my best advice is to try and not get stressed about it (easier said than done) I had the worst eating habits before tfr and I was on it for about 8 weeks and been back on food now for a couple of months and things are so much different I totally feel in control and if I want a treat I just go...

after 7 weeks tfr my body was fighting me so bad that I made the decision to move onto the maintanence as I felt that I had reprogrammed myself enough to lose the last st with maintanence and healthy eating and have to say it was the right decision at the right time I am now having 3 small low...

my work colleagues have been great good luck on your journey xx

remember a loss is a loss and you are doing an awful lot of activity for your first week the walking will be making you feel drained your energy levels do pick up on this diet but it also takes you a little longer to recover too so continuous exercise in the first week will leave you knackered x...

first time round i used a pretty rubbish pharmacy thats one reason I blame for putting weight back on as he gave no advice re refeed or coming off tfr have a really good pharmacist now who is very helpful x

yes why???????

if you feel you need the higher amount then keep taking the higher amount I drink between 3 and 4 ltrs a day I am already depriving my body of food and asking it to survive on minimal calories there is no way that I am depriving it of water too x listen to your body 5lb is a very good loss you...

had my 3rd weigh in and have lost 9lb this week thats 1st 10lb in 3 weeks yippee xx

Hi just wondering how you decided on your goal weight? if I went with my BMI mine would be 9.5st but that is way too small for me so I have decided that I would be happy at 10.5st and that would take me to a size 10/12 x

I have set myself my first mini goal and that is to be 13st by my little girls 1st birthday on 16th March that gives me another stone to lose and that will mean I am at my lightest weight in about 2yrs!!!! determined not the word I know I can do this x cause after that just another 3st to lose...

I would avoid excessive exercise as it will take you ages to recover (been there done it lol not nice) but as you are normally active I would not just do nothing maybe go for a swim or just a walk after the first week you should be fine but take it slowly at first x

well done I have weigh in number 3 tomorrow x

I have a few reasons but my biggest reason is my little girl I want to be able to enjoy time together playing and running around and I would be absolutely mortified if she was ever embarrassed to be seen with me in front of her friends......

Hi guys I thought I would add a little diary so that I can look back on my success and determination and something to read to remind myself why I am doing this. I done lipotrim once before and got down to a healthy 11st and a comfy size 12 I was happy with this and felt amazing but slowly it...

well done fantastic result really gives the determination a kick start x

it will depend on how much exercise you have done in the past also if you overdo it on this diet too early you really pay the price and feel shattered (been there done it learnt my mistake lol) best exercise I always find to start with is swimming as it is gentle but works out your whole body...

Hi I am just nearing the end of week 2 and have about 5 stone to lose and I am absolutely determined! the best thing I find about this diet (been on it once before then made excuses during pregnancy to stuff my face lol) is that it teaches you to have your 3 meals a day and cut out snacks. I am...

I use my clothes to track my weight loss and I have a very very unflattering photo from xmas time that I will compare with a new photo that I will take after my 3rd week x last time I was on lipotrim I was amazed at the speed in which my clothes fitted me and I loved taking the pics to show it...

I know lipotrim is very much mind over matter but I have found a very surprising way to help me stick to it 100% I cook sounds wierd but I find that if I start to struggle and feel hungry I make my husband and my daughter something to eat from scratch and it takes my hunger away (wierd I know)...

I have myself in quite a good routine and have exactly 6hrs between shakes I have a very active physical life (gives me absolutely no excuses for all my weight gain) wake up 4am have a cup of green tea and a pint of water up and out to do horse first shake 7am on way to work breakfast at work...

try peppermint tea do get rid of hunger pangs it worked for me xxxx stick with it it will be worth it

I am not going to lie and say I found it easy I did struggle for the first couple of days but I think I was worryng about it so much but now Ijust relax and I know I can have 3 meals a day as long as they are healthy andfilling

I weighed myself for the first time since starting refeed last wed I used my own scales which have always shown the sameweight as my pharmacist scales Iwas expecting to gain really as I had been out for a chinese lunchon mon but apart fromthat have been particularly good I am enjoying my salads...

I have a personal alarm and trust me it is loud actually hurts your ears it is very easy to activate as well. it is a sad situation when we have to take precautions like this but anything o stay safe and keep fit and healthy the joining a running club is a great idea there are loads round me

good luck on your LT journey xxxx

I love me wii fit we were lucky and got one when they first came out (I pre ordered it) I still cannot believe how hard it is to get hold of

I know how you feel I have been refeeding for over a week and was doing great I lost 4lb but then put on 3lb when I went for a chinese meal!!! going to have to up the exercise I think good luck for next week

how full and most impotantly satisfied after each little meal I have been sticking to maintenance bar for brekkie (I split it in 2 and have half a bit later on) it is so filling chicken and salad for lunch and last night had 5 new pots and I have a tuna salad wrap for my tea. I feel full and...

I have not had the desire to go back to drinking anything other than water and tea and I think I will stick to that x

never ate veg had a wierd phobia about it even went to a hypnotist last year to try and help but I absolutely loved it yesterday!!!!

tell me about it my mum should get commission!!!! and since I started it I have had so many enquiries and people going along to the chemist

I started refeed yesterday and for the first time in my life I enjoyed veg taking it easy though but just out of curiousity I wanted to see if I had put any weight on and I have lost 2lb for the first time in about 10yrs my scales say 10st13lbs that is such a magic number for me to be 10st...

woohoo how much did I enjoy veg for the first time in my life and that is no joke and I know I shouldn't but I jumped on the scales this morning to see if I had put anything on from eating and I have lost 2lb!!!

I was constantly at the loo the first week think that is why my first loss was so high I have a fair walk at work the toilet!!!! I woulve it a go for the first week hun see how you feel after that it does take your body time to adjust especially if you are not used to consuming so much liquid...

I have lost 30.7lbs and it has taken me 4 weeks!!! I am extremely active so it just shows how awful my diet was before LT!!!! good luck with your journey I will not pretend it is easy but it is well worth it

my plan is just to eat healthy and portion control but mainly I do not want to deny myself something just have it in moderation maybe a treat once a week something to look forward to as I always feel the more I the more I crave then I just binge

my trouble with eating etc is not helped by my job I work constant nights so just thinking about how to plan my meals and was wondering if this sounds like a good plan I work 10pm til 8 am I have a very physical job lots of walking and heavy lifting I plan on having a maintenance bar when I...

I know everyone has said about my weight looking good the way it is now I have come to the conclusion that I have a lot of muscle as no one can believe I am still 11st thankyou for your comments guys it really makes me feel great xxxx

lipotrim has changed my life could see no way to lose the weight I needed and couldnot get myself motivated now I am 30lbs lighter wearing a size 12 jeans and i have so much confidence even wanting to experiment with food

ha ha yes I got skinless breast!!! am nervous in an excited way (sounds sad doesn't it)

I am finding it hard at the moment I have lost 30lbs and everyone ys comments and says how fantastic I look but I struggle to see a difference I think because I have been over weight for so long I do not think you should focus on how you look but how you feel I am starting refeed this week...

I am going to start refeed as of today and have got myself some chicken and salad for my tea tonight does this sound ok alsoI have ordered some maintenence bars as well which should be here tomorrow. I am looking forwait as before I started LT I had so many food phobias especially over veg but...

I went for my fourth and final weigh in on TFR today I have decided to start refeed as although I still want to lose another stone I would like to do this following a healthy diet as I do not want to lose the last bit too quickly as I feel I would struggle to cope with such a drastic change so...

fantastic start to your LT journey well done xx

hi I am planning on doing the same and my weight is more or less the same as you I think that I can lose the other st I want to by sticking to 2 shakes and a healthy meal good luck and enjoy your meal xxxx

my plan was 10st so I thin going to try and do the rest on a healthy eating diet see how I go

tomorrow will be my 4th weigh in so I have lost 2 stone in that time so think I just need start losing a bit slower now if that makes sense.

well done it is such a fantastic feeling and just makes all the hard work and determination worth while.

I was thinking about starting to introduce some small healthy meals this week as well as still having 2 shakes does this sound like an ok idea?? and if so what would be best to start off with?? was thinking maybe just veg soup and salads??

funny as to what everyone is saying about my weight no one can believe that I still weigh 11st they all guess at about 9st5lbs my plan was to get to 11st on LT and then lose another stone doing slimming world but not sur really want tolose anymore as I am now worried that I will look ill?? for...

I still cannot believe I can fit into a size 12 it seems so unreal!!!

Hi you sound like you have the same plan as me ie weight loss I too am down to 11 st but have went out and bought myself my first pair of size 12 skinny jeans and they fit so I guess it goes by different body types ut I do not think it will be much longer til you reach your goal size. my plan...

i think BMI is a bit dangerous anyway so I think it is a good idea if I were to get down to a "nomal healthy BMI" I would in my opinion look ill due to my build there are too many people making themselves ill trying to achieve a healthy BMI

do not worry I am only planning on being on LT for about another week as to be honest I think I will have lost enough to make me happy and comfortable

I can second that I have never really been into cooking du to my wierd food phobias and lck of interesting diet but the last week I have loved cooking for OH and have enjoyed experimenting with various different recipes and like you I have apsolutely no temptation

I was away all day today competing and spending time with my OH when without even thinking about it and the fact I m not meant to I ate a smallportion of chips which I know is cheating and it is the first time since I started but you see I had no desire t eat any more when normally before I...

eyes is delighted you see I am sort of doing this for him he is an ex race horse so is pretty fine legged and he has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in his back legs and was diagnosed last year with it in his front legs so I decided enough was enough it was hardly fair to keep asking him...

now when I started LT just over 3 weeks ago I was literally bursting out a 14 (would say I was a 16 but just too scared to admit it) and I could feel my clothes getting looser as the weeks went by so oday I decided to purchase a size 12 skinny jeans with the thought of fitting into them in a...

i had major spots for the first week and a half but they are clearing up now

I seem to be managing to achieve reasonably high losses every week so far even though I do not have a huge amount to lose so thought I would share an insight into my life (please do not try this at home) you go out and purchase a lunatic ex race horse straight off the track that has more get...

I must be one of the lucky ones my scales show exact same as pharmacy!! well done great weight loss

that is such a thoughtful thing to do my mum reaaly supports me as she was on LT for about 10 weeks so knows how hard it can be just seems to make the struggle worthwhile when things like that happen

wow that is fantastic xxxx

well done that is great xxxx

I feel great everything is hanging off me!!!! plan on doing this til I reach 10.5 st and then maybe 2 shakes and a low carb meal?? not wanting to reach my ideal weight that quickly as it is under 10st and I do not want it to be such a shock emotionally if that makes sense and I struggle to...

I am wearing clothes that were tight on me on holiday in may but they are now hanging off but resisting shopping until I reach my goal or near enough I am lucky I live in jodpurs and tracksuit bottoms

that is a really good loss when I had TOTM I used to put on about 5lb!!

I felt I hadnt lost much this week but to my surprise I lost another 7.5lbs it may wellbe your hormones and if you are going to the toilet so much are you drinking enough water to make it up?? good luck with weigh in

I hated the strawberry ones but now actually quite enjoy them they are best made with ice cold water

I bruise easily anyway but at the moment my legs look like a patch work quilt!!!! I am worse after I have been out on my horse

I think as an introducyion to exercise that is a bit much to be honest when I started to train for the marathon a few years and a few stone ago even I started out with just walking for at least 2 weeks it is not just your heart etc that needs to get used to exercise it is the reat of your body...

you can die from water poisoning there is a thread on here about it somewhere? 6 litres I think is the max you should drink but I could be wrong

listerine did not help me get rid of the taste it was the ratar dex mouth wash that did it it is designed to get rid of bad breathe and it is tasteless as mint and metal did not mix for me!!!

I have just had my first week and trust me that first weigh in makes it so worth while!!

wow that is a fantastic achievement you must be so proud of yourself

corsodyl mouth wash or retar dex mouth wash I had the same thing last week and the retar dexmouth wash sorted it out xx
