    How are you getting on Lea? I have exactly the same problem. Its so hard as a returner, never as easy as the first time around. I try to drink lots of water in the evening and keep myself busy. Housework, gardening, going out for a walk, anything I can find. And I keep in mind that food in...

    Jelliebabe's way to less Jelly more BABE!

    Hi JB, just a quick thought. Do you think you are trying to do too much? I now if I keep myself busy it keeps my mind off food, but then when I stop and relax I just want to eat. Maybe you should just slow down a little bit, try to get the balance right, and you might find it easier to stick to...

    My BMI is 29.26 and the CDC thinks I should try the add a meal programme. I don't want to do that because if I start eating "real" food I will want to eat all the time. So I think I will persevere with what I am doing. Maybe I will lose a lot more next week.

    Booby, did you ever do maintenance on LL? That, I think is my problem, because I like you am compulsive eater since being on LL. But I never did maintenance.

    Hungry again

    You shouldn't feel real hunger but it could be psychological hunger. Try filling up on water and try to keep occupied, even if its walking around the shops looking at clothes you will soon be able to buy. That helped me. Also if you are computer literate, you could keep a chart on excel. Its...

    IS IT NORMAL?

    Well done for being so strong as a xmas party! I've had to decline all social events because I would be easily persuaded to eat or drink. I'm only 4 lbs off my 3 stone target by xmas so don't want to ruin it. Still not sure whether I'm going to carry on or switch to Cambridge after the...

    Anybody changed from LL to CD after foundation?

    Thanks for that. Yes, it will be nice to save 34 pound per week.
  109. CheekyMare

    Anybody changed from LL to CD after foundation?

    Thanks for your input. So can anyone tell me what the cost is of CD, how many pack you have etc. Westhills, which programme did you go on when you changed over to CD? Was is SS, or 790? I'm still in two minds, but I think I will change over. 66 pounds a week is a lot of money!

    Anybody changed from LL to CD after foundation?

    Hi, I am coming to the end of LL foundation (3 weeks to go) and last night at group we were asked to consider what our plans were for the next stage. Cost is quite important to me so I am considering changing to CD; however, I am wary of doing so because this is the first time I have really...

    Missing food

    Yep, I feel like that too. I'm in week 9 at the moment and often feel desperate for real food. However, I am not going to mess this diet up and neither should you. I think about how I am going to feel once the foundation period is over and how gutted I would feel if I gave up now. When I...

    Yes, Roadmender had some good rock bands (I like rock too) but then it closed down for a while. Its open again I believe but I'm not sure what music they have. Soundhaus is a good place too and there are certainly lots of little bars around. Don't they have live bands at Chicagos? Not sure...

    Sick of ssing! Anyone else??

    I know what you mean. I really miss food but I know if I give in I will regret it. Keep with it, I think we started at about the same time. Try going round the shops and trying on clothes that you would never have got into before. Works for me!

    DAY 50 OF LIGHTERLIFE

    It goes so quickly doesn't it? I'm on day 51 and it only seems like yesterday when I sat in my first group meeting wondering how the heck I was going to stick to this diet. But hey I did it! We all did it! A big pat on the back for all of us!
  123. CheekyMare

    Mouth Ulcers anyone???

    Ouch! Hope you feel better soon. The massive boil I got on my back is still there but not painful any more, it just looks horrible! No passion for me then!

    Sooo Hungry!

    I'm back from work now and feeling much better. I've had three food packs and will have my fourth before I go to bed tonight. Whoa! I hope I never have that again, it was horrible! Many thanks for all your support.
  125. CheekyMare

    Sooo Hungry!

    I hope its not a bug, it doesn't feel like it. I'm going to have my other half of the soup in a minutes and then go to work. I'm going to be exposed to food all afternoon, but I will be strong and not touch anything. Thanks for good wishes.
  126. CheekyMare

    Sooo Hungry!

    Absolutely nothing. I have stuck to the diet ridgedly and not a single morsel of food has passed my lips. Only medication I have had is the asthma inhaler I have and I use that every day. I'm sitting here waiting for the hunger to go after consuming the soup but I still feel weird. Think I...

    People's reaction to me losing weight

    I can think of one particular woman who, every time I'd put on about 7lbs she would say "are you gaining weight?". She said this several times and I challenged her rudeness one day (she is, by the way, like a stick insect) and she said, "well, I tell it as it is" I have lost 24 lbs so far, in...

    Need some advice

    I would say, start when you come back. How much weight do you think you could lose before you go? And what difference would it make to your appearance? Not a lot I would guess. So have your holiday, its only two weeks away, and set the date when you come back to start the diet. Good luck.
