I'm a lapser too. About 10 days now. The first 2 or were intentional as I had a much needed weekend away for a special occasion but I have struggled to get totally back on the diet since then...to the point that over this weekend I have totally given up again. I'm nowhere near my goals and...

Well done to everyone for geting those negative thoughts out! I had a serious wobble almost two weeks ago and ate rubbish practicaly all the weekend. Strange that it happened as I started to feel better, after so many boring weeks, home alone, feeling ill.....But anyhow, I got straight back on...

I'm sory to hear that you haven't managed to maintain your loss, and wish you lots of luck for phase two! In my last LL session my LLC asked us all when we thought we would have finished the diet. It made our group realise that it doesn't ever stop. We are all invited to come back and weigh...

Don't automatically put it down to the diet. Although I had had similar symptoms before starting LL when I started feeling dizzy and sick and light headed a few weeks into the program I thought it must be the diet. It wasn't. I'm not saying you have the same problem as me, just that there...

Hi BL and thank you. It's quite a revelation to be feeling well, you don't realise how poorly you were feeling til you are feeling better again! As for my pic, I guess I got a bit shy :giggle: Hope you have been getting happier news of late x

Thanks Gobubbles - have just ordered it! Having missed several of the foundation classes due to illness I'm hoping it will fill in some of the gaps in my re-education!

Well ldare I say that lucky me is still in my pj's and I have just finished watching a film - it wasn't black and white though! I'm finally feeling better (miracle medication) and am finally going back to work tomorrow, I think I'm quite nervous, but am not really sure why! Definitely going...

I stupidly bought Duo boots about a month before starting LL. I got about 2 months wear out of them before they were a wrinkly mess around my ankles! Oh how I hope I'll be able to buy wellies one day......

GG, someone very close to me has type 2 (insulin dependant) diabetes as a result of the incorrect steroid treatment of colitis whch also resulted in surgery to remove his large bowel. Consequently I know about unexpected hypos only too well (ambulances on Xmas eve, etc) and that when people...

Oh dear, I hope it's nothing too bad? I don't think I can help re: the meds. Are you worried it will affect ketosis, or that it will be too strong? One thing I do know about codeine though is that it can cause constipation!

I'm going to hospital on Monday for my initial consultation - which I know is a good thing - but I'm scared. My relationship is all arguments, disappointment and cutting comments. I'm scared it's over even though I'm not happy at the mo. And I'm scared I'm going to eat. I mean REALLy eat...

I've had a couple of good days again followed by a couple of lousy ones. My employer has agreed to pay for a private consultation for me though, so hopefully I will get seen in the next week or two. As for water, I think I'm addicted! I think the helath benefits are so huge that I get quite...

That's just mental cruelty BL! But feel superior! Just imagine all those sweet and fatty treats sticking to evryone else's hips and thighs! Oh and be sure to hold on tight if you are having your fags outside - the wind might knock you off your high heels!

Also only just read this Lady and I agree wholeheartedly with Katie. Chin up chuck xx

Congratulations Leah! I was 16st 9lbs just 8 weeks ago and am now 14st 2lbs. Hopefully I will do as well as you - including the getting pregnant bit!!

Oooooo thank you Starlight! I'd have never guessed they were scales though!!!

Am a bit better now - have lost 8lbs this week! :party0019::party0019::party0019: Dave - hope the LL scales are lucky for you too So come on guys and gals - what have you all got planned for the weekend?

Ta for the sympathy guys, much appreciated. Have got myself together a bit now and am about to go to my first class in 4 or 5 weeks! Hopefully I'll have good news to report later. Hope you are all still drinking the water!!!! xxx

How do you give rep points, too??? I've received a couple but not been able to work out how to return the compliment:confused:

Hello all, Miserable Miss Moon here today. Have just been back to the docs, hoping he would let me back to work but he's signed me off for 4 more weeks. Am tired, gutted and rather upset and so far today have managed to cry in front of the doc, the receptionist and on the phone to my boss...

I think my LLC is a bit unorthodox, she seems to start people off with the packs before the class starts if there's not one due to start in the next week or so........

Probably just where mine is BL, oh to have some mediteranean flavours!! Especially as I have gone off the soups at the mo, well unless I turn them into crisps that is! Did you/someone say you can make crisps with sparkling water?? What happens??!

Afternoon all, and a big hello again, too! Apologies for being AWOL for the last week, I have been at my parents for some TLC (yes I'm STILL sick!), but I see that you have all been doing very well without me anyway, tee hee hee! A big belated well done to you all, I've just had a quick...

I think I will be joining you all at truffleshuffle.com but I also want to be able to shop at White Stuff for casual things and Coast for special ocasions! P.S. Did you know that a truffle shuffle was the nick name for the belly wobble of the 'fat' boy in The Goonies :o)

Congratulations Deb - it seems today is a day of achievements - you go girl! And enjoy your quorn!!

Well done on your successful 100 days. You sound so positive about your continuing development I'm sure you'll continue to do really well :o)

I'm going to the Bath Spa in a couple of weeks. It has recently been refurbished and there's a heated natural spa pool on the roof with views over the city. I think it looks stunning, you just buy a pass for however long you want to use it so it would be a great part of a weekend in Bath. I'm...

Thanks for your sympathy guys - much needed and appreciated! I have been ill on and off since the middle of November, it's a virus I just can't completely kick. Some days I feel normal (or as close to it as I get!), like when I first started LL. And then I have days where I feel really low...

Afternoon all. Isn't it cold and dreary today! I've really been struggling in the last few days, I think not being well enough to go to the class over the last few weeks is affecting my motivation. It's great to see everyone's before and after pics but where usually they are a great...

Linze you look absolutely stunning! That dress was made for you and you must be so proud - enjoy all these compliments, you deserve every one x

Kellie you look great! Well done on such a big change so fast - you must be made up x

Morning BL, glad you are feeling brighter today. 10% is a wonderful achievement - and so quickly. I think you and I started LL around the same time and you have just made me realise I've achieved 10% too - so thank you for that :D I am with Silhouette, we can't control how much we lose each...

Wow Ali - you have done so well and so fast! You look gorgeous in red and just perfect for Valentines weekend! Well done you and thank you for the inspiration!

Hello the girls! Great to hear that everyone is feeling so positive - amazing what difference a few days of sunshine can make! I managed to cook for my other half and his in laws yesterday without any temptation to eat what I was making and had no problem sticking to my mushroom soup while...

Hello all you happy campers! What a breath of fresh air you all are! I'm miserable today, have been signed off sick again by the Doc til a week on Monday and can't bear the thought of another week home alone! Had my weigh in a day early today as not up to going to class tomorrow and have lost...

I'm inbetween Andover and Basingstoke in Hampshire - just a little bit south of Ladylite, really! Was born not far from Stockport, grew up near Bristol, went to Uni in Portsmouth, but have been here for over 10 years now. Guess you could say I get around! :D

I'm a lighter lifer so no food for me, but we're going out to the cinema to see Jumpers instead. I had surprise flowers last week for having done so well on the diet, I think I might be pushing my luck to expect more tomorrow! :D Anyhow, I have sent him a Peace Lily to be delivered to his...

Fabulous achievement Ladylite! Well done and keep it up. You look gorgeous in your photo! x

I do that - worse luck! The person below is off to bed with a good book (I know I am! G'night girls and boys! x)

No competition this time! Radiohead Dusty Springfield

That's a toughie!!! Radiohead Foo Fighters

Fun Lovin Criminals Radiohead

Another thing I meant to say was that if you think about it in the way that you gave yourself the weekend off you can turn those negative thoughts about failing into positives - it was your choice. Now you just have to choose to get back on plan. Good luck!

Hey dalite You've been out and had a meal plus a couple of extra bonus foods? So what! Nobody died! You've just achieved 100 days without food and lost a whole lotta weight too! One day off the diet isn't going to ruin that....... But not being honest with yourself and not getting a grip...

Thanks Ali. My LLC thinks it's unlikely to be the diet (thank God!) since I would probably feel like this all the time - which I don't. However she has suggested that I might like to have an extra bar for a few days to increase my carbs to see if this improves the way I feel, just in case...

Hi girls. I'm having a crap day and considering eating real food! Before you tell me off, let me explain why... I wasn't well enough to work at all in December as I had labyrinthitis, the symptoms of which are feeling sick and dizzy, especially when moving around. I recovered just before...

I've worn the same style make up since I was about 15, I'm well over due an update, I think! Who was it that did your lesson? Any top tips for us???

How did the make up lesson go Ali?

No - think it's already been on and I'm afraid to say I'm watching QVC! (and I must resist the temptation to post the recent Beadle's a sprout joke!) The person below is a secret nose picker!!

What a change! What an inspiration! Keep going Claire and keep thinking of how you will look in another 11 weeks!

I was wrong - my LLC just meant that she would be getting in bars that were new to us ie. the peanut and cranberry ones. Sorry if I got your hopes up! :sigh:

It seems that (so far at least) I am fortunate not to have had to resort to those husks! You poor poor things! Thought I'd just share with you my worst lighter life meal. In my first week I confused a thai chilli pack with a caramel one. The result was Thai Chilli Coffee! *vomit*

Well done Ali - truly fantastic!

I wasn't recommended the nut bar so haven't even tried one yet! And so far we have not had any peanut or cranberry ones at my class to be able to try :( The lemon is my fave and I like the toffee one made into biscuits :D My LLC mentioned that new bars are due out in February, i think...

No, I'll have more than one and they'll all be water! :D The person below is going to watch Alan Carr's new TV show tonight

TFI Friday! Cheer up you lot that are feeling down, you are achieving something wonderful by sticking to this plan and should be feeling really powerful that you have the courage and determination to say no to food and alcohol! I know I'm proud of the lot of you! I couldn't stay to class...

Hi sparkle I'm with Ali and dilute my packs more than 200mls. Wish I'd known to add more water on day one as I didn't like the flavour of every pack I tried and this was made worse by it being thick gloop! Thank God on day two I liked the flavours I tried and was brave enough to add more water...

Nope, only got my week 3 weigh in tonight, so haven't lost enough to warrnt shopping - YET! The person below fancies George Cloony

Hi Wobbly. Don't give up! You and I must have started the same week as it's my 21st day tomorrow and part of my reason for losing weight is to get fit and healthy to try and conceive. If you aren't feeling great on the program and can't find a reason why or a solution, I guess it's down to...

Hi Ali - and thanks! Guess I had better get posting then!:thankyou:

Hello all - great to see all of your fgorgeous faces and your achievements so far! Keep up the good work! Can't find where/how to upload my picture though? (And having just seen all you stunners am not sure I want to now!!) Can anyone help? I also don't know how to upload an avatar, it...

Hi all, just about still Saturday, I think! Just thought I'd share my thoughts for today - my eighth day - drinking pints of water somehow makes it easier to drink all that we're supposed to - haven't had to force myself to drink at all. I was struggling to eat my packs today as haven't fely...

Hi, I'm Anita and this is my 6th day on LL. I felt really tired and low on day 4 but otherwise have felt really well, but ocassionally hungry! I had my 1st pop in yesterday and had lost 8lbs - such a motivation boost! I want to lose around 5 stone in total and after reading all your...
