Lipotrim for 2 weeks then a 2 week refeed
Drastic! Is it considered an emergency Jan?

Oh God no - couldn't face that .....
... not sure I understand what you mean by 'emergency' Sandra ... not sure any desirable weight loss outcome could be described as an 'emergency' - nobody in the world will know whether I'm the weight I want to be, nor will I look any different - it's purely how I'll feel in myself, which is the most important thing imho
.... as we speak I have a HUGE stockpot of 'negative calorie' soup on the stove. I'm gonna have that for 3 days (while I'm working - from tomorrow) & see what happens.
Either the world, my body or my scales have gone mad. Sunday I was showing 1lb loss, yesterday that changed to 0.2lb loss - today that became 0.2lb gain!! I'm going to take the official monday wi of the 0.2lb loss.
If the soup doesn't get me moving in a downward direction on the scale I may have to consider giving up the alcohol **SHOCK**HORROR**
Can't even be bothered documenting what I've had today .... I've been 'good' but that doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference these days xx

Its more difficult the second time around too, not as easy as when I was first on it.
I done it last year for about 3 weeks after I stopped smoking and had the gain, but then I struggled.
I have still never got back to my initial weight after lipotrim, I need to give it a really good serious bash after this week. Plus I have my biggest loser challenge coming, so that should help.

I'm looking forward to hearing what that's all about - but I can't kid myself I'll start and stick to any exercise programme - I'm hopeless really - it's a wonder I've managed to do what I have when you consider I won't give up the alcohol or get off my @rse :giggle: xx

Emergency for me Jan would be a dress that necessitates a 5lb loss to zip up!
Could you really not take up walking or something like cycling? Or...........no alcohol until you go on holiday? Can't be that difficult can it?
Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn.......I hardly drink these days so it's easy for me to say:sigh:

Nothing doesn't do up ... not with all that elastic!
Can't ride a bike - never had one as a child and when I got myself one as an adult thinking 'can't be that hard' all I did was fall off it ... the best thing about that was it gave my daughter a good laugh - however being laughed at has never been one of my strong points so I gave up!
While I don't do any form of exercise I think it's fairly obvious that -looking after my elderly mother (wheelchair in and out of car, pushing it around etc etc as well as looking after her house + my own) and then my grandsons (2&4 year olds again today) and all the running round that that entails - I don't ACTUALLY sit on my @rse all day. In fact it's when I'm at work that I do the most sitting around - it's even in the job title 'night sitter' lol! It's formal exercise I don't get on with - I seem to be able to do things for so long but when it becomes a 'regime' I rebel. I realise it may be a flaw in my character but I can't abide regular 'routine' much preferring spontaneity. Of course life can't be like that all the time - maybe that's why I rebel against it when I can ... who knows?? .... still I've lost and kept off 4.5-5st for over 18months so I'm not doing TOOOOOOO bad xx

I will be sure to let you know all about it when it arrives.

Looking at the sort of heavy manual work that you do with your Mum, besides cleaning and looking after the Grandkids, I think you are entitled to not have to go to any lengths for exercise. After all, this is just as good.
Absolutely cracking job at keeping that weight off for all this time Jan - hands up to ye Mrs D

That's the answer then, more elastic!
Seriously, your life sounds like hard work! As you say, you're doing something right so I guess it's either accept that were getting a wee bit older and are going to hold on to a few more lbs or, dare I mention it again?? Cut out the booze
That said, I can't accept why we can't weigh what we want to weigh either, that bloody irritating half a stone

Awww thanks Mary ... it's just when I see all you guys do in terms of 'exercise' I feel a tad inadequate, but at the same time in the daytime (when not working and so in bed) I'm never actually idle :sigh: I don't know .. never satisfied ...
... still don't know what I'd do without this place to come and have a moan on xx

The only exercise I do really is walking the dog 5 times a week. Apart from that, its walking up and down these stairs every time I go for a fag
