Thanks summer, and may I say your photos are unbelievable. You were pretty before but you´re gorgeous now! Well done you! Day 3 and I´ve been as good as gold! looking forward to a sandwich tomorrow! I continued having tuna salads for my meals yesterday and today at lunch then this evening I...

Hey everyone - just want to say goodbye as I´m on reefed. I´m determined to stay on track and to keep losing so if anyone´s looking for me you´ll find me in refeed first followed by maintenance. Very best of luck to you all on your ongoing lipotrim journeys. An especially big bye & thanks to...

Hi everyone, I´ve been on TFR since 1st May and have decided to start refeed today as I have weddings and holiday coming up. I´m so sorry to break my stride as I feel I´m doing well and another 3 weeks of TFR would have me looking and feeling great but hey - there´s a big improvement so I´m...

Hi girls, I just started refeed today as I want to follow it to the letter. I too have two weddings to go to and holidays coming up so I cannot carry on with tfr. When is it ok to drink alcohol?

Hiya Tanya, How are you feeling Pet? Still dizzy? How´s refeed going? Fill me in!! xx

Hi everyone, I´m working in Germany this week and it´s a killer staying out of those bakeries! I´m ridiculously constipated and I forgot to bring supplies with me and haven´t had a chance to go to the chemist here. But anyway - started refeed today. Just had a tuna salad. It was nice, but not...

Tanya - I made you a little ticker so you could see how far you've come...amazing progress!!!

Holy moly Tanya - I've just got my calculator out and added up your loss... 34 and a half! a half pound shy of 2 and a half stone in 6 weeks! That's amazing - well done you!! You'll be at goal in no time, How are you feeling? Big Congratulations!

Hi there everyone, So I reached my target for this week - down another 4lbs - chuffed! I'm only doing tfr for another 5 days and then I have to refeed due to going to weddings and holidays. As I said earlier, i just wish I'd started earlier as I'm on a roll and I could easily keep going - ah...

Welcome Kimby and best of luck! I think ketones kick in on about day 4. The first couple of weeks can be tough so keep busy but after a while it just becomes second nature and it becomes really quite easy. Peppermint tea is my saviour - love the stuff! I also think it's really motivational to...

Hey there everyone, I have to say I'm really in my stride now - it isn't costing me a thought. I'm really noticing it in my clothes and am feeling much better. I just wish I'd started three weeks earlier as I'm really on a roll now. Ah well. For anyone in the first 3 weeks, I'd say stick with it...

Welcome back - look forward to reading your posts!

Willow hun, how are you feeling - just noticed about the dizziness and stuff - has it passed? Hope you're feeling much better. You're doing amazingly, I can totally understand our reluctance to refeeding while you're on this roll. I'm a chocolate girl too. cannot stomach the other flavours...

Come back Emma! xxxxx

Tanya, I know what you mean about it being the longest 5 weeks of your life. For the first 4 weeks I literally put my life on hold and I went to bed as early as 7pm so I wouldn't get bored & eat. I've made up every excuse under the sun not to socialise, eat with people. But I've no regrets, on...

Hope you're feeling better hun and have a lovely weekend with your boyfriend xx

Well done - that's amazing!! good for you!

Hi Tanya, I'm basically learning how to run - that may sound daft, but I want to, while I'm on lipotrim really come up with a proper healthy plan on how to live my life after lipo. Realistically that means, weighing in regularly, eating healthily - combined with maintenance, and exercise. I...

Hey everyone, I started with a personal trainer today - she was horrified about lipotrim, but I felt that I had to tell her. Anyway, I've told her that my mind is completely made up and I will be continuing with lipo until I'm in the 12 stone bracket. After she accepted that - it was really...

Well done Tanya, that's brilliant loss - you're just short of 2 stone in 5 weeks? wow that's incredible! Good for you - you must be feeling fantastic! Congratulations! :-)

Great idea - can you put me down for 14 please! thanks a million!

Hey Tanya, How's the form? Sorry to hear about the toothache - hope you're feeling better. Very best of luck tomorrow, be looking forward to hearing how you get on! xx

Don't want to be negative or anything but I'd advise you to not to expect or hope for toooooo much as it might be very disappointing if you don't achieve that - I don't want you setting yourself up for a fall. 12lbs weight loss is absolutely huge - especially for someone whose bmi isn't even...

Well done Lisa, now keep it up and you'll be a skinny malinky in no time!!

Mary - I almost gave up last week after only losing a measly pound but then lost 7 this week so fear not it'll show next week and you are doing amazingly!!

Sometimes little things can prevent you from ketosis something that may seem harmless, a chewing gum, a slice of lemon in your water, minty mouthwash - you sure you've been completely 100%. I had a very disappointing week last week (1lb) but then lost 7 this week so stick with it - it really...

Thanks Tanya & Dolphin xxx

Hi David, you're doing great, well done you for going to Slane - I'm avoiding social occasions as much as possible. Do you have to refeed in a couple of weeks? I have to in 4 and I wish I didn't I'm on a roll now and I'd rather keep going until I got to goal - but it would ruin other people's...

Hey Tanya, How's it going? So you're over half way there - wow! go you!! I've just had a very good weigh in today so am thrilled - was thinking about you and your great loss after your disappointing week and hoping to emulate your success! Hope you're doing well! xxx

You're doing great Hannah, 19lbs in 4 weeks - that's so brilliant - same as me in fact!! I'm really only noticing it in my clothes etc. in the last day or two - I think in about 10lbs I'm really going to look and feel much better. How are you feeling emotionally after the break up and...

Sorry I haven't been on - had a hectic week. Had to go to a work dinner on Thursday - told everyone I was having bloods taken the next morning and had to fast. Got loads of sympathy - and flowers from my boss the next day - felt so guilty for lying, but I just really don't want to discuss or...

Well done Tanya! That's brilliant - delighted for you! So, how far along in your journey are you now? How come you don't have a ticker - There's great satisfaction in seeing progress on them! Anyway - big huge well done and keep it up!

Hannah - very best of luck tomorrow! xx

Wow, you're doing amazingly David! Incredible...and you're nearly under 30 bmi - woop woop!! Great diary!

Leluna and xlisx, wow go you two! Lis - I'm so impressed that you've stayed the same week nad that you're still staying on the thread - I think that's key. Everyone here is encouraging and knows what it's like to hate the way you look enough to do something this drastic about it and there are no...

Day 24. Had a great day today. Feel really positive and full of energy. I think before while dieting (there have been hundreds) if I ever had a set back, I gave up and subsequently felt really s**t. I'm so delighted that I'm putting the slow week behind me and my little blip in perspective. Back...

Ah Hannah, I'm sorry to hear about your break up. You ok? Keep at this, for yourself (and for us!) If you need a treat / cheering up ...go buy yourself a nice glossy magazine and pick out clothes that you'll buy when you're at goal! Loads of hugs! XOXOXO

Tanya & Perfectxmess (c'mon tell us your name!!) Thank you girls, your support means a lot! Tanya, keeping everything crossed for you for Thursday!

So, what I suspected would happen happened and I lost a measly pound. Disappointing, for sure, but it taught me a very valuable lesson...I CANNOT EAT ANYTHING even an egg! So, onwards and upwards. I WILL stick to it 100% this week and I WILL get into the 13s next week! I'm determined and when I...

You look fabulous! Thanks for showing us your pics and helping to keep us motivated. xx

Day 22 in the lipotrim house. Rebeccah is tearing her hair out! No, not really! My life as I knew it is completely on hold. I stayed in last night wrapped up in a blanket, with my large bottle of evian watching recorded episodes of grand designs back to back - wild!! (sky plus is my new best...

Lisa, you ok? Get back on the wagon if you fell off again! You know you'll be glad if you do! xx

Mary, Your kids won't remember this short little bit of mood swings but they will remember their energetic, slim mum who will be playing football and running around with them and their confident Mum who looks great! You're doing brilliantly, just keep it up for another few weeks! Rebeccah x

Hiya perfect mess, I'm feeling apprehensive I guess is the best way to describe it, waiting to see if the egg that I ate affects it. I really am struggling mentally this week. You're doing great! My weigh in is on Monday so fingers crossed I'll do ok - I was 14st 3lbs last week and I really want...

Sooz, the first few days are the worst...I found going to bed early really helped! Welcome and very best of luck!!

Ok so I don't feel so bad. Had to weigh it up and just draw a line under it and move on. I really need to lose weight for my confidence so I'm back on the wagon - isn't that 'egg'cellent?? sorry, shocking joke! But that's it I've decided to become stricter about not socialising or being around...

Hey perfect mess! or whatever your name is... :-) I'm on day 19 and I really struggled yesterday too - but am feeling stronger again today. I think with this, it's so extreme, it's bound to be hard at times. I've written about putting my life on hold too and avoiding people. People can be so...

Emma, well done, that's incredible! Brilliant! Tanya, try not to be discouraged, it might be fluid etc. it'll show next week! Keep it up girls!

I cannot believe that only yesterday I said there was no way I'd eat for the month of may - I just had a bit of scrambled egg! I really, really hope it won't set me back too much. But OMG it was de-fooking-licious!!! Anybody know if eggs set you out of ketosis? I looked them up and it says...

So today I went on a good walk - 45 mins brisk pace. Proud of myself. I also stayed up till now and whoa! tough - going to bed early is much easier; think I'm going to stick to my early nights for another while. I'm not ready to be downstairs and not having a little snack! Weird, it was my 17th...

Hi Emma & Tori, Thanks so much for that great advice. I looked up couch to 5k - looks very doable, cool. Thanks girls, I need to get up off my (still) fat ass! I had heard it was inadvisable because of energy, but I realise now that's just an excuse - need to stop being lazy and change old...

Hi Emma, Just wondering about exercising. I haven't done a thing - been literally going to bed with a a magazine and laptop every evening at about 8 - (I kid you not!) removing myself from temptation! But I've been doing it 2 weeks now and feel I'm in a routine now and that the worst is behind...

Su, you've done sooooooo well. Keep thinking of yourself in those loose fitting size 14s looking and feeling amazing. Stick at it for May & June (really not long in the grand scheme of life) and you'll feel so much more confident and happy in yourself...you deserve that! Keep us posted - I have...

Happy Birthday Catherine, glad you enjoyed your week and about going back on the wagon ...you can do it hun!!! Remove yourself from temptation as much as possible - treat yourself to a new book or magazine to engross your self in. Have peppermint tea in stock. You're doing so well, keep at it...

Lisa, well done, that's brilliant weight loss!!. Really well done! xx

Hi everyone, Had my second weigh in today - 5lbs. I'm happy but not ecstatic. The first time I did this diet the weight fell off faster - what's changed? Is it just that I'm older? That my body has somehow gotten used to the diet? But either way 11lbs is good weight loss in 2 weeks, faster than...

Emmie and Tantan - keep up the great work. Emmie, have you tried peppermint tea - it's my saviour! wish me luck for my weigh in tomorrow xx Rebeccah

Emmie, Thank you so much for your encouragement - really appreciated. Weigh in tomorrow - hopefully I'll do well. Have stuck to it 100%. xxx

Well done Lisa! You're doing great and helping to keep me motivated too - thanks!

Thanks for the welcome Emmievic - and good for you for restarting! we'll get there! So my goals May: Get into the 13s Give my size 18s and tunics (tents) to the charity shop Stay strong and stick to TFR 100% Make up excuses to not have to go out for dinner (do not want to hear people's...

Hi everyone, I have to say I'm delighted to find this site - what inspirational stories and motivation. I too did lipo 4 years ago and lost 4 stone and felt fantastic - however, I've put it all back on gradually and another half stone for good measure! So, here I am back on the journey. I...

Weight Loss - Diet Ticker me neither - weigh in for week two tomorrow!
