[*]Looking back over at the 5 weeks seems shorter than looking forward to the 5 weeks ahead.
[*]Still weeing every 15 mins
[*]I now look forward to the shakes and the soup..... yes,even the soup
[*]I now dont feel hungry.
[*]I miss being greedy and eating because something looks nice or smells nice and not because I feel hungry.
[*]I have had some "harrowing" toilet moments so now know to take Senokot every 3rd day
[*]I need some more clothes as I look a bugger in mine.
[*]Can see parts of me I have not seen in 20 years
[*]Even my head has shrunk. I wear a crash helmet and when I turn my head it turns but the helmet stays pointing forward.
[*]Some friends and family are jealous and try and discourage me with Old Wives tales about sudden weight loss and how it will kill me. Forgetting that at 18 stone I had a heart attack that nearly did.
[*]I can run on the tread mill.
[*]Thugs and idiots have stopped shouting things like " go for it fatty" when I am out cycling.
[*]My wife is still as supportive as she was on day one and I love her for that.
[*]My 17 year old daughter is still as supportive as she was on day one and I love her for that.
[*]My dodgy knees dont hurt as much when I walk up the stairs, infact dont hurt at all (touch wood)
[*]I have found the support on this site outstanding and without would have crumbled by now.
[*]I hope people just starting on their diet see my post as an inspiration and not a boast.
[*]I take pride that I am still 100% TFR
There is a 19, 20 etc.... probably up to a 100 of things I now know about being on Lipotrim but the main thing is, there will be huge ups and downs, great days and **** days, but if you just keep going one day becomes, 2 days, becomes a week, becomes 2 weeks, becomes a month and you will get there. !
Day 35 .... total loss = 37 lb...
Total gain= Confidence and a renewed determination !
