I had a bit of a wobbler yesterday! Really really wanted some chocolate. Spent most of the evening being seriously grumpy and ended up falling asleep on the couch in a huff. Woke up this morning still on the couch haha! So glad I didn't have the chocolate because today I weighed in at 17st...

No I wouldn't say DP's come up big but tbh I wouldn't really know lol haven't shopped in there for about 12 years! All I know is I tried on a pair of jeans in there size 20 a few weeks ago and although they did up at the waist, there was not a chance they fitted, so tight in the legs! Either...

OMG I am sooo happy for you I could cry!! 16 in Dotty P's that is amazing chick! Honestly so so proud of you, look at how far you've come. You are so going to get to your goal in no time :D :D :D You look fab too! Can't wait till I get into a normal size too! :) Well done, huge pat on the back! xx

100% yesterday woohoo! I'm going to change my official weigh in day to Tuesday as I restarted last Tues... so today I am 17st 12lbs which I am quite pleased with considering how much I've messed around this past week. My next mini goal is to get through until next Tues 100%. I've done it before...

How are you doing today Claire? I'm back on the 100% train baby! Are you jumping on? lol

Hey Muffy, Re: the jalapeno's... I seem to remember staying clear of them when on LT the last time because they contain citric acid. I doubt very much that a couple of pepper will do much damage but maybe something to think about? Also, be careful with the meals if you decide to have the...

Sorry guys was really busy working this weekend, it's not been great diet wise but its not been that bad either. I haven't been 100% but I have been sensible-ish with my food choices except Saturday when I was out with 2 of my service users at the cinema... I ate sweets! :O Anyway, today I am...

You sound like you're buzzing at the moment chick, and so you should!! Look at what you've achieved in such a short time :D :D long may it last!! Have you told more people what you're doing now? Surely they must all be noticing your weight loss?! Hope you have a great day xx

Well day 3 of restart today... I kind of feel like I'm cheating, because well, I am! I had something low carb again for tea last night instead of a shake. I'm finding it a bit harder to get into the swing of TFR again this time round because I am telling myself that I can eat a dinner and still...

Beautiful East Devon :)

Pudgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hope you got your thesis and essay in on time? Are you free to concentrate on YOU now? How are you getting on? Hope you're well xx

How are you doing today, Claire? 100% I hope!? ;) Don't make me do "a Sandra" on you! lol Sorry Sandra (don't hurt me!!) ;) Will catch up on your story after my Soprano's a la couch session - so much has been happening - it's too much for my poor pre-ketosis head! Sending good vibes as always...

God loves a trier eh Claire!? haha! Come on girly, you could have a stone off before your hen! Just starting to feel the start of the ketosis headaches :( I'm off work today so I'm going to take my sorry self off the the couch with a pillow, my slanket (ha!) and watch my Soprano's box set! I...

Fab diary Leluna! Really interesting and motivational! I'm just starting back on LT after losing 2stone in 6 weeks and then going on to putting half a stone back on (in 5 weeks) grrr! Reading your diary has reminded me how good it feels to see that weight coming off :D xx

Thanks ladies :D well I weighed in this morning and can't believe I'm down to 18st 0.5lbs already! I know its all water etc cos it's only been a day but it still feels good to know that I will be back into the 17's this week. Got a bit of my determination back, going to go for a 100% day...

Morning Muffy, Is it your scales that give you that info? What scales do you have? I fancy a set myself... quite interesting info!! I like how your body fat has gone down and muscle has increased and its nice to see the changes in only 1 week :D What dress size are you slipping into now? xxx

Cherry! Where are you?

ooh also, does anyone know the answer to this?? Hubby has a stash of LT he won't be using (Male LT obviously!) Would I be able to substitute half a male shake for a female shake? I was kind of hoping I could have 1 and a half male shakes instead of 3 female?? What do you think? xx

I'm baaaaack! lol well kind of! Tail between the legs, I can't do any kind of diet! It's all or nothing lol Had my first LT shake in 5 weeks today, I am going to ease myself in this week. Skipped breakie this morning (oops) but managed a shake at lunchtime and had a chicken salad for dinner...

Oh God! Nightmare day for you! Gotta be better tomorrow, surely! I just got in about 9pm... stupid meetings, had one this morning too... Tuesday is supposed to me my day for working in the shop, luckily Serge let me away early today so I could get an hour or so's peace! I've got about a couple...

Hey Muffy :) Just off out the door, have Facebooked you but wanted to get my subscription in on your new diary! Still immensely proud of you!!! :D I'll be back on track very soon, just getting my head in gear! PS how are your new washing machine and t dryer? lol xxxxxx

Hiiiiiii :) Might be back with my tail between my legs next week, haha! :D I've put on 4lbs since coming off LT :O I've said a lot of this to you on FB but I am so so so proud of you! Just look at those pics, what a difference. Must come on here more often! xx

Aww hi Cherry, are you on Facebook? Add me, my page is over there next to my photo. I see you've been on my diary so you'll know I came off LT a few weeks ago, have put on 4lbs so its not so bad but I am thinking of re-doing TFR in the form of either LT or Exante, would be great to have your...

Hey Muffy, still doing great I see :) I'm still weighing in every day but it's always a disappointment when you're not on LT!! Haven't gone under my LT weight yet and it's been nearly 2 weeks. Will catch up with you properly on FB... still proud of you! :D xx

Help with PP allowance please? Hi :) I'm just starting back with ww after losing 2 stone with Lipotrim. I've dabbled a bit with low carbing but floundered a bit because I couldn't work out the carbs of everything lol So here I am back to my old faithful ww. I like the sound of ProPoints...

Thanks guys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry guys... I'm jumping ship! 6 weeks of LT has taken its toll and I'm going to take advantage of my ketosis by low carbing. Started last night and so far so good, read a REALLY interesting article & have done my research and it has changed my outlook completely. I'm not saying I'll never do...

3lbs off for me this week xx Trose -8-10lbs (-3lbs) Karazykat07 14lbs (-10, 4lb to go) PaulaJ - 12lbs (-9.5, 2.5 to go) Shaz1980 - 12lbs (-4lb, 8lb to go) Yeye - 14lbs (-3lbs, -6lbs 5lbs to go) Foo Fan - 12lbs (-8, 4lbs to go) Mirjam - 10lbs x__lis__x - 14lb (-13lb, 1lb to go)...

Hehe we could all shake together! Weigh in day today, down to 17st 10lbs exactly so got my 2 stone off :D and 3lbs off for the week! Just going to update my stats and sig then off to work :sigh: Hope you all have a spiffing day!! x

I noticed that too Curvy! I'm an incomer though... not proper Deb'n! Bit of a nomad actually, grew up in Essex and lived in Scotland for 17 years. Been down here for 4 years now... almost time to move on haha! Your stats are quite similar to mine, good luck! How long are you planning on doing...

I'm OK today, no dizzy spells. I think it must have been the codeine (Sandra - I'm on 30mg/500mg Co-codamol) Weighed in at 17st 10.6lbs today so am hoping the 0.6lbs will be gone tomorrow so I can hit the 2st off mark, if I don't then I know I will in the next few days anyway. Hope you're all...

Proud of you xx

Honk! xx

In response to Sandra, I am very much hoping that losing weight will help my back, it was one of the main motivations this time but I'm really not sure because I know plenty of thin people with slipped discs! I have got over the excruciating stage and just really nasty sciatica now and then...

Thanks for your support Su, I know what you're saying is right! 2 stone is more than I have ever lost and to be 1lb away from it on week 6 day 5 is amazing. Fingers crossed for at least another 1lb off on Thurs! My hubby always had a problem with heartburn anyway but only when he ate really...

Hey, I'm still here. Been 100% all week, haven't been on much because I'm finding Minimins hard going at the moment. I'm just going to keep honking and occasionally update this if that's OK. Getting a bit annoyed this week, my weight loss seems to have slowed down quite a bit. I'm down to 17st...

Honk for day 39! :D

Just wanted to note that today I finally made it into the 17st bracket! 17st 13.8lbs to be exact but it still feels good to get there! Official weigh in tomorrow, I hope I lose a bit more overnight :D Off to work for a 9 hour day again... roll on 24th Feb for my next day off!

Honk! :)

Miss you Cherry! Hope you're getting on OK? :D

yeah.... eugh! Don't mess with the shakes, don't bother with the choc shake "muffin" either! Just whizz em up and drink em down lol Finding the evenings hard myself at the moment, chin up and definitely focus on that dress. I can't wait to see some pics of you looking stunning in it - and...

Eeeeek!! Exciting stuff! :D:D I reckon you COULD lose 35lb in 10 weeks but you don't have much left to lose really so might be a bit slower. Of course you're going to do it! When's your next weigh in? xxx

I love Biggest Loser too! Glad they got back to good weight losses this week :D Feels nice when clothes are baggy! I've only got one pair of jeans that fit me at the moment and they were just out of the washing on Sunday so still wet! I needed to find something else to wear... I tried on half a...

Moooooooooooo!!!!! lol I'm 18st 0.2lbs! Grrrrrrr Seriously though, WELL DONE! Bet you feel great! :D:D:D:D What are you up to today? xx

ahhh... you did? You know the story, get back on and forget all about it! We'll get there! Interesting info about ketosis, I just don't want to come out of ketosis cos I struggled getting there! I'm learning so much about how our bodies work on this diet!! Here's to tomorrow, chin up xxxxx

What can I say? My family own a wine shop!! Have to try out the stock... :D

Just noticed you posted this 1 day ago... how are you feeling today? x

I quite often feel really weak on LT but I know it's because I don't have my shakes at regular intervals. I've got a bad habit of not "eating" in the mornings and end up having 2 shakes within an hour of each other in the evening. I would see how you feel after today before starting to panic xx

Good luck! xx

I weigh every morning after a pee! It's the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning. Since being on LT, I can't remember them ever going up by more than 0.5lbs but I take no notice of the "gains" because it really could be down to anything and I know it'll be down again the next day. I...

I'm a bit worried about loose skin too but like most people say - I WOULD rather be slim and in control of my eating, I figure I can always tuck my extra skin in pmsl! I'm not looking to have a bikini body just want to feel more comfortable in my own skin (pardon the pun) I've seen people in...

Well done yourself for doing this! One day soon, you'll be the inspiration for others... don't let us down lol! Good luck! xx

Well done Chuck, you're doing fantastically well! Keep it up xx

Good luck!!! :D

yeah I saw that! It was shocking how little they lost considering how hard they'd worked. I was a bit annoyed when the trainers said that it must be down to the foods they were eating?? Sometimes we all just have weeks were our losses are low. Thank God for LT is all I'm saying! :D

That sounds good! You suit being blonde! Look forward to seeing some new hairdo pics on FB. I'm thinking about a manicure but have always been disappointed in the past, feel like I could do it just as well myself lol! I've never been for a facial, might try that or a neck and shoulder massage...

Thanks Claire, it means a lot coming from you because I know how you've struggled with food recently too!! xx Still in ketosis... pee'd on stick! Phew! Didn't have my last shake. Feel strong today and am down to 18st 1lb... Have not been here in years! Determined to be 100% today - no...

posting at the same time!! Well done!!! Not gonna let you beat me grrrrr lol What are you going to treat yourself with? I need some non food inspiration! xx

Hey hun, how did your weigh in go this morning? I'm down 0.5lb so 18st1lbs today... 1 to go!! I'm sure you've read about my tuna salad blip yesterday... :( back to 100% today, luckily still in ketosis - feel strong enough to do it today! Off to work in about an hour to cook some yucky(!) roast...

Welllll..... I've been good but also slightly naughty... I ate a tuna salad for tea! Made sure there was nothing in there that could take me out of ketosis - mainly tuna - should I skip my last shake? I feel better for having eaten but I'm scared of the slippery slope now. Hubby was sitting...

Great news Jayne, I think we've all had enough a bit at the moment. Just gotta get through those "moments" (feels like bloody weeks, not hours!) and make it through to the other side in one piece! You are so right... TFR is emotional! Here's to another day of 100% xx

THE SOUP MAKES ME GAG!!! lol

woohoo! I've got 1.5lbs to get into the 17's... race ya! xx

grumble grumble... begrudgingly... "honk!"

Glad you've got your groove back on! I'm not coping well again today, still having the thoughts about having a break, need to snap out of it! I'm really bored... can't eat, can't drink, don't have any money to spend & feeling sorry for myself, boohoo!! I know there's more to life than all of...

Oh Mirjam, I feel for you!! Have had bouts of constipation myself on LT but OMG when I was on full dose of codeine before Christmas I was nearly at the hospital stage! I tried everything... horrific! Glad you've got got through it, are you taking any fibre supplements? xx

Good luck Cherry! Be good!!!!! xx

Trose -8-10lbs Karazykat07 14lbs PaulaJ - 12lbs (-3, 9 to go) Shaz1980 - 12lbs Yeye - 14lbs Foo Fan - 12lbs Mirjam - 10lbs x__lis__x - 14lb (4 down, 10 to go) Mousey81 - lose 19lb (target of 14st 7lb) natalieann - lose 10lbs MrsMoose -14lbs so so hopefull -10lb funky -10lbs this month to strut...

yeah I get a kind of furry/sticky feeling on my back teeth, have to brush after every shake... I can't bear it!

honk!

yeah... I know Sandra... :sigh: lol Just took my measurements a week early and the results are good: Waist - 2.5 inches off Fullest part of bust - 5 inches off :D:D Hips (& around my belly overhang) - 3 inches off top of right arm - sts Top of right thigh - +3inches?! (must have measured...

Woohooo! You're back! Great to hear that you're still with us and not fallen off the wagon :D Keep it up, could do with some of your enthusiasm tonight... we've missed ya! xx

hmmmm.... how can we get that frame of mind back? Having a sh!tty day myself but haven't caved... yet! Seriously thinking about having a break until next week when hubby starts LT. When I say break, I mean 2 shakes and a low carb meal, but don't want to say anything to put you off getting back...

Having alcohol on LT is a very bad idea... I suggest doing a Google search for "alcohol on lipotrim" and you'll see why. xx

If you try the "muffin" I can guarantee you won't do it again... gag! I can still taste it 3 weeks on! I just get the shakes down me, every time I fiddle about with them it's really disgusting lol Hope you feel a bit better soon, took me about a week to feel a bit more normal xx

LOVE Lakeland! Wish I had a reason to go in there at the mo... hmmm there's always the washing stuff? nah! Been a busy day, have clocked up an extra 2 hours with one of my SU's (Service User's) so I'm hoping to be able to finish a little early with him a couple of days next week. I've got a...

Hey Muffy, don't worry about it... we're all busy! Painted my nails black lol not sure if I like them but I'll see how I got today, I also bought a really dark purple colour - I don't think my nails are long enough to pull these colours off quite yet but working on it! :D I weighed in today...

Well done Mirjam! Keep it up xx

Well done Ailish! xx

Just fixing the list as per Foo Fans deletion ;) xx Trose - 8-10lbs Karazykat07 - 14lbs PaulaJ - 12lbs Shaz1980 - 12lbs Yeye - 14lbs Foo Fan - 12lbs

Yeah fine, just plodding along fighting the cravings all the time as usual :sigh: On a more positive note though, hubby got his act together today and called the doc re: LT so he'll be starting next Thurs, he's already starting to plan to cut carbs a few days before so he can each ketosis...

Were you really hungry??? I'm cold too, just had a roasting hot bath, but my bathroom is so blimmin cold, the effects have worn off, going to get my granny hot water bottle now! Going to make my next shake with less water (I think LT call it a "mousse" ha!) because I fancy something "nice" :D...

Great to hear you're back on track, Claire... 10 weeks till the hen party woooo! Your weight loss is totally do-able by then and do you think it helps that you've kinda got an end date in sight? It does me... I've done 4 weeks so a third of the way through my 12 week stint and in a fortnight...

Good luck! Make sure you get the water in, I've been a bit lax this week and have had sore, dry & flaky lips and don't underestimate the discomfort of constipation! lol How long are you planning to do LT for? xx

Hiya, how are you getting on? xx

Hey Lis, thanks!! I just feel guilty that I'm taking up a seat and only having a coffee, but hey at least I'm buying the coffee right? Would just feel like a div... I have a 70's orange Tupperware shaker... maybe if I get a newer trendier one I might feel less conspicuous ha! Oh how vain! lmao...

Hi David, just read your chicken post and I agree you could have done a lot worse. The fact is that we all struggle with cravings and sometimes it's better to have a bit of something you fancy than to keep going and have a total blow out binge! BUT the important thing is not to let it become the...

Doing fab girl, keep going and you'll be in those 14's in no time! xx

Good luck everyone, have started the list again... Trose - 8-10lbs Karazykat07 - 14lbs PaulaJ - 12lbs

Hiya! Am really busy this week and next as my colleague is on annual leave and I'm covering most of her shifts so will be clocking up around 100 hours over this fortnight, all extra money for a new wardrobe I suppose :D Anyway so just a quick note from me. Have not drunk enough water this...

Me too!!! no ketchup though. Have actually been craving healthy protein based foods in general, or maybe I'm just trying to think of all the different ways to cheat on LT! lol Only gave in to an egg once in almost 4 whole weeks. Keep it up! How have your weight losses been? xx

honk! xx

lol I don't know... first it was the mustachioed nipples and now the badly packed kebab.... we're learning a lot about you Cherry!!

Not at all, and I'm glad you're still with us :D BUT here comes the butt kicking... STOP IT!! What are you doing to yourself? Re-focus... take some time to yourself and have a really good think about what you're doing and what you want to achieve from LT. Whenever you get a craving for...

I wrote this a few times and deleted it! But here goes.... Whenever I think of a kebab... the words "badly packed" come to mind... surely that's enough to put you off again huh???? pmsl!

Yet ANOTHER reason not to eat a donner kebab! Ha! Bleurrrggghhh

And you WILL be hunny, just a few measly weeks of LT! You can do it!!! How was your day? xx

Wow! Cherry thanks for sharing... a very emotive (I think thats the right word?! lol) post and I think a lot us can relate to it! We always had a healthy diet growing up, my parents were sticklers for it - we never had sweets (special occasions only) never had any fizzy drinks, fruit and yogurt...

Well done, Muffy... proud of you! xx

I just came across this image online and found it very interesting. I think it speaks for itself but look at all that internal fat! I can now see why my losses might not be showing as quickly as I hoped because I've got so much fat inside! This has helped spur me on a bit because I do not...

Honk! xx

Aww hunny I'm so sorry! Listen, don't worry about what you've eaten... it's been a tough, tough day for you, look after yourself tonight, it's not the end of the world and hey, like you say back to it tomorrow eh? You can still be proud of your achievements and look forward to those to come...

Well done Jacko!!! xx

Work work work again today, been a busy one and only just got my first shake in at 6.30pm when I got in! Do you think I could just have 2 shakes today but have 4 tomorrow because I've got a bit more time? Or does it not work like that? Down to 18st 3.5lbs this morning so have lost another 2lbs...

Well done Jayne xx

ooh and hey, get the ticks out... your BMI is under 30! Another goal bites the dust! xx

Great loss again this week, Mirjam! Well done! :D xx

Well done for staying strong today hunny, funerals are not the best of occasions but you got through it, saw the pics of your balloons on FB, thought that was a lovely idea! xx Hope totm cruises by quickly, have you got any ketostix to check if the diet coke has kicked you out? Is it the citric...

Wooohoooo! Your scales have rewarded you for your hard work at the weekend! Well done matey :D xx

Wow, stressful week, definitely! Look after yourself xx Maybe this is your week where you'll have a small loss but lots of inches off?! I mean come on, with all that exercising and worrying burning the calories SOMETHING must be happening in that body of yours! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow...

Nice one Chuck! Well done xx

Pudgeeeeee, where are you? How are you getting on? xx

Hi Claire, how was your weekend at work? Are you getting through this OK? xx

Honk for week 4 day 4! x

Aww you guyyyyyss! :D Have popped into your diaries, struggling today huh? Well as I said yesterday, I was working today and have had to help cook a fry up and 2 roast dinners, was invited to join my 2nd person with his lunch but had to refrain, very difficult because it all looked so good...

Good luck for tomorrow Jacko! xx Well done for not giving in... I "dream cheated" last night lol! Was really peed off with myself this morning until I realised it was a dream! Keep it up xx

Hi happydays, good luck for tomorrow... There is a thread on her describing step by step how to make a ticker on your signature, here's the link: http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/32356-how-set-up-weight-loss-ticker-tickerfactory-com.html Hope you are well xx

Sunday's really are hard!! It seems like the day of indulgence for everyone and I so wanna join in! Have seriously thought about quitting today (first time I was serious about it!) but I just can't justify it. I'm going to push through until weigh in (Thurs) and take it one week at a time. I...

aww hunny, if its any consolation I'm having a toughie too. Having mixed emotions today & feel like giving up all the time promising that I'll eat properly (highly doubt I will!) I just want to join in too! Have had to make a fry up and 2 roasts today and my 2nd service user invited me to join...

Chilli chocolate is all the rage these days ;)

HONK!!!

Just back from a hectic day at work, Have helped cook a fry up with my first service user, watched my second eat the a rather tasty looking toasted sandwich from M & S and watched my 3rd eat the most delicious looking 4 cheese pizza from Prezzo. NEVER go to Prezzo while doing LT!!! Just don't...

Honk! :D

great losses hunny, well done... as long as you got straight back on it, forget about the blips, you're doing great xx

Come on Claire, you can do it!! Just a bit of sacrifice for a few weeks, like everyone has said before... all that food you're cheating with will still be there when you finish! Re-focus, don't give up! :D xx

Hehe! Can't say I've felt especially cold on LT - no more than usual, even got the windows open today to get a bit of fresh air in here. Watching the cat like a hawk, cos he nearly lost all of his 9 lives when he was a kitten climbing out the open 2nd floor window, I've constructed a sort of...

Aww I'm working at the weekend too, Claire... never mind, another day another dollar! lol Week 4, day 2... woke up today with a cracking headache, I'm pretty sure it feels like a dehydration headache but can't understand why because I drank plenty yesterday? It's finally starting to go away...

hey you, I have no idea about the Tobasco, so will let someone else answer that! :yuk: Great news about all the parties, for the fancy dress outfit - because you'll be so skinny - you should hire a fat suit and go as Bubbles from Little Britain pmsl! I hope the attachment works, I've never...

honk! xx

I know how you feel about treating yourself for being good but it's a nasty habit ain't it? I nearly did it myself today as I always had a treat after weigh in. I think things are just getting blimmin boring for all of us. And hey, if you can't have a whinge on here then what's the point? I've...

Aww Ssusee, it happens... don't beat yourself up about it! You got straight back on it and that's the main thing! Be proud xx

4.5lbs off for me today. As my next weigh in isn't until 3rd Feb, could I weigh on Monday (31st Jan) to try for the final 1.5lbs?? Pretty please Su?? lol Funky: 10lbs(-6) Yeye - 12lbs (-11, -5) SlimmerSu: 7lbs (restarting 24/1/2011) Cookeh: 10lbs, -6.6lbs, 3.4lbs to go Jayne33: -12lb...

Thanks guys :D Week 4 day 1, can't believe I've made it this far to be honest! Haha, Cherry, you crack me up you crazy eggcentric fool :P

Right... are you actually hungry? Could you have your next shake early? OR are you just bored? Is it just the evil cravings? Could you have half a shake and if you still feel hungry at 3pm you can have something really boring and unappetising (an egg perhaps? lol) - protein obviously, hopefully...

awww thanks hunny :D Fabulous news about the combats!!! I call my muffin top my 2nd belly and really can't wait to see the back of it, it was the last thing to appear so hoping it'll be the first to go! It really does affect the way you feel in clothes doesn't it? Here's to a muffin top free...

Just had my weigh in and I now weigh 18st 5.5lbs, so that's 4.5lbs off this week :D Happy with that and looking forward to being in the 17's in the next fortnight!! I have not been there in forever :D Just going to update my sig etc and catch up with everyone else... happy days xxxx

Don't really have a lot to say today, my day went a little bit too smoothly tbh! It's weigh in for me tomorrow so will properly update tomorrow, sorry for being boring... but you know how it is :D Still here, still honking :D

Honk! xx

Woohooo! Compliments :D Thoroughly deserved of course, you're doing so well and a stone and a half off? Amazing! In a rush to get to work, but had to comment. Well done, keep it up xxx

Hiyaaaa :) First of all, congratulations on your loss! Things seem to be going so well for you and you are totally in the zone :D Doing fab babe xx Your pharmacy sounds a bit like mine lol but they are getting better bless 'em and they're disorganisation means I get my shakes cheaper so...

Doing good chick, keep it up xx

I'm shattered tonight, so just a quickie from me... another 100% day, tried soup - OK, tried strawberry shake - also OK, time for bed now :D Good luck to all weighee's tomorrow xx

honk :D

hehe thanks Sandra, I'm not kicking myself for it, I did it and now its behind me :D Just picked up this weeks supplies from the pharmacy, they finally got some of the soup in for me and its actually OK. Tastes a bit like a cup a soup gone wrong but it feels nice to have it in a bowl and sit...

well done Jayne, you're doing so well! xx

Honk, day 19 (or day 1 again)... missed honking yesterday because I had a boiled egg! SORRY!! :(

hehe yeah I've seen a website which records all of those changes the iphone makes to spelling, it literally had me it tears with laughter, can't remember the name now, will try to find it for you! I'm in East Devon and about a 2 hour drive from Barnstaple - but no doubt you'd get on the M5 or...

I have my shakes when I can, really. Try to leave it as late as poss in the morning for the first few days until you're into ketosis, especially if your evenings are your bad time. Once you get into ketosis you won't feel as hungry but be warned you still won't get rid of all cravings. These are...

Back to 100% today :D I'll be honking in about an hour once I've had my last shake! Going to ignore yesterday. Had a busy day, Monday's always are. I've had to cook 4 meals today for each of the service users I was working with. I've also had to watch 2 of them eat... :O while sipping on a...

Haha, I've never had a boss that wasn't gossiped about before ;) But anyway... I don't know about the curry, depends what was in the sauce? Good for not having any obvious carbs though :) How are you feeling today? Do you think you're still in ketosis? Maybe try a ketostix? Yeah, come on...

Wow, NICE! How amazing is LT (and your willpower?!) Is that similar to the speed of weight loss when you did Cambridge? You are just doing brilliantly as always and on track for a 2.5 stone loss in 4 weeks! Woop! It's tricky to see a difference in yourself because you see yourself every day...

Hi hun, glad to hear everything is going to plan with Ole's leg (how do you pronounce that? Like Olly or like O ley, or another way!?) hope you got the old guys details and not too much damage to the car! Good attitude re: the chips, they're nothing special if you think about it! You're doing...

Well done Jacko! Great news on the inches lost too!! xx

haha! Good luck today cherry xx

wow! well done hun! Must dash, long day at work... keep it up!! xx Good luck today Cherry xx

lol, I'm back on track now... no more eggs! Thanks everyone xxx

I know what you mean about the starting weight thing, how many times have we all kicked ourselves for doing that? This time it's for good though right? ;) Have you given any thought to what you'e going to do long term to maintain? I think that's a weak point where we obviously fail time and...

Oooh well done, you're so strong! Just going to check your diary out now :D

Hiya, hope you're OK today, you are doing so fab! Thanks for being there and giving me inspiration to be 100% again! I've got to make 2 roast dinners every Sunday for the next 4 weeks for my service users at work, and I will be strong - even if it is my favourite meal in the whole world ever...

Thanks for the boot up the bum guys, I DO feel a bit like I've let you down :( I guess I'm not as strong as you thought huh? lol Never mind, I won't do it again and I deffo won't be planning for a McD's and neither will you Cherry!! so you can get that thought right out of your head now! :P...

Food mentioned... Forgive me father for I have sinned!:break_diet: As you know I have been thinking about eating an egg for a few weeks now lol Well this morning... I ate one!! Well 1.5, one complete and the white of another, boiled. Just so you know it was OK, nothing special & probably not...

Come on Jacko... you CAN do it! Push through... everyone else is right, it does get easier. It doesn't stop us from feeling sorry for ourselves for a bit but it is easier to deal with. Be strong, think of all the reasons you are making this positive change, focus on a mini goal and the future...

Day 17 honk! xx

Wow well done Nicki, bet you're over the moon?! xx

haha so that's why your FB status was sent using an iphone, thought you were borrowing hubbys, well lets hope it'll keep you occupied during those times of need :D

Yes everyone commented but I just explained that I was on a doctor prescribed diet, had a few questions and I answered them honestly. I mean, it's pretty apparent that I'm overweight and I don't mind telling people that I'm doing something about it! I just sipped water, organised the cake etc...

I know what you mean, I had a terrible day yesterday with cravings and I am literally dribbling at the smell of my hubby cooking bacon right now! But it just isn't worth it. As soon as you cave in, it's the start of that slippery slope, next thing you know you've put 10lbs on and all your hard...

Do NOT do it! If you do your head will blow up like a balloon and pop, spilling your brains everywhere, very messy! :copon: lol

Keep trying and stop prolonging the agony by eating!!!:copon: lol Put it all behind you hun, it's not easy especially when we have occasions such as birthdays but you can do it! I have faith in you. xx

Wow! Thanks for sharing Lyns, you've really been through the mill haven't you? I think its great that you've got back on the wagon before getting back to 21st again, you don't know (well, you probably do actually!) how much I kick myself for not doing something properly about my weight before...

Very good point Jayne, will set a restart date! Yeah I've always said I'll see how I feel when I get closer to the time but it feels nice to have an end date to focus on! Your holiday sounds fab, it doesn't need to be anywhere exotic, just time away with the family and a change from day to day...

Well done Cookeh! You're an inspiration to all of us newbies... proof that it can be done! Keep it up :D xx

Wow! Well done you! What a fabulous result :D Keep it up xx

Well done Shaz! You'll be settling into things now, all we've got to do now is knuckle down and get through it, it takes a lot of determination to do this so be proud! What a great incentive to keep going when you get positive comments from your nearest and dearest - after all, those people are...

How are you getting on Su? All good I hope... xx

Hi Mirjam, hope you're having a good weekend, let us know how you're getting on if you get a chance? Positive vibes as always xx

Hope you have a good day, you've certainly got your hands full with all those boys! (hubby included!!) Good to hear that your scales are rewarding you for your hard work, you're doing fab as usual and deserve a treat! I might treat myself to a new pair of specs after pay day, exciting stuff eh...

Hey Pudge, how are you doing today? Thanks as always for your positive comments on my diary, what would we all do without you? xx

Just popped in to make sure you're still with us?? Hope you're having a good day xx

Hehe, Jayne... unlike Cherry I'm a bit behind you but had a similar kind of night, must have been a full moon! Hope you're feeling much better today (and thanks for your positive comments on my diary too!) xx

Hehe, seems like you're the one that everyone is jealous of at work now, bet that feels good! :D And why wouldn't they be, it takes a lot of strength and determination to get through on LT. Keep going and don't change into the person everyone's gossiping about... I can hear it now "ohh she did...

Hey Cherry, it seems we both had a tricky one yesterday and that's all it is really... just tricky! Nothing we can't handle just gotta be strong! I've said before that we're both lucky to have such supportive OH's what would we do without them? Even though mine did smugly torture me a bit last...

Cherry, that is such a nice thing to say, thank you so much and right back at ya! I might not always comment but I am checking in on your diary! Have done a bit of housework today and hubby is wondering if I am ill?! Cheeky bu99er! Have had the radio on for the first time in ages, wouldn't even...

Bet finding out you'd lost a stone would've boosted your confidence for the interview! How did you get on? xx

Thanks again ladies a new day it definitely is! I've had a lie in and it seems that my scales have rewarded me for my hard work yesterday... down to 18st 7.4lbs!! As I've said before the last time I did ww I got down to 18st 7lbs and it took me 3 months! I think I'll get that at this weeks...

Love the new pic hun :) Can't really offer any support regarding kids as I class my cat as my baby :giggle: so I won't say anything other than I hope you can find a way to help Kye and that hubby can support you! xxx I like your idea of having everyone's weight loss on one thread, would be...

Awww thanks guys, been a bit of an emotional day tbh. Been feeling really sorry for myself, I know it'll pass by morning and I'll be all positive again. I've had a bit of an attitude today and really have struggled to not give up. Was having thoughts about starting to refeed soon, but I just...

Oh that Su is such a meanie! Fair enough then (grumble grumble) better just make sure I make February's then unless I have a miracle loss next week :D ever hopeful! Well done to all of you :D

Well done honkers! A honk from me for a difficult day 16 :D

It IS sweaty and sticky, you're right... well the stuff we get here is anyway! Had some lovely fresh food when I was in Hong Kong last year, they seem to eat a lot of noodles in a clear chicken broth type sauce and veg, I loved it! Will maybe incorporate more of that kind of food into my diet...

OMG such a difficult day craving wise! Be warned I will be mentioning food! Well, as you know I was out for a 60th birthday party at a Chinese restaurant with work today. Had to sit across from the birthday boy. Everything was pre-ordered and paid for but it seems 1 person didn't turn up as...

HI Ailish, have quickly read you posts, just about to rush off to work but I just wanted to say that you're doing great, 3lb off is still a good loss! Will comment properly later, I'm a week behind you and we have similar weights so will keep an eye on your progress :D Keep up the good work xx

We're all busy, so I'll just say keep it up, you're doing fab xx

Hehe, you know I don't really mean it! Everyone says you shouldn't do the daily weigh thing but I can't help it either. I've got a plan of action if they go up and I'm not bothered, I'll still carry on - I know it'll go down again the next day, it's an impossibility not to! Whatever works for...

163 :)

Honk for week 3, day 1! (Sounds so much longer than day 15:D )

Good to hear it! It's tricky getting on here when you're so busy, we've got confidence in your 100%-ness so won't start to panic until a few days have gone by without any news. Keep it up, and keep us up to date when you can :D x

Oh I think you did the right thing taking your 10 yo to the docs, must be quite worrying for both of you! I know what you mean about the doctors, our surgery is always emergency only but if you manage to get in under the care of a doc you have no probs booking an appointment through the GP...

Glad to hear about your brace arriving AND that you're doing well, I don't know what else to say other than keep it up :D xx

Claire! Behave yourself! lol You're going to look stunning and the hair loss is only because your hair may stop re-growing while your on it, it's a temporary thing and not everyone gets it. These shows have to show the most shocking examples otherwise no one would watch them! Can you imagine...

Thanks guys xx Yeah, I've taken a liking to black coffee now too... needs must I suppose! I think I'll carry on with it afterwards, not really into black tea though but did enjoy Chinese tea when we were in Hong Kong, so there's time yet, can't get into green tea - dries my mouth out and...

Yeah, how are you getting on? x

woohoo! You made it through! Make sure you let us know how you get on tomorrow :D xx

4.5 lbs off this week, making it a stone in 2 weeks :) looks like I've only got 6lbs to get rid of to make my target, I think that's do-able :D My last weigh in for this challenge will fall on Feb 3rd... I'm counting it in! :D Funky: 10lbs(-6) Yeye - 12lbs (-11) SlimmerSu: 7lbs (restarting...

Woah! Well done! I remember giving my mum hell as a teenager and I'm sure that's when she started putting on weight... It's my fault she's overweight OMG lol! Seriously well done though, there's nothing worse than someone screaming and shouting at you when you've done nothing but try to help...

How are you today Pudge? xx

Woop! Also managed my 5% off mini goal :D

4.5lbs off for me this week :) so I've hit my stone mini goal (just!!) Just going to update my sig then off to work, hope you all have a fantastic day :D xx

pmsl, crapjacks and no water until they'd finished eating one!!

haha! Not yet for me... I'm too paranoid about my breath!! Better pre-warn my hubby what he's got to look forward (!) to on day 15!! lol My hubby is the same, eats rubbish but more worryingly for me is the amount of Coke he drinks! I think he could lose quite a bit just by cutting that muck...

honk for "Weigh-in Eve" :)

How you doing Mirjam? xx

PMSL!!! Forget prison, forget being locked up with a load of burly men who want to kick your head in, forget peeing in a bucket and slopping out, forget being confined to the same 4 walls for years, no! That's not a deterrant! Give 'em a lifetime of Lipotrim! Amen Sista! lol

Amen sista! Woo, love it when you get all Evangelical! PMSL xx

I knowwwwwww about the weigh in every day but I can't help it! lol It's the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning (talk about a sad life, Claire!) On another note, anyone getting furry teeth? :yuk: I have to brush my teeth after every shake because I can't stand the feeling, it's...

Sandra, you are such a familiar face on here always ready to offer advice when needed or give us a telling off but that's it, you speak the truth, you've been where many of us are at the moment and lots of us look up to you for exactly that reason! Sounds like you've been through a lot lately...

Aww Chuck, you've been going through this for a while now, I remember reading about it before I started 2 weeks ago! This must be awful to deal with, did the pharmacist say that this "electrolyte imbalance" would sort itself out or is it something you're going to have to deal with the whole time...

It totally is just the boredom, try to concentrate on how you'll feel at goal and how much hard work you've put in so far. You could totally have most of your weight off by the end of March, all ready for spring/summer. Nothing much happens in Jan/Feb/Mar, well not for me anyway! Try to...

Thanks Muffy :) am hoping that my scales will be nice to me tomorrow :D I seem to be slowly creeping down by about 0.5lbs a day. I know I shouldn't weigh every day but tough... I do! lol On target for a 4lb loss this week unless something miraculous happens overnight. That's OK though, and I'll...

Isn't bad?? That's blimmin' fantastic hun! Proper wi for me tomorrow and going by my daily weighing's its going to be a 4lb off week for me, like your hubby says we can't expect such a big loss as our first week all the time but at least in your 2nd week you know its proper weight coming off...

How did you get on today at work and with the flapjacks?

Pudge, that is awful, so sorry to hear about the break in. It's such an invasion of your privacy when you get burgled, I can understand feeling creeped out, who wouldn't be?! Just a point on contents insurance, I'm not a salesperson lol but what if, God Forbid, there was a fire/flood/ spillage...

Claire, love the red shoes on your sig! Just leaving for work in a mo, am hoping to be home around 3pm where I'll have some peace and quiet to spend some time on here :D been a bit distracted lately. Have a good day everyone, see you later xx

You're doing fab Cherry! Your in week 3... sounds so much longer than 16 days - well, 17 today. Good luck with the yummy (!) flapjacks today. LT = boring but do-able, getting our heads down and getting on with it! Nothing much happens in Jan/Feb anyway, that and the weight I'm hoping to lose...

Honk for day 13 :D

aww sorry to hear about the pizza situation but like Su says, you've got the right attitude! Let us know how you get on over the next few days, hopefully getting back into ketosis won't take long! Sorry, bit distracted by big fat gypsy weddings lol Tomorrow is a new day, have a good one xxx

Hi Den, love a bit of poo talk lol I think I noticed about day 5, but I am also on codeine which is a well known constipator! - if that's even a word?!? Had a REAL problem on Saturday (day 10) and did not want that to happen again so took a Dulcolax and got the opposite problem yesterday! I...

Hey Claire, you're quiet today... hope we haven't lost you!! Give us an update when you get a minute xx

Got a bit more time to spend on here tonight so intend on catching up with everyone :D Just a thought I had today as I was driving home from my meeting... Firstly I was more aware than usual of the amount of miserable overweight people I saw walking around town today but this one woman I...

Good luck Su! x

Yep same thing happened to me, the only thing I can suggest is try to sip more water evenly throughout the day and take some paracetamol. The headaches will ease off once you get into ketosis but I still feel a bit weak on day 13 but seem to have a bit more energy if that makes sense?? Keep at...

Got a quieter one today phew! A 2 hour meeting at work, pick up shakes and possibly soup at pharmacy and then chilling out (!) in the family shop with my hubby. I've decided not to change my weigh in day, going to keep to a Thurs. I'm weighing in at home now anyway so it doesn't matter. Roll on...

Aww Claire that sounds horrible! How much longer do you have to take the penicillin? Sorry I don't have much time - need to go to bed but just checking in with you, hope you're feeling back to your normal cheery self in the morning xx

Hey pudge, don't have much time but couldn't go to bed without catching up on your daily happenings :D You are so learning by your spag bol mistake lol, sometimes we need that to get on with things, you're doing really well and so encouraging to people all the time, keep it up! Anyway, also...

That's fantastic news! Brilliant loss are you noticing any changes in your shape and clothing? Keep it up, week 3 now and rocking & rolling :D

I won't say much, got a lot to catch up on but woohoo well done on both the loss and week 3 day 1! Sounds so much longer! :D

day 12 honk :)

Take it one day at a time Den, don't think about 6 months. Maybe commit yourself to 12 weeks initially and see how you get on! Once you get through week one, I promise the cravings get easier to deal with and you're not CONSTANTLY thinking about food, only most of the time pmsl The flapjack are...
