I'm doing my fitness pal for the past 2 weeks and it said I've to have 1200 calories in order to lose 1.5-2lb a week. In 2 weeks of refeeding I've lost 1.5lb which I think is good seeing that we have went from 457 calories to over 1000! Most days I'm not eating the whole 1200 calories and trying...

That's brilliant. I've been just having a skinny latte for breakfast but then having lunch, tea and supper and going for weigh in tomorrow. My first after starting refeed cause my pharmacist was away last week!! I'm nervous as I still have 2 stone to lose, I'm finding eating quiet stressful...

No problem. I think it's easier to turn yourself back around to day shift if you do this. I just have to make sure I drink loads of water at work so I don't feel as hungry and pick from the dreaded sweetie drawer that we have!! On nearly every shift someone beings in a massive bag of sweet to...

I find it alright but I've been doing it for years. I tend to have my meal when I get up, instead of breakfast as workin in a busy A&E don't always get breaks!! So when my partner is having his tea it's really my breakfast but its my biggest meal and then about 2am in work I'll have what I would...

Well I'm on night shift so about to have my salad and chicken for what is now my lunch time. I'm defo going to do calorie counting after refeed cause my partner has lost nearly 2 stone by doing it and very little exercise.

Aww that's fantastic I was a size 18 and bought mine as a size 14 so I hope they need to take it in as I want to be at least a 12!! I'm soo excited for it and its only 6 months away. X

How much water do you mix your maintenance shake with? I'm just starting tomorrow but my pharmacist has given me that information and I can't find it in the hand out. Please help. X

Would like to thank everyone for the support I have I over the past 7 weeks. I have lost 34.5lbs and feel fantastic but still another 2-2.5 stone to go. Starting refeeding this week as advised by medics due to health reasons so this is the hardest part of all getting to my goal weight and...

4lb off this week and that's me starting my refeeding plan!! 34.5lb off in total in 7 weeks. Thanks to everyone for their support, now the hard work begins.

I'm starting to refeed today after losing over 30lb in 6 weeks. I'm terrified as I still need to lose 2.5 stone but due to health reasons, having gall bladder removed last year and now having similar pains they think I've got a stone in my tubes now that I don't have a gallbladder so have been...

Tomorrow is going to be my last weigh in as 100% total!! For health reasons I have to stop and start refeeding. I'm gutted as still want to lose another 2.5 stone!! I know I've had a good boost and I've got time to get the rest off as not getting married to April so I need to start motivated. Xx

I had them this time last year and had my gallbladder out. If you are having pains etc you need to have bloods done which will show them if you are having problems it will show up. It's important you watch your diet as high fat foods and acid things will increase the pain and set off the stones.

What is it and where do I fine out about it!!??!! I want to lose loads of inches. X

I'm totally devastated but I think I'm going to have to start refeeding!! I've still another 2.5 stone I want to lose. To cut a long story short I done this diet last year and lost 3 stone in 8 weeks but then ended up with gallstone and became poorly with liver problems due to stones getting...

3lb off for me this week!! 31lb in total on my 6th weigh in.

I've lost 5.5lb this week and don't think I've reached what I said I would!! Over the moon with my lose but disappointed I didn't get my set goal. X

I've 5.5lb off this week!! That's 27.5lb in 5 weeks. I'm really impressed. Just another 3 stone to go. X

Ms R a lost is better than a gain no matter how big or small.

Mines about 11ish. I don't have a set time, as long as I go anytime between 9-5.

Well ideally is like to lose another 3 stone but I've 3 big events that I really can't get away without eating in 2 weeks if November so going to have to refeed for it!!

Thanks Ms R I've just had a peppermint tea and feeling a little better. It's just getting me down to think that I have an other 6 weeks of no feed before I refeed for a few events and then back on to get to my target. X

This weekend has been a nightmare for me but today has been even worse!! My mouth is watering for food. I've no cravings just feel like I want to eat a massive meal. Any tips before I head to the cupboard for something? It's even a real struggle but so far I have resisted.

I'm -3lb this week please

I had 3lb off this week, that's a whole 22lb for me in 4 weeks.

Dizzy thanks very much that has helped me loads. Hopefully I will enjoy my 2 weeks off, the concert and bridesmaid dress shopping with my girls now instead of dreading it due to no wine or food when we are out.

What do you mean you done alot if damage limitation? Did you refeed when you were away or before?

Dizzy why did you take a 2 week break and how did you do it?! I'm off for 2 weeks in November and wanted to be at my goal for then as have a few things on that I really wanted to enjoy, I know I'm not going to be at goal weight for the now as I've still 20kg, 3 stone to lose.

Thanks Mrs R for the motivation. I was hopeful to be off the diet by end of October as got tickets for killers and my fiancé wanted to make a night of it so we have booked a hotel etc. I just don't want to let him down but I don't want to stop the diet early because of this and have another 46lb...

I only had 2lb off this week!! Felt a bit down at the time but now thinking its cause I just finished my TOTM the other day, fingers crossed its a big lose next week.

Thanks Dizzy, I hopeful that I have a big lose next week and this week is down to me finishing TOTM this week!!

Totally gutted only 2lb off this week.

5lb off this week for me please add it to the monthly loss. X

Thanks. I needed the boost. Feeling good now as my bra has had to go up the next notch. Lol. I made the mistake of not measuring myself but starting to feel the difference in clothes.

I had 5lb off today!! Woo hoo. Very impressed with myself.

Well done lipotrim4me!! That's brilliant. I went for my weigh in today to be completed disappointed- the only girl in the pharmacist decided to take the day as a holiday!! She left me 3 sachets and a note to come back tomorrow to be weighed!! Fingers crossed I've got a good weight loss tomorrow.

Yeah it works I've just tried it with a little bit of mine but ended up having the rest in shake cause I really really didn't like it.

Hi peeps, I was looking through old messages I had from last time I done this diet and came across this which I've never tried but going to give it a shot today. One the girls used to swear by it for day's she needed to munch. Add 60mls to chocolate shake, (drink the rest if the water u should...

I have struggled with wanting to eat the past 2 day so going to give an old lipotrim tip a go and try the cookies. I've never done it before but one the girls back last year told me about it so think I'm going to have a try of it. You mix the chocolate shake with 60mls of water, you have to...

I'm 3 pounds heavier on the scales at pharmacist!! I'm not going to get on scales again to Wednesday morning at the pharmacist and then weigh myself as soon as I get in to see the difference. TOTM is such a pain, lol. Although im in the in-laws to be garden soaking up the sun today. X

I'm due to weigh in in Wednesday but had a sneak peek on my scales this morning and I'm only 2lb lighter!! I've just come on as well, complete downer.

I'm 5ft 6 and 15 stone. I want to lose 5 stone before December.

Aww I would love to eat today. Really struggling and did consider earlier packing it in and then thought of my wedding dress!! My partner is just putting his tea on and it's killing me to think ill just be having my cuppa soup. I'd just love a nibble of flavour.

Oh my word I hope this sun doesn't last very long. Lol. I've been out all day and all I could see was people eating ice cream and smelling fish and chips. Struggled loads but kept say to my partner that we can have a lovely time next year!! Trying to see the positives.

I have the soup in a pan with a cup of hot water, mix with a whisk and it goes a bit creamy. It's much nicer, not sure how much water but it's a big mug and it's the only way I like it.

Yeah I think it's brilliant!! I've another 4 stone to lose by start of December and need all the motivation I can get. Xx

I've been wearing my work fleece in work for the past 3 day and just taking it off to go and see patients!! Everyone else is laughing cause hospital is soo hot.

Advise please people!!! Is anyone using any products to help reduce the effects if stretch marks when losing all this weight so fast?!

Daniellebaby15 I've just finished day 7 and it's the first day I've felt human since day 3 and I've had more energy, no hungry thoughts and no aches. Hold in there.

I have just had my 7th day shake and today is the first in 6 that I have felt human again!! No more aches and pains or feeling exhausted all the time. I'm feeling really positive and keep thinking of the wedding dress. Today I got an extra boost as received a message to say my wedding rings...

Being able to fit into an outfit I have from last time I was successfull on this diet that my fiancé thinks I'm stunning in for a romantic surprise night out that I have already book for 1st weekend in December!! Proving the manager in the shop where I bought my wedding dress wrong when my...

Well done such motivation!! I want to lose 3 stone 7 pounds at least in the next 8 weeks so can you tell me of you done anything other than have the shakes?! X

Im going to say 18lb and hope for the best!!

Well that's me been down 12lb in my first week!! Over the moon. Let week 2 commence and the motivation is building.

I'm totally over the moon. Skinny here I come to catch you, you can't run much longer in your own. Lol

Im feeling better but got a head cold. Just been weighed after 6 days and have 12lb off!! Now that's what I call motivation!!

Woo hoo I'm a Wednesday weigh in person! I got on my scales this morning for a boost and I'm loving the results!! Will defo post tomorrow.

I treated myself to laser bikini line and underarms before I started cause knew it would be seeing results when I'm the new me. My main goal is getting into the wedding dress everyone said I was mad to order cause it's 2 sizes smaller!!

Aww I wish I was joining the Tuesday club but my weigh in is a Wednesday. I'll be looking to you all for motivation and to see how I might do on Wednesday.

Al30 well done on the weight loss!! That's fantastic. Sally I'm sorry to hear TOTM but brilliant advise, hot water bottle, peppermint tea and 2 paracetamol.

I had that for the first 2 day but then settled!! My pharmacist didn't hear of it before but one other person on here had the same. I think it must be like a detox thing or something to do with the fact I don't have a gallbladder.

Thanks peeps. I'm struggling through, in work with my fleece on cause I'm soo cold but powering through with water and I'm defo not going to give up!! I'm gettin married in just over 7 months and ordered my dress 2 sizes smaller which will be in the shop come December.

Please people I need some motivation!! I'm on day 4, 3rd night shift in busy A&E dept and I feel like I've been hit by a bus. I could sleep for England and even having a shower tonight was like a weeks work. Is this normal?!

That's brilliant! Well done. 11lb in first week is great.

Well done you!! Give yourself a massive pat on the back for that takes will power. I'm on night shift and it's been really easy to stay away from the sweetie drawer which I find shocking cause I'm normally in there with both hands at least every 5 mins.

Brilliant idea. I find it really useful and the motivation is brilliant.

No my pharmacist hasn't either. It hasn't happens since soo fingers that it finished.

Sorry about this question but has anyone had problems with really loose stool instead of being constipated? I broke wind earlier and had to run to toilet!!

Does it really speed up your weight loss? Last time I used a different chemist for it and they said nothing more than walking cause it could slow weight loss down?!

Sorry to hear that! I had my gallbladder out last October 4 weeks after stopping total food replacement but I'm now back on and finished day one today. My thoughts are now I have no gallbladder I won't have that problem anymore. The operation isn't that bad and i had a few complications but was...

I've just finished day one again of lipotrim after having to stop last year due to gall stones and having an operation, then I lost 3 stone and have put it back on within 9 months. I get married in 7 and half months and have ordered my wedding dress 2 sizes small as my motivation!! The shop...

While out shopping with my fiancee yesterday he went to grab my love handles like he always does when we are winding each other up!! BUT There was none for him to grab!! He stop, spun me round and give me a massive smacker on the lips and told me how proud he is of me. I nearly cried. Xx

I'm on day 40 and lost 29 lb but really starting to struggle. I'm having mint tea and black coffee as a treat but really want flavour and food today. X

I'm not getting weighed to Wednesday cause I'm working tomorrow and it's killing me!! I'm hopeing for a good lose this week. Xxx

Yeah well as far as I'm aware. I've been losing weight but nit tested my urine. X

I don't think so cause I've been them and no problems. Xx

You need to take them for a while before you notice a difference but you will if you stick with them. My hair got alot stronger and grew loads when I had them. I had a lot if stress 2 years ago and hair loss was a result. Xx

Yeah those are the ones. They are brilliant. It was my hair dresser who advised them and I think they are fantastic. Xx

Yeah i need some energy as well. Want to start the gym this week and boost my lose. Xx

I'm feeling the same this week on week 4 as well and I just can't be bothered with anything. It's getting worse as the week went on. I can advise to get Sillica tablets from holland and Barrett for your hair, they are brilliant but need to take for 6 months. You will notice a big difference and...

Deezer do you feel that exercise helps with weight lose? I'm starting week 4 on Monday and considering going back to gym. I want to lose another 3 stone but dont think I can stick on 100% for any more than another 4 weeks. I'm really struggling this week. X

Really fast results. I've lose 20lb in 3 weeks and a dress size!!

Minnie me how much did you lose in 11 weeks?! I'm starting week 4, lost 20lb so far but have another 3 stone to go!!

Im starting my 4th week today and just off the scale 6lb lighter than last week, 20lb in 3 weeks!! Another 4 stone to go. Xxx

Kay D this post has really helped me, I'm into my 3rd week and TOTM started yesterday. I'm normally heavy but today is worse than ever before and I've been really dizzy. If i didn't know better I would have thought i was experiencing a miscarriage this evening.

I've been fine the past year with it and it's just this month so I'm concerned. I'll see how I go and maybe phone the hotline to see. X

Ive got the copper coil for over a year and they have never been as heavy. I'm a bit concerned by it. It's not nice and I dont like giving detail but quite a lot of clots.

My period is really heavy and I've felt horrible and dizzy all day despite drinking 3 litres of water. Has anyone else had this problem? I've never had such a horrible heavy period ever. If I did know that in defo wasn't pregnant (which I'm positive as my fiancee has been off shore for 8...

Key to shifting the headache is loads of water. When i started I had a horrible headache but drinking 3 litres of water for 2 days helped me. Xx

I came on yesterday, had my second weigh in today and totally disheartened cause i only had 3lb off!! The time of month when I needed cheering up this has knocked me for 6. Still 100% tho and praying for big loses next week. Xx

I've another 3 days to wait!! I'm trying my hardest to hang in. I'm actually gutting my whole house today to try and keep my mind off food. I'd just love a really nice ice cold favoured drink to take this horrible dry taste out my mouth.

I think I'm struggling cause I'm due my monthly's in a few days and your right this is the time i would normally pigging out on anything I can get my hands on. I just can't stop thinking of food and how good things would taste. Its such a battle.

Jessie that is a really good idea to have you Menus sorted for a when you finish. Has your pharmacy helped you with them?! I think it's something that should do cause i find it easier to stick to. Ive still along way to go, would like to lose 5 stone on 100% and I'm only on day 12. I've really...

Brilliant thanks that can be my treat at te weekend.

How long were you on 100% before and how long did you refeed before?! My fiancee is dyin at the thought if me going on holiday with my shakes in October!! I'm only finishing day8 but want to lose 5 stone!! Xx

Did I hear cookie?! How long do you cook it for and in what?!

It did for me last time i done this. I still lost but not as much and then I had a bigger lose the following week.

Becky how did you manage at the gym? I'm really considering it but heard we were only allowed to do light exercise while staying 100%. x

Day 8 for me, got real motivation when I stood on the scales today!! First weigh in and had 11lb off. I hope it continues. X

Defo water, I was the same for a few days and then i had lost 5lb and put it on again according to the scales but Had my first weigh in today and 11lb off!! I'm loads more motivated now.

That is really fantastic new!! A big boost to keep on going. I've got my first weigh in tomorrow, can't wait but what I'm really excited for is my fiancee coming home in 3 weeks from working off shore and seeing the new skinnier me!! Xx

I'll just have to drink litres of water and have it when I get in. Can't believe how silly I was. X

Oh no!! I've come to night shift an forgot to bring my shake with me!! I had a soup at 7 but won't be home to 9 in the morning. HELP!! Anyone any tips of what I can do?! X

Well dine foofoo. X

Arlene I've got 6 stone to lose so I'll be hanging about. Just off to bed as finished night shift!! It was a killer, I've been up for 23 hrs and the first time I've felt hungry. I'm now into day 5 so hopefully it will get easier. Xx

Good way to think of that Jessie, thanks again. X

Ally I've just had my first shake if the day. I try to hold off to I'm starving to get the mist benefit from it. Although I'm trying to push it out so I can have at least one on night shift tonight. Xx

You are all doing soo well and Jenben I know what you mean about the tooth brushing, I've bought a travel size one to keep in my hand bag, they are on offer in boots at the min. Good luck with day 4!! Skinny we are coming to catch you!!

Have you been putting ice in ur shakes? I think it makes them taste loads better when they are ice cold! X

I didnt like the mousse, found it too hard to get down. I'm just starting day 4 and I'm saving myself for the weigh in on Monday. I'm starting night shift tonight so a bit scared how I'll be, up for 24 hrs and no food!!! HELP .

I've got loads of advise from people on here, I'm at end of day 3. You can have mint tea so they have advised to make it, let it cool and use to make the chocolate shake, put ice in as well and it's meant to be well nice. Not tried it as don't have chocolate shakes yet to next week. Another...

Good question cause I've brushed my teeth 4-5 times today and in only in day 3!! Is mouth wash a big NO?!

Jessie you are amazing!! Your story is what i needed to hear. I'm at the end of day3 And feel horrible. The cravings are sinking in and the metal taste in my mouth is horrible. Does the taste go or do you get used to it? Can you use mouth wash?! I'm brushing my teeth at least 4 times today. Xx

My friend done lighter life and said her consultant taught her that "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"!! She says it's soo true so let that be our motivation girls!! Keep going. Day 4 soon. Xxx

Does anyone have any tips for starting night shift?! I start tomorrow night but will be up all day tomorrow as well. I'm really scared cause u always need to eat to keep me alive on night shift. Are we not allowed anymore than 4 litres of water a day?! I've already had 3 today and that's...

I'm having the metal taste as well and my pee stinks so I think I've hit it, haha. I've felt horrible today but that might have been the fact that I was in the library doing a mentorship assignment. I've struggled with the diet coke craving today, I've not give in but I've been dying. I used to...

I'm only new, this is only day 3 for me. Thanks for the help. X

How did you make the latte?

Becky I see ur using ur iPhone as well so was wondering if you can help me. Every time I go into my profile or messages it tells me permission denied do you know how I can gain access?!

I didn't actually vomit last night but sat by the toilet for 10 mins last night feeling the need to. It was horrible i was clammy and had a horrible sleep last night as well.

I'm really looking forward to trying that now. Thanks for the tips as intend to just down my milkshakes as fast as I can. Lol.

People only think you look bad being skinny cause they may never have seen you any other way for a long time and sometimes never. Once they get used to it they will think differently. Xx

Good luck with that all. Well done you having the motivation with a tiny baby. Stay in touch and we can help each other along the day. I want to lose 6 stone so need all the help I can get.

Thanks for the tip Deezer cause I dont like the chocolate shake even tho i used to be addicted to chocolate. I will try this next week when I get my next supply. Thanks again.

Well done in day 2. I'm just finishing day 2 as well and feeling the love for day 3 coming. I really like the thought of takin pictures and measurements! Sounds brilliant to always keep that picture to know you can never go back once you have lost all the weight and to remind ourselves of all...

It's end of day 2 for me and I found it a bit easier as Ive been busy with my friends new baby but the headache has kicked in this evening and is horrible. When should we reach ketosis?! Ive managed 3lt water and onto my 4th. I'm saving my peppermint tea for a treat when I'm really struggling...

Thanks very much. You are all going to be a good help and I'm loving the app on my iPhone cause I can have it in work and when I'm feeling really needy.

Thanks I'm using I'm I phone so think this is it. Lol. Good luck for tomorrow.

I'm new to this. How can I reply without quoting?!

Someone has just answered that question for me and said it's ok to drink peppermint tea as it's made from leaves!! I think it's going to be my saviour as this is day one and I'm struggling with headaches already.

Thank you soo much. I think this could be my way of getting though. Today is my fist day and I'm having my soup, 3rd meal of the day. The headache and tiredness is kicking in already!! Thanks Lesley. X

Hi all I'm new to this and going to have my second shake. I was wondering if it anyone knows if I can have peppermint tea? I need something other than water and hate herbal teas. Please help, I've 6 stone to lose for my wedding and I'm really motivated. X
