Hi Does anyone happen to know the syn value in Delia inspired roasted red pepper and feta with black eyed beans Delia inspired sundried tomato and parmesan with orzo pasta I used to eat these before slimming worls and wondered whether I could have one at lunchtimes occassionally as bought 2...

Hi can't help sorry. I too am off to prezzo next week but am veggie and don't like chilli. Not sure whether to go for the goats cheese flatbread from light choices which I have calculated roughly at 24syns. Or the fusilli con bufala. It's quite hard and not sure whether pasta is free as fresh...

I've been soo bad tonight, putting out nibbles was a mistake as I munched half of them. Then it was healthyish pasta followed by cheese and biscuits and copious amounts of wine. Think I'll go to the gym tomorrow and be angelic but I know it's Sunday roast tomorrow ;(

Is low calorie wine less syns just thinking in the week

Thank goodness it's not just me. I'm not an alcoholic or anything (denial and all that) ;))) no really! But I do enjoy a couple of glasses of wine after a hard day in work and it became habit so add up all those calories and I've put 1.5stone on since last year. I tried sw at a club but didn't...

Hi dirty dancing Regarding the following post; Mediterranean Vegetable & Mascarpone Sauce with Penne, ambient, 250g pouch 3½ 12 3½ Does that mean it's 3.5syns on extra easy for the whole pouch? Thanks. Restarting 1st week after a dismal attempt over summer which saw me the same as when I...

Thanks, calorie wise they are less than mackerel so thought I'd give them a go. I know ww tuna in tomato sauce is 1.5 so wasn't sure.

Thanks for that, not too bad for a lazy lunch when I don't get chance to boil some the night before

I saw these in Tesco today and decided to buy them and now can't find the syn value anywhere. I assume they aren't too bad but have done that before so want to check. Anyone had them? Opinion?

What about Tesco Mackerel in tomato sauce?

Hi Can someone please help and tell me how many syns the Dolmio Pasta Twists are on Extra Easy? :wavey:

I am due to go out and need to calculate syns. Its an important dinner and a set menu so I can choose the healthiest thing of it and try not to eat it all and say I am too full for dessert anyway its restaurant food, I should be able to have fish and potatoes for the main which should be fine. I...

Hey there Sophie Good luck and hope it goes well. I have 2 stones to shift. Try to eat brekkie even if just an apple as otherwise you will get hungry and then be more likely to snack when you are having a bad day. Also it will kick start your metabolism. The online diary is brilliant to allow...

Starting tomorrow! I have been on Lipotrim before and did well so second time around I want a quick fix so at least I don't have to buy a size bigger in my jeans. I know this site was a great inspiration last time and kept me going when I thought I could take no more. See you all tomorrow!:)

Wow congratulations BecD that is fantastic...17lbs that is amazing...keep up the good work.

I like the off drink for lent and will definitely use that one...I think the off food for lent may be pushing it a bit far ;o) Well I'll have to stick to shakes all weekend or otherwise I'll be doomed because I've just been really bad and weak and fallen off the wagon. You'd think a 1lb loss...

It may be a few things, the weigh in between morning and afternoon may slightly add to it..but it may also be because you are taking longer to get to ketosis so you may see better results for yourself in week 2. I nearly cried and gave up after my week 2 weigh in but had decided not to until I...

Good luck with the weigh in Bec D....let us know how you get on. Kelly - this is the best place to come for support but it will be great to have the support of your mum, that way you can both get throught it. Happy Birthday for tomorrow and let us know how you get on. Its not easy but it does...

I've been bad....very bad!! and now I'm feeling very guilty. After nearly giving up last week I decided to carry on. The shame....I've fallen off the wagon for a cheese salad sandwich on brown bread...it was gorgeous but now I am feeling very guilty. But I'm dusting myself off and getting...

SBR08 - well thats happened, so instead of just giving up, get back to healthy eating. Thats the difference I have always found you can have 1 naughty day but if that causes your whole diet to fail then you just give up and eat whatever you want. I don't know what I am going to do at the...

well I'll never know if my indiscretion caused only a 1lb weightloss. To be honest I can't imagine that 1.5days before weigh in something that is low in fat (no added fat either) and allowed on the atkins will make me put on weight. I have been drinking at least 4litres of water a day. So last...

Crazyfrog...as you can see by the results the omlette must have had an effect but one bloomin pound....you've got to be kidding! I could have done that on a salad diet. After posting on the forum that I was going to give up I have been motivated and jeered up by the great people. So although I...

I asked the pharmacist and she said they don't stock them anymore because people kept bringing them back and they kept going out of date...I think that says it all to me ;o)

Wow...you guys really are motivational....well I did eat last night but only 2 tbsps of green veg and quorn as per refeed. Had my shakes today so on the basis of all your advice, I'll continue on with my evening shake and see how I get on. Thanks for everyones advice....I think the lack of...

Well after a weigh in where I lost only 1lb I just don't think I can do this. I am going to just do it the way of exercise and have lipotrim twice a day or if I get in from work and need to grab something quick. I know this gives great results to everyone but there is no way that I can endure 3...

Hi I was wonderign I browse and add bits to threads and find some of them interesting but is there a way of easily tagging them so you don't have to scour each time?

Congratulations...I bet that feels great. Once I reach goal I should have a whole wardrobe open up to me. Its sad but I have loads of pairs of trousers jeans to try and get back into as each time I gained weight I bought 'fat jeans' and so now have quite a collection.

I'm actually getting a taste for green tea now...even managed not to have a latte in motorway services and asked for a cup of hot water and added my own tea bag. As for the flapjacks...I have weigh in tonight and was considering the coconut one....I may just try it in the shop and then if it...

I too must air my sins ...I had a relapse at the weekend. To be honest nothing bad and normally would be diet food as just thought I needed to eat. Mushroom omlette cooked with no fat,oil or anything. I don't mind that so much but I am absoultely starving today to the point I actually feel quite...

Well said Irish mum...I had a relapse at the weekend. To be honest nothing bad and normally would be diet food as just thought I needed to eat. Mushroom omlette cooked with no fat,oil or anything. I don't mind that so much but I am absoultely starving today to the point I actually feel quite...

Welcome Jenny This is a great site for the support to get through this and definitely keeps you motivated.

Wellandgood, must be your weigh in soon? I have mine tomorrow and am not expecting great things but we'll see. I can tell I haven't lost loads but just 4lbs I'd be happy with. Well good luck to you

Steer clear from fibreclear, it did nothing for me. I have managed to go to the toilet today after a senna but its the first time in 13 days and it was not pain free...I'm drinking loads of water though

Welcome lenafrog & sully2009, this is a great forum for encouragement. Crazyfrog....at least you lost some and like you say you are climbing back on the bike. I kinda had to fall off the wagon on sat night...I went out and ended up staying out longer than I thought I had refused food but was...

I couldn't stomach the soup...it tasted like dishwater. I was considering asking for 1 flapjack next time - opening outside chemist to try and then if ok swap some more shakes for them.

Congratulations that brilliant..well done

let us know your verdict summergurl, do you need to wait so many weeks before asking for flapjacks? or does the pharmacist offer them as an option?

Welcome and good luck daisyanne. The results are defnitely worth it...i'm just having a bad day. Had one last Friday but got through it so will persevere. Just feeling sorry for myself. This is a great forum to keep you entertained and motivated.

Choc Chick - I'm in the same place at the moment.... I'll keep going to my weigh in on Monday but then thats me for all out LT just going to do 2 shakes and a teeny meal instead. Its the evenings I really struggle.

Welcome Liv, Catkinz & Cyber. Hope you'll find this useful it is a good forum and I'm gutted I haven't had chance to log in for a while. Niki - don't beat yourself up, you may not lose as much but as long as you are drinking water and a prawn which is just protein won't make too much...

This forum is great and does help in motivating...thanks all

I think if I had exercised then I may have lost more, I am going out for a 30min walk over lunch and may try and get on the treadmill tomorrow and see if that helps.

yes you're only allowed leaf teas...no fruit or citrus. BEWARE - don't put your hot liquid in a shaker as Yasmine said it was an explosive experience....and I ended up with not much to drink as a result ;o)

Ketosis Kate - it sounds like you have an allergy to one of the ingredients which would be helped by antinhistamine but I would speak to your pharmacist as you really shouldn't be loading your body with something that is causing an allergic reaction. If you keep overloading your body then in...

Good luck all of you just starting...I made it to first weigh in. Just keep focused...its not easy in the first week and you might have weak moments but just think of the results you'll see at weigh in.

I know I haven't lost body fat so thats not the reason. But I am definitely feeling the cold. My boss doesn't know I am on the diet but came into my room saying how hot it was but when she felt how cold my hands were asked if I was sickening for something..

I have read the warning but may just try this tonight and see. I tried making the hot-choc, lost all sense and made the mistake of trying to shake while hot. Result was exploded chocolate all over the kitchen....I put my lack of judgement down to hunger ;o) Puddinpie...welcome to the forum. I...

Perfect symmetry ;o)

I tried some of that fibre-clear but took 1 spoonful for 2 days with only bad stomach cramps to show for it. Fibrogel instead of being a laxative actually provides you with additional fibre so this may help.

:girlpower:Ha ha.... Basically men are made up differently...they have smaller brains than women which weigh less....but they are also made up of a lot of poop which flies off them a lot quicker than the good things woman are made up of. James - only a bit of truthful harmless banter. Men need...

Look at the willpower shown Summergurl, alternatively I guess you could buy a ticket and then if you win give to any children in your family? ChellyWelly - congratulations on the refeed. I'm sure it is rather scary starting eating again after shakes...I'm already starting to bore my partner...

I'd definitely get the stag do out of the way first...its not the right idea but I had a pizza the night before I started ;o( Like the others said if you just tot up what you spend in the week its not bad. I used to end up buying lunch most days then there was the bottle of wine on the way home...

Now if only I could remember my ticker pin code to update....oops

Debbie As MummyEm said you have had such amazing results in the first 2 weeks. Whether it is 2 1/2lbs or more you have still lost. I would just clarify when you go for your next weigh in. To be honest they had trouble converting mine and said I'd probably lost a little over 6lbs but she'd round...

Wellandgood Well we made it through the first week, 8lbs is fantastic. Congratulations!! I am going to try and add in a teeny bit of exercise as I'll be properly into ketosis now but we'll see. I am going to try very hard this week not to weigh myself as I think stepping on the scales before...

Well after some pretty dark moments and thinking of giving in I managed to get to weigh in and have lost 6lbs! Ok so I must say I secretly hoped for a 10lb loss seeing some other losses but I'm happy to take what I can. So I am now into my second week. For those just starting it really is worth...

Chelly Hope you're feeling ok about everything now...these triggers can send you over the edge sometimes...my ex was the biggest **** alive, constantly put me down and cheated on me. The flipside is while I was with him I controlled my weight and was a size 8 but with happiness comes contentment...

yum yum Congratulations on that loss...that sort of weight is noticeable in your clothes and how they fit so well done. Well hopefully I'll be the same as you at weigh in because my scales didn't give me the best picture so we'll see. I even have the same shoes and trousers on so I don't get...

Fabulous and well done - I have my weigh in today and hoping for a miracle but doubting it.

James If you go on the Lipotrim website www.lipotrim.co.uk and then look under Pharmacy programme and then at the bottom of the page it will direct you to pharmacies near you. Welcome to the site men and women welcome as it takes support whoever you are and this forum is great for that! No beer...

Crazy Frog Welcome to the LT forum, I was new to this thing and firums a week ago but has been invaluable in 1) seeing that everyone else goes through the same thing and 2) for support and to keep you busy. I have been on LT for 7days now and have weigh in tonight. I am dreading it as although...

Well I tried peppermint tea...not really sure but may continue but I used it cold to mix with the choc shake which was at least a change. I can't believe for the first time I actually felt full and struggled to finish my shake....never thought that would happen. This site is great for keeping...

Choc Chick Just get through every day at a time, my partners parents don't do 1 course a meal with them is 3 courses and even a bite to eat usually has a pud at the end. If it came to it and you couldn't last your birthday weekend then speak to the pharmacist and see what is on the re-feed...

Chock chick Please don't give in...I'm on day 6 and am feeling great today. It'll take a while for your stomach to start getting used to not having so much food so fill up on water and I have been having green leaf tea as its hot. Didn't think I'd like it but its ok. I nearly gave in on Friday...

I'm only in the very early stages but after having a gander at the refeed forum and seeing how well people are eating on refeed I want to get myself prepared. I am a vegetarian...am I going to be completely screwed on refeed or is there lots of ideas. Does the pharmacist give you something about...

Well I may just give peppermint tea a try as you all seem such advocates. I have been drinking the green tea which I am actually getting used to now and its nice to have a warm drink. How long do you leave the teabags in for a nice flavour?

Welland good You have spurred me on to do some exercise saying that, I'm now on day 5 and not actually feeling too bad at all. Just willpower that weigns...I ask myself how come I can have the willpower to near starve myself on 500 kcals a day but can't actually stick to healthy salads with no...

Hi Helenme at least you have the results last time to spur you on...do you exercise in the first week. I haven't done anything so far and the weight is not dropping of as I'd hoped. I have stuck to it 100% aswell...not easy by any stretch of the imagination, nearly gave up last night...was so...

Having a manic day in work so not actually having time to breathe let alone think about food. Just been offered some food by my boss so I could eat on the go but managed to resist...well know burger chain! Last night I was feeling weak...about to give in so tidied the house to keep me busy. I'm...

Well done you....I just need to get to weigh in. Feeling v.hungry now!

Moomin - well please stay around. I'm getting hunger pangs at the moment and feeling weak but trying to focus on the weightloss. I'm drinking so much water but its just not filling the gap. I'm going to try and make a chocolate mousse tonight so I feel like I am at least eating. I have tried a...

Thanks for the replies, to be honest I've never drank so much water in an effort to stop me eating I'm having a glass of water instead. I've just had my lunchtime shake and would like to say I'm satisfied but that would be a lie. I guess as you eat less your stomach will shrink and you'll start...

I am now on day 3 and have felt hungry but just trying to get myself to first weigh in where I hope the weightloss will spur me on. Keep at it :)

Andyroo - I too am new and currently on day 3. I can't say I haven't been hungry but it will be worth sticking to it like glue come weight in. Keep us posted on your progress.

Baby Ellie....we all have moments of weakness but at least you didn't give up all together and got back on the wagon. You have done great so far so keep up the good work!

Well done on your weightloss so far, just getting used to the site and it is a definite source of inspiration.

Thanks for the feedback....does your wee smell because I have noticed that but no strange taste in my mouth and as I can't smell my bad breath ;o) Can you have mints or how do you keep the bad breath at bay?

Yum Yum. Completely understand why you don't want people to know afterall its not their business...nothing wrong with being honest. I think I will be more willing to say what I've done when people notice. To stick to it is an achievment. Well nearly strawberry shake time

well done thats fantastic...I'm a newbie and my weigh in is on Monday hopefully I'll be able to lose the same. Can I ask does anybody exercise in the first week? I feel I may not lose as much if I do nothing.

Irish mum I am just starting day 3 and although I my partner knows I haven't told only my closest friend as you will get the grief. Even my partner asked whether I was stupid..I'm not. I am under no illusion that this is a very low calorie diet and the more energy you use when taking in less...

Not quite sure what I'm doign with regards to posting so may find out a little more first.

Hi everyone I'm new to Lipotrim but my friend had such amazing results I thought I'd give it a go, I just need the kick start to get me into the healthy eating. I want to lose about 1 1/2 stone. I am 2 sizes bigger than I used to be and went into Next (which are generous) and realising if I...
