    I've had a bad bad week...

    Hi guys It's the time of year I reckon!! Wasn't there something in the paper about this being the time that most people call in sick to work or something? Anyway - I had a bad week too. We'd been lipotrimming for two weeks, and I was down 14lbs. Then hubbie just decided it wasn't for him...

    Mother in law - grrrrrr

    fallenangel, congratulations on what you've achieved so far. Dropping from a size 20 to a size 14 is no mean feat. Try not to take your MIL's comments to heart. I know how difficult it is when people don't seem to support you. I went out on Saturday night and had someone who I thought was a...

    Has anyone here never ever never cheated on a VLCD...

    I've thought about taking a break, but I can't get my head around. If I take a break, I can't just go back to eating the way I used to, because that will mean that as soon as my dieting is done then I'll fall back into the bad old ways immediately. If I take a break and refeed and then go...

    Has anyone here never ever never cheated on a VLCD...

    A friend of mine in Ireland is on it for about 24 days now and hasn't cheated once. I know that's not long in the grand scheme of things. I've been on LT 7 days and didn't cheat - and I went to the pub tonight (sparkling water) and to a whisky tasting in my friend's house (with pizzas). I...

    What made you all get big in the first place????

    Hi Catwoman. I'm in Woking. My family really are nice people, they just have a really messed up response to my appearance. I'm the youngest. Thankfully now I'm past the things they say about my appearance, and I'm changing it for me, not for them. I have a very supportive hubby who's...

    What made you all get big in the first place????

    When I was a kid, I felt fat. I wasn't. In other people, this would lead to anorexia. Me, I just ignored my weight. The first time I remember thinking "Wow, am I really fat?" I was 8 years old. I went to a neighbour's house to see if one of my friends was coming out to play. His dad answered...

    New kid on the block (sorry forum!)

    hahahah - seriously, nobody's ever going to recommend that you have some vodka diet cokes. You can get away with whatever you want to. You don't have to apologise to people for being on a diet. It it bothers them that you're dieting, then it's probably triggering some guilt in them that...

    Help help help! Need to stop eating...

    Hi Jodie - what Mini says is so true. Even if you do slip, that doesn't mean you've failed utterly and you should just pack in your efforts. Look at it this way: it's not easy to be fat. It's really not. Other people belittle you and presume you're stupid because you're fat. You can't...

    Have to go out for a meal!

    If you're that embarassed about skipping the meal, you could go, either pretend to get a phone call or pretend to be ill before the starter is served, and bugger off up to your room for an hour or an hour and a half. Return to the table as dessert is finishing, tell them you had a family...

    We got the DVD the first time we went and that was useful. This week was all the info about refeeding and maintenance, but also some preparatory bits and pieces we should have got last week. All in all it was useful. I'm delighted with hubbie's 11lb weight loss - it was the incentive he...

    Early Weigh In Early weigh in today!! Our pharmacy doesn't open on the weekends, so Friday is our weigh in day, but we won't have been on Lipotrim a full week until tomorrow. I'm down 7lbs, hubbie's down 11lbs! And the pharmacy were MUCH BETTER!! The girl who was looking after us last...

    Just started Lipotrim today!

    I'm at home every day too Jem!! I'm lucky in one way, because it's just the hubby and I and he's Lipotrimming with me, so there's no cooking gone on in our kitchen for the last week. The biggest problem earlier today was when I opened a cupboard above the kettle automatically while making...

    Just started Lipotrim today!

    Hi Jem I'm only five days in and the hunger pangs have pretty much gone. Having a hard day today though - I'm tired and I have a load of work on and I'm craving the comfort of something like sloppy pasta. Not hungry, just craving. :) Drink water all day - I'm hanging out of a bottle at the...

    Hmmm - bizarre side effect! Am in ketosis as of yesterday. Made a vanilla shake this morning and weirdly I'm finding it sickly sweet. I don't think I'll ever eat anything vanilla again when I'm done on this diet! Energy levels are up though and I'm not craving food any more. Yesterday...

    today is the rest of my life

    I make up about 1.5 tsps of instant coffee with about the same amount of hot water to make sure the grounds dissolve. Then I put that coffee syrup in a blender with ice cold water, ice cubes and a vanilla shake mix. Blitz and pour into a tall glass. Then pretend you're having an iced...

    Hi sonkie We're doing well! Day three today. Hunger pangs aren't really bothering me. I keep imagining my hunger pangs as little pitchfork-wielding devils in my stomach, and I drink lots of water to drown them. :) Hubbie is doing well - I was more worried about him than me. He splits his...

    Hi Gray - yeah, both hubbie and I have one benefit from our fitter days - the weight has gone on us evenly for the most part and we've just formed his n hers matching guts in the last year. :) I'm expecting him to lose quicker than me, because he has more muscle mass. When you put on weight...

    Thanks for the support guys. I did as much research on LipoTrim as I could before I said I'd do it - I even spoke to my GP on the phone regarding the dangers of VLCD dieting. Once he'd grilled me about why I wasn't "just" taking up an exercise regime and utterly changing the way I eat, (who's...

    Hi guys Spotted this forum, and I've just started Lipotrim so I'm hoping for some support! The hubbie and I are on day one of Lipotrim, and we're committed, but we have other problems. Neither of us are vastly overweight - my BMI is 27, his is 29. We chose this programme for one simple...
