January 2009 - Starters

[EmVeg]

Great loss Sean!

And thanks all.

Does anyone know what happens after the week 14 meeting? I'm a little confused at as the meeting is the beginning of a new LL week we carry on for another week on packs (plus how many extra days until the RTM class), or whether we just get how many days until RTM.

Just trying to think what will be happening when and I have NO idea! Whoops!

 

[daisydoll]

don't know em - good question tho!

Hi everyone, I started LL at the start of feb and have been following the thread but never posted in it. so far I have lost 20lbs but I'm beginning to get bored and have lapsed a few times. I really don't want to stop LL, i'm just feeling a bit de-motivated! Help!

 

[thin_inside]

Hi Loconnor - 20lb in 4 weeks is amazing! Especially if you have been lapsing. WOw!

Remember that this diet is to help us take time out to work out how our own thoughts and emotions are causing us to overeat. This is a skill to be learnt.

Decide why you are doing this diet. What is motivating you - and use this to help you focus on staying on the programme.

Good luck.

Glad you have got your head in the right place Em you are well and truly in the "zone" now!

Sorry you are struggling loconnor but as TI said, remember why you wanted to do this in the first place and don't beat yourself up about lapsing, just put it behind you and try and learn from it and perhaps remove yourself from the situations that seem to be the common denominator when you lapse. BL posted a fab reply to Sexybecks today on the main board which was great, well worth a read and might help! Good luck with getting back on track.

Slow week for me 1.6lbs, no rhyme or reason to it as far as I know although did struggle with the water, who knows! We also did measurements again which was a great motivator as I have lost a total of 18 inches, 3 bust, 9 waist and 6 hips! Waahay!!!

Good luck for a great week everyone.

[louale]

Hi All,

Not been on for a while, been away with work so didn't get weighed last week.

7lbs off for me in 2 weeks, which I'm really happy with.

Everyone seems to be doing well with their losses, can't believe we are coming to the end of foundation already!, time does really fly on LL lol!

Sorry to read there have been a few lapses, me included! I've learnt my lesson and have decided 100% is best.

Hope you all have a good week and good luck on your losses this week.

Louale x

Well done on the losses guys... where are all our prgress pics hey.

I've just uploaded a couple from tonight - for no reason at all, just for the hell of it!

 

[Foxtrot]

And they look great Em!! Well done.

Hi loconnor and Happy St Patricks Day to you.
Sorry you're feeling a bit low. Try and re focus as the others have said. To be a bit bored for a couple of weeks or be really unhappy about your weight and how you look for months on end. Hmmm, hard choice there but I know which one I'm going for and I know you know really too!!
Today is another day, start afresh and climb back on our bandwagon and it's great you've started posting too!!

Onwards and downwards all!!

 

[westiegirl]

Well done Louale and nice to see you back.

Em, I have updated pictures in my album. I get my Bro to take some every 4 or 5 weeks

Hope you're feeling a bit better lconnor. Draw a line under the past, today is a new day. Keep posting for motivation - you can do it!!!

 

[Hellraiser]

Hi all, hope you are all well and shifting that weight , official weigh in was last night and I lost 4.5 pounds more, seeing as the weigh in is normally on a Wednesday I am pleased with that loss for 5 days, finally out of the 17's and into the 16's (stones that is), next target is to get to 15.3 where aparently I will be overweight and not obese anymore, seems strange to have my goal as 'to be overweight' lol, and loconner as susianna said, 'don't beat yourself up over the lapse, just keep going, it isn't supposed to be torture , anyway not trying to give advice as I am only a recent starter and I can only imagine how boring it must get heh heh. I guess the most important thing to remember is this is short term pain for long term gain!

 

[JazzyB]

Hi everyone - I havent been on here for a few weeks because I have been on holiday but it sounds like everyone is still doing fantastically well! Welcome to the newcomers that I havent said hi to before. :wavey:

I'm off for my weigh in tonight (first for 2 weeks) and I'm hoping that I have stayed the same as this was my target as I was kind of eating whilst away, in a RTM kind of way (but with a few extras thrown in!!!) :giggle:

I've been back on abstinence since I got back though and everything seems to be going ok. No side effects again!!

Good luck to everyone going tonight!
xx

Well done to everyone on their losses (weight and/or measurements) - Westie, Hellraiser, Louale, Susianna, Sean.

I had a slow week, but I think I can see a pattern and will expect this every 4 weeks .

At the meeting tonight I was suprised to hear that 5 (more than half of the group) had lapsed to some extent over the last week or two. It does seem to be the time in the programme where it happens. Most of them are feeling terrible and were straight back on the programme and full of remorse. A couple weren't and I suspect they will lapse again.

We had the discussion about playing games. I found this really intriguing and am now thinking of loads of times I have seen game playing in the office, at home, amongst friends.

Anyone planning on following the milk week in week 13? Not sure if I will....

 

[JazzyB]

I have just got back and lost 3lbs !! Am very happy with this as i have been away!!
The end is in sight now too!

Thin inside, dont you have to up your calories for that week if you are staying on abstinence longer? You dont want to make yourself ill?

 

[daisydoll]

5lb off for me!
really surprised - but then again, i was the other week when i STS too
not done anything different this week
2.5 stone now, a bit of a milestone.
