Hi all,
I've not posted in a few weeks so I thought I'd give you an update on my progress.
I've now lost 2st 7lbs so I've finally reached the magic 9 stones and my BMI is just under 23. As you may know from reading through previous posts my ideal goal was (and still is to be honest) 8st 7lbs but a couple of weeks ago, on the back of advice from my LLC I decided the time was right to move to RTM....

Hi All,
It's weigh in day today but more importantly IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! So I thought I'd post as hopefully this will be my one and only birthday whilst doing LLL. No cake or champagne for me today but it's a small sacrifice to make for the longer term benefits.

Hi All,
Just thought I'd check in .... weigh in last night and I lost a further 3lbs. Taking my total now to 2 stones 1 pound. My losses have been really slow by LLL standards but I'm getting there, slowly but surely. Breaking through the 2 stone barrier feels like an achievement in itself even if I do still have a way to go to get where I want to be. I've now dropped 2 dress sizes and my BMI ...

Hi all,
Weigh in last night was terrible. I only lost one measly pound yet again and to say it's left me annoyed and deflated would be an understatement. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong; I'm having all three packs every day, I'm drinking at least 3ltrs of water on top of a couple of cups of tea and I'm weighing and measuring my main meal, following the guidlines on what's allowed from the...

Hi All,
Weigh in last night and I lost a further pound. I know it's not billiant but a loss is a loss (and it was almost 2lbs actually but I'm only counting the whole ones!) This now takes me to 20lbs and 14.5" lost in 9 weeks, which I'm happy with. To get to my goal I have around the same again to lose in the same amount of time, so I guess that means I'm on track.

I'm feeling a bit rubbish at the moment due to TOTM but other than that everything is going fine with the plan. I seem to have settled in to a bit of a routine with my packs and the times that I have them. It seems to be working for now, I'm not hungry and Ive not been really tempted by anything so far.

Not really much to report from yesterday. Packs went fine (strawberry, mushroom and half a fruit bar) and I managed to drink 2ltrs of water yesterday. No struggles or temptations. Still not really hungry enough for that final pack of the day after having my meal in the evening with hubby but it is a little easier now that I can have bars. The only issue there is that with it been my first week...

Morning all,
I can't believe I've got to day 11 already. I know in the grand scheme of things this is still really just starting out but it's probably the longest I've really stuck to a different way of eating without having the odd 'treat' here and there. I keep thinking I'm doing something wrong as it does seem relatively easy but I think think the key thing for me is that the majority of choi...

Hi all,
Back from my weekend away and all went really well. I was a little concerned that temptation may be too much for me but it really hasn't. I planned in advance what packs I would have and also what my meals would be. As I was in a hotel it wouldn't have been practical to weigh out my protein portions so I may have gone slightly over the guidlines but not massively. I filled my plate wit...

HI all,
1st weigh in proper and I'm really really happy to have lost 5lbs in my first week!!!! I'm firmly in ketosis now so the hunger pangs have all but gone (just the head ones remaining I think!)
The session after weigh in was a bit disjointed - more of a general girly gossipy chat than anything else but the group are great and for now I'm happy just to be a part of this and discovering little,...

Hi all,
Today has been a slow day at work which has made me realise that I munch when I'm bored. Normally on days like this I would head to the coffee shop or vending machine for some snacks and mindlessly eat my way through them without really thinking. I did want to do that today but instead just had a ltr of water to make any phantom cravings go away. I wasn't really hungry of course(I'm sur...

No problems with day six. I did think that with it being Shrove Tuesday I might encounter some difficulties but in the end I just wasn't bothered. There was a moment when I really wanted some of what my other half was having but that was fleeting and I felt quite proud of myself, not only for not giving in to small temptations but that I didn't really fell the need to indulge either.

Day four went without a hitch. I was quite busy at work and felt a little hungry throughout the day but just kept downing the water inbetween a strawberry shake for breakfast and mushroom soup for lunch. I am still stuggling to fit in all three packs and have a meal too but I'm not going to stress about it or force them down. As others have kindly posted this happens to them too and they manage...

My first weekend gone and it's been ok - that's just ok. I've felt a bit tired and I've had a headache every day but I've managed to stick to it - thanks to a mound of ironing that served as distraction!
At my first session I chose a variety of all of the packs as obviously I didn't have a clue what any of them tasted like. I've been trying to fit in as many combinations across the weekend as pos...

So, it's day one and I'm still very excited about the whole thing. I only hope this feeling continues and my enthusiasm doesn't wain as the days/weeks/months pass.
I attended my first session last night and it was great. My LLC seems to be very friendly and the chat etc was very encouraging. I got to choose my food packs for the week as well as get the books and the low down on the plan. I'm ...
