    Constipation

    Ducolax is "violent". My experience was very painful. Only take it if you have a day off work! I took sennokot every night for three months and still had terrible trouble. Always take a disposable glove with you when you need the loo ;P

    gutted with last weeks loss!

    I never had more than a 4lb loss lat time I did lipo. I was always between 1-4lb and was 100% by the book. It was gutting at times but a loss is a loss :)

    day 2 and a few questions

    Both S&P are fine with soups. Not sure about tea, as I don't drink it. I struggled with the whole ketosis thing, so I bought ketosticks from the chemist to check when I peed. You'll probably hit ketosis the end of the first week? (I guess everyone is different?) Feeling cold is normal. I tend to...

    Day 3

    The only way I can do the shakes is to have only chocolate. Have water from the fridge, and neck the whole thing in one go. Usually over the sink, as it makes me gag. Lol
  13. indie.rainbow

    Advice please

    The diet gives me a racing heart and sometimes feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. The lack of sleep things usually passes after a week or so. Well for me anyway.
  14. indie.rainbow

    Arghhh!

    One thing I do not miss about this diet... Constipation! I took sennokot for the whole three months I was on lipo last time, and still could go. Ducolax was far too violent for me.. Mental note: always take a pot of Vaseline and a disposable glove to the toilet with me. :P
  15. indie.rainbow

    I'm back...

    Thank all! :) I've found it ok. I got really sick of it last time, gagging with every mouthful (I only have choc shakes, I can't cope with anything else). I'm almost over day five. it's totm this week, so I'm not sure what my loss will be this week. I never lost more that 4lb a week when I did...

    Day two and gloomy

    I've previously lost 4stone on lipo, I was 100% which was hard being a chef. I got others to taste my cooking. I would never, and never will cheat:) It's 100% all the way, even with a cold. My imaginary food is getting me through it ;)

    I suffered terribly with constipation from a week into TFR. Fibreclear made things worse for me. I took sennokot every day for almost 3 months.

    To get 'privilages', you have to have 50 posts under your belt (I think). Then you get edit your signature, add tickers, and profile pictures etc. Have a look on the main LT forum, there should be a bit for 'newbies' where you will find a guide on how to get your very own 'ticker' x

    question

    I think the more posts you make, the better your reputation and you earn the privilage to add to your profile, and photos etc. When you read someones post, make a comment. I think you have to make 50 posts to be able to add to your profile. x

    I wouldnt worry about it. I'm the same. I have to take sennokot every night, but I dont always get the ''predictable relief'' every day. Some days I dont go at all, then others I get Mr Whippy and Liquid Nitrogen, and become afraid of my own farts... I think its just all part of being on LT!

    AWFUL

    Sorry your feeling so crap hun. You need to dose yourself up with Paras, have your shakes/soups and keep drinking as much as you can. I suggest bed rest, or at least get on the sofa with a snuggly blanket, and just veg out. Try and let your body mend itself. x

    Hey guys, Im just back from the chemist, and Ive lost 5lb. I have mixed feelings about the loss. I would of course liked have lost more than 5lb, especially after seeing how well some people on here have done in their first week. However, I do know that I am now 5lb lighter than I was 7 days...
  116. indie.rainbow

    Day 6..Omg, feel like sh*t. I dont understand!

    Hi Jane, Im nipping out on my lunch break for my WI. At about 2.15. I hope Ive lost something, as I dont feel any lighter! Ill keep you posted :D
  117. indie.rainbow

    Day 6..Omg, feel like sh*t. I dont understand!

    I dont even know if im in ketosis.My partner started the same time, and shes buzzing around like a dimented fairy on speed. All I can do is grunt and try and hold back the tears. I feel like I could sleep forever :(
  118. indie.rainbow

    Day 6..Omg, feel like sh*t. I dont understand!

    Day four was awful, day five was fine, day 6, feeling like poop again. Is it always going to be like this? Sicky, dizzy, SO tired and sluggish. Feeling down in the dumps and feel fat! Booo Hoooo :cry:
  119. indie.rainbow

    will you be my friend?

    Thank you for adding me. My new lipobuddies! xx :D xx
  120. indie.rainbow

    will you be my friend?

    One friend is better than none! I have no friends. Boo! :cry:
  121. indie.rainbow

    Day 5.. Thanks Everyone :)

    Thanks Jane. It wasnt a pretty day for me yesterday.. Im glad its over. How is your 5th day going?
  122. indie.rainbow

    Day 5.. Thanks Everyone :)

    I just wanted to write a quick note to say thanks for all the helpful comments you guys have given me over the last 5 days. I had a crappy 4th day, felt rotten. Today is a much better day. Feeling a lot better, and more alert. Im hoping Ketosis is kicking in. Im VERY nervous about my weigh...

    How did everyone find minimins?

    I face-booked 'Lipotrim'. Came accross Minimins on there...;)
  124. indie.rainbow

    How did everyone find minimins?

    ''you are son of mongoose!...'' have you seen the outakes and the extras on the website? Oh how I love Alexandra. Simples! :D
  125. indie.rainbow

    1st WI and im so happy

    Well done, thats really great. I hope my first week is like yours. Im so nervous and worried that I wont lose anything!
  126. indie.rainbow

    Day 4. Feel like ****

    Im feeling sick, light headed, dizzy, and generally unwell. I feel like Ive been battered. :cry: Ive been fine for the first 3 days. Today I just want to cry, and I feel like I could sleep for a hundred years :( I'm not enjoying today at all. x
  127. indie.rainbow

    Why Lipotrim is more expensive in Ireland

    interesting reading.
  128. indie.rainbow

    Is this normal, poo (dont read if easily offended)

    I need to be careful what I wish for.. The same thing has just happened to me. Thank God I was on the loo at the time. Gross! Also feeling extremely light headed and thought I was going to pass out. Bad times. :(
  129. indie.rainbow

    Is this normal, poo (dont read if easily offended)

    Lol @ ''no longer trusing farts''. That made me chuckle. I have the opposite problem. My farts wont come out due to being so constipated! I'd kill for a fart like you had right now! (Well, maybe let me find a loo first..)
  130. indie.rainbow

    Pain Relief

    Hi, Im averaging 4-5 litres per day. I wake up with a sore head, and it just lingers all day.. Feeling quiye crappy today. The worst I've felt since starting on Sat. Feeling extremely tired, sluggish and just plain pooey. :(
  131. indie.rainbow

    anybody need some new clothes?

    Lol :D
  132. indie.rainbow

    Pain Relief

    Oh god, now I want chicken legs!
  133. indie.rainbow

    Pain Relief

    Im a bit gutted, as I feel like Ive cheated somewhat, and that my first weigh in wont be a true reading. Im feeling really doubtful in general, and Im dreading the weigh in on Friday. I just SO want this to work :cry:
  134. indie.rainbow

    FINALLY!! First official WI

    ***mmmm, drools at the thought of sausages**** :D
  135. indie.rainbow

    Pain Relief

    I've got a stonking headache. I'm on day 4. Had my first shake about an hour ago. I didnt get the sickness feeling this time, as I drank about 2 litres of water before hand. I've got a bad head, and have just taken Paracetomol. Usually I always take ibruprofen, but I just thought, could this...
  136. indie.rainbow

    Cost of Lipotrim?

    I think the chemist add on a few extra quid to go towards their Christmas fund or something. The prices should be consistant accross the country. Robbing ******* :D
  137. indie.rainbow

    thank you all - No more lumpy shakes

    Hey :) I bought a kenwood 'smoothie 2 go' today. £24 from argos. Its small, and comes with two large cups that you attach the blade to, so it mixes the ice and shakes in that. Then you take off the blade and turn the cup up and drink! It also comes with lids for the cups for travel. Its...
  138. indie.rainbow

    Day 3, feeling a little sick & I cant poo!

    If you lean to the left whilst on the loo, its meant to help ease the discomfort and make you go. Takes a bit of getting used to!
  139. indie.rainbow

    Im so upset and annoyed!

    I was told not to drink at all whilst on LT. Ive got two parties this weekend, and Im going to be sipping water at both of them.
  140. indie.rainbow

    Cost of Lipotrim?

    Im in Cardiff, and pay £38 a week!
  141. indie.rainbow

    Peppermint Tea

    ooh, nice tip, thanks! ;)
  142. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Omg, I cant do it! God a headache where Im trying too hard! I gave up and tried connect four.. that pist me off even more. Lol. Damn these silly games! (I dont really mean that)
  143. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Lol. First name terms with the ghosts eh? :D Right, let the games commence! (well, not long now til home time!)
  144. indie.rainbow

    Day 3, feeling a little sick & I cant poo!

    Owchy! Im not regular, maybe once a day, or once every 3-4 days. Ill have sennokot tonight ans look forward to 'predictable relief'. Or at least I hope so. I dont hink Id cope with once every 2 weeks. Thats gotta be uncomfortable? :eek:
  145. indie.rainbow

    Listen to them when they say no hot liquid in the shaker

    Ive had that happen to me before. Hot liquids in plastic containers with a tight seal dont go together very well. Its like a mini explosion! Hope you didnt get hurt.
  146. indie.rainbow

    Woop WOOP!! 10lbs in 5days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow that really good. Im nervous about my first weigh in on Friday. Im so desperate to lose weight. Ive been going to slimming world for the last 8 weeks, and lost just over half a stone. The last 3 weeks I stayed the same weight, and was really down in the dumps, as I stuck to the diet...
  147. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Yes, I cant manage with two! I almost beat my score this morning, but that bloody pink ghost munched me up! :cry:
  148. indie.rainbow

    Day 3, feeling a little sick & I cant poo!

    I suffer from IBS, and would normally use sennokot. I purchased Ducolax to try, and I found it to be quite 'violent'. Very painful cramps that lasted long after the 'predictable relief'. I thought it was just me! :D
  149. indie.rainbow

    sorry guys, girls - time of the month question

    Oh god, I dont fancy that :sigh:
  150. indie.rainbow

    Day 3 - Headache gone

    Same here. Day three today. My mind just wouldnt switch off last night. Feeling v tired today and a little sick. x
  151. indie.rainbow

    Day 3, feeling a little sick & I cant poo!

    I wanted check on here, as the chemist said I wasnt allowed to take anything other than fibreclear. Is this just their way of making more money maybe? I just want to get everything right, so I can have a good loss each week. The first 2 days Ive felt fine, the shakes have been ok, but today I...
  152. indie.rainbow

    Day 3, feeling a little sick & I cant poo!

    I couldnt get to sleep last night. I was awake until gone 3am (no, I wasnt playing pacman:D) Feeling quite sick after my first shake :mad: Also desperatley need a number two, but it wont budge. I need to buy some fibreclear today. How long until it works? I have senokot and ducolax in the...
  153. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Lol. Im in work til 4pm. I'll try and have a sneaky go if i get time.. if not, then Ill be on there as soon as I get home! :D
  154. indie.rainbow

    A Silly Question?

    Good advice, thank you. I dont have anyone I could appoint as a chief taster really, as I manage the kitchen and oversee all of the cooking, and have to taste most things before they are served :( I also have the job of teaching a trainee chef, which can be very difficult, as she has no idea...
  155. indie.rainbow

    A Silly Question?

    Right, Ive had 2 days on LT. (SAT/SUN) Back to work tomorrow. Im a chef, and obviously need to taste the food I prepare, so's not to serve up rank tasting dishes! Im not talking about consuming large portions, less than a half a teaspoon, if that, just to check for seasoning etc. Now I...
  156. indie.rainbow

    sorry guys, girls - time of the month question

    was going to ask the same Q. Does it effect the weight loss when its that time of the month? Anyone?
  157. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    I wondered if you might be playing it with tired boggle eyes.. like I am! Its hurting my eyes and Im playing like crap coz its late. I know when I close my eyes for sleep later, all Ill see is ghosts chasing me. Arggghhhh!
  158. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Lol. Its way to addictive to give up :D
  159. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    I was trying to get to the top, but my pc froze and I had to log off! Ill try again tomorrow :D

    End Of Day 2. Little Help Needed :)

    Hi all, With regards to TFR. Its end of day two for me. Do we start losing weight once we get into ketosis, say after 3-4 days, or from day one? Im confused.com :confused:
  161. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Yeah, I was thinking that whilst I was shouting at the pc earlier. ''Stupid Pacman!'' Sad really! But I love it. Cant wait for tetris!:D
  162. indie.rainbow

    Peppermint Tea

    Hi, Are we allowed peppermint tea? What teas are we not supposed to have? :confused:
  163. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    I think im just a dimbo! Its frustrating the hell outta me, as i am a genius at ms pacman (but on my phone!) finding it hard to get used to using the arrows on the pc. Pacman forever!
  164. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    It mustnt like me :cry:
  165. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    I give up. I get ranked 6th every time and it changes my score! Its a fix! No fair :(
  166. indie.rainbow

    Starting Lipotrim tomorrow

    put a spoon of coffee in your vanilla shake. Its much nicer :)
  167. indie.rainbow

    Dreaming of food.

    Whoops! My bad. Maybe I should keep some things to myself :D
  168. indie.rainbow

    Starbucks :)

    Let me know what you think. Remember, Its all in the mind.. It really IS a starbucks :D
  169. indie.rainbow

    Dreaming of food.

    Lol. Very true! Ive also noticed that my pee has a stong smell of.... sugar puffs! Which also makes me feel hungry every time I go to the loo, which is bloody loads! Arghh!! :D
  170. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    I dont understand, as my highest score only shows as 16thousand something, but Ive scored over a hundred thousand :cry:
  171. indie.rainbow

    Day 2 and still smiling

    Dau two for me too :D I woke up with a rumbly tummy. I felt ok though. I did some housework and got a little light headed, but I think thats maybe because I hadnt had anything to drink. I had my first shake at 12 o'clock and I feel fine. Got a sickly sweet taste and smell on my breath. Could...
  172. indie.rainbow

    Starbucks :)

    It wasnt quite a starbucks, but I liked it! I think the fact that I served it in a Starbucks cup, I fooled myself into thinking it really was a strawberries and cream ;)
  173. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    just played a fresh game today, whooped the high score again, and got this message: Your score won't be stored in Database because the Arcade only saves users top score per Game.
  174. indie.rainbow

    Starting Lipotrim tomorrow

    good luck today.
  175. indie.rainbow

    Dreaming of food.

    Day one yesterday. My partner & I both woke up this morning, and it appeared we both had similar dreams. About FOOD! I dreamed about furious whisking and lush takeaway food. She dreamed about eating a whole box of chocolates until she was sick! Has anyone else experienced food related...
  176. indie.rainbow

    Starbucks :)

    Ive just had my first shake on day 2 of tfr. I dont like the strawberry shakes very much, so I had a little brain wave. I have some starbucks plastic takeaway cups in the cupboard. I mixed vanilla and strawberry, with crushed iced, and served it in the starbucks cup. Hey presto! Instant...

    Starting Lipotrim tomorrow

    its been fine. My partner is doing it too, so we can help each other. Some hunger pains, but mostly in my head, as I used to have cravings before, as soon as id finished my tea, id be thinking 'whats next' lol. I found the chocolate shake to be the nicest, and also if you add a spoon of...
  179. indie.rainbow

    Starting Lipotrim tomorrow

    I started today :) I think the best tip I can give, is whatever questions, doubts, etc, however small, or silly they may seem, just come on here and ask. There are so many people who are here to help you through. Good luck with it. Stay focused :D
  180. indie.rainbow

    Arcade. Have I been cheated? lol

    Little question, Ive been playing pacman, and whooped the high score, but It doesnt register. It keeps putting me in 6th place! It shows the high score of 58thousand something. I got 168thousand, yet im in 6th place? Is this something to do with privillages? Boo Hoo!:mad:
  181. indie.rainbow

    Do posts bump themselves back to the top of the queue?

    I noticed that a lot of posts that were 'new' this afternoon appear to have renewed themselves to the top of the post queue. Is this something we can do to our posts, or am I going mental?:confused:
  182. indie.rainbow

    Ketosis. Whats it like?

    Sorry to keep bombarding with what may seem like daft questions, but Im new to this LT malarky and need help :D Ketosis. When do we 'slip into it'? Also, what does it feel like?! How will I know? Oh god, i sound like a proper virgn..lol :8855: Also does anyone else want to cover Bea in honey...
  183. indie.rainbow

    Is it vital to drink shakes within 15 mins?

    cheers guys. I think i kind of knew this, but the lady at the chemist was a bit special bless her. Dithery and clearly away with the fairies. Wanted to double check, as I NEED to get things right. I NEED to do this!
  184. indie.rainbow

    Is it vital to drink shakes within 15 mins?

    Another Q: I just wanted to know if its ok to make up shakes before work etc, and just shake them up again when you are ready to consume them? The pharmacy advised you must drink within 15 mins, as the mixture settles and isnt very nice. I would have thought if this was the case, you can...
  185. indie.rainbow

    thank you all - No more lumpy shakes

    did you go into a shop to get it free? did you have to buy buy something and got it for free? Looking online and there is nothing offering a free shaker :confused:
  186. indie.rainbow

    The dreaded..Chicken soup!

    I started today. I only got the shakes, as Id heard the soup was awful. Have one for your tea and let us know if it really is that bad!:)
  187. indie.rainbow

    thank you all - No more lumpy shakes

    which suggestion did you go with? ;)
  188. indie.rainbow

    The dreaded..Chicken soup!

    I havent tried it, and I havent got any, as the lady at the chemist has done LT and told me to avoid it! Are you allowed to add anything, such as a sprinkle of curry powder? Im guessing not. Maybe mix it with a vanilla shake, cream of chicken. Lol
  189. indie.rainbow

    Mouth Wash & Side Effects of LT

    I cant find them anywhere in Cardiff. Ive been into every shop and chemist today, with no luck. Ive had to order mine from the USA via ebay :eek:
  190. indie.rainbow

    Mouth Wash & Side Effects of LT

    I stocked up a while ago, as Asda were selling the big bottles for £1 each. I bought 10, but not the original, as it tastes rank! Doh!
  191. indie.rainbow

    Mouth Wash & Side Effects of LT

    Thank you. Im guessing the listerine is the original one. Typical that this is the only one I dont have! I asked the chemist when I joined LT yesterday if I could use Listerine, she said yes, or Corsadol? (sp) I guess I should have been more specific and asked which 'flavour' I assumed all would...
  192. indie.rainbow

    Mouth Wash & Side Effects of LT

    Sorry to keep asking dumb questions. Its ok to use listerine mouthwash right? Does it matter which type? Or are all of them ok to use, as I have a cupboard full of all varieties :confused: Also a question or two about LT. Its our first day, 2nd shake. I notice about 5 mins after my shake, I...
  193. indie.rainbow

    'lumpy' shakes, the best way please

    Just got back from Asda, all excited, as we found a blender/smoothie maker for £6! Plugged it in ready to try our 2nd shake... and it doesnt bloody work :( Had to mix them by hand, as both starving, and will go back and swap it later. Poo!
  194. indie.rainbow

    sparklys and tickers

    great tip Mini. Still feeling rather odd. Headache and a bit wobbly. Im dissapointed, as Ive only had 1 shake. Im a bit worried that Ill feel worse as the week goes on. I was hoping Id be fine and dandy :/ Poo!
  195. indie.rainbow

    Listerine Strips

    After searching high and low, the only place Ive found them, is on the popular auction website (not sure if we are allowed to mention names, but it rhymes with pee-pay, lol) Ive orderd 288 strips, from the US. If anyone finds them anywhere else, please let me know, as I am dreading having...

    randomness & rambling. Now there is a good username! (Also my middle names) Thanks for the support, Im pleased I found this site. It was a real bonus to find games on here too :D
  197. indie.rainbow

    'lumpy' shakes, the best way please

    Lol, I always find that too. We can never have too many scissors, batteries, candles and mini daim bars! (whoops, well not any more!):)
  198. indie.rainbow

    sparklys and tickers

    Measurements all done, have plenty of 'before photos', so Im all set! Both my partner and I have started the diet together, so we will have plenty of motivation for each other. Is it normal to feel quite sick after the first shake? Feeling a little queasy at the moment. Doh!
  199. indie.rainbow

    what made you chose your username?

    I chose mine because I love music, particularly indie music, and the rainbow symbolises the gay pride flag :) I also use the name silver.rainbows. This is where my idea for indie.rainbow came from, but 'silver rainbows' is one of my favourite Genesis songs. Hope that answers your question :D...
  200. indie.rainbow

    'lumpy' shakes, the best way please

    Ive just had my first shake (day one :)) and i used a bowl and a normal hand whisk. There was very minimal lumps, i think that because im a chef, and ive spent 14 years perfecting my whisking action. lol My partner also started today, she will need a shaker for work, which we forgot to pick up...
  201. indie.rainbow

    sparklys and tickers

    Thanks Mini. Ps, Ive just had my first shake, chocolate :) feeling very excited, and cannot wait for next weeks weigh in. Ill be sure to make more posts so i can get privillages, but i dont want to bombard the site with randomness :/

    sparklys and tickers
