2nd weigh in...4lbs gone :) :) thats 10 in total... Well on target!

I agree with lou lou... Hate all that going to the chemist and getting weighed and advised by a stick insect sales girl!! Also imho the products taste nicer.. Particularly the bars :)

I think its only coke zero? Haven't given in to that craving yet! Yeh I'm on week two its flying in! I seem to have stopped losing so going to up the water intake. 2nd weigh in on Friday.

Hi! I love the bars, compared to the lipo ones they are like heaven. Are any of the soups nice? I'm on day 10 and want something not sweet! Can you add a pinch of salt?

You can knock yourself out of ketosis i think.

Once you are in ketosis you are on your way! They say the first weeks loss is mostly fluid, it could be you just didn't have much fluid retention.. I've heard that happens sometimes on these diets. I think tge tummy bug put me out of ketosis, not sure how, but it did. However today i feel...

Oh please let it be! Hopefully the fizzy water will keep my hydrated, and i found a bar easier to eat than a shake.

Hey all first weigh in today and I'm 6lbs down, very happy! Unfortunately though today i have thecworst tummy bug and am feeling quite sick and achy :( i wouldn't want to eat today even of i could. I had my bar this morning and had to leave some, tben had choc shake, and really don't think i can...

Take a paracetamol, no harm, those headaches are not nice. Also really cold fizzy water can make you feel full and refreshed for a while.

Think I'll get one or two. I am LOVING the bars! They really are tasty, and they keep me full for ages. Day three has been tough, not particularly because of hunger, more from temptation, i was with family today. I feel good now, the fizzy water keeps the hunger away :-) Funny thing is I'm...

Hi i started on friday on the total solution, yes it is a bit quiet around here lol!!

No alcohol, there is a reason why they call it "liquid cream cake"!!!!

Thanks folks :-) Day two going well! Passed by a bakery today out doing errands, lovely smells were drawing me in, then i caught sight of my reflection in the window if another shop and it soon put a stop to any temptations!! Just finished a banana shake, u didn't think i would like it, but...

Its weird how similar our stories are! I did lipotrim for a month in November/december 2009 thought my missed totm at end of December was because of lipo but no it was actually my son making himself known! Then had 9 months of all day sickness, beautiful son aged 2 now, seperation last year...

Hi there, Well i am finished with day one. I wanted to start on a Friday as weekends are usually tough for me (was on lipotrim in 2009 and last year). I had a really strrssful day as i am a single mother and Friday is the day my ex takes my son so there is always some kind of drama. So usually...

Hi Thanks Tanya :D put me down for 14lbs xx

Anne-Marie, I'm delighted for you! You are almost there lovey! And as for the ex...well, lets just see how that pans out...diamond rings are all very fine, its love support and honesty that counts. xxxx

Is it too late to join???

That sounds awful, I really admire your determination though...fingers crossed the worst is over now. I haven't "gone" in three days now and that was only because I took dulcolax...I've been to the chemist and got some fibreclear. I don't want to keep taking the dulcolax as its a bit harsh on...

Yes I understand how frustrating this must be. 5lb's is of course not a small loss and I'm grateful to everyone for setting my mind at ease about that. Irishmum...thanks so much for your understanding xxx

Irishmum....calm down. I understand you are frustrated, but I don't think there is any need to be so harsh. Like most people here my excess weight has effected my confidence and self-esteem, I certainly don't need to be brought down any further by agressive comments. I started the thread in...

I lost 5lb's this week...that makes a total of 12lb's so far...to be honest I'd expected to have lost a stone by now... Lacking motivation a little bit, but I'll be ok, I'm determined to carry this through. Can I just ask though, to those of you who are almost at target now...I've a few...

Thats amazing well done...put up some pics and give us all some inspiration, you've just done so well xx

Sounds like your new determination to be fit and healthy is making her feel insecure...she's trying to bring you down...ignore it.

Hey Anne-Marie, 3lb's closer....great stuff I'm delighted for you!

Cookeh....so thrilled for u! U will have a stone gone by next week! Re the loo question...I would say every couple of days but had to take dulcolax yesterday. My turn tomorrow, fingers crossed! Gonna try the string thing too but just on my thigh's cuz I hate my thighs!

Awww thats great news xxxxx

Hey Kelly, best of luck love! I've just had a nice hot chocolate made with half a chocolate shake, boiling water and a sweetener, its really nice to have on a winters night and fills you up! Try it tomorrow x

Oooh! Sounds great!! You deserve it xxx

Good luck for tomorrow lovey!

Brummie, my advice is to make small goals, rather than just striving for the one huge goal! I have a habit of looking at the "big picture" and when it seems to difficult to attain, I give up...this time I've set my self a few small goals to achieve, along the way, got the idea from some of these...

Wow...hope you heal quickly lovey, just get yourself better and then you can get back on track. Take care xx

Well Done Jane! thats a great loss you are well on the way!

Yes, she was a young chemist asst' and didn't seem to know what it was (it was not the chemist I go to for my weigh-ins and sachets). I wasn't going to stand there and explain it! I don't think one tiny little pill a day would mess up ketosis would it?

40lb's in 8 weeks...thats great!!

Thanks! Really glad I'm not the only one! I have no intention of giving up don't care how many I get!

Hey hun, you know whats best...I for one am not going to curse you...you've done really well so far, just keep the end goal in sight and you'll be ok :D

Hi Jd....I know, its tough the first few days, but if you stick at it then it should get better after a few days! I've tried a few different things to curb the cravings, first adding a little coffee to my chocolate shake with ice cold water and some ice-cubes...its like liquid tiramisu! Also...

Hi All! I have developed a crop of mouth ulcers (ouch) and Cold Sores (double ouch) over the weekend. I haven't had a mouth ulcer since I was a teenager, and I have only had 3 cold sores in my entire life!!! So, I went to the chemist today and got the compeed patches for the cold sore, and...

Well done! Thats nearly a stone, go you!!!:D

Hey Cookeh...day 11 for me...tough weekend I must say. Found it difficult to remember to drink water while out and about with OH...also there were times I cried because I craved food so much...but I'm hoping those cravings get less and less as I go on and break all those bad habits! Looking...

OH wow!! Thats just brilliant! Delighted for you! Hey, don't go away once you reach goal...we need the inspiration from people like yourself :D

Well done!! What a great christmas you are going to have :D

Oh, great, thats good to know! Been off them two days....doing well! For some reason when I smoke on lipotrim I feel nauseous...dunno what thats about but I'm not complaingin :D

Oh my god....you did so well! Resisting a chinese and then catching a tummy bug...poor you, must have been quite an experience. I'm in awe that you managed to stick to it...thats some amount of willpower! Great stuff x

Girls, thank a mill for all the encouragement! Feel great now! Thanks all xxxxxxxxx

Normally, if I had a day like the one I had today, I'd be on the phone right about now ordering a chinese, surrounded by chocolate, fizzy drinks and crisps...how thats not the case is down to pure determination. Today was supposed to be payday, I had looked forward to getting some bills paid...

Han han..I recognise where you have been. I'm not going into it here, but I recognise it. Thing is, you just keep going, as I did and eventually you start to make new connections and new friends and before you know it, you've got a new social circle. You've done so well and are an inspiration to...

Oooh, I have a big smile on my face after reading that! Well done!

Aww thanks everyone! Just enjoying a creamy latte now with my new vanilla shakes! Great idea its lovely! And I'm also getting addicted to adding coffee to my choc shake can I say "liquid tiramasu"!! Cookeh, yep I sure will be here with you! Ladies...I can't find that thanks post, there is a...

Hi All, I lost 7lb's in my first weigh-in today...I'm happy enough with that, its given me a boost...I have been tempted a few times, but just keep visualising skinny confident me and its enough to turn me away from any food! Have to say the first week has flown in! After the initial...

Cookeh, great loss!!! Wow, you are well on your way there! My turn tomorrow evening! fingers crossed I do as well!

Well done to you!

Tash, it sounds like maybe even the slightest hint of you taking control of your life (i.e. starting lipotrim) is making him feel threatened...he's testing the boundaries, just let him test away, but you plow ahead with the changes you need to make for YOU...if he's not happy with that...its his...

Well done!!! Truly inspirational!

Just finished a three year diploma in counselling and psychotherapy. PCI College in Clondalkin, Dublin. WhooooT!

Just finished the last of my college essays....stayed up until 5 last night and then got up at 10 this morning...finished now and I'm off to the printers! I am overjoyed...I know its not weight or LT related, but perserverence has payed off and I feel more confident, starting to think maybe I...

Cookeh...well done lovey! There are girls on here who've done really well...when I've asked for tips they always say "Drink lots of water" I only had 2.5 litres yesterday, myself, today I'm having 3 at least...it seems to do the trick! Yay!!! We can do it!

Thats amazing...you are unrecognisable! And a very pretty girl! Enjoy the diet coke!

You are so so close!! Well done!

Wow look at those stats!! Well done!

Charley, thats fantastic, well done xxxxxx Your weight loss is inspirational! If I can lose that much in 11 weeks I'll be beyond thrilled! Any tips??

Haha...you said it girl! Try to keep the smug smile of your face!!

What about a schoolgirl? I dressed up as a schoolgirls a few years ago for a last minute costume.. Just get an ordinary black or grey skirt (preferably one thats a-line or has a pleat..but a anything would do really) get a plain white or pink shirt (pick one up from M&S or the like) get one of...

Oh god..the girl who did mine was similar! She said she tried to do it and was on the maintenance so she could have one meal a day and how awful and hard it was! Then she started going on about her boyfriend :rolleyes: I dunno some people!

Thank you all for the encouragement! Cookeh...I was in a dreadful relationship for 3 years...at the time everyone used to say leave him, but of course, I had to figure it out myself, so I'm not going to be saying the same to you...its easier said than done, especially when there are kids...

Exactly the same thing has happened to me! Have you tried keeping the bathroom window open while you are in the bath just so there is some air coming in?

This might seem unrelated at first to lipotrim and losing weight...but for me its all tied in. I tend to avoid the hard stuff...I have avoided losing weight for a long time, now I can no longer avoid it as its effecting my health as well as my confidence. I used to like going out with...

I'm can't do the soup thing...I'm vegetarian! Yes I'm a fat vegetarian!! Look I've been down the road of comfort eating...I put on 3 stone at that time, never lost it...and comfort eating then became a bad habit...I've tackled lots of other issues with myself, this is the biggest hurdle so...

Hey Trixie, you know your not going to do yourself any good by criticising yourself! Of COURSE you were tempted...who wouldn't be, we are only human! Thing is though, you stopped yourself, you knew that NOTHING would taste as good as your goal weight will feel...

Hi Betty, I'm on day 4! Yes isn't peppermint tea lovely...its my little morning treat these past few days! Welcome (I'm new too!)

Jane...my solutions has been to start it when my OH is away for the week, it just so happened that he is away until monday so it means I can switch my phone off and stay away from people for a few days until the horrible hunger pangs stop and ketosis kicks in! Is there any chance your hubby...

What training do they give the girls who give you the lipotrim in the chemist...yer one told me a lot of stuff that seems to be complete BS!!

Thats a great idea, I'm going to steal that one hope you don't mind!

Hey, Ive been doing the same thing, I'm on day four (yesterday was hell...I cried at one point!) But seeing the scales going down instead of up for a change is great...puts a big smile on my face, so I don't se the harm??

Its no problem....wow you do sound very self-aware...I actually was in a bit of a similar situation 5 years ago (without the kids). Its a great idea to start getting your independence back...I think perhaps before making the move of getting out...try setting bounderies, bit by bit, the car is a...

Awww, you look fab! Are you going to do a wardrobe clear out and go shopping now? That pink one is so cute, do you know anyone good at alterations...be a shame to throw it away its gorgeous!

I never got any info sheets at my chemist...I'm gonna ask for them on thursday, thanks for the heads up!

Hey there...I'm a counsellor! Just finished my training...up until a few months ago I used to tell people I had no experience of addiction...until I did a course on addiction and realised that I had a food addiction! Silly me! I comfort eat too, when I'm down, when I'm stressed, and then when...

Well, thats good to know, she was only a youngwan!! What she actually said was....that if I excercise now then the fat on my body instead of dissappearing because of LT would turn into muscle and so I'd get "Bulky"...don't know where she was getting it from, but I believed it...perhaps because...

Hi there! I just joined a few days ago, and I'm almost the same weight as you 14st 8! Welcome! What diet are you on?

Hi Cookeh, I'm a counsellor...I spend my days sitting in a comfy chair! I was told by my chemist NOT to be too active for the first 3 weeks at least...something to do with building up muscle and muscle weighing more than fat???

You've got to wonder why they are so sarcastic lovey! I've a few of them in my family....people who like to put others down usually do so because they don't feel good enough themselves...so keep that in mind if they start! I had to tell my Dad I was on this diet as he offered to come around...

People have told me all sorts of scary stuff about this diet, from hair falling out to someone having a twisted gut! All I can say is right now I'm almost 5 stone overweight, I suffer from arthritis in my knees (I'm only 35) and have fibroids which cause a lot (and I mean a LOT) of pain during...

Hi Cookeh and everyone! I see we have a similar amount of weight to lose Cookeh! I am on day 3 and since ysterday afternoon have felt constantly hungry, so count yourself really lucky that you've not had any pangs fair play! I'm stuck inside with a deadline to finish an essay for college...

OMG You've lost over 100lb's in 23 weeks! Thats just beyond fantastic...and here I am way back on day 2 just dreaming of a thinner me and not being able to sleep with the hunger!! No matter...you are an inspiration! What you've done is amazing, I bet you feel great?

There is no getting around it...its going to be tough! I'm not worried about dinner as I don't eat meat, so I think I'll just have some veggies and my two shakes just for that day....what I'm worried about is all the chocolates and snacks that are always lying around on the day...If I could stay...

Hi thanks! I figured it out! Have set my self some mini-goals as others have done as its seems to give people a great boost :D

Hi All, I'm on day two! 52lb's to lose (at first I thought it was 45, but no actually 52!) Feeling a little hungry right now but I'm drinking water going to try and hold out another hour before my next shake! Its great looking at the ticker tapes and seeing how much you have all lost, its...

Hey, just started LT today, thanks for the tips, have already been trying to get used to green tea so good to know I don't have to stop drinking it as its supposed to be really good for you :) Have tried the chocolate shake with some coffee, boiling water and a sweetener...it will be my new...

Hello all, I'm new! Started Lipotrim this morning, 45 hefty lb's to shed, has crept up over about the last 5 years...time for it to go bye bye! Have tried lots of diets, but determined this time to stick to this, for health as well as self-esteem. I've got fibroids and arthritis in my...
