thanks... that makes me feel much better. Wish me luck :)

Hi I have finally given up on trying to do LL. I did foundation (100 days) from Feb but then left after that to have a break. I went back 2 weeks ago to do a 4 week refresher but just can't stick to it at all! The weekends are my downfall. Has anyone else moved from LL to WW? I am...

ok thanks :)

Hi there....does anyone have the Points values for Nando's? Especially that new creamy mash they do. Going there for dinner tonight and want to know what I should have. Thanks xxx

hello...wow you're looking great! I'm ok...currently doing a 4 weeks refresher as I have gained about 10lbs. Want to get that off but then I am joining WW. What are you doing currently? You look really slim you can't still be on LL surely? :)

Ok...I know Coke Zero isn't strictly allowed but does anyone drink it and get away with it...i.e doesn't affect them having good losses? :D

thanks xxx

thanks... are there any soups?

Hello all...it's been a while since I did the Cambridge diet...could someone be a honey and tell me all the falvours available pls xxx :D

p.s did you hear Alison from BB got busted! She has finally admitted she had a gastric band fitted.

Hi you're right Coleen did both... lost most of the weight on a VLCD then did the other to lose the rest. I also hear Anthony Worrel Thompson is on LL :D

Just to add...if you're sure you want one how about going for something like a butterfly... or a swan...both start off in life not at their full potential but end up truly beautiful.

hmmmmm...this is a tricky one. I am currently having a tattoo removed. So far it's taken 12 months of pain and lots of money to get rid of it and it's still there. I used to love it...in fact I have 7 tattoos but now I'm 31 I hate them all. Just be really sure you'll love it in 10 years...

god if that's fat then god knows what you'd think of me. If I looked like her I've be sooooo happy!

haha thanks Lemma :)

oops I mean weigh in...dozy tart!

Lost 4 lbs this week...really pleased after staying the same last week :D Hope everyone else is well :)

Hello... well firstly well done! :) You've done fab. I'm not sure but I dio agree with you. I am now on week 12 of foundation and I definitely went through different phases. In the beginning I was so driven and determined and lost 2 stone very quickly...then I guess I wasn't so desperate so...

I'll have a look at my measurements :D

thanks everyone :)

Hi everyone... well normally I post after weigh in but I have been sulking as I stayed the same even though I did not go off plan. I'm really fed up as I only have 3 weeks left after which I have decided to just follow my own helathy eating due to lots of social committments. I wanted to...

lol... well you just made me laugh! hahaha

thanks :) I am familiar with have WW works but with SW I'm not sure how you count things like alcohol. Is it easy to be able to fit this into the plan and still lose?

that sounds good :D

Hello all...I am currently doing LL and finish my 14 weeks foundation in just over 3 weeks. My initial plan was to go onto RTM (Route to Management) but since the Summer is nearly here and I have many social events I am considering doing either WW or SW. Has anyone here gone from Lighter Life...

Hello all...I am currently doing LL and finish my 14 weeks foundation in just over 3 weeks. My initial plan was to go onto RTM (Route to Management) but since the Summer is nearly here and I have many social events I am considering doing either WW or SW. Has anyone here gone from Lighter Life...

GORGEOUS :)

that's what friends are for!!!! Hope you're feeling better today :)

you look great well done!!!

well done Corey...I'll be starting RTM in less that 4 weeks...hope I do as well as you are doing.

ok so I have tried it with a chocolate foodpack and a little bit of powdered sweetner - I know you shouldn't have that but I only added a touch and it's even nicer than the vanilla. yay

JEALOUSY! Just ignore it...I've seen the pictures and you look fab :)

haha confusing eh!

Paul McKenna uses this technique when he hypnotises people. :)

Good for you girlie :)

yes and we'll all be gorgeous :D

oh :(

Kaalin I bet it's lovely with banana or strawberry too :)

thanks :D

wow...well done xxx

5lbs lighter :D Yippee

Can't believe I'm off to my week 10 weigh in!!! It seems to be going quickly now, only 4 weeks left till RTM :D I have looked as my past threads and it's funny how we go through different emotions, strong times and time where we want to give up. I definitely have to say this forum has...

put lots of ice cubs into a plastic mixing bowl, add some water, not too much then use a hand whisk until you have the consistancy of ice cream...then add the pack. I tried adding the pack to ice with disasterous results but if you get the ice/water mixed and crushed then add it it's fab :D

I've never done it before but it was lovely! :D :D :D :D

Just made vanilla ice cream....I'm in heaven :)

oh...ok thnks bubble ...at least I haven't killed it.

hmmmm...bugger

does your Wii light up even when you've switched it off? The blue light is pulsing even though I switched it off. Is this normal?

hmmmm strange...it's had a positive effect on mine. Maybe as I am feeling more attractive?

well done you... :) Keep doing what you are doing and you'll get to goal in no time.

I can hardly walk!!! I've used my Wii Fit for about 4 hours, maybe more this weekend. I ache all over! The weird thing is it doesn't feel like exercise at all. I really didn't think it would affect me since I work out with a personal trainer twice a week but it's certainly worked something I...

Hi I will be going onto RTM in just over 4 weeks but I'll go in for 14lbs toller-girl - 14bs mrspnut - 28lbs Corey - 14lbs Donnalou86 - 14lbs Bexnkev - 20lbs vickiabd - 14lbs Lemma - 10lbs PositiveBetty - 14lbs

oh dear... they did suggest putting it on a yoga mat in the shop.

how long is the advanced step?

hmmm wonder when I will get the advanced step. I am aching all over today from playing on it yesterday for over 2hrs! Also been on it today ouch

thanks Lisa

haha Corey..yeah I love that one too! :D

Hello all...hope you're having a good weekend so far :) I managed to get my hands on a Wii Fit today and so far I love it! Can anyone tell me if the games get harder? I really like the step one but it's cal;led step basics and the routine is easy and quite short. I haven't got the hand of...

Hello...I am on LL and I asked my LLC this question as I feel I really need a decent cup of tea with milk but she said it will knock you out of ketosis. I have to say I have felt a little more hungry since I've been having milk so I'm going to bite the bullett and give it up till the end of...

WOW WOW WOW....you look absolutely great! Well done :D :D :D

thanks Katie...so are you. I didn't make the May day challenge... boo.

3lbs off :) Only 5 weeks left in Foundation :)

lol...well I am considering it but it depends if I can find a really good counsellor.

Hello...you are allowed tablet sweetner not powdered :)

Hello I am now toying with the idea of moving over to Cambridge following the replies from my earlier thread but would want someone to recommend a good counsellor. Does anyone know a good one in the Reading area? I know I can find a cousellor on the website but I always think it's a good...

thanks all :)

hmmmm...this is a bit gross but people have up to 10lb of impacted faeces in their bowell. I guess that might be some of what is being loosened and released. lol

well I did consider it but I really feel I need the discipline of the counselling although I'm not sure I rate it that highly in my group. I want to see through the 14 weeks on LL.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, I suspect you are suffering from low blood presure. One of the great side effects of this diet is that it does lower your blood pressure - as most of us know when you're overweight blood pressure is normally high. The problem is that as you get nearer to...

Hello... I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm on LL and have been following the plan for nearly 9 weeks. I have 5 weeks left of foundation but after a couple of lapses I am sturggling to not have some small slip ups. You are not allowed an AAMW on LL but I was wondering if I did add a meal in...

Hello I'm on LL but I buy the mix a mousse. You get a scoop inside the tub and you need 1 scoop per mousse. I'd say you'd get about 12 maybe more out of it. It's lovely... I've just had one now :D

not allowed? Says who? I don't think LL would like it as it takes business away from them but ebay wont care. Go for it...it's not as if LL haven't had lots of money from you :D If I have any left which I probably will as I already have a fair collection I will put mine on there.

Claire Have you seen how much people pay for them on ebay! I'd sell them on there...will give you some dosh to buy stuff for your new place :)

Hello :) I'm ok and still here. I have given myself a sharp kick after staying the same on tuesday and am pleased to say there have been no slips ups. I know it's only Thursday but for to not have anything I shouldn't since weigh in is a great thing for me! How are you getting on?

Hi Claire...great news about the house...my place is a new build and my friend also bought one last year...let me tell you they are never completed on time. Mine was about 6 weeks late and my friends was 10 weeks late! Chances are you'll be well finished by then :) I also agree with what...

Well I stayed the same this week so was a lucky girl as many of you know I completely went off the rails this week. I need to knuckle down now for the last 6 weeks. Do you think it's possible to lose my 23lbs to get to goal by then?

sounds familiar! I also tried to do that but in the was refused. What I ended up doing was buying a 2 bedroom place and rented a room out for 6 months. You really do grow into a mortgage and you manage even though you think you wont. Do you know anyone who would rent off you?

oh thanks Tange.... I must remember that one "If I always do what I always did I am always going to get what I always got" I like that, it's so true! :)

Thanks Debz... fingers crossed the damage isn't too bad.

hi Thai... have you had a good week? I can't believe I have got so weak!

I don't think even I can get away without a gain my weigh in is on tuesday! I can't recover in two days can I?

Oh can anyone help me?! I feel beyond help and have fallen off LL completely this week. I have been picking continuously this week which then led to a cheese sandwich and some fruit loaf yesterday followed by chocolate digestives and now a small dominos pizza and chicken strippers! I am so...

well done Kellie :)

Well done... you are doing so well :D

oh thanks all.... you know the support on here is so good it really helps to keep motivated :D

Hi all well please that I am now halfway through Foundation :D Lost 5lbs tonight so I am a happy bunny. Yippee

thanks for the replies everyone :)

Hello... can you choose when you go to RTM? If your chosen weight still put you in the overweight category BMI wise but you want to remain at that weight will they allow you into management? Once I get to my goal I will have a BMI of 27 but that is fine by me.... anyone know?

Hello not sure if it's the same laser but I am having permanent hair removal on me bikini line. I have only had one session so far but can already see a massive reduction in hair. I have another 7 sessions spread 1 month apart.

Well done kellie... you've done so well and just think how fabulous you'll feel this summer :)

Well done you have done so well and look amazing. :D

well done hunny...looking good :D

send me her address I'll go and sort her out for you!!! Seriously though that is a disgrace and if I were you I would report her to HR.

well done :) We asked to have a sneak at our before pics this week but she wouldn't let us.

good luck Lola... thanks everyone hope you're doing well too :D

Hello...I am doing LL but did CD a couple of years ago and I always had the Tesco cottage cheese with chives and it didn't affect my loss. Good luck :D

thanks all :D

wow you have done some amazingly well... hope you're very proud.

Thai I am getting ahead of myself..i thought we were on week 7 last week...think the lack of chocolate is going to my head! doh. See you next week x

oops I messed up...I meant week 6 weigh in...doh!!!

Had my weigh in tonight... 2lbs off :eek:

yes they said the first one is normally high- white coat syndrome... because you know you're having it taken. The dizzy spells are definintely a ide effect of low blood pressure...you should keep an eye on it as it can be as dangerous as high blood pressure.

it is quite low...one of the side effects of the diet is that it can make your bloody pressure very low. As long as you are not getting dizzy spells though I'm sure it's fine.

I had mine done yesterday, the reading were as follows: 1st reading 134/92 2nd reading 124/84 I was told this was normal

lol... funny how you lose weight from strange places.

haha just bought myself a pair of red stripey wedges from Next....they are sooo cute. Weird thing was I needed a 6.5 rather than a 7...seems my meaty feet are also getting smaller. :D

yippeeeeeee well done xxx

well I even wore no underwear! lol

thanks Katie... I have to get to that 2 stone loss milestone so I am totally focussed :)

Well most of you know I had a bad week where I completely went off the rails. I was saved by the skin of my teeth and luckily didn't gain weight. I did cheat a bit by wearing the lightest cothes I could find in my wardrobe :D Thanks for all your support... I have learnt my lesson, I was so...

thanks all... I need a good kick up the ass as I have been bad again!!!! But this is it...weigh in tonight which I know will be a gain but back on the straight and narrow tomorrow! I can do it!

thank you xxx

yes that's a good idea.... thank you :)

oooh I don't know...she is very easy to talk to :( Do you think I can get back on track ok? Any tips? Arghhhhhh why did I do it!

thanks for the encouragement... I am so scared this will be the beginning of the end. I seem to have lost my strength. I am dreading tomorrow so much, I don;t want my LLC to know I cheated but she'll know by my result. :(

well done you :D

Well it started woith a couple of wine gums, then a tiny bit of chocolate and now basically I have been picking at bits all week. I am soooooooo cross with myself then I have weakened and now I don't seem to be able to draw a line under it and stop! I have been trying to make up for it by...

Well just when I thought we might never see the sun again and out it comes. Wonder if it will last the whole day? Makes such a difference when the sun is shining :)

Hi everyone... still got a rotten cold but feeling more positive and stayed away from the temptations. Thanks for your support :D

Yes I'm the same... it's when I feel down or ill I just want to eat. At least I am having to learn other ways of dealing with my emotions.

:D hope so

Urghhhhhhhhhh had the cold and headache from hell for the last 2 days and one of the family dogs had to be put down yesterday and I really want to eat some comfort food! I'm not going to but feeling really sorry for myself. :cry:

hahahahaha...it really was quite horrible.

it's called sleeping with my sister! About two brother/sister couples. yuk

lol...it's horrible!

is anyone watching ch4?

oops I mean made from a LL pack of course :D

Well I braved them and they were good :) well there were larger than crips but nice and crispy :)

lol...oh well :)

wannabslim I'll go with you :D lol

well you should still update your ticker ;)

well done Bex :D

thanks for the positive strokes....you can tell what we did this week in our session ;)

Hello... with the May day challenge where do we add our progress? To the original post. Soory dumb old me has never taken part before :eek:

thanks :D

Hi all, thought I let you know I lost 3lbs again this week. Kind of in two minds.... glad the weight is coming off but wish it was a bit quicker. I really need to lose more per week if I am going to hit my goal by 100 days.

good luck with weigh in tonight

if milk doesn't knock you out of ketosis why are we not allowed it in tea or coffee?

I believe this is what you doo if you are continuing into developement. It is something the government plut in place as a condition for doing a VLCD over a certain period, CD have a add a meal instead b ut LL have just said up your calories by adding milk (mix your shales with it). However, it...

yes very annoying aren't they. It feels worse this weekend as it's been a long one and I've not really had anything to do.

yeah I do see my frineds but not when they are doing things like golf pub crawl. Those thinga are just never fun sober :(

Well this weekend has been horrible. Instead of really enjoying the time off work I am pacing around sooooo bored and fed up I am actually looking forward to going back to work on Tuesday. All my friends are out having fun, I was invited but it;s hardly fun watching other people eat and drink...

Count me in for 20 too please :D

Hey you...glad you had a good time. That's great news about the appetite. Good luck for weigh and and well done for getting back on the shakes.

I'm not sure what real difference a little cinnamon would make...I might try and see if it affects me.

:D amazing what you can make up when you are getting desperate for a different texture.

might try it with the chocolate to make a chocolate ready brek style thing :D

Hey... I just mixed a banana shake with a small amount of water then added two teaspoons of psyllium husks and it makes the perfect banana custard. YUMMMMMM :D

well done hun... :)

haha no SarahLou goes to the one in Reading with me :D

and get yourself a ticker.... it is great to see it moving along

oh hunny... remember what that lump of lard she gave us felt like and we lost 3 of those. I know how you feel as I was a little disappointed too but we're ahead of the game. We are meant to lose a stone a month and we've done over that in 3 weeks. You never know you might have a big loss next...

Hello...hmm tricky one. I would have thought if you stuck to protein you'd be ok but the wine would be a big no no. Alcohol wise vodka and slimline tonic would be better as there are no carbs in it.

don't think I can manage 6l!!!! but will try 4 ;)

Don't worry...as I said to you tonight you will lose next week :D

Yeah I do drink fizzy as well... right will make an extra effort to do the 4l.

LOL BL...I'm the same. Nice bit of burnt chicken

ooh well done. That's fantastic news :D

Lol you are so right there Corey. Unlike with other diets you know you might have eaten that little bit too much. With this you just have the packs and what will be will be. I do struggle with the water though... I definitely don't manage 4l a day...more like 3. Do you think that will slow...

thanks :) My counsellor seems to think it's unrealistic and that it will average out at 3 lbs a week. I'll prove her wrong! :D

Yes that is true... I am pleased I lost...the thing is I don't want to think that my goal is unrealistic. I want to lose 4 and a half stone in foundation and I need to lose more than 3lb per week to get there.

Hi... I lost 3lbs... I am a little disappointed but I guess it's still a loss. I'm hoping for a larger one next week. :)

lol... exactly. I was so close too but glad I didn't.

But I was under the impression that there were quite a few people that lost their final bit of weight in RTM. I'd like to think that I was able to progress to eating food but still able to reduce my weight since realistically we will have to do this moving forward to ensure we don't gain...

Blimey I would love to achieve my goal in 50 days but I think I'll be lucky to achieve it in the 100 days but I have said I am only doing it for 100 days then hoping to lose the rest on RTM. If I still had a stone to lose could I lose that on RTM.

ooooh well done you. I only wish I was that far along. Keep up the good work.

lol... I have been reading ahead of myself in the green book and have looked at the positive stroke thing. What are those horrible comments pink marshmellows or something. lol

thanks for the complment Mandee... It was funny and creepy. Lol.. I did have to smile though but didn't want to encourgage him.

Well there I was stood in the petrol station looking at a packet of wine gums wondering whether I should have my first cheat when this guy came up behind me and whispered in my ear "pretty lady". Lol... I had to smile and it made me realise that I'm doing well and that I should say NO to the...

I hope you're right but without giving too much detail I think I might have some water retention at this time of the month so am worried I may have gained. Ah well... fingers crossed I wont.

thanks... hope you're right. Will let you know :D

Am I fixated on having a ham roll. LOL.... For some reason I am really hungry today and keep thinking about ham rolls and crisps. Today is weigh in... but I don't think I have lost anything. Normally I feel different but this week I feel the same. I'll be really upset if I've stayed the same.

Don't worry you will have lost!! Sarah said the same thing last week and she lost 5lbs. :D

Hello ... I'm doing ok. I have felt a bit hungrier over the last couple of days but I have barely been drinking 1l of water so I need to up that. Apart from that all is well. How are you?

Why don't you get your brothers phone number and call and speak to your dad. Seeif he would like you to find him an alternative fllight. He may even be able to get the cost of the flight back on his insurance.

lol...to make up for the saggy boobs lol

well for me personally I'd like to be a size 12. I am happy to be a 14 but it's all too easy to slip to a 16 then upwards. So for me I am aiming for a size 12 :D

hey that would be nice if a few of us met up. Probably better to wait until the weather is nicer....and we'll also all be lighter :)

Lady thanks... Yeah I shoudl come over for a chat. We'll arrange something soon. Claire...are you sure? I'm not sure what the weight limit is but don't they have different horses for different weights?

Hi Ladylite... as you are fairly local to me (I'm in Reading) and are into horses I wondered if you could recommend a good riding school. I used to ride many years ago and although I can't really afford proper lessons I'd love to go out on treks. Can you suggest somewhere? :D

Hi hun...I have to agree with Donna...make sure you are confident you can get back on track. I did CD last year and on week 6 I ended up going out for a meal. I'm not sure why but I just couldn't get back on track. I think it's maybe because when you start you are so determined because you...

Well done to you xxx

lol..yeah I agree! It is soooooooooooooo nice. I have one in the fridge for tomorrow :)

Olivia ...is that you?

I just keep reminding myself how miserable I feel when I go shopping with friends and I can't get anything to fit, or when I go on holiday how awful I look in a bikini and how much it hurts when my legs rub together at the top. But mainly I think the sooner I lose the weight the sooner I can...

Yeah I have much more energy too which is strange. You'd think you'd feel lethargic with so few calories. Must be all that fat we're buring off...yay

It's funny as I used to eat so much junk but while on LL I keep really wanting to eat a nice cold apple, fresh out of the fridge so it;s nice and crispy. I love rosy red apples. lol...what are we like torturing ourselves! lol

Tange thanks for the compliment... I'm a bit rubbish at taking compliments. I do miss cooking I have to say. I live alone and have no children so have no one to cook for. :(

I find it quite hard to entertain myself at the weekend. It's good for me though as this diet is forcing me to learn how to enjoy myself without food! Since starting LL I realised how much time I spent eating! Especially at the weekend. Especially Sunday afternoons, I'd wonder over to the...

Do not turn to Ch4. Jamie Oliver is cookig the most delicious looking food. Arghhhh

Hello...I've nipped across from the LL forum hope that's ok :D I agree, in fact posted something similat earlier. My friend at work couldn't help but stick the knife in when I told her I had lost 7lbs this week. very good she said, trouble is with these diets is you'll put it all back on...

What's everyone doing this weekend? Anything exciting? :D

How do you add things to the gallery?

I reckon this will be the one!!!

Oh my god Katie... you are a lifesaver! Just tried the nut bar dipped in choc and you are right. It really does taste like snickers. I'm addicted :D

Hello everyone... hope you've had a good day :) Does anyone know why we are not allowed Coke Zero but they are allowed a limited amount on CD? It seems strange as the diets are practically identical. Would be nice to be able to have the occasional coke.

hey what a great idea! Gonna do that now :D

I think it's for 2 reasons...one as it reduces the vitamins etc. I think the other is that they are possibly less filling as they aren't mixed with the same amount of fluid. What do you make?

hehehe

hope you said, yes but with a personality :D

hehe good for you. You seem to have your head in the right place.

:mad:TUT...it really annoys me when people can't be happy for you when you lose weight. They are terrified that you might dare to give them a run for their money in the looks stakes and can't help but try and stick the knife in. My "friend" just said... oh how did it go at weigh in, so I told...

thanks Becky :D yours is fab too

Hello...I'm ok...but missing all the chat on here! :D Shows how much work I do haha

where is everyone today?

I've just had my choc one....it's different. nice change.

Not that I am advising you to cheat but if you really really must make sure you have protein. Think ham, chicken or a tin of tuna. Nothing with carbs. Best not to have it as you might start to do it on a regular basis but protein is deffo the best choice.

think mine will be ready then too :D

I have just put one in the freezer...hope it turns out ok. It still had lumps in it.... hope that doesn't make it yukky.

cheers :D

and do you then pour the packet into that and blend?

lol...think I will try that. How thick do you spread it?

God yes... I've been close to tears when I've been stressed, or upset or bored as I've realised these were the times I would reach for the food to make everything better. Now the food isn't there I have to fix it another way. It's tough but getting easier and is all good for making sure that...

We're all doing so well and we should all be proud :D

Well done Janey excellent :D

Sounds yummy... how did you make it?

:D thanks xxx

Hello... just had my second weigh in and I lost 7lbs :D so now I'm going to chuck the ketostix away and never check that again as it seems I was worrying unecessarily.

is there such a thing as an ice crusher...what one do you use?

Oh my god... I'm afraid I would have had to go right up to her and give her a shake for that. I really couldn't allow someone (a complete stranger) to do that to me...or anyone with me. God the cheek!

wow that's an excellent thread and really maks sense. Where's my water bottle...

Yes it is a difficult one, I do not expect people to avoid eating near me but what I really can't believe it when people come up to me waving pieces of cake or chocolate under my nose and say mmmmm bet you wish you could eat this. It makes me want to grab their head and smash it against the...

well I have to say I've not noticed the wind bit...lol... I don't think my teeth could deal with more than one a day.

thanks... weigh in is tonight...my fingers are crossed for a good result :D

this may be a stupid question but how do you crush the ice...I've tried it in the blender but it all stuck in the bottom.

I haven't plucked up the courage to try anything like the crisps or muffin yet tho as I know I'll make a complete mess.

Well I thought I'd share...I did as someone advised and make my choc shake with mint tea and it's delicious. :D

yay...well done xxx

wow...well done you

thanks...will let you know how weigh in goes tomorrow

Hi Madam... and I can see you lost loads so well done. How much did you lose in Foundation?

thanks for your replies :D

Thanks Donna... next weigh in is Tuesday. I guess I wait and see what the result is then maybe cut out the bars if I don't lose. Maybe I shouldn't get so hung up about the stick being pink... maybe it wont make any difference.

Yes I did mention it to her but she really wasn't all that helpful and just said everyone is different. The thing is I can fight against the hunger but do you think it will affect my weight loss in the long term if I am not buring fat. Also if I'm not buring fat... what am I burning... I'm...
