I did Lipotrim for 10 weeks and lost just over 3 stone but I found it extremely hard to start knocking back the bland shakes again after a planned break. I still have at least 2 stone to lose and I'm using Exante to try and lose this for Halloween. The difference between the two is amazing! So...

So I lost 3 stone on TFR for a wedding in June, and I need to lose the rest now. I've kept putting it off so I thought I would come back here for support to start tomorrow as I found everyone so helpful the last time! I have another 2 stone to go and I want to lose it before the end of...

Lost another 3lbs at my weigh in yesterday so that brings me to a 16lb loss for April :-)

Hi Sparkling Fairy, there is a chemist on Botanic Avenue that sells LT (as far as I know), probably the closest to the City Centre. It's close to Queen's University, though just to warn you it's £45 here, we still don't get it as cheap as the Mainland haha. Swear we're paying for postage or...

Hi Bells, I didn't put down my loss for last week so can you put me down for another 8lb loss :) Only 2lb left to get next Friday.

Thanks for the tips everyone, usually vaseline works well for me as I would suffer a good bit from coldsores and none of those creams ever work haha. Was given a lip balm in a christmas box called Rose & co Beeswax and Vanilla - and the last time I had an outbreak of coldsores I plastered my...

Hey guys, just dropping in to say that I had a dream last night that I had put on 3lbs this week after pigging out at the weekend, imagine my surprise when I weighed myself on mum's scales and seen I had lost 7lbs... although official weigh in at the chemist I had only lost 4lbs. I am well...

Hey Glitzy, I think you should have made a pin (could be a name or place?) when you set up the tracker - if not, why don't you just make a new one? :)

Hi Annes, I am back on the train 100% with no intention of ever slipping off it again! After the time I had on Sunday night with being sick and having back/chest pain I'm nearly afraid to ever go back to eating proper food again to be honest! One thing I will say is; that it has taught me a...

After a disastrous weekend I am honking again :)

I seem to be suffering really badly from dry lips, no matter how much vaseline I put on them they don't get much better. I also get a terrible burning sensation too, is this to do with water intake?

Hi Italianslimmer, I was getting headaches too for the first 2 weeks and they stopped in week 3... I stupidly knocked myself out of ketosis at the weekend and now they're back so I'll know not to do it again :) I'm lucky as I live on my own so there is no food in my cupboards, although when I...

Hi, I'm the same - it was baby's birthday this weekend and I ended up pigging out on the sandwiches that were left over. I take the phrase; "out of sight, out of mind" too well, it seems that if it's sitting there it is calling for me. I feel so ill tonight and eating has not been worth it at...

You really don't wish you smoked, I was trying to quit before I started on Lipotrim but once I started the diet I had to start again, I was depriving myself of too much and becoming a grumpy, miserable, emotional cow. The weight definitely comes first for me. I have no idea about coffee making...

I smoke anyway so I don't notice the breath as much, though I have noticed that the more water I drink the less it smells :)

I need to go and I can't, it's a nightmare. I took a Dulcolax last night and it still hasn't worked... I was given some Senakot Max today to try so hopefully this horrible swollen feeling will be gone tomorrow.

I have no idea about the black spots, but your tongue tells a lot about your digestive system so it could just be a 'side-effect' to the diet like hair loss. I've tried every Boots in town and can't get the Listerine strips anywhere, my friend who is a dentist has never even heard of them haha.

Well done!

Thanks guys! I nearly slipped up today as it was such a nice day and I was treating the nephews and nieces to ice cream, I ordered one for myself without thinking :O Luckily enough I remembered before the girl scooped it up. Amazing how you think of food without really thinking!

I pay £45 a week and there is no way that I would have spent that on food for myself beforehand, I don't mind so much though as it's still cheaper than LL.

HONK :)

I was at a friend's house tonight for a 'little party' and managed to sit through them eating a Chinese takeaway and drink copious amounts of alcohol with nibbles the whole night! I'm so shocked at myself but I made sure I had my shake while they ate and I wasn't tempted one bit. Beforehand...

That's a good excuse to stop wearing black then, we're coming into the summer just think of all those lovely colours you'll be able to wear :)

I split my morning shake and evening shake in half - so effectively I'm having '5' a day, I originally did it because I found them repulsive but now I don't mind them at all so it's just habit. I usually leave my first shake until I feel like I am hungry, which is normally a couple of hours...

Hair always grows back, my hair falls out all the time anyway as I have been dying my hair continuously for 12 years and I have been every colour you could think of. If it does happen to you Annie try a new hairstyle - think of it as a treat too :)

I can understand you wanting to cover up, but you don't need a jumper. The way I see it when you're on holiday - who do you know and do you really care what a bunch of strangers think about you? *fingers up to the shallow people who tease* You should be proud of losing the weight and...

I'm hoping that I don't need surgery as my skin is terrible for healing, I still have visible angry scars from various accidents as a child :O It's good that the option is there just in case though.

Hannah, it's mainly my arms I am worried about. I put all my weight on in the space of 6-9 months a few years ago so everything stretched really quickly - I have worse stretch marks than my sister who had twins lol! Thanks for the advice guys, think a trip to Boots is in order for some...

This is the one thing I am really worried about through losing weight so fast... bear in mind I only had my second weigh in today so have not lost enough to have any loose skin, but is it actually a problem? I can already feel my belly wobbling and it never did before. :confused:

What a brilliant post Betsy!

I like her too, I just didn't think I looked that big haha :)

If only we could decide where we lost the weight it would be great, wouldn't it. An aunt of mine had a gastric band fitted a few years ago and she has such a gaunt face now, she actually looked healthier before she lost the weight. It's different for everybody and there are always options like...

Honking again! I resisted the urge when I smelt mum's cooking :)

Haha, no I'm not. I was given the nickname not so long ago and I think it spurred me on to lose weight ;)

It's all types of Latin dance in a one-hour workout. You don't even feel like you're exercising because it's just like dancing. It's great, honestly, and you're learning to do the Salsa etc while toning up... I imagine Salsa classes full of older people and needing a partner, but with this...

Hi Tammy, I downloaded them from Isohunt but you'll need something like Utorrent to save the files x

I always found that Evans' clothes made me look bigger than I actually was, especially the sleeves - when you're a 'big girl' do they expect you to be tall and have uber long arms? Maybe that's just me.

Hi Bells, Can you put me down for a 5lb loss :)

Honk honk!! It's getting much easier now.

I downloaded the DVD's a while ago because none of my friends would come to the classes with me, it's so fun even doing it in your livingroom :-)

I get tingles in my hands but not my face.

Hey! I'm on week two of LT and I'm wondering if it's any easier to be around food? My first day on LT I was baking with my niece and it didn't bother me as I was looking forward to trying the shakes etc, but our day of baking this week really got to me. I could smell the cake and it was delish...

I started to get bad breast pain just over a year ago, it wasn't constant but when it happened at first I felt very uncomfortable. While I was on a little break away the pain got so bad that I fainted, I seen a nurse who examined me (no lumps/bumps) and the first thing she said to me was that...

Hmmm, I'm not going to count my weigh in for today, but I'd like to lose 14lbs over the rest of the month please.

That's brilliant! What's your secret? :-)

Hi guys, another Irish gal for you here. I'm from Belfast. Travelling to Dublin on Monday for the day - my friends decided that they wanted a change of scenery (I think they mean new bars), they have every intention of drinking all day, not that it will bother me as I'm not a drinker anymore...

I am only finished day 5 and I slipped, really fancied something to chew so cooked a cod fillet. I felt guilty after 3 mouthfulls as I was doing so well, so threw the rest in the bin. I feel so disappointed.

This is exactly why I am losing weight. I want a Rockabilly swing dress from Hell Bunny for a friend's wedding in June but they only go upto a size 16... I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I make it in time.

Brilliant tips guise! I'm on day 4 and feeling fab already. I can't stand the shakes (never did like 'creamy' drinks) so I am splitting the sachets in half and gulping them down in one which helps, a lot. So glad I can still drink my green tea as I live on it, can't wait til WI :-)
