We can't have lemon juice or tomatoes either because they impact ketosis.

Dilute

I use 500mls to dilut mine to bolster my fluid intake.

I worry about slimming world because there are so many carbs but I really need a good plan because I can't lose,eat and gain in a cycle for the rest of my life although that seems to be exactly what I do lol

I weigh in tomorrow but I doubt ill get 7lbs so I didn't get the challenge :( but I've still 13lbs off so that's not too bad

Honk day 4

Peppermint tea is caffeine free and you can count it towards your fluid intake. I always get about 1.5ltrs in that way.

It would need to be minuscule to keep u in ketosis. Send it to me and ill test it lol

I hope to get to a weight that I feel comfortable at, then use Unislim or something to maintain but I'm not really sure yet.

I had a break on Friday, I had food an alcohol but with the firm intention to restart on sat which I did. I think it's ok to think of food as a treat its when we are eating "treats" frequently that we get into trouble. Just get back on it and you'll be fine, you may have a gain on the scales but...

Honk day 3

Cheers nic

I strive for a BMI in the healthy range but I don't think I will ever achieve that. The measurement is very prescriptive and doesn't account for build. I think if you are comfortable and feel good then it is just a number but a reassuring one lol

Thanks nic :)

Honk day 2

No I felt great. I ate so the drink didnt wreck my liver lol but I got up on Saturday and felt like I was still in ketosis, I haven't been hungry at all and I feel well. My next weigh in is Saturday so hopefully I can lose any gains before then.

Red bush is also nice and sparkling water for a bit of luxury lol

Peppermint tea has been my blessing. I take nearly all my water allowance that way, it's so warm and comforting and sometimes if you're peckish it takes the edge off. Is curry allowed now? When I first did this diet we weren't even allowed black pepper

I lost 2lbs so I'm happy enough

2lb off this week, I'm happy enough I suppose. That's 13lb in 3 weeks. Hopefully ill get a decent loss this week but I'm not sure because I had a night out on Friday where I ate and drank. Straight back on it on Saturday and bizarrely feel like I'm still on ketosis although I know I can't be. No...

I lost 2lbs this week as well.

Day 1 again because I had a boozy night out last night. I are yesterday and drank but straight back onto it today.

Honk day 1

It's fine occasionally but because your nutrients are spread out over the three portions it wouldnt be good to get into the habit. Sometimes I only have two and I'm fine.

Thanks folks, I just stuck to plan as normal. I always hoover up the leftovers which is why I'm fat in the first place lol. I sorta thought oh well I might as well get stuck into the biscuits but I didn't so hopefully I get a loss tomorrow. Thanks for the replies :)

Oops! Without thinking this morning I lifted one of the children's glasses and finished off some pure orange. When I read the contents there are 11g carbs per 100ml and I had a little less than this. Will I remain in ketosis considering I had less carbs than I would have had in a shake or will...

Nothing tastes as good as slim feels

If you stick to pure protein you won't need to refeed beforehand but if you're going to drink then you should refeed. Plain green veg and cauliflower will not ruin ketosis but carrots,parsnips etc do have carbs and will affect ketosis.

At first I couldn't bear the soup but when it got tha I just couldn't warm up I found it really comforting. I have it at night just before bed. I make mine just like the shakes except using boiling water. The hand blender makes it really smooth.

Thanks folks

Slim please...how was your weigh in?

On my restart week I lost 5 and was a bit disappointed but you know the first few weeks are water weight and it's the losses from week 2/3 that is the fat coming off. It'll balance out don't let it put you off. Well done on a decent loss.

Brilliant loss well done

I always over dilute mine to bulk out my water intake, I use about 500ml for my shakes.

The reason you need to take all three is because your recommended allowance of vitamins etc are spread across the three so you won't be getting all that u need if you skip packs. I always start mine late in the day, it doesn't matter when you take them, I usually have my first at lunch time...

Thanks :) how are you getting on?

I know this is old but one of the earlier comments recommends rice. This will be one of the worst things for ketosis. It's eggs,cheese and meat that will preserve it.

6 off this week, that's 11 in two weeks. Happy enough with that :)

I lost 5lbs on Thursday not a massive loss but I had been sticking to low carb for the week before so prob shed a bit of water weight then. That's what I'm telling myself anyway lol

I lost 11 in my first week first time round and after a few false starts after that I restarted again last week. I lost 5 lbs this week which I'm not going to get disappointed about its still a big step in the right direction.

20lbs for me, I get weighed later on so i might change that later if I get a decent loss today.

Hi frankie I've just restarted after a 1st 9lb gain. I weighed myself regularly and then once I saw it creeping on I avoided the scales so I'm back more motivated than ever. I can't believe when I read the thread and saw my post from last year. I think when your inclined to be fat you will...

It along with peppermint kept me sane on lipotrim. Im relying on it again for this diet :)

I fell royally off the wagon last week and it's gone from bad to worse since then. Restart in the morning and I really want to kick two stone. I will defo need your support!!

Well done I've just completed week 1 too.

Thanks cheekychicks

Well done ladies

I have lost 15lbs this week :) I do believe my starting weight wasn't right but I can't prove that. I am thrilled, I scoffed 3 mini cupcakes last night but that hasn't registered yet. I was so cross with myself for doing it but I am right back in the zone now! Bring on week 2!

Had a great day and stayed on plan until bedtime when I scoffed three mini cupcakes in about two seconds flat!! Tomorrow is weigh day as well, goodbye ketosis :(

When I did lipotrim I struggled with water so I always over diluted my shakes to get a bit extra in. Peppermint or redbush tea is nice and refreshing and can stall the hunger pangs between meals ;)

You're spot on about the barometer that was me too. Always joking about eating too much to hide embarrassment...not anymore!

Hey Deezer I can't believe how fantastic you look now you're so near goal. You are a real fitness fanatic now, I hope I can lose the way you have!

I don't know why I thought u were only going to have two packs I must have it read it somewhere else. Looks like your theory of a mushy brain is right lol

If u take a multi vit with selenium your hair will be fine. Mine fell out quite badly after lipotrim but has started growing back now. I think two packs and a protein meal isn't recommended because there isn't enough nutrients. You need three packs and a meal to get your right amounts.

My samples arrived today. I had a few lipotrim sachets left so I started dieting yesterday. I had nearly four stone off on lipotrim but have gained 1.5 stone :( I see a lot of lipotrimmers over here. I can't wait to get stuck in. Good luck folks!

Having lost almost 4 stone on lipotrim this year but still needing to lose another stone I got weighed today and discovered I have gained 1 and a half stones. I am disgusted. I have ordered slim and save cause I'm too embarrassed to go back to my pharmacy for lipotrim. I have a few sachets of...

The first week is water loss do if you're not holding a lot of water your loss will be smaller. Fat loss is from here on in so that's whats important, good luck :)

I feel in the same boat, stopes before target to lose weight healthily and haven't stop eating since. I am at the stage where I'm afraid of the scales. I have a stack of shakes left and I started again yesterday. We've done it once we can do it again...good luck ;)

Day 1 again, haven't had a massive gain or anything but I see my portions getting bigger and my snacks increasing. I'm still comfy in my clothes but I have avoided the scales and I know that's a really bad sign. Had been going to slimming world half heartedly but gained 4lb and haven't been...

Tea and coffee don't count because of the caffeine. Try peppermint or red bush they're both quite nice

Red bush is lovely, I alternate between it and the peppermibt

I'm Belfast, nice to meet you :)

You'll be fasting anyway so I can't see what the problem would be. Good luck

Whereabouts are you?

Hi ladies I have been too ashamed to post after a mega failure over the past few days, I've already had milk this morning so I'm just gonna have a lean day today and back on shakes tomorrow. I am going to have to rethink my diet plans as well. I'm not sure how to progress, getting thin is very...

Thanks Clair louise that's what I'm gonna do. Happy Easter :)

I was expecting more because it was week one and I'm furious with myself, I did this before and was so disciplined. It has put me in bad form.

Gutted I cheated on day 6, not monumentally but a cheat all the same. I got weighed yesterday and lost 3lb which was really disappointing for week 1. So last night I had a massive binge, I've prob gained back the 3 I lost

I lost 3lbs, I'm gutted. I did have a blip yesterday when I ate a few biscuits. Would that impact my loss? I could have lost that at SW and saved the £45. I feel so disappointed and I just want to eat:(

Day 6 almost over, I felt hungry today and because of that I has my last shake much earlier than usual, now I really want something. I might end up taking another shake.

I think they're slimy when they're heated.

The fibre clear prevents constipation but it won't treat it, you'll need something to get you moving first then take the fibre clear to stop it happening again.

Honk day 5

I'll have mine at the last minute just before bed.

Day 5 today still have a shake to take I'm keeping it for a little closer to bedtime. I've felt hungry today but haven't given in. Have blitzed the kitchen and cleared out loads of kids things for charity shop tomorrow. I know it's meant to be spring but I've got the electric blanket on. I was...

You are allowed to swim, look at peach pips diary she swims miles, hockey nut as well.

A nice thought shivie but unlikely lol

I was at a hen last week and text my sister because I wasn't the fattest person there. Thats a first in years. I was thrilled :)

I will let you know on saturday, that's my first weigh in

That is a weird dream lol. Condolences that you're eggs didn't make it, you may have been tempted to eat them if they did. I had a bit of a weird one two last night but tame in comparison to that :)

I'm so envious of BMI 25 that's my dream number:)

Now finished day 4, the time has passed really quickly and I'm not struggling...yet lol I feel quite good and I think ketosis is on the way, I can feel the start of death breath. Still a bit of a grumbly tummy but nothing that can't be ignored. Please let Saturday show a good result.

Thanks Kay, I need to lose about a stone and a half still. I'm only gonna do it for three weeks this time because I've experienced some hair loss

Honk day 4

If there's a decent break between diets ie about 8 weeks what sort of loss can you expect in week 1?

I always use a pint of water but I think 250 is the least you can use

Honk day 3 it's a relief to be in bed

I think it's a slippery slope, small pieces turn to bigger and then dinners. If you stick to protein you'll stay in ketosis but the calories could slow your losses. If you can you should stay 100% but if you really need something stick with protein

You'll know - horrible breath, no hunger and a general feeling of wellness

Hi nikola first time round I lost 53lbs and it took three months but I did refeed twice in that and had a few days off for Christmas. I was ready to stop when I did so I didn't resist when the pharmacist told me to stop, I regret tho cause I never got to target and now I've gained 6lbs. I'm back...

Heehee

Honk day 2 yay

I lost 8lbs week 2 and 4lbs week 3 and I didn't loose as much as you week 1 so hopefully you'll have a good lot shifted by then.

This is day 2 of my restart and my hands are freezing....bizarrely I'm glad- it shows things are happening :)

Day two is progressing well, felt a bit peckish earlier but a cuppa fixed it. I really think I can do this(hopefully) how much do you think I could lose second time around?

If its very dark it usually means youre dehydrated. Any ketones at all that show mean ketosis but they're notoriously unreliable. If you stick to the plan you'll be in ketosis

There are more carbs in the maintenance products do you may struggle to get into ketosis.

Day 1 honk

Well, day one is almost over and I feel ok. Still to have my soup before bed but it'll be an early night for me :)

Day one of my second spell on TFR and I'm feeling good. I never made it to target because my chemist thought I was "nearly there" and wouldn't give me any more shakes. I was still 16lbs off my goal, I have tried to be good but have discovered that I still have a great big appetite and as a...

I'm back for a few weeks too, this is day one I hope it not harder second time round but I'm sure it is. About to have a vanilla yum it's my favourite.

This makes me laugh because I totally agree they are a useless expense, my pharmacist doesn't even sell them

Hi Mary I pay £45 in Belfast, its more expensive in NI than it is in England

Peppermint tea is a great substitute. Some people use a spoonful of vanilla shake as a whitener but I never tried it myself

Well folks,shakes bought for a restart on Saturday. Wish me luck, I know it's gonna be hard :(

After about ten weeks I started to lose quite a lot of hair, it was very worrying and has continued from the middle of jan right up until now. I have noticed these past two days that less is coming out so I'm hoping the worst is over

There was confusion on here before and I emailed lipotrim HQ who told me tea and coffee don't count.

Because of the caffeine tea and coffee don't count towards fluid allowance, I emailed lipotrim who confirm this but peppermint, redbush, nettle are all allowed and the are a good help. I drank peppermint if I started to feel hungry and it took the edge of it, because they are caffeine free they...

I'm gonna restart again I think maybe three more weeks to get to target but in a bit demotivated at the mo and was surprised that after three months TFR my appetite had not decreased at all :(

I was wearing an 18 but prob should have been wearing a 20 lol but today I bought two pairs size 14 jeans from new look and they fit, they are a little tight tho. This is after 12 weeks. Start weight was 17st 12lb and at the minute I'm 14st 1 lb.

Get the peppermint tea, it was my saviour honestly. It's quite comforting as well as filling and I had a cup whenever I was peckish so I could keep my last sachet until just before bed. I didn't even like peppermint before I started lol now I'm never without a cup ;) looking forward to slimming...

Good luck tigger :)

Posted too soon how are you finding it this time round apart from your nice lunch

Im thinking of three more weeks of shakes, I can't follow sw at all, it just involves loads of food. I'm not sure the diet caused the anaemia but it's a bit if a coincidence lol. I don't regret it though...I lost 53lbs in 12 weeks. I'm not sure I've really changed tho, I don't think my stomach...

Im weighing up my options, I've joined slimming world but I really think TFR for another three weeks is what I need. Ive a hen next weekend but I think after that I'm ginna get stuck in again, I'm anaemic at the mo so I'll have to take iron which I'm not looking forward to :(

You don't really need the sticks, if you stick to the plan you'll go into ketosis. The rotten breath and lack of hunger pangs is also an indicator.

Grand I gained 4lbs but I've since lost two. Joined sw this week but I think I'm gonna go TFR for another while. Still losing my hair and just been diagnosed as anaemic. :(

Peppers are a type of berry which is why it can impact ketosis

Lovely legs

I joined slimming world tonight, hopefully I can shift this last stone and a half. Just diagnosed as anaemic and half bloody bald. Who said thin was easy? Lol

Carbs are evil.

That's why I have limited access, no ticker or anything cause I can only do it on my phone :)

Well done, I hated the soup to start with but when I got cold it was so comforting and felt like a meal.

I stopped TFR at end of jan but my hair is still falling out, it was thick to start but I'm sure it'll start to become really obvious soon. It is everywhere, I just can't keep on top of it - it is very worrying

It doesn't matter when you have your shakes as long as you have all three. I always had mine late so I could have my soup at bedtime.

I always add extra water, use a blender and if you add some coffee to a vanilla shake you get a nice latte

It's a well known phenomenon that sudden weight loss can cause cholecystitis. Any diet - it doesn't matter but at least when you're thinner/lighter you're in a much better position to have it removed safely.

Any sudden weight loss can cause gallstones which may not cause you any problems but on the other hand they can cause inflammation of the gallbladder. This is not specific to lipotrim but can occur with any diet.

I meant wide awake after, you shouldn't be too groggy after a short procedure- depends on your doc I suppose :) you'll be grand. Well done staying so motivated

That's a quick procedure, you'll be wide awake and well post op so you should be fine ;) I have to go and see a gynae doc this week about a similar problem :(

Bring a flapjack with you, that'll be enough to satisfy them. If its a fairly minor op theyll likely be satisfied if you tolerate a cup of tea before you're out.

Well done

Lots of the lipotrimmers are talking bout slim and save- its cheaper too :)

I know on the refeed week people can often lose up to 5lbs. There are other vlcd available on line that permit an evening meal and have a great variety of flavours, you should look at slim and save. Hope that helps :)

Hi ladies I lost almost 4 stone on TFR with still 1ish to go but my chemist wouldn't give me any more shakes cause I was so near normal BMI. I got the maintenance products and did ok for a while but I feel my whole habits creeping back. I'm already afraid to get on the scales but I know I've...

Orange cream is yum

It's definitely a carb thing, you're lucky if you stay in ketosis but I never risked it. My pharmacist said some of the ingredients interfere with ketosis and that's why lipotrim say we need to avoid it. The breath strips are great anyway

It can interfere with ketosis that's why it's not allowed

Brilliant!!

I paid 45 per week in Belfast.

You can have plain green tea. Red bush by tetley is nice as well.

Congratulations that's fantastic

How does splitting it affect ketosis? You're still not taking carbs. A lot of people use their vanilla as milk for coffee and this doesnt affect ketosis

Thanks Leslie, I'm coming up to the six week mark I think, I first noticed it in Jan. Its such a worry but I feel better knowing yours stopped. Thanks for replying :)

Brilliant thanks

I was on it about three months, I'm on maintenance now but it's really worrying me

I always watch cookery programmes and read cookery books

My hair is coming out in handfuls, I'm taking a multi vit with selenium any other suggestions?

It does get easier, once ketosis kicks in the hunger passes. Drink peppermint tea- its comforting and kills the hunger. Once your first weigh in is over your motivation will soar, good luck

Brilliant dee

Enjoy

That's ketosis for you, just keep drinking :)

There's a new app out where you input your measurements and it tells you your size in different high street shops....I can't remember the app name tho sorry

I could hardly walk to the corner shop but now I feel quite comfy walking and I'm sure it will help improve your fitness even if it doesn't impact on the scales :)

If you were sick last night you've prob lost fluid so I don't think you should cut back too much, just take sips regularly over the day. I hope you're feeling better.

That's great, your fertility doc will be surprised and impressed when he sees you :)

Brilliant

If I felt like picking I watched cookery programmes and read cookery books. My daughter couldn't understand why I tortured myself but I found it therapeutic and she was my taster to check seasoning etc when I cooked. My children are young but they were so supportive which showed that my weight...

Amazing , it's such am achievement! Congrats to you....and your OH lol:)

Regular paracetamol

I also thought that oestrogen is stored in fat cells.

I love this, I work with a fantastic girl who is certain that she will win the lottery it's just a matter of when. That's a good goal to look, hot when you're collecting you're cheque.

Are you possibly grinding them when you're sleeping? I don't think this is caused by not chewing, sometimes an ear infection causes jaw pain as well.

Try taking your shakes through a straw.

Light- me one day :)

I suffered quite bad leg cramps for a while but thankfully it passed. I don't know why but they just stopped. I hope that happens for you

Brilliant

Disney- dream holiday

That's rotten, you'll be wearing a skinny lab coat soon but in the meantime could you hide one somewhere? I think you're teacher is an ass!

Well done Ella

Brilliant

Those sticks are very unreliable so I wouldn't use them. There are other variables that can influence the colour change. If you are 100% you will go into ketosis :)

It's the worst ever, put ice on it that can really help

Congrats a great loss

Brilliant that's great

I had one meal with friends who didn't know I was dieting do I just had some chicken and no alcohol. I did refeed before a family night out in Dec and again before Christmas, but for the most part I was 100% peppermint tea is a brilliant standby, it warms you up and takes the edge of your hunger.

Vanilla is defo my fav, I always add about 500mls and froth it up. Yum

It'll bring you out of ketosis so it'll be like week one all over again.

I loved clearing out clothes, you just feel so proud. Well done

No supplements allowed, all the nutrients we need are in the shakes. These hair/nail problems are short term and return to normal after the diet. It's like hair loss during pregnancy it'll grow back ;).....that's what they say anyway.

That's such a good feeling, well done in great losses

Thanks josiejojo , I was worried you were away. A break will do you good, I've still at least a stone to shift but I'll keep plugging away. Good luck with the new job:)

Brilliant losses, well done

Trim- all us lipotrimmers :)

I'm alright, lost the momentum a bit there. Stopped and started, panicking about eating but not doing it properly. I lost a pound today and the chemist wouldn't give me any more TFR because I'm so close to healthy BMI do I got the maintenance instead. Really pushing the exercise now

Well done Denise and Deezer, you are two of lipotrims success stories. You are a real inspiration :)

Minus 1.25 lbs this week. I'm pleased after doing refeed then eating big meals then back on shakes but messed up with Atkins bars. Pharmacist wouldn't give me any more TFR because my BMI is too close to HEALTHY WEIGHT :) so I'm gonna try maintenance. Thank you lipotrim :)

Well done tweeza great loss!

Three waterbottles, fleece pjs and handwarmers and I'm still cold. My hands are like a dead persons. I hug a cup of peppermint tea at all times.

I've been eating Atkins bars this week as I was supposed to do refeed,then panicked so I've been having what I thought were low carb but they're apparently not. As a result I'm not in ketosis and have picked today. I'm due to finish at any time but can't decide what plan to follow. Help!!

Brilliant

Do these bars take you out of ketosis? I'm doing a vlcd but have taken an occasional bar, this week I've had more and feel I'm not in ketosis. They are yummy but are they bad for dieting?

Hehe I've lost two two year olds!

Still a big tummy to loose but look thin around my face and neck. Still got the bingo wings tho :)

Unbelievable you look stunning. That is a fantastic loss.

Brilliant

Good luck susie!

I lost roughly two and a half stone in seven weeks and my starting weight was close to yours. Stick to it 100% and drink,drink,drink :)

Chunkychops try the peppermint tea, i drink countless cups a day and it staves hunger pangs, if it's too early for my next shake I have one and it tides me over. The cheaper brands are nicer than the twinings I don't think I would have lasted without it.

It is worth it to be slim, the time it takes to lose the weight is a short span of time compared to the rest of your life, look at it like a course of medication and before you know it the weight will be melting away and the impact of this really boosts your motivation and self worth. It is a...

Nothing lol, I love the soup it's really warming. Add mix to boiling water and whizz really well, it's nice and creamy. Some people add pepper or chilli flakes but lipotrim day you shouldn't.

Cameron I had to email lipotrim because of confusion around tea and they told me unfortunately it doesn't count towards fluid intake, a very reliable source on here told me peppermint does count and I follow that. Caffeine can cause fluid retention and thats why they don't count.

Tea and coffee don't count towards your fluid intake, peppermint tea apparently does because it doesn't have caffeine.

Honk day 1 again :) Did refeed last week but panicked after two birthday meals with family so Im on 100% again until I'm back in control.

Minimins gals- life savers :)

The soup is my luxury, when I need a bit of comfort I have the soup. Tweeza add a spoonful of coffee to the chic shake its like a mocha.

That's how I feel tweeza, no one judges. It has been my lifeline throughout the diet.

Brilliant well done

I'm glad you're back josiejojo , I was looking out for you.....I missed you. I hope I have sts, I started Kettlebells training OMG I ache all over lol. You'll ace it I'm march, the break will do you good and you'll come back really strong! You can do it!!

I Started refeed yesterday but I have nibbled the wrong stuff today what is the damage likely to be?

Hi frecklesy I'm finishing with lipotrim tomorrow, I still have a stone to loose but I'm going to eat healthily and exercise. I did consider another month but my hair has started to fall out so I'm coming off. I feel good about it tho, ive lost 3st 10lbs in eleven weeks so I'm pleased with that...

Your post made me smile, it's fabulous that your hubby loves so much that he wants to marry you again. Good luck with his 5yr all clear and your slimming.

Good luck

You prob retained water because of the sickness, I'm glad you're feeling better

I'm north Belfast too, off cavehill.

I really enjoy it, it's very comforting. I sometimes take it before bed and it warms me up.

Thanks ladies, Wednesday should finish me on TFR but I've just blown the ketosis by shovelling some forkfuls of pasta....curse you totm!! I'm gutted and it's sitting in my chest like lead, I think I'll prob puke( not on purpose ) and it's repeating on me. First carbs in three months and the...

Well done ;)

Well done, where in Belfast are you?

At first I didn't like the soup but it has defo grown on me

My pharmacist must think I'm a tramp I wear the same clothes every week and they are now miles too big, I look a bit like a bag lady lol

You will do it, my kids are so proud of me and it's a real motivator!

I have the soup nearly every day without any problems. We are just taking in so much fluid that we sometimes get "overflow", gross but that's what it is.

Hey frecklesy welcome back!

I'll give it a try elaine

I felt in it my clothes early on and a few people were noticing but once I hit three stone everyone was OMG. Even shop assistants and taxi drivers noticed then

Dear whoever is pissing off my lipotrim buddies.....do one!

If you put your mind to it you can do it. You need to stick to it 100% but it defo is achievable. Good luck!

It's lovely, I might get mine cut differently when I get to target

Honk

Well done, you've done amazing :)

Brill Lucy, back to river island for a 16 :)

You're doing great :)

Thanks folks:)

What a stunner....amazing transformation!!

Deezer you just keep changing.....looking good girl!!

Brilliant

It's good fun, I'm totally uncoordinated but even jumping about a bit is bound to do something.

5lbs off this week happy days :)

Brilliant jon

Thanks I'm starting refeed next Wed, feb is a busy month for me, a lot of family birthdays and meals out so I'm worried about a gain but I do have an exercise plan in place and I'm gonna stick low carb as much as possible. Has anyone heard of "eat stop eat" ? You eat healthily five days a week...

Thanks Deezer

Peppermint tea, no caffeine so it counts towards your water intake.

Thanks jon

If I feel peckish I take peppermint tea its warm and comforting and you do feel satisfied. It's been my lifeline through this.

Thanks everyone

I have a cold at the mo and feel pretty rough. I have no soup left and couldn't face a milkshake so I had a bar instead, I compared the nutritional values to the shakes and they're pretty close. Will this affect my loss this week? I really need 5lb off this week to reach my 4stone target by 28th

Men have two portions per day and women have three portions.

This diet has changed my life literally. It is tough but fantastic

Thanks ladies. I'm quite clumsy so I'm having two sessions with a trainer to get the hang of it and then I'm gonna try it at home. I'll prob decapitate one of the kids or throw it through the window.
