Hi everyone!
I'm in week 4 of LL but have only just found this great site!
Have lost 20.5lbs (weigh in tomorrow evening) so far but have found it a real struggle over Easter with so much chocolate around - but didn't give in to temptation! I am hoping that this site will keep me on the straight and narrow for the next 10 weeks of Foundation (and beyond).

I am at six and a half weeks and have lost just over two stone with around another stone and a half to go !
Already my life has changed dramatically... I feel so much better and can go pain free up and down stairs. When I had my medical check last week... my peak flow was normal for the first time in years , and don't need inhalers ! My blood pressure had also returned to normal ! ..... and the compliments keep flowing and that old low self esteem is soaring. Lighter Life has seriously restarted life for me.

New me !
Thanks Sun !
Tonight I started training at the gym for a 5km run "Race for Life" for cancer charity... something I would not dared have done before as I was so embarassed about myself .
Now have a fitness programme at gym plus swimming. For anyone new or contemplating Lighter Life... just do it. It's not scarey , it's not for life but it sure as hell should prolong your life !

Hi all, I'm Lex, and I'm due to start the program at the end of April. Absolutely scared senseless, so I'm lurking around on here trying to convince myself it will be fine!
Hello everyone, I'm quite new to this forum, but find it really inspirational when I'm having a bad moment. I started LL on 18 Feb so have done 10 weeks so far, losing 48lb (3st 6lb) in the process. I can honestly say it's the easiest but most effective diet I have ever done. With three littluns under five, the two hour meeting every week is like a little oasis of calm where I feel I'm really doing something for myself for a change. Everyone in my group is very friendly & supportive and we laugh such a lot, it's a real tonic. I also get such lovely compliments now, from literally everyone I see.
For those of you about to start, I just wanted to say that I didn't find those first few days very difficult at all (this coming from a confirmed carb addict who ate 5 or 6 chocolate bars a day) and I haven't had much in the way of side-effects - couple of headaches in the first week, dodgy breath and skin a bit dry. I'm sure re-introducing food in the future will be very challenging, but the benefits have been overwhelming. I would like to lose another 3 to 4 stone, and for the first time in my life feel quite positive that it's achievable.
Good luck to you all.

Confused Newbie
Hey Kayleigh, I have just found this site today and have hurt my eyes reading for hours lol. I am off to see the sister at my doctors on Friday to discuss diets as I have a rather large lump to shift. I am really leaning towards the lighter life route and as its your first week, how did you do? do you feel great now? I'm a bit scared and confused about it all and was so desperate to loose some weight was even thinking of surgery, however i'm a big chicken (more like an ostrich) anyway it will be cool to get support from like minded and experienced members of this forum, so many have such fantastic stories. You have done the hardest part, joining a group and week one out of the way, so well done you. Keep up the good work. Hope to see less of us on here soon Lisa x
