Thread: Emmielou's diary

well done emmielou!! i feel excited now just had my weigh in and im 12st9 soo happy i havent been in the 12s for years i was 13 stone for years after that then it slowly creeped to 16 so when i lost it the 3 stone and got dwn to 13s it didnt budge after that and went so slow i felt like giving up because i really thought no matter what i do im going to be 13 stone for ever but when i seen the scales this morning i was sooo excited and happy knowinh it be long till i reach the 11 mark. and also to keep me motivated i bought a gorgoues slinky tight fitting vest dress from asos.com yesterday and is determined to fit in it fot xmas i cant wait.Oh and my pharmacist is defo stopping me at 10st5 so will be doing xante diet after that. well donr to all of us woo hoo!!!!

Hi sweetheart, I am so proud of you for sticking with this diet. You look amazing now even though you want to carry on (glad you do really coz I couldnt do it myself without you). Dont forget.....the end is now in sight!!!!! Love Mum. XX

Had a really bad day yesterday and I have no idea why!

I just couldnt concentrate on anything and was in the foulest of moods!

I ended up having a hot bath and going to bed at 7 and then tried to watch some tv but I still couldnt concentrate. I feel like I wanted to tear my hair out as all I could think of was food. I really felt that must be what smokers go through everyday when they are giving up cos it was hell. It was as if my body was screaming out for something and yet i couldn't give in to it.

The only thing I can think of is that I hadnt cooked anything all day so i had withdrawl from the food smells. Cooking must in a strange way fill u up and trick your body into thinking its getting the food! i dont know how.

And maybe watching my dad eat a full english in the morning and then going to the aviation park in the afternoon where i would normally have a big portion of cheesy chips also got to me!

Feeling a bit better today, maybe because my mind is occupied at work. Only 3 more days til friday and WI and then on to the last 2 weeks before refeed. Cant wish the time away fast enough.

Managed to comfortably fit into my size 10 suit today that I havent been able to wear for about 2 years and it feels great! Also on Saturday I tried on a size 10 dress that only a week ago was too tight and wouldnt fasten, yet the zip when straight up no probs! must have lost a few inches in just 1 week so thats really good to know.

Hope everyone else is doing well too!

Delighted for you Emmielou I know it's hard
hve been struggling myself over past few days
Can't wait to be at your stage with only a stone to
go keep up the good work you are doing great x

Well Im having a much better day today! Last night something seemed to click and I felt happy and fine again and motivated to get through the next 2 1/2 weeks.

Had quite a few comments today at work and with every one it makes the whole thing that little bit more worth it! Its always funny though when people say how have you lost the weight and when i say i havent eaten any food for the last 4 weeks and their faces look like this !

Going shopping at lunch to get some bits for my dads tea. Hes having homemade burgers that me and mum prepared a week ago and Im soooo looking forward to going home and cooking them, the smell will be incredible.

2 more days til WI.....cant wait. Little nervous though as TOTM so scared it may affect my loss

good luck with weigh in !! you will still lose with TOTM as I had the same fear but it didnt affect the results come weigh in day! let me know your weight! i'm half way through re-feed week now and finding it frighfully easy lol!! not complaining. hope i can lose another 2lb then i will be happy to maintain that forever .......: )))))))

Glad your enjoying refeed! I personally cant wait for that! If you dont mind me asking what have your days consisted of eating? Did your pharmacist give you a plan?

Everybody who does refeed seems to say they still lose weight that week so Im sure you'll lose the 2lbs no problem. Will that make you 9st 6lbs? I cant wait to be in the 9's. Fingers crossed it will be today!!

Only 2 weeks left after today then refeed! In an ideal world Im hoping to be 9st 3lbs when i start refeed and then lose a couple on refeed week so ill be near enough 9 for hols! but that means I need to lose 4lbs each week including today so not sure if that will happen.

So glad I sticked with it now!

Well 4th WI done and have lost 3lbs! not great as I wanted 4 to stay on track but the pharmacist said its going to slow now because im a healthy BMI and really am ready for refeed. Told her I want to go for another 2 weeks for a last push and she said she is happy for me to do so but that will be it.

At least im back in the 9's!!wooohoo not been 9 something for years and now im 9st 12!

Well done Emmielou that is brilliant oh to be in the 9's you must
feel fantastic great work see u there hopefully soon !

hey 3lb is great its pretty normal, I was always 3lb loss or just under so dont worry you will get there. The re-feed plan is on the lipotrim website but your pharmacist will give you a plan, its not set meals but tells u what foods to have and not have, ie basically high protein with shakes and gradually introduce carbs. its just nice to eat to be honest lol. feel semi normal again. I've got weigh in tomorrow so will let you know how much i lost in re-feed week, will make me 9.6 if i get 2lb off.

Well done Emmielou on getting into your size 10 suit, must feel amazing!

well done, size 10 - wow

Yeah let me know how you get on at weigh in as i really want to know if you can still lose that week!

Im thinking sensible now and if the most i manage to lose is 2lbs a week (inc refeed wk) thats still another 6lbs before hols which will take me to 9st 6lbs and anything extra will then be a bonus. 2 is absoulte minimum im hoping to lose per week so it would be absoultely fantastic to lose 3 again but will just plan for the 2 then i shouldnt be dissapointed.

Going to book for a lymphatic drainage massage this week too which ive been told can help as it gets rid of any fluid retention and bloating....every little helps!!

My pharmacist mentioned on friday that for refeed week i would still be on 2 shakes a day and then pure protein for dinner with leafy greens. But i thought you were meant to do this at the start of the week then go to one shake and introduce cards towards the end of the week? I'm a little bit worried as my refeed would then finish on friday and i go away on the sat so wanted to be ready to eat normal foods that week (obviously being healthy but wanted to be ready for carbs)!

u only have 2 shakes the first day then 1 shake for each day. first two days protein only then introduce carbs on third day, small potatoe or something, day 4 fruit and bread etc.. u can pick up the program on the lipotrim website x i get weighed tomorrow so will let you no if i lost owt in re-feed week (altho did cheat with some alcohol!!) so no great expectations lol.

I cant find the plan on the website! Im sure im going on a different one to everyone else cos there is hardly anything on the website apart from a bit of info about lipotrim and where to get it. Cant see any info on refeed. Could you post a link so I can check im on the right one?
