    Low Blood Pressure

    I just actually fainted for the first time in my life. Wow. Quite shocked by that - I'm seriously considering coming off the programme. I may have lost weight but I don't seem to be any healthier for it!

    Low Blood Pressure

    I have low blood pressure. It's a good thing so long as it's not too low as you are protected from the risks of HBP (e.g. stroke); but if blood pressure gets dangerously low then it's difficult to treat and the risks are more serious (i.e. slipping into a coma). Mine has always been low but...

    why do people try to discourage you.

    Stuff 'em - what you put into your mouth is up to you. From what I can see, there are 2 positive things you can take out of this. 1. People think you are going to fail at something. Prove them wrong - use this as motivation. 2. Remember how much you appreciate people that are supportive of...

    Feeling guilty about losing weight like this

    Losing 6 stone is a massive achievement and you should give yourself a big pat on the back. You have nothing to feel guilty about because you have done absolutely nothing wrong (in fact it sounds like you've done lots of things right!). There are no "rules" to losing weight, therefore you...

    LighterLife - a diet designed for women.

    Oh yeah! I do feel sorry for you if you're a meat-lover because that chicken soup tastes absolutely nothing like chicken. I can't see LL adding a beef jerky bar to their range any time soon! Well once you get on to RTM, meat is one of the first things you could look forward to that I guess.

    LighterLife - a diet designed for women.

    Actually there is quite a bit of scientific evidence, but it's inconclusive. Basically, everyone craves sweet foods sometimes whether male or female. Apart from that, some studies found men wanted more sweetness and others found women did. Interestingly, women from America tended to say that...

    End of Raspberry and Caramel shakes ??

    I just said in my LL group this week how I wished there was a tomato soup and everyone else agreed - I hope it turns out to be good! At the moment I often use the caramel flavour as a custard, but I'm just as happy with banana or chocolate custards! You can tell the strawberry and bananas are a...

    Anemia/Anemic... Whatever

    I'm guessing you look pale and that's why he's saying you look anaemic. Anaemia is caused by low levels of haemoglobin in the blood - the haemoglobin carries oxygen and makes the blood look red, so if you are deficient in that then you may look pale. Also any other kind of red blood cell...

    LL not working???

    OK for a start I was in a proper mood when I wrote that - sorry. I'm better now. I was just stumped as to why my first weigh-in with my LLC showed no loss despite sticking to it all week. I thought that was the week that was meant to show the biggest losses! My bathroom scales are digital ones...

    LL not working???

    I'm 11 days in but my last weigh-in I hadn't lost anything! I've weighed myself on my own scales every day since and again no loss! It's nowhere near my TOTM, I'm drinking plenty of water and I walk about 3 miles per day. I realise everyone has the occassional week where they lose nothing/put on...
