Hey OTV thanks for the words of encouragement - of course call me Pym!
i think i just thought i would lose loads more but when she said 4lb i sort of thought oh!! but i am over that now
yes i do feel slimmer, the bit between my chest and tummy has really disappeared - i am very pleased, also my trousers are looser than ever!! so we will get there eventually. my sister thinks i have lost weight but she might just be being nice!!!
sorry Jodie - i just presumed ! silly me - geeks are so much better!x

Honey pls dont think u upset me, I promise u I am so so pleased for u, I know how hard the week was for you. It was me being silly but I have sorted my head out now and I am pleased with my loss so far.
Don't ever think u shouldn't post ur loss or tell us about it, ur loss spurred me on and I am back in the right frame of mind.
I am so proud of ur loss and a big big well done and a huge hug to say bring on losing the next stone

Day 19
So I had weigh in last night and all is well – I lost 3lb and was pleased – that takes the total to 11lb so far – so on the way to hopefully the stone a month I was hoping for.
The last week again has been ok – there have been days when I have been hungry – not sure why as I am trying to have the packs at timely intervals and drinking 4-5 litres of water still (its getting a tad tedious now if I am honest – but hey I still persevere - maybe time to get the flavoured thingys soon ) I am still sticking to shakes and bars and the good old porridge for breakfast, mixed the shakes around this week as I was getting bored of chocolate – got more vanilla (yummy blended with ice and some coffee) and giving the strawberry a break, finding it a bit slimey!!!
The last week I walked more – rather than just sitting at my desk at lunch I went for a 15 min walk and to be honest I felt better for it, need to keep it up this week and also am hoping to start the 30 days shred on Saturday, for exercise I think that will do for now!
Just a few niggly things, I have noticed that all but one girl in the class cheat – now some of them have meals, others salad and some say they have a mouthful of food every other day – some of them lose, others put on but one girl lost 6lb last night !!! I think there are only two of us that are actually abstinent !!! yeah it annoyed me at first – especially when they go on about it and are chuffed that they still lose but isn’t the whole point of doing this to learn why we eat or should I say overeat in my case. Perhaps I am jealous or envious that they can do it and I cant - Not sure why it bothered me but it did so I thought I would write my feelings down here!!!
Forgive me if this is too personal – but I need some advice on number 2’s – now before LL I was a 1-2 timer a day, never had a problem – always felt if I hadn’t been at least once then something was wrong, now its piddly amounts most days but not everyday – also its not solid – yes I understand i am not eating as much as I was so the waste is going to be less – but is this right ? I don’t feel constipated but do feel bloated on some days! Pls help!!!
Re social events – yes im a wimp I still haven’t been out – no I haven’t become a hermit but I haven’t exposed myself to a situation where I might eat be coaxed into eating!! – I went around a friends on Friday evening and they were all getting a takeaway – I made my excuses and left – the smell of f&c would have killed me !!! I know many people on here have written – the food will still be there when I finish my LL journey – that’s what is keeping me going!!!
So another week here I come ! looking forward to next weigh in and hoping for 3lbs to get to the 1 stone mark
Hope all is going well with you guys

Hi Pym,
Congratulations, you are doing so well. It is interesting how our tastes change for the packs as the weeks go on. I'm sure I will go off my current favourites and may go back to them again by the time I finish.
I would feel really peeved if people in my group were talking about what they were eating off plan. There is a reason why there is no food talk in meetings. Luckily my group is 100% except if they are going on holiday's. I just figure that if they eat, they are only slowing down their own weightloss, its their choice, but they shouldn't be talking about it in the group.
I wouldn't worry about small quantity of no.2's. As long as they don't get hard or go too many days between.
You are doing really well, you'll get to the stone mark before you know it.xx

Well done hon!!!! You're doing so well!!!! Not long till you reach the stone mark, and then some!!!
And well done for sticking to plan, even if your group aren't 100%. There's a reason we signed up to LLT and they're only fooling themselves and paving the way for their old lives once they're finished. If they can't stick to it now, they never will!!
You'll be doing RTM and they'll still be struggling to lose!!!
Good luck with the 30 day shred!!! The first day was a killer, but it's actually quite fun after that!! I wish i could join you!! Maybe i'll keep an eye out for when you start and give it a go!!
I find my tastes change too, as i hated the vanilla shakes, but I LOVE them at eh moment!! It's like an ice cream soda float!
Regarding number 2's, i've found mine resemble rabbit droppings more than anything, and i can go several days without thinking about it, but figure i'm peeing a whole lot more, so not concerned!!!!!
Don't worry about being a hermit!! I'm the same if i can help it! Did cinema last night with my best friend, and she didn't get popcorn so i wouldn't feel excluded, even though i had my bar - bless her!!!
For the most part i try and keep a bar or shake with me, just in case i end up in a position like last week!!
You're doing wonderfully Pym!! I hope one day we all get to meet each other for real and have a fizzy water!!! Hahaha!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Jodie - thanks hun - im also hoping you have a good week too x
re the 30 day shred and you exercising - how is the head? please dont do it unless you know you are 100%
i love the vanilla ones because they remind me of ice cream when i blend with ice, ice cream float exactly - ice cream was one of my biggest downfalls - i could live on it !! when i go back to eating i will only allow myself one scoop - no Pym not a shovel!!! on perhaps at weekends or at the cinema!
Jodie meeting up would be great - we have to support each other through this and believe me im not letting you come of the wagon - so to speak - for nothing !!! xx

Hello Pym
Have not been in the forum this week.....work and then was generally feeling down and didnt feel like socialising at all.
You have done amazingly well and u are well on target . You should be really proud.
I will give u company as will many others here on total abstinence. I have had a tough week too and have felt really very hungry at times. Have been drinking black coffee to keep it at bay Have nearly eaten a piece of fruit this week but didnt. I think in my case it the upcomming interview that is doing all this to me.
Someone in my group mentioned fresh peppermint tea and i might give it a go.
Regarding number 2...I am the same as you. It is very much because of the diet and when u start RTM it will start getting better. Nothing to worry about. Ofcourse if you are passing nothing for a few days in a row and u feel uncomfortable then you may need some help.

My head (so far) has been fine - i won't really know how it is until i try to do something else! And that's when i get the shooting pains (if they're there!) Will keep an eye on it!!
It's funny how our tastes change, but i think my downfall was always adding coffee..which i'm not a huge fan of with the vanilla, but must keep trying these things!!!
And don't you worry i don't intend on falling (or jumping!) off the bandwagon!! I'm in the completely right mindset for it and am determined. I know i did the dinner disaster, but it hasn't lessened my focus, it was just the right choice for me at the time, not because i was losing track!! Panic not!!

Hey pym!

Hey
not written in my diary for a wee while as things have been really manic, but today i have a few minutes and just wanted to put down my thoughts....
Today is day 53 - wow where has the time gone, i remember praying that pleasei would get through the first 7 days - let alone thinking i would get to day 53 with no food passing these lips!!! i am so proud of myself, sorry for the self praise but i feel amazing. i cant remember the last time i was 12 stone 10 - wow what an acheivement!!! i want to lose another 17lbs to get into a healthy BMI and then revisit if i want to lose anymore, i am very lucky and i carry weight well - not sure that is a good thing! but i may be happy at that weight or might decide a wee bit more is needed! im not sure but am thinking that if i lose another 10lbs then i will start RTM to lose the last 1/2 stone and then if weight loss goes according to the last 2 months then i should lose that in the next few weeks, so can be on RTM in December, which would be easier as i dont know how much longer i can avoid friends and gatherings etc i wont have any friends left!! i have had 3 social events that i have had to attend for the last 3 weeks running - again coped well and didnt eat but to be honest i did leave all 3 early! this weekend will be a huge test... on friday evening i have a pre wedding party and then on sunday the wedding, i wont be eating but need to do some major preparation in terms of carrying packs and water - maybe even having to have 2 bars one day for ease; it will be ok
The last few weeks are just blurred - i know on a daily basis periodically i have found the days hard, i have wanted to eat, i have been fed up but when i go class on a Tuesday and see the loss i forget how hard some of the days in the previous week have been !! i change what packs i get every week so not too get bored, usually just different flavours of milkshakes. i am not really liking the bars anymore, i usually have 2-3 a week usually the peanut one or cranberry one, bars are not my favs if i am honest, the porridge is still a fav, but i can honestly say i dont even think about it when i eat it at work in the mornings, the packs are 'life' and i dont and wont even venture in eating anything as i feel for me that will be a failure - also i want to get this over and done with; i think if i cheat, be naughty or whatever we all call it, i think for me it would slow down weight loss and for me that isnt the point of LL - if i wanted to eat then i should not be doing LL. pls dont think i am being judgemental towards any of my friends on here, i understand it is hard, but i am scared for me that if i eat or cheat then i might just never stop and get back on track!!!
Another change i have made since i last wrote is i now add the lemon powder to my water - not that i find it difficult to drink 4 litres a day, its just that it actually tastes nice and i like it and i treat it like my treat for the day.
LL is the best thing i have ever done in terms of dealing with demons in my head re food, at the beginning i used to dream about food and what i would eat when i restarted eating, it would always be some form of fatty greasy concoction, now when people ask me - i actually dream of eating fish and salad - wow how the mind can be trained. Also there has been a lot of food in the office, due to the run up to Xmas, yes i know already!!!! and several birthdays etc, i cant believe that i havent once actually felt like caving in - so so proud.
so thats 30 od days in a nutshell
i hope everyone is doing well and happy - wishing you all great weight losses and happiness

hi pym glad to see your doing great also great to read about how you are feeling, i am only in week 2 (weigh in tomorrow!) and i feel exactly as you do regarding LL, i know everyone has different ideas about LL but i feel that because im on total i should be strict with it and myself and throw myself into it, as this is what i belive to be right for me, if i wanted to eat i would have done WW/SW but i cant face it!!! also doing LL gives results soooo fast if you stick with it and its only for a while to get you to goal, food will always be there, hope some of that made sense!!! keep going girl :hug99:
Mimz, u r going to do brilliantly I can sense it. I'm glad we are on the same wavelength. I know if I stick to it 100% then the faster I can get back to normality and coping with eating and life, i can't do LL for months and months, there are some ladies in my class that pay the £72 and dont stick to it and therefore dont lose and just carry on with that vicious circle. I know it's not all about money, even though for what they are doing I think £72 a week is bl00dy expensive, but do they not just want normal life back, where they make wise food choices and enjoy good food. When I started out 8 weeks ago I gave myself 12 weeks to lose 3 stone, a stone a month as LL suggest,so the shock horror on one of these ladies face when I said to her this week that I am nearly in week 8 and only 5 to go, she couldn't understand!!! when I asked her how ling she planned to be on it - she said as long as it takes, even if it's years, she has 3 stone more to lose, having lost just over a stone in 3 months!!!!!
Sorry to ramble, even though I have enjoyed LL And wull b eternally grateful for everything I have learnt and still learning, I want to get to the stage where I can implement what I have learnt and move forward, not just be stuck trying to lose weight, but cheating all the same.
Sorry, I appreciate circumstances and that LL is difficult but i am really passionate about eating whilst on LLT !!!
