Thanks a mill for your reply! I see your logic and I really think I was given bad advice by the pharmacist. I haven't been able to get back since, but I'm off tomorrow so I'll go down and hopefully get to talk to a different person. The extra lbs are there, about 4, and I've been sticking to...

Thanks a mill for your reply! She told me to stick to the refeed idea but to replace 2 meals rather than one with maintenance food. So it's been like this- Day 1 breakfast 1 shake Lunch 1 soup Dinner 6 oz poached chicken, small salad with balsamic vinegar Day 2 same except for fish instead of...

Hi there, hoping someone can give me some advice! I was in TFR for about 3 1/2 weeks and lost 18lbs which I was thrilled with. Went on refeed/ maintenance, pharmacy told me to eat 2 maintenance foods and one meal as per refeed chart which is what I've done to the letter. Just plain steamed...

Gorgeous here too, did a bit of gardening and major clear out of teenagers room, took 3 black bags of gear that he was 'tired of'!! eBay here I come!

He becci I live in a small town in ireland, on the east coast, only across the water from you, and EVERYONE knows your business, even before you know yourself....

Becci, I was on here all down because I only lost 12 lbs in the first three weeks, but THIS week I lost 6lbs!!! In week 4! That makes it 18 lbs in what is actually 25 days so that can't be bad!!!! I have switched to maintenance foods now because I have 3 weekends away coming up and I want to b...

Becci I'm nearly the same height and weight as you, 5'2 and started at 13 stone 4lbs. I've been on LT for 23 days, 100% all the way and doing some exercise and still haven't reached a stone, 12lbs to be exact. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, thought I would have done better, although it's...

Leigh that's fantastic, you should be so so proud of yourself! Hope you are feeling a bit better now, you poor scrap, you have so much to cope with. Huge (((hug))) to you x

Hello all, I have heaps to do but sitting in the sun topping up my tan! ( I was away in feb) Have my son and his lovely fiancé down for the weekend so cooking up a storm, love spoiling them both :-) trying to be positive, this is my last week before re-feeding- have 16 people for Easter Sunday...

That's an amazing result, another glass of water being raised to you here! Just to appreciate the awesomeness, go look at a stone of spuds and imagine this time last week you carried that with you wherever you went!!! Well done ;-)

Oops pressed wrong button! Anyway stuck to it 100% and only lost 2lbs. On my last week now and realising won't have lost anywhere near my target:-( So I'm sorry for being down too, but a whole week of torture just wasn't worth it :-(

I know the feeling! Had a really down week, just felt frustrated and n

The fecker! Don't mind him!

Mia that's fantastic, fair play to you!!! I got weighed and was gutted! I've been 100% all the way and only lost 2 lbs! Went down all delighted but realise I had mixed up last weeks weight, thought I was down about 5 lbs :-( I'm on day 18 and only have one more week before refeed.. Still, I wore...

Ravenous here too x

Lol!!! I'm on day 16 too :-)

Hi Jesse, when I woke up it was clear and has been ever since, went to the pharmacist and he said he didn't know why it happened, but up the water intake and flush it through. We'll see tonight! So relieved I don't have to stop.. Only 10 days more that I can stay on LT before I have to refeed so...

Yes I think you're right, I'll try and see the GP asap..this is not good :-(

Have just realised there is a lot of blood in my pee( sorry, TMI) so looks like I have an infection -don't know how with all this damn water- does this mean I'll have to come off LT? Having to run to the loo literally every 5 minutes and hell does it sting :-(

Well done Silly!!!!!

Me too...talk to us Mia!

Look there's no easy way to 'do' this, it's hard, really hard but it does get easier, honestly. I'm not losing as fast as some others even though I have plenty to lose and I'm 100% compliant all the way, but I've dropped a trouser size in 2 weeks, loads of that horrible' spare tyre' and even off...

I know! I'm exhausted!!!!!!

Hi 'chubby' (but not for long!!!) I must be the only one in the country who loves the soup! I have it twice a day, It's the nearest thing to 'real' food I can get! Have a flapjack but to be honest it looks like something you would hang out for the birds, I'm saving it for some day that I'm out...

Ps why am I watching masterchef on telly ?????

My iPhone is like one of my children! It's never out of my hand!

I just use the iPhone app, it's brill, feel I'm in touch with you all wherever I am!!! I'm only down 10lbs in 2 weeks but when my partner arrived on Sunday (he lives at the other end of the country) he said I looked so well, face thinner, could see the difference especially from the back! Bonus...

Nikkola that's fantastic, well done and congratulations, you are doing so well !!!

Hells bells Danielle, you are ROCKING! Fantastic result, well done, thrilled for you x

14 honks xxx

Welcome poppy, good to have you along x

Fantastic janie, it took me 2 weeks to lose that! Well done, a brilliant start :-)

Mia that's amazing!!! Each of my legs is bigger than a size 10! You must have felt a million dollars! Girls I was sniffing the strawberry fabric conditioner longingly.....

Omg, well done, you're amazing! Keep it up, we're all behind you x

I think I would only be tormenting myself! I have no willpower at all! Partner has taken his mam out to lunch for mothers day but I couldn't face it, I'd be robbing the roast potatoes off her plate!

True!! I'm the biggest pessimist here and after only 11 days I am able to zip up a dress that wasn't even close to zipping up 2 weekends ago. My partner arrived this morning, he can't get over the difference in me ( he hasn't seen me for 2 weeks) he thinks I look amazing!!!! So stick with it, it...

Bored bored bored! House is shining, nothing on the telly, fed up with facebook, think I'll go to bed! My BF will be here early in the morning..we're going paint the kitchen over the next few days, that'll keep me busy! Mothers day is usually a nice take-away and a bottle of wine so not looking...

I LOVE Harry, but it all got a bit dark and depressing as the books went on, I like a bit of blood and guts in my books! Ok it's Saturday and I'm full of good intentions, going to clean my room, maybe do a wardrobe clear-out, change the bed etc etc, my partner arrives for a few days tomorrow (he...

I'm with you mummy, I would b on my first glass of Pinot grigio by now and thinking of something very nice to e** ( are we allowed to say the 'e' word????) Weekends are TORTURE :-(

Sorry Sigourney but he sounds like a p***k and you don't need that arrogance and selfishness in your life. I have moved on now ( although it still hurts like hell sometimes) I met up with my childhood sweetheart after 30 years and finally have someone who loves me and thinks I'm a complete...

Aw 'small un' (sorry I don't know your name and I WON'T use the b word) thank you so much..look not everything in my life is awful, there's a lit of great stuff too, but it seems a lot of us have problems, and here is such a good place to let it all out. Maybe this de-toxing of our bodies is...

Oh Sigourney I could have written your post myself... My husband put everything in the world ahead of us, his job, his 'me' time, his sailing..anything was more important than 'me' and my sons ( only 1 is his) he moved all over the country for his perfect job while I was here at home. I spent 18...

Ah girls you're all amazing thank you so much. My 17yr old suffers from depression, something very bad happened to him when he was 6, life can be very difficult for him. He smashed stuff all over his room last week :-( started the Prozac yesterday and today I came home...he had cleaned kitchen...

Aw thank you so so much ladies, where would I be without you all, had such a rotten day yesterday, I was freezing cold, tired hungry, pile of huge bills in the post, meeting with 17 yr old sons psychologist who has put him on prozac ( asked him could I have some!!!) lunatics on the N11, cranky...

Nothing like gorgeous shoes to make u feel good! I have a dress here that hasn't fitted me in 2 years. My son got engaged a few weeks ago and I have invited his new in-laws ( never met them!) for Easter Sunday lunch so I HAVE to fit into it.

Has anyone ever NOT lost much weight on lipotrim? I started 9 days ago, got weighed after 4 days, down 5 lbs, but since then ( and yes I know I shouldn't weigh myself) absolutely nothing happening. Completely totally 100% on the programme, water and all. Feeling really demoralised and...

Honk day 9, also hungry:-(

Well done that's fantastic...keep it up x

Way to go Vanilla...thrilled for you...great start xxxxx

No, I added chilli flakes one night and pepper another night, read somewhere here that it's ok, but girl in chemist had a fit and said no! I have a seriously savoury tooth, sweet things do nothing for me. Have to say I hated it at first but after having the shakes for a few days I tried it again...

Vanilly- Glad to hear the sunshine is back! Talk to you all tomorrow, sleep well girls xxx

Welcome nikki I'm a first timer who has survived her first week! The help and support here is brill, everyone warm and caring, it has gotten me this far. Best of luck tomorrow, it's not easy but nothing worthwhile ever is!

Ah Vanilly that's awful. I felt like that on sat and Sunday, thought it was just the lack of wine. It's a horrible feeling, please try and think of the end result and how it will feel to be where you want to be. I also kept thinking about the Chilean miners for some reason! ((((((hugs)))))))

Glad everyones doing well and positive. I KNOW I should stay off the scales but I haven't lost a thing in 4 days..and that would only b days 5 to 9 for me, surely I should b doing better at this early stage? Been 100% all the way, even taking more exercise than normal and drinking my 3 litres?

Em I must b the only person in the world who LOVES the soup! They have to get extra in for me at the pharmacy! I'm living on that and the hot chocolate before bedtime...yum!

I'm fine, went to a burger joint for lunch with gang from work and just drank tea and water..so proud of myself! Heading out for a walk now to tire myself out for early night. Roll on day 9!

Any news vanilly???

I'm ok today, havent even had the last shake yet..did some gardening when I got home to distract me. I'm do so cold all day tho so heading for bed now with electric blanket. Sleep well all ( in spite of the potty trips!!!!)

Try it in a margarita glass with loads of ice!

Ouch! That sounds painful. Hope u get some answers...

Honk day 7!!!!!

Am I the only one who loves the soup? I don't like the shakes so much, gave back the strawberry cos it's too sweet. I whizz the soup in a blender, it gets all creamy and tasty....mmmmmmmmm....soup.... :-)

Keep going becky! Have to say that's rotten of the pharmacist to not keep the appointment. Still you will rock it in the next WI!

Wow Danielle that's awesome, you must be thrilled. Well done!

Chuck...OMG...you must be so proud of yourself, that's just amazing!! Sigourney hang in there, take it day by day. I'm on day 7 now and can't believe I've made it this far, knowing the .sort of person I am. Jellie stick around, the support here is incredible, I keep dipping in whenever I can...

It really makes a difference! There's a woman in mine during the week that does the diet herself but she's a bit bossy?? I like the Saturday girl better. Went out for a walk at lunchtime..all I saw was food! Vanilli you are amazing!!

I'm a novice to all this but I couldn't start till Tuesday but my WI is on Saturdays, only day that suits me. So my first Wi I only lost 5 lbs ( not bad for 4 days!!) still feel I missed the impact of having a big loss ..to quote Simon Cowell 'missing the WOW factor'....

Hey vanilli I was a chef for 17 years! And my own best customer! Work in an office now. At least kitchen work is physical although knee deep in temptation. My ass has expanded so much since I'm sitting on it all day! My older son will be home from hols tomorrow so proper cooking will have to...

Claire you deserve a medal! Couldn't jog to save my life, and today my son had a ready meal cos I wouldn't cook! I'm a disaster :-(

Oh you poor scrap, at least the smell might have put you off food! Hope your son is ok now. Think a lot of us could do with cutting down ..it's such a bad habit!

I'm back to work after a week off so hoping the car journey and being busy at work will make this easier! Have a good week everyone xxx

I'm missing my glass of wine SO much, but I know it's good for me...I was getting WAY too fond of it:-(

Day 6 100%!!!

Cleared out 5 drawers, tidied up my room and vacuum-bagged about 100 teddies!!! Only sitting down now, realise I only had one shake so far! Busy is the only way:-)

Honk day 5!!!!

Well done sigourney, I'm just slightly ahead at day 5 but struggling this evening..Saturday night and all that:-(

Love it!!!

Well done! Had my first WI after 4 days and I'm down 5 lbs...go us!!!!

Ohmigod that's amazing! You must be thrilled!! **happy dance** Went for my first WI but it's only after 4 full days, I lost 5 lbs which is not too bad. Think I've hit ketosis today so roll on week 2!

Hey it's good to have the bad breath tho, isn't it? Let's you know everything is moving along nicely! Been busy all day so not too bad today..can't believe it's Friday night and not a glass of wine in sight, it's a bit of a change!! Made sure there's none in the house so no temptation! Sleep...

Good afternoon ladies how are we all surviving today? It's day 4 for me, have a lousy headache. Have to admit had a sneaky weigh too and looks like I've lost at least 4 lbs, my scales is in bits. Bought some peppermint tea this morning, had to feel there was SOMETHING in the trolley for me...

Hello all..I managed to cook dinner, made them throw out all the leftovers! Had my chicken soup, threw in some chilli flakes, not sure if that's legal?? Just needed some taste. Trying to watch positive things on telly..last night I was watching masterchef and playing cafe world on facebook...

Amazing! Well done, I'm sure you're thrilled. Great motivation to keep going :-)

Hi Becca and Monsie Getting a bit hungry so going to start some ironing, would normally be at work but home all this week with a sore neck. Not used to not being busy...but too sore to get stuck into cleaning and stuff. Have kept chicken soup for later, it's a bit rough but at least it's hot. My...

HONK!!! Day 3..woo hoo!!!

Hello ladies, I'm a first timer, on day 3. I've battled with weight all my life, left weightwatchers at 22 at 52kilos but weighed for lipotrim at 86k..I'm 51 now and it's impossible to shift it (I'm only 5'1") Had a marriage break up and then a broken ankle, as an antidote to both I turned to...

I'm on day 2 also, just about to have the soup, it was rotten yesterday but wasn't mixed properly. Family dinner in the oven, I'm ravenous...it's a long time till bedtime :-(

Hi there, its my first time here and I've survived my first day..i've just made the vanilla shake with a spoonful of coffee and it's truely dreadful. I have 4 stone to lose but realistically aiming for 2! Tired cold and very irritable.( VERY!!!)
