Hi Minime's yes I am low carbing and have been since completing my LL journey. I found that 10yrs ago when I lost 2.5 stone doing Rosemary conley that I spent the next 8 yrs trying to follow low fat eating plans most of the foods that I bought but it was only when i tried Atkins about 2 yrs ago...

Happy Sunday to you All. I finished my LL journey on the 19th July and lost a total of 4stone 2.5lbs during foundation. I then made a personal decision not to do RTM and have been happily maintaining for the past 3months. I only got my official before & after pics yesterday and have decided to...

do you like bacon??? How about ready cooked crispy bacon that you can buy in packs not cheap but quick and easy???

Totally agree Jules it was my choice over RTM I knew that being in Ketosis already will steer me on my way and after abstinence it is a fantastic diet and a good maintainer which I am planning on doing for a long time. Best of luck on your continued journey

Will do buffydog as I just explained to Sue I have still been having a Lighterlife bar for bfast as I fell in love with the taste but these alone are 20carbs so they are all gone now so am quite sure will see a significant change.

YES TO THE VODKA Hi Sue most definately having my quota of vodka and pepsi max have only had the odd white wine. Am currently over the 50g of carbs per day as I was still having my LL bar of 20g each but have finished the bars today so moving forward I will be sticking to between 20-30 to...

Hi all I thought I would post some pics of me in my transision from loosing 4st 2.5lbs doing lighter life to following Atkins for the past 4 weeks. I have not lost any more weight but have also not gained anything too which for having eaten no food for 14wks has been an absolute god send. I...

Thank you Ditzy should have explained that because I am still in Ketosis from being on LL I am not eating over 30 grams of carbs per day. Have read and done Atkins many few years back but as I have been on a VLCD I just wondered if getting back into eating had effected my losses. I will do...

big thanks Hi Sue, Wow that was an amazing weight loss in 8weeks sorry I have not replied sooner. Well am now low carbing officially as of yesterday and looking foward to sharing my journey with you. x

Sue really sorry I meant to say you have done so well yourself how ago did you stop LL? your pics are great. I had looked at them before but just had a quick look you yourself have come so far and look to be focused and maintaining.

Many thanks sun. Altough I initially wanted to loose 7 stone I now think that 5 stone is more realistic bearing in mind that I am older, my body shape is totally different (post children) and I do not want to look too thin! I know that people will say you should stop now but I am looking at...

Hello I have been looking on this site for about the last 8 wks to help me with my transformation from LighterLife to Atkins/low carb dieting to finish off my weight loss journey. As of last Monday I had lost 58.5lbs to date and am as you can imagine very happy with my new body. I have advised...

Thank you all for replying I really appreciate all of your advise and encouragement. My plan is to do the induction as I find this very easy anyway. I want to possibly loose another 1-2 stone which was my initial target but it really does depend on how my body looks and not just about weight...

Hi Blondie Logic I mentioned this to my LL councellor last week and she denied that this was the case with LL? I told her where I had seen the posts and could not see anything on the LL offical website so I am wondering if this is official. Thanks

Hi all, really could do with some advise. I have gone into wk 13 of LL today only lost 1.7lbs last week I know that I have lost 54.2lbs to date but was feeling despondant for the first time today. I am actually doing an extra 2 wks in foundation as 2 ladies are 2 wks behind us and was going to...

Hi Sarah thanks for your reply, it really is a difficult decision I do hope that I make the one that is right for me it just seems that people that have not done RTM fall into the trap of regaining weight. So did you go back to eating normally over christmas and easter? obviously you know what...

Atkins Hi ladies, I am currently starting wk 12 tomorrow of LL have lost just under 4 stone and as 2 ladies in my group are 2 wks behind we are continuing our group for an extra 2 wks which is fine. I have also said that I will do 4 wks in development to shift the last bit that I want to...

Thanks ladies I really have not had any dizzy spells prior to this in 11 wks so I suppose it was possibly dehydration more than any thing else serious

Hi Carol wow did you loose your 28lbs just on Atkins? I have been doing LL for the past 4wks have have lost just under 23lbs. My plan is to do one meal a day low carb when I go away in 4wks time and then after the initial 14wks of abstinence to continue to follow a low carb diet. I have done...

I think that some times you have to treat any form of eating on LL as a personal choice. Doing LL is a personal choice we have all chosen to do this no one has forced us. So Enjoy your dinner dance at the Orangerie I am quite sure you will have a fantastic evening with a fantastic figure to go...

Miss Bethany thank you for your posting. I know that what you are saying is 100%. I need to think about how I will feel in 5 wks time before I can make any final decision. I suppose that I really needed advise from other people in my situation and it is constructive and definately been worth...

Thank you Hi Slimseaa Many thanks for your reply. I fully understand what you have written and yes you are totally right. I really think that I am going to see how I am when I get out there and I sit down on that first night. Hopefully my will power will over take my apparent need to eat.

Ladies thank you all for your messages you are all right in what you are saying. I think it really is a personal choice at the end of the day. Also, there is the possibility and I will not even eat I will have to wait and see how I am at the time, as I am not a huge binge eater i really think...
