lighterlife - has anyone tried it

[hotbot]

what do you think - expensive waste of money or good? i am obese with a bmi of 35.2, and would desperately like to lose weight. reading about this seems to me to have ood weigth loss to be motivating - i have no willpower doing it counting calories etc and am no good with the group thing of slimming world etc

someone on the achieving thread has lost a lot of weight on it

I know 2 people who did it adn lost masses of weight BUT ddin't maintain the weight loss when they started eating

I tried it lost a few stone and put it all back on plus some.

It works for some people but not many that I know of in the long term.

I have a friend who lost 4 stone on it quite quickly but got ill and started pooing blood (sorry tmi and not entirely sure if it was related) and the minute she started eating again she put on weight - she has put on about 2 stone to my knowledge so far (she stopped in August)

oh dear.... so its not the magic charm for you guys?
twinset why did you put it back on i know its down to food but is the ounselling no good?

The counselling was quite useless tbh so once I started to eat normally I was on a slippery slope.

how are you twinset?

Good thanks, had a great break,

great - am glad you had a good xmas xx

hotbot, I think it's great - lost 6 stone on it nearly four years ago and only put it back when during a stressful pg last year. Now back on it and have lost 3 stone, 2 to go!

I can't do it any other way and it works for me.

Good luck!

ohhh, am edging towards the positive now....
thanks spongebrain. stillenacht thanks for that
i spose whatever i do i still need some determination

cambridge is similar without the counselling, and it is half the price
