Hi When I first started I was allowed to do LLT even thou my BMI was 28.9 cos my waist circumference was high. They go by either BMI or waist circumference. Not sure what the situation is with ur medical form thou sorry x

Oh I'm exactly the same. I'm only 5ft so I don't carry weight well at all. I had my 1st baby in 2008 then lost 2st for my wedding in 2009 then had my 2nd baby in 2010 and stuggled to shift the baby weight on ww for over a year so started Lighterlife in the middle of last sept and lost 2.5st by...

Oh I used to live on that jelly when I done ww for my wedding a few years ago. Must get some of that today. Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the offers thread. How have you done so far? x

Hi all I'm new to slimfast. I'm starting today (on a Sunday which is a bit crackers) but I bought them in ready to start tomorrow but feel ready to get stuck in today. I've actually already lost 2.5 stone on lighter life lite which is very similar but alot more expensive. So I've decided to...

Hello all I'm here, havnt been on since Iast posted. I managed to shift the 2Ib I put on over Xmas and another little diddy 1Ib but now I'm stuck and can't seem to get back on it. I've reached my original goal but would really love another half a stone off or even more but just can't get into...

Go on the CD website and find another consultant. Theres loads in my area so hopefully there is a few by you x

Hi all Day 1 for me and just made up my first powdered shake. I followed the instructions on the pack but found the shake far too thick. Has anyone discovered the best amount of water for a nice consistency? Thanks Claire x

So impressive. Well done Andy. You should be so proud x

Hia I'm a september starter. Havnt posted or been on here for ages. My original goal was 8.12 then I changed it to 8.9. I managed to get to 8.11 for my christmas party and havnt been since oops, however I weighed myself today and I was 8.13 and I must say I'm delighted with that. 2Ib on in 3...

I should add I've lost 30Ib on LLL and only have roughly another 8-10Ib left to lose.

Hi all I'm thinking of jumping ship from LLL to 810 purely for cost reasons. As this is about £15 per week cheaper. Just wondering how this compares. Taste wise and weight loss wise. Thanks

Hi all Please can someone update for me. I've lost 2Ib this week. But I'm changing my total cos I've lost enough now. I've already gone past my original goal. But I'd like another 2Ib off and I'm completely done. So original amount to lose was 14Ib and I've got 2Ib to go. I keep changing...

Thank you x

I had to weigh in at the drop in class yesterday as I can't make it tomorrow and I lost another 2Ib. I'm so pleased with that as it was only 4 days after my last weigh in. I'm only 1Ib off my original goal weight now but I've decided to move my goal a bit and lose an extra 5Ib. Could someone...

3Ib off for me this week. Could one of u very nice people do the honours and update it for me. Thank you x

hi all I had to go to drop in and get weighed this week as I can't make it on Monday. Lost 1Ib. (well 1.5 but my LLC only works in whole numbers) Not bad considering it was only after 4 days. Could someone kindly update it for me. I've tried and can't do it on my phone x

Could someone please very kindly update this for me. I'm not sure how to do it on my phone. Lost 2Ib this week. 7Ib to go to my goal x

Thank u. Ur an angel x

Could someone please amend mine as I can't do it on my phone? I've discussed my goal again with my LLC and I've decided I want to lose a total of 30Ib which would take me to 8.12 as I think 8.7 was a bit unrealistic for me. So my aim for Christmas as of last week would have been 11Ib. As of last...

Thank you x

I can't seem to find the thread. Are we not doing it now? x

Thanks MrsB x

Thanks got ur response jaymi and good luck x

Wow bigandbeautiful ur loss is brilliant. Ive been doing the lite version of LL. I tried the total for a week which is just 4 foodpacks and nothing else but found it too brutal for me.

Jemima I tried total and completed week 1 but felt it was too brutal seeing as i wanna lose about 2 1/2 stone in total. So went onto lite but don't wanna eat every day cos I make sure I stay in ketosis all the time so don't have enough of an appetite to eat each day. I've been losing 3Ibs a week...

Can I join please. I've lost 19Ib so far and would love to lose another stone. I'm officially doing lite but do have a few total days a week. So 8 weeks to get 14Ib off. Easily achievable Claire x

Thanks for getting back to me. That's really helped. When u say protein and veg, does that include salad or not? x

Hi I have a few questions of anyone can help. I'm currently doing lighter life and thinking of switching purely for costs reasons. Im seeing a consultant on thur but just wanna know. I've lost 19Ib so far in 5 weeks and want to lose another stone. Im currently doing lighterlife lite which...

Hi all. I havnt been on here for a while. Ive just completed week 5 on lighterlife and I've lost 19Ib so far. Really pleased with myself. I officially do lite but tend to do a mixture of lite and total throughout the week. Usually I'll do a day of lite then the following day I'll do total. Works...

Hi all I'm thinking of switching to Cambridge from lighterlife. I've been doing LL for 5 weeks and I'm doing really well an thinking of switching purely for the costs reasons. And also cos I don't really gain much from the counselling sessions. I don't have issues with food and things like...

Oh well done Tia. I'd be more than happy with 3 next week. What's your total now? x

Thanks Tia. I'm so pleased with myself. Can't believe how fast these last 3 weeks have gone and how I'm not hungry or craving anything at all x

The main reason I switched to lite was cos I only like a few of the shakes and the 2 of the bars and couldn't see myself lasting on 3 shakes a day. I would have become extremely board. I've managed to stay in ketosis as I've been extra cautious when it comes to the meals I've been having. Eg...

Lovely to read about you. Good luck with ur journey x

Today is day 1 of week 4 and ive decided to start a diary. Not really sure why, probably just to rant on and stop things swirling around in my head as i tend to spend a lot of time discussing things with myself :) Heres a little bit of background on me. I Joined LL hoping to lose around 35Ib...

Lost another 2Ib this week. Not a massive loss but that's 13Ib in 3 weeks so I'm really pleased with that. Plus it's TOTM so can't complain at a 2Ib loss. I'm 2Ib off getting in the next stone so that's my aim by next week. Im 10.1st now and can't wait to finally see a 9 on the scales...

Well done jmny that's brilliant. Oh I weigh myself every morning. Can't help myself. Works for me :-) x

I know the feeling. 1st week I tried pretty much everything, didn't like the porridge an the 'meals', 2nd week I tried just shakes bars and soups. Then this week I've just stuck to shakes and bars and feel much better just having them instead of forcing the rest down. I'm half way thru 3rd week...

As of my 2nd weigh in I lost another 4Ib so that's 10Ib in 2 weeks. Today I'm in day 17 and according to my scales iv lost another 2 so far woooo x

Hi RonnyB good luck with your first week. Stick with it. It's worth it x

Hi - do u know if it's just for iPad cos I've got an iPhone and can't find it in the app store. What's it's called x

Good luck Mandie. I'm only only day 1 of week 3 so not completely and expert yet but I do know I've lost 10Ib and couldn't be happier. I feel brilliant. My clothes feel so much better and I feel so much better about myself already...so....just think, that could be you in 2 weeks x

4Ib off for me this week. Thats 10Ib in 2 weeks. Couldn't be happier. Can feel it in my clothes ready and feel so much happier and confident already. Roll on the next 2 weeks, and 2 after that. Etc x

I'm on day 9, lost 7Ib at my first weigh in...so 7Ib ?

Wow fab weight loss. Ooo thats good to know about coke zero x

Looks to me like Uve only had 2 packs today and should have 3 on lite. I think I'm going to struggle having 3 and a meal each day but once u can have the bars they are a nice evening treat. Iv just had the cranberry and raspberry one and it's defo my face bar x

Hi naz. Nice to meet u. Good luck with ur first week x

Hi all further to my post yesterday I spoke to my LLC and did infect switch to lite from total. I only managed 1 week but on total and u lost 7Ib. I'm really happy as I now only have 2stone left to lose. I feel in such a better place today and much more positive like a weight has been lifted...

Thanks for ur reply. It's really helpful. So what brand are these spaghetti Bol and cottage pies u mentioned? I'm really in 2 minds about what to do at the moment. My group is at 8.30 so I'll speak to my LLC and go from there. I really don't wanna give up so early on so hopefully I'll continue a...

Also I forgot to say. The main reason I'm miserable on total is because I'm really struggling with the food packs. I feel like I'm paying a lot of money to force the packs down myself when I really don't like them. I dont mind the shakes and 1 or 2 of the soups but can't bare be porridge, chili...

Hi all I'm only at day 7 on total and seriously considering switching to lite. I have roughy 2 stone left to lose. I feel really miserable on total and really cant see me sticking it out for another 6-8 weeks. However I know I may feel differently after my first weigh in and session tonight...

Hi thanks for ur reply. The reason I was allowed to do LLT is cos I have raised waist line and that is also the criteria for LLT as well as BMI above 30. I carry all my extra weight around my stomach and waist. I'm hoping I'll get some of my positively back after tonight's meeting/group and...

Hi ive read online that leg pain/cramps can be a symptom of a low carb diet. I remember I had it really bad when i done Atkins once x

hi all, well here i am at day 7. cant quite believe ive made it. WI isnt until 8.30pm though which im a bit concerned about. i did weigh myself this morning on my scales and i know its going to vary later after drinking and having my packs today. anyway this week has been up and down. i...

Thanks for the responses everyone. Coffee vanilla shake and ice sounds nice. Must get myself a new blender. Mines leaking x

Hi I've just got a quick (stupid) question. I've seen on here that people have the vanilla shake with a spoon of coffee. Is that with hot water or cold? Thanks Claire x

Hi emz Good luck for tomorrow. Just keep reminding yourself why ur doing it. That's what I'm doing. U will easily be at ur goal for ur bday. Are u having a party or anything. Its my birthday in jan too but I'll be 29 on the 7th x

Jo we should be buddies seeing as we started within a day of each other. I get weighed Monday nite x

well 2 days in and i think ive found my new drink hi all - im only 2 days in and already missing my cups of tea. i have tried to adapt with black tea but i just cant take to it, even though i used to have my tea fairly strong. well a girl in work drinks hot water instead of tea and coffee so...

Hi thanks for ur reply. I have read all the posts on sept and tried to post my hello on there but it didn't work. Oh I love hearing them words that it gets easier. I really hope it does. Today was difficult at times and I'm fully prepared for it to get harder before it gets better x

Tia Milly - wow that's so impressive. Do u feel 1 stone lighter?

Hi all my name is Claire and today is day 1 on LLT. Well I'm proud to say i have survived today. Been in work which was perfectly fine but struggled a bit once it got to about 5-6pm and I had to feed my 2 young daughters. (1 & 3). Today I've had porridge, spicy curry soup, strawberry shake...
