Total Solution any former lipotrim users-how does weight loss compare?

hi
this is my first post.
tomorrow i will have completed my first week on exante and i am so concerned about my first week's loss that i am considering not weighing myself.

i have done lipotrim successfully a number of times over the last few years and have always had excellent losses so my expectations are high. i have always lost 12lb in the first week, 5lb in the second week and an average of 3lb a week subsequently.

i have started exante this time as i piled all the weight back on in my second pregnancy and so starting weighing more than ever at 212lb. i find with 2 kids getting to the pharmacy is too much of a bind-especially as my husband wants to do the diet also so exante seemed like the perfect solution.

i am just worried that the weight losses won't be as good given the calorie intake is 180kcal more than on lipotrim- nearly 50% more calories.

what are others' experience of comparative weight-loss i am scared that i might demotivate myself by weighing myself and wondering whether i should not bother?

i am planning/hoping to do this diet for 12 weeks til i go on holiday and then hopefully get back on it til i reach my goal of 133lb which is what i weighed this time last year before pregnancy :-(((

apart from my concerns about weight loss this diet is amazing compared to lipotrim- it tastes better, more variety and less hassle. the thought of having to go back on LT if this doesn't work fir me is too depressing....

can anyone reassure/advise?

thanks

I can't comment on Lipotrim as I've never done it, but I did Lighter Life several years ago and the other day I found my weigh in book and my first 3 weigh in results on Exante are identical to what I lost on LL, despite LL being 200 calories a day less.

thanks for your reply jael. i might still resist weighing and just do a monthly weigh in instead as i've read others doing this. i used to need to see the weightloss weekly to keep me going on LT but feeling motivated without weighing at moment

Good luck if you do the monthly weigh-in. I'm a daily weigher, I'm a bit obsessed I'm afraid, even skipping one day's weigh in makes me skittish lol.

Ive done lipotrim twice...

Lost about 5 st in 4 months each time. Exante in my opinion is better, the food choices are better, and tastier. I think you have more freedom on exante also...with drinks and changing flavours with herbs n spices. Plus the bars are way better.

Ive just done my first week on exante, i lost 10lbs....
My first weeks on lipotrim i lost 10lbs first time round and 14 second time round ( if i remember rightly that week was 9 days because of my chemists availibility) . I think there much the same...especially if you excercise .

Good luck.

I did Lipotrim last year, and restarted with Exante this year at about the same weight (few lbs lighter). In comparison, my weight loss at week 5 is 1lb less than on Lipotrim. However, I haven't exercised as much as I did on Lipotrim. I'm actually finding it easier not to and I'm not getting as hungry.

Good luck

Thanks Jayne and nix for your responses.so good to hear your weightlosses are similar. I'm nrly at end of week 3 and it's so much bette than lipotrim in terms of taste and choice. Still avoiding weighing as I know I wil be demotivated if it's not where I expect so just tracking in my head what I hope to be.can def feel and see the loss tho so alll good
