Thanks Sandra. A few more weeks in my comfort zone then I'll have to face my fears. Like you advise I'll keep taking advice from here and I think I'll keep going to the pharmacist for weigh-ins until I feel confident that I'm on top of my eating. At least they will assist if I seem to be going...

Well done on losing 5lb you should be really pleased. Breath strips have been a life saver for me. I know at times it's smelt like an animals rotting in my stomach (and OH going "pooh that stinks" was certainly an indication that my breath wasn't good - as if I needed him to tell me) but I do...

Thanks guys. You're right Sandra i do feel tons better about myself and the weight loss is really noticeable now.You've done amazingly well and must feel really pleased with yourself. I know that I can stick to this for the forseeable future without messing up as my head has and is so...

You just have to go with it really. I'm 10 weeks in and still have days when I feel lacklustre although on the whole I've not been too bad so I think it's just part of the process. Hope you've been a bit brighter feeling . xx

I'm in my 10th week and am amazed that I have lost a total of 47lbs and now have only 18 to go. Although I'd seen so many amazing losses on here I didn't truly believe that my weight would change in such a short time even though I've been 100%. When I started on 4th Jan looking ahead seemed so...

5 stone in 9 weeks - that's incredible. You're doing so well. You must feel so pleased with yourself as it's a great achievement. That first grotty week must seem so far away now. I started the same time as you so I always check in each week to see how you're doing as I always think if you can...

You're doing so well and looking good for it. Keep up the good work. Really enjoying seeing how you're doing. Good luck for the next weigh -in. x

I was told that a pint of water was one and a quarter pound in weight. If that's correct it doesn't take much water retention to show some weight gain - albeit a temporary one. Try not to worry it'll soon be gone. x

Had my week 7 weigh-in today and lost 5lbs which I'm pretty pleased with after a lower weight loss last week. I've amazed myself that I've managed to stick to this 100% and am more optimistic that I will stick it out until the end. A total of 2.5 stone in 7 weeks -if i could just shift another...

Curvygirlyclaire As Karazykat07 says good luck and big it up for the devon posse! x

Your losses so far are amazing. Well done. Here's to another cracking week. x

I never used to watch food programmes but since starting LT I watch anything that has food on it - I've also spent a fortune on cookery magazines with recipes and pictures of food in them to look at. Not all bad though as I've found a few nice looking, healthy dishes that I quite fancy so have...

It took me a couple of weeks before I finally settled down and stopped feeling hungry. Although I never really feel hungry I do have a craving sometimes which is usually brought on by smell. My OH brings in fish and chips and the smell of it with the vinegar just kills me. I know that if ate...

Hi there. I haven't tried any diets other than LT which I'm doing now for the first (and hopefully only) time. I was like you in the first couple of weeks but as I stuck it out the desire for food slowly passed. I do sometimes think I fancy toast or steak and chips or something but it passes...

I have stretch marks which I'll never lose (older than you at 45) but one thing I can say is that I used to feel so depressed about them and my body in general but since doing Lipotrim and getting the 1st couple of stone off I feel better generally about my body and they've become less of an...

OMG what don't I fancy! Steak and Chips with peas, mushrooms and tomato Caesar Salad with garlic bread - lots of it Chinese takeaway Crusty bread with brie and salad I could go on and on..... I'm a devil for bread so am missing sandwiches, baguettes, toast, crumpets. there's loads of...

Made it through another week and lost 4lb. The really nice thing about this weigh-in is that I've now gone from 14st 2lb to 11st 13lb. I felt really happy today thinking that instead of being 14st something I'm 11st something! I know I'm just in the 11st something zone but it's got me motivated...

I'm so pleased for you. You must be feeling really good. I was 1lb short of 2 stone at my 4 week weigh-in and it's certainly motivated me for the next month. I've suprised myself how I've stuck at it and I think I've also been a bit suprised that LT really does do what it says it does. Keep up...

I'll go for a stone this month Trose -8-10lbs Karazykat07 14lbs (-4, 10 to go) PaulaJ - 12lbs (-3, 9 to go) Shaz1980 - 12lbs Yeye - 14lbs Foo Fan - 12lbs Mirjam - 10lbs x__lis__x - 14lb (4 down, 10 to go) Mousey81 - lose 19lb (target of 14st 7lb) natalieann - lose 10lbs MrsMoose -14lbs so so...

Hi Chuck That's brilliant. Keep up the good work. My 4 week weigh-in tomorrow and if I've lost half as much as you I'll be well pleased. xx

My target being new to this at the beginning of January was 20lbs but have now managed to loose 23lb so think I'll change target to 27lb. Not sure I'll do 4lb in the next week as I'm sure the early weeks of large weight loss are behind me now but you never know and whatever I won't be...

Hi All Weigh-in day today and was a bit worried as I'd had a sneaky stand on my own scales in the week and my weight had gone up by a couple of lb. I didn't feel down hearted as I'd read that different days and different times the body weighs different due to water retention etc so wasn't...

Having one of those bored moments when once upon a time I would have had a snack - wouldn't have one and don't want one but thought I'd update this as writing down my total loss in the last 2 weeks might make it seem real! Funky: 10lbs(-6) Yeye - 12lbs (-11) SlimmerSu: 7lbs (restarting...

Hi Scarybush That's brilliant I'm so pleased for you. Hope the next week goes well and keep up the good work. xx

7lb that 's really good so try not to be disheartened. Half a stone in a week - I went to WW once many years ago and it took me 5 weeks to lose that much! xx

Thanks everyone. Scarybush - you've done really well too. Well done you're well on the way to completing your January challenge of 20lbs. xx

Chuck That's brilliant weight loss. Keep up the good work and hope all the rear end problems you were having have settled down and you feel OK. xx

Had my 2nd weigh-in and lost 6.5lbs which is a total of 17lbs in the last 2 weeks. I didn't expect it to be so high this week as the chemist said that after the 1st week the loss would decrease and average 3 lb a week. All good for now but still scared of messing up so taking each day it comes...

Today has been so hard.... had a really close shave. After posting my loss and saying that I felt tempted I did a load of ironing but it wouldn't go away and kept nagging at me. I found some crumpets in the freezer and thought "I'm going to do this" so put 4 in the toaster cut some cheese and...

Hi Becca Thanks for that - I've got a pile of ironing to do today before being back at work tomorrow so that will occupy me for a while. The best answer for me would be to sleep for the next 3 months! I've been going to bed earlier last week to avoid the late evening munchies. Perhaps being...

Today is my first weigh-in at the chemist - only Day 6 as can't get there tomorrow - but scales registered a 10.5lb loss. I know most of it is water and sugar but the pharmacist said that there will be a couple of lbs fat loss in that. Since I've come out of the chemist it all seems really...

Hi Scarybush Good luck for today and I hope it goes well for you. I had my first weigh-in at the chemist today (only 6 days in but can't get there tomorrow) but have come to this site on my return as I'm experiencing what happened with you and although I haven't eaten anything and going to...

Hi Shakes and Tubby I'm only a few days ahead of you - just got through Day 6 and as everyone had said on here the first week is not necessarily easy. As a result of reading the posts on here i expected to feel a bit ropey and certainly have but now feeling brighter and not actually feeling...

Chuck That's great - hope it makes you feel motivated to get the 2nd week done. Everyone on here says that the first week is the worst in terms of feeling rubbish so hopefully the next week will be easier for you. It's the last day of my 1st week tomorrow and so seeing how you've done and...

Hi Scarybush Don't beat yourself up - I'm the re-start queen! For the last year I've only got as far as Day 4 and then fallen off the wagon. On those occasions I've thought oh well ruined it now so might as well carry on eating. This time I've got through Day 6 so tomorrow will be a week which...

Today is Day 4 so I'm pleased to have made it this far. I've felt a bit crap and yesterday ended up going to bed and sleeping for a couple of hours in the afternoon as my head was pounding and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I very rarely sleep in the day unless I'm ill so that was alla bit...

I feel a bit odd and headachey but I think it might be too soon for me to be there yet, although my mouth tastes awful! Fingers crossed you've reached the holy grail of ketosis and it'll get a little easier for you. xx

Hi Scarybush - thanks for that. I think there are probably lots of people out there that started a pattern of eating for whatever reason many years ago and it has stuck with them. I remember when I was a kid my dad was at work all day and as my mum worked nights she slept in the day. When i was...

Hi Chuck Like you I'm just a couple of days in with LT but experiencing the same as you in the bowel department! Only had a few shakes but I think my body is so used to being stuffed up with rubbish and processed food that it's all been a bit of a shock to it actually having some decent...

24 hours in control.... Thanks for all the the good wishes. Pleased to have got through my first day and into Day 2. I didn't feel hungry yesterday but I think that's because I ate so much over the weekend. I notice on the instructions I was given it said that the foodpacks are "palatable but...

Today is the day I was waiting for - I' decided that 4th Jan would be D-Day and the start of Lipotrim. I think its fair to say that having decided a couple of weeks ago that today would be the day I became a human dustbin to the point where I was relieved to wake up today and know it was the...

Wow you look really good. I'm only starting on 4th Jan but seeing the 2 different pictures makes me just want to get on with it. I've read so many reviews about doing this where the doommongers say don't do it, makes you ill etc but you look so healthy. What better inspiration could I have. xx

Not quite got the hang of posting yet! Oooops.... haven't quite got the hang of this and put this in the wrong place.... what a doughnut! Now in the right place for the January challenge..

Count Me In .... Hi Everyone I'm starting for the first time on 4th Jan so not sure how much I should be looking at but will follow the lead of scarybush - 20lbs sounds good to me. SlimmerSu: 7lbs Cookeh: 10lbs Jayne33: -12lbs XxAbbiexX23: -21lbs Amanda105: -16lbs Daisybank: -14lbs...

Hi I'm starting lipotrim next tuesday (4th Jan) and am now really looking forward to getting on with it. Off to the see the pharmacist tomorrow in readiness. I thought about starting a month ago but he advised waiting until Christmas was over so here we are. Dreading being weighed as it's...

Hi Guys It's nice discover that I'm not alone. Last week at week where everyone is slimmer and thinner and younger than me someone decided to get the scales out and hold a mass, public weigh-in for everyone in the team. I was mortified - I came over all hot and panicky - I knew I couldn't do...

Hi Susie-slimmer How are you getting on today? My Day 4 and feeling a bit grotty - had a difficult 30 mins a little while ago when I felt desperate eat but this seems to be passing and I thought i'd have a look on here to help me get a grip. I was wondering which is your weighing day next...

I joined SW and attended a few of the meetings but my experience of them was exactly the same as yours. Although I needed to lose weight I didn't appreciate losing the money for no good purpose. My life might not be that exciting but even I thought wasting a couple of hours clapping and...

Hi Honeykiss Good luck with the re-start. Know exactly what you mean with the self-sabatoge and how hard it can be to get going again. I've had a couple of false starts and after one day have thought to hell with it but on Day 3 now and although hard going hopefully this'll be the start that...

What i really like about finding this site is that I can be honest and what I am which is so refreshing. I am not saying that I am a dishonest person but the one area that I have never been honest about is my weight and my size. When other people talk to me about weight and size I always say...

Thanks for the responses. Susie-slimmer I'm 5ft 6in and when I weighed myself before starting (and it is true to say that I'd just had my last meal when I did it so was probably at my heaviest) and was 13st 2lb. I'd found that my size 16 clothes were a bit tight but the 18's were a wee bit too...

Hi Sandyblack Your story strikes such a chord but try not to despair. I'm in the same place as you - lost lots then went and put 3 stone back on in the matter of months - I've got nothing to wear that's comfortable, feel like a sack of potatoes, am hiding away like you as I don't want to be...

Hi Babystar Could have been me writing - I know all about playing at it! After the last 6 months of trying to fool myself but not succeeding I started yesterday. Only on Day 2 but fingers crossed I'll have a good day. One benefit already is that I haven't had indigestion! I've stuffed so...

Did you ever have any doubts that you could do it or did you decide that you would do it and that was it? Were there many times when you were on the edge? If there were how did you avoid falling off? Sorry for all the questions x

You looking amazing. Very well done and I hope you are really enjoying the benefits of the weight loss. Everytime I feel like putting something in my mouth I will look at you and it'll remind what can be achieved given a bit of time and focus. Thanks for the inspiration. All the stories on...

Hello Day 2 today and seem to be very thirsty all the time. No bad thing I guess as it means I'm drinking plenty of water. I know it'll take me a while to lose all the weight I need to - probably looking at November which seems a long way off but decided to take the "one day at a time...

Thanks for the encouragement Thank you everyone for your encouragement. I'm going to do this. It's so good to hear from others who are not mystified by being out of control or bingeing. My OH is very controlled with food (and slim) and can't understand how I'm so out of control - the lack of...

Hi I'm thinking of starting Exante on Monday. I piled loads of weight on when my dear little cat had to be put to sleep (my best friend for 18 years) and I lost control. I need to get a grip and have been at a loss as to what to do but think this may be the answer as I won't have to worry about...
