Ahhhh!! Flippin 1 pound again (see sig!) ...am going to ring LL tomorrow to ask if any of my meds may make a difference. Despite disappointment I did drink 4 litres by group (normlly only had 2 by then) and that may explain it, plus when you work out on a weekly basis I've still lost 3ibs a week so important to keep it in proportion! I aint going nowhere but feel frustrated for obvious reasons!! Inch loss overall is 10 1/2 ibs so not bad pus I look & feel thinner! Have NO intention of cheating & when I do tell that old "chatterbox" to f-off! Yahoo, cooking on gas, despite a teeny loss!

ISOM - I can understand your feelings of frustration, I've got to be honest and say that I would have them exactly the same. I think it's a good thing if you do ring LL as it may be something in your meds. The water before group I do believe makes a difference, I try to drink about the same each week as an average.
It's a credit to you that you do ignore your chatterbox, you really are determined.
Stay strong honey

I lost 3 lbs last night.
ISOM - sorry that you are feeling so frustrated but I'm sure it will start moving more quickly again. I saw a thread on another forum the other day about plateauing and a few people said they had short periods where they lost nothing at all and their LLC said it was water retention but eventually their weight caught up again. I hope that's the case with you.

Hi all & as always thanks for the encouragement - couldnt do this witout you lot! Found out why I've had crap losses (see boards) so thats good! Trying to drink loads of water but for me there is a limit plus want to be careful not to drink too much! Plus when I'm out & about there is a limit to what you can have!! Hope you're all ok?

You're very brave ISOM - I have a phobia about hairdressers - haven't been to one for more than 20 years (weird I know). I'm sure you'll enjoy the results - everyone I know loves having their hair done. Hope the WI tomorrow goes well - you deserve a more encouraging number. It will come eventually I'm sure. You have done so well during a very difficult couple of weeks.

LOL ISOM - I think you mean you hope you've lost more than a pound this week I hope you have too - keeping my fingers crossed for a good loss for you.
I'd recommend getting your hair cut off, I got mine cut off about 3 or 4 weeks ago and it's the best thing I've done (well apart from this diet). It now just about sits on my shoulders and it's layered and I curl the edges of a morning - I love it.
All going well here - I've got weigh in tomorrow too. I'll be happy with anything over 2lb as that takes me to 3 stone gone :bliss:

Hi all, good luck with your weigh ins this week.
I had my WI on Monday & lost another 4lbs whopee.
That brings me to 40lbs, just 2 pounds away from 3 stone in 8 weeks.
ISOM I do hope your WI is better this week, I got my hair cut a few weeks ago & it made me feel so much better.

I started LL on 24th March, and will have my 6th weigh in since the initial meeting tonight. I started a couple of days late as I had a work conference to go to and I didn't want to start off failing.
So far I have lost about 40lbs, by my own scales, 38lbs by the LLC's. I reckon between 23 & 30 more to go.
So far I have managed not to cheat at all, although there are days where I don't manage to have all the foodpacks. I'm hoping that this doesn't have too much of a detrimental effect on what I'm doing. I do manage to drink between 12 and 16 pints of water a day. That is the easy bit for me.
I'm hoping that I'll be in the abstinence stage for another 5-6 weeks at most, but I know that it may take a bit longer. I'm lucky that the weight comes off a bit quicker for me than for a lot of you ladies, but I'm not taking any of that for granted.
It's clear from this thread that you're all doing really well. It's brilliant to see that so many people are finding this difficult but are determined to do it properly and get to where they want to be. Well done everyone. It's heartening to be able to read people's thoughts on the very things that I'm going through too. I'm glad I discovered this forum.
Good luck everyone.

Well done ISOM. That's really good news. My official WI showed a loss of 3.5lbs. I'm fairly happy with that although I would have liked it to be more. Have to keep going though.
Well done also Mandy. 7.5 is cracking!
