Christmas last year was my massive downfall ! I didn't even eat the Christmas Lunch, I just faffed around in the kitchen pretending to be super busy. But then, after everyone was finished, I started to nibble and didn't stop, continued right through to New Year. Found it so terribly hard to get...

Hello - no I don't measure - at least not with a tape measure ! : ) I can only ever find a metal one anyway. I just have certain clothes , new bits and old faves that either fit or don't. I have a pair of size 14 jeans from Edun that WILL fit me one day (wearing magic/miracle knickers ) xx

will keep eyes peeled for a sale price then - always been wary of glass scales ( thought I might break them ...) ha ha

well done !:)

Hello lovely people What scales do you recommend ??? Need stones/pounds ( rubbish with kilos ;) ! ) just some digital scales that don't shout your BMI. I bought some really nice Dualit scales a couple of years ago - but they are such liars - very flattering though ! xxx

I'm not sure if it's the same as LLL ! It probably is -but it's bound to be a wee bit cheaper : ) x

My conclusion is ... drum roll !!! CD ... by a mile ! I know everyone is different, but I actually feel OK on SS+ - that little bit of protein and something green and alive makes all the difference in the world to me. I don't feel quite so deranged and light headed :argh: So thank heavens...

Hi Judith - I would be too self conscious to weigh myself at Boots !!! My Cambridge Man will weigh me - I just left it ten days and I think I will continue to do it like that. Weigh in will be Friday ! I would love some really accurate scales if there is such a thing. Any recommendations...

My theory is - potentially a bigger loss. Has anyone else done this ?? :) Can't use my scales at home - they have a mind of their own ! xxx

tummy really rumbling .... can't quite understand what it's saying ?? :gen125:

I have found whilst on LL or CD, I simply don't have much extra energy - so lovely long walks become kind of tricky. : /

Have thought about this a few times ... can anyone add to a list ? The Memory Of Running by Ron McLarty Thinner by Stephen King Ghost Children by Sue Townsend :confused:

Thanks ladies - am now a CD-er , nibbling my bits of protein - I totally agree I couldn't continue LL-ing without it ! Good Luck to all xxxxx

First day ok thanks ! Will need to swap that Maple and Pecan Porridge - It's not going in very easily :rolleyes: !! Keep going xx

Oddsock - your profile pic is the greatest !!! I had The Book Thief on an audio book on a crazy trip round Europe last summer ,even think of an accordion now without welling up ... Am bursting to read Jeanette Winterson's new one, Mrs Winterson. Then again, I would read Jeanette Winterson's...

Hope you feel better soon - I started CD today also ! xx

I bought Porridge and Porridge only ! it was fine :) Not that struck by the Maple and Pecan one ( tasted a bit err Cabbage-ish ?!!!?? ) The Apple and Cinnamon flavour was delicious ! I like the CD approach so far ... the web blurb and the little book. xxx

Thanks for that - will mix it good and thick then ! Well done on your losses : ) xx

I have to laugh ! :o Starting CD tomorrow - have two more LL foodpacks left. So, my most important question is what is the porridge like !??? I have always been a LL porridge person - is it similar ? XXX Kate

If you added 130g of Tuna in springwater to LLT ? Well, I guess it wouldn't BE LLT ! If that was the thing that got you through the day and allowed continued weight loss. Maybe not every day. Any thoughts ? :confused: xxx

thanks ladies : ) xx

Okay so I went on holiday and I ate ... and ate quite a bit actually. Than I convinced myself I would go to SW because of this glitch :rolleyes: But I don't want to go to food - my relationship with it is bonkers enough and obviously unresolved ! So back on LL - hurrah. Have the ketosis...

Hi Kay - yes I just can't cope with the side effects of LL - the only one I like is the weight loss ! Is your suggestion using the Green Plan ? x

Hi there ... a group would be good in an ideal world, maybe online ? : )

Hello SWers ! I have jumped over from LL in need of vegetables and baked potatoes to sustain me - soooooo cold and have no spare energy at all. I'm trying to get to grips with a Green Plan, but a little bit confused as how to fit in porridge tuna and baked beans. Is it possible ...

Thanks ladies ... I'm off on hols with a massive bag of foodpacks, so I'm hoping for a beast of a loss next time . : ) xxx

Oooooh GRRRRRR (steam coming out of head !!!:(:(:confused:) ... how on earth have you all managed when the scales haven't budged ? x

Keep going ! get back on the horse and be strong. Don't punish yourself x

I like the sound of that ! xx

Hi Sandra - well done for continuing too ! : ) Was there much of a gap between now and when you started out originally ? It was Christmas Day last year when it all went to pot for me - not going through that again this year ! Am very determined and do not want to feel like I did at 10pm on...

Hello all you lovely people - well after spending the summer of eating enough to sustain at least five active adults, I return to LL. Not quite as huge as I was when I started last year,but not far off. :) Day 5 - not too bad - thank heavens for Chilli - I know some love it some hate it, but...

I think saving something from our rations (!) for the very end of the day really helps. Keep going y'all ! xxxxxxx

Hello lovely folk. Does everyone have a worst time of day ?? Have felt just a teensy bit sorry for myself a couple of times a day around 4 in the afternoon and 10 in the evening :sigh: Need to have harsh words with myself and break through it. Not sure about the Smints issue being ok...

Smints - never without them !

Hello - can't sing enough praises for Exante - much better than LL ! It's fantastic. If you feel it might be right for you , give it a try. Kate xxx

Ha ha !:) what a lovely stinky lot we are ! But we are all losing it, and that's what matters ! xxx

Hello lovely people Six days in ... no headaches ? no ahem , bathroom issues, no hunger. All is well I think. Mindset ? Erm, well I have been what I call "mouth hungry" ie drooling ! a few times. Not really a pretty sight ha ha. I'm on six teeny meals a day by dividing everything now in...

Hi there - just had my very first tomato and basil - ermm it wasn't out of this world, but a slug of tabasco and a few grinds of black pepper made it ok. If all else fails , I will just tell myself it's anti-fat medicine ! ; ) Warmed me up , I'm freeeeezing !

Morning ! Day three and there is even a bit of sun in the sky :) I'm finding the Exante shakes are delicious - much nicer than any other I have tried and as with the bars, ample enough to divide in half. Have a family meal to cook tonight, but feel pretty confident I can handle it - being...

Good Luck - you can do it ! x

Hello all - managed to get through today - I cut my bar in half as it seemed quite big ! Made 4 meals ( like LL ) instead of the 3. The mindset is there and I'm off. This sounds mad but I treated myself to a new mattress so I can sleep more soundly at night ! Lovely to see all this positivity -...

Fab list ! The teeth cleaning worked for me last time x

Hi all - should be delivered tomorrow so very excited now ! I will probably use Ketostix as these helped a lot last time - just the psychological boost of seeing evidence of your ketosis was fantastic. Have little chart ready to tick my progress - all very organised . Good luck all xxxxxxxxx : )

Hi Pencils - what do you like about Exante apart from an fab first week loss ! : )

Hello all. First post ! Apologies that my stats etc are not there - am still figuring out how to create profile. Am feeling very optimistic now having ordered from Exante. I am an ex LL-er who managed to regain 3 of the 4 stone I had lost by returning to bad eating habits - I guess I was...
