Hello

I've been reading about all your fantastic progress and following you guys for a while now so i thought i'd say hello (again). This is my second time on lipotrim. Last November i managed to shift 31lb's in 5 weeks. I was so pleased with myself and never cheated on the diet once. 1 relationship meltdown later and i quit smoking have put me back here :cry:.

Any way, this time i have about the same to move. Week one went okay untill day 6 when i had a moment (or more) of madness and ate loads. I was dreading my first weigh in but i still managed to lose 10lb's although i knew i'd pay for the eating at the next weigh in. Thing is i haven't been back yet :break_diet: A few days after that i broke it again and then i'd manage another few days and did it again. This should be day 17 for me but instead its day one for like the forth time :cry:

It's my own fault i know, i just didn't realise how hard this was to get back into. I managed the last time without even having sweetener in my tea. This time i feel so deprived. I honestly think that it was the cigarettes that got me through it the last time and there's no way i want to revive that addiction although i have been having a few cravings lately but nothing i cant manage (I hope). I became a non-smoker 2months ago after 2 months of trying to quit. I smoked 20 a day and even more on the diet :eek:

I really want to do this for myself. I have two young girls who i still have to cook for but i don't understand how it didn't bother me last time and this time i dread mealtimes. I suppose if i hadn't broken the diet so many times i'd be well on my way now! The reason i'm posting this is to encourage me to keep going this time. I'l just feel twice as silly if i go and break it now again after talking about it.

Going to wait till next week to go back for a weigh in. Suppose there's not much point only being on day 1 and i have enough 'food'.

Well done everyone on your great losses and determination. Reading these posts is definitely what has me not wanting to throw in the towel.
 
Come on Charmed you CAN DO IT!!!! Be strong and remember why you want to lose weight in the first place!

Remember although it is hard at first once you get through the first couple of days ketosis kicks in and youll be well on your way to being a skinny minni!!!

I find that when im making teas I try and have my shake at the same time to stop me eating!

Come back here anytime you need a bit of encouragement and read some of the fantastic sucess stories - thats what keeps me going!

And remember you have done it before so you can do it again x x x
 
Welcome back and good luck in getting your head back in the zone......it is hard but once we reach the good old ketosis it should be plain sailing

Good luck....x
 
Well done for coming back to it and good luck with it this time. I always have my shakes or soup at the same meal times as my OH so I don't feel like I'm missing out. It's very brave to admit that you've failed in past but it won't happen again! You've got us lot to spur you on - we all want you to succeed! Here's to getting that weight off and proving to yourself it can be done! Good luck! xxx
 
I can totally understand, i gave up smoking a while ago and when i try to work out why i'm struggling to get into this i keep wondering if it's because i no longer smoke. I never used to to struggle, i lost 6 stone a couple of years ago through eating less and training hard and it seemed effortless!! I've even thought about smoking again but i know that would just be giving up one addiction for another and i'd probablly put weight back when i tried to give up again hufff!!
 
I also understand the smoking thing hun. This is my 1st time doing a TFR diet without the cigs, not easy but will make you feel so much better when you prove you can do it. Forget or ignore past blips, get back on the wagon with a fresh start. Have faith hun and we're all behind you :)
 
I just wanted to thankyou all for your kind words and to let you know i made it through day two - yay. I feel more up beat about it now and it is true, i did it before i can do it again :). The only thing stopping me from being thin is me thinking i cant do it and losing the will to try. I really appreciate your replies and its definitely given me the push i needed, thanks again xxx
 
Glad your feeling better!! I managed to make it through yesterday too, even with hubby being a pain in the butt lol!
