    Back again ... but this time I'll do it!

    Hello all, I've been back reading posts for a few days, hoping to be inspired and I think you've done it! So I'm armed with stevem's spreadshets and I'm up for guzzling together in the olympic sized swimming pool, all I need is to know that you're all there with me and for you'll to know that...

    Long time no see .... help me!

    I've not visited the forum for over a year. I lost 4.5 stone with lighterlife just over 12 months ago ... Fantastic! ... but since then things have fallen apart. I've tried to return two or three times - but I was throwing my money away ... convincing myself that my heart was back in it and...

    Bought me some new clothes

    Our counseller was saying yesterday that she's going to have a 'swop it' clothes rail at the meetings. It seems such a great idea! I wonder if any other counsellors do the same ... or maybe we could all suggest it!

    Just tried on the wedding dress!

    You will be right behind me! You'll not get rid of me that easily you know - but the groups have been really good and it will be rather odd to be joining another lot of ladies! I think I've been a little reluctant hence the fact that I'll be doing just two weeks of development! :wave_cry: By...

    Help!moral Support Needed I Am Going To Fall Off The Wagon :(

    I shouldn't think the lemon will have affected things - but you were possibly dehydrayted at your previous weigh-ins. I find the water really difficult too. You sound a little happier.

    Just tried on the wedding dress!

    Thank you ladies! It's a little sad I know. The next target is the dress that I wore on my 18th birthday! ...nearly 22 years ago! ... just really depressed myself now! ... sigh!

    oooh, and just one other thing ... I think that your weekly 'predict you loss here' thread is fun, but do you think you are putting extra pressure on yourself by comming those predictions to type - It's making you compare your losses to those of other people ... and don't forget that there are...

    PiX! Reality check needed and FAST! You have lost, what is it? twenty something pounds to date? You have 40 lbs left to go and five months to do that in! In a MONTH you have lost over a third of what you need to lose! You are SO on track to do this! You have struggled so much with the shakes...

    Just tried on the wedding dress!

    OK, OK, it's my OLD wedding dress and I'm happily married and havn't the slightest intention of doing it again but..... it feels as though my daughter has pestered to see me in it her whole life and I could never actually tell her that the reason that mummy couldn't put it on, was that she...

    What's the most anyone here has lost during foundation?

    Hi Yorkiegirl, I'm 10 days away from day 100 - still a little bit to do, but I'm just at the 4 stone mark ... I'll let you know the final total on 10 days time! Everyone seems to lose at different rates and it doesn't seem to make much difference how much you actually have to lose. My group are...

    I'm halfway through week 13 and have just hit the 4 stone mark .... That's 4 stone in less than 100 days and just 7lbs to go now! Just think of those wedding photographs! The time will fly - just try not to think about it too much and enjoy the compliments as you transform infront of everyone...

    What happens at the end of the 100 days?

    Hi everyone! WobblyW, thank you so much for your lovely comments (read positive strokes) You're not looking bad yourself! I agree, the end of week 13 weigh-in is a truly crap idea but it's probably affecting me more than most in the group. Mel, we were fortunate that our counsellor didn't...

    FIRST DAY YUCK!

    Hi Pix! Well they certainly don't register as 'food' packs in my book and if I'd thought about it for long, I think that the taste and smell would have put me off after about day two. But hey, I've lost 3.5 stone in 11 weeks and show me another diet which would have given me a better result...

    FIRST DAY YUCK!

    Can't say that I ever took to the shakes or the soups - the highlight of my day is my toffee bar (and let's face it, nobodt would choose to eat one if it wasn't part of this diet. I tend to think of the food packs as my 'thin medicine'. Eat what I'm told to eat, do what I'm told to do and at the...

    What happens at the end of the 100 days?

    This may seem a daft question, but what exactly happens at the end of foundation? Last week my counsellor told the group that our last weigh-in will be at the end of week 13 and not at the end of the 14 weeks at all! Is this right? She was going to check out her information as we are the first...

    I'm at my heaviest EVER but the only way is down!

    Hi Yorkiegirl, You'll find this site a huge help. How you are able to pick yourself up after the twelve months that you have just had leaves me completely humble. What an incredible woman you are! Lighterlife as you already know is fast and the results are dramatic! It creates little...

    Hi everyone! Happy New Year! For the past few days I've been feeling really light-headed ... especially if I jump up out of a chair or out of bed. Sometimes it feels as though I will actually pass out, though this hasn't happened yet! Now I seem to remember that this could be linked to lower...

    Hi Ann, You're right, you aren't the only one ... infact the whole country gains an average of 7 lbs during the festive season! And another thing, the avarage adult consumes 8000 calories on Christmas Day! Food for thought? Now, I'm not entirely sure how badly you blew it but let's just say that...

    Hi Cheekymare! You're not alone i promise you that! I ate Christmas dinner too (a fraction of my annual portion i might add) but I had planned it, I'm really OK with myself about it and although I enjoyed it and I'd loved to have followed it with pudding, Christmas cake and a couple of mince...

    Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reply to my whinging! There's some really good advice there - I will take it all on board, imagine my 'health present' and what you all say is quite right - to give up now would be going back to exactly what I was so desperate to get away from in...

    1st drop-in... What a result!

    I think that maybe I was expecting too much. I first did CD about 20 years ago when I was at university ... thought that flavours may have developed since then! ... but no! Anyway, thanks for your posts guys, it's great to know that you're with me every 'inch' of the way!
