Hi did 2 weeks in January 12, & got a stone and at half off... 4 lbs have crept back on so starting Again today. Having an ankle operation soon and need to get as much off as I can which will help with the rehab. Got 4 stone to lose x

13 lbs ! V happy.. but have started the re- feed programme today of 2 shakes a day and protein and salad or veg for the next week. My cravings were too bad.. But I have now switched over to the re-feed board.x

Only 50 mins to go and home time whoopy. I have been reading a magazine the last 30 mins and almost wanting to lick the recepies on the cookery pages. Tweezer, can I ask what do you think is behind your weight gain. Is it emotional? can you remember a time when you were happy with the way you...

Thanks Hun, Im minded to do the same. I start my week 2 on Sunday so tomorrow is my final day of week 1 and light at the end of the tunnel ! A new dress size is absolutely fantastic !!!! What an achievement in a week. That is seriously good going. Just think if you were following a...

Just an idea and a bit of fun, but has anyone thought about getting a pin board to help with this journey? You could cut out pictures of clothes or hairstyles you like, a model that you admire, a dress or suit that you want to wear for that special event. I think I may try it. You could put all...

Day 4 Hi Kate .. I was exactly the same.. In fact I think day 4 was probably my hardest. You will be in ketosis before you know it. Just keep digging in deep and you'll get there... find lots and lots of distractions. I have decided to do a "Visualisation board" of things I've cut out, clothes...

Just wondering what times you all generally have your shakes? Do u notice it effects your energy levels Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Day 6... Been cooking for oh & freezing stuff... V strangely it hasn't made me hungry & smell of food hasn't bothered me or made my mouth water! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hey Hun, thanks for your post. How are you doing today? I've been cooking for OH and step son (10) as I'm on late shifts this week & he can't cook!! Must admit the smell of food didn't bother me at all. I made batches of stuff & put in the freezer... I also thought that when I finish my LT at...

Day 6 Only 1/2 pound down this morning.. So starting to slow down but that's 11.5 lbs in 6 days so far. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact I had 2 plain scrambled eggs yesterday and therefore consumed about an extra 100 cals...Did a keto test last night and am still in...

Hey Tweezer.. How is week 2 going?

Weeing! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I'm on day 5 and in Ketosis and I ate 2 small scrambled eggs about ten mins ago. I'm just soooo tired & need some energy. Will it affect things & have I blown it? X Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

What have I done?? I finished work last night at 10 pm & was soooo tired but couldn't sleep so I took 2 sleeping tablets. This morning I feel lethargic from the tablets still & needed some energy so I scrambled 2 small eggs and ate them... Feel v guilty now and hope it didn't take me out of...

Hi Hun, It will go between days 4-5 but everyone is different. I was the same. If you're getting cold, have you tried the chicken soup as something warming, or a weak black tea? Keep up the great work... I know it's hard but it will be worth it... Just dig in !!! You'll be so happy at the end...

Day 5. I know they say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day, but that's me, and I need to see physical numbers on the scales so another 2 lbs off this morning which now equals 11 lbs.. Furry/ tinny feeling in mouth has now gone and I do not feel hungry anymore. I think I took a v long time...

Thanks Hockeynut.... Yes I'm the same with photos. I actually get really funny with people if they try and take it. Have been like that for years. X Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Yippeee I am finally in ketosis !! I was sad and bought a tub of sticks from the chemist- really cheap. I peed on one this morning and nothing.. just sneaked another one this evening on the toilets at work (Felt like I was doing a pregnancy test) and I am finally there yippeeeee !! Bye Bye...

Sorry ! I was too heavy to do a sky dive and the L.T got me down to the heaviest weight I could be to do the jump...and I did it and it was the best feeling in the world... I've spentbtoo much of my life sat on the side lines, but I appreciate that you can really get stuck in a rut sometimes...

I get that wearing the headphones is like wearing a mask.... But... Life is short. Very short... I was too heavy last year to do a sky dive. I wentbon the L Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Tweezer... Start a blog or diary on the diary section. Post EVERYTHING you feel. I started mine today. That way we can keep in touch and spur each other on! I have a chalk board in the kitchen and write down how many days I have left of this (27) ... I have about 4 stone to lose in total and...

You're absolutely right... Sometimes I can't even think beyond the next day so split my day into three and plan what I'm going to do in between. I think once we're well into Ketosis ( which you should be by now) you'll hopefully stop thinking about food so much..... I'm on late shifts this week...

Day 4 Just been to Boots having discovered that I quite like the Chicken soup and got 7 sachets for my dinner this week. It means that I can also sit at the table with my OH and be sociable. I liked the idea that someone on here posted you can put chilli flakes in it... Mouth is very very dry...

Well done Hun!! That is AWESOME !!! What an amazing result... How long you doing it for? X Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hey Hun, You can do this... We ALL feel like this from time to time, but remember the reason WHY you're doing this... Visualise how you want to look or keep thinking about that special occasion..... I got so desperate just now I re- arranged the Tupperware cupboard and put all the lids...

Well said !! The amount of times I've heard people say... Ohhh that's really dangerous... Be careful ,, tsk Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I'm a repeat offender to LIpotrim TFR and initially did it back in August before I got married. I lost about a stone, but my wedding dress was still a size 16-18. I liked some of the wedding photos but in the majority of them I wanted to cry I looked so enormous. My OH is a big guy ( about 23...

Good luck Hun, I'm the same as you... I did LT for the first time in Aug and lost 12 lbs. I only did it for a week and didn't follow the re- feed so I re- gained a phenomenal amount back x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Just wanted to say Thank you... I stuck with it and lost another 3 lbs this morning. That's 9 in 4 days so actually quite shocked... Thank you all for being there x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

On day 4.... 9 lbs down yesterday was a v hard day! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thanks Bubbles but I'm at work so I would look a bit strange if I suddenly started clening my teeth.. How are you getting on this week? are you feeling better now and are you in Ketosis?

Im having a difficult day. I have tins of sweets and cake left over in the office and i'm at work until 10 pm tonight. I had my shake at 5.30 pm which was maybe a bit too early. When will I stop feeling so hungry? Maybe I did too much exercise today... also I feel quite cold? I AM going to do...

Hi Anya My only advice would be to be a bit careful. I did a spinning class this morning and felt very light headed afterwards, bearing in mind the women are on 500 cals per day roughly I would advise to to it in moderation as I've learnt my lesson this morning.... What's everyone else's views...

Hi ! Started on the 1 St too... So far 7 lbs down ... Struggling to drink my water and I have breath like a foxes arse... I want to lose 2 stone on L.T and then intend to go on to Weight watchers after my re- feed. Happy to buddy up. On day 3 now, which is generally one of the hardest. I,m...

Thanks Mini... They say the first 3-4 days are the hardest... Day 3 nearly here

Hi I see a few people have spoken about Keto sticks but failing that, how will I know when Im in it... And how many days does it take? I'm at the end of day 2... And also when will my cravings go away? Thanks guys... X

Hey Bubbles, Sorry to hear youre not feeling too good today.. I felt a bit light headed in the town earlier today, but as soon as I had my flap jack it seemed to help, even though it tasted like dog poo... I've been trying to distract myself by ironing again tonight, plus I took the tree down &...

Yes I'd like that... Have you tried the chicken soup? I'm a veggie & wondering what it's like or if it's safe to have !! I really find that a weak black tea helps me too when I want something hot inside me... Or a hot bubble bath

Honk day 2 !!

He's beautiful

I'm on day 2 here Hun... We're all behind ya x

Hi All hope your day is going well?just a quick question... Are you allowed to exercise on LT and does it accelerate the weight loss? I have booked in for a spinning class tomorrow morning, and just wanted your views... I Went to Boots this afternoon and it was open so I grabbed 2 weeks worth...

We all fight with our inner from time to time. Just keep focussing on THAT outfit, or how you will look & feel when you get to goal... One day at a time. Don't go thinking about no food for weeks in advance or you'll go crazy... Order yourself something on line or book a treat.... I have my...

Whoops! Sorry... Just home after an hours dog walk.. Cravings gone but mouth v dry... Can't believe you were once a size 28. That's incredible !

Just played monopoly! All I can think about is food & wanting beans on toast... Off to take the dog out!! How do I put u on my buddy list? Maybe I don't have enough rights yet?

Great!! Do you weigh yourself daily or at the end of each week. I found that last time it really helped seeing the scales go down daily & helped with the motivation! I am planning to distract myself with Ironing Tidying drawers Having a spring clean Walking the dog Lots Heading to the gym...

Yup count me in too. I m currently 225 lbs and would like to get to around 200 by valentines day... I'm only on day one today... Hubby and step son are sat in the kitchen eating cheese on toast and it's awful sat here having to smell it !!

Hey bubbles, it's a plan... I will stick it out with you until I lose 2 stone too, then back to Ww so I can follow a sensible eating plan. Do you have any goals in the next few months? I have a birthday in Feb, and Valentines day and it would be nice to get into a nice dress again without...

Hi there! Seems like we're looking for the same goal , and are around the same weight if u fancy a buddy? I'm soo sick of food after Christmas & New Year. I followed LT before & lost 11 lbs in a week BUT I didn't follow the re-feed programme properlyand gained it all back & more .. X

Happy New Year! This is my 2 nd time of doing LT TFR.. I want to try & shift about a stone and a half & then get straight onto Weight Watchers , so aiming to do this for the next 3 weeks.. I have 4 stone to lose in total.. Looking for some support & someone to buddy up with...... Very...

Hi There! I'm starting on 1 St January too.. I have about 3 stone to lose in total, and really need as MUCH support as possible ! Maybe we can buddy up? I did LT back in August... I only stuck it out for one week, but I did lose 11 lbs xx

Well I started on Saturday last week. I am only at the start of day 4 and have lost 7 lbs !! I know they say you shouldn't weigh every day, but I find I need the motivation of seeing those numbers drop each day. Is anyone else like that ?? :o

Well, I've decided to bite the bullet. Today is my first day of LT TFR.... I'm getting married in 4 weeks one day, and have joined for some support.... I'm hoping to get a stone and a half off? But anything more than a stone is a bonus!! Anyone else getting married soon? Need a bridal...
