carlyp
thanks for you reply its gives me real buzz to hear you say you lost so much on LL, your right about it being hard espeacilly when i have to cook all family dinners everyday and do food shopping its like pulling your toe nails out watching them eat the food you love!.
sorry to hear you've had an op, hope all is recovering well and after an op anyone would need to R&R.

If I can lose this three stone then I have made my goal, i'm aiming to buy a diet plate afterwards and have smaller meals plus think about what I am eating, to be honest I just have man sized meals with my hubby which is no good!
again good luck with WW

Hi,

I have just lost 6st 12lbs on LL and have had to stop as I am now pg and due in May 07!! I have started to lose my hair (handful each time I brush or wash my hair) so feel it is probably time for me to stop for a while. I have been back on real for almost 3 wks now and have found it quite daunting to have choice but have been eating very healthily.

we are in a closed group of up to ten ladies, we work through a counsling book and watch DVD's and our given a gift each week last week was a pedomitor, we email each other and meet up outside of LL to keep our spirts up, but when you go into management I'm not really sure what happens becuase I am not at that stage yet, but I have lost 5 pounds in my first week, and my size 18 are very loose, and I have already been shopping and fitted into size 16's

hi Tyakit, well done you 6 stone you must have been on there for 6 months congrats on Preg yes, I would have stopped if I was preg, ask your midwife on eating tips to keep you weight stable during preg, I know that all my extra weight was becuase \I pigged out and did no exersise when I was pregnant.
lots of ladys hardy put on any weight whilst they are becuase they are all baby, I 'm sure if you stick with midwifes advise this will be you.
