Most of us in our group have had tough weeks - they pop up here and there and they really are a struggle.
I'm on week 16 and I've had a couple of those weeks, where I was really fed up with the whole thing and hungry. Luckily they passed and I get back to normal.
The thing is, that before we did LL most of us would have had off weeks anyway, weeks where we feel down or grumpy and hungry. But on LL I feel like we notice them more.
We're entitled to have down weeks, we can't be happy and singing all the time.
You will have the odd week of losing less, I've had odd weeks with only 1lb loss, some of my group have had weeks where they lost nothing. Our bodies are funny and don't do things we expect, you'll probably get weeks where you lose loads more than normal too. So it all balances out.
Milk Week is a week that you do every 12(?) weeks. NICE guidlines say that on a VLCD like Lighterlife every 12th week you need to up your calorie intake for the week. LL do this with milk.
A normal LL day is around 500kcal, but on milk week you have milk to make it up to around 1000kcal.
I like semi-skimmed milk so I had to have 400ml of that a day for the week. All of our group still lost weight on this week as it's still a low calorie week.
I'm sure you'll pull through this bad week and next week will be absolutely fine. You're doing so well, keep up the good work!
