ooh Mike, you've inspired me! I've been thinking about trying it for a while and you've convinced me - I've booked for a session tomorrow! I hope it goes as well as yours!

Thank You! Mini - Thank You - That's very reassuring! I hadn't thought to look to see if I had any "baby hair" growing (I do! I've checked now!) Supplements are also a good idea - just to give me a bit of an extra boost to make sure! Thanks Guys - great advice (as usual!)

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me - my hair has suddenly starting falling out in handfulls! I've been doing LL since the start of August but went into Management just before Christmas, I know "hair thinning" can be one of the side effects of the diet but I didn't really notice anything...

Hi - how did you get on last night? Have you enjoyed your first meal? I had a grilled Chicken Breast (exciting or what?) and remember being gobsmacked when I was full up after eating about half of it!! I'm not too bad on the spotty front - I only had one on my face and managed to avoid...

Know what you mean about those Grey areas! Out of my Foundation Group of 13, about half went into Development (including me!), 3 went into Management and the rest went it alone. There are 7 of us in Management now and we're all doing ok-ish. Most have stayed about the same or lost even more...

Well Done! Hi AJ - first of all congratulations on getting there - it's a fantastic feeling, isn't it? Make sure you keep reminding yourself how well you've done! I'm in a very similar place to you but a few weeks ahead - I've lost just over 6 stone (I started with a BMI bang on 40 and am...

You're definitely not alone - I felt (and still feel exactly the same). I've been at my target weight for a few weeks now and now "officially" fit into size 12 trousers (still size 14 top because of unfortunately big boobs but it could be worse!) after losing just over 6 stone. I feel I...

Isn't it weird how we can vary so much? I'm just at goal, I weigh 147lb (from 233lb) and am 5ft6, I've gone from wearing a size 20 (but I was probably a 22!) to a size 12 bottoms (10 in skirts if they're not too fitted round the thighs!) and a size 10/12 top if it's not buttoned and a 14 if it...

I don't think it's just kids who mishear things - my OH was convinced that the Radio 4 programme "Crossing Continents" was actually called "Cross Incontinents", now whenever I hear it I ALWAYS think they say "Cross Incontinents" as well - an interesting image!:)

Have Changed my Signature! Hadn't even occurred to me that I needed to update my signature now I AM a Slinky Malinky, so as you can see I've changed it as I am determined to stay this way!! G - I started at the beginning of August, did my 14 weeks of LL Foundation, then just over a month of...

Thanks Everyone! Wow - I've just been reading all your lovely comments (and the ones on the "Inspiration" Thread as well) and now I'm sitting here blubbing my eyes out! It's so nice to have what I've done recognized by people other then my friends and family and it's got me a bit overwhelmed...

Hi everyone - seems to be a lot of us reaching target at the moment! I've just reached target this week (10 and a half stone, have lost 6 stone 1!) and am on my second day of management - roll on tomorrow when I can have a cup of tea with milk! How sad is it to be craving a cup of proper tea...

Hi, I've just started Management and it's currently £49.50 for the first 2 weeks, then £33 for the next 6 weeks and then £16.50 for the last 4 weeks. After that you can still go back and get weighed if you want (our LLC lets you stay for the meeting as well if you like but I don't know if they...

Well Done!!! Wey Hey!!!! Well Done - I'm really pleased for you, I've just reached my target this week as well (10 and a half stone - I don't think I've weighed that since I was at school!) and it feels great, doesn't it? Here's to you and me keeping it off for good now!:D :D :D

Thanks for this - it's good to be reminded that putting the odd pound on isn't going to kill me and that it's always possible to lose it again without the full on horror of long term SSing!! I'm definitely still nervous but I know it has to be done eventually and I am desperate to get back to...

Another Yorkie.... ....only just found this thread, I'm another Yorkshire Lass - in lovely North Leeds. I'd be well up for a meeting so will keep my eyes peeled for anything - maybe we could all meet up for a Christmas Sparkling Water (my new drink of "choice" when I'm out, makes a change from...

CDthing - I wish I was young enough not to have heard of Cheers - LOL! Thanks for the help, may well take you (and your friend!) up on your offer after I've spent a bit more time browsing the site Roch suggested!

Thanks Roch, Plenty of good tips on there - that should keep me busy for a while!

Hi Everyone, I've made a decision to start Management next week. I'm 6lb off my target still but will lose at least half of that (I hope!) by the time I start eating again so I'm not too concerned about that. I've been desperate to start Management since I finished Foundation but now I've...

Hi Everyone.... We're off to Boston in May and although we've got flights booked we've currently got nowhere to stay - all the hotels are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! Has anyone been before? Or can anyone recommend somewhere to stay? Any tips (for anything - not just places to stay!) would be very...

Mmmmm - hot buttered toast (with real butter, not marg) - 4.2 My Mum's Roast Potatoes - 5!!!!! Posh Sausages with homemade mash and onion gravy - 4.5 Last and definitely not least - Pickled Onions - has to be a 5!!!!!!

How weird is that? I've only strayed (properly!) once since I started on LL and guess what it was that I had - yep, a pickled onion!! It must be years since the last time I had one but I was desperate and nothing else would do (I even considered mixing a bit of onion vinegar into one of my...

Good idea illdoit. I'm (hopefully!) moving into maintenance on LL round about the New Year so my goals are: To complete Maintenance properly, by the book, and remain at my target weight To go cycling at least twice a week, so by the time I go on holiday in May not only am I bit more toned...

I have to say that OH is being very supportive and I couldn't have done it without his help - when we were shopping this week though he did comment that he wasn't going to embarrass himself again this week and if I wanted another "sugar update" I'd have to do the shopping on my own! Looks like...

Thanks Melissa, I've got some left that I was taking before I started LL, so I'll get my LLC to have a look at them for me! Thanks again....

Hi Everyone, I know our LL foodpacks give us 100% of the RDA for Vitamins etc, but I'm having really bad problems with my skin (spots, in my 30's - how unfair is that!!!). My Doctor has given me antiobiotics but has suggested I take a vitamin supplement as well - I said I was on LL and that I...

I like the sound of this as well - def add my name to the list!:)

Wow! I'm so proud of you - you've just done an amazing thing and what's more you've done it with a fair degree of style, Good on you! I've only just found your thread but my heart was going out to you as I read it - I was in a similar position to you several years ago and I wish I'd been as...

...you have to do the shopping in your house (like me!). I was doing the weekly drag round the supermarket last night and was getting very tempted by all the food, to the point where I was driving my OH mad with all my moaning. He dumped our trolley (we did go back for it later!), went and got a...

WOW!!!!! You all look so fantastic! Well done to all of you - I can't wait to post my photos up here as well! Am really glad I found this thread - know where to come on a cold, wet miserable Tuesday when I need cheering up in future....:D Well done again all you losers! :) :) :)

I have to say I agree with Clucks, when I started on LL the OH bought us both bikes so we could get fit and lose weight together. Living in a particularly hilly part of Yorkshire I couldn't understand why, when we were out for a couple of hours at a time 2 or 3 times a week the weight wasn't...

Thanks everyone! Thanks Guys - just what I needed, a bit of external advice to combat my chatterbox with! I think you're all right - I've done so well so far that now I've only got a couple of stone to go (and more importantly have had the breakthru moment of being able to go into places like...

Pleased to meet you all... Hi everyone, I'm Malinky - I'm just about finishing Foundation now having lost 4 stone 12 but am moving straight into Development to get rid of that last couple of stone. I actually joined the MiniMins a few weeks ago but due to immense problems with BT and our...

Hi everyone, I could really do with some help and advice and I know you lot will always try and oblige. I've just about finished Foundation (I move into Development on Weds) and up until the last week or so I was doing fine, but now I've started craving food really badly (much worse then it has...
