I think you need to go back to the the Ticker Factory website and copy & paste the code again (make sure you get everything in the box) and then you should just be able to click on it to update it.

Well done alz4jono. I know what you mean on the wondering whether it will be worth it. I have to just get through each day one day at a time. I daren't think about how long I will be on this or I might get down...

hiya, hope your still doin ok, when is your first weigh-in? good luck for whenever it is!
i'm really happy with my loss but still taking things one day at a time, it's not that it's hard or even awful but just scary to think of not eating proper food for a long time!
hopefully the hell of the first few days taught me a massive lesson about letting myself get this big to start with!!.. i'm never going back there again
let us know how your doing

I'm ok. I only lost 2 lbs this week which was a bit disapointing since I have a lot to lose and have stuck to this religiously. I am sticking to it a day at a time. I suppose it could have been worse - I could have lost 0lbs or put weight on somehow!

hello again, sorry i've been away
aww i hope your not too disheartened, it's better off than on
do you think your drinking enough fluid? my pharmacist said thats what happens if your not hydrated enough!....maybe it means you'll have a really good loss this week
i thought my loss was small as other girls i know were losing 11-12lb every week but i was reassured to hear that apparantly thats because they were larger ladies to start with, the bigger you are the more you lose!...strange but true
i agree with you about the 1 day at a time tactic, i'm not struggling (yet) but still hate the thought of not being able to socialise the same ect!

I'm ok. I was a bit disapointed since I was hoping that I would be really pleasantly surprised. But I am ok. I am just going to see how this week goes - a day at a time.

thats the best thing to do i think
i'm desperately in need of some variety, it's got a bit monotonous just having water & strawberry shake day in day out
i keep asking to try the vanilla flavour but they reckon they can't get any...funny how they can't get chicken soup or the flapjacks either!! i reckon they're not even bothering to order them! but i am going to get some of the choc flavour this week

At least at the chemist I go to they have a good supply of the shake flavours/soups - although I couldn't eat the soup. I am glad I like all 3 shake flavours as that means I have the variety of them. I am trying to drink lots of redbush tea/water in the day to keep myself hydrated....
I hope your chemist stocks up on the other flavours so you can try them soon.

vanilla would of been my first choice but wasn't available so got strawberry, my own fault i declined choc though as don't usually like choc flavoured things as i find them a bit bitter! she persueded me to take one sachet last friday saying it was really nice...she wasn't wrong lol, now i can't wait till friday to get some more

hi moon, hope your hanging in there
i've struggled a bit the last few days but i'm hoping the excitement of getting some choc shakes today gives me a boost :break_diet:

here's hoping we've both done ok
let me know how your getting on

Good luck with the weigh in. I am sure we all have trying times that make us want to stop doing this - I know my first few days were the worst. I miss savoury food as the shakes just provide a sweet flavour - but if this helps me to lose a good amount of weight more quickly and get to a healthy level sooner, while giving me a break to rethink my eating behaviours it should be good for me.
You are doing really well. It is doing something kind for ourselves not punishment.
I'm ok. Although at work I am having to be careful if I bend down not to get up too quick or I feel a bit giddy, like I might faint? I got this yesterday and may mention it to the chemist - I think it is ok as long as get up slowly! I am trying to drink lots more water and think I feel better for it - dehydration is not good for the mind or soul.
The chocolate shakes are probably the nicest ones - although I am ok with the strawberry and vanilla too (fortunately my chemist has those).
My chemist said they dont measure the ketones there - I'm wondering if that is usual? I'm worried that if I tell them about the faint feeling they might say they don't measure blood pressure either and won't let me continue? I don't usually have a blood pressure problem so it shouldn't be serious....
I have my weigh in tomorrow. I hope I have continued to lose and maybe a little more this week - but I don't want to build my expectations too high so I am trying not to think about it.

hey there
i discussed the same thing with pharmacist today, dizzy if i stand or turn quickly, she told me to see the G.P to have blood pressure checked!
they don't check ketones either but said she knows im in ketosis as it gives of a distinct fruity kind of ouder from your breath!! eew! you can tell yourself when you get like a horrible coating on your teeth, it makes me feel like i want to clean them all the time so i use the "nu phar" breath freshner strips available in any chemist that does lipotrim
wey-hey they had all 3 flavours today so i'm feeling much chirpier lol, love the vanilla & the choc but maybe as i was desperate to brake the monotony
i lost 5.5lb this time but they said that was fab & good indicator i'm sticking to it
got my fingers crossed for your weigh-in tommorrow.. good luck

Good to hear you got a selection of shakes and now have a wider menu! I suppose I shall need to go to the doctors then - just for a check up. Well done on your weight loss. I'm trying not to get hung up on the figures. Someone reckoned I look a bit thinner. I told her I don't want to get too optimistic about the weigh in tomorow in case I get disapointed.
I think I may have felt that coating on the teeth feeling. I probably have dreadful breath - I am trying not to breathe over people!

loli know exactly what you mean about not breathing over people i'm quite paranoid since chemist said that but my fella said it doesn't smell (thankfully)
i can't see where i'm losing it from but lots of people say my face & bum lol
it sounds like your in a really good mindset if your not getting hung up on numbers... i always tell myself even half a pound off is good because if you put a half lb block of lard on a plate you can say " I just shed that from my body" & " i don't want to carry that again" better still imagine eating it!!!....eew no chance so don't eat the equivlent in food..i never will again so works for me
good luck today

I was weighed today and I lost 8 pounds this week. That means I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks which is good. It is progress. They took my blood pressure at the chemist and said it was a bit low but not too much to get worried about. They said they would check it next week. They told me to try to drink more water too. I also got some of the fibre powder because I don't think I have been as regular - so I thought I would get some. Obviously if I feel ill before next week's weigh in I might pop to the doctor - but otherwise I am ok.
