...broke down and bought a scale....lets hope it keeps me motivated and doesn't add to my insanity! LOL

-5 lbs (TOTM) :D:D:D:D:D

Despite being that TOTM and breaking ketosis with my nightnurse cold medicine I still managed to reach -5 this week! I'm thrilled! I have to say, earlier in the week I did a good bit of walking, knowing I felt a cold coming on so maybe that helped to keep a decent loss this week? This...

yeah...what's up with the heavy leg thing? I thought it was just me, but some days they feel like led! Hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend! I've read some things lately that keep me smiling - "keep your eyes on the prize" "the more you drink the more you shrink"...both of those...

I have a friend who ordered online and she had a great experience - I can see about getting you the website if you're interested. I guess the woman she was in contact with was lovely and extremely helpful. Paid a fraction for a last year's design - she was over the moon and looked stunning~...

That's great news! Ya gotta love the (-) when you're hoping to stay the same...well done you! (*pats on the back*) :)

Ah sure....if nightnurse and tyrozets breaks my ketosis, so be it...I finally got a decent night of sleep and it doesn't feel like I'm swollowing razor blades today. Still 100% otherwise and with the amount of extra herbal tea I am drinking I'm not worried about making my 2-3 litres. Fingers...

Day 13 and going strong...with a head-cold anyway. Was dying for nightnurse at about 2 am but instead, suffered through it, emptying out my box of tissues and later having to resort to using t.p. I can't help but wonder if this is a result from all the shakes I have been drinking. I've never...

My friend dropped her kids off with a dozen gorgeous frosted buns...I guess the kids complained enough that all I had was fruit, rice cakes and plain popcorn....needless to say, when they left, she took her buns with her... I'm good, but I'm not THAT good. No way they would've survived an...

The rain has finally stopped so I should be outside with a paintbrush in hand finishing the fence while there is a break in the clouds. Instead, I have 2 (+2 more kids this afternoon) around my ankles today since there's no school today. The two kids I'm minding are real couch potatoes and...

I wonder if that TOTM will have the same effect on me. I had my first weigh in the very first day of my cycle...I guess regardless I was going to see a loss at the scale with it being my 1st week on LT -- I'm feeling greedy now hoping that I'll have any extra big loss next week too since my...

I weighed in on Friday....-11 lbs! I nearly hugged the woman who weighed me in I was so happy. I dont have a working scales in my house so it was a complete and utter shock! I never dreamed I could : 1) not eat for a week and not die 2) lose 11 lbs in one week (even though I'm sure I gained that...

That's wonderful news!!! Congratulations~ Oh how exciting! You'll look fabulous on your big day!

Glad to hear you're feeling better - your motivation inspires me! When I'm sick, I'm lucky if I'm motivated to move from the bed to the sofa! Take it handy though, eh? No point over-doing it for a set-back later! Way to go you!:chores016: Have fun with the pups!

Ok, so where do I book sky diving lessons? :) I somehow got through yesterday, ignoring that little voice telling me 101 different ways to justify eating ust a hard boiled egg. The voice promising me (once again) that I'll stick to healthy eating and avoid all sugar, carbs, etc...just go back...

:help2:Today was hard. Today was REAL hard. TOTM + LT = my idea of hell. If by some miracle I can make it through today without binging I will know that I can do pretty much anything- sky dive, mountain climb, deep sea dive --you name it! This is MUCH more of a challenge than any of that! Oh...

Have a wonderful holiday, safe travels, great times and hopefully lady luck keeps at your side! :)

Drum roll please...... 11 lbs :bliss: I am absolutely thrilled with the results~ I knew I had lost, but 11 lbs?! In one week?! (In your face weight watchers! :p) With WW I would weigh and measure every morsel of food, count points, kill myself in the gym and even then I NEVER had such a...

Week 1: a whompin' 11 lbs!!!:eek:

You've made this journey once before - you know the struggles before you and that hasn't dampened your determination in the slightest...way to go WatchMeShrink!!! You CAN do it!!!

Just a couple of hours away from my first weigh in and I'm a bit, ummm...blah. I'm somewhat excited because I KNOW I've lost this week, but I also woke to find it's that totm, so I'm afraid there's not going to be the great big encouraging loss that most people seem to experience on their first...

-6 lbs?! That's great news! As it would happen, I picked up a 5 lb bag of flour this afternoon...so I'm VERY impressed! Makes you wonder though doesn't it...where does it go? I mean, we KNOW where it goes, but... wow...!? -6 lbs... Keep it up girl~ :D

Thanks everyone- of all things to "cheat" with...camomile tea...HA! My 1st weigh in is Friday...I'm relieved to know that I didn't botch my week's hard work!

Do you know if Oolong tea is safe? I can't find anywhere if it's leaf, bark or flower...I made the mistake and drank a cup of camomile last night without even thinking -- I was gutted once it dawned on me what I had done...oh I pray this hasn't messed up my ketosis! :(

That is a brilliant result! Going through my first week too so I can almost imagine how proud you must feel right now!! 10 lbs in one week?! Wow...I have my finger and toes crossed that I should be so lucky! Well done you! I'm with Pamdev - you can't get better motivation than that...

If there was ever a question before, there's no doubt about it now...I am an emotional eater~ or should I say was. My mother in law and I had a serious falling out a couple of years ago which has since resulted in us no longer being on speaking terms, not alone us being under the same roof. To...

I've used YouTube to learn how to knit - however, what pieces I produce would not be gift worthy! But at least it keeps my hands busy! :) I will be SO happy when I can start Nordic walking...once I can stop pushing a stroller! I sometimes wonder if I'll be able to walk upright without it...

Just to throw my 2 cents in - before getting pregnant with my daughter I spent 11 months on Weight Watchers and lost 60 lbs. After 2 failed attempts going back to WW and being 6 lbs heavier than my highest weight before joining WW, I've now turned to LT. LT has help me get control on my eating...

That's a fantastic result! Well done~ I have my first weigh in on Friday and I can only hope and PRAY I am as fortunate!!! Congratulations! :)

Oh Lordy no! No more fibre~ my brown eyes would turn blue! I suppose it's better to keep the pipes clear, but golly it gives a new meaning to "the school run" !! :eek: :8855: Hopefully I'll soon settle. Interesting about the lactose intollerence - both of my kids have milk allergies and aside...

I'm right there with you on that one sister! OH doesn't know who he's waking up to some days Dr Jekyll or Mister Hyde! LOL It gets real ugly every other month, I just blame it on my mean ovary! :)

Hurray! I made it through the weekend and like a superhero- stood fists on hips looking my cravings and temptations in the eye and informed them that they no longer have control over me! Day 4 and I'm feeling great! All except for one teeny tiny little aspect of the reactions to being on LT...

Oh Lilac, I just made my way through your Diary - what an inspiration you are!!! And seriously, you have stunning curves and great taste in dresses!!! I'm soooo excited for you and your trip to Vegas! Try to hit the Bellagio around sunset - the fountain out in front of the hotel/casino does...

I'm reminded once again what a newbie I am...I just NOW found that you have 19 pages on your diary...I don't know how I missed that before! I'll catch on soon, I hope. Perhaps I should go ahead and look at that tutorial thing...I've never been much for reading directions, I've always been a...

Sounds like you're off to a great start! I hope you have a great and successful week!

Ya know Pamdev, it does feel pretty darn good. For the first time in a very long time I feel like I'm finally in control of myself again and I really cannot put a measure of pleasure on to that! And aside from feeling a bit run down -- which, if I was to be perfectly honest, it's not all that...

Thank you Irene, this site has been my life-line to success I just have to say! Reading how others are in this same boat, have the same weaknesses and struggles but are fed up with being overweight and are ready to do something about it...it truly does help knowing I'm not the only person in...

Thanks everyone. Great idea of batch cooking! I'm starting that this morning after I have my first shake so the temptation isn't so strong. When my husband and kids came home I shoved their plates at them and got the heck out of the kitchen. The only thing I could equate the feeling to was...

a bit late on posting and I hate to go back to old topics...but I have a question about the bad breath thing...that's how I picked my site name by the way... "stinkerbelle" - my husband coined it when I told him my breath was going to turn rotten (one of my biggest peeves). Is there anything to...

Day two on Lipotrim. The mornings have been quite easy actually, as it's the busiest time of the day for me, but as the 4-5pm lull sets in I have nothing but food on my mind. This empty feeling in my stomach doesn't hurt it just feels different. I'm used to covering this feeling up with food...

I think you'll find a lot of inspiration on this site. There are people who have lost over your entire body weight by dieting! So just when you feel your 4 1/2 stone is impossible...check out their stories...that's what helps me anyway! Best of luck! :)

Nice one...I'm a bit red faced that I didn't figure that one out! Thanks for getting me up to speed :)

Thanks so much everyone - it took me a bit to find all of these responses, I'm such a newbie! I am hoping to turn the food addiction into an exercise addiction at some point, but I am soooo painfully out of shape that even walking the dog a mile, I'm wrecked for the rest of the day. Before I had...

Hi all~ serious newbie here...could someone please tell me what "TOTM" means? I've seen it in a few different posts now and for the life of me I cannot figure it out??? Happy to see you stayed focused and didn't cave. The one thing that helps me - cliche as it it - "nothing tastes as good as...

If there was any reservation about starting LT before, your post was exactly what I needed to push me into the "YOU CAN DO THIS GIRL!" mode and I thank you for your honest and enspiring insight that comes only with taking that first plunge. Here we go...cheers! Here's raising a vanillia shake...

Ah sure, if you're on this site you know the stage I have reached. I'm sick of having clothes that are 2x hanging on the clothes line. As if hanging them to the extreme left or right side of the line will mask their enormity to my neighbours! I am tired of not having the energy to play with my...
