Hiyas,:cupid:
Not sure yet if Im going to be a January starter or not, I really hope so!
I have emailed my local councillor and am waiting to hear back, I suppose hoping for a response on New Years eve is probably a bit optimistic but hey I need to think positive about all the little steps of this journey.
My initial goal would be to make it through week one, I've done the first week before and after the first 2-3 days I was quite ill :9529:, I dont know if it was LL or just a bug...Once again being positive Im blaming a bug and this time the first week will be a breeze! :8855:
Mu current long term goal is to lose 5 St which takes me to the top of my healty BMI, I'll then see how I feel about my self and the journey and decide if I want to make the transition to RTM or if I have it in me to push for the final 0.5-1 St.

Lo again EmVeg,
Im slowly working my way through some of the recent posts, hoping to settle into the forums before I start scaring people with my weeping and wailing about how difficult it all is

new year resolution
I'm joining Lighter Life for the first time on 6th January. I made up my mind to do this mid December and would have gladly started there and then as I'm so desperate to get started. I'm a bit scared now though as its so close - I dont know anyone who has done it before!!

Hello there,
I am sukhi, and have started lighterlife today. Well the packs though My first class is on the 7th january.
This is all so new for me.
My shake this am wasn't upto my expectations. It didn't mix well and TBH I didn't like the taste of the vanilla and the rasberry. Any suggestions about how to do the shakes and soups.
There are great suggestions here for starters and questions to ask.
look forward to chattigto some os you.

Guess who's back...?
Happy 2009 you lot... just flying by, thought I would check in and see how you are all doing!! It feels like only yesterday that I'd set up the August starters thread - feeling all excited and fired up... it's so amazing how incredibly quick it goes by... honestly, it may drag at times, but it is such a blip so try and make the most of it!! I LOVE LIGHTER LIFE!!
I've lost nearly four and a half stone so far (one and half to go), and have had MANY MANY ups and a few downs... feel free to fire any questions at me that you like (just go to Send Message to PM me)...
Some of you will be facing your 'last weekend' of fatness (hehe)... dum, dum, DUM!... don't put any pressure on yourself... some people cut out carbs or calories in preparation, others (like me!) pigged out... and I didn't have any withdrawal symptoms - I think it's more down to the person than the lifestyle - who knows.
I'm rambling on a bit here... thinking of you all - make sure you've all taken your own before pics too... they will be invaluable once you get going, even better if you are naked/in undies... yikes... mine are horrendous!
Hugs!

I think it can take a few gos to get it right... the first few I had were, errr, less than amazing - but once I'd got the mix right, they were scrummy!!
The best thing I can recommend is buying a stick blenda... like a braun one or something... personally I find the chocolate shake doesn't get all the lumps out in the shaker (although the banana and strawberry go ok, hmmm...)...
Tip your sachet into your beaker, add enough water so it comes up about half way (don't put too much water or it gets a bit watery and flavourless in my opinion) and get shaking!! The longer you leave it, the thicker and gloopier it gets... and the most you 'whizz' it, the fluffier...
With soups- add more water... don't try and make them like a 'cream of' soup... I did that with my first chicken and almost gagged. The next time I added loads more water, made it more 'stock' like and shoved in lots of salt and pepper and it was lovely. Although veg is still my favourite, scrummy!!
You'll find some flavours you love, others you hate (for me Thai Chilli, YUCK! It's most people's fave too!!)...
And with the bars... the toffee, lemon and fruit tend to be everyone's least fave... but try the toffee one as 'biscuits'... cut into 5/6 pieces, put on plate and microwave for 50 secs (850w) or slightly less and they will bubble up, spread out and be lovely little warm, chewy treats. Mmmmm...
Ok - i'm off... xx
