It disappears way to fast for my liking!!!

I know what you mean Tammy, I too find myself automatically going for the larger sizes which bury me when I try them on. On another point, I am going on holiday on Monday and have just finished packing my case which contain sizes 16, 18, 20 and 22 depending on what shop they're from. It's so...

I eat a chewy malt one for breakfast every day in the car going to work and I find it keeps me full until lunchtime. The crunchy ones though made me feel hungry very quickly.

Super loss! well done! I'm hoping for 15 something very soon.

That's what I keep saying to people who complain that it costs a lot. I pay £42.00 per week for my 3 packs a day. When I'm not eating sensibly ( i.e not on SS) I can easily spend that in 1 day. For example a coupleof bottles of wine, a takeaway and various chocolate bars and ice creams plus...

I pay £2.00 per product no matter what it is, porridege, bars, soups, shakes, tetras.

What a fantastic loss, I bet you feel over the moon. It's such as fantastic start to the weight loss journey and a great motivator. Well done you! Keep up the good work.

It's sooooo annoying when that happens. Are you doing ss? Sometimes when you're taking in so few calories and exercising the body goes in starvation mode and hangs on to every single calorie it can. You might be in danger of losing muscle as well. Have a chat to your CD and see what she...

Well done. It feels so good when you can fit into something that was tight. Keep up the good work.

Didn't like the mango - thought it was a bit bland, but will defo be trying the coconut.

Fav: Lactose free cappucino blended with ice and a large spoon of coffee, a close second, original porridge with added cinnamon, which may well overake the cappucino in the near future. Worst: all the tetras:yuk:

I have had good losses on SS+ and stayed in ketosis and if you really can't face doing SS it's a reasonable alternative. Just one word of warning though - make sure you are really strict with the allowallabe foods and weights. It's really easy to go over the 200cal limit and then the losses are...

Honk, honk. Day 12 and- it's the first day i've not felt like giving up.

Well done- now, wasn't that worth all the hard work? Good luck for a fab 2nd week.

Well done YummyMummy! That's a great loss.

Town called malice - The Jam

Sorry it takes me so long to reply, I don't log on every day. I did carry on with SW for a few weeks but didn't go to the meetings. I lost around another 2 stone by following the plan but then began to waiver - having a bit more here and there and before i knew it iwas back to overating...

Hi Mel and others, I so know what you all mean. I'm on day 6 and could still chew my own arm off. I've done the diet before but think it gets harder each time, so i really want this to be the last time i have to do it. I desparately want to eat but know i need to stay focussed. I've pledged...

I wanna sex you up - colour me bad

I did mainly red days as I'm a bit of a carb freak. Once I start I can't stop. I'm back on Cambridge sole source again now and ready to chew my own arm off at the minute!!! What are you going to do until you go on holiday?

I went to slimming world after being on Cambridge diet. I followed the plan all week and gained half a pound.This was only temporary though and the next week I lost 4lbs. The gain will be due to water and glycogen that your body will store in the liver after going back onto carbs so it's not...

It depends how many carbs you eat in the first couple of weeks. If you have been following a low carb diet your glycogen stores will be depleted.That's why you initally lose a lot of weight in the first week on a VLCD or low carb diet. Once you start to introduce carbs your liver will store a...

Mine have just gone up from £2.00 to £2.20 for the packs , I don't buy the tetras ( yuk!)- free consultation and weigh in and good stock.

I think there is a lot of conflicting evidence and advice out there. You need to drink enough to keep you hydrated but not so much as it puts unneccesary strain on your kidneys. There is such a thing as too much water which can be very dangerous as it effects the electrolyte balance in your body.

I can sit down in public toilets without having to move the sanitary bin out of the way - always a bonus!!! Sorry for lowering the tone:p

Sounds good Miss Laura, I'll catch it tomorrow while I'm doing the dreaded ironing! Thanks for post.

I was toying with the idea of getting a tattoo with the number 355 in it as that was my heaviest weight. I thought it might be a permenant reminder to never let myself get that heavy again. But, as I'm a tattoo virgin I dont know whether I would be able to stand the pain!!!

My hubby bought one for me this xmas. I really love it and it gets me motivated to get off the couch. I agree it's not the same as doing an intensive workout at the gym but anything that gets you off the couch and moving has got to be good, right? :p

Fab thread! feel exactly the same. According to my scales I've put on 10lbs in just over a week. Hardley surprising though the amount of food I've chowed down on. I too feel that I've undone all my hard work and am thoroughly P***** Off. In reality though it should only take a week or two to...

Oops - sorry about the spellings:rolleyes:

Hi hun, please don't be disappointed, you set yourself a goal and you reached it - well done you! . Just focus on that to get you through Chritmas and new year. Your new year goals are absolutly achievable and you will look amazing this time next year. Don't let this "perceived failure" set you...

That's a fantastic 4th week loss. Well done you!

I'm a long way from goal but it doesn't seem quite as daunting as it did several weeks ago. I think I've finally realised that it is a marathon and not the 100mtrs dash. I've lost just over 6stones so far and probably hae another 8 stones to go, so not even half way but I do feel ok about it...

Hi Emsie, I understand where you're coming from. I find compliments are usually a double edged sword. On the one hand it feels good that people are noticing all your hard work, but on the other hand, when they say someting like "You are looking really good" I want to say back "Did I look like...

Have always bought what fits best and not bothered about what the label says. Sizes are so different where ever you shop I don't worry. I completley agree. Going off the labels will drive you nuts. I too currently wear clothes from 18 - 28 and they all fit. It's really disheartening though...

Quality!! - Just cheered up my Friday.

Hi Zayna, Personally I think it has something to do with not having the carbs. When i eat carbs i just have to keep on eating them and get a real craving in my stoach that feels like a big empty hole that needs to be filled. As soon as i go sole source and stop eating carbs the hunger ( after...

Good grioef that's 1Lb a day:eek:. Amazing weight loss, well done!

Hi SlimmerSue, Yeah I can laugh about it now. In fact it's one of the main topics of conversation everytime me and friend get drunk - which admittidly is not too often on this diet!

oops, should have read 'head' - geez I've enough problems without having 2 heads aswell!

You know you're too big when... You go to watch a game of rugby, get stuck in the turnstile and need the fire brigade to get you out - honestly!:o:o That was when I weighed over 26stones. Thankfully, I'm on the way down now and plan to visit the ground again just before christmas- (obviously...

Would love to be 18st something, even if it's 18st 13lbs! That would be a real milestone for me as I haven't been that for around 25years.

Well done Megan. Keep up the good work!

Hormones must be on overdrive today - bawled my eyes out like a baby.:cry: It was a nice touch having V come back for Jack.

Sadly, The same thing has happened to me many times of the years. In fact just this year I had one particularly distressing incident. I was on holiday and was walking down the beach to find a vacant sunbed when some morons with a toy loudspeaker began to make loud thumping footseteps through it...

Hi there, This is my third time on Cambridge and I ususally begin with a week of SS and then go onto Mon-Fri SS and weekends SS+. I find it helps to have something to look forward to at the end of a long hard week!!! It doesn't seem to affect the losses. Just be really carefully that you measure...

Thanks Izzymum:)

I have lost 5 stones so far ( started off very overweight) and people are just starting to notice now. It feels sooo good. Yesterday though i was in the supermarket when I came across my boss and her husband, we stopped and had a chat and then went about our own shopping. Today when I got in...

Hi Desperate 360, Wow, it was just like reading my own life story. The trick is to not give up. Find a diet that works for you and if that stops working find another. There are literally hundreds of thousands of different diet/eating plans out there so you're not going to run out any time soon...

You've lost a lot of weight in a short space of time, your body is just adjusting thats all. Sometimes it happens like that. Your body needs to sit down and have a breather before dropping those pounds again. Keep at it and next week I'm sure you'll see a loss. :)

Amazing Ian, your're an inspiration to us all out there. I love looking at before and afters and you've just averted my trip to the fridge. Well done you!:worthy:

Go girrrl!! Well done, you must be feeling over the moon now.

Hi Lunar Jim, Just looked at your pics for some inspiration and that's a serious weight loss in an amazingly short time. :worthy: You look fabulous!!

Welcome hun, I'm sure you'll be excited bythe results!:)

Stick with it hun. I know its thoroughly disheartening when you've deprived yourself and done everything right... but, you can't fail to lose large numbers on this diet. It will be a blip and next week you'll see a massive drop. You owe it to yourself to try for one more week! Good luck

Sorry Hun, I don't have any info about the water but just wanted to say you look amazing. I've been on CD for a week now and because i'm starving was trawling through looking for inspiration and motivation and you certainly have given me that. The difference in you is unbelievable. Thank you...

nuts!

Oh and congratulations n the fantastic weight loss by the way!

Unfortunately those memories stay firmly with us and if we let them, colour our view of ourselves. I can't believe how insensitve the club was in giving you a pig to put into your fridge!! They should have been closed down.:mad: I hope you find slimming world a much better club with lots of...

Wow! you look amaaaaaazing

5.5 lbs is soooooooo amazing- fab loss hon. It's so good when people start noticing:D

Hi John, I was on lipotrim for almost 2 weeks and lost 21lbs i had to change because of medical advice so switced to Atkins i have lost 8lbs in my third week on atkins and stayed in ketosis throughout. I have to say though i haven't gone mad and eaten unlimited quantities of protein i probably...

I'm dead chuffed for you Han Han. All these delicious new experiences and all in three short months. Enjoy yourself hun next time get him to swing you round cos you're now as light as a feather.:)

Lol... Just a few questions before i accept my invite!!!:giggle: Will it be formal or casual? Need to know in order to plan my new outfit in a new smaller size. Will there be lipotrim on the buffet table or will I have to bring my own supply? Also will Simon be there i do fancy him something...

Fantastic! You look absolutely gorge!

Thanks guys- lovely to hear from you all again. This forum is so amazing - the best one on minimins!!! :)

Way to go determined girl - good things are happening to you. don't try to think too deeply about it and try to go with the flow. You're in no way responsible for this guys break up with his girlfreind. That's his decision. You are obviously giving out uber confident vibes with your new emerging...

;)Hiya everone, Its been a couple of weeks since I last posted. You may rememebr I had been using lipotrim and developed a rash and doc said to stop. Well I went onto Atkins and have lost another 8lbs since then so over 2 stone now in three weeks. The rash however is still very much with...

Thanks Quak, I'm going to give atkins a go for a week until the rash settles that way i'll have a clean slate to start exante.

Thanks everyone, have just been shopping for atkins stuff. The rash is spreading all over now a new bit of skin every hour or so - so i suppose i do need to stop. Will try Atkins for now but i think i do have the motivation tocarry on. Keep up the good work everyone and i'll keep popping in to...

Thanks everyone will definetly try the piriton and high protein route. x

Cheers Chelly, keep posting let me know how you get on. How long have you been on it?

Hi everyone, PLease help i need some good advice from all you out there. Came out in a rash on Friday that's got steadily worse - now all over my stomach legs and feet. Been to chemist pharmasiti says it's probably the lipotrim. Went to docs who said it definatly was and advised me to come off...

Hi Guys, really need some help. I'm feeling very despondent at the minute. I've just been told by Doc to come off LT as I've developed a rash all on my stomach legs and feet. He says its an allergic reaction to somethig in the Lipotrim. I am trying to find an alternative as ive onlybeen on the...

All of the above, plus: Walks at least three times around the house ( Including up and down stairs) and garden whilst on the phone! Leaves every draw, cupboard door open when he's got something out!:mad: Forgets my birthday, our anniversary etc:cry: Stays out at the football for 8 hours...

That's a brilliant loss - well done! x:)

A super loss babe- well done.

Super loss, well done!

Hi hun, you're almost there, and it will get better i promise. Once ketosis kicks in your hunger pangs will get much less and you'll find that you won't be thinking about food and deprivation. When you jump on those scales in a few days time it will all be worth it - honestly!!

Yeah, this diet is definately cheaper than my old ways of eating. We used to go out to eat 3/4 nights a week and when i wasn't doing that i'd be sitting in front of Tv with my ususal binge food or take away. I always remember British Telecom having an offer on phone bills where they...

:woohoo:Size 12 sounds pretty amazing Elle-em!

Fantastic loss loulougirl. Well done!

Thanks again everyone i'm in my second week and feeling great!!! I told my lipotrim advisor about this site and about all the wonderful lasses and lads that are on here - you couldn't get this level of support if you paid a private counsellor £300.00 per hour, It truly is a fantastic resource -...

That's the trouble isn't it there's not much you can do to influence the weight loss, it is what it is. On other diets you can reduce your calories or change focus from carbs to proteins or up your cardio excercise. But with LT you have your shakes and that's it. I do understand your concerns...

Thanks Elle-Emm:)

I really echo these sentiments DG I think that for many of us it's that kind of thinking that got us overweight in the first place - In a strange way LT gives us the opportunity of taking a break from thinking about food and food related issues as decisions, largely,are taken out of our hands...

:massmoon:to the miserable old trout aqt the chemists! 8lbs is something to be proud of. I agree with Betsy you should have congered ( ?) all around the chemists. Enjoy your mags and lovely shake and think about the new surprise next week. take care xxx

When's your next weigh in Betsy? You are having some serious weight losses- are you upping your activity levels or not?

Thanks determined girl - i do feel like it's the start of something monumental - maybe this time eh?;)

:giggle: Love the name i might adopt it when i drop another 4 stones! No, didn't do any extra activity - possibly less than normal as i was going to bed quite early to avoid food and also had a stinking cold for 3 days. Am thinking of going swimming a couple of times this week - just to get...

:8855: Looking forward to just a small tidal wave over the next few weeks:)

Bed is the best policy in moments like these. It will be better tomorrow. Take care xx

whooo hooo Taff!! 40lbs is a super achievemnet and so is gettinginto an 18's top, bet you felt fab! xx

So agree withyou there Betsy :)

"We only fail when we stop trying" don't know who said it but its very true. Dust yourself off hun and start all over again. Try not to be cruel to yourself we are only human and we make mistakes somtimes. Good luck and hugs for the coming week xxx

Hi hun, please don't be disheartened it won't keep halving each week and 4lbs is a fantastic loss. When you look at all the members' weight losses you see that some weeks it quite small and then others it makes a massive jump. I guess it's just the nature of the diet. I know how hard it is when...

Hi Chooky, thanks hun - congratulations on your fab loss!!! You'll be at your goal in no time. Thanks Tafflass - I'd told myself i'd be happy with 10lbs - but secretly inside i wanted the full stone - being a very big lass i thought this might be achievable - but the loss was beyond my...

Cheers Summergurl, i know i'm really neurotic it's just that ive been on so many diets over the last 35 years and been so disappointed with weight loss - but this is just in another league. This diet rocks!!

Just come back from my first WI and am 18lbs lighter.:D:D:D I can't believe it i even got on the scales twice to make sure I was reading it right. This would have taken me 6 weeks on regular weight loss programmes. I'm am absolutely over the moon, cock a hoop, thrilled, delighted, chuffed, (...

Thanks everyone, really good to have such fantastic support.

Thanks tafflass, i know i'm being really stupid and yes your right it will be more than ive lost on regularly diets which frankly have been soul destroying. I'll look out for your post tomorrow Chooky. Mines at 6pm - good losingX

Hi everyone, just getting a little jittery about my first weigh in tomorrow. I can't really say that its been as bad as I thought it was going be- bit of a relief really to have all food decisions taken away from me. I know my stomach is giving me a big thank you because its having an enforced...

Personally I really enjoy the soup. With a little peper it is really quite tasty. I've also been making my choc shake with lodsa ice and a spoon of coffee- whipped up in the smoothie machine it tastes really special. One confession though, I do pour it into a Stella Artois glass and drink it...

Unbelievable!!! You must feel like a new woman. I'm on my 6th day so I know now that anything's possible. Cheers!:)

Your right, its really strange. Before I started LT I had 10 weeks of partying - fast food, vodka and cider - not once did a morsel of fruit touch my lips. Now? I am walking past a manky old apple in the fruitbowl with my tongue hanging out- crazy uh?

;) HI Betsybotox, Love your 3rd goal, made me chuckle. I'd like to sit up in the bath without causing a Tsunami at one end! Your weight losses are absolutely amazing :D My first weigh in is on Wednesday and I'm hoping for great things.

Hi Determined Girl, I'm a teacher too and in a similar position to you. Didn't really want to share my new diet with anyone. I've been on it for 6 days now and the first week back was ok. I have avoided the staffroom at lunch time until about 10 minutes before bell and then I've gone up for a...

Count me in ta x Have just started LT 2nd Sept and hope to lose 42lbs by xmas.

Thanks everyone, this site is a true godsend. Its good to know that support is just a mouseclick away. xx:D

Thanks for the info, i didn't realise you could take the shakes hot that will really help today. Congrats on your fantastic weight loss!:)

Hi everyone out there, this is my first post on the site but i've been reading all the wonderful posts and getting lots of support during my first 4 days. I've got around 15 stones to lose and i've tried everything so i thought i'd give this a go. First 3 days ok but woke up this morning with a...
