I've my first cruise next October which I want to feel happy in my skin for. I'm starting tomorrow morning so will weigh then and will start tentatively over now til new year then properly afterward..so getting myself back into things. Feel free to say hi. I'd love some support. H

Didn't happen, again! Just can't get my head in gear lol

Hi everyone Just a quick message. Starting my weightloss journey on the 1st July. I'm posting now to get my head around it! I've a lot of lipotrim to use up so will be combing that and one meal a day plus fruit and yogurt if Ifeel I need it. If youd like to come say hi, that would be lovely.

Just wondering how you're getting on? Managing to stick to it so far and have lost 7.3lbs in six days. I'll take that! H x

It never happened but tomorrow is another day:)

Definitely x

Yes all ready to go. Nervous but excited at the same time!

You too! How are you finding it so far?

Hi. I'll be starting tomorrow, 1st March. I've masses of sachets but hope to incorporate a small meal too. H x

Thanks for your reply. I've one or two conditions too but very hopefully success. I booked a holiday in May so something positive to aim for Hx

Hey Starting calorie counting tomorrow. I've done it before with success so I know it works. I am older now so it might be more difficult but I'm fed up with feeling mehh about myself lol Will update tomorrow once I've weighed myself. Hx

Just starting cc today. Im an old hand so I know what im doing, it just sticking to it. 13.8 as of today. Cant wait til im 12 something ! Ill get there x

Today....got to start this sometime soon lol

Didn’t happen. Start again today.

So 31 Oct means starting lipotrim again. It’s been a while but I’m fed up with feeling rubbish about myself. The job I now do means I’m in the car a lot travelling to and from patients I see and often don’t eat anything until evening so I’m hoping it won’t be too difficult to get used to using...

Now 87.5...all going the right way :)

Coming down gradually but consistently which is good :)

So far 0.6 kg down :)

Thought I’d use the maintenance shakes to start with and keep to around 600-800 calories daily so gonna see how it goes..start tomorrow Tuesday 7 May. Will weight tomorrow and see how I get on til holiday on 9 June...not long but a start :)

hi. thanks for coming onto my thread and saying hi :) lol

shake 1 down, bar down, one shake to complete today h x

didnt happen will restart slowly tomorrow, going fully onto LT from next monday x

started really on sunday..two shakes and one meal, how ive done it before and works for me :)

So here's a bit about me. Next year I'm starting a new career. I'm currently studying at the moment to become a foot health professional...half way through and so enjoying it. I'm not prepared to start my new career overweight and unhappy so tomorrow, there's 55 days to Christmas Day..in amongst...

Hi i intend to start Monday too :)

thanks mini x

no course thats fine.

calorie counting has always worked for me if I really stick with it so here we go.. Not going to list everything I eat...just no time to but planning on two shakes a day plus a meal in the evening... Going to see how it goes :) Wednesday 3 May 2017...weigh in at ?

Well done you've got the right attitude to totally succeed. I'm starting tomorrow..I've hit bottom now so the only way I can go is up lol hating what I've done but going to sort myself out

Don't beat yourself about it x move on it's just a little blip

ive always found watching foodie tv programs always seemed to help my cravings bezarely (SP) ??!!

think im going to join you if you fancy a mate along the way?! its not my first time probably my fourth or fifth lol but im going through a few medical probs atm and the weights going back on and i need to nip it in the bud as im in pain a lot and being lighter will only be a good...

Your doing very well and you should be proud of yourself x

Going to start off gently and work into it...putting pressure on myself doesn't work x

To get going would be good lol u?

So thought I'd weigh every other day or so to start with and take the pressure off a bit then see what I think. Have a holiday in Iceland in six weeks so something to start me off with incentive wise. X

I'm not lol all good intentions then hurt myself and been feeling sorry for myself...feeling stupid now but tomorrow is the day x all set

Hi so it didn't happen. It'll be the 11 Feb tomorrow. I will weigh tomorrow then it's two maintenance and a calorie controlled evening meal every day plus going to get back into my running again...I've got a wardrobe full of clothes to wear and my butt don't fit lol

So back to it for a few weeks :) going to start gradually tomorrow then properly by 10 Jan. Have. A lot to work towards for 2017 and I fully intend to get there. I started off doing lipotrim last year on my own for a while, I'm hoping I get some company soon x

so im not new to calorie counting..ive been doing it off and on for years and recently after reaching a goal id set doing lipotrim have been using cc'ing to lose a bit more/maintain. ive missed using minimins and also think its holding me accountable which is what i seem to need to stop me...

so tomorrow I'm starting calorie counting to lose the Reminder of the weight I'd gained and get to the weight I'd ideally like to be .... Helen

so update..1.5k to lose from holiday on 30 august..nearly there. weighing only few days and using maintenance stuff as well as logging calories on mfp and its dropping off. next goal to get to 69k by december!

Back from holiday and back to losing weight! Hope all are well and will update soon X

I lost the equivalent to a 40 inch flat screen tv lolol

Finished refeed yesterday. Exercising pretty much every day, either walking, biking or running. I'm using mfp to monitor what's going in and the exercise with endomondo. Weight is steady and stayed the same since coming out of ketosis, well down 0.1kg so barely anything. Really pleased with...

Down 0.1kg so to 75.4kg :) last day of refeed tomorrow

i dont know anything about that x do you just limit the amount of carbs you take in and increase what? protein?

Had brown basmati salad and tofu and small slice of watermelon for snack later. Totally scrummy :) carbs definitely set your hunger off though I've noticed.

you never know it might kickstart things..took me a while to get it right in my head. dont beat yourself up over it, honestly xx

so day 4 of refeed and allowed more carbs today. lunchtime i had a salmon fillet in a pitta bread with salad and an alpro cherry yogurt. it was SO good although felt and still feel a little uncomfortable afterwards and thats to be expected i guess! not sure what to have this evening, will think...

And update, did just over 19 miles :)

I've worked out I've lost 51.5lbs but there is no badge now...never mind

Down 0.4kg to 75.5. Off for a bike ride now, day off :)

Did a 7.5k walk evening plus 2.5k this morning! Think I've worn the dogs paws down today! Lazier day for him tomorrow

feeling much more positive today. yesterday scales were fluctuating and i dont like it. i know its normal but 1k in one day and then down again the next plus 0.1kg . i know im doing everything right but still...puts me off! so was going for a run today but its so hot out there, unless it cools...

0.1kg down so 75.9...not sure how this will play out over refeed but will follow to the letter X run tonight up to 3.5k in three weeks from nothing for about a year lol so pleased. Have a 5k in Bournemouth do to in oct to aiming for a reasonable time for that X

Thanks :)

Where it normally put?

my signature? Thanks

Had an extra whip today. I did about 700 calories worth of exercise and was starving...the guilt though...madness. Having this mindset atm isn't healthy is it

Excellent no way in hell it can't come off... Xxx

0.5kg off so met my mini goal!!!

Just worked out I'm 1 lb away from my half century badge!

Very x

Thanks, pleased too X

Refeed starts either Sunday or Monday now. Want that last half kilo off then will be happy X holiday not til week Tuesday so time to refeed properly then Tenerife here we come lol just have to repair any damage I do when I get back plus lose the last 7kgs... X

Those Atkins bars are totally scrummy..alternating between one of those, lipotrim maintanance bar and chocolate whip :)

So weigh in is another 0.9kg down this morning making 2.0kg this week and 76.5kg, 0.5kg from my revised pre holiday want-to-get-to weight! Wooooooo

lol ive never been called that before!!

at least theres a few of us now..was just me for a week or two!

and 0.2kg off today..proper weigh in tomorrow (changed day) (1.1kg this week, so far)

what a great boost to your morale..5lbs is fantastic! :)

yeah ive taken to making lots more food from scratch ...though the family arent complaining..they love my fruit and nutty rockcakes and veggie pasties with potato, cheese and red onion! not had one but they smell good! i know what you mean about going shopping though and feeling fat..you think...

Motivation is still up there xxx how you doing this week Joannie?

0.8kg down from yesterday so really pleased...

So back to what I was Saturday...well 0.1 less ...I've been back on three packets a day (two whips and an Atkins bar, wow so scrummy) and will continue with this til close Friday/saturday then proper refeed, just incase X arm and knee are healing now so hope to go for a run later

You sound so much more positive xx

I have no idea other than I'd been asleep and maybe wasn't fully asleep ...tbh it's a complete blank!

very sore and have a knee with an egg on top lol

that was an interesting weekend. messed up foodwise saturday then sunday back in control again. sunday night blacked out and fell out of the backdoor and scrapped all up my arm, knee and going to have some great bruises. lovely way to end the weekend! weight increased by a kilo and not...

Hehe thanks Joannie X

So as it says on my ticker (it will update itself soon) 20lbs to go. Fitting into size 12 and some 10's so really pleased. Weight loss has slowed down considerably but exercising and now on day four of refeed and will stick to this and two maintenance for a while as it's working. As long as the...

was like that with dulcolax but tried asdas own and i dont get that (thank god) x

yeah tried all that and this is the only thing that gets things moving unfortunately

so staying on two maintenance now and one day of days 4-7 every day (from saturday) (which includes carbs etc) until i go away. this way its easier for me as getting home lunchtime and trying to make a meal whilst fitting in walking the dog in is virtually impossible and then im so hungry i grab...

Weight hasn't moved for a couple days but that's Fine, still on day three, last day tomorrow. Still having to take something to make me go but want to ease that off ASAP..don't like doing it but needs must. Going to make my weighin day on a Saturday from this week and also weigh on a wed but...

thanks x pleased as well :) gotta keep going though...more to go yet!

1.8kg this first refeed week. Still doing day two til Wednesday then three days of that then days 4 - 7 as the sheet says. Going to go back then to two maintenance a day and a meal in the evening at least until the holiday, be sensible but enjoy myself away then two maintenance and a meal til...

re TMI are you still going to the loo ok? ive had to resort to taking two lots of laxatives during the week to move things along otherwise i just dont go at all!

well done you...sounds like youve got it sussed x

i messed about a bit at the beginning and was having a couple slices of ham every other day and my weight was still dropping but then it started to stall so i got down to it properly, drank more water and moved more and it all fell into place x

Hated the strawberry and vanilla flavours with a passion so tended to stick to chocolate and the occasional flapjack

Yeah mines up today too. It seems to right itself after two days with me so I know the initial weight it correct. It's just fluctuations

Too right lol,X

Just make sure your drinking enough, that's what moves my weight along, that and exercise xx lost nothing at all? That puts you off then doesn't it

So a whole kg lost since yesterday, met my mini goal and exceeded it by 0.3kg making so far total of 1.8kg this week...very pleased with this refeeding! Was going to have two meal today but going out now so will just take a bar and do that tomorrow X

You just have to keep that end goal in your mind and how good you know you will feel and look and you will be fine :)

More of a sweet toothed person..it's what got me in the overweight way I was X yes, so far so good but being majorly controlling about which I think, I'm always going to have to do and not drop it and go back to my old ways. It just proves time and again it's no good for me...makes me feel I'm...

so the third day of day one refeed is here and all been fine so far. each evening meal tastes so lovely and i fully appreciate it too. tomorrow starts day two for i decided, three days and carry on like that until the end of refeed day 7...then see what to do next. all going ok though so...

my weight too has taken a long time to get itself into gear this time. its only been because ive upped my exercise and the amount of water that its got going again. perhaps you need to do this? x i know everybody is different so what works for me might not for you, but maybe worth a try? it can...

Keep going, tomorrow's another day x

And...0.7kgs to go!

Im starting refeed tomorrow now. I've three LT shakes left and 14 LT maintenance (whips and bars) and going to do day one refeed wed Thursday and Friday then properly the other six days. After that not quite sure yet. Im going to Tenerife so may take the bars Witt me but will probably have...

but that pound isnt real and you have to tell yourself that..its just fluctuations. ive been getting it too..take no notice x

i dont understand your first paragraph sorry! you can stay on LT as long as you want. ive known people to be on it for months. its down to your bmi and the individual and their chemist. im refeeding cause ive now got maintenance stuff im going to use for the next few weeks before the...

2.1kgs this week and 1.5kgs to mini goal.....yay! and...comfortably back in my size 12's!

I'm sure they love you unconditionally xx

i hope its ok mini to stay on this bit whilst i do refeed then plan to use maintenance stuff for quite a while? possibly talk of food not sure yet. is that ok? dont want to upset anybody x

yes well make a cake/cakes once a week and make stuff inbetween generally...tastes better, you know what goes inside stuff and cheaper!

I have more shakes than I thought so not refeeding til Thursday now but that's fine, hopefully a bit more off by then :) yesterday was HARD but did it...it's the refeed I'm fixing my mind onto atm. Very busy day yesterday. Did a long almost two hour walk with the dog yesterday morning, usual...

2.1kgs now til mini goal.....:)

definitely xx

all you have to do is apologise for it next day :) dont beat yourself up about it xx i have good days and bad days with this...today feeling mehh as not had enough sleep. seem to have a short sleeping pattern when on LT and waking up 5.30/6 every day...subsequently im knackered by 7pm lol went...

it certainly makes a difference when you do doesnt it x what are you drinking generally? im having two mints tea plus 4lts plus of fizzy water and ordinary tap water....and only get up twice in a night lol

lol yeah ok xx

did a 3 mile walk with vince yesterday morning then a 12 mile bike ride afterwards..was supposed to go for my run but didnt, too tired. doing it today before i do the weekly shop... got my maintenance stuff today, 7 whips and 7 bars so will be starting refeed next week..not sure whether to...

Yes that's great. Getting close to that 'normal' bmi weight range...I'm creeping there gradually!

think we have to do whats right for each of us on this diet cause its so difficult....wow with 64.9kg thats amazing

1.9kgs this week and yes did weigh myself but on the home straight now and counting the days til I refeed X run last night was hard but it certainly does knock more weight off each time so note to self, definitely exercise (more than just dog walking)! (82.6)

nope. cant come quick enough!

he obviously has good taste lol basset hounds look so cuddly. are they?

ah right ok x

hes a dogue de bordeaux x lab. what about u?

abbz how to you change the weight loss on the chart above on lilyslim to show on the forum? its changed on my signature page but not on here? xx

nice to just get out and get some fresh air isnt it :) totally agree, i do it three times a day with our dog lol

4kgs to go to holiday goal is reached....come on!

Thanks you too :)

I've got a diary I'm writing..two more weeks (or ten days from today) I'm refeeding them using maintenance for a while. Not many of us about but it's just nice to write things down :) xx

Hi good luck. Back to running too and feels great. Will be glad when more weight drops though as makes it harder carrying the extra around..going slowly at 2ks for a week then upping it. Compared to what I was doing its a joke but got ta start somewhere! I think once you get the first couple of...

So 1.3kg this week. Not going to weigh in for two weeks, so much on and daily weighing is really not good for me so doing it this way. My diary, can do what I like lol (84.5)

Really busy now til next Saturday so will update then! Bye for now ....

1.1kg off today... 1.3kg so far this week, slooowwww BUT the right way:cool:

ok heres what ive decided to do...i will get to 79kgs and then stop and rethink. this is so damn hard and being hungry all the time makes it twice as hard. once i get to 79kgs (85.6kg now) i will refeed and then transfer to two maintenance a day plus a meal and do it that way until at least...

so another sts today. is fine i suppose at least its not a gain. finding it hard still. the feeling of being hungry hasnt really disapated(sp?) at all which i find odd so seems much more of fight this time. am going to start running again either today (if have time or at the weekend so looking...

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a pleasant trip. Keep up the good work..

yep. lots of different kinds. i like the flavoured ones best. why? x

0.2kg drop this morning, slow but steady...

Hi chubby mummy. Can only get easier from here on...just keep drinking the water, moving a bit and it'll come off. How much did you lose last time you were in LT?

So 1.9kg, almost met my goal so really pleased. Now week four ....

Absolutely fantastic, well done you. You must be over the moon

1.7kg ....

Also just worked out I've lost just over two stone since January through this and other ways so very pleased :)

Gone onto the Duran diet website which tells you what sort of weight you should be relating to age etc and it say 71kg so aiming for 69 I think is pretty much sport on. Will definitely stick to that...today's hard, all I want to do is eat. Gonna have my shake now to stop me from caving in...

And 0.1kg..after yesterday I'm surprised as it was a big jump, all good though. Hope to be 85kg something by weigh-in!

0.8kg off, 1.5kg so far this week.....:p:D

just say, i no longer wish to retain your services, thank you! easy x

thanks minerva. hope you have a lovely weekend too :)

well said x

a sts today. i really shouldnt weigh myself so much but it is totally addictive. another 4 1/2 - 5 litres drunk yesterday. not sure im looking forward to the weekend cause its always more difficult but at least i get a lie-in for a while tomorrow morning and my shake and a read of my book in...

so 0.6kg off this morning which is a welcome relief, as well as going to the loo at last lol

Fibreclear doesn't work for me so have to resort to dulcolax which certainly did the trick! TMI lol

So up to 4 1/2 litres already without trying which is a it weird, I'm guessing my bladder must be bigger lol just having chocolate sachet as a mousse which is nice. Am finding it hard atm but will certainly not cave in...to be continued

0.1kg towards week three. That's very off putting. need to poop so that probably doesn't help! Drank 4 1/2 litres yesterday and two cups of tea and diet zero..almost swimming lol think I'll stick to 4 litres, it was just too much

not sure what 2.7kg is in lbs (perhaps someone could tell me) but very pleased. having coke zero today as a treat. been looking forward to it for two days lol. going to increase my water from 4lts to 4.5lts to see if it makes any difference to daily weightloss, just interested x

0.1kg so 2.7kg loss this week, well pleased with that. Onward and downward .....x

So a good day all together and stayed in the straight and narrow. Tomorrows weigh in, two weeks in and eight to go!

you will be fine, just remember its only for a short length of time and you will shift it easily, no problem x

hi and welcome x well done on almost reaching your mini goal, its a great feeling isnt it :)

another 0.2kg this morning which is fine all going the right way so weigh in tomorrow for this week. (2.6kg so far)

course not. the more the merrier x hows it going?

i try not to have too many cause dont like taking pills but yesterday it was particularly painful so took some with the peanut flapjack i ate and waded through lol. and no at this stage of my life i dont really care what others think any more lol xx its a great feeling!

Well done you that's wonderful X

Never mind, got ta move on X

I just said I wasn't eating and nothing was said to me but you can bet they've plenty to say when I'm not there lol tbh though wasn't hungry at all and didn't worry me in the slightest as was in a lot of pain so that was all I could think of. Suffering a lot with pre-menopause symptoms one of...

Another 0.2kg so 2.4kg off til Tuesdays 3kg goal. Yesterday afternoon was very difficult. I was constantly hungry and having cravings. I had some Coke Zero and that stopped it. I have occasionally and it doesn't seem to throw me out of ketosis but does slow the weight loss down I bit but I think...

I'm about in the dairies if you need a weight loss friend. The offers there X

Thanks mini X all going the right way atm

Hi. Not doing lighter life but lipotrim and just wanted to say hi as we seem to be few and far between in the vlcd boards at the mo. X

So 59 days to my holiday. Need to lose as much as I can before that date as will be refeeding in that time and once I get back, probably lose the remainder some other way cause this isn't cheap although it certainly works. Going to research and think hard before I decide. Certainly once the...

0.6kg off so 2.2kg so met my mini goal so aiming for 3kg by Tuesday :)

thanks lisa..how you doing so far this week? x

0.3kg off again so 1.6kg to mini goal...a loss is a loss so pleased. Felt quite off yesterday but much better today. More energy and feeling positive I can do this x

another day another shake/lake of water......and 0.3kg down from yesterday so 1.3kgs towards my mini goal!

Thanks Lisa :) 10lb loss of yesterday but shall see tomorrow. Thought I could stay off the scales but nah lol not going to the gym but will be back to running once I hit 85kg again (just a figure I've got stuck in my head) but a number to work towards I reckon. I walk the dog three times a day...

1kg overnight! More of that please!

Thanks mini! X

another week starting and i thought id challenge myself to keep going though have to say its much easier now im in ketosis, all the cravings have disappeared, thank god! so i want to lose 2kgs by next tuesday :)

I've drunk four litres of water, had three mint teas ...not difficult as much warmer weather today, thank goodness. Looks like I'm talking to myself again lol

you are totally inspirational..i take my hat off to you x

monday and a new week. getting slightly better i think. drinking more water now as its easier to take. went out with teh family geocaching yesterday again and walked about 3-4 miles in a large circle. really enjoyed it and got all the ones we were looking for. poor husband got cut through...

How's it going? X

Sunday to cope with. Find weekends the most difficult food wise. Still have cravings though not as bad. Did a 12.5 mile bike ride yesterday which was good fun, dodging the showers!

Well done X I'll be about for weeks so we can help one another if you want X

I know just think of your first weight loss and how good your going to feel and how smug!

keep strong x get out for a walk?

your right x not sure about you but only my close family (husband and two girls) know im doing this. dont want any negativity coming my way as its hard enough as it is.

ive decided to not weigh myself until the day before my holiday which will be on the 29 august as before i was weighing myself every day and its not always helpful when the scales dont move, particuarly when you get closer to goal. ive put them down in the cloakroom and as i only weigh myself...

ditto x

you totally will. im the same here too if thats any consolation. food is always on my mind (as well as on my stomach, hips etc!). we will get through this!

hope your days going well so far :) keep drinking the water!

another day another shake. feeling ok and have a white tongue now so hopefully ketosis not long to arrive

third day in and had my first shake of the day. feeling ok really. felt a big ikky yesterday but nothing to do with lipotrim, just hormones lucky me.

hi michelle. first did it in 2008. then couple years ago. fell off the bandwagon so just sorting it out but does get harder the more times you attempt it! successful in both attempts and got to my goal x h x

Third shake almost finished. Read some comments from a lady on here, sorry can't remember her name, and has inspired me no end and not give in! So thank you X

just read your comments and thank you, youve inspired me enough to stick to it as finding it hard here on day 1 x

want to eat something right now but wont cave in.....

Two shakes down so far.. I came home lunchtime to find vinc had opened the cupboard and made a huge mess on the kitchen floor and I didn't turn straight to the biscuit tin which is a first in a long time. Very pleased with myself but not with Vince lol Al tidied now. One more shake and a long...

finally back to lipotrim after a few false starts. feeling happy to be in the 'zone' again :))

That is absolutely fantastic you must to so pleased! I'm back tomorrow. I've given myself ten weeks to lose as much as I can before my holiday :) I've had a couple of false starts but raring to go now.

yes unfortunately but a great deal of it back on but it wasnt the shakes it was me. been under a huge amount of stress with a very difficult mil and then she became ill etc, went into a home and subsequently died end of this march. its been a huge emotional rollercoaster which i didnt cope with...

didnt happen but starting today. already one litre down and three more to go today! how are you chunkychops? h

just a quick into. Have successfully completed lipotrim but fallen off the bandwagon so hopping back on for the ride once more lol Starting tomorrow with a few kilos to lose but determined to feel and look better by the end of the year :)

Hi. I'll be on another go too. Starting back tomorrow. :) pleased to meet you! H

a very scary weigh in of 220.6lbs. i stuck to exante for 1 day lol its just not me. im going to use them up though as breakfast for the next i dont know how many days until there gone so they wont be wasted. this morning ive had one shake. im planning on having a bagel with tuna and tomato...

i thought writing everything down in a diary would be a good idea for me and to hopefully look back in a few weeks when im lighter and feeling happier and see how far ive come. im hoping it will keep me on the straight and narrow :) i thought id weigh everyday as i know that will keep me...

they were locals admittedly the size of sticks but even so...was cruel and ive never forgotten it! were going back to italy but to a different region but we love the country so much and have other, much more pleasant memories than those mentioned earlier :) (it just stuck in my memory was all)

a bit later start than i anticipated but tomorrow is my start date. we are booking a lovely holiday in italy next may for our wedding anniversary and there is no way im going there to be laughed at (as i was when we went a few years ago and was lighter than i am now) seeing those women looking...

thank you everyone for welcoming me. i look forward to starting monday. im not sure how long for as money is tight but ive two weeks worth to start me off

that was supposed to say starting monday but in my haste to write something i put the wrong day! luv2bslim im really nervous too and i really hope this works thank you irishlass i hope we can help one another on the way.... perhaps we should get together? i dont know about you but any help along...

hello everyone..im helen and new to minimins and wanted to say im starting exante on monday and hope that by christmas im feeling a new woman! please come say hello as im feeling very unsure of what to do right now thanks in advance :)
