I am glad Manda found you all! She is a great friend to me, even though we're never actually met yet in three years, but we will this year at some point!

I too watched the Breastfeeding programme.... Whilst I didn't really find much wrong in the woman with twins and even the 4 year old, I found it a bit disturbing about the 8 year old! What can that child at 8 years old really gain from that! Mind you each to there own, and of course the kid didn't seem to really be all that bothered by it at all, so I guess if she was happy....

Was wondering has anyone here followed Lipotrim? I was refferred for it a couple of years back by my GP but didn't take up the offer. However this week I was speaking to a friend and she's lost 3 stone on it in 4 months, and she does look great.

I was thinking of trying it just to take food out of my life, maybe drop a few stone and then re-introduce food but healthly low fat options. I would be hoping by dropping 3 stone it might give me a little more energy to increase exercise and such like, so I guess I would just like to use it for a temp measure.

Anyone any experience of it....

Well I think I've discovered why I'm not losing weight I'm not eating enough calories.

I've been calorie counting today and i've still got nearly 400 cals left of my reduced intake (1500 cals) and I'm full and I've definitely eaten lots more than I had yesterday. What the crap can I eat thats good for you and will bulk me up a bit without making me feel sick. i might have a piece of fruit later but thats not going to be 400 cals

Never heard of Lipotrim but then I've heard of nothing.

impossible princess umm I dunno what can you eat? I'm gonna have a baked potato later.

I'm in a state at the mo with backache and strange noises when I walk I may be about to keel over any minute. I need to lose a stone NOW.

I'm just filling up on what I eat atm which is a good thing I suppose but means I need more cals. I suppose I could have some fruit juice, an apple and maybe a low cal hot chocolate before bedtime.

Can't believe I've been good for two weigh ins and not lost anything so annoying!!

I'm missing the gym!!! Not been since my big asthma attack on Tuesday, it's still playing up, and I want to exercise!!! But I don't think its wise just at the moment. They are having intense meetings at work wondering what the **** to do with me, who on earth is allergic to new carpet??? I'm angling for me to work from home for a few weeks, but I can't see that happening!!!

I missed the breast feeding program. One of my friends breast fed her little one til she was three, it was a bit odd. It's strange when they are old enough to ask for it!!! One of my friends is pregnant at the moment, due in 7 weeks. She is planning to breast feed, but said today she would never feed her baby anywhere other than home. She is quite convinced her baby is going to have very specific feeding times and never going to be hungry and cry for milk. She'll have a shock!!!!

I'm going to my work Christmas do tomorrow, I am planning not to drink, fancy my chances anyone???

I've not seen any of this tv, I'm never in at the moment! I finished my Spanish course tonight and I have a week off (yay!) before the next one starts. Of course I'm actually going to Spain during the gap, so I will be practising

Out again tomorrow, I've agreed to bucket rattle in return to a free ticket to a rugby match, so I've been retrieving all my warm stuff. I've not been to a game since November (Kylie might remember that one!) so I'm almost excited, even though my team aren't playing. Actually, I just remembered that my team played a friendly tonight and I should really check the result...

Had a really good run today - 6.7km in 36 minutes. That's FAST!!! (OK, not by Paula Radcliffe stndards, but by mine )

Oh well done!!!!! Thats an amazing loss!!!!

I have had an attack in the gym twice. Luckily the gym I am at now is tiny and the changing rooms are close to the equipment. At my new gym I won't be so lucky so I am buying a puffa pouch! http://www.puffapouch.com/. Then I can wear it around my neck in case of emergency.

I am off to my work Christmas do tonight. Can someone explain to my employer that it's February???

Well done Mands!

I am blue today. I am totally at a standstill. I'm doing everything in my life that I possibly can to try and improve my weight and skinny down. I'm running longer than ever, lifting heavier and my kickboxing is still sucky! I'm at a total standstill with my back-kicks. They suck. I haven't lost any weight in 3 months. My BF% has gone down 0.1% this month, but that's only cos I stood on the scales twice! The first time it was just the same as last time. World's smallest violin

Homersmummy - Well done on that ten and a half pounds weightloss!

Just a heads up, there's been a warning on the radio news today that there's a new computer virus set to cause damage to Microsoft programs today - its transmitted via attachments to emails and its called the Nixon virus. You might want to think about running an on-line virus check for it - a freebie check is at http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan.htm or http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

I'm just back from a 2 hour 15 min walk which my pedometer says was 9.25 miles (seems unlikely cos I don't think I walk that fast).

I had a fairly useless dieting day yesterday. DH thought I seemed down in the dumps and booked a table at my favourite country pub. Not only do they not cook ANYTHING resembling a low cal meal but the table was booked for 9pm and I've promised myself not to eat anything after 8. Oh well - It was a delish meal - chicken in a BBQ sauce with roast root veggies and a salad. I didn't have a starter but I did have a huge bowl of fresh fruit salad (no cream) for pudding. Fresh start today!

Awww that's sweet! And your meal doesn't sound too bad at all - everyone's allowed a day off now and again
