In the past on WW I've averaged 1.5 pounds a week (with some exercise).

Thank you, that's encouraging. Am obsessed with the WW website at the moment....

Thanks for all the advice. I have decided to join Weight Watchers (after 14 weeks on LL) to lose the last 2 stone. Have started eating and counting points. I'll have to wait and see if there is a weight gain as a result. :wave_cry: Can't believe there is no ThursdayxThursday thread. Hope...

I finally made up my mind and swapped from Lighterlife (after 14 weeks) to Weight Watchers. I went to my first meeting yesterday and have been counting points today. It feels so good to eat.:) I just hope any weight gain doesn't last too long. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for the advice. Toller-girl. Hope you are feeling a bit more steady today. All the best for rtm.

thanks

I don't know what's triggered it. I was feeling fat and worthless (despite hvaing lost 4 stone!). I still have about another 2 stone to lose and can't face the idea of packs for weeks and weeks more. I kind of justified it to myself by thinking about how I'd been dizzy and feeling faint over the...

I have lapsed so many times and in so mnay bad ways over the last three days.

Good to have you back! Hopefully it will be ood practice for rtm. Hope your last week of abstinence goes well and that you are looking forward to rtm. …and that Blackpool was fun!

Doh sorry!:wave_cry:

Thanks Mikey. Hope rtm is going well for you and the vlcd diet creation

Had my weigh in tonight - first for two weeks because of my hoilday last year. Lost 8lb so v chuffed after some lower losses lately.

I use a fork and make it into a mouse (less water) and you don't taste any lumps. Any mug will do for mixng. Or can you have your bar during the day?

Leema - sorry about the weigh in. You have still lost loads overall. it's great you're managing not to put on weight when you are injured, and I guess, movement is restricted. A 2lb a week LighterLife would be great - do you know if it is available yet?

Slimssea - that's horrible. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Pretty overcast here too. Not much going on.

Thanks. I will get my blood pressure checked and ask some advice informally. Good luck with the early rtm.

Thanks Mikey, Yes my triggers are all in my head. Chocolate and crisps have been huge problems for me pre-LL but it is pizza I have been craving (but not eaten) during LL. My chatterbox has been racing and constant the last week.It's goo to hear some sense on minimins.

Thanks Alibongo, I think I am panicking. I don't think I could mentally handle consistent gains so I think you are right with rtm. That's great if you can still go to classes after rtm, even if you arer trying to lose a pound or two. 7lbs to 1 stone would be fine for rtm. I'd got into my head...

I have posted this question on the weight watchers forum but wanted to get the LL perspective. After 16 weeks (currently in week 13) I was thinking about moving to Weight watchers. I should hopefully be about 13 stone by then (<11, 10 would be a healthy BMI). I am craving food like anything, a...

Thanks Nicky. I don't know how I would cope with gaining. After I finish 16 weeks on LL I expect still to have about 2 stone to lose so hope to lose steadily. I guess is hould be possible in time for Christmas. As well as craving food (including lots of dreams about it!) I am scared of the...

Did they give you any kind of explanation. If it is just a generic 'we don't agree with vlcds' then it doesn't sound like they are tailoring their advice to you. A lady in my group had to go to a private doctor for the same reason - it cost her £70. You can often get a chemist to do your 28 day...

AllyLL Wow - did people really not gain when they went from LL straight to WW. That's amazing. I am constantly obsessed by food at the moment......I have been doing LL for 12 weeks and was thinking of stopping at the 16th week. What's W8? I've never heard of that

Thanks Emma - it looks like route to management (reintroduction of food over 12 weeks) might be the way to go and then Weightwatchers.

I hope you don't mind me posting over here. I am currently on Lighterlife but am thinking about mocing to Weightwatchers. I have done weightwatchers before and find it great in lots of ways but I had so much to lose that I wanted to lose the initial lump quickly. Has anyone else moved from a...

The weight will be dropping off you as you read this!

Oh that sucks. You have lost so much and done so well. You can do this, but your health comes frist. Lots of sympathy....

Whether you are weighed in the morning or evening does make a huge difference. People in my group who go to a stop-in have this problem as stop is first thing in the morning and weigh-in is in the morning. 7 days till your RTM........:)

toller-girl. Ooh hopefully you will have a big loss to look forward to! How long do you have to wait?

Wow that is absolutely amazing. Hope you enjoy your family seeing your new figure! Any tips?

I hope you really enjoy it! It is very very well deserved.

I hope you are ok now? I'll drink some more....

Thanks alibongo. I'll up the water intake.

I don't know about the Manchester area but you culd try ringing a few LLCs and see which you click with.

The last few days I've been really light headed and a dizy, especially when I stand up. I've been exercising and following the plan. Has anyone any suggestions on how to stop this? I'm staying with my family this week and don't want them thinking badly of this diet if they see me woozy (I'm 12...

Lemma - hang on in there. I've been out for a country walk and got lost which added on some extra miles. Let's hoping it helps with the weigh in! enjoying the sofa now.

That is a classic! :jelous:

The NICE guidance for obesity state thata VLCD should not be followed for more than 12 weeks continously. Whether adding a bit of milk for one week is what they meant I don't know! The NICE guidance isn't very specific. I decided that as I lapsed a couple of weeks ago I hadn't being doing it...

Fantastic BL! What a great day. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday

It's a day with the family for me today. We juts had a huge sit-down meal. Am hanging on but veyr tempted! I dreamt about eating pizza last night and in the dream, before I ate the pizza, I actually thought 'should I do a though record'. Oh dear, what is this diet doing to me (apart from...

Congrats Claire.

Really? Oh well, one post nearer ;)

Wow weevikki - that's a lot of exercise! Good luck for the weigh in. I have just survived a BBQ - difficult tonight.

Not much to report today. Corey - hope you get new today. Good luck with the Isle of Wight trip. Hope the cross-trainer is kind to you and attacks the calories! I am off for a swim tonight. Due to fianances, am going to have to leave the gym so plan to enjoy it as much as possible now.

Oh dear I have drunk a stupid amount of coke zero this week....but was in ketosis at weigh in.

It's funny what you end up craving on lighter life..

Brilliant :)

Good luck witht the court work. It sounds like everyone is need of more sleep today. I have another day at work today. It is really sad but I am very glad that today is my weigh in day. On Friday I am off to visit my family and am really hoping for a good weight loss before I go. I have seven...

Thank you!! I will sing up now - before I can back out.

I was thinking of doing a 5k race for life. Is this a really daft idea while I am on absitence and still overweight (I hope to have a BMI of about 28 then). I go the gym/swim 2-3 times a week and do walk at the moment but not been jogging... I know no-one can give me medical advice but has...

Thanks DonnaL. I was confused as on here people talk about losing about a stone on rtm but my LLC was saying definitely get to at least your goal before you move.

This isn't totally related but I noticed both you Claire and Corey have gone to RTM before the magic 25 BMI. I am looking ahead and abstinence seems like it's stretching on forever. I also have some time awat at the end of July I'd like to be able to eat for. What's you advice about when to move...

Sunday - two days to weigh in. I walked to Church this morning and then went to a friends - I cooked a roast there but no food for me. Am abosultely ravenous and my home scales aren't showing a drop yet :( I will not eat. I will not eat. Just keeping saying that...

Congrats DonnaL:)

Good luck for the inteview Corey. As for the little earner on the side.....he he he

Long day but avoided the buffet at work = good day! Oooh nearly time for friday hour x hour thread. I love the hour x hour threads:)

Have a great (food-free) time!

My LLC said the same thing. They have trialled a tomato soup.

Thanks guys!

Hello, I have been lurking for a month - having only just figured out that the acivation email for Minimins went straight to my spam box - doh! You guys have kept me going - even though haven't been posting. LighterlifeClaire - wow to your weight loss! PositiveBetty- your posts are always...
