[anne-mariep]

Well Done on your loss. Ive requested all of you be my friends on facebook sorry only read your messages tonight been in a land of my own last few days.

Mary well done on your loss. I think your will power is fantastic I always ask myself are you really hungry and its always no but i have caved a good few times. I miss the shakes and more so ketosis I feel like ive lost control and I hate feeling hungry or just wanting something to eat at least with the shakes you could just say im not allowed anything but water and shakes now we are allowed everything. (in moderation of course haha).

My heads not really in the right place at the moment to be coming on here and offering advice as I am not really watching what I am doing at the moment. I think with the non smoking for the last 5 weeks and 3 days has really side tracked me. Put on a few lbs, but nothing major. I will pop on here every now and again, but until the new year, I have officially popped out of MY thread. I will still be popping in to see you girlies.

 

[summergurl]

awwwwwwwwwwww mary Dont be a stranger and take care of yourself and of course, have a lovely christmas & new year xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Forgot to add; you and Jan have been my inspirations here on LT and especially on maintainence so dont be leaving for good missy and dont be going mad and undoing all the hard work you did.

Oh, and keep off the ciggies

:hug99:

Aww dont worry chick, I will still be here on most days, just feel a bit of a fraud to keep updating my maintenance diary when I am not maintaining at the moment. Just consider it a few weeks holiday - but as Arnie says "I will be back"

 

[anne-mariep]

Oh Hun sorry your not feeling in the right head space but I will definitely expect you back doing your thread again. Have a brilliant Christmas & New Years and remember what Tanya says you are an inspiration to us all and even if you gain some weight which is part of life you are still an inspiration. Don't be a stranger and Keep up the good work on staying off them demon killer sticks(smokes haha). xxxxxxxxxxxx

Understand

Just consider it a few weeks holiday - but as Arnie says "I will be back"

Holding you to that one mrs

 

[JanD]

Well Mrs Arnie!!

I've just deleted "sorry you're not in the right head-space" because who's to say what head space is 'right' for you at the moment??
Giving up smoking is one of the hardest things to do and being kind to/letting up on yourself for a little while while you break the back of it is probably exactly the head space you need to be in.

As long as you keep off them and don't let the weight thing slide too far you'll be fine.

As Tan says - don't be a stranger and if you need someone to talk to who knows what it's like msg, txt or ring me. Remember how time flies - I cannot believe it's 10 years in March since I packed them in and neither can anybody else. However I still clearly remember what it was like and the main reason I'll never touch another fag is because i know I could never do it again.

So hang on in there girl - enjoy Christmas and the New Year - it truly will be 'New Year - New You' and a much healthier one at that!

Lots of Love xx

Thank you so much everyone. I am feeling good, regarding no smoking and the cravings are very minimal. Like you say Jan, it is the right head space for me at the moment, so I am officially on holiday.

See you all January on my maintenance - ya dont get rid of Arnie that easily.

 

[JanD]

GOOD!!! xx

Hi Everyone,

I ahve bitten the bull by the horns and made an appt for Friday afternoon at 4:15 to see the pharmacist. I had a good talk to her on the phone today and explained that I had maintained well until Oct. She said its fine for me to go back to lipotrim and 3-4 weeks should be sufficient for me.

Woohoo, really looking forward to starting back and getting some sort of routine back in my life regarding food.

Ready for it.........Phase 3 begins.

Phase 1 - lose bulk of weight and maintain. - Done.
Phase 2 - stop smoking. - Done.
Phase 3 - Lose the weight gained from stopping smoking.

Fit at 50 and healthy..........woohoo.

 

[JanD]

WooHoo indeed girl!! Go YOU! xx

 

[summergurl]

Extra whooooooooooooooooooooo from me!!! :banana dancer:

 

[glammam]

First of all well done for stopping smoking and good luck for your restart. I have put on around a stone the last few months. Been a right pig on hols and over Christmas! I started again last Tuesday and lost 10 1/2 lbs! It isnt that bad the second time around. I'll probably re-feed after this week though. I think that when yoy loose track with your eating (like I did!) a short period on TFR is the best thing you can do to get back on track. I cant wait to start eating lovely healthy meals now, whereas a couple of weeks ago if it wasn't covered in chocolate I didnt want to know!

Anyway all the best xx

Thanks everyone and good luck glammam and well done on your marvellous loss.

Well done Mary, I'm restarting again to get back on track, knowing i'm not the only one has helped me alot. thanks again. I look forward to seeing your progress. xxxx Well done on not smoking over christmas.

Hi All,

Well I am back on lipotrim as of yesterday.
I gained 1 stone 3lbs since stopping smoking, so time to get it shifted again.

I am back up to 11st 5lbs and my aim is to get back to around the 10 stone mark.

I actually started lipotrim yesterday and day 1 went really good. It was surprising how much I actually enjoyed the shakes. I had a coffee vanilla one for breakfast, yummy strawberry one for lunch and a chocolate/mint one for supper.

Being the serial weigher that I am, I had a sneak on the scales this morning before work and I have lost 3lbs since yesterday - bring it on.

Good luck Anne Marie and Iris.
