    Bad foods you love - avoid altogether?

    Finally managed. Don't know what problem was with all my double clicking. Off to calm down with a cup of tea. This may have succeeded in putting me off HBT for life :sign0007:

    Bad foods you love - avoid altogether?

    Thanks Blonde Logic! I've been clicking all over the shop though and I don't seem to be able to find what you're meaning. It's haunting me now. Think I'd have been happier if I'd eaten the toast :( Live and learn as you say. If I ever figure out how to change it I will.

    Bad foods you love - avoid altogether?

    Sorry Miss Bettany - I seem to have made a faux pas - I'm not on RTM yet and genuinely had a toast moment this evening so thought I'd seek advice. Humour generally helps me deal with food but I may have been thoughtless listing my actual food concern. Apologies.

    Bad foods you love - avoid altogether?

    Sandra - wow - amazing weight loss!! Congratulations!! And thanks for the advice. I already know that I simply can't eat part of a take away pizza so I must bid them farewell in my new lighter life, but toast will be part of my everyday. Ho hum. When I'm due a foodpack though and I'm hungry...

    Bad foods you love - avoid altogether?

    I'm seeking the advice of anyone who's post-diet and managing their weight. My specific situation will soon be 'route to management' on LL but I think this applies across the dieting board. How do we cope with foods we know are no good but which we LOVE? Is the general consensus 'a little...

    Give me the benefit of your wisdom!

    Yes! I've been messing around describing it as miso soup/chicken-slim-a-soup but you're right. It's just a stock cube!! If the last thing i had was a sweet shake then it feels almost like another course (ok not really, but it's a totally different taste and it doesn't count as food). I've...

    I found the savoury drink helped when I felt twitchy for food but it wasn't time to eat. That's great that you're half a stone down and only at the start of week two. Well done! Clothes feel better? I had to lose almost a stone before the jeans I'd been living in actually fitted - made me...

    Thanks for info Tange! I have been holding off on my red bush but it's so much nicer black than regular tea. I'm off for a cup now :)

    Thanks SFA, and let me know how you find the days with no bars. I'll let you know if my next weigh in is in any way different to all those weeks with bars. What week are you in?

    Next questions: Is Red Bush tea allowed on LL? And what about white tea? And (oooo I know it's not allowed but why) what about Coke Zero?

    Give me the benefit of your wisdom!

    I am with you there. The bars, once I'd introduced them day 4, made me hungry sooner. But then I also really enjoy them. I have also tried eating them on the go or when I meet people at cafes and restaurants, popping a chunk into my mouth every now and then. I can spin it out for the best...

    And Jellybabie - does that mean your brother knew the guy who was in all those great photos by the door... this is me and Michael Jackson, and here I am with Lulu, oh yeah and this is me and Diana Ross... fab.

    Thanks Twinny - you know I looked at your weight loss and thought, yeah but you lost over 2 stone in only 8 weeks... then I realised that so have I!! Have taken a major chill pill since last week and am seriously planning on slipping scales under bath and just waiting for meetings. And...

    NEWS: Announcement made at group about WATER CONSUMPTION

    Weird. There's a lot of inconsitency there then. Mine did, yours didn't. I'll maybe have a look at their website. Bound to be an announcement. Will get back if I have anything to report!

    Hi Jellybabie - I'm in Edinburgh, although spent a few years in Glasgow living beside Mitchel Library. And that fantastic Indian restaurant, what was it called, it burned down I think, Mother India? So is that nine pounds in nine days you've lost? Fantastic!

    Saturday - hour X hour

    Boo to working on Saturdays. Hope it passes quickly for you. Weekend shaping up as: continue to sit in pjs waiting for Toys R Us delivery because I didn't shower early enough and now am worried I'll miss doorbell if I do shower. They'll think I'm a lazy cow! But must take delivery of In the...

    Hi looking to start the Cambridge diet or lighter life

    Hi! I only have experience of the LL diet but like most things the groups sessions are only as good as the counsellor but you will get to meet him/her in the information session and if you don't warm to them there will be others in your area. The distance you have to travel to class will vary...

    OK that was only one day of no bar and my pee stick is pink (and for once I'm not obsessing about hCG levels!!) and I've lost 2lbs in 24hrs. Coincidence? To reassure, I kept fluid intake up so not due to dehydration concentrating ketones. I'm only 5ft3 so it's likely isn't it that if the 3...

    NEWS: Announcement made at group about WATER CONSUMPTION

    Well that's interesting you say that Mini Me because after my councillor told us I was quite happy to drop to 2.5l water plus tea and coffee and fluid in foodpacks and that felt fine but i read other posts on other threads that seem to say the more you drink the more you shrink, as it were! I'm...

    Thanks Jellybabie - you start your plan in June or just join this site in June? (ah toes tapping, during the day when no one's home I can play my Dolly Parton loud and proud...9 to 5....la la la) I am feeling much more positive getting all this great info. And thanks for ketostix warning...

    Incredible weight loss Dancing. I feel inspired. And loving that gallery of before and afters. Bizarrely because i always tried to pose in a 'conceal the fat' way for photos I cannot find a really 'good' one for before. I was too aware of not being in an awful shot. No doubt there are a few...

    Thanks so much! That got me more information in minutes than I usually glean in hours of internet searching 'ketosis and LL' 'cranberry bars and ketosis' 'slow weight loss and LL' ya da ya da ya da. I think I have fallen into the 'who wants to be a millionaire' trap. I could have given you a...

    Hi all On day 47 of LL and not entirely convinced I'm well in ketosis. Ketostix used to be dark pink before I started bars and in weeks I ate only one a week because they made me hungrier. Anyone know if a pale pink ketostick means too much water OR not much in the way of ketones? My weight...
