Cambridge or Lighterlife ?? as a veggie! - Page 2 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Yes, I'm definitely not counting it out, just want to see how I get on first to be sure that I can cope with the walking before taking on something else - hopefully I will (I should) lose weight and tone up with the walking but I will still hold the Cambridge/LL in mind.

Can imagine the rugby being good fun, I always fancied giving it a go but never got round to it. I've not been able to go to the gym for a few months as I've really done my shoulder in (seeing specialist early Nov) and it's really knocked me for 6 gymwise but I'll get back there in time.

Katie Id love to do that with you 2 ar eyou doing the london event?? wanna do it together?

Happily, I'd be glad to, will need all the moral support on the night that I can get - would be excellent if those doing it could meet up at some point or as you say do it together.

Just chiming in - I have no idea if LL is veggie friendly - there's only one meat flavoured soup (chicken) but you'd obviously have to check the protein etc. Maybe email them through their website and ask?

I chose LL over Cambridge because of the counselling aspect - I have a lot to lose so the fast weight loss of either drew me - but in the end, once you've lost it, you've got to keep it off, and the counselling sessions hopefully show you how to change your eating habits and thought patterns and show you why you've got where you are - so that was what clinched it for me. I really want this to be the time where I get this under control and keep it that way!

Anyway. I'm only on day 12. The first week was hard at times, but this week's been a lot easier and I'm genuinely hardly ever hungry on it.

Good luck, whatever you decide to do

Thanks Caz, I'm glad it's going so well for you, you're doing brilliantly with 13lb gone - you must be made up
