    Ketosis: in or out?

    Just a thought Sammy, are you eating enough?? I know it seems mad but the protein helps weight loss so eating plenty keeps the old fat burning going and drinking the water flushes it out! As a certain meercat says........"simples" ha ha if only it was that easy xx

    Ketosis: in or out?

    Hi Sammy, not sure if we are meant to achieve the kind of ketosis you would get with say lipotrim or lighterlife where you just have protein shakes!

    Maintenance to lose...

    Hi Dee,I have some left over 100% sachets and thought of doing a little refeed type week to give me a boost before Christmas, just not sure but can't seem to budge the last 2lbs!!! What do you think? Or I guess I could wait and do a 100% week after Christmas when there may be more than 2lbs to...

    Funny isn't it, I have just been to Laura Ashley and looked at a skirt I have been coveting and thought "typical 30% off and no size 16/18," then I suddenly realised I'm not a 16/18 anymore and they had a 14- guess who now has a yummy sexy size 14 (and not even tight) skirt for Christmas...

    Hi Lesley, just read your post, and OMG I have had some horrendous pains over the last few weeks - I finished TFR nearly 5 weeks ago. I am going to makea note of what I eat and see if there is a connection! Hope your pains have settled or been sorted! xx
  164. I

    Query

    Hi Tigger, you are right get advice from Dee, she is a fabulous inspiration to us all and well, just amazing!! (are you blushing yet Dee?) This way of losing weight is tough and people can be less than supportive in "real" life , so to have the level of support available from all the guys here...

  188. I

    It Works!!

    Have just started on my second week of maintenance and have to say this is working for me! I re-fed last week after much angst and lost another 2lb, so I plan to keep going until Christmas with a view to losing the last 7lb between me and my goal!! I have lots of social "challenges" coming up so...
  189. I

    Does this sound possible??

    Hi everyone, just wanted your thoughts please xx I have lost 2 stone so far and am around 10lb from my initial goal. However.... I feel really great as I am, and I was thinking of going on the maintenance products for 2-3 weeks to "settle in" to my new size. What are your thoughts? Thanks guys...

    Need advice on Lipotrim

    I think we are all diferent hun xx I use mostly chocolate and sometimes vanilla which I make up with loads of ice and a bit of coffee! I can't abide the strawberry, but some love it xx
  193. I

    maintenance and stuff

    I think they reckon around 2lbs a week if you follow the plan on the website! Just remember the helpful hunger curb of ketosis will go!! Hope all ok with you xxx

    Re-starting Lipotrim TFR, and have a related question

    There is also a website called Slim and save which may be helpful if accessing the pharmacy is a problem x Oh and I pay £33 for LT xx
  197. I

    What will happen....?

    Don't fret pet!! It just means you wont have had your full quota of nutrients for the day!! As long as you don't make a habit of it it wont affect your (amazing) weight loss xx Hope you feel better soon xx Oh and yes I have missed one "meal" on occasions and had no problems x
  198. I

    There are a whole page of recipes in Deezers diary, you just need to have a look through xx oh all right just mix the choc pack with some sparkling water,put mix on a saucer and cook in microwave for 2- 2 1/2 minutes! Be careful not to let it burn xx But check out the recipe page, it saved me!!!!

  206. I

    advice please

    I think you already know the answer hun... the meal will drop you out of ketosis so you will set yourself back by however long it takes for your body to get back !! Have a look at some of the other threads around this "challenge" there are some great stories about how people have coped and...
  207. I

    Feel so much better already!

    Good for you!! There is no doubt in my mind that you will keep on succeeding every week until you reach your goal x what an amazing woman you are xx

    Thanks hun, just so not like me!! I just went upstairs and tried on my size 14 trousers that fit and feel a bit better x I think only losing 2lb last friday started the decline as I had been doing target projections based on 3-4 lbs a week and now I feel that I may have to double my end date if...
  211. I

    Feeling strange!!!

    :sigh:Don't know why but I feel really out of sorts today!! could give in at the drop of a hat which is madness given that I am 6 weeks in and 24lbs down!!! Has anyone else had feelings like this ?? :sigh:
  212. I

    Compliment!!!

    Saw someone from my old workplace the other day and she looked at me and said.....( wait for it !!!) "ooh Jane who put you on a hot wash???" I'm taking it as a compliment ha ha xxx :8855:

  218. I

    Hello!

    Same for me , I try to weigh myself just once in the week before weigh in and I wish I could cut that out as well cos it is usually misleading and doesn't reflect my weight loss but a week seems so long to wait sometimes!! Sigh!!
  219. I

    starting to become concerned

    Good news hun x fingers crossed for next week too xx

    getting a lil disheartened

    I think I am getting a little bowel obsession going ha ha x Was wondering, as I am taking so much less in (ie 3 shakes!) why am I expecting my bowels to "perform" as if I was eating 3 meals a day??
  222. I

    starting to become concerned

  226. I

    New starter...survival tips? =]

    Bore da !! First few days can be tough but what I did was to drink peppermint tea when I felt hungry and check out the amazing sucess stories on this site! Be kind to yourself hun,the journey is soooo worth it!

    Taking dulcolax (bisacodyl)

    I was told it was ok to use senna and I have started taking them twice a week which seems to do the trick nicely (is that too much information?)!! I find it better for me if I don't let things build up too much ooops there I go again TMI !!!!
  230. I

    starting in morning

    Yeah, plain paracetamol are fine xx oh and the water you add to shakes doesn't count if you just make them up with the recommended amount, if you use extra water (I use about 400 mls) that extra counts , if that makes sense xx
  231. I

    Water Fast

    Not sure what a water fast is but why not just start LT straight away?? You will be geting your essential vitamins etc and get off to a great start to your weight loss!! Just water contains nothing but errrr..... water!! Not sure how healthy that is xx let us know how you get on whatever you do xx
  232. I

    Ummmm....

    Yup and it's another 4lb off so YIPPEE!!!!!

    Thank you all for the tips and tlc xx feeling a bit better today xx lets see what weigh day brings lol x you are such lovely caring people xx
  235. I

    Why am I not losing the days when I'm at work?

    Hey Twinklecheeks, I know it's tempting but weighing at home can be misleading-my scales told me I had put on 3lb one day last week but I lost 4lb at my weigh in!! Keep 100% and like Lilac says you will lose around a stone a month- you have lost more than that in the first 3 weeks!!!! Let us...
  236. I

    REFEED FOR JUST 1 DAY...

    Another idea would be to make the chocolate shake into biscuits (see previous posts) and take that /them with you! Make sure you take masses of water with you to drink too xxx hope all goes well x
  237. I

    Ummmm....

    Ok who gave me this killer sore throat?? I know it was one of you cos you have been talking about it!! Ha ha so its not just totm that we are sharing xxxx Ah well it will make the shakes go down a treat when I make them with masses of ice xxx :wave_cry:
  238. I

    Thank you all for the inspiration to start!!

    Ha ha I have a cat crawling over me as I write this!! Mind you am expecting the patter of 5 year old feet anytime xx then its off to work sigh ah well it pays for the lipotrim xxxx

    Hungry for two days

    An extra shake could knock you out of ketosis hun,this diet is so finely balanced there is no real room for extras!! Funny you mention feeling hungry though, I am in week 5 and although I am not ravenous I often feel like I would like to eat something and my tum still rumbles and grumbles away...

    Hit HALFWAY!!!

    Well done Emma-Jayne,you have done so well xx Like the others have said, wait and see how you look and feel when you get to 140lbs - and don't forget it's about your view not anyone elses! You are the one who needs to be happy in your skin, take care and don't forget that we think you are lovely...
  246. I

    Ok to use other TFR products as well as LT???

    LT make a big thing of re-educating our palates which is why they say the meals are bland!! So that's their excuse lol xx
  247. I

    do u think this will effect weightloss

    Lou please don't drink alcohol without refeeding! Your pharmacist, doctor and most of the regulars on here will tell you that drinking alcohol while in ketosis is truly dangerous! Others have ended up in hospital - you can find threads to back this up! I know I am going on hun but I would hate...
  248. I

    Me too!!!

    Mind you had my weigh in and still lost 4 lbs so not all bad news xx
