Good luck wobbly, i lost 6lb today and had a little cheat for the first time ever of doing this on sat night I had 6 vodka and diet cokes along with 2 sausages, 4 tiny chicken wings and a little bit of donner meat and chicken with lettuce. It was good and was really worried but completley over...

Hi, It will get better, I'am on day three but my B/F had egg and chips for tea, i mean chips on day 2 (bad man) I did Lipotirm for 6 weeks and took a break in September (party month) so back on it again, but i totally agress with lou1, I sniff everything, garlic baguette (had that for 2 days...

Hello and welcome Michelle. I'am back on lipotrim today after a months break (September). I weighed myself this morning and have only put on 4lb and i totally pigged out this last week, chocolate, crisps potatoes bread everything mwah, but all good things must come to an end. I'am setting...

Now thats sounds very yummy, mmmm :)

I know but i figured that, i could have 2 sausages or bacon for breakfast, soup for dinner and chicken and salad or 10g veg for tea and i'am still under my 20g for induction. or is that a bit bad?

I did a recky at tesco last night for a soup on the go, rather than making it (busy bee i am) and the best i could find is the Tesco (Brand Discount) just the same as normal but it is called Oaktree Estate Cream of Chicken Soup. It is a 400g tin and it contains 10g of carbs or 5g for half a...

Hi Jaynie, I did lipotrim for 6 weeks and currently do atkins at the weekend and lipotrim with an evening meal during the week (just during September, busy party month he he) and i've found that i have lost average 3-4lb a week doing this. I did stall last weekend has drank a gallon of Vodka...

Thats great thanks Zim, will nip to Aldi as havnt got a Lidl near by

Would anyone know where the best place to get chorizo? Or is it best over the counter at Tesco or Asda?

I tried sainsburys own unsmoked bacon and that was fine ;)

Hi peeps, I had 4 apple vodka's and pepsi max last night woo first drink in 6 weeks after doing lipotrim, but as doing a transition to Atkins. I checked my ketosis b4 going to bed and the result was completely nude no purple :( but checked this morning about 10:45 and in the deep purple...

So what about vodka, no carbs and pepsi max considering it for a little treat tonight ;)

Hi cinta, thanks for that I'll rush out and get some :) any other bacon ideas?

Hi peeps, I wanted to ask about bacon, I've spent the last 2hrs in tesco and sainsburys and i'am really stuck, I'am really struggling to find bacon without any sodium nitrate and/or potassium nitrate, which after looking in the Atkins book says stay away from added nitrates. So confused :?/ can...

Brill, thanks setanti. Is that the one on Ancoats Road or Deansgate. I live locally as well. I think Brazillian sounds the best and it is a special occasion so (i'am worth it) lol in the words of L'Oreal. couldnt find anything on tapas, but i think common sense is the best with that one and...

Oh wow, thanks Jim for the link (super fantastic) and thanks missy for the full carb counter. I've looked at the atkins book and i'am unsure about prawns and shrimps they are the same but not, eeek so confused (mind it doesnt take much lol). I'll let you know what i go for. Ive just been told...

Hi everyone, :wave_cry: I think it would be fun to put down what we eat when eating out or takeaway help each other. I'am really new to this but would really love some advice. Its my birthday next week and i'am being given the choice of indian or tapas. Now i think tapas would be better...

Thanks for that, so I take it that I basically just look on the tin of chicken soup (for instance) and look for (carbs of which sugars) rather than just all the carbs in the the tin? I also wanted to ask about beetroot (love it) and pulled some up fresh today, but no where can I see it in...

Hi People, I've done loads of research on atkins and I'am going ot move over to it next Friday, but keep the maintenace lipotrim shakes for breakfast and dinner, hopefully that should keep me in ketosis. I will keep all updates though, i can drink vodka and diet coke as well yeah yeah yeah...

Hi Susie, Thanks so much for your help and advice, and you did really really well. I just thought that i like frying mushrooms & onions in butter but love grilled sausages and fish and i believe the anchor low salt one is the best (i think anyway). I wanted to ask people about sauces and...

Hi everyone, you are all doing really well. I thought i would join this thread as i'am going to be a newbie soonish. I'am on Lipotrim at the moment (5weeks to be exact), but have one week left. I have a very heavy September in front of me, with loads of family do's and birthdays. Ive been...

It's a shame, but you never know :)

Hi everyone, Lucy you can take Nurofen or plain old paracetamol, it didnt affect my ketosis at all. I had my weigh in this morning and lost a whooping 9lb woooooooo hoooooooooo, well chuffed. Iam in week five now and cant believe i will have lost 2 stone in 6 weeks, its amazing. you newbies...

Hi Chiku, if you carry out non strenous exercise you shouldnt have excess skin, anything that complements your arthritis. I wouldnt worry to much untill something crops up or happens, you will only make yourself ill with worry and being hungry to start with is part of the process as your body...

Hi Chiku, I've not heard of anyone snapping so early on (within a couple of hours). It might be your body craving caffiene possible, but everyone is different. Mood swings are a side effect but mine are ususally feeling a little down or high as a kite but never angry. Again we all cope...

Thanks for your support people. Ive got two weeks left till i start eating again. I'am having a months break in September and then back on the Lipotrim from the 4th October for 8 weeks. Feeling confident i can keep the weight off or at least put no more on, dont even want to eat rubbish...

Hi everyone hope you feeling well and motivated this morning, i lost 5lb last night yay, but it was weird as i went to the doctors this morning and weighed myself again and it showed i had actually lost 9lb, super weird. lol

Thanks for that, i lost 5lb last night yay, but it was weird as i went to the doctors this morning and showed i had actually lost 9lb, super weird. lol

I would say its fine as it was 12 years ago, but I'am not a trained medical person. Why dont you try it for 6 weeks and if your dont like it come off. the aim os to shrink your stomach as well as lose weight so your body will have healed itself. the person your describing could have losts of...

Where has everybody gone????, Ive got my 3rd weigh in todat fingers crossed

Keep up the good work. I'am the same size and height as you yummymuumy, but never weighed myself when i was a size 12. I cant believe you hold off so long size10 with having your shakes. I've been having sneeky weigh in at home and it looks like I'am losing a pound a day finger's crossed. I...

I know exactly how you feel, whenever i get a hunger pain i take a big gulp of water. I carry my 2 litre bottle everywhere, so i know i'am getting through it. My days drag at work so much and it is hard at first. I dont know how you can only have your second shake at tea time!! My stomach...

Hi ladies, your all doing really well. I'am coming to the end of week 3. For me it was day 5 and 6 that were the worst. I just mean no energy, tired and tearful. Ive only had 2 headaches in the whole time but quickly banished them with a paracetamol. I didnt do any exercise the first week...

Had my weigh in last night and ive only lost 2lb but het it is int he right direction so 5lb a week isnt bad. The women at the pharmacy asked if i had been cheating " how very dare she!!!" so we have put it down to water retension and totm last week. If i dont lose a bit more next week we...

Hi peeps, hope everyone is doing well. Ive got my second weigh in this afternoon eeekk. I wonder how Will got on? (I'am sure his weighin is monday mornings) Flipper - I've used nurofen plus once and that didnt affect my ketosis and thankfully my totm gave up after a week, woop woop.

Hi Will, Please dont give up. I bought a cheap hand blender from asda £5 or something like that (cheaper than the shaker, i think). I put my 2 cups of chilled water (from a bottle that ive used and topped up with tap water) in a jug and then add my shake i blend it for 30/40 secs and then...

i completley agree Siobhi, its FRIDAY yay!! Welcome Sayomi - i think if it isnt bothering you then thats a good thing, you want to keep it that way. Hopefully ur weigh will be good and it will be a breeze how much do you have to lose? Ive got real hunger pangs today, tummy is like a washing...

Hi DevonBB welcome to enlightenment and the path to eternal slimness lol. Keep at and as as you can see from all of us, there are good and bad days. Hey 2 sizes, i only started exercising this week, but so far done Mon - 1 hour on the exercise bike, Tues really couldn't be bothered and not...

Hope you feel better as the day goes on Siobhi, but lb lose is brilliant, your doing so incredible well. Iam gald your feeling better today Will, back rub is definetly what we all need i think lol. I still feel vacant today. I'am here but cant muster up and energy or enthusiasm (its weird)...

Thanks fatbusterforver and little flower and all of you. Were all gonna do really well cause like i say to all my friends (Nike, L'Oreal) Just Do It, Because Your Worth It. Will i took a super nurofen and i'am in ketosis, so that would be ok. But i dont think you should be getting...

Thanxs for that Siobhi, appreciate your words of wisdom. Fingers, legs and eyes crossed, lol. :)

Good luck for this morning Will. Haope everyone had a fab weekend. Glad you enjoyed the wedding Siobhi (even without breaking) thats is committed. Friday evening was weird wasnt my TOTM but my body decided it was hmmmm (and on the pill??). I had a sneeky weigh in on Sat morning guess...

Thanks exiguous and little flower, littleflower is you 1st weigh in Monday as well?

Oh that doesnt sound good Will, i know what you mean about the mood thing, just dont feel upbeat at all. Hopefully by weigh in day on Monday you will be ok. I thought that day 2&3 wernt too bad compared to my day and sounds like your day. Keep ya chin up we can get through this. I found...

Sorry i'am not on hear regularly, i come on whilst i'am at work but i think the connection is dodgy, so i dont mean to come across as being rude, or ignoring anyway. I'am behind all of you 100% we are doing so very well. Thank you so very much for the recipes exiguous (you are a star, hope the...

ooo sounds good, how do you do that exiguous :)

Hi everyone, I 'am not doing to bad, still have the odd hunger pang and not really had any headaches since day 1, but feeling a little light headed now and again. My will power is at a maximum i think after my boyfriend cooking steak and chips, watching masterchef and then QI (subject) food...

weird, i wrote a big update from last night. You will have to tell me your chicken soup experience mine is definetly not one to be repeated, nasty stuff

I'am not sure if you'll get this but everytime i post something it has to go to an administrator does anyone else get that??

Hi Peeps, Back online. Your all doing really well. I started to suffer with dull headaches last night and tried the chicken soup. Oh dear lord it was soo nasty, i really struggled to keep it down, even thinking about it now makes me wretch. Had a good nights sleep apart from the power...

Hey peeps, look what i found, Battery Whisk Mixer - Coffee Creations, Coffee Beans, Filter Coffee, Monin Syrups, Loose Leaf Tea, UK click the link. I put in coffee whisk and it came up with ones on ebay and this. Top banana. Going for the second shake now - chocolate! :)

Thats great thank you, Ive just been told about a little blender you use for coffee or baileys or something like that - will investigate (not a coffee drinker) which is a real bummer as you can mix coffee with everything :confused: Would you say to add the water to the powder little by little...

Hi Peeps, I started "The Programme" this morning. I had a Strawberry shake at 9.30am - but i think i mixed it wrong because it was lumpy. I'am due my next shake at 2pmish and wanted to ask the best advise for making the shakes at work or out (without a blender). My stomach will not stop...
