Ya, we can do this. Never give up is the key. Its tough but can be done. I get good and bad days but try to pull myself up again, thats all we can do and slowly but surely, we'll get there xx

Well, I had my second weigh in yesterday and lost 5lbs and have lost 15 and a half pounds in 2 weeks. However, Im getting very tired and have low mood, maybe its my totm coming but can anyone please give me divine inspiration as feeling bit low at the mo. My clothes are not as tight and I can...

Enjoy your wedding, you so deserve it, great weightloss, no doubt youll feel fantastic in your wedding dress. Enjoy!! x

Thanks so much girls, Youve made me feel a lot better. This site is invaluable and is helping me stay on track. Thats a big worry gone off my mind, ta again and wow to be working so hard and still able to keep on lipo, thats some achievement. Hats off to ye, I only hope I can do same, this site...

I know, its tough, I thought we were supposed to have loads of energy on it. Sorry you felt sick today, I know Im going to find it very tough when back at work. But hey, we're still positive about it and we can take the bad with the good. There is downers on this but we can get through it. Youve...

Thanks Clarabow, great idea to go on LL and Cambridge sites too, never thought of that so Im going to pop over to them too for more inspiration. Am I right in saying youve lost 3 stone from looking at your profile, thats fantastic, hope I do as well. Thanks for your message again, much...

Hi all, Im on day 14 of lipotrim, weigh in tomorrow as pharmacy closed Bank Holiday. Anyway, Ive stuck to it 100%, food cravings are not as bad but really lacking in energy. I can cope with this at mo as Im on hols and my schedule isnt too hectic. Im just concerned regards returning to work...

Hi Nini, Ive still not cheated. On Day 12 of lipotrim and it is tough, was weepy today, usually Id have turned to food but gratefully didnt. My depression was so bad and exacerbated by the weight that I felt as if I wanted to die but this diet is giving me renewed hope. Its not ideal as its VLCD...

This forum has helped me unbelievably alright especially in the evenings when the hunger really hits. I also chat to myself whenever tempted and tell myself how Ill feel so bad if I break this. Not eating for awhile is not as bad as how miserable I feel being fat. Ive 2 choices and Ive decided...

Bye Claire, youve done great. Thanks for all the helpful and kind words you gave to me. All the best xx

The first three days the toughest. Drink plenty water, that helped me, have a journal where you can write away any bad feelings and why you really want to do this. Take it easy first few days, head to bed early, distract yourself by reading, a small walk etc. Just take it easy on yourself, this...

Hi, Im on Day 12 and gagging to eat too but I know one bite will lead to falling off the wagon completely. I struggle too but it does pass. I can feel and see weightloss already, Im sure youre the same, and thats whats keeping me going. Im even getting some confidence back and thats all good...

Hey slimlinebev, I read somewhere that some people lose weight while refeeding so no worries there for ya. Glad to see you still get cravings too coz some people say they dont feel hungry at all. I bet youre delited you did so well especially for your son's wedding, hats off to you. Talk soon x

Hey, you did fantastic, you should be really proud of yourself. I'm not telling you what to do, I mean well by saying this but even one healthy meal will knock you out of ketosis and it will be very hard to get back on lipotrim again. I was on lipo before, thought I could do this and I totally...

Cherrygem, day 1 to 3 is so tough, total shock to the system. I know this is hard but you just have to be prepared for the annoying side effects first few days. What i did was have a diary with all the reasons I wanted to lose weight, I had to really feel how bad it is to be overweight and tell...

Hi all, Well, Im still here on Day 9, going strong but the cravings still hit me everyday. I know its not real hunger but Ive always used food as my crutch in life and its deffo a hard habit to break. I keep reminding myself why Im doing this, Ive developed a few techniques to deal with...

Good luck Deezer, you seem highly motivated and so positive, thats a great thing. All the best tomorrow, have a feeling youre going to do brilliant, wishing you the best x

Jessie, inspiring post, thank you so much!! Exactly what I needed today coz sticking to it 100% but still get cravings, not hungry, just i always depended on food so much, hard to ditch my best frenemy. You have done fantastic, and your words struck a chord with me. Thanks thanks again, I hope I...

Just keep going with it, first few days your body is trying to get used to it. With TFR 100% you will definitely lose a lot of weight, guaranteed youll lose plenty over next few days. Hard to be patient, I know all about it but you will lose. Get loads of water into you, it flushes you out, plus...

Thanks Cherrygem, it was tough but worth it, however the first week is the biggest loss plus heavier you are, I think the more weight you lose the first week. I mean I was 14 stone 11, which is big. I do feel good about it but know losses will be less as I go on. Trying to not get complacent is...

I felt very nauseaus at the beginning but its passed now. There are side effects on this but they pass. Horrible I know but more horrible being overweight, thats what I keep telling myself. This is no easy diet but if we can do this we can do anything and I think it makes us stronger in both...

I think we have to be true to ourselves, we're not happy being overweight so if we have to make a few sacrifices along the way, its worth it to be slim and healthy for life. As for people saying youre gaunt, theyre just insecure and like making people feel bad. As for your '' friend'', she...

Thanks Claire. On Day 8 now, cant wait to get this week over but I guess have to be patient. Hope things going well for you, Im not on here as much, been busy but Ill be around as long as Im on Lipo. Wishing you the best this week too. Chat you soon xx

Diva makes absolute sense!! the reason Im fat is because I dont like myself, losing weight alone wont help me like myself. So, this time Im working on both my mind and weight. Its hard because habits of overeating are ingrained but at least im looking at things more holistically this time...

Thanks so much girls. I just hope I dont get complacent. A long way to go, trying to keep positive. I feel great but the desire for food always there. Its just my Gremlin in my head but Im going to beat it, have to, thats what Im saying to myself anyway. Thanks again girls xx

Hey, you look lovely, all slim and toned. I hope I get to this point. Great stuff, bet you enjoyed the shopping x

Thanks so much. I just read you want to get to 84 pounds. Wow, sounds like you dont need to lose any weight. Thanks for your words though!!!

The first few days on lipo I felt spacey and a bit scattered and was wrecked. However, on day 5, I got a burst of energy and have felt well since. Oh, I did have cramps on one of the first few days too but thats all cleared. The one thing I get on and off are cravings for food but I think thats...

Wishing you great success. Your wedding is a great motivator, you'll look great going down the aisle. Good luck on lipo, it deffo works!!

You are doing absolutely brilliant. Inspiring!!!!

Hey, good luck on starting with lipo, it is so worth it. Very difficult I know but heres some ways of distracting yourself 1.Come on the minimins site to help keep you motivated and see other's stories. 2.The thread called ''Bring your head inside and your head will follow'' on the general...

Well I had my first weigh in after starting lipotrim and Ive lost 10 and a half pounds. DEELITED but I know a lot of this is water and losses will be less after this. Still, Im so chuffed and feel better already. Heres hoping Ill keep up the good and bloody tough work. I hop ye are all doing...

Hi Claire, Im only on day 6 and had an awful day, nearly caved but didnt and like you, dont intend to either. By the way, youve done fab so far, hope I get to the point your at. Keep going girl, it aint easy but it will be soo worth it. Nothing in life is as bad as feeling fat feels and thats...

Hey, xxfoolafluff, Im on Day 6 and today was my toughest day yet. Woke up in good form but by 5 today I was very teary, very grumpy and just wanted to eat so badly but thankfully i didnt. Its 10.30 pm now and I feel way better and glad I didnt give in. We're going to get bad moments and cravings...

Hey, we all get low sometimes but with weightloss you'll get plenty of confidence and you'll be better able to manage the low times. As for your other half, sounds like he's afraid you might get some confidence and stop putting up with his vodka and coke habit. Plus, with losing weight, you'll...

Thanks Claire so much. Had a tough day today but stuck with it. Hope things going well for you. I just keep telling myself that this is worth it and I cant go on the way I going i.e. getting fatter and fatter. Ill let you know how I get on. Im not on here as much coz was busy but Ill look out...

Hi, Im on Day 6, found it very hard today as food seems to be everywhere. Plus, I brought my son to Eddie Rockets and I wont tell you what he had to eat but my mouth was watering. Thing is Im not that hungry, I think its just hard to do this when food is so much part of our social and emotional...

Hi all, thought I was being weighed today but its tomorrow, my mistake, have been a bit scattered. Anyway, Im here on Day 6, my weigh in tomorrow and yahoo I stuck to it 100%. It was tough,was weepy first few days and not myself but here on Day 6 feel far better and know Ive lost some weight...

Thanks girls. My weigh in is tomorrow. Today is Day 6 for me and gratefully I stuck to it 100%. Hopefully, Ill have a bit lost tomorrow, feel lighter anyways. Good luck to all of you too and thanks for support xx

Sorry, didnt see second page. Congrats on 8 pound loss, thats brill on Day 6, give yourself credit. xx

You're doing absolutely brilliant. Im on Day 4 100% and had similar struggles to you but managed to stick at it so far. It aint easy but so so worth it. I feel better already, though tired. All the best tomorrow. You'll do fantastic. Ive to weigh in on Day 6 too, Monday for me, hope i keep going...

Yes, you are awesome and keep believing it!!! Everyone deserves to be the best they can be. Thanks for your nice reply to me too. I hope everything is going well for you. I got a bit down today, was so tempted to cheat but thankfully stopped myself, saying I was only going to damage myself...

Im 5ft 5. Small in height but big in stature, haha

Excellent loss Claire, onwards and downwards is right x

Nothing motivates me to do Exercise but as I lose weight I hope I will get to appreciate its benefits. At the mo, I feel too heavy to do it but i know I will I have to incorporate it into my life as the weight falls off if I want to be slim for life.

''Failure is not an option this time, I never again want to hit rock bottom'' or ''I am a good person and I deserve to be slim'' or ''Im sick of food being my best friend, more to life than stuffing myself with food and feeling crap after. No way is that a best friend'' ''Theres a...

I've read it a while back and totally agree with its message but i forget to apply its advice. I think I read too many self help books but maybe somewhere someday theyre advice will sink in. I love reading them but not great for applying their words of wisdom.

Hi all, I suffer from depression especially in the last year as everything seemed to kinda get worse for me. I tried antid's and unfortunately they only managed to make me feel worse. Then I put on more weight and I hit rock bottom. Id been overweight before this so with another 2 stone gain I...

Wow, youre an inspiration. Absolutely fantastic what youve achieved. xx

Wish I had big boobs, with me theyre one of first things to go when I lose weight. My bum is fattest part of me and my thighs. My tummy used to be okay but as I put on 2 stone in a very short time on top of baggage I already had, my tummy is getting it now. A regular oompa loompa at mo and I...

Claire, great to hear youre feeling better. Youre doing fantastic. Im dreadin my totm, which is another two weeks away; hope and pray I even get to that point. Well done to you xx

Thanks so much perfect, inspirational what youve achieved. I see youre 10 stone something, Id bite off my right arm to be that size now. You must feel absolutely fantastic and it only took you 11 weeks. Thanks so much for your reply, really found it motivating. Ill keep you posted. I also see...

Absolutely brilliant to finish week 4, I'll be giving myself a gold star if I get that far. If you got this far you can do anything and your loss was fab too. Enjoy your holiday and Ive no doubt youll do great on refeed. All the best x

Fantastic loss. Delighted for ya Ted. E. Bear xx

Im only on Day 2 and was scattered as hell today, I called to my parents today thinking it was 4 o' clock, it was actually 5 o' clock. How lightheaded and dense is that, haha. By way, an uptake of water might help, we can drink up to 4 litres. Its a big shock to the system this diet but I think...

Hi, I was on lipo before and crashed on week 3 too. It started with chicken but didnt stop there. Once I got the taste in my mouth of any food, I couldnt stop after that. A bit of chick is fine coz its protein and once you stop there youll be grand. I so regret it now but if Id kept to the...

Ketosis kicks in after 2/3 days as Gems said. Note: After Ketosis before, I flew through week one and two, it was on week 3 I got fed up so its after week 3 (if I get there) that Ill feel more confident on this. I dont want to be negative but I know from past experience that you really have to...

Claire Louise, youre doing fantastically. Im only on Day 2, was on it before but bailed week 3 so give yourself great credit. I feel a bit hypocritical being on here and Im only on Day 2 but I find it very encouraging. I think Im getting addicted to this instead of food but I guess not a bad...

Hi there, Im afraid you cant coz though no sugar, most sugar free chewing gum has carbohydrate in it. I checked it up last night. I know it would be great to have something to chew on but Ive heard people suggest ice cubes. Hope that helps x

Cinematic, thanks so much for telling me you got through seeing Harry Potter without as much as a pick of popcorn, I hope I can think like you tomorrow when im at cinema. And wow, youre on week 3, youre doing brill. Im going to think of what youve said tomorrow at the cinema and how you got...

My motivation is my son too because i want to be a good role model to him and its good for him when Im happy with who I am and healthy. However, its also for me because Im sick of being miserable all the time. Being totally honest, im doing this because i reached rock bottom with myself and knew...

Ya, normal to feel cold. I watched the lipotrim dvd today and it said our body temperature drops when we diet. They suggested plenty hot liquids, including having the shakes hot but I dont fancy that. Maybe lukewarm water and hot tea n coffee the best thing. Hope that helps!!!!

Hey Claire, youre doing great hun to get to Day 6. The first week is very tough, Im only on Day 1 and it not easy. Exercise makes you hungry, and not telling you what to do, but maybe avoid till you get into swing of tfr. I want to exercise too but going to wait till after week 3, though I might...

As we all know everything is more expensive in Ireland. Not cheap to be a fatty like me in Ireland.

Yes, its for a weeks worth, a lot of money alright. I cant really afford it but I cant afford the weight even more. I paid 67 euro something for it yesterday but by time I was finished I paid 93 euro for shaker, listerine and fibre clear as well but it wont be that every week. An awful lot of...

God help ya, I hope the pain will ease with the antibiotics, no doubt it will. Youre doing absolutely brilliant with a weightloss of 35 pounds. Hope you'ii be pain free in no time. xx

Thanks Unabell and congrats on getting through week one and losing. I hope Ill do the same. Wishing you all the luck in the world too xx

You'll be fine, fair play for resisting. Ya, I left it late for my second shake coz its at night I get the munchies. I hate water but topping up with ice helps me. Im not that hungry today but thats coz my totm just over and Its only time I lack hunger. Before my totm Im like a garbage bin, its...

Hi Minnie Me, hope you enjoyed hols!! Im only on Day 1, was on it before but know it works. Youve done brill so far!! Good luck on rest of your journey x

Thanks Kel for the positive, kind words. I am bringing my son to cinema tomorrow, was on phone to him but I think Ill get through it. Have to. Looking forward to watching Harry Potter with him, though he'll be curious why Im not eating his popcorn, haha. Ted. E. Bear, no way are you a freak...

Good luck to you. You can do it!! Im just starting as well. All the best to ya xx

ya, resist you must. Im only on day 1 and feeling bit peckish but going to get my second shake in a mo. All day Ive been sipping water with ice telling myself, '' I can do this, I am strong and being slim means more than any food, all my nutritional needs are being met with the shakes and im not...

Hi there, You should be so proud of all your achievements in life so far. Youre a great Mum to three beautiful children and you have a spouse who is loving and supportive. You should really give yourself credit for this and I admire you. So start with those positives. Now, the weightloss...

You can do this, just believe in yourself!!! Everyone has blips, just get on the bandwagon again. At least you are doing something, you'll feel far worse if you give up on this. Sure, it takes time but do you want more time to pass where youre an old lady and you look back on your life with...

It's Christmas 2011: I'm at a christmas party in my size 12 little black dress. I feel confident and pretty. I can walk around the room full of confidence, chatting to people and feeling on top of the world. The world is my Oyster and Im looking forward to a New Year!!!!!!

Jeez, Ive been slim at times in my life and though I was never stalked or had anyone declare undying love for me because of my looks, I liked people thinking I was pretty. Though no dawn beauty, I felt good about myself and it was great to receive compliments etc. However, at a deeper level, I...

Thanks for all the support. I absolutely love this site coz we're all in the same boat. None of my friends actually know about this, this time. I've decided to keep it to myself as I cant face another, ''Here she goes again'' etc. All my friends are skinny, lovely people but slim. I work in a...

Im only on Day One, have no inclination to eat but early days. Plus Im not running around today as luckily have day to myself. As the dramas and business of everyday life come, I know it will get harder. So give yourself credit that with two young children and a home to run, you reached Day 5...

Well done Ted E. Bear. You're doing great. I'm on Day One, have whole day to myself. Going to cinema tomorrow with my son, hes at my Mom's at mo but you have to build your life into this. Going to be hard at cinema but plenty other tempatations to go that have to be overcome. Anyway, credit...

My first weigh in is Monday. x

I'm in Ireland too, the county of Kerry. x

Hi, Im only on day 1 but Ive been on lipo before so I know all the side effects. Are you drinking the 4 litres of water a day. I know thats imperative. You could talk to your chemist. There is a solution to every side effect on this. Im trying to train my mind to cope with any side effect to...

Thanks Lass for that. My Mom actually means well by saying what she said. She wants me to have a few days to myself coz being 10, my son is full of activity and we usually do lots of activities everyday. I also took him on a week's holiday last week so even though he spends time at my Moms, my...

Thanks Gemswemsy and Claire (A Better Me) xxxx. I hope your day is going well and that its all systems go. WE CAN DO THIS!!! X

To tonibobbit, can I just say, please, try to ignore the negativity around you, negativity can bring you down. Dont worry about others opinions and stay steadfast in your promise to yourself and STAY POSITIVE. Believe in yourself and that your life will get better, it will when you believe and...

Thanks uklady, especially for saying I sound like a great person, I dont know if I am but that means a lot. You sound like a great person yourself, lovely and genuine. Maybe if we started believing these things about ourselves, weightloss might be forever. I think a lot of women never take...

Thanks so much for all your words of encouragement, means a lot. I thought I wouldnt get any replies because it was too deep so much appreciated. Im looking forward to catching up with ye to see how ye are getting on, and hopefully i can give ye words of encouragement too. We can do this!!!!!!! xxxx

Hey everybody, I hope its okay for me to post here but tomorrow is a big day for me as its the day I start Lipotrim again and hopefully this time for the last time. I intend to stick to it 100% but I guess easy to say that now after a day of eating all the **** that got me here in the first...

Wow, the difference between 81 lbs and 69 lbs is phenomenal. You nearly lost a stone really, just thought of that now. Really delighted for ya and proves this diet works. It would take ages to get that result on any other diet plan. Good for you x

Hi Trivenam, delighted for you, fair play. Well deserved. Its motivating me too coz hearing about others losses gives me encouragement. x

Oh, Ill deffo keep in touch. Im all talk now, I hope Ill be following my own advice. I know how hard it is but Im preparing for the pitfalls now. Im sick of being heavy for most of my life, if I dont do it now, never will. Have reached rock bottom with my weight and Ive never felt so bad about...

If youre suffering with your tummy, you can go to the chemist and ask for something for nausea. For heartburn I know you can get Gaviscon without sugar and for nausea I think its zantac, might have to recheck this but I know theres something that you can get and its allowed,it was mentioned in...

TOTM always gets to me. I'm starting 100% tfr tomorrow and though excited I know all the pitfalls. All I can say is that I SO SO regretted falling off the bandwagon before, believe me no matter how good food seems to be at the mo, its never worth it. Maybe lie down for awhile and think of...

weightloss can stall. Dont worry too much, keep doing what youre doing and the scales will go down again. If still nothing, try 1000 calories a day. Dont go lower though. I think exercise is great coz youre toning and though not showing on scales, I bet you look slimmer. Im on a vlcd but Ive...

Thanks Perfect for your encouragement, appreciated. Wow, you've had an astounding loss, you must be delighted and proud. Can you give me any tips on how you kept yourself going and kept strong? Thanks. xx

My chemist has a policy that if you stop lipotrim, you cant do it again until six months has passed. However, all may not be like this. Plus, you could tell them a personal situation came up that prevented you from doing it for awhile. I'm sure they'll give it to you if you have a convincing...

Hi there, delighted it worked out for you, and thanks for message. Obviously it was worth putting on a few pounds especially when you found love. Everyone puts on a few pounds when theyre settled and happy so I know youll lose the weight again and hey 2 stone is nothing. Ive to lose 4 stone. Im...

Hey, I only lost around a stone the last time I did it so give yourself credit for the 4 STONE you lost, that was a major achievement and you can do it again for sure!!!!! All the best hun and deffo we'll keep each other posted. I know this is kinda my last chance coz I wont be able to afford it...

Thanks for that. I'm all excited and nervous at same time as I know its tough. But gotta try my best. Here's hoping!!!!! Where are you exactly on the diet Shrinky? I know you did fantastic before, are you restarting or maintaining? Would just like to know how the supportive people are doing as...

Hi all, well bit the bullet today and faced the pharmacy and got my lipotrim. Was a big deal for me because I hardly step out the door these days and my confidence is zilch. But I slapped on the war paint, held my head high and got through it:D Below is my weigh in before starting tomorrow...

In Ireland it costs about 67 euro, I can hardly afford it but Im desperate and know it works. I think its worth every penny and it will be my only luxury for the next few months. Severe recession in Ireland but my mental and physical strength has declined because of weight gain so Ive no other...

Thanks to the two kind people above who replied to my post, the people on this are so nice and genuine and I know I'll be using this site while Im on my weightloss journey. Anyway, I bit the bullet and went to the pharmacy today instead of putting it off till Thursday. Starting tomorrow. My...

Thanks so much for your reply and congrats on your fabulous loss of 4 stone, if I achieve that a bit of hairloss wont worry me. There's obviously solutions to this and as you said it may not happen this time. Im going to stay positive about it so it may not happen. Thanks again. xx P.s. I got my...

Hi Claire, Thanks again for trying to encourage me and I know you'll get the weightloss you want again as you have done it before and yes, you do look great in your pic and you will again. The begrudgers in your life commenting on your weightgain are just jealous and trying to keep...

Hey, dont worry about the slip up, just start again. I was on lipotrim before and this happened to me too and like an idiot I gave up which I bitterly regret now. Imagine how youll feel if you give up now, you will regret it in a few weeks when the scale goes up again. You owe it to yourself to...

Hi, thanks for your message, it seems I havent imagined peoples perceptions entirely. People need to mind their own business. I hope we all prove it to ourselves and to the begrudgers that we can do this. All the best to you and remember youre not alone, everyone here is in the same boat, and...

Thank you for making me realise Im not totally paranoid. People can be cruel but Im a bit sensitive, need to get over worrying about what people think of me. By the way you look very good in your photo and it looks like you dont have much weight to lose. I wish I was at your point now. Have just...

Hope you have a great weight loss. I'm sure you will. Even after 3 days on this, people report weightloss so no worries for ya. I think you'll do great, x.

Thanks Trivenam for your advice. Id love to have the confidence to give it to her straight but I'm afraid she wouldnt give me the packs. Im dreaming of reaching goal, walking in there and telling her exactly what I think of her and shake my skinny arse in her face, haha, theres motivation for...

Thanks so much for your nice reply. i'm going to face the pharmacist and just take it one day at a time and hopefully turn into the slim person I always wanted to be. Thanks again, wishing you all the best on your weightloss journey too!!x

Hi, I made the mistake of going off lipotrim before because of the excitement of a new guy. We lasted for awhile and he was nice but I ended up back at square one. Please, dont compromise what youre doing for a guy. Some of them are here today and gone tomorrow. If hes worth his salt, he'll...

I dont know if I should be posting here but want to know if any of you have experienced this or am I just being paranoid. Ive put on alot of weight in last few months and can see how people's attitudes have changed towards me already. I get the up and down look that says ''She's left herself go...

Hi, I was on lipotrim before and going to start again but I found the pharmacist very condescending. Though she knew everything about it, she was obviously a skinny minny all her life because she wasnt the least bit empathetic and dictated to me that if I made one slip up, she wouldnt give it to...

Hi, I was on Lipotrim before and gave in on third week, I SO REGRET IT. I should have realised it was just a blip and kept going. Please, dont be too hard on yourself, just get on the bandwagon again. Im far from someone to be giving advice because I blew Lipotrim before but just learn from my...

Hi all, I'm thinking of starting Lipotrim again as I was on it before and lost a stone. However, I self sabotaged on 3rd week and its been a slippery slope since then. I turned to WW for awhile and lost a stone and a half but lost my motivation and found the small losses disheartening...

Hi, I'm starting the Lipotrim programme on Thursday once again. I know it works but I'm extremely concerned about hairloss as I suffered a bit from it the last time. Has anyone any advice on any topical solutions that could be used on the scalp while on Lipotrim? I know vitamins are not...

Hi, I'm starting on Thursday. I was going to go with weightwatchers but after hearing that the pro points plan isn't great I've turned to lipotrim again. I was on it before but wasn't in the right frame of mind to do it properly so going on it again. It's very tough but it works.

Wow, you look amazing, all credit to you. I'm actually going to be joining weightwatchers. How did you do it, what kept you going?

Hi, I've got 4 stone to lose and will be joining weightwatchers on Tuesday but I could really do with a buddy to help me along as all my mates are skinny minnies. Can I join in as I've just joined the site and need all the help I can get and I'd like to help other people too, if there's any help...

Hi, I can totally relate to you. My weight has always fluctuated too from my lowest in last few years of 11stone to 14stone. A month ago I joined ww and have managed to lose 11 pounds. I know this time has to be different because im mentally and physically exhausted from going on and off diets...

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. By the way you have done brilliant in your weightloss, fair play. Thanks again. x

Hi, I constantly self sabotage too but I think we do it because somewhere in the back of our minds we think we dont deserve to be slim which is bullshit. I mean, are all the slimmer people out there more deserving of a healthy, happy body, sure they deserve it but so do we. I think if you tell...

Hi all, I was on the minimins site before when I tried to lose weight with lipotrim. I did lose about 2 stone but unfortunately couldnt do without food so I put the whole thing on again and more. I was devastated and got really depressed for awhile. However, when I reached 14 stone, was...

Hi, My heart went out to you when I read your post. Anyone who has ever had a weight problem gets these kind of bullying tactics in one form or another, and that includes myself. Rest assurred, youre not the only one who bears the brunt of this kind of ignorance. Dont let the bullies beat you...

Hi, I'd like to lose 3 stone for Christmas. So that Ill be 10 stone 3lbs. Is it possible?

I caved on DAY 13 but back on track today, dont worry about it, just keep at it despite any blips. However coz of blip, finding it very tough today but hopefully have learned my lesson. But to be truly honest, I find most days hard going but have to stick to it as this is the only way i can lose...

Stick to the three packs hun, impossible otherwise. Youll have no problems losing two n a half stone if you stick to it till June. Im just after getting back on track after a two day fiasco and Im hoping to lose 3 stone by June. Good luck with it, it really works if you stick to it. Ive found...

Hi all, I dont know if this is the most appropriate place to say this but to keep myself on track today, I know I have to. Anyway, I broke my TFR on Day 13, and coincidentally it was the day after a date. We got on too well and spoke for 5 hours. Thing is, my head is all over the place since, he...

Hey Mandy, thats great news, delighted for ya. Ya, deffo, sometimes a bit of food helps. That said, I went over the top a bit on my food intake for two days but not going to sway me. By the way, I just saw you havent much to lose at all and something tells me youre going to hit goal. More power...

By the way Hez, fair play to you for being around food and still being on lipo. This diet really does work but ya, its damn hard. Anyone on this deserves a prize I reckon but the biggest prize of all will be when we reach target. A friend of mine says, ''Nothing tastes as good as being slim...

Thanks Hez, Im sipping water here now as I type. I think you might have hit the nail on the head there as from about DAY 10 to 13, I wasnt drinking as much coz so much was going on. Plus on day 12, i went to bed at 1 in the morning, was wrecked all day 13 and I think thats why I caved. Thanks so...

I find Nivea QI0 firming lotion to be brill. Ive only tried it mornings and night times for two weeks and already Ive seen a difference. Ive lost 13 and a half pounds while on lipo and I realise that as more comes off, the issue of saggy skin will be more prevalent. Then I think pilates might be...

By the way, I think some of us do actually feel sick while on this because we're in withdrawal from all the crappy foods. Mandy, I dont think you had a bug or anything, I think your body was crying out for food which is only natural. However, we can still continue on this by using lipo for as...

Hi Mandy, I can totally empathise with you. I reached day 13 and I felt utterly miserable, exhausted and starved. It was Day 13 I had to eat some food which unfortunately lead to eating food for two days. I still lost weight on my day 14 weigh in, it was only 3 n a half pounds but my point is...

Thanks again Crunchyfrog, youre so right again about the emotions, I always used food for anything that affected me emotionally. Im learning alot by being on lipotrim and as I already had blips, Ive looked back and realise it was the day, turned out to be two days that I was so down and...

Thanks so much girls, well Im back on track today, I lost 3 and a half pounds despite my blip or blips which lasted for two days. I went on scales today and damage isnt too bad but now Im determined it wont happen again. This food addiction I have is not going to go overnight but Im determined...

Hi Crunchyfrog, Thanks so much for your reply, I was actually not going to go to my weigh in and leave it for a few days and try to starve myself without sachets to try and compensate for what Ive done but after reading your post, I know I have to face it and just get on track again. This is...

Hi all, Day 13 and I gave in to temptation. Up till now stuck to it religiously, then blew it day before weigh in. I know Ive no excuse really but I was literally starving plus went to bed too late last night, plus also forget my third sachet of lipo. I had been 7 pounds down this morn on my own...

Hi Lipotrimtobethin, The first few days were definitely the toughest and to get to Day 4 is a great achievement. I still find it tough some days but the first few days were by far the worst. I find that the going gets tough for me if I dont get enough sleep and if Im tired. I think 8 hours...

WOW, that is so amazing. Im only going for my second weigh in tomorrow and nearly caved today but after reading your success it has given me renewed inspiration. I only dream of fitting into size 10 jeans, I hope I will someday if I stick with this. I have to be strong like you. Thnks so much...

Aww Ellebirdy, it's really tough isn't it?? I realise now its only natural to feel this way sometimes while on lipo. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done but I know it's so worth it. Thankfully, my moods have subsided a bit but I still get bouts of hunger and often feel tired. But I...

Brilliant, you should be so proud. Great to hear inspiration like this x

Hey, I think you did great with a 2pound weightloss. If I was 11 stone 9 lbs now, Id be delighted, be proud of what you achieved, you look fantastic and remember the lower weight you are, the less you'll lose each week but youre still losing!!!! I actually think its a sign youre body is getting...

Aww thanks so much girls, really appreciate the kind words. I actually did feel better today and wasnt quite so moody (still kinda hungry though but thats to be expected I guess). Just glad Ive tamed down a lil with my moods, it was worrying me. I know Ill have good and bad days on this but I...

Congrats Mandy on getting through week one, I bet you'll do great. Ill have my second weigh in on Saturday and Ill let ye know how Ive done. Talk soon x

Hi all, sorry for posting again coz I know I tend to go on a bit and moan but this site is the only thing keeping me on the straight and narrow. Anyways, Im on Day 11 and its still torture. The hunger isn't bad but I'm moody as hell, cranky, irritable and just being a regular pain in the butt...

I can totally empathise, Ive been on lipo for 11 days and its been some rollercoaster ride. For the first time Im not covering my feelings with food but actually facing up to them. Had a nap this afternoon after a tough day at work and just cried myself to sleep for an hour. Normally, Id have...

Hi, thanks thanks so much for your encouraging words. I'm on Day 11 of lipotrim and felt like caving tonight, your words are exactly what I needed to hear. Congratulations on maintaining, I only hope I achieve as much as you have. Thanks again.

Brill result. Cheers to you. That will spur you on.:)

Hi all, Im from Kerry. Way down South. Hope my boobs dont go any further south while on this, hahaha

Ah thanks, Ive no credit card either, got rid of it. Thanks though, Im sure there might be products like it if I look hard enough. Cheers again.

Well done girl, fab result. Anyone to stick lipo for a full week is very strong and this strength will carry you through to goal. Yeah for you x

Thanks girls. Group hug big time, we'll get through this. XXX. I think this site is a lifesaver and theres people who understand what each of us is going through. Thanks for the replies, I hope we'll keep each other updated. WE ALL DESERVE THIS.

Thanks for telling me you got it in Superdrug. Unfortunately, theres no Superdrug near me as I live in Ireland. I think its UK based. Thanks for the reply though. There is a Boots store near me though, they might hav something similar, thanks again though. People are really helpful and kind...

Hi, just saw this thread and sparked an interest because I'm worried about hairloss too. The product mentioned, ''FAT HAIR'' sounds good. Can you tell me where I might purchase it, never heard of it before. I cant buy online as I have no credit card. Thanks for any info.

Hiya, I deffo got aches and pains the first few days, not so much now on Day 10 but I still get the odd ache in the morning. I think this is normal. We're just adapting to a very low cal regime. I reckon our whole body reacts, but I actually believe this is a good thing. Its like we're...

Hey Pinkstar, you did brill, congrats. Dont give in now, not worth it. Think how you will feel after if you eat that food i.e. Like crap. Think before you sink, rise above it. You will feel great afterwards, think of the scales next week once you hold tough now. Youve done BRILLIANT, dont spoil it.

Hi all, I just want to apologise before I start rambling, I just have a need to write to keep me on the straight and narrow. Well, here I am at Day 10, didnt think Id make it to Day 2, but I think something clicked with me this time i.e. Im 37 in July and if I dont get rid of this weight for...

Hi to all who answered my post. Thanks so much, great advice and encouragement. Im on Day 10, stll going strong and I think today was a bit easier in that my form is better but I just have to keep telling myself why I haveto see this through. All your comments and advice are a boost and I know...

Hi all again, Im on day 9 of my journey with lipo, actually thought it was day 10, then changed my mind again and realised it is day 9. Thats how loopy Ive got trying to keep to this and it is well worth it I know that. However, I need this site coz I do get very down coz food was always my...

Thanks for the great posts. However, I still feel hungry sometimes and get cravings but then again Im only on day 9. I lost 10 pounds and delighted with this but the damn cravings keep coming. I havent given in to them and dont intend to but just hoping theyll ease off. I guess getting trough...

I'm delighted if I helped in some way, we all need support on this and we all get cravings and want to nibble. I just made a pizza for my son there, pure torture taking it out of the oven, sorely tempted but again just thought of the consequences. I know Ill have good and bad moments all the...

Well, well done. What a fantastic achievement, I only hope I do as well, an inspiration. Cheers and Congratulations. The people on this forum keep me going and help spur me on. I wouldnt have reached day 9 even only for it, sorry Im on Day 10, wow!!! Thats an achievement for me but seeing other...

I dont think it will knock you completely out of Ketosis, a huge Big Mac meal might so no worries there. However, my concern from experienced is that once I touched anything at all, it led to more nibbling and finally it led to the slow death knell of my lipo experince the first time. This might...

I'm just on day 9 but the thing that keeps me motivated so far is a Journey Journal where I record my lioptrim journey. All the reasons I started are there, why I have to continue this and the consequences if I don't stick to this. So, anytime, I feel like self sabotaging, I dive into this...

Hi, it's totally normal, I'm on day 9 and still feel lightheaded and bit off somedays but it's definitely worse the first few days. So, no worries at all, I think everyone experiences that with lipo. On the plus side there will be days where you're full of energy and on top of the world. Just go...

Thanks, thanks SO MUCH, Determined Girl. This will keep me going. The quote is brilliant, "ONCE YOU CHOOSE HOPE, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE." An inspiration, needed it right now and will keep me going. Cheers Girl.

Hi, I think Its the self sabotage tendencies that cause us to break our mojo, its like we think we dont deserve to be slim and happy. I always was my worst enemy whenever it came to losing weight but dont give in to the lil demon in your head. Youve done fantastic to lose 21 pounds in five...

Sorry, only replying now, just logged in again and found the thread. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I feel much better today, Day 1 of my second week, would eat but think thats just habit, rather than hunger. Feel I can stick to it now all of a sudden but I know I will have good...

Hi all, I've just had my first weigh in with lipotrim and I'm delighted I lost ten pounds. My energy has improved compared to first four days (Hell) but I'm still getting cravings. I heard these would lessen but even after getting a good result, I still want to eat the house out. I am on the...

Ive tasted it and it by no means is it like your grannies soup. But, but Ive heard with pepper, lots, its bearable. You might like it though. Id say if I manage to get passed the first two weeks, Ill find anything I can taste bearable, haha. Good luck you again

hA, HA, just read there you love the chicken soup, sorry for what I said but just goes to show everyone is different apart from fact we are all losing weight. Yeah.................................But Yipee at goal. We can get there!!!!!!

Oh and about the chicken soup, I find it rotten, much prefer choc n strawberry shakes. Again might be just me but dont worry too much if you cant get hold of them from your pharmacy, youre not missing much. Good luck again, remember youre not alone doing this, this site is FAB.

Hi, I'm on my sixth day of lipotrim and although its tough, its no way as bad now compared to first four days. Missing a shake will not do you any harm but from what I know its way easier to succumb to food if you dont have the three prescribed shakes per day. No worries apart from this, just...

Mandie, I know exactly how you feel. I'm on my 4th day of lipo and feeling teary and irritable. Luckily, I'm off work today so was able to browse online looking at nice clothes I'll be able to wear and was also able to check this site out, it really helps. I'm struggling at mo too but I know...

I'll let you know, I can't use the ticker thing or anything but i'm going to come on this as often as I can. It's a lifeline really and its early days for me too, crucial days and tough days so Ill keep you posted and we can encourage each other. Its the only thing that works for me so really...

I read up on this and best solution for possible loose skin is to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Nivea Q10 firming body lotion is very good as is Palmers COcoa butter. Plus, preferably after losing some weight and sticking to the plan for a few weeks, start some strengthening exercises, and...

Sorry, Im the one really waffling but Im actually kinda tearful writing this because weight has always held me back and ruined my confidence but now I know theres a solution and I can beat this for once and for all. Also, to every woman or man out there battling weight, I sincerely wish you all...

By the way, even though i say I intend to stick to it this time, i have said this before and failed but this time, I amn't overly enthusiastic, just neutral and take each day as it comes plus Im more aware of my self sabotage tendencies and actually write in a notebook when I feel like shooting...

Hiya Sam, I only started yesterday for the second time, I lost a lot of weight the first time but unfortunately gave in before I reached goal. However, after trying all the other diets, this is the only one that remotely works for me and I intend to stick to it this time. I feel this regime is...

Thanks so much Caren. Im 36 now and Ive struggled with my weight for the last twenty years, I just want this to work for me now. I read somewhere that my weight problem could be linked to my emotions and I really believe that. I want it so much and I just tend to sabotage myself all the time...

Thanks Justforme, that was helpful, as you said I just have to get back into it. I just picked all day, didnt take one of the shakes when I should have and thats what probably messed me up. I picked on chips, chicken and brown bread, I didnt eat full portions but enough to mess me up. Ive drank...

Hi everyone, I just started lipotrim 5 days ago, I felt absolutely awful on the 4th day and I ate some rubbish but Im back on it again and intend to stick at it. However, I feel really pathetic I couldnt stick to it on 4th day. Do you think ive destroyed any possible weightloss and Is it a bad...
