Thanks Lindam:) - but if I can't lose weight when i do stick to it what hope is there for me when i don't?:confused::mad::eek:. You're right though, back on it tomorrow and see how I go:)

Well, after sticking to it 100% again I gained 0.5 again! So gutted and now I've binged on chocolate to make matters even worse:mad: Week 1 +0.5 Week 2 -3.5 Week 3 +0.5

Gutted! Week one gained half a pound, Week 2 lost 3.5 pounds, Week 3 gained half a pound. Have stuck to it religiously. And then because I was so hacked off I ate 2 (yes 2!!) big bars of green and blacks butterscotch chocolate so i will have made matters even worse, So annoyed!!!!!:mad:

I got this from the Ryvita Website: MATURE CHEDDAR & ONION | CREAM CHEESE & CHIVE | WORCESTER SAUCE | SWEET CHILLI | SALT & VINEGAR | THAI RYVITA MINIS New Ryvita Minis are delicious miniature rye snacks available in six mouth-watering flavours. They offer the taste of a high fat snack but...

Yes, any variety, 30gm bag:)

Don't know if it's me being weird but just now, I boiled up half a mug of pudding rice and 2 dessert spoons of canderel in one pint of water. Intended to add vanilla muller light when it was cool but have eaten half of it already as is and thought it was delicious!

Sure does!:)

Hi My weigh in was at 1pm and I lost 3.5pounds! (a bit of an improvement on my first week weigh in last week when I put on half a pound!!)

Today was my 2nd week weigh-in and, after the disappointment of Ggaining 0.5 pound in my first week, pleased to report that my second week weight in showed a 3.5 loss! Yay!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!! Well done SkinnyMalink!:cool:

A Time Share - how fab! We're lagging behind as our next trip will only be our 5th! I know what you mean about feeling slimmer there! Maybe that's the answer - move to the USA!

Yes, good spot!, it is Discovery Cove! I take it you've been as you recognized it! We love Florida, in fact we've just booked our flights for Easter next year! Can't wait, even though it's 10 months away - maybe I'll have managed to lose half a stone by then:)

Thanks United. I'm afraid I haven't been very good tonight because I was hacked off because I hadn't lost which I know is really stupid because now I've made the situation worse! Well, tomorrow is another day and I'll get back on track. Really cross with myself though.

Thanks Miss Tango - fingers crossed for next week. How did you do?

Hi My class is 1pm on Thursdays. Tragically:cry:, despite following the plan to the letter, my first week weigh in today showed me to have put on half a pound! Shall stick with it and see what happens next week:sigh:

Boo Hoo:cry: My first weigh in and, despite sticking with it to the letter and despite being told I could have 15 syns a day but only having between 5 and 10 a day, I put on 0.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad::eek::(:tear_drop: Heigh Ho, will give it another week and see how I go:sigh:

Fantastic:):D;):cool:!!!!! You must feel really good about that! I'll let you know how I do but not expecting it to be as good as you!

Hi United-Trekkie You've done well! What day do you go to your SW Class? Mine is a lunchtime one on a Thursday so I haven't long to wait:)

Thanks for your replies! Hopefully having a red day today will make the scales look better tomorrow! Have just tried my first (free!!!!) Morrisons low fat sausages and they are really nice!

Weighed this morning and my weight has actually gone up:eek::cry::(:mad:! I'm putting it down to having had a green day yesterday but not happy! I will get the definitive answer tomorrow at the official weigh-in I guess.

It's hard not to isn't it! I do believe generally it is better to weigh too much than not at all as I know that the times I do stop weighing there is a very good reason for and it - it means I definitely won't like what I see and the longer I leave it usually means the more weight I've put...

Hello again Well, survived the weekend. Followed the plan perfectly but still can't get away from that feeling that I'm eating too much! - I must stop weighing everyday as the weight doesn't seem to be moving much at all - that's the trouble with having done VLCDs, you get used to seeing the...

Thank you everyone for all your replies!:) Seem to have survived day one but feel as though I've eaten far too much! Green day tomorrow!

Hi 3 years ago I started Lighter Life and lost over 8 stone in 6 months. Since then I have put on about 4 stone of it and 'dabbled' here and there with LL again but I have decided I can't face a summer of abstinence so yesterday I joined Slimming World! When I did LL I found these forums...

Hi Greavsie Been a bit slack so only just seen your reply! I couldn't go to my group on Wednesday so I went for a pop in on Monday instead and had only lost 1.5 pounds but it was on;y 5 days so not too despondent but I really feel I need a big one!!!!!! How's it going for you?

Hi Greavsie Thanks for your post and good luck with CD:) I lost 3 pounds last night, a bit better but not what I'd hoped for really. Here's hoping for a good pne next week!!!

Hi Amanda Jay.ne Hope you had a great time in Greece! You're right, I know from my previous time on LL that the weight will come off and it all averages out, I'm drinking about 6 litres a day which is quite hard going in this cold weather - I do use the flavours and sometimes have sparkling...

A disappointing 1.9 pounds - surely I must be heading for a huge loss next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drama

A slightly disappointing 2.6 pounds off this week. One of our group had a massive falling off of th wagon and only lost a pound less than me! I know, I know, it will even out - maybe a 4 pound loss next week? Heigh Ho:)

Hi Amanda Jayne Greece sounds fab - your half term is early isn't it? Ours break up on the 19th. I expect you'll get some much needed sunshine in Greece! I think 'natural eaters' (slim people!) do exactly what you said and that way stay pretty much steady. I have a friend who swears by...

Hi Amanda Jayne Thanks for your reply. "Have you been working on getting your head in the right place? It makes the whole thing a lot easier, doesn't it?" Always thinking about it - quite concerned that with 3 'big' hols coming up - Florida for 10 days over Christmas, 3 nights in New York...

Lost 4.8 pounds at this week's weigh in - that's more like it! Have now lost 1 stone 8 pounds. I am definitely finding it harder second time around. Must remember that thought when I've lost the weight again, maybe It will help me keep it off this time!

Hi Dancing Congratulations on chosing LL - I may not make it look like the answer but I do truly believe it is - I'm just taking the long way round! I can tell you about my experience but of course everybody is different as you will see from this forum. Apologies if I ramble and feel free to...

Yesterday was a toughy - went to a lovely party with the most fabulous home made food, chocolate fountain etc Stuck with the plan but did feel deprived! Still I guess a pat on the back for sticking with it! OH away for a few days now so just me and the kids so going to the cinema later -...

Only lost 2.4 at my weigh in which was a little disappointing but of course , from past experience, I know that if I stick with it the pounds will come off so will try not to be too glum:cry::)

Well, Day 23 and another weekend almost over - the some reason I found this wekend tough but still stuck with it:)

Knife

3 lbs in 6 months sounds fab to me! You can gain 3lb in a day (well I can!) so I think you must have paid some attention to the CBT and TA! I'm hopeful that this time I will have learnt a bit more and maybe won't let things get so out of hand again! have a nice weekend:)

Hi Sarah Well done with only 3 pounds on - how long was that over? Is the 4 week one stone unplanned abstinence an official LL thing or just what your LL counsellor suggests? I am going to stop abstinence before I reach my target weight a I am going to Florida for Christmas and my family...

Last night's weigh in 3.7 off! :) Total lost 1 stone 1 pounds (since 1st September)Thank goodness for LL:)

Thanks Amanda Jayne - yes, the Milk situation was introduced in April apparently so it was all new to me. Might take your advice about a thread but will do a 'search' first as I'm sure it must get a mention somewhere.

Hi I restarted 2nd September - Day 16! Previously lost 8 and a half stone (May 2005 to November 2005) and had a circumferential body lift (March 2006) but failed to learn enough lessons and have gained all but about 2 or 3 stone. Pleased that I have managed 16 days of complete abstinence...

Another weekend and I survived! Just thinking about the new thing my LL counseller mentioned on Wednesday - milk:eek: She said that on week 12 now you have to introduce extra calories in the form of milk:eek: Yuk :eek: As I had been planning on starting management after the 100 days anyway...

Well, have managed 2 weeks and I am soooooooo pleased! It's a drop in the ocean but I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to it at all so feel really good:)

Thanks AmandaJayne Have a good weekend:)

Have found your pics - wow AmandaJayne you look different! Well done and all the luck in the world at keeping the weight off! How long have you been at your goal weight? (I'm sure if I wasn't so lazy I could hunt that information down !).

"Sometimes I think that it would be much simpler to stay on LL and keep food out of the equation! Sigh, it was all so simple then!" Hi Amanda Jayne You're so right! If I'd only stayed on LL I wouldn't have been where I am now! I might be about 3 stone though so maybe not! I was always...

Hi Amanda Jayne I would like to lose 5 or 6 stone but my aim is for 4 stone in 100 days & then I am off to Florida for Christmas so will take a view after that. Having lost 8 and a half stone before I'm not confident that I would be able to maintain the weight I got to so I'm not really sure...

I agree, DON't EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will really kick yourself afterwards - You will feel so pleased with yourself if you manage to abstain and the weightloss will be all the better.

Monday and day 9 and it's all going rather smoothly! have had about 5 or 6 litres of water and have just had my 4th pack in the form of chicken crisps:) Still feeling positive and motivated so hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):)

Well, yesterday went without a hitch. In the evening went to see 'knocked up' at the cinema:D took a bag of thai chilli crisps and (big mistake) a peanut bar. I usually only have these bars crumbled into a paste made from a choolate shake. I on;y ate 3 quarters of it which is most unusual for...

Went to my Group last night. 2 new people, one who had never done it before - felt a bit sorry for her as everyone else has done it before - hope that didn't put her off! One person didn't show up but as she had paid 4 weeks in advance (we all had to!), I can't imagine she won't be back...

Thanks Mandy:)

Well, day 2 went without a hitch despite having to prepare and participate in a picnic - I love picnics!!!:(:sigh::D. No headache or feeling poorly, just hunger pangs!!!!! Day 3 not quite over yet but nearly 7pm and 2 packs still to have, still getting hunger pangs but hopefully that will...

Well, here it is Day 1 of Lighterlife, the Sequel! It's nearly 4 o'clock and I have had one pack and 2 and a half litres of water. Had a 4 and half hour journey back from Wales which made it easier not to have any packs (not so easy to drink the water!) - I like to leave them as long as...

Thanks Cheb! I'm sure to have too many carbs but I'm willing to take my punishment:)

Went to my first new group meeting. There were 6 of us & all but one had done LL before to varying extents. I have had a rethink and although I said I would start Monday, I have decided that I can actually begin on Sunday. My weigh in (allbeit with clothes on and after a biggish meal) was...

Thank you! p.s.What's with the star thing?:confused:

Well after my fantastic journey over 6 months and losing 8 and a half stone and having a tummy tuck, I let myself down and have regained quite a bit of weight. Will find out just how much tonight as I haven't dared weigh myself in at least 6 weeks (I'm guessing about 15 and a half stone???? I...

Thanks Geri - I remember you! My husband is going back to Heather on Sunday although he only needs to lose about a stone and a bit he's done fantastically well in keeping it off - just wants to make sure he 'nips it in the bud'. I think I 'm going to start my own diary thread (I presume that's...

Just had a call from LL counsellor and class starting tonight! Going away this weekend for M&D's 50th anniversary so I will attend meeting tonight but start the LL on Monday so it bit sooner than I thought which is good.

Hi Everyone Thought I would reacquaint myself with the LL Forums as I am starting back on LL either on 5th or 12th September for my sins! Waiting to hear the date of new class but may start on the 5th anyway with some old packs as I am going to Florida for Christmas on 21st December so time...
