thanks all, i just love running, thinking of the half marathon in october, currently doing 10 k in 1.15 and feel confident i can do it so gonna think about it the next few weeks! 13 miles i couldn't have walked half a mile last year - how things have changed, good luck to all, keep it up xx

Hi. Chewed gum right the way through as my job means being close to people. I discussed this with pharmacist. However maybe it's just me, I also drank coffee with some milk daily. I lost 4 stone in a few months and have list 6 and half in total and maintained for 6 months. We're all different...

Haven't Been on here for a while. It's now 6 months since I finished lipotrim, I lost a further 12 lb and have maintained ever since at 10 and half. I'm strict but always treat myself. My body doesn't want to go any lower but my shape always changes. I think thus is due to running. I do over 20...

thanks for the comments, kered i love slimming world it's really easy and lots of variety

Hi all Thought i'd update, been to slimming world tonight and lost 3lb, taking my total to 6 stone (over 4 stone on lipotrim, rest on sw) and now in the 10 stones!!! I still can't believe it, and i feel fab! and much to my amazement some of the size 10s i bought are getting too big!! good luck...

Hi I go to classes, i just weigh then leave, gives me motivation as i need someone weighing me! its not just red and green anymore, there's a plan called extra easy, you mix red and green together so meat, veg and carbs can be eaten on the same day and believe me it is extra easy!! Hope this helps

Hi I refed 8 weeks ago and have managed to still lose weight every week via slimming world and exercise. I never cheat eating wise and save all my sins to have a drink on the weekend. You don't need to put weight back on unless you slip back into old habits. healthy eating and exercise will...

fantastic post betsy, you've done just amazing. You've inspired me a few times. I totally agree about changing for life, we can't just lose it all then go back to eating as we were. Good luck with everything

tanya you can have between 5 and 15 sins per day, a single vodka is 4 sins so if you're planning on going out you can save your sins. There's also a thing called flexible sins where you can go over on special occassions. There's a slimming world forum on here, have a look.

Thanks summer and Kered slimming world used to be red & green days but you can now mix, which makes most food free. Meat and veg can be mixed and no limit but you should have a third of your plate full of superfree food which is veg or fruit, toucan then also have meat and carbs. You still get...

Hi all Haven't been on here for a while but thought i'd update. I was on lipotrim for 5 months and lost 5 stone. As soon as i re-fed i joined slimming world as I think as people we need to change for life and not just do tfr and go back to old habits. I have lost another stone since re-feed...

hi all bit of inspiration to you all i hope. I have NEVER run and never could. In January I wanted to start trying to run as want to do the race for life. I went on runners world and started the jog/walk program, at first i was walking at pace of 4 for 4 mins and jogging at a pace of 5.5 for...

I think you should measure, the weeks I stayed the same I still lost inches. I lost a total of 45 inches. Now on day 3 re feed and all is well

Thanks for your comments and encouragent. Betsy I'll take some after photos, there are some before and halfway thru on my profile, your photos are amazing, bet you feel a million dollars. Good luck with the rest x

thanks nic for your kind words, i've really struggled to come to a decision and feel like people don't understand. you done really well losing a stone, keep it up its so worth it. thanks again

Ah well, i've finally made the decision thats been on my mind for 2 weeks. I've been on lipotrim for 18 weeks and have lost in total 5stone 4lb. Since Jan i've started running and burn off more calories than i have daily so i've been finding lipotrim harder to deal with. Also i'm really happy...

OK, I've been on LT since setember, with a 3 week break at christmas. I've now lost 5st 4lb and currently weigh 11st 5. My overall goal was to get under 11 stone. My weight loss has slowed recently, i know that could be to do with the amount of exercise i'm doing. The dilemma i have is...

Cheers for the comments it really means a lot. Good luck all and here's to a slimmer new all of us x

Hi All Hope your all good. Had my weigh in today and los 2lb, only 5lb more and i'll be in the 10sts, whereas i was in the 16s. My losses are slowing down now but thats ok, i'm still losing and thats all that counts. Been in a conference the last 2 days with people who haven't seen me for a...

Hi I'm definately joint either sw or ww haven't decided yet but do think its important for me as i have to weigh and pay for the pleasure, it then regulates me

hi i always stay the same which is a bummer but sometimes have a bigger loss the next week, but as people say we're all different

absolutely fantastic, well done you :)

hi I run 5k at least 5 times per week, i never feel light headed, in fact i feel wonderful after it, my weight loss has slowed down a bit but i think thats because i'm close to my goal weight. I'm definately losing inches and toning whilst doing it. I also spoke to the pharmacist and she said...

well done you and all the best for the re-feed, i'm nearly there also but it seems to be coming off slower now which is doing my head in. Good luck x

i use listerine mouthwash, asked my pharmacist in advance before using and she said it was ok, i keep one in the car and use it before going into meetings etc

thanks all for your kind words, its a great feeling, got treated to some retail therapy yesterday, bought size 14 trousers, tried on 14 jeans and they were too big but 12 a little small so i'm inbetween, couldn't be happier. Good luck to you all

Thanks both, little miss, my tip is to just think of the end goal and keep going. I do a lot of exercise, run daily, play squash. When you see the weight dropping off you know its for the best and stick to it. Remember we're all different and we all lose at different rates, sometimes i have...

Hi can you add 7 for me please. Thanks

hi all wk 15 and lost 7 lbs, thats a total of 70lb - exactly 5 stone, not long left now :D

Hi can you put me down for 3 and half so far please

Hi All Well wk 13 and i lost 3lb - thought it would be more as it was totm last wk and my first full wk back after christmas break. I've been running 5k per day probably burning more claories than are going into my body, discussed thi with pharmacist and she said it shouldn't affect it but...

thanks kered, its horrible to look back at yourself, i need to take more now pics really as the one i've got isn't very good, you can't tell - i was freezing cold after on the john lewis wheel after a day of skating in cardiff!! Oh, well done on your weight loss and giving up smoking, think that...

Hi All Was looking through photo's on my laptop today and was shocked looking at myself in the summer!!! it's funny i don't really see in myself that i've lost weight but the pics speak for themselves. I added them to my profile. Only another 2 stone and i'm done.............forever hopefully

you done really well before and will again. Good luck

I also only have choc, used to have strawberry but they turn me now. As for the soup and flapjacks they are awful

Thank you both for donating thats very kind, thanks, and good luck on your journeys.

Hi All As most of you know i've been doing lipotrim since mid sept, with a break at xmas and lost 48.5lb and a further stone before i started lipotrim. I thought i'd tell you my background and give you my story because i think doing this is a personal achievement and gives to a very worthy...

well done clair, you're doing fantastic

Hi I started doing 3k jog and now do 5k jog every day and play squash once a week. I never feel faint, dunno why. I do get concerned i'm probably burning off more calories than putting in but i'll see when i weigh.

Thanks molly, good luck to yourself also, you've done fab

apparently you should put into reverse, i will from now on lol. i was obviously being thick!!

Thought i'd make you feel better about your car with a little story... imagine the scene - christmas morning, you can't get up my hill in the car because of snow and ice so my partner who had worked nights abandoned it at the bottom. Someone knocks the door saying think you bet move your car...

cheers chelly and copog - i was amazed when i weighed to be honest! good luck both. Chelly you look amazing by the way - so different - well done you

Hi Caren Thanks for your comments. I run on a treadmill at home at the moment, i'll start road running when the weather changes. Don't worry about other people your doing it for you, stick an ipod on and go for it. I'm really scared of flying and heights so the sky dive is a real challenge...

Hi can you put half a lb please, this is after re-feed and xmas so not bad. Thanks

Hi All Well i done a re-feed for christmas which lasted 3 weeks. To be honest I really enjoyed it. I was rigid the first week (before christmas) but then allowed myself what i wanted but in moderation. I allowed myself treats but did watch portion sizes. I also watched what I ate to some...

hi can you put me down for 16 lb please good luck all

Hi I've been on re-feed for 6 days in preparation for myself to be able to have a christmas dinner with the family. The problem I have is that I can't manage 2 shakes and a meal, i'm only having 1 shake and a very small meal. I have had a few cravings but its all psychological, cravings only...

Went for my 12th weigh in, really happy as i lost 2lb and its totm, i usually stay the same, well pleased. I also bought a really nice hoodie from next this week size 16, i was 24 on top... so thats from size 22 jeans to size 16 (nearly in 14) and size 16 top, unbelievable!!

Hello all Hope your all doing well. Last week I was gutted as i only lost 1lb... this week i lost 7lbs and i'm over the moon whoo hoo xx

Hi I forgot to update last week so its 1lb for last week and another 7lb for this week, so 5 lb off my target, although i've only done 11 weeks and not 13 so i'm happy with that

Ah well....... week 10 -1 lb. I've never had that low a loss and was gutted. I was ill last week with an impacted bowel but corrected that by sat, however i haven't 'been' since, even though i've been taking fibregel so maybe this is the reason. Felt totally gutted as wanted to get into the...

thanks for all your words of encouragement. The last few days in total i've had senokot, fibregel, glycogen suppositries, 2 enimas and movicol - its finally moved thanks god. All is ok but a bit painful to sit down at the moment lol!! also i'm glad its not just me!

well done, keep it up

fanbloodytastic... get those pics on here and be proud, well done x

Hi Kelly Thanks Hun, just make sure you take fibre clear - the pharmacist recommends it and now so do I lol x

Hi All Have had an awful week..... bee suffering with impacted bowel, this was the worst pain i've experienced, trying to go to the toilet and i nearly passed out and was sitting there crying like a baby. I took fibre gel and in the end I had to go to the Dr... I've had a previous operation...

outstanding, well done, not long now and you look fab by the way x

I only have chocolate i don't like any of the others and their lush with crushed ice. She had to give me a couple of strawberry this week as she'd run out, i'll use them but i don't like them really. When i'm drinking them i just think, i'm getting slimmer and 2 minutes of discomfort drinking...

I know its hard but i think the kids get used to it. Only one time my 9 year old asked about it, i explained it and to be honest there's no way i could cheat at all, he's like hawk eye. If i'm making a sandwich for the other child he says you can't have that, even pouring some pop the other...

Hi Can you take off 3lbs please, thanks

Hey all I went away to work last week, took my shakes and blender, in my hotel they had an ice machine which gave me water and crushed ice. I only drink chocolate shakes and they were lovely with crushed ice. Anyway I came home bought a big bag if ice, put some in a food back and hit them with...

Hi All just to update, went for weigh in number 6 and lost anther 5lbs. I had to go and buy jeans as my others are hanging off me. I started at size 20-22, I picked up an 18 and they were too big, I thought no way would a 16 fit but they did, and i'm wearing a belt with them. I can't tell you...

Hi All Weighed in today and lost another 5lb, really chuffed as i sts last week due to totm. I can definately see and feel it now

Hi Can you take 5lbs off for me please. Thanks

Thnks guys, think i'll do some sort of weight thing and maybe just the arm exercises on ea active. It is really wierd though because I've never ever had fat arms, i carry all my weight on my belly, which is getting smaller but still huge!!! I've walked around today with a tin of beans in each...

I wonder if other people have this..... Before i came on lipotrim i lost about 10lb, have since lost another 20lb in the last 4 weeks (i was originally 16st 10 ish and now 14st 7). I used to do EA Active on the wii everyday but haven't done it since lipotrim as it burns a shed load of calories...

I struggle to keep track of water too. probably had close to 2l today, mostly drink about 3l but think it slips sometimes, i make up my sakes with 400-500mls and i do drink a lot of coffee, i'm so cold i need it!!! I'm going to try harder with water also

good for you, you'll be great and i'm sure you'll lose the rest in no time. Good Luck

well done you should be pleased with 4 lb, and just remember nearly a stone in two weeks, bet you can notice already, keep it up hun

aw thanks for all the messages, really nice to feel so supported, i'm not going to give up, no way. Thanks again

Hi all Had week 4 weigh in, my TOTM came just before i weighed, i also weighed a day eraly and had drank a considerable amount of water. I stayed the same.... to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. I haven't once cheated and i've done some exercise. I was wondering if anyone else...

thanks jenny it means a lot, you're doing fantastic also x

I'm really sorry your so down, what you've done is amazing, you've lost 3 stone and done really well. Ok you bought food but you could have eatne them all and more, instead you recognised that you didn't want to do it and spat them out. It takes realcommittment to do that, especially given...

happy birthday, i hope you have a fabulous day x

Hi all Well i thought i'd do my own thread so i can track my progress. I've always been overweight since i was young. During my late 20s I've been on numerous diets and have managed to lose a lot of weight. On these occassins i had a personal tragedy, i lost my mother and father within 3 years...

well done thats fantastic

i've bought a tongue scraper, its great £1 in asda

shakes all the way, i think you get used to them, its just part of my day now

great stuff

i'm rubbish at science but one thing i know is i'm very short and losing quite a bit

well done

well done

i think its disgusting but each to their own, you have to find the one you like, choc shakes all the way

well done for getting back on track

all the best, it definately works

Hi, i'm a regular acid sufferer and am prescribed meds for it, when i started i had to tell the pharmacist this and they said it didn't matter... to be honest mind i haven't taken one since starting as it seems to have gone which is a bonus

well done, straight and narrow this week then??

absolutely brilliant, well done guys

thats determination!!

good luck in the future, i don't envy the gall stones thing, i had them out 2 years ago which is pure relief as i've never felt pain like it

great stuff, well done you

I only have chocolate now, i tried everything, was almost sick with the chicken soup and flapjacks... I don't mind strawberry but choc is my fav so i'm sticking with that

well done

fantabulous, well done, bet your over the moon

Hi, can i join please and say -30lbs, if its already started i weighed today (7th) and lost 4lb Thanks

absolutely outstanding, pure inspiration, you should be so proud of yourself.

Hi, i'm only on my 3rd week but decided to go on my treadmill last week..... wrong decision, it was ok when i was on there and managed to run quite a bit but when i got off i thought i was going to pass out, felt really weak so i'm gonna leave it until next week. The best exeercise i do is EA...

I agree with anne-marie, I'll eat forever, for me, this is about shifting the weight quickly in order to start a healthy new me. I don't think about it a day at a time, instead i've thought ah well i can eat in december. This is my 3rd week and i've sat through people eating all my favourite...

well done, fantastic loss

Hi Murza I'm on day 5 and also feel good, going for my first weigh in tomorrow, hope i've lost a bit!!

Hi All, I started LT yesterday after reading lots about it. To be honest I found yesterday ok, I wasn't hungry but found my thoughts turning to a nice cup of coffee (i normally drink about 20 cups a day, on top of this i drink loads of pepsi max). When i got home i had a black cup of coffee...

just testing the ticker, i'm starting LT tomorrow, so want to be ready to track!

Hi All After hearing about Lipotrim last week via a friend I came across this forum and have read loads of information, and i must say ery inspiring stories. As a result i'm starting lipotrim tomorrow, i've been a yo yo dieter for years but once and for all want to lose the weight and keep it...
