I can't stand looking in the mirror and have stopped enjoying going out. I don't know what to do to get off this destructive path. Has any one got any suggestions? Total weight loss with LighterLife 5stone 5lbs I am now going it alone! | ||

Acknowledging there is a problem is the first step. Taking decisive action to rectify it before it gets any worse is the 2nd step. If you are ready to do this, then you need to decide. Do you need to return to abstinence, or can you cope with the boundaries of a healthy eating plan ie SW or WW. I've ended up back in abstinence, having never got to goal, I gave up on LL and regained 2/3 of what I originally lost. I got all the books to do SW but couldn't stick to it. Good luck whatever you decide to do, keep us posted, you know you will get plenty of support on here xx Ali Image: http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w3GyLtz/weight.png | ||

You need to focus and be strong just as much and maybe more when you first started LL... You know you can do it and the pictures show that..... Get back into your old eating habbits no picking on food or the odd sneaky peice behind closed doors and the weight will soon start coming off again..... if you cheat, your only cheating your self! Good Luck sweet we all know that you can do it, keep us posted xx Image: http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wtQsbtJ/weight.png Started LL: 23/04/2009 4stone 1lbs lost in Foundation 10lbs lost in Developers 3lbs lost in RTM Managment on my own since 19/11/2009 1st weigh in 06/01/2009 - -1lb (5 Stone 1lb) 2nd weigh in 04/02/2010 - -1lb (5 Stone 2lb) 3rd weigh in 12/03/2010 - -1lb (5 Stone 3lb) 4th weigh in 26/05/2010 - 0lbs (5 stone 3lb) My Blog Updated 28th July 2010http://jessy-lldiet.blogspot.com Shows my weekly loses throughout my LL journey  | ||

 Registered Member #6065 Joined: Fri May 15 2009, 08:25PMLocation: Sheffield Posts: 476 | Hello I've also gone a bit (about 9lbs above where I'm happy with) and I've tried to lose it by myself but I don't seem to be able to manage it. So I've decided to join WW and am going to my first meeting tomorrow evening. I did WW years ago and lost 2st (a drop in the ocean back then). This time I want to drop 1st and it will take me back to the bottom of my half stone window which is where I want to be. I've realised that the last few months have been a steep learning curve and that old habits are very easy to fall back into. Stress and tiredness are my eating triggers and I need to learn to cope with them in other ways. I'm hoping that a structure and regular weigh in's will help me suceed where I couldn't by myself. I found the times of the maintenence meetings for LL were difficult for me to get to and so I hadn't got the discipline of a regular weigh in to motivate me. I thought about going back on packs but apart from not being able to afford it I want a more practical and discreet way to maintain my weight that I can do with out having to compromise my lifestyle. So that's me then, I know how you feel and I hope you can find a way to get yourself back on track hon. take care cx Caz_kit's weight loss record Pre LL loss 5lbs Foundation total loss 3stone 12.5lbs (19 May - 1 Sept) Developers total loss 3stone 1.5lbs (2 Sept - 29 Nov) RTM total loss 8.5lbs (30 Nov - 25 Jan ) 17 March - still maintaining weight within 7lb window Image: http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wDGJoJA/weight.png | ||

I am finding maintenance a total struggle. I panic and then get worse. I am low GI-ing as from today because I get pretty horrible low blood sugar symptoms and perhaps if I can control them, I will feel better. Continued good luck to you all you lovelies. xxx Image: http://www.magicalkingdoms.com/timers/tickers/sgp9m3xn98z39jpt.png TOTAL LOSS IN FOUNDATION 3ST 12LBS Development: -6lbs Total RTM : -6lbs Total GETTING THE JOB FINISHED!!!!
