My mum keeps telling me that im wasting away!! Which makes me feel happy. Im usually ok if i keep busy, i have found myself walking to the shop everyday instead of doing a big weekly one in the car (im on maternity leave at the moment). But then sometimes, it takes everything I have not to eat a mouthful of something. I havent had any real urge to eat a whole meal yet. Sometimes i do feel a bit irritable, but most of the time im not too bad.

Hello Lovelies
Haven't been able to get on here for a few days. Had the weekend from hell, went to visit friends for the weekend who are massive foodies. You would not believe the food I had to watch and smell being prepared and consumed. Not to mention the booze that was put away. I remained 100% abstinent throughout I am happy to say but it was the biggest challenge so far. Had the most unbelievable sicky migraine headache throughout as well. Blummin nightmare!
Delighted to be back top lovely 'easy' weekdays where the routine makes it all so much easier to manage.
Have my week 4 weigh in tomorrow - have snuck on my scales but think it will be a small one this week. I am trying to reconcile myself to realtively smaller losses and to look at the bigger picture. Sam I know you were struggling wit hthis too - like you said, when people are eating food and getting 6lb losses and you are staying 100% abstinent and gestting far smaller ones it is really de-motivating.
We just have to remember that everyone is different, that we are losing and we WILL get there!
Good luck to you all this week, and good luck with your little girl's party Mel - is it this week?

Hiya peony
was woundering were you went to poor you having all that to deal with i have had my husband off for a week and he has been cooking really nice food and we have had days out nearly every day. Sea side swimming park cinema day out in london and i have took my packs or bars on all and survived and had great fun. I used to think you could only have fun if it involved food i am slowly realising thats not the case i wont say i have not missed food because i have but last night i was sitting at home thinking about the week i have had and it made me see just how much i dont need food to enjoy life. Before LL it consumed me food was on my mind when i woke up till i went to bed always popping this and that in my mouth we are not unhealthy eatters in our house we just loved huge dinners how things have changed in a few weeks.
Good luck at weighin tomorrow and you to mel.I would like my 2lbs this week to get my stone or 3lbs would be happy with as that takes me in to my next stone under its like losing a stone over night.
take care all

lol mel, you will be a real pro by the 15th! I have to admit to cheating with mine - I bought the Tesco Value plain cupcakes but iced them myself and bought lovely decorations like those nigella lawson flowers they sell at the jane asher on line shop.
Really impressed with your attitude Sam, seriously, you have done a lot of work mentally this week and you should feel really proud.
Well keep up the good work girlees, will let you know how tonight's weigh in goes tomorrow. Good luck with yours tomorrow Mel - what day is yours Sam?

Peony - I must confess, I am having the party at a dance studio. You pay £10 per child and you get 2 hours of music (with disco lights), games, prizes for games and the food, and the party organisers do EVERYTHING!!! All I have to do is the cake!!! lol
Anything that makes my life easier is excellant value!! so i thought id better do something!!

I threw out a lot of stuff after only just over one week but the stuff a size down is still fitting quite well. Looking forward to going down another size in jeans - am in my smallest pair at the moment, a 24.Were really tight a week ago and now comfy. Here's to a few weeks when they get thrown out!

Hiya girlies
Bit gutted with a 2lb loss this week, trying not to let it get to me as I know every pound counts, but I have been 100% abstinent from the get go and after my weekend from hell at my foodie friends, I had really hoped to be rewarded for my virtue. Oh well hopefully make up for it next week.
Good luck with your weigh ins this week girls.

hey peony
you feel like i did last week but when you look at your over all loss in 4 weeks 23 massive lbs your 5lbs away from 2 stone 2 stone that is fantastic.Some one on the lighterlife site was 100% abstinent and put on 2lbs she was gutted but she stayed on it and went to her pop in 3 days later and had droped 1lb again she was gutted as she had been 100% then 4 days later went for her weighin and had lost 9lbs that made her happy our bodys are funny machines to be honest if that was me and i had put on 2lbs i would have gone to the nearest take away but reading that would make me think twice.Well done peony Mels turn now then mine tomorrow.

HI Ladies,
Well done on all your losses! Peony - I can understand how you feel. Sometimes you fell like the main fact that you said no to all that food and drink means that you should have lost double the amount lol! I had my weigh in last night and lost 2lbs. Not very happy for my second weigh in so I'm hoping that more will show next week. My appetite has definitely shrunk thought, how about everyone else??

Thanks for the support girls. You are right Sam, and I have looked at my spreadsheets and it won't impact really - and who knows what the coming weeks will bring. Also what you said about that girl putting 2 on but losing 9 later, you have to try and keep these thingsin your mind - hard though sometimes huh?
Bex you and me are in the same 2lb group - a lady last night lost 2 as well and we called ourselves the grumpy corner lol. She said it made her want to go to Maccy D's but it just makes my resolution stronger to stay abstinent and try and get a better loss next week. Here's to bigger losses for us next week - and a massive one for Sam and Mel this week.
Hugs to all, you are all superstars.

Firstly, 2lb is still a good loss!! As sam has said, our bodies are really weird things!! I cant believe that woman who had put on 2lb!! I dont think i would have been as strong as she was!!!
Secondly, I have found it so much more 'convenient' being on this diet. Not having to worry about what Im having for lunch or dinner has made things easier day to day (as wll as cutting down the shopping bill). I do get my cravings. Yesterday my 4 year old ate dinner at her friends and decided to smother spagetti bolognase all over herself.....Shes very lucky i didnt eat her!!! cos it was all i could smell until she had a bath!!
About the shape changing thing. I havent really noticed it cos I never look in a mirror, but my trousers are starting to feel a bit looser and as previously posted, i got on a pair of my pre pregnancy jeans yesterday.
Although, yesterday I felt like absolute crap - I felt really sick!! But I had a lay down for 10 mins and then I felt ok again. (i also undid the button on my pre pregnancy jeans, which may have helped relieve some pressure lol)
best go - time for weigh in xxxx

How right you are about the shopping bill we looked at 3 weeks of shopping bills on our bank statement before i started LL and it came to £600 i was shocked i never realised we spent so much on food and household bits in 3 weeks on LL we have done £70 aweek amazing saving and the £600 was not including take aways we used to have well i used to have my hubby is not a take away fan.Great news Mel getting in to your pre pegnancy jeans good luck for you weignin.
And just before i go mel dose your 4 year old go on about food all the time because my daughter never stops asking when breakfast is when lunch is and dinner and always wants to eat all day long asking for food it's doing my head in i am so frightened she is going to end up like me she is only aloud from the fruit bowl or some seeds or a yogurt inbetween meals some times the odd packet of crips or packet of animal buscuits.
