Honk for Day 11!! :)

Hi there Hunca. Welcome and good luck! I'm sure you'll be great. :)

Hi there. Been a member for ages. Lurking mainly. Am now on Day 2 and find the day times ok but come 5pm it's a real struggle. All to do with thoughts rather than actual hunger. Am totally focused and enjoying seeing how everyone else is doing! Good luck everyone. :)

I had choc mint today for the first time today and it was lovely!,,,,

Thanks guys that's really helpful. I'm not a big fish fan but do like smoked salmon so it's a change to chicken every now and again. Have a great day :)

Sorry that should read options!

Hi All Find myself up at the most ridiculous hour so don't expect a reply for a while :) Is there a list somewhere about what fish is allowed for the protein? I was wondering if smoked salmon was allowed. Thanks.

Hey there. Something similar here. I did my measurements this morning and it's depressing seeing how over the last couple of years the inches have crept back on. You can do this. I'm at the closing stages of day 1 and so far feel ok. My big problem is wanting food even though I'm not actually...

My new me starts tomorrow too. Good luck everyone :)

Hi all I'm on day 2 today. Trying to keep busy and drink lots of water. Lots of cravings today so think it will be early to bed. Glad to have the company guys. How is everyone else?

Thanks one and all x

Hi everyone. Just making it to the end of day 3 and was thinking about cooking some chicken. Are we allowed to use a couple of squirts of fry light??? Thanks for any thoughts. Good luck all x

Thanks all. I had it and it was ok. Enjoyed it au natural!!!

Just about to try the spaghetti bolognese for the first time. Any advice on how to make it up?? Are all herbs allowed? Real Garlic? Last taster pack before taking the plunge. Eek. All advice gratefully received.

Hi everyone. New here. Just wondered if anyone knew how similar the shakes and bars are in calories etc to the lighter life ones?? Thanks. Hope everyone is having a great day!!

Hey JuJu congrats on the weightloss and the date. I've been away for a while on a trip but am still hoping for positive things come Wednesday-fingers crossed. Best of luck for the onward journey! :)

Hey Juju please don't worry. If you keep 100% you will lose weight. I've stopped posting weight loss as lots Of other people were doing so much better than me and it was depressing. I've kept to the stone per month the plan loses but have accepted that people lose at different rates. Sometimes...

Please don't change the chocolate it's all I'm eating at the moment!!!!!!

Congratulations!! That's a fantastic loss. I'm so pleased for you. Keep up the good work!! :)

Hi juju I've left you a message. Can you see it ? Not sure as it's the first time I've tried it lol :)

Hi All Just to say that I lost a grand total of 3 pounds at weigh in on Wednesday which is not quite my 14 pound target but 10 is still pretty good. Would like to set the 14 pound target again for August as it's a full month for me I hope to make it! Hope everyone is going well too!! X

Hey Masi welcome on board! Don't worry too much as I'm sure lots of people will reply. I'm on my second time with LL as I didn't do rtm last time so returned to old eating patterns. I had strawberry and chocolate shakes and had lemon bars for most of my 4 stone loss. There was another bar a bit...

Well done MissL. Fab loss. Can anyone change my loss for me please? Down 7. Well done BL amaazing loss. Keep you going through the tough times xx

Hey badlamone diet ok. Not feeling hungry but boy do I have bad thoughts about food still in the evenings. Only thing that's keeping ne going at the moment st those times is sheer will power. I cannot wait for these thoughts to settle down. The cbt done in class is really good and I know know...

Only the lonely-Roy Orbison?

Much appreciated MissL. Send him our love xx

Sorry Andy no idea. I've bought the lighter life one and if it's something I like I'll ask in my group and look at ingredients. If in doubt ask your llc. Sorry not to be more helpful. Hope yr journey is going well :)

We've missed you :)

Morning BL and all other July starters. I'm currently on day 6 and so far doing ok-not getting complacent though! My real problem is the stupid thoughts I keep having about food and how tempted I am to cave in. First weigh in is Wednesday evening so fiingers crossed. Good luck for tonight BL I'm...

Zumba good but totally knackered me! Good tunes though x

I am an incarnation of Imelda Marcos. Love those shoes soooo much. They are what are known as taxi shoes BL. You need to arrive and leave in one and not walk anywhere but just stand and look gorgeous!! I think we're all on our way there xxx

Well done on recommitting!! You can do it xx

Best of luck for tomorrow Matt x

Really inspiring stuff!!!! Well done xx

Hey well done Dale congratulations!!!!! USA lighter here you come. Keep it up!!! X

I'm not sure Boris. I think it takes 3 or 4 days so maybe by Sunday although I did read someone's wise words on here saying that proper ketosis is in full swing by a couple of weeks but we start losing weight much earlier. I'm a day by day girl though so as long as I make it through today I'll...

Ok so far. No headaches or other side effects and I haven't felt hungry but oh boy do I suffer from emotional eating urges! Today was tough round late afternoon but I looked at a dress in a window I'd love to get into and pictured myself in it. It worked well enough to get me home!! I bet you're...

BL music is such an emotive aspect of life. There will come a time when the music will lift you again. Happy thoughts xx:)

Bless and there's me taking it down to childish levels!! Love that album BL brings back great memories. :)

Quality of life

Very good advice BL and Lady T! Wise words indeed. MissLouise my name is from the Wombles. Remember Orinoco? Fat round lovely but always looking for a rest? That's me but... no more! Make sense now? Bit too much to handle in posts though so I'm not bothered if it gets shortened. I've had a...

Exciting encounters

Sounds hilarious! I had to buy one I think-need to work out costs as I had to do a whole month payment and also bought mousse and drink flavour. It's much better though because it now has a metal ball inside to get rid of lumps. I used it yesterday and it was brilliant- small things I know...

Go Matt! Xx

Sounds like a plan. I've taken similar photos but am not as brave as you x

Wouldn't ever say that about you but have to say mine is in that area!!

Brave man! Whilst not wishing to be competitive and I'm certainly not offering proof I think mine is worse!! :)

Hi Chantal Weighed measured and things explained. Make good use of your group and counsellor as they are the keys to success - as well as your mindset as well. Have a look back at some of the threads on here too I've found them really useful. I'm a returner but when I began there were DVDs so...

Thanks BL. Actually doing ok today MissLouise Had a haircut and then my first ll class where I did some really good planning for how I'm going to achieve this new me! Really helpful way to end the day. How have you been!!!

Way to go Rich. You'll do it I'm sure :)

Ok having started packs today I feel I can commit to an August target. I'm going to try and lose 14 pounds by August the 1st. Can you add me to the list please? Hope everyone is having a fab day x:)

Uruguay

Padua

Welcome on board Andy. Positive thinking :)

I agree with the treats and how the diet takes over your life and I think it should! Where I have come unstuck in the past is because I didn't put myself and my needs first in my life. This is so important for me so if I want to succeed it has to come first! Treats start tomorrow with a haircut...

Hey Matt I used to live in Liverpool but moved to the east 11 years ago.(not a real scouse though) Still feels like home though when I come over the end of the 62 to Edge Lane!!! You'll be great. I visited my counsellor picked up my packs and am ready to grab my new life with both hands! Have a...

Way to go! Well done :)

Best of luck! I'm sure you will see great results! Off to collect my first packs so I can start on Wednesday. Yeah!!!

Ozzy Osbourne

Nothing feels like fulfilling a goal even a short term one! Go BL :)

White wine

Hi Boris it's the lighter life counsellor Im going to see tomorrow. I'm starrting Wednesday on the packs as Im in London for the day on Tuesday. My first proper class is Wednesday evening. Hope you're planning to have fun today!!

Total wine freak. Gin too but been good on both. Pampered myself today and got nails at both ends done so didn't miss the carbs. Water intake upped but still not enough. Likely to be a bad day tomorrow as it's last chance before seeing counsellor on Monday. LL starts Wednesday for me! Any plans...

Sounds like a plan! I'm all lovely having had my hands and feet painted and scrubbed. Ahh. Better than food! Hope everyone else has had fun x

Yea! How are your preparations going Boris? :)

Totally!!! :)

Dolly mixtures

You know it works so try and be positive and believe in yourself. You can do it and everyone on here will help you on your way! Have a great 100% day:)

Hey Cerulean. Is that with Kate Smith? Great journey. Inspiration from others is always a positive way to start the day! Congratulations :)

Morning BL sounds like a busy one. Im off to a friends art show and then who knows. I think maybe some retail therapy! Enjoy your day xx

Lol Reading these posts guys. Very funny! :)

Hey Dale America sounds like a great goal to aim for. Sounds like you will have lots of fun! New York is fab. I'm sure you'll work hard and look amazing for the trip. Good luck! :)

Boris you sound like you are ready to rumble!! Go get 'em tiger!! :)

Everything in the right direction is something to be celebrated Onefineday x you will get there. Keep being strong! :)

I got my practice nurse to sign mine! They had heard about the diet were really curious and really behind me! I think they were more in touch with my issues than a doctor-I rarely see mine but see the nurses regularly! Also tip for blood pressure checks some pharmacies do them on a drop in...

We knew what you meant Boris! Us Julyans are obviously in sync :) I had two emails from my counsellor today preparing me for next week. Really made me think about why I am doing this! BL-what a star! Lots of great advice x

Hello Dale welcome on board! I am sure that you will take strength from all the good advice you will get on here. We're all in this together. Positive thoughts you will get through this. Best of luck!

Thanks so much Blondelogic. That makes so much sense. I'll try that too. Water on board and decided no more alcohol from today. Trying no carbs from the weekend. Here I go! :)

Thanks for those tips! I think today will be the first day of my countdown preparation. More water no carbs and loo finding! Mental preparation is going to include lots of 'I can do's!!'. Have a great day everyone and keep those goals in mind x:)

Hi Boris and Misslouise good thinking about the carbs. First packs next Wednesday so cutting down this week would be good! Any more pre diet tips to male those first few days easier??

Hey Im sure today is going to be the start of something amazing. Good on you for sharing. Borris may do diary if I think I have something to say! Good luck one and all xx

Hey Borris best of luck! Let me know how you get on!

Hi everyone. New on here but just wanted to say hello. I'm a July starter too. I'll be returning on July 13th so good luck to everyone who's already started.
