Just weighing straight away was the best thing...

    those who've been doing it for a while - do you really lose your hunger?

    I have just finished my second week. The hunger does go, but when it is time for my shake I do feel sometimes like I REALLY need them. Also, when I am cooking for my family I do have a tendancy to smell food! A lot! ha ha. It is getting much easier tho so stick with it xx

    Hiya everyone! Still at it. Last night was not as bad as I expected actually. I thought a few times during the day I was going to give in. Kept thinking to myself "but its New Year!" all day but the night was ok. Had a lovely bath and used all my new smellies I had for Christmas. Got in my...

    Struggling!

    Hello Mrs Bee. Glad you are sensible in getting NYE out of the way! I had to start yesterday. I was so shocked at having put a stone on and also I thought it might be easier to start it when I'm off work. Really fancying that Indian now mind. Oh well, Ive started now and its best to nip it...

    Struggling!

    Hiya. No I'm not doing anything for New Years Eve. Had planned a nice quiet night in with my hubby, a lovely bottle of wine and an Indian. He's still having the curry but I can have a milkshake, toast in the New year with a glass of sparkling water! I wish I never let my gain go this far...

    Whats the best way to lose 83lbs

    I lost 39 lbs in 8 weeks doing lipotrim. It is hard as you cannot eat at all but so worth it. When you get into the swing of it you dont feel hungry at all. I would never have lost all mu baby weight by now if i didn't do this diet. I have bene maintaining for months and I now eat healthily...

    It is hard and I know what you are saying. I don't know whether I am better off having more substantial meals (like today) and laying off the snacks as having really low cal meals I still find I am hungry later on. I am a night picker though, when I am watching telly! I suppose the snacks...
