Big hello to all fellow Lipotrimmers - old and new:553: I haven't posted on here for ages as I've been very busy with starting a new job etc etc! I was also away and off LT for a couple of weeks which was unfortunate but unavoidable:sigh: Anyway, I restarted 3 weeks ago and all going well more...

irishmum Thanks Irishmum - i've looked at your results and can see what you were referring to. Congratulations on your recent loss! I will be careful with the water intake but you need a lot more when you're active so I'm not sure how to keep the balance:confused: I thought the exercise wasn't...

official results following illness & TOTM Hi to everyone and lily, I've officially lost an unremarkable 4 pounds over last two weeks. This means I have 5.5 pounds to lose by next thurs to complete the challenge i think. Lily could you confirm if you can?!?:confused: Not exactly sure of when...

exercise i don't think i've been exercising excessively so far. started cycling to and from work everyday (totals about an hour) walking the dog for between an hour and hour and a half every eve hiking for a few hours at the weekends and long cycles to places instead of driving etc work has...

Hey guys, I was hoping you could give me some support as i feel a bit demotivated by my recent results (-4lbs over two weeks):( I was struck down with a bad kidney infection and put on augmentin which knocked me out, I also had my TOTM - both over last 2 weeks which is why i only got weighed...

atmosphere Hey atmosphere, Really sorry to hear you're feeling down:(... The loss of 3lbs is still a loss and I've noticed from others' stats that some weeks it's less and then the next week it's a much bigger loss. I know you've experience of this before but I think your body can react...

To Theresa, Oops & Kellywobble Thanks to Theresa and Oops for posting too:thankyou: To Kellywobble: Please don't get too stressed about the numbers on the scales esp during your TOTM. 1) It doesn't affect everybody - some people lose as normal, some people lose less than they normally do in...

ummm... nuts and wine... ummm:D

things that helped my first weeks One thing that really helped me through the first week was sleep believe it or not. I went to bed for naps especially around the evening meal-time and went to bed much earlier than usual. I was exhausted so I needed the rest but actually I found the napping...

My pharmacist told me to take them at normal meal-times and make sure they are evenly spaced by 4 hours min. Apparently this gives time for each shake to be digested and burned up. That way your system won't slow down too much. I was told about a woman who wasn't cheating but wasn't really...

Hi Collette, Just to reassure you... I have to take medications every evening that have sugars in them also. It has not affected my losses. However, as Icemoose quite correctly points out, you really do need to discuss this with your doctor to ensure that whatever condition you have is...

Hi there Poppy, I agree with lalala on this. If Communion is important to you, you should continue taking it as normal. It won't have any effect on your weight loss and might help give you the mental edge you need to get through this. I have to take medication every evening that would have...

Dear fellow lipotrimmers, I've noticed that people's losses around their TOTM tend to be significantly lower than other weeks. It's happened to me too - in fact I didn't see the scales move much at all at home. Does anybody know the actual reason behind this? I was guessing it was due to...

:happy096: Well done Doirin! Hope you're enjoying our little heatwave:character00180: I think the sun's a great motivator... How about you guys?!?! May the slimming force be with ye all! Fi x

no WI last week as sick but still on the wagon!! hi everyone and lilly, couldn't get weighed in this week as down with a nasty kidney infection. Also have my TOTM so i hope the official weigh in results will help me towards losing the 9.5 pounds left for the challenge. On my home scales I've...

Hey TamTam, I'm based in Dublin, the capital of the rip-off Republic :mad: so this may be irrelevant... Costs me €67 per week + extra for the "Fibre Clear" (fibre supplement). Check out the thread on "thinking about doing lipotrim post here" Best of luck Fi

bl**dy brilliant as they say! Congratulations Sorbet :woohoo:on your brilliant first WI result!!! Sorry to hear about the cranky auld chemist but what doesn't kill you defo makes you stronger, eh?!? LOL And about people having higher losses than 9 lbs - the result really depends on your...

Yeah. The drinking thing is the hardest thing about this for me too. But I know it's just a temporary situation until I lose the extra weight. And losing the weight is more important to me than having a drink right now:p Maybe it would help to think about it this way:confused:;) Best of luck...

Thanks Lily Thanks a mil Lily - v encouraging to have someone respond back:) This challenge is helping already - I've been walking for an hour in the evening time to try and make sure I lose those 16 lbs in 4 weeks. Thanks again for starting it up;) Update: Had my weigh in today and lost more...

Read this pls I'm reposting something that a member, Kirsty wrote a while back: (originally reposted by Ollie http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/28768-drinking-3.html) I went out on Friday night and after much deliberation thought id be ok to have a drink.....i ended up only having 3...

DRINKING DANGERS this diet is different - it is not atkins (drinking on atkins is bad for you too but shouldn't kill you)

atmosphere PLEASE DON'T DRINK ANYTHING AT ALL - IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ON THIS DIET DUE TO THE VERY LOW CALORIE CONTENT AND LACK OF GLYCOGEN STORES. Mini quoted this on a thread on drinking: "DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL IF YOU ARE KETOTIC! Alcohol is a powerful inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. In fact...

hey there atmos / drinking in ketosis Hey there Atmosphere and hi to mels and linda:D About drinking in ketosis: This is a definite no no as it can cause you to collapse or even die - no joke. Please read the article here and the following posts to inform yourself...

Hey Mirsy Congratulations :woohoo: That's a fantastic first week's loss:D I'm off to my weigh in later so I'll post back on the weekly weigh in thread this evening. I'm hoping for 4 pounds loss but will take any loss to stay happy!!! Mood and hunger doing much better than last time I posted...

Thanks Doirin, (congrats again!) 7 mins sounds do-able!! I have to remember any extra movement is good for shifting those pounds too;) I have quite bumpy skin on upper arms too possibly similar to Harriet so I'll definitely buy a brush when in town tomorrow. :thankyou:

Hey Trivenam, Just read what happened yesterday and wanna say a massive well done for not eating the nasty food:happy096: Something similar happened to me at a conference yesterday and I don't know how I got thru but I did and you did too! The Universe has a strange way of teaching us...

the power of positive thinking hey atmosphere, Just a quickie to say hello and welcome to your journey. Try not to focus on "last time" - this is my first and hopefully only time but I'd rather find a successful way of losing the weight than worry about possible failure. I think you need to be...

I know my circulation is poor and heard that dry brushing is good for that. Thank you for posting your experiences - it has prompted me to actually try it at long last:thankyou: This sounds really interesting but a bit time consuming maybe? Thanks for the instructions but may I ask how long it...

headaches Hi poppy, I got terrible headaches on 2nd day which were dulled by drinking lots of water - constant sipping and eventually disappeared by day 3. So water is your man here. Also be aware if you're drinking less caffeine than before as this can also cause bad headaches which is why...

first week ideas I've just finished my first week and it went well for me - didn't want/need to cheat and am feeling great after losing my first 7 pounds. The biggest help for me has been positive thinking (see http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/43345-thought-provoking.html#post642945)...

Lost 7 pounds - Yay:D ps. I agree Argot the flapjacks are defo NOT moreish (thank the lord!!!)

Well done Argot and you thought you'd lose less!! I've my WI today and think it'll be around 6 pounds. I'll be happy with any loss as Aoife said "a loss is a loss". We need to remember that is has taken years of bad habits to get to our current unhappy sizes. It is very unrealistic and bit...

story so far... Hi fellow lipotrimmers! I've just started LT - currently on day 6 and going well. Though today was harder for me than the others so far. I was feeling hungry though not starving, wrecked and cranky as hell :sign0163: Pretty tired and in PJs now, snuggling up on sofa for the...
