    Looking for advice/opinions

    Hi I was just wondering about doing LT TFR again. You can see from my signature what I've done before. I have lost weight with it before but keep putting it back on again which means that I haven't gotten to the root of the problem. So, here I am back over 14 stone and very unhealthy. Has...

    Drinking water in the cold

    Hi, I know the importance of drinking enough water and it really does make a difference to being successful. But, I'm so cold these days I just can't face drinking cold water, I drink lots of herbal tea but it's just not as hydrating as water. I can feel the difference after only a couple of...

    Another One Bites The Dust.

    Hi All, I weighed in for the second time on Wednesday last and in two weeks have gotten down 13 pounds. But, I'm afraid that's where the story ends. After being very ill, having severe reflux and peuking acid, I've had to refeed. It's not so bad, I only have to get down another 21 lbs to feel...

    severe heartburn

    Right, so lipotrim got back to me and what they suggested worked a treat. You can't use gaviscon or rennie, and as I'm already on a prescription drug equivalent to zantac/nexium. Water down the shakes, so I added 400mls, I only use the chocolate, strawberry and chicken soup. They said the...

    I have to refeed - gutted:(

    That's rough. I wish you well and like MBurke said, put your health first. Take care and remember if you can go TFR, you have the willpower to stave off a few munchie attacks.

    Week one complete.

    Hi, Just back from week one weigh in and lost 8lbs. I know that's good in logic but I was hoping for a higher number given it's my first week. :sigh: I have to be positive I know, and 8 is really good, it's just my sttitude but i;m working on that.:o They couldn't offer me any help with...

    What do you think?

    well I think I just proved to myself that not tracking weight is the way forward for me as I just got my starting loss and wasn't overly happy with only 8lbs gone, this is of course just the first week which is why I was expecting a bigger number. I won't be getting a number again for a month...

    Week 6 Experience...

    Hi Neaady, I usually have had enough by week 6 and tend to go on maintainence at that point. While there are no hunger issues, your body is wanting more by then and I think if it means being able to get out to do more exercise then that can only be good. When you have only a stone and a half to...

    Yep, I can definately identify with that, the house usually gets a going over when i'm TFR. If you're just peckish drink your water and have tea, having a shake a little earlier should interfere too much with your routine. What's important is to identify that you are just peckish and not...
