Initially when I started I thought i would do a stone a month - so by the end of March to be at goal of 9st 7... I then reevaluated it to ok lets see if I can do 2 stone in 10 weeks so get to 10st 7lb by 9th march - again does not look like I will hit that.... then I said ok lets see if I...

hey - financially it is def worth swapping. ! from a taste perspective the meals are better with S&S and the bars are better with LL - Shakes are about the same. The main thing for me was the money and the fact that I was not getting much out of the counselling.. maybe give it a go for a week...

Day 57 - wow time flies when you are having fun! - NOT So I am feeling ok today - just trying to get to grips with the S&S products. I must admit I felt a bot light headed last night and I THINK hungry. I did have a larger then allowed protien piece with some cauliflower mash.. It was weird...

Well done hun!! 2lbs is great... I understand your thinking about moving away from LL - you are in CONTROL! Great minds think alike - I was just thinking that I would like to move to something like JUDDD or 5:2 for maintenance - I still have a way to go and it looks like it will probably be...

Hey - I know what you mean I have projections coming out of my ears! it must be harder with a fixed date - enjoy the gym but as Minerva rightly told me dont overdo it.. I have also heard that exercise sometimes slows down weight loss as you build muscle, but you should get smaller and more...

Hey -I did try and keep it really low key and not make a big deal out of it and the lady at M&S was very good and subtle, she left the room everytime she needed to try something on... she was embarassed but what I did was get myself measured first and try on new stuff _ i have gone down a size...

Hi - Aww thank you for your lovely message. It is so difficult as I know that I am my own worst enemy I am so hard on myself. My lovely daughter was a lot happier when she came home yesterday and she spent the evening with me huddled on my bed watching tv, she kept asking me if I was Ok...

hi not sure if I am writing this in the right place - please correct me if I am wrong. How do bars effect you? I have had bars from the first week and I am probably an "average" loser about a stone a month, however does anyone find that bars slow them down... just curious?

Hi Janice - how did your first day go....

Day 36 - Feeling a bit weak... and I have a horrid headache... last night was quite difficult- I had a stressful evening - just stuff going on with my daughter and school and the guilt of the working mum crept in... I got a bit upset and started to feel that I was not doing my job as Mum good...

Hey lovely ladies ! Thank you - LL jas become a habit and a way of life now - I not obsessing with food and I have got in to a routine ... I think my next challenge will come when I move to lite and get my taste buds back... My big issue is portion control and eating for the sake of eating...

Went to the gym and did 30 mins on the cross trainer - makin sure I kept my heart rate to fat burning only ( about 145-150 bpm) I burnt about 240 calls which is about 1/2 my daily intake ... Get home and had my last shake - feeling racked but Good !!!

Day 34 So in to another week - my weekend was pretty good, not too much to report. I met with my LLC and she has givenme the book on Lite to start to think about moving up. I have committed to stick eith Total until the 15th which takes me to 45 days and I will revisit what to do then...

Thanks Suziesue .. I am sticking with total for now xx

Day 31 - nothing really to report ... Struggling a bot though ...

Day 30 - So hit the 30 day mark. really pleased with my self. A question that i have asked my LLC is do I need to move up the plan as my BMI is now less than 28? does anyone know? I dont want to lose any muscle?? Either way time to sit down and think of some more short term goals...

Day 29 - so nearly at the 30 day mark. I have lost just over a stone and about 1 dress size. I am contemplating moving to lite? Although to be honest I am not struggling with total. I will probably just take it week by week. My aim is to hopefully start getting some exercice in - once I beat...

Try rinsing with mouthwash - I know it sounds weird but it helps me get rid of any urges .. Give it a go it might help you x

Hey I think toning exercise and exercise that don't take you in to cardio is ok - it does also depend on how much exercise you did before you started the plan - I would start off slow and listen to your body .. Both Libby and Minerva are spot on ! Just listen to your body

Hi Minerva - you talk so much sense. On my little man - I have 3 kids son 14, daughter 11 and the son who is 9. He is not a nasty boy he loves me very much and he still very much my baby! - he does not say comments in a hurtful manner at all, it is more that he makes the passing comment...

hey feeling cold on this diet is normal- especially when it it -5 outside !!! One thing I will say from experience is that if you can get through the first week it does get easier. Also you need to have yur head in the right place - else you will find that you keep restarting the first few days...

Hi - it depends on what plan you do . I think if you do total you can self certify - so you do not need a doctors certificate .. But I think you get your packs at your 1st group session.. Speak to your LLC she may sell you some packs before hand Good luck

Hi all - Well after week 1 I can record 7lbs drop which is fantastic! I am back at work today - I have already had a shake for breakfast and a bar for lunch - The pasta was OK, but way too watery... I might just stick to shakes, bars and soups for the time being... I have cancelled the dinner...

Well fine done ! Super bath sounds amazing x

Well day 7 today I jumped on the scales this morning and shows 11st 13lb - so that is about 6.5 lbs down in week 1- I am pleased as I am in the 11s again ... I had the mirena coil out today so had the day off- very painful but glad it is out !!! Hopefully all the horrible side effects from it...

Well done for getting through the day !

Hope it goes well x

So Day 4 today I am in the pink and I has my first group session. We have some lovely ladies all of us are going through different issues so it was great to chat with others. I had the shep pie today - not sure about it ? It has a very strong smell and I am not sure about the taste I did add...
