Hi Laura I would advocate you sticking with LT hun. I'd worry about anyone who decides to come off LT for Xmas. My pharmacist was just telling me last week what a big downfall Xmas is for people, even those who are really determined. At first I was hoping to have finished refeed and been on...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEMMA HUNNI!!! :flowers: :party0023: Mx

Hi fellow Wednesday weighers!! :wavey: Well done on your losses, you're all doing fab! :D I lost 3lbs this week, which makes up for my 1lb loss last week. So now I'm just 3lbs short of 2 stone. Although I was hoping to be at 2 stone by now as I've done 2 months, but hey - fingers crossed for...

Do your packs say Male or Female? Cos sometimes they give you Female ones if they don't have enough Males, and as the Male ones are bigger it could explain why they are giving you extra.

How weird... I've had a VERY slight rash over my right boob the last week or so, there's also a bit on the left side of my neck, just below my ear. It is only slight, and not really itchy, but seems too much for coincidence, especially if other people have experienced it. It could be down to...

Well done for working on kicking the Pepsi habit hun... fizzy drinks are SOOO bad for you. Not only because of the caffeine and sugar (and the sugar-free ones are high in acidity so just as bad) but also because they have recently been linked to osteoporosis. So when you feel like you want a...

Blimey, a 5lb weight loss while on holiday... that's amazing! Well done for being so disciplined while away, it would have been so easy to give in and think "oh sod it, it won't matter, I'm on holiday"! That determination certainly paid off! Just think, it's that kind of iron willpower that...

Well done hunni! :D Personally, I like the exercise bike... I love being able to exercise while sat on my fat arse! :D Mx

You're doing fab Guen - well done hunni! 3lbs is a great loss, especially when you've lost so much already. Go you... go you! :D Mx

Wow - nearly a stone in a week - that's a fab loss hunni, well done! Took me 3 weeks to lose that much!! :D Mx

Edwin hunni... every day that you don't eat is a day closer to your goal. Take each day as it comes and before you know it weeks and even months will have passed and you will have amazed yourself. You owe it to yourself to do this - just grit your teeth when you get a craving and tell...

Well done hunni! :D I've lost 4lbs this week as well - so between us that's 8lbs of flab we'll never see again... how fab is that?!! :D LT rocks! Mx

Well done Pinkie! 3lbs is fab!! :D Mx

Wow - OMG Julzie I am so pleased for you! You look amazing - you have done soooo well! Good luck with refeed - make sure you let us know how you get on! We can't lose you on here, your positivity and unwavering support keeps us all motivated! Well done babe - you so deserve this! Mxx

Week 5 WI Another 4lbs off this week! Woooo!! :party0011::bliss::party0011: I am soooo chuffed - I was concerned that my weight loss has been dropping each week (5lbs, 4lbs, 3lbs, 2lbs) - I thought this week would be 1lb. So 4lbs is a fab surprise!! :D Bring on next week! :cool: Mx

Well done David - 16lbs in your first week is bloody amazing! :D That's the thing with LT - it can be bloody hard at times but the losses keep you motivated! :D Just protect those ketones with your life and you'll be fine! Mx

Hi Wednesday Weighers! :D I've lost 2lbs this week but at least that takes me to my first stone! Yay! :party0011: So I'm bang on the "one stone per month" thing so far. My only worry is that my loss has consistently dropped each week (5lbs, then 4lbs, then 3lbs, then 2lbs) - so next week may...

Hi. I've just started going back to the gym the last couple of weeks, and I haven't had any problems with dizzyness or anything, but I do find that the exercise tends to make me hungrier!

"He works me so fricking hard. On Monday I was like full of chat and he just gave me a stern look and made me feel like i was in the army or something?" Lol - that reminded me of that bloke from Fit Club... Harvey or something... :D

Wow, Julzie you are flying hunni!! You so deserve to reap the rewards of this diet as you have helped so many to stay motivated. It looks like your personal trainer is paying off, eh! With your willpower and his help with exercise you will get to the weight you want and keep it off hunni, I...

Lol, cool! Have to continue this later... gotta get to work, I'm late, I'm late... Hey, I could be the White Rabbit! Lol! :D BBL. Mx

I saw this on the news too and I nearly fell off the sofa!!! My next thought was "it's not April 1st is it???!" :D I bloody LOVE Johnny Depp!! And he's coming to my home town!! OMG OMG OMG! If I wasn't a short fat heffer I'd go along too... if only it was The Wizard of Oz instead, I could be...

Well done Pinkie!! :D Mx

Thank you Linds, Satty and Teg! xx :hug99: Mx

Hi hunni! I like nettle tea, but it's not to everyone's taste... it's a bit like green tea in that respect. It's quite bitter, so if you're going to get some, try it weak to start with till you get used to it. It's very good for you, so worth trying. Mx

Hi BB and welcome to bestest forum in the world ever for the bestest diet in the world ever!! :D Well done for making the decision to start LT... it really is a fab diet and the amazing, reliable weight loss will keep you motivated. As you will know from reading posts on here, the first week...

Thanks Shaz! I am so excited about losing my first stone - I can't wait! Only 1 or 2 weeks to go! Whoop!! :D Mx

Thanks babe! It certainly does! Am loving it! :D Mx

Lol, very true! Thanx hunni!xx :D Mx

Wow, you really are on a mission hunni! You are doing fab! That wrap sounds amazing... definitely going on my "weight loss treats" list for later on! You have inspired me to start going to the gym again hun! I had to stop going in April because my back went into spasm (ouch! :() and have...

Thanks Cuddly hunni! You are doing fantastically! :D Mxx

Sigh, 28 inch waist... that would be nice! :) Now that you've got your personal trainer your bod will be beautifully toned! :D (is he fit btw??? :D) I can't wear sleeveless tops anyway cos I've got stretchmarks on my upper arms :cry:. Which isn't gonna get better with weight loss - I'm...

Hi Flixx - don't worry hun, I felt like that on day 2 as well, as I found the shakes ok but wasn't enjoying them. But on day 3 I was in ketosis, so wasn't feeling hungry, and now I love the shakes (especially my morning iced latte - yummmm! :D) Your tastes will change and it will get easier...

Hi Chele Try putting some coffee in a choc shake as well for mocha! :D Mx

Thanks guys!! xx :hug99: Thanks Julzie!! It is really exciting! I've already lost more inches... total so far: 1.5 off my bust (am hoping that's mostly back fat!! ;)) 2.5 off my waist :party0011: 2.5 off my hips :party0011: 2 off each thigh :party0011: My clothes are already starting to...

Hi guys! :) Well I've just had my second weigh-in and I've lost another 4lbs, which means 9lbs in my first 2 weeks! :D I know that's not all that quick for LT but it's bloody amazing for me as I can never normally lose weight (bloody underactive thyroid!!!) so I'm well pleased. Congrats to...

Shawshank Redemption is fantastic... love that movie. Loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as well. :D Amelie is a great film and La Vie en Rose (sorry, world cinema again! I can't help it - I usher at an Arts Cinema at weekends! :D). I loved Once as well, such a lovely film with...

Hiya Julzie! Dunno about fave... but there is a film I saw recently which was fantastic - "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" - have you heard of it? It's a French film (subtitled) about the true story of a man who wakes up one day to find he is completely paralysed and only able to wink one...

Hi Gordz! Welcome to the forum hun! x Sorry to hear you're disappointed with your weight loss, but as I'm also having to remind myself today, any loss is good. If you've been following the plan exactly, the only thing I can think of is that you need to drink more - 2 litres per day is the...

Lol - thx Nic hunni!! xx You're right of course! That is a lot to lose when you look at it like that. In fact, it's more than I weighed when I was born! :D :eek: Mmmm... that big blob of lard looks yummy doesn't it! :jelous: Lol! :D Mx

Well done Julzie, that is FAB!!!! xx:party0011::party0049::party0011: :D Mx

Lol Shaz... I know, I'm a bad girl for being so impatient! :whoopass: At least my little ticker doggie has finally got his bum off the big fat zero mark! :D Mx

Lol, thx hunni!! x :D Mx

Well done Guen! x :D Mx

Well done Nicky! x :D Mx

Thx everyone! xx I weigh at 6pm as the chemist is on the way home from work. I wore exactly the same clothes as last week! And I've been drinking 4 litres a day and not even slightly cheated! However, I am due on TOTM at the end of the week, so the pharmacist said it could be that. I know...

Well done guys! I have 5lb to add to the kitty... Was hoping for more, being a newbie, so not the boost for the Weds club I was hoping for! Oh well, there's still next week... Mx

Hi guys! :) Well I've just been for my first weigh in and I've lost 5lbs. :confused: I know any loss is good, but I have to say I was hoping for more, especially given what the tape measure was telling me! Still, it's over the 3.5 lbs per week I'd need to lose to achieve a stone in a...

Well done FF, that's fab!! It must feel amazing, well done!! :D Last time I was a size 12 I was still a teenager! :cry: :sigh: One day... :innocent0001: :D Mx

Toning will def help hun - and of course the exercise with help with the fat burning, even when you are not exercising!! If you increase your muscle mass, those muscles will burn more energy (ie cals!) even when resting - win-win situation! :D Lol - here's all that coming from someone who...

He'll probably be impressed with how strong your tummy muscles are after all that zapping from the Slendertone! :D Mx

Hiya Julzie! I would say you should tell him you are on Lipotrim, so he knows to be careful with what he sets you to do... at least in the beginning. With exercise your body is going to need more calories to feed the muscles, which as you are on a VLCD this will come from your fat stores...

Thanks guys! :D Some of the inch loss may be due to being less bloated than before, due to the crap I was shoving down my neck before starting LT! :rolleyes: Also I tried Dulcolax the other day for the first time... all I can politely say is OMG on that one! ;) Will definitely use it again...

Thanks Teg! :) I hope I do the Wednesday club proud! :D Mx

Hiya! Well I was just thinking that I'm feeling a bit slimmer and at the same time telling myself that that's ridiculous cos I haven't even finished my first week yet (I weigh tomorrow - gulp!!). So to prove to myself that it was wishful thinking I got the tape measure out... and lo and...

Hiya F&FU! You get Lipotrim from various pharmacies - prices vary slightly, but mine is £36 per week, which may sound a lot but consists of all your food for a whole week, so could actually save on your food budget! To find out all about the programme go to the website at Welcome to the...

Lol - I did last night! I dreamt that a food delivery arrived that I'd completely forgotten I'd ordered - it was all full of things like croissants, french cheeses, cinnamon danishes...etc. Mmmmm! In the dream I was annoyed that it had arrived after I'd started LT, but felt I had to eat it to...

Wow, well done - nearly a stone gone already! :happy096: This forum is great at helping you stay on the straight and narrow isn't it!! :D Mx

OMG that's a fab start!!! :D Well done u! :happy096: Mx

I tried the flapjacks for the first time this weekend and I liked them! They do taste salty (like everything on Lipotrim!) but I'm getting used to that, even enjoying the shakes more than I did in the first couple of days. Mind you, as I mentioned in a previous thread, I like the soup as well...

- Maria says goodbye to the crowd - Maria says don't give up - Maria says hope everyone doing fine - Maria says I will always love you! - Maria says Moz wears too much aftershave Well, not funny but (mostly) positive! :D Especially if Moz really does wear too much aftershave lol! :p Mx

Will do! :D Am v excited about Weds... have been soooo good so I hope it's a good start! Mx

Hi! I'm a Wednesday girl too - can I join? :) I weigh in at 6pm cos it's on the way home from work. Having said that, I've only actually weighed once so far (am still in my 1st week!). Mx

Yay, me!! :D :party0049::bliss:

Hi! Well would you Adam and Eve it... I tried a Ketostick this morning, not expecting anything yet, but it was pink!! I'm in ketosis already?? Doesn't it usually take 4 or 5 days? Not that I'm complaining... I'm so excited about my visit from the Ketosis Fairy!! It was like waking up on...

Lol Scouse - and there was me thinking I'd be considered a weirdo for liking the soup! I've only read negative comments about it so far - I didn't realise so many people liked it too! If I have strange tastes compared to so many others on here... maybe I will enjoy the flapjacks after all! :D...

Hiya Gem! Wot a stupid jealous cow! For starters if she thought you had a problem she should have spoken to you about it if she had any so-called "concerns" about you. The fact that she went behind your back to your boss shows wot a cowardly back-stabbing b*tch she is. People like that are...

Lol - I'm just really glad and relieved to find something I actually enjoy on this diet. The shakes are ok but I wouldn't say I enjoy them. The prospect of 5 months on this plan is now suddenly looking brighter and more do-able! :) Mx

Well, I've just tried my chicken soup and shock horror - I really liked it!! :eek: I know I've been desperate for something savoury all day so I thought I might be more forgiving of it cos I'd just be glad of something that's not sweet - but I didn't expect to actually enjoy it! And I didn't...

Well that's cool cos I don't do salt anyway! :D Hmmm... am really tempted with the paprika tho, am sooo fancying something savoury. I'll try it without to begin with tho, just to be safe! If I really hate it I might try black pepper... paprika might just be too risky. It's a shame cos...

Oh b*gger... I don't want to lost any - I'm only a B to begin with! :eek: Oh well, nothing good comes without a price I guess! :rolleyes:

Thanks Shaz! I think I will try having the soup with more water than it states - but I was told that pepper is also a no-no? (unless that is less to do with affecting ketosis, and more to do with LT wanting their products to be just palatable, rather than moreish! The idea is to change our...

Hi guys! :) Well I've managed to get to day 2 without chewing my own arm off (yet! lol) so I guess I'm doing ok! Am not particularly liking the shakes, but they are drinkable - hopefully in time I'll get more used to them and maybe even like them! I'm having vanilla iced lattes for breakfast...

Good luck Jem! :D

Wow... congrats to you too! :) So sorry to hear of your sad loss hun :(. And 7 kids to look after as well! After all you've been through you deserve this. Best of luck to you - let us know how you get on hun! :) Mx

You should get commission Nic! ;)

Lol, thanx! I HOPE 5 months fly by! :o This forum is great isn't it... I doubt I would have ever tried LT without the success stories and support on here. Mx

That reminds me... must dig out the old Slendertone! :) Mx

Aww, bless him! :D Nothing shallow about liking prezzies! :D

Will be watching out for yours too hun! I'll be willing you on to lose loads for the end of September! Make that ex as sick as a parrot that he lost you! :D

Cool - you're on! :D

Hiya Gem! I'm only 4" 8' m8 - I'm a piskie! :D Which is why being 5 stone overweight is so scary - all that on my little frame! It's gotta go! Just think, if I can get there I'll have nearly halved my weight!!! :eek: My ticker says I've got 67lbs to lose, but actually it's 70 - it won't...

That's ages away... you'll have lost loads by then! :D

Thanks guys! :thankyou: It's scary that I've got so far to go - my BMI has gone up to 37, which is only 3 away from morbidly obese (40)! :eek: Apparently I'm "super obese" - oooh lucky me! :rolleyes: So I really need to get this sorted - NOW! :o

PG Tips! With the chimps lol! :D God I'm sad :)

At last - I have finally been to the chemist and got my first LT pack!!! Wooooo!!! :party0049: I've been waiting weeks for today to come around, as I have booked time off from work so I won't be surrounded by nasty temptations during those crucial first few days! And also so I can be a grumpy...

Hiya Leela - have just come across this one, on page 12, here: :) Lolcats ‘n’ Funny Pictures of Cats - I Can Has Cheezburger? Couldn't figure out how to paste it in, soz! :o

I can't think of anything...! :rolleyes: :whistle: Mx

I love that job ad Howdy! If only they were all that honest! Mx

Awwww Guen!! :D I want one!! :) (lovely man, that is - not rifle! Except on THOSE days, anyway! Lol!)

Hiya Cuddly! :D To be fair, I am only 4" 8'... But then, so was Edith Piaf! :p (you've gotta be feisty when you're little!) Bloody heightist BMI calculator...! ;) Mx

Wow, haven't heard that one in AGES!! Am off work poorly today and feeling crap, but that has just put me in SUCH a good mood! Have just discovered this thread, but will def be back - fab to have such great chooooons to pick you up when you're feeling sh!te! Thanx guys!! :D xxx

CONGRATULATIONS MUMMABEAR!!! :D What an incentive, eh! Keep your dream, slinky, beautiful wedding dress in mind, and the stones will have melted away before you know it! :)

Hey Gaz - I don't like that BMI calculator - it said that my height was too low for my age and insisted that I must be 11 years old!!!! :eek: Cheeky bloody thing!!

OMG - that is AMAZING!!! :eek: Well done you!! :D:happy036: :happy096:

Well done Dolly!!! You've done brilliantly - keep it up! Just think, after next week you'll never have to say "14 stone" EVER again - except maybe to say that's what you USED to be lol!!! :D

Thx Mini & Pierce! That was quick! :D

Thx CC! :D And well done on your fab weight loss!! I'm hoping that I can see the chemist on 16th, I have to go somewhere for work that day, and have to rely on others for transport cos I can't drive. Chemist is open till 7pm, so if I can get there in time my first actual LT day will be the...

Thx Mini! :D I'm still new here so still learning what's "normal"! Update: Ok... now it's back again. Did you do something Mini? If so, thanks! If not... is something wrong with my profile? :confused:

I'm hoping to start on 16th July, as I'm going to take time off work for the first few days. I'm not telling anyone why I'm taking it though - I want to see if they notice in a few weeks' time! :D I do wanna start now tho! :gimi: I have things coming up at work tho, that I really can't...

Nope... no blank space at all. Here's what it says: Welcome, Dumpy2Petite. 525 Unread Posts since your last visit. You last visited: 15 Hours Ago at 12:03 AM That's it! :confused: It was definitely there the other day. Weird.

Hiya I can't change my "mood" on this forum at the moment... I changed it the other day cos it was showing at the top of the screen, so I just clicked on it and changed it. But now it's not there, and I can't find how to change it anywhere else. :confused: :sign0163:

LOL Gem -we're all trying to lose that Devon bum!! :D

Hiya Dolly! I haven't started LT yet but I can't wait! I'm so excited for you! It's brilliant reading all the fab weight losses on here isn't it! This is such a great forum - so encouraging and inspiring! :D

Thx Lisa! I hope losing the fat does help reduce the look of the cellulite a bit, but even if not, at least I won't feel like a heffalump any more! To me at the moment, having never lost as much as I need to before, even getting the 4 stone off at the moment seems too good to be true! Wanna...

LMAO Chunky! :rotflmao:

Thx Gem! x :D

Hi guys! I haven't started LT yet (am starting in the middle of July, cos I've got stuff at work to do then I'm taking a bit of leave for those crappy first days!) and I want to lose about 4 1/2 stone. The most I've ever been able to lose before is just under a stone before plateauing :mad: -...

God I am so gobby - my posts are always too long!! Soz guys! :o

Hi Mummabear! If you are still feeling crap, and have been on 50mcg for a while, pester your doctor to see if you would do better with a higher dose! I'm not surprised how many people on this forum have under-active thyroids, as it is such a huge (no pun intended!) reason for so many people...

NPNG - I had the same problem before I was finally given Thyroxine. I was being tested every couple of months for ages, and told that I was borderline but not enough to give treatment. I FELT CRAP, but that obviously didn't count! Then one day I phoned up to get my latest result and just...

Hi NPNG!! Your score is the number that comes back from the lab relating to the level of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) in your bloodstream. Basically, your thyroid gland (which is located at the front of your throat) produces hormones that regulate your metabolism (T4 & T3). If your...

Hi Daisy If your score is 1, that would put you at the low end of normal, so if you are still feeling hypo (tired, down etc) maybe it's not your T4 (thyroxine) level that's the problem... maybe you are one of those who needs extra T3 as well? As posters have mentioned above, your body may not...

Just re-read my last post... God, can't you tell I'm hormonal???!!! :o

OMG - isn't this unbelievable!!! THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY - and we are having to FIGHT for the treatment WE KNOW we need!! IT IS NOT THE DARK AGES FOLKS - but anyone would think it is! It is SHOCKING - in fact, it is worse than that, it is NEGLIGENCE! You only have to search Google for...

Oh, and thanks Sara4 (and Cathy!) - I have read about the whole T3/T4 thing, but had seriously doubted that any doctor (especially in the UK rather than the US) would even consider it. Now I know better and will definitely push for that if the increased dose doesn't help! Thanks! :hug99:

Hi guys! Wow, the support on this forum is great... thanks everyone! Mwah!!! :D :hug99: Sooo... I did go to see my doctor yesterday morning, spent the whole time in the waiting room thinking how I was wasting my time and would not be listened to AGAIN, getting more and more depressed etc...

LOL Bbs - I am hormonal at the moment so with any luck I will go into total meltdown and he'll agree just to get rid of me!!! I think now may be a good time! :sign0151: Thanks for the support! :party0038:

Hi NPNG - how did you get on? I'm new here - just started posting because I am thinking of trying Lipotrim, but I've got an underactive thyroid and am really fed up with trying various diets and not getting anywhere. So I'm finding this thread interesting. :coffee: Although I'm on...
