Hi John, I'm 5 months off the smoke and at this moment, not sure what would I rather have, food or a smoke???? But the comparison is brilliant, I don't actually "crave" either, I just miss both ;-) but I also miss fitting in my clothes!!!!
Hi everyone and myself...
1st weigh in today and I lost 6lbs!!!!!! I'm delighted... it really does make a difference when you see that the weight has gone down... hopefully this "high" will last till next Wednesday, the last couple of days were mentally hard, every smell of food made me dream...
Thanks for the best wishes...
1st weekend out of the way.... wasn't easy with Father's day as I had to bake with the kids :eek:, but even though I was badly tempted :mad: I didn't give in :cool:...
Day 6, not feeling really hungry as such, just wanting something "nice"... so I drink water...
Hi Plym2bslim, I hope we both have a wonderful 1st weigh in next Wed!!!! Looking forward to the pounds dropping!!!! and yes, we started on the same date.... how are you doing so far? today I'm not bad, but yesterday I was feeling weak and hungry...
2nd day nearly over, today wasn't "pretty".... Was hungry and felt a little weak, in bed now reading about many success stories to inspire me... Hopefully tomorrow will be better... Or at least not worse:rolleyes:
Ciao to all and to myself :4635:
:D Hi Everyone... Hi myself :rolleyes:
Today I'm starting lipotrim... excited and scared at the same time...
What can I tell you about myself...
2nd time on a TFR diet, the 1st time I was on CD, I lost 5 stones and kept the weight off for 2 years... then I went on and had a baby... and then I...
Hi, I'm a new Lipotrim dieter... started today and I'll be weighing myself every Wednesday, I hope that next week I'll have as good a weight loss as all of you:rolleyes:
Don't mind me, it's all ENVY!!!! and I've been 10 years in this country, I should be used to it by now... well, I am not!!!!
Probably the fact that last year I spent 3 months in Rome during the maternity leave didn't help, I started to think that summer meant sun :sigh::sigh:... today is cr@p...
Hi Jules, I'm Naj, I'm at the end of my weight loss journey so I dropped out of the team for the WIs, but am still a Skinny Beatch!!!! I live in Ratoath, not far... just wanted to say good luck and this is a great team to keep you motivated!!!!
Lin, don't complain for the heat, do you want to...
Definitely Thank God for CD!!!!
Moving up the plans, it's actually easier to SS as you don't feel hungry, but I have a photo of me fat on the fridge, so if I'm tempted, I look at it and change route!!!!
From a 24 to a 12, you're half the woman you were, so proud of you!!!!
Another month or so...
Joining in as well, only 4lbs for me, but I'll be delighted if I do it!!!!!

Hi Jan,
when I moved to 810, the first week I gained 2 lbs :mad::mad::mad:, the following week I had a 3.8lbs loss!!!:D:D then STS the week after :rolleyes: and moving up the plans, in 3 weeks I lost another 3.5lbs... :p:p:p
So stick to it and the weight will come off, I know it's depressing...
PS. my goal is to eventually reach the 140lbs, I wasn't planning in losing weight now, I was leaving that to after the holidays, but who am I to complain if the weight goes now:D:D:D
You know what, since I've lost the weight and I'm "normal" again (weight wise, I was always...
Vicky, thank you very much!!!! and glad you're back on CD, it's hard but is SOOOO works!!!!!
Thanks Lin, doing great at the moment, busy busy in work, which probably explains why I don't have loads of time to think about food!!!!
Collette, so glad you're back, how is the big family doing...
Hi All you Skinny Beatchs...
as you can see from my signature, I'm giving the diet a break... I look and feel good, so I'm thinking of stopping at this weight or maybe try to lose some more after the summer, but luckily, I've been following my own "diet" in the past 10 days and haven't put on...
Hi All, so far I've Lin's and Deb's WI... mine, STS!!!! but not complaining at all, seeing that I went out twice this week (for b'day) and eat a fair bit!!!!!
Debs, really sorry for your daughter, I hope she's better and that you recovered from the scare...
Lin, I know you said that it was going to happen sooner or later, but it's still very hard when it happens... Regarding the plans, I moved up when I was 11 st 2 lbs...
I was on the 13th week on...
TOM, what a pain in the backside!!!!
Last week, when I had it, for the first time in too many years I actually felt bloated, my trousers were a little bit tighter... it probably was happening before as well, but couldn't really feel it with all the fat :D:D:D
Lin, I'm having the same problems with OH's family, they're telling me that I've lost enough and to stop!!!! Based on my BMI, I can still lose weight without being too skinny (which I sure am not!!!)...
OH's mum, sister and sister-in-law aren't slim, not huge either, sizes 12-14 and they're...
This is what I have so far...
Debs, 1.5 lbs lost, 0.91%
Naj, 1.6 lbs lost, 1.05%
PJ, 5 lbs lost, 2.79%
Lin, 3.5 lbs lost, 1.98%
Team 24, 11.6 lbs lost, 1.72%
So far I've Lin's WI (3.5), PJ's (5), Debs (1.5) and mine (1.6)...
(Debs, did I read your post correctly? have you lost 1.5lbs this week?)
Gilly/Sharon, any news from you????
Gilly,
welcome back!!!! I think you should make sure never ever to leave us, when you do, you put on weight!!!! we're your lucky charms!!!! :p:p:p fingers crossed for WI on Sunday...
Sharon, your WI was yesterday, how did it go???
Debs, is your WI always on a Friday? :cross::cross:... do you...
Lin, that's great, you're really losing the weight fast, anytime soon and you'll be at goal...
Very quiet week, we're all enjoying the weather!!!!
Any news from Sharon or Gilly?
Molly, I guess that's up to you, based on your target and how many WIs you planned.

don't really feel like moving up to 1000 and not losing weight...
Reading the posts in the maintenance section, there were quite a few girls that like me weren't losing weight on the 810 and 1000 steps, they all agreed that you will gain some glycogen and water... so it must have been that, it's just that I should have checked it out before I started the step...
:character00100::character00100::bliss::wow::wow::wow:I'm in shock, I weighted myself this morning (I know, too much????) and I lost another 1.2lbs!!!!!!! this week, so far, 3.4lbs!!!!!!!!
I LOVE 810!!!
Lin, we're so different!!!! my legs look skinny and my bum I can't find anymore!!!!! stomach is now the only part I really want to lose the weight... but I feel like a new person!!!!

I had 1 tetra (or 1 porridge) around 3pm
1 mousse (vanilla or choc... yummy!!!!) around 7pm
1 bar (choc or caramel or toffee) around 9-10pm...
I need to eat later at night!!!!
I actually still do that, but add a dinner around 8pm as on 810 at the moment

Lin, if I lose between 1.5 and 2lbs a week, I'd be delighted!!!!!!!! My BMI at 155lbs is exactly 25, so nearly in the healthy zone!!! I've another 9 weeks before hols and 15lbs to go, even if I lose 9 and be left with 6 to go, I'll be delighted, considering that 3 months ago I was 197lbs...

HI girls,
went to CDC today, told her about my reservations about 810, she reckons that after 12 weeks loss, I could have a STS week, no big deal (well, it is to me, hungry as out of ketosys and no weight loss!!!), but she measured me and there was a loss there, in 6 weeks I lost 2in+ from my...

Gilly, how are things???

3 days off in a row, must sound like heaven to you!!! take it easy, don't eat ;) and hopefully the...
I'm not sure if I enjoyed... I was actually feeling guilty eating food:copon:
I had chicken with herbs (oven baked) and a yogurt/cucumber/mint salad (which I knew I liked), I guess it didn't taste as satisfying as I'd hoped:confused::confused::confused:
I enjoyed the mousse more:p:p:p
I think...
It sure is!!!! I'm going to have my first bite of real food in 2 hours, I don't know if I'm happy about it or not, cause if I'm kicked out of ketosys, hunger will be at me again!!!!!
today I'm going to have chicken and cucumber/yogourt/mint salad... I'd rather have the choc bar instead...
Oh well, forget the mackarels then :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I don't recall tuna in water, are these in normal supermarkets?
+, as I don't really drink milk, how much yogurt can I have instead, and which one is the best?
Hi, I'm starting 810 today and looking through this great post for inspirations, and I've to say I sure found loads!!!! the tuna in brine, how much of it are we allowed? and can we have mackarel in brine as well?
Hi, another 3lbs gone this week for me, but as I'm moving up to 810, I need to remember that I'll be losing less from now on and not to be disappointed!!!!! I'm nearly not overweight!!!! and compared to what I looked only 3 months ago, I feel skinny!!!!!
More studying for me today, I don't know...

I know what you mean, I moved from Italy to Ireland when I was 21, still a "lovely" size 10, there are people I haven't seen since that don't know of my "transformation"!!!!!
Novax, I was slim till I was 23, then I started eating cr@p and with PCOS, the weight just started to pile on... I lost 2st on WW 2/3 years ago, then got pregnant, I didn't put the 2st back on, but am very fed up not enjoying shopping and avoiding occasions and I just wanted to feel good...
Hi Novax, you're more than welcome to join our team, I'm Naj, 31 yrs old and on SS 11 weeks, finding great so far and enjoying my weight loss...
:welcome:
When I had my first meeging with my CDC, I asked her if CD worked, to which she said yes... she also said: "You're the weight you are because of the way you eat, if once you lose the weight you go back to eating the way you did, your weight will go back up!!!!!"...
She also mentioned that's VERY...

Hi PJ, I live in Ratoath, not far... when/where are you getting married??? and there sure isn't any better reason to lose the weight!!!! have you picked a dress yet or are you waiting for the weight loss???
