    30 days to form a new habit

    I was reading somewhere it takes between 30 - 60 days for a new habit to become a new normal. To create new neurons or diminish old ones. My eating habits are not good, I find it very hard to stop at one of anything and I binge too. So I figure if I can reprogramme my brain to only crave food at...

    Hi thanks for the welcome. I like everything - literally, except celery. Carbs have been a bit of an issue for me in the past, ie I find it hard to stop at 1 piece bread, cracker, chocolate.

    What do u do on Fridays?

    If it is a DD do you have a meal in the evening of earlier, we usually have a curry on fri (homemade so fairly healthy) and a glass of beer, I'd really miss that, just wondering could I fast all day and have that ( v small portion) of would I be better just having Saturday as a DD instead?

    Brain fog

    I thought of another one. I dropped my two older boys off at school put the baby in the car and was just driving off when a man tapped the window and said ' is this your buggy? Honestly I just took the baby out and left it there and nearly drove off - I was mortified!

    Ooooohh big hug for you. You are not letting anyone down, least of all me. You are losing fat and your heart and lungs are getting stronger, and your body loves the huge effort you are putting in. Also I bet it wasn't a false feeling I bet you look slimmer. As you say this diet works but it is...

    I WILL be thin by Christmas

    Yes this diet is a bit crap isn't it, I miss eating with my family most, the social aspect more than the food. It must be hard while in college too:( on the bright side, it does work, doesn't make it easy though. We will have to start thinking about our stunning Christmas outfits soon enough...

  138. shrinkingannie

    Disappointed

    Oh dear I can imagine your disappointment after such a huge effort too. Did u drink a lot before getting weighed or are you a little constipated - either could account for a couple of pounds. I bet you'll get a big number next week!
  139. shrinkingannie

    Decision

    Well I think I have decided to put a time limit on my lipotrim journey ie another 8 weeks. That will mean a loss (probably) of 4 stone in total leaving me approx 1 stone from my goal (or 10 lbs on my scales) the reason is firstly I think that's all I can cope with and secondly I have a few big...

    The first week is definately the hardest, saying that I don't mind the shakes at all I'm not sure I would have survived if I felt like you do. Low carb will work too. Youll never be a failure as long as you keep trying, one way or another. Best of luck!!

    I bet you can do it too. Although I hope you don't mind me saying if you are doing a diet like lipotrim that involves ketosis you really need to avoid sugar, it makes it much harder to stick too if you eat sugar because your body will produce insulin in response, also you body will switch off...
