What's the reasoning behind having a hot shake? If it's because you don't like the taste of the shake itself try making the shake up with cold mint tea. When I got to the end of my first stint on LT I found the chocolate shake to be quite sickly and unpalatable so tried this on someone else's...

Honk... I'm on Day 5 (Part 2)

Sess... its whatever works for you but don't let the diet turn you into a hermit. Its a hard diet to follow and doing it alone makes it harder... reach out for support from your friends if you need it. I learnt that my friends didn't want to invite me places because they were worried about my...

I made the decision early on that I wasn't going to let Lipotrim turn me into a recluse. I was up front with my friends about it (why be otherwise... their support makes things easier) and I told them that I would still go out with them and still party with them... I would just be the...

I thought I would drop by to see how everyone is doing and to see if anyone can make any recommendations for the final leg of my journey. I stopped TFR in November & after following the re-feed to th letter I've been eating really carefully most of the time, only having treats in moderation &...

Emma its great to return to the forum and see this post... I didn't realise we were re-feeding in the same week and you've done brilliantly recording everything and the best bit... we both still managed to lose weight!!!! Go us!!

I mentioned briefly on the weigh-in thread that this past week I have been on re-feed. Over the last few weeks my weight loss has, on TFR, petered out to only 2lbs a week. Whilst being disappointed that the losses weren't bigger, with the help of this forum I was able to take a step back &...

So... as the title says this week was week 12 and it was also my re-feed week. The decision to re-feed was made after three difficult weeks where I just couldn't dip below 12st. Lets just say I am over the moon to have carried on losing and have this week lost another 2lb... so although the...

I've been on LT for 10 weeks now... and the weight loss has started to peter out and get smaller and smaller as each week has gone by. At my week 10 weigh-in last Sunday I had dropped another 2lb bringing me down to an astonishing 12st 2lb which means I've lost 3 stones since starting on 8...

I was warned that although I have a Mirena coil fitted and haven't had a period for over 18 months they would probably start up again. This is because of the oestrogen in Lipotrim. I've been on Lipotrim for just over 9 weeks and in that time I've had 2 periods. Looking back on my moods and...

Thanks Ladies... I'll bear this in mind next weekend.

Well goodness... another 4lb gone this week and I thought it was a bad week! I'm now only 1lb away from having lost 40lbs!!! I've said it before & I'll say it again I couldn't have done it without this forum & the advice and encouragement I've received through it. Thanks again Ladies & Gents!

This thread has made me chuckle... my daughter works for Hotel Chocolat but has been magnificent supporting me through this TFR. I don't actually like their chocolate because it is too rich for me which is a huge bonus as she brings tonnes of the stuff home.. and yes... she's stick thin and...

I've just had a week off work and I must say that it has been so incredibly difficult to stick to the TFR. My routine is totally blown because I've slept later in the mornings meaning I don't have my shake 'til around 10am which has then thrown the rest of my shakes out of sync. I've always...

Suzy this sounds like a good idea... I'll do this today me thinks....

awesome Rach... it's funny how little things like getting into a once too tight top can make you smile all day!

Well well.... really pleased to say that this week I weighed in at 176.2lbs which means I have lost another 3lbs this past week. I sincerely appreciate all the guidance and encouragement that comes from the ladies and guys on this forum. Now everyone responds personally but just being able to...

Thanks Ladies... despite having a bad week weight loss wise I was able to buy 2 pairs of Size 16 jeans from Next so that made me feel much much better...

Well what a disaster... :sigh: After preparing myself for a really bad result I wasn't particularly surprised that I have only lost 1lb but it doesn't stop me from being really disappointed. Trying to put it into perspective by reminding myself that I've lost over 2 stones in 7 weeks but I'm...

Thanks Ladies for the well wishes.... but... and it's a huge but... I actually cracked this week... taking spoonfuls of food here and there on a four occassions this week and then eating "properly" (if you call two dry fried eggs proper) this evening. I don't know why it's started to get so...

A little late I know but I weighed in on Sunday and another 4lbs gone... Really pleased again... I'm now 12st 12lb...

Thank you Ladies... it's now Friday and whilst I felt really out of sorts at the start of the week... really questioning if I can really do this... I feel energised again by the diet and results I am achieving. Weigh-day on Sunday and I'm hoping for a steady loss again to keep up the momentum.

Thanks Su... it is indeed...

Thanks Ladies.. and indeed it does feel great. To be 2 stone lighter than I was only 6 weeks ago is a fantastic feeling.

Clep this is great news... well done!!! And don't worry about the clothes sizes... they'll come down eventually...

Great stuff Bren... you really are an inspiration!

So it was a good one again this week.. another 3lbs off so I have now lost 2 stone... over the frigging moon does not cover it... *edits* and when I say 2 stone its because I'm 0.1lb away from it and I'm taking that 0.1lb dammit! :tongue:

Emma you really are an inspiration.. well done... and that dress looks amazing!

Thanks Ladies... I'm still stunned... and smiling!

Whoop Whoop!!!!! Awesome news... I have some Size 16's that I can get into but which are too tight... I just keep thinking that maybe in 2 more weeks I can wear them comfortably... and then I'll hit NEXT and try a pair of theirs.

Honk!!!

So... after having an incredibly hard week... I managed to lose 6.4lbs this week!!! I'm absolutely stunned by this especially after the hard week but you cannot believe how huge the smile is on my face today. :D

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and understanding. When I went to bed last night I did feel so sick with too much coffee... guilt and general "this has been such a hard week" blues... and to wake up and read all this makes me feel so much more positive... it was a blip... let it...

I have been so overcome to have the sensation of food in my mouth (not hunger) this week that on two occasions I've taken small amounts of food. On Wednesday I put a slice of cold boiled potato in my mouth, chewed it and then spat it out. I had boiled the potatoes & sliced them for frying...

Awesome Chiku.... I hope you have a great time!!!

Argh Niamh... I know exactly how you feel!! For the first time since starting LT 23 days ago tonight was the hardest. I cooked sweet & sour chicken for my daughter and whilst I was cooking the chicken all I could imagine was popping a piece in my mouth... and then I tried to justify myself by...

Great job everyone!!!! I'm Honking for Day 23...

I felt like this last week and so had a shopping afternoon... but I made a point of hitting the cheap shops... Primark... Matalan and New Look... to buy some bits that fit properly but which didn't cost a fortune. Just getting a new skirt & pair of trousers for work and some t-shirts for...

What an awesome race eh Chiku? Just got through watching the forum and as usual I want to knock EJ on his ass... he's such an arrogant pig. I feel so sorry for Jensen.

Great news Emma... Well done!! I've weighed in today and have lost another 4lb.. which makes me feel great!

Whoop whoop Spyro!!

WOW... 144 for me... I love thinking like this!!

Day 20... 20 Honks... I could murder a crisp sandwich though... just for the crunchy & soft feeling in my mouth...

I love a thread like this.. it helps you connect and learn more about each other. I've spent time in the garden on my sun lounger today so I'm a happy bunny. Feeling a bit blue as far as the diet is concerned. In my first two weeks I lost a stone but this week I feel as though I've shifted...

Day 14 is over and done with... HONK!!! I'm looking forward to going back to work so I can get back into my water routine. I'm hating the weekends.

I had this explained to me today by the pharmacist who told me that the reason I haven't been able to just jump back on the treadmill is because I'm eating up the glucose stores in my body (which is a good thing) but, because those glucose stores are depleting, my body has nowhere to go for it's...

Thank you all... I think I've figured out why my conversions were different. I'm getting my decimal places muddled with my pounds and ounces... I'm such a plank. Nonetheless I've lost over a stone and I'm incredibly pleased.

Whoop whoop!!!! Great job Spyro!

Damn stupid iPhone... posting twice... if this can be deleted please do so.

Pleased to say another 4.2lb gone... That's a stone in 2 weeks. The pharmacist recommended drinking more as I told her I'm drinking about 3ltrs a day and she said to try to go for 4 but no more. *edit* this might sound really petty but when I got on the scales (at the pharmacy) it said 88.8kgs...

Ignore this... Please delete if possible

Just on my way to the pharmacy now... Feeling kinda nervous because I don't feel as though I've lost as much as I hoped for.

I have quite a physical job and so cut out exercise completely for the first week. Like you, I usually do about an hour on the treadmill every day (I was using the Couch to 5K training system) but I've found it impossible to do. I've had to start allover again and I'm not sure why...

Keep at it Bev... it's great that you're still losing. Are you going to do the maintenance at all or just re-feed and back to it?

Like you said you've lasted 5 days... get yourself to 7 and have your first weigh-in and you'll see what all the hard work was for!

Hey Emma... thanks for the encouragement. I've found that this second week has been just as easy but now I'm into the weekend I'm struggling to drink again. I've excited about tomorrow though... I might ask for some extra chocolate shakes so I can try to make the muffin...

16 weeks??? Well done MiniB!!

Day 12 & still honking!!! It's now Day 13 & the weekend which I seem to find more difficult than week days. Weigh day tomorrow & I not that confident really as my scales say I've shifted just 2lbs

Thanks for this MiniB... I have noticed the weight loss especially around my chin, neck and collar bones and although I moisturise straight out of the shower every morning I'll slap it on before bed now as well.

Day 10 over & done with. *Feeling a bit bloated but I think thats because I need some Dulcolax. I got on the scales tonight out of interest & wished I hadn't... Only 1lb gone.

Day 9 done and this is even with a trip to the pub to meet friends who ate whilst I drank water. I'm facing this head on and winning. I refuse to not allow myself to socialise just because I am on this diet.

It's quite odd really because after I posted this I went downhill really fast. Felt completely blown out by everything... and cooking a roast for my daughter and brother didn't help. I wasn't at all tempted to eat.. just felt kind empty inside when it was all done. I've noticed that I...

Day 8 done and out of the way... Honking all the way!

Oh thanks folks... I'm feeling pumped and positive for the coming week.

Hi Emma... Have a look in the Technical Support Threads for answers to your questions. Have a look at this thread which was very helpful as far as setting up the ticker is concerned. Mini has written a very helpful post HERE as well for all us newbies.

So I figured I would share... 10lbs lost in my first week... I'm stunned... and I'll admit that when I got home from the pharmacy today I cried I was so happy. I'm such a sap!

Sunday for me...

100% all week... so stoked...

Thanks Jan... thanks for the encouragement. I'm totally motivated for this and feeling really positive because of the results I've seen already and how easy it is. Day 6 down... I made my daughter's dinner earlier and just had no inclination to nibble or pick at it. I've promised to cook her...

2 sizes... Don't think about what they are doing... think about how great you are doing! Find a movie or program on tv that you never get a chance to watch because they don't like it or snuggle up with a book.

I just thought I would throw myself in here to say that I started the TFR last Sunday. Despite being warned about how difficult it would be I've actually found it really easy to do. It might just be that I am super motivated by the fact that all the guessing is now gone. I know that all I'm...
