    Aoife's holiday is over. Diet resumes

    Hello, I used to very overweight. Morbidly obese I believe. After lipotrim and lost a whopping 4.5 stone. Now with my overactive thyroid the weight is creeping back on including the bad habits. I've managed to keep about 2 stone off which is great. More or less my life has changed to the...

    I know what ye mean about the WW or SW etc. It's funny we get the rules, and then we try and figure ways around them or try to cheat the scales. I think with the calorie counting is you have your quota and then that's it. I'm also trying to pick the healthy options over the low calories rubbish...

    Aoife's refeed diary

    Hiya, I've have been very bad, naughty with the refeed diet, I don't even want to go into everything I ate over the weekend. Part of it was boredom, greed, dying to taste everything I thought I had missed, etc. I think I was rewarding myself with food. I've decided that I obviously...

    How much should I be exercising?

    I read in my thyroid diet book, I've an underactive thyroid, so need to exercise to feel more alert. But to stay healthy the government recommend 30 mins of exercise 5 times a week. However if you want to lose weight, you need to be doing more. The book recommended 1 hour 5 times a week.

    Ladies thoughts...2nd call back for smear??

    I've heard of a few people being called back for smears, I wouldn't worry about it. With Jade's story being very recent I'm sure they are being very thorough which is good. You're getting the best treatment. Good luck.

    craving food!

    Some people add chilly flakes to the soup, I know it's not strictly LT, but if it keeps you on the straight and narrow in the longterm, you could try it. I haven't, but I used to love the soup but have gone off it at the mo. Just an idea.

    weak willed - dont know how you do it

    Hiya, We all have the right to say what we think, it doesn't matter if you been on LT a minute or a year. Each one of us, bring a new aspect to the topic, and each one is valid. In fact you are probably more in tune with newbies compaired to me, because time can do funny things to your...
  126. Aoife

    exercise

    I think it's okay if you have been exercising before you start LT. Mind you, the first two weeks you might not feel up to it. I canoed, walked, and hillwalked before so the chemist said it was fine to keep it up. Which I have done except the hillwalking just didn't have the strength, to keep up...

    first day on lipotrim

    Hiya, sorry the first shake didn't go down well. But the shakes are only temporary while you are on Lipotrim and not for ever. I usually mix mine with coffee and make it up with hot water. Vanilla latte or choc mocha type of drink. Some people put loads of ice and sweeters and say it's like...

    Wow! Congrats! Brilliant loses. Well done.
  143. Aoife

    so mad at myself

    Hiya, I think after the first week and when you are in ketosis and not hungry any more the mental battle with food begins. You had a hard life knock and you turned to food, because that is what you usually did. But now you have learnt that you do that, so in the future you can try and change...

    Advice and Motivation Required Please

    I think the max water is supposed to be 4.5 litres. But appart from that I think everything else you are doing is fine. Best of luck sometimes you have to wait for the 7 days before you really see the weight coming off. I didn't feel light the first week, but I did feel less bloated. Good luck...

    Hello

    Welcome ! Best of luck with your first week. There is always ways around getting your shakes will working. I used to bring in a hand held blender, but now have Flackjacks at work. Very handy.

    hiii

    Hiya, You really do need to refeed properly. I would go down to the chemist and explain what is happening. I'm sure they'll let you refeed and maybe maintain programme until the end of August. If you don't refeed properly you can put on the weight you've lost and then some. Best of luck with...

    newbie who is confused

    Hiya, There are two choices when you are doing LT either TFR or the maintainence program. If your BMI is below, I think 28, they will only let you do the maintainence program. Apparently you do lose weight but at a slower pace. I'll be stopping LT for my holiday in September and was told that...
  157. Aoife

    No WI this week

    Hope you are feeling better soon. Fair play to your determination to not cheat. Good luck.

    argghhh week 7.. cravings

    I did too, but I craved all the wrong things like cake ????? at 7 & 8 wks. It does get easier. I think it is part of the mental battle. But talk yourself away from your craving. You can do it. Good luck with the rest of your week.
  160. Aoife

    can i be naughty for my birthday??

    Alcohol is a huge no no with this diet unless you refeed properly. Is it worth it ? for the sake of a few more weeks. Could you celebrate your birthday a wee bit later ? as you have so little to lose now.
  161. Aoife

    Why Am I Even Bothering???

    Hiya Abbey, I moved out when I was 19 too, so probably didn't have to too close for comfort stage with my Mum & me. But just take each week as it comes. If you feel like you are going to binge go for a walk or do some exercise, that usually suspresses my appetite. Hope your money is sorted out...
  162. Aoife

    and i dropped a BMI...but i need a little pick up

    Hey! You are doing brilliantly. You had a break in the middle so that would set you back a bit. But sure you are on the TFR plan now the the world your oyster. Dropping a BMI bracket is brilliant. You are on the step before being in the overweight category, so well done and give yourself pat on...

    What do you think of the Peanut Bars

    I actually like th peanut flapjacks, the 1st one not so much, but they have grown on me. They reminded me of dry roasted peanuts. Took a couple of times to get used to them, but they are so handy when out and about. Coconut tried one wasn't too fond of it, but maybe I'll give it another try next...

    I know with the LL, isn't there counciling or group therapy?, so if you feel that you need that then go for it.

    Help!!! Messed up, what's a girl to do?

    Once the physical battles ends (i.e. the hunger) I always think the mental battle starts and sometime it is hard to deal with at times. Every one is human and your blip was just that. The things that matters now is how you deal with it and continue on from it. You could rethink it through and...

    I feel brilliant, still can't used to the comments about the weight loss, it's like people have only being noticing in the last couple of weeks. Plus someone didn't recognise me either because they hadn't see me in ages. So If can do anyone on here can do it too. You've done brilliantly too...

    I think I'll need a miracle to keep me going another week...

    I can understand your fustration, and I know losing 1-2lbs a week is hard to keep motivated while others are losing more. But you are so near your goal, could be the reason too. You've less to lose. You've done absolutely brilliant in my eyes, and keeping on the Lipotrain shows great strength...
  228. Aoife

    I really can't believe i'm doing this!

    Well done you! This diet is great, it gives us a chance to lose weight and deal with our food demons, instead of tempting us with our food demons and then telling us we can't have more. That is just plain cruelty - tee hee!. You losses so far are brilliant. Keep up the good work and good luck...

  246. Aoife

    Doom fell off wagon

    I know how you feel. But just focus on keeping to LT, and the weight will come off. It's all a learning curve doing this diet, once you get into the swing of things the food issues we didn't know we had come to the surface. So fair play on not giving up and getting back on the wagon. Good luck...
  247. Aoife

    Doom fell off wagon

    Ach what is done is done, sure it's what you do now or how to react to your human blip that matters. Best of luck with the rest of your week.
