Hiya I am happy to do a weekly diary after the councelling sessions. Do I do it as a normal 'thread' ????? It is a free service with voluntary (absolutley no pressure) contributions gratefully received. I will certainly tell all I can about what was discussed apart from personal (non...

Hi, yes I had 'wobbly' times. Take it easy, drink lots and if it doesn't ease off get your blood pressure checked out xx

Hi, do you remember me asking you all about weight councelling? I said that I was going for an assessment to discuss my food 'addiction' Well ---- it was ----- FANTASTIC. At last after 42 years of life I have found someone who understands my head and stomach! She says that I would benefit in 20...

I asked my pharmacist and sent an email to Lipotrim! Lipotrim said it was only a pilot scheme at the moment and that if my pharmacist wanted to take part in the trial to get them to contact Lipotrim direct! They would not give me a login! So we have to wait to get that from our pharmacist. Sorry...

HI all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx thank you all, I knew I could reply on you xxxx I DID NOT SUCCUMB I realised that if I did give in it would be lovely but only for a second then I would feel rrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy...

I have been feeling physically weak as well! I have been fine till now ?????????????????????????????????

Hi I need your sensible heads! I really wanna eat something, I know I am doing well, I haven't cheated once and the weight is coming off really well BUT I really want to eat something savoury!!!!!!!!:(

dear AmandaE please remember this is VERY unusual and I think alot has to do with misinterpreting text! like texting people you can't truely put your feelings in texts! People interpret the same words in different ways, PLEASE don't take this as the 'norm'. The people on this forum have been...

Hiya, sorry you had bad experience, hope you are okay now xxxxxxxx

Keep updating us on your 'refinements' so I can try it when you have perfected it xx

Hi, take out your smiley's till you get more signature space! the you can add your new weigh ins xx

Gald you are feeling better xx Well done for sticking with the shakes. Thanks for the 'recipe' for mint choc drink, I will get some bags and try it out. xx

Hi, sorry to hear you are poorly, I had it last week, had to push myself to drink the shakes but in the end I had my best weigh-in since my first week. Drink LOADS to combat the throat and catarah issue !!!!! xx Mint choc ????? tell me more

Mega WOW I think this is the most first week loss I have seen so far well done xx

oops, next week should be alot better! People lose at different rates so try not to compare yourself to anyone else, it is just a guide! Stay 100% for at least another week and re-assess xxxxxxx ?? did your sister start afresh? I mean did she come straight from another diet like you?? That may...

Yes I agree with Jesi, I still get tempted but I do wanna be slimmer more than I want a slice of cake. I am finding now that after 5 weeks it is good to be around food as I will need to resist food when I come off Lipotrim so I might as well start to get used to it now. I am sure it will be...

I think you are struglling because you are beating yourself up for 'failing' So BIG DEAL that has gone, it has happened, yes it was wrong but note the WAS in that sentence! MOVE ON, will you fail today? NO so why worry today! why beat yourself today? Today is fresh and new so treat it like that...

Well done for losing so much already, remember that everybody loses weight at different rates!!! Don't get dispondant !!! Good luck for the weigh in, let us know how you get on xx This site is fantastic for support and to answer any questions (no matter how silly you think they are). Just ask...

This course sounds like the one I am hoping to get on. I go on Monday for my initial assessment. They will then tell me which councelling option is best for me. I am doing the course BEFORE refeeding as I hope it will stop me developing any bad habits straight away! Good luck Scotsmist, keep us...

Excellent well done xx

Thanks Tridi for posting this, I have been feeling the same way. The comments everybody has said to you has been relevant to me too. thank you xxxxx

Glad you are finding it okay, I didn't have any probs either, I think as long as you drink lots it solves alot of the problems. Stay good and I am sure you will have a fantastic weigh in. Please make sure you let us know how you get on xx

Well done for not giving in. I went to a BBQ last night and they had special fresh beef burgers that smelt devine! My poor husband had to eat what I fancied just so that I could get a really gooooooooooooood smell of it! There was homemade pizza cooking and I asked if I could stay and smell the...

I tally agree with Sara4, I think he is 'rubbing it in' that he can eat what he wants and you can't!!!!! He KNOWS how hard it is and is tempting you - it is CRUEL. You stick to it, show him how to do it, be slim and healthy that will show him how strong and determined you are! Try and explain to...

:D Weigh if you wanna! but always do it on the same scales! at the same time of the day! My chemist scales are 'taken out of a box' every time I go in. I go to the chemist on diffferent days and at different times, so I weigh on Tuesday mornings first thing at home and ignore the chemist...

Just a cold thanks, feeling much better again today xxx

Hi, I managed to begin with by avoiding food, but now I enjoy smelling the food, I feel that if I get a real big sniff of the food that I have 'had some'. seems a bit mad but it works for me. Best of luck. Keep your eye on the goal, that will keep you going xxxx

Hiya, my chemist seemed great the first visit and promised health checks every week! I have seen her 5 times now and she has only ever weighed me! No urine test or blood pressure! But then I found this site and realised that as long as you get genuine support from SOMEWHERE, it doesn't matter...

I would love to be able to wear a swimsuit (bikini toooooo much to dream for) and to enjoy a day on the beach without feeling embarrased about my size!

Hi, please assure your wife that you should only get healthier and happier by being on this diet, as it is perfectly balanced. It is designed to be bland so to NOT stimulate your taste buds. You will get used to it! I still hate the flapjacks and soup tho!!!!!! Keep at it and don't cheat, then...

I am feeling better today, thanks for you help, I have taken paracetamol and have coped with just that. xx

DON'T DO IT It is about being together and not the 'eating' bit. Personally I have been through this scenario and have found it enlightening to not eat and still enjoy myself. I think that when I can eat I won't pig out just because of peer pressure (I hope so anyway) The people you go with be...

thats brill, well done xx

I survived the first day of cold, thanks for your support xx Today I am feeling worse and have had to make my 'signature' fruit cake for a friend - I promised her !!!!! Thankfully I can't smell it very well and my appetite is NIL. I really don't want the shakes, I feel slightly sicky, Do I have...

A BIKINI ???????????????? I haven't worn a bikini since I was about 9 years old. You must be feeling GOOD Go for it girl x

sounds right to me. Dairy is notoriously bad for catarah!!! How about a nice piece of stodgy cake instead !!! tee hee !! I can dream!

Hi, I am all snotty and feel really coldy! I feel a need to "feed a cold and starve a fever" I really fancy a cup of milky coffee with dunking biscuits! Know it is wrong, the urge is very powerful!:cry:

Wow, what a difference

Evenings and weekends are definately the hardest. I keep busy with puzzles and being on here helps x

Take them back to your pharmacy and swap them for shakes! My pharmacist let me!

I don't think you have stuffed up! Drink lots and don't worry about missing a shake out. I did it the other week as I was too busy and it didn't make any difference to my weight loss or appetite! I bought a shake shaker from the pharmacy, then I carry water in it with a shake packet in my bag...

Excellent, keep it up x

Well done x enjoy your break

Hiya,welcome xx Have a look through the posts and you will see loads of success stories and check out the inspiration slide show at the top of the page. If you drink loads and don't cheat, the weight will fall off you. keep in touch here and ask as many 'silly' questions as you want, I am sure...

keep smiling, you know now that you can do it. How did the weigh in go? HOPEFULLY it wasn't as bad as you expected, if it was, then next week will be better xx

Hi, I got a few stomach pains in the first week too. It does settle down don't worry!

Hi, like you told me!!!!!!! stick to the diet PROPERLY, being with friends is more important than eating with them. I know he is your boss not your friend but he should still appreciate the effort / dedication this diet is taking and be impressed with your motivation to finish it and the fact...

Hi, I agree with the others, drink lots and measure once a week too, as you can see on my info below my tickertape that I put my measurements on every week, so if I don't lose lots of weight the reduction of measurements keep my motivation going. I didn't drink very much last week and 'only'...

well done, you can do it, keep it up xx

Hi Tafflass, welcome, keep going, stay positive and always remember why you are doing this diet! xx

Please don't beat yourself up, yes it was wrong but that was then. You have learnt a tough lesson, but you can and will resist next time. remember how bad you feel now and that will stop you from doing it again !!!!!! xx big virtual hug being sent online to you xx

welcome, excellent news you are starting, post any questions no matter how silly they seem, we can help! Great people on here, you will get loads of support, always someone to 'talk' to keep us posted on your progress. xxx

well done, it must be nice having some-one nearby going through it with you. Makes socialising easier. keep it up x

I had a really bad day the other day wanting food! That night I had a very vivid dream where I ate cake cake and more cake! When I woke up I felt totally satisfied! When I went to work I told my workmates that I was much happier because of the dream. one person said that shows how powerful the...

excellent, well done xx

Hi, how about planning what you will do with all your old 'big' clothes and what kind of style of clothes you will buy when you get to your goal weight? Also you could think about how you will treat yourself along the way? at what stages? I am thinking about a 'do' I am going to and what dress...

One person said to think of the shakes etc as medicine to make you healthier, it worked for me to begin with, then I got used to them and now quite like the choc and strawberry shakes.

Hiya, keep drinking, you will see on some people's posts that they have bad weeks with very little weight lost, most people admit it is because they didn't drink enough. I love the Chocolate and strawberry, didn't like the soup or flapjacks! I like to put a couple of icecubes in the shakes, it...

thanks x

can you tell me how I can improve my 'rep' ????

keep posting, after 20, you get one !

mints? NO Sorry but NO she shouldn't be eating any mints, not even mouth freshener mints!

I agree, I totally lost control from; 1) first thing in the morning thinking about how much I could eat for breakfast. 2) during the day thinking about where and how much food I could get hold of. 3) chosing where I sit in meetings depended on sitting closest to the 'nicest' snacks in the middle...

can anyone tell me if doing too much exercise (building up muscle / tone) will affect my weight loss. :sigh: I am really enjoying my Nintendo Wii fit, Pilates and line dancing. It has helped me lose loads of inches! :banana dancer:

Nintendo Wii I have got a Nintendo Wii, :cool: I hula hoop, step, yoga, jog, ski etc most days. Have also started Pilates and line dancing every week. Just worried that exercise may make the muscles bigger and affect my weight loss! Wii is great fun and makes exercise a laugh, you can do the...

Hi xsarahloux, i think that alot of people have the idea that being overweight is through just being greedy and having no will power. BUT I strongly agree with you that there are alot of people that need councelling for being overweight as much as the bullimic and anorexics! My councellor said...

Hiya, I have only had one comment about my bad breath and that was after the DISGUSTING soup. When I had a drink to wash it down, the smell went away. So as long as you drink loads you should be okay. Good luck

Hiya x don't worry, my husband was on hospital when I was on Lipotrim and I found it a tremendous help that I didn't have to worry about eating. I could totally concentrate on my husband. Just remember to take loads of shakes (and clean underwear) with you. Good luck with your daughter. This...

I think that I eat as a comforter, as I have very little self confidence due to not being 'worthy or good enough' when I was growing up! (food doesn't judge it just comforts you but ends up controlling you) I hope that coucelling will be able to help with that

okay, I will keep you posted on what happens. I have sent the HUGE questionnaire back and am awaiting my assessment meeting, so it may be a couple of weeks before I 'feedback'

Hi, I work next door to a councellor, she has recommended me to Eating Disorder Society (EDS) What do you all think? I worry that if I don't get the idea of food straight in my head before starting to eat again, that I may 'lose it' again. I don't want to have my life controlled by food anymore...

I save all by bad habits for FOOD FOOD I trying to get councelling now

Thanks for the info, I was wondering why I wasn't allowed a pic

Hiya, this is my scond time around, and I am finding it MUCH harder. I think it has something to do with the fact you know how long it is going to take and realistically how hard it is going to be (to start with). When you do it first time around you think it will be a breeze and only be for 1...

Excellent, well done. Brilliant idea for saving a 'big' bit of clothing. I will have to find my 'biggest' bit. It wont be jeans tho as I wouldn't wear them at my biggest, not sure if elasticated trousers have the same effect though!!!!!!!!!

I feel very pleased with myself for resisting, and 'in control' of my stomach, this is an unusual feeling - I like it !!

Yep, I got through the day without surcoming to temptation!!!!! thanks to you guys xxx

Spa treatment as a treat Hi, I would recommend any spa treatment as a reward, it will relax you and make you feel even more special as well as give your body / skin a treat ! It works really well for me xx enjoy :)

Hi :o this is probably a stupid question but I have paid to go to a ball and eat a meal (I paid long time ago before starting LT). Can I eat the meal and just carry on with LT or will it totally mess up the diet / ketosis. I hear people say they have "fallen off the wagon" and have eaten then...

Excellent thanks, you are both saying what I needed to hear, I haven't eaten anything, my hubby has been a fantastic support. thankyou x

thanks thank you, good idea about the clothes browsing, I will get onto it now x :D

Hi :wave_cry: I am on my 3rd week and really want to have a food binge :break_diet: Any realistic ideas gratefully received xxx
