Hi Lou.. How are you doing? I have been worried my skin feels a bit loose and saggy, and started loosing hair ...is this right? Not suprised at the skin thing, when you loose weight quickly that will happen i guess. Day 25 Not doing too well! only lost 2lb this week but havent done too well...

hI HUN did you weigh in? Dont keep us in suspense!!!

Day 18 OOOPS. Last night without even thinking about it I finished some pasta sitting on the cooker that the kids had left. I just had a completely weird moment like I totally forgot that I no longer eat real food. Thing is I dont know why (cos I think about very little else but the diet) and...

Yes it will! Get a pic of something you want to wear to this wedding... this is a really big motivation! I'm right with you babe, certainly been struggling to stay 100% the last couple of days x x

Dont go buying anything just yet babe! 5 weeks could mean you drop at least 1 dress size. And having a goal to look ahead to is really helpful. I have a wedding, and I found a beautiful dress on ebay which wont look good at my current size, but I printed the picture and stuck it in the kitchen...

Dear fat please re-distribute in a more acceptable fashion. Either go to my boobs or just do one altogether. I did not require a flat chest and do not wish to retain my massive arse. Sort it out.

Thank you honey! you too x x:D

Know how you feel hun! I work 9-5 in an office also so I know how tough it is. We still have several tins of sweets from Xmas, cakes all the time and I'm sitting next to a girl who eats all day long - chocolate, sandwiches, crisps, biscuits. But it makes me feel like I've achieved something when...

Thanks... look at you, you're nearly there! Must be an amazing feeling... well done to you too xx

You too!! You are well on the road to massive losses, fills me with admiration! Just goes to show that no matter how hard it is, it really is worth it in the end. I will be keeping an eye on your diary too Hun x x x:D

I do agree with lou above re timings. I have my first @ 9.30 after I get to work, 2nd @2pm and 3rd after I've fed the kids about 7. However, yesterday the pharmasist told me you should have the last one as early as possible i.e before 6pm to achieve better weight loss & to change evening eating...

Thanks love x you too x

I love you Lou... you are so thoughtful x Well day 14 is here. Never thought 2 weeks would go this fast. just been for 2 week weigh in and have lost another 7lb, so 1 stone of fat has left some part of my body (probably my boobs sadly and not my arse unfortunately). So feeling quite happy with...

Exactly! Only a few weeks out of your life, its not much really is it? One day at a time honey... before you know it, it'll be christmas again!!! xx

Nikki I dont drink tea but alot of people like peppermint tea in the hot chocolate too. Its finding variations on a theme thats the trick!!

Jayne love... I just posted a photo on Louloubelle's diary of what 1lb of fat looks like. I think when you olook at it, aside from it being well gross, it makes you realise just how much it is! Be proud of you. You might not have had massive losses (me neither) but you're still doing it and...

Dont be so hard on yourself. 10lb gone since christmas, takes most people 3 months to loose that! I am well jel you have only got a stone to go....

Tweez... you've done 35lb in 4 weeks, amazing x x I went to the dentist friday and had 4 unexpected fillings on the spot... still stopped me thinking about food.... Every cloud, right?? x x Just think 4 more weeks and you'll be over 3 stone down!!

Dear cold weather... I am seriously sick of freezing to death. Dont you know how cold I am already with the lack of proper food??? Try and be a bit more considerate and let the sun in. Plus I cant afford the bloody gas bills. Thank you.

Hi honey I have a shaker (but not a Lipotrim one) I got mine in Asda, from their The Biggest Loser range. It works but I find if you want to make the soup or hot choc or hot vanilla (with coffee in - its really nice) you cant shake it. I do find its much better to use a hand blender as I find...

Oh and by the way, I also just read that a can of beans is 1lb also, drop that on your foot and it doesnt feel like nothing does it!! so on reflection.... well done babe! 1lb is amazing!!! xx

Well heres a pic of 1lb of fat so times that by 70 and you will have an idea. Looking at that it makes me think, I shouldnt feel bad when I have thought 'oh, I only lost 1lb this week... it looks loads here!

Hi hunnie I have recently started too. Started nearly same weight as you and have almost as much to loose. I've set goal at 10 stone 10 but would be overjoyed with 11. You are doing the right thing, I put on 6 stone in my pregnancy 8 yrs ago. Never lost it all, so when i got pregnant again I...

oh hunnie dont worry about it! we all have lapses stop beating yourself up about it... and next time say you have a tummy bug or bad period pains/feel sick or something!! i used to say i had to not eat any wheat products cos I felt bloated & thought i had an allergy to wheat! Try finding foods...

OOOhhh I love that 'pretty woman moment' idea chunkychops ... I'm gonna have me some of them!!!

Hun... have you actually only got 11lb left to go? If so why would you consider giving up? Get back on love! So you fell over a little and feel bad. If you give up you'll feel worse. Imagine how great you'll feel when you've done it. So, it takes a little longer? it doesnt really matter does it...

Ok Lou. I will def have all 3 from now on!:o TBH I didnt intend to miss any, time just ran away from me... never thought i'd say that about missing a meal:o Day 11. Not having a good day. I struggle with weekends anyway. First day in years I have had a day just me and my son on our own. Was...

well done Twink... best result, better than you even hoped! Use this as the motivation to get thru the next week... at that rate a couple more weeks and you might be at goal! Do you think its all the exercise thats given you the big loss this week? If so... keep it up, it clearly is working...

If it was so bad then how come doctors & hospitals prescribe it and have been using it to try & control diabetes for years? At the end of the day, being overweight carries massive health risks and any reduction in weight is worthwhile. The fact is the shakes also contain all the recommended...

Day 10... still no food been eaten at all (Well, in 6 days at least) went to the dentist for a check up at 11am and ended up with 4 fillings (prob due to previous diet coke addiction) so 3 injections and face was numb most of day! finally went about 4pm but had missed lunchtime shake!! Had 2nd...

Thanks love! I dont have any of the bars. Seems alot of people do, but when i watched the video, it said these are part of the maintenance programme or after some weight loss has already happened. Hoping my trousers will be going in a skip soon:D Sure will be fine. You've done really well x x

Days 8 & 9 have been pretty easy tbh! Last night didnt even fancy food or this evening despite cooking dinner for the children. It isnt bothering me and i dont think about it at all. Dreading tomorrow night tho.. best mate is here from Spain and we always get together over a bottle of wine so...

And.... just noticed something... you have lost OVER half your weight!! That means you already lost more than there is left to go x x so what if you celebrate that with a bit of cake? wont hurt! Do some star jumps x x x

Well done... congratulations!!! You must be thrilled. If it was me I'd leave it at 8, that way will seem you lost more next week!!!! Keep it up honey x You are keeping me going too xx

Dee... Years ago I used to do a ton of exercise dvd's every week (mainly cos I couldnt afford to put the heating on!) my weight went down little by little, But one of them came with a chart to track measurements and i used to do that too... waist, hips, thighs, knees, arms, bust. And I lost...

Thanks guys xx Day 7. Well today was ok. Woke up and TOTM had arrived ... on Weigh in day??!!! Seriously??:mad: Ended up having to wear a suit today cos forgot had to go Court (work, not personal BTW!!). Trousers bit big which in turn made them a little too long. So when I got back to the...

Dear people who keep telling me this diet is stupid and I will put double the weight back on and blah blah, unhealthy blah, and cant maintain blah... Well, I've done diet pills, weightwatchers, slimming world, starvation, exercise, slimfast, '11 in 4', various over the counter slimming aids...

Pamdev, Daisy, Deezer and others... Thank you. this is the best forum of all. Love it, and needed a good laugh. Its funny cos I say all these things in my head (and sometimes out loud) EVERYDAY.

OMG... I am soo glad someone said this! Dear Kids, People think I'm wrong cos I dont make you eat all your dinner... and you think I'm mean for not giving you desserts everyday and making you eat 5 a day. You tell me I am cruel making you eat healthy food, rarely allowing McDonalds and...

Hun..just ask the chemist for some Ketostix - they are used to check whether you are in ketosis. Mine gave me a tub when I started. TBH I havent noticed the breath change but know in the 'zone' from the wee check sticks!! And... it showed still in on the next day after a little alcohol related...

You look gorgeous Dee, completely different from the last pic... amazing bone sructure !! Dont think I'll ever feel thin enough to run... thing is when I stop, my bum still carries on moving for like 5 minutes !! ;-( xx

Hun - this probably is to do with insecurity as you say.... more than likely because, (and i know this one well from previous experience) he wont admit it, but in the back of his mind he will be worried if you are doing it so you can meet someone else. Generally men are fairly simple creatures...

As you said to me today Lou, its only a little blip! Look at how much you have achieved, a couple more pounds and you are over halfway there... I bet a few months ago you never thought that was possible, and I bet you'd say to yourself, 'if only I could loose a couple of stone..' well you have...

Thanks love! Checked with the ketosis stick things and that read that I am in ketosis so hope so!! Most my friends know I am doing this but they think (like most people) that if you've been on a diet and you eat 1 tiny thing, you've still eaten lots less calories than you've burnt (this is...

make sure you've got enough shakes til next weigh in this time! i got loads yesterday off a mate who did the diet but gave up after the 1st 2 days cos it made her mental! good luck with the weigh in x x

oh love! i totally know how you feel! was nearly persuaded to go out last night and really struggled not to cos I knew I'd wanna drink. I had to cook my kids dinner and they has pepperoni pizza. I did that cos we were in late today but also cos I'm not keen on it.... however, i could've eaten...

Day 4 did not go well!! Knew would be a struggle but walked into my friends house and got a vodka & diet coke thrust in my hand followed by a plate of food. Was going to get rid of it but there was a birthday 'toast' etc and had to pretend to drink some. pushed the food around and gave some to...

Thanks everyone for your amazing support. Its really appreciated. Louloubellehoney - I dont drink tea at all. I've always been a coffee fanatic and drink at least 5 cups a day, fortunately I have taken it black with 1 sweetener for years so that part isnt a struggle at least! I always wished...

well done! The extra activity will pay off, only if it makes you feel good and energetic. You have started at same weight as me but I am 2 weeks behind you ...so will be watching your diary and hoping I can do as well as you are!! Good on you for not cheating. xx

Thanks guys!! just completed day 3. I know tomorrow will be difficult, its the weekend so will be out and about and the water drinking wont be easy. Got a kids party & mates birthday in the evening. Wish i could avoid it altogether tbh but cant cos promised and the kids are looking forward to...

Hi honey You have done so well. I totally get everything you are saying. Cold & tired for sure and I hate cooking the kids tea. Went to Tesco today and got them pre-made meals to avoid it! at least you have your OH to sit with them. I still have to supervise the 2 yr old. Its been years...

You've lost 5 stone?? you must feel like a different person! I remember when I lost weight years ago, it took me ages to re-train my mind. I'd go into a shop & pick up a size 16 but I had actually gone down to a 10... couldnt get used to it!! Am hoping for the same again this time, although...

Hi Dee It was your diary that I found when I searched Lipotrim on the web... yours and Electric Lilac and you were both SOOOO inspirational to me. Inspired me to go start this diet on tuesday and you have given me the motivation and determination to see it through. I can see so many others...

Yes doll, you can drink sparkling water but not flavoured or tonic water. Congratulations on your loss so far... if I do half as well as you I will be very happy!! Well done & dont give in to the pressure, you have no-one else to answer to but yourself!

I cant believe youre nearly halfway in 4 months...despite your little lapse. Your diary is a real inspiration to me. I am also finding the things you mention a struggle... like doing the packed lunches for the kids and cooking their dinner every night, the temptation is ALMOST too much but then...

Good tip;) gotta get used to it! Think will miss alcohol more than food... especially as I only re-started my social life in may after being shut away for 3 years. The only thing with this is you cant reward yourself with something you love after each weeks loss. Saying that, wearing smaller...

WOW! you've lost 30lb in 3 weeks?? what a huge motivation for you. Its also a huge motivation for me! Having only started LT on tuesday, first couple days been fine cos at work but off today and think weekend may be a struggle without even a glass of wine to cheer me up. Well done. I am...

I have decided after dieting and battling with my weight all my life, that this time I'm going to win! I remember going on my first diet at about 9 or 10. I was chunky all through school and hated it. I lost some in my early 20's. It changed my life but was so hard to maintain. I felt...
