Hi, I'm in Portlaoise. 30lbs in 5 weeks? I thought I was doing well with 18lbs in 4 weeks!

I have the porridge every day and a nut fudge bar and a chocolate shake (sometimes made as hot chocolate) and then either veg, chicken or tomato soup.

hi nikki, keep to it its definately worth it! personally i just have the shakes and a bar evey weigh in/friday night as a wee treat my favourite is the chocolate shake, putting in 150ml of water so its thicker and pop in the microwave for 1 min, instant hot chocolate and it tastes rather good
anyways, Hope you do well!

yeah it definately gets easier, i held off on the bars for the first 5 weeks until i gave in on the urge to chew aswell but there only a few extra calories so i dont mind the two a week

thanks very much, im quite chuffed actually, only a few more weeks congratulations on your weight loss too

 

[nikki10]

:wave_cry:Hello Every one!:wave_cry:

It's my day 1 on Lighter life total and i have a long way to go. It's good to see the words of encouragement posted between LL'ers!
I had porrige this morning (no too fond of that) and a vanilla shake at noon (actually liked that!)
I'm going to stick to it but having troulble getting the water down!

 

[nikki10]

Oh my god that much exercise? fair play to you i was looking at an hour walk and maybe half an hour on my crosstrainer.
thats great about the clothes too bet you feel and look great.

Hi Sarah, have you tried the water flavours from LL? im finding it ok drinking the water but i might get the water flavouring this week just to add a bit of flavour.

well i played aot of rugby before i started so i was incredibly fit for someone with my bmi thats the only reason why yeahh i do thanks just cant wait till im properly skinny

 

[nikki10]

Thats brill fair play to you,ah sure you havent long now until your super slim had the choc the way you recommended it was lovely warmed me up a bit coz im freezing (think its with all the cold water im drinking)

 

[andyfofo]

yeahh, only 4/5 weeks i think
awww well thats good yeahh i get that too, especially hands feet and nose... My LLC explains it like your body's only taking in so much, so its using what it has protecting the vital organs (torso) by priotising its central heating to make sure your torso is at a stable temperature if that makes sense

 

[nikki10]

Yeah i get ya . my hands are like ice !! how many wks in total do you do i have 14 and then 12 wks rtm she said seems ages away! will be worth it though

 

[andyfofo]

good
well the guys programs only 8 weeks, but im doing an extra 4 as a guesstimate of how long it will take to get to my target weight
im not doing RTM myself, so i only have a few more weeks

 

[mummytwo]

[mummytwo]

[nikki10]

Hi Sarah,
