Well done newgirl and nic! X x

That's exactly right newgirl! Do u keep an eye on ur inch loss? I've just started that since Wednesday, its great to see that diminish too!! :) keep up the great work. U havent faltered at all, brilliant. U were one of my first inspirers before I'd started and I'm delighted to see u getting so...

I do have the Choc or vanilla hot sometimes with a pinch of decaf. Ya they're nice enough, like a latter or a hot Choc... of sorts. Try it for sure u will prob love them. Can't beat the soup tho! ;) x

Ya I agree! 67e is major. I did lighterlife but was 80e per wk. I couldn't. For me, it doesn't save me a cent because I still have to d the weekly shop for the family. As I was the 4 th person I don't save cos u usually buy meat in packs of 2! Argh. If I wasn't desperate to offload 12 stone or...

Ya I don't know but its really enjoyable isn't it! I'm delighted because I was don't really love the shakes hot but its so cold Id to.get soup. Love it now! X

U must be dying for the weigh in tomorrow, its like a confirmation of the effort u have put in isn't it. Have u takenur before pics and starting measurements? They'll be so helpful in those testing times or slow weeks. Best of luck for.tomorrow and keep it up! X

Try it! Makes a massive difference. I'm actually looking forward to the next one! X

How r u getting on so far? X

No... it was natural. Natural torture!

I have been a strict anti soup customer since the start of time but having it there this morn with curry powder... its delish!!! I think I'll get 21 soup next week. I don't.know though, 4 years ago I wasn't allowed add pepper or anything to it. This year I can add curry or chilli powder, what...

Woo hoo!!! Only obese! Ur so lucky!!!!!!! That's brilliant, well done yeye. X

Before I got to refeed* not refers

Well to be honest if I'd 3-4 stone to lose I'd prob wouldn't choose this. But I've 4 times that and everynight wonder if I'll wake up on the morning. U know? I'm desperate. In saying that, I know someone who lost 13 stone with it and is now a dietitian!!! Never put it back on and completely...

By the way, pat yourself on the back. U have as good as completed day1. One goal achieved! X

Same as myself Maria, a second timer. And I also find this time much much harder than first time. I lost 6st 10lbs in 16 weeks with this 4 years ago. Starting this year I was... 10 stone heavier. I'd had a baby before even getting to refers andwhen I say it snowballed out of control!! :( The...

Hi Maria, thanks v much. X I'm just on the 3 shakes and 4l water. Absolutely zero exercise. My starting weight was huge so I have big initial losses but fromthis week now it will even out at 3-4 I'd say. The only tip I have is if u cave, just get back to it asap and keep going. I'd a bad day...

Fab loss bigt well done!! We are on par this week yay! Best wishes for this week x

Great news twowheels, massive achievement. Keep u the great work! Best wishes for this week.

That's great goose, ur doing really well. Have a good day today, I hope it flies by :) x

Hi snappy, What everyone says is right, remember ur reasons for wanting to lose weight. It takes 21 days to break a habit. In my experience the first 3 weeks are the hardest, after that u physically feel very well. Mentally u always have to make that choice though, I've a posted up on my...

Honk!

Ur rite, sometimes it doesn't dissolve well, mind u its a very rare occasion I'd go vanilla... loved my first pop at chicken soup with curry powder today! It was like being at the Chinese with a big spoon...... but not really! Lol

Good for u experimenting! Day 1 done. Keep up the water and u should avoid any headaches that might appear tomorrow r Fri. Very best of luck x

Pour into a mug *, not pounds into a mug. Sorry, my fone is fit for the dump.

I do the same with vanilla but haven't the blender. I have the shaker I bought at the pharmacy. Have u that? So to 100ml cold water I add a spoon of decaf and the vanilla, shake it up and pounds into a mig. Then add another 300ml hot water. Its nice enough. Best wishes

Well done Sam, that's great :) keep it up and soon ul be in the habit of drinking sooo much water. Best of luck for this week now x

-6 lbs for me this week. Thanks busymum. I've my own weightloss challenge chart made out for the next 12 mths. January achieved :) Best of luck to everyone this week. X

God that was an essay! Sorry there! I'm hearing an awful lot of snoring .... wake up ladies!!!!! Lol

Hi goose, Well I really feel for u becase I've just binged all day too. I wont get into it now but I lost the plot and now I'm physically sick curled up in bed. The point is, I know what my trigger is today and its the same trigger that's going to be my complete downfall if I let it. I'm lying...

Aww fantastic nic!!! Thrilled for u. That's a great loss and boost for this week! Well done. Best wishes for this week x

Ur spot on Sam ya! I drink 4l and extra in teas etc and I go every 2 hrs I'd say. Like a racehorse but still. I've no prob with the water only because when I'm not guzzling it my tummy rumbles so much and I'm not to the stage yet where I can think that's fat burning not actual hunger! :S. So...

Fitting into chairs, my nitemare. When I was on holidays I didn't go to single restaurant as I was too embarrassed having to even try the chairs. On the plane over there I was overlapping into my child's seat, thankfully not a stranger. Evans have improveed on style over the years but my God...

Ya I'm doing much better this week 3. Spent the first two wks whingeing. :'( I've another 11.5 stones I'd love to lose so if I made it by Xmas it'd be amazing :) I think I might just do it this time too. Well done so far, ur goal is in sight now keep ploughing towards it! X x x

Wow end of March! Sure that's only around the corner. Brilliant!! Very exciting isn't it:)

Fantastic new girl!!! And ur over the 40 day mark! Ur doing so so so well. U just be delighted with that result today! X

I dont know but since I weighed on Wednesday I've lost a quarter of a pound? I'm going to stop looking at my scales. They'd make u crazy!

@bumblebee, oh yes it definitely works. Don't give up now and you'll be so glad u didn't :) ur doing every u can, just wait for ur body to respond the right way! She'll come round! X @Nessy, well done u going to aqua aerobics how was it? I'd be mortified, I don't even like hanging my...

Hard going isn't it nic. I feel ur pain. Sometimes I'm about to cave and then I remember all of u guys sticking to it and it makes me strong. Its not an easy task but keep focussed on ur end result and it not being too far away!!! Another I do is visualization ... does anyone else? Brill...

Ah that's excellent yeye, very well done!! X

Hang in there girls! Just ur bodies trying to fight it. It has to come off so keep going. Ur in ketosis so ur body has to start using up ur glycogen stores. Glycogen is the energy reserve u already have. As long as u continue, ur body will follow. So disheartening I know but it'll start...

hi sam, ya i got a tub of it this time around too after making the sad mistake of not doing so last time... ouch. my bum never forgave me... taking its revenge now with the opposite problem. tmi? soz. ANYWAY, ya i use a teaspoon of it 1ce or 2ce every other day. it keeps me going literally. they...

honky tonk!!! another day done everyone!! lets all have a big sleep now and wake up when its over for the HONK finale!!!!! no? ok, tomorrow nite then.... boo! :D

Aw pet u have an awful lot on ur plate there. Moving house in itself is so draining. Ttc can be frustrating and disappointing too. U need to slow it down, for ur own health. Feeling so crap at 24 isn't the best. I should know I'm 28 going on 89! Had pneumonia and 2 cracked ribs from the...

Glad u got a laugh out of it! ;) call u when we are casting for it lol x

Hhaha!oh don't make me laugh my ribs hurt so bad! Lol. What do I be writing... useless with predictive texts. I ate Luke and it didn't stop after birth. Hahah. That's a good horror right there.

Fairplay to u donut! U must be delighted :) best wishes for week 2 x

Thanks bigmutha x x x thanks for getting me thinking about it this morning too, really struck a chord. X

Woo hoo! Well done snappy!!! That's great :) glad u kept it up, I did too with a few tears lol. Here's to week 2!! X

Well done Sam, that's brilliant! Best wishes for week 2! X

Like* a demon.... not a demon named Luke. Hahaha

I got pregnant unintentionally while on lipotrim. Obviously stopped it when I found out at 6 weeks. Had a lovely pregnancy no nausea nothing. Ate lots of ice cream. 4 years later I'm 10 stone heavier. I found I ate Luke a demon as my pregnancy went on ad it never stopped post birth either :S...

I couldve wrote that myself, totally get it. I hope we think like that at the end too. This is only part 1, lasts a few months. Then part 2.. lasts the rest of ur life. The mind has to catch up or ur back to square 1. When I think about it, am I actually crying about food? No one died. My...

Brill 1st weeks loss by the way! Keep it up!

And hows our resident hairy biker getting on? Best of luck, log in here often for advice, support and encouragement!

Feels to me like I've been invisible so long that I'm afraid of actually existing on an active level. Participating in life. A friend of mine recently invited me to take our kids away for the day and I said to her 'would u not be embarrassed walking around with me? ', and she just looked...

Sorry I meant to post this in ur DEEP THOUGHTS thread bigmuthabluffa. Oops! X

Thanks so much Kay.. xxx

That's actually a brilliant post bigmutha. I too often wondered why I was sabotaging MYSELF. Ur theories resonate deeply with me. I've always been big, no one knows me any different. But when I lost that 7st a few years I was suddenly 'real'. Everyone took notice. Had an opinion.complimented...

Thanks busymum. U would be amazed how foolish a person can be. Its like I forget what and how well I'm doing and why and I've literally cried this week. Results are brill, just fighting to hang in there! This week will be easier. It will. It will. X thanks again

Bigmutha I'm actually going to print that off and stick my face on it tonight! X x

Thanks for that!!! X

Don't cave!! Or I'll feel like following u! I'm really really struggling too this week. I've been fighting a mental battle with myself all week! I can't tell u how many times I've went to the fridge!!!!!! :@ I'm just getting over pneumonia my ribs are killing me the pain is cruel at night...

8lbs for me this week but really finding it hard. Week 3 starting now. 25 lbs down so far.

PS. Yes I had to weigh a day earlier. Normally Thursday

Hi busy mum. 8lbs for me this week thanks. Hope week 3 is easier. I'm about to cave every few mins :S

Hi minnie. I think its 3 months if I'm not mistaken. But I lied to my pharmacist and started it after a week!!!! Terrible I know but I was so desperate to get it back off and I lost loads but 4 yr later I'm 10 stone more :'( ya. .. shocking. Maybe its 3 mths for a good reason!!!!! X

Like yourself Liam I was drinking that way too much as well. It'd be the first thing I'd have in the.morning. that or lucozade :$ I've given them up now and I feel better for it. Well done on ur 10 days so far, how r u getting on? Best of luck!

If u ever find that answer cherry please let me know! Dying here! X x

Goose promise you'll come back! You have been such a support to me from even before I started. U have inspired and encouraged so many and ur advice has been a lifeline to me at times u know. Thanks by the way. Take a few days to get ur focus if needs be. Sometimes we all need a bit of down time...

Oooh nice! I'll try the chilli powder tomorrow now. Ur doing so so well u know. I replied to u but I don't which thread, I was thinking of u while I was AWOL with pneumonia. U and the others were really keeping me motivated to stick it out that horrid first week. Week two now a bit better...

Good for u cherry x x u sound more confident already :)

Of course!! Its just wonderful for u. I'm delighted for u! Don't forget us when u reach goal in about 5 minutes!!!! Xxx

Well done Kay x x x another week down and another few pounds less to reach target :)

Thanks so much for posting hungryhippo x x x it really is great to make connections with others u can totally relate to. Makes me feel like I'm in a team and we r all going for the same end result. U know? Not just me at home struggling with no help whatsoever. This forum is just great because...

Honk! Day...?

U can get a pregnancy test in the 2euro shop for 1.50. Excellent value and they actually work a charm :) Well, hopefully you'll be alright regardless. Best wishes.

Don't worry unduly anyway u will only upset yourself. Take a test in the morning as ur 2-3 days late. If negative see ur gp or pharmacist for advice and reassurance. I also.got pregnant first time I was on this. Just stopped when I found out which was 6 weeks. I also had 2 miscarriages unrelated...

No effects on the pill hungryhippo. Take that as normal no bother. Says me free as a bird! Oh Stop! We'll be all second guessing ourselves now!! :)

I'm looking forward to when my body can do funny things wink wink! Hahah

My pharmacist told me that lipotrim can affect ur periods initially so that could be why ur late? X

Ur allowed add some curry powder anyway which I find gives a great little kick to it. Perfect for a freezing night like this one!! Best wishes for this week x

Nic * I meant

Well done nice for getting through today ... ur nearly finished the week!! Fairplay to u Mrs x

But some of us are starting from massive weights, look at my stats there like. And also, some people have excellent consistent losses 4 or 5 lbs a week with a smallish start. While others have a huge intro and lower losses. But if u look at both averages on the month its around the same! Don't...

@busymum I found where I replied to u!! Look in my 21 friends post. I really need to get better at this! I still dontknow what an avatar is. Is it just a photo?! Lol

8lbs is a fantastic loss! And ur week isn't even finished!! U should be beaming seeing that! That's great work x

I know exactly how u feel. Even my friendships have suffered because I'm avoiding them. Feel so bad about myself but of course they take it personally. Naturally. I haven't gotten married. Haven't had kids christened. Etc etc. All for my weight. What a way to 'live'. Its pitiful really. A stone...

I was just saying thing myself!! The hours are going by like years! Keep at it though, ul be glad u did by weigh in day. Is it ur 1st week? My 2nd now. Hope ur finding it alright!. Try to distract yourself. Keep busy and the time will whizz by x

Oh great we started around the same time! I started at 26.11 :'( God. I lost 17lbs so far. I'd like to get to 15.11 initially which is a size 16/18 for me. What about u? I find the hardest part for me is trying to stay away from the kids leftovers etc. They take so long!!!! That's the...

I'm just in my 2nd week now. Weigh on Thursday. I find this week loooooong, the hours are like years! Lol. But doing ok. Whens ur weigh in day? I can't see any stats on my fone :'( have u much to lose? X

How r u getting on letmefadeaway? Tis a bitter Sunday I'm wondering if I'd be able for a walk!! I'll chance it sure! Brrrr.

I use the breath strips too or Listerine original mouthwash. Its v strong but does the job. Plenty of water helps. With absolutely everything!! Good luck for today :) x

That's brilliant newmummy, glad ur feeling better after a good nights sleep. Have a good Sunday! X

You are definitely not being selfish by doing lipotrim. Its hardly a walk in the park! I think of it as medicine in a way. Sure, I'm not hooked up to a drip in ICU but I'm far from being the picture of health all the same. I don't want that life anymore. I don't want to be 'that one'. I think we...

busy mum and new girl!!! i replied to both of ye SOMEWHERE!!! hope ye can find it!!!!!! xxxxx

hi newmummy. how are u feeling? i cant recommend a cough bottle as unfortunately im pretty sure all of them take u out of ketosis. my advice would be to nip it in the bud fast though if u feel its getting worse. i let my cough 'fizzle out' but unfortunately it turned in to pneumonia and ive been...

Aww Kay I feel for u. The constipation for me first time around was a killer. I'd be sitting on the loo for up to 2 hours straining. Not great when ur teaching!! Try fibre clear? Its tasteless and makes a difference. Ur doing great u know, fight it all the way because u really will do it...

Welcome Sarah! Very best wishes on ur journey. Ur right, the forum is very supportive. I'm not starting til Thursday and these ladies are so good to me already. Well done taking the plunge pre new year, u mean business! Good luck! Xx

Thanks busy mum. Ya I'm home, it wasn't my ankle at all. I've 2 cracked metatarsals in my foot. It'll be fine. Try not to walk too much on it. He didn't cast it r give crutches because embarrassingly I wouldn't be able to lift my weight on crutches. And wasn't wheelchairing so its just grin and...

this has nothing gor to do with lipotrim hence the off topic but im after twisting my ankle and im in a&e (prob til 2013 judging by the queues)... it hurts like hell. ok not as much as giving birth without the epidural (damn amateurs at the maternity not hitting me right)... anyway, just wanted...

oh definitely a chilli chicken footlong from subway with extra jalapenos and onion sauce! a massive tank of lucozade to wash it down. a tank now, not a bottle.

I understand what ur feeling. Ur not eating and u want to see that on the scales. But it averages out to a substantial loss every time. Ur 3 weeks in. U have been 100%. And u will get those 100% results :) keep it up!! I'll be following u soon xx

That's nearly 4lbs Newgirl, thats excellent! Average out what u have lost in those 3 weeks, not too shabby right? Ur doing really well :)) x

Well done Nina for staying 100% over Xmas. Thats a massive achievement and a testament to ur determination. A holiday would be a breeze to u now ;) ur doing really well!! Xx

My goals : 1. To wear a dress for the first time since my holy communion, even then it was made for me. I was 6. 2. To be able to buy clothes in the 'normal' shops. 3. To pass my driving test. Too embarrassed to get going at the moment. 4. To start walking a little at a time even by day...

hey all! my day is thursday, starting fro jan 3!! how many more days!?! come on! come on!!!!!!

Hugs x x teapot :) goose opened the floodgates there, I was welling up too because she was brutally honest and in the past I'd have been gone from here like a rocket. Abandoning myself at the same time. It made me so sad that I had been so dishonest about it all before. If I'd done like goose...

U know what, I pledge more than 25lbs for Jan, I pledge total honesty with myself about my weight. How many times I've destroyed my chances by being secretive about my eating or little slips. I made a million excuses. I was lying to myself. I was cowardly. I even lied to those who were...

Goose don't beat yourself up. U haven't let any of us down, I'm sure they're all thinking the same as me... she's in the 8s!!! Hahaa. I was probably 8st something when I was 4!!!! Lol! I think if u just put this behind u, consider it an impromptu holiday and start jan2 as u intend. U have...

I'm looking forward to the weigh ins this week for ye girls, sounds like wild horses wouldn't deter over Xmas. Must be so so proud of yourselves. Great stuff!! X

Newgirl I'm the same as u, even on diets I find myself glued to food channels!! It felt like I was making it and eating it. Weird really. I'd be smelling it too and that would kill the need. For a short while! 3 weeks in at 100% I'd say ur feeling pretty good and unstoppable. Keep up the...

Her husband was complimenting u aswell? Haha red alert for her! Lol. That's the thing isn't it, I find it very interesting how obese people are invisible. As big as I am, I'm totally invisible to most. Men in particular. Women tend to make time to give me the bad eye. But I remember when...
