very very very hungry feeling today, mostly head hunger, thinking continuously of food. This is a really tough time at the mo as I am struggling with the concept of being on this for the next 3-4 months plus keeping the weight off. I keep thinking I will never be able to have nice things again...

Thank you :) you should be in ketosis now, keep strong , it's head hunger that gets me. good luck for your 1st weigh inx

Thankyou, omg!!! you lost 13lbs in week 1, youv'e put me to shame lol! well done that's amazing. Lets see what week 2 has in store for us

Hi Starlight, hahaha, yes it was the ketosticks dam little fibbers lol! I thought it may have been the veg but wasn't certain but now I realise it was the water I had drunk that diluted the ketones so much that the stick couldn't pick it up. Just alarmed at the time as It was the first time I...

week 1: 11lbs lost :D

Yipppeee! one more day till I weigh, keeping scales out of reach till then. Got knocked out of ketosis last night as I had the 200g of veg allowed, so not very pleased I must be carb sensitive. It tasted lovely though, white cabbage mixed in with my spag bol, will prob have this on a Sunday I...

Hi welcome to s&s, I have the 3 packs a day and the vit tablet.I don't have the veg, tried it last night ( only been on this diet 1 wk), and it threw me out of ketosis, so not sure how the veggie thing works. I even measured the correct amount of white cabbage out. I might just be carb...

Day 6 All is still going well and im feeling very motivated. Just got my new boots delivered and they are lovely can't wait to wear them with something more showy. Long way to go but I will get there eventually and every day is a loss instead of a gain now. Head hunger is still a problem but I...

Well done on your loss:D

Well day 3 ketostik is pink yea! im now ready to roll( literally), Don't feel very hungry today and feel really focused as I had a very sneaky jump on the scales, ( so much for waiting 4 wks),6lbs down really excited now. Been on theses diets and lost huge amounts before but always put it back...

Hi Minimoosh, wow your losses have been great, well done. Garlic yum! never thought of adding that will have to get some today. have the dreaded family shop to do, last time I was on Cambridge diet and every time I went shopping I used to have to treat myself to crab sticks or chicken, need to...

Day 2 Going well, flipping hungry though and stomach is getting very angry with me now.Resisted hubbie's dirty little chip shop trip. The smell was amazing but I remained focused. The spag bol is lovely, thank goodness for a hot tasty meal, tastes just like quorn mince. keeping off the scales...

Well starting again today after a lonnnggggg break. Not put to much more on but still starting large . I know I can do it this time and I have more determination than ever. So here goes........:D

cool beanz! please don't be flapjacks like the ones on lipotrim ahhhhhh! Judging by the products so far on this diet im positive they will be yummy:)

My friend dream't she was chewing on something and it actually turned out it was her contact lens lol!

Yea I remember on CD you could have a can of coke zero a day, makes a huge change to water. Very interesting about the citic acid thingy, bit nervous to try it now though as I ahte comming out of ketosis and having to go through the headache thing again. I love that atkins ref, pig to twig! :8855:

I dream of food all the time and I can taste it too. Chocolate muffins sound divine lol! I'm going to take myself back to bed for a slap up 3 course meal I think!

sorry I got blocked from saying where I got the water idea from lol! didn't know you couldn't mention other vlcd products

omg! thanks for that lucySera, Can't believe they sell them on *********** as part of their weight loss plans.

Iv'e put my other half on a diet to so he cant torment me with the wine and treats anymore. Well he has a very large beer belly that could do with a reduction lol! I must say he is not impressed by his new eating plan hehehe! he does as he is told or I make his life uncomfortable and he hates it...

i have little extras now and again too. Sometimes I have a massive blow out and completly come out of ketosis but I get back to it the next day. It just means for me I don't lose as much that week but a loss to me is still a good thing. I could never do this diet 100% all the time and hats off...

Well done on the loss. Heres to another great week for you

Been up since 4am can't sleep. Got that anxious feeling like im expecting something to happen . Would be very nice if a very tasty man stood at end of bed in just his socks holding a huge chocolate cake. Somehow I dont think that will happen in stead it would be my dh in his skiddy pants...

well they sound cool where do you get them capsi thingies from? not heard of them before will defo have to get som e. Think the £1.99 for water flavours (wahoos ) is cheaper than Asda the bars are a bargain . just been on the site 90 bars for 46 quid , get in there! Thanks guysx

going to start my own daily blog to motivate myself and have a moan on. Need somewhere I can keep refering back to to see how my journey is going the highs and lows of it. yap yap yap here I come :sigh:

awwww! thats really encouraging when our men notice things like that, bet your beaming now! Glad ur dizzy spells have passed

Hi vj, I also get days like that. I started having milk in my tea and the few extra cals stopped it. It has never taken me out of ketosis and all the vlcd I have been on that advised no milk in tea i have still used it. It's just a sugestion to save you having more packs. Remember on cd you...

Hi Kaci002, welcome to the forum hope ur packs arrive soon. Good luck with ur weight loss journeyx

Hi, welcome to the forum

Hi vj, glad ur packs have arrived. Im mixing up the lipotrim with the lemon slim and save packs ( not together yuk!) having the lemon in the morning then chocolate lipotrim shake lunch and bar or chilli in the evening. So not to bad I suppose. Flipping hard this diet thing now the weather is...

Thanks Hels, that's another eco I will be staying away from then but i will try the other flavours as they are more in my budget range at the moment. I don't like thick glueky shakes and I suppose the eco in other flavours would be ok

hi welcome to the forum. Good luck with your diet journey. only tasted one of the shake it was eco lemon and not to impressed with it but for the price it was worth it. Premium shakes ive heard are yummy and the other flavour eco shakes are good to.

Hi vj, have ur packs arrived yet? well lemon eco shakes are just err! so i have found a site that does the bars for £7.30 for 7 so have ordered 4 boxes from them plus some chilli 7 for £8 so cant wait till they arrive as im heaving at the moment on those shakes. Going to order the premuim shakes...

Thankyoux

well just had 1mths worth of the lemon eco shakes turn up so I have just had my first one this morning. Well waht can I say umm! they are certainly different. Had to water it down to just under a pint as the flavour was to intense. No to bad watery, they certainly hold their flavour.The smell is...

Yea packs arrived today so can get started properly tmoz.Going to buy some bars this week to break up the lemon and deceided no weigh ins. with my lipotrim left overs I have at least 5 wks worth of stuff so i am not weighing myself for 5 whole weeks. Well going to try not to:D Not heard of the...

I had this prob my second time on cd. My doctor said it was because fat cells have memory and that they like to keep their cell volume so they bulk up with water. Frustrating on the scales but it does eventually even out and losses start to show again. Stick with it you are doing brilliantx

I ordered on the 12th and got a same day email saying despatched so if they arn't here Monday then time to panick :eek: I ordered the economy lemon shakes and have since been told they are rank! if these shakes are better than lipotrim then that will at least be a bonus. Oh I bloody hope so or...

Go onto the inspirational photo's on minimins. When i go on there it gives me a real boost and keeps me motivated when I get a low day

well done on your loss

Hi vj, all the best for your journey you'll be in those jeans before thenx

Thankyou all for your lovely welcomes:D Packs still haven't arrived but I have 1 wks worth of lipotrim left so I started that today. Fingers crossed that my order didn't get lost otherwise im buggered!

Day 14 has arrived and I am 1lb off of losing the first stone. Going to go mad this week and get off as much as possible as next Saturday I have a planned day off for my sister 40th BBQ. I know if I stick to protien I will be ok but I have to make some rum bubas, coconut and rum ring, Fancy...

Thankyou Magi:)

Well done Hom16, brilliant loss:D

My hair started to thin after I lost 4stone on CD, it does grow back and you won't go bald. it is distressing I know . My kids used to complain that my hair was always in their dinner! I love feeling cold strange I know but apparently you loss more weight when your cold as the body uses more...

Thank you starlight:)

Feeling on top of the world today even though it's day 13, unlucky for some, but not me today as the scales are finally showing the loss. Now into the 19 stone bracket yippeeee :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Not got weigh in till tomz either! BEAMING :)

What extra benefit's do you get from this site when you reach 50 posts, as I haven't a clue?

Awwww! lets hope they burn all the food then, poor you. I was watching masterchief today and the hairy bikers , my God my taste buds were going crazy just watching, smelling it and I would have caved in. You'll be fine just keep telling yourself they haven't washed their hands or Yuk they...

Wow! fantastic loss you must be beaming with self pride:D You are amazing all that time 100% your will power must be extremley strong, I wish I could be as strong as you. You have such a positive outlook that I find really inspiring. Well done and good luck with your re-feed I shall look forward...

Day 12, the week is in reverse I think or it's riding the tortoises back,either way it's been a grueling long week so far and it's only Wednesday! stayed clear of the scales today yipee! Just come back from stables and have to take kids to school now back thrugh muddy woods with dogs I go...

Thankyou :) hope your doing ok and good luck for your 1st weigh in

Hi Binnybee 3, welcome to lipotrim forum you will get loads of support on here. Cant beleive your doctor ignored you yet they are the first to complain when you are overweight. I dont live near Bristol so cant help there but im sure someone on here will reply. Im starting out at a simular weight...

Better now as I have been for a long sleep and not had any extra naughties today . Working from home mostly all week due to this crap rain in the mid of July, who would credit it! Watched Pauline Quirke on this morning she has done amazing loss and looks fantastic for it. Keeps me mootivated...

Thanks all, I might try it again then if it's improvedx

Day 11 doing ok-ish did have a little blip yesterday but still in ketosis. Had 1 shake and 2 small packs of bernard m's chicken and 8 pints of water, just needed a nibble. I so wish they bars like they have on the other vlcd something to chew now and again makes all the difference. I think I...

HI Danni, I think it is 3 stone or more but I may be wrong,ask at the chemist will be your best way of finding out. Good luckx

That's 3lbs of fat remember! so that is a fantastic loss, well done

Yes it's not very nice at all. I have been ok so far a few episode where I thought I might need a pencil to work it out( sorry for being crude). Have taken that Ducolux before and found it gave me huge stomach cramps that continued until I emptied my bowles, very painful especially when your...

What do you mean the only way is up???? it's down with the weight from now on, well done for going and getting the packs. It's quite exciting when you start isn't it cause you know it only takes a few short mths to a new you.Must confess the 4 stone I lost on CD is back with a vengence that's...

Well done on starting the diet. Your confidence will soon be boosted by next weeks weigh in. Good luck :D

Hi candyloss, I had this hair loss thingy last time I was on CD diet. Never happened the first time round only the second time I dieted. It kicked in around 4 stone lost and was comming out really quick. My hairbrush was full every time I brushed my hair. My CDC suggested that I take an extra...

You can stay in Ketosis by only eating protein , eg, meat. The trouble is when you start to eat you could end up thinking bugger it i'll eat some wedding cake or pudding as well. I know cause i have done it so many times before. You go into a whirlwind mode and start eating for England. It makes...

Sounds like the pharmacist needs to go on a maths course. You should weigh yourself from home as well at least you will be able to see the weight loss in stones and pounds. You've done brill so far so don't get upset, you watch next week your hard work will pay off for youx

Day 8 and I said I wouldn't but I did, I weighed myself and now feel very happy as the scales say I have dropped in total 9lbs ,5lbs since fri weigh in, I knew my body was being a little sh**. All happy now so much that I have been on a mission today. Got up at 6.30am woken by the neighbours...

Hi Mariah, i'm on day 7 good luck with your start. I see you are a fellow Hertfordshirianx

Don't worry just get back on it and you will be fine. We all go through it and it's bloody hard. I know I shouldn't tell you but if you do feel the need again to eat and it really gets to much just stick to protein as this will still keep you in ketosis. Sorry !!!! i'll get barred for food talk...

Well done for getting to day 3 it does get easier once ketosis sets in, which should be around now. I still sniff food and lick crisps and have even chewed food and spat it out it's really sad I know. I was on Cambridge twice lost loads and didn't do the maintance for I put it back on again...

Hi Becky, well the good looking pharmacist wasn't there Fri so I got a reprieve phew! more time to get slimmer to impress;) Hope your traveling went ok, good would have been a disaster if you had traveled after a few shakes eek! Well got weighed and only 4lb loss very very upset as I weighed...

ummmm! you could be feeling full due to the maggot eggs it may have had in it's belly eeekkkk! Did it taste better than the soup though?

Hi ya, I'm only on the first wk to and it is a killer. This is my ist time on lipotrim but have been on cd 2x so could say im a serial yoyo dieter. Well hopefully this is the last time for me. Im day 5 now and yes still hungry, fed up with the shakes and water and find myself constantly smelling...

Found this on the Atkins Diet Bullatin Board "Fat cells are resilient, stubborn little creatures that do not want to give up their actual cell volume. Over a period of weeks, maybe months of "proper dieting", each of your fat cells may have actually lost a good percentage of the actual fat...

I read something about fat cells having memory and they replace with water, apparently so, and that's what a weight plateau is . A Cambridge diet councillor also said the same. Don't know how true it is but my weight hasn't budged in 4 days either and Im week 1, usually huge losses in wk 1. I'm...

Lol! that's cool;) well done on getting through to week 3 your doing brill. Im just on day 5 and already wanting a good meal hahaha! It's so sad isn't it if we could have food we wouldn't really want anything right now but because we cant it's torture. Well i dream't I had a huge bar of Galaxy...

day 5 and need to nibble so will have to get some cardboard flapjacks tomoz. still being good although im starving:D

Hi Beck-boo, thank you for the post you made me chuckle with the mind trying to depress you to get you to eat, that's so true hahah! I feel so much better now and your right I might be in the 20's now but it will soon go down. ( at least I bloody hope so):eek: not been on scales today as weigh...

Well done on your lose 10lbs is fantastic.I have first weigh in on Friday would love to lose that amount. :D:D:D

Huge boobs and a bum to keep me well balanced

Well just took dogs for a nice woodland walk come in and drunk a pint of water. Cleared my head and negative thoughts and gave myself a kick up the jacksey , which isn't hard when you've an arse that drags round your ankles, flexable dont even come into it. Anyway I told myself that I will get...

Hi Magi, thank you for your encouragement im just feeling a little fed up a the moment as im now on day 5 and the scales still haven't moved. I know I said I wouldn't weigh myself but temptation got the better of me. I really wanted a good loss this week as all the other times i have been on...

Day 4 weighed myself and very disapointed only 5lbs down, considering it's water weight it's a poor loss. I was hoping to have lost 10lb or more by Friday and at this rate looks like im in for a huge let down.Well I have today and 2 more days so should lose 6lb by weigh in, if all goes to plan...

Well, 5 pints of water 3 coffee's and 2 shakes and very strong urges to eat! so im going to bed until the feeling passes:eek:

Hi ya, I thought I might be refused as Im on meds for hypertension and underactive thyroid but I was ok as long as I understood the need to visit gp for regular med reviews. Unless you are type 1 diabetic or underweight I can't see why they won't let you join. The pharmacist didn't even deal...

WOW!!!! that's amazing:D well done over a stone in one week, you must be feeling fantasticx

OMG!!! 4 pints of water 2 coffee's and one shake and I am feeling the hunger paings now. Day off of work and I am going crazy trying to keep myself busy, I keep going on here to keep motivated. I knew day 3 would be hard but flipping heck, food thoughts are going crazy in my head and my stomach...

The weight you put back after a blip is usually water weight and will come off as soon as you start again. We all have bad days, when I was on CD I was always in and out of ketosis but still managed to lose 7 stone just took me longer than I had planned it. Must admit I do have milk in tea and...

It won't take you long to get back on track. Iv'e got a family BBQ comming up in 3 wks and all I have been doing is trying to find excuses to get out of it cause I know I will end up eating.Flipping hard sometimes these diets.I know my relations will keep at me to eat, I will just have to stick...

Well done!!!! 10lbs is fantastic:D

My first weigh in will be Friday

Hi Lilac, hope your dizzy spells have passed.I can remember feeling like that on Cambridge diet, I was on that for 7mths and I had quite a few spaced out feeling days. I think it was mainly because I used to have a day off now and again and was in and out of ketosis.This time i'm not going to...

Hi Lilac, well I ended up with 21 chocolate shakes that are beginning to taste better with each one. Got through Saturday by going to bed at 7pm with a blinding headache and woke up not even feeling hungry. Shouldn't have done but I weighed myself and 2lbs down already, looks like these choco...

Well day one today and I am so ready for this.I got weighed and im not so shocked I half expected to be that weight but thats a really good way of looking at it Lilac, I wont weigh that come next week. Nearly died of shame though when I walked into pharmacy, the pharmacist was so good looking he...

Thank you Magi, Caziedalts and Jo you have all made me feel even more determined to do this and ignore the negative people.After all this is my life changing journey not theirs and if they can't support me then they need to butt out. Off to get my shakes now ready to start in the morning. Sounds...

Hi clair-louise, thankyou for replying. I totally agree with you that it is a safe diet. I think most of the problems come from people excessive drinking lowering pottasium levels.I have just had to talk to my mother and friend and explain it all. Good grief I need a cup of tea now ( black that...

Why is it when you feel all ready and determined to lose weight people who are supposed to love you and offer you support start to question why you want to do something so drastic. I keep getting friends and family saying be careful, you don't need to starve yourself to lose weight oh and the...

Well done on your lossx

Hi all, your posts are very inspirational and I love seeing how much weight you all lose every week. Well done all of of you, be proud of your achievements :) I'm hoping to start Saturday if the pharmacy stops messing me around! Done Cd 2x before and lost 5 stone on round 1 and 7 stone on round...
