Day 23 today, 17lb down already. I started the diet saying I wouldn't bother to weigh, but I'm actually weighing every 2-3 days at the moment & updating myfitnesspal & here with every loss, but doing my official weekly weigh in on fridays.
I love all of the shakes & soups, don't use bars regularly as I only got 1 bumper pack out of 3 with them in to discourage me from using them too often - they are only for when I am truly too busy to take a minute and make a shake up with tap water, or will be out of the house away from tap water for ages. I am mostly on TS, but occasionally replace a pack with a couple of eggs as I get free eggs every 3 weeks when the farmer brings me hay for the horses and I need to use them up!
I fill up a 2L bottle of water every morning and ensure that I drink that plus 2-3 cups of herbal tea plus extra water with my shakes as an absolute minimum, but usually put away 4 litres.
I've looked back at my lipotrim diary from 4.5 years ago and I know that at day 26 I had lost 21lb on that, so I'm not far behind my progress back then.
Clothes wise I am comfortably back into my size 18 work trousers from my size 20s being tight, my size 18 combats are very comfy indeed, my size 20 jeans are in the charity shop bag as they are way too baggy.
I am trying a new tactic of wearing a bra 24/7 to see if that helps my boobs to be a bit less yeuch when I get down to a decent BMI.
Goal is 8-8.5 stone, not sure yet. 7 12 is tempting as that would be a 100lb loss but I'm not sure it's that important!
I have my year planned out as TS until 15 July, WS while I work away for 7 weeks, TS for 4 weeks til I go on holiday, low carb on holiday, TS until goal or end of year, whichever comes first.
