Tracey Sitting here stuffed as a turkey, I fell off the wagon at easter and haven't got back on it since. I feel miserable :cry: I needed someone / something to give me the push. And after looking at tracey's before and after photos have motivated me to start all over again!!!!

You're one of us now ! Keep focused on your goal and let nothing or nobody knock you ! Won't be long til people start noticing, its such a great boost for your confidence plus you will be feeling much healthier ! Fair play for taking the first step :)

OH MY GOD ! What a fantastic result. LT is so worth it ! Roll on next week - we'll have nothing left of you in no time ! :)

Tracey you're fading away ! You look so thin, you look about 10st !

Hooray !!! Thats great news ! How about stretch marks ? Any1 notice any changes there ??? I bet your BF nearly doesnt recognise you. Not that he'd say lol

I agree, go on Tracey, send us a full length photo and the we'll comment :)

Awe we wont fall out with you now when you lose all the weight :)

He's probably jealous hun . He see's all the men looking at you since you've lost the weight and he probably feels insecure thats why he doesnt support you. I find the more you lose the more men stare !!!

Did you change your pic again Tracey ??

What did I just say about sympathy and nowhere ???? You men never listen

Was wondering there for a min but I guess we are big.......... but not for long , well I wont be :)

Thats what I thought but you nev er know with fattothin! Thanks Bea :)

Dont u mean LONER from Leeds lol :giggle:

Who ? The Irish ?:confused:

Excuse me for being blonde but whats a Mancunian? :confused:

best to wait til baby is sleping through the night before you come back to LT But sounds like you're doing very well On my first pregnancy I went from 10st to 15st 7 lbs because I 'ate for two' :eek: Main thing is you will be both healthy and a happy weight after the delivery :)

Hows the pregnancy going Bea ? Are you doing the auld eating for two lark ?? :rolleyes:

Each time i lost weight on a diet I conceived ! Now I have 3 kids lol

Nice one Fran ! You're right it was early this year, so that gives me more time to shift those extra cal's b4 the summer gets here..... horay !

That sympathy act wont work on me lol Try another forum - maybe lonely hearts lol :D

:eek:Amazing ! You go girl ! Any blips along the way or have you been strict? And do you exercise ?

Not from my partner he thinks there's something wrong with me, and everytime I give out to him he says - I wish u would eat cos then u wouldnt be so narky lol But my aunt and grandmother are doing this so it does help. I try stay away from the negative ones !

Just be careful about the whole shrinking shoe size thing , then nobody will want you :giggle:

An eating disorder ??? Well your friend sounds like she has a personality disorder lol all that negativity is not good for you at the moment. You need support and encouragement at the moment ! :)

Just tell her that it doesnt suit everyone but it seems to suit you and your waistline of course ! Keep us posted on the big loss and try not drink water b4 u go as it might weigh u down, i even take off jewellery etc beforehand lol :D

Ya know what they say about swingers lol :D

Your mates are very suttle lol Maybe best not to tell others what you're doing as they all seem to know someone who 'did that' and they either collapsed, got very ill or nearly died !!! I just tell others I'm on a detox, no alcohol or junk 1 Not long til your weigh in, almost as excited as u are...

I'm a cello too. Same as Oprah Winfrey ! Some of the clothing suggestions are fab, take a look :)

I've lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks ! So I've proven it to myself that it does work :)

Very good fat to thin, that was sooo from the heart, I wasnt sure if you had one or not b4 now as U nearly made me put paprika in my strawberry shake :doh: Onwards and upwards it is so! I wanna be like youuuuu I wanna walk like you talk like you....... you get the picture :D:D:D

How bold were you and how did it effect your weight loss ???

Why didnt you post this topic yesterday morning b4 i reached for that evil egg ?? Ah well its over now, just make sure you post it early for next easter x

Any oppertunity to get close to a woman lol :D But anyway, here you go :hug99: Fat to thin, did you ever have a blip ?? seeing as your on this programme quite a while

Thanks all. Yes today is a new day and I'm so happy I'm back on track ! Didnt sleep too well lastnight after all that choc, it wasn't worth. The main thing is I've learnt from it :)

Awe, I feel worse now ! Tomorrow is a new day , I will be good, promise. I bet I'm not the only one or am I ??? I cant help it , I'm a chocaholic :cry:

A slap on the wrists for me. I ate a whole easter egg in one sitting. Obviously my eating habits havent changed , if i go straight back on it do you think I might not gain weight ??? :cry:

Its a mind/body exercise almost like yoga. If you google it you can watch an 11min video of pilates from youtube :)

Here Here ! I dont know where I'd be without you's. Actualy I do know where I'd be without you's............. the FRIDGE LOL

Always here to help ! Your sheer dedication will show on the scales next week , best of luck :)

Well done Tracey ! You're such a Thinspiration to us all hehehe ! :happy096:

Well done scotsDistraction ! Treat yourself to something nice to wear, nothing to expensive as you will be out of them in no time ! Maybe buy something with an elasticated waist or a good belt so you can tighten your jeans. I also have the same problem..... believe me its a good problem when...

Thanks marti, its worth a try ! I'd love a tummy tuck after this but dont know if i'm brave enough, so pilates will do for now :)

I bet the ex wishes you 2 were still together now after seeing the huge weight loss !!!

Awe thanks Marti ! Losing 8stone I'm sure is very difficult. But don't dwell on the fact it took you 3 yrs, the most important thing is that you've managed to keep it off ! I would suggest that if you are serious about starting LT that it may be a good idea to cut down on your carb intake now ...

Hi Marti, I also have to cook for H2B and the 3 children. I'm into wk 5 now but for the first few days I cooked foods that I wasn't very fond of. I also kept a bottle of water beside me to keep me from picking at food. To be honest, when I cook now I like the look of the food and I like the...

You could pretend u have to go to hospital the next morning and are under strict instructions from the doctor to fast 24hrs b4 hand. Always works 4 me :D

Hi Harriet, how much excercise do u do on a daily /weekly basis ?

Well done on the great weight loss ! Wont be long til u fit into the 14s. I promise, if you stick with it , the weight will just fall off you!

Well at least he's trying to help you. My H2B sits on front of me with pizza hut, chocolate and crisps ant tells me how good it tastes and how much I'm missing out on this yummy food. So I gave in once, and was horrified that he said.. see, I knew you wouldnt last ! I was gutted to say the least...

Hi shamrock , I also worry about excess skin but I am slowly beginning to excercise as I believe this will help. So far i have lost 3st 6lbs and have 4st 10lbs to go. But if I do hang - I will consider surgery ! Best of luck with the programme :)

Men full stop are not great at this apart from a few. I asked my other half to start with me and once he heard he had to give up alcohol he nearly had a heart attack ! you will be so proud of yourself for doing this.

Best of luck dizzy nays. You haven't got far to go, you can do this, there's always help on this site. We're all in the same boat !

Have to say, I haven't been brave enough to try the soup but I did hear from others that u can add onion and pepper ! I heard that others add celery but I'm not sure if u can add this ?? Try the shakes with crushed ice, its not so bad on your throat ! You'll really have to experiment with...

Whats wrong with having both ?? As they say, variety is the spice of life ! Yeah my other half got it lastnight, he now thinks I'm a fruit and nut cos then I rang him this morn to say I love him :) You'll definitely be in the 14s next week !

And you only at this six weeks?? Thats an average of 6lbs a week, I'd say there's nothing left of you at this stage :D Was doing really good up until yesterday evening, then started getting really dizzy, ***** and moany, then i got the shakes (as in withdrawal from alcohol ) and then cried for...

Congratulations and well done lillie. You should treat yourself to something nice for doing so well, maybe a new top , or a trip to the salon after all ur hard work. I'll try that water trick too, thanks for sharing that ! :)

Welcome Amanda, You sound so much like me ! I was also feeling poorly at the weekend so didnt start til monday. When I had my first shake I thought I was going to be sick and didnt think I could stick LT but then i logged onto another forum to see what I could add to the shakes. Now, I have to...

Hmm I'll get u back. Watch this space ! Although i believe curry/chilli powder increases ur metabolic rate leading to increase in weight loss. Thanks Lizzie for the advice, its nice to know who really is here to help !:)

Really ? ? Or is that a joke ? You woulnt deprive me of one of my 3 a day shakes would u ? What does it taste like ?

Thanks Gemma, Well done on the weight loss. I will give the peppermint a go. Is it peppermint tea i add to it. The strawberry is quite bland. It smells yum but its very powdery, as i say - it tastes like a load of squashed up asprin :) !

Hi Caroline, How is the ww going? I'm on day 2 of Lipo and finding it ok as i didn't expect much else ! I used to be on ww, came off it in Jan but had managed to lose nearly 3 stone before putting some of it back on. It does work and u can still have a social life. Problem is, I'm addicted to...

DOHH ! :busted:

"there is more to life than food" I wish i could believe that ! True about the strawberry, Maybe I'll just have o leave that flavour out till im desperate ( that will probably be tomorrow :) ) And as for the chicken soup. I can just imagine, although I did hear you can add celery and onion and...

me too daisy; last time I was in the 12s was probably my teenage years ! Tracey, well done. I'm not sure if your butcher would have that much fat. But I'm sure I can help.. I have loads of it ! U skinny Minny, ur a great incentive to us all. Keep up the good work !

Thanks for that LizzieB, I swear to god - this going from fat to thin lark is costing me a small fortune - but look on the bright side - at least when I'm skinny it won't cost much, cause I'll probably only be eating a lettuce leaf a day :D

How is LT going for you today ? I'm on day 2 now - didn't think I would pass day 1 but I did and now I'm so happy. I want to prove to myself that I am not going to be fat for the rest of my life ! Let us know if we can be of any help :)

I think I will invest in one so. Can u tell me how much they cost?

thanks scorpio.., But any tips for the strawberry? I'm trying to keep this diet as varied as possible !

Wow 3lbs thats great that ur still losing! On some diets, after a couple of weeks the weight loss slows down to between 0.5 to 2lbs a week. Thank god we're not on those one's ha :D If u ever feel really low about your weight loss, whats really good is , to go to the local butchers and ask him...

Dear LT users, I'm not going to lie, these shakes are like punishment to me ! So I had a look at other threads and found a few solutions, which I have to say - they tasted quite nice. However not many of you had any tips as to what to add to the strawberry (apart from ice) any suggestions ?

Have any of u used these slendertone's and seen results? Peopleay its the lazy way out. Sounds good to me :D

Dying to find out how you's get on girls, You's can give me a list of all the does and dont,s re wedding dress fittings! And David, I'm sure ur happy at the moment if ur stuffing ur face, but not long term- you'll be posting here again shortly , telling us how terrible u feel. I hate that...

Thats the attitude to have, by the sounds of tings you will never be overweight again! So have u had much of a social life while on this LT? I know people that go to clubs and restaurants with their friends and drank water :eek: ! ! And how about taking painkillers? I have been ill since the...

Sounds like its going to be a wonderful day. I'm just so nervous about eating normal again, I hope i will be able to enjoy food again when i get into the re-feeding zone. I just hope I wont be obsessed with food , I know I'm not getting married til next year but I'm already thinking , gosh I'm...

Thanks girls, Just wonderin when the food cravings will go? I see some of you are having blips even months into the programme ! Maybe your right, best to look at dresses when I'm happier with my body as I know what I'm like, if i feel fat it just makes me depressed and then i head for the fridge...

Hi Tracey and pineapple, I have to agree, losing weight does make u feel good. Nothing tastes as good as feeling slim ! :) I'm on day 2 now, feeling hungry but I'm just going to fill up with water. You's 2 are doing brilliant , I bet u cant imagine what life was like b4 u lost the weight...

Its day one and i've tried all 3 flavoured shakes. The best was vanilla with coffee and crushed ice. The crushed ice gives you that crunch that your missing, think i'll try the choc and peppermint tomorrow. Staying clear of the chicken soup, i've heard so much about it :eek:

Hi mummytoni, Give yourself a pat on the back for getting to day 5 :) ! Ok so u fell off the wagon over the weekend, but u got back on it ! I'm on day 1 and hoping i will make it to day 5 ! And as for the easter egg, next time be more careful with the empty easter egg wrapping, I place mine down...

You must be so proud ! Do you cook at home for the family? I'm cooking right now for the family and i'm finding it so hard. My other half says just give in, but i want to lose weight and i dont want to satisfy him :D Any tips ? I'm hoping this phase will pass in a few days :sigh:

Oh Gosh! I think I'll have to lower my standards so. Personally what is your favourite shake? And can i ask what clothes size your into now that you are into the 11 stones ? :)

To be honest, I think thats what I expected or an eddie rockets malt shake ! How about the bars? I'm expecting the coconut one to taste like bounty ! And the caramel bar to taste like a choc caramel rice Krispie square ! LOL ! What should i expect ? :confused:

Hi all fellow lipotrim users ! Just started today 25/02/08. I currently weigh 15st 9lbs ( well that was fri, I ate rings around me all weekend as i knew i wouldnt be eating real food for a while). I would really like to be 9st 7 lbs so i have 6st 2lbs to lose. But as daisy said, its best to take...

yeah your right, one thing at a time. Although, I did have a quick peek at some of the before and after pics on the surgical weight loss forum, amazing! Well, I had the chocolate shake, looked like a chocolate shake, smelled like a choc shake but it tasted like a load of painkillers i.e. asprin...

Thanks for the advice, i'll check out the surgical weight loss forum after i have my first ever shake :confused:

Hi can any of you help? I have over 6 stone to lose and wondering will i need to have surgery to get rid of those ' hanging' bits eg. tummy tuck when I lose all the weight ? Have any of you lost a lot of weight and had this problem? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just so curious as this is all...
