Congrats...you're heading in the right direction xx

Ah well, good luck for tomorrw then...fingers are still crossed!

I am trying to do my diary each night. I usually come on about the same time to distract me from temptations! I find mine's not very exciting but it's more to keep me on track and does seem to work

Oh I feel your pain, can imagine the smell was lovely! Well done on resisting, don't know if I'dve been so good in the same position

How did your weigh in go today Lass? It's been a busy and stressy day today, trying to sort my classroom out but everything from around school's been dumped in there - was sulking a bit! Had a really bad headache, not sure if from school or diet. Am trying to up my water over the last few...

Just wanted to say hello and well done, 9 pounds in a week is brilliant. It's really hard starting again isn't it. I did Lipotrim and put it all and a bit more back on. Have found it harder to be 100% this time round. Well done on going to the gym and good luck for your weigh in tomorrow...

I agree it'll just be your body clinging onto the water, give it a few days and it'll be gone. I daren't get on the scales after this weekend!

Thanks Lass, it was a lovely weekend, really enjoyed it. It was well worth straying from the exante path. I'm quite amazed at how my mind set has fitted back into place today. Hope you've had a good day x

Thanks Darcy and Wow! You're doing so well. Am very jealous of your holiday especially as autumn seems to have arrived early here. I've been 100% so far today but have had some very hungry moments

Good luck for your restart. I personally don't like the soup, but I think it's a matter of personal taste and adding in herbs or spices to improve them to your liking. I did Lipotrim 3 years ago and put it all back on (and more). It was my own fault because I didn't learn to eat in...

Thanks DustQueen - I'm nearly at 50! Better get posting a bit more

I've just finished my vanilla shake - yum! I am avoiding lesson planning by messing about on here...must get my backside into gear and get on with it. Am like a teenager have had all summer to do this but leave it til the last free day...nothing changes! Happy ironing xx

Hi Kelly I've just read through your diary and have to say I love dresses 1 & 2 - you can still get into one of them by Christmas there's plenty of time. My goal's Christmas too...think of all the gorgeous bargains you'll fit into by sales time! I'm a primary teacher too and am waking my brain...

Hi YM. Don't fret about the snacks - I've been awful the last week, would put your cheese and nuts to shame! But am back with a vengeance today. We are doing so well, look at the percentage you've lost. Am defo up for a 100% exante week. Have a good day x

I never understood why the drinks powder on Lipotrim was so expensive...what was in it, gold?! I think it was a con knowing people were so desperate for some flavour that they'd buy it. I 'treat' myself to a can of coke zero (one a day) when I'm tired or if I'm feeling hungry it really fills...

Can anyone tell me how to add my ticker? Do you have to write 50 posts before you can do this? Thanks x

I'm back after an awful week foodwise, but very fun! Had an unscheduled visit from a friend who lives overseas and haven't seen for ages. So on Friday had to eat to prepare my body! Then Saturday and Sunday has been full of wine, cocktails & lots of lovely meals out. Would love to say...

Haha Carrie I like you're style. Next time someone says 'you're too thin now, my Mum should say I know but you're still fat!' Don't think she'd have many friends left do you?!

OOPS! Dulcolax not Dilcolax!

I have found sennakot good but I don't use it often. I've also used Dilcolax which works a little too well and I can't usually leave the house the next day!!

Another good day today. Two shakes and a bar but have been feeling so hungry. Musn't be back into ketosis yet and have had a lot of coffee to fill the gap. Been very busy so am shattered, read on here about people having heavy feeling legs and have experienced that today...bed soon, g'nite xx

Yes! I don't tell anyone except immediate family and a couple of close friends because people think it gives them the right to an opinion just because they don't understand it. Be prepared for people saying 'ooh you've lost too much weight now, you're looking gaunt!' which is what they've...

Mmmm chocolate orange shake sounds nice, will have to give it a try. Hope your stomach feels better today - have a good day xx

Good morning all. Have had a lovely sleep and am now awake feeling positive about today, am determined to be 100% again. Hope everyone has a good day xx

Well have had a much better day today - 2 shakes and a bar. Am quite hungry though! Have had my hair cut and it is very nice but very different, will take a bit of getting used to! Have also bought 2 DVDs to use resistance bands with so that I can be toned once the flab is shifted. Will be...

Thanks for this LD4M. I'm not a daily weigher but I have decided to not weigh now for a month so I'll see if this works for me xx

Mmmm mint and vanilla sounds nice. I have used mint tea water with choc shake before and it was nice. I have peppermint and nettle tea which is lovely at nighttime...is nettle okay on this diet?

None of mine have cut outs so I've always used scissors xx

Gorgeous pictures! Just wanted to say congratulations really, hope you enjoy your packs when they arrive xx

Welcome I only tell those who need to know, it's easy where I work cos nobody really stops for long at lunchtime. I agree about other diets I used to find that I obsessed about food and was constantly thinking about my next meals or how many calories I had left for the day. This diet really...

Wow Dawn, you've done amazing...16 pounds in a month means you're ahead of yourself you must feel really pleased. Think it's gonnna be hard to stay off the scales for a month but would like to try and am sure I will start to see it and clothes will start to fit better before the month is...

Thanks Lass I'm over it now, but still feeling full! I have to say even though the pizza was lovely at the time it was too much and I felt a bit ill in bed last night. I think I was more mad at the choice of food not that I'd eaten. If I'd had chicken and veg or something I wouldn't have...

Well I am starting a diary to try and keep myself on track. I've been doing this diet for a month now and at my WI this morning I'd lost a stone. I'm pleased with this as it means I'm on track and I'd decided to treat myself with a new hair cut tomorrow. However, at Tesco tonight I bought...

That sounds lovely Riggie, will suggest it to my Mum as she has the soups, I'm a shakes & bars girl!

Hello Missy I've just read your diary and wanted to say don't be discouraged. I'm a slow loser too (but seem to gain it v.quickly...so unfair!) and I am focussed on a stone a month rather than what I lose each week. In my first week I only lost 2 pounds (but I did cheat twice). Then the...

I love it! It's my inner mantra - will need it when I go back to work and am faced with all the cakes & biscuits in the staff room xx

I have tried it today too and can see it being a godsend on cold & tired autumn afternoons. To me it tastes like the sachet you get in super noodles! I have the reduced salt one and the saltiness it just right for me.

Oh yes I forgot about my sticker chart! I have one in my kitchen with sticker stars on every good day and big sad faces when I've cheated. I have had to put 4 sad faces on this month and I don't like them looking at me! However, at my WI this morning I have lost a stone in a month so am on...

Hi Oooh Dawn I am 50/50 about whether to do AAM week as I'm worried about my willpower the week after. Will be interested to know how you get on and if you still lose during that week. Do you do a diary as well?

I agree with paying attention to your bowels! I also think I've found it easier to start and his diet while I've been off work as I've not been tired or stressed. However the downside to this is sometimes I've been bored...which in the past I would've filled with eating. So I would advise to...

Wow fantastic weightloss. Congratulations!! x

Yes my clothes are more comfortable. None of my smaller (old) clothes fit yet but as I was squeeeeeezing myself into my clothes it's a good sign that they now fit without indenting my skin!! I am coping, just done a Ketostick and it was darker pink which is encouraging. Saw my sister today...

Hello Just wanted to say thanks for the encouraging words on another post & congratulations on your progress so far. You've lost about the same as me so was wondering if you can see any difference yet? I can't really but maybe it's because I see myself every day!

Hi Dawn Had a sneaky weigh in this morn, don't usually do that but am getting a bit obsessed with losing 2 pounds! Am now a pound off the stone loss and will be really p'd off if it doesn't go by Tuesday. I know what you mean about the 2nd month but I go back to work after 6 week hols...

True Tinkerbellerella...will have to give it a try

I bought some of the marigold/veg one of these after reading about it satisfying the craving for savoury things (i can't stand the soups!). However, when I opened it I made the mistake of taking a big sniff...yuk, have put myself off trying it now! Can I just ask does the salt in this make...

Wow, great stats! I've got my 1 month weigh in on Tuesday, have lost 12 pounds up to know so am crossing my fingers for the 1 month= 1 stone! You're post is very motivating to keep me on track.

Thanks everyone. Will try and ignore the taste and focus on the good it's doing me!

Thanks Bunny Hops I have tried the rinsing and breath freshener, will have to look for a tongue scraper in Boots. Is this taste temporary or should I expect it to stay for the whole time I am following this diet and in ketosis?

Hi all I am fairly new to this forum and am finding the threads really useful for keeping me on track. I just want to ask if anyone has any ideas to get rid of the awful metallic/ketosis taste I have. I have been drinking loads of water but it doesn't help at all. It is driving me mad and am...

I agree with geordiebear - think she may have been jealous. It is lovely when people start to comment in a positive way it can really give you a boost, especially if you're starting to lose willpower. By the way I'm a newbie on here and am loving the supportive comments
