Thanks for the words of encouragement, I am really determined this time. There is no time to go back! My life is getting shorter and shorter and I will make everyone proud, but moreso, I will make myself proud. I'll keep you all posted!

Well today is Day 1 and the day that I start on my weight loss journey. I got out of bed this morning and decided that summer is now over. (Did we have one :sigh:) I am setting myself small goals and targets as I go along but I have roughly 7 stone to lose and I will still be overweight on a...

Please can I join too? I am new and starting today. Well done so far on some great losses. I am hoping to lose around 50lb by Xmas. I would be over the moon with that! Nomore - 70lbs 23lbs lost 47lbs to go Mandylupton-. 56lbs to go Katiebaby - 35lb - 9.4lb lost/ 19.6lb to go Claire8058 -...

Thanks Ando, that is good going in such a short space of time. Have you managed to stay 100% since you started? I have about 7 stone to lose, so am hoping I can do as well as you have. Cheers

Any other men on here currently doing S&S? I have done Lipotrim in the past but the 2 shakes a day killed me so I am going to try S&S. Any tips more than welcome. :D

Do you know what?? They are actually not too bad. Open the pack 15mins before eating and they are actually edible. Acquired taste, but better than constant liquid!!!!

Well done you. Keep it up, here's to wk 3!!

Sorry folks I have had such a busy weekend that I havent had time to come on and update. Got weighed on Saturday and lost another 5lbs which I am chuffed to bits with as I have set my target at 3lbs per week. So thats 22lbs in 2 weeks. If I could lose the same again this week, it would be...

I thought it would be the same, but Lipotrim have said no. My pharmacist wont supply me with them.

Thanks for the info Mini. I have done LL in the past but the counselling did my head in! All that CBT, I'd rather go, get weighed and go home. I have heard of chemist giving men 4 sachets as they dont stock the mens sachets, thats why asked if I could do that. How is the CD? Have you...

I'm on shakes and soups. I try to have a soup at night as it seems more like having something to eat. Its not too bad with Tabasco and pepper in it! Apart from that 4 litres of sparkling water a day. I dont feel hungry, I just get bored during the day. Do you have enough energy for all...

I also lost 17lbs in my first week Tom and at the moment feeling good. I am swimming at the moment and will start the gym soon. How are you finding the 2 shakes or do you have the cardboard they call flapjacks???? It is hard, but this is the right time of year to do it when there isnt much...

Spoke to the woman at Lipotrim yesterday and she confirmed that as man, I can only have 2 shakes per day. She said I could swap 1 of the shakes for 2 flapjacks if I wanted and eat 3 times a day rather than 2. She said its down to the vitamins and minerals ect in the powder. Apparently the...

Well done and best of luck for week 2 ;-)

When I got weighed at the chemist yesterday I asked the lady about swapping my 2 packs for 4 ladies ones. I looked on the bag and the mens contain exactly double what is in a ladies. She said I couldnt do it because by having 4 shakes a day instead of 2 I would go out of ketosis...

Well folks, I started last Monday but tomorrow I have to travel to London for a couple of days with work. I didnt want to go a couple of days with no shakes, so I went and got weighed yesterday instead. So, after 5 days, I have lost an incredible 1st and 3lbs (17lbs!) :):) To say I am...

My goal is to be under 15st by the time I go to Vegas in August else I lose $1000 to a mate of mine. :-( Thats just a motivator though. My main goal is be able to walk into any high street shop any buy what I want, instead of skulking around knowing nothing will fit. I am big, but not...

Well done. I hope my first week is just as sucessful!

Thanks for the exercise advice. Much appreciated. I'll keep you updated with progress. For now, I am just swimming 45 lengths which takes about 35 minutes. I'll do more and more when I get into the swing of it.

Well done Jane, keep up the good work and you'll be at goal in no time! x

Thanks again for all the comments! I am more determined than ever this time and I think the $$$$'s will make sure I dont waiver! Susieg - Slim and loaded?? Thats something to look forward to!!! Lipotrim Boy, good idea, I think I'll change that!!!! ;-) How are people with exercise? I...

Thanks all for the kind comments! We have booked Vegas and my mate said I'd never get to the same weight as him!!!! So i bet $1000!!! Its probably the biggest incentive I need!!!! Thanks again for the kind comments x Winnings? I doubt there will be any when I get back!!!!!

Well folks, I have been here before so I know what to expect, I always seem to lose a lot of weight quite quickly and then a holiday comes up etc and I go off the rails and dont come back! I have promised myself this time will be different and I will be doing this for a number of reasons...

Hi all, I started out on Lipotrim but have changed over to All About W8 as I think LT has boring flavors and I get bored easily! I still come on here though as the All About W8 forum is too quiet;) Anyway, as part of of weigh loss routine and to motivate me even more, I have signed up to...

Best of luck tomorrow. Its my weigh day too! I always get weighed at 9 when the chemist opens before I have eaten or drunk anything. I always get weighed in the same clothes too, which for me is shorts and T-Shirt. I get some funny looks on days when its pouring down!!! LOL.

I have spoken to both my pharmacy and to LT direct and they both say that excercise will not slow down your weight loss. I mentioned the starvation mode and they said that your body will just take the extra calories that are being burned from your fat stores. They said it would only enter...

I pay £48 for 14 sachets or the equivalent. I thought it was a standard price everywhere. I don't think I'd go anywhere else anyway as my pharmacy is great and I get lots of support of them. I'd be interested to know what others do pay though.

Well done on your loss, its a great motivator isn't it!! Keep it up for next week!

Well done chick for picking yourself up and starting again. You should be proud of yourself that you have been able to jump straight back on to LT. I doubt your slip will make too much difference to your WI. Best of luck x

Hi Adam Well done on a fantastic loss! I'm aiming for similar and have about 2 1/2 stone left. I notice that you spend a lot of time in the gym. I have just started again as I now don't feel too self conscious to drag my fat arse around!! lol. Whilst on TFR, what type of exercise were...

My wife has now started to re-feed and to be honest it hasn't bothered me. Even she has said she hasn't really enjoyed the food. It looks good to me, and full of garlic and chilli etc which smells good too!! I know she will continue to support me anyway, so I'll stay on track!!!

Go girl!!! Sometimes a little gain can give you massive motivation to get back ontrack and then a big loss spurs you on to continue. After gaining 2lb on hol, I was really determined to shed it and had a great loss this week. I'm not condoning (ch)eating but for some people it works...

Thanks all for all your nice comments, it means a lot and they are a great motivator. If I can do as well as half of the people on here, I will be a proud man. xx

:D After messing about and going on holiday for a couple of weeks I am now well and truly back on track. I only put 2lbs on whilst away but today I have been weighed and lost 11lbs :D:D:D I have now lost a total of 3st 3lbs in 7 WI's which has cheered me up no end!! My other half...

Don't worry about it, just try to get yourself back on track. I had 2 nights out last week as I was leaving a job I have worked in for 3 yrs. I could not say no to having some leaving drinks! I weighed in 2 days later and put a lb on. This week I am more determined than ever and haven't...

Well done. I admire you. Good luck with the re-feed and keep us posted how you get on. x

Hi All I decided to refeed for our hols and haven't done too bad. In 2 weeks I have put on 1lb. I know people say stick with it through your hols but I couldn't have enjoyed myself without taking the decision to eat and drink. I mainly ate BBQ and salad and tried to stick to 1 meal a day...

I usually get weighed on a Monday but with one thing and another I had to get weighed in today. I've lost another 11lb, taking my total up to 36lbs now in 3.5 weeks. :D:D:D:D:D:D How chuffed am I?!!!!!

I used to crave coke too. After the first week, it hasn't bothered me. Don't give in!!!!

I think whilst on TFR, you have to re-evaluate your relationship with food. If you have a planned break for a couple of days or a week, as long as you start again all should be OK. What frightens a lot of people is will they put all their weight back on when they finish. This is almost the...

Well done baby!! I hope I can do just as well on Friday. xx

Well done from me too!

Well done, stick at it and by next week over a stone will have gone!

Well done! Over a stone in 2 weeks! Keep at and soon you'll be looking like a different person!

Men pay £48 and get 2 sachets! Its unfair!!!! Saying that the losses are bigger for men so the extra 12 is worth it ;-)

Listerene have stopped making the strips, thats why they have disappeared!!

Thanks all for the comments! Nice to get compliments! I'll keep you posted on how I get on next week. Like I say, it will be a long one as I'm not getting weighed until Friday.

Well done mate! You've done so well and in such a short space of time too.

That is amazing! You will have to post up some before and after pictures, I bet you are now unrecognisable! Well done!

When i need inspiration, I look at everyones weight losses and think I'm having some of that!! I think a few months out of my life to get back into normal size clothes etc is nothing. Just think about why you are starting and once you are up and running you'll be fine.

Well done from me too. Imagine how long it would take doing something like WW?!!

Well done from me too. I am so proud of you doing this to help me out. I didn't think you would have lasted past day 3 but you have. Not only has it helped me out massively but you have dropped right into your healthy BMI now too. Thanks baby!! xxx

Well done Caz!

Doirin- We had BH here yesterday so I decided to buy an extra day and go for Tuesday instead! I have always said a good loss is a great motivator!!!

Well done Jan! Hope you stick around once you hit target to encourage others and show them what can be done with a little hard work and willpower!

Back from the chemist and have lost a great 7lb! So thats almost 2 stone in 2 weeks!! I've no WI next Monday as I have to be in work but will be getting weighed on the Friday so here's hoping I can shed a load over the next week or so!! Good luck to everyone else! :D:D

I use a shaker. I find it amazing that it actually gets rid of all the lumps!!

Well done mate. You are an inspiration! I hope I can do as well as you in such a short space of time!!!

Just think how long it would take you to reach your goal doing any ohter diet? It would be take me years on something like WW or SW!

Well done on your loss. My chemist ws closed today so its WI 2 for me tomorrow. Keep up the good work!

Hi I pay £48 per week and for that I get 14 sachets!! Sounds expensive doesn't it!! I have been doing it for 2 weeks, 2nd weigh in tomorrow so not sure what the average is. Lipotrim say a man should lose 1.5 stone a month, so I'm hoping thats true!! Let me know if you need more info.

I thought that the more water you drink, the more weight you lose? I aim for about 5 litres per day. I'll ask my pharmacist again tomorrow!!

Everyone have a great BH weekend. We are off to Wales when the wife (happydaystocome) finally gets back from Matalan!!! Since she got into size 12 for the first time in 10yrs, she's gone shopping mad!!! :eek: See you all next week.

Well done!

Keep going and you'll get there! I'm a man between waist sizes at the moment too. Each brand is also different so one shop size may not fit where another may do! Keep your chin up!

Just be careful!!! You'll know what I mean soon enough ;-)

Well done!

I'll probably stick on LT for the next couple of weeks or until I get fed up with the flavours! One of the things I like with LT is only having 2 sachets a day. One before work and one when I get home. No messing around during the day! I'll deffo be looking into it though.

Sorry forgot to say, well done on your fantastic weight loss and for keeping it off, which some say is harder than losing it in the first place!

Thanks for the link.

Well done to you. A good loss is such a great motivator!

Is that enough water? I thought the minimum was 4 litres per day not including tea and coffee? Try and drink more water and see how you go with that.

Well done. Keep it up and you'll be at goal in no time!

Keep at it, it does get easier!! Food? No thanks!!!

Does anyone on here use a kettlebell for exercise? They are supposed to be the best form of exercise for fat burning. Anyone?

A 2lb loss is a 2lb loss!! You should be proud of that! At least you didn't blow out and put on!

Well done! Stick at it and before you know you'll be at your goal! Time flies when you are doing LT. I can't believe its almost time for WK2 WI!!

Well done you! Keep it up.

A nice picnic in one of the parks such as Green Park or Hyde Park would make a nice lunch break and not cost the earth either. Make sure you take them to Houses of Parliament, Downing Street and then through Horse Guards Parade and up the Mall to Buckingham Palace. My kids 7&8, loved it...

Have a great time. I always say a holiday is what you make it. Some of our best holidays have been in hotels where the reviews have been rubbish. One of the worst complaints was an american bloke in Jamaica ranting on because his room did not have a pen in it!!!!! The review was 1* on...

Helen - I think you will love OV!! I can't see what there is not to like. I think this year is the last season for them as they are apparently moving to Australia to cater for their market. We had a fab time and I'm sure you will too.

You'll save a fortune. People think its so expensive but once you realise how much you spent on shopping, take aways, alcohol etc, you'll be quids in and thinner too!!!!

Thanks for the replies. So its basically the same but with more flavours? Does it cost the same or is it more like LL cost?

Go for it!! What have you got to lose? Even if you only lose 3 stone, its gotta be better than not losing anything! Make sure you stick to it 100% and watch the fat melt away quickly!

nmmireland - When you were away on hols, how much did you put on? Well done for jumping straight back on!

Well done. A great motivator!

I got told that drinking plenty of water helps with flabby skin. Only been on the plan a week so no such joy of spare skin for me yet!!!

Biggest indian banquet ever for me the night before! I think it just made the first few days harder as I was starving!!!

Well done, and in such a short space of time too!

The more you drink, the more pee!!! No way around it!!!!

I though Ocean Village was fantastic! Behaviour on board was great and the kids had a great time. We liked the informality of it. Cabins were spacious and food was excellent.

Well done Jim. I hope I can get down to a similar size! I've still got 5 1/2 stone to go!!!

Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news! It just shows though that some of these online converters are rubbish. They shouldn't be allowed to exist!

Try your best IrishMum, think how much quicker you will get to goal even if its only an extra 1lb a week by not picking!

Hi All I am currently on Lipotrim which I get weekly from the chemist. As I am a man, it costs £48 a week. Is there is any difference between LT and the CD? I presume a few people will have tried both? Thanks

I think getting weighed once a week is enough. I used to get weighed a couple of times a week and if your loss was minimal, it was heartbreaking! How some people weigh themselves everyday is beyond me!!!!

You look fab! Well done.

TFR is definately the way forward for me. You know if you have your shakes and enough water then you can't fail. Resisting temptation is hard, but you have think of your next goal and aim for it. Picking whilst on LT will only prolong the journey and cost you more money in the end. Stay...

I enjoy not waking up with a hangover and no money on a Sunday morning!!!! So much better the jump up and enjoy the day without crisps and cans of coke to make you feel better!!

I better get posting then!!! Thats another one done ;-)

Maybe my maths are wrong then!!!!!! Sorry ;-)

Sorry to bear the news! But it will be 13st 8lb. 86.4 * 2.2 = 190 190/14 = 13.57 The .57 is .57 of a stone. 0.5 of a stone is 7lb + .0.07 rounded up will be 8lb. So your weight will be 13st 8lb.

How do you view people's photos? I have seen a few threads where people have said I've updated my photos, and loads of replies saying how great they look etc!! All I get is permission denied!!!!! Any ideas? Thanks

Congrats! The weigh-ins make it all worthwhile! I hope my 2nd weigh in is as good as yours! Keep it up!

This goes against everything the woman at LT told me!!!! I rang the helpline to ask them and she said take it easy for the first week and after that no problems with either cardio or resistance training. She said just ensure you drink more water to replace the sweat.

Its not saving me a penny as I have promised my wife £10 for every 1lb she loses! It will give her the motivation to stick with it and she'll have money at the end to buy some new clothes!!! I'm glad she's only got 29lb to lose!!!

Well done, 6lbs is a great loss and look how much you have lost in the past, you should be proud of yourself. Excersise will also turn fat to muscle which weighs more, your shape will be changing even if you don't lose weight. Keep it up and good luck for next week.

A stone in 3 weeks is a fabulous achievement. Well done.

Well done you, I'm sure you will look fab!

Thanks for all your messages. A good loss and kind words really help to spur me on! My wife only has another 19lbs to go, but I know she'll continue to support me! She didn't really need to lose any but has decided to drop a few pounds just to help me out at the start. I suppose being a...

Congratulations, how good does it feel to get the first week out of the way?!! A good loss is the best motivation ever. Well done.

Just been to weigh in and am totally over the moon!! I lost a total of 18lb! So I started dead on 20st and missed the 19's out altogether! Now tipping in at 18st 10lb! :D:D:D:D:D:D My wife (happydaystocome) also had her first weigh in and also lost a massive 10lbs!! The first week has...

Best of luck! Take one day at a time and congratulate yourself at the end of each day. Before you know it, you will be in Ketosis and the hunger pangs will stop. All I can say is try to keep yourself busy! :)

Hello all, I am new to this forum and new to LT. I started on Monday and have been reading everyones posts since. So today is day 5 and I am feeling good. Didn't really have any of the effects the chemist said. I also have the support of my wife who also started on the same day. She...
