    Diet: Lipotrim
    Start Date: 3/1/2012
    Hi debbie,

    Lovely to see you as always!

    Having you done excellent on Lipotrim!!!

    WOW! 18st 13lb now at 12st 6lb

    Well done debbie that is absolutely fantastic result!!!

    I have done Lipotrim and switched to Cambridge Diet and when I was sticking to my diet I did very well on Cambridge with the change over...it was about the same as on Lipotrim about 9 to 10lbs. a month for me.

    I really liked doing Lipotrim but like you now are feeling I got bored as it is very limited as regards variety. I did not find a difference in the taste of the milkshakes or soup: much of a muchness.

    Though I would say a vast difference between a Lipotrim flapjack and a Cambridge peanut bar which is my favourite


    I am sure one of the CDC's will be along and could fill you in better about the weight loss and give you some advice.

    Once again delighted for you debbie you have done brill

    Love Mini xxx

    wow!wow!wow!

    I remember you starting ,.............and to have gone on to loose 6 stone thats fantastic!

    I have just restarted CD, I lost 3st3 back in april..stopped going and regained 2st! anyway going great guns now......and counting down to wedding at the end of march!

    I think the weight loss will still be good on CD, and the initial loss I guess will vary if you have had a break from LT and have eaten food or if you are switching straight over. Anyway which way if you have come this far so the weight loss and end result will be fab!

    I think from what I have heard there is loads more variety with CD compared to LT, the bars are a god send!

    Do you have any before and after shots? would love to see them.

    Well good luck the start of your CD journey.

    Hi mummydebbie - I remember you well! You['re the one who advised me to buy the Hinari Genie (fab piece of kit by the way).

    12st 6lb is fantastic! I got down to 12st 7lb just before Christmas but 'had a break' and frankly went beserk eating everything and anything. Now I'm back up to 13st 13lb!!

    I've decided to go down a more conventional route to do the last 4st and am joining Rosemary Conley on Thursday.

    You'll love CD after the restricted flavours of Lipotrim - and the change might be just what you need to get kick-started again.

    Good luck on this next phase of your journey
    Starting weight - 20th Oct 2011 17st 11lb

    WK1 - 28th Oct - 17st 1lb (-10lb)
    WK2 - 4th Nov - 16st 13lb (-2lb)
    WK3 - 11th Nov - 16st 10lb (-3lb)
    WK4 - 18th Nov -16st 8lb (-2lb)
    Total for 4 weeks = 17lb


    WK5 - 25th Nov - 16st 8lb (STS)
    9th Dec - 16st 3lb (-5lb)






    GOALS (for now)
    Lose 1st stone
    Get down into the 16s
    To get into the 15s
    Lose 10% of starting body weight (25lb)
    To lose 2nd stone
    To zip up waterproof jacket (bought in a charity shop on purpose with a 4" gap at the front)
    To get into a size 18
    To lose 3rd stone
    To have a BMI lower than 35
    To lose 4th stone

    well done on the loss already Debbie - that's incredible! You must feel fantastic! CD flavours are great (I think) and I love the tomato soup at the moment.. you can make muffins out of the sweet mixes and crisps and mousse.. I can't recall the thread but am sure someone will post the link on here for you Best of luck losing this final bit, I'm certain that on CD your losses will still be fab and you'll reach your goal in no time




    Former successful CD'er (and CDC) - now regained most of it despite having kept it off for 18 months!

    im glad u r liking the shakes. u will have lost the rest of ur weight in no time.

    ive done lipotrim before and thought it was awful. i absolutely love the CD shakes and soups though. i also hated the lipotrim bars. i have never tasted anything more awful than those bars but the CD ones r so so nice. i have the peanut ones every other day ad they r gorgeous. oohh and the chilli soup is heaven. getting myself hungry here!

    also, the mix-a-mousse is a life saver. if u use it with the shakes though, u need to use a hand blender or a normal blender. i learned the hard way a fork or a hand whisk wont work lol.

    good luck with the rest of ur weight and enjoy!

    Smile Hi Debbie!

    Good luck for your first day! I am sure if you have managed to shift so much weight on yukky packs then you will fly through on the cd packs and bars!

    The wedding is 75 days!!! OMG its just flying past! but I know that last time on CD i had lost a good 2 1/2 stone by day 50 and if I managed to loose that amount again, or even just the 2st would be fine, then the dress will fit like a glove!

    Went out and bought the rings and vics suit yesterday....things are really starting to happen!! ie the bank balance getting sicker!!LOL

    anyway have a fab first day...at least already being in Ketosis you wont have any horrible side effects...so you can enjoy CD from day one!

    Wow, when you see figures like yours it is so encouraging. Since starting back on CD after the Christmas break, all I keep thinking about is food and my new found love of mushrooms, and maybe going back on Slimming World will be a better for me.

    But reading your post, is encouraging me to continue and I too will see results such as yours.

    Thanks and good luck on your CD journey
