Hi Chelly,
Firstly I'd like to commend you for coming on here and admitting to the lack of maintenance control. i too have been in the same boat for the last 2 months and have wanted to come online and say something about it but completely chickened out. Anyways after reading this thread you all have given me the courage to say whats been going on with me too. I've put on a stone since coming off tfr even though I have been using the maintenance products the whole time. I really have such bad disipline and lack of control when it comes to food. It actually scares me to think how if i dont get this weight down now its only going to get higher. I too did consider going back onto tfr but to be honest i screwed up big time on the refeed week as it was so theres prob no point me doing it. Other worries i have had is my hair loss, I;ve always had really thick lovely hair and during the diet i had a little bit of a hair loss but towards the end and even still now it is falling out in clumps! im so scared that soon i will be left with no hair if this continues. I dont know what to do!!
I have to say that although im so much happier with my smaller self i have never been through such a massive head f**ck as i did when doing this diet. I was very lucky to have done it at the same time as my friend so we had eachother for support. Those of you who are doing the Lipotrim diet on your own amaze me with your will power and strength, there is no way i could have done it.
Chelcie if we focus from here on now as much as we can as difficult as we have both found it so far we will get our weight down again. we have to!! we've worked so hard to get to where we wanted to that we cant let it go now. I want you to know that im here for support if you need me too. 8lbs isnt that bad in 4months in the grand scheme of things, what we need to do is change our eating patterns for life.
anyways sorry for the ranting guys i just needed to get that out of me. I hope this finds you all well x
Chells!!!!!!!!!!
Just saw this post and thought id come in and have a goose!
Are you doing ok now?
Ya know, we could always do this together, i have my holiday weight and about a stone to lose to get to my goal so ya know we can always help each other - even though you have less to lose!
Like others have said, you had the willpower on LT now its just getting that willpower off LT. And i agree, its bloody hard isnt it!!
Am on my first day of refeed/maintenence and i only got back from hols yesterday so still feel all holidayish and its damn hard to not pick at all the yummy food - but if i can get through this day burd you can do it!!
We need a support group...perhaps 'Did it on Lipotrim but need help to try to live without it' group !!!
