[Iwillgetthere]

Whoop whoop at Ally. Well done huni. You are now one of us (big loosers lol). Trust me it does get easier and the weeks fly by sooooooooo quickly. You can do this. You will get enough support and more from this site. Keep it up

 

[allymc]

Thank you !!!!!

Well ive had my first night out tonight with no alcohol , been on water alllllll night , and must admit I have not enjoyed myself all that much , think Im gonna miss the drinking more than my food !! I am abit fo a social butterfly and enjoy my nights out , being single with no kids that kinda is my life , so I think I might be stayin in for a few weeks now , dont really want another alcohol free night out !!

 

[AJB]

I'm a singleton as well and I've not been out once since I started felt it was the only way - would just give me the hump to stand about and 'be sociable' whilst everyone else was getting pissed!!

 

[allymc]

Think Im gonna have to stay in , lol !! will just have to look forward to xmas now

Will all be worth it in the end , I HOPE !!

 

[AJB]

It will be sooooooo worth it!

I've got a couple of dresses that I was gutted about not being able to wear to Xmas parties last year to remind me what this is all about! Yes I may not be able to socialise for another couple of months but at least I'll have something fabulous to wear come Xmas

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Oh it will def be worth it Ally. See being able to drop a dress size every 3 weeks - nothing beats that feeling. I started a size 28 and am now wearing a 12 in jeans and 14 in tops. Doing without alcohol gets easier as the weeks go by. My vice was alcohol, crisps and fresh bread but to be honest doing without doesnt even bother me anymore as i have come so far and just want to complete my journey with LL.

 

[allymc]

I know , Ive just yet got to the dropping dress sizes bit and I think Im still thinking its gonna be like all the other normal diets Ive done where you dont see results for aggggeeeeeeesssssss
As I know Ive lost 11 pound in my first week , people keep saying do you feel any different , can you tell etc ,, Im like NO , its only 11 pound gonna take a couple of stone before Ill be able to really see it!

And as for dress sizes , Im still thinkin that I aint gonna be dropping sizes any time soon either , but its all from past experience that sets up ya expectations really init !

 

[Blonde Logic]

Ally, think more positively.

 

[allymc]

I am tryin BL , but all my past experiences always set me up for a fall !!

I promise to think more positively woohoo x

 

[Blonde Logic]

This diet, once you get in to the 'zone' is the easiest diet you will ever do! PRomise!! Seems daunting now - but it will fly by and you will be successful!!

xx

 

[allymc]

Thankyou bl , I just hope and pray I can get to the size I want by the end of nov ! thats the time Ive set in my head , Ive got to loose 3 dress sizes and yeah I will still be over weight and over my normal bmi , but I am 5'10 and big built , size 10 feet !!! So I literally want to get to a size 16 and Ill be happy x

So guess Im just thinking I am aiming too high for 4 months ?!?

 

[Blonde Logic]

You can pretty much bank on 1 stone per month if you follow it as it is meant - ie not cheating!

 

[allymc]

Its not the stones Im watching its the sizes , lol !

Do they say a stone to a size ? or near damn as ?

 

[Blonde Logic]

yeah, roughly

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Ally BL is right - this diet - if followed 100% does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a diet like no other. I think for nearly everyone that starts LL, they are at such a low point in their lives and have tried and failed on every other diet available. With this the weight drops so quickly and that is what keeps us motivated. If you stay completely abstinent you can look forward to the pounds literally dropping off. Good luck.

 

[allymc]

Woohoo ! I will stay focused and will not be cheating , there is no point on paying 70 quid a week and putting yourself through gettin to ketosis to just ruin it for a little slip !

First day back at work today since starting LL , and I knew it would be hard as I am a catering assistant and serve food for a living ! But I been I conquered , I sat there with my porridge while everyone else had there full english and Ill be going back at 4 to start again !

God Im good , lol

just a warning over nut fudge, although they taste lovely. Try not, as like all packs, think of them as food. more as sustaining you through abstainance.

The reason I say this is that I got hooked on them, one a day for last couple of weeks and Ive had wondering thoughts about flavour and taste and texture. I have gone back to The less flavoursome and less enjoyable packs to try and get my head back on. only two nut fudges this week.
