Yes. You can.
Hi Steph and welcome to LL and Minimins!! Two great choices!
Sorry you are struggling already. It is tough, but it's important you find a way now, in the early days, to get through the days without lapsing. Do you kinow why you are lapsing? Is it emotions triggering it? Fear? Boredom? If you can try and pinpoint whats causing it to happen, perhaps you can then have a plan for the next time you feel tempted.
The main thing to remember - is you have chosen to do this diet. When we realise we made that choice, consciously, for us and no one else, it helps make it seem more enjoyable.
I would suggest taking it one day at a time until you find your groove - which you will.
When you make a promise to friend, or family - or your job, etc., I bet you keep that promis, ay? Well - try this - make a promise to yourself, each morning when you wake up, that you will stick to the diet that day, because you DESERVE to reach your goal and be happy and healthy. ANd then do it. By the end of the day you will feel proud that you treated yourself as well as you treat all the others in your life. SOmething a lot of us have not done for a long time.
Then, find somethings to distract you when you feel tempted. And CHANGE THE CHANNEL. You are by now in ketosis so you know the hunger you might be feeling at times when you lapse is not real hunger. So turn it off. Find something enjoyable to do. A bubble bath, manicure, walk, good film, anything you enjoy that will take your mid off thinking you are hungry.
Its as much changing our mind as it is our eating habits.
Hang in there - just keep keeping on, make and keep those promises to yourself (you're worth it!) get focused and don't let anything break that focus. This is for you.
Good luck!!! You CAN do this!!!

Yes. You can.
NEarly 10 pounds in two weeks, and you are afraid you won't lose? On 500 calories a day?
You are doing GREAT!!!
As long as you are following the diet completely, there is NO WAY You willnot lose. ANd there is nothing to get dissappointed about too as your body is going to deal with this diet however it will.
Have faith.....if you are doing the plan, the weight will come off in shed loads. You will have high weeks, and low wweeks, but it all adds up, is all quicker then any other diet I've done.
Don't worry - nearly 10 pounds in 2 weeks is an amazing loss. That will be as tone by the end of the month. Who could ask for better then that!!!
Cheer up! You are doing great!!!

Struggling Woman
I have been doing LL since April and have been in development for a few weeks but am now struggling as i have started to pick on the bad foods (carbs) i have lost 46lb so far and want to lose another 17lb to get my to my goal. Would going into RTM be better then staying in development as i can learn about introducing the good foods back into my diet but i'm not sure how to kick the bad habit i have got into. I seem to be spending money for nothing at the moment i'm very upset with myself as i can't seem to get motivated anymore i also think i have come out of ketosis and don't know how to get back on track. I definitely don't want to go back to my old ways but don't know what to do anymore i've tried talking to my LLC but don't seem to get anywhere. :cry::tear_drop:

Your welcome Susu
As long as you are 100%, then take no heart what the scales say, as your body will catch up, one way or another. I have been wholly abstinant the whole time as well, and the last few weeks I have had only OUNCES lost!! talk about maddening! But I don't sweat itbeause I know its ot because anything I did - but rather my body doing as it will, which is totally out of my control.#
SOon those pounds will be adding up like crazy for you!!

TICKER FACTORY
Hi GG
When you create your ticker you need to save under the pin to edit tracker( See below)
If you dont do this when you first save your ticker then it wont let you up date.
hope this helps.
This weight loss ruler can track your weight loss towards your goal. Display your progress in pounds or kilograms.
PIN: Enter your PIN to edit your ticker

Yes. You can.
Hi Mini
You just need to build up your posts - once you hit I think 50, you get more signature privaleges.
Try to favourite band, or word association game threads or something like that - that will boost them up in no time!

Started LL July 15
Hello LL Ladies,
Just read through the past six weeks of posts on this thread -- I think all of you ladies are fab.arty0011: I have been able to get through the first 10 days :clap:and be abstinent from food. Amazing. I have lost over 10 pounds, so far.
I replied to Shellbell (with a typo) -- the soups have more milk product in them than the shakes. If the soups make her more ill, then she might be lactose intolerant. She can probably get a recommendation from her GP on a product to help with digesting the lactose. In the U.S. you can buy Lactaid. You can become lactose intolerant at any age. I am glad that she hasn't let the challenge put her off pursuing her goal.:happy036:
