Thread: Irishmans daily diary!

Hi everyone. My name is Finn and I am 32 years old. I am from Ireland but living in Wales for the past 6 years. I've been a big man most of my life. I have ready some really hard stories on this site and my size has not held me back as much as some of the people on here but I completely recognise the problems ech person faces. I have recently got engaged and want to be looking good on the big day. I know, I'm sounding like Groomzilla but its not really for me. Its more for my fiance. She says she doesn't care but I want us both to be able to look at our photographs and well... you know! I have tried diets before but never really stuck to them because I just like my food too much. I have been on the Lipotrim diet now for 5 days and I am struggling to tell you the truth! My fiance said that using sites like this might help me and even now I know it has having read other peoples stories. I don't really know how this diary thing will work but I will give it a go and keep everyone updated. I hope it will drive me on a bit also to stick to it. I am really excited to hear from people who can help me along or give me a few tips!!! So....

The details so far are...

Started diet = 6/4/2010
Initial weight st. = 19.03
Initial weight kg. = 120.8

Oh good luck
I started cambridge today - so for me I am on day one
I have used other diets but like you am hoping this is THE one for me

this is a great site - hopefully you will make lots of 'friends' on here that can help support you

Thanks!

Hi Finn

Congrats on your upcoming wedding, have you set a date for your nuptuals?

I also tried Lipotrim a few years back and was successful losing weight on it but unfortunely I don't think there is any way to maintain it long term, I also have friends who lost and maintained for a few months using Lipotrim but again they've gained back the weight they lost and more!

I have recently lost a lot of my weight using the basis of weight watchers and only eating three healthy meals a day, no snacks. It has taken a year (but I fell pregnant in June last year and delivered in Jan this year and still managed to lose while pregnant!). I feel now that I'm not doing it to lose weight to look good, I'm losing the weight to keep my self healthy. I hope your successful in your loss, but if the lipotrim doesn't work out don't crash and burn on the food!!!

Hope you have a good day today
I got through day one - headache from hell about nine so went to bed a bit early
one day at a time
I am sure if we both do the proper reintroduction of foods we will be fine if we stick to healthy eating at the end of the weight loss phase

Hi mrsmotivation!
Thanks and yeah we have set a date of 26th of April next year. Plenty of time to get in shape but completely know what your talking about when your on about regaining. I have done WW before and lost just over 3 stone. But all it took was for me to miss just one week at the weighin and within two months I had most of the weight if not more back on. I just love my food too much!!! I don't even feel guilty eating it! So I know it will take a completely new change in lifestyle.
I have for the first time ever joined a gym and have been three times this week. I hate wasting money so I know now that as I am paying monthly for it I will definately use it.
I can feel even now that lifestyle will have to change. Like you we are planning for kids and I want to be able to do whatever I can with them! I have also just signed up and paid to learn how to swim! 32 years old and can't swim! So I think its all going in the right direction!

Hi Aaleigha!
My day is going alright. I'm now on day 6 of no food and just shakes.
My usual day is Lipotrim mousse in the morning with peppermint tea and water. Water throughout the day then mousse and tea and night again. I have managed to get through the headache part of the diet and am fine now as long as I drink enough water. Still finding it hard though to not think about sneaking food but at over £45 a week I'm not wasting my money to see no results!!

My girlfriend is getting it tough though. I am very short tempered with her and bad tempered. This is slowly going though. She had it bad on days 2-4 but I'm fine now. She understands though how hard it is so thankfully I dont have to buy her anything shiny and sparkly to make up for my moods!!

I think we will both be fine with the reintroduction to food just as long as we eat sensibly and I keep up my new found gym workouts!!

More pepermint tea! Great!

Ok moment of truth. About to go to get weighed and get my next batch of Lipotrim shakes!

Thanks. Its not going so bad so far. Can't get dominoes pizza outta my head though!!! Like your pics. Which one are you?

Bl00dy H3ll fantastic loss
hope I can do half of that at my weigh in

so what flavours do you like then - not even sure they are the same choices as cambridge
my favs so far are chocolate - ice cold and cappuccino with a spoon of coffee in a HUGE mug with hot water - really creamy - not too keen on the soups though

Thanks a lot H! Can't say the first week was easy but slowly getting there just realised that I gave my wrong start weight and stuff in my first post but what I have below is the proper one from now on. Whens your weigh in? Never asked but whats your reason for wanting to loose?
On the lipotrim you choose between strawberry, vanilla and chocolate shakes. The chocolate is disgusting so want be doing that again. I'm giving one of the soups a go tonight.
I have been having my two a day as a mousse and drinking lots of water and certain leaf teas during. I'm getting into a good routine now but just can't stop being hungry all the time!
Whats the cambridge like?
