Going to give this one a try :)

Thank you for the advice. I will def try using the water bottle to mix the shakes, as i really don't want to stop again. Its been so hard to start where i left off. Thanks again ;)

I started this diet again two days ago, but I've just remembered that i go away for a few days in under 2 weeks. I've ordered and paid for meals for the days that i'm away already. Do i stop now and resume when i come back or should i continue with the shakes up on till i go even though...

Today is the day of new beginnings for me. I started this diet back in April and I'm ashamed to say that i fell of the band wagon in a big way, and i was doing so well at the time:booboo:. I decided to take a break after doing a few weeks of it........BIG, BIG mistake !! I found it so...

Congratulations........ All the best with your pregnancy hun!!

You look AMAZING!!!!!!....... Congrats on a fantastic result :happy096:. Your pics are just what i need right now after falling of the band wagon.... BIG TIME!!!!!!! :banghead:. Getting ready to start again...

Yay!!! Can i jump on board??? Fat2fit- 0lbs lost

Hya. Congratulations on starting your journey, this forum is a great place to get advice, tips, encouragement and much more. I have the 30 day shred DVD and can say that it is a good DVD. Jillian is a great trainer and there are 3 different levels, level one being the easiest and the one I'm...

:D SEE..... Thats what i mean....... You lot are fantastic!!!! Thats what im talking about, this is where you get the encouragement you need to keep on keeping on :). Evil weevil you hit the nail on the head. Those pesky demons sitting on our shoulders just need knocking off every time they try...

Thank you purplekel. It is a hard diet, but we will get there......:). I'm praying ketosis comes quickly as i'm not bothered at all by food once its kicked in. Going to try and stay focused now!!! Good luck to you too.......... Nicola x

Hi all. :break_diet:I have been off the diet now for about a week due to illness and i am really struggling to start again. Its like I've lost my focus. I keep telling myself that once i get into ketosis things will get easier, its just that each time i start i mess up within the day :sigh:. I...

Awe thanks!! Yeah it was all the inspirational stories and weight loss results that have kept me going. There have been many days i've wanted to quit because of temptation, but this site has kept me focused..

Thank you! I've got a long way to go and have no desire to quit just yet :). I've got some outfits i want to get back into, and my cousins wedding to look forward to in august, so yes, onwards and downwards lol :D:D

Thank you everyone.......:D

Hi. Thank you!! Yes the shred does work. Gillian michaels does a great job at keeping you motivated and level one for beginners is only a 20 min session, tiring but do able :)

I'm actually losing weight!!!...... Wow!!........... Really pleased with the result i got today. I started this journey not knowing whether i could stick it out, i know my hubby definitely didn't think i could do it lol, and here i am 2 weeks later and 18lbs lighter. :) I am sooooooooo happy...

Oh thank you. I was soooo worried........ Onwards and upwards then :) :)

Well done. Great job!!! Its spured me on :)

Im really worried that i may have sabotaged my diet. Yesterday i was really light headed during the afternoon, then about 8pm i got the warning signs of an impending migraine as i had the tell tale zig zag lines and blurred vision, so i too pain relief before i got the full blown headache and...

Well done X

Thanks for your advice :) x

Awe.......I think id be blushing now if i could lol...:D

Thanks. Im actually enjoying the shakes and soups. I spice the soups up a little with black pepper, boullion, tabasco sauce and you wouldnt even know they were diet shakes lol, and i love the chocolate shakes, they are my fav!! :D

Hi You will get all the support and tons of encouragement on this site. You have made a good decision to start again and i wish you every success with your weight loss. Just stick to it, you wont be disappointed. I have lost a total of 12lbs already and Ive only been on this diet 9 days. I lost...

I wondered if it was ok to combine the VLCD's for a bit of variety, lets say Exante with Slim and save. The reason i ask is because i know that with slim and save you get meal like diets and shakes/soups, and thought it would be a good idea to get some just so that in the evenings once ive...

Does anyone know if we are allowed to chew chewing gum? I feel as though i have to avoid people like the plague because my breath smells dreadful. I have bought a breath freshener spray but don't feel the "fresh" breath lasts for long enough lol. I love to talk but feel hampered by this...

You guys are great and so encouraging. Thank you to all of you :bighug:

Thanks shini!! x

Great to have you back on board again!! x

Wow!! Thats fantastic :happy096:. Great work!! 18lbs is a very good result. Keep up the good work! :)

Thank you ladies!! :)

Hi louise1991. I know what you are going through re the comfort eating, food was my best friend when i was stressed, but thank God i can now put an end to the vicious cycle i was going through. Just try turning any negative criticism you get from anyone into a positive by sticking to this diet...

:happy036:I am sooooo chuffed! I couldn't wait to step on the scales this morning, so i was up pretty early. I must say i am pleased to see my weight come down by a big 10lbs....yes!!! Looking forward to what the coming weeks have to bring :D Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement...

Hya. I think I've lost about 10lbs so far. Cant resist not weighing daily, my proper weigh day is tomorrow so im hoping to get at least another 1lb off today.:D

LoL:)

Today has been a real test for me, as i have Easter eggs all over the place. I have 3 boys and and a big family so you can imagine the temptation im trying to resist lol, where normally it wouldn't bother me, i feel now i can actually hear the eggs saying....."eat me"...."eat me" lol :)

Im just doing the shakes

Hi. It does get better. Im on day 7 now, but i did have that really hungry feeling yesterday and i just had to keep drinking cups and cups of black coffee and hot boullion to get me through. Dont worry too much about falling of the wagon a bit, we are only human after all lol. Just pick yourself...

Wow!!! Reading your reply has inspired me sooooooo much!:D You have done a fantastic job, and given me that push to keep going. I am on my 7th day now and sometimes wonder if i can keep this up. I do enjoy the shakes and im loving how i feel right now, but sometimes i just think can i really do...

I forgot to add that my energy levels dont seem to be any lower than usual. I tend to get headaches when i dont eat regularly, and so far ive not had any at all since ive been having the shakes. :)

Awe babe, i totally understand how you feel. I have 3 boys 7,5 and 2 and am left with a tummy so big my two youngest keeps asking me when im having the next baby lol. I am the heaviest i have ever been and have very little confidence in the way that i look, as i have never been this big before...

Oh Great!! Thank you for your reply :)

Hi Please can someone tell me wether or not the 2-4 litres of water we need to drink daily includes other permitted drinks or are they in addition to??. Im fed up of just drinking water and hot boullion so ive bought some coke zero, not that im much of a coke drinker, and i wondered if what i...

Its great isn't it!!! My new numbers are giving me the motivation to keep on going.........

Hi all. I cant believe that ive made it to day 4, that's a real achievement for me, as the old me would have given in to temptation by now. Had a filling done yesterday and once finished the dentist said that i should avoid eating on it for a couple of hours and i just thought if only you knew...

Thank you!!! Its great to hear from someone that has been on this diet and lost the weight successfully and is still maintaining. Very encouraging!! Thank you for sharing :)

:D I've made it to day three and very proud of myself as my husband reckons i cant stick to anything lol. I don't actually feel that hungry to be honest and have to force myself to drink my shakes and soups which i think taste quite nice -once I've jazzed them up a bit:D. In terms of goals, i...

Sorry your Exante experience ended so soon. Hope the Atkins diet serves you better!! Nicola x

Hi ladies... I've just started my shakes today and i must say i found it really difficult when i had to prepare lunch and dinner for my family. I made a big mistake when i bought chips for my 3 boys aged 2,5 and 7, as they didn't eat them and as i hate to see food going in the bin, i caved in...

Evening ladies!!........ Well I had my last gorge i mean supper today, and i must say i enjoyed it lol. I also had my easter egg too, as i know im only going to be aloud to look on and imagine when the boys are tucking into theirs.....Sobs:cry:, but i only have myself to blame for what ive...

YAY!!!! Thank you:)

Hi there, yep! The 30 day shred is a great exercise DVD. Jillian really gives you a good work out. I've just started it, im only into my third day, but my stamina is already increasing. It will have you sweating by the time you've finished the warm up lol..... Nic x

Hi there. Can i jump on board with you. I'm starting the exante diet on Monday, and need all the support i can get especially as im already beginning to miss my food. I really don't know how im going to manage cooking for my family and maintain this diet..........scary thought!!! I really need...

Mushy pea curry.....yum!! Ive tried this one, and my family love it. Admittedly it dosnt look that great once its finished, but it tastes great, the empty plates speak for themselves... You can also freeze it too if you have any leftovers.... X

Hola..... I have been a slimming world member now for 4 weeks and I really love it. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas, tips, suggestions, or recipes for me to try that are sweet, but wont leave me regretful, as I have a sweet tooth, something which I developed after having my third child...

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this recipe. I absolutely luuuuuuuurve Angel delight, in fact i used to mix and eat a whole packet for myself,....naughty naughty!! I cant not wait to try this one.... Going shopping again tomorrow... :) :) :)

Hi all. I joined Slimming world 4 weeks ago, I'm absolutely loving it, and would like to say that I wished id started on this diet sooner, but as they say, there's a right time for everything. I would definitely benefit from having some diet buddy partners, so please, count me in....... :)

Eat stop eat Hya naz. I have heard about this diet, in fact I have tried it and I must say it is very effective. If you have the discipline to fast for 24 hours then it does work, along with exercise. I lost 8lb in the first week I tried this diet, and had an enormous amount of energy to go...

Thanks. Right im going to start leaving the car in the mornings for the school run, il be doing alot more walking. I definately dont want to increase my muscle mass too much. I really just want to tone up. Iv got the Rebecca Wheatley-The new workout Dvd at home, i will put it on tonight and get...

Thanks alot hun.

Will doing exercise help me lose more weight in addition to the weight loss acheived with the shakes????? And. What is a reasonable amount to do considering we are taking in fewer calories. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.... Nicola x

Thanks for the advice babs!

Thanx girls. I dont know what came over me. Im so annoyed with myself. Anyhow. Im sat here downing a bottle of water, hoping to clear my system out.lol. At least i know iv not totaly blown it.....

Right now im feeling like i should just give up now. I cant believe that after such a good week without cheating once, i get to my weigh day...(i lost 9lbs)....then i blow it all by cheating. I am so weak:cry::cry: This moment of weakness came whilst i was cooking dinner for my family, i just...

Thank you. I think the hardest thing for me has been still having to cook meals for my family. I have two boys aged 4 and 2 that still need me to do everything for them, my hubby dosnt mind too much helping himself if he has to. I very nearly dived into my younger sons pasta dish earlier. That...

Thanks for reminding me about peppermint tea, i havnt had any in the past few days, will have to get back on that one. Think i'll go put the kettle on now.....ummm

Im meant to be going to a party tonight, but iv opted to stay at home as i went to the cinemas yesterday and found it really difficult smelling all that lovely popcorn and nachos with cheese and not being able to indulge. It really is an unsociable diet....The results will be worth it though

You have all made me teary....i know im being silly, but the support for me is overwhelming. Thanks, i am so rearing to go now.........You should see the smile on my face....its huge!

If you only knew how that has made me feel. Thank you sooooooo much:jelous::jelous:. Thank you for replying so quickly too. I believe that i can do this, and i will succeed in reaching my goal weight. Its great knowing ther are people here to give support right when you really need it......Thanx...

Thank you all for your encouraging words:jelous:

Hya guys......... I am really starting to struggle with this diet now. Its been 4 days now since i started, and im seriously beginning to miss my food, and wander if i should just try to eat sensibly. I have got 7 stone to lose, but at this moment in time really wonder if the shakes are the...

Hey all. Im back again after quite some time. I have finally started to put some real effort into doing this diet after stopping and restarting previously, and basically just wasting alot of money....not good when you have two young children to look after. I got my first lot of shakes on Monday...

Thanks alot for all the advice. I cant wait to start now. My hubby is very supportive and is prepared to sort himself out when he has to, but from the sounds of it, i should be able to carry on as normal..(apart from eating that is)... Im all excited now.. Its great knowing that you are all here...

Hi there, returning lipotrimer here, with more weight to lose:cry:..I plan to start the shakes again on Monday as i have a busy weekend ahead, and dont want to mess up before ive even begun.....again:).. Right......I have a very young family who of course are totally dependent on me for food...

Hi Mike. Your right. Its definetly fear of the unknown and although i get butterflies just thinking about it....... its also a nice feeling too. Thinking that Im actually doing something about it, and not just wallowing in self pity anymore. I have 2 young children who keep me on my toes and...

Hi ducatidiva Just looked at some of ur piccies. You look gr8! Nicola x

Thank you. I intend to make every second count. I just keep on telling myself that the food will still be there when i reach my goal, and i am looking forward to eating alot more healthily than i have in the past. Think im going to start exercising next week. Im just going to give my body a...

Its just hit me. If i keep this up (which i will) im going to be slim. I dont think i can actually remember the last time i was slim. I actually just got butterflies in my tummy just thinking about it. Do you know. Ive been married nearly 2 years, and my husband has never seen me naked, as i...

Thanks for the replys everyone. This is my 3rd day and i am really pleased with myself. I love my food, and usually find it hard not to eat it. I am someone who dosent like to throw any food away, and even if im full will try to squeeze it in somehow, so this is a real achievement for me. Wow! I...

Thank you. I really feel alot better knowing im not the only one being naughty. :) Nicola

I know its a long way off, but i am really worried about having a really saggy tummy once iv lost all my weight. After having a c-section with my first son my tummy became very saggy, and has no muscle tone any more it just hangs there. Once i lose my excess weight will excersise help to lift it...

Thank you for clearing that up for me. Right its 100% shakes for me for the duration. Dont want to mess things up now as i really need to see some progress. Star....:D

Guys. I have heard that if you had a strong urge to eat something whilst on the Lipotrim shakes, then it would be ok to eat a small amount of meat and still be in ketosis. Is this correct or should i just disreguard this piece of information?:confused: Thanks

Hi thank you for the welcome. Two days in and still going strong, i think ill do alright on this diet. I must say though, i do find it hard having to cook for my husband and 2 boys, aged 3 and 1. It is just so tempting to pick a little. Think im going to have to stuff my nostrils with cotton...

Hi everyone. This is my first day of being on the Lipotrim programme, which i must say wasnt too bad. Hoping to get lots of support, tips and advice from all you budding dieters. Not sure how im going to feel by the end of the week, but come what may, i aim to lose this weight. The...
