Hello all, it's been a while, I know there are several threads on this but I could do with some advice as I can't make up my mind what to do. I signed up with a local hypnotherapist for the gastric band hypno, I've had my first treatment Last week where he asked me to bring 8 items of food I...

In a word YES! I'm in the same boat, except I am 4 weeks away from a holiday AND 2 weeks to my birthday but frankly I look and feel like a whale!! I'm I going to do the best I can, that's all I can promise...come join me x

Good news...5 days back on the shakes and at my Friday weigh in I was back at target weight. I've been away with work and I managed to have 2 shakes a day but a evening meal over the week end and I weigh in on target again today. I know this is not everyones idea of maintenance but it is...

Sorry I'm late, I've been away with work. Kate - Bloody fanatastic...I hear those size 14s calling. Well done xxx I have maintained...which was my plan so I am living at the week-end and being good through the week. That's hope thats the way forward. Well done Friday loser people xx

Let's have a party when that happens...well done you xx

Hi...no to re-feed at the moment as I am on 3 shakes, but I intend next week to do the 2 shakes and a meal....a kind of re-feed.

Beckie - You have to post so many times before the board allow you xx

Hello all Thought I would write down my first few weeks on maintenance as it saves me talking to myself! I am doing this my way which does not mean it’s the correct, but I am hoping it works for me. I have swapped to slim and Save purely because 1) bigger variety 2) did not like flavors of...

I was soooo cold in the first 3 weeks I ended buying so much new knitwear, however I kind of loved it as I am of that age when hot flushes are driving me crazy...being cold was new to me:D Drink your shakes hot, that will help xx

Sorry I am late....well done you sexy Monday losers. I forgot how pretty you all look xx:D

In a word YES! We are the same height (give or take 1/2 an inch) and I set mygoal as 10 2lb - 10 7lb. Without going through that whole exercise thing again,I am happily sat here in size 10 trousers. I am a 10/12 depending on store andcut and I am a happy bunny. Losing weight is the easy...

Thank you, much appreciated...I've been really naughty tonight...tell you tomorrow xx

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving Col...what a guy! HOWEVER - Kate...loving you more! Fantastic, well done....so proud! x

I will start the ball rolling, final weigh in and.......4lb! 2 stone 2 lb lost! Feel wonderful. I am having a week-end of 'falling off the wagon' without re-feeding BUT I will start a diary to detail how that one goes. Cheers for all your help people, good luck to my fellow Friday skinny chicks xx

Sorry I'm late...but well done you Wednesday losers xx

I'm good, waiting for my last weigh in and then starting my 'social maintenance experiment' and of-course I am looking forward to falling off the wagon at week-end, but that's another tale. The way you are going 12/14s will be in order for Christmas - how fab would that be xx

Kate - I keep saying...but it's all about the clothes. Well done on your new size 16, however I hope it was not too expensive as you will need a 14 shortly xx Mburke - Well done you. I am sat here in a face mask...not pretty but cant move the face which helps in the non eating, hehe xx

Mrs R...you are a star, 3.5lb is fantastic. You my lovely are the biggest asset this forum has. Large glass of the sparkling for you...with 2 ice cubes (I am feeling generous!). Thank you for your kind words, nice of you to say xx Noitulove - Amazing to still lose after all these weeks and with...

Hi Goose Just to mention the exercise bit (rather than hijack the losers thread). It's the exercise that determines size, I am 44 and I've said in another post Ilost 8.5 stone when I left university 20 years ago (I was 18 stone!) and I kept it off by dieting Sunday -Thursday and exercising...

Goose - Firstly...3lb is fantastic and look at your BMI, you are officially 'normal'. You never had a lot to lose and 8 10 is a very low goal weight so it will be a bit of a slog BUT you are looking great and you must feel so much better. Anyway a huge well done, I am wobbling my wobble bits...

I'm on my second bottle of Buxton and just about to once again cleanse, tone and moisturise....seriously I've never looked after my skin so much in years! I must admit I have been hungry everyday since I started...BUT I am looking blooming marvelous compared to 5 weeks ago. This is what keeps...

You Monday losers are a clever bunch and skinny mins...well done on the fantastic losses. Proud of you all xxxx

Have your 3rd shake, have a black coffee, drink water (including sparkling) and go and sort out your knicker draw NOW! Keep busy...go and tone and cleanse your face! Have a bath, oh...have sex (burns calories). JUST GET OUT OF THE KICHEN! Big hug xx

Nice to see two losers on a Saturday :D. Well done Peggy, 7lb is fantastic. Good luck Shikei for next week.

Arent we all:D I honestly compare this diet to giving up smoking....both extremely difficult. However we are all doing really well, hang in there chick, you will start seeing the results and that will get you through xxx

I have a friend who is taller and lighter than me but a size 14, it's all about the exercise, as that is what determines your clothes size, the diet determines your weight. Hence I'm doing a runner from work and going to the gym (no pun intended:o). I'm being naughty but I am not re-feeding...

Sorry Kate...never noticed your post (how rude am I). Well done sweetheart, I know you are thinking 'it's only 2' but it's a loss. Have a good week-end x

How are you today Mrs R? Ducolax is the only thing that has worked with me over the past 4 weeks. Big hug xx

Hello Trish....Just ask yourself why you want to lose weight? For me it was all about clothes, for the past 20 years I've been a size 10, I am a complete exercise freak but then 3 years ago I gave up smoking and gained 2 stone! After many 'attempts' I found Lipotrim and it has not been easy but...

4th Weigh in and another 3lb down! I need another 2 to get to my 2 stone and then my last official weigh in will be next Friday so I am on a mission this week to hopefully get to the low 10s! However I have a size 10 suit on today for work...Happy Days. I will never hear a bad word about...

Agree with the others, in the big picture it was nothing. However, I hope you are feeling OK after your trip to the hospital. x

Thanks Goose, loving your honesty and well done on weight loss. I've decided to do one more week on lipotrim ( 2 x weigh ins) then i am switching to slim and save which I intend to stick to Sunday - Thursday (Breakfast, lunch only and meal of an evening) if I have a social week-end I will just...

Well done the Wednesday losers! Great loses x

Well done...fantastic loss. xx

It could, but...not sure if I want too. I am going to wait until this time next week and decide. See how I feel, however I will follow your advice and go for low carb meal. Will let you know. x

I've weighed myself this morning and I am down 4lb (offically weigh in on Friday) so I am now hesitating myself as that only leaves me 6lb to target! However I will re-feed in two weeks whatever my weight as I have a couple of social events and then I'm on holiday (hopefully wearing a size 10)...

Evening all I cancelled all social plans for 6 weeks when I started this diet, I even cancelled a week-end away, HOWEVER a week on Saturday my hubby has booked a night away in a lovely hotel and dinner in a very nice restaurant for the two of us. In fairness it was booked before I decided to...

Personally...I would TFR and re-feed for maybe 4 days rather than a week. However I am no expert but that would be my plan. Ps - dont beat yourself up over it, we are all human xx

Big Cheer...the 1st weigh in makes the hard work worth while. Excellent x

Amazing....no other words, except PROUD!

You are my hero! Well done, you must look in mirror and be sooooooooo proud of yourself. 8lb to go....FANTASTIC. XX

Loving the Tuesday loser gang...well done you skinny chicks! Big hug Mrs R...I knew you would come back with style. Brilliant girls...have a glass of sparkling on me, what the hell...have a bottle (buxon sparkling is on offer and you lot are cheap:D) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done on the weight loss...you have done so well. The biggest problem with the diet is bowel movements, I've never actually been in 4 weeks without the aid of laxatives! Without boring you to death I think I took 1 too many yesterday and it was not the best experience. That fibreclear has...

To me dieting is all about clothes, nothing but NOTHING tastes as good as a size 10! Well done sweetheart xx

Squish - Fantastic news...sometimes you have to just keep the faith. Woo Hoo Mrs R...you little devil in your size 14s!! Well done. However we will agree to disagree on the scales, it does change your mood but it keeps me on track (did I mention I'm a control freak:D) Good luck for weigh in...

Sweetheart...look at the other food replacement forums on here and you will find it or there is a link above x

Well done on your 5lb loss. Brilliant x

Hee hee...I've actually got a bottle as I'm not as posh as you with your glass Mr R:p However I did buy Buxton (it was on offer in Morrison's, hehe). Happy Week-end x

Honestly I love the chicken soup, in fact I actually like all the shakes...OMG I am just so common!:D

Slightly off on a tangent, however hubby has just come home from work and I have served him Lamb Shank with veggies and new potatoes that I've had in the slow cooker for 8 hours AND I made home made egg custard. I am now upstairs avoiding watching him eat it. If there was best wife award, I...

I agree with this, it's the dreaded weigh in that keeps me from eating anything with a pulse! However I am going to slim and save when I get to target. x

That so made me laugh! Frankly my dear we look gorgeous, Mr Redwine and Mrs McFatterson are blooming lucky to have us (if their lucky:D)

Hello Squishy You are doing really, really well...your problem is probably you don't have a great deal to lose...hence the slow down. For the record I weigh myself constantly too, I find it keeps my on track too (each to their own). Women...what we like. Anyway I can not speed up your weight...

Hello you...Just look at the amount of weight you have already lost 1st 10lb - amazing, you should be very proud of yourself. This diet is not easy, in fact I tend to compare the diet to giving up smoking (I did that too) because it is so hard. Obviously the choice to give up is yours, but...

This is my 4th week and I must admit I am over the blooming moon with the results, it's been the hardest diet I've ever done but with the quickest results ever....and I am looking good on it (even though I say it myself:)) However last Tuesday I could not bear another black coffee and I decided...

Brilliant! Well done, especially with the meals out (lord I am sooo jealous, this is my 3rd week-end in and I am going stir crazy). I've cancelled a girls night tomorrow (which made me Miss Popular) because I just can not bear to drink sparkling water and watch others get bladdered! I thought I...

Fantastic...you are doing so well xx

Thanks Mrs R, I put it down the my exercise. I've always been a gym bunny and even though the first week was hard going at the gym I have continued through the 3 weeks as I've always done. I think with your exercise this week you will see the results next week....I will be cheering you on xx

Morning gorgeous people....lost an amazing 6lb this week, that's a grand total of 21 pounds in 3 weeks. I am a very happy bunny. I have 3 weeks to go as I have too much coming up to stay on it any longer, so whatever I weigh in 3 weeks is my target. Hopefully I am looking for another 10 pounds...

I've bought a mixture of shakes and soups...did not fancy the meals at the moment. I will continue with Lipotrim for 3 more weeks (that was always my goal) and then re-feed and use S&S for maintaining (hopefully). Will let you know what the shakes are like xx

I was thinking of doing maintenance through slim and save, I've looked at their shakes/soups and there are just more flavors to try AND I do not have to go to my chemist to be weighed. I've got 3 more weeks, and then I will re-feed and swap over to maintain. Did you email them Kate?

:D That's my girl, hehe xxxxx

It's all about control. I lost 8 stone in my early 20s, just after I left university (I only ate junk food for 3 years!!). However I kept that weight loss off for 20 years because I exercised at least 6 days a week...and I mean at least an hour of hard exercise (gym, aerobics, spinning class)...

TOM - The bain of our lives girls!! This is why I think its water retention Dan, because I am in the same boat, I am weighing really low at the moment (at least a 5lb loss) but Friday (TOM on Saturday) I normally gain anywhere between 4-7lbs. In fairness (rightly or wrongly) I will take water...

This sounds like water retention to me, try upping your water allowance. Big hug...remember life is easy is blooming dieting that's hard xxxxxx

Morning Mrs R....how you feeling today my lovely??

Fantastic, you must be very proud of yourself. Please keep this thread up as I'm very interested on the re-feed plan. Well done, you are my hero xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Now stop it Mrs R...You have been so damn good and so focused. This is one of those stupid blips that someone somewhere does to makes our lives miserable (not sure who but I will find out:)). Head back on...focus on that skinny sexy little dress you have your eye on for Christmas and ignore...

Ironically, last week I had to go and get weighed in the afternoon and there was a 5lb difference between their scales and mine. I normally go first thing on a Friday and there is usually a 2lb difference (clothes and a cup on coffee). However back to normal this week so I am expecting a good...

My friend lost 4 stone over a 10 month period on Lipotrim but had 3 breaks. Maybe you just need a break my love, there are no rules to say you must lose all your weight in one go. However when you stop it is very very easy to 'go off on one'...you must keep control. You have done so well, do...

I'm so pleased it's getting easier and I must admit my 2nd week is easier than my first. xx

Good luck Ava...I will be interested on how you get on. xx

Well done you, the hardest step is taking control and doing something about it. You will need a strong focus and an iron will, but I am telling you the results are fantastic. I am looking forward to see 'less' on you in the coming weeks xx

How interesting, I was talking to a lady this afternoon who has been on the dietfor 3 weeks, she 'had a moment' and eat a milky way bar (on the grand scale ofthings...it was not the worst thing in the world), however she got really severe stomach pains within minutes and then was sick as a dog...

Well done, you must feel fantastic xx

Well done you xxxxx

Your 1st weeki s a hard slog but your first weigh in will be unbelievable. As for exercise, I gym daily (I always have) and in fairness the first couple of days were hardgoing but the week-end I was back to my full routine. I would probably notstart a new exercise in the first week, but you can...

Hi Kelly My second week too, but I must admit that this week-end has been really, really hard. However I made the latte with my vanilla shake today (as recommended on here) and it was a real comfort thing. I lost 10lb in my first week...so it really does work, but it is not for the weak...

Friday for me xx

Interesting, I may try chewing next week....if bad breath hits x

I agree with this, it's hard but staying focused is what is going to bring us through. I'm still cooking for my hubby (god I'm a dreadful cook too, hence we eat out a lot) and that is so hard but in my head it's only for 8 weeks...what's 8 weeks in the big picture. I think you are both brave...

Good luck with that one! I'm not sure really. I've managed to cancel everything 'food wise' for the next 6 weeks as I thought it was my only option and I must admit I do tend to eat out a lot so that's been hard. I'm not much help, however I will be very interested on what you do x

Friend of mine lost 4 and a half stone and it took her 5 months, so that stone a month is probably a good guide.

I dont think there is a right or wrong way here. I always weigh myself at home and always have done. The scales are exactly the same as the Pharmacist's scales pound for pound (well they were last week), however it is the numbers that the pharmacist gives me that I use...if he says I've lost a...

I'm cold and that's it! Not sure if I should be jealous of you lot or you should be jealous of me! I thought that the side effects meant it was working...damn! However I am on day 5 and I think my bowel has gone on holiday as I've not seen or felt anything:D

Day 5 for me and I must admit I am still finding it hard going, however I do have my 'head' filmly on and I will just pull through...because I want to lose this damn excess weight, simples (remind me about this post when I'm moaning next week, hehe x)

...and we are both still alive and not murdered any love ones - Result! hehe

I'm on day 4 and I'm hungry but ok in general, loads of energy and still doing exercise without any major problems (swimming & gym). I would like the hunger pains to go though and then life would be much better.

I must be a little odd (no change there)...I love the chicken soup. I find the shakes OK (would not choose them on a menu though, hehe) but the taste of them is not my main concern which helps. x

Sorry to hear that, if you have never smoked you will never understand how hard it is to quit and I found my NHS advisor was and had always been a non smoker. Howevr Fiona, you are doing really well...you should be very proud of yourself xx

Hello....Istarted Lipotrim on Sunday, my weigh in will also be Friday. I need to get ridof my giving up smoking weight gain (which was 3 years ago!!)...I am finding ithard, I am hungry but I am extremely motivated. I'm still going to the gymbecause I also have, and my pharmacist said it would be...

For a woman who is constantly having hot flushes....this being cold side effect is blooming fantastic. I can not remember when I last wore knitwear! This diet is the cure to hot flushes, hehe x

I gave up smoking 3 years ago with Champix, however it really really had a bad effect on me even after I had stop taking it. I sank into an awful cycle of depression and mood swings (I understand stopping smoking also brings this on but it carried on for 18 months). I am not saying do not take...
