Hi my name is Karen :wave_cry: and i am new to Atkins after watching an inspirational documentary on tv about it, but i wondered if anybody could help me with meals. Last night i had pork chop with fried egg and asparagus, but my imagination wont take me any further, Can anybody help with...

God its hard work whichever way you do it, gulp gulp !!

Thanks everyone, i'v managed more water this week but still cant drink more than 3 so i try to have a few coffee's. Weigh i on friday xxx

Oooh i like that idea of curry powder (dont like chilli) what curry powder do u use ??

What i dont understand is if a person cheats like JJ above, surely at the end of the week, she will still have eaten far less than she would have normally, hence lose the weight ??

Thanks Champers but OMG 4~5 litres, I'm struggling to drink 3, if i drank any more, i'm sure i would never be able to leave the house, i'm constantly on the toilet now, i find it so hard to get down xx

Sounds interesting. I'm gonna have a look into it xx

Hi Sqeeze, I feel exactly the same, it took me 2 weeks to lose what you lost in one, i realise this is because of my size, but there are people smaller than me who are losing more ( e.g Champer's) ha, hope you don't mind me mentioning you honey. Its soooooo frustrating when you see the massive...

Help, i have just made Sunday lunch and the smell of roast chicken is killing me!! I have served it up and got out of the way. I'm logging onto here for some encouragement, God this diet is hard work !! What do other Lipotrimmers do when they've got a family to feed ...

Yes i have found with fibre clear that you have to keep stirring until dissolved, it does eventually disappear and is tasteless xx

ooh this harcombe diet sounds interesting, what does it involve ??

Thats brilliant, cant believe anyone can stick to this for 10 week, you've done amazingly well, have you stuck to it 100% without cheating for 10 weeks ?? Not that it matters, you've lost so much, Well done xxx

Ha Ha YeYe, yes never in my life did i think i would consider a little cup of chicken soup to be the highlight of my day !!

What a great inspiration a compliment can be, you must feel wonderful, the only one i'v had up to now is my son telling me my face looked a bit thinner, ha, but i know if i keep 100%, everyone will soon notice, Well done Cate xx

I love the soup, but i make it exactly the same as i do the other shakes, put the half pint of boiling water in a jug, add the soup mix and blend, i use a hand held blender that you turn yourself, i also have a cheap electric blender (£4 from Asda) but find the hand held one just as good. Love...

Excellent, well done xx

Aw thanks Champers, dont know about amazing, but i do have a lot of it. You again did really well in your 2nd weigh in where as I was so dissapointed with a 3lb loss and your lighter than me! I'v upped my water intake this week so i'm hoping that will help, what do you think ??

Hi there, well i'm a bit miserable at the moment as i only lost 3lb this week, i know i shouldn't compare my weight loss with all the massive ones on here but i cant help it, 3lb seems so meagre, but at least i know why, TOTM and not enought water, i have spoken to the lady at the chemist who...

Ooooh got my 2nd weigh in today at 2pm, not looking forward to it as i didn't drink enough water at the beginning of the week and its my TOTM, so feeling fat and bloated, anyway will post my loss later, Wish me luck fellow Lipo's, xx Karen xx

Yes i think thats right, that the more you try to drink, the easier it gets. i can definately drink more at the end of this week than i could at the beginning !!

Welcome Glitterati, and good luck with your first week xx Karen xx

I know exactly how you feel Yummymummy, i get teary and bad mooded towards the end of the day,always snapping at my son, there's no doubt that its an extreme diet, but i just have to think that i put myself in this position so its up to me to get out of it. I can only say that its got easier for...

Thanks Katie, thats a good idea, xx

How much do you drink CurvygirlClair, i try to have two 1.5litre bottles throughout the day but its soooo hard x Karen x

Kate if you don't mind me asking, what happened on the weeks that you gained weight ?? If it was because you came off LT, did you just go straight back on it ? x

Thanks Kate, no i didn't realise its importance either but i'v noticed the people that drink the most, lose the most. Some people drink more than 4 litres. impossible !! I swear i would drowned !!!!

:wave_cry: OMG am i the only person struggling to drink so much water, :eek: :waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle::waterbottle:, there doesn't seem to be any end to it, sometimes i cant manage to drink it all during...

OMG what inspirational weight loss, thats brilliant, a whole stone, Amazing !! Bobbina did you say you lost less than a pound on your first week ??

Thanks Champers, Sandra, he's not usually so sensitive, but the poor lad has seen how unhappy being overweight has made me, that he is really happy that i'm doing something about it, little things like that make it all worth while, anyway off to have some filling chicken soup now, ha xx

Yes Champers, i know what you mean, i decided at christmas to lose weight and here we are in March and i'm not a pound lighter. So LT was the only answer, it definately works so its worth sticking to, imagine the difference in your aunt, 6 stone lighter, amazing !! Cant wait to be able to put...

I'm so happy, my son has just come home from school and ran into my bedroom, he looked at me and said "Wow Mum, your face is getting well thin" I cant tell you what inspiration that is. He's 13 and then went on the write on my facebook wall, "mum i'm so proud of you"" how lovely is that, i...

Wow you did really well, starting weight only 12.5 and losing 7.5 first week, thats brilliant. well done, xx

Thanks Frankiec, i do have a very tight pair of jeans that used to fit lovely, it will be really satisfying to get back into them, i am also getting my son to take a photo of me every fortnight in the same jeans and white t~shirt, so it will be great to see the difference xx

God i am also on day 11 and know exactly how you are feeling, its so so difficult, up to now i'v mangaed to take the dog for a walk every time i want to munch something, i think the secret is to try and keep busy, but not always easy i know when you have got a family eating around you, well good...

Hi does anybody know how i can upload a profile picture, i cant seem to do it ??

Glad you like my coffee idea Leluna xx and yes your right nomorepie, it is too watery for a bowl and the urge to dip bread into it is overwhelming so i will stick to a cup, Congratulations on losing a whole stone !!

Hi Sabrena, did you do the normal lipotrim diet first (3 shakes per day & no food) or are u going straight onto 2 shakes and food ? Karen x

Hi there, what a great name "willbethinsoon" ha, the best inspiration you will have is after your first weigh in, the first week is always the hardest, but once you see how much you have lost, the second week will be much easier, Good Luck, if you stick to 3 shakes a day and drink tons of water...

Wow i'v just discovered that if i use a little t-cup and make a coffee in it with a sweetener, i can add a teaspoon of vanilla (as if it was coffee whitener) and blend it , sooo lovely and i can have as many of them as i want until the vanilla runs out, Bliss !!

Hi Lainey,yes i'v heard about those cardboard bars, gross. I have bought some peppermint t-bags this week and hot or cold, its really nice added to a chocolate shake (I prefer cold) Also i add a teaspoon of coffee to vanilla and blend with hot water and a sweetener and have 2 frothy coffees...

Thanks for that Macabar, i can feel a difference even with 5lb, i keep thinking its like dropping 2 and a half bags of sugar off and for you more than 5 bags and imagine carrying 5 bags of sugar home from shopping, thats heavy, no wonder you can feel the difference. I can also see the...

Hi my name is Karen, i'm on my 2nd week of Lt, and i lost 5lb on my first weigh in. I'm trying chicken soup this week in the hope of putting it in a bowl so it feels like a real meal. When the going gets tough i think about the many times that i have forced on an evening out and stood...

Hi Leluna, i'v just read your whole blog, it did make me laugh with the rubber suit story but know that feeling too well. every time i am forced to go on a night out, end up in tears in front of the mirror because nothing fits, so end up wearing a sack. I am on my 2nd week now of LT, its a lot...

Wow Woozle, just looked at your BMI and how amazing to have gone from 32 to 24, you have done so well, xx Karen

Thank you Woozle, i was a little dissapointed with my 5lb at first because everyone on here seems to lose more in their first week, but once i thought of it as 2 and a half bags of sugar, it made me feel better. Into my 2nd week now with the addition of chicken soup, which i'm hoping will feel...

Hi there had my first weigh in and lost 5lb, did you have yours Morly Carly ??

Had my first weeks weigh in and lost 5lb, was a little dissapointed as everyone else seems to lose more on their first week, but i must admit to emptying the contents of the fridge the night before starting so maybe thats got something to do with it. I'll look forward to next fridays clear week...

Hi again, thanks for your reply Squeeze, cant wait for my weigh in on Friday. I was wondering if anyone else on Lipotrim was advised to buy "fibre clear" (one ofthe only extra's allowed on LT) because i have been using it and have not had a single "number 2" since starting LT, (4 days) I was...

Hi Squeeze, you sound just like me and practically have the same size and weight, i am on day 3 (4 tommorow) of Lipotrim, its not easy but definately not as hard as i thought it would be. I'v got my first weigh in on friday so am looking forward to seeing if all this starvation has been worth...
