Hi there all

Im starting Lighterlife on wednesday (a week behind my group due to my really slow doctors surgery!), and I'm super motivated, but think i may end up needing support.

anyone else doing this at the minute?

Hi there,

I start Lighter life next tuesday, and im also motivated!!! Im not looking forward to the first week, but im looking forward to the frist weigh in!

[anastasia]

i thought about it but the 500 calories a day would have killed me!

good luck to you both

[abbe89]

well first day today, didnt get too hungry actually!! I think the first few days you have to be quite mentally strong....so bring it on!!!

[Fat Diesel]

Thats good for a first day!!

Apparently day 2-4 is the worse then it gets better, but you get bored of the food. Im actually excited to start mine, Im pigging out though for my last bit of freedom of food!!!

When im physically strong enough again i will be doing yoga, pilates, swimming all gentle and toning exercises, i dont want to get loose skin from me losing weight too fast!

Keep us posted on day 2!

I was much hungrier today, but the pangs didnt last too long. I just keep imagining what it would be like to eat stuff, but I know if I have more stuff to do, my thoughts wouldnt keep drifting.

Its odd finishing eating and feeling ok, not stuffed as I used to.

I made the crisps today, they were nice actually!!

[abbe89]

i have got the most disgusting taste in my mouth though, no matter how much i brush my teeth.

I'll get used to it Im sure.

I went to see my cou nsellor today, to change some of my packs (i really dont like the raspberry ones!!)
I did the ketosis test, Im in ketosis which is good

I also got weighed and ive lost

get ready for this


10lbs!!!

And I only started on wednesday!!!!!!!

[Fat Diesel]

Wow!!! thats amazing!!!! Thats brillant.

The mouth taste is because your in ketosis, maybe get yourself some mouth spray if it gets too much.

What are the crisps?? I will have to look into making them. Its good that your not feeling starving.

I cannot wait to start im actually sick of eating and drinking!! Will be just the break i need.

[abbe89]

yeah i went to tescos and got some mouth spray. fun times hehe

You make one of the soups into a paste, spread it out on a greaseproof paper and microwave it. you should get a recipe sheet when you start!

[Fat Diesel]

Hows it going Abbie?? x

[abbe89]

it's going ok. i popped into my old work today to pick something up, and got stuck in traffic on the way, just outside Subway....with the wafts of that smell. drove me crazy!!

i have noticed how many food adverts there are on telly, everything seems to remind me of what im missing. But, I keep thinking about how slim I'll be, and how i can enjoy those foods when i have a healthier attitude with food.

[anastasia]

how long will you stay on the plan abbe? til you reach your goal or for a set amount of weeks?

[abbe89]

well the first part of the program is 12 weeks....i can stop then, or i have to have a week with a slightly higher calorie intake (make the packs up with milk) then i can go back onto the plan.

Im going to stay on it until I got to my goal. I don't want to be tiny. I know I won' be tiny, i have broad shoulders, huge feet and hands so i know i wont be tooo small.

a size 12/14 would be fine with me

[Fat Diesel]

Its my meeting tonight, where i get all my stuff. Already im facing the next two weekends with little gatherings, two people have invited me to their house for drinks and nibbles?? This never happened when i ate what i wanted, now i cant eat i have invitations! Its going to be soo hard.

Im going to stay on the plan until im at goal, it wont be long after the 12 weeks i dont think though, reading the magazine etc.

I think i expected to be seeing food all the time, when you banish something it becomes more noticeable! keep at it girl!
