Hi there I will give a very detailed post on how I've done my transition frm TFR to real food in the re-feed section hopefully tomorrow on the computer as it takes ages to type an essay in the iPad! Lol. Hopefully my story will help others :-). Look out for the post, I will call it: LIFE...

Just thought I'd nip in to say A big hello to you all and give you a brief update on my progress. I lost a further 1lb post re-feed (2nd & successful attempt) and I've now maintained my weight loss for 4 weeks so I'm very happy with myself. I've another 3lb to lose to get to target but not...

wow you look really lovely, well done.

WOW Kate what a difference, you look just amazing. Well done to you. xxx

I could only tolerate the chocolate shakes so for 4 months I endured 3 x chocolates shakes a day, peppermint tea (I also don't drink coffee or tea) and water! Not very exciting but hey....it worked!

Yes I'm really enjoying the slimness now. I went to my salsa night on Thursday, first one in 3 weeks due to the Christmas/New Year break and I ended up being embarrassed due to the constant gasps of OMG you look fantastic comments. It was just unreal and everybody commented saying that I...

If its any consolation, I only drink peppermint teal also & water. Not sure which brand of tea you drink but I've found the best tasting one (and the cheapest one coincidentally) is the Lord Nelson brand which is only sticked in Lidl. You get 24 in a box and they have a string with tab on so...

2lb for me please BM. Think I need to revise my target, 20lb is unrealistic so mY I change it to 7lb please? Thank you and once again, thank you for running these challenges, your the Daddy of the forum Busy Mum and I'm grateful for you being there for us all, Hugs xxxx

Hi Nic1559' welcome to the forum and WELL DONE on your 11lb loss, that's a fantastic start to your journey. BM is a fantastic inspiration and there are also soo many other wonderful members on here who are doing equally as well and who also help and support each other. This is a life saving...

Aww Kay, really sorry you're suffering. Believe me, you have my utmost sympathy because I suffered soooo much with constipation myself. A couple of tips which may help. For immediate relief....without the stomach cramps that Dulcolax can give, try Microlax. This was recommended to me by...

Hey NewGirl, 4.5lb is fantastic....be happy and proud of yourself, thats an amazing loss, well done to you. Losing all our weight doesn't happen overnight, its these weekly losses that add up &up and one day you will look at your total loss and be totally gobsmacked because it falls off in such...

BM......WOW 3lb is brilliant but what's more brilliant is you've lost 76lb!!!! Thats the equivalent of a whole child in weight......lost!!! Well done Lady, you should be soooo proud. I have to say that I do understand you being a bit disappointed that it wasn't more but I think by the time...

WOW BigTsmallT, that's just awesome, well done to you. I bet you're really feeling the difference now?? You seem to be really in the swing of it. Long may your losses continue, best of luck.

Hi everyone Well my attempt at going back on LT full time was a bit of a disaster, I just found it too hard to stick to after tasting food so I made the decision to just eat!! I'm in a size 10 (and my size 10s a getting loose on me), I do look really very slim despite being still quite heavy...

Welcome Melissa & congrats on a brilliant loss. I also lost 10lb in my first week, its a great boost to help launch you successfully into week 2. I think it's a great strategy to take it one day at a time, thats what I did this time, I couldn't think about long term planning on it so I just...

WOW Ladies & Gentlemen, such brilliant losses. Needtobeskinny, 12lbs in your first week is just awesome, you must be absolutely over the moon. Such a great boost to take you into week 2 where hopefully it should get a little easier for you. Best of luck. Auxie, 16lbs is just unbelievable...

Well done Daisy, that's a brilliant result and will certainly give you a much needed boost for week 2. Week 1 is notoriously difficult, I know and I'm experiencing it again now after re-starting after my Christmas break. I'm finding it harder because I've only got 20lbs to lose to my goal so...

Well I've now come up with a new idea for when I refeed!!! I'm going to become a grazer!!! No more huge meals just 3 times a day, I'm going to eat less but more often. Here's the cunning plan!!! Bowl of porridge (25g) and I mean the boring no flavour added Scottish Porridge Oats made with...

WOW Nina that's brilliant, well done to you. BM big well done to you also, you're steaming along.

WOW absolutely fantastic Teapot, you're doing so well it's just awesome. No wonder you're over the moon, you should be so proud of yourself. Christmas is just a distant memory now but I still remember that you and BM stayed 100% during that time and I'm so proud of you, you are both total...

Well done Moonagedaydream, you're doing much better than I did on re-feed, I put on 2.5lbs!!! Maybe you could share your secret of success on the re-feed forum - tell us all what you did/ate etc... could help those of us who struggled with our re-feed.

0.5lb for me please BM. Well happy with that as I'd only been back on TFR 3 days and it followed a really bad New Year binging session which lasted 3 days so delighted to have not put any weight on and actually have list half a pound. Here's to getting back to decent weekly losses to get me to...

0.5lb for me after my New Year binge & just 3 days back on plan so very happy with that. In fact totally relieved that I hadn't put weight on!!!! Onwards & downwards now, look out next week!!!

Hey BM, not going to lie to you, I don't do that but I do understand your disappointment and nothing anyone can say will make that 2lb feel any better. BUT come next week when you weigh in and you add up the 2lb from this week and whatever you lose next week, you will be much happier, take it...

Well done Natalia, 3lbs is a great start to the new year, bet you're pleased with that result! Best of luck for next week, I'm sure you'll do great :-)

Best of luck twowheels, it's going to be tough, you know that so keep posting to help get you through it.

Goose, I have 5 x A3 size spread sheets already printed off with cells for food item, quantity & calories doe breakfast lunch & dinner plus a snack section then a total cell to add up total calories for the day in preparation for when I re-feed next time. I am going to do he same as you & plan...

Thank you BM. I've now posted my re-feed disaster story in the re-feed section, it may be worth a read to help learn what not to do when it's your time for re-feed!!

My re-feed disaster story is in the re-feed section for those wanting to learn what not to do!!!!

18lbs for me please. I was going to be a little unrealistic and put down 20.5lbs because that's what I need to lose in total to get to my goal weigh tof 9st 7lb but even 18lbs is going to be tough but hey, it's not called a challenge for nothing!!!

Well I started off great having phoned Lipotrim before starting re-feed to ask for advice. I felt really confident despite initially feeling scared about moving away from the security of the shakes. So I started off with 2 shakes and then had a chicken breast with 5 sprouts for my tea. My word...

Hi Nina, will post in re-feed section & tell all xx

Heyyyy BM, missed you too & I'm going o smash a January target og 18lbs!!!! Although I still look & feel slim, I know the rampage I've been on the last 3 days will have done some damage but back on track today, just having my 3rd shake. Will get weighhed Saturday morning so will then know the...

Well I've still been having a shake everyday as per re-feed apart from the last 3 days, basically Sunday Monday and yesterday but totally back 100% today, about to have my 2nd shake at 4pm. This time round, I am going to exercise. Planning on swimming tonight but I have 2 issues. 1. No...

Aww well done Newgirl, you have done amazingly well and you will enjoy the benefits, especially when the weather turns warmer in the spring and summer, you will be slinking around in skimpy sexy clothes.

Awww fantastic, well done Nina & Teapot, very proud of you girls. How was it for you? My re-feed ended up a disaster so I'm back in the 100% TFR club as of today!!!!

Well the re-feed was OK up untilDay 4 but even before this, I'd put on 2.5lb which I can only assume was fluid weight because I stuck 100% to the refeed plan!!! Then it was an absolute disaster and I've fallen off the wagon big style!!! Had 3 days of just rubbish binging and I too feel awful...

WOW!!!!!! Nina & Teapot........how fantastic are you ladies????? 4lb & 5lb is just totaly amazingly awesome..........well done to both of you, I'm sooooo impressed. Yes it is going to be hard the next few days but hey, it's only Christmas and it's only food!!! I still find it weird not...

Thank you soo much ladies, it means such a lot. Yes can't believe I'm now 10st something, that feels just brilliant. I really enjoyed my first meal so much, could really taste the flavours of the salad, it was awesome. Now looking forward to successfully completing my re-feed & getting the...

Yey I lost 3lb bringing my total to 5st 1lb in just 16.5 weeks!!! I didn't hit my Christmas target, was 6lb short of achieving that but hey, I'm over 5st lighter an 4weeks ago!!!

3lb for me please BM :-). Started refeed today but still hoping to lose next week xx

UPDATE!! Ladykate, thank you for replying and your advice, much appreciated. I phoned Lipotrim today and spoke to a lovely very helpful & informative lady who has done Lipotrim so alsomspeaks drom experience. Long story short, I havento follow re-feed to the letter or risk considerabe weight...

Dear all I'm due to start re-feed tomorrow but I do have a question. Do I have to stick rigidly to the re-feed plan, i.e. having 2 meals on day 2 & 3 etc... or can I just continue to have only 1 meal per day for a week and then introduce 2 meals with just 1 shake and then finally in my 3rd...

Well done Mburke, 2lbs is really great. I only lost 1lb last weigh in and that's on TFR!!!! Maybe a change of scene will be good for you and boost your metabolism. Best of luck on the slim&save.

I get dizzy lots when I get up out of bed or just stand up too fast from sitting down, not a nice feeling at all. I think its my body telling me to slow down! Lol

Mburke, you really have done sooo well losing over 4st on a very hard diet. If you're finding it hard to resist the naughty stuff then just don't buy it or make it, your family won't starve because they don't have chocolate cake and indeed going forward, if you are to keep the weight off and...

Well done Naalie, you've done sooo well, I bet getting that 2.5st off has made such a difference to how you feel about yourself and you are now so much healthier on the inside as well as the outside. Your re-feed is obviously going really well too, pat yourself on the back, you should be soo...

Aww thank you Mburke. I'm so glad I did the progress pictures because I think its all too easy to forget what we started out like and its why a lot of us end up back in the same position so hopefully having the painful reminder as a visual aid will help to remind me of what I've achieved and...

Thank you Teapot & Ladykate for your lovely comment xx

Thanks BM, I do get a shock when I see hem and it hits home that it was only 16 weeks ago I looked like that!

Wow Goose, you're doing fab, you must post a picture of yourself in your new outfit. Can't believe you want to lose more weight, you're already a skinny minnie!! Mburke, you've done really well so far, why don't you sit down for half an hour with notepad & pen & plan out your meals. I find...

Well done Amy, that's a great result and catapulting you into your next weeks weight loss. Best of luck.

Awww thank you so much Teapot both for the comment and also for making it easy for everybody else to see them. I will be posting some more in the new year when I eventually get to goal so hopefully it will be a big difference then.

Aww thanks Teapot, any chance of doing the same for the other picture in my other thread with the side and front comparison? xx

Are you using computer or mobile phone?

Thank you, I know that I still have a way to go but I've broken the back of it now and I intend to carry on until I reach my goal.

As if you haven't already seen enough of me, below are the Week 0 to Week 16 comparison pictures from the side and front view. Cannot put up Outfit 1 pictures because the size exceeds the limit but the other 4 are there. Happy viewing :)

Dear all, my 4 weekly progress pictures have now been posted in the Inspirational Pictures section of the Lipotrim forum, so have a nosey if you like.

For anybody interested, I've now posted my 4 weekly progress pictures in the Inspirational Pictures forum of Lipotrim, have a look if you like.

Hi Teapot, I've now posted my 4 weekly progress pictures in the Inspirational Pictures section of Lipotrim forum, have a look if you like.

If it helps anybody at all, I've now posted my 4 weekly progress pictures in the inspirational pictures forum of Lipotrim.

So after 16 weeks on this diet, here are my interim 4 weekly pictures from Day 1 up until last week (12th December). I know I still have a way to go but I'm not too far away. Hope these pictures help to inspire others to stick to this diet because it does work. Happy viewing! :)

Wrong post. Have re-posted

Yey well done Nina, 4lb is ace. You have done sooo well and only 1lb away from breaking the 11stone barrier which I'm sure you'll smash next week xx

Aww thank you so much Teapot. It's not been easy at all, such a struggle most of e way but now I'm reaping the benefits and funnily enough, now I'm coming to e end, I'm a little reluctant & scared to come off e shakes, they're like a security blanket keeping me out of diet disaster territory...

I only drink peppermint tea & I have around 6 big mugs of that a day in addition to the water. I find weekdays in work far easier than weekends, probably due to the routine in work and others making drinks too.

Well it will either work or be a diet disaster!! Lol

Thank you to everybody for your posts and suggestions. I think I've identified why I'm having such problems. WATER!!!! ....lack of it!!! Since the weather has changed for the colder, I've really struggled to take on sufficient water each day and that has had such a bad effect on me. I've...

I start my re-feed!!! I'm probably not going to achieve my goal by Saturday morning (need another 9lb to do that) but I will/should be in the 10st bracket. Anyway I'm starting re-feed on Saturday so that I can join in eating with my family over Christmas BUT I am not planning on re-feeding to...

Teapot.........WOW WOW WOW...your total weight loss over 4 weeks is brilliant.....20lbs in just 4 weeks is fantastic and almost half a stone more than is guaranteed so you're exceeding expectations!!! Well done to you and the very best of luck for this week.

Well done Newgirl, that's an amazing start to your new life of being a loser!!! Best of luck for the next few weeks, it's going to be really hard with all the temptations around but just stick to your guns, it will be soooo worth it!

Yey!!!!! 5lbs is just totally awesome BM and I just knew you'd be under 20st for Christmas.....you rock lady!!!! I really hope santa brings you another fantastic loss this week too because you really deserve it. Once this festive period is over, you'll be into the new year and well on your...

Just 1lb for me please BM, nowhere near what I pledged but hey ho, I'm still happy to be almost 5st lighter than I was 16 weeks ago!!!

Apologies for the delayed post, it's been a hectic weekend and I've not had time to get on here and post. Anyhoooo, I lost just 1lb this week but considering I'd lost 5lb last week and I've not got that much more to lose I'm actually quite happy with that although another 1lb would have taken...

WOW well done Moonagedaydream, 8lbs is brilliant and a total of 10lb in just 2 weeks!! You're doing brilliantly, keep it up and you'll be at your goal in no time.

Anks ladies for your responses. I thik I'll have to phone Lipotrim tomorrow, will let you know how I get on.

I need some help please. I am still suffering with chronic constipation and I have used Microlax which does work immediately but only, I feel, at the bottom end of the cycle. I am still left feeling bloated and in pain further up the body so I don't feel that this treats the whole area but...

Well done Mburke, you have done amazingly well and you look fantastic. Its been great to share this journey with you and I wish you all the best on your refeed and the final leg if your journey in January xx

Awww thank you, you're so kind. Yes I am re feeding starting Saturday 22nd Dec after my weigh in. I hope to have reached my goal by then of 5st 7lb loss and then plan to lose the last half stone during re feed and healthy eating & exercise after Christmas to bring my total loss to 6 stone...

Well done Natalie, that's just amazing to go all the way to Paris and stay 100%, what dedication and a true inspiration to everyone doing LT. Soo happy for you getting a great weight loss, really makes the sacrifices worth while.

Well well well, I move out of the Tuesday losers club and look what happens behind my back!!! Lol Natalie, well done lady on a brilliant journey and what a fantastic result, how happy you must be feeling right now. I really hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour and slink about i some...

Hi Nina, no I don't exercise on this diet with the exception of dancing salsa once a week which is an amazing exercise as well as being so much fun. I did find it adversely affects weight loss as my body went into starvation mode and held on to as much fat as it could. It's hard to exercise on...

Well done Nina, 2lb is much better than I've had at times but just look at my overall loss which is just 3lb short of 5st in just 15weeks so its the overall loss you should focus on but I do understand how disappointed you're feeling right now, the only consolation is that you'll feel better...

WOW it's the Monday Losers 4lb club this week!!! Well done Teapot & Yeye, brilliant results for you ladies. Not a nice way to be the lightest you've been in your adult life Squishy but hey, what the hell, well done and doesn't it feel just ace!!!!

Best of luck Monday losers, here hoping you are all really BIG losers tomorrow.

A BIG hank you to all who have commented on my weigh in result. I was sooo happy with my 5lb loss and now at least I know exactly what I weigh without water weight and I can compare to last time I did the diet so I'm not too far off my target now which I may just achieve for Christmas. I...

5lbs for me please BM. Laughing all the way to the shops for some SKINNY clothes :-)

Hey my first Saturday weigh in switching from a Tuesday night to a Saturday morning and since my last weigh in 3 days ago, I've lost 5lb!!!! Sooo happy as this brings me to just 3lbs away from 5st weight loss.

YEY!!! Well done BM, 3lb is a brilliantly consistent decent weight loss result, you must be sooo happy. You are going to be under 20st for Christmas....WOOOOHOOOO. Gone will be the 20s and hello the 19s...what a Christmas present that is!! Best of luck to you this week, looking forward to...

Yes I got fantastic comments. The disbelief of the people was quite amusing. One girl kept looking at me and saying, I can't believe it, I jusat can't believe it. Another said I looked Fab, somebody said Wow wow, someone said I look loads younger, told I looked glowing and healthy......just...

Aww thats rubbiish, you're having a terrible time and its heartbreaking to hear you've been crying all alone. Well good on ya for getting weighed and Saturday is my new weigh in day so we'll be weighing buddies :-) That 5lb gain is probaby fluid which you'll easily get rid of so don't fret...

Awwww poor you Kate. Well my advice is to get weighed asap and face your demons. If like me and most others, avoiding the scales in the past because of being scared at the result was a main contributor of my massive weight gain but now regardless, I need to know how I'm doing once a week so I...

Hey there Goose, your positive vibes are hitting me hard & fast.....I'm buzzing because I'm hosting & chairing a meeting for my oppos from across the North West tomorrow and I have 2 guest speakers coming and I've just picked out & tried on my outfit for tomorrow. Get this.....I bought a new...

Well done Natalie on your amazing 3lb of pure fat loss, you're really steaming ahead now and must be feeling the benefits of your weight loss. I also notice and applaud how much motivation & support you give to everyone on here, I think thats fantastic for us all to receive but also I think its...

Well done Mburke, 4lbs is brilliant, I'd kill for a 4lb loss right now!! Lol Wow can't believe you're almost at 4st loss, you seem to be just shrinking sooo fast, isn't it fab?? Bet everybody is noticing now. Best of luck for next week, I'm sure you'll get your 4st loss then xx

I've been on the diet for 15 weeks. My hair wasn't very thick to start off with but luckily it is long so I can disguise the thinning very well, nobody has noticed at all but I know.

Well if ever I needed a kick up my ass I just got it!!! Lol. Goose you're fantastic, thank you sooo much for bothering to take the time to write that great big post for me, I really do appreciate it and I totally agree with everything you've said. I feel sooo much better today, I'm sticking...

Now I do know that hair loss is one of the not so nice side effects of this diet from doing this diet 4yrs ago but it is still shocking when half of you head of hair is left behind in the shower!!!! My hair is so thin now and it's still coming out in handfuls everytime I get a shower and wash...

Wow well done Mburke, 4lbs is fantastic I'm sooooo jealous but really happy for you also x :-)

Thank you Jojo, I'm feeling a little more positive this morning. I just threw myself into my kitchen last night and did loads of baking and cooking and preparing foods for Christmas so it took my mind off things and I achieved a lot too so pressure off me for Christmas preparations. I'm going...

Hardly worth recording but only 1.5lb for me please BM :cry:

One word to describe how I feel about my result tonight GUTTED!!!! :cry::cry::cry: I can't believe I only lost 1.5lb. I was so shocked I got on and off the scales 3 times!!! What upset me even more is that when I got home, my hubby had his weekly weigh in on our electronic home scales and I...

Well done Misscolumbo, 1lb at your stage of weight loss is really good. The Pharmacist can't stop you losing weight by healthy eating so maybe do the refeed next week and it could be that the food boosts your metabolism and you could lose it faster than if you stayed on LT. Best of luck...

Best of luck Sabrina and have loads of fun despite being 100% as it can be done. You're only missing out on food & drink, the rest is all free to have in truck loads on LT so over indulge!!

Awwwww well done Goose, you're amazing and such an inspirational post for everybody to take note off. You truely are a star and a brilliant motivator to not only me but I'm sure everybody on here. How fantastic to be 8stone something!!!!! I could never be 8stone something but I am now fitting...

Well I'm just moving along the bus a bit, its not my stop yet!!

Awww thank you so much Goose, I can't believe I'm not too far away from my goal, bit scary too but I can't stay on the shakes forever!! Lol

I know, sorry I'm a little tinker!! Lol

Thanks for the praise Nina but I think it should have been directed to Yeye! Lol. I'll look forward to my praise tomorrow night hopefully ;)

Ha I know, sorry BM but was trying to think of something that would grab peeps attention and it obviously worked!! Lol xx. I also think its better because my goal weight is based on where I got to last time and I used to weig in on a Saturday morning so I will now have an equal comparison.

And so you should be......you've done amazingly well and I for one are justifiably proud of you!! It won't be long before you're half way there and then you're on the way down the mountain.

Yes I'm leaving..........the Tuesday Losers Club.........BUT.......I'm joining the Saturday Losers Club!!!! Tomorrow night is my last Tuesday weigh in and then I'll be weighed again on Saturday then weekly on a Saturday after that. The reason being is that I have a bit of a rushed struggle to...

WOW well done Teapot, that's an amazing loss in just 1 week and it not being the first week, brilliant result. Onwards and downwards for you m'lady!!! Yeye, CONGRATULATION.........isn't it fantastic to achieve 3 goals all in 1 sweep!!!! Totally brilliant and I reckon those 18s will be hanging...

Thank you ladies, I'm still in shock that I can get them all on but I'll not be wearing them for a few weeks yet as I'd rather they were comfortable than too tight but it's progress. It was only 3 weeks ago I was in this position getting into my size 12s and now they're starting to get quite...

I got into all my old clothes tonight and they're all SIZE 10!!!!!! I just cannot believe it. As we ladies all know, you can buy the same size in different shops & they'll all be different sizes and thats the same for my wardrobe of size 10 clothes BUT regardless, I got each and every garment...

Well done Moonagedaydream, 2lb is a good loss and you're almost at your goal which is fab x

Well done Ava, that's ace and I do think that 11st something is defininitely possible for Christmas if you're 100% TFR. Best of luck.

Yey found it.....going to pledge a whopping 17lb for my Christmas to try and achieve my goal of 10st 5lb. Thanks BM xx

Well its going to be a big challenge for me....hoping to get to goal so I'll be needing to pledge 17lbs!!! Lol

Christmas challenge????? What Christmas challenge???? I want to join in.....me me me me me please....where do I sign up?

WOWWWWWWWWW BM how fantastic are you and your weight loss??? Absolutely brilliant, really made me happy reading this, well done lady you're awesome. Also 4st in just 12 weeks.......what an amazing achievement. xxx

Well done and brilliant to hear you feeling so happy. Like BM, I take my hat off too you losing all that weigh with SW first, I found it impossible to shift any weight before I started LT end of August. I joined WW here in work at the beginning of this year and I was the only 1 person who...

WOW......totally awesome Sabrina, very well done to you. How are you finding the diet?

Not too bad Kate, jst wanted sooo much to reach my 5st 7lb loss by 18th Dec but thats unlikely now so just bit disappointed. I started off needing to lose 6st but put my target back half a stone so already feel like I've compromised so not hitting my target makes me feel like a failure...

Do we not have any Thursday losers anymore??? C'mon, lets see how you've all got on :-)

BM - thank you for your kind words and support. I really felt rubbish after my weigh in but I'm now just starting to get over it and look forward to next Tuesday weigh in x Nataliej - 3lb is a really great loss, well done and thank you for your kind words also x Maggie3333 - almost 9lb in...

Mburke - 2.5lbs.....yey well done lady that's great. Not long until your Christmas refeed. Ladykate - 4lbs...wow you're doing amazing...you keep having those big losses...I'm soooo happy for you but also a tad jealous :-) Natalia - 5lbs.....OMG that's brilliant, I used to have massive...

Lots of sympathy coming your way from me because I still get feelings of hunger and I've done14 weeks now!! It really makes it sooo much harder and I feel like I could just stuff my face at times as I feel so starving but I know that would make me sick. I do find that lots of hot peppermint...

Only 3lb please BM. x

Goose, I know how you feel, I've been there myself with a crappy weight loss after being soooo good and it's a killer. Nothing I say will make you feel better about it, time will however make you feel better so I just hope the time goes quickly for you so you can start to feel better. I have...

Misscolumbo, 2lb is a ally good weight loss considering how low your weight is but I do totally understand your point and think at the Pharmacist should be much more supportive of you. Hope they let you stay on it and get to YOUR goal and not THEIR goal for you. Best of luck for next week xx

Very well done Whirly, 4lb is fab. Good luck next week, you're doing great.

Well I totally sympathise with my friends who are upset with their weight loss this week because I am also not over the moon with mine either. I clocked in a measly 3lb this week which has really disappointed me because I feel like I'm not moving very fast at all now. I still have 1st 3lb to...

Well what a fantastic start to the week, well done Monday losers. Teapot, didn't I say you will lose more as you go along??? It's the overall weight loss you need to look at an now you're flying, brilliant, very well done and best of luck for next week. Squishy......Yey!!! at goal, that's...

Wow well done on 4lb & 4st weight loss Moonagedaydream,fantastic achievement.

Yes good luck to you all x

Well done Jmason, 8lbs is brilliant. How much do you have to lose and will you be staying 100% over Christmas like a number of peeps on this forum? Maybe updating your profile with your statistics would help us with knowing how much of a journey you have and how far you've come.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing BM, very well done to you, and also down into a new stone bracket. It doesn't matter how much we all have to lose and whether one person has more to lose than another, what does matter is being 100% and being supportive as well as supporting which is everything you...

Many thanks BM and likewise, thank you for all your support to everyone.

Thanks BM xx

WOW Mburke....how amazing are you?? soooo happy for you, you're doing brilliantly, really very well done to you xx. doesn't it feel unbelievable to say, oh these are a size 12!!! I can't believe its me saying that, its just so fab.

I will certainly share them with you, hopefully it will be jaw dropping.....heres hoping xx

Thank you Amar. Hi Ava, I'm now 11st 11lb. Have lost 4st 1lb in just 13 weeks, BMI now under 30, In size 12 and in the 11st bracket so these are the 4 mini goals I'd secretly set myself to achieve upon my return from holiday. It helped to keep me focused. Yes I plan to refeed for Christmas...

Hi Slimgem, so good to hear from you but sorry you have a medical issue to deal with. I think you've done pretty amazing to only put on 3lb, did you refeed properly or just stop the shakes? Have you been eating sensibly and healthily or have you still got some of the habits that pushed you to...

WOWZA Ladykate, how amazing are you?? I'm also just overweight now and not obese, doesn't it feel great?? I had a lot of daily backache before I lost weight, were you the same and has it resolved with the weight loss as mine has? Best of luck to you next week, you will definitely be 11st...

Kate I'm the same, wouldn't dream of posting underwear pics but I have been taking clothed pics which I still don't feel confident enough to share yet but I will be just before Christmas as I should be at goal or almost there. I agree with you Goose, it really is motivational and inspirational...

Hi Annie No I've not been set a time limit. I didn't even set a goal weight, I just signed up and said I'd decide what my goal weight would be nearer the time and I only last night said what my goal weight was. There is no pressure from my Pharmacy whatsoever to do anything, one of the...

I've had a number of rants on many differents threads on this theme so I won't labour my point. Basically I do not advocate weighing yourself at all, let alone a daily basis. I have never ever weighed myself and just wait till my official weigh in at the pharmacy because that is what counts as...

Oh ladies...do I really deserve all this adoration and praise......????? YES I DO!!! Lol Seriously, thank you all so much for the ongoing support, encouragement and motivation, together we all make a winning team. It feels just awesome to be throwing out my size 14s and slipping into my size...

Thank you so much :DSquishy, take a peek in our Tuesday losers thread, I've posted some achievements in there too

Awww thank you so much Nina, I'm sooo happy but I do still have a way to go so going to enjoy the praise tonight but it's back to the serious business of being 100% focused tomorrow for the last 4 weeks of my journey......I see the light at the end of the tunnel :D

Hi Maggie and welcome to the forum. This diet works 100% as long as you stick to it 100% but it is not the easiest to do and you will need cast iron willpower to be successful but you have all of us here rooting for you and here to support you so please just use us because you will need help or...

7lbs for me please BM for my double post holiday weigh in :D Thank you so much xxx

Post holiday weigh in for me tonight and now I can claim the following achievements:- * Now in a size 12 * Dropped into the 11st bracket * BMI below 30 * Total weight loss over 4st And all done in just 13 weeks!!! :eek:

-7lbs!!!!-

Goose, very well done on your 3lb loss. Misscolumbo...5lb...woohooo. So how do I get that tummy bug?? Lol. Size 8, get you. Really very happy for you, what a fantastic achievement and only 9lb away from your goal weight.

Yeah well done Suziepie, thats excellent and not far off a healthy BMI, awesome. Best of luck next week too x

I hope to have done even better after tomorrows double weigh in ;)

WOW what a difference.....you look amazing!!! Well done lady, you must be really enjoying that weight off you. I know that I'm really benefitting from losing weight as I had really bad backache daily but its now totally gone. Have people not recognised you or commented about how much weight...

Wow Nina, you look fab. What a difference just 6 weeks can make, you must be feeling really good.

Thanks Yeye, I downloaded it x

Well Nina, how good did you do this week???? Brilliantly, thats how good!! Very well done, its really encouraging when you have a big loss like that and only 1lb off a half stone loss in just 2 weeks.....6lb of pure fat you've lost, awesome. Yeye, still steaming ahead with your weight loss...

Hi Teapot, well done on your weight loss, be very proud of yourself you're doing great. Just look at your overall weight loss in just 4 weeks you'velost 18.5lbs which is over and above what LT promise which is 1st per month so you've smashed that!! In terms of LT and social situations, I've...

Ha absolutely love it, brilliant fight back answer lol xx

Awwww it's like coming home after being away at war.....such a lovely welcome, thank you so much ladies. Yes I really hope my weight loss is kind to me. I'll let you all into a secret, I'm now in a size 12!!!! Tried my new work trousers on today ready for back to work tomorrow and I'm in...

WOW what fabulous pictures, I'm renaming you now to Sexymcskinnyson :-). What a difference it's made, you look fantastic and not a hint of cellulite anywhere, well done lady. My weight loss pics show me fully clothed (not as brave as you) in 5 different outfits and are spaced 4 weeks apart. I...

Hi Yeye, what is Instagram and how do you get it? Looks like a great way to present my own weight loss pictures when I've completed this diet.

Well I've had a really fantastic week away chilling out beside the open fire every night in the middle of e countryside. Only did 2 relatively short, but steep, walks so hoping my weight loss won't have been compromised. I found the diet really hard whilst away because of cooking lovely food...

Awww Mburke, you've had such a rough time, I'm really sorry for you...HUGS xxx How dare that school teacher speak out of term like that, they get away with murder because they know your emotionally weaker when it's your child involved and not theirs!! You are doing something about your weight...

Well done Sabrina, 10lb is brilliant & exactly what I lost week 1. Just like BM, it took me a good 2-3 weeks before I really got into the swing of things but 13weeks down the line and I'm still going strong. Best of luck for your second week.

Very well done Ava, it is really hard and taking it one day at a time is a great psychological strategy, thats what I did initially then moved onto taking it 1 week at a time and here I am into my 13th week, hopefully after my double weigh in on Tuesday I'll only have 4 weeks left to refeed.

Welcome Teapot & very best of luck with your weight loss journey. As you already know, this diet works & works amazingly but it is notoriously hard to do. So keep logging on here & posting as it really will help keep you focused as I and many others have found.

Well done Yellowunbrella, 7lb (half a stone) in just 1 week, you must feel really happy. Good luck for week 2, keep focused.

Well done Moonagedaydream, 4lbs is a brilliant weight loss. What is your target weight, how far off are you?

Good luck today to all the Wednesday gang, may all your losses be big ones :-)

No but you need to have them regularly is what I meant to ensure that your body doesn't start going into starvation mode and also to help stop you getting hungry. Thats what happens to me if I don't have my shakes at regular intervals. I always have mine at 12:00 midday - 12:30pm then 4:00pm...

Well done everyone, some brilliant losses there and to thise who didn't lose as much as they wanted to, there's always next week. Remember the promise from Lipotrim is 1 stone per month. Looking forward to joining you in a double weight lost post next week, I should have been weighed tonight...

Best of luck Tuesday losers, sorry I can't join you this week but I'm rooting for you all and I'll be back next week with a double week weigh in result. :-)

Thanks ladies, I'm doing good. I think the fact that I only brought enough food for my hubby and the nearest shop is 16 miles away is helping to keep me 100%. Tomorrow would normally be my weigh in day so its going to kill me not knowing how I'm doing but nothing I can do, just have to be...

Yeye, so you should be happy, you're doing brilliantly and your cumulative loss is amazing, just 8 weeks and over 3st gone!! Totally awesome. Nina, take heart, just have a look at my stats & hopefully will give you enough motivation to continue, I know exactly how you're feeling right now...

Well the weekend is over & I'm on my last shake but we're here until next Saturday!!! Anyway I'm sure with the support on here I'll do ok, thanks Goose xxx

Well we've been in the cottage since yesterday and we have a roaring open fire & I brought chestnuts to roast for my hubby and I'm cooking all his meals but OMG it is sooo hard. I'm not going to cheat because it's just not worth undoing my hard work and I'm only 5 weeks & 2 days away from...

Yey well done Sam, thats fab.

OMG Todshar, when you say only 4.5lb to go for 8st loss, it just just hits you how unbelievable you are......what a fantastic achievement. You must be feeling absolutely amazing. You are such an inspiration to everyone and I'm so very happy for you. Just can't get over how well you have done...

Thank you x

Hey BM, when you're next updating the chart, could you change my number of weigh in's to 2 as I've actually had 2 (even though last weeks 0.5lb wasn't very much). Muchos thanks.

Kate that's bloomin fantastic girl......4stone, doesn't it sound mad!! I'm only 6lb off my 4stone loss which I hope to be able to report on my return from holiday in 2 weeks time. You don't have your stats up, where does that take you in terms of total percentage of weight loss and distance...

Yey!!!!! Well done BM, you're doing so amazingly well and I'm very proud of you. It's these smaller milestones along the way that really do help and dropping into new territory like the 200s and over 3st etc... it's absolutely fantastic. I also want to say that you are one of the most...

Thank you BM, I was absolutely delighted and it really lifted my spirits. I'm going away on holiday tomorrow for a week in a cottage in the middle of Wales, total isolation, it's going to be amazing and yes...I'm staying 100%!! Going to do a little bit of walking but not much as my OH badly...

Well done to you too Todshar, 3lb is a great result. Your progress is totally awesome and you really are an inspiration to us all.

Awww you poor thing, how awful. Hope you're feeling better now, at least all the goodness in the Lipotrim shakes will help you feel better soon. Best of luck this week.

Well done Mburke, brilliant loss and just shy if 3stone lost.

Yey 4lbs Astrantia.....well done to you. A fantastic cumulative loss too in just 4 weeks. Best of luck for next week.

Awww that's fab Mburke and just half a pound off 3st, you're catching me up lady!! Very well done to you, you're going to look amazing at Christmas, you should be a good 4.5st lighter than when you started, now how good does that sound?? Best of luck for next week x. I'm away for a week on...

Thank you so much everyone, its so rewarding after all the hard work to pull in a big loss, especially after a disappointing loss last week. Sandy38, you should be thrilled with 3lb loss. I equate every half pound loss to a half pound pkt of lard that you see in the supermarket fridges because...

Mechycton, totally agree with you. Lose skin is not a health risk.....fat is! I found last time I did this diet that swimming really helped to tone up all over and it's not a weight bearing exercise so kind to your joints too.

Well done j0j0, 8lbs is fab. Keep up the good work, best of luck for next week

6.5lbs for me please BM x

BIG DRUM ROLL..........DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAA 6.5lbs Loss for meeeee!!!! :D Yey for Microlax and drinking lots of water. Less than 2 stone left to lose now and my BMI is almost under 30 and I'm only 4.5lb of the 11s.....wooohooooo

Well done j0j0, you need to post this fantastic result in the Tuesday Losers thread if you weigh in on a Tuesday, that's where we all post our fantastic results.

Exercising could be your downfall as it was mine!! This diet is sooooo low cal that our bodies can sometimes drop into starvation mode if we push them too hard and it starts hanging onto the fat it has so maybe ease of the walking for a week and do as little exercise as possible, drink at least...

Soon2BeslimAli......9lbs yeyyyy brilliant result. It should hopefully get a bit easier for you now having your first weigh in is always a great boost and week 2 when you're fully in ketosis is not as bad as week 1. Best of luck for next week.

WOW Suziepie, 6lbs is phenomenal in week 3, many congratulations.

Hey Goose, 3.5lbs is fantastic, amazingly well done to you. Regarding your in-laws, they really don't seem like nice people at all...why bother with them? I wouldn't give them the time of day let alone go shopping with them. I'm sure you have loads of other lovely supportive family and...

Well done Nina22, thats fantastic and an amazing total of 2st. You'll probably be half way there in another 2 weeks, how god is that!! Good luck for next week, stay strong.

Yeye....yeah... You did great and 40lbs off is awesome, well done to you. Doesn't it feel great losing all that weight? Keep on going, you'll be at goal in no time at all. Best of luck for next week. Also very well done to you too Beckiieboop, 3lb of solid fat is a brilliant result. Just...

I can't wait to start exercising properly again, I really miss it but not willing to jeopardise my weight loss again by doing too much so only dancing once a week and the odd bit of a walk now and then. Will start swimming soon though because that's fantastic for all over body toning.

Music to my ears Noitulove, can't wait until I'm saying that..........don't want to lose anymore weight!!!! I've a long way to go yet before I can say that but I'm hoping after tomorrows weigh in It'll be not as far away as I think!! You're doing amazing and I bet the food tastes sooo much...

Hi Oxygen78 My advise is to stop weighing yourself! 200g is nothing and will probably just be fluid levels fluctuating which our bodies do a lot of. Ideally we should be looking at maybe a monthly weigh in although this would be too difficult to cope with. Also your own scales may alter from...

Good luck ladies on your restart. You know this diet works as long as you stick to the rules. It is incredibly hard but unfortunately we have ended up needing this drastic action so keep focused, keep logging in and get yourself a hot water bottle because it's going to be one of your best...

I'm definitely enjoying my smaller boobs so much more. Before I was a pair of massive boobs on some fat stumpy legs......now I have a shapely sillouette with proportioned curves in the right places and the best of it all...........I don't have any backache whatsoever now which is fantastic as I...

Hi Shell09 I've now been on the plan for 11 weeks tomorrow and I'm fast heading towards my size 12s as my 14s are really lose on me. I think every lady is the same having a wardrobe containing every size from 10s to 18s and onwards lol. This time I've binned my bigger clothes so no going...

Good luck to the Monday weighers, looking forward to seeing your results today.

I'm just a bit concerned about my body getting used to laxatives and not moving itself thats the only reason why I'm holding off. I will be taking the microlax tomorrow night if my body doesn't do it. I only seem to be moving once a week and only after Dulcolax or microlax so it is a bit...

Awww sorry I've not been around the last few days to offer support. Was at my salsa on Thurs, out to a Comedy Club night on Friday, out to friends last night & ended up in casual with my OH who fell out our friends door and down 4 steps and is now on crutches so didn't get to go walking today...

I've held off the Dulcolax & Microlax to give my body a chance to get things moving on its own. It hasn't been too successful despite my water intake being back up to scratch. I just hope that despite my troubles, I have a better weigh in on Tuesday than I did last week (only 0.5lb). I'm...

WOW. TOTALLY AWESOME......VERY WELL DONE X You must be feeling fantastic now, good on ya and best of luck for next week.

Confession here too!! Lol. Come Dine With Me, Jaimie Oliver 15minute Meals, Food Hospital, Adverts with food in!!! I got it bad lol

No you won't you'll just be in proportion to your new slinky slim size. I have an hour glass figure so I will always retain my curves, they'll just be smaller than I had before starting the diet......harmoniously in proportion to my overall size and weight! Be positive, losing weight is fab...

WOW many many congratulations Mburke, you have had an amazing result again. Well done to you and long may it continue to get you to goal asap. I love it when I can get my old clothes back on. I was bursting out of the biggest size 16 trousers I had and was needing to buy size 18s but started...

Yes and I'm happy about it. I was a 36HH starting this diet and now I'm a much happier 34G. I've still got over 2st to lose so I could reduce even further, maybe to a 34F if I'm lucky??

Awww you poor thing!!! I'm really sorry you can't continue. Did they say why you couldn't continue?? Would the diet cause you more problems if you stayed on it? Going to miss you on hear and hearing about your progress, hope it all goes well for you. When are you having your operation?

Awww that's rubbish, really hope you feel better soon. It's like a doctors surgery in our office with everyone coughing and spluttering. I just hope I can avoid it as it's hard enough to do this diet when you're not ill, never mind when you're poorly. Keep up the good work, you're doing fab...

Yes you can. I keep it for special occassions like Friday nights and have it in a wine glass so I don't feel left out!! lol

I'm soooo jealous and happy at the same time. Enjoy every morsel, you've really earned it!!! I really hope that you continue to maintain and and enjoy even more. Are you refeeding over 2 weeks as you've been on the diet for a long time or are you doing it over 1 week. Also will you be using...

Very well done, especially as you've been under the weather, it's rotten at the best of times doing this diet but when you feel poorly, it's even worse. You should be really proud of your loss, you're doing so well. Keep it up and best of luck for next week.

YEY!!! Brilliant, well done Mburke, that's a fantastic loss for this week. Getting half way is a great feeling isn't it?? I'm over half way and I'm just wishing away the weeks until refeed but more importantly, to being back in my size 10s!! Good luck for next week.

WOW how fantastic is that!!! Well done Noitulove, I'm so happy for you, you're awesome!!!

Thank you Goose and no...not offended in e slightest, we should be able to make light of these situations or else we'd cry!! Yes I'm hoping for a big loss next week.

Thanks for the tip Mburke, my hubby is going out to get me some. I feel so bloated and uncomfortable, its the worst part of this diet for me.

No problem Noitulove, I had a rubbish 0.5lb loss anyway x

Wasn't going to post this as it's so rubbish but 0.5lb only for me please BM x

Well as I predicted, terrible result for me tonight, only lost 0.5lb!! :cry: I know why, not been drinking my water, in fact hardly drank at all in the last week since it went cold. Also had real problems with my system (7 days without movement) and had to take a Dulcolax last night which...

Well done Natalie, 5lb is ace. You're storming away. Best of luck for next week.

Well how brilliant is our Tuesday losers doing today??? Absolutely fantastic, well done everybody. Misscolumbo, congratulations, you have done amazing and to be almost 8 stone something is just fab. Sandy38, 7.75lbs again is a brilliant loss, you must not have had that much water loss so...

So...I thought at maybe we could, as a forum team, come up wi some top tips to help get us through the festive period without putting weight back on for those who will be eating and staying 100% for those remaining on TFR throughout the festive period. I will annotate this first post with...

Very well done Beckieboop, looks like you managed to escape your blip unscathed. Your total loss is really great too, keep at it lady. Nest of luck for next week.

Sounds perfect. I'm going back swimming this week, really need to start toning us as I'm over half way to my goal.

Yes well done Patricia32, 3lbs is a great loss. Wishing you well on the rest of your journey and hope the problem resolves.

Aww thank you BM, I hope so too but won't be too disappointed if its not great because I know that next week I'll have a big loss. Thanks for the tip Shediver, I'll bear it in mind. The Dulcolax do normally work but I've only taken 1 instead of 2 today so I hope to be feeling better tomorrow...

Its been 6 days since my system was last on the move and that only happened as a result of taking 2 Dulcolax which gave me really bad pains and the runs....all whilst I was in work!!! I've now had to take 1 tablet this morning which is agains the prescribed way to take it as they say take it at...

Awww you poor thing, that sounds like you've had a terrible time, that's awful!! Sounds like abuse to me, total mental and verbal torture, it's totally unacceptable behaviour and especially from someone who allegedly loves you!! I'm wondering if he's feeling a little insecure and threatened...

Have you finished it??? I thought I still had until tomorrow as it's still October til Wednesday???

WOW Squishy, you're doing fab, very well done to you. I can't wait to be doing the same and losing the last 10lb or whatever by healthy eating and exercise.

1st one at 12 midday, 2nd one 4pm, 3rd one 9pm

I now have to wait another hour for my first shake!! Not happy :sigh:

I'm just going to eat healthy 6 days a week and have a treat tea on a Saturday night and CONTROL MY PORTION SIZES!!! I've been cooking healthy meals for my family whilst I'm on TFR so it should be easy to just continue. I also now buy as much organic food as I can which I know is more expensive...

Can't wait to hear how it goes, I bet she'll be totally gob smacked...but in a good way of course! What a great treat for yourself, having your hair done, bet you'll feel a million dollars. X

Yes indeed I have hence I'm a bit of a couch potato at the moment apart from my salsa dancing on a Thursday night but even then I take it easy and don't do,as much dancing as I normally would or want to.

Yey....you'll be hitting the 17s before you blink! I've been struggling recently and feeling so sorry for myself but since Monday this week, I've been feeling so much better and feel more positive. It could be that I'm a little over half way now & I can almost see the light at the end of the...
