    Hi We-Mitts - Sorry I missed 24th March

    I hope you all had a lovely time. I couldn't get online to tell you, but I had to go that same day on a Cambridge Diet course. I had to be up with the lark to travel to Kettering and I just wasn't fit to go out in the evening. Hopefully I can make it another time. Lotsa love and regards...

    Hellooooo - have missed u lot !!

    Hi Debz Welcome back. We have 21 lbs to lose each. So the race begins. I'm spending a fortune on CD and yo-yo-ing between 10st 12lb and 11st 3lb. Up and down, up and down. I need a bit of competition or someone to give me a good talking to. I really need to get a move on. Well...

    Quorn?

    I found the Quorn sausages quite palatable and the quorn mince. The swedish meatballs were o.k. too. The sausages need some ketchup on them and the quorn mince needs some kind of ragu or tagine sauce. It is a personal choice; I tried the fillets and I couldn't eat them at all. The taste...

    Hi Wemitts

    Thanks for that Ann. As you might see it is 1 a.m. and the internet is working really well just now. Such unsociable hours it chooses to let me on minimins. Still that's Sky for you. £5 a month - "you can't get any better than this band". It's so hit and miss - however to give Sky their...

    10st 12lbs this morning yes,yes,yes!! :D :D So it was just water retention and meanwhile I was losing fat. Doesn't it just go to show that the scales can be misleading. As my trousers are now getting baggy, size 14 leather ones, when they were looking a good fit a month ago, I must be...

    This was an exhilarating moment last Thursday. However, I started to get dreadful hunger pangs as I was cooking and thought I would "treat" myself to a weekend off sole-sourcing. I've gone back up to 11st 2lbs. This is so frustrating. I know it is only water retention, as I ate protein...

    What colour should I be aiming for?

    :D Many thanks girls for that advice. So, I'm not beige - just one colour above and I guess a trace of ketosis is good. It could be better though. I can remember when I wasn't wishing for my next shake. I'm counting the hours for my last one at 10 pm. I hope you are all doing well and it...

    What colour should I be aiming for?

    Hello to anyone using the ketostix. I forgot to ask my CDC what colour I should expect for when I am in ketosis. I have 4 shakes a day and they seem to be just showing a "trace". That is the second colour on the chart. Please advise me what colour I should be aiming for to be in ketosis...

    Thanks Mike I do hope to lose this last stone. Even if it takes a couple of months I don't mind. I just love the Cambridge Diet so much and it will part of my daily life always, even if I have just one shake a day. Incidentally, I saw you on T.V. and you're a cool dude. Marylyn x;)

    Pampering your way into Ketosis

    Hi Girls, As you probably know, since I'm trying to rectify my mistake, I have been advised by CD HQ that 7 shakes a day is excessive and should not be done again. 3 or 4 shakes are fine as I am 5ft 8in, but that really should be the limit. I should make up my calories with real food...

    Marylyn's mistake 7 CD's too much!

    Hi Fi & Kazz The CD HQ lady said that 3 shakes provided all the nutrients I would need. As I am 5ft 8in I am allowed to have 4 if I want to. She didn't go into any more detail other than what I have mentioned above. When I asked if I would have done any harm to myself by having 7 shakes...

    Marylyn's mistake 7 CD's too much!

    I'm sorry if I misled anyone, but I shouldn't have been having 7 shakes. I spoke to CD HQ and was advised to stick with the 3 shakes and eat some normal food. This is what I am doing now. Once again, sorry if I gave anyone the wrong idea. It won't have done any harm to me, but I mustn't...

    Marylyn's mistake 7 CD's too much!

    Hi Girls & Guys I've had a chat with HQ and had it confirmed that I overdid things by having 7 shakes. I should have 3 and make up my calories with normal food. So I'm sorry about that, I was experimenting. I haven't done myself any harm, but I mustn't do that again. Today I had 3...

    Hi Olijames I can give you the advice that I was given by a Doctor PhD MRCP and Clinical Lecturer and Clinician Scientist Fellow and that advice was "Start eating a proper maintenance diet". I didn't want to do it, stubborn girl that I am, but I had to listen to reason and to a professional...

    The last stone mission......ROLL UP!!!!

    Hello Jubbly Very well done on losing that 4lbs. As you know, this last stone is difficult to lose and you have to find the right way for you. I'm very glad that the CD steps are working well, as they should, because every calorie counts especially for the last stone and you are obviously...

    To Nic Hi Nic When you make your decision it will be a great relief. When I was failing to sole-source I was becoming terribly frustrated. I had two choices. Either get on with it and make a success of sole-sourcing which would have carried on working or find a sensible maintenance level...

    Hi again Nic & Clairejen Morning Girls, Hope you are both well. To answer Nic's question on how my weight loss was going. I was finding it difficult to sole-source in these past recent weeks. I was having around an extra 100 calories a day. This brought my calorie count to 520 calories...

    Hi Nic I would say that if you are getting frustrated with the very low calorie diet and it has stopped giving you weight loss it is probably time to give yourself a break. On Cambridge, sole-sourcing is done in 4 week blocks and then calorie intake is taken up for a week, still keeping a...

    I'm just practising my skills with the thread tool thing and I was wondering where Maughrim was, but I didn't mean for the same question to appear thrice. I thought it wasn't there, but when I logged off the question appeared three times:o Marylyn

    2 stone off at last. Cheers with a glass of Lipotrim in my hand!

    LT and the "experts" Hello Mandy, I see you have done brilliantly on your diet. Are you on LT too? The thing is when you are tall, you can "carry" 3 stone without anyone even knowing you're overweight. As a 5' 9" person, Mandy, what would be your ideal goal weight to settle at? I've...

    2 stone off at last. Cheers with a glass of Lipotrim in my hand!

    Hi girls, I had my weigh in on Tuesday and lost 3 lbs in the 2 weeks. This means 28 lbs has gone since the start of June. Weight 11st 7 lbs, which at 5' 9" makes me look quite slim. However, I would like to get my BMI down to 20 and have a goal of 9st 4 lbs so that when I start eating a...

    Photos- 5 Stone lost, 5 to go !

    Hello wcdt, Love the pics. We went to Rome 2 years ago and we're going to Cyprus in 2 weeks. Glad to hear you enjoyed your hols. We really adore Italy, but as we're going away mid Sept, we thought it would be sunnier in Cyprus. I'm refeeding from LT for it soon. Did you enjoy the food in...

    Have all the Lipotrimmers given up?

    Hi Mins I've downed 3 pts the past hour and the light headedness has gone. It is easy to forget isn't it? I usually make a note of what I've had too, because otherwise I'm guessing how many pints I've had. Someone got a great device for me at his gym. It is a plastic cup with a grid and...

    Do you all know how really amazing you are!

    Hello Mini The three months have flown by since I started LT. In one way I'm looking forward to the re-feeding, it's temporary for Sept, but I would feel most comfy with LT for B/fast and lunch and I would really appreciate an evening meal and keep stable I hope. In the second instance it's...

    3 Months of LT and feeling light-headed past 2 days.

    Hi I've been feeling slightly dizzy these past two days. Has anyone else felt like this? I know you can get light-headed when you start dieting, but I've been on LT for 3 months now. I'm seeing the Doc on Tuesday, but I just wondered why I'm feeling like this. Marylyn xx

    Have all the Lipotrimmers given up?

    Hi Mini, Size 16 is o.k. I felt well pleased when my 16 trousers fitted after throwing the 18's away. In fact, I'm very reluctant to throw away 2 pairs of 16's because I only bought a navy pair from M & S in March and a lovely beige pair in Principles. They're a bit baggy around my hips and...

    Do you all know how really amazing you are!

    A wee break to Cyprus LT'g of course and back on the road Hi Mini I think I've found my "voice" now for msg'g. It's encouraging when you hear from other people too and you feel that they are genuine stories. I think I have around 2 more stone to lose and hopefully with the maintenance plan...

    Do you all know how really amazing you are!

    Hello Lipotrimmers Along your LT journey it is inevitable that you will attract attention, compliments and curiosity. "How have you lost so much weight? etc". Most people want to lose weight now don't they? The thing is when I tell them about the culinary delights of Lipotrim I get a...

    First Weigh In

    Delighted to hear about your weight loss. That really is amazing. To help things along, why not have half a chicken soup in the evening in a pint of water. Then a little later have half a sweet LT in another pint. I find this helps me through the evening. For variety, you can make the...

    Have all the Lipotrimmers given up?

    Hurray there's somebody there! Hi Mini, Anne-Marie and Russian Doll I've been on LT now since the start of June. It was very hard 1st week (a) I thought the taste of it them all, except vanilla, was horrid. However, by week 2 I was drinking them all as if they were nectar. Speaking of...

    Have all the Lipotrimmers given up?

    Hi to all dieters Anyone out there doing Lipotrim? I don't know whether I'm looking in the wrong place or if I all on my own doing this diet, but it would be nice to have a chat about it. I thought I saw some people who were on LT, but you all seem to have disappeared. Have you given up or...

    If You Are Doing Lipotrim Please Post Here And Tell Your Story!

    Hi to all Lipotrimmers, I have been on LT since start of June 06 and have lost 24 lbs so far. I have had my ups and downs on the diet, it is never easy 100% of the time. However, the rewards are well worth the effort you put in. I'm doing LT as part of a study for the university hospital...

    New Weight Loss Wonder - The Mirror!!!

    I've just seen your thread and I think it's a good challenge. There are so many people that only realise how big they are when they see photos taken of themselves; they are probably avoiding their reflection on a daily basis. From my own experience, I did not like what I saw in the mirror...

    Can you drink too much water?

    Very helpful and informative I try to make a note of how many pints I drink, but I forgot to do this one day and I was anxious that if I drank anymore it would be too much. I was nowhere near the maximum intake however. I found this very helpful. Marylyn xxx

    Hah, this'll be me then!

    Thanks girls, I feel really guilty now about tasting things. It just leads to wanting more food. I won't partake of the family feast; then it will only be about 6 weeks to my hols. I did a lot of walking last week (10 miles) over 2 days and I think this triggered off food cravings. Amazingly...

    Hah, this'll be me then!

    After 7 weeks, I am beginning to weaken. I keep having teaspoons of tastes of what the family meals are. I'm missing food so much now. We're having a family get-together and a menu was sent from the Bistro to get our orders in early. Initially I thought I'll just have iced water and make up...
