    The chicken or ham wont take you out of ketosis, but the nibbling will reduce your weight loss. It might help to nibble occasionally, as I know you get hungry, but its hard to measure 'nibbles'.

    Your councellor will guide you through it all, be it CD or LL. I am no expert but i believe Lighter life does counselling or helps you deal with some issues you have. Look on the lighter life forum here and you will pick up more info from there.

    Anyone use fibre89?

    That fibre 89 is WICKED!! Guaranteed Dutch Oven for OH every night. Add to that the daily CD bar (or 2 if he peed me off) and the effectes were prretty dramatic. Had to omit the fibre 89 for social reasons.

    Great post Claire! Just getting my head around my STS and an almost definate regain this week cos my chops just won't stop chopping!

    The thread with no title?

    I think this is me.......STS now for 3 weeks. This last week is totally my fault. If I had lost 2lb I might have felt differently. Listening to Dancings posts, and others I realise I'm not alone and we all seem to go through passages like this, but when you go through yourself it feels like...

    tales of a 2 bar nightmare!!

    It's MONDAY ***HOUR BY HOUR***

    Well I guess I'm just and early birdy! Off into town again today, to do a couple of returns for misbought purchases. In the cold light of the bedroom mirror cruel reality strikes, and they have to go back! Going to the hospital later for the official results from my boob lump, even though...

    Minilady's Diary... getting back on track

    only 8lbs gain nearly a year after losing alot isn't o bad! Infact Its a great achievement, especially that you have realised it and can reign it all back in. Its the acknowledgement of it, and then the doing something about it that counts! Well done.:D

    Thanks for that Georgie, I will look here as I can get opi locally. Inglot it seems is only available at the Bluewater centre for now. Shame cos I have found some great reviews for it!! I will look when I go to the States at the end of may. Mind you it is Texas and they are pretty behind...

    Have clothes sizes got smaller?

    I found an m&s suit from the attic that was a size 14. I weighed 101/2 st then, just after my hysterectomy, and it was quite roomy as I was post op. Tried it on last week and it fits like a second skin|!!! I'm 11st now!

    is it bad to offer big clothes to bigger friends?

    when I lost loads of weight on LT before, it was so obvious that my larger friend was larger than me now, that I just offered her the chance of a ferret through before they went to charity. She was really chuffed. I should have kept them.......I gained it back when a crisis hit and had to buy...

    So glad you are back Claire. :D Wish I had done the alcohol thing, cos that is my downfall. Alcohol and cream and I am in heaven.
