Been doing refeed and maintenance for about 4 weeks on my own now. Have managed to get rid of another 6lbs! Just 6lbs to go before my target weight, and 4 weeks till my 2 week all inclusive holiday begins! I will maange it, and keep it off!:D

Hiya. Starting Refeed tonight but once i have finished that, i would still like to loose about 7lbs. Has anyone lost weight doing maintenance, and if so, how much can i roughly expect to loose (hopefully a lb at least) Thanks

Now i am starting refeed. TFR has been great. I have lost 4and a half stone. Have my weigh in Saturday, and shall updateyou with the exact loss then, but i am going on holiday in 10 days time, so have begun my refeed tonight. I started this in the Spring, and it has by no means been easy, but...

Have a holiday starting 6th August, Wasn't going to start refeed till Saturday, but so craving it, started now, which isn't necessarily bad. Just had tuna chunks with plain lettuce leaves with salt and pepper. Tasted like the best thing i have ever eaten. just got to get refeed correct, and then...

Just like Many who have been scared when starting refeed/Maintenance, i am too! Will be starting refeed next week, and then onto maintenace. I still need/want to loose between 7 &14lbs, but now i am only just in my BMI, but my pharmacist is not keen for me to continue now i am in my BMI (just)...

It would be unlikely... did you drink more, because oten if i drink more water it helps keep the 'breath' away. Unless you ate something i think it would be pretty much impossible to come out of Ketosis.

I don't think you will be 14lbs lighter in 2 weeks, but try exercise, and drink loads of water!

If you eat pure protein/salad this will help you get into Ketosis faster, and your first weeks weight loss will come faster. Try chicken/tuna salads- no carbs for the weeks before maybe?

Believe it or not... i started at that weight end of Feb, and i'm now near my personal target of 10 stone! It can be done, so stick at it... u will feel amazing and be a whole new person!

Thank u for lovely comments every1. yes i am treating myself to some new holiday clothes for my holiday in September... can't wait. Regarding the meals it was hard but yes stuck to salad and protein, still lost 1lb that week which wasn't bad considering. The two work functions sprung up and to...

Well done. i'm sure the 1lb was just a blip last week i have weeks with not much lost then the next week is much better. Funny how the body works, but keep at it as long as u can, remember how easy it is to loose every week with lt! x

Today was a breathrough. Have not had a weigh in for two weeks, still lost 4lbs depite having two meals which i agreed with my pharmacist for work events. Very pleased. 11 stone exactly and just over 4 stone lost now. I am in my target weight, but 1 stone till my own goal! I will be a perfect...

Wow. Now you just need to refeed and maintain. I can't wait till i'm at goal, mine will be another 4-6 weeks, but i'm so excited, so you must be ecstatic!

Thanks enjoyed reading this, and feel a little better about the night out. One night is all it is and back on track for me!

Thanks everyone for helpful comments will keep it in mind. Am thinking of just having a salad. will see how this week goes....:)

After my 2lb loss last week i have got back on target with a 4lb loss this week! woohoo. Just over a stone till my 10stone goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Went to the cinema last night and had about 10-15 pieces of popcorn. Does anyone know if this will affect Ketosis/weight loss? Also i know you aren't meant to eat on the diet but i have a meal coming up next Friday which i can't miss. My advisor said i could contiinue as normal just eat the...

I used to weigh myself every few hours the first few weeks... don't do it, i can vary 5 lbs within the day! which is not good for moral. same time same place everyweek....don't weigh any more than that! x

Only lost 2 lbs this week, was hoping for 3 or more, so a little disappointed. Wanted to finish the diet by beginning of July but doesn't look like i will at this rate. Also i have a bday meal planned in a few weeks so need to come off lipotri just for the one meal then go back on, starting to...

I haven't been on for two weeks, feeling a bit sorry for myslef, but back on track and down 6lbs the last two weeks, really should motivate myself more, as i have probably about 6 weeks to go but the shakes make me feel a lil queasy now so keep thinking should i stop now? This week i am...

Since Feb20th i have been unsocial for meals. But instead every time i get another stone off am trateing myself to a massage or nice things. At the end of the day as long as you keep in contact with people and suggest things that don't involve food e.g cinema etc then you can do it! short term...

Definetley do a refeed week before you go, i just had a week off for my brithday after doing a refeed and only gained 3lbs in the week, despite practically eating out every dy and having loads of cake, so hopefully if you do refeed and make healthy choices your weight will sts, then get back on...

Well 2 weeks off lipotrim and a 4lb gain, but first week back and i'm down 6lbs again. so proud of myself (sad isn't it) that i managed to get through first week again as it is the hardest. Couldn't even get on here for support as by the time i got back from work my head was so bad i could...

Aww chin up, it must be a horrible time for you, we have all been through it. Why don't you get a film tonight, sit down with your shake and cuddle up to the hubby?

Yay! Congarts. Keep going, you'll be finished in no time. x

Well this week was My Birthday week, i came off the diet as i agreed with my pharmacist and gained 3lbs. Not to go into detail, but it was a very enjoyable week to put it. Now back to TFR. This week is going to be so hard second time round, but i enjoyed myself this week so it is worth it! So...

wow, amazing los again... just think u'll soon be on maintenance and i bet it will feel very good!

Get the breath strips... Nu phar, my pharmacy sell them. They are at times a lifesaver!

wow, your features on your face have really come out, and looking amazing. U should be very proud! x

Congrats, hope you feel much better this week, and good luck for the next month!

Another 3lbs this week! woo hoo. Now i have reffed for a week... so ooking forward t eating even salad, and then my birthday week, then back on the shakes. Looking forward to a bite to eat but scared i will pile it all back on... here's to my salads this week! Gotta be better than shakes eh?:D

Has anyone found as the weeks go on the shakes are making them ill. I normally have vamille for brekkie, strawberry for lunch, and choc (hot) for dinner. Now the vanilla and choc i am just about managing, and the straberry i have managed for weeks, but the last 2 weeks i have found them so sweet...

Just tell them you are on a diet which requires you to have these shakes for a while. If they are your friends they will understand, or just say you can't at the moment for medical reasons- you are on antibiotics or something which means you can't drink. Whatever you say, if they're good...

Not only dreams about healthy food, but going shopping with the other half, would normally bypass a lot of fruit/veg... now i look at it dying to rip open a bog of lettuce, and start munching on carrotts.... weird i know.

rings are loser, i actually have a jaw and neck bone, and it's far easier to bend down shaving my legs now! haha

Congratulations for the fab restart week... wait and see what week 2 brings...

Week 3 for me was awful, but the next few weeks were a damn site better. Hang in there, week 3 is just a rubbish week! x

Wow, 9lbs in a week???? Did you do nything different, or just get amazing luck with your body this week? Whatever happened i bet you're feeling great right now. Keep it up.x

woohooo went for weigh in today. This is weigh in week 8 and 9, because i didn't go last week and i have lost 8lbs in those 2 weeks! I am thrilled. Going to do one more week of shakes, a refeed week, then eat for my birthday week, back on the shakes for 4-6 weeks and i think that is me done. The...

Do what is good for you, ignore the OH. They are probably worried about what they will eat now you wont be cooking. Am i right? Go for it, you'll feel fab.

and soon they will be to big! what a fab feeling. I tried on some size 14's last week and could not get them up, yet my 16's are quite big? Sad now, i just want to get into 14's, so i knw i'm then near my goal of being a size 12. I have not been a size 12 for years! What is everyone elses aim in...

Wow that is amazing, hope i can do as well as you! Keep it up

See what fits you know, and get the next size down if your really need to get one now? I'm personally waiting a few weeks to get mine, as i went shopping, and although i have lost 2 stone could barely get in the next size down, despite the clothes i'm wearing now being loose. Was really...

I had a 24 hours sik/headache bug this week, but am only starting to feel mildly normal today. Makes you so weak recovering on noting but shakes, so feel for you. Hopefully this week you will be feeling much better, Hang in there

Drink through a straw, hot or cold, keeps your nose away from the drink, and you can sip as fast or slow as you like. Try it, straws are like magic to me on this diet!

Congratulations, i sooo can not wait for this point. Now the hard work starts though, but you must be feeling amazing for the summer.

Another week down, and another 3lbs gone forever hopefully! woo hoo. Another 3 weeks TFR then refeed for my birthday week, then back on TFR. I will have my size 12 body before long(hoping):)

The one thing i hate about this diet, on the pill and periods come regular as clockwork, near to the hour every month. Since starting lipotrim the last one was awful, constant for 13 days! I kid you not. That is my reason for loosing weight asap so i can get my normal cycle back and stop...

Well done, and hey just think in a month or two you will be needing the next size down!!!!! :)

I love ure story of the jeans, i am just the same. Before christmas i just about fit into size 16, and i had a pair of size 16 at the back of my wardrobe... would they fit me? Would they hell? Got up to my thighs and stopped there. However last week i managed to get them on properly, and as they...

Aww fantastic, keep on going you'll reach your goal in no time!

Yay well done, i'm hoping i will be at that point soon too, i will be so happy when i can get into a size 14, nd into 12 stone. Then i know i just need to get off another stone and a bit and i'm there. Many congratulations to you!

Just get through the next two days and you should be ok. This first week always has bad days, i felt like giving up practically everyday. Go for a long bath, buy magazines, read them, clean, take a walk, and like someone else said try your clothes on, see which ones you can get into next, and...

Definetley see the doctor always, with this your health could be at risk. Lipotrim will still be here in 2 weeks if you can clear whatever you have. Good luck to you

And down another 3lbs, which i m happy about. Only another stone till i am in my ideal weight, and 2 stone until i reach my goal. Trying to loose as much as i can in the next 4 weeks before i have to refeed due to an event, so here goes to week 7!

Wow, you have such great losses in just 8 weeks! You will be at your halfway point for sure, and it can only get better!

Keep it up! I'm on week 6 this week, and yes it's boring as hell, but it does work, and like everyone else says think of you in the summer... not long to go now!

Thank you everyone for you lovely messages! They're enough to keep me going in themselves! xxx

Put it this way... i don't have kids, and i get cranky enough as it is! Nothing but praise goes out to all of you who have children who are doing a wonderful job with them as well as being on TFR! It's damn hard work!

Had week 4 and 5 weigh in together as i had to work the first weekend, and i'm pleased to announce i'm down 9lbs in 2 weeks which is very good for me! Especially as i only lost 2 lbs the 3rd week! I am now motivated to keep going this week. Hope everyone else is doing well! :)

I am no wheer near my ideal weight, week 5 weight loss weigh in is this saturday, but i have just over 2 stone to loose before i am in my ideal BMI. However it i have a very special day coming up in May... my Birthday which i am going out for, and i have that week off. So my questions is can i...

omg! Just saw this post... so what toothpaste is everyone using then? I've been brushing like mad as just drinking this i get really bad breath! :(

Well done on taking the plunge. I am on week 5 now, and never thought i would get this far. The first week is def the hardest so get through that and you will be super slim for your wedding. Good luck

well done jenni. I'm sure if you did it this week, you will sail through next few

well done lola, you are doing fantastic! keep it up, and u'll soon be super slim!

7lbs and ure dissapointed? Don't be thats great! Plus u managed to survive week one- that is the hard bit. Things can only get better from here. x

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I got through the weekend, it's wednesday tomorrow, and i always feel a bit better by then, it's the blooming weekends that make me miserable when everyone is eating out etc, and i've got my lovely shake in front of me! haha. I'm not weighing in this...

Well here goes. I lost a measley 2lbs this week. A bit of a downer when the guy weighing me says well i would have hoped for at least 3lbs! So would i! But him saying that didn't make me feel any better, so total loss in 3 weeks now is 13lbs. I know some people achieve this in a week, but i'm...

Don't worry my first week i felt like this too, i've only just finished week 2, but this was so easy keep on going, have a nice hot shower or bath to take some time up and relax you, then find the biggest glass you can and fill up on water, to hydrate you! Keep on going, i know you can do it! x

wow, you've had some amazing loss results over last 8 weeks, keep it up and youll soon be at your goal ( no doubt in fab summer clothes)

Hi. Congratulation for staring for one, it takes a lot of bottle to think no more food. I'm only on day 12, but feel really good at the moment. First 2 days were ok for me, day 3 & 4 were killers, so as long as you make it past them and the headaches you may get you will be fine, just push...

Well done, i hope to be at this goal sometime in May... sigh... long way off for me :( but keep at it, great news for you! x

Aww don't let it get you down, it would have taken longer to loose on any other diet. It's also TOTM for me this week, so hoping that i will have lost something The horrible bloating feeling i'm getting isn't very promising, but weigh in on Saturday so i will see how i go. Keep up the fantastic...

Thank you everyone for replying. I am now on day 5- started Monday, but getting weighed tomorrow. Hope to god i've lost something. The worst bit for me is the evenings when the OH cooks for himself, and the smell is unbearable,have to lock myself away or come on here! Hopefully if i have lost...
