Hi Tia,
Tell yourself you are eating. You are eating your packs, and I take little bites of my daily bar when I want to chew something. I always keep about 2 inches of bar to have last thing at night when I have the munchies.
I'm in this for the long run also, I just keep reminding myself how I want to be able to wear my jeans again by xmas, and how much better I'll feel in the spring when I reach goal. I've been so unhappy for the last 7 years overweight that 7 months isn't so long really.

WII Fit sounds fun. One day I'll invest in a games console as the new fitness games sound great for the winter when the weather is horrible and the daylight is short, and I won't get out to a gym.

Hey everyone!!!
Tia, sorry you've been finding of hard of late. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a never-ending loop of self destruction and quick as a flash the feeling's gone and all is ok again.
Do you know what it was that triggered you to eat!?
I think you're doing fantastically and you should be proud of yourself for losing what you have!!
Draw a line and start again, just try to identify any triggers so you don't slip again!!!
In other news, my darling boyfriend and I had a photoshoot for my birthday and it was great fun!!! Haven't got the disc of images through yet, but managed to take a quick pic from the proof sheet!! Can't wait to get them!!!
Just wanted to share as I'm in love with them right now!! Haha!
Anyway, must sleep, I'm volunteering tomorrow at hospital! First shift so can't wait! Night! Xxxxx

What a gorgeous couple you are.
Hi all. I havnt been on here for a while. Ive just completed week 5 on lighterlife and I've lost 19Ib so far. Really pleased with myself. I officially do lite but tend to do a mixture of lite and total throughout the week. Usually I'll do a day of lite then the following day I'll do total. Works for me x
Well done on losses every one - GORG photos Jodie, you look fab!
Little mrs, that sounds interesting, I think I might think about trying that, I'm struggling with wanting a dinner at the moment bu don't know if I should just persist with total??
Eighth weigh in and am half way there so not sure if I should just keep going with total...

Jemima I tried total and completed week 1 but felt it was too brutal seeing as i wanna lose about 2 1/2 stone in total. So went onto lite but don't wanna eat every day cos I make sure I stay in ketosis all the time so don't have enough of an appetite to eat each day. I've been losing 3Ibs a week for the last 3 weeks whilst eating probably 3 or 4 meals a week x

Thanks ELAB and Jemima!!
i do like the sound of doing a day of each, and i guess whenever i eat out i make the same choice, so that i stay in ketosis....though i think i want to lose weight more than i want to eat!! I still have a while to go till i'm happy! xxxx

Congrats!! That's really fabulous!!! Huge well done hugs! 
Had a very rough week last week and thought fella and I were on the outs, but he finally stood up for me and us, and we ended up meeting friends in Coventry and stayed over. A momentary "blip" in forgetting my bar and being practical spiralled into RC saying "too late now" and naughty OH saying we should celebrate with friends, so I did.
Still, back to normal and being a hermit again, barring work, so much easier!!!
Will let you know how I get on on thurs xxxx

Hi - I'm still here, lost another 2.5 this week, have been doing more LLL so pleased with that but think I will go back to total as I'd like to be finished by Christmas and on management, which really isn't that far away.
Have had to buy lots of new clothes in the last week which is an amazing feeling, I haven't been this weight in YEARS!!
Well done on every ones losses, everyone is doing brilliantly.... Feels like we've been doing it for ages but amazing how fast the time flies!
