I just picked up my packs from my new CDC last night after deciding to swap to CD from LL (mainly due to the financial implications) Had a cranberry crunch bar last night and then peanut crunch this morning. How delicious are they????? Haven't had a shake yet but just being able to sniff a...

Thank you for the info. Why only three packs a day? I see from the CD website that you are only meant to sole source for 4 weeks at a time? Can you elect to sole source for longer?

I've been on LL since October and lost about 5 stone. I am finding it really difficult at the moment - both financially and the ss'ing. I'm tempted to go over to CD and see if the change won't help with a fresh start and clean slate. In terms of the counselling it feels as though I now have the...

If keeping your blog helps then go for it. I need to write things down and I use a black moleskin diary which goes everywhere with me! I think it can be such a useful aid to the healing process. I can also use it to monitor my wobbles (and there are many). You are inspiring me. If someone...

Hi Gaijingirl I just wanted to say that I read your blog with much interest. Sometimes it seems as though you are writing my thoughts down. I looked at your weightloss - you are doing so well. Fabulous. Can I just ask - have you managed to control the bulimia totally whilst on LL? I'm...

:( oh well. i was looking forward to that hovering over me whilst ignoring the plates of Christmas goodies!!! I will be on here no doubt!!!

Anyone know when the new magazine is out? I love the inspiring photos. I am also storing up the recipes for when I reach goal! Anyone at work who is struggling to get their proverbial in gear this close to Christmas? or is it just me? :D

Day one down of the strict ss'ing. I think (hope) that I have entered into a new frame of mind. I have a tougher goal to reach but if I stick to the rules I can do it! Just settling down to work (although clearly not as I am on here) with a steaming cup of my favourite double chocolate...

Thanks Dizzy. Whereabouts in Essex are you? Wow - only 7lbs to goal. How exciting. You must be really chuffed.

I reached my first mini-goal yesterday. I hit 3 stone loss and 1.3lbs at the beginning of week 10. I originally wanted to get there for boxing day, so I am ahead of the game. YAY! I have now set a second mini-goal. This one is tougher so I am going to try and keep this diary as...

I'm always so inspired by you girls and boys! I also realise I am not the only one who sometimes finds it tough. It's like a sisterhood/brotherhood here. Thank you. My achievement at class today was to make it to just over 3 stone loss at the start of my week 10 weigh-in. I had set 3 stone...

Hi - I'm struggling too. I was doing ok. Really strict and then I had some chicken. Since then I am finding it really hard to deal with the abstinence. Keeping my journal helps and reading through the green book in my own time but I do struggle in the evening. Has anyone who has wobbled...

Hi Kebab It was a while ago that you last posted. I wondered how you are doing????? Gemma

erm...I'm still at the craving everything stage although it is pretty much all savoury foods. Cheese goes without saying.... Tell me it gets easier!!!???? :o

Hi guys I wondered if anyone has had some definitive advice on exercise. I have read a fair bit and still not sure if exercise is recommended. Obviously increasing steps per day and actually moving is great plus using the ball and rubber band when you get it, but i am talking about sessions in...

I am thinking about a bit of a shopping expedition this weekend to see if I can find some cheap clothes to take me through the next couple of weeks. Ok - so I don't really really need them... I just want them. I have heard people say that Primark is ok but never bought clothes from there in...

aw - you guys are making me feel all warm and fluffy inside (which is just as well - I've finally warmed up). Thank you x

So glad I am not the only one. Everyone in my office thinks I'm a nutter. Seriously considering a thermal top hunt at lunchtime - trouble is too bloody cold to brave the outside!!!

Oh Kebab - 5 days! you must be shattered - physically and mentally. Have you managed to identify the trigger? I have to say that I always feel better when I come out the other side. Not that that is a recommendation by any means. Hope you get on alright on your first day back. Today feels...

I posted yestereday - was having terrible issues with food cravings. I won't say I made it...but I am out the other side! Hade second week weigh in and lost a further 6.6 lbs making a total of 19.1 lbs in 14 days, despite feeling like a rather large water baby is strapped to my middle (damn...

hey gaijingirl - no I didn't throw up the chicken or cheese and whilst on the straight and narrow of LL no urges to either. Crikey - there isn't anything to throw up!!!! I'm wobbling in terms of "real" food rather than the packs. Weigh in is tomorrow so perhaps a weightloss will stablise me...

I'm not the only one on here though, am I? Had to go to a different sugery as mine has a blanket policy against vlcd. I wasn't specifically asked the question.

I haven't brought it up (so to speak). I really do feel that when the weight comes off the urges to binge will be less because alot of it is linked to self esteem and mine is damaged by how I feel about the way i look. if that makes sense. Frankly all of us are there for one eating problem...

I hope you don't mind me writing. I am on day 13 LL and have struggled a bit this week. Some of this I think is down to the approaching time of the month. Normally I would be eating anything that isn't tied down. I confess that I had a couple of pieces of chicken the other night - about the...
