Hiya well i had a pretty bad weekend to be honest. i ATE ALL WEEKEND!!! GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i am fully back on it now. But i think i am going to use up what shakes i have left and speak to the pharmacist this week about other options. In other...

i dont know if i can do it girls. this high/low is not good for me and im not sure if i was always like this and the diet is emphasising it , or if the diet is making me like this. was working for a few hours this morning so i couldnt think about food but then on teh way home in the car all i...

ooooppps im so sorry i said a bad word and i didnt realise that the forum automatically puts stars to blank it out!! apologies!!xx

:( I go from so high to so low these days and that really worries me. i think i am going to have to start taking the anti-depressants. I ordered last night. i ate half of it and then went and made myself sick. :( i am pathetic really. I then went to bed and cried for hours about how crap this...

i am sooooooooooo craving a chinese.... i am 3 seconds from dialling and ordering for delivery... .HELP!

2 of my friends did maintenance last year and the girl lost an average of 2-3 lbs a week and her hubby lost more but he was heavier. once a week they had a "treat" night where they just had a total blow out and enjoyed whatever they wanted. they have both kept the weight off. she lost about 2.5...

honk for day 18!!!

yes i agree with all the other posts, try to look at the bigger picture and not as a week but what you have lost over 4 weeks. i was disheartened last week at only losing 2lb but it was still TOTM and then this week i lost 6lbs!! i bet you have a HUGE loss waiting for you next week!! get that...

WEll done what a fab result for your first week especially when it was such a hard one for you!!!!! good girl and yes you are right the feeling you get is better than food tastes!!!! xxxx

see i am not exercising every day but i def notice the days after the days that i do exercise, i am definitely more hungry. it seems it would be logic that if your body is in ketosis then the energy for exercise is coming from the stored fat in your body, however if that is the case then i do...

see im not sure how it all works with the ketosis etc as well... if our bodies are in a fat burning state then surely our calories for exercise are coming directly from our fat stores i think. so either way whether you do weights or cardio you will tone up because you are burning fat...i think !!!

Hi Sandra, of course you can ask me PT stuff i have been out of the game for 2years now and stuff is always changing but anyhting i am not sure about i can do my best to find out, or i can ask my personal trainer. He is fab and full of knowledge. You say you do an hours cardio...I take it the...

HUGE HUGE CONGRATS Emma on reaching 3 mini goals in one week. you are HUGE (skinny LOL) inspiration to me and i cant wait to get where you are. well done on your determination and perseverance xx

Jayne be careful. I used to teach bodypump back in my fitness days and i found it required so much energy (But then i DID lift HEAVY weights as i was superfit then).. i found i needed so much more carbs in me to sustain my energy for teaching it. i had been thinking about doing it again as i...

I know i shouldnt be but i have been weighing myself most days this week. according to my scales i am down about 6 pounds from last friday. So i hope that by tomorrow i have a good loss at the pharmacy. however i always weigh myself at home naked and by the time i get to the pharmacy im 2lb...

well done you, you have done great and you will continue to do great i wish you the best of luck for your refeed. need pics of you before and pics on the 30th birthday!!!!

well i am feeling a little better today and feeling more positive about the diet. however the situation has not been resolved. (of course its man related, but not the ex) thanks everyone for your kind words of support. i know ive only been on the diet just 3 weeks but i dont think i could...

Well done!!! xx

Hiya, well i am feeling a bit better now and im pleased to say i didnt comfort eat. probably cos i am slightly hungover too i didnt feel like eating and have drank loads of water and had my three shakes. still feel crap about the actual situation but have to get on and keep going! going to...

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont want to go into too much detail but something happened last night that i drank a bottle of wine. after that, something else happened that has really upset and pissed me off today. i just want to comfort eat but i am resisting so far. I was at the shop and saw...

Hi emma yes he knows im on it. He didnt agree with it at the start but he said if it was something i really felt i needed to do then he would support me and set our workouts according to my energy levels.

dont be disheartened its still a loss. it probably will be more next week. But yeah i know what you mean its torture for only 2lbs a week!!! I only lost 2lbs last week and that was monday-friday. this week i am only really sunday-friday so it might only be a few pounds again. Keep up the good...

i am deffo determined from now on to stick to this 100% no cheating. i have no events coming up now so thats it, no excuse. i say this because, last night i was rushing around the house getting housework done, ex was bringing the baby home after having him all weekend, my head was totally...

wow you have good friends. some of mine have been very judgemental about this diet!!! i enjoyed reading that post. you are doing so well Jayne. for me this diet is about learning not to turn to food for comfort because im quite simply not allowed to eat. it def is working and teaching me that i...

hiya well i am doing well and back on track. only thing is i fancy some wine but im not going to succumb!!!! i did feel all day yesterday like i had a hangover however :( it was not nice, even tho i didnt drink on friday night it was a food hangover!!!!!

well i went last night and i ate the meal. i couldnt manage it tho it was sooo much!! my stomach has shrank i guess and it was too rich. i didnt finish any of the courses. but it was nice to eat. but today i feel dehydrated, lethargic and bloated. i know in lipotrim you feel hungry and crave...

Afternoon all. Well i went to the pharmacy today to be weighed and i lost a further 2lb. not bad i suppose for 4 days. I am hoping for a big loss next friday cos then it will be a full week on it again and my period will be completely gone too. So i hit my goal of 10lbs by 17th sept :D Only...

Well done Emma, still loving reading your diary xx

I havent been online in a few days as i have been busy with work. I have been doing good, still sticking to it but been finding the last few days quite hard and that is probably because i ate on sunday evening it has probably increased my cravings.. but not to worry, i just keep thinking...

Hi Jayne, thanks for your post :) interesting to read about your depression. this is one thing that concerns me. my mother infact this week forced me to make a doctors appointment to see about depression. when my baby was 8 weeks old the health visitor did a standard questionnaire to check...

Hi Jayne I have started a proper diary in the weight loss diarys section. its all in there :) I agree with everything you are saying. it does feel good to not feel guilty about having eaten badly. it does feel good to not feel bloated. i feel thinner already and i can notice in the mirror...

Hi Aine. your birthday is a day after mine, i am the 4th!! and i havent really decided what to do yet regarding it. Its not that far away really and i will only have been on the diet roughly 8 weeks. I always make a big deal of my birthday but i think this year i would rather stick to TFR so...

Thanks Sandra B xx

well done on your weight loss!!! you are doing very well keep up the hard work xx

WOW! you are looking fab in that pic!!!!!!! I had a personal training session last night and it was quite hard. at one point i did have to stop as i felt a bit dizzy but i rested and was able to continue the session. i am going swimming later too. i dont know if its too soon on the diet to be...

Draw a line in the sand and get over it and move forward. we are human, we all have times of weakness!! I havent been on the diet long enough to know what effect this will have on your loss this week but wait and see how your weigh in goes anyway. Get back on track and dont feel guilty about it...

Emma how do you find your energy levels with going to the gym??

Have enjoyed reading your diary so far Jayne :D Keep up the good work you are doing GREAT!! xx

Hi everyone. Well i have already done a few posts so far on how my Lipotrim journey is going. I joined the site about 3 weeks ago when i was on holiday so i did an introduction thread here: http://www.minimins.com/introductions/164798-hello-newbie.html hope the link works. So i am going to...

at least you still lost!! even tho it was only 2lb its still a loss :) well done you on your determination to stick to it while on holiday!!! xx

For me i have already decided that whether or not i am at goal, i plan to enjoy christmas and get straight back on the wagon on Jan 1st. I just LOVE everything about Christmas food and every year it is a total pig out fest. i just love it. So i know that there is no way i would be able to enjoy...

well done sam on your fantastic weight loss in week one!!!!! i hope that you continue to do well xx

Amazing results well done i love reading posts like this as it really motivates me to keep going!! i am only on day 4 so i have a long way to go but time flies in and hopefully soon i will be where you are :)

My PT session went good, it was hard work, but mainly because i have not done any proper training since before i got pregnant, which is almost 18 months ago, so it was hard from that aspect rather than from feeling like i didnt have the energy. i actually feel great now!!! yes i was still...

I think i am in Ketosis now as i woke up this morning with a rank taste in my mouth and i dont feel hungry!! had my shake so far and a pint of water but feeling ok. I have a personal training session tonight so i hope i can handle it! but my PT knows that im on this diet so he said he'd go easy...

i have no idea just what the pharmacist told me. i guess because maybe there is sugar in other ones?? but true its not as if you swallow it!! i dont know really. but i wouldnt worry about it then if you are in ketosis and losing weight!!

Jayne be careful because my pharmacist told me you are not allowed to use throat spray only Listerine Strips or Listerine ORIGINAL mouthwash (which tastes rank!!) Yeah i am glad to be going back to work to be honest i love my little one but he is a handful and i couldnt handle being a full time...

Hi and welcome!! I am in my first week too! I am on day 3 and so far haven't had headaches I think the water helps I have been drinking 4 litres. I do feel more tired today tho. I personally don't mind the shakes but then back when I was slimmer and fitter I used to do alot of weight training...

No i havent tested as i havent bought the Kesosticks!!! But i will get some of those and some of the breath strips asap! I know what you mean about work, i have been off on maternity leave for 9 months and that, among other things is why i have been struggling with my weight. all i have been...

Hi Jayne i just started on MOnday so i am on day 3. the water def helps with the hunger. i have been drinking 4 litres a day. and i wont say im not hungry, cos i am, but it def takes the edge off lol!!

WELL DONE!!!!! so exciting to read all these fab weight losses!!!! i am hoping for that loss in my first week too!!! xxx

Hiya Jayne and welcome. I am on day 3 now and surprised at how ok I feel. Yes im a bit hungry but apart from that I feel ok. It's a mental thing too and it's weird getting my head round not just going automatically to the fridge out of habit Or boredom. I was on A training course yesterday and...

wow just looking at your signature Niamh and you lost 5 stone in 12 weeks??? thats crazy!! i would love to have 5 stone off by Christmas but i was wondering how realistic it was within that time frame. it would be amazing if i could. xx

Welcome Big Mo and good luck with your weight loss journey! i have just started today so i have just finished day one!!! we can motivate each other on!!! All the best!! xx

i have drank about 4.5 litres of water!!!! i do feel ok actually just a bit hungry. i was having thoughts earlier, "i dont know if i can do this, i need to eat" etc but then i went to change into my pyjamas and caught sight of myself in the mirror and it spurred me to keep going. i cant give...

Well i am def doing this for me and not for him!! Altho i think up until now i wasnt doing it for me i was doing for others and therefore thats why i wasnt able to stick to a plan. although yes the shock on his face will be an added bonus!!! But i am not doing it for him. we will not be getting...

Hi there thank you that does help but i guess i am just scared. because really since march of this year i have been going through ups and downs of starting diets/starting the gym again and usually last a few weeks and then something happens that triggers me back into my old ways again. i am...

the more i am here on holiday and have time to think about it, the more i am talking myself out of it. well, not talking myself out of it, but just wondering if i can do it. i know i NEED to do it and I know It works but i hope that i am strong enough to do it!!!! i am worried i'm going to find...

Hi everyone I will be starting Lipotrim TFR on 1st september when i return home from holidays in Spain. I want to mentally prepare myself for it while i am here. i am staying at my sisters apartment and she eats really healthy so i have cut way down on my calorie intake in order to try to...

Hi Emma. I have really enjoyed reading your weight loss diary. It has really motivated me so much!!!!! well done on your fantastic loss!! you sound so happy!!!! Megan xx

Well done!! fantastic result!!! this site is so motivating!

I am starting Lipotrim TFR on 2nd September as i am away on holiday at the minute but the second i get back i am going straight to the pharmacy to get sorted :D my lowest weight in the past has been 10.5 stone, about 150 pounds i think, and i was happy at that weight a size 12. So i would like...

Hey katie... welcome! i am new here just joined this evening too. i am in northern ireland too, ballymena :D all the best with your weight loss journey xx

Hi there. I return home from holiday on the 1st september so i am going to go as soon as possible when i get home to the pharmacy to get started. while i am here in spain i am hoping i will get a bit of a kick start as my sister eats super healthy, we are not eating out, she has no junk food in...

very low body fat percentage can cause your periods to stop, so if you have lost a lot of weight and are over - exercising then its possible that the 2 are related. xx

To be honest at your weight i would start off just walking. When you run, you pound down with up to 7 times your body weight. so that impact is going through your knee and hip joints. at the moment you may only feel it in your shins but if you continue, eventually you will aggravate your knees...

Welcome Tabi! i know you posted on my thread so i am welcoming you too. Together we will do this :D

Hiya, thank you for your kind reply. I should add tho, that i am not starting it until the 1st September as i am actually on holiday visiting my sister in spain for 2 weeks at the moment. i am hoping that 2 weeks here will kick start me a bit however as she is eating really healthy and we are...
