I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make whether to say someone is fat/obese etc. I would hope that if someone turned up to their GP with health related problems that were clearly linked to an excess of weight they would be provided with some advice and direction to reducing their...

Well, its the monday I said I was going to do my week 1 refeed weigh on my home scales and the scales show 95.6kg with the same clothes on, or 1.98lbs, since my last pharmacy weigh in was 95.6kg. I'm thinking that the key thing behind this loss despite it being said upthread that I didn't...

Another guy here (nearing the end of week one refeed)....I must be the exception when it came to the formulas as my pharmacy gave me 3 x female formula sachets based on the fact I class my lifestyle as sedentary and that they said they had more people preferring the option to 'fuel' three times...

Jan my apologies if I caused any offence/ I also have family friends on active service that I've spoken to them about the more unpleasant side-effects of their jobs and it seems at times the dark sense of humour they have rubs off on me. Thanks for your words and if I do gain by next week may...

Mad? Quite possibly, I am intending on starting a career in explosive ordnance disposal in a years time. :) (As someone once said, fastest way to lose weight? Explosive removal of a limb helps - please note this guy had lost his own leg doing mine clearance in Lebanon so I'm not making light of...

Ok, so I started refeed on Monday at 15st 2lbs. I did Monday with 2 shakes, tin of tuna and a small tin of peas, probably a little more than two teaspoon (or is it table spoons?) worth. Drank 2L of water as normal. Today I've had a shake in the morning and haven't really felt hungry at all...

Is that actually what happens? I'm trying to picture the shake surviving in your stomach acid before passing along the intestinal tract for the nutrients to be absorbed and I'm pretty sure that can take more than 15 minutes and there have been plenty of times where I've left a shake sitting for...

So, got weighed today, 96.5kg. Saw a different person at the pharmacy and I explained about the scales dancing the week before so we looked over my previous week from that and saw that over 2 weeks I lost 10lbs. Overall I have lost 18.8kg or 41.4lbs just shy of 3 stone in my 7 weeks on LT and...

Unfortunately as you are well aware, you have more than likely completely destroyed whatever progress you have made thus far as your first weeks weight loss is normally water. A glycogen molecule needs 3 water molecules to be stored, therefore when you're body is breaking the glycogen down for...

Putting aside who commissioned what (I've seen similar tests of 'independant' lab tests of ammunition but thats a different topic) I wouldn't be too surprised if the gist of the article was true. Harsh as it sounds I personally subscribe to the thought "If bits of you wobble like a jelly then...

Mild exercise won't pose a problem if anything I've found doing some cycling or a mile or so speed march (cover a mile in 15 minutes with a loaded rucksack) helps keep the odd energy slump at bay as well as helping keep the legs toned... 'leaf' teas are ok, fruit teas however are out of the...

Another easy way of picturing it is also when you consider physical volume, 1lb of lead is visually a lot smaller than 1lb of feathers. Thing is unless you have an 'abnormal' body (by which I mean no more muscle/fat than is necessary for your physical needs) then BMI is relatively accurate. If...

I do .22 target shooting now and again, though I've been going to the Bisley NRA open days since I knew about them about 2 years ago, missed out on the September one though so looking forward to the one next April/May. Other hobby I have is airsoft but its not quite the same sort of shooting...

Height - 178cm/5' 10'' Start Weight - 115.3kg clothed according to pharmacy scales. Goal Weight - 95kg clothed according to pharmacy scales. Currently I have 2.5-3kg left to lose, then I am done as such with weight loss via lipotrim, after doing the refeed and normalising on regular food I'm...

Its somewhat normal to have low and high weeks particularly as your body starts to switch over to proper fat burning (rather than eating up all your glycogen and getting rid of the water needed to store it). One thing I've found that is useful to give your body an extra kick start to keeping...

Heh, I quite like the vanilla shakes...but only for the fact that they go down the easiest. That said they tasted weird at first then after 3-4 weeks started to taste like Cadbury's white chocolate! Personally I'd prefer if they could somehow make them completely tasteless, but then I've been...

Right, so I've had my week 6 weigh in and came in at 97.35kg. Was a little concerned how the scales were dancing around a little though so used my home scales and they gave me 98.6kg...so lets call it an average of 98kg. Overall I'm still happy as the weight is still coming off progressively...

Not got experiance of doing Lipotrim then going onto Atkins (or any experiance of Atkins for that matter). However, while the first two weeks of loss on Lipotrim can seem impressive, you have to bear in mind that up to around 80% of this is going to be water weight. If your body stores say 1kg...

Something I've noticed over the last week so far, it seems that as I have been drinking roughly 3L of still water per day and have slowly worked up to that amount across the time that I'm awake I've found that its harder for me to take in more than 4-5 mouthfuls of water at a time. In the...

Lipotrim costs vary depending on area and also depending on if you are doing it off your own back or if you've been given medical orders. Generally, its £36 for women (x3 female pouches a day) and £51 for me (4x female pouches a day) As I've implied, theres two types of formula, male and...

Hey guys and gals Some people may or may not remember me doing LT some time last year and I made some pretty significant losses (just shy of 40lbs) and refed successfully and was eating pretty much what I wanted without worrying about my weight going up....right up until I got round to doing my...

Might take a bit longer than that to clear...might I ask do you get really eggy smelling burps as well? About this time last year I had a weird gastric quirk, if I ate anything late at night (student lol) and then only got 2-3 hours sleep I could time it like clockwork that within 24 hours I...

Jesus...glad to hear you are ok. (Know we haven't spoken directly but I don't like hearing about people getting gratuitously hurt) This may sound like it flies in the face of what this forum possibly stands for but considering your circumstances it would be best just to take time away from LT...

Could just be the 'slurry' of your binge acting up then depending on what it was, timing isn't exactly out of the ordinary either as I didn't have to go about 2 weeks into LT, which was a tad unpleasant to say the least. Try sparkling water instead of plain water and remember to drink little...

How long have you been on LT for and if you've recently started what was the last thing you ate? If you are actually having extended periods of proper diarrhoea then be sure to keep your water intake up, try taking some immodium too and if its not sorted itself out within 24-36 hours go see a...

Tastes vary from person to person, I can't stand anything but the vanilla so I've had that for the last 6 weeks. You can choose what flavours you want from the chemist, easiest thing to do is perhaps ask for a variety, if there are any you don't like you can normally take them back to exchange.

Its called Fibresure isn't it? I didn't take any fibre supplements while on LT and got mildly constipated first time I went to the toilet, all other times after that have been fine so that might have been a water thing. The Fibresure stuff increases your fibre intake without any additional...

Hi Lisa Not sure if you've seen the LT DVD but it does say that the typical female loss over a month is a stone but that doesn't mean that is all you will lose. As I am a guy they say the typical loss is 1.5st due to the higher calorific demand but as you can see from my timeline that I've lost...

Another vote here for the shaker, its been indispensable for me because work doesn't have a blender and its, for me, a lot less mess, noise and hassle cleaning afterwards. I'll reiterate whats been said about only using them for cold drinks, I once tried to make the chicken soup in it only for...

Well it was my final weigh in today coming in at 97.65kg (15st 5lb clothed) on the pharmacy scales clothed. Getting home I took my weight in my underwear and weighed in at 95.1kg. (just a teeny bit of 14st 13lbs). Its funny how quickly times gone by but also how dramatic the effects have been...

Well done on your first weeks loss and not jacking it in, it does get easier as the first week is something of a shock to your body but it will adapt and from then on you just need to concentrate on not nibbling on stuff and keeping the water intake up. I've only got 5 days to go before refeed...

Week 5 weigh in update: A somewhat dissappointing weight loss this week (See sig) however overall I am happy with my overall loss. My weight taken at the pharmacy was 100.33kg, once I got home and took my weight in just boxers and t-shirt I was actually 97.4kg, just under a 3kg difference...

Oh nasty... What flavour shake was it and how well mixed was it? I am actually doing the female shakes (3 shakes a day, each shake made with 250ml of water, all fits in a mug and can be drank in about 3 seconds). I know for a fact that I can't stand the chicken soup and unless I've thoroughly...

Thanks for the comments. Moanz: I found it got to a state of normality after about 6 days, but the only persistant problem is when you stumble upon that half hour or so you would normally be eating in (like a cup of tea and toast while watching Silent Witness), at least for me anyway. Think...

Can't remember what the choc tastes like as since I've started all I've been on is Vanilla (sometimes with coffee) as I find it the one with the least after taste If you are a coffee drinker try putting a tea spoon of coffee in your shakes, it helps change the taste sometimes if you get bored...

Fourth week completed and I've gone from 105kg to 102.5kg, or just a smidgen under 6.5lbs loss. I'm really starting to see a difference now in how my moobs have began a tactical retreat into nothingness and that a majority of my clothes are now a lot baggier than they used to be. I only have...

Thanks for the input guys, and its by no means too much information. I've been fine going after that first incident but wondered just where the excreted material was coming from.

Bit of a weird one this and I apologise in advice for TMI but I have some questions about LT and its affects on digestive movements. My first question is do the shakes have some form of indigestable material in them? I ask this because prior to starting lipotrim I had a last supper so to...

Bit annoyed this week, went to my 3rd weigh in and had only lost 1.85kg from my last weigh in, or 4lbs and the woman asked if I had been cheating! Which I most certainly have not been >:( My weight however is now down to 231lbs from 253lbs (clothed, wore the same outfit to weigh ins for...

Thanks for the comments so far, and congrats on your first weeks loss Molly68. Quick question, just brushed my teeth so I don't wake up with sewer mouth and I swallowed a tiny bit of toothpaste foam....that's not going to knock me out of ketosis is it? I have ketostix so I'll check in the...

Well this is me back in from my Week 2 weigh in, only dropped 2.5kg (5.5lbs) but progress is progress and bar the stinky breath and a slight rash on my chest I'm feeling pretty good. I skipped one shake on two days this week although I've been keeping up with the water intake as much as...

I don't want to sound like a wet blanket here but I would reccomend that when you get a chance you get yourself some decent kip, or consider taking naps when possible. I can't remember where I read it but the minimum amount of sleep a human needs is 2 hours and this shouldn't be repeated over a...

Funnily enough I've only been on LT 9 days now and I have a rash across my chest and a bit on my throat and its red, it doesn't itch or anything but looks unsightly - fortunately I wear tops with high neck bits (fleece like jumpers - good for the season) so its not a big worry at the moment. I...

Thanks. I'm 177cm tall...or 5foot 10inches if you use imperial. I'm aiming to get down to 92kg or as close as over 8 weeks really, 6 of those being on LT, the last two refeeding as I am told it is quite possible to still lose weight while refeeding especially if you hit the gym as long as you...

I haven't lost a lot of weight on this yet but if I recall biology lessons correctly, your skin is elastic so it does have a degree of being able to stretch (when we gain weight though stretch marks appear when the rate of expansion is too much to cope with) and shrink back to a smaller size...

Well, tis been an interesting week... Started Lipotrim after being recommended by my GP last Thursday and had my weigh in today. Started at 115.3kg (weighed on Wed)'suited and booted' and dressed exactly how I was I was weighed in today at 109.35kg. I opted to do the female stuff which I told...

Hi everybody! [/Dr Nick] I've started lipotrim last Thursday and so far finding it ok, intending on doing it for 6 weeks and already I'm starting to see results of a reduction from 115kg fully clothed to 110.9kg. I've been reading the forum as a guest for a few days and I'm finding it quite...
