Good Luck Phil, I think we are on the same journey lol.

Hi there, I am starting LT tomorrow and the pharmacist sold me some Nuphar+ fresh breath strips which he said Lipotrim had said are fine to use. Hope this helps (I know it will help me hehe) xxx

Good Luck ... You can do it x

Hello... I am so glad you guys are still here on this website. I start LT for the 2nd time tomorrow. A little apprehensive as I know how hard it was getting through the 1st day then 1st week last time. I am sooooo happy you are here though, I have been sat looking at your tickers and goals...

Thank you all. XXXXX

I have stopped LT. I am trying not to make excuses however I could not cope with the headaches. I take kapake for headaches normally but wow now they are bad. However....what I REALLY want to say is a BIG THANK YOU for your support and replies. I know it was only a few days but I have so much...

That lovely, though you deserve tons more. I have worked in the NHS for 12 years. xxx

Hi Trish, me and you both she is excellent at putting things into perspective x

lol thanks I just checked and am still in ketosis thankfully. I was originally thinking of my 'usual' takeaway but my hubby's face when I mentioned it was one of utter dissappointment.

Hi, I have just logged on and thanks for all the advice. I am back on track. I seriously felt ill with headaches afterwards so I won't be trying it again. I seriously appreciate your posts, and the kick up the bum. Got to wallpaper a room today with my hubby and doing a carboot hopefully...

Thanks 2hourglass x

Oh she is so cute, I love dogs we have a black german shepherd called Cougar, the last one was Maverick and Merlin before. Can you see the theme? My hubby was made on Top Gun. Just need another pup to call Goose now.

Good luck you will look gorgeous x

I know. I should have stopped. It's mad, my mood changes from hour to hour. From motivated to food addict.

I am so gutted, I could not stop thinking about food tonight and ended up eating. I chose a small tuna salad but I am so dissapointed in myself:sigh:. It wasn't even worth it, it tasted crap :cry:

Thank you so very much, I mean that. xxxx

Thanks, the calendar is a good idea I will try that this weekend.

Hi Jenni, welcome. This site is fab so keep on visiting for support.

Hi guys, It was quite a tough night last night :sigh:. But what makes up for it was that I woke up this morning and felt really happy that I was on day 3 and believe it or not my work uniform actually feels a little bit looser :). I think I will need to stay very occupied this weekend but...

Good luck for you weigh in. Let us know how you go on please xxx

Like you said, stuff work. You are doing so well, don't let the b******S grind you down girl XXXX

lol MB thanks for the info x

Wow what a difference. You look great xx

For you x

OMG that it excellent, well done x

What type of pedometer was it?

Hey, please take a look at the weight loss of some of the guys on here. It is outstanding and much healthier than being obsese! The only thing that LT requires tons of will power and the support of the fabulous people on here. I hope you don't give up your quest but please don't shoot other...

Hi Amanda, what a gorgeous picture! I put mine on under avatar if thats any help xxx

WOW that is brilliant. Well Done!!

Thank you all so much, I honestly wasn't fishing, I has make up on then lol. Am 37 btw. Again thanks. Love you guys already xxxx

I can't believe how old (and huge)I look:eek:. Got my hubby to take some pics and boy they were not good. This was just before he ate his tea of burger and chips. Just as well I think. I said to my son "wow I look soooo old" his reply, "no mummy thats just you :cry:. Oh well, if that...

lol I will try and thanks for the replies. I will let you know xxx

It's how you feel. Her idea of what defines an 'ill' looking person maybe much different to a lot of other people. I personally would follow the advice LT gave as they devised the programme. It's much better to be within your BMI range that just on the cusp of it. Well done for doing so well...

I love metallics at the moment.

Still day 1 lol but I am really missing my cuppa tea that I used to have tons of milk in. Has anyone tried tea with a bit of the vanilla shake in at all? If so was it ok? I can't stomach the coffee but am really craving a hot drink. Many thanks in advance :)

Thank you all x I am in competition for my shake though lol. My eight year old asked for a sip and loves them, yikes I can see me drinking them in the wardrobe lol

Hi there, I am sat reading all of your posts and they are truly inspirational. I love your weight loss notes. I forgot how much I thought of food last time I was on LT like I am now :cry:but I have a holiday to aim for and want to look ok. I have even tried black coffee for the first time...

WOW what an inspiration. Well done, hope I do as well XXX

Way to go the Future is indeed bright xxxx

I always had the chicken soup for my evening meal, just so as I felt I was still eating normally whilst my hubby had his tea. It's not that bad when you get used to it. In fact I didn't want to get to the last spoonful lol. I put spices in and tandoori spices worked really well to flavour the...

At least you came here for support, keep up the good work it will all be worth it. It's only tiny a blip, draw a line under it and move on to a fab new you. xxx

lol Howdy-doody, cheapskate you want a cheap coffin

Like the others say, if a hospital can promote it, the risk of LT or VLCD is so much lower than the alternative illnesses. You are doing a very good thing by reducing your weight. You will soon feel the benefits. I did last time I lost weight on LT, so much so I can't understand now why I...

Even thanks lol

Thak you all for the welcomes XXX

Always up for a chat

Hi all,:wave_cry: It's been over 12 months since I stopped Lipotrim and I have to say I am looking forward to starting LT all over again tomorrow. Just so glad you guys are still here for moral support and hopefully I can be of use too. xxxx Merlin XXX Ps not changed my ticker so if it shows...

I have been told that the coldness is due to the sugar change over process

Oh yeah! Fortunately I get back to sleep quickly, but I must have lost so many man hours at the begining LOL

Hi, I think there is confusion with the Atkins, where the principles are similar. The thing is if you get a 'taste' for it then that will grow (I know too well). Whilst you are on the shake your taste buds etc change, and the ketones attatch to the hunger receptors in your brain to stop...

Hi, To be honest I think we all know HOW to lose weight, but we need to find the right time! Also the right diet that suits for that time otherwise we would not be here. We really want to lose weight to look good. On the plus side we are PERFECT inside lol. Gottastart somewhere, here is the...

Thanks girls. I will try that.

Hi Bea, Wine is one of the worst offenders :( If you google wine carb content it also somes up with a whole list of others too. God I have my weigh in tomorrow and I am dreading it this week. LOL I tried to find a white alternative to diet coke so my hubby and mum couldn't tell but don't...

Great, I'll be there!

Excellent, I bet ya fell faB!

Wow Elle, 50lbs lost WTG!!!! That is absolutely Fab. I found out today that Vodka has NO carbs (Oh crap now I am tormented lol) I will email a CDC in the area and see what they say. I was initially referred by my GP to the Hospital so I went along this week and it was a group session -...

Hi there, God I understand too, I keep falling off the wagon, especially with the odd vodka (I have changed from wine) I keep trying though as I am sat here with my shake :( . I have 5 weeks to my hols, would it be worth changing to CD at this point? Love Merlin x

Hi, Well it was a great night and I paid for it when I got weighed today......I put two and a half pounds on :( Well I knew it was coming. I am completely back on it today and and even more determined to loose the weight. The place was fab though, very posh. My hubby and I looked at the...

Hi Guys, I have been naughty and cheated :sigh: I have still stayed in ketosis somehow but a lighter shade of pink and I am not hungry but now the gremlins have hold of me. I soooooo want to lose weight. Has anyone else fell of the wagon and got back on to continue to victory ? I was...

Awwwww Ellie, Sorry you are feeling stressed. Have you tried reki or a massage off your beau if you can't get anything from the chemist? I hope you feel better soon Love Merlin XXX

Hi Elle, Hugs from me too, you are an inspiration to us all and help us a lot so any help we can give.....we will always be here for you too.

Well done Catherine thats a great result and well worth all you efforts sofar, you will soon see your clothes getting looser. Keep up the good work and keep us posted! It does get easier, I promise - although I make sure I sign in each day to keep informed and motivated too. XXX Merlin

Thanks Mini, I will ask for a couple of flapjacks when I get weighed tomorrow. XXXXX Merlin

Hi all, I have had an upset tummy for today and it may be a sandwich is the culprit. I wouldn't have strayed but I went to Chester Zoo with my little boy yesterday and forgot my shake. The best option at the counter was a Tuna on Wholemeal. I guess this was wrong and my tummy has been turning...

Hi Safee. Doing fine here lost anothe 7lbs this week (I wieght twice per week Sat at the chemist and Monday as this was my official start day). So 21lbs in 21 days! Still a bit gobsmacked! Rachel where do you buy from? I also pay £30.00 pw from the chemist. I am due a referal appointment...

Hi Elle! I loved the old wine too, but I get too lokk forward to it on my hols (in moderation of course) I had been know to get a pint of it on hols before now....hic. Loe your happy things :)

Hi guys, Just an idea but I was thinking about what is making me happy at this moment in time and wondered if you all wanted to join in? I'd love to hear yours. 1. Food is no longer controlling me, in fact it's like giving up smoking as I am thinking about food less and less and I am getting...

You shouldn't feel guilty at all. You are doing well on the LT and back on it now. You should congratulate yourself for make two great decisions!! XXX

Thanks Linda. Will do.

Thanks Rachel, I am with my soup now, as don't want to stop the ketosis. Thanks merlin

Well done Shell! Have a great time !

Hi again, Would it affect my weight loss as I have missed a couple of shakes. This hasn't been on purpose, once because I got up late at weekend and today because I was off colour (a tad dizzy and lightheaded) so was asleep most of the day missing the lunch time shake. Should I still have...

Thanks a lot, I will drink a bit more like suggested, speak to you soon. XXX

Hi everyone. The last four days I have had a really bad thirst, I think I am drinking enough, approx 3L per day but is seems more raging now. I did test my bloods on my fathers blood glucose monitor and they were fine at 4.1. Also I have been flavouring my evening soup with a little...

Awwww thanks Rachel, thats lovely. How did you get on? Did you have a good time?

Hi all, My second weigh in yesterday and I have lost a stone in 2 weeks! :party0023: Thank you all for your support and new LT's this site should be mandatory. It has helped me when I was low and made me laugh a lot as well. I check in every day. The support you have given me over the last...

Thats great news Elle. I have bought some size 16's for my hols in 9 weeks from ASOS, somewhere I previously would never have bought from. I feel better about it today and know now I will get into them. Have a great weekend everyone XXX

Seriously, thankyou all. I have read your replies and they have helped enormously. I will continue, I know what you mean about thinking how I will look at the end of it and being healthier. Thank you all again so much. XXX

Hi there, I am struggling a bit on LT. I don't understand because on days 5-7 I was absolutely fine but the last 3 days I have been really cheesed off with the diet. I know it works, and am more or less ok in the days at work, but at night I am constantly thinking of food. My hubby is very...

Hi Sandra, I too am new I have been on LT for 9 days now. It does work I lost 9lbs in my first week. The advice on this forum is great and I can honestly say I have never come across a nicer bunch of people!!! They are so supportive. I now come here every day to keep my motivation up. Good...

Thanks guys, I must admist I was a little browned off with LT last night, the daytime doesn't bother me but at night I am used to a glass of wine and my tea. I think basically I may have been looking for permission but I will stay fast as I really really want to loose the wight this time...

Thanks for the advice. I can't really miss the meal as they are here for two days before going to see other relatives, but understand where you are coming from. I do not want to ruin my efforts and acheivement. I will ask prior if the restaraunt will make up the shake. Thanks very much xxx

I am off to Majorca in 8 weeks, oh I am sooooooo looking forward to it.

Hi there, I have been on LT for 9 days and prior to this have been invited to a posh meal by relatives coming over from the U.S. I don't feel I can refuse as they love to see my family and me, but don't think it would look right sat there with water. It's not until the 17th August. Also...

Thanks Bea! It looks like you are doing great too. Cant's wait for my hols though when I can eat a bit and drink a bit. Has anyone been through re-feeding though in the past as I am a bit concerned my body might have a fit when I introduce foods etc whilst on hols.

Good luck Rachel, I am sure you'll be fine. I know what you mean about weekends lol. I must keep more occupied.

Hi again, Got weighed Saturday (5 days in) and had lost 6.5lbs then weighed myself today, (the scales have the same reading as the chemist) and I am amazed.... I have lost 9lbs in my 1st week. Thankyou for your support. My PC went down on saturday and I so wanted to read the forum, I was...

Hi there, Like the other guys all say, hit day 5 and its fine! I say that because I am on day 5 now. The though of food still rumbles around in my head but I remind myself I am not actually hungry and it will be soooooo worth it. I also keep telling myself that I put me here, so I have to get...

Wow! Whate wonderful replies and so quickly, you have made me feel very welcome. Thank you to you all. I will certainly let you know how I get on. I really believe this is my moment to lose weight after years of increasing my weight and once at goal I know I will never ever eat like my past...

Hi there, This forum is fab! I have been reading the threads for two days and must say he support is fantastic. I have just started on the female Lipotrim and get my first weigh tomorrow. What weight loss can I expect to lose generally? I have not cheated once by the way LOL Merlin XXX...
