Misscolumbo, 2lb is a ally good weight loss considering how low your weight is but I do totally understand your point and think at the Pharmacist should be much more supportive of you. Hope they let you stay on it and get to YOUR goal and not THEIR goal for you. Best of luck for next week xx
TUESDAY WEIGH IN CLUB........
- Thread starter Ms R
- Start date
Goose, I know how you feel, I've been there myself with a crappy weight loss after being soooo good and it's a killer. Nothing I say will make you feel better about it, time will however make you feel better so I just hope the time goes quickly for you so you can start to feel better.
I have to say however, your have an incredibly healthy BMI and you are quite a low weight for your height. I reckon you must be looking soooo skinny now with those statistics so try not to be too disappointed. Good luck for next week and here's a great big hug for you too xxx

Hey Ms R, I know this is going to be no consolation to you but well done, 3lbs is a good loss. I know you really wanted to be at goal for Christmas and it will take you a few days to come to terms with this. But lets assume you'll lose 10lbs in the next 3 weeks, this will leave you with 7lbs to go to reach your goal. Then you have a decision to make on whether you carry on for 2/3 weeks or refeed for Christmas then get straight back on TFR. There is some thought that a small break, eating very healthy is good for your body and boosts your weight losses afterwards. If you stick to 1 meal a day like you said in your post you should find it relatively easy to go back on to TFR afterwards. You'll get to goal in January one way or another. Best wishes to you.
3lb for me this week!! I'm actually really happy with that! I can officially say I have lost exactly 2 stone in 6 weeks! Can't complain... U can't have fantastic losses every week!
Just 3 days left of TFR a I am refeeding on Saturday! Eeeek the thought terrifies me! Anyway hoping these 3 days I can loose a pound before refeed! Every little helps haha

Hi all well first weigh in today and lost 8 and 3/4 lbs so not bad going
Awww goose don't be disheartened! I had a few rubbish weeks but I always had a fantastic one the following week! Your body does different thing different times of the month and there's no explanation for it!
I remember few weeks ago I had weighed mid week an lost 5 lbs and by time my weigh In at the pharmacy came I had only lost 2 so technically gaine the other 3lb I lost and I didn't even have my period or exercise!! But then the following week. Lost 5 lb... So I'm sure the scales will show u a magnificent loss next week! And bare in mind u haven't got a lot to loose so that half a pound is prob all ur body physically wants to go ha
Keep ya was up you've done incredibly so far!
Aww 3 lb is a really good loss ms r! I've last that this week and I'm quite satisfied with tht! I realise we all wanna get a much off as we can tho so I no how I feel!!
I'm now healthy bmi but would love to loose another half stone but I have no time and have to refeed before I go away next week! In gutted about it as would like to carry on!
if u add up all u have lost overall you should feel proud of yourself! You've done remarkably ...don't beat yaself up about it u tried ya best and u lost a good amount x

thanks hun for replying. your commetns have really made m feel better. hopefully a good loss nxt week. abou ppl sayin you are going to far, u set a goal YOU are happy with it. ppl can say that for a numbr of good reasons, either good intentions or bad intentions but u stick to what you want to get to and dont let anyway sway you. I guess cos when you say 8 stne it sounds very low but you are tiny and you know what is right for you. keep going xxx

awww I know how youfeel Mrs R, if you constanlty plan n oganise like me what you plan to be, wen you plan to refeed etc etc and it desnt go to plan its psycholgically upsetting. maybe a braek will shake up ure metabolims? im hoping mine will. I really nevr wanted to come back on this in january but I juthve to accept it i guess which has taken me a while to get my head round. i guess we do lipotrim because we want fast results thats why we are willing to suffer so much!!! and when that doesnt hppen you think wht the hell!! why bother! but i guess overall on aVLCD you lose more and thats how we need to see it. i guess for me in 4 weeks ive lost 10lbs and actaully thats sounds much bewtter. maybe we needto see a 4 weekly loss as tht will give a better picture. i hopeyou decide what todo,if your not sure start a thread in the main forum and ppl can give u there opiniosn and ideas but i do like yur suggestion of a 4 day refeed, i think it will work. I hve had to eat on certain occasions, not done a refeed b4 as things sprung up all of a sdden but alway hd a small (very small) amount and went for high protein foods like meat and avoided all carbs completly and still had good losses.

I'm convinced its water especially as its your totm. Probably a bit too much info but I always get achy boobs when I have water retention! Even when I refed a couple of weeks ago my boobs ached and I knew - even though i couldnt weigh myself- that it was water weight going on as that didn't happen the time before!
I'm 9 st 10 and a size 10 waist now. My boobs have always been massive however so I'm now getting into a 12 on top. It's bizarre because I've had to buy new trousers over the last two weeks and still can't get my head around buying size 10's. I think the 10s are still a bit roomy but in some ways I refuse to even consider trying an 8 because I see myself as a 12 at least! What size are you now? Xxx

My original goals were the same as yours MRS R and I had to refeed at my revised goal of 10.6 due to weddings etc. I stayed at that weight for two months whilst I maintained and came back last month to reach my first goal which I have now done. The benefits in refeeding and maintaining is that when you go back to TFR you get a big loss the first week and don't need to be on TFR as long as you would if you were only loosing 2lbs per week!
Everyone is always on a detox or diet in January so i find it easier to diet in Jan anyway, as no one really goes out either. I've still lost weight when ive had one chicken salad a day so with your suggestion above you may find you could still loose weight.. However with a 4 day refeed you may find you put on a little water when you start to re- introduce potatos etc
I'm also attaching my picture again for you of 12 packs of butter which equate to 3lb so you can see how much fat you've lost this week! its loads! if you can't see it very well pop into a supermarket Tom! It made me feel loads better!
You ve done so well so far and You certainly have not failed to me! Xxx

Thanks ladies - I'm more than fine with 2lb this week as that has pretty much been the pattern of my losses on this plan. I'm just narked at people (who should really know better) coming over all "are you sure you haven't got a problem" when my BMI is a more than healthy 24.5.
