I'm not sure I've eaten enough food, but was on 810 last week and even had a few drinks and a packet of crisps one night, and still managed to lose 4lbs. Moved up to 1000 this week as I'm going away the weekend after next. Really going to find it difficult to put anything that's not protein in...

Well I have been drinking Perfectly Clear (Strawberry & kiwi and Red Apple), throughout the diet and have lost 20lbs in 6 weeks and I am thrilled. Couldn't have done it without as I really can't drink large amounts of plain water. I'm going away in just over a week so have started refeeding, but...

I switched from LT to CD just over a week ago. Like you I only liked one flavour of their shakes and found the flapjacks inedible. On CD I love the choice. So many flavoured shakes to choose from. Ready made tetras which can be frozen into ice cream. Chocolate bars that really are as good as...

Banana Bliss tetra as ice cream, really is bliss. Just had half. Yummy

Yes, I mixed half a sachet with a small amount of water. Put the mix between 2 sheets of baking paper and rolled it with a rolling pin till it was really thin. Put it in the microwave for about 1mins 30 and it was like a lovely poppadom. I broke it up into crisps. Gorgeous. Can't wait to make...

Mine is by Marcy, which I especially loved because of the name. You can see it on the Littlewoods site, but I got a real bargain. There's a more compact version on a shopping channel, Via-tv for £109.99 There's also a small version on Ideal World called Power Tonic for £139.99 incl. p&p...

I lost weight this week but was worried as my tummy was so swollen and rock hard. It usually only does this the day before my period, and I'm not due till the weekend. But, this morning I had real period pains in my back, so i think it'll be early for me, and I'm usually regular as clockwork...

I got a different brand from Ebay, but mine looks exactly the same, but is pink! The lady selling lived close by, so I managed to fit it in my car, and save on delivery, so it cost me less than £100. Worth every penny. They sell them on one of the shopping channels for around £150 I think

I love it with cinnamon too. I like my ready brek lumpy, so I don't mind the lumps, but sometimes add more water for a change. One a day for me. Love it.

You stand or sit on it while it vibrates. I've only had mine for a few days, but I love it. This is what it claims to do: "The Latest craze to shed pounds,tone your body and look and feel great. The Body Sculpture BM1510 Programmable Vibro Plate offers excellent functionality and great value...

I love the porridge with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Butterscotch is my favourite sweet shake, with crushed ice. Love the Chicken & Mushroom as a poppadom. The strawberry tetras as ice cream are nice, but I am trying banana this week and can't wait for that. Going to try the bars for the first...

I've just invested in a vibroplate. I love using it, so hopefully it'll work.

Congratulations on the 4st. Whoever said that to you should be embarrassed for being so insensitive. I have times when I look like I could be pregnant, as do most of my friends, but would never dream of asking someone. When my stomach is at it's largest, I've found that some of the high waist...

That is amazing, J And you only started in July. How fab. You really do look like a different person, you must feel wonderful. Congratulations

I have been very strict and losing well (will find out officially tomorrow), but my stomach has swelled out and is pretty hard. My bottom and thighs which were my worst areas seem to have gone down and look more toned. Has anyone else found that their stomach swells in the early stages? I have...

I have been drinking the Perfectly Clear strawberry & kiwi water all week, as recommended by my cdc as I don't like plain water and was not drinking enough, even with the flavourings added. I am drinking over 3 litres a day. I haven't had any extra cravings, in fact I feel less hungry since...

A real inspiration, Nade. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. To get there without exercise is even more incredible, as you would never know looking at you now.

Thank you for all your advice. I am still losing so will keep drinking it until my next official weigh in. Rather than making me hungry, it is actually filling me up and I am now drinking more than the minimum amount of water, whereas before I was struggling. My next weigh in is Tuesday, so I'll...

She did say it was only the strawberry & kiwi as it's the only one that doesn't contain citric acid. It is the first time I've drunk more than enough water, as I was struggling with plain water. I'll see what my weigh in is next Tuesday. Thank you

Thanks for your replies, but oh dear. My CDC said it was ok as I'm on my 3rd week, and as it didn't contain citric acid, I've been drinking it all day. She lost 12 stone, so I thought she must have known. I also have the flavouring.

I have a job drinking plain water, so I bought some flavouring which has been a big help. My cdc also said that I'm allowed one type of flavoured water. Perfectly Clear, but only the strawberry & kiwi flavour, as it doesn't contain citric acid. I love it, and can drink gallons of the stuff, so...

I have just switched from Lipotrim to CD and I am finding it much easier and much more enjoyable. The choice is great and I really look forward to porridge in the morning. I didn't take any of the choc bars this week as I am happy with the choice I have now, as I only liked the strawberry shake...

Thank you for your advice. I am going to give CD a go. I haven't really missed food too much, just variety especially savoury. I'm not too bothered about chocolate. As I travel a lot though I also think it will be easier to stick to. Thanks again. This is a lovely place.

I called a counsellor and the difference is less than £2. I know some are happy with the lack of variety, but I think I need more variety as I only really enjoy the strawberry shake and miss having something savoury. I also work away quite a lot so CD will be more convenient for me. I'm...

I think I'm going to switch to Cambridge tomorrow. I've made an appointment with a counsellor. I only really enjoy the strawberry shakes and I am worried I will get bored very quickly. Also really missing something savoury and I can't manage the chicken soup any more, although I didn't mind it...

Thank you for all the tips. I do spend many days working away from home, so may be best trying CD. I can always go back to Lipotrim. The lady in my chemist is also pretty much like a counsellor. I think I'll give CD counsellor a call and take it from there.

I started on Lipotrim last week and lost 8.5lbs in week one, but as my other half is on Atkins, I was thinking of switching to that or maybe Cambridge 1st because of the choice. Like you though I don't want to keep switching, but want something that I can stick to and won't take forever

I'm on my 2nd week of Lipotrim. I have been coping well with the shakes, but can't eat the flapjacks. Lost 8.5 lbs in week one, which I was very happy about. I have slipped up, as my flight was cancelled and had no shakes, so had a bit of chicken yesterday. Just wondering whether to switch to...

That is brilliant. Congratulations

Well done on your loss. I slipped up yesterday and felt terrible, but I was working away, and my last flight home was cancelled on Friday night, so had to get a flight last night instead, and I'd only taken my shakes for the day. I didn't pig out. Only had some chicken, as I had to eat...

Congratulations on your loss. I'm also just back from my 1st weigh in, and have lost 8.5 lbs. I'm over the moon. :) This week I've worked out which shakes are my favourites. I love the strawberry with crushed ice, so start the day with that. Vanilla for lunch and hot chocolate for dinner. I...

Thank you for your advice, Gemma. Just what I needed, as I felt bad about the couple of slices of turkey, and really wasn't worth breaking the diet for. I am determined to stick to just shakes until my weigh in on Wednesday, then hopefully feel inspired to be strict on week 2. You are all so...

I had a couple of thin slices of turkey today, and felt guilty. But, it hasn't made me want to eat anything else. Hope it doesn't affect weight loss too much as it's my first week.

I had to take me flapjacks back. I forced the peanut one down, but couldn't even finish the coconut one. Too salty and not a nice texture. It's a shame as I would love to chew something occasionally.

Good luck Paula and peapod. I'm on Day 4 and really coping better than I thought I would. My OH's just started on Atkins and the fry ups are knocking me sick. Not even tempted as I don't feel hungry at all.

Congratulations on your loss. These weight conversions can be confusing. I am 11st 6lbs which I thought was 160lbs, seeing as 10st=140lbs and at 14lb in a stone it should be 140 + 14 + 6 = 160lbs, but all the converters I've found have said that 160lbs is 11st 4lbs :confused:

Well done. I'm on day 4 and can't believe that I still don't feel hungry. I almost ate a crisp last night, but stopped myself. Can't wait for my first weigh in on Wednesday and I hope I've lost quite a bit to keep me motivated. I'm struggling with the water as I don't like plain water, but...

Thank you for the welcome Judy. Only on day 2, but feeling really good and can't wait for the first weigh in.

I'm 5'5 and 12/14 and weigh 11st 6 I think everyone is different though

Thank you. I'll get some of those strips and go back to the pharmacy and swap the flapjacks for shakes. Thanks so much for your help.

I am on day 2. I found day 1 quite easy. Had a strawberry shake for breakfast, a peanut flapjack for lunch and a vanilla shake for dinner. Really liked the shakes but hated the flapjack. I found the tastes and texture very difficult to enjoy. Had to literally force it down. Going to swap the...

I'm a newbie. Starting Lipotrim in the morning. I decided on this after reading all of the posts on this forum, so fingers crossed I can stick to it. I went to the chemist this morning and weighed in at 11st 6lbs. Doesn't sound too heavy, I know, but it is the heaviest I've ever been and haven't...
