Mission Possible

[squishymcfatterson]

I will NEVER have a bikini body!! No matter how skinny i get i always have a little lower belly pooch. I HATE it!!

Day 3. Shake one being consumed. Weighed in at 10st2lbs.

1st 9lbs to get back to goal. I wonder how long it'll take....

Hope ure day is going well squishy

Oh yes, I have the pooch too Goose. I blame my child! It has reduced a lot since losing weight, thankfully. I think it will be fine if I get one of those sexy 50's style bikinis with the highish waist?!

Day has gone well so far. First meal at 11, second at 6 and going to have my soup shortly. Pretty hungry, and cold, but trying to keep myself busy. Already feeling slimmer but could be psychological. I won't know until Monday morning as hubby has hidden my scales. Looking forward to seeing how much I've lost.

Bought a tight size 10 dress today and love it. Needed a replacement for my "interview dress" as it's far too big now. Not that I have ANY interviews coming up, but I am meeting a new recruiter tomorrow so hoping something comes of that.

Day 4 nearly done and dusted. Feeling a little weak but nothing major. I have a hockey match tomorrow morning so a little worried about how I'll manage to run around for 70 minutes!

Couldn't sleep last night so was thinking about targets to pass some time! So I definitely want to get to 9st 5lb (3 stone or 42lb off). Then I'm tempted to get to the 8's. Just for the sheer hell of being in the 8's really. But also because I'm not sure I'll be 100% happy with my body at 9st 5lb. So do I aim for 3.5 stone off? That would be 8st 12lb. Or if I'm aiming for that, should I just aim for 8st 11lb which would be a nice even 50lb off?!!

Ugh, will I ever be 100% happy? I always want to lose a little bit more. Obviously I don't want to turn into a twig as I'd never maintain. I'd like to think that if I got to 8st 11/12lb, that that could be my lower limit and that I could float around the 9 mark?

I'm thinking too far ahead really! I need to take it week by week, weigh in by weigh in.

Have a great weekend all! X

Day 4 nearly done for me too! Having my last shake. Wanted to cave soooo many times today. I even did a pregnancy test (we are trying...i lost weight cos i didnt want to be fat n preggers n ironically im putting it on!!) well i thought i know, ill do a pregnancy test, if im pregnant it means i can eat!! And than thought of all the foods i would eat not about how happy/cr*ppin myself if i was pregnant!!! Its quite funny as i type it now!! Oh n test was negative, but im sure i peed out such diluted wee cos of all the water! Lol

Squishy we are pretty much the same height, i got down to 8st 6lb and hubby said i looked to skinny (i have so many blobby bits tho!!) and he says to stop at 9st. I keep thinking about it but the more i think n plan the more worked i get. Just need to take one day at a time.

 

[goose]

Oh and also i dont think i could ever get back down to thT weight with other diets. Wen i did WW and exercised loads i never got under 9. I think its the whole ketosis/ fat burning that got me in the 8's. wish i was at target instead if having lost the plot

 

[goose]

Well done you guys- you will get there in no time. Admire your dedication!

Goose- have you ever tried one of those ab belt thing-ys? I got one from Amazon before Christmas and I feel like it helps zap the pooch without killing your back doing bazillions of crunches.

No i havent!! Tell me more! Ive got a dreaded B belly, upper belly button pooch and lower belly button pooch. Hate it so much and find it so hard doing ab work cos my back seems to strain a little and i can never get form right. My upper pooch has alwYs been small but wen i fell on and off the wAgon with lipotrim after christmas, all the weight's gone there, im really quite upset about thT as i loved wearing belts on my waist but feel to blobby there now. I guess thTs motivation not to cheat!!

 

[goose]

Goose, RawrGirl can't wear a bikini either...until she can get surgery done on post-pregnancy pooch (folds and folds of wrinkly, excess skin :cry. That's why she picked this swimsuit...sexy yet still covers. Of course there will be a belly bulge, but she's hoping that in this suit no one will be looking there, lol.

So RawrGirl's goal at this point is to get her hips and waist not squishy enough to wear something like this. And maybe just maybe there will come a day when her thighs don't touch. *sigh*

Wow u will looked frickin awesome in that!!

Oh goose you crack me up! Sorry you're not pregnant (or am I sorry you can't eat?!! Ha ha!) oh man I can't wait to eat again too but I'm going to stick on TFR for as long as I can, while I can (I have nothing coming up any time soon where I would HAVE to eat, so now is a good time for me to diet)

Yes, I hear you about going too low. I subtley suggested to my mum today that I'd love to get into the 8's and she nearly killed me, saying I'd be far too scrawny. I just hate my fat bum and saddle bags but maybe they'll never be tiny eh? Also, every time I near my target, I make a new lower one. If I keep doing that, I'll never reach target so I need to be realistic. You're dead right. One day at a time. Much easier than trying to plan too far ahead. Have a great weekend my dear! X

 

[goose]

Hahahahaha!!!! U do make me laugh! No im ok about not being pregnant, im not at the point where im really upset or worried and happy for it to happen wen it happens. Its the hubby who really wants them, always has and me saying lets wait longer! But i feel ready to be a mum and happier and settled now I'm not living with my inlaws so i guess we're trying!

I think you are right squishy, i keep thinking how long i want to be on this but i like the idea of being on it as long as i can. I am quite upset about the amount i put on after i got to goal, how stupid and silly of me. It went on as fast, if not faster than it cAme of. Im 9st 13, after 4 days a loss of 8ish pounds. So still a little way to go. I think im going to aim for 9st 5, then 9st, then 8st 10. We'll just have to wait and see!

 

[squishymcfatterson]

V quick post as I'm running out the door but I'm taking a very unplanned break tonight from TFR, and confessing here beforehand! We had a night out planned but crazy snow here has put a stop to that as roads are dangerous. BUT baby is with my mum for the night so hubby and I are walking to local pub (first time in 2 years!) for a meal and a few drinks together. Fingers crossed it doesn't affect me too too much, but if it does, so be it. I'll be straight back on the wagon tomorrow and if this means an extra few days of dieting,I'm fine with that. Very excited to be going out, child free! X

 

[squishymcfatterson]

Had a lovely lovely night last night. Felt guilty for eating but enjoyed it at the same time, if that makes sense! Of course the temptation is there to just keep eating today but at the moment I'm having a cup of tea for breakfast and will continue with my TFR meals later on today. Back on the wagon in preparation for weigh-in tomorrow morning *drum roll*!

 

[tweekedgirl]

Sounds like you had a lovely meal Squishy! There's something comforting about pub grub isn't there lol. Anyway, nice to see that you're straight back on it again this morning x

You're definitely taking the right approach. If it happens it happens, or when it happens, it happens! We were the same with our baby. I see people putting so much pressure on themselves to get pregnant and the stress seems to delay it! Vicious cycle really!

Oh sure I did Lipotrim 5.5 years ago for my wedding and got to 10st, then thought I was immune to weight gain and ate whatever I wanted! Duh! I'm determined not to let that happen this time. We'd love to try for number 2 this year (if I ever get a JOB!!) and I am determined that if I do get pregnant that I don't pile on weight like I did the last time! My God I used it as such an excuse to stuff my face.

8lb in 4 days is fantastic! Fingers crossed the weight just falls off for us and we'll be summer ready in no time! X

 

[goose]

i am hoping the weight falls of too!! hubby is muchos upset with me, he doesnt want me carrying on with lpotrim (as if its no hard enough and than he wants me to come off - like I need an excuse!! lol) we went food shopping for the week n he was upset with me doing it, so I was filling our trolley full of goodies so that if he convinved me to come of it I could scoff them all how bad is that

well he was very upset and i can totally see his point, hes seen me loose it than put it on so he says the weight loss will neverbe sustainable and he wants me to eat, he says try to lose more if you want (bless him he does not have an issue if I STS, put more on etc, I know he loves me!), but tod it with healthy eating and exercse, I even said to him if the tables were turned Id probably be telling him the same thing.

I mean I came on and off lipotrim 5 or 6 times in the space of 6 week putting on 2 stone from my lightest. No wonder he is against it, but I was telling him its not to do with LT or VLCD, it was MY fault, I binged and ate loads, he obviously said no I didnt and i hadnt gone over bpoard with wht I was eating (but you see I was eating and binging in secret!! away from anyones eyes, stuffing my face) and I couldnt admit to him that this is what I was doing.

He says go on to JUDDDif I want, alternate fastng days and Ive been doing alot of research on th diet but dont think I'll lose the last bit of weight with it, I know LT is a gauranteed fool proo method where I WILL lose weght.

He has agreed reluctanlty (not that I need his permission! but it meands he wont be in a constant grump) to carry on till next Friday, do my refeed and than start JUDD.

Well I dont know if I will last till then! (I bledding well hope I do) but Im just going to cross that bridge when I come to it. im all in a pickle now, just had my coconut flpjack. Must get through today, Since my restart Ive not done a full week, so if I get through tomorrow It will be a full week of no cheating, I'm hoping I can stay strong as I know once the first week has passed t will be easier.

sorry for this complete ramble!!

Ugh, such a pain. I see his point too but you're right, it's not the diet's fault if people put weight on afterwards, it's THEIR fault for returning to the same old habits (me included...!!)

I've had a messy first week back too. Had that meal last night and then was so hungry feeding hubby and baby that I had some of their scrambled egg and bacon at dinner tonight. Only tiny bits but that's something I wouldn't have DREAMED of doing when I was on Lipotrim before Xmas. Ugh.

And now a friend has announced a meal and drinks on the 8th for her 30th. To be honest, rather than refeed for a full week beforehand, I think I'll just TFR right up to it, then continue the next day. I know people say that you end up sick or in pain if you drink or eat without a refeed but I feel fine today after last night. Just hungry lol!

I feel like I'm getting too cocky about the whole thing maybe?!

Ramble ramble ramble...!

 

[goose]

Completley agree squishy, the weight gain of the diet but wen we return to old habits, and on this occasion worse habits than before!

I would NEVER have dreamed of cheating before xmas, dnt know why its harder this time round. I have thorntons choccies and cookies on my coffee table staring at me whilst drinking my black coffee and i actually contemplated eating them!! Oh lord.

I think doing TFR up until the meal will be fine as long as you dont go crazy with what u eat. Again this is why hubby hates this diet, its so bleedin anti social!

I know- my eating habits in Jan were shocking! You'd think I was never going to see food again and I was eating anything I could get my hands on. So embarrassing actually and I would die if anyone knew what or how much I'd eaten.

Step AWAY from the chocolates!! I asked hubs to dig out the scales early (he usually takes them out of hiding Monday morning!!) so that I could weigh myself this evening and motivate myself not to eat. It's worked because I just weighed myself and it's looking good. Seriously though, how could I NOT lose when I've been doing TFR for most of the week bar one yummy meal (which I'm still thinking about) and one mouthful of eggs and bacon)?!

I think the best thing for me is to get to 9st5lb on my VLCD, which hopefully won't take too much longer, and then re-evaluate to see if I can (or need to) keep going til I reach the 8's. Once I hit 9st5lb I've "officially" reached target, and will even force more "after" pics on you poor lot! Any loss after that, I need to consider a bonus I think. Otherwise I'll never be bloody happy!

Oh god this is tough isn't it? Glad we have each other to moan to!! Have a good evening. I'm due a soup soon, oh the excitement of it all! X

 

[goose]

Im glad we have each other to moan to and i was the same... Eating like i was never going to see food again, and be totally embarrassed if anyone found out what i was eating.

Unfortunately hubby popped out for a bit and guess wat? I stuffed myself. Feel sick in myself and all the feelings i had with anxiety and self loathing during my january stops and starts are coming back. Id love to be skinny and feel hugely embarrassed that people have seen ive gained, but at what cost to myself? Full of self hate and loathing. I think i am going to try JUDDD for a while and exercise cos right now i dont know what other option i have.

Really want to cry.

Aw Hun, I feel for you, I really do. My best advice would be to step away from the Lipotrim for a while. Yes, you may come back to it again at some stage in your life, but it's not for you right now. Have you done JUDDD before? If not it might be really good for you to get stuck into a new diet. You know how keen we were starting Lipotrim, full of gusto and with fully polished halos?! Maybe you need that enthusiasm for a new diet!

God, I may be taking myself up on this advice if I can't stay on the straight and narrow in the next few weeks...

I'm so jealous that you had chocolate!! Drool...

 

[goose]

No need to feel jealous lol! U feel sick and regret it like mad.

Nope not tried juddd before but read around on this forum alot about it but still feel a bit clueless, i know the basic principles, enough to give it a go.

During january i honestly thought i was on the verge of depression, i have never felt so low. I have so much, not a life full of sheer bliss and happiness but a hell of a lot to be grateful for. And i just felt sick with anxiety and even took a week if work lying thT i gad novirus cos i felt i coulnt cope. I dont know how i got to that stage but cant bear to go back again.

I will see how i feel tomorrow morning. Weekdays are easier for me with hustle n bustle of work so if i can stick to lipotrim till friday i will but i really need a different approach that fits in a bit better with my life and helps me keep sane. If i get pregnant before i get to goal so be it, the other part of me is scared it'll take me ages to get pregnant.

Have to do a workshop tomorrow for parents and i was meant to do it with a colleague but she is off sick, im really worried about it and dont wanna do it so that is not helping either.

Ohhh could do with a hug!

 

[squishymcfatterson]

((((((Virtual Hug))))) you poor thing. Do whatever you need to do to

A. Stay happy, so you don't go back to where you were in January

And

B. Continue to lose weight to get back to where you want to be. Even if it comes off a bit slower, so what?! You're not a blimp!!

See how the week goes, one day at a time. Cheesy I know! Mmm, cheese....!!

Good luck tomorrow, you'll do great on your own. X
