Hope you got off to your start, it's very hard to commit isn't it you can always find that event or dinner next weekend and convince yourself I'll start after!! It's 11 weeks this weekend till our holidays so excited I cannot wait!

1st week done and dusted and I was down 5.3kgs which the pharmacy advised rounded out to 12lbs! Delighted the aim is to have 6 more weigh ins hopefully I can tough it out that long!! 7week goal 2st 7lbs! (35lbs) Left 1st 9lbs (23lbs)

Jess That is an amazing loss for 4 weeks! I would love to get 3 stone off in 7 weeks so you just gave me hope :thankyouthankyou:!! RoRo It is funny isn't it how crazy you feel at the start ... I like to smelly my hubbies food, torture I know but it just smells so good after the LT fuzzy month...

Ah thanks Laura, that's great to know. I was torn between the risk of getting pregnant obese so want to lose weight but then wondering if that would cause any issue getting pregnant or for baby. We haven't tried at all yet but I want to give myself the best chance with the least risk. X maybe LT...

Guys just wondering I noticed on the LT signup form a questing if you plan on being pregnant within 3 months, I am not necessarily planning but in September we intend to stop activally preventing and I am just wondering is there any risk to me or baby in getting pregnant potentially 1 after...

Laura, you really shouldn't be beating yourself up ... Your weight loss is the average LT says for each month, at the end of the day we all have lives and commitments which lead to days you have to eat to not look like a totally odd ball. I think if these off days for a genuine reason they...

Oh my got its not just me watching food videos like they are porn lol ... It's really satisfying though! RoRo how are you managing a few weeks in now? Hope your getting on good! I'm hoping the weeks fly in for me!

Laura if you are still around after 7week then that is a success even if you have had wobbles! Well done. Teapot that's exactally how I feel the time is right I just cannot seem to make the right choices on other diets, this just takes the thinking out of it! Day 4 and I'm shockingly doing good...

It's been a few years since I successfully used Lipotrim, but the weight has crept back on (bad lifestyle choices) so I decided to break the habits and sign on for TFR I am hoping to do 50 days to August 1st then refeed for over a month for holidays in Sept! I love to hear everyone else...

Don't beat yourself up, I'm in the same boat faltering over the weekend but hey life happens its just about getting back on track. You haven't let it push you out of the routine fully so you'll be grand it might not even register fingers crossed. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Day 1 Yesterday was day 1 and it felt great .. I was working from home so I had a good day to get my head into the zone .. Few little pangs of desire but nothing major. I didn't so great with the water intake only 1.5lts though I did drunk tones of coffee, black and green tea! I have to say I...

Hi all, Again I'm back to LT as I have spiralled out of control ... It's nearly a relief to not have any choices ... Just drink drink drink my water and shakes and wait (with crossed fingers!) to lose the pounds! I loved LT the last times I did it so I'm looking forward to a few weeks of...

Ok it's been a while since I've kept myself up to date ... So the last two weekend have been a bit on the bold side ... Including 1 take away, 2 bottles of wine, a chocolate bar, a beer and jelly sweets at a birthday party ... Naughty I know i was good on the week days and did extra pp days but...

Thanks guys ... Staying positive for sure I'm just finding it so good on Dukan I feel like I can get on with life, when on other diets I just spent all day obsessing with what I could eat next but I have got into the swing of a few Dukan stables and they are keeping me happy out! 8 weeks till...

Ok so its not pay day till midnight on Thursday so i shall be staying away from the shops and making the best of fridge, freezer and cupboards! Oh the poverty of it all!

I know chickens of the world should run in fear!! I have to say the peppers at lunch were delish .... I only had aout 1/2 a pepper with me cause I wouldnt previously have been that bothered on the taste .. but I tells you I was near to licking my lunch tub! Can I over do it on veg .. like in...

I’m defo noticing with the dukan its a fail to prepare .. prepare to fail ideology! For the work dilemma, if you have a mirco its grand! I make double what I am having for dinner and bring it with me (in old takeaway tubs .. small reminder of why my butt is huge! lol) For brekki I have been...

Defo painful ... I've never felt anything like it I vomited form the pain it was so sudden and I couldnt pin point for the doctors where all I could do was cry scary! Thankfully I've had no more attacks ... I'm hoping being in Ketosis again doesn't bring it back! Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks Jojo and Passion ... I'm happy out do far this evening was a little testing as Friday is usually dinner out and I'm still on attack so I didn't think I could manage it this week ... But I'm scoping out the best options now for next Friday cause I want life to still go on as normal...

Luckly it's not like tummy crapms or a shock and run to the loo situation so its not too bad! :o Well I suppose I might like the whoosh fairy ... she must be clearing out my insides, hopefully that will mean i lose plenty lol! No I actually have only added sweetner to the muffins, i drink my...

So sorry to ask this but ive had 2 full days of diarrhea, not huge amounts but everytime I use the loo I get the urge to go. Has any one experienced issues like this on attack?:sigh: Sorry to be gross but it's like a dark colour and oily/grease in texture? :eek:

Sounds fab .. Yummy I have turkey mince in the fridge how did you do the turkey balls? (sounds naughty! ;-) ) I have to admit all the cooking is wrecking my head .. I'm not very imaginative and lazy .. Hence the 15st of lard I've become takeaways were the easy way out! I'm hoping to break the...

Hiya, I'm a serial dieter ;-( and lost 2 n a half stone in six weeks last summer on LT .. But sadly put it all back on .. Have to say knowing how awkward shakes are and how no food limited social activities etc Dukan seems great so far I'm just finished day 3 and I have 3+ lbs gone already so...

Day 3 I baked the muffin last night, it was a bit of a mismatch of recipies I found and the ingridents I actually had! 4 table spoons of Oat Bran, 2 table spoons of wheat bran, a tea spoon of baking powder, 1 egg yoke, a dash of almond essence, 6 tablwe spoons of fat free yogurt and a splash...

Day 2 - Final Food Diary B: Oat Bran Porridge, poured in hot water coloured with S.Milk once absorbed I added a FF yogurt. L: Gound Turkey - dry fried some onion and garlic, added the turkey and 1 lt of water and left to cook through (I did skim off any fat I seen juts to be sure). Heated up...

Yeah I'll be binning the lot as my hubbies doesnt eat yogurts, which kills me as money is tight! I do like a flavoured yog as a treat though .. so I might have to bit the bullet and pay, in the long run it might be cheaper than buying differnt brands and recking the diet! I am very confused yog...

Day 2 Pottering along now .. feels a bit odd as I havent felt craving for 'bold' food or hunger, spending lots o time on here reading loving everones posts (really should do some work hehe). B: Oat Bran Porridge, poured in hot water coloured with S.Milk once absorbed I added a FF yogurt. L...

Thanks! Doh I should have thought more before picking them up ah well you live and learn! Yeah I think I might invest in the dukan flavourings I'll have a look into them!

Morning All, Sorry the questions begin, I bought yogurts last night in Aldi as I seen fat free but I started to mix one to my oat bran and hot water this moning and noticed pieces of fruit, are these allow during attack (or cruise for that matter!) So far I juts picked around the actual fruit...

That sounds yum .. I best get out n buy some muffin moulds cause that would be great for brekki on the go in particular! How long are you Dukan'ing now? Sounds like ur a fan an it's working for you! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

No that is all news me thanks ... And great ideas ... I didn't know they did Dukan flavourings etc ... I signed up late night like a do r die thing at 11 pm so I haven't really looked at the website yet! I think I have loads to learn once I get the attack over it seem like there are loads of...

Thanks Pauline, will do even if I don't get hunger munches I suspect I will need to eat something while my hubby is have a cuppa n a bikki to feel included even if it's a bowl of bran lol! Although I was looking at the cookie recipe on the website with vanilla essence looks great for a wee...

I only ever eat the whites ... Not a fan of the yoke ... Suits the PP great too! Not very exciting but filling so it'll keep me happy till I can have a good loom around and plan so nice tasty meals like everyone else on here! It's lovely to see all the options I was a bit scared it would be a...

Thanks for the welcome! Thanks for the advise on the oat bran I was just looking at the bag thinking hmmm ... The plan is I will keep it for the evening when I get the munches the worst .. Is this ok? I'm currently resurrecting my black coffee habit that got me though LT .. Ah yellow teeth...

Day 1 B: hard boiled eggs - whites only L: turkey breast S: 0% yogurt D: ? Curried chicken breasts Have to try oat bran but I have no idea what way to try it first. Having done Lipotrim before I have to say this seems fine so far ... I am hoping that by having very limited options I won't...

Hi all, I just started the Dukan Diet today ... After many failed (well the diets weren't failed I lose weight but regain every time!) I'm hope this is the one! I signed up for the website coaching ... And it is very vague but hey it was still cheaper than paying for SW or WW for each month...

Hi kaci, I just did EE .. Same this week so i will keep you up dated on Thursday .. Finding it great I have to say it seems to be a great balance making me actually cook and prep in advance my previous fall down area!! Hope LT is going good 4 u! X

Hi Lisa, For me anyway it was a case I didn't plan to stay on LT to a goal weight ... I felt I needed to get back in to food so to say to learn how to control and balance healthy eating. X

Ok so update on slimming world ... Went tonight and I have lost 6 and a 1/2 lbs!! Totally fab after eating so much I was in shock! Worth considering after LT! X Good luck everyone hope ur LT journeys are going well!

Hi all, Well I went about 4 days of refeed .. And then away with my hubby for the weekend which in honestly lead to a week of bingeing he just found out he is to be made redundant so we just cut loose .. Funny how food is always at the centre hmm! But I stuck with the original plan and headed...

Ok so I did a few days of the refeed correctly and then me and the hubby went away for a couple of nights to relax as it looks like he has decided to not apply of any role after his job and another were joined do effectually he's redundant! We are not stressed TG we have mor loans etc covered...

Absolutely amazing you should be so proud of yourself! X

Day 1 On the refeed a bit earlier than planned .. But I'm going to stick to it for just over a week to hopefully make a good start when I move to slimming world! So had a late lunch early dinner .. I had a chicken breast which I boiled in stock to keep it nice and juice with a pinch of...

This loo running is a joke lol had a 1hour meeting at my desk with an external girl who I only see once month and twice I had to excuse myself and run to the loo .. She must have thought I was mental and or rude!!

Ignore them all .. As you have said before and being over weigh is healthy how!! You are doing great in-spite of them! Its all about ur happiness .. You can walk away knowing you have made a decision to change your life to get healthy .. LT is drastic but being overweight any longer caries far...

Yippy .. Delighted for you

Just want to say good luck to all you brides ... I did LT before my wedding in Aug for 42 days and went from 15st 2lbs to 12st 11lbs .. It was the best thing I ever did nothing could have compared to how happy I was on the day to be wearing a dress I was happy in not some lump of a thing...

Feel better hun! Hopefully it is just a one day bug thing and you'll be back fighting fit tomorrow!

Don't fret too much Dusty .. Work is not life it's not all you are .. Just remember these things have to be done its not personal .. Defo I feel like after long days at work I crave a takeaway .. For a bit of comfort .. Evil food .. It's a very controlling substance! Well done on staying 100%...

Thanks Dusty, Good to know we are not alone .. Have to say he would nearly be happier if they let him go cause the new role would be hell .. But you have to play the game and wait and see what the powers that be want. And to be honest he isn't happy there any more and the mortgage is insured...

Hey hun, I had this once last time on LT .. Dunno why but one day after each of the shakes I vomited in week 5 .. It was very odd all I did was get myself to bed early and the next morning I was fine .. Hopefully it'll pass for you too!

I'm definitively joining something after LT to a stone or so more .. But I'm caught at moment between WW and slimming world! Hmm! I have 3 more weeks LT then 1/2 refeed but by then I have to have picked one!

So day 3 (22 I suppose) Been crazy busy so far this week with jury duty and month end at work haven't had a moment .. Good in some ways but in others it's been making me crave s nice dinner with a glass of vino to chill .. Had my minty hit choc tonight as a substitute and the urge seems to...

Hit send by accident .. Sit down meal is a tough one .. I have gone to one work do .. A restaurant lunch but I just had coffee .. I arrived a few mins late on purpose to miss the ordering .. But if it's kinda bosses you don't want to be late hmm .. And if it's more than one course that...

Honk day 18!

Too be honest I don't see too much taste difference between them ... Might be because it's called peanut but I personally think that one has a little more flavour

It's good to see everyone had the same issue ... I find it tough to get in the 3rd shake especially if I have had a flapjack (yummy .. I love them) for lunch ... I forced myself the other night an I had to go straight to bed after cause I felt queezy!

Uh I'm on this boat now too lol I usually only use a laxative once a week which I did Monday .. But since Wednesday night I have felt so bloated .. I don't want to get into a habit of using them so I had been going it would move along do to say buy I'm getting progressively more stuffed up...

Thanks Jane ... I cannot wait hope its good to keep me motivated! It is a hard decision to make ... like short term missing out in social things but long term feeling happier! Hmm Even though according to LT I should get to 9st 4lbs (5st 10 lbs my chart said I needed to lose on day 1) I...

Delighted for you .. It's just the best gift to yourself ever ... Who knew not eating could be so good! Happy shopping for your smaller sizes

Ha defo dusty it will be interesting to see if our % loss stay similar! What day do you weigh in (sorry cannot remember!) I know what you mean I wear the same clothes each week .. The lady in the chemist must think I am a weirdo but I like to know my weigh in is exact! Oh I know where my...

Day 13 Started today like a feather head .. Forgot my work pass .. My LT diary and my gym bag .. DOH! And none of my applications are working today for work! Not a good Monday! But on the LT front all is well .. Feeling focused .. Getting a bit torn on how long I should stay on for but think...

Hi Tash, Don't worry both complains are normal and tend to pass after week 1! As for the energy I am on day 13 and I have bags of it .. But week one I just went home every evening and straight to bed .. Not very fun I know if ur in uni but it's good in one way in week1 as going to bed early...

Day 12 Done and dusted literally .. The energy is flowing out of me lol! Spend the day cleaning and downing water yum .. Feeling good! Just sitting down to a mint hot choc and some sparking water in a water in a wine glass to be fancy! Good luck for another good week everyone! Two sleeps...

Honk day 12 done and dusted!

I find they both taste the same so at best guess I reckon if you won't care for the other! I find them yum with a big mug of black tea .. Don't taste the same at all alone!

Well done on resisting .. I was the same family tea tonight with the hubby's sisters and parents .. I enjoyed my flapjack! Surprising how easy it gets to just be like I don't mind I'm not hungry .. They are nearly more freaked out that I don't care lol!

Day 11 all done! Today was actually grand for a Saturday .. Ordinarily I struggle as we always either go out for lunch or get a tskeaway .. But today I dropped my hubby in town to do a job and went home to clean a wee bit then caught up with him at his sisters house around 6. They were having a...

Honk ... Days 11

Amazing .. I say totally jealous!! LT really is the business!

Thanks for all the support today .. Happy to report the weird dark cloud has passed! So I'm lovely and chilled after a bubbly bath watching the TV happy! I just realised this picture would usually include a glass of vino .. But I'm liking the sparkling water as a replacement from a wine glass...

That terrible feeling has passed I'm happy to say!! Popped for a walk round the shops after work and I just felt better!! So I came home and cooked some steak for my hubby really finding cooking therapeutic and I am really planning for when I finish ... I have two cook books winging there way...

Thanks ladies for the hugs and messages .. Only an hour and a half till I can head home ... Feel anti social today I'm avoiding everyone just do not have the will to chat nice oh disaster I am .. Sorry for the weirdness!

Hi all, I started today rushing .. And now I cannot shake this weepy feeling .. I feel I could burst into tears any moment! Dunno if being on LT, feeling tired, being stressed out or just everything combined! I cannot wait to go home after work I think I'll have a bath and hopefully that...

Ha that's great ... Fat pinching p***k is no more lol! Id slap the jaws of anyone who touched me! Hehe! But hey that's a great measure if how many inches are gone!

Day 10 K I feel like since 1pm yesterday I have been rushing about .. Got home late after nephews birthday party .. Got to bed late .. Woke up late .. Got to work late .. Have t had a snake yet is that's late ha .. Need to take a moment to chill and get day in order. So yesterday evening was...

Honk day 9

Well done hun .. That's more towards your goal .. Now you have a good lot of the weight off you should do the refeed for a week or two and maybe look into slimming world or weight watchers? Just saying cause this is my plan to do 2st 7lbs on LT and then try weight watchers for the remainder...

My tights that I wear with work dresses aren't digging into my tummy bye bye red lines!

Hi Richard, Sorry I don't think so .. The instructions are 2-4lts a day anymore and I think you can make yourself ill from what I understood! If I thought I'd lose more lol I'd be drowning myself from the inside!

Ah don't worry to much about the TOTM I had mine last week and it didn't effect my loss do hopefully you'll be the same.

Little non scale victories that pop up as a surprise are the best! woo hoo you!

Horrible isnt it .. everyone was posting it yestreday on facebook .. my hubby played it for me on the way home in the car .. I was like but why .. was she caugh short .. was is cause she was angry .. or did she get off on it some how!! Very confused and disgusted I was!

Oh i make the srawberry muffins think they are grand (no muffin dont get me wrong) nice to be chewing! Have to say I tired the choc bar before and I wasnt pushed on it .. the texture was weird .. but I never noticed the ice cream idea before think I will try that ... just locate a liquidiser hmm!

Maybe just a bit constipated hun .. are you taking fiber clear, or anything to help keep things moving so to say? I used dulcolax once a week when on LT was time (and will this time too!), I tired the fiber clear but no joy for me, but the dulcolax works a treat can be harsh and cause tummy...

Fab ... next week you should hit a stone gone (finegrs corssed) happry days!

Well done .. it practically a half stone you have shed for good!

See that is now gone forever .. bye bye fat

Dusty is right it a lb in the right direction ... so celebrate .. plus you ever seen a lb of fat I used to do WW and the leader brought in a a lb of animal fat vacum packed .. you would be shocked and it woukld make you delighted over every single one that is gone!

Eh typical lol I answered this last night and I was sitting at my desk and ALARM run i had the same issue! Seems to have been a once off so far but funny the timing eh! Oh well at least I was near a toilet not like this .. DIRTY! Woman does a poo in a shop | BitterWallet

Oh Dusty look at that we have both lost the same % weird! lol Statistics: Total Weight Loss: 16lb % Lost 4.76%

Thanks Dusty .. Dont worry I was totally out of it up to yesterday and then my energy appeared from no were! Only problem was I didnt go to bed till after 1am and was supposed to be up at 6 didnt manage to get up till 6.40 .. so I was an hour behind getting to work .. never mind though I do...

Honking for Day 8!

I had this .. Horrible and I was nearly caught short all of a sudden the on day 4 (1st time) when it happened ... I came in here and asked at the time and someone I cannot remember for the life of me said they had asked their pharmacist when it happen them and it can be your body expelling...

Day 8 .. Done and and dusted ... Ok so today I feel like I on drugs or something ... The energy has finally kicked in! Usual day at work .. Traffic was manic and usually that makes me zonked .. But I have buzzing wouldnt let my hubby go to sleep (I do the driving!) I want to talk! Got back to...

Well I'm hoping it will look at little less bet on to me by the 22nd fingers crossed!

Thanks hun ... Thinking 6 more weigh I days then refeed that is if the pharmacist lets me we were chatting yest and she said would 4 weeks not be enough for you .. I said no I have a plan to do 49 days and she said sure lets go week to week!

Thanks .. Hope your week is still going well!

Yeah that confused me this morning ... Ok the title peanut I get and I could taste like dried peanut butter (ish) but coconut who ever labeled that was on a mad on what coconut!!? Have to have it took me 30mins and I enjoyed it with a cuppa (no milk obviously be surprisingly ok) Maybe my...

Oh my gosh I must be a weirdo, I had it last night for the 1st time and thought it was lovely! And the coconut this morning and it was nice too! My palette must be mad ha I think all the shakes are ok, I get some of everything each week!

Day 7 Very happy bunny today .. Week 1 done! And I'm 10lbs lighter for it!! On non scale victories I now can zip my dress for Jan 22nd! All round success! And I had my 1st flapjack today yummy peanut .. Feeling good for week 2 fingers crossed to have a stone off this day week. Challenges...

Haha success k the dress I was hoping to fit in by Jan 22nd .. NOW ZIPS UP .. the difference 2 days on LT makes! (tried it on 1st time 2days ago and it was no go) On Sunday I had my hubby trying to zip it and I was pulling and sucking in to no avail .. But after today's weigh in I decided to...

It is dusty .. Seeing the numbers go down like that makes it all worth while! You have to still be buzzing after it loss hun it was amazing!

I did juju ... Fan lost 10lbs (well 9.92 but close enough to 10!) Thanks for checking in .. You must be bursting to see the scales tomorrow to get the final leg kicked off! Good luck!! :-)

Weighed in at 6pm but been flying around since then! Down 9.92lbs may as well say 10lbs yippie!! Great start hoping this day week I'll be seeing 14 stone flat or even or could I dare think into the 13's!!! Oh and I got the flapjacks I really like the peanut yum! Just the coconut to try and...

Don't worry you are not alone lol .., I take a dulcolax once a week to help things along so to say ... Your right we have no fibre or bulk going in so makes movements difficult! The pharmacist did recommend 1st time I add fibre clear to a shake a day but it didn't work for me .. Neither did...

That is wonderful ... onward and downwards!!!

Lol wish I had your energy .. I do remember last time it took me till the end of week 2 to adjust so I'm still in tired mode now! I suppose thought weekdays are long I leave the house at 6am start work at 7, finish at 4/4.30 which gets me home at 5.30/6pm and I do be wrecked I find needled...

No I don't think so .. Well I hope not ... But we would be missing some nutrients which can't be good cause our bodies get so little anyway! Have to say I have tummy cramp today .. But I'm still TOTM so maybe that's the cause!

The difference 10lbs makes eh! Go u!

You are dead right ... It's a mental thing .. I know it's boredom triggering eating and then being a sugar junkie ... It's so important to try and rebuild our relationships with food now and not doing the same thing and expecting different results! .. In my case I am cooking for my OH .. I...

I love that ... I can say I'm weeing out the fat!!

Thank god I'm not alone Jane and it obviously didn't effect it lose so that's a relief! Yeah I take 2 at work ... It's the evening one I have trouble remembering! The weekend are a disaster cause I get up late so I seemed to run out of time to take all 3 ... Resolution for week 2 take all 3...

Super Jane ... That 1stone will have been banished by this day next week!' congrats! I've weigh in tonight I really hope I lose 10 but it's TOTM and I don't feel that I've lost that much!

Day 6 and 7! Ok so last night I fell asleep at like 7.30. - 8.00pm on the sofa .. Doh had great intentions to get to the gym etc .. Only woke at 9.30pm so I just moved from the sofa to the bed! (hubby was the same he has the tail end of a cold so he's a bit zonked!) In my snoozy evening I...

Exactly .. I don't want to be a frumpy wife and we hope to start a family in two years time so I defo don't want to be the fat mammy! So slim here I come! Sorry to hear you suffered with postnatal depression .. New start now though bye bye comfort eating! Im a funny shape people never ever...

Ditto it's a weird bright yellow looks almost radioactive lol!! Im drinking between 3/4 lts a day so I couldn't really be dehydrated! It's not worrying me just it looks very odd!

It's always my last shake I have trouble with .. Again tonight I'm sitting here thinking I can hardly be bothered making it! I'll will force myself in an hour or so! U have 2 to go .. Good luck!

Yay I'm not alone lol'.

By they way you do not come across as stupid all questions are valid on here!

Ketosis was explained to me as a state when your body is burning fat! You know you are there when your breath is terrible lol and/or no matter how much you drink your mouth feels dry' I bought these little sticks you wee on called in the pharmacy and they tell you the level of ketones in...

Sorry gross tag line but I have to ask ... And this is one place (I hope) I won't be judged as a weirdo! Just after being to the loo for the 10th time today and the last few days I have had clear wee obviously due to all the water ... But just now it was bright yellow ... Just wondering has...

Hi Jane, You sound like you had the same weekend as me I woke up with a mother of a head cold on Sat felt very sorry for myself but I lasted happy to say! The water is so hard at the weekend ... Im the same drink all day at my desk at work so I have 3 lts gone with out knowing it! But the...

Thanks Jane ... Here's hoping I lose and tone a load!

Hi Forme, Yeah take all 3 because they have all the nutrients you need to keep yourself healthy on this! I have to say I do struggle also to take all 3 but I have just have to force myself I am especially bad at the weekends! Best of luck!

I have a new mini goal for Jan 22nd, I am going to a christening that day and as I cannot afford at the mo to buy a new clothes I am hoping to fit into a dress I bought June 2 years ago and only got to wear once! Right now it will not zip past the bust and you can see the waist band digging...

Well done on getting to day 5! I'm on Day 6 (round 2) cannot wait for weigh in tomorrow! On the soup question I love it have it for lunch at work everyday feels much more social and normal at lunch time! I have heard some pharmacist don't allow the soup or flapjack till week 2 or 3 was this...

That's a super start to the year .. Congrats x

Hi, They all seem to do there own thing ... My pharmacist has set my goal at 9st 4lbs .. I am 5'6 also .. Personally I have never been that light .. I would actually be happy at 11st but I reckon I will do LT for 49 days total and then healthy eating and exercise for the rest!

That's great to have support .. My hubby is very supportive he does worry though!' You defo could be in Ketosis I was the darkest purple on a kesostick on day 4 do I had to have been in Ketosis on day 3! If you have horrible breath then bingo your fat burning!! I know I cannot wait for...

Don't panic a tiny sip is not the end of the world! I have chatted a lady before who had a 6 month old which meant she had to tip the 1st spoon of every meal off her tongue to taste to make sure it wasn't too hot etc and her losses were fab! Just don't let it knock you off the wagon .. It's...

Hi, I was in a similar situation to you last June ... My wedding date was Aug 18th and at that point I was 15,2 and desperate to lose ... So luckily I found lipotrim. I started on June 19th and did 42 days to the very end of July and I lost 2st 5lbs ... To be 12st 11lbs for the wedding. My...
