I dont know if I can do this anymore!

hey hun,

try and stick to it - its sooooo worth it Trust me i obsess about food so much that i even dream about eating! I have had 2 rotten colds - am off work today and feel like death warmed up - BUT when i saw my rellies in Ireland they were really impressed with the weightloss - things like that keep me going!

You have done brilliantly and just think you don't want to be big bride.....you wanna be the star on your big day

Hey thanx hun, I hope you feel better soon. It is an amazing feeling when people tell you that you have lost weight. I think I need to record a few of these and keep playing it back to myself when i feel down.

No i dont wanna be a big bride! I wanna be a sexy one!

It's good to have ya back babes and wow! you've gone down all those sizes!? that is awesome.

I know things get tough, but look at the results, you really can do it

Thank you honey, your a star. The size thing really shocked me too. I only checked after reading one of your threads that you did!!

great advice FR!

LT is hard long term, after 10 weeks i have had enough myself - being ill and getting totm on LT is hideous.

Oopsie, cant find Fragglerocks quote, but thank you! I will discuss with my pharmacy on friday but to be honest with you I dont find them to be much support. I have had days when Ive lost 3-4lbs and I'd get told "not bad" and they all have this attitude that everyones gonna give up, no one sticks to it etc... sometimes I feel that they are waiting for me to give up and no way is that gonna happen!

You've done great so far - just want to echo Rachieroo's point. i lurked for a good week or so before i joined here and started LT last week.

So many people here - like you - are an inspiration, that's the truth.

Best of luck, I really hope your determination and hard work so far keeps pushing you through.

Thanx elle, thats so sweet of you! Im gonna stay strong! Coz if everyone else can do it I can too!

hi ftb, all i can say is u have been one of my main inspirations since starting LT!!! pleeeeze stay positive u have done so well so far it really would be such a shame for u to stop now....keep ya chin up babe u can do it !! good luck!! x

Hey sparkle, thanx babe. Your right it would be a big shame if I gave up now. It really isnt an option. I just have to keep my head screwed on right!

Hey FTB, I hope you are feeling a little better today. This diet does make you play mind games with yourself. The fact that you have a little nibble (oo er misses) on the odd occasion tricks your brain into wanting food. It's breaking the habit that is tricky, especially when you have been on the lipotrim for a while, and then nibble because then the brain thinks oo lovely whens the next lot coming. I hope that makes sense, I know what I'm trying to say .
Hairloss is very depressing in itself. I did Lipotrim last year for 16 weeks and lost 4 stone. I then re-fed for my holiday and had servere hairloss.So much so that I was adviced to stop and let my body recover before starting again(which I have done). My hair is growing back (relief). I have ordered some supplements this time around and am waiting for the delivery. I hope they work. I found them by searching hairloss on this forum. THIS SERVERE HAIRLOSS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO EVERYONE so I don't want to alarm anyone. Slight hairloss is more common.
Talk to the chemist and see what they suggest. I hope you find your way hun.

Hey that makes perfect sense. Thanx. So do these hair supplements not knock you out of ketosis? Im really worried that Im gonna be a bald bride coz to be honest I am planning on doing LT right up till August-September and my wedding is at the beginning of October.

FBTB you are utterly gorgeous and you will be even more so when your slinking around in your size 12's (actually not sure what size you want to be, but anyway..).

You have worked so hard and the difference in your photos ia already amazing. I really hope you decide to carry on.

Maybe it would be worth checking out CD not only for the variety (the option of a bar thats edible - unlike the LT flapjack - might ease the craving to eat) but also to have a CDC to sit down with and maybe SS+ on weeks that are really tough. I think they do an SS+ week every 13 weeks anyway?

Do what's best for you, just make sure you don't have any regrets. Remember we'll be here to offer support no matter what you decide.

Thanx soph. I have been considering CD as I know alot of people who have swapped from LT to CD and are finding it alot better. A slinky size 12 will do me just fine lol

Hopefully you are feeling better today. Just think of what made you come onto TFR in the first place and hopefully your motivation will come back.

You have done brilliantly so far and you can overcome these feelings and become the slimmer bride that you want to be. Come on hun, chin up, glug that water and stick to those shakes.

Thanx kered! xx I have been sat here today making a list of all the reasons why I want to lose weight. And to be honest some of those reasons have really made me cry. But its made me more focused

Of course reading everyones encouraging words has helped so much. You are all a bunch of extremely supportive and amazing people and I cant thank you enough for all the support and advice you've given me.

BIG HUG! mwah

The doctor originally adviced me to take a good quality multi vitamin. When i ask about knocking me out of ketosis she said it would be minimal. I have taken the vitamins and have not felt any different , but will know on Thursday when they check my water for ketones.I've had a sneaky weigh in and i've still lost so fingers crossed. If your Pharmasist is not very good you could always call lipotrim for some advice. It seems to be the people with thick hair lose the most, but i expect that would make sense really. I always thought that I could handle the hairloss, but until it happens to you its hard to understand just how upsetting it is.
I still love this diet though

 

[Kay]

Oh yeah I nearly forgot, Here are some hugs from me too (((((hugs))))

 

[MrsFatBum]

awww thanx huni. I will definitely check. Well I had really thick hair to start off with maybe thats why im noticing it so much too. let me know how ur weigh in goes and your ketosis thing too. my pharmacist told me that i should not be taking any multivitamins as the diet gives me everything i need (explain the hair loss then!! grr) and also told me not to take hair vits as they would most definitely knock me out of ketosis.

Theres no winning! But yeah I think I will give Lipotrim a call. I just worry because I was aware that my hair would fall but I didnt realise it would be this much and so soon!

hey again
just got round to watching the LT vid on the website (snoozefest or what?! they could do with investing some money in a decent video I think...). Anyhoo, they mentioned hair thinning and hair loss and said it's temporary so fingers crossed that soon you'll go back to your lovely locks. :hug99:
