    Mousse Maker saved my diet!

    Hi, I swapped from LT to CD on Wed 3rd March. I just needed more flavours and was dying to try the mousse and porridge. My CDC,Marie, is great and lives just around the corner too :jelous: I have to say, the Mousse Maker has been a complete revelation and will keep me on track, as I love being...

    Dizziness pls help...

    The danger is that you could be blaming the CD, when you could have a virus, or ear problem, or any of lots of medical problems that cause dizziness. You've been really tired as well. Maybe it's a bug? How about checking with your GP or Practice Nurse? Hope you feel better soon.

    Onwards!

    You can easily lose 37 lbs by May! If you only lost 4lbs a week, that gets you 36 lbs and I bet you'll lose MORE than 4lbs some weeks. Keep strong and keep going!

    How will you celebrate when you get to goal?

    I'm planning on starting riding again. This time with smaller boobs (agony before, when they were HUGE and flopping everywhere :eek:) I'm hoping to get beige jodphurs, instead of the navy or black I had before, to try and disguise the size of me. Pretty sure the horse or pony will be glad I'll...

    Changing from Lipotrim to Cambridge

    You're all very welcoming on here! I'll have to post here now, rather than the LT section. Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I've got my "Mother-of-the Bride" outfit now and although I can squish it on, I need to lose about 3 stone for it to look great (Thank God for bias cut, or I'd never...

    Changing from Lipotrim to Cambridge

    Oh thanks girlies :) I spoke to the CDC and as I have a whole weeks LT packs, I'm going to see her next Wednesday evening, so as not to waste them.

    Changing from Lipotrim to Cambridge

    Hi, I'm thinking of changing from Lipotrim to Cambridge. I need more flavours and like the idea of an occasional mousse, plus a porridge in the mornings. I currently pay £36 a week for LT. If I did Sole Source, how much a week would that be please? Thanks for any help. :wavey:

    HELP! Shall I start again?

    Great advice from you all :) After a nights sleep, I'm even more sure about it. I'm going to start walking to work as well, like I used to. This also saves over £10 a week, plus, no buying rubbish from the tea-bar, will save another £10, so the Lt is almost paid for! ;) Scazman, I think I...

    That sounds like a sort of Irritable bowel type pain. If you're a bit constipated, things may be struggling to get through there.

  80. C

    question for all?

    I think I felt "mouth" hunger, or "head" hunger, not true tummy rumbling type genuine hunger. This has taught me not to eat unless it's the real sort of hunger. Sorry this is not much help to you.

    Why do you overeat

    I'm a combination of what Binger and Supaslimmer have said.

I will want to eat if my husband goes out...

    Cost for Men v Women

    I see your point, but if you get more product, it costs them more to produce it. But then it's not your fault that males need more calories and vits and mins etc. So there does seem to be an inequality here. One of the few times it pays to be female I think!
  85. C

    Cost for Men v Women

    You're right Chelly, but I THINK the men get 4 packs of female LT to make the equivalent of male packs. Can anyone do the maths yet!?
  86. C

    Cost for Men v Women

    Female packs have 40g in. 21 packs @ 40g per pack =840g £36 divided by 840 = (help! can't do the maths!!)
  87. C

    Cost for Men v Women

    I think it may be costed out by pence per gram, which makes it the same price, (per gram) but you guys get more grams, so you have to pay more! Seems fair enough to me!! :D

    Hi Lisa, Your peppermint tea and coffee do count in your fluid intake. It's advisable to also have 2.5 -3 litres of water as well, but make sure to spread this out across the day.

I'd deliberately bought nice flapjacks (organic ones, coz these friends are a bit "oatmeal fondue" types if you know what I mean) for afters, and I had...

    "Faux" Eating !!

    Like a few of us on here, I haven't told everyone that I'm on LT due to the negativity etc. I fully agree we should be able to be straight with people, but some people just latch on to anything, like you look a bit tired, or have a bit of a sniffle, to start bad-mouthing the diet, and I really...

    Questions on re-feed

    Yes, you can use a spray of that, I much preferred the salad/cooked salad to the veg, coz 3 tablespoons of veg isn't worth cooking. Have you SEEN the SIZE of a tablespoon measure!!?? :eek: Making a little stir fry is a great way, but watch the amount of salad/veg like a hawk, coz that's where...

    Questions on re-feed

    Hi, I found 6oz chicken is quite a lot. A chicken fillet (like you'd use for a stir-fry) is about the size. I never used the ones with bones in, but I understand them to mean the weight of chicken on its own. With the tuna, if you really drain a normal size tin and squeeze out all the brine, it...

    Hey Officegirl, I was told that if I lost or forgot a shake, you can substitute with 200ml skimmed milk. You could have it as a latte, with sweeteners, to make it nicer. Some coffee shops use skimmed milk, but check first, coz some only use semi-skimmed. Don't despair!

    Only 8 days to go......

    Is your top long enough to hide the fact that they don't fasten? If it is, put some elastic through the button hole and loop it round the button. They'll fit you so quickly it's not worth getting any bigger ones to keep you going.
  139. C

    still worried, need a kicking!!!

    I'm betting you'll lose at least 4-6 lbs !!
  140. C

    is it just me?

    I find that I feel really cold when I'm due a shake. I think I suffer from "head hunger" rather than "tummy hunger" This'll be why I was fat! I ate coz I fancied something, rather than needed food as fuel. Being cold stops the dreaded hot flushes though!!

    first week confusion HELP

    That's right 3 for Laydeez and 4 for men. If you're struggling, split the shakes in half and have 6 a day. You can't save them though, once they're mixed, as the vits and mins disappear. So split the powder and mix them freshly each time.

    first week confusion HELP

    If you put dried chilli flakes and garlic granules (not garlic salt) and black pepper in the soup, it's really nice. NEVER try to do soup or hot choc in the shaker!! It'll explode! Buy a stick blender from Asda or Sainsburys (about a fiver) and do it with hot water in the shaker body.

    Kidney infection :(:(:(

    Aww, sorry you feel so rough, don't worry about excess protein, there isn't a high amount in our LT. If you feel any worse, ring the surgery back and tell them you need to be seen as an "Urgent" on tonights surgery. Hope you soon feel better Hun xxxx

    How do you all keep going

    What keeps me going is Minimins, and my friend Sandra, who is doing it with me(and gives me a talking to when I need it, (Thanks San!) There's no way I could have kept going all these weeks by myself. Just knowing others feel the same, ie. cold, fed-up, tempted etc really really helps. Doing it...

    Size 12 SKINNY JEANS!!!

    Thanks everyone, planning on wearing the boots and jeans tonight. When I was walking to work this morning, I passed a neighbour scraping her windscreen and said Hi. She didn't recognise me!! He He! :) My husband says I look like a "Rock Chick" now!

    Hello Nicki26

    And how is our patient today? (Matron doing her rounds here!) Hope you're a bit stronger today Hun. xx
  217. C

    Bad day :-(

    It's a lesson learned. The chop and chicken were not as good as you thought they'd be. Only protein, so probably no damage done. Try and remember how you felt after eating them, and remember it next time you're tempted. Keep strong Hun. xxxx

    I am so excited I have to share!

    Great stuff! We should all keep trying our stuff on regularly, coz we lose so fast. I've "missed the boat" with a few things, by not trying them often enough, then they have to go without even wearing them.

    This diet rocks!

    Excellent! Well done you! Don't spend too much, they'll be hanging off you in no time. I keep going to the local Marie Curie shop and the Cats Protection League shop with all my outgrown ones, they're always made up to get practically new stuff. Maybe we should start a swap shop here!

If you make it with boiling water and use a stick blender in your...

    Yay! Glad you're home, safe and sound. Relax and recover now, but don't forget to do the deep breaths, and keep your legs and feet on the move as you rest, to prevent complications. Remember that even though it's been done laparoscopically, you've had the exact same op as if it was open, so...

    First Day, First Post, First Disaster!

    Hi Zoe and welcome. FBTB is right, never use the shaker for hot shakes!! Buy a stick blender from ASDA or Sainsys for about a fiver, and blend the hot ones in your shaker (MUCH safer!!) Good luck. xxxx

    I'm freezing all the time. :gen125::gen125::gen125: Mind you, before I went on LT, I was having the dreaded "hot flushes" all the time. I don't miss those! When I've done a refeed, they come back with a vengeance! :hitthefan: I think I'd rather be cold, and wear lots of layers, than be...

    Am I being sadistic?!

    Me too! I watch all the cookery programmes and love cooking for my OH and family. Must be a survival instinct, to keep us close to food. It's hard not to cave in though!

    Hi Rose, Great to hear how happy and confident you feel in your own skin. You've certainly done a lot of quality thinking and philosophising and have come to emotional peace with yourself. That's a real achievement and will make your weight loss path a lot smoother. It's great to have you back...
