Thanks ladies but i never started on tuesday..... found out i'm pregnant instead :party0049: we're over the moon, our little boy will be nearly 5 by the time this one arrives so it was definitely time for number 2! I'm only going on 6 weeks and haven't told anyone yet so its great to get on here...

...it's time to do the walk of shame lol! I'm starting back tuesday morning and looking forward to it. I've put on 10lbs but it was worth it, i had the best summer i think i've ever had but all my parties and weddings are over so time to get back to lipotrim. Going to get weighed and get my...

Glendale, yes the maintainence is 2 shakes a day and a meal. I don't think its advised to keep swapping between TFR and maintainence shakes as they are made up differently. When i started my refeed the pharmacist advised not to use my left over lipotrim sachets as its TFR and i'd be eating...

Good woman Ejsunshine, i heard before that it takes 3 weeks to form/break a habit so you're sorted ;)

I won't bother posting my refeed diary because it wasn't 100% perfect as i'd planned but it can't be helped. I stayed to the guidelines as much as possible but little things kept getting in my way, like when we were away i ordered a stirfry but it came in a spicy sauce so had to eat mainly from...

My teeth felt clean the whole time on lipotrim! since refeeding i'm brushing after every meal as the feel is driving me mad

Between all of us this months we've lost 151.9lbs!!!:talk017:that's very impressive :D Does anyone fancy doing the June challenge? i meant to ask sooner but never got a chance to get online

I'm so so sorry for taking so long to update the board, i'm terrible :ashamed0005: Buttercup, you're fantastic and thanks for introducing me to myfitnesspal, it's been a godsend during refeed :) Leelee thanks fantastic, good woman :)

Wisdom teeth are so painful, i don't envy you :( The carrotcake won't be too bad, you're nearly at the end of your refeed so your body would be more accepting of it rather than if you ate it at the start so it shouldn't add too much glycogen (you'd think i knew what i was talking about lol!) And...

James i'll be stealing the recipe for your spaghetti bolognese sauce, it sound really tasty :eating: When i look at your portion sizes i think mine are a bit big, putting up the pictures is really useful, thanks :)

Never got a chance to post anything the past few days. I was away overnight with work so was hard to keep as perfect as i had been at home but i done as good as i could. I'll post properly tomorrow i'm wrecked and going to bed, 29 hours working in 2 days! But i had withdrawl symptoms so had to...

Hi Bex, Lipotrim is very effective when you stick to it 100%, you get great results quickly so that motivates you to keep going for another week. It's hard to avoid food to begin with but once you accept you're not going to eat for a while you'll be grand. Check out the stickies at the top of...

Hi gb, if you don't get to 22lbs in 6 weeks you won't be far off it. Good luck with your restart :)

That's the spirit ;)

No problem lucy :) Breakfast was a summerfruits shake Lunch was an egg salad like yesterday For dinner i had 8oz baby potatoes, chopped small, boiled the dry-fried with jalapenos, red peppers, sweetcorn, onion and mushrooms with the egg beaten through it. It was all tasty but during dinner...

I don't like meat but if i had to pick one of them i'd go with the chicken, but only because chicken and salad sounds nicer than sausage and salad!

Sorry i misread about your move! It's very exciting moving house, hectic, but exciting :) Your refeed sounds so healthy and controlled Emma, you should do very well by the sounds of it :) On myfitnesspal, what did you type in to search for the shakes? I couldn't find them or anything to do...

Emma's right, how many times have you told people to move forward, what's done is done so don't dwell on it! It'll take time to get used to times like this. At least you know for the future that you'll have cravings during your totm and have have healthy "bad" foods in the house to have. The...

Well done on losing 11lbs Natalie, it's great :)

Hi Fiona, well done on the 6lbs loss :) it seems to be the maintainence plan you're following. I don't know the answer to your question, but maybe try the vegetable soup or chocolate whip or the caramel bars that come on the maintainence plan. Speak to your pharmacist the next time you're in to...

It seems to be a common problem during the first few weeks, especially if you've been busy. Take it easy for a day or two and hopefully it'll pass :)

I think if that was me i would've cried!!!! You'll have a great number next week Mand :)

Today went really well, we were at a local school fun day and so many people told me how well i'm looking, its so strange but nice at the same time :) I had a summer fruit/berries shake (can't remember the name!) and found it ok, a lot creamier than the tfr shakes. I had salad at lunchtime...

Lucy this is the one i use, its only 13 calories per 15mls and its so tasty. Its in the salad section beside the mayonnaise

I'm being very nosey now and its ok if you don't want to say, but how come you don't know where you're moving to?! You seem a lot more confident when speaking about your refeed than the last time so you'll do great. Your meal today sounds super healthy :) I'm currently downloading myfitnesspal...

Cheddar that's superb, massive well done on your first week :)

To be honest, if it was me i'd probably still eat it if its not long out of date. It won't poison or sicken you, it'd just be best before it.

I used to feel really queasy after my shakes but i noticed if i drank water after it, it really helped. It seemed like the shake just lay in my stomach but the water got rid of the horrible heavy feeling

Haha i seen your reply on the other post! Did the wine have much effect on you? I'd imagine you'd get drunk very quickly now!

Emma you look fantastic x x x It's great to see your pictures up, i'd say it really makes it real for you... well that and your size 12's clothes! ;) Well done at doing your race today :party0011::party0011:

Thank you for the support ladies :) I had a maintainence bar at about 1pm. Then for my dinner at 6.30 i had 2 boiled eggs, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, teaspoon of sweetcorn, 2 baby beetroot and balsamic vinegar. I was still feeling sick when i sat down to eat and thought it'll either...

Wow! 1 stone in a week, that's fantastic :)

I agree with Dharma, don't eat. I've been out for meals several times, order a tea or coffee and glass of water ans sip them while chatting away. Your friends will understand why you're not eating and will support you. You're doing so well, its a shame to chance messing it up x

Well done Dharma, you're doing great :)

How are you getting on Kay? :)

Well done amoswyllie, you're doing great :)

That is superb cheddar, massive well done. It's very motivational to keep 100% with good losses and yours was great, i'd say you can't wait for the next weigh in already! :)

Kemstah that is an incredible loss!!!! well done, if that doesn't keep you encouraged nothing will :) Cezz you're doing great, keep up the good work :)

I had planned on starting my refeed Monday but ended up starting today. i've been so unwell with a very bad kidney infection since tuesday and with work i only got to the doctor yesterday morning. I had been on 2 antibiotics 2 weeks ago for a gum infection and my doctor said that my kidneys were...

You're so organised Minnie, you're great :)

that's great Nicenders, well done :)

Good luck today Emma :)

Hi Tegzy, i find ducolax a godsend, they're very effective. Fiberclear didn't work for me either

Ejsunshine, you've said yourself you can notice it on your clothes so maybe you've lost the weight off your hips or shoulders, just not the part of you he measured. i never measured myself because in the past i found it too hard to measure the exact same part of my body as i had the last time...

Hang in there ladies, you's are nearly half way through your first week and then its a lot easier. The narkiness and snapping at people does pass but unfortunately it takes a little while, well it did for me anyway. the headaches are a pain but easily stopped with some painkillers. You's have...

Well done Laura, you've reached your goal for May, you've lost over 1 stone in 2 weeks,that is brilliant :) Buttercup you're doing so well at your maintainence, massive well done to you :) I got weighed early this week and lost 4lbs :)

I'm not on maintainence either! Still doing tfr 100% until i refeed monday then going to do ww or maintenance until the end of the summer and finish what i've started. If i was starting again i'd definitely take measurementsto keep me motivated if the scales weren't great on a particular week...

Oh my god Emma!!!!!! that's fantastic, you must be over the moon. That definitely made your week worthwhile, it was worth the struggle. Well done :happy096::happy096:

I think its a really good idea and a great way to ease yourself in help you get into the right mindset, then whenever you're ready to start lipotrim full time you'll be in ketosis fairly quickly. Congrats on your baby and good luck when you start :)

I'm getting on alright with lipotrim but overall i'm feeling a bit crap, i think i've a kidney infection and can't get to the doctor til friday morning, its a nuicense, the back pain won't go at all and i'm totally exhausted. I'm nervous about the refeed but as prepared as i can be. I don't...

that's fantastic about your size 12's :) i', dying to see how you get on tomorrow, bet it'll be great ;)

Wow Billie that's fantastic. It gets easier from here on in, so keep doing what you're doing cas its working really really well :)

Wow everyones losses are very impressive this week, the monday club is rockin'!

Donna you've lost 18lbs in 3 weeks, that's fantastic. 4lbs in 1 week is great and if you got that every week you'd lose more than 1 stone a month. Lipotrim say you will lose 1 stone a month if you stick to it 100% so you'd be ahead of yourself. keep up the good work :)

Well done Trivenam, that's great motivation to keep going :)

Wow Gemski 4 stone in 6 weeks is crazy! Lipotrim obviously suits you very well. Congrats on your little boy :) . Take it easy when you start and get to know your limits about what you can in a day, Emma's right sleep when baby sleeps. Good luck for when you start

Just popped on quickly before I head to work, I lost 5lbs this week, I'm delighted :D

Sorry to see you go Nutty, you're a good laugh. Best of luck at ww :) make sure you pop back and let us know how you're getting on

Lucy you look fab! The difference is crazy, you must be delighted :)

Mand, 4 stone in 10 weeks is awesome, that's my first goal so delighted to see someone else achieve it. You're already 1/3 of your way to you goal, that's mega. You're right to be proud of yourself, you've done fantastic x x x

Hey Mand, i just noticed you've reached your target for May, good woman :)

Well done Mand,you're flying at this :) Natalia the important thing is you haven't given up. See how you get on wednesday and hopefully you'll get a nice surprise of a bit of a loss. I hope you're feeling better now :o

Not everyone gets cold, it didn't happen me til about week 3 and only lasted about 2 weeks, I get the odd day where nothing heats me up but have a bath or shower and that works. Let's hope you don't get it :)

Goldengirl that's awful. Take a day or 2 to get your head around what the letter said, its a shock to get and will take a few days to sort things out. Hope you're ok :o

Well done Dharma :)

When i started i said i'd do it for 10 weeks(not believing i'd last 1 week!) then take a break and do weight watchers or the maintainence bit (2 shakes and healthy dinner) so i'm refeeding monday week and I hope to have lost 4 stone by then. i had originally planned on 3 stone but got better...

i'm dying to see how you get on too :) i'd imagine it'd be good as you hadn't really gone overboard on carbs during your refeed and you'll have the water weight to lose too. You'll be at the pharmacy doors at 9am wednesday morning lol!

Hi dublin20girl :) a few people have had that problem and i think they noticed they were putting too much water in while making their shakes, but don't lower your water intake. i think it settled for them after a few days. hope you're getting on ok, the first few days aren't very nice but...

ahh Emma, you've been so good for going back on lipotrim so soon, its almost a disadvantage for you cas you know how crap the first few days are. but you also know that by tomorrow you'll more than likely be in ketosis again and the horrible hunger will be gone. and you've had a busy weekend so...

Distraction is the key to surviving the first few days, i've never been as clean as i've been since i started lipotrim with all the baths and showers i have! it's a great way to pass an hour. On lipotrim, between the 3 shakes, your daily calorie intake is 425. Now add up the calories of what...

that's mad, i'm only about 20 minutes from Drogheda :) your period will add weight but its only water so don't be worrying, it evens out over a few days and it'll be gone by the time you get weighed. the first week is mainly water weight anyway and by your second weigh-in every pound you lose...

Cravings are very hard to get used to dealing with but it will pass, its only an urge. Saturday evenings seem to be everyone's hardest evening to get the hang of as we're programmed to think it's the weekend so we should be relaxing and having a drink or takeaway as a treat for working hard all...

Honk :)

Hope you're getting on ok, i never drank water before this unless it was mixed with diluted juice and it took a while to get used to the boringness of it but during the first few days it was is a lifesaver to keep you full

Although i was very determined and positive at the start I honestly didn't think i'd stick to, i never took photos or measurements as i didn't think i'd do it. I'm currently looking into my refeed, i've never liked meat and the vegetarian refeed says to use quorn but it tastes like meat so i may...

You made me blush lol! i'm very lucky and have a fantastic family and bunch of people around me. And i've my lipo buddies! if it wasn't for people like you and a few others on here when i started i wouldn't have gotten so far so its only fair for me to support others, its the circle of life :)

Here's Fred :) http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/302242-all-about-fred-changing-habits-using-fred.html

Bumping this up again, i keep reading it and i'm afraid it'll get lost :)

Just bumping this up, it's a good read :)

Gosh you've a lot on your plate! you're great for dealing with your weight in the middle of a break-up and moving house, a massive well done for not using it as an excuse to comfort eat or get takeaways in the evenings, short term it'd be handier than lipotrim but this time next month you won't...

There's no such thing as a silly question :) I don't add it into my total but i've gone off coffee lately, which is silly as i drink it black with sweetners anyway so don't drink very much. When i started my pharmacist told me to keep my normal coffee intake as normal but could add any extra...

the bob is lovely Kay :) i still can't get over the change in you compared to the avatar you had when i first started. you're an amazing lady xxx

I added sweetners and coffee to the vanilla shake and i loved it at first but about week 5 just the thoughts of it was turning my stomach so its chocolate and chicken for me now. Bring them back to your pharmacy and swap them for ones you like, i was always swapping at the start, i'm sure...

monday week, i'm dreading it! but know i won't stick 100% over the next while so taking a break and doing maintainence shakes or ww until the end of august then back to lipotrim to finish what i've started :)

Well done Debbie and BabyA, keep up the good work :)

Well done on your 4lbs Cezz, you're doing great :)

Lipotrim is such a shock to your system that it really throws you for the first while and its hard to get into the swing of things. Food, or lack of food isn't worth crying over Kemstah, come on here and have a moan, there'll always be someone about to listen. You're doing great, the first week...

adding sweetner tablets, it might help a bit, but give the other shakes a try again in a few days, its amazing how much your taste changes when you're off food a while. good luck with your first week :)

ohh once you try them you'll understand lol!

Hi nicenders, good luck with your first few days, stick it out, it's really worth it. There's a section that gives you a few ideas of what to do with the shakes if you're getting bored of them. I tried to do the mousse once but it was horrid so stuck with the shakes. Find something that works...

Kay is the voice of experience around here and she's right, lose the weight now! I've been overweight since i was 5, i remember when i was about 9 my auntie told me it was puppy fat and it wound fall off me eventually... then last october i turned 30 and realised it hadn't fallen off me. i'd...

That's brilliant Ejsunshine :) getting weighed and having fab results is such motivation to continue on for another week, well done

hang in there Billie, it is really hard to get food out of your system. i think everyone is grumpy to begin with, actually saying i was grumpy is being very nice to myself, i'm sure my o/h would think of something a lot worse to describe my mood for the first few weeks! but once i accepted i...

i must introduce myself to myfitnesspal, it seems really useful :) Never thought i'd hear myself say this but i'm drooling at the mention of cottage cheese.... what has lipotrim done to me lol!

I'm so annoyed i didn't take measurements now!!!! that's brilliant results Lucy, 2 inches from your arms alone is incredible :eek:

lol i better stop talking before yous discover the truth lol! I'm getting on grand, still 100%, i'm refeeding monday week and petrified of it! last night i even dreamt of eating a chip sandwich and crying because i'd ate something bad! It'll be tough but either going to do the maintenance...

Welll done Newminieme on getting through the first week with a great loss :) Debbie if you don't get to your target, you won't be far from it, you've only 6.5lbs to lose to reach it. 3.5lbs after a little slip is still really good :)

Kemstah, you've come to the right place, this forum is great for support and motivation. It's also a great distraction when you need to get away from food and cravings. Hope your first day back went ok. How did you get on the ladt time you tried lipotrim? It's tough til you get into the swing of...

Hi Cheddar Chunks :) how are you getting on? It's tough to begin with but really really worth it, i've done every diet before this but none match the results lipotrim gives, its fast and keeps you determined to do another week. I couldn't handle only loosing 1, 2 or on a really good week 3lbs...

Welcome on board Debbie :) Emma, you're such a strong lady, i'd love to have half you're determination, you're great :) Nomoremuffintop that's an amazing loss, well done :)

Sorry to hear today didn't go as planned. I imagine it to be very hard to restart something like this. Have a chat with yourself and get into the right frame of mind. It's mind over matter with lipotrim rather than just doing it. You've done great so far :)

wow 6 mins of powerspin!!!! i was in pain just watching the youtube clip lol! i've started bringing my little boy out on his bike on my days off so i'm gradually accepting exercise. You're doing great at your refeed and exercise routine Anna :)

Well done Lulu, that's brilliant, you're doing great :)

How are you getting on Nutty? we're all rooting for you :)

wow, well done on doing the 10 weeks on your own before coming here. I know i wouldn't have gotten past week 3 if it hadn't been for coming on here as a distraction and for support. I'd hang on another 2 weeks before getting your outfit and then you'll have a better feel for what size would...

Hi Dooots, how are you getting on today? take it 1 day at a time and once the first week is over and you get weighed in you'll be delighted with yourself :)

Buttercup you've reached your goal for May and we're only half way through the month! AND you are on refeed the past week. You're fantstic :D

Buttercup i'd say you're just delighted!!! massive well done :D

Good woman for starting back so quickly :) You'll probably have that 8lb off you by next week :)

That's fantastic Laura :) i'll update the board in the morning

I really like your idea of the maintenance products after a refeed. Fingers crossed for tomorrow :)

I hope you're feeling ok today Emma. I'm getting on alright, i'm refeeding monday week so i'm obsessing over everyones diary's. I'm dreading going back to eating incase i can't go back to tfr at the end of the summer, i still have a long road ahead of me until i get to a decent weight. But I...

This probably sounds silly but i'm so happy you're happier Kay :) its amazing what a good chat with someone supportive can do, and she's right about the weight evening out. Even at 12 stone you've still lost a staggering 7 & 1/2 stone :D

Ah well done Emma :) best of luck with your refeed, make sure you put up your refeed diary, they're really useful for other to read and get ideas from :) Amoswyllie 11lbs in 2 weeks is great :) Of course you can keep it up, its easier after each weigh-in and you really don't notice the weeks...

Sam yous really are the lipotrim dream team! Yous are brilliant :) i'll be keeping an eye on your diary here. Good luck x

You're doing great Anna :) I'm very out of touch with exercise, what is powerspin for bingowings?

Get the ducolax into you Kay!!!! You'll probably lose 2/3lbs once you clear your system out. And if you've your period you'll retain water too. That's all the weight is, its water. Eating salad everday couldn't possibly put on weight. Don't lose heart or doubt your refeed, you've done amazing...

That was really horrible of the pharmacy, not good customer service at all. I'm sorry to hear about the weight gain, you done really well aparrt from the chocolate bar and even if your healthy snacks weren't allowed it still wouldn't add up to 6lbs so i honestly thinks its water gain. It's...

Well done LeeLee, you've under the 200lbs mark :)

That's brilliant, well done :)

that's brilliant Donna, well done :)

Honk for start of week 9 :)

When my little boy was very small i used to mix porridge with a yogurt or yogurt drink and leave it in the fridge overnight for the next morning, the yogurt will soak in and then i added a little milk just to make it a bit moister. I don't like milk so never ate cereal but needed calcium so this...

Aww no, to both the car bit and the food bit :( don't worry about your weigh-in, hopefully you'll get there tomorrow and find out how you you got on, one hard day won't ruin your week and if you're refeed diary is anything to go by you've done very well on it. Let us know how you get on x x x

I forgot to add your loss to the may challenge Destination, i'll do it now :)

good woman Dharma, i'll stick it up on the may challenge :)

thanks Kay, how did your refeed weigh-in go?

Welcome Laura, i'll stick you on the board now. i lost 5 lbs this week :)

Best of luck with your refeed Anna, you've done great on lipotrim, enjoy your holidays :) Well done Di and Volstern, you's have had great losses :) I lost 5lbs this week :)

oh yes, look how much weight you've lost off around your tummy!!!! you look fantastic :)

James is right, it's not the end of the world and you were going to taste chocolate sooner or later. you've had 1 slip in 12 weeks and it was some chocolate - you're only human! You're panicing for nothing, you weren't going to avoid chocolate/crisps/ high fat foods forever but its learning...

Well done Sarah, over a stone in 2 weeks, that's great :)

i think its very little for the first few weeks as your body is adjusting to its new lifestyle. people tend to get very light headed and some have fainted while exercising. if you read through some of the older posts you'll find a more in-depth explanation about it and it'd be worded better than...

Hope its nothing too serious Lucy, let us know how you get on x

Happy birthday and hope you'd a lovely holiday :) Good woman for getting straight back to things. I was trying to look at your avatar up close but it won't go big for me but you look so different in it, you can really notice a big difference in your weight. Keep it up Emob, you know the drill! x

Very well said Minnie, couldn't add anything more to it. It is hard and expensive but very very worthwhile and life changing.

Good luck today Billie, the first few days are tough but worth it, filling yourself full of water helps and lots of distractions help. Lipotrimmers are the cleanest people around cas we're always in the bath or shower at meal times lol! :)

It really does get easier as time goes on - we're not just saying that!!! once you have your first weigh-in and get good results it motivates you to keep going. the only other time i lost weight was about 5 years ago at ww and lost 2 & 1/2 stone in 6 months, but i've lost more in 2 months here...

it's hard to stay positive when you're feeling crap, a migraine for 2 days is horrible and i hope its gone today :o when we're feeling rough we turn to food as a simple distraction and comfort but with lipotrim we can't so blame lipotrim for making us feel bad but its not really, its just...

16lbs weight loss is fantastic!!! you gotta love lipotrim :)

8lbs in 3 days is mega! bet you can't wait for your official weigh in :)

Lucy you have done fabulous work so far on lipotrim and you never seem to complaîn so you're dead right to be fed up! You're more than half way to your target, 12 weeks is a long time without food and its bound to have a knock on effect where you need to take things easy and build yourself up...

Honk for yesterday :)

You look great Nutty :) how are you getting on waiting on ketosis? hopefully it shouldn't be long x

That's brilliant ladies :)

Lipotrim makes you take a step back from food and helps you deals with your eating issues and it breaks bad habits. This may sound silly but the way i see it is when you get to a certain weight you realise you don't just like food, you're addicted to it, like a drug user or alcoholic and the...

6lb on week 9! , i like you style Mand ;) :)

That's a great idea about the lollies, might try that myself. Would be good to chew on them too instead of plain ice

Well done Destination, that's a fantastic loss :)

That's brilliant Debbie, well done :)

The soup isn't to everyones taste but i find it kinda ok. I had heard it was horrible so made my o/h taste it first lol! When i first started people said to put a teaspoon of curry or chilli powder or black pepper in, which i did and loved the soup with it. Then someone emailed lipotrim about it...

Hi NewMinieMe :) This forum is a godsend, its so supportive and there's always someone about to answer any questions you have. I'll put your name on theboard in the morning (can only do it on my pc). Good luck with the next few days:)

Honk day 53 & 54 :)

Don't lose heart Natalia, its hard when the scales don't reflect your hard work but once you don't give up you know there'll be a good weigh-in coming your way x x x

Keep up the good work buttercup :)

Nutty i'm delighted to hear you're going to continue with your journey. Your slip wasn't as bad as you thought, you still had 2lb off, well done for going and getting weighed, i'd say you were relieved when it was done! getting back to ketosis will be a pain in the bum but a worthwhile pain :)...

Hi Arnelpa, Debbie put up a really good thread on the main forum about ketosis. Good luck with your start :) Here's the link http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/316603-ketosis-info.html

Callidora, that's an amazing oppurtunity, you might go to space!!! That's mad! Lipotrim has fantastic results and i wish you all the best with it and space. But i too agree with the other ladies, you should find out what you weigh, at least at your next weigh in you'll be lighter so it might be...

That's brilliant Debbie, i love your posts, they're so positive :) let us know how you get on tomorrow

Hi Ejsunshine, how are you getting on today? Some days i find it really hard to drink the water, i feel like i'll drown if i drink anymore still water! On them days i stick to the sparkling watercolor, although its fizzy i don't find it as heavy on my stomach, maybe give it a try. When i started...

Ahh Kaijo that's fantastic news, well done :) i'm delighted you got such a good loss, you really had a hard first week and deserve it

Dunder doodles you look fantastic :) and i hope you don't mind me saying but you really don't look 15 stone! Or maybe you need to update your stats

I've tried all the regular diets and am on lipotrim at the minute, it's hard for the first few days but then its grand once you're into the swing of it. I've lost just over 3 stone in 7 weeks :)

Hi Tashak00 and welcome :) i agree with everything Sess said. beauty comes from within and until you feel good inside nobody elses words will mean anything. We're all going through this together and support each other so if you're finding it tough come on here, there's always someone about or...

Hi Lisa, welcome to this end of the forum :) lipotrim really does make you think about your relationship with food and you really get to know yourself overtime and what your triggers for overeating are. Take it week by week and you'll get there with the rest of us :)

This is great Debbie :)

I know what you mean Sess, i'm turned my obsession with food into an obsession with this site!

Think of what you could look like in 7 weeks if you stick on lipotrim, you'd be a changed woman Karinau. Lipotrim is hard, especially the first week but its flippin magic after that! Hang on for one week and when you get weighed in and you'll be skipping out the door. I've lost just over 3 stone...

You've done fantastic Cbally, and in only 14 weeks!!! it is hard not eating but worth it, i'd say you don't know yourself now. Definitely get some photos up, you've only 2 stone to go :)

Honk day 52 :)

I think the exercise is a personal choice, some people want to tone up as they lose weight so exercise at the risk of slower weightloss whereas others wait and tackle the toning at the end. I think its cas muscle weighs more than fat so while you're still losing fat you're gaining muscle so it...

Try, try and try again!!! you know the great results you can get in such a short time, it really is worth the torture of the first week! You've still lost 2.5 stone since january so don't forget to be proud of that, if you were doing a different diet you'd only be about there now anyway, and...

Hi Michaela :) only a day or two until you reach ketosis and then you'll be sorted, well apart from the cravings!! but you know yourself they get easier to handle. Well done on loosing the weight the first time. I think if you stick to this 100% you'll definitely have the 3 stone off for your...

You done great at lipotrim Nutty. it is hard to resist when we've had crappy days and it has a snowball effect on the rest of the week that's hard to stop. See how you feel when you next weigh in before you decide for good. Good woman for playing netball, i can just about manage football with my...

Sam you've met your target for refeed, well done :) :wave_cry: Buttercup did you start your refeed today? well done on the 3lbs :)

That's great, back to normality again - well the new improved healthier normality!

That's fantastic about all your size 12's, i'd say you were skipping out of the shop :D

Best of luck with your refeed Sam. It's great you have Rob to do it with so you won't be tempted to have something else for dinner cas he's eating the same. Do men do the same refeed as woman? just asking as they have different shakes?

Sam, yourself and Rob have done great work in 5 weeks, good luck with your refeed :) Emma, you'll be refeeding for definate in 2 weeks... only 6lbs to go :) Sess & Amoswyllie, well done on your first week's losses, you's are doing great. the second week so is lot easier, you've have done the...

Honk day 51 :)

It's always the yummy stuffing lol! Your poor Mother! That bug is all she needs, its awful :( I hope it doesn't last long

I know i shouldn't laugh but i had to when you said you'd shame yourself on here lol! It's not like school, nobody will give out to you for doing something wrong, you're only human :) everyone makes mistakes you just have to learn from them and the fact you came on here instead of finishing the...

thanks Emma, i'm going grand. I'm stopping for a refeed in 3 weeks, i'm dreading it but i know my limits when it comes to social occassions, over the next few months i've a hen weekend, my brother's 21st, my Mam's 60th, my brother-in-law's 30th, 3 weddings and my sister is coming home from new...

Hi Kay, you're doing great on your refeed, don't let the 1lb deter you, it was gonna happen with the water and you're doing fab x I had my gallbladder out 5 years ago and i'm the same with greasy food, the heartburn is so annoying. It was especially bad if the food was greasy from butter, like...

No problem Missy and Dharma :) what day do you weigh in Missy? I lost 3lbs this week :)

Well done guys :D i lost 3lbs this week:)

you look amazing buttercup, you've totally changed. Massive well done to you x x x

That's brilliant Yeye :)

Honk day 50 :)

How was your roast dinner today? i was thinking of you when i was in my parents and everyone was tucking into their roast dinner :)

This is so exciting Emma :) i'm going to be spending more time reading in the refeeding section than on the main forum between you and Kay! Good luck for tomorrow :)

Honk day 49 :)

ahh Kaijo i hope you're ok. i'm sure right now its no consolation us all saying it gets easier the longer you do it. It's a hard diet to stick to and you need lots of support around you. I in very bad humour around week 2 and its hard to snap out of it but you do. Destination 119! is right, have...

Hi Debbie, you know what's ahead of you and how great the results are so that's half the battle. Good luck for tomorrow and fingers crossed for you on saturday :)

There's so many people refeeding there'll be nobody left for the June challenge!!!! Well done ladies, yous have done a lot of hard work to get where yous are now, i hope yous get on great at refeeding :)

Good luck with your refeed Buttercup, i know you'll do great at it. Anyone that got weighed in wed, thurs, fri or sat let me know how you got on so i can put it on the board :)

i know i said it already on the may challenge but i'll say it again anyway... well done mand :)

Hi Dharma, welcome back to lipotrim :) august will be here before you know it. My Mam always says she never gets upset about her birthday coming up and growing old, it's when our birthdays(her kids) come up she gets upset cas she can't hide her age when we look old! but you're a long way of...

ahh i can't really help you with a proper answer but i can give my opinion if it helps? Sorry in advance if its wrong!!! but i'd imagine it should be ok to use the nasal spray, there'd be that little of it managing to make its way to your stomach, even if it was full of sugar, which it isn't i'm...

you've probably read it before on here but we're not joking when we say the second week is easier. Once you get weighed you'll forget the horrors of the first week and think its a great idea to the second week and once you're into the swing of it you'll be forcing yourself have the shakes as you...

that's great Mand, i'd say you're really noticing a difference in yourself now :)

Good woman Nutty x

What's your weigh-in day Yorkie? :)

Just bumping this up :)

i tried to make a mousse before but it was a disaster and tasted horrible so i ended up adding more water and making a shake out of it. there's a recipe book type post on the main forum somewhere, i'll find it and bump it up to the top :)

You've almost a week til your next weigh-in Carla so you should have it well worked off by then, it's the annoyance of having to go through ketosis for a day or two that's put me off cheating. don't beat yourself up about a little slip up - if you're up this early on a sunday morning talking...

I keep forgetting to honk.....Honk day 48 :)

April i love your nail varnish idea, i'm definitely going to do that

Think i'll be watering down my shakes! :) i long for the day i can poo without ducolax lol (sorry! tmi)

Hi Trivenam :) you've definately got the right attitude for lipotrim and sound all set for monday. the first few days aren't nice but once you get into the swing of things its magic! you should be in ketosis very quick from doing the atkins diet.. well done on your weightloss so far :)

there's 2 flavours April, I tried both and the coconut was way worse than the peanut and the peanut was rotten! i never tried them toasted so might give it a try as i've 2 in the press. I really like the idea of having them in my handbag for when i'm out an about but its not worth the horrible...

I know what you mean Minnie, i'm planning on refeeding at the end of the month then joining weight watchers to keep me on track until the end of august then back to lipotrim to finish what i've started. but i'm really dreading having to face food again, its so much easier to just avoid it and...

you's are doing great ladies :) Emma is right, once you get over the first week and get into the swing of things time flies by and you've a month done with fabulous results before you know it

that's fantastic April :) if you're weighing in random days maybe join the may challenge, its just for fun but you get to keep track of how you're doing for the month. it's on the main forum page :)

that's a brilliant loss Cezz, well done, it's more than 1lb a day :)

Hi Lutete, 10lbs is fantastic, i bet you're thrilled :) a great loss like that in the first week really motivates you to keep going doesn't it? i get weighed on a monday but there's always a monthly challenge you can join if you wanted. i don't know if anyone elses gets weighed on a thursday but...

i love reading the wednesday and thursday weigh in thread cas they're my hardest day but your losses keep me going, well done ladies (& Rob!) :)

That's fantastic Yeye :) i bet you felt great getting the compliments, i love the stepping over grate one lol!

If i'm working its, 6, 1 and 7. On my days off its about 11, 5 and 9.30 but depends on the day

Time to start the May's challenge! Same rules apply as usual, the challenge will run from 1st to 31st May, all you need to do is pledge your weight loss for the month and weigh in day below. Anyone can join in whether you're on LT for the whole month or just for a couple of weeks. Please make...

i love reading this thread to see how well you're doing. Keep up the good work Kay :)

That's horrible Emma, maybe you should refeed early, if you keep an eye on what you eat the last 4lbs will come off. You've done fantastic so far, i'd hate to see you miserable

Hi Kay, i'll do the may challenge thread :), but won't get near my pc til saturday to set it up properly, will only be on my phone til then. I've been reading your refeed thread, you're doing great :D

Nice one Lulu, that's fantastic :)

Under 13 stone Lucy ;) that's fantastic :D

Move past it Kelbel! It's not worth beating yourself up over something that's been done already. The important thing is to learn from mistakes, i really hope you're not too long gettigng back into ketosis. Good luck with your weigh in today :)

I'm a ducolax fan myself lol! it probably is constipation, its horrible :sigh: I used to weigh myself every day for the first 2 weeks but stopped as i was driving myself mad! Some mornings i'd even put on weight! i know its really hard to avoid the scales but for your own sake leave it til at...

Hi April and welcome :) It's up to you whether you stay on it until august, people have stayed on lipotrim for every occassion, even christmas! See how you get on and take it week by week. I work shift work too but have been lucky to be able to weigh in most mondays but i go for the next day...

Personally i drink a minimum of 3 litres and aim for 4, reaching it most days. Lipotrim recommend 2-4 litres but not much more as It flushes all the salts and nutrients out of your system. Drink what you're comfortable drinking once its not less than 2 litres. You won't know yourself come july...

Sometimes i feel sick about an hour after my shake but i've noticed its when i don't drink water after the shake so i'm ok once i have a drink. The breath stripes ate called nuPhar fresh breath strips, they are good at instant freshness but don't last overly long. They're better than nothing...

Maybe have a chat with your pharmacist, they should know what the iron tablet contain and what effect it would have on ketosis. Or try the liquid form of iron instead, the iron tablets upset my nan's stomach so she takes the liquid(or bottle blood as she calls it lol!) and its every bit as...

I've lost almost 3 stone and its only now that people are saying it to me and I've dropped 2 dress sizes. I only noticed it myself after losing about 2 stone

Wow! Almost a stone in 1 week, well done :)

A few years ago I went to the hypnotist that I used to successfully stop smoking and he done the imaginary gastric band and like that it was all about stopping eating when you're no longer hungry rather than when you're full/stuffed. It did work well but greed took over after a night out and...

That's brilliant gb :)

When are you weighing in gb1986? You're on day 8, is it not driving you mad to know how you got on?? Honk day 42 :)

I have to use ducolax twice a week as i never seem to go anymore, and that's with drinking 4 litres of water most days. The tummy pains do go once you're more regular. Hopefully the piles should clear once there's no pressure there. What day do you weigh in Minnie? I'd say you'll notice a...

Thank god i've gotten over the cold thing, its horrible and nothing heats you up.... at the rate i knit i'll see you in 8 years with that blanket!

Decide nothing until after your weigh in!!! It is hard and Emma's right, its pure willpower that gets us through each week but at each weigh in you know its worth it. Wait another day til weigh in, it'll be worth it x

Well done Eva and welcome to the monday club :)

6lbs for me please Kay..... Well done Emma, you've done fantasically well on your journey, be proud of yourself :)

yous will laugh at this but i've recently took up knitting!!!! my friends think i've lost the plot and its hilarious for a 30 year old to be sitting at home knitting! but that i find its therapeutic and keeps me busy in the evenings when i used to be nibbling. I'm only knitting little squares...

thanks Lauren, i'm only 20 minutes from Dundalk, it's such a small world :)

damn do-gooders ruin everything! 1/3 of the people i know keep telling me how unhealthy only having 3 shakes must be so i tell them it's recommended by doctors and pharmacists all over the world. 1/3 of them tell me anyone they know that's been on lipotrim piles the weight back on as soon as...

the monday club is rockin'! i lost 6lbs this week :) between everyone that's got weighed so far we've lost over 2 stone today, well done us :D

you're doing great at the refeed cloe, keep up the good work :)

3 months will fly by in no time. Good luck :)

Mine normally takes a day to update, i can't figure out why but it will change soon :) Well done on your first week, that's practically half a stone gone :)

Good find volstern. It explained the dynamics of refeeding very well and handy to go back for a reminder of everything involved. Thanks :)

my knees are sore just thinking about all that squating lol! do you do them all at once? you're great for taking it up, keep us posted on how its going :)
