Thanks for the input. Don't drink coffee, unfortunately, so no joy there. Might avoid the soups then. Not sure my local tescos has the bars as I can't see them online. Boo.

Hi, I might start exante in the next few days. Just booked a holiday for 10th July and need to do something!! I had previously done lipotrim for about 4 weeks about 3 years ago (just before going on holiday) and I was gutted when I had to come off it due to being spurred on by good results...

So pretty much stuck to it today I think (similar to yesterday but more). Breakfast - raw carrots (odd breakfast food, i know), scrambled egg, 2 quorn sausages (2 syns), mushrooms, 1 slice wholemeal bread with light spread of benecol (yuck). Lunch - Lovely red pepper, potato, carrot, tomato...

Hi, Not all diets are calorie controlled, atkins type diets certainly aren't. Not quite sure of the chemical reason why SW works, but all of the free foods unprocessed, low fat and low sugar, which is mostly likely a big part of it.

I keep fluctuating between the thoughts of joining a group and just getting the books off a friend or something. I don't do well motivating speeches etc. It's the cynic in me, lol.

lol, no... Not a veggie... Deffo not veggie. Just fancied trying the quorn sausages as they were on the sample menu. Not bad. Must try alpen light.

Oh I have to weigh myself daily when I'm trying to lose weight. Its the only thing that keeps me going. Fluctuations don't bother me. I haven't joined a group yet and I'm not sure I want to. You should try weighing yourself before and after going to the loo. Makes some difference! See, I've...

Thanks all. x

See, unfortunately, the 7 day plan doesn't explain the rules (day colour, syn limits or give details of hex etc). I do realise this is so they can make money, which is fair enough, but its kinda misleading. Guess I should join a group asap if I really want this to work. I would just join online...

There would have been milk in the eggs too.

So are eggs not considered meat? Any suggestion for healthy extra I could have now? I did have some milk in tea, but I NEVER finish a cup, so would doubt I had a whole cup today. Maybe only 1/2 cup of tea in total.

Hi, So 5.5 months post baby born and I've decided to shift the lard. I don't always stick to diets so wanted to trial sw before committing to it. I looked on their website and decided to try the look at the 7 day sample menu, but didn't realise it would potentially be switching between plans...

I'm starting to refeed tomorrow for my all-inclusive holiday to portugal next week (what is it with everyone going AI??!!). I know I probably will put on weight but I don't mind so much. It's what holidays are about, and I don't think i would enjoy it as much if I wasn't eating. Again, I...

Poor girl has such low self esteem. I have all the problems she does too, but don't mind that much. I'd say part of her problem is post natal depression?

Wow, you look fab. Congrats. It must be so amazing when you meet someone who hasn't seen you in ages and they tell you how great you look.

Yep, classy bird, me. It was a combination of taking fibre clear and totm i think. TMI i know. Still, better out than in, lol.

Just explain that this was your decision and it's something you feel you have to do. That normal diets just don't work because you have to eat something on them and the temptation to cheat is too high. It is for me anyway.

I've been on it nearly 3 weeks and in the middle of the night last night had a very near miss poo wise, lol.

I was loving celeb masterchef this last few weeks.

Lol. I go to the same pharmacy and also live in lurgan. Not from there originally though. Small world.

I realised that I probably wouldn't lose as much when it was coming up to my totm, but I barely lost 1.5lb this week. :sigh: Normally i put on a few lb before my TOTM, so i suppose losing anything is better than the opposite. Anyway, i was looking forward to feeling less bloated once it...

I work in Belfast, live in Co. Armagh but really am from Tyrone.

I blend mine with about 300mls of water and ice (when i can - can't do it in work). Then I put it in a nice glass (defo not plastic - can't stand plastic glasses for some reason) and drink it through a straw. I love it that way. Probably takes me up to 3 mins to drink it.

Where in Lurgan does it? It would be handier than the chemist I go to.

How much do you pay for your lipotrim? Mine is £44 a week for the shakes, but some people seem to pay more?

You could try a dryer dish that had just meat and v little coating or sauce and eat that just with no rice or nan/poppadoms. It shouldn't kick you out of ketosis.

I've had diet related dreams too, but not exactly directly related to food. Last week I was watching my hubby and toddler eating their dinner every day (after having cooked it) and I was just soooo jealous. This jealous feeling then moved into my dreams and I kept dreaming that hubby was...

I'm an idiot. My baby was born in 2009, not 2010, and so is much older than yours and is also not so much of a baby any more. :rolleyes:

Congrats!!! And yes, it's even more motivation for you to look super hot on your wedding day. Your little man is just gorgeous. I have a baby boy too, who is about 3 months older than yours. Best thing ever.

Glad the date went well. Sounds like it could be the start of something big! Him texting you straight after shows how smitten he is.

Respect is due. Well done.:)

Good luck for tonight!!

Do weight/inch/cellulite loss body wraps work? I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and would like any help possible, lol. :kissass:

lol, I've often wondered this too. It's kinda the same for hairdressers. It's a womans' occupation, but all the famous/best ones are men?! Sorry to sidetrack.

You could also ask your work to sub you until pay day.

No, I would advise you to put off doing the diet again until you have enough money to pay for it. You need the three shakes a day because they contain the nutrients you need to survive. It's not just about the low calories.

See that's the thing. I put on weight after meeting hubby (as you do), then lost it before the wedding, ate loads on honeymoon, then got pregnant really quickly and ate loads, lost the baby, ate to comfort myself, got pregnant again, ate, had baby, he was colicky, ate. 1 year and 7 months...

The hands on thing was a figure of speech, lol. More in a 'don't let go of him' kinda way. I think if you can chat to someone until 6am that it's a good sign. You obviously click in a big way. In relation to you both living different lives, yes that CAN be an issue at times but I married a...

Chiku - that's good to know, thanks. msblonde - I see what you are saying but I disagree that people who are a small-medium size 12 are unhealthy. The BMI says I would be healthy at 7.5 stone, yet I was told by so many people that I was far too thin when about 8st 2lb. I'm sure the bmi scale...

I am 5ft2 (and a 1/4) and am currently 11stone 13lb, which means my BMI is over 30, and so I'm obese. But I fit into a size 14 which i don't see as obese. I used to be a size 8, long time ago, but I'd like to be a 10-12 again (although I'd probably be happy enough losing a bit more now and...

Good luck on your date. I think a baked potato would be perfect (and so so so so so tasty). It sounds like you are about to get your hands on a good bloke. I know loads of couples who met online - a girl i work with is marrying her online bloke in October.

Were you eating a lot of sausages? They can contain carbs. And maybe your fat free dairy had fruits or sugar in them?

Yes, seeing the weight come off is a big bonus, but knowing that I'll not lose as quickly this week isn't good. I can't use the shaker because it never gets rid of the lumps completely and it makes me gag then. On the plus side, I'm REALLY enjoying the shakes at home these days because I've...

acornpink - each set of scales will weigh you differently. If you monitor yourself on the one set, you should notice a difference. I weigh myself every day because I need to. I want to give up every dinner time, and i think about it for the rest of the evening. When I wake up and weigh...

I started lipotrim last Friday with the intention of losing some weight before I go on hols on 4th Sept. :) I also have a cousin's wedding at the end of October that I'd like to fit into a 10-12 for again, but I also want to get pregnant again in the next few months (fingers crossed for...
