Good luck with your onward journey Lea, ive decided to give VLC dieting a break for a bit because I just cant give 100% and i dont think its the type of diet to do unless you are totally focused. I will drop by your diary from time to time because whatever diet I decide to do you will be very...

Since reading 50 shades I have been reading a few of this type of book and can recommend a couple: Bared to You: A Crossfire Novel by Sylvia Day This is actually a bit naughtier than 50 shades but very similar and if you are having withdrawals I can really recommend :) Playboys (Mills &...

Looking fab in the photos xx

Day 1 Had my weigh in yesterday and it wasn't pretty. I was totally honest with CDC telling her that my little blip ended up with me falling off the wagon for a couple of days!! She was dissapointed to say the least! she is lovely though and was very supportive. So we had a long chat about...

Lovely to hear from you willpower woman, you sound just like me especially in the parent department, we can do this I know we can xxxx

On a more positive note went to see Prometheus at the cinema ~ was very good. xx:devilangel:

Go for it hun, you will have the last laugh, looking great in both your photos xx

Grrrr had (having) a blip today. Not my first blip on this journey but still annoying. Why is it when we do this its never..oohh Im really craving a salad im gonna go off and eat one!! Oh no its always something worse. Im not going to go on a long road of self loathing just gonna jump back on...

Im good thanks hun, Mr grey would be lucky to have any one of us xx

I love my job, was getting ready to haul my sorry ass out of bed for my last nite shift when they rang and offered me annual leave because the unit is quiet. i jumped at the chance. Was really not feeling motivated to go. So im in bed nibbling on my bar with a black coffee wondering what to do...

Congrats on the new size 14's will fit you in no time. As for your boyfriend he is lucky to have you and is probably feeling a little unsettled at the moment knowing his girlfriend is going through an amazing transformation. If only there was a Christian Grey for everyone, will normal men ever...

So sorry to hear someone was mean to you leaE. some people are pathetic. You are doing wonderfully, the size 14's are beckoning you xxx

It's going to be a loong nite shift, just eaten my bar ( choc orange) which was lovely but there is a big tin of cupcakes on the desk!! What is it with this new craze for cupcakes?? It's like they are calling me, the more colourful the more they are calling lol!!?? I have a tetra left to go and...

Thanks ladies Im really pleased with losses so far. Currently on nites which are going better than I expected. I thought I would be senseless with hunger as this is my usual state of affairs on nites. I think it must be the lovely ketosis in action. I snack terribly on nites normally. As for...

3lbs off today YaaaaY. On nites this week gonna be tough as nites is a bad time for me but we'll see.

Well learned a lesson today. After a course I was doing finished today went to see a friend on my old ward who had a letter and parcel that had been delivered to my old flat. I had some really bad habits in my old job! After work I used to go to McDonald's and pig out basically, this happened...

Thanks Sia! I really feel different about things this time.I'm not sure If its because I felt so awful on holiday thats its finally given me the motivation to stick to it. I'm very aware its only early days though. Had a looong tiring day at work. I think because my mind is so taken up with my...

Good luck Meg. I think the key with bad breath is to drink plenty of fluids, i know there are some mouth sprays you can buy also but not sure what they are called because ive never used one but sure youd get one in boots. xx

Absolutely love The Game of Thrones books xxx

Feeling motivated this evening, hope I can keep up the momentum. I think one of the only problems with this diet ( and probably any) is that it makes me grumpy sometimes. I was really mean to my brother earlier on, for no good reason and about stuff that really doesn't concern me. He's good...

Brilliant loss again Blond well done xx

Thanks Megs. Got weighed this morning and I'm 6lbs down:D. Thats a total of 9lbs so far since i got back from holiday. YAAAAAY !!!

Day 5- its the end of my 5th day and im shattered. had a long and busy day at work but the plan went well. I took my chicken salad -had it at lunch got to say it was lovely. It didnt trigger off a massive binge or any hunger so im very optimistic that this could work however im aware that this...

Well done LeaE xxxx

Hi Blondlogic! i did LL in 2008 and read your diary whilst doing it and found it to be such an inspiration! i lost 5 st which was the best feeling. Same as you though for whatever reason I lost my way with food again so am back. This time also doing Cambridge determined to get back to me. I...

Good morning all!! On day 4 now, just got up and pee'd on a ketostix that my CDC gave me which came up a lovely shade of pink. Im starting to feel a bit exited and positive that i can do this. Its lovely to feel less bloated and weighed down. Ive just done 2 long days at work which weren't too...

leaE, you are doing brilliantly well, you look gorgeous in your photo xx good luck for weigh in. i absolutley loved the 50 shades books. i think ryan gosling would be good, ian sommerholder or I am rooting for alex skarsgard (AKA eric the vampire). I cannot imagine who they will get to play Ana...

Thanks Monky and good luck with your journey. So this is day1 again for me boo hoo!! I fell off the wagon on Tuesday. I was invited to a Diamond Jubilee party, I had been totally undecided what to do but deep down i knew I was going to eat. My original plan was to start yesterday so that the...

I think as long as you don't expect too much in terms of the quality of writing and you love a romance then you will love it !!

Apologies for duplication of the second pic!!

I thought i would add a couple of photos of myself to the diary to remind myself why I'm doing this. This was taken on holiday with my Mom 2009. I'd just finished Lighterlife and felt great. I know I can achieve this again. I was about 10.7 here. This is us again this March. I was between...

Thanks girls, your losses have been brilliant and inspiring, we can all get there together. I think the diary process will really help in the long run and reading others. Im currently wading through LeaE and Spangles both very inspiring.:girlpower:

Thanks Mini xx

Day 3 - Work wasnt as bad as I thought it was gonna be in terms of getting to drink the water. I managed to have a bottle each break time without running to the loo ! just felt really yuky with a sore throat and cold but i cant blame that on the diet!

Day 2 nearly over and again it hasnt been to bad. Its definately helping to focus on one day at a time rather than worrying about upcoming events. As stated in my earlier post im worried about work tomorrow but gonna just try and stay focused and remeber why im doing this. The family had a pork...

I'm starting to get a bit worried about tomorrow and figured there are lots of lovely folks on here who have probably had similar experiences and can give advice. I start back at work tomorrow after a 2 week break, im new to the job and really want people to like me. I work as a nurse on...

Currently on page 7 of your diary and really enjoying it, will read it bit by bit throughout the day xx

Thanks ladies i will check in later after I see how day 2 goes xxx

Good luck with the weigh in, sounds like you're doing really well xx

Day one is nearly at a close and all in all it hasn't been too bad. A couple of things happened that would normally see me reaching for some food for comfort. Firstly I managed to leave the freezer door open last night and all the stuff defrosted. if it was my food it wouldn't be so bad but at...

I have decided to give the VLCD thing a go ONE last time. When I told my Mom she said the last time you gave up smoking was the best one !! I decided then that she was right. It took me many attempts to give up smoking but I did it in the end. I did lighterlife initially in 2008. I started at...

Im sneaky I've been reading them on my kindle, i did see someone reading it in the canteen yesterday :)

I sure wouldn't turn him away !! ;-)

I think its definitely a guilty pleasure !! xx

I think it is like Twilight in that you will either love it or hate it. It is in the erotic fiction genre, I have enjoyed it as much as the twilight series because its light, ive found it entertaining and romantic. HOWEVER, as I said it is erotic fiction so its not suitable for the younger age...

For my works leaving present I got vouchers so got myself a Kindle (which I love). Number 1 on the bestseller list was 50 shades of grey by E.L James.So I thought I would see what all the fuss was about despite some of the terrible reviews on Amazon! Well I'm hooked, it certainly will not win...

Thanks guys i'll give amazon a go.

I read a book a couple of years ago and am desperately trying to remember what it was called. The plot that I can loosely remember is a girl who is down on her luck meets a rich guy who basically offers her a pretty woman type of set up. He buys her nice things etc and she is his 'girlfriend'...

Congratulations!! That is an amazing loss. I really hope this time next year I'm starting a similar thread xx

Thanks xx

Does anyone possibly know the pp in restaurant/hospital sachets of salad cream ?? Many thanks xx

Thanks xx

Hi guys, could someone please confirm that ww bagels are free on simply filling? Thanks xx

Great thanks Xx

Lovely thx I will look for the puffed wheat and try that.

Another query, can we use activity points like on the regular plan? I don't plan to actually use them but think would be handy as a back up. I've just started Zumba and just jhoom and was wondering if anyone knew what points would be earned from an hours session ? Thanks in advance xx

Hi all, ive been looking at this thread for a while and think this diet is definately for me. Ive been flip flopping between ww,sw and lighterlife for years. This diet seems to take the best aspects of ww and sw and combines them! I love Oats so simple but was just wondering what other...

You have done brilliantly, well done xx

That is truly inspirational:) Congratulations.

I'm currently reading the Song of Fire and Ice series by GRR Martin. I'm about 4 books in and absolutely love it. I would really recommend to fantasy fans.

I really cannot praise Tad Williams Otherland series. I think it falls into to the sci-fi / fantasy category but it really is a brilliant read. There are about 6 or so books in the series ( been a few years since I read it).

Ozziemoz ~ I really loved the Dark Tower series, I think it is one of my favorite books of all times. Im going to try Jasper Fforde on everyones recommendation. :D

Minerva, hope everything is going OK for you and you still have your focus. I have decided to have a little break from lighter life at the moment because I just cannot seem to stay abstinent for more than a couple of days at a time. Hopefully i can maintain what I've achieved so far and come...

I'm going to Marrakech for a long weekend at the end of the month. Two weeks after that I'm off to Portugal for a week:D My aim is to stay focused right up until holidays and then get straight back on afterwards. I'm an EQ2 player :D xx

Amazing, well done xxx

Congratulations on your amazing losses!! I will join you as well. I am desperately trying to focus my mind to stick to this diet long enough to get to goal for once. same as Minerva im also going on holiday this month. I'm really trying to take it one day at a time as I find that helps, rather...

Hi I'm new to this thread but will post some of my faves to perhaps give you some ideas. TAD WILLIAMS - Otherland series. One of the best series of books Ive ever read in the sci-fi fantasy genre. CHARLAINE HARRIS- Sookie Stackhouse Series for my vampire fix. KAZUO ISHIGURO- Never let...

I've been lurking around the forums for a while getting some great inspiration from all the great posters here but now I feel that I need some extra support. I did Lighterlife in 2008 and lost 5 stone relatively easily. I never lapsed was really focused and found it a breeze. What I did do...
