    Irish Molly's ipotrim and GL Journey thanks to Minimins

    Lipotrim, GL and Minimins have been my saviours in the past year.
    Just one year ago I began a journey that seemed impossible. I took it a day and a week at a time, setting myself small achievable goals.
    I began at 294lbs or 21st.
    I finished at 179lbs or 12 st 11lbs. (About my average adult weight)
    I was a size 26/28
    I'm now a size 14/16.
    I have lost over 39% body fat and a total of 60.5 inches.
    I started Lipotrim thinking I'd stick it for about six weeks. 26 weeks later I had lost 87lbs and 53.5ins.
    I switched to GL hoping to lay down a good eating plan to maintain those losses and maybe lose a bit more.
    24 weeks later I have maintained my LT loss and added another 28lbs and 7 inches to the total. I could have lost at a faster rate on GL if I followed it more strictly and had an exercise plan but I was in no hurry as GL is my plan for life.
    Posting on Minimins and checking the progress of everyone on here was by far and away the key to the whole thing. When your resolve starts to weaken and you pop on here and either seek support or read that others are feeling the same then you gain the courage to battle on.
    Thank you Lipotrim
    Thank you GL esp Patrick Holford and Nigel Denby.
    Most of all thank you Minimins for this site and all the fab people who post on here daily, weekly or just now and then.
    You make the world a better place.

    Thanks for that. I believe the support we all give each other on here is one of the key factors in succeeding with weightloss. We all need encouragement or a kick on the bum from time to time. Our fellow miniminners give us both as and when required.

    Massive well done to you! I have 11lb to go to get to goal, I have lost almost 5 and half stone since January...

    The one thing that has got me through it is Mini's, would not have got as far as I have without it...

    I have to admit though, that the last 2 weeks have been slow for me... I've not really had it in me to get the last bit off... After reading this, it has given me that kick I need

    Thank you tonnes for giving me an unknowing kick up the bum.

    Best of luck maintaining! xxx

    Heya.
    Wow, you've done amazingly, you must feel just fabulous!
    I totally agree, Minimins is such a brilliant resource and the people are so fantastic.
    I hope that everything continues to go so well for you.
    Nothing will change
    unless you yourself make it .





    The goals weren't working....I never was much of a sports fan

    I just want to reach a healthy weight and do it without driving myself crazy!

    Please stick with it!!! It can be easy when you see the finishing line to think well I'm close enough so it will do. Not good enough!!! You have come this far so stay on board for the final push. The pride you will feel in yourself is amazing!!!

    You are doing very well on your own journey. Never lose sight of your end goal. When the going gets tough just think of how happy you will be to be at a healthy weight again. Keep on the forum when you feel yourself weakening.

    Well done, I hope you maintain forever and enjoy being thin!!!

    Thank you so much for the lovley comments. It is just such support that keeps us all going. I totally agree that it is when we read the stories on here that it finally gives us the courage to begin. When our weight steadily goes up and we blame everything and everyone in the world except ourselves it is more tempting to wallow in our own pit of despair. The honesty of those posting on Minimins makes us realise that we ourselves are the only ones who can change our lives but that it can be done.
    I can see you are on the same wonderful journey. Breaking the 20st barrier must feel so so fab at this point. I also admire the fact that you are doing it through careful management of calories. Continued success to you and never lose faith in your own ability to succeed.

    Jim, I have read many of your posts and you have always been very honest about your own journey. You are always so supportive to others on here.


    Hope123, you are so right. I think many of us would have fallen by the wayside without the support of all our Minimins family. I give it huge credit for my own success to date.
