I was working as a District Nurse and I has a regular call every week, I let my self in as normal went to the kitchen to get a bowl of water, went back to the lounge and she was crying watching TV I can remember saying to her - why are you watching this film if it is upsetting you ? she said no...

Hiya Mandy :) I am a re-starter too it is hard to get back on the plan but oh so worth the effort, if I am struggling I look at the before and afters on here and on the LL web page, I read the LL books and I try to visualize my self where I want to be at the end of my journey which is a slinky...

oh dear :( I had the same problem with a guy I started seeing in January when I was well into ketosis and loosing well we met up and straight away he was negative about the not eating, and gradually wore me down - he cooked lovely meals then pouted if i wanted my soup or shake. He actually...

:) Hello xx not been here for a few days been working silly shifts ! I understood from my LLC that you would have to pay the 15.00 even if you did not attend the meeting that is for returners and for new starters. I am going tomorrow to weigh first week back so I will ask the questions then x As...

Well done xxx

:) Thank you both xx I knew I would get a sensible answer, I am having 3 -4 L of water a day so will try to increase it, I dont really want to add salt as it can make you retain fluid that may slow weight loss, so thank you both for your help

I think your wires are crossed hon, when you are in maintenance you eat a normal low GI diet, if you continued on 500 cals you would evaporate eventually :) i have done all the others before and LL is the only one that has worked for me, the main part is the counselling it is so important to...

:) I restarted this week too, however I cant bear the chilli and the porridge :D I love the vegetable soup with tabasco :) lol good luck to you for the remaining part of your journey xx

WOOOW... had really bad cramp in both my calf muscles at different times last night didnt get this last time! is it a coincidence??... :( both legs sore today

Morning - I was a bit peeved too when I discovered that as a returning member I had to pay 'up front' to show my comittment, but after I came home and reflected on what had been said I can see their point in charging me ( and the management) The LLc are running a business with all the overhead...

My LLC told us about it on Thursday it is being trialed in Wales now, basically it is because of the VAT, they have to charge VAT on the food because it is included with the counselling, so they have separated it Counselling 15.00 per week, then food packs vary cheapest being shakes then soups...

:) I had an issue with the porridge ... now I only have drinks, I make all of mine with 400 -450 mls water it gives me a bit more volume and it also helps with the fluid intake :) I blitz with hand blender they are fine tabasco and black pepper to savory, tablet sweetner to the vanilla with a...

:) when I started last year the funniest thing was going to the pub and drinking pints of water - my friend was so embarrassed to ask for water for me she told the bar maid I was taking medication and i couldnt take alcohol...when I told the bar maid what I was doing she told my mate not to be...

Christmas last year was the start of my slippery slope too, I have just rejoined and I am going to maintain abstinence this year as I wont be at my target by then, I will be close but not there :)

I have vit B12 injections and was advised to continue with them x they can do a blood test to check your levels but mine were still on the low side so I still have them

:) The aftertaste is a bit of a thing for me too, I just brush my teeth and found that helped last time, I also found some of the soups a bit bland so I add black pepper and tabasco :) the vegetable is good with a kick in, and the vanilla is good with decaff coffee it makes a fab latte :) I went...

:) My practice nurse did mine x no problems she said she looks forward to seeing less of me each time i go ... I think that lots of pharmacies will do a blood pressure medication check but will charge. The problem with GP surgeries is they are now run as businesses so they think they can charge...

for me personally the first 3 days were the worst once I was in ketosis I was never hungry, my problem was always going to the toilet hence the fybogel but once I was taking that no problem, just make sure you get your fluids in at least 3 litres - taken slowly over the day not all in one go xx...

I rejoined last night and had to pay for a new shaker, journey book I didnt want a bag as I have mine from last year - for some reason have the bottom of the shaker but not the top!! My LL c had a list of charges for everything that is needed by returners. Also the format has been changed by the...
