Lost about 2.5 stone last year and have now put a stone back on. why is it so hard to maintain weightloss. Am so annoyed with myself because i tried so hard to lose it. No motivation to start dieting again though, seems like i cant stop eating.:mad:
Hey Lipotrimmers, I did lipotrim for three weeks last summer and it has literally changed my life. I have lost a total of 39.5 lbs initially through lipotrim but then by following a high gi diet. Life is great and when i fancy eating something bad i just think about why i did lipotrim in the...
OMG What a difference! Well done! I remember you saying early on how you wanted to lose weight before your mum passed so i am pleased she got to see you do it. Well done, i am sure she was very proud of you. xx
Have been following Rick Gallops GI Diet since refeed and i am out of the habit of binge eating which was my downfall! Have LT to thank for that because i really needed to cut out food for a while to get back on track. Lipotrim rocks!!
Thanks for all the advice guys, think i going to get a...
Hey guys, great to see everyone doing so well!! Have been eating so healthily and exercising loads for the last few weeks since refeed but have been stuck at 10.5 stone for last couple of weeks, just not budging on the scales at all. Any advice anyone??:help2:
Hey all!! Have not posted in a while as i have been so busy since going back to work, only get to log in occasionally now!:tear_drop:! Well have been on the refeed for the last couple of weeks and am so pleased with how it is going! i now weigh 10.5 stone so am 7lbs away from my target. My...
Yes they should def have it, got mine in the local bookstore so would imagine that it is everywhere. nice recipes in it too, have been experimenting a bit more for the last few days!!
I am following Rick Gallops book at the minute and i find it great. Makes loads of sense. It is just so great to not be binge eating anymore! Even if you do put on a few lbs it will only be your body readjusting to the change not because you have cheated. xx
I was the very same, seems like we are eating loads!! I never bothered having the sandwich in the evening that it recommends on the plan though, never have the room for it. everything tastes so much nicer now. Feel very proud these days doing my shopping with a trolley full of fruit and veg!! xx
Wow i would go for it!! Its nice that they are taking an interest in your progress. The only reason i heard about lipotrim was through a friend who was using it so potentially you could be helping other peoples lives by letting them know the benefits of lipotrim! xx
Oh i have everything crossed for you that it works! Who cares about the weight, once you have a little baby in your arms at the end of it thats all you should be concentrating on. xxx Best of luck!
Regardless of the way people lose weight more than 95 out of every 100 put it all back on in one year. We all got fat by overeating and if we go back to eating the way we did we will get fat again. Portion control is a big factor. Heres hoping we are all in the 5%! xx
How strange is that, i just looked at the website a few hours ago!! It is pathetic, expecially love the line that it is not suitable for people allergic to tomatoes, grapefruit and cant remember the last thing!! V123, you have brought back many happy memories!!!
Sorry it has not worked out for you. i did tfr for three weeks and i felt fine i went on refeed cos my skin is prone to stretch marks and i wanted to slow things down. Have been eating really healthy and lost 1.5lbs this week. Have put up on the refeed section everything i have eaten so hope...
I am going back to work on wednesday after having the last 15 months off so am going to get a blitz done on the house today to save me time during the week. My hubby gone off to Dublin to a match, oh to be a man!!

Am refeeding in conjuction with The Gi Diet by rick Gallop. Lovely recipes in there. Am cooking with balsamic vinegar instead of oil and it is scrummy. Also using my steamer a lot, put in portion of salmon or chicken and load the rest of the tier with veg, loads of black pepper and away i go!! xx

I mentioned on another thread that my chemist suggested i do refeed this week which i am doing as i wanted to slow down the weightloss to help my skin not stretch! (have skin that stretchmarks quite easily). I Am expecting to lose 2lbs a week on this but just wondering will i be starting...
Will keep it up so! Looking forward to seeing the results myself. Feel so full though but am eating the exact amounts stated on the leaflet and drinking as much water as ever.
Hi Guys, well i have 35 pounds to lose and in three weeks i have lost 19 of that so i am delighted! I am prone to stretch marks so want to slow it down a little now so i am refeeding. I started on Saturday and so far this is what i have ate:
Saturday
Breakfast:Orange creme drink mix
Lunch...
thanks mama 267, my chemist suggested to me last sat to go on it so i have. Have stuck to it 100% so far but just hoping that i have a good weight loss this week.
Dont beat yourself up about it because it will only make you feel worse. Just leave it at that though, dont eat anything else tonight. Start afresh now and you will be delighted with yourself before you know it. xx
I have to admit i am a daily weigher!! En route to getting babies bottle in morning, pop into downstairs loo for sneaky weigh in. Some days stay the same and others could be 2lbs gone!
I seem to be spending more time in the kitchen than ever these days! i have hubby and two boys to feed but i dont mind it at all. Have not time to think about eating myself, have them all reminding me!!
Oh well done for resisting, you will be so pleased with yourself at your weigh in now!! Its only when you are on this diet when you realise that every social occasion is centred around food!! Well done!! xx
You sound like you really want to do it again so go for it! After the first week you will be delighted with yourself. think it easier to start up straightaway again instead of leaving it for a few weeks! good luck! xx
Hang in there! You will feel so much better by monday morning. Have you looked at the inspirations slideshow, i always have a peak there when feeling low! xx
Oh snap!! Just started cycling again after years of the bike being in the shed! You will build up your fitness really fast cycling. Stick on the rain gear and off you go!! xx
When did you realise that the moment had come for you to lose weight?? I have just uploaded the picture that i had to look at twice because i just could not believe it was me! I am just after putting on the same outfit and getting my hubby to take a pic of me because i cannot believe the...
On refeed you are still going to need your shakes so if i was you i would just stay on the full replacement, you cant drink anyway on refeed so probably would be easier for you in the long run to keep on as you are!!
Great loss, well done!! Please dont eat or drink though this weekend because it will make next few days even harder for you! On my lipotrim notes from chemist it says
'if you jump directly from TFR into a high carbohydrate meal, your glycogen and water stores will fill up excessively, causing...
It might help if u make up the shakes with more water than it says, makes it last a bit longer. I use around two pints of water and loads of ice per shake. Stick with it though, what other diet will have you looking like an italian romeo by your bros wedding!! Good luck!
Focus on your hol now, you have done so well and you know you are doing everything right so dont worry about one measly little pound!! Look at what you have lost! Well done! xx
OOh that is gorgeous!! Wish you had not put up the link though, if i buy anymore clothes online my hubby will kill me!! What cool clothes they have on there! xx Enjoy wearing it! Love that look with layers, nice waistcoat, long chain and nice boots.
Over here weather is great!! First sunny day in ages. Promised to bring kids to park, just waiting for my sleepy baby to wake up! Weigh in tomorrow for me so looking forward to that. You have done so incredibly well that you may surprise yourself at weigh in at chemist, my home scales never...
Oh it is so hard to resist the lure of food when you are feeling like that so well done! Your weight loss will make you feel incredible and you will not care about who is doing less or more work because u wont be able to stop admiring yourself. Well done, let us know how you get on! xx
Well done Kazza55 that is brill!!! You must have been retaining fluid or something last week!! Makes you so moticvated to see the weight going down! xx
I love Lipotrim because...
1. My skinny jeans are now buttoning up
2. I feel fabulous and (almost) look it
3. My husband cant keep his hands off me
4. I have stopped binge eating
5. I have made fab friends on here with great advice
Be careful though fellow lipotrimmers i may come on...
Was just reading some of your previous posts and remembered that you caved in and had a binge one day. You did not give the diet a chance to work. You need to be on the shakes and the shakes alone otherwise you mess up ketosis. If you had done it properly and then commented we might have...
No need for such negative comments. We were all more than supportive towards you but if lipotrim is not for you that is fine, just dont judge the rest of us because we are on it.
Stick with it and by the time you have ur first weigh in you will be really motivated. Would imagine your system is just clearing itself out so just keep on drinking the water. I am on day 20 today and i feel great. Peoples weight loss on this diet are amazing and in no time at all you will...
Ok i have gone mad and bought another karen millen dress!!! I normally buy from the official website but today i found one of the dresses i want on ebay from the new collection. It is priced £160 on Karen Millen and including p&p on ebay i got it for £93. How is this possible? Is it going to...
You have done so brilliantly up to this. six pounds is such a small amount left to lose you can do it with healthy eating if needs be. Let us know how u get on. x
A couple of years ago my hubby bought me a fabulous burberry bag, it was a seasonal one in very light blue with white straps. I loved that bag so much but now it just looks old. Stick to river island now for my bags makes more sense!!!
Its weird. Before if i knew there was chocolate downstairs i would be almost twitching and i would have to go down and eat it all, so fast i would not even taste it! Think lipotrim is working so fast for me i have not had time to come down off the high of (almost) fitting into my old threads!!
So it is day 19 for me today and the one thing that amazes me is that i can cook a gorgeous meal (like to think i am a great cook!!!) for my family and i dont even think about having some! Before lipotrim i would eat a full dinner as big as my hubbys and i would have been grazing the whole day...
Sorry u are having such a crappy day, hate when people think they have the right to walk all over you. Hope things improve and well done for biting your tongue, makes u the better person. xx

Loving this song at the mo! Does not hold any special memories for me now but IN FIVE YEARS TIME i am sure will remind me of my lipotrim days!!
Oh Cankster so pleased to hear someone else gets those dizzy spells!!! If my six month old wakes during the night it is a struggle for me to find his room because i am completely dizzy and all i can see is black!! Have been doing some walking and dancing but def not as energetic as i was!
Had never heard of a camel toe until last nights big brother and then i come on here and read this post!! Freaky!! Well done, feels great when clothes that were too small become loose!!!
So my karen millen dress has arrived for my friends wedding and IT FITS!!! Cant believe it. Would be great to lose another stone before the wedding to lose the lumps and bumps but am just delighted i can zip it up!!! :D
Its 3 am they're all asleep
And no one's here to see
As we rock slowly back and forth
My Baby Girl and Me.
Her little head is feather light
tucked up against my chin
I hold her tiny hand in mine
and stroke her baby skin.
The house about us creaks and groans
the clock hands creep around
She...
I am sure you would rather be thin and thirty rather that fat and twenty nine!! I will be thirty next April and i was so not looking forward to it but now i am looking forward to having a big bash and showing off my figure!! Splash out and buy yourself a fabulous dress and work it baby!!! xx
I am a binge eater as well and that is my biggest battle so far because i know if i even have one bite of something unsuitable i will throw in the towel and the last seventeen days will have been pointless. A couple of months ago i read an article in a magazine about a woman who had the same...
That is just brill well done!!! If u were trying to be a size zero i would be worried but you are going to be a healthy 6, you are a small framed girl and this is ideal for you. Enjoy every second of the clothes shopping, when you are as thin as you u dont need to spend huge money on clothes...
Went for an hour and twenty minute walk! Before starting lipotrim i walked most evenings but ofr last two weeks have not had much energy. Felt like a flip switched yesterday though so started back to the usual walk. Going to try and do a walk or cycle every day this week, 11stone 6 now but...
I love all the milkshakes!! Use loads of ice and loads of cold water and whizz them up and they are delicious. U can add coffee to the choc and vanilla ones as well to have another flavour. Have not tried the soup or flapjacks yet but loads of people will be able to tell u about them. Good...
This is one thing that frightens me, putting all the weight back on. I have made a vow to myself that i am going to keep it in check with a weekly weigh in and am determined not to go back to my bingy evenings. I am miserable when i am fat and so much nicer to be around when i am ''normal''...
Will have to start adding some cinnamon to my shakes to get me into the christmas spirit!!! Will wait till i lose the weight after last christmas before i start thinking about the next one!!!
Planning on having a family day out! there is a steam rally on today close by with lots of stuff for kids to do so as long as the rain stays away will be heading off to that, need to get around to getting showered and dressed though!!! Minimins is too addictive by far!!
I promise you it definitley does!!! On day 16 today and have no hunger whatsoever!! Just made homemade burgers for todays dinner and the thought of having one never even entered my mind!! When u have ur first weigh in u will be so thrilled u will not even want to eat! xx
Week two was so much easier, never felt a bit hungry! I think adrenalin kicks in when u here your first weight loss so hang in there!!
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments. Being on this diet makes it so much easier with you all here. xx
Nothing exciting planned here. Have a humonguos pile of ironing to get done which i am not looking forward to!! Arsenal are playing today so my hubby and kids will be busy watching that so i might actually get something done!!!
You will look fab in your bikini now!! Enjoy every minute of it. Make sure your oh does not sell u off for a few camels or something now you looking so fine!!!
Four stone is incredible, well done!! What did u have for your dinner?? I made spag bol for the family today and normally it would all be gone but there is enough left for them for tomorrow as well, made me realise how big my portions used to be, and i used to have a huge chunk of grated cheese...
You can saffrons hang in there. This is the moment when you can choose to change your life or to stay the same. Imagine yourself in a month when u will have at least a stone gone, at least! And in a year you will be grateful you stuck with it because of the new lease of life u will have. xx
i cant stop looking at him now and thinking about how i have probably lost his head and shoulders so far! Makes you think though the amount of sh***e we had to eat to put on all this excess weight. This is def a big turning point for me! xx
OMG i just weighed my five year old and he is 2.5 stone. When i get to target i will be able to say to people i lost all of him!!! Think i am gone slightly bonkers with the lack of food!!!
That is fabulous! Well done! If u get to the weight you want to be at least you will have a few pounds to play around with and still be in your healthy range. xx
Hi remyrobson! Things are so much easier when u have a great forum like this for support. Remember loads of water and this time next week your clothes will be getting loose!! xx
I think people like to have a fat friend to make themselves feel good. You know you have a true friend when they are encouraging you to lose wight and are so pleased for you when you do! I worked with a girl who lost four stone and i remember her complaining about her friends bitching about her...
Jesus make sure as soon as there is a bit of sun out and you are on target that u flaunt yourself in your bikini just to sicken that neighbour. what is it with some people that they think they have the right to say anything out loud??
Okay just bought high diamante sandals, a silver baguette bag and some sparkly flat sandals for when my feet get tired with all the dancing!!! On a roll today!!
It sounds pathetic but i am married to a gorgeous guy who loves me to bits and i really want to get back to the slim bubbly girl he fell in love with instead of the tracksuit wearing prefering night in front of the telly girl that i have turned into!!!
On day 13 today baps and feeling great! I dont think u meant to be having the flapjacks for the first two weeks according to lipotrim. Am a big binge eater in the evenings so great to be out of that trap just hope i dont go back to it!! xx
Had to read the thread when i saw the title!!! Avoiding one friend for a few weeks so i can flaunt my new figure in front of her, she tried lipotrim and lasted half a day saying it could not be healthy. Like eating chinese take away every night is????!!!
Hi Saffrons! So sorry to hear about ur little baby but thank god your daughter is doing so well! I have a five year old and a six month old and have been struggling with my weight since number two came along. On day 13 and feeling good though. Best of luck on ur journey though and this is an...
Welcome baps!! You will be fine once you think positive and drink loads of water! This time next week you will have lost pounds and will be so pleased with yourself! Best of luck. xx
cant wait to get to target and be able to do that look with nice long top with chunky belt, leggings and ugg boots!! Other mothers in school yard will not know whats going on with me they so used to seeing me in sporty gear!!
Good luck with the refeed!! My plan when i get to target is to once a week visit a chemist with a proper big scales and keep a check on my weight, my own little personal slimming club!! xx
I am at a funny stage. All my pre pregnancy clothes are still too tight on me and the bits and pieces i bought for the summer are too big! Planning on buying some nice tops to tide me over until back in old clothes, long enough to hide my gathered in jeans!!
The dress is in the sale section its called paradise jersey! Bought the teal one. I am thinking silver sandals and bag, advice needed. You looked so fab at your friends wedding so trust your judgement!!
Well my friends wedding is coming up in early September and i have just bought the dress online in the karen millen sale. Bought it in a size twelve so keep fingers crossed i will have lost my weight by then!!!
Well done!! Its great to be out of the trap of just eating for the sake of it. I really hope this is going to be the start of a new attitude towards food for us all instead of gobble gobble gobble!!! xx
