Feeling good today - have been to the gym 4 times this week, including doing the first day of c25k on the treadmill - I can't actually believe it!! Hope my speeds are ok but it's a bit of a guessing game! I'm really enjoying going hard on the exercise but am feeling a bit lethargic. It's hard...

Hiya, I'm hoping I can get a bit of advice. I am a complete novice to exercise and joined a gym last week. You have a few free sessions with a trainer and on Monday we did cardio, which was hard, but I felt fine. On wednesday we did resistance, lots of arm work using 3kg weights, and I really...

Mac cheese with prawns leeks and broccoli xx

Hiya I am doing a weird mix, 1 lipotrim shake (like one pack) and two packs plus protein and veg. I have really stepped up my exercise so thought the protein would help :) Well done on making a start this journey is hard but with amazing results xx

Thanks everyone :) I need pictures as can never see a difference in real life!! Xxx

Thanks lady :) will post a full body one when I get to the 14's and a bit more confident! X

Hi Hunni! How are you doing?xxx

I'm no doctor but hope you feel better soon! You might have a tummy bug :( just keep your fluids up Hun xxx

Amazing loss well done!! Especially with so little to loose! You will be at goal in no time xxx

Hi hun I don't know tue details of the case but went through a similar thing with a family member and life is so much better afterwards. Even when you know it is lies, you can't relax and it's so tough. Enjoy your celebration xxx

Hi Sonia I just want to day your pictures are amazing, you are already gorgeous lady! Hope things are going ok for you today xxx

Hi Hun I've been catching up on your diary, I too was an LT'er and s&s is like a holiday!! It sounds like you are doing really well, well done on your loss xxx

Feel better soon Hun. At least the diet is good - think 13's xxx

Hi everyone :) I'm still loving the S&S products. Will need to place another order soon as they are winning against the remaining LT shakes! I went to the gym again today and was given the strength part of my workout. Oh my god, I am so weak! My arms were useless! The trainer was lovely, and I...

Chilli Wraps with lettuce and cucumber! Yummy and not too messy xx

First S&S weigh in done and -3.5lbs....i'm very pleased as for the first time EVER since being an adult i'm in the 15's :):):) soooo pleased! I'm only half a pound in there but still taking it!! I really fancied the cottage pie for brunch today, so enjoyed that. I'm going to make mac cheese...

Original spag bol and salad xx

Hey skinny!!!! You are dropping like mad right now!! Slim summer here we come!xxx

Oh no!! I'm on the isle of Wight and it's gorgeous today! Xxx

Just catching up with your diary and I had to stop and say OH MY GOD at your progress pictures! You must have heard it a thousand times, but you are truly inspirational! Thanks for posting such an honest diary xxx

Haha I haven't met anyone from LT who doesnt think this is amazing!! You have done great as well :) I will do my best with the weighing ... Can only try eh ;) Hope you enjoy the sunshine xxx

Thanks Hun, I agree about it feeling more achieveable. Bring on the slim summer!! Xxx

That's great advice, thank you. I am going to try and be strong and after today not weigh in until April 1st so that should settle any interim ups and downs :) xxx

I know Hun, but i have to say my motivation is 100% stronger with S&S! Still very grateful to LT for retraining my brain and still enjoying my remaining shakes for Brekkie xx

Literally just started one! Can't believe how much of a treat these products are after LT! And they obviously work judging by your loss this week. Sooooo want to be in the 14's!! Xx

Morning!! So I am starting my new S&S diary, having been on LT 100% for 6 weeks. I will update my stats etc when I can get on a comp. I am 28 and been overweight since i was about 12. I was 19.6 in October then got to 17.13 with healthy eating and currently weigh 16.3. I have really enjoyed...

Weirdly enough I found my second week harder than the first, and the only thing you can do is to fight through it. It is your mind making you think you are hungry, try and down loads of water and focus on why you are doing this. You can do it xx

Sooo as part if my transition from LT to S&S I've been having some of the products on offer. As posted before I found the cottage pie delicious! Tried the spag Bol (original) and really enjoyed that. I was worried about it being spicy as I am usually very intolerant to that, but it was just...

I'm 28 and still do that now :) x

It was the cottage pie and it's delicious! After LT TFR for 6weeks it's like a taste sensation! Going to add some broccoli and cauliflower next time. It has the taste f a soup for me, but a great filling consistency. I made with 130 water as like things a bit stodgier!! Having Mac cheese...

Hi hun I'm also going to make the transition over to S&S after 6 weeks 100% on LT, I can see exactly where food was filling the wrong holes in my life and have battled the psychological side of it and i'm just ready for a bit of variety. Placed my order for just meals this morning so I can use...

Thanks for the advice, I will grab some from boots today. I am planning on having: 2 LT shakes and one S&S meal with veg and 1 LT shake and one S&S meal with veg and protein I am planning on doing this for alternate days for the two weeks until my LT runs out....hopefully this...

Day 37 So I have been seeing the great results people on S&s are having and I feel like now I have battled my foodie demons I see no point in having three shakes a day when I can have a bit more flavour. I am going to use up my LT shakes over the next two weeks then move over to S&S fully to...

I might just take some multi vitamins for the couple of crossover weeks, hopefully that will help :) xx

Hiya!! I have been on Lipotrim 100% for 6 weeks and have a loss of 24lbs which I am REALLY happy about, however three cold shakes a day is getting a little tedious!! I have had some great advice from Deezer, and am thinking of finishing up my LT shakes for brekkie and lunch and having a...

I'm craving tuna steak with veg! And prawns! And smoked haddock! Weird I wasn't even a massive fish fan!!

Day 36! Been at a meeting all morning followed by a really posh lunch - the food smelt lovely but I didn't go near it! I am really getting to the point where I want to start eating healthily so I can exercise heavily but I know I need to lose more weight first. Only another couple of months...

Thanks so much for the advice will try that tomorrow xx

Yayyy so pleased for you xxx

And VERY happy to record a 5lb loss. Wooooooooooooooooop :bliss::party0049: Good luck to everyone else weighing in xxxxxxxxxx

Hiya You seem to be doing really good, well done! I can't believe you are going to that sleepover, I guess you can re-name it the church pizza, pudding and lipotrim sleepover :p xx

Hi I am very new to exercise and have started walking in my lunch hour. I am currently very unfit. We have some uneven terrain very close by which is ideal. I was wondering what the best way is to optimise my walking time. Are there any technique tips, should I alter the speed, how out of...

Thanks hun, feeling goooooooood! xxx

Day 35 5th weigh in done and another 5lbs gone! Upping the exercise and coming off of the pill seems to be working for me! I'm now so focused on getting 4lb off by next week so I am in the 15's. I may actually cry when that happens! It's weird to think in October I was 19'6 and went down to...

So going to do this!! xx

Dear boyfriend I know you care, but trying to encourage me to stop LT a month before i had planned to would mean me letting myself down and that's just not an option anymore! X

Hey Peach!! Was hoping to nag you for a little advice! I use our local pool for lane swimming and am nothing special, I just plod along and do about 30 lengths in half an hour but I want to take it up a notch. Problem is the pool has just closed and the nearest one is half hour drive away. I do...

Men can be evil :( There are some good ones, but those that find it a game to get in your head need serious help! Hope you are back on the ball now hun, put the bad days behind you xxx

Hi hun It sounds like you have it sussed! We can never plan how long this will work, both mentally and physically so the most sensible thing (i think) is to listen to yourself and follow whichever plan will lead to successful and sustainable weightloss because at the end of the day, that is...

Thanks hun, feel really proud I walked at a good pace for 45 minutes and got a bit breathless (in a good way)! It's a great feeling when it is done! Did you have a nice walk? xx

Day 34 Back at work after a lovely weekend....work is so manic and stressful I just want to be out on a nice walk when it's bright outside! Got my 5th WI tomorrow and have 8.5lbs to get into the 15's do im hoping for that over the next 3 weeks. I am wearing my trousers to work that I wore...

Well done thats amazing!!!! xx

You ok hunny? Xxxx

Hi, just thought I'd write as you seem to have rubbish periods too. Mine have always been heavy, but regular (i have endo) but since starting LT I have bled everyday...do you know how it affects our cycles?xx

Day 31 Still going strong - have decided to come off of my pill (the mini pill) has apart from two days I have bled for the last 4 weeks and I cant take it anymore. I can only assume it is my pill mixing with some sort of LT induced hormone and it is ruining me! I really hope this works! I...

Hiya hun hope you are feeling good and that evil 2lbs is a thing of the past. I guess thats the thing with this weight game, up and down!! As long as there are more lows than highs (how backwards is that!) then you'll be fine!! Much love xxxx

Thanks lady! I also think it helps to have an end date - I know that when we get there we will have a sense of pride, instead of a sense of disappointment if we come off plan mis-guidedly. Whenever I think about how much time is left, I just imagine myself on my end date, and the weight I will...

Whilst it is nice to offer advice, criticising a diet that someone is passionate about starting, on a forum dedicated to that diet in which she has posted on for support seems a little counter-productive. How ever someone chooses to lose weight to get healthy is personal, and should only be...

Hi Hun, ive only got a minute but just wanted to post and say that I relate to most of that, especially the relationship stuff. I was the same as you 4 weeks ago, and I'm now 19.5lbs down and so confident I can do it. This is so hard, and mindf***ing, and you will be tempted and feel like giving...

Day 30! Soooo I have an end date for my 100% TFR due to a holiday i've booked for June! I plan to eat sensibly when i'm away but have no intention of staying TFR as I want to enjoy the foreign cuisine! This is the first time i've set myself an end date which is weird! My last WI will be...

Hey doc! Thanks for the great advice! I will try this as really want to go naturally instead of getting 'assistance' I really don't trust taking anything to make me go now! Its really funny to think of adults needing toilet training, but its true! I for one wasn't going in the optimum...

Thanks for your advice hun, really helpful. xx

Hello! I've been on LT for four weeks and want to lose another 3 stone before coming off. I have to go on holiday on 6th June so want to re-feed before then. How much time should I leave before departing to start my re-feed? I'd like to stay on TFR 100% for as long as possible xx

Day 29 So yesterday things in the toilet area weren't moving so decided to take 1 ducolax. Took about 8pm and went to bed at 11. Was up at 1.30am in the worst pain I have ever felt, it was horrific, and I normally have a half decent pain threshold! The stomach cramps were so bad, I was...

Haha thanks DrAli and DrLou! I have taken it on board and will ensure I take it as directed!! I'm doing well so far today so just going to keep sinking it like its wine! xx

Dont worry about the maths - I train people to L2 numeracy and with a little work even people who really struggled before can do it. Just a few little tricks and it all makes sense, honest!! xx

Hi hun, well done for biting the bullet and using this time to make the best of yourself. Life really does throw some s**t at us sometimes but if you can get yourself to a happy and healthy state at least thats one less thing to worry about. Feel free to chat at any time, you can do this xx

Is there no way you can use it up before you start exante? Either that or keep it stored in case you want to try it again. Just be wary of the use by date xx

Anyone have any idea?xx

Day 28 Week 4 weigh in done and 4.5lbs off :) Very pleased. I am now officially the lowest weight I have been in my adult life! I now see it as a maximum of three more weeks until I am in the 15's. Sooooo pleased! xx

Well done lady! Thats brilliant for week 8! xx

Honk! Day 27 xx

Well done lady that's amazing! Hope youre feeling super motivated!! Have you got a diary on here, I really like your posts!! Xx

Ive only just seen this, but well done on getting through it. That has to be one of the hardest jobs for a dieter! Xx

*not at all jealous* :-p

Thanks Hun, I've upped the water and sinking all three shakes, I will win! Hot bubble bath and homelands awaits!! Xx

I know how you feel Jayne this is bloody tough some times! I have my WI tomorrow as well, I'll be wishing you luck xx

The link wouldn't work for me :( probs because I use a phone not comp. Ahh well bet you look GOrGEOuS to go with your lovely personality :) hope your getting on ok today xxxx

Good luck chick, fresh start fresh losses! Hope the s&s stuff is yummy! Xx

Hiya!! I'm pretty new to this aswell, have avoided all alcohol since starting as lipotrim is hard, there is no denying it. And I want this journey over with as soon as poss! Dusty is right, think of all the things you will do as a slim, healthy person. I'll race you to 13 stone!! (not my goal...

Thanks lovely, that is really encouraging...to be honest I dont think im drinking enough water (my own fault) and i've been so busy that i've had about 5 hours sleep per night, then working 42 hours a week YAWN. But I shall pull through - I have no other choice. Glad to see you are back on it...

Day 27! Well only one day until I can strike off my 'make a month 100%' goal. If someone had told me, even five weeks ago that I would go without food for a month, I would've laughed them out the room. I can't believe i've stuck to this. Through times of birthdays, and cooking, and lunches I...

Oh him that's awful you are low :-( you know you'll get back on track when the time is right. Hope TOTM sorts itself out xx

Hiya Hun are you still about xxx

Well done on doing the C25K! I am really wanting to start this but a bit nervous at my weight, and being on LT! How did you find it?xx

Day 25 Well I'm still 100% and that's the first thing i want to think about! Still having tough days but that's mainly because i am feeling a bit weak, and because i am so busy I do feel tired a lot more easily! I think I can cope with cravings, I haven't caved up until now and have no...

Thanks dusty, I really needed that! Xx

Ahh bless you! I have tried to find out if it is just leaf but having no luck. Im out of green tea and my colleague only has the black tea stuff! Thanks anyway hun xx

I'm feeling really hungry today :( have a headache and tummy is rumbling :( Still in ketosis and had loads of water. This is horrible :cry:

Hi Does anyone know if I can have this? xx

You don't sound like you've had a lot of luck these last few weeks, just enjoy your hol and think of mon as a brand new start. You'll be melting away the weight in no time xx

Hiya, Welcome to the forum. Everyone is really helpful, if like me you have loads of questions! The best thing about LT is if you stick to it, the weight will just drop off! Good luck xx

Quote TWITTER2012 for extra 5% off xx

I know what its like in the evening, they are just a hassle to make! I will force myself to have all three! xx

Hope your package comes today hun, I hadn't ever heard of slim and save but it looks good. Weirdly enough it was only when I was reading through the C25K thread on this forum that I had seen your signature and seen the 5 stone loss on LT - and thats when I started looking into it and now i'm...

Thanks hun, I have always been the type of person to plan everything and do nothing! I understand that I need to be realistic. I love your attitude with regards to blips - you just move on. That is how life is going to be, lots of ups and downs! Just got to ride it!! Have a healthy and...

Hope you are feeling a bit better :( I have had a terrible time with TOTM since starting LT, i've been on for most of the three weeks :( Hoping it stops! Apparently it can mess with your hormones, but i'm willing to put up with it! Try and stay warm and watch some trashy TV! xx

Day ummm 23?! I have started to get really excited about losing weight. Me and o/h are planning a trip in a few months, which gives me march, april and may on LT with 2 weeks re-feed before going. I WILL be 13'7 at this point! Really struggling to make time for exercise :( Have decided to...

Thanks a lot chick, hope you are doing ok xx

Thank you, it is this constant encouragement that keeps me going - as well as some willpower that turned up one morning and hasn't left since! Really glad to see in another thread that you have set an end goal :-) It's hard when you have a lot to lose. I lost 2 stone healthy eating before...

Thanks huni, really tried to stay positive and didn't turn to the evil stuff so it's all good! Hope you are having a nice morning xxx

Day 22 Feeling ok diet wise - a close friend at work has just been made redundant which has put me in a really sad mood :( Just going to keep on keeping on! Hope everyone is having a good day.

well done sinead xxx

Yay I can't wait for summer now! With regards to the skin, I just use body shop body butter at the moment, as I can't afford anything too fancy! I think there is a clarins one that some people use which may help with firming. I have resigned myself to the fact that I will have some loose skin...

Honk day 21!!

You are doing really well hun, you should be proud. I get really excited before my weigh in, which proves how important this is! Once this week is over your time will fly by! Have you set an amount of time you are looking to do this for? xx

Hiya Bev, That's very creative!! I have tried the mousse, with the strawberry but it tasted so sickly - I don't think I did it right! If there could be anything with a biscuit-like consistency I would be up for it! Hope it tastes good tomorrow hun! xxx

What a stunner!!! Oh my god! What weight were you in the middle pic? You look gorgeous in all three-but your figure now is enviable! xxx

That is unbelieveable! I've been reading a lot of your posts and have meant to comment sooner. I love the fact you are embracing the mental aspect of LT and your determination is shining through. Your results are amazing!! xxx

Hiya! A diary is a fab way of getting things off of your chest. This diet does play havoc with your mind and your will, so sometimes it helps just to vent. I know everyone says it, but those first few days really are difficult, and at about day 5 I felt awful. I don't think I went into...

Thanks, thats really nice - this diet is great! xx

Weigh in 2 down :) TracyAnne...........32lb to lose......0lb lost.....32lb to go Dusty67..............21lb to lose.......0lb lost.....21lb to go Tweeza...............30lbs to lose.....5lb lost.... 25lb to go First timer............20lbs to lose.....0lb lost.....20lb to go Brien77...

Weigh in over and another 3lbs lost, and I am really pleased. 15lbs in 3 weeks is good enough for me! I'm now into the 16's and feeling really positive. It may be unrealistic but i REALLY want to lose 5lbs this week, so I am committed to: 3ltrs of water per day Toning exercises for half...

Good luck Hun xxx

Weigh in - in 3 hours. Scared!! X

Hi All I have read a few things about this product and am terrified! I have had a problem for about 3 days and went to pick up something and ducolax was the only thing I remembered from the forum! It is just the standard pills. Can anyone advise the best time to take one? I have never used...

well done! I also lost 8lbs week one - great motivation! x

Day 20 Another 100% weekend under my belt and feeling good. Looking forward to WI tomorrow!! Starting on my regular exercise regieme tonight. Just going to do the 'arms' and 'legs and core' section of a davina DVD. I plan to do this every other day with the boxing section in between. I'm...

So motivational lady! Xx

Hi Sammie Just wanted to say hi, I started at 17'13 and I'm currently 17'1 with my third weigh in on tues. It's so tough, more mentally than anything, but stick with it, it really works. I think to myself I'll definitely be in the 14,s after just twelve weeks and that spurs me on xx

Hiya :) I lost 3 stone with heathy eating (yo-yoed) and have another 6.5 to go after losing my first 12lbs on LT xxx

Hiya I'm an Amy too :) we have a similar amount to lose and I just started a couple of weeks ago so it would be good to share the journey! You seem to be doing really well, you'll be so chuffed come first weigh in xx

Day 19! Still feeling motivated. Slacked a bit on my water for a couple of days but had enough yesterday and determined to sink 4 pints today. Does anyone know how much it will affect my loss if I only drank half the recommended water two days this week? Also TOTM has returned. Second this...

Wow Birmingham-how cool, ive only been there a couple of times to go to gigs, but it seems like a fun place to live, especially if your a student. I went to uni in Southampton so miles away lol! My dream job would be a scriptwriter but still chasing the dream whilst doing a boring 9-5!! hope...

Yep, you have spotting for the first month but after that I had nothing for 5 months, until I started LT and had TOTM for 9 days. Back to normal now though :) I'm going to stick with this instead of the other pill as I put weight on with that when I was younger. Funny you should have the...

Hiya I am on the pill and could only be prescribed the mini pill because of my weight. I take cerazette which mucks up your cycle for the first couple of months but thereafter you don't have a period. You take it everyday and have a 12 hour window. It's great having no periods and I've had no...

Hehe I might be mad doing all of the cooking but it my way of preparing healthy food and looking forward to it...haven't succumbed yet so hopefully It's working :) Business management sounds cool, I did Media Writing, but my dream job is still but a dream! Where abouts are you studying? This...

Its amazing you've stayed TFR with the added pressures, it really proves how strong you are! Its just a few weeks of hard work!! what are you studying at uni? I'm thinking of having either a facial or hot oil scalp massage....I really like spa treatments and it's a good non-food related...

It's going really well - I can feel it toning which is the most important thing. I really want to start the C25K but not sure if that's a good idea whilst on LT? Just want to get this all over quickly lol!! Have decided to treat myself to a spa treatment after month one so that is keeping me...

Hello :) I am looking at buying a dress as a reward for my first real goal (13'13) this is the weight at which I will come off of LT. Can anyone give any advice re-clothes size at this weight as I've not been that weight for many years! I understand the variables, it would just help to have...

Thanks lady! Xx

Knew you could do it Hun well done! Are you pleased?xx

Day 17 Feeling good and motivated! That is all!! X

Thanks dusty, I'm really glad you are feeling empowered - it's a great feeling! Imagine actually looking forward to summer clothes xx

Day 16 OH is poorly so been off work with him today, watching him eat rubbish "so he feels better" lol!! Been a bit (massively) lazy with exercise this week. Going to make a conscious effort to get back on that! Been looking at clothes to keep me inspired for the summer, have found a...

You will do no worries!! Xxx

Sounds like a great regime Hun, bread is the devil!! Xxx

Castle - goblin king (my first love lol) xx

Love this xxx

Stick to it Hun, many don't make it past the first week but if you do you will then find it so much easier and each week the weightless will keep you going. You are doing really well just try really hard to keep your goals in mind as you will find it hard over the next few days, nut you will...

That's brill Hun xx

It sucks but I think once you have had a really bad relationship with food, it will take a lifetime of hard work to try and combat it :( I've finally got to the point where I'd rather be slim and work hard than give in and be unhappy. You are doing so well, I can't believe the difference in...

I'm thinking the whole losing weight / maintaining weight is psychological warfare. Me vs Me! Glad you got in some good exercise and you are feeling good xx

Well done hun thats amazing - especially as you don't have a lot to lose! xx

Hi I also have 7 stone to lose and worry about this - from the advice I have seen the best thing to do is drink your recommended water and do toning exercises to improve the look of the skin. I have seen people mention firming creams but not sure if these work ... to be honest I will...

Hiya Chick You still going strong? xxx

Day 15 Weird, I can't believe I'm into my third week already. I had a shaky moment yesterday when I was making some valentines cookies and a steak dinner for my boyfriend, and I really thought that if I was to come off LT I could cope now, I feel like mentally I have understood where I was...

Thanks xx

4lbs down - very pleased! xx

I agree with you - thinking week by week is the only way to get through this. I keep thinking that i've gotten myself into this mess over many years so I need a few months of work to rectify it. xx

Did you pack your scales? Lol! Have a great time! xx

well done xx

Well done! Our first weeks are matching! xx

Day 14 Weigh in day today :eek: Going to nip to the pharmacy in my lunch break and see what's what! Hoping for a loss but feeling a bit (tmi) bloated and bunged up so will see what happens! Also my phantom TOTM is still lingering! On the plus got some gorgeous valentines gifts and feeling...

Have those of you that have bled in week 2 found it stops? x

Hello! I really need some advice, I normally take cerazette (2 pills because of my weight) and never have a period. Since starting LT i've had a full on period for 9 days - it won't stop! I've emailed LT and had no response...has anyone had a similar experience as this is hell!

Hi! I'd also love 2 stone off by then. Watch_her_fly......28lbs to lose......0lbs lost.......28 to go

Honk for day 12 xx

Good thanks, day 12 now and 100% so feeling positive. Hope you get the result you want xx

You lose a minimum of a stone a month, however it can be significantly more if you have a lot to lose. Def get advice :) it's great!!

Dead-spirit

God thats great doing it at uni, I don't know if I could have done it then, but I wasn't focused enough!! You will really be pleased to tackled it now, I'm 28 now and wish I had done it earlier! My fam and friends have been good - they don't understand it but support it which is good. I think...

Good luck for tomorrow hun xx

I'm sure your week will fly by Hun :) don't worry!! I love the fact we look forward to weigh ins, knowing we can't have gone wrong if we have been 100%! have you told many people you are doing this? Hope you've got some good support xxxx

Dog - walking

Hiya!! Welcome to the forum :) Lipotrim is fab for losing weight quickly, whilst effectively managing your vitamins and nutrients, so as long as you have your allocated shakes and drink the recommend amount of water, you will lose weight fast and safely. I'm only on day 12 and it's already...

Thanks Lou, getting there! I hope you're ok xxx

Glad it's gone quickly Hun!! I'm planning on 12 weeks to start with, but yeah it's definitely getting more bearable, I'm not expecting to eat each day anymore, i am so de-sensitised haha! really hope we get a good number this week xxx

Days 10, 11, 12 The past few days have been good, have been around family colleagues and friends now without slipping so feeling pretty good about that. Been around food a lot as well, the boyfriend is well chuffed as I'm cooking the freshest, most gorgeous things lol, I don't know what's wrong...

Hiya Hun, glad your still going strong, second WI tues, can't wait! How many weeks are you planning on doing? Hope you're weekend has been good, I've been sooooo lazy having a film day today :) xxxx

Hiya I'm on day 11, have been 100% and feel fine, apart from I could taste blood earlier and there was a little when I coughed. Would this be to do with LT? I've never has this happen before xx

Spiders - scary!!

Hi there I was in your position this time last week and believe me it was so hard to pull through. Make a list of reasons why you are doing this, imagine scenarios where you are slimmer and happier. This isn't forever and I promise it does get easier. Just push through it and in a couple of...

How do you make the mousse chick? Xx

I was the same today!! Just think to goal and that should see you through. Everytime I want go eat I keep thinking of how I'll feel afterwards and my sense seems to keep winning :) Hope the night goes ok xxx

Oh hun, i really feel for you - he sounds like a complete bugger. Have you been together long? It might be best to cut your losses and use this time to focus on yourself. xx

Hi Lou Hope you are doing ok hun, I really understand how hard it is to break the addiction with food, it's weird how we let it fill every possible gap, to the point without it things seem empty! I've put a note on my fridge (which is full of OH's yummys) to remind me (in not so friendly...

Yeah, I've been trying to decide between pilates and yoga, but pilates wins for me as it's more about core strength which I need!! I've researched a bit and the 10 minute pilates series looks good - there are loads for specific things and great if you haven't got a lot of time xx

Good luck with the inspection! And I ditto the breath strips! xx

It's great you've mad a diary :) Sounds like a lush day you've had - nothing beats some magazines - I tend to read them whilst in a bubble bath! Lovely! Also elemis facials are so lovely:jelous:, I can't wait until i'm a bit more body confident as i'll spend most of my wages at the spa...

Thanks you lovely people xx

Well done thats brilliant xx

Well done thats brilliant xx

Or maybe try and find some other rewards that you like, that are non food related? You are doing so well, it's not worth letting food get in the way xx

Hi I think if you are looking for a diet where eating is allowed then maybe this isnt for you, as Lipotrim isn't designed for that. It is a very strict plan that works through ketosis, which you will have to keep going into if you eat a meal - meaning more headaches, tiredness etc. You...

Thanks hun, I'm really feeling good. Have a bit more energy now so going to up the exercise a bit...thinking of ordering a pilates dvd to get a bit of core strength!! About to have my second shake and am so motivated to carry on!! Hope your day is also going well and that you are feeling...

Hi Can anyone recommend any good workout dvds? I currently do the Davina Body Buff one, and looking for another for when it's too freezing to exercise outside! Please bear in mind, I am VERY unfit lol! xx

Well done thats great. What a lovely boost for us both xxx

8lbs off. Well chuffed xx

First Weigh In.. And 8lbs gone :) Really really pleased! I can't believe I've stuck to this. I'm so in this for the long game! Lots of love to everyone xx

Keep positive Hun xx

Road - rage

Day 7 Morninggggggg! Weigh in day :) Going to do the "legs and core" section of the body buff DVD, grab a vanilla shake, grab a shower and get to weigh in! I don't start work until 11 today so have a couple of hours at home, half hour drive to the pharmacy then half hour drive to work...

Well done for giving yourself a good talking too, and good luck for the rest of the week xx

Water is the key. As Lou said when we detox from carbs and caffeine it really produces awful headaches. It lasted me until about day 3. Just drink as much as you can and it will honestly pass :)

Hiya :) Well this week has really been a rollercoaster, have not been tempted to cheat at all but temptation is still there. I think that by cooking dinners I am just trying to stay in touch will food, as don't want to fear it when I come off :) Now....the soups! I had it for tea the first...

Champagne - Strawberries

Thats some great positivity! Hope you are getting on well today - just think...wedding wedding wedding! I have to meet my new BF's friends from back home in June and just keep thinking, how will I feel on that day if I still look like this!! We can do it x

Christ you are exercise mad! :p If you don't mind me asking, do you find that exercise has heled with loose skin? I have 7 stone to loose and plan on keeping active and really want to minimise the whole lose skin thing! xx

Just been to Argos to grab some 2kg dumbells (feeble I know but its a start) to go with the body buff DVD. Suddenly have loads of energy so i'm gonna get toning! *wishing away the hours so weigh in was here* HURRY UP TOMORROW. Hope everyone else is doing well today xx

Day 6. Woke up feeling a lot brighter today, no head ache or hangover-esque feeling! Still don't know if i'm in Ketosis - no funny taste, but hunger pains have been gone for a few days (stomach still rumbles slightly) and i'm feeling like I have more energy. Have been 100% so hopefully...

Gorgeous lady!! Xx

Needed --- Haircut!

I'd definitely recommend speaking to your pharmacist and explaining what happened, it's really not good to pass out and you need to make sure that LT is right for you. Better safe than sorry Hun xx

Dear me Im not sure you are being entirely honest when you try to make out one slice of toast won't make a difference! Stop making me fight you! Thanks! :)

Ahhh its so tough when you move out! Glad the freecycle offers are rolling in. Hope you have a lovely day hun xx

Oh Hun things things are bound to happen, at least you've put in a lot of hard work already so this will seem insignificant in the long run. Bloody well done with the scones. I keep taking a moment when I'm cooking for OH to think I want to eat that, but then I force myself to think of why I'm...

Thanks Lou....we only ended up with half an hour of snow down here so it was a very chilly and wet walk instead! Was really good but noted the massive lack of energy I had! Oh well, more determined than ever! Hope you are having a lovely day and that your son is all moved in ok xx

Thank you ... My eyes are truly open now, I have a lovely new man and the strength from within myself to do this. God LT REALLY makes you think. I love it! Xx

Thats so funny but scary at the same time! Hope those sarnies are leaving you well alone now !! Xx

I had the same on my first night, just our subconscious playing tricks, the mean thing! At least when you wake up it's not real that's all that matters xx

Day 5. Yesterday survived a birthday lunch with just my soup. The things there looked nice but I wasn't tempted. Woke up feeling ok, had a glass of water and getting ready to go for a walk with the bf. Got some new walking boots to try (lol get me). Feeling ok today, tummy still rumbles a...

Honk to day 4!! X

Also ready to start day 5 tomorrow :) xx

Dear size 8 colleague. Thanks for snidely telling 17 stone me that LT is dangerous and won't work long term and that I don't need to loose weight anyway. Take your tiny shorts, skyscraper heels and uneducated opinion somewhere far away and keep em there!!

Dear you. Thanks for breaking me, time and time again. Thanks for controlling my mind and body to the point where I didn't recognise myself or my place in the world. Thanks for telling me you'd marry me if I was thinner, that I was lucky you put up with me, that I was a fat ugly *****. And...

You're right to be fuming, men can be so inconsiderate! Always at the worst times!! Hope you manage to focus the thoughts on happy, healthy, future ones about you xx

Sounds like you've bred a gooden! xx

Hi Krys, life throws alot of **** at us, but we are resilient and Im sure whatever's going on you can find a way to resolve. Xx

Amazing! Its all worth it! Xx

Oh my god! Your son sounds like a nice lad if he takes care of her! Bless you still doing his washing! My mum still try's to take care of me and I'm 28 :) Glad you got home safe, I live in the south and only had about 30 minutes of it! Was banking on Monday off of work! Xx

Ahh how nice they are moving in together. I moved in with my fella last month and its been great! Hopefully she will take good care of him and he won't be coming back with his washing :-p xx

Well done that's amazing!! Hope you feel better soon xx

Have you got snow? We've even got it down on our little island!! Brrrrr!! Nice to have a hot Choc to look forward to later!! Xx

Thank you, I've just got to forget the now and look to tomorrow!! This is where the old me would give up! *I can do this*. Xx

Struggling today :-( I blame the weather. Trying to keep going though xx

Day 4. Woke up feeling like I have a hangover. Just want to stay in bed but going to o/h's mums for her birthday lunch. Luckily I look and feel so rough they won't expect me to eat! On the plus side, still 100% and I have no intention of changing that! Still dont know if I'm in ketosis. Boots...

Thanks Ali l, glad I'm not the only one still having to cook! And it's good your making healthier things, great prep for when you come off of your vlcd xx

Hi Jo I'm just finishing day 3 - it's tough but so worth it! Welcome to the forum, the folks here are lovely xx

And i am sure you'll come out of it even stronger! Its amazing how much this makes you realise you have some control, from your diary this sounds like it's been an amazing change for you xxx

Love the PMA !! Xx

Oh hun I hope you feel better soon. It's so hard, there's no other way to describe it, but you keep getting through each day. Each cold, grumpy day will be nothing when we hit goal xx

That's so amazing!! I hope you are feeling really proud and strong! Xx

That's great! If you dont mind me asking, What is your starting weight (can't see stats of signatures on my phone) I'm coming up to first weigh in next week and interested in stats xx

Amazing well done! Xx

I know how you feel. This is the hardest thing to do when you've been the other way for years. But stay focused and stay 100%! hopefully next week we will be posting great results xx

Well fine that's great!! Xx

OH said he wanted something nice for tea (I cook he washes up). Decided to cook him my fave, involves loads of prep and fresh things. I'm not tempted (though it's still hard). I feel strong and that feels good. I really believe in myself, and that's weird! Don't know if I'm coping or crazy!
