Hiya everyone! 3lbs this week. Wrong TOTM but hey, that will do!!

Dont do it!!!! Do what i do!!! PLease!!!! 1.Try on an item of clothing that is beginning to get loose. You'll feel good about yourself & smile. 2. Look at the Inspiration Slide show at the top of the page and look at the transformations that have occured in such a short space of time &...

Welcome back Lillie! Im like you, lost 2st with LT but am starting week two on CD. I didnt actually ask to stay here, i just kept on posting and hoped no one would tell me to go away!! he he!!

Sorry sorry sorry im late!! 8lbs down yesterday!! Roll on week two & 150lbs for the lot of us! LOLOL!!

Evening All! 8lbs down....Roll on week two....

Thanks Gemma!! I better, or i'll cry!!!! Id been watching my carb intake before the diet so im not expecting more than that cos i dont thing i have much water left to lose! Good luck to you too. 100lbs will be a fab achievement for the 14 or 15 of us in the Monday group!

easy peasy!!!! Im hoping to contribute to at least half a stone of that.....D Day in the morning!!!!!!

Hiya! Can i join too please? I met the counsellor yesterday and started the minute i left her office! LOL! Thanks...

I lost 27lbs in 4wks by drinking 2ltrs of fizzy water a day and increasing the water in my shakes to 400ml each...... I hate water so physically could'nt stomach anymore than that!!!

Thats sooo nasty....

Hiya Scotsmist. (and Olivia!) Im on day two (second time around) and im actually feeling fine(surprisingly!!). I find that drinking the choc shake with ice & fresh mint leaves taste lovely. Like Chocmint.... You can drink Peppermint tea. I found that Mint Leaves in hot water were nice too.

"you'll eat what you're given for dinner. Im not running a hotel here!" Hmmm....and i wonder why im dieting......

Well done Pixie!! Im hoping to do as well as you next week too!!

6 stone - 84lbs...... We can do it!!!!

Well i was guliable enough to fall for it!! I had already started going green with envy until i opened the post!! lol!!

JemJem, I have done the same thing this time as i did the nfirst time round with the diet - I have put my weighing scales in the boot of my car!!!!! This will help me avoid the temptation of jumping on and off after each shake and the minute i get up in the morning! LOL!!!

Hiya everyone! I got all my diet food this morning & started so i'll be getting weighed on a Monday morning with you all! Starting weight was a bit worse then i thought but hey ho, a few more pounds to lose wont make too much of a difference now!! Well done to everyone today! Hopefully...

Oh, and one more thing - I have just put a picture of myself at my biggest up on the fridge. Its there to remind me why i dont need to go into the fridge for that one mouthful of food when i start again on the diet tomorrow.... Find a bad picture of yourself. A picture that you cringe at when...

Thanks Trimlee. That picture reminds me of how miserable i was that day. It was a happy day cos it was the baby's christening (Last June) but it was also the most uncomfortable day cos i was wearing a size 18 top that i was bulging out of and hated every picture that was taken of me that day.

Msblonde, i promise, it gets easier. I used to get days where i wanted to eat everything in sight. Id go to my room and try on an item of clothing that was too tight for me. That usually got my act together. OR, id look through the pictures on the Inspiration Slide show at the top of this page...

I'll be part of the Monday club too! 1st appointment in the morning.....

Im a Finance Manager & work between 8:30 & 6ish (depending on how much i have to do). When i was on LT, i drank the first shake in the car on the way to work, the 2nd in my office & the 3rd at home after the kids were in bed. That way, i didnt have to explain to have my staff what i was doing...

Guenevere is right Msblonde. You should confess the minute to slip up. Draw a line underneath it. Make this the first & last time you cheat on Lipotrim. Good luck with your weigh-in tomorrow.xx

Gary, you are an inspiration to all of us. Are you refeeding again then? You cant leave us!!! I've just come back and need your no nonsense messages!!!!!xx

Hiya Gary. My friend from work lost 10st with LT. She told the surgeon that she had done LT and was advised to wait for 6 months before the surgery to show she could maintain that weight.....(we live in Ireland though so im not sure what the docs on the NHS might say to you about it....). She...

Hiya Imac, Im Lianna, 27 (28 in 2 weeks...) 2 daughters - 4yr & 18month old. Full time Financial Manager. Starting Cambridge Diet on Monday after appointment with the counsellor. Did LT in March & April. Lost 27lbs but had to stop to have my tonsils taken out. Have the all clear from the doc...

Well done Tash. No other diet is gonna give you such great results in such a short space of time!! Its sooo worth it!!!

Hiya Cathy! Im starting again on Monday so i feel like a newbie too! Its so much easier to diet when there is someone else doing it with you. You'll find your friend from work will be a great form of motivation. My was...

Halle Berry!!

I always got weighed around half 6 in the evening but stopped drinking water around 3pm at work so my bladder was empty by weigh in time! Gary is right though, you will lose weight no matter what.....

wow.. I think i'll remember all of that for Monday!! LOL!!! Choc Mint & Oriental Chill sounds nice. I do like Brocolli & Cheese soup anyway but i dont know whether the CD one will love up to my expectations!!! I'll give them all a try (except the tomato one as you said!!) Cant wait to get...

Hiya Everyone!! Yes (for those of you that remember me!), im back for round two of strict dieting!! This time though, i chickened out of the Lipotrim & am starting the Cambridge Diet on Tuesday after my meeting with the counsellor on Monday. (I could'nt handle drinking just chocolate shakes...

Im with you Nicki!! Flapjacks all the way..... Yeah Tracy, i hope i do as well on re-feed as you do. Im going on holiday in 23rd May anyway for a week so i had always planned to re-feed the week before that but was gonna go back to LT when i returned.....Sure, i got plenty of time to lose...

Hiya everyone! Really sad to say it but im gonna have to stop full lipotrim and start refeeding. Got weighed on Tuesday (couldnt get to the chemist on Monday eve) and was down another 4lbs:D. Really pleased with that..... BUT, As some of you remember, i was suffering with my tonsils in...

Well at least you didnt reach for the chips or the bread!!! Hopefully the chicken & sausages wil have had minimal impact on your hard work so far..... Let us know how you get on and how this weeks weigh day goes.....x

Thats the attitude!!!!xxxx

I had my peanut flapjack at 10:30 with a cuppa last night because i had actually forgot to have it!!!! I have'nt had my first one yet today cos i think that filled me up a good bit!! (its 11am now). The Chemist didnt tell me what time to eat/drink or dont eat/drink so im sure its up to us...

Well done Gary...You consistenly have great losses each week!!! (PS: I bet you sat there with your calculator for ages trying to work out the math on that lot!!! ha ha!!)

Im inspired by you now!!!! Im bowing at your feet!!! Well done.xxx

You have taken the first step and told someone about it. Now you gotta STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN where possible. You've done sooo well so far. 16lbs!! What week are you in now hun? Try on some of your clothes that are too tight for you still or when you feel the urge to 'pick', go and stand in...

Its a long way to go just to strip naked.....

You included in that huh??!!!:D

Shamrock - Im with you there!! We are both finishing week 4 and like you - im bored with the shakes...BUT i decided to try and motivate myself again so i tried on all my size 16 & 14 pants and looked at how baggy they were...I them tried on the dress i wore for the work Xmas party and laughed at...

Where to???

For some people -yeah...but for me - i hate it!!! Unfortunately, i inherited my mothers jamaican behind........I wish i could have taken after my dad's Irish side but no- God thought he'd have a laugh with me instead so i must be the only mixed race girl who BURNS in at the sight of the sun and...

Hun - Please get them checked out on Monday.....Your health is more important than LT....LT will still be here when you are better....xxx

EWWWWWW....... When i said my trousers were tight, i meant my butt (whats left of it) was well hugged....I would never leave the house with any imprints of any animal toes on me.....

My DD's are shrinking as we speak!! LOL!!!! Sure, i can afford to lose a bit of what ive got up top!!! ha ha!!! Gary - Tight is good in some senses but you gotta leave a bit to the imagination sometimes....

Do what i do - Cook LOTS once over the weekend and let your hubby re-heat it for himself and your daughter. Dont put yourself through the agony of being in the kitchen if you cant. Im sure he can defrost something or warm it up for the two of them??!!! I have faith in you. You had the guts to...

Now THATS a lie ifi ever heard one!! PS: Love the new pic of ya!! Thats inspriation enough for me!!! Im back into size 12 pants. Bit tight mind you but im in them!!:D

You're in a good mood today!!!!

Thanks for the advice!! No Gary, im not heading anywhere yet....just keeping options open hun!!!!!!!!

Hiya All, Due to get weighed on Monday eve. I always said id stay on full LT as long as i could without feeling miserable and for the moment, im ok....ish:rolleyes:. Has anyone lost weight on the maintenance programme here? Or did any of you switch to maintenance after being on LT and...

Hiya Started size 16/18 bottom & 16 top - 5ft 9ish - 14st.1 Currently size 12/14 bottoms & 12 top - still 5ft 9 (LOL!) - 12st.8 (according to last week WI)

Cant spell either....

Senakot all the way hun......Ducolax give you cramps and ikifcks is when you are least expecting it to!!!!! Been in similar pain all day yesterday. Went to chemist and took 3 senakot last night and feel miles better this morning!!! i was getting cold sweats walking around Tesco yesterday...

I bet that if you stood on the scales now, you'll have lost that extra lb over night and you will have hit your 2st mark. Ignore the chemist.You'll prove her wrong next week and have a big loss to even it out!!!!!

My face lost weight and my bum disappeared first!!! Now my DD's have shrunk....... I stil have the baby tummy tho...

See Bigmama - you had nothing to worry about!!! You have given ME hope though!! I said to ya that my scales had'nt moved either and this morning they are saying 2lbs only but you've just given me confidence that maybe, just maybe, theres another lb or two that could disappear by monday evening!!!!

You've lost nearly 2 stone in 5wks. What other diet is gonna do that for you??? We all have low weight loss weeks by the looks of it. Ignore my first 3wks cos im getting weighed on MOnday and according to my scales this morning, i have only lost 2lbs.....

Do you know, i think ive figured out why im not losing weight - Im actually drinking MORE water!! ha ha! For the first 2 weeks i had tonsilitis and drank barely my shakes everyday. Last week i was only getting better so drank 2.5 max a day. This week, ive been drinking 4 litres everyday...

YOu were very lucky. Im glad to here you are back on the straight and narrow!

Hiya Bigmama, Im having the same problem this week. My weight is exactly the same. Im not due to get weighed until monday but by now i was expecting to see something!!! Its my TOTM next week so im wondering whether that has something to do with it? I even joined Salsa classes yesterday and...

I was bouncing off the ceiling from day 4....Full of energy! A few early nights to increase your energy and you will be fine. Dont worry about it. The more you worry, the worse you'll feel....x

Oh no!! Id take a flapjack anyday over one of the CD bars!!! My mate let me taste the Cranberry one and the Choc Orange one....FOUL!!! I have the sweetest tooth ever (hence the need for LT!! LOL!!) but those bars were not nice!:D

They lovely. The texture is like the cork off a bottle and they are a bit dry but the taste lke a soft peanut tracker bar. (Remember tracker bars??) They are pretty filling but you need to drink a good bit of water with them as they a little dry....

Keep them! Hide them! Use them during refeed week!! We pay enough for the diet so its nice to get a little back!!!!! LOL!!

Well done!!! There is no other diet that could give you such fast results!!! Good luck for next week!

Go to bed early for the first few days. That helped me. I also tried to keep busy even though i had reduced energy. I promise, from day 3 or 4, it wil be all better!!

Hiya all!!! Just thought id share my love for the flapjacks!!! And yes, im serious!!! I got chos shakes and flapjacks this week for something to chew and i really like the peanut ones. (I could live on peanut butter and black forrest gateux normally but thats a different story!!) Am i...

I'll let you know how i get on! Starts this wednesday in Co.Limerick. Cant wait! Looking on the website and you average 2lb a week weight loss in the 10wks!!! That will really help!

After the long moan to you all yesterday, i made it through the night and have come out the otherside feeling slightly more positive! Got weighed an hour ago and have another 6lbs gone!!!! Im gonna give it an extra push this week and aim for a big loss again. I have only been drinking 2.5...

Babyboo, im the cook in my house too and have been cooking all weekend for hubbie & kids but i am beginning to find a way around temptation: Cook foods that they like and you dont. For eg: I hate bacon & sausages and am a really picky savoury eater. (although, i could eat sweet stuff all day!!!)...

Thanks guys.....Bed it is then!

Good Luck hun!! Your determination is admirable......:)

I know. Today is just hard. ON the brightside, i cooked enough so that hubbie only has to reheat for for the girls this week and i wont have to cook! (He gets home before me in the day). I tell you though, if i have lost less than 3lbs this week, i'll cry,,,,,hard!! LOL!

Thanks Fifi... Im hoping my taste buds change or this diet will have been a waste of time for me....:cry:

Thanks Julia......Kids are all in bed the last hour so clearing up toys between posts and gonna head to bed early to hopefully kill the urge to raid the fridge. The weird thing is, i dont know what i want to eat - all i know is i WANT TO CHEW SOMETHING,,,:cry:

Thanks Shamrock. I think im gonna get a few of those flapjacks tommorrow. That might help. I might fool my stomach into thinking im chewing something half decent.....

Happy Birthday Old Man!!!!XXXXXX:party0019:

Did your little 'slip ups' effect your weight loss for that week?

:(Hiya everyone. Due to get weighed tomorrow evening for week three. The way im feeling, im ready to pack in this whole diet. I cooked Shepherds pie & garlic bread for the kids & hubbie earlier & i dont now HOW i managed to stop myself diving in the pan and eating some of it.... I admit that i...

Well done Garry!!! You're an inspiration to us all!! Happy Birthday Love!!!!:D

Hiya Carrie, Ive actually taken my scales to work and left them in the office so im not tempted to step on and off each time i go to the bathroom! It makes the weekly weigh-in more of a surprise. My friend is doing this with me and she has lost 20lbs in 2wks and ive lost 15lb. we're all...

Yeah, sorry about that Harriet!!!!:)

Very funny old man, very funny..... And, age aint a problem......My hubbie is 35 so he's getting on a bit too like you are.... Im gonna love ya & leave you and Tracy now cos the battery is dying on my Laptop & im too lazy & too comfortable to get up and plug it in!!!!!!!!!! See ya!!!xxxxxxxx

Hahaha!! If he was standing infront of me, id be shy but theres a Computer, 500miles and a BIG age gap between us so im full of false confidence!!! ha ha ha ha!!!!

now who's touchy....... Im sure its lovely......and when i get to your age, im sure i'll appreciate it more!!!:sign0151:

Dont get me started on your backdrop in your pic.....

Cheeky!!! Yeah, they were a bit hideous but we'd only just moved in and my mother-in-law gave me some for that room (the baby room)!!!! AND, my mother-in-law is from a completely different generation and loves all that flower power stuff...Shes around your age Garry!!!:D Dont worry, they've...

You're only as young as the woman you're feeling.... Happy Birthday for tomorrow tho honey!!!:party0019:

You?Shy? Yeah right, and im gonna be the next American Top Model.....

What can i say??! I started young! Graduated Uni at 20, baby at 22 & baby last Jan.... AND im still working fulltime!!!!!! so there..... I younger than most of my staff.....:sigh: How old are you Garry?? 40 or more?:D

Stop laughing:crazy:

No matter how thin we get, i dont think we'll ever get over that!! I've spent 26yrs being shy!!! (yes, im getting old...:cry:)

Ok. I'll try!!! (Not easy when you're shy...:sigh:) Thanks for the compliment...xxxx

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! alright.....sorry then... Lianne is better than Monica!! LOL:D

Stop!!! That was 4 months after the baby was born on her Christening day. I was in a size 18 top and some serious tummy tucking underwear. Thats not a smile, its PAIN from the knickers!!!:D:D:D

and its Lianna....get it right...LOL!!!:p

Your mind is unreal........Complete gutter brain..... MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!

AHHHHH stop!!!!!! My PC is wet!!!! (Get you mind out the gutter Garry...):D

Oh Harriet!!! Im drooling after reading that.....The thought of food at the moment is too much...:cry:

Nice speech!!!

Ducolax works for me but only take ONE!!!!

I posted a thread last week about how much water was enough. Some people were drinking up to 6 litres a day and some just 2.... Im only managing about 2.5 litres a day but im mixing my shakes with 500mls of water each time..... Fizzy water & soda water are what i drink as i hate normal...

A little white lie never hurt anyone......... The Chemist is trained to administer LT.......

Try fizzy water or soda water Michelle. I hate still water with a passion but i can stomach this. Keep busy for the 1st 3 or 4 days. I never sat down until about 9pm when i came in from work the 1st few days. I would clean house, cook dinners for the baby and hubbie, do washing OR go to...

Well done!!! Thats fantastic for week three! You have just given me more confidence for my 3rd weigh-in on Monday!!!! Starting Weight - 14.1 Week One - 13.6 (-9) Week Two - 13.0 (-6) Week Three (Monday!!!!!):D

HIya Shamrock, Week Three for me too and today my stomach RUMBLED for the first time in a couple of weeks!!! It was soo embarrassing as i was chairing a meeting & the room full of 11 people heard it!!!!! I didnt get any flapjacks this week as im too scared that the chewing sensation will...

Hiya, Go to bed early for the first few days. I did. It was the only way to get rid of the hunger & the temptation to eat. From day 4 it gets so much easier. I promise!!!! Id eat for a small city normally and would 'graze' on food for the evening when i came home from work so i HAVE to...

The orange oil cant be used according to my Chemist. It will probably kick you out of ketosis (Ive tried already!). Im using fresh mint leaves in my choc shakes everyday. Fresher taste!!! Im also using them in hot water instead of the peppermint tea bags...... Starting Weight - 14.1 Week One -...

You're hilarious:crazy:

Do you add anything to the soups? Salt? Pepper?

you're asking for it Gaz!!!!:D

Really pleased. Gonna double up on water this week & see whether i can get an even better loss next week.....

Hiya Lottie, I keep it simple now. Choc all the way!!! I mix them with ice & add Mint leaves to them which gives you a fresh choc mint taste!!! (mixed in the shaker of course) If its cold in the evening, i have the choc hot! (and sometimes add coffee) I did have vanilla my first week &...

Stop with the M!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking good Gary.........

Well i had my 2nd weigh in yesterday and am down another 6lbs and thats with less than 2.5lt of water in me a day...(due to my tonsilitis) Each to his own i suppose....

Hiya, Forgot to introduce myself when i started two weeks ago! Im Siobhan-Lianna. 27yrs old, 2 daughters (4 & 14 months) and SICK of being the biggest person in my healthy, fit family!!!!!:sigh: My motivation is simple - Im excited to see what i look like slim!!!!! Here are my stats &...

im gonna regret saying that one:gen144:

Im too logical for my own good....:sigh: I think to much... Im known as "Monica" (from Friends) to my mates..... Actually, maybe i should'nt have said that!!!:D:D And im very good as Maths thanks very much!!!!!

You've been thinking that one up for ages.....I can tell...

Dont apologise!!!!! I dont offend easily!!!!!:cool:

I usually mix my first one at home & drink in the car on way to work (naughty me!!!). That way, no one sees. I then wash out the shaker in the bathrooms and fill the second shake in the canteen a few minutes BEFORE it opens at 12 for lunch.....No witnesses!!!

Cook, clean and staying away from the kitchen!

was that a serious comment or were you making fun of me Mr???!!!!:D

Hiya, Im not a nusre but my job requires me to travel between Ireland & Leeds or London every two weeks and i';ve not had a problem with my shakes so far. I proudly told the fit guy at airport security that the empty shaker was for Lipotrim!!!! (Hopefully he will be working when i next go...

Jesus! I post a question this morning and come back and find half the members have responded!!! Very impressed!!! OK, so 6 litres is too much & 2 litres is slightly too little so if i stick to between 3 & 4 a day, im sorted!!!:D Thanks everyone!!!

Hiya Tracy, Im really worried that when i get to my goal weight that i'll be too scared to actually stop LT and re-feed in case i go back to my old eating habits. Im also worried that i'll change and have more confidence and my friends and hubbie will hate it......My hubbie is already worried...

I with you on that one Kellster!! I cooked Steak with all the trimmings for my hubbie & 4yr old last night & have just put the baby down for a nap and have just put the chicken in the oven for them later and am peeling spuds in between typing!!!! Im gonna melt the remaining 6 Easter Eggs with...

Im with the rest of them! M&S are great for measuring but so are La Senza (dont know if you have one near you). I have found tghat their bras are the most comfortable EVER. Even during my 2 pregnancies, i stayed in their bras and didnt opt for the M&S comfort maternity ones.......

Well im on day 13 (WI tomorrow evening) and im constantly asking my hubbie to tell me whether my breath is bad cos im sooo paranoid that people at work think i have bad breath. Im even drinking Listerine by the gallon at work too!!! Tongue not too bad. It was a weird grey colour 3 days ago but...

Hiya All, Im sure someone has asked this question somewhere along the way but i cant find any responses to this one!! How much water are you all drinking on average a day? (NOT including the water in your shakes/soup). My Chemist told me around 3/4 litres per day but my friend (who has...

Well Done!!! Whats your goal weight?

Hiya Ladylipo!! No, you're not the only one! Im here to! Co.Limerick. Originally a London girl but moved here 6yr ago after University.

They sound intriguing!!! I think im gonna have to ask the Chemist for a few next month. What are the flavours??

Thanks guys. Ive been in bed most of the day but have managed to have 2 shakes already and am sipping water as we speak. If i have'nt improved by Monday, i'll duck out of work in the morning and get more drugs! Starting to gargle salt water and taken paracetamol. I suffer from this quite a...

Hiya All, I've been on antibiotics for tonsilitis since my weigh-in on Monday. Chemist said it could knock me out of ketosis but i think its done the opposite. Im struggling to even get two shakes down let alone three. Ive only had two shakes a day for the last 2 days. Is this gonna affect...

Yeah, she promises she wont do it again!! She is going on holiday in 4wks. I told her to concentrate on losing the weight before the holiday & toning everything afterwards. Sure, id probably be the same if i had lost 12lbs this week!!! LOL

Hiya, My friend & i are doing LT together and she text me 20min ago to say she fainted it the supermarket!!!!! She had been to the gym and had'nt had her 3rd shake and passed out. I told her off and said to avoid the gym for the moment. She got her wk one weigh in and lost 12lbs!!!!!! so is...

Ha ha!! I did remove the blanket off the baby and put my 4yr in just a large T-shirt tonight!!!!!! That has to count a bit??:D:D

No big deal???!!!!! Im wrapped in my dressing gown and a fleecy blanket with my laptop on my lap, one hand tucked into my pocket and blowing on the other one for warmth in between typing!!!! AND i have the heat on!! My kids must be melting in their beds!! LOLOL

Cheers for that Tracy!! Hat, gloves and fleece over my suit tomorrow at work it is then!! My staff are gonna think im mad.....:D

Now im scared. You all drink waaay more water than me!:eek: Im managing about 2.5 litres max a day BUT i have been mixing all my shakes to 450mls and have been having my normal 4 cups of coffee a day so thats gotta count for something!

And how long does this last for!!??? If i could work on my PC with gloves on, i would!!!! People though i was mad today at work.!!

OMG???!!!! I have to get some of them!!!! (Er...Joke.) LOL!!!:D:D

Hiya everyone!, Im just finishing day 4, no longer hungry & the headache has gone but im SO COLD!!!!!! Is this normal when you're on Lipotrim??? I never normally feel the cold but i have'nt been able to keep warm for the last 2 days during the day OR night!! I dont feel unwell so its def...

Love the picture of the baby Fatothin!!!!

Thanks!!! You're all really kind!!! I'll keep you all posted with the progress!!!!! Im gonna try somemore water cos my head is kinda thumping!!!:wave_cry:

Thanks for that Debz! As long as it grows back - i can live with that!!! Are we allowed to take multi-vitamins on this diet or is everything included in the sachets?

Hiya everyone!! Started LT yesterday so im just finishing day two and im on a mission to shift the excess baby weight and shape up for the summer!! I've been checking out the Inspiration slide show and have been reading all the posts since the weekend and am really overwhelmed by the...
