Brilliant loss Becks, I bet you're overjoyed, and congratulations on the 3 stone watershed.

 

[JessicaL]

Well done Becks!! Thats an amazing loss, certainly makes up for milk week

[thin_inside]

Brilliant Becks. You're truly back on track. Well done and congratulations on the 3 stone.

 

[Foxtrot]

Well done Becks!! That is really encouraging for you. May the next three pass swiftly!

 

[thin_inside]

Well, that's Foundation over with and a total loss of 58lb :happy036:. Now into Development and working on steadily getting through the next 14 weeks in a similar fashion. Then hopefully just one more set of 14 weeks abstinence before RTM.

Talked about setting SMART targets tonight so have set lots of little ones but the biggy of having lost the next 5 stone and being finished with RTM by Christmas. Is this realistic? xx

 

[thin_inside]

Just remembered to do this too!

Westie

U should defintiely scrap the scales at home!! 7lb sounds a whole lot more than the 1.5 you were predicting according to your own scales.... hmmmm all worked up about nothing then gal!

Big congratulations and good luck with the eating tomorrow.

 

[louale]

Hi All,
Typed up a long message to you all, and managed to delete it somehow.

Been away for a few weeks and am amazed to come back and see how well you have all done! Too many to mention (for the second time anyway lol). Wow, well done Em and Sean!

I lapsed big time, but back on track for 3 days now. Had 1st Developers meeting tonight, which I think will help keep me on track as it's sort of a new start.

Happy to say that I lost 1.5 this week, which I am pleased with.

[Sean(JSF)]

Brilliant losses Westie and TI - and Louale sorry to hear about the lapse, but great to get straight back on the bike and lose 1.5lbs, well done.

So 1st week of RTM is over with no ill effects, WI last night and another 4lb off. More than I really wanted but I know in a couple of weeks the glycogen will come back so I guess a few lb below target at this stage is probably about right.

Great to see the table (below) looking so positive

[daisydoll]

westie
- get rid of your scales girl, waaaaaaay off!!!

t_i well done

louale good luck at getting back on track

sean- you are melting away before our eyes!

we are all doing fab!

[westiegirl]

I'm afraid I have to say my scales stay lol

I only weigh once a week and they are valuable for me to see my progress with regards to body fat - that singlehandedly has kept me motivated on my slow weeks when I've seen BF drop . I must admit my negativity this week is definately TOTM and the scales also confirmed this by my BF reading dropping 3% in a week - a sure sign that I was retaining water (which I resolved by taking Aquaban hence a good loss last night). My scales are completely in synch with my LLC's so I promise not to moan again

TI the 7lbs was over 16 days and the 1.5lbs was just one week at home (I wasn't very clear, sorry)

Well done everyone on their losses, and well done Sean on your first week on RTM I started LL Lite last night and so today is my first day with a meal

Welcome back Louale, nice to see you back on track.

 

[SexyBecks1]

Well done for getting back on track after your lapse, Louale. I know how hard it is, trust me!! But still loosing 1.5lb is brilliant. Just keep going. I notice we have the same amount to left to loose so if we stay 100% now on hopefully the rest will come off quicker.

What a fantastic result T_I. A total of 58lb is a remarkable amount to loose is just 14 short weeks. Bravo!!

Westie, OMG! 7lbs is great. I bet you didn't think you would loose that much on you're first week on Lite. Maybe it is the kick start your body needed to get the last bit of weight off.

See Daisy, that wasn't as bad as you thought was it? I'm sure next week you will have a good one too.

Sean, what a transformation. You look so different to your before pic. I wish you all the luck in the world on RTM, althought I am sure that you will be just fine.

I am feeling great at the minute. I am at the stage when I walk past a window and catch a glimpse of myself, I have to do a double take!! Bring on a size 16!!

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Keep up the hard work guys, it is really starting to show now x x

 

[susianna]

Well done Becks, wow 5lb!!! Also TI and Westie .... great losses girls!

Glad you are back on track Louale!

I managed 4.8lb this week so am very happy with that but have a few health issues as my iron levels still are not back to normal despite 2 months of strong iron tablets, which is contributing to my hair falling out in handfulls which the doctor says is down tho the stress on my body from the diet but also due to the iron. Blood pressure a bit low so feeling dizzy too and noticed my gums are bleeding and still constantly freezing .

So ... have got alot of thinking to do this week as I am considering goint onto RTM as for me this is the backbone of LL and I don't want to get to the point health wise where I have to give up altogether and not be able to do RTM. I still have 2 st to go tho although have gone from a size 22 to 14/16 which I am really pleased with.

Oh dear... decisions decisions.

[Sean(JSF)]

Thanks for the positive strokes everyone, I'm grinning like a fool!

Susianna, as you know you must look after yourself first and foremost. If RTM feels right, I'm sure it will very quickly help bring your body back into balance. I wouldn't stress about the extra couple of stone. Why rush?

If you learn on RTM and get fit, then there's always time to lose the last couple of stone later on, either this year or next, on LLLite, or any other diet plan.

I said elsewhere that the 'problem' with abstinence is it's so easy and the weight loss so rapid that there is a huge temptation to think it's now or never, and to want to stay on it forever. Deep down though we all know this is so not the case.

Good luck whatever you decide Susianna, we're all here to help and support in any way we can.

 

[daisydoll]

susianna
sorry to hear things are tough at the moment. as sean says you can always return to LLL after RTM. Have you done milk week - i feel so much better - no more dizzyness after doing mine last week

daisy x

 

[susianna]

Thanks Sean & Daisy, I agree I have to put my health first so I think the decision is made really, will discuss with LLC but she is ill at present so will talk it over with her next week but obviously have to take doctor's advice over that.

Tried one with milk Daisy and just couldn't stomach it.

I think some of the problem is that although the packs have the daily recommended amounts of vits and iron etc, you loose some of it apparently if you are taking laxatives which I have to do and have been doing so since about week 4 or so as just don't "go" otherwise.

Thanks for your support!
