages. Very brave to put this down and share. Can relate to so much of this- and all along in my life, until now, I thought I was the only one who thought these things. Congrats on the weightloss and I mean that with all my heart. You are correct: 2lbs is...

Happy Friday the 13th! Took the day off as I have time saved up and thougt I would catch up on the chores. Tried to sleep in with no success - up at 5a.m. :( So what did I do? LOUNGE. T'was lovely. The past few days have been busy ones thus why I hadn't posted, nor peeped. I did try to peep...

:rotflmao:

LOL...yeah..the Weeb can wobble but NEVER falls down - you got that one right:) My childhood was interesting for a Jerry Springer or Jeremy Kyle movie...LOL I am guessing that while being on the LL and with the group sessions and those dang books = confronting the past and the importance of...

I have a low BP - should explain a lot about my posts..hahahahaha How ya been doing? xx

Our Dear Mags, Forgive me for not keeping up with your diary. I just read this page and now must read the previous page....to fully understand what is happening. You can't leave...we won't let ya!! As mentioned above - you are a motivator, and inspiration!! Stick around please...

Agree with the others about the BMI thing...whatever you feel comfortable at and can maintain is always best. Charts like that are not true and don't reflect the body type. The chart gives us false hope and thus sets us up for failure, as it is not achievable. AND...one day I will learn that...

It is okay...I probably misread. I read so fast and try to respond ASAP as thoughts don't stick in m head too long at this time of night,. My LLC told me that they only sell a week at a time. Not sure if that is engraved in stone or just her rules. xx

Good luck with your journey. Looks like your are doing a great job thus far! Lady T is correct - you are now surrounded by beauties in here :) that will cheer you on. Look forward to reading more about your progress. BTW, well done at Easter.

Just peeping in. Well done on the loss thus far. It does get easier, honest. I agree with Gem...step AWAY from the scales and trust only the ones used on your WI day. I, have NOT learned that one to date :) Drink your water, smile lots and be prepared on buying some new clothes soon. xx

No idea where to get extra food packs. I, myself, have an extra days supply from when I was on the antibiotics and just ate soup. You are more than welcome to have them. Good news that you can come back! YAHOO...let the games begin!! I was laughing away at the comments about food talk...

:) How are you tonight beautiful. Gonna pop over into your diary and have a nosey in a minute. Never worry about me...I am the WEEB!!:D

Week 11 Day 2 Breakfast and lunch - the usual. OH...silly me. Been mixing my shakes wrong. Suppose to add 200ml of water? I have been 300mls. no wonder they weren't getting frothy :( So today I made sure I had the correct amount of water in and WOW, what a difference! Dinner - chili and...

You give such good advice coupled with common sense.....MARRY ME! LOL teasing. Drinking hot water was something we did as kids to help with the BR department. My g/mother used to have a cuppa every morning. I honestly wasn't thinking properly yesterday. Will know better next time. thanks xx

I am chirping back. :)

Cheers Dahhhhling Much better today. I have done amazing? Excuse me?? You have done amazing as well, and will continue to do so. big hugs back at ya chicky. We MUST get together afterwards and do a shopping spree and a make-over with Magda. There are a few more on here that would probably...

LL IS worth it. Times like these we need to reflect and then not fall into the same hole we would normally do by going back to old habbits. You will get so much inspiration here along with fantastic tips. Very caring group. You are in SW Wales? One place I never been. Heard lots about it...

I am fine Hun...honest. I agree with moving to a warmer climate!! So damp over here and OOOooooooh that wind!! Goes right through a person. Coldest we get back home is around -40c and the hottest we get is about +40c (with humidex). But believe me....it is a darn sight colder here than back...

Love how you found positives in that...LOL You been reading the books! :) The food did smell great and it did "stick" to my clothing as I could smell it long after I had my bath. had to do laundry last night to rid the smell. xxx

Not a soda water fan and you are probably right about the banana shake. When I wrote above - i initially thought ...YEAH..drink more banana shakes!! Doubtful too they will do what I need. The boullion I totally forgot about - my mind wasn't thinking properly. I am out of the drink mix but will...

No need to worry about me lovely ladies. I survived, and yeah..was a tad down in the dumps. Yesterday was Mither's day back home :( and i was getting homesick. My own mither isn't doing the best these days and is in a nursing home. She needs more care and they want to move her up to a...

The bathroom activities have slowed down. Nothing much LEFT. Will think twice before doing that again. What a MISERABLE day up here. Went for a walk into town and thought I would be fairly safe with just a misty drizzle - WRONG. By the time I got into town, the front of my jeans were...

How is your wee girl doing? Not nice when they are sick :( Smart casual clothes? All I have in my closet is a pair of beige cotton trousers, white t-shirt and a black blazer. That is about as smart and casual as i get. I am not one to even OFFER advice on what looks good or is in style...

Last abstinence class - well done YOU!! Bet you have all kinds of emotions running through your head. You are making some wise choices about not eating alone..it is a social thing and although LLT we are kinda excluded (or feel it). We all must face eating with others again for the rest of...

Yes, SB is a saviour. Always good advice and inspiration. You are a STAR!!

Week 10 Day 7 Usual meals - no variance. Still not bored of them Did nothing today :( Too wet and rainy for walks and I defo wasn't go risk going back into town. So i played games online, sent off emails and lounged. Was gonna mention that I have been getting leg cramps during my sleep...

That woman hit home for me as well. I really should post my old pic on here at some point tonight. Good for you! You have come a long way and it just keeps getting better from here on in. Still singing over there? :D

Thanks Gracielou. Times like these....we all need to remember 'inches'. It is not putting me off one little bit. I can tell from my trousers that I am losing. Even my bra that I bought a few weeks ago is needing to go to the second hand shop. Not doing much today. I DID sign up for that...

Welcome to the forum! Good luck and look forward to reading about your journey.

She is saWEET! Well, hello Dolly!! Umm, should I have sung that? What a nice surprise for you and, of course, Dolly. She has a forever home now. Tearing up here. xx

nice of the ex to come over and bring you gifts. Aww hun...lunch sounded like a horrible experience for you. The not knowing what and how must be doing your head in. What about one of the other groups in here for ideas? This doesn't mean you leave us here ...GOT IT. But I mean just popping...

Back from WI and down 2.5lbs. Really wasn't expecting anything to be fair. Was a low numbers week for all the gals that started with me. Not gonna dwell on the numbers because it IS about inches and learning - the numbers loss are then just a bonus, right? Time to have my shake and skip to...

Good Morning Ladies, Thanks for the support. Not gonna have a cheat day. Did some more thinking about it and after watching that show Supersize vs Superskinny last night - some home truths came....well...home. I get so much out of those shows it seems almost too simple. Guess we all have...

Happy Birthday Beautiful. Have an superb day. xx

GOing for a bath now...thought i would try to post in some diaries and play catch up. I don't know about you...but I start off at the top and slowly work my way down...UGH..it is MURDER when people post and throw it out of MY order...LOL I am also finding I am confused on who is whom in here...

How you doing today chica? Just thought of something (scary isn't it?) This blood test you got done, was it because of your Dad and what he said? xx

Feeling better? xx

head straight? me?? Could take year hun...LOL Will talk to LLC and give it a whirl and leave it open for discussion. Just had another DUH with regard to the exercise and being hungry. Honestly, how do i manage to walk these days - I am really WAY OUT THERE lately. Guess this is all part of...

Good for you for being non smoking for 3 weeks. Will power of steel is so TRUE! You have good incentive as well....starting a family ;) Quite impressed with your losses on LL - hats off to you. No tips to offer in exercising - mind is still spinning from reading the above DUO exercises...

Good Evening Lovelies Week 10 Day 6 meals - same I did have double porridge tonight rather than having chili and biscuit. Also took a double dose of Senekot - so my need to RUN anytime soon - literally. TGIF - been a day and then some. Time flew but was stressed. Water intake poor so will...

Would you believe I typed my day out and then this dang curser moved itself onto the advert below and I hit enter and it directed me to a gastric band?! FRICKEN HECK!!! Okay, quickly will sum this up Week 10 Day 5 Same routine of meals - it just doesn't get boring for me No exercise...

LMAO @ Julslynne

Jog was good! I don't jog well...I jig instead :) Really need a heavy duty bra. I did double up however...but still was a dangerous scene for some. I ran for a minute...walked for 3minutes then jogged for a minute, and kept this going for 20 minutes until my lungs felt like they were gonna...

Look how far you have come - still amazed with your numbers. Some weeks are a struggle but at least we know, from the gentle reminders at the meeting, that although we are not allowed certain things now...we CAN have them eventually. That is the one statement that keeps me going at least...

MEE TOO!!! Glugging right now as I type! Chin up kiddo - BIG loss is in the cards for you. xxx

Hey Cutie, Just read what is happening. Gutted for you as well, and probably by now you have read up on this. Listen, we all support you on this because we want you around for a LONG time. As you are aware potassium is needed in the body to keep things running properly and with too much...

Week 10 Day 4 (this just never changes...does it) Had the usual breakfast and lunch - bar and shake Dinner - double porridge Work is picking up quite a few notches and was getting stressed. We are down 3 peeps in the office and my 'beloved' was well used by others. I refrained but...

Brothers are nasty creatures when young and sadly...they don't improve with age either! lol I hauled ALL packages out of the freezer and starting gluing my wee heart out. Glue was everywhere!! Carpet, walls...my hair!! Thank heavens we didn't have superglue back then :) It was quite a scene...

:peep: xx

Love the jump suit - very chic. You will melt those extra pounds in no time flat - you are our unstoppable Magda. Nothing gets in your way and if it does...LOOK OUT! Cheering you on my lovely xx

You will do well tonight my dear. I wish you all the best tonight but we both know it WILL be a loss. Besides...it isn't about numbers (I can hear my LLC yapping in my ear now)...it is about inches as well. Feel free to remind me of this later on ;0) Luck to ya!!

Great loss this week! 67lbs - GONE! Have you posted any before photos on here? I could look, I suppose, but it took me forever to find Magda's! No idea how I did it, and doubtful i would be able to repeat it..hehehe Impressed with the stats- VERY much. You RULE!!

Well Lovely Lady? CONGRATS!!! 5 lbs....YAHOOOOOOO! Well done, terrific, outstanding and brilliant. I do make 'subtle' comments don't I? HAHA About as subtle as a brick to the back of the head at times. But I really do mean what I say in regards to you. Sometimes we fail to see just how...

How you doing there chicky? xx

Week 10 Day 3 Breakfast - cranberry/raspberry bar Lunch - banana shake Dinner - chili with oatmeal biscuit. Water was so so...almost 2 litres and struggling. No exercise today - don't wanna. Feel that I did enough the last couple of days so am taking today off. Great to be back at work...

Must have Welsh in my blood then somewhere down the line. Both my parents were in WW2 and saw lots but never talked about it. Both came from rather large families and were raised during the depression. No time to discuss emotions, thought, feelings. You just dealt with it and moved on. Strong...

Good Luck with the WI. What you talkin about this age and clothes thing. You where what you want, when you want. Dag nab it...you are deserving of that. I am lookin at bikinis for crying in the corn and i WILL wear one - stretch marks and all! Don't care...not bothered...this is MY body...

Yee haw for you! Keep strong girl - you are a winner! xx

Found the button and saw the photos. NO WAY!! That wasn't you...was it? What a transformation girl! You have changed so much!!!! You are one hot chick! You put me to shame. xxx

Impressed that you are still on the Shred. I like your style and organization, and read about the clothes shopping as well. Great feeling taking in former sizes and having them be too big for you. How you liking the LL lite? The menus look scrummy btw. xx

Good Luck with the WI. Rootin for ya but we all know you will do very well. Can't believe you are on week 17 - WOW. Speach!! SPEACH!!! xx

To all you Lovelies out there? I am giving you a BIG THANK YOU. I tried to post in each of your diaries this but by the time I found you...my comp had logged me off and had to sign in again. Only managed a couple of thank you's.....but to me? ALL of you made my day a wee bit better. Would...

Oh Lady T, so much more I could say with regards of growing up. But I just can't right now. Perhaps in time..just not now. Glad you got something out of it. :) Makes me feel better knowing that in some way I shed some light to someone else and that I am not alone in this battle. xx

Just stopping in to say...thanks.

Clara? You are brilliant! Love what you have put down and shared on here. So, if you think I inspire you? My dear....YOU inspire ME!! xx

Okay..I am blind. Where is the photos? Looked and can't find anything. is there a secret button that I should be pressing?? I will take the word of others - unrecognizable! And in a sense..it is true cause my page is blank and I didn't even know it was you. :) Good luck with the WI. As...

Week 10 Day 2 Breakfast - peanutcrunch bar with a cuppa tea Lunch - choco shake Dinner - mock sloppy joe (chili with oatmeal biscuit) Water intake - almost 2 litres Walk - as stated above Been a good day thus far but really need to get back to work. These long weekends are killers...

Good Evening Ladies Your posts made me chuckle :) Coffee and cigarettes since 4yrs old especially. Never thought of how that looked until you mentioned it Slenda. Nah...first memory of not eating was d/t some family probs, move out to the country and the death of a cat. Kept this way for a few...

Did I mention...WEEK 10!!! That is 70 days and counting!!! OMG, who da thunk it. Me, moi, on a week 10 of anything!! Wish I discovered this years ago. Then again, if I had...i would never of met all you lovelies. Think of just how empty your lives would be without....ME LMAO

Missed posting yesterdays delicious menu! :) let me think...oh yesssss....it was WEEK 10 Day 1 Breakfast - porridge Lunch - choco shake Dinner - double porridge Yes, it was a porridge day and I LOVED it. This was also the day we went out to lay flowers for the O/H s parents We took the...

Good Morning Ladies I read the posts, digested them and you are all right. Btw, thanks for the wonderful compliments - I feel I am not worthy of a badge for losing 100lbs at this point. Why? Cause it wasn't all down to LL and I look at others who claim the badge and they did it on LL. So I...

hehehe just HAFTA do this WEEK 10 DAY 1 Looks impressive, eh? BTW, i tried on the size 12 trousers this morning? THEY FIT!!! They are zipped up with no aid of laying on the bed! That black dress? Ummm...need to get rid of the chest shelving units as I can't get it over my dang boobs...

Thanks Ladies for the kind compliments. When I worked out the weight conversion yesterday I was beaming ear to ear afterwards and why? Well, when I came over here I weighed in at 283lbs (that is 20st something), in fact on the plane ride...I needed the extension belt to fasten up! I did shed...

Okay...not gonna beat around the bush. LOST 4 friggen POUNDS!! Can almost see hitting 12 stone....something....NEXT WEEK! At the meeting we are going into yet ANOTHER area of discovery and i felt like crying. Haven't wrapped my head around my discovery last week and now another one...

Welcome back my lovely! You have been very much missed here. So you were off for a month (the plan) - no biggie. At least you had some fun, and chillaxed. The important thing is you are back with us. Can't change the last month - so no need to worry about it - right? Take care my dear xxx

Darn...forgot to post yesterday :( Been a tad busy here in a sense; been doing some inner searching as to why I stress eat/not eat (I go from one extreme to the other) and I cracked this egg! Now to figure out how to get over it and move on. It is a deep one so i suppose this takes time...

Well, I am back - no lottery win :( As you all say on here; Onwards and upwards, there will be other lotteries. So I folded the little umbrellas and put them away until the next time. DRATS!! Week 9 Day 5 Breakfast - peanutcrunch bar Lunch - pie Dinner - chili and porridge biscuit Tried...

Jeepers creepers...what a week for you! It WILL get better, positive thoughts...k? Like the comment you made to your daughter: this made me smile too. You are one special person.

Welcome and good luck. Look forward to reading your progress. As said above, drink lots and some hot baths along do help, the weekly losses will inspire you to keep going.

Just popping in and got caught up on your diary. VERY sorry to hear about Lizzy :( my sympathy to you Glad you are back in the zone now and...a BIG congrats on the loss! xx

Thanks! Just out of the bath and into jammies. Dishes are done, load of laundry is in the washer and will be ready to go outside on the line in the a.m.. Meals are packed and ready to go as well. Will do another walk home tomorrow and that will be it until after weigh in. Confession: I...

Thanks for the post in my diary. Just read yours and WELCOME to the forum. This program does get easier, honest. Everyone is correct in saying that your weigh ins are the best motivator to keep going. You will have a fantastic loss this week and each week after that, you WILL keep losing...

Well done on your LOSS!!

Big Hugs to you. You are doing well too hun. Strong woman are you.

Week 9 Day 4 Breakfast - cranberry/raspberry bar Lunch - vanilla shake Dinner - porridge Snack - porridge Walked home, did the theraband, a bit o'wi and exercised the old moo with some nagging at the O/H. Why? Just felt like it - only excuse I can think of. Did get the marigold and will...

Hugs to you both. Wish there were words to say that will take the pain away. Time heals - memories are forever. -------{----@

Cheers for where to buy the Marigold. Went into one shop tonight and couldn't find any and was wondering if perhaps I got the name wrong. There is a Holland and Barrett in town and I will go there tomorrow and pick it up. Any excuse to go for a walk in this nice weather ;) Week 9 Day 3...

Week 9 Day 2 Breakfast - cranberry/raspberry bar Lunch - the 'soup' Dinner - looks like it will be a shake as I am going out to have reflexology done and wont be home until after 7 Snack - pie My bum is SORE! Slept like a baby last night thanks to all that fresh air yesterday - still not...

Good to know. Will be getting some of this stuff as I do fancy something different from time to time.

:peep: Checkin in on ya. Hope all is well xx

Congrats on Day 100! Sorry I am a tad late :( Bet you feel like a million pounds now - Teeth whitening? Look out world!! The new you has emerged. xx

Welcome back!! Sounds like you and the family had an amazing time! BTW, love the new photo of you. Good luck with the WI - I am sure you will do fine. You have been missed xx

Dang emotional/comfort eating, it gets us all at some point afterall, we are all human with emotions. Happy that you put this down on here, helps not just you but all of us to reflect on how we also deal with situations and hopefully sit and think before we reach for...........whatever. You...

We are allowed broth on LLT? I must have missed this. If that is the case...i am so gonna get some of this! Thank you SO much!!! xx

Bike ride? Ummmm...not me....not my style. Had one HECK of a time working these silly hand breaks! Who knew one operated the front and the other the back wheels?? That cross bar is NOT female friendly btw :( There were loads of other bicyclists out and zooming by me along the beach walk...

Lost for words Lady T. Feel so much for both you and your daughter right now. I too hope the antibiotics work and there is a spring in his step soon. Also, very proud of you for not having food issues. BIG improvement: these classes really do help tackle the stresses in our lives. xx

Happy Easter Everyone! Was up and about at 7am, did some housework, and now just waiting for O/H to get his buns outta bed so I can wash the sheets then hang 'em out on the line for the day. Nervous about today's ride on 'the bike'. So am trying to convince myself that I am old and shouldn't...

I LOVE tabasco sauce even though I can't spell it half the time (okay, MOST of the time). Chili requires btwn 10 -15 drops as well and a dash of cayenne pepper for the full monty effect. Have some more of the "soup" to do this week and will keep on experimenting with sauces. Umm..what is this...

You are right Lady T - I shouldn't focus on weekly losses :( Just something I need to change and get out of the old mind frame. Should be focusing on inches instead I guess. BTW, I didn't get measured this week :( So will nag my fearless leader next week to get this done. The bike IS gonna...

You are so welcome! It has been an adventure thus far and still more to come. This plan is the best I have ever been on and many others will agree. There are a few ups and downs but mostly there are UPS. The weekly weigh ins makes it so worth it. I wish you the bestest of luck in your journey...

You are doing very well on this 'shredding'. Keep it up - you are very inspiring. Oh..and I like the idea of doubling up on the bra's to keep things in place - nice one. xx

The bike, O/H got for work, I went to see if I could find anything that would be good for me. Tried a couple and find the seats VERY uncomfortable. Not really a bike person truth be told however, I am hell bent on at least trying. Did find a nice one, 3speed and have put it on hold for now...

FLIPPEN ACE!! 4lbs are off. Got the soup today, and am about to try it. hope to heck it is good Enjoy your day everyone - off to pick up a bike :( Hope they still sell training wheels...LMAO

Week 8 Day 6 Breakfast - cranberry/raspberry bar with a cuppa Lunch - banana shake Dinner - (you guessed it) Chili-joe (sloppyjoe made of chili) Water is slowly improving. Walked home tonight and took the LONG way :) Wore my leggings and a sloppy sweatshirt and got tons of compliments on my...

Modest? Moi?!? I am an x-nurse for too many years I care to remember and I know no modesty...trust me. Ty...I am a mush for any kind of animal. i have so much patience for them it is unreal - but humans?! Ummm...okay, babies and toddlers I adore, then after that? I am a miserable person :(...

Shred? Curious here. Do tell me more Btw, you have done and are still doing fantastic!! Very impressed xx

A little late here, so forgive me. Great job on your loss this week. Sorry to hear about needing to rehome your puppy :( I can understand why though...your emotions must be all over the place right now. I really don't know what else to say as my eyes have filled up with tears for you both. I...

Good Luck tonight!! Can't wait to see how well you did. Yes, the bathroom and I have become best friends as well with all this water. I am in there at least once every hour :( Have you noticed your complexion changing yet? Happy to hear you had a good weekend and you did marvelous! As for...
