Yay! Please do that Skinny! Although maybe not in the TFR section, just cos most people here are on the shakes! The maintenance section maybe better????!!! We would love to see your recipies on the 'other side'! Carbonara is my fav! But deadly at the same time!!! lol!!!! xxx

Thanks for the recipie Skinny! Looks lovely, I shall give it a bash over the weekend! My bad C's are: Chips Cake Crisps Cupcakes Irish Hobo x

Hope you have a great holiday Jan! :) I love Kefalonia, such a lovely island, am very jealous! Enjoy! Suneeta x

Your pharmacist should have all the info for u, there is also a sticky somewhere with the menu for refeed. Here it is.... LIPOTRIM PHARMACY PROGRAMME. Refeeding after Lipotrim Total Food Replacement without Excessive Weight Regain. Preventing unnecessary weight gain after dieting...

I have to say that I cook the same for me and my parents, spag bol, chicken fillets, chips, salad and spuds. Basically we eat the same but in different quantities, I still weigh my food and my parents have what they like and enjoy the food I make! I just make sure I'm not punching above my...

Yay! Bev's back! Glad u had a great holiday! As Mary said most of that gain will be water weight so don't worry! You'll shift that in no time!!! I'm sooooo jealous you went to Rhodes, an island I'd love to visit! Bet u have a fantastic tan!!!! Lucky you! Glad to see you back!!! xxxx

When I looked back at my last post I didn't mean to sound negative either when I mentioned the water weight! It was just to let u know it happens to some people. Sorry! Sounds lovely! Cornwall is gorgeous, only been there once but thoroughly enjoyed it!!! :) Also the Csech Rep is amazing! I...

No probs! :) Yeah, I saw your other post about the chemist... sounds like a wench to me! Not helpful when they say things like that, they're supposed to be encouraging and supportive. She's probably jealous!!! ;) Don't worry, you wont put on weight if you follow the refeed and if you do...

Hi! You make the summer fruits, orange creme with 300mls of cold water. Veg soup with 300mls of hot water and the choccy whip with 250mls of skimmed milk. Actually I'm not sure if the choccy whip is 250 or 300mls when I think about it. Maybe someone else can clarify?! Yes you still loose...

Now that u mention it, the ones you get in a butcher would be thinner than the supermarket!!! :) xx

I always thought at pound of sausages was twelve Tanya!!! :) But lets not fight about it! ;) Maybe Irish sausages are different to English ones!!!! :) well done to you scotsmist considering all u went through this week with the op!!! Brilliant result! You must be delighted with yourself! :)...

Don't let me put you off, but it reminded me of the chicken soup and I didn't like it either!!! :) xx

Yeah, I've tried them all, but my favourites are the summer fruits and chocolate whip! :) The orange creme and caramel bar were too sweet for me and as for the soup.... YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!!!!! xxx

Hi Mary, it's 300mls of water! Hope I'm not too late! :) What did u think of it? Irish Hobo xx

Well done Tanya! That's a fantastic result! :) Just proves u can still loose whilst eating!!!! Irish Hobo x

Well done Bev! :0 That's great news! Enjoy your holiday! :) Irish Hobo xx

Thanks Adam! :)

In Dublin city, really? That's dreadful to hear. I'm actually a Dub myself but living in the north, surely there are other chemists you could go to? You're right, I would have thought the ones in the city would be more professional too as they would have a bigger clientele. I get weighed in a...

Gosh Daisy, that sounds awfully embarrassing to me! It's hardly discreet when people can see what's happening. Just out of curiosity, where in Ireland is this? Irish Hobo xx

Sure is Supaslimma! :) x

Thanks Michillinwoman, Joy, Jan and Mary! :) I still have a bit to go, but the end is in sight! Wouldn't be able to do it without the support of you and minimins! Irish Hobo xxx

Thanks Tanya and Bev! :) It feels great to be still loosing! xxx

I've heard of Peyton Place Jan! :) Only because my mum used to forgo going to church to stay at home and watch it! lol! xx

Well done Jo! All the suffering was worth it! :) Irish Hobo xx

It wont make any difference at all hun! I had it the night before my first refeed weigh in and I lost 3lbs! xx

Maybe gargle with salty water?? It's a natural antiseptic and the Japanese swear by it! Hope you feel better soon! Irish Hobo xx

Yeah, makes a nice change! :) xx

Lol Mary!!! No one will judge you, especially when it comes to choccy! ;) Can I join the challenge, I'm 10st 9lbs and would like to get down to 10st! Irish Hobo xx

Well done Chelly! That's great news! I think the heat is affecting your head!!! ;) xxx

Well done Tanya!!! Great you enjoyed your first meal! :) Good idea bout making you dinner smaller cos I felt very full and bloated after every meal for the first week, but my tummy has got used to it now! :) x

I wrap it in foil with about 2 tablespoons of water to keep it moist for 30mins at 200 degrees C in a fan oven! :) xxxx

Hang in there hun! It will be worth it when u step on the scales tomorrow. I had pins and needles in my legs quiet a bit and was told it's a lack of sodium. Dry lips, yep I had them too. But the swollen mouth don't know about. I'd tell your pharmacist tomorrow or ring lipotrim and speak to one...

Hi Tanya! You get it in the supermarket in the spice section. It's made by schwartz, called chinese five spice, you can also get thai seven spice. Haven't tried it yet though. But it makes the chicken taste sooooo good! :) Bet you can't wait till tomorrow, it's scary but exciting at the same...

Well done both of you! It's hard to do but the results speak for themselves in the end!! :) Irish Hobo xx

That's fantastic!!! Well done you!!! That takes a lot of willpower to do! :) Irish Hobo xx

Yum, sounds lovely Bev!!! :) I barbequed a chicken breast with chinese 5 spice on it and it was yummy too! I highly recommend trying that! Irish Hoboxx

You look stunning Tanya!!!! :) Well done on your loss so far!!!! The new dress looks lovely too!!! :) Irish Hobo xx

Oh dear.... stuck already!!! I got as far as adding an album and I'm not sure what "code" to add??!! Strange, usually u just choose a file and upload!!! xx

Lol!!!! :)

Hmmm... well I'll give it a go!!! There are sooo many choices and buttons to press when making a profile!!! xx

Some people pinch sweets you know!!! lol! :) Gaviscon tablets.....very funny!!!! xxx

Gaviscon is good for the tummy hangovers! :) xx

If u can call my dog a face to my name!!! lol!! I shall try and upload pics of myself. Although they will mostly be of me before I lost weight! :( xxx

Ooohh... I hadn't noticed that!!!! Great I can have a nose a peoples piccies and stuff! He he!! :) That should keep me busy for the afternoon!! lol! xxx

Tequila is evil too! My god a whole bottle of red aftershock!! No wonder your pee turned red!! he he!!! I've never tried coors light either....can't wait! :) Poor Ollie, nothing much u can do, but drink water and hide under the duvet for the day! xx

Exactly! Handsome rich men falling at our feet would be nice!!Lol! We can only dream!!! :)

Yeah she was, just a little wet and shocked I'm sure!!! That'd be cool! We could sit around like ladies in the garden and have tea and scones!!! Go for walks and read novels!!! Lol!!!

Yes, that's true!!! Spirits and shots area bad idea for me after beer as the night gets hazier and hazier and i do silly things!!! lol!

Four pints???!! Sure that's nothing! I wouldn't even have felt tipsy on that! lol!!! Oh Ollie....call yourself an Irish man??!!! Only joking! he he!x

Me too eight or nine pints on a nite out!!! x

Sounds like hard work... cooking it on the stove! lol! It's funny how some drinks change your attitude! Aftershock sends me crazy!!! Evil stuff!! Yeah I'd love to go on a night out in Belfast! Show off my new figure! lol! Maybe I should build up my tolerance for drinkies first! Wouldn't want...

Your back! How was the porridge? :)

Oooohhh! I'm a big fan of beer! At the moment I can't drink much of anything alcoholic as my body is still getting used to it! Which isn't a bad thing really, I just have to take it easy!

Hmmm... so it looks like vodka's the way forward! Well it was beer that piled on the weight for me so it's best avoided!! :( Thanks Ollie! x

Sounds heavenly to me! Like something outta an oldie English novel!!! lol! Poor Charlie!!! I had to rescue one of my dogs in a swimming pool, poor thing was blind and accidently fell in! xx

Hungover!! tut tut! ;) Just out of interest what do you drink.. alcohol wise???

I don't go to Belfast much myself, it's a nice city and has good shopping. I don't really know anyone there either! :( I have a few cousins who live in Glengormley but haven't seen them for yrs! I have heard it has a great nightlife! xxx

Words of wisdom from Ollie! lol!!! But yeah you are right build it up slowly and soon I'll be running marathons!! :) I'm already thinking of doing the womens mini marathon, but it's not till nxt May/June! lol! xxx

Cheeky!!! lol!!!! I'm thinking bout what to have for lunch!!! Can't believe u haven't had brekkie yet!! xx

Yeah, sometimes drive, sometimes get the train, depends on where I'm going!!! lol! Well there's nothing to do in Bessbrook, but walk if that makes u feel any better!!! :) Wiltshire, where in England is that? North? South?

Awww... a spare teddy!!! :) Yeah, I know it's strange how they like different places to where they grew up! I guess I'm the same too!! lol! We're lucky here, it's only an hr to Dublin and 40mins to Belfast! If you're driving fast like I do!!! Tut tut! Do u go to Belfast much? xxx

Me neither! :( Just me and my laptop in bed! Ha ha! My mums from Bessbrook and my dads from Dublin. So they were living in Dublin until three yrs ago when my dad retired and they moved up north to my mums original home.... does that make sense??! My dad loves it here, but my mum misses the buzz...

I know what u mean! Can't believe it's 11 o'clock already and I've done nothing but chat here! :) The weather isn't inviting me to go out today! lol!

Ah.... ok thanks hun! You've been a busy girl this morning replying to all those threads! Lol! All I can see is your name, one after the other!!! :) xxxx

Yeah they do! To be honest I'm glad it happened as I'd never have lost four stone! So it was a blessing in disguise! :) Only thing I miss are my friends, but I go down and see them regularly. I actually don't mind living up north, it's cheaper and I love the countryside! Bangor is nice, I've...

She's a black minature poodle! Full of life and up to no good most of the time! I should put her up as my profile pic. How do you do that? I mean which button do I press to up load a pic? x

He he he! Dogs are sooooo funny! Mines only nine months old and hasn't really learnt how to come back to you. So we have to keep her on the lead! Ahhhh your doggie looks lovely! Yeah boxers are strong dogs and very determined too!!! I'm in Bessbrook! Yes bandit county! But am actually a Dub...

I'm in Bessbrook, just outside Newry! :) I'm actually from Dublin but lost my job due to recession and moved up north to live with my parents! Where do u live?

Wooo... 55 lengths in an hour, that's really good going! :) I'm a little scared of putting on a swimsuit just yet! I still would like to loose a stone before I expose myself in public! I'm lucky I live in the country so I can walk around the country roads and hills! I don't take my dog as she'd...

Good old George! They're great for cooking steak and chicken! I must dig mine out of the garage, he's hiding in there somewhere! x

My refeed/maintenance is going well at the mo. Had a taste of chocolate and some wine. The choccy was divine and the wine (only 1 glass) went straight to my head and gave me a hangover! Lol! I'm slowly introducing different foods which is nice! :) Not sure if I've lost much this week, but I'd...

I second that, the weather was not so nice in the north! :( Lucky you getting the sun in Cork! I'm cooking my dad steak and pepper sauce, haven't decided on dessert yet! :) Irish Hobo x

Looking good!!! ;) I bet the sirloin steak tasted FANTASTIC! Yummy yum yum! :)

Erm.... I think that one was directed at me!!!:) But yes brisky brisky is the way to go! I worked up a sweat (sorry TMI) and I felt great for doing it! :) Will go and buy some proper walking trainers next week as an incentive to keep me at it!!! Do you do much exercise? Irish Hobo x

Ahhhh.... that's lovely Bev! It's nice when family and friends recognise your big achievement! :) I also found it strange using my jaw to chew food again! Enjoy the refeeding! Irish Hobo x

Brilliant... the boot up the **** was worth it then!! That'll teach her not to do others outta free samples! Power to the little people...eh?! :) I bet u had a big grin on your face when she handed them over to you! He he! :) Glad you're enjoying the bars! How's your refeed going? Still...

Thanks Chelly! :)

Ahhh.... Ollie to the rescue! :) Thanks for working that out, maths was never my strong point! ;) Thanks Kered! Looked it up on the internet and it's classified as a brisk walk! I surprised myself! Irish Hobo x

Mine neither! Lol!

I'm just back from a walk and I'm trying to figure out my walking speed. I walked for 23 minutes and did a distance of 1.5 miles. (It nearly killed me!!!) :ambulance: I'm thinking it's about 4mph??? I dunno???? Anyone know? :confused: Thanks! Irish Hobo xx ;)

Well done MichillinWoman! That's brilliant news! :) Just goes to show if we can figure out the foods that our bodies disagree with, we can control our weight! Irish Hobo xx

Hey MiniB! Well done on todays 2lb loss!!! Such a great finish to the TFR! :) You've done soooo well sticking with it for 24 weeks, an inspiration to many people here! Enjoy the chicken salad tonight! It'll knock your socks off! :) See you in the refeed section! Irish Hobo xx

I personally weigh chicken and fish raw as they shrink when cooked. Pasta, rice and potatoes are weighed after cooking as they absorb water and will weigh more. It says on the sheet to weigh pasta and rice when cooked. I could be wrong bout the fish and chicken, although the average chicken...

Lol Binged on the maintenance bars! :) It could have been worse hun! ;) I didn't like them myself, found them too sweet and very hard to finish! Irish Hobo xx

Yeah, it's very strange how they can justify bumping the price up, especially as it's sterling as well! Or why they wont post free samples to anywhere in Ireland. At the end of the day we're all doing the same diet so the prices should be same universally! I can't remember if Jan mentioned...

Your welcome Missy! :) Yeah I think we'd all be sitting there till xmas trying to polish it off!!! Oooohhhh new digital scales... I'm jealous!!! Might invest in some new scales, I'm loving shopping for anything now! After feeling and living like a hermit for 16 wks! Lol! Trust me u can't go...

I thought they only did caramel bars too! Now I'm confused and poor Jan feels deprived! Will question the pharmacist on tuesday! He he he! :) Just stick with the refeed plan Missy and I'm sure you'll get a loss at the weigh in! :) Choccy whip tastes a little strange to start but it's very...

It's 4-6oz raw! :) I've never weighed it after it's cooked. Interesting how much less it weighs, must be all that water! Gosh, imagine the amount of chicken we'd have to eat if it was 4-6oz cooked!!! Irish Hobo x

Thanks Missy! I'm delighted with the loss during refeeding! Yeah, I was sooooo full after the first "lunch" and "dinner" on day two. Don't worry your stomach will get used to it and you wont feel as bloated or full! :) If you think the summer fruits is sweet, wait till you try the orange creme...

Good luck with ringing Lipotrim again! I hope they can sort you out. Refeed is going well thanks, had a weigh in yesterday and lost 3lbs. Was very surprised I lost that much cos it felt like I was eating lots! Glad your refeed is going well. I'm also struggling to get 2 litres of water down me...

Hi Missy! I'm in Northern Ireland and not entitled to free samples from Lipotrim in the post. However when I started refeed last week, my pharmacist said I was getting five free samples from them in my first week. I'm not sure if this applies to the Republic too. But I don't see why it shouldn't...

Sure, no problem! Yeah the simplest flavours taste so good now. As for the maintenance products, they are quite a bit thicker than tfr shakes. I find the orange creme and carmel bar quite sweet too after being on tfr. This week will go quickly and before you know it you'll be eating again...

Hi MiniB! Yes they can either replace a meal or be had before a meal. Whilst refeeding and maintenance they replace your breakfast. I think you gradually stop having them for breakfast on maintenance until you are maintaining your weight. However during maintenance if you find you are snacking...

Thanks for that Supaslimma! I had a chicken breast and salad and it tasted divine after all those shakes! :) Cheers! Irish Hobo

Hi! I'm starting re feed today and I'm just wondering how long you bake a chicken breast in the oven for????? I'm thinking about twenty mins?! Thanks! Irish Hobo x:)

Awww... your poor dog! I agree with yumyum. Codliver oil is good for dogs (and humans) with stiff joints. Although it sounds like your dog might have pulled a muscle. Which can be easily treated with medicine. I hope he gets better soon and it's nothing too serious. xxxx
