Jan 16 - restart

Hi missus. Just checking in on you and delighted to see you're in those oul 14s. Woo hoo! I'm still messing around at the same weight but delighted not to be gaining. Speak to you soon. Good luck with judd, you're doing great.

Hi cate. Loving the new picture. You're a smasher! I can feel you reaching those 14s in my water. You're nearly there.Go girl. I'm still on the sideline but very much like those roses, I have no intention of throwing away what I have lost so far just struggling to buy some more roses at the...

Thanks cate. Don't know what happened. Been generally feeling down about everything. Just a bit pi**ed off for no particular reason and not sleeping well. Anxious when there is little or nothing to be anxious about. Feeling a bit better today. Had a good chat with a friend yesterday who...

Well done crisp, delighted all going well for you. M

The prodigal daughter returns.... Good news is that although I fell off the wagon, I have put on no weight but not lost any either. So taking all that as a positive, I'm going to try extra hard today and do working solution. I think ts is just a step too far at the moment. my next goal is...

Hi cate. Delighted to hear you are doing so well. That 15 st target is just knocking on the door. Well done.:woohoo:

Lol...confess...yes...things not going well. Completely off the band wagon..

Struggling, wuggling ...... but I'm alright. m

Hi crisp. Delighted to hear all going well for you. Food week was my downfall but that is not to say it will be yours. Just beware of what is happening around you and be very conscious of the food decisions you make. If alcohol, bread, crisps, biscuits, sweets, takeaways were your...

Good woman...... :bighug::bighug:

Come on cate, I need someone on this journey with me and I'm depending on you. We can get through the highs and lows one day at a time. I need a weight loss journey mate and I'm making you it!!!!! try again tomorrow and if you fail, try again and if you fall off the wagon, try again. It's so...

Lol cate. You're like my guardian angel and I appreciate it. :angel::angel: I'm here, still hanging on. Had a good day yesterday and working towards another today. My son finished his exams yesterday, so delighted for him. He's a good lad. Can't believe he's 18 and finished school. Time...

Made a mistake, I lost almost 3lbs. From 13st 7.5 to 13st 4.7....grand. Hilarious how the point something of a pound becomes so important on the weight loss journey.....

Morning all. I've been awake practically the whole night for no particular reason. What a bummer. Tired now but can't sleep. Anyways, there is always tonight to catch up. the last two weeks have been extremely difficult for me. As I've said before there is no doubt it has been complacency...

Woo hoo cp...fantastic result.

No room for complacency.........I hear you loud and clear girl.......

Good offer on exante website for 48 hrs only. 60 products (with some restrictions) for 60 pounds stg.

Hanging on in there.....

Glad to hear all going well for you cp. was thinking about couch to 5k also but no action yet....

Absolutely thrilled for you cate......fabulous....:0clapper::0clapper::0clapper:

Good thoughts cate. Been there too.

Great comment cate. "Management by fact". Now there is a management theory I used to use all the time when faced with a problem in the workplace and there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to apply it to my weight problem. the facts are i was 14st 7lbs i want to be 9st 13lbs i needed to...

Hi cate ive a fair idea that it is just complacency. My clothes are looser therefore my resolve weakens. Being 14.7 kills me. I hate being that weight. Being 13.7 is bearable but not where I want to be. I want to be 9.13. When I go into ordinary shops now the big sizes fit me so I don't...

Thanks bridezilla. 12.20 nothing so far today except black coffee and water. sitting down to a bar, coffee and water now. need to be extra vigilant for the afternoon as I always crave food between 4 and 8. Will keep two packs for then. also my strategy for the rest of the day is that if I...

Disastrous week, disastrous weekend. Feel so down. Going back to basics to see if I can kick start again. One meal at a time......

Welcome emilie and thanks. Just had my week 4 break. Back on track tomorrow. Looking forward to following your downward trend...

Congratulations Sheridan. Have a fabulous day and wonderful life together.

Go cate...I'm joining you tomorrow for 100% TS.

Hi all, sorry I disappeared without trace for the last while. My eldest is doing his leaving cert exams so my time has been spent trying to keep things on an even keel at home and making sure he's not stressing out. He'll just be starting his second English paper as I write and I know he...

Oh no read my own incorrectly.....

That's strange...just looked at your ticker, at this moment in time we have the exact same amount of weight to lose, right down to the .2 of a pound. I'll be keeping an eye on you. :p

Hi there. Well done for getting started. As you know it is hard at the start and a little bit harder the second time around but you have done so well keeping your original loss off, that is a huge part of the long term weight battle. Take a bow and give yourself a pat on the back. i find I...

Thanks banaboo. I do think my attitude is better this time around but I'm never far from crossing over the line to the dark side. I'm trying to be more self aware and keep my blips as damage limiting as possible though I know I would be more than capable of sticking my head in the biscuit box...

Thanks Katie. I can imagine having three packs in the evening. I find it easier to wait and get later rather than have all now and nothing later. I was never one for instant gratification in anything I do, must be my catholic upbringing coming through in my diet life.... :break_diet:

Hi snooty cow, one day at a time, it's the only way...:)

DAY 21 Hi all, read through your diaries and delighted you are all keeping it together and moving on down the scales. Woo hoo. I've been having mixed days, motivation wise, emotionally and physically. But really when I look back nothing too bad. my biggest problem some days is the timing of...

Hi Sheridan, your pearls look great. Very pretty. What an exciting time. Regarding your refeed, Have you had a look at the stabiliser programme on the exante website? It might help. They also have recipes there. M

Woo hoo cate, just popped in and have read the last couple of days of your diary. At the start of my read you were in the 16s hoping for the 15s, by the end of the couple of days diary you are in the 15s marching towards the 14s. amazing what difference a couple of days can make.......well...

Welcome brides ills, delighted you dropped in. Call in anytime. The virtual door is always open :), m

Welcome Katie, I need all the help I can get. M

Hi Susie, how a day can creep up on you and throw you off course..... hope pe all going well with you m

Day 18. Quick post just to confess a blip. Can't quite believe it. Thought I was prepared but my resistance was low. Took boys out for their tea. Ordered sparkling water and black coffee for myself. Then I took a chicken wing off one plate, then one off another. Must have had 5 plus...

Back home. No alcohol. Delicious food everywhere. I has some baked salmon and the tiniest taste of a cheddar and chive cheese that everyone was tasting because someone said it was beautiful. And it was. Loads of black coffee. Resisted all the cakes and desserts. Delighted. i probably...

Loving the winter warmer pack of porridge, pasta carbonara, choc orange and toffee nut raisin bars. the porridge is such a comforting sweet start to the day. I have coffee and water with it. Feels like I am having a real breakfast. The pasta carb now tastes like a dinner especially the...

Day 16. Never thought I would get past the first week. Cate, made up my mind, thanks to you. No alcohol it will be. And you are so right that I need to have a plan before the party. With the alcohol decision made, I think I will have my pasta carb just before going to the party and leave my...

Well done Sheridan. That is fantastic.

Hi cate. Hope all well with you. I never in my life imagined I would be so concerned about a chicken leg... I'm not too sure about the cake either lol. i have a party this weekend. My dilemma is a glass of wine or not... I plan to drive even though I could walk but the car means I would...

Hi Susie. You are so right, this really is a day at a time diet, sometimes a meal at a time for me. You are doing so well, you must be delighted with your weight loss to date. while I don't know how much weight I have lost, my clothes feel a little looser which is great. I put a huge amount...

Morning all got over my leg of chicken breakout and a 100% ts yesterday. Woohoo. day 15 today....only another 120 or so to go............... reading all all your diaries and delighted to see that you are all doing well. M

Day 13. Confession - ate a chicken leg. Why? Because it was there in front of me and I didn't resist. Not that I couldn't, just that I didn't. And funnily enough I was conscious as I was eating it that I shouldn't but I went ahead. I ate it very quickly as if I thought the quicker I ate it...

For a change I had the pasta ham and mushroom flavoured soup. Really looking forward to it. REVOLTING!! Yuch. Yuch. Yuch. Ate it. Will never eat it again. Looking forward to my old reliable choc orange bar later while watching revenge and the mentalist. Love tues late night telly. :)...

Day 12. Dog walked. Youngest son gone to school. About to kick eldest son out of bed. Off to work for 5 hours. Home and determined to tackle the mountain of personal paper work I need to get through. porridge consumed. Nice sweet start to the day. Pasta carb for lunch around 3ish and...

Thanks cate and you are right about creating a lovely memory. day 11 continued with a pasta carbonara and a toffee nut and raisin bar along with coffee abd water. cooked an old lovely fashioned dinner of bacon, cabbage, mashed potatoes, corn and homemade white sauce. Nearly disappeared behind...

Well done sheridan. I agree with the others, enjoy your wedding, try to get back on the diet after the wedding and in January you'll be more than ready to move on with the next stage of your plan, whatever you decide. m

Woo hoo cate, delighted for you. Well done. meet your sister with regards to clothes....... m

Day 10 was Sunday and my son graduated from secondary school with a fabulous graduation ceremony. Beautiful and very emotional. Then out of the blue came an unexpected hurdle. Most of his mates and their families were going for lunch and he asked if we could go too. My heart did drop...

Day 9. Feeling ok. Tempted go weigh but not sure yet so skipped it. Went to sons hurling feile for the day. Once again food everywhere but resisted. Over compensated with coffee and had a headache. Probably not helped by the hot sun which was lovely. had my porridge at 8.30am and didn't...

Hurray cate. Fabulous achievement. Delighted for you. Keep at it girl.

Hi all. Day 8. Had a good day 7. Stayed on track despite being surrounded with scones and muffins. I nearly caved in but managed to get no thank you out of my mouth before my hand reached out. There was a bit of "ah, go on" but no stuck to my guns. when I look back at my diary, it is...

Morning all. Remaining food took a bashing last night but not by me. feeling calm today, day 7. No feelings of deprivation although it is only 8am...... weigh in day tomorrow but in a dilemma as to whether I will or not. Read in some diaries that some people only weigh every two or four...

Hi girls, thanks for dropping in. Hi banana boo. You're doing great. First stone gone. Well done. hi snooty. (Just can't call you snooty cow, feels rude :(). I'll wait til I know you better... day 6 - my bars arrived today so had choc orange for lunch. Nice bit of crunch. Happy with...

Day 5 continued. Had my first pack at 3pm ...too late really. Had another at 6pm and due to take another shortly. Hard to know what to take this late. Might try hot choc. Ordered the winter bumper pack at the weekend so should have my first bars tomorrow. Looking forward to trying them...

Just reading your update cate. Well done on the 2lbs loss and on facing up to falling off the wagon temporarily and getting straight back on. Be proud of yourself for doing this. Stay strong. moonlight (now I must go and write in my diary zand tell myself the same thing )

Hi Susie, that's a good tip re the toothpaste. I found the listerine strips on amazon so might give them a go. My mouth was disgusting this morning so had to brush it and my teeth for a decent taste. Quite hard to brush you tongue without gagging. Still it worked. day 5 today. Approx only...

The meal looks lovely. How do you make egg fried rice? I've only ever had it from the Chinese.

Ah here, don't be adding squats into the equation or I'll be the one under pressure.......:mad:

Good girl Sheridan. Stay strong. You and I had near enough the same start weight with the same goal, so I'm watching your progress as an example of what I can achieve if I can apply myself.....no pressure then ;)

I love the porridge. Makes me feel like I've had an ordinary breakfast. I hate the strawberry shake and am reluctant to try the banana if it is anything like the strawberry !!! Haven't tried the chilli yet. Pasta carbonara tonight. how do you make the biscuits?

You've been through a tough time snooty (shortening your name, hope you don't mind) as has your poor husband but fantastic that he got the all clear. Here's to better times ahead health wise. I too have 50 to lose at least. More like 63lbs to get me to 9.13. That would be heaven but too...

You have done so well, you can lose that last stone. Be nice to yourself thought wise, you deserve it. Looking forward to to seeing how you get on. m

Lol. 2lb is great. Better 2lb off than on. After my first week or two I normally drop to 2lb of less per week. It does seem a lot of work for a couple or less lbs but at least if you stick to it, you'll know you'll not go up whereas with other diets I'm up and down like a yo yo. keep at it...

Day 4. 12 may 2014. Feeling better today. Just finished 9 holes of golf. Away to have my porridge now. tempted to weigh myself but will try to hold out til Friday. what is everyone doing to help the bad breath situation that comes with vcld? When I was on lipotrim a few years ago there...

Hi Thornhill cate. I hope you have a great weigh in tomorrow. Look forward to hear how you get on. i just had the turkey dinner and it really wasn't all that bad. Quite peppery. I love salt so don't find any of the packs too salty. I did like the spaghetti Bol. i ordered some bars today...

Great start Ella 78. Keep doing what you're doing as it looks like it is working for you. New to this myself. On day 3. Best of luck. moonlight

Thanks Thornhill Cate for the best wishes. How are you finding things yourself? Ever had the turkey dinner? What's it like? I has the shepherds pie last night and it was alright once I didn't look at it. I'm not good with "smooth" food but getting on with it.

I thought I would set up this diary for myself in the hope that it will help me keep on the straight and narrow over the coming weeks/months. Day 1 and 2 have been successful despite being surrounded by beautiful food at a party last night. I would have loved to have tucked in but managed not...

'Your' achievement. :o

Well done Sheridan, you're achievement to date is fabulous.

Day 1 went ok. Strawberry shake for breakfast. Not my favourite. Thai chicken soup for lunch. Nice. Spaghetti Bol for dinner. Enjoyed it. day 2 also ok although woke up with a splitting headache and feeling lightheaded. Headache gone and lighthead not so bad. Porridge for breakfast...

Hi snooty cow ( feels awful calling you that :(). I know that feeling only too well. I was also waiting until Monday but got up this morning and started. Just took the plunge as with me there is always a reason why I can't start and no doubt Monday would have brought another. Another one of...

Thanks Sheridan...you're off to a great start yourself and what a fabulous goal date to look forward to. A wedding day is surely the best incentive ever! Keep up the good work....

Hi all 14.7. Would like to lose 4.5 stone. Started exante today. Trying to take one day at a time and not look too far into the future. love all the success stories. Best of luck to everyone on their journey. moonlight

OMG, the Bay City Rollers, how I loved and adored them. Derek the drummer did it for me. I was madly in love. Their posters all over my bedroom wall.............now they were happy carefree times!

Day 6 Breakfast - Maintenace bar and black coffee 11am - WW fromage frais (56 cals) Lunch - Salad, 4oz tin salmon, 2 slices seeded bread. Some WW thousand island dressing and some branston pickle. Dinner - 4oz chicken stirfried in water and chilli sauce with some stir fried veg along...

Right now in danger of losing control. This has just hit me out of the blue although I can tie it back to being worried over an issue and in the past I would have turned to food......this is my feeling now so I've got to stop it. Hoping posting here will help:( Todays refeed so far DAY 5...

Day 4 (seemed like a lot of food) Breakfast - Vanilla/coffee shake Mid morning - WW yoghurt (48 cals - loved it) Lunch - Tuna and salad with balsamic vinegar, spoonful for natural low fat fromage frais and toasted wholemeal pitta. (Delicious) Dinner - 4oz chicken breast (stirfried in...

Caramel flavour bar - eat as is:p Orange creme - add the contents of orange to 300mol cold water (approx 10 fluid ozs (half pint). Mix well with blender or whisk until smooth and creamy. Serve. I normally use up to a pint of water per sachet. Cream of Veg soup. Same as orange creme...

Were you sneaking a look at your calorie book under the table???:)

it is just up there ^^^^^first sticky:)

At the risk of coming across as " an old pompous bag of wind" Aaron, I suppose now might be the time to explore what you want to achieve as a result of being on Lipotrim. Having one refeed failure behind me, I really don't want anyone to spend all their time losing the weight (tfr is hard work...

Well done Hellie, great to hear refeed going well for you. Are you calorie counting or doing anything specific? M

Get off and stay off those scales until your official weigh in :mad: do you hear me shouting at you from down South:copon:? m

Thanks Jan, you're a darling ;)

Hi Jan I had to disappear to work this morning and didn't get a chance to reply. Yes, I am delighted with the weight loss and would love to conquer those last 6 pounds. I am definitely going to give it a try. Having lost the weight before using Lipo and put the majority of it back on...

Day 3 Breakfast - Maintenance bar (loved it) Lunch - 4oz Tuna salad, salad as day 2 Dinner - 4oz Salmon fillet, salad as day 2 and 6 baby potatoes (around 6.5ozs). Balsamic vinegar and a touch of natural yoghurt. (Also 1 brussel sprout and tiny taste of spinach). Pure gorgeous! Drinks...

I would stick with the lipotrim products for the first week anyway and then introduce your porridge, fruit, yoghurt. I think the refeed is all about how you introduce food back into your body and the type not necessarily only low calorie. M

Thanks Joy, just as I thought, just as well as I ate it before I saw your reply!!!:D M

Hiya Is day 3, fish/chicken, salad AND potato or just potato without the salad? :confused: Think it is salad and potato but just in case:(

Mine is vanilla with a spoonful of coffee made with double the amount of water recommended. Found the shakes more filling but the flapjacks (peanut) invaluable for socialising and for lunch in work. Ate along with a large mug of black coffee and a pint of water. Yum

I would speak to your pharmacist again. If you stick at it for the next 8 weeks and lose each week, bring it back up then. Tell them you have shown you are committed to the diet and would like to keep it up while you are on hols. There is no doubt about it, it is difficult to do Lipo on hols...

6lbs again Liz, how fantastic is that.........a whopping 18lbs and to think you didn't think you could do it!! Brilliant, keep going. Why do your stats at the side show 17lbs lost? Claim that extra pound quick. You deserve it. M

Well worded Jan and echos a lot of what I have learned also. I have also learned that so often we make excuses about why things are the way they are, blaming other people, circumstances when in actually fact I believe we are masters of our own destiny. If we don't take control of our lives...

Thanks for those words Mary and I agree. TRF in LIPO is great to get the weight off initially, keeping it off has to be a lifestyle change. If not, it will all go back on and back on quickly in my case. I know, I've been there before. But feeling good being slim and being able to drop in...

That's all great to know Mary. I have to admit even though I was full after my meal last night that old feeling of "gosh, I wouldn't mind some more" wasn't long surfacing. The difference was, I recognised it and chose not to eat anything else. I'm more proud of that than anything. Today...

another thing..maybe you could pray for a bit of divine intervention at Mass.........it might be just the thing ;)

HI Irish mum from another Irish mum. For me the thing about Lipotrim is there is nothing you can do about your weight loss if you are sticking to the letter of the law. It will come off, it is impossible for it not too. So chin up. I went for three weeks and lost 1lb a week, that was...

Just bought the new RC "Slim to Win" cookbook today to get some ideas. Looks nice. Anyone tried it? M

Moonlights refeed day 2 - so far Breakfast - Summer fruits shake - Scrummy Lunch - 4oz tuna (a lot of tuna) and mixed salad - peppers, celery, red and white onion, cucumber, tomato and balsamic vinegar. Delicious. Dinner - soon to be 3/4oz haddock baked in oven with salad as above...

Best of luck today. :) Enjoy

I would never have thought of that! I'll try that one. Must get myself a calorie counting book next and learn how to do it. For this week just going with what it says on the refeed sheet. thanks for the advice. m

missed my shakes, so having a coffee made with water and a little skimmed milk blended in the blender. Have ended up with a pretty tasteless cup of frothy coffee :(

Yes Yasmine, you are right, it is nice to be eating again although nervewracking:) You are doing very well with your calorie counting. I am going to have to learn that discipline. Do you weigh everything before eating it? m

That's not very caring of you :rolleyes: Ok, take out your little pink book then and tell me how many cals are in a gin and slimline tonic and I just might forgive you ;) m

Could you not have taken pity on me and thrown an oul drop of sparkling water into that vodka and seen what it tasted like? :) m

Day 1 Breakfast - Vanilla/coffee shake Lunch - Peanut Flapjack Dinner - 4oz chicken (cooked in wok with water only) & salad (small breakfast bowl) mixture of yellow pepper, red onion, celery, tomato, cucumber. Pepper and some balsamic vinegar on the salad. Drinks - black coffee, water...

Thanks for posting M. Good to see you are doing ok and making such quick decisions to change your sachets. Finding what you like is a good thing. Makes you feel less deprived. I have a flapjack for my lunch and then it will be home to sort out dinner! Off to work now. Have a good day. M

Oh gosh.............I don't feel ready. Scared and anxious just about sums it up. This last weekend has been incredible. The number of people who stopped me and said how great I look was amazing. And in true Moonlight fashion, I told them not to be silly, it was nothing, I would probably...

Agree with Kelly, just don't do it. It is a craving and only a craving. When you work your way through it, you will be so proud of yourself and there will be many more cravings to come. Learning to deal with each one as it hits is I imagine part of what we are to learn on our journey! Now...

Congratulations Justin. Enjoy the compliments, you deserve them. M

Hi I also take fibreclear. the pharmacist told me to take it twice a day only as too much can have the opposite affect and bung you up!! Still only going to the loo once a week or twice in a good week. Hard to get this right!

Ok, I know I'm obviously fretting about refeed when questions like this start entering my head................but what is the size of a small breakfast bowl?:confused: On refeed you can have a salad the size of a small breakfast bowl and since having problems with portions was one of the...

HI all (Mary your photos are fantastic, how fabulous do you look eh?) From my last time on Lipo, I too liked the summer berries made as a long drink rather than a thick shake. I could take or leave the orange cream. Didn't try the soup as I have difficulty with the chicken one which I can...

Hi Liz That is great news. I'm having a hungry day today and having trouble getting the water in to me:(. Bit fed up and bored really. I start refeed next Tuesday and am really a bit afraid of the whole thing. I'm also feeling a bit down as I won't reach my goal of 9st 11 before refeed...

gotta go to work for a while. Speak later.:)

sounds like a good idea. What do you think of Rosemary Conley and her way of eating. I like her books. Thanks for your kind invite on the forum. I've ticked the boxes so hope I've got it right..

Hiya Delighted to see your 6lbs weight loss last week. That is great. How are you getting on this week. Still taking the good unleaded fuel?

Hi Bekki I did suffer from indigestion (or whatever) at the start. Found drinking warm water and going to bed/sitting with a hot water bottle held against me really helped. It went after a time. Probably all the remaining food in your body moving through! lol

I suffer from hungry days too but find if I keep drinking the water (whether I want it or not) it helps. I also find leaving the house and going for a walk, ironing (yes ironing lol) or baking helps. Can't figure out the baking bit but now I found when I bake I feel I've eaten it.......never...

lol. I know. 3oz is i'm sure a good size but I must have been eating 12 oz or more before at a time if eye measurement is to go by! In the same way as I have regarded my LT shakes and flapjacks as purely fuel for my body in the past 18 weeks, I am going to try now and eat to nourish my body...

Also last night I froze some haddock fillets in anticipation of next week. As I was weighing them some weighed 3oz and some 6oz and I found myself adding 2 3oz fillets together in the freezer bag but then I stopped and kept the 3oz as they were. The eyes are often bigger than the stomach and...

HI Mary Have you started writing that book yet! All you say makes sense and on top of that you are living proof of it so I'm following your steps keeping bread, rice and potatoes to a minimum until I see how my body reacts. Also plan to add little or no fat to my meals as the experts say...

Hi all I think this topic is interesting. Due to start refeed next week and have followed Lipotrim to the letter since 6 Jan. Not one cheat and it has worked. I've listed to the Lipotrim CD over and over again and it makes sense to me that if the TFR worked you would imagine they know what...

Hi Yasmine You must have had beans on toast!! It's one of lifes little luxuries....white bread smothered with melting butter (all in the past of course) with some lovely hot beans on top........heaven!!

Gosh at 5ft 8 and 210lbs you can do it without any invasive surgery. I was once 220lbs at 5ft 2:( and Lipo has definitely got me to my present weight with a little willpower as well:) I know it might appear expensive a lot more so over here than in the UK but I think it is worth making the...

Oh you are such a sweetheart, thank you so much.:hug99: Never thought to look on line myself...:doh:

HI chelly, we do but I would have to travel to get there, do they have both the 0% greek yoghurt and low fat fromage frais? Hubby from the North too so travel up a lot, can you get the stuff in Asda do you know? Ta

Hi becca and an early happy birthday to you. I am no expert, not due to refeed until next week, but I imagine if you had a shake for breakfast and another for lunch followed by a pint of water before your meal out you should be ok. Would imagine small bowl of veg soup, no bread, followed by...

any irish out there now??

Best of luck, have a fantastic holiday. Will you back after the hol to let us know how you got on? M

Gimme that toffee crisp:gimi:

Children eventually got fed. Can't see why they can't survive without food like their mother:sigh:. Sitting here with my first shake of the day, hot vanilla with coffee...lovely. Off to work then. Hope you have all have a great day. Weather is looking good over here in Dublin. What a...

gotta go feed son no 1. this site is addictive.....children left starving

Phew ;)

Got a bit worried when I saw your mood down as bored :p You'll not get rid of me that easily, thick skinned I think they call it :D lol

Thanks Mary! By the way, I hope it's not me that's boring you!! Ahem! :rolleyes: M

lol, you're practically fluent!! Just thinking you should write a Lipotrim refeed book and get Lipotrim to sponsor you. I printed off a lot of your refeed diary this morning (hope that is ok) but had to throw away a "tree" weeding out the refeed day menus. :( I never thought to cut and...

Dia duit a chairde! Conas ata tu? (Hello everyone/friends, how are you?) That's the Irish lesson over for tonight :rolleyes: Being having a look around the supermarket (s) in anticipation of refeed :). Feel a little suspicious walking in, checking all the labels on foods and then brazenly...

Hi Mark & Mary Attached is an extract from the lipotrim refeed which refers to carbs making up 60% etc. Have i picked up the wrong message? Glad I asked before I refeed:( 6. If carbohydrate foods are reintroduced gradually and in the right sequence over a period of days, the glycogen will...

Hi Caroline What does Quorn taste like? Is there anything similar in the meat world? Your refeed diary sounds lovely, can't wait to start. M

Hiya Jan, I see your 1.4lbs this week. It's all good! I fully understand that feeling of being on TFR for a week and losing what we consider to be "only" 1.4lbs. But it is 1.4lbs of fat off the oul tum and better off than on;). Next week, I'll share my Christmas lights with you and if it...

lol :eatdrink051::7834: :drunk: Opens the fridge, takes the magnum, glugs it down "herself"..............scuttered

Thank you all. Jan, I walked every day. Desperation drove me to it. I don't know if it made a difference or if the loss would have happened anyway! I had to do something thought, I was cracking up.

After been stuck with a 1lb weight loss each week for the past 3 weeks, this week I lost 4lbs. Hurrah:bliss::smiley1842::xmastree::48: Feels just like Christmas...lol

Sounds like your week has really turned around Liz. That is great. I really hope your reward is good tomorrow. M

Thanks Mark. I see you have done great. I've been following your refeed diary along with the others. I need now to go off and brush up on my knowledge of what a carb is! I listened to the refeed CD from pharmacy and they recommend that 60% of your daily calorie intake should come in carb...

Hi, just looking at this thread and feeling unsure. I'm due to start refeed next Tuesday which is the 12th of May and am going on hols 23 May which is less than two weeks of refeed before the hols. If I take at least one shake during my hols and keep to low fat and sensible carb eating do...

Morning How long does it take to cook a chicken breast or a piece of steak on the George? Does it dry the meat out or is it still juicy? M

My pharmacist told me Lipo were bringing out an almond flapjack. Maybe that'll be palatable.

Morning I take of my shakes hot. Hot vanilla with double the water, two spoons of coffee, spoon of fibreclear, blended in the electric blender at the highest speed - Result - 2 glorious mugs of latte size and taste coffee. Peanut flapjack (tastes of peanuts to me) with a mug or two of...

Isha, just saw your reply now. Missed it earlier on:(. Thanks for your kind comment. Still not sure how all that type of thing works as very new to site but it is nice to have a green box;) Watched some of your videos, I really enjoyed them, going back to have a look at the others later...

Fantastic Liz, delighted to hear all is going well for you.:):bliss::angel09: :7834: Keep taking the fuel

Debs, I don't mean to hijack your thread but I have a quick question on restarting Lipo. My pharmacist told me in the past that I couldn't start Lipotrim again until I had been off it for at least six months. Is that the story for everyone? Thanks M

hi girlychick I agree, they give such freedom. Great being able to go out for lunch, tea and have your flapjack with you. I even brought one to a dinner party we were invited to and nibbled it all through the event. It was great to be able to go to the night out and join in in my own...

Thanks for all your encouraging replies. Bank hol here today, so took off for the day yesterday so as not to waste the weekend and am just back on line. I haven't been here before as I didn't know the site existed but I am so glad I found it. I did find one other forum that helped new starts...

HI Debs and Liz (my ski challenge mate)! I'm also on my second time round. Started in Jan 09 and now down 4 stone so it can be done. Stay positive and focussed. Reward yourself with weekly success treats (non food of course :p) . Trip to hairdresser, facial, smellies, magazine. It can...

Crikey, the bag wasn't from Selfridges, just a little boutique up the way from it! I'm with you on the shoes but having been in the aforementioned Selfridges checking out the stock, I'm going for the Christian Lamboutin shoes with the red soles!! None of them oul Jimmy choo shoes for me. Too...

Liz, delighted to hear from you. So much you say I've experienced. The nights in, not going anywhere, been there done that and to hell with it...........I deserve to live to and the world will just have to learn to love me!!:D What a killer low self esteem is and what a contributor weight is...

Hi, new to the forum but would like to add my tuppence for what its worth! I have lost some weight and have experienced those down days that you are now in the middle of and they are hard, very hard. I feel what worked for me, was not to fight the feeling of being down but to go with it and...

Hi all, thanks for the welcome, you're a lovely friendly bunch. Bank holiday here today so took off for the day yesterday so as not to waste the weekend and have just come back on line. Being a bit lazy and self indulgent lying here in bed with my cup of black coffee and laptop on my knee...

Hi chellywelly Thanks for replying. Second time round, very very tough. Kept slogging through and while I would never say never again, I really want so hard to try and maintain whatever my weight will be on May 12. Last Tues I was 10.11 having lost only 1lb a week for the last three weeks...

Hi just thought I would drop in and say hello. I joined the site yesterday having read many of your inspiring stories and am amazed of your support for each other. It's wonderful :). I've been on Lipo since 6 Jan 09 (for the second time ) and have lost just under 4 stone. I'm due to refeed...

Hi there I'm just new here to but I wanted to wish you the best of luck on your journey. You've done very well on your own so far and I'm sure your determination will get you through the rest. I'll be thinking of you on May 12 and wishing/willing you well. M

Thanks Irene. You've done brilliantly with WW. Wish I had your willpower to eat in a controlled manner. Hope to develop that in refeed. M
