Honk for another week and 41 days overall!!

Oh god it feels amazing! Like they reckon you'll lose a stone a month, I've done it in half the time I allowed for it?! I'm so happy, I hope everyone gets to feel like this soon!

I cannot believe that after only six weeks of Exante that I've lost THREE STONE! I had a 6lb loss this week which brought be down to 231, I haven't been this weight in about four years. I'm giddy with the excitement!

It kind of is a distant memory, you've hit it on the head there! I suppose I do sometimes wish I could eat something that didn't come in silver packaging (olives and cheese!) but it would feel like I'd wasted all of my determination so far. It definitely gets easier as you go on!

Honk x 34, just very please with myself for getting to 5 weeks without a single blip! (I know it should be 36 if it was 5 weeks, but I changed my WI day and had a short week back at the start!)

Thanks girls, I'm really happy with this so far. Well worth a little bit of deprivation!

This seems to be a fairly consistent number, but one that I'm very happy with! Another 4lbs off this week and it's really starting to show!

Thanks everyone! Next weigh in tomorrow, exciting times ahead (I hope!)

Honk day 29!

Honk!

Hi all! I've just completed week 4 and I'd love to know what the future holds. I have a couple of questions for those who have been here longer than me; What sort of loss can I expect from here on in weekly? I had another 4lb off this week but I fear that this may be where it gets slow. Has...

Day 27 today too! I think Annie is right, we need so much support in the first while then once it becomes a habit we can cope on our own a bit better. I've been 100% so far and the future looks bright, but I'd love to hear from people who are further into the diet than me. What should I expect...

Clockwork

Thank you, I'm please with it so far anyway!

Well done moomoo!

Well it'll be even more satisfying next week then when you can record a massive loss!

Week four gives me another 4lb down, bringing it to 32lb in 4 weeks!

Honk!

All the honks! Millions! Or, more specifically - honk T W T F, bringing it up to 25 honks!

Hey O, are you still Exante-ing? Hope everything is ok!

Back to do a (very) brief update - porridge. I love it. I will eat it always, for it is so delicious. I had it with cinnamon and nutmeg and to be honest, anything that serves as a medium for those delicious woody flavours is going to go down well in my town! I'm really fearful for my weigh in...

Oh my god, I'm trying my first pack now Blue and it is bliss! Really good, it may see me through some dark, dark times!

I've been on it three weeks now and not a morsel of food has passed my lips that didn't come out of an Exante wrapper!

Hi Daisymillie! It definitely works, I started less than three weeks ago and I've lost 2 stone already! Just take it one temptation at a time, you'll do it!

Hey blue, I'm definitely up for it! Will be stopping 2 days short of 90 though as I'm on holidays on the 15th, but I'll join you in 3.5 stone. No point in aiming for something I know I can do, I need to push myself! Good luck all! Blue Butterfly - 49lbs to go. (0/49) Dolly_Daydream - 42lbs...

My third week of 100% total solution has brought my loss to a nice round (or possibly less round?) 2 stone! 5lb off this week which was precisely what I was hoping for!

Thank you!!

Another full week of honking!!

5lb for me too this week! 363.5lbs lost 636.5lbs to go

Ooh that means you're due a weigh in today, let me know how you get on! The smell of hot bread slays me, I can't even think too much about it for fear of a total meltdown. Mostly though I crave olives and cheese, grana padano would just hit the spot! I'm off to weigh in now, here's hoping...

Hello dear! I'm sorry I haven't checked in at all this week, my job has become even more of a nuisance than usual and I'm just hitting the hay in the evenings! I hope you had a lovely lunch, I'm super jealous! It's funny how a lower result can make you work so much harder the following week...

Ooh well tonight I feel like Madame Olive Boursin, but who knows what alias I might turn up under next time!!

Honk x 6! I keep forgetting to honk daily!

I've cut this week short as I've decided to weigh in on Sundays from now on, but am still thrilled to announce a loss of 7lb for week 2! This brings it to a 23lb loss in less than 2 weeks, this diet is definitely working!

Thank you all very much! Time for an early week 2 weigh in!

I've decided to change my weigh-in day to Sunday mornings for the following reasons: - Sunday, for me, is the most challenging day to complete. If I weigh in that morning it will either prove to me that it's working and therefore vanquish any temptation to cheat, or should I have a STS or low...

Thank you for yours, it's an incredible feat to overcome an illness like that and it explains a lot about your 'one day at a time' philosophy! I know I will get over this, I'm just so determined that it's impossible not to, I'm just annoyed it ever happened in the first place! You're an...

I don't have much to report on at the moment, save that I can spy a jawline emerging and can figure out where my collarbone is meant to be! There doesn't seem to be any area of me that is reduced but I feel lighter, my skin is in great condition, overall I feel clean. I'm going home at the...

I do believe if you've been TS there's really no way that you can't lose weight, your body might be holding onto it for now but it will have to let go! Good luck for tomorrow, I hope you get everything you want! That's brilliant by the way, the more Irish the merrier! I'm not just saying that...

I've been close to being buried by the snow alright, we got it quite badly on Thursday night! We certainly will show them, I can't wait to see disdain turn to indifference as they realise they have nothing to hold over me! That is rather interesting about your egg allergy, perhaps when I'm...

That's definitely happened this week, I've been too busy to be concerned about it and in fact it's making me more productive, if I know I can't eat food then I won't be thinking about food, which used to take up a surprisingly large portion of my day, thinking about what to have for lunch...

I know, my housemate is obnoxious and cooks stir-fries at 11pm with the kitchen door open so the whole apartment reeks of it, it was rude when I was eating but now it's just torture!

My sense of smell has become intense! I can pick out different ingredients in the smell of food cooking!

Alas, my determination to post every day has slipped, but not my determination to stay 100%! Day ten has come around quickly and I'm starting to feel a little bit more comfortable in my coat - such a shame I'll have to fill up that extra room with layers of clothing now to protect against the...

Good evening O! My apologies for the delayed response, I've had a manic couple of days! Ah you're an Irish teacher! I've probably used more Irish over here than I did in the last few years in Ireland, it's so good to have your own language to set you apart- even if we never realised it when...

I've probably got a lot more to lose than you though!! Honestly, I don't think I would have made it at times without this forum and the support of everyone on here, it's been fantastic and I hope it will remain so!

Thank you all, at least now I know this is worth my while! Joy!

I am pleased to announce that after a full week of TS 100 pc, I have lost 16 pounds! Over a stone, I'm thrilled!!

Honk x 7, first weigh in tomorrow morning!

Good to hear it! If you need any help let me know!

My mum's side is from Westport, I love the west, though you may have little regard for jackeens such as myself! Growth spurts are quite possible at any age, I'll swear to it! I had my first wobbly day, I had to run home past Sainsburys lest the demons drag me in, but managed to avoid...

Thank you!

I'm pleased you're enjoying them, I had half expected them to be dismissed as the insane stream of consciousness of a raving loon!

Thank you!

Why thank you O, it's taking me so long to write them that I think it's keeping me on the straight and narrow! Oh to be tall, I'm so envious of you! Every pound you lose must really show, especially as you don't have far to go anyway. 180 should be perfect at your height, gaunt is not a good...

I have a plan for Tuesday, my weigh in day. After work, I'm going to go to Debenhams to the Debut section. I shall pick a dress and try it on, in a size that fits me now. I shall then return every fortnight to try that dress on again, in the size that fits. I shall use this as a faithful...

Never say never! There could be a miracle breakthrough cream invented yet! Surely if I believe it hard enough sheer force of will makes it come true!

Hmm same. There must be something that can be done for them bar surgery, some sort of toning? Will need to research this! We shall find a solution and will all have french bulldog ears! Though the weight still has to come off, they'd be wasted on a shar-pei body like mine!

Imagine being able to go without?! Obviously not everywhere, but just to nip to the shops etc, in the summer in a vest top, braless! There's something to work towards anyway! I'm the same with the changing shape, if love to be able to guess what sizes I'll go through over the next few months as...

Good luck for tomorrow!

Lol not for long! With any luck you'll be so fat-free soon that you'll need thermals in July!

One benefit is that there's more material, which means more warmth in these Baltic times!

Hello O! I did wonder about the username, I was thinking oh the poor chap must have one of those man-bra contraptions - thanks for clarifying! As O it's more l'Histoire d'O, which I won't go into detail about as it may result in my removal from Minimins! The bra removal is possibly the...

That sounds delicious, I'll have that this evening then!!

A few extra bars?! I wouldn't beat myself up about that! Think (actually don't think, cause it'll lead you into the dark side!) of all that you could have eaten and didnt, you had a couple of additional packs that keep you well within calorie deficit. Sounds like willpower to me! I was reading...

Thank you! To be honest I'm just keeping busy and having early nights, I'm an evening eater habitually, but if I'm sleeping I'm not eating!!

Oh that's sweet, hello to you too! How are you finding this cold snap for keeping on the diet? The coldness is an issue, isn't it?!

Day five is now declared over, temptation resisted in all forms! Today I had banana, toffee bar split into two (the second half of which I shall enjoy shortly) and by accident, another banana! I just pulled the first shake I laid hands on out of the box. Should do about 2.5 litres by sleeptime...

Halfway through day five and am, as we speak, about to try the feted bouillon! It is... Delicious!! It tastes and smells like celery, I love celery in liquid form! Joy!

Hi Elvira! The vanilla makes me heave too, it's never a good day when it involves vanilla! good luck with the next 11 and hope you come to the right decision for you!

Hi noor! Read back over your diary and look at how determined you are! 6 days is phenomenal with being sick and all, one more day and you'll have done a week!! A whole week! Get through one more day then look at your losses and see how you feel then. I think you'll only be able to genuinely...

If you happen to pass a supermarket try picking up a pound of butter. That's what you've lost! You've expelled that from your system, through your determination. It might not seem like a lot on paper but your body is grateful for it, it's a pound less for your legs to carry and your heart to...

Day fouR! I've reached ketosis but also still not getting the burst of energy that I need. I do feel like I'm running on clean fuel though - that might sound odd but it's the best way of describing it I think. Bought some bouillon today and look forward to trying it. Have had vanilla, Thai...

Day three is almost over with! I really needed the three shakes today, I was so hungry by the time I got home I was throwing up bile - I had a horrible hour long session of hiccups that threw my poor stomach into chaos. I've had vanilla, banana and chocolate today. I do hope I manage to slip...

I'm getting that today too! Not a bit of temptation the first two days and then boom, everything today was about food! Early night for you tonight I think, just sleep through it!

Welcome! How are you feeling now? I'm on day three and all I can say is water water water! Early nights and for me, instead of looking at it as a massive challenge, break it down into each temptation that you're faced with and conquer. I think it is achievable!

I must keep a daily log - today I had 4 cigarettes, wore a tinted lipbalm, had a chocolate and orange bar and a chocolate shake. Timing was all over the place so will make sure I have three tomorrow. Bought a proper shaker too, so I shall now have my own and not have to rely on the stinky one in...

It's so gratifying when you do manage to stick to it, isn't it?! I must try and remember every detail of how good it feels so that I can remind myself when tempted of how much better it feels than whatever morsel I'm hungry for! Have you lost much so far? That's brilliant about the neighbour, I...

All I buy now is just a covering for my frame, I don't really love anything that I've bought in the last few years, apart from things in sales that I think I'll use as inspiration wear - I've got a pair of jeans from 2009 that I've never worn, bought in a small size 12 to spur me on to lose...

Ah I'm heavier than you now, but in a few months we shall sit on either end of a see-saw and balance it perfectly! I like dresses that have darker strips at the side for that, in my head if it's shaded out it's not visible! The visits to the pp-parlour are far too frequent, I think they'll be...

Thank you Darcy!

Hi Alex! At the moment I'm fuelled by determination and am not even thinking about food. I feel like I've reached a point where I have eaten everything I want to eat and if I were to continue, I'd only be covering old ground. Tonight I'm painting my nails and having an early night again, such a...

Thank you! Now for day two! How was your Tuesday?

End of day one. Had chocolate shake, vegetable soup and vanilla shake, three litres of water. Four cigarettes, no lipstick on, shower and bed immediately. I dont even want to start getting hunger pangs, down that road lies temptation! Best if I just sleep it off for the next few days until I'm...

That's what I'm trying to think of it as! I'll be 25 this year and I have no intention of meeting that birthday in my current state. Or the summer! Imagine walking along southbank, in a light flippy skirt, or cycling in pastel pedalpushers... There's so much I'm missing and I'm fed up!

People must think I'm crazy, I'm running to the bathroom all day! I wonder will I ever get less sloshy or is this something I'll have to get used to??! I never thought of breaking up the bars, that would make a lovely substantial meal!

Hey gill! Every day is a new start so don't beat yourself up about it! The food thoughts are starting to kick in now though, grr!

Thanks ephedrine! I'm totally on mobile so I can't see your stats, but I look forward to working with you! You know, I really thought I had dealt with the second chin with some subtle shading! Not at all effective when not looking solely at the face!

Thank you!

Thanks marley&me, I think it's easier to work that look when you feel good about yourself!

Thanks Noor!!

I need to update my stats. But before I do that, for the record and to remind myself - today is Monday, 30th January. I am 24, five foot two, hair colour brown, shoe size 6. I had two coffees and 6 cigarettes today. It's likely to snow tomorrow... Oh - and I weigh 19 stone and seven pounds...

I too am starting on Monday! I've had a few stops and starts but this is the one that's going to work - especially as you girls are starting at the same time!!

Oestrogen is stored in fat so when you lose weight, the fat breaks down thus releasing a high volume of oestrogen into your system which throws your cycle out of whack!

Today is good because I now know I'm well and truly in the swing of things, I went to the gym with a couple of girls from work last night and then to the cinema, but on the way there they were hungry so wanted to get dinner, I managed to sit there and have nothing but water! On the plus side...

I've started going to the gym this week, second week in. The way I'm looking at it is even if the number on the scales might not end up dropping rapidly, my body composition analyser will tell me different, so I'll know what percentage is fat and what is muscle...

I was in the gym this evening and that ravioli ad came on! I think food ads should be banned in gyms!

Well done to you! Once you get through the first day it gets easier, I know for me it did cause when I wanted to give up after I thought of the days I had before that would be wasted if I ate! This is fantastic for you, well done!

I have 120 to lose, which is actually the same weight as a skinny man if you think about it! Well, I've 110 to lose now, yay! It's nice to know there are going to be other people here for some time with me!!

Oh thank you all so much! It actually hasnt been too bad, I've just stuck to the water so far as I have such a sweet tooth that if I drank any sort of fizzy drinks it's just send me into a spiral of sugary badness! Oh and thanks, I'm delighted with the loss!

Hello! I have a small issue... I've just had my first week weigh in and have lost 10lb, about which I am most pleased! However, I've come to work today without my packs, idiot that I am! I blame the excitement of the scales related happiness this morning! My question is... is going without...

Oh, and I remember reading somewhere that the reason for the periods is because oestrogen is stored in fat, so as you burn fat the hormones are released into your body, thus destabilising the constant chemcal flow of the implanon and causing fluctuations in your menstrual cycle. Ta Dah!

Same here, I'm nearly at the end of my 3 years on Implanon, and all of a sudden 6 days in have started my first period in those 3 years. I went to the doctor about having it out and he said that it would be quite difficult to remove as a result of my weight (ie fat arms on top of the bar!) so...

Maybe it's the amount of water you're taking into your body...I feel a bit sloshy? That might be it, because there's no food in your stomach to absorb liquids the liquid is sitting there sloshing about?

I had forgotten all about the coldness, but I do remember the baths!! I thought it was just a change in the weather but it's actually me... I like to think of my poundage as being like fuel for my bodily heating!!

Triple honk, Monday, Tuesday and so far today, with no plans to get up to anything naughty or fridge related!!

I came across a Jubbly earlier in the diaries section if that's any help?

Yay, through the hard part, I'm in ketosis already! I think my body is trying to persuade me to stick to it, it's being very facilitating! Hi Aaron, I was the same I just couldn't do a full day, I'd get to the evening and give up, but for me I took a couple of awful (truthful) pictures of...

Hi ladies, I've started today too, I guess we're all motivated by it being Monday! My only complaint so far is that my body isn't used to this much water - I'm running to the loo every fifteen minutes! I'm staying in today so it's not an issue, but I'm afraid I'll be caught on the hop on...

Good idea! I have a 1.5l bottle and I'm working my way through 3 of them before I go to bed! Bed is actually looking quite tempting right now, at least it would keep my sneaky paws out of the cupboards!

Brilliant idea!! I'm the same, I can justify anything to myself but once I've told someone else I have to go do it!!!

Thankies!! I had banana too, incredibly good for banana! Nom! Trying to lash water into me now!

I have a shower and that usually puts me off! Three reasons- 1 - Can't eat in the shower 2 - Feeling clean makes me less hungry 3 - The sight of myself in the mirror reminds me I usually don't need that bit of temptation! If I'm not at home I bully myself by calling to mind nasty comments...

Aaargh the boredom is making me want to raid the fridge! I'm going for a shower!! I can't eat while I'm in there and I'll be distracted for a good hour after doing hair! I have too much hair!

Thanks Slinky! Oh that makes me feel so much better!! I know thousands have done exactly what I'm doing but it still seems scary, nice to meet someone with a success story out of it!!!

I started today too, the shakes are much better than expected, compared to Lipotrim shakes anyway!!

Thanks girls!! These shakes are not bad at all, I am loving banana, which is weird cause I hate banana!!

So this is day one of the rest of my life! Feels the same as yesterday or the day before, but with a crucial difference; by this time tomorrow I'll be well underway to losing some serious poundage. I've done Lipotrim in the past and it worked, then had Implanon put in and ballooned, lost...

Hi Bess! Best of luck if you switch over, I'll keep you posted on what it's like to start off on!!

Scarybush you should get it 2 days from dispatch, so if you ordered it before 12 this morning you should get it by Friday.. just in time for the weekend, in the words of Rachel Allen - OH YAMMY! Yeah I wouldn't feel too confident if I were a member of the Greens/FF.. that is if there are any...

Aw thank you! If your results are anything to go by then with some serious dedication it'll happen for me! BTW, I've been lurking here for a while, and I love your balloons, congrats on the latest!

I went cold turkey and am off them 4 months (nearly 5!) now, I don't miss it, I hate getting stuck walking behind someone smoking and can't believe I ever wasted so much time and money! I found that when I stopped I would just take it one at a time, like ok, won't have the morning one, but I can...

Hurrah! Finally got my package, crikey it's a big box isn't it? Full of possibilities and hope, I think I can see a tiny little slim me somewhere at the bottom of it waving back up at me!!! Mucho excited, starting in the morning! It's perfect timing too, I start a new job in 2 weeks so will be...

Lol yes Orlaie they did, but for some reaosn I'm not holding my breath for any promises/threats by the Green Party, or any of the current shower!

Hallo! It was me who was on last week, sorry I didn't see your post! If you need a postcode use BT11AA which is Belfast, it does the trick for most deliveries to Ireland. LT is way too expensive for me at the moment, so I ordered on Friday and with any luck will have it tomorrow!!

Hallo!

I know the feeling, my Mum was putting the photos from Christmas day on Facebook the other day and I had to stand over her shoulder saying "no, not that one, I'm too fat.. or that one, too fat... too fat..." The entire album has one picture of me and that was just a chancey good angled shot! But...

I wonder if the hairloss can be centralised?? Cause if I had to lose hair I'd love to never have to shave the legs again!!

Marvellous! Thanks girls, appreciate the help! Hrmm, I guess I'm all out of excuses now, just have to go bum a credit card and order it!!

Thanks everyone! I got onto them and have to use a fake postcode, you see the address page won't let you progress if you haven't entered a postcode and there are no postcodes in the south of Ireland. Laser is the exact same as Switch, just from Ireland!

Hey! Is anybody here from Rep. of Ireland? Planning on starting and seem to be having trouble ordering online because of the lack of a postcode, grr! Also does the site take Laser?? Thanks!

Bags grandad! Lol I've been so bad tempered the last week im perfect!!

Yay more leg!! 28 inch legs whose idea of a joke was that!! I'm only 5ft 1, Con's 6ft so I can wear whatever heels I want, I can still never give out to him and have him take me seriously!!!

Well done you!!! Hmmm chicken, I'm wishing for snow now!!!

Yeah tis a bit much but ever since I read gone with the wind when I was about 10 I've wondered what it'd be like to have a 22" waist!!!

Hello and welcome!! Yup the less carb you have in your body the more weight you'll lose in the first week!!!

Refeed is your first two weeks, where you're on a strict diet gradually reintroducing foods into your system but still having 2 and then 1 lipotrim shake a day... Fast Weight Loss with The Lipotrim Programme - the first seven days Maintenance is a program you can go on after lipotrim, its...

No idea dental care is just quite expensive in the south and they dont do half as good a job, like last time I had a checkup down here all the dentist did was poke around my mouth with her finger like no little mirror things or anything and say I was grand,I asked her about tooth whitening and...

Cause it's way cheaper than in the south!!! Even when Sterling was at full value it was still cheaper...

LOL! Ah you just made me look crazy I'm in the college library and burst out laughing!!! Everyones looking at me!!

I go to the dentist up there anyway so I could give blood first and then head down to the dentist nice and woozy... "root canal me baby! I got no blood!!!"

Lol mines the opposite, he loves chick flicks but pretends its me dragging him along to see them, even though I'm not that pushed! Whenever a new one comes out hes like - so I suppose youll be dragging me along to see that - with this big hopeful look lol If he wasnt such a scruff and typical...

Aw brilliant thanks!!

True, I cant swan in here and steal everyones body parts... I'll just sneak about and steal everyones fat and shape it into great boobage!!!

Lol but its a very valid question! I am a mad cow!!!

I wonder if I went up to Newry would they take it... Hmm, must do a little research! Cause I feel so bad when they do blood drives in uni, I cant do anything and everyone thinks I'm hogging all my blood to myself!

Awww!! But you got the legs, I am a needy person!!! Lol I'll sit on O Connell bridge with a blanket and ask people going past - "Excuse me Madam, I cant help but notice you have a GREAT RACK! Might I be so bold as to ask you for a little??"

Sex and the City!!! He's a doll dont know what I'd do without him!!

Here you missus! I just had a look at your photos (got over my 50 posts last night yay now I'm a real person!!) You were never ever a chubby monster!! I'm not saying dont do LT cause if you're not happy then you have reason to change it (after all you spend the most amount of time with yourself...

Nope!! (MOOOOOOOO!!!!!) But they wont take my blood or platelets or anything just in case, its a pain in the ass and they're only shooting themselves in the foot because thousands of Irish people went to the UK in the 80s and then came back ,so theres a massive contingent of willing donors...

According to the fount of knowledge that is Wikipedia - Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a very rare and incurable degenerative neurological disorder (brain disease) that is ultimately fatal.[1] Among the types of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy found in humans, it is the most...

I guess the key is to learn that once we come off this, just cause we can eat anything, doesnt mean we have to eat everything!!!

I know!! I really like it its on like the last page of the whole forum lol

Lol I love resurrecting old thread this one is a really good analogy

Nowhere will take my blood in Ireland, I dont know if its the same in the UK or NI, but because I was born in London in '87, they wont take my blood because of the risk of variant CJD???

On days one, two and three I just kept yelling to myself every time I got a craving "Thats it!! I quit!!I'll start again on monday" But then I stopped and thought, theres always going to be a monday, always going to be a 'better' time to start... the only thing we can do is just barrel into it...

Thats what bothers me too, that this is the easy part... I dont want to keep losing, then putting it on and going back on lipotrim... I think for me next tattoo I'll have "elegance is refusal" put on the back of my hand lol

Conor came over last week the day before I started Lipotrim and said since we cant celebrate it properly next week we'll have it today, went to the movies, came home and he cooked dinner, and brought over the SATC movie (I hadnt seen it and he had sworn blind he'd never watch it with me lol) and...

Jeeves is a Ford Escort hahaha I got escort and butler mixed up and you know how butlers are always called Jeeves??? Yup I got him fixed up and my god I did some damage, the whole side panel had to be beaten out cause of the speed I did it at!!! Hmmm a golf.. has to be a boy cause you're a...

OOH and being flexy enough that I can reach the awkward bits of my back to scratch, I hate having to ask people to scratch my back for me cause they just never hit the right spot!!!

Vince Vaughn - The Breakup

Well the Lipotrim folk say a stone a month but I lost 3 and a half in 2 months last time I did it!!

Thanks! I dont have a photo of it on this laptop but I love it, and because it means something I'll never get sick of it!

Heres hoping on the interview!! What kind of a car is your poor baby Claude?? I destroyed Jeeves back a few months ago, his window got smashed in by some little cretins outside my apartment, so I parked down in the basement as close to the wall as possible so nobody could climb in the window...

Hate to introduce something so decadent... but does anyone drool while watching Two Fat Ladies?? I love that show! They're such characters and everything they make is just sinful but when they do a big roast or salmon en croute I just cant help imagining burying my face in a plateful!!!

Have a great time, when you're there buy yourself lots of nice clothes to reward yourself for your discipline on the crisp aisle!

Was it just plain chicken? Hopefully it wont take you out of ketosis, they say if you get really hungry you can eat a small bit of white chicken in the evening... dont worry warrior, chin up!!!

In addition to your shakes you should be aiming for an absolute minimum of 2 litres, ideally 4-5 litres every day, the more you drink the more you lose! Don't drink too much though cause you can do damage there, I wouldnt go above 6 litres a day for safety...

Hey Claire welcome!!! Few little tips that worked for me - When you're hungry, log on here! Get loads of water into you, its hard yes but its the only way to make this thing work! Smell is an underrated sense lol, when you think you're gonna take a bite of something, just take deeeeep smells...

Found this place online, I know its in Vancouver but I think they do online orders. Its a custom made corset store, they design it to fit you and you only, Dita Von Teese has had corsets made here so its gotta be good!!! Just picture yourself with your new slim and gorgeous bod, with an...

Chelly, you're brilliant at the pep talks, you should be a life counsellor!!!!!! Sparkle you are gonna love your reunion.. they say nothing tastes as good as being slim feels, but they're so wrong... Nothing tastes as good as the look on the faces of those smug *****es from back in school...

Lol so true, personal trainers are on the devils payroll!!!!

Hi and welcome!!! The water is awful, agreed, but you know what else its meant to wash away as well as fat? Cellulite! I didnt realise it but theres a thread up about it, and even though drinking this amount of water is a pain in the ass, in a while it'll be a pain in the totally smooth...

Welcome Vicki!!! I love your profile name, soon you'll be a skinny dipper not a chunky dunker!!!! I did the same thing last time I did LT, skipped most of my shakes and didnt lose a single ounce!!!

I think they're really really dried out bits of parsley, cause parsley doesnt really have a flavour or anything??? Tis a mystery!!

When you take the pic, just right click on it, hit copy, then come back here and hit paste!!! That works for me anyway... Dying to see the pic!!

I love it, really drives home what matters...

I have the exact same thing as you guys, I think that my friends like having a "fat friend" to make them all look good... Well its time for them to realise that we're not just chubby backdrops for their facebook photos!!! I only joined this site like 6 days ago and I've never had such...

AARGH!I'm so jealous please share!!! I've actually looked at leg lengthening ops, I'd never get it done (they break your legs in a few places and when your bones knit together again you grow a few inches through the bone scarring type thing... pretty ew)but a girl can dream!!

I use the twinings peppermint and nettle tea, one teabag to a starbucks mug, fairly big mug, and fill it to leave a decent gap under the brim (about as much space as you would leave if you were putting milk in tea) pop two canderel in and then stick it in the freezer!!

Be lovelier with a milky sweet coffee, sniff!!!

Oh my god swap! I'll steal a few inches from you, mine are 28", so we'll both be a nice easy for shopping 30"!!!

Thanks Kered, if I do half as well as you have I'll be delighted!!! WI on Saturday, so we shall see if all this starvation has been worth it!!!!!!!!

Yea I haven't got the bad breath yet, on day 5 which worries me, I'm getting pale pink on the ketostix too...

I'm with Ro Laren, sounds to me like its a cyst, basically a build up of dead skin cells and fluid, they're said to be harmless and not malignant, not tumours or anything. My dad had two or three removed last year, local anaesthetic and they just lanced them..

I'm cleaning too!!! Which is really annoying cause my housemates leave all their dirty dishware out after eating, and considering the only items I use are the blender and a pint glass I'm getting pretty peed off that none of them have even noticed that they havent had to wash up after themselves...

I'm off to California for the whole summer on a working visa with my boyfriend and another couple, the girl is lovely but one of those unbelievably slim people, she doesnt diet or watch what she eats at all, but she has no hips, tiny boobs, basically a prepubescent girl, but still gorgeous if...

Amen to the mint chocolate shakes!!!!!!

Lol Dublin!! I didnt mention I'd be wearing a hoodie at the same time, its still cold but its really fresh in the morning lol

For real?! Congratulations !Ah so excited now to see if mine will go!!!

Go you Barbie!! See thats the trick, when you're fat you can do something about it with a bit of willpower, when you're ugly on the outside it'll cost you to do something about it, but when you're ugly on the inside, like your taxi driver and all those other people who have put us down, there is...

I miss my routine... Used to get up in the morning, make a cup of hot milky sweet coffee, take it outside and sit down on the deck and have my first cigarette of the day...yummy...

I've only the one so far, I got my dogs paw, dipped it in ink and got her to stand on paper, brought it to Mr. Tattoo Artist and said needle me please!!! It's pretty cool looking cause my dog is huge! (mother was an Irish Setter, father was part Golden Retriever, part wild dog, we reckon wolf...

Rosiered! Dogtags!!! Its the ultimate failsafe present for guys, you can pick up plain dogtags in claires accessories or argos or wherever, then bring them to an engraving place and get his name on one and yours on the other.. I got them for my boyfriend a couple of years ago and he never...

Miss Sixty Topshop - Womens Clothing - Womens Fashion - Topshop River Island QUICK QUICK QUICK!!! Get on to these sites (and any other favourites you have) and picture yourself in the teeny tiny sizes you can now fit into!!! Or go out and try on clothes!!!

He had a Dominos last night!!! Weeeeping!!! Then at about midnight he had rosemary and lemon chips and potato croquettes!! My heart is breaking!!!

Matt Dillon - You, Me and Dupree

Lol Miss Bean that is a brilliant way of putting it!!! Hey you know when you see a new one, do you ever panic and think you're gonna get them on your face? That really scares me!!!

Hello Irish People! Im from Dublin but my family is in Louth, so I get my lipotrim up there for €63!!!

As regards Foundation - have you considered using mineral foundation?? way better for your skin and great coverage while still being kind, Loreal Perfect Match does the trick!!! Mascara - Dior Backstage Blackout - Huuuuuuuuuuge brush its gorgeous, like fake lashes! Also the yves saint lauren...

Chelly OH MY GOD! I think we might be with the same guy!!! (just kidding!) Hes the exact same and he prides himself on being a hunga, hes being so good like he's not eating around me or anything, but an average day would be -- Breakfast 2 big bowls of cereal 4 slices of buttered toast 2...

Well its €63 a week for me, and just last week I paid for two takeaways to the house, costing €33 and €36 each! Thats only 2 days dinner!!!

I've promised myself that I keep to within 5lb of my ideal weight for 5 years I can have laser surgery to remove the stretch marks... Im only 21 and I have them everywhere, tummy, underarms, boobs, backs of my knees... And of course a boob lift... I live in fear of having "tennis ball stuck to...

And with that I give you all a solemn blessing, On this cold tuesday morning, may all of your trousers fall off you!!!! (In a weight loss way... ah you get me lol)

Chocolate, I am actually looking forward to it, with peppermint and nettle tea and a sweetener, cool it, blenderize it, and chances are someone would pay like 6 euro for it in Starbucks! Sniff... I miss Starbucks...

Weird Korma is one of my major cravings!!! And olives!

Jason Scott Lee - Lilo and Stitch!

PLus, your scales could be reading differently to the chemists, thats partially why its better not to weigh during the week, you could be all set up to lose more weight, then get to the chemist and their scale is totally different! Heartbreaking!!

Thats it! I'm taking a trip to the UK to get listerine strips!!! They're vital! (and I might just do a little clothes/shoe shopping while I'm there, who knows!?)

Its a pain but it really does work!! We just have to enjoy legging it to the bathroom every 15 minutes I guess!!!

Thanks you guys! Lol I guess everyone has someone in their life that they just can't wait to flaunt their new figure in front of!

Your stories are so inspiring! I can see elements of my goals in every one of your stories. So.. here goes... I did Lipotrim last year and lost 4 stone in 2 and a half months. This was after a long battle with my weight before that. I was a size 10/12 when I was 17, then after rapidly losing...

Lol it's someone on the lipotrim diet, its a total food replacement diet, pretty extreme but the results are well worth it!!

Welcome Pollyanna! I'm a lipotrimmer myself but best of luck!

Hi lipgirl and welcome! You've done so well don't lose heart! The water is the hardest part, but thats the trick, if you dont drink enough of it, you won't lose weight cause (don't quote me on the sciencey bit!) it sits in your body not being flushed out!!! The whole point of all the water is...

Oh my god that works... I used to visualise pounds of butter sellotaped to my body and trying to move and walk around with them... but that pound of fat is soooo much grosser!

Wow I never thought of it like that Lauren!! Lol now when people are standing too close I can threaten them with my "fat breath"!!!!

Well done Cathy! Happy Birthday, and isn't that the best feeling ever when your neighbours and friends don't know you and then that look of shock when they see you!!!

Could I join a team too please?? I promise I'll be super good!!

Reppin the Dublin possay!! (yoyo homies!) ha ha x x

Hands up who says Adam should be the Lipotrim Posterboy?! Get you! Well done!

Left my stupid lipotrim bag in my parents house so had none for a day last week, making today my day three only now... not too bad.... yet!

Sazpom - thats the exact same as me I can't get enough water into me! Although its pretty good for the skin too, getting thin and clear skinned at the same time, winner! Miss Unknown - I'm on my way! Shep - Lipotrim is a total food replacement diet. This means you dont eat anything at all...

Thanks girls! Minimay thats what I'm worried about, I dont think I could pull that off, I know I'd be stealing bits off other peoples plates lol.. but then the guilt! Fair play to you! Irene go you! You're an inspiration to everyone!

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie too, oh my god some of the results on this make me want to cry they're just so good! I'm going to California for the summer so I really want to get down to like a size ten ish, just so I can move comfortably, be happy with myself, and be delighted with my photos lol...

Thanks!!! God knows i'm gonna need the luck lol

Hi everyone! I'm a new lipotrim user, this is my first day so I just wanted to show my face and see if anyone else is in the same boat as me!:D

Day One! Hi everyone! I've just been reading over the thread and oh my god you've all done so well! Well, this is my day one anyway (if I'm being honest, its round 2, I did it in November of 2007 to January of 2008 and lost 4 stone, then moved out and started stocking my own fridge... big...
