Yay! Another pound gone. Excellent, considering I have had the famous Scottish hospitality shoved down my throat all last week. I'm so pleased I went to my weigh-in before I went to Scotland as it has stopped me getting complacent. It has also made me not use being on holiday an excuse to...

Yeeha, another pound off

Well, that's another pound off. Not bad considering I had Scottish hospitality thrust down my throat all last week. Unfortunately hubby has put it all back on plus half a pound. Better luck next week.

Now I'm not religious but tonight the hand of someone lifted my belly up far enough to make it look like I'd lost three and a half pounds and this was confirmed by the lovely Natalie, a miracle had taken place. And yes, I did a little victory dance. Finally it is all clicking in to place...

OMG - 3.5lbs off! Was dreading getting on the scales but chuffed to bits getting off, even did a little dance! Roll on next week. Good luck everyone x

Hear ye, hear ye, roll up for the diary entry before the weigh-in. I've been a good girl this week, honest. To the extent that last night I swanned around Leeds in a pair of size 16, I repeat, size 16 skinny jeans that were baggy round the waist. I know, out on a Saturday night and it wasn't...

Don't you just hate it when people don't react the way you expect? There I was, quaking in my Fit Flops, ready to be weighed and suspecting the worst - a gain - and my counsellor didn't bat an eyelid or venture an opinion when it showed I had put on two pounds. This is the miracle of Weight...

Hi As suspected the dinner at the dance caught up with me - 2.5lbs on. Oh well, this is another week. Linda

Having trouble with T'internet but another half pound has gone. It's been a pretty bad week so am sure I'll see it again.

Good Morning Vietnaaaaaaam! It is actually early evening in Pudsey, home of the one-eyed bear but it doesn't sing as well as the other greeting. So, damn you virgin media, broadband is not as reliable this week for some reason. I've certainly lost pounds (£) this week but unfortunately only...

Well, that was traumatic. Just said goodbye and thanks for all the support on the LT thread/diary I had from last year. Yup, for a while LT was my friend and the only thing that was allowed in my kitchen cupboards. This year, or at least two weeks ago, my husband and I (and we're not even...

Note to self - do not promise and not deliver. Almost one year on and I've decided to join WW. No, not World Wrestling, the other one! My only consolation is that I never weighed more than my LT starting weight during my year in the wilderness. But still, fat is fat no matter how you are...

Hi all, I used to be on one of the other forums (lipotrim) last year but couldn't sustain it for various reasons. Last week my husband and me said enough was enough so we have joined up to Weight Watchers. Our weigh-in is Monday so if it's ok with everyone can I join in? First week he lost...

Well that's that for a little while. Had my surgery on the 4th of August, healing nicely and don't look as if I've been glassed and am now back on the LT. Got to get rid of the tissue expanders somehow! I'd forgotten how gut wrenchingly hungry you get at the beginning but am determined to...

Hi there, long time no see. Well as suspected I didn't think my head was in the right place to continue LT in the run up to surgery. I have a date now for next Wednesday and I am loading on protein ready for LT as soon as I get out. Face it I'll be drinking through a straw for a while so it...

£30 to repair my gnashers, £36 for a week's supply of LT. Do the maths. Dashed expensive sarnie/mistake. I saw a great tattoo the other day which I may get done on me, "Never a mistake, always a lesson" A motto for all of us when the flesh weakens xx

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH and the LT god looked down on me and said "if you take a bite of that sandwich, something bad will happen". My hearing is not the best and I'm not particularly a believer so I crossed my fingers and bit. Well the noise inside my head was...

Well done Nat, you loser you x

Diva, if it was unhealthy hospitals wouldn't use it for their obesity management programmes. It is definitely drastic and shouldn't be viewed as a long term or permanent solution to all of our weight problems. Our pharmacists have all been trained and will never sanction anyone starting LT if...

As long as you play Bejewelled Blitz - Linda Morgan - pic is of me and my gran at her 100th birthday party two years ago.

Diva, we're all buddies on here. Remember and join the monthly challenge - no prizes just good goal setting. Good luck

Cathy, thank you. Came back from a long walk with Susie (puppy) Alison (daughter) Olivia (granddaughter) and Sasha, her dog earlier and OH sent us both to bed for a little snooze. We didn't need telling twice. Sobering thought as I staggered upstairs carrying my 9kg pup. She weighs what I've...

Oh well, went to the chemist today, got weighed, no change, good-ho! 100% LT from now till goal. Wish me luck xx

Ladies, always remember you are as much my inspiration as all the other LT'ers on this forum. Every time I reach for a therapeutic ginger nut, I imagine you all tutting away at me and that keeps me strong when the urge comes on me. Today has been a difficult, nay, impossible day and my chicken...

Oh well second is much better than not finishing the race. (Note to self) And now the footie is on, come on Spain. Then off for a shower and I think I'll get the tape measure out. Wish me luck!

Well as refeeds go this has been hell. There's only so much enjoyment to be had from eating with such negative results. I even tried a glass of wine last night. Couldn't enjoy it in case my brain melted. But just in case it did, I had a big bowl of ice-cream with extra thick double cream...

OMG, just noticed my girl pup's gender has been bleeped. Sorry moderators, thought there would have been a context filter.

Cathy, you are too kind. But when the choices are breathing or boxed up, life is too short to huddle in a corner whimpering. That's why LT is such a joy, no thinking, just shake and eventually you will stop wobbling! Skinny, my little ***** is a 16 week old Staffordshire bull terrier in...

Hiya, I don't know what's worse, imagining the fat expanding with every refeed mouthful or lurching rather unsteadily from one shake to the next! I think it's a tie. Although seeing as how my replacement meal has consisted of three croissants ( no spread or jam or honey mind) two dipped Flakes...

Oh dear diary, how can I cope with the excitement? Went for my weigh-in (next time I'm stripping to my thong) and I'm now 88kg, 13st 12lbs and still officially, officiously overweight. Most importantly I haven't gained anything apart from a sense that this isn't fair. I spoke to the woman in...

What a lovely week this has been. Didn't go to my weigh-in on Saturday because basically I didn't want to see disappointment or pity in my pharmacist's eyes. Anyhoo that was then this is now. This week I have mostly been having LT, H20, work and walking. Debating whether to be weighed on...

14lbs please xx

Evening all, and a special hello to Jemimarobin. Thank you. Today has not been a good day for LT but I'm fine with that. I've found that as long as I don't beat myself up for falling off the wagon I don't stress, therefore each day is a new start. I'm still over a stone lighter than when I...

Thank you skinnyone. I don't see myself as brave or courageous especially not at the moment. I did when I had my first malignant melanoma removed in 1995. I was convinced I'd never see my kids grow up and I'd die a horrible death - and I'm a nurse and should know better. A long chat with a...

Hi Sonya, the referral to the plastic surgeons was faxed over yesterday so I should hear something in the next two weeks. It's weird because it's not as if surgery is unfamiliar to me but it's getting worse each time submitting to the knife. How do people get hooked on cosmetic surgery? To...

Well, got the whole story today from my dermatologist. I now need more surgery on my face and she found another one on my back. Unfortunately that's the kind of weightloss I could do without. So, I haven't decided whether to continue with LT or not because there's too much else going on...

Talking about bubbles being burst, it turns out my biopsy two weeks ago wasn't negative, it was another malignant melanoma. Sorry ladies but I self medicated with a CDM bar. In the grand scheme of things it's not the end of the world and it did make me feel a little less tearful. As Scarlett...

OMG, my feet, my legs and of course the puppy - just call her Stumpy. We ended up walking about 5 miles. That's four miles more than either of us is used to doing at one time. OH didn't answer the phone when we threw the towel in so we had to get home somehow or die trying. Typical, OH rang...

Well, just back from the chemist's and.......yay me! Another 2.3kg missing from my knickers. Baby has not got so much back as last week! Now I don't care if the sun isn't shining, my grin is lighting up Leeds instead. The dog and me are going to spend some quality time having a walk in the...

Dear diary, today has been nice and sunny, again. If this keeps up the press will be claiming that it's summer. Anyhoo, I've just had a two course meal and I'm stuffed. Eyes back in your heads ladies, it was 100% LT. Chicken soup followed by a thick and lovely chocolate mousse. Today it...

What a lovely day we've had today in Leeds. Almost solid sunshine and hot too. I've certainly drunk the water and walked the dog. The little love is only 12 weeks and her little legs are nearly worn down to stumps! The OH and me walked her this morning and then OH has taken her out twice...

This sucks! That's it, can't say any more. Still on Lipotrim, nearly mad with it all.

Hi Ladies, we're lucky enough to have a mint plant in our back garden and a few freshly picked leaves and a teabag make a lovely refreshing drink. Oh yeah, and the boiling water. I'm with Clara on the vanilla and coffee. I make up an espresso and whisk in the powder and add hot water to...

Oh dear diary, this has been a troublesome week. I am still struggling with my relationship to food and stress. Having said that I am amazed I've still managed to lose 300gms, what a joke I am. Almost a stone since the beginning, 13 lbs, amazing, and still more than if I'd been on a...

Dear diary, I hate this diet but I love the results. There is nothing else to say apart from OH has thrown in his towel. I am still being good if not always perfect and am still getting his support in other ways. He does a lovely fresh mint tea! Roll on Saturday for my next weigh-in...

Well done on the fantastic loss but I have to agree with my learned ladies, steer clear of the beer! Opt for fizzy or soda water and tell anyone that asks that it's a v&t. Much better than feeling unwell and guilty. Birthday wishes nevertheless x

Hi and welcome Josie. Good luck with your journey. This is a great place for encouragement, hints, tips and advice on how to fill the spaces eating took up. The time will fly by.

Clare, meant to say, if you haven't joined in with the June challenge already, do so. Cut and paste the last posting, Add your name to the bottom and update it every week. It's another incentive. x

Well done on your first week's 5lbs loss, now look forward to week two. We live opposite a Chinese take-away and sitting in the back garden is a sweet torment with all the lovely smells. If we're on this diet for the summer their profits are going to be well down, LOL!

Well done Clare, it makes all the sacrifices well worth it doesn't it. Here's to a similar story next week. x

Today is my new day for being weighed and I am now 91.3kg from a start of 96.9kg and I am feeling great. Mind you I have kicked myself all the way back from the chemists because of all the naughties I had the previous week especially as I have been weighed after only four days of this week. I...

Another day done and now for the dreaded weekend. No work might make for idle hands and a rumbly tum. OH had a nightmare the other night that he'd been caught by the police in our local MacD's after he broke in and ate the restaurant contents. Thankfully that's not an image to tempt me...

Hi Sonya, thanks for that. Didn't take any measurements just going by how my clothes are fitting, especially my uniform. Had a go at my staff yesterday after a few of them remarked on my shrinking double chins! I suggested that if they cared they should have said something about my increasing...

Why does work have to intrude on life? I now realise that that is where most of my bad habits come from.If it isn't difficult staff it's difficult surgeons and they all send me to the biscuit tin, the cake shop or the sweetie counter. If I can't wait, there's always toast and butter, the first...

Hi, I find ebay a perfect place to shop for transition clothes. Today I won a beautiful 100% silk size 18 dress for the princely sum of £13.19 inc p&p and a fantastic pair of suede Roland Cartier shoes for £12.75. The shoes will always fit me and the dress, being silk, will look just as good...

Hi Suzy and welcome to the wacky world of weightloss LT style. Read the posts, add your own hints and tips and be prepared for the pats on the back.

Well done on the loss Sam, but as the girls have already said, don't get complacent. I was the same and as a true tight Scot I've done with buying LT and shelling out for food. It's LT 100% all the way.

Hi Niamh. Now I'm no expert but if you've been 100% LT then you shouldn't drop out of ketosis. However the needing to eat sounds like you are normal. It's annoying when it interrupts your beauty sleep though. And after all your losses you are still beautiful. If you can't sleep, get up...

Honk for me and honk for him!

Good luck Natalie, it's not the how you lose it it's how determined you are. You go girlfriend!

Well the OH has just come back from work and I lovingly mixed his strawberry shake. I'm such a devoted new wifey. Not good enough to do his ironing but I'm a whiz with the Kenwood. I've had my last shake, vanilla, as a lovely latte and so far so good. A few hunger pangs especially when...

Thank you Sonkie, it will definitely help now OH is on LT. Although we are each on our own journey. I've scrubbed the kitchen, stripped the oven and hob, polished the grill pan and locked all the pans away. We got an espresso machine as a wedding present and it is primed and ready and...

Oh well, it could have been worse considering my less than halfhearted effort last week. I now weigh 94.1kgs and it's all my own fault. I get my stitches out later and solemnly promise that I will stick to Lipotrim 100% until I reach goal. I don't like feeling guilty or fat. Today my OH...

Natalie, stop beating yourself up. A slip is human, unfortunate but human. The very fact you looked at yourself, did your research and found lipotrim suggests you are going to go all the way. You don't go that effort for nothing. This is a journey we're all on together. Some of us will...

Loudeii, don't feel bad. Look how far you've come. You've been inspirational for so many of us so good luck with Slimming World, please keep us up to date with how you get on, keep strong

I think I'll just stick to the shakes and soups. If I do any cooking at all it'll just be a short leap to a bacon buttie!

Hi, I find that the vanilla one tastes like Carnation milk, yummy. I don't mind any of shakes cold but I love mixing the vanilla into a large Costa americano coffee, lovely latte or what. It's definitely better blended using a mixer but I have a shaker for work. The soup isn't too bad again...

Thanks Nikki. Friends say that if I wrote it all down no-one would believe it. After I got out of hospital in 2005, and recovered from my broken arm and got my second tattoo to celebrate my second malignancy and had my belly button pierced to celebrate being 13 stones my 18year old son and me...

Thanks Sonkie, I wish I could say I re-started today but my lovely new husband (chef) has decided he needs to get as healthy as I intend to get. And as it's a bank holiday my chemist is closed so can't weigh-in till tomorrow. So today was our last meals!!!! At least they were memorable, lamb...

Funnily enough I said the same thing five years ago, before I started lipotrim then.. So there I was stood outside the chemist waiting for it to open so I could collect my prescription when I thought to myself that the woman I could see in the chemists window could do with losing a few pounds...

Hi I've had a miserable time on my second week, had surgery and haven't stuck to lipotrim hardly at all. Anyway, June is another month, I managed 4kg lost so far so I will put myself down for a conservative 14lbs. Give me strength for I look better without my double chin, jelly belly and...

WooHoo! 4kgs lost in 6 days on Lipotrim. Knock off my 8.8lbs please. Linda

Looking forward to my first weigh in on Monday, please put me down for 14lbs to lose for the May challenge. Linda

Hi y'all. I don't have scales at home and am desperate for my first weigh in on Monday. Unfortunately there are scales at work that I can't resist hopping on whenever I pass them and I'm scared I'm kidding myself that I'm losing weight, because, face it, that's what this is all about. I'm a...
