Hi all, I have decided to take the plunge again and join the Lipotrim pharmacy programme. I did this 8 years ago and lost 2 stone. Which I have kept off! I need to loose around a further 4 stone, but really need a stone or two in 8 weeks. My 'baby' girl is getting married and I don't want...

Hi, I have got a load of carrots to use up. Has anyone got any ideas for recipes, please? I've done the carrot and coriander soup and scan bran carrot cake ( which is amazing, by the way) and am not stuck as to what to do with the rest. I could always blanch them and freeze them, but I'm not too...

Wow! That sounds gorgeous. I'll be trying that tomorrow. Thanks for sharing :) x

Thanks everyone :) I am determined to do it. Good luck to you all, here's to seeing less of us all soon xx

Hi, I am starting again...for the last time! I have joined Slimming World and have successfully removed 2 stone 10 pounds so far. I have a long way yet to go, but am determined that this is going to be the rest of my life eating plan. The encouragement and support I gain from my group is...

:D Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in a while, have been studying hard!!! I have lost another 2 kgs!! I am sooo chuffed. Thanks for all the support guys. I think I would have crumbled without it . Lisa x x

Well done you! x

Hiya, I know it is an expensive programme, but if you think how much going to a regular slimming club is per week, plus the food to follow the diet, then this works out about the same. Especially if you buy the sweets and stuff at the meeting, like I used to!!! LOL If you decide to go for it...

Good luck and welcome believeican, you will look amazing for your holiday!!

Ahh, you may be jealous... but look at your weight loss compared to mine!! It is going to take me much longer to get to goal, and it will cost me loads more too :( But on the bright side, I am still losing, and I don't feel as though I am losing control over the fact that I am eating... which is...

Wow!! You look like a totally different person!! You look amazing, you should be sooooo proud of yourself! What an inspiration to all x x x

That is AMAZING donjon!! GO YOU!!! x x x

Well done!!!! You should be really proud of yourself x x x

Well done Aaron!!! Fantastic losses!!

Hi everyone, I am really pleased!!:D My blood pressure has stabilised, still on the low side, but ok. I have been having 2 shakes and a light meal (not many carbs) and have still lost 2 kgs this week!!!! YEEAAAHHHH!!! That is a stone down. Keep up the good work every one Lisa x x

Good luck x

Good for you!! That's the positive mental attitude that will get you through this!!!! Good luck hun x

I agree whole heartedly with GirlyChick. I too didn't realise that I was addicted to food. In fact I would always defend myself by saying that I only eat healthy food., which is true to a certain degree, it wasn't so much what I was eating, but the amount!! This programme is giving me the chance...

Don't worry too much hun, today is a new day. You are human after all!!! As my dear old mum used to say 'it is just a slipped stitch in life's rich tapestry'. Good luck x

OH MY GOSH!!! Fantastic!!!!! Well done you x x

That is amazing!!! Well done you:angel:

Hi, when I went to the GP and mentioned about my dizziness, the first thing she asked was if I was drinking coffee. Aparantly, if you have caffeine when you are on such a restricted calorie diet, the caffeine can turn to glucose in your blood stream, making it harder to combat cravings etc, so...

WOW 6 stone... thats a 5 year old you are no longer carrying round!!! Well done you x x

That isn't a bad idea!!! I wasn't coping with LT so went to the GP (who is monitoring me, by the way coz I have low blood pressure) and she has said that once you are following a restrictive programme like this, caffeine can turn to glucose in the blood. Are you drinking coffee or tea? If you...

Well done you, I could do with having a bash at that too x

Well, what can I say? WOW! What a difference... GO YOU! x

Good luck hun x

Wow! What willpower!! Well done you! x

Well done on your weightloss!!! 6lb is a fantastic start x

Hi Yasmin, I can't help with the food I am afraid, I just wanted to let you know that I am hoping for a speedy recovery for your sister. x

I think you should refeed for your hols, have a fab time and then decide. Good luck, you have done fantastically well. You are an inspiration x

Well done you x

I agree with Jan, LT definately need to be informed of the slip shod approach they have got. Don't worry hun, you will be fine. Keep smiling and stay strong x

I am sorry to hear your news. It must have come as a huge shock for you both. But, well done on your weight loss x x

I think it is because my blood pressure has always been on the low side and it has reduced slightly today. She wants to see me next week too to monitor it.

Fantastic! Well done you x

Well done you! x

Hi, I am under the GP as well as getting my shakes from the chemist. I have been today for a consultation and check up as to how I am doing & my doc has advised me that from my next visit to her, I am to have 2 shakes a day and a healthy, low carb evening meal. (next Thursday) I am going to take...

Good idea!! I think I might do the same, but then again, I think I have got a rainbow of sizes in a vacuum bag under the bed that I have 'grown' out of! LOL Well done on reaching your first goal x

WOW!!! Go you, well done x

Well done!!!! I bet you feel amazing x

That is fab!! Well done you x

Well done you x x x

Good luck! x

Well you must be doing something right!! 4lbs well done you x

Yup, minimum 4 pints plus shakes x

That is fantastic!!! I bet you can't stop smiling x x

I know!! It is rather tasty LOL

Well done you!! x

Oh , sorry, forgot to mention. Yes you can heat up the shakes. Hot mint- choc... yum. And you can add coffee to a hot vanilla to make a latte. Also, if you like horliks or white choc, you use hot water for the vanilla and add sweetener to taste, is quite nice too. x

Hi, what I do is make my peppermint tea (as long as it is leaf tea then you are fine to use bags... I do) and add the shake powder to it and whisk as per normal, and viola, a choc-mint shake!! If I want it cold, then obviously i just let the tea cool first. If you want to drink something a...

Well done you x

What a rude woman!!Good for you, putting her in her place! You know what they say, a little knowlege is a dangerous thing, and she proved that she knows nothing about this programme!!!! x

Well done you!!!Keep it up x

You will do it too!!

That is soooo supportive of him! I too have a fab hubby who supports me. He tried to go on the programme about 4 years ago and, sad to say, it really didn't agree with him. He lost around a stone in 4 days, but couldn't get past the 'wall'. He keeps hugging me and telling me how brave I am to...

I know what you mean about there being food everywhere. Before starting this programme, I hardly noticed that 90% of ads on tv were for food related products!!! No wonder that there is an epedemic of obesity in this country!!!!! Keep strong and enjoy your bubble baths x x

Fan-blinking-tastic!!!Well done you x

Hi, My chemist has assured me that we can have these when on TFR as well as refeeding. Hope it helps

Me too! Although I won't need the advice for a while yet! x x

Nope... I won't accept that. You didn't fail, it just didn't work for you. Good luck on the maintenance programme x x

Hiya, don't beat yourself up over it. You had something to eat... so what??? It is not the end of the world!! Today is the first day of the rest of your life... it happened, if you have gained, it will soon come off. Keep strong, keep smiling, and don't forget, you are human!! x Good luck

Yup, the seat won't have time to get cold!!! Good luck. I am onto week 2 now. Day three was a killer for me, but I managed to get through it. It does get easier, it is quite a revelation as to the relationship you have with food. I have found that taking it out of the equation completely is...

Go you!!!! Ahhhhh chewing.... I remember it well, and it's only been a week!! LOL x

That's amazing! You certainly have proved to yourself that you will keep the weight off when you do eventually go back to 'real' food. You should be proud of yourself x

That is FANTASTIC!!! I think I was 14stone at birth!! Well done you x

Well done!! Your first goal will soon be achieved x

Well done you!!!! Keep it up x

That is really good weight loss. Well done. I too feel hungry, but I think I am mistaking thirst for hunger. I have a drink and it seems to keep the pangs at bay. It could be the reason why I am soooo overweight now, and without food to satisfy the twinges, and knowing that I am getting all the...

I bet you feel on top of the world... and so you should! Sorry to hear about your finger, it really hurts when you do that!!! x x

Aww hun! Hope you are feeling better today. Keep warm and drink loads x

Good luck! Keep us posted and don't be daft... that is what a support network is here for, to help, so you won't be annoying anyone. x

I can't wait to experience that!! Do you charge by the hour for gardening??? I am into week 2 and still going strong... I keep feeling a little shakey and very cold...but will keep going because I am already feeling the difference in my clothes x

As you can see from my deliberate mistake (he he he he) I haven't taken an english course!! x

Window shopping is a must! I love people watching too. I nurse a coffe in starbucks and just sit and observe what is going on around me. It may seem daft, but really enjoy the 'me' time. Why not enrol on a course and try your hand at something you may have always wanted to do? There are loads of...

You have done so well!! Congratulations on the amount of weigh you have lost... you look like a totally different person! Have a brill holiday, enjoy it, you deserve it! x

I empathise totally... I have been having cold sweats and my tummy was so upset over the weekend. However as I am usually the other way, and constipated, I found it very unusual. It could be because of all the water we are consuming!! Well done on resisting the take aways and wine. Hope you are...

:brushing teeth:Hi, I was struggling to locate these anywhere... however I was eventually successful!! Poundstretcher or In Store as they are now trading under carry them. 99p for 72, ok they are in Russian as well as English, but definately the right ones. Just thought I'd give everyone a heads...

You are right to be a proud mum (and mum in law). What an achievement for them both. I have nothing but admiration for people who are at that level of fitness and show such determination:party0038: Well done them!! x

I am exactly the same!!! But I think that it is fantastic that whenever you feel the urge to break the programme, there is always somewhere to turn for support and inspiration. Good job my hubby does shifts and he doesn't see me at the computer!!! :character00148:

Wow!! 2 stone in 5 weeks... that is amazing!! Well done you x x

This is the most supportive and generous site I have ever belonged to. You will always get a response to a post, and whatever the issues or relapses, everyone is positive in their comments. I am sure you will grapple with the food demons and get your head around this programme, although it is...

Thank you everyone for the support you are giving me. I am so proud of myself. I didn't think I would get past day 3!!!! You are all such an inspiration x x

You look amazing!! I am so glad you decided to go x x

Well done you x x

Sending all the best wishes in the world to both you and your sister. I am sure she is thankful of the support you are giving her. x x

Hi, what I do is make a really strong mint tea, let it cool then add it to sparkling water. x

I like putting strong peppermint tea in sparkling water, it even looks like wine!! I also love horliks, so the vanilla shake hot with around 400mls of water and a sweetener has a similar taste. You could put hot peppermint leaf tea in the hot chocolate to make it a hot mint-chocolate. I also...

Me too!! I think it is amazing! I discovered lipotrim whilst researching an Eating Disorder presentation I had to give at college. I went straight to my GP and she pointed me in the right direction. This programme, hopefully, will put an end to my hazzardous relationship with food x

I have got a soda stream and like to add my pepermint tea to sparkling water. It is lovely!! Minty sparkles!!!!!

You must do what you feel is best for you... you have already lost so much weigh and you should be proud of yourself. Whatever method of weightloss you decide on, you will get there. x x

Hi, just had to report that after 5 days (I started Lipotrim 2 days after getting my shakes) I have lost 3kg! I am amazed. I even managed to do a month's worth of cooking, preparing meals to freeze for the family, without eating ANYTHING!! It was soooo hard not to taste things, not because I...

Well done you x

What will power!! Well done for resisting temptation :happy096: You should be really proud of yourself x

Well done you!!!x

Oh, forgot to mention. If you like horlicks, the vanilla shake with sweeteners hot is delish!

Hiya Lisa, good luck hun. I am on day 5 and feel amazing!!! I must admit day 3 was an absolute killer for me.... I was so emotional and could have quite easily gnawed my own arm off. Needless to say, as I still have both arms, I resisted!! x x

That is amazing, it shows massive will power. Well done you x

Oh My Gosh!! I have just had the most delicious shke! I have run out of coffee to have in my night time latte and thought I would try it anyway. It is sooooo nice!! I think this will be my night time drink from now on!! x x

Nearly 5 stone! Fantastic..... well done you x

I understand about you being a bit down... but just look at what you have achieved! You should be really proud of yourself!!! Good luck for the interview x

What an unselfish act! I wish you and your brother all the luck in the world, and it is brilliant news that you are tablet free x

Thank you for the replies...I will go and enjoy my fennel leaf tea now. MMMMMmmmm yum!

OMG!!! Well done you!!!!! You are the shrinking man!

Hi, I have been shopping for more peppermint leaf tea an found dandylion leaf tea too. Can you drink this on lipotrim without effecting weightloss? I have been told by the chemist I can have raspberry leaf tea, so just wondering. I have also spotted fennel leaf tea and I lurve aniseed so could...

14lb !!! Fantabulous!!!!!!

Well done! 2lb is a bag of sugar!!!!x

Fab!!! Well done!! x

Well done you!!!! Congratulations on your weight loss. x

Hi, Have just read some newbie threads and a lot of you are drinking 4 ltrs of water a day. I am only drinking 2. Will that affect my weight loss? And, do you count other liquids in, such as peppermint tea or black coffee? If not I will be upping my water intake ASAP! Thanks. Lisa

Good luck James, I am on to day 2.... ok so far!!!! In fact, I am surprised that I am not having hunger pangs!!!! Peppermint leaf tea is a lifesaver.

Good luck for tomorrow!You won't need it though x

Well done you!!!!

Amazing!!! GO YOU!!

You are an inspiration!!! Well done you and thanks for sharing x I will be joining you in celebrations soon I'm sure! Day 2 and alls well!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and pearls if wisdom. I was veery restrained last night at the party and I am glad I was, so today hasn't been too much of a hardship. I have even sat through the family eating a sunday roast and me with my bowl of chicken soup and a cup of peppermint...
