An update and a bit of encouragement to new starters Red dress showing 6 stone weight loss. Black outfit after losing first stone (I was too ashamed to take a photo at the beginning!)See how much more of the door you can see! Just wanted to update my diary for anyone who has read of my...

Welcome back Jayne!!!! It's good to see you back. I've been quiet on posting cos Im ultra stresses at minute. But once this passes I'll be back to keep you company. Good luck x

Yeah, one dinner lady back so don't have to cover the dinner hall now!! Off for walk round to talk with the children and enjoy the sun (well clouds!!)

Watch it you!!!! I'm a woman of high morals and pure virtue. Or at least I was till I met you ;-)

I think it's all the thanking him I've been doing since losing 5 stone that led to me being sent the flowers today :ashamed0005:

My thighs are killing me today. Winced my way through assembly!!!! All that bedning down to speak to the littlies when giving out awards nearly killed me. Plus we are two dinnerladies down at the minute so I'm having to cover the dinner hall all lunchtime. 75 mins of walking up and down...

Welcome along Mandy. You'll find lots of support on here and that weight will soon be melting away! Dusty

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Even with all your p****ing about you've still lost more weight than me!!! But only just. You bets get your bum into gear this week or I'll be overtaking you!!!!!! Jane x

Yeah!!!! Tweeza's allowed out to play again you back on LT or moving over to Cmbridge

No. The only thing slowing me down has been falling of the wagon. But I'm back on board done full week. So bring on the next five stone to go!!!!!

Well can hardly move tonight! Decided that I need to start some exercise to try and mitigate against the flabby, loose-skin, bingo wings that will make their appearance. I know they are the curse of almost every woman over 40 ( Madonna doesn't have them but I wouldn't want her veiney, muscle...

Hi Daisy, I've had several blips along my journey so far, both planned and unplanned. You can read my diary to see what I mean. I find it easier to get over the planned ones than when I've just fallne off the wagon. I kow that with out the blips I'd probably be a good stone lighter than I am...

Hi, I really like the flapjacks, but most people think they are the work of the devil!!!!! They are very savoury and quite salty tasting. When you first take them out of the packet they smell like oxo cubes, not pleasant. So I take mine out 5 mins before I eat it ti let the smell waft away. I...

:) Helloooooooooo! Dooooo youooooooo speeeeeeeeak whaaaaaaaaaaaaale tooooooo?

Sally. If you prefer a savoury salty taste you might like the flapjacks. Some people think they are the work of the devil but I really enjoy mine. I eat them with big cup of tea. I didn't like them the first time I tried them but are hooked on them now. I think they are very savoury. When you...

Well done Daisy. You're doing so well. Such an inspiriation!

Hi Daisy, i'm back!!! I'm ok thnks for asking. Last week was very fed up because even though stuck to diet I actually gained nearly 2 pound. Felt very sorry for myself. But stupidly instead of coming on here, having a rant, getting support and carrying on, I went on a bit of a bender involving...

It's such a greta feeling when soemone pays you a compliment isn't it. Well done you. I'm sure you'll hit 54lb by end of May. What's your total goal and do you think you might get there before the wedding? Dusty

Well done on all your weight loss so far. Stay strong and keep it up and you'll be in those clothes in no time! dusty x

Good for you! You should get three stone off in four months easy. If you make sure there's no mor cheating, you could get it off in three. Stay strong Dusty

Thanks Daisy and Ovolass!

Thank you. I said to my husband the other day (forgive the cheese) I feel like a flower that's opening up in the sun. i finally feel like I'm getting to be the me thats been missing for over 14 years.

Many thanks for your kind words. Going from this to this Is what keep me going for the next 5 stone!!

Many thanks Ali, you're always so supportive. I had an amzing weekend. Had a spa break with bessie mate. Went to the Last Drop at Bolton. The spa there is lovely and they have pool that's half inside and half outside. So we were sat in the pool in the sunsine! Does life get any better? Made...

This made me laugh cos I've had a bit of a knicker break through this month. Some weeks ago my poor hubby told me I needed to do somehting about my pants as they made him weep (and not in a good way! :cry: ). Since I've been so big I've been wearing the "polo neck" pants you buy from Evans in...

Here you go Daisy!!!

OMG!!! So happy!!! Just got in a size 18 dress in Wallis. I was in a 28 just after Christmas!!!!!! It's a loose style so wouldnt get in an 18 any where else. But got to take the victories while you can ?

Hi. i'll try and offer you my thought on your weigth loss pattern., hope they help. Firstly, looking at your weight loss ticker it seems you have only 32lb to lose. Whilst this may seem like a lot, in comparison to those who have regular big losses (like me), its not. I'm also assuming that...

Well it feels like a long time since I wrote in this dairy. I'm still doing ok, but not broke through 5 stone mark yet!!Grrr! Only 1 pesky pound off this week. It really affected my motivation over the weekend and I found myself picking at things I thought wouldn't affect me. Whic then led to...

Good luck for weigh in Daisy!

Im so pleased to hear from you!!!!!!!!I thought you'd thrown in the towel and I need my dieting sister! i see that, even though you've had anew rou.gh weeks, you're still on the downwards trend :) Looking forward to usual service returning. Make sure you update that diary with tomorrows...

hi Ali, only just found your diary. I've not strayed away from the LT forum much for fear of the unknown. You're doing really well, 6 stone gone is amazing. Well done you and thanks for all the support you've been giving me. We can do it!!

Well, I've changed my stats cos I think my weight has finally settled down. Three weeks ago I was sick, so when i went to the chemist it looked like I'd lost 9lb. I knew that couldn't be right and must be dehydration. Sure enough, when I went back the week after the scales said I'd gained 3lb...

Well, I think I've just found where I'll be taking hubby for a weekend break to celebrate our next wedding anniversary (22 years). He once ate a 32oz steak, but complained because the bucket of prawns he'd had as a starter meant he couldn't finish the frys that came with the steak!! He...

Well done Bex, I know you must be a bit dissappouinted but 2lb off is 2lb gone for ever! You'll hit that 5 stone next week, so 5 stone gone in 18 weeks is amazing!!!!!

Hi Bex, well done you. Lots of fingers crossed for you (plus a fw toes). I've got 4lb till 5 stone too!! So lets hope we'll both be celebrating BIG style soon. dusty x

Good luck! You know it works and hvaing been here before, you know all the pitfalls. you can do it

Now, now Mr C. If I was doing a man impression I'd be upstairs in bed having my other half careeing up and down the stairs all day attedning to my every whim! Either that or lying on the sofa with both remote controls firmly locked in my hand making everyone else suffer programmes such as "How...

Well done Jayne! It's great to see you still losing (and at a great rate too) Keep on that scenic route!

Tell them you hvae a blood test the next morning and have to fast before hand. If they know you're on the diet you can be even more creative by saying its so the docotr can check you're doing the right thing by being on the diet. then the week after you tell them that the doctor's very pleased...

Good luck witht he weigh in Daisy. Congratulations to your two daughters for getting their uni places. Dusty

Hi Jayne, I'm still here! Been poorly last week, don't think I've anything left in my colon now! When i went for weigh in I'd lost 9lb!!!!! But I'm not writing that down as my weight loss as I'm sure I'll put some of that back on. Then been away for weekend. Had to drive 400 miles to attend...

I have three flapjacks most days and am steadily losing. I find three flapjacks easier to fit in than three shakes. There used to be a male poster who had lost loads of weight on three flapjacks a day. so much so that he reached goal and I've not seen him on this forum for ages!

Well done Jayne!

Thanks Daisy

Well, first weigh in after my break and my bad days. I've been pretty up and down, both weight wise and emotion wise over the past three weeks. But the good news is that according to the chemist's scale I'm three pound down form my last weigh in. Hopefully the weight/emotions will be more...

Hi Mary. Welcome along (I know I'm a bit late with that). good luck on your weigh in tomorrow. dusty

Well done on that 4lb off!!

Lots to think about then! With adult, they should be more motivated (unless they're there because education/training is now compulsary till 18), but the pay can be very poor in the FE sector. Secondary, you've got the behaviuor issues (which, if the leadership of the school is poor, can make...

Fabulous loss! Well done Diasy, and fingers crossed for your two girls :fingerscrossed:

Well done you! I think it's really hard to go back into education when you've all the pressures of adult life too! What subject would you teach or are you thinking about primary?

That's amazingly well done!! You must be so pleased and your visitors are going to get a real shock when they see you! Stay strong, and make sure you come back to us after your visitors have gone

Well done on the weight loss! What are you studying?

Many thanks Lou!! My boys are my pride and joy. They are both strapping 6ft 4" now (age 14 and 17) but they still give their mum a hug and kiss and tell me they love me every day. So I guess I did something right! Mind you, youngest had big phase of wanting to come to my school, but he's quite...

That's the "joy" of being 6ft tall....you do carry weight spread out! Thanks for the encouragement.

good luck!

Great to hear your doing so well on your next phase of the journey. You've been such a support and encouragement to everyone on here, you deserve to thrive on maintenence!

Hi Daisy, good to see your feeling better. Hope all goes well for your daughters and thier interview's

Good luck on your weigh in today!

Thanks Daisy. I did go back and reread my diary last night and that really helped. you forgte about the journey you've been on sometimes. I also dug out some clothes that fit ok but with another half stone of will look great. So, i'm not going to wear them till I've lost that half stone. Then...

THANKS LITTLE FLOWER.

Thanks Mr C and Patches mum for your words of encouragement. I'm feeling loads more in control and opptamistic today. Yesterday just blind sided me cos I though I'd broke the cycle of being out of control. Just shows that you need to be ever vigilant! I've been stuck in the cycle of lose...

I'm really struggling the past two days. Yesterday I ate some pizza and today some mini eggs! I didn't even enjoy the chocolate so why am I doing it?? I've got down to this weigth before and faced the same problems. I get to below 20 st and then seem so sbaotage and then gradually put it all...

I really like the flapjacks, but I don't like the soup!!! Welcome along Emily. You'll soon have that weight off!

Welcome along. I'm on phase two after having an Easter break! You'll be fine and the weight will soon fall off! Just stick wiht us for support and encouragement

You get through by focussing on what you want to acheive and not focussing on what you think you are missing (i.e. food). Don't think about this as a temporary "punishment" but as a time in whihc you are going to leanr to have control over food rather than food having control over you! When...

I lost 15lb in my first week!

Well done Kay. as long as you stick with the same scales for this weigh in you shpuld be fine! I'm using my scales not my pharmacist's too!

Hi Kay, well done on staying so strong! don't forget to update your May day challenge with your 5lb loss!!!

Glad you enjoyed the camping, we didn't go as the only thing we were in danger of getting was frost bite or wet rot!!!

hi Jayne, I'm weighing in on Thursdays but been on holiday so got stuff left over and won't be weighing until next Thursday now. My own scales (which are pretty much same as chemists) say 3lb off this week though. Please with that because after my Brighton break I was plus 4lb. So in total I'm...

:8855:Really funny! Well done on the song and the brilliant weight losses! Keep them both up we all need things to cheer us up as we go along on this diet

Well done Bex!!

Well done Bex!! I'm here for another 12 weeks too, so we can keep each other company

Well done pebbles! Well on your way to swanning around the beach looking slinky

I have a Bichon Friese, not a type I would have chosen but, one of the reasons I was able to hold out on having a dog for so long was because my eldest son is very allergic to all animals. But then my sister in law got a Bichon and told us they were "hypo-allergenic" and my eldest doesn't react...

Well done on the weight loss Daisy! You're going to be the coolest Grandma on the block!

:) Sorry, I hope you're not offended by my comments, but this is why LT have so many sections to write in, so that those staying on TFR diet can do so without the distractions (cos its hard enough as it is and it's hard to remember which diaries to avoid when you're reading through the forums...

You're doing so well littleflower, keep it up. Was sorry to read about Muffin! We got our first ever dog two years ago (I'm 45 and been married 23 years). I resisted getting a dog for ages as I didn't want to be tied down etc, but youngest son had always wanted on and had nagged me...

Wow Peachy. You look amazing in those photos, well done you!

Any weight gain would have showed up at the last weigh in as on this diet the first gains are glycogen and water, so don't worry about the next weigh in. It's really hard on this diet getting through each day at a time without worrying about the next day. Stop beating up on yourself. :bighug:

Isn't it a pain how our emotions are so closely linked to our eating. Had stupid row with husband at midnight last night over the fact that there was no milk. Somehow this is my fault!! Lost it with him this morning when i got up and found the milk he couldn't find last night. So left for work...

I hope you have a really nice break, glad you're looking so great that your friend has been inspired by you. Thats a great compliment. But if you are going to post about the food you're eating, could I ask that you put your diary in the refeed or maintenance section please.

Tis done! See above :happy096:

Thats brilliant. Well done you!! Keep it up and you'll soon be at goal.

Hi Jayne, great to see your still losing wieght. Good on you! keep us posted Jane

Well done Daisy. Sounds like you've got this plan nailed at the minute. I'm trying to get back on plan after a week off. Lost four stone, six to go but I'm focusing on the next two to start off with as that will take me to my lightest since I had my youngest son (he's 14 next month so I can't...

Welcome back!! Your's was one of the diaries I read for thinspiration when starting on LT! Glad to see you here to finish your journey. Congratulations on your forthcoming wedding too!

Hi Leah, good luck on getting to the goal YOU want to get to! Have you swapped chemist to find better support? Dusty

That's fantastic loss. Well done you staying strong throught the first two weeks. It's certainly paid off. http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/269754-four-weeks-till-may-bank-holiday-challenge.html Join in the challenge to help keep you motivated.

http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/269754-four-weeks-till-may-bank-holiday-challenge.html Why not join in the may bank holiday challenge to keep you motivated beyond the wedding.

http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/269754-four-weeks-till-may-bank-holiday-challenge.html Join in with the next weight loss challenge of trying to get at least a stone off by may bank holiday. That may help you stay motivated in the face of the chocolate temptation this weekend

You'll have no arse left once we're at target weight, it will be slimmed off. Then we'll need a night out to wiggle wiggle wiggle cos We're Sexy and we know it :8855:

You've done so well up to now!!! You should soon get any weight gained during your mad week off and then it's onwards and downwards for summer. I'll be driving through the bonnie lands of Scotland in three weeks. Hopefully will be able to take a halt in tweeza land :fingerscrossed:

Glad to see you back sister of mine! We'll kick this diets arse together :whoopass:

http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/269754-four-weeks-till-may-bank-holiday-challenge.html Its here time to motivate each other again hunny!!!

Hi there everyone. I managed to complete the Easter challenge and am keen to stay motived over next few weeks. It is exactly 4 weeks between Easter and Mayday! If I can manage 3lb or 4lb a week, that will be a stone gone by Mayday!! Who is with me on this??? Dusty......14lb to lose....0lb...

Just consulted my diary and its four weeks from Easter weekend to the May Bank holiday (the one at the beginning of May). Whose up for a four week mini challenge?? I'll start a new thread, see below for the link. Dusty...

Hi Clair, Good to see you back. I treid LT a couple of years ago, lost three stone but stupidly didn't address my issues with food and put four back on. So started off this time a full stone heavier than the last time I started! Because i'm determined to use this time as the time I address my...

Well done you! 46lb in 9 weeks is great! Are you planning on losing any more?

Well, I'm now trying to get back 100% TFR. I had a break last week when i took my mum and aunt (both 70) to Brighton for a few days. I was really pleased with how I did. I stuck to only eating at meal times (and actually didn't hvae nay lunch on day because I just wasn't hungry). I didn't have...

Well done you on not giving in last night. You'd have been really down today if you had. The first week is the hardest. I found it helpful to think of the hunger pangs as withdrawal symptoms. I found if i said to myself--"this will pass" it made it easier, and sure enough the pangs did pass...

Oooh, personal shopper!! Not thought of that but its going on my list now!!!

i know what you mean. I live close to the Trafford Centre but have only been able to clothes shop in one shop for past 10 years. i think I may book inot the nearby travel lodge once I'm at goal weight so I've time to visit all the shops!!:giggle:

Whey hey!!!!!!! Very pleased! Just bought a blouse form Wallis. First time I've been able to fit in their clothes for over 10 years.

Well done you on your fab loss and shrinking body!! Drop by and keep us updated on the next part of your journey!! Good luck.

Glad you like it. It brings back memories of me and my mum driving in car in the 70s singing our heads off to this, with dad and brother shaking their heads and muttering!! I have a CD on to which I burned this song repeatedly so that when I'm having a bad time I can put it on and sing along...

Hi Jayne, fantastic to hear that you are keeping on track in the next part of your journey!! Good luck, keep us posted and enjoy the camping! Dusty xx

Woke up feeling very positive today! Bit worried that I'd go of course during refeeding- thinking that if I'm going to eat I might as well have toast etc but I'm staying on plan! Just sold loads of stuff on ebay that was too big for me as I'm not going back there again. Consequently I've got...

Well done on the first weigh in results! I like the flapjacks but I always drink them with a big cup of tea!! Keep going you're doing so well. Dusty

Well done you. That must be a great encouragement to keep going!

Well done on your first loss and stayimg 100%. Its great that you have a mini goal of 8 weeks to keep you focused. When I first started on this I had in the back of my mind that I'd do 12 weeks. But that felt like such a long time that it seemed my mount everest! However, here I am 12 weeks...

Well done Daisy on getting through your first week. Its great that you can see the long term goal and are not just living day to day. Keep strong! Dusty

Wow 16 off i the first week is very impressive! Well done you!

Thanks for the support everyone. Once I'm back TFR I'm aiming for another four stone off in the 16 weeks till summer holidays

Well another three off. That's a FANTASTIC four stone in twelve weeks ? When I started out it was my plan to do this till now with the aim of getting 3 stone off. I'm going away for two mini breaks in next two weeks so thought now would be the time to move over to another diet. However I've...

Hey Slinky, you need to go watch this!! I Am Woman - Helen Reddy - YouTube Click on to go there!!

Many thanks. It's a long road but I'm a lot further along than I was in January

Thats a fantastic loss! I lost 16 in my first week too and still went on to have some good losses after that. Well done and keep on! Dusty

Ha!!!! Bag of bones I wish!!

http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-weight-loss-diaries/267720-ready-change.html Its here.

Hi Lou. I've took advantage of free listing weekend to get rid of the old me too!!! I made up my mind to get rid of anything that was just a little bit too big because I don't want clothes that ate comfy. Or I'll stay in them. Never listed so much in one go before. I think big sizes do sell...

Many thanks! One more stone and I'm half way there!

Had a bit of a happy moment this morning. Getting lots of compliments on how much better I'm looking at the moment. But, I've been here before and once people start telling me I look better, I start to lose motivation and then slip backwards. So, I've told my office staff that they are not...

10 weeks later, I've lost almost four stone and look like this....

At the end of my first week I'd lost a stone and looked like this.....

Well done you!! Keep going

I've addedd some photo albums if anybody's interested in seeing the difference 4 stone can make when you're 6ft tall ;)

Welcome along. 8 stone should be gone by Christmas no problem if you stick to this. I've lost nearly four stone in 11 weeks, so it can be done. Trying to lose another 4 before August. So, I'll be here for a while to keep you company. Dusty

Hi Bethyi If you read my diary you'll see I did the same. Checked the menu out in advance. Avioded the carbs, drank sparkling water. Nobody at the meal noticed and even better, I still lost that week!!

Hi Marley, you can definitely do tis on Lipotrim. I'm on week 11 and have 3lb to go till 4stone off. When I set out at New Year the thought of getting four stone off by Easter seemed impossible. But to start off with I just took it one day at a time, and the time soon whizzed by and the...

Well, I'm nothing if not consistent! Another 3lb off this week. 3 to go till four stone!!! I will have them off by next weigh in!

I've been on ten weeks. Got 6lb to go and I'll have lost four stone.

Hi. Good to see you back!! Our stats are nearly the same! I'm an inch taller than you and 2lb heavier. And we both have the same end goal!! I wish I'd tackled my problme before hitting 30! Good luck to you. We can do this togther!! Dusty

Well done Bev. Those 4lbs will soon be a distant memory!!!

Hi Bex, I'm doing fine. Just 6lb to go to four stone off. Hoping to do it by hubby's birthday on 30th March. Which would be four stone in 12 weeks. I dared not believe I might achieve this when I set out, but now I know I will. The first four stone is my first goal as that will take me to...

Hi Bex, you're doing so well! good on you. Don't forget to update your Easter challenge details!!

Well done you! Don't forget to update your Easter challenge

Welcome along Akri. you'll find lots of support and help along the way. Plus there's a good few of us with similar amounts to lose as you. So stick with us and you'll never hve to say "I will be thin by....." again

Hi Nikki!! Hope your back on track after your dinner dance! Its hard getting back inot it after a break (even if it was planned). But you had fantatsic results so far. Don't let them slip away now. Dusty x

Twinkle. :bighug: Stop beating yourself up! You've got a healthy BMI now and that's a fantastic acheivement. Maybe you need to think of another diet plan to get you through to the end and teach you how to manage to eat food and control your weight at the same time. Look at Hockey Nut's diary...

Well done Jacs on staying strong for so long. It seems you're doing well on this diet. Where you going to kepp your jeans so that you keep your gola in mind? I keep an item of clothig thats just a bit too small for me on the outside of my wardrobe to spur me on. Then in the evening if I'm...

Hi Beth, sorry you're having such a tough time at the minute. People who don't support the diet are looking for a reaction from you so they can start having a go. If I'm in the situation where someone is trying to get me to eat something, I usually just remain smiling and keep saying "No...

Fantastic! Well done girly.

Hey, look at that! We've both lost just over a third of the weight we want to lose!!! Well done you! Two pound off is two pound not weighing you down or tying you to your old life every again!! Sleep well sweetie x

i wouldn't worry about work. no one has noticed that I'm on LT and its 10 weeks now!!! Good luck. Don't think about failing just think about decreasing!

Hi Sammie, you're doing really well on this diet. You've had consistent losses and seem to be well settled in to the routine now. Keep it up and you'll be looking fab very soon. I think once your four or five weeks in boredom becomes the biggest risk factor (rather than temptation). Make...

Many thanks and! Its a real struggle getting going. But I found once i was three/four weeks in it got easier. Good luck on finishing your journey

3lb off this week. Seems to be a pattern for me! 50lb off in 10 weeks is great:). Two weigh ins and 6lb to got till hubby's birthday. Here's hoping I stay losing 3lb each week to get me to my first big goal.

well done you. The first of many great losses!

Well done you! We'll soon be seeing less of you :)

Not been posting as much recently as I'm finding that LT has just become a way of life for me now! At the beginning it was sooo hard I was here almost evry hour looking for the support, but now I find the time flying. Hope that offers some hope to those of you just starting on the journye ot a...

Just focus on the fact that the hubger pangs WILL pass. If you give inot them then you'll feel rubbish for a lot longer than the pangs will last for! hang in there!

OMG. I know what you mean about the bath. Infact I've not had a bath for about 6 years cos I'm so frightened of getting stuck in there. And before you start.........no I don't stink I shower :-)

I think WW is a brill idea! It has a regimented plan that you need to stick to and learn to portion control (unlike SW) and to control how you eat treats. And its the control that we all know is our biggest downfall. So getting support now you can eat proper food is a really good plan. Good...

Glad to see you back Julie. Onwards and downwards :-)

Well done you! Look, you've nearly lost 20% of your body weight!!!!! You must be feeling so much better.

Thanks everyone. 3lb off this week. Not bad considering its TOTM! My hormones have been raging this week. Could cheerfully have stuffed my face at any time this week or failing that, killed a close family member. Thankfully, hormones subsiding now and clam being resorted:)

Don't worry if your loss isn't as big as you'd hoped due to TOTM. It will be a bigger loss next week ;) Well, thats what happens to me.

I like the peanut flapjacks best. I don't mind all the shakes, though chocoalte is my favourite. I like them either hot with a sweetner or freezing cold with lots of crushed ice. No inbetween temperature will do :p I've tried the soup 3 times and I can't abide it!

That's good news for your son. We actually moved house because the feeder secondary for my son's primary was so bad, I couldn't chance him going there. At least with one son in, you should have a better chance of your second son getting in as siblings are often given higher priority on...

If you read the legend that is Betsy Botox's diary, you'll see she had two operations whilst on LT and stayed 100% through out. http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-tfr-100/145038-my-100-experience-opinion-what-its-worth.html

Best thing to do is to take photos and write descriptions on paper. Then parcel up items and weight them. Then you can go on the postoffice website for price and the itmes are already to go when you sell them. don't forget to add a bit on top for the admin :) Or, you can take the lazy way...

Hi Twinkle, I remember us starting this togther! can't believe you're nearly at the end now! Well done you. Counting the days for you :) dusty

Do you sometimes feel events are conspiring against you to make you eat?!? I'm tense at the moment due to PMT. Done loads housework, so getting more and more annoyed at hubby who hasn't done any! Spent 90mins this morning going through youngest son's maths homework. Getting more and more...

Well done you! 3 stone off is amazing!

Thats fantastic. Was worried that unhelpful post had seen you off before you'd even started! Keep going!

I've got a hubby and two teenage boys that keep me busy. But I also look after lots of other kids (plus 57 adults) on an almost daily basis cos I'm a headteacher!!! I love my job and my kids ( all 500 of them) :-)

I know exactly what you mean about time travelling :-) As you can see from my goals I'm currently the lightest Ive been for a few years and once I get the rest of this stone off I'll be the lightest I've been this decade! Then I'll be aiming for the lightest I've been this century :-) After that...

Thats a really good attitude. We all need to be able to learn to go to the places where we would usually (and often unnecessarily) eat and then not eat. I find "leisure"s hopping one of my big trigger points. Its only as I've been walking round shopping centres that I realised how I would...

I had four days of last week, and was worried about how I'd get back on TFR. When you read the problmes some posters have had getting back 100% it can be concerning. What I did was to go back and read my first posts to remind myself od why I'm doing this and how I overcame the first week of...

Well done you!!!

Great to see you back! You'll soon have the gained weight off and more besides!

TracyAnne...........32lb to lose......0lb lost.....32lb to go Dusty67..............21lb to lose.......9lb lost.....12lb to go Tweeza...............30lbs to lose.....10lb lost.... 20lb to go First timer............20lbs to lose.....0lb lost.....20lb to go Brien77 (Sinead)....20lb to...

Been for weigh in and lost 2lb. Thats technically 2lb in ten days, but as I was AWOL for four of those days, I'm happy with 2lb off! And not I'm back 100% and raring to go.

My hubby, my mum and my bessie mate know and thats it! I don't want to hear all the negative comments from people who have no idea about what its like to have been on diet all your adutl life and yet still be double the weight you were when you left school!!!! Now people are commenting on...

Glad to be of help :) As you can see, we both started with very similar BMIs and you can see how quickly I've seen a big change. Whilst your such a shorty (:p:p) you could see you BMI falling even quicker than me. Good luck, you've done the hardest thing by joining up to the diet. Focus on...

Hi Bethyi, welcome aboard the LT adventure. What a shame that the first reply to your diary was not one of encouragment and congratulations for facing what has obviulsy been a difficult decision. Just so you know, I've tried every diet/slimming club/ get healthy initiative there is. In the...

Hi Jayne, I'm going to stay on either Thursday or Friday! Tuesday is a real busy night for me so end of week much better.

Thats a fantastic loss Pebble! You should be really proud of how you've managed to get right into this plan. Keep going. I find week three the hardest cos its then that you're settling inot the realisation that you'll be doing this for a while. So stay focused and stay on here for the support...

Hi Jayne. thanks for the encouragment. on my scales at home I'm now back to what I was when I went off plan last week. So hopefully when i go for my weigh in on Friday I'll have a small loss! Fingers crossed:p

Thanks Kate! And well done on your great loses too:)

Well hopefully she'll grow up a little after this!

How did you get on at college today?

The hunger pangs will pass once you get into ketosis. Though they do creep up on you eveyr now and then even when your well into the diet. I try to think of them as the same as nicotine cravings whne you are giving up smoking, in that eventually they will go and you'll be free of your...

Yeaaaaaaahhhh! 4lb of is fantastic news. Well done you!!

Thanks. I know some people would stay 100% till end. But I'm a bit worried I'll just go off the rails once I can eat. This way I know I can have a break, eat and not go wild, then reign it back in when I need to. I'm 100% TFR now till end of march when were away for ESster. Then I'll go back...

Good luck with tomorrow then. Have you written down what you want to say in case you get upset or angry and lose your thread?

Well done you! I'm sitting at computer in our dinning room whilst my brood tuck into the tea I've cooked for them!!!

Sorry, that post sounds far to preachy doesn't it. :( I see you've already said you're sticking to water. Well done. You'll not regret it in the long run ;)

Looks lovely! what a motivation!

Come on Jayne ;) You can do it! You're over half way through your 100% weeks and you've proved how strong you are. Keep going

I would seriously think about not drinking on the night out for lots of reasons. Firstly, drinking whilst being on any TFR programme is dangerous. There is a thread about it somewhere here for all the sceince bits; but basically if you've ntohing in you to absorb the alcohol then it works lots...

3lb is a great loss. If you lost that every week you'd have a stone a month off

Welcome along. You'll find lots of help and support here. You can have three stone off by May if you stick to the plan!

Its only a disaster if you let it take over! Get right back onto plan and you wont even notice it when it comes to weigh in time ;) Good luck!

i want to go anywhere hot and sunny. we usually take a foreign holiday every other year. there's about 10 of us (family) go together and we hire a villa in the middle of nowhere. However, due to differnt things happening, we wont be going togther this year. It will just be the four of us. Now...

Hi Girly, you ok? You're very quiet. Dusty

Well that's me back in the land of TFR 100%. I've been off plan since thursday (it was planned) and according to my scales I've put about 4lb on. I don't regret it as I did plan to do this from the beginning, its just a case of getting straight back on it ASAP. I was 100% yesterday, so today...

I think booking a holiday is a great idea for both motivation and reward!! I've been looking longingly at the Thomas cook website but my hubby keeps being given his redundancy notice at work only to get to the dat before he's supposed to finish and then they extend it for another six weeks. It's...

I hated the flap jacks first time I tried them. Now I enjoy them and have one for lunch every day! I find the trick is to take them out the packet about 10 mins before I want to eat it

Ooh! Fingers crossed that weight stays off :-) I've often thought about the difference between men and women on this diet. Did you read John S diary? He lost almost every day and his weight never went up. Where as us women seem to fluctuate over the week!!! Of the joys of hormones

That would make a nice pair of bookends!! Mark Owen on one side of shelf and Bruno Mars at the other end!!! I'm really going to have to do something about my short man fixation :-)

Well done you another day 100% over with!

Ah! The joy of teenagers :-)

I love his music but was seriously perturbed when saw him on Brits this week! He's so short! Another SPLAT waiting to happen :-)

Clair you've done so well up to now!! You can get to the goal you want!!!

Well done you on getting through your hard day and staying on plan! You're certainly flying now :-)

These are the times I'm glad I have two boys :-)

You really are a loon :-)

Ha de ha!!!!

Welcome along!! You'll find lots of help and support here. And even better you'll soon have that weight off and be feeling soooo much stronger! :-)

You're doing very well daisy! Keep it up I enjoy reading your diary :-)

Shaking by hand is a nightmare!!!! I use a tea strainer when that happens otherwise I'd be gagging on the lumps:.-)

Tweeze!!! Come out come out where ever you are :-)

Welcome along. You've joined a great diet and a fantastic forum!! Being on here will give you all the support you need to stay on plan and lose the weight!

Egg is low carbs high protein so you should be ok. I found on my first TOTM it didn't make any difference. On my second I only lost 1lb but the next week I lost 7 making it 8 in two weeks. So don't stress about it. As long as your on plan weight comes off over time. Your doing so well up to...

Good effort so far :-) keep it up and you'll soon see a big difference

Welcome along Ava! You'll find lots of support on this forum and you'll soon have the weight off and be looking fabulous :-)

How's the college work going?

Sounds like you need some serious equipment for this running lark :-). Good excuse to postpone taking it up me thinks!!!

Think about everything you've acheived and lost since starting LT. Put some music on and have a hot drink, I find that helps. I like the vanilla shake hot with a sweetener in it for extra comfort. You've come so far don't give up Dusty xx

I'm away for two days then will spend Sunday rewriting the arts policy and putting a creative writing section into the English policy. We've got an arts Mark visit on Friday and hoping we move from silver to gold.

What a cow!!!!!! 5lb off on week 8(?) is amazing. I'm gonna have to come up there and slow you down else you're gonna be finished before me :-) . I'm off plan this weekend as I'm away. It was originally my intention just to do LT till now then start WW or something similar. But having had such...

I had small loss of just 1 last week but then lost 7 this week. Don't worry it evens itself out over the weeks :-)

You've done so well on this so far! You should be really proud of your achievement.

Oh good for you!!! I'd be worried of blacking my eyes at the minute if I ran :-)

Me too. I found I was back into ketosis two days after blip and had noheadaches to get through. Good luck getting back into it

That's an amazing loss. Well done

That's amazing Amy!!!!! Well done you.

Well done. That must be a great boost

Many thanks everyone!

I remember reading that someone had mixed the vanilla shake with hot water then crumbled in a flapjack to make a porridge. I'm always frightened of experimenting in case I dont like it and then it's a waste of products

OMG!!! That's amazing change. Well done you

Hi Jayne, I've just got into the less than 100lb to lose today and it feels great! So keep it up and if you stay with tour 2.5 a week, you'll have just over 70 by time you finish your 14 weeks! Well done dusty
