Had my 1st weigh in Thursday night and I'd lost an amazing 14lbs in only 1 week. A whole stone in a week. I'm still gobsmacked now. I've been walking round with a fixed grin on my face ever since. I can litteraly feel my clothes getting looser by the day. It's mad. I LOVE LIGHTERLIFE

Oh God, yeah there's still plenty more to loose. You need to have a minimum of 3 stone to loose to do the diet.

Yeah!!

I've been looking to see if you had posted yet!

That is absolutely fantastic - bet you think it is worth it now

I had my last phase 1 weigh in on Wednesday and have made the 3 stone mark (but that was with 3 weeks holidays when I ate - bad girl that I am)!

Wow you've done really well. I've just posted to you on the HELP thread soapbox. Thinking back to last Thurs I thought I'd never do this in a million years. Today, I'm on top of the world. Our phase 1 goes over Christmas and New Year. I've already said there is no way on earth that I'm having a mealpack for Xmas dinner. I will be joining my family and having rast turkey and all the trimmings. After all I will have been in the kitchen cooking the flaming thing all day long!!!!

Did you get full really quickly when you ate soapbox???

I never really ate properly - just had tastes of other people's food! Only had one proper meal and stuffed in the full three courses!
Felt sick afterwards!

You will be under a lot of pressure not to eat at Christmas - but if you are going to make sure you plan it really well, i.e one meal, main course only and try to keep to protein with little carbs. Otherwise the weight piles back on

Xmas dinner and nor roast spuds. I'll have to see. Don't know if I'll have that much will power.

DH has been so supportive and telling me how proud he is of me and that's after only 1 week!!

Are you continuing or going onto maintenance now??

OP posts:
soapbox · 04/10/2004 10:13

oh my god woodpops, that is fantastic .
Well done. That must have given you a huge incentive to stick with it.
Am really pleased for you.

KateandtheGirls · 04/10/2004 14:38

How did you do it?

Were you absolutely starving all week?

Congratulations, by the way.

It's called lighterlife. Total meal replacements. I've not been hungry at all. THe 1st 4 days were awful and I turned into an evil cow just because I missed putting food into my mouth and eating. Crazy isn't it??? The hardest bit I found was having to drink a minimum of 4 litres of water a day!!!!!
