thanks gals. I did consider WW but I think maybe food needs to be taken out of the equation, I know Ive said that before! I dont even wanna diet/lose weight at the minute, Im only doing it cos my bridesmaid dress wont fit me in August. Not wanting to do it isnt helping! x

Hmmmm im sceptical about LL. My friend done it a few years back and lost 4 stone in months! But she only maintained that weight for a short period of time as the re-introduction to food again just didnt react well with her body. I personally don't believe its a healthy way to lose weight- its just a short term fix.
Whatever you choose to do i wish u all the luck possible but i really do hope u re-consider how well ur doing on SW even if it is slow at least your learning how to eat healthy.

thanks niknaks, yer i know that a lot of people who do it put weight back on, but thats the same with any diet, I lost just pver 3 stone with SW stopped doing it for bout 5 months and put back on a stone and a half almost without noticing it! I think I'll give it a shot and see what I think, well thats if I get approval from docs.
yer Ive got the dress, its a size 16/18, but the lady in the shop said that the sizes arent accurate to normal sizes, dunno if others have heard that. she said its prob more like a 14/16. when i tried it on it wasnt tooooo far off fitting (maybe a couple of inches) but looked lumpy bumpy. I didnt want to get it but the other BM wanted hers and bride was worried we wouldnt get the ones she wanted nearer the time xxx

I couldn't agree with you more there Niknaks!
Rainbow hun, you are clearly not in the zone to 'diet' so I can't see you having the drive for something like LL which requires a very focussed head space.
As you know, I frequently slip out of the zone but while I am still living the SW way (even when I consider myself to be 'off plan') the most damage I am doing is gaining a few lbs or maintaining. As long as you are at least trying to stay on plan the damage will be limited whereas if you completely go off plan you can do a lot of damage! There are no half measures with VLCD's, you are either on it or not.
Personally I would say it's better to stay within the lines of a healthy plan even if you aren't following it to the letter than attempting something strict that may confuse your body and ultimately make you gain more.
That is just my personal opinion and of course you will make the decision that is right for you and we will all support you in that decision x

Who is the designer? My dress was Italian so it was size 20!
I dont know the designer, I'll look tomorrow when Ive un zipped it out of the bag!! It wasnt expensive so its prob no one anyones heard of (I think I recall the woman in the shop saying it was American- dunno what that equates to)
I know bout being in the zone and i think I need the push or it being all or nothing, with SW or WW I can do it half heartedly and not get anywhere, or not get far, or lose the odd bit, but whereas with LL I will need to focus or else I know it wont work, and to add to that it will cost a bomb so it will be a total waste if IM not going to stick to it! x

I agree with you hun sometimes you have to totally take food away to be able to get what we want, I was the same and did cd from June 08 until end of Nov08 and lost 5st. After a VLCD all your food habits are gone and you reintroduce the new foods you want to eat and make new healthier habits.
Good luck hunni.xxx You can do it.xxxx
