    If you count the chick peas as free, it is free on green and extra easy (5 syns on original). If you count no free foods, it is 5 syns per 100g on all plans.

    Hello - New to SW

    Can I come in please? :D I went to my first ever SW class last night. I joined Minimins several years ago when I did a VLCD but had to stop before I got to goal as I fell pregnant (baby is now 2 and a half! :rolleyes:). Had a rough couple of years (poorly baby, break down of 6 year...

    Breastfeeding and lipotrim

    Theresa - thank you. I think DD might have cottoned on to what I was thinking and has already had three feeds today! :rolleyes: If I also had a meal - would I use the maintenance Lipotrim? I understand the official line will be a resounding no. But I do think the fact that I am nursing a...

    Breastfeeding and lipotrim

    But surely burning calories is just a bonus? I went to the gym a couple of weeks into Lipotrim last time. I won't be able to do that this time because of my daughter (and I work full time from home) so aside from running around after her and walking the dog (which is more me walking over the...

    Breastfeeding and lipotrim

    Now before you all jump on me and say I'm irresponsible for doing so, I'm only thinking about it and I personally don't think it is as scandalous as it sounds. :o I was following the Lipotrim diet when I fell pregnant in April 2008 (see my ticker - I haven't updated since then, I've suddenly...

    new mums & mums to be !!! Who`s baby is due next ???

    Hello - yes! Sorry I was a bit vague there (I blame hormones lol!) Bit fuzzy on dates but I'm gessing at least 5-6 weeks so still early days. I'm feeling fine - just very tired all the time (I thought I was coming down with something! :o ) and eating again has been funny but I'm craving...

    Hi, thanks all. Yes, it will be my first! Thanks for the link Mini - I'll have a look too. You don't get rid of me that easily! ;)

    Leaving you guys for a while!

    I'm eating properly again, despite not being at target, as the diet has obviously made me rather super fertile, despite benig on the pill!! :rolleyes: However, I'm very pleased now it has sunk in a bit (and Neil is over the moon) and I'll be back on the lipotrim next year sometime no doubt to...

    ebay vs ebid

    I've been a member of eBid for a couple of years. It hasn't been able to compete really with eBay because there wasn't so much listed on it - not so many people aware of it letting using it. But hopefully with eBay becoming a bit too big for its own good that will change. I personally think...

    Bras!!

    Cups sizes are relational but a C cup for example will have a different volume (that's a bit of a clinical word!) depending on the band size. A 32D holds the same volume as a 34C, a 36B, a 38A etc. I was a 42E when I started Lipotrim and am currently a 36F - but effectively my boobs have less...

    Top of the class!

    Not sure whether it is a compliment or not (or whether I am - was - the fattest person in town! :o ) but my pharmacist told me today that I am the most successful person that they have ever had doing Lipotrim and have lost the most weight (4 and a half stone ish). Every single member of staff...

    When did you start and how much you lost???

    I started on the third of January and have lost over 3 and half stones so far. :) I too have always been rubbish with diets - buying all the stuff but never lasting more than a week or so! But Lioptrim is so easy - you are either doing it or you not so there are no grey areas and the instant...

    Lipotrim and trying to conceive?

    I think oestrogen gets stored in the fat around your tummy and the excessive amounts of hormones can play havoc with your cycles (so even if you did have a 28 day cycle, you might not be ovulating normally etc). Because Lipotrim makes you lose weight (and essentially fat) so quickly, it kind of...

    Who hates Chicken soup?

    Thickish paste, spread thinly on sheets of baking paper and zap for about 70 seconds in the microwave. For one soup sachet, I get about 6 sheets of baking paper (dinner plate sized) and that makes a lot of thin but quite tasty crisps. People at work have tried them and quite like them! I find...

    Who hates Chicken soup?

    I can take or leave the soup (as a soup) but as crisps the chicken soup is yummy! I'd have crisps every day if it wasn't such an effort making them!

    Fat Veggie! & Pink Patch?

    Lipotrim is very similar to Cambridge, effectively the same diet.
  29. J

    Fat Veggie! & Pink Patch?

    The chicken soup is definitely veggie - it can be alright really hot with added black peper or curry powder. I personally like it best as crisps though (and it avoids the hassle of trying to pack a shake discreetly at work!) I've lost just over 3 stone on Lipotrim since the beginning of January.

    Im going to do it!

    Good luck Vicky. The first week can be a bit tough but once you get through it is an easy diet as long as you are committed. A few weeks ago I started exercising because I fancied it (and felt up to it for the first time in years!) - aqua aerobics and a bit of extra walking etc - and it has...

    Will a diet coke ruin it all ??

    I quite enjoy soda water on my nights out now and no-one questions it really. I had an argument with the dippy barmaid recently who kept putting lemon in it though even though I specifically said 'no lemon'. I was a right horrible customer as I said fishing it out wouldn't do, I needed a new...

    PADDY'S DAY

    My company (Shamrock Marketing) has an annual St Patrick's day pary for all our clients - normally a bit of a drunk affair as it is a free bar all evening but I managed it this week all on soda water (apparently the bar total was £2k less than last year but that can't all be me even at London...

    appetite suppressants>?

    Cinnamon is meant to be a natural appetite suppressant and I quite like a bit on top of my vanilla shake (hot or cold). Once you are over the first week you don't really feel hungry though as long as you drink plenty of water. Good luck. :)

    totm

    This diet can definitely mess about with your cycle. My last period ending up lasting for 3 weeks :eek: and I am normally as regular as clockwork. I think it is something to do with the oestrogen stored in the fat around your tummy area (although I may have made that up - I'm not on this plnet...

    The massive cost of living...

    I have noticed how expensive everything is too. Even worse that they have gone up together and it's the worst time of year for gas and electricity. I was comparing electricity bills the other day and the cost per unit had more than doubled in 2 months!! Petrol is rather painful too - I...

    worry over

    That's brilliant, well done! :) I get nervous every week (even though I haven't cheated) and feel so relieved when I see a loss! I'm currently in love with my useless homes scales that keep weighing me almost a stone lighter than I am! lol

    Annoying comments!

    My mum was telling me I mustn't overdo it the other day - asking how much more did I really need to lose! I had to say, I'm hardly waif like! I can wear a size 16 top now (bum and hips refusing to budge so although my trousers are big on me, they stay up so haven't bought any new yet!) - but...

    Spare Male Sachets?

    Surely there should be someone else there who can sell you the sachets and weigh you? My normal lady was off last week but I just had someone else weigh me and give me my shakes (they did say they only had basic knowledge so if I had any questions they wouldn't be able to answer them).

    Need some advice please

    Hi Daisy - the only thing I would worry about if you don't do the refeed is how the alcohol might effect you as you would be in ketosis. I think Annie's suggestion above of having your shake and then just pushing you r food about it (eating a bit of protein, salad etc if you want) and perhaps...

    Belly Buster??

    Elie - I haven't been able to go down any trouser sizes yet either because of my massive bum. However, skirts I can because they generally aren't fitted over that area. So I have size 22 trousers and a size 18 skirt!! :o My old jeans were a size 24 and I could get them on and off without...

    Belly Bother!!

    Most of my weight has gone from my face and chest so far. However, I have been living pretty much in one pair of trousers so hadn't really noticed any change. However, today I bought a size 18 skirt. It is a bit tight but not so tight I couldn't wear it to work etc and best of all it is a...

    Sore bones and squidgy bits!

    Well my bones aren't sore exactly, I'm not sure how to describe it! :o I've obviously lost some fatty padding over certain areas - specifically my breast bone (I must have lost a stone from my chest alone!! :o ) and my collar bone. My collar bone huts when I am driving and the seat belt...

    On the verge of tears this morning

    Hi - I completely understand the desire to keep hopping on the scales and hoping for a loss. Mine was almost adictive at the beginning of my diet. Several times a day I would be jumping on!! :o But, I got some seriously weird results - my weight seemed to be able to juump around by up to...

    A question for the Ladies!!

    Mine have been very different too. Used to be very regular - every 30 days or so for 4-5 days. My first period after starting my vlcd was normal duration but 3 weeks later, it started again and lasted for 2 weeks! :o

    Week 3 ending

    2lb is still a loss - as long as it is going the right way, try and be positive. I had a 2lb loss week 3 but my subsequent weeks were really good. It all evens out so don't get too disheartened. :)

    Hi Daisy, please don't feel disappointed. I too lost 2lb at my week 3 weigh in (and not because of totm as that was week 1!). But think how much 2lb really is - it looks insignificant on the scalles but it is actually quite a vast amount. 2lb makes a huge difference to our bodies - every ounce...

    Lipotrim

    Hi Hinaz and well done on managing no food for the last two weeks. I think your nightly tea could well be effecting your losses. If you are really struggling to cut it out, try phasing it out in stages using Daisy's suggestion above. For the next couple of night you could replace the sugar...

    really upset

    I told very few people to start with (just my boyfriend) which helped enormously. Had to tell a couple of friends at work because they were so nosy. One of them is very supportive - the other keeps telling me it can't be safe (she's very slim). I told her its safer than being morbeidly obese...

    1st day on lipotrim!

    Green tea is fine (although I think it tastes foul!) I have replaced my normal cups of tea with peppermint tea (couldn't bear to drink normal tea without milk and sugar!) and am really quite taken with it. Good luck with your first week Lulu, nice to see you here. :)

    Quick Question

    If you are making up your shakes with extra water, then yes, the extra water can count. However, I would still at least try to do the four pints of water on top as it all helps. Also, not nice things can happen if you don't drink enough water.

    Excess/Loose Skin - Success Stories?

    I'm concerned about loose skin but will deal with it as and when (or if!) it happens. I read a good piece on the internet (sorry don't know where) that says most loose skin is maintained by excess fat under the surface. Elasticity will be affected by lots of things - age, diet, lifestyle etc -...

    Lipotrim new flavours???

    Yes, they do say on the DVD - the meals are palatable but are not meant to be enjoyable. If they were delicious you might start craving them and then you would be no further forward. The range is also limited so it is boring - so that eating is just a means of providing fuel for your body...

    Lipotrim convert....worried it's not safe

    No, it is just 4 pints you need to have. However, this is a minimim and if you can drink 4 litres a day then all the better! Be completely honest when filling in the survey because if there are any concerns it is much better that everyone is aware and your GP is involved - it doesn't...

    How much do you pay for your meal packs?

    I pay £36 a week - which is definitely less than I pay on 'normal' food. A sandwich and a coke every lunch at work was £5 so that is £25 before I factor in breakfast, evening meals, snacks, drinks, takeaways, nights out, popcorn at the cinema, hot dog on a Sunday morning if we went to a car...

    I think the boredom lessens after a while. The first couple of days on the diet, the excitement got me through. But from about day 4 to about day 11 I was completely fed up. I wasn't hungry so wasn't tempted by real food but couldn't face yet another shake! However, one morning I just got up...

    I ordered some of 'Elle's Bio Oil' today ;) - very excited. It sounds divine amd apart from anything my skin all over has become very dry so it will help with that (and hopefully the stretch marks and loose skin to be!) I think with about half my body weight to lose, I can only hope to limit...

    First weigh in!

    Congratulations to everyone - great losses! :D COM - I definitely wouldn't stop drinking. Just drink as you normally would. The scales will probably read a bit higher than if you had no water all day but the water is what helping you to lose the weight. ;) If you try to get weighed at the...

    Oh, Russian Doll, I would have wet myself with laughter (whilst trying to apologise profusely!) I hope he forgave you? I have just ordered some psyllium husks off the internet as everything seems to have gone a bit dormant (and the hot water is doing nothing). How do I prepare them - just...

    hey all

    Hi Elouisa - nice to see you here. Keep your chin up, you're doing fab. :)

    Salt intake?

    I was sat in the pub yesterday at lunch time with the girls from work and everyone's food smelt so nice!! It took a lot of control not to push them all out of the way and gobble the lot!!! Well done to both you and me and everyone else for consciously deciding not to though! It was tough and...

    Exercise and Lipotrim?

    I'm intending to go swimming more often. I love swimming (and especially aqua aerobics) and it's about the noly thing Neil also likes to do exercise wise. I'm not sure I can face swimming feeling as cold as I am at the moment though - maybe in a few weeks time! I have decided to take up...

    Salt intake?

    Hi Daisy - glad to hear your first day at work on the diet went so well. I knew you could do it. :)
  112. J

    Soooo Cold

    I have been drinking warm water (although the kettle at work makes the water very scummy which isn't nice!)
  113. J

    its monday!!

    Yes well done everyone! :) I feel weak but am resolute that no food will be passing my lips until I have lost all this weight - I know which I want more! :D
  114. J

    Why are we doing this?

    I can just fit in an aeroplane seat (albeit slightly too intimately with the armrests for my liking) but about 14 months ago Neil and I went to Blackpool. They had a monorail which Neil wanted to go on and although I wasn't overly keen I thought he might be quiet if I went on one ride (and it...

    Day 5

    Mmm, I think my cats' food look nice as well - although they moaned so much for tea I don't think I could be bothered to fight them for it!! :o
  116. J

    its monday!!

    I find week days easier but have felt weak tonight. :o
  117. J

    who's due to get weighed on Wednesday?

    I'm getting weighed tomorrow - argh! It's only day 6 as well but I couldn't do Wednesday as I have meetings all day in London. Grr!
  118. J

    Salt intake?

    So glad you guys are getting pins and needles too - mine have been really bad today and got them a bit yesterday.

    cravings...

    At work on Friday I was sat at my desk, suer as day I could taste cheese on toast! I am having very vivid cravings - I know I'm not hungry and I don't feel especially hungry but I miss food. I can't remember thinking about food so much before starting LT - but maybe it was just less conciously...
  120. J

    Why are we doing this?

    To be able to eat in public without the horrible feeling that everyone is 'watching the fat person'
  121. J

    Why are we doing this?

    To be able to eat sensibly and enjoy every bite I eat - with no regrets
  122. J

    Why are we doing this?

    I'm trying to start up a little scrapbook that I can take everywhere with me so that I can take it out for motivation if I need to when I'm feeling a bit weak, or down or just want te focus myself for the path I want to continue down. On some of the first pages I would like to compile a list...

    Day 4 and i'm struggling.

    Well done, Muffin - that is brilliant. :) I've given up with my scales - I stood on them three times this morning (all one after another) and my weight jumped up by almost half a stone each time I stood on them (so I decided to just accept the first reading and enjoy the rest of the day! :p )...

    About to start LT tomorow

    Hi yummyme - look forward to getting to know you. :)

    New Girl!

    Ooh - my boobs getting smaller is one of the things I'm looking forward to! :rolleyes: I'm a 42F at the moment - 36D sounds heavenly if I can get there (although I was a c cup when I was 13 and only weighed 9 stone so we'll see). I told Neil I would quite like to get back to a C cup and there...
  126. J

    Tell us...

    Day 4 almost over and done with. Been up and down like a yo yo today but that is my hormones rather than the diet. I'm going to get Neil to take smoe before photos for me later so that I can I have some inspiration to not reach for the biscuits (and also to show what a difference there will be...

    Soooo Cold

    Very cold me with clear wee here too! (Oh the shame of admitting so much! :o )
  128. J

    Cant buy listerine strips. Any susbstitutes?

    Ooh, the Tesco spray sounds interesting - I'll have a look for that. :) Gemma - if you really want the Listerine strips and can't find any, there are some on eBay. They are coming from the US but the postage isn't too bad - LISTERINE POCKETPAKS 72 BREATH STRIPS COOL MINT~USA~ on eBay, also...

    Tongue

    Yes, I have a furry tongue too - I'm pretty sure it means you are in ketosis. :) Lots of tongue brushing I think! Don't give up - you've done the hard bit now!
  130. J

    ketosis!! Its here!

    Ooh, since my last post an hour ago I have noticed some furring up of my teeth (and bad breath -Neil's sister is staying round and I was very embarrassed sitting next to her! :o ) I can go to bed happy now as everything crossed I will be hungry no more! Yippee! Daisy - I haven't felt too...
  131. J

    ketosis!! Its here!

    Clearly not day 3 for me because for the first time since I started I am ravenous! :o I have had 4.5l of water and that hasn't even really taken the edge off of it! :o Fingers crossed it will be tomorrow - I do already feel a bit more energetic and I think all the gardening I did today...
  132. J

    Any Men on LT

    Hi Duncan. nice to have you here - I expect there be a lot of newcomers this month and I'll have my fingers crossed for some men for you (that sounds wholly inappropriate!) :o Us girls aren't that scary though... ;)
  133. J

    ketosis!! Its here!

    Yippee - well done you! :party0038: Hmm, I'm not sure my wee will ever me dark again though with all the water I have on board!! It's brilliant that you will no longer be feeling hungry though - hopefully the road from here in will be nice and smooth for you. :)

    Hi Lacey - I'm with you on the toilet trips. I used to drink very little which meant 4 or 5 visits a day. I must be near 20 now I went three times in an hour earlier at lunch (and I only noticed because it was on the way out for my lunch, during my lunch hour and as soon as I returned from my...

    When to take your sachets

    Curlylow - my biggest problem is the evening. I'd be alright on my own I think but Neil is scoffing everything at the moment, especially as there is quite a lot of food round after Christmas and New Year. I bet he thinks I'm a right moody cow (and I am snappier than normal) but I have to keep...

    Lipotrim 2008!

    What a brilliant idea for a thread! :) Well, my name is Julie and I am 23. I started Lipotrim on Wednesday and am aiming to lose 57kg (which I think equates to about 9st - I work in imperial normally but the pharmacist didn't and I'm useless at converting so I'm sticking with kilos!) I want...

    My lipotrim slim down diary

    Congratulations Julie, that's is brilliant. :) My pharmacist said Lipotrim was going up to £36 from the £30 I paid on Wednesday as well.

    When to take your sachets

    Is there a set rule for taking your sachets - should they be evenly spaced, have at least 4 hours between each one or anything like that? I've been having my first shake in the morning at between 7.30 and 8. But I haven't managed to gear myself up to make a shake at work (which is why I want...

    any tips for getting the shakes down my throat??

    Ooh, I tried making mousse and it was a disaster. I just couldn't get the lump out of it and had to force myself to eat it - it wasn't pleasant. I've been having the shakes ice cold and whisking them to death so they are really frothy. I have a bottle of water before the shake, then the...

    How much water do YOU drink in a day?

    I'm drinking about 3.5 litres a day. I upped my water intake over the last month but was really struggling with 2 litres. However, since replacing all food with the shakes I have wanted to drink more to fill up so the extra 1.5 litres is getting tucked away fairly easily. I do have to go to...
  145. J

    Current cost of lt

    I paid £30 on Wednesday but was told next week it would be £36 too. The pharmacist said the manufacturer was putting up the price and there hadn't been a price rise in ages. To be honest though, £36 is way less than I normally spend on food and drink a week - no more lunch at the pub...
  146. J

    help ALOT to lose:(

    Hi Daisy, I started yesterday and have about 9 st to lose to get to a healthy BMI. I'm quite enjoying the shakes but had to just come up on the computer as my boyfriend has got fish and chips from the chip shop for tea and my tummy was sounding like an earthquake! :o Good luck for tomorrow! :)
  147. J

    REALLY CONFUSED CAN I TAKE LT WHILE TTCing?

    Hmm, I'm not sure what the official medical stance would be but I'm afraid I don't think LT is a suitable diet is you aer trying to conceive. Part of the reason I am on the diet is because we were unable to conceive, but I am using birth control until I achieve my goal and am maintaining...
  148. J

    any tips for getting the shakes down my throat??

    Ooh, since I'm actually not too put off by the strawberry and vanilla shakes I might just stick with them! I know what you mean about feeling awash with water and shakes though - I feel like a weeble at the moment I feel so bloated with all the water I have consumed today!!
  149. J

    Here we go!! Eeek

    Hi Daisy, Welcome to the forum. I started Lipotrim today. I feel a bit bloated as I have drunk a serious amount of water today (I had got myself up to 2l a day over the past month but did 3.5 today and feel like a weeble!! :silly:) I haven't felt anything today but have stocked up on Nurofen...

    My first day today and I was pleasantly surprised with the shakes. I thought they tasted quite malty (like the insides of maltesers - or me going a bit nuts! :p ). The vanilla one especially I thought tasted a bit like Horlicks so I might leave my dinner shake a bit later tomorrow and have it...

    uh oh I slipped and am now struggling

    Hi Julie, Like Henpom, my phamacist wouldn't let me start LT until after the new year too so I think you have been really brave and done so well. You've eaten (and hopefully enjoyed it), now just get back to the diet - you've done it once so you know you can do it again! :) Don't feel...
  159. J

    How long can you stay on Lipotrim

    Ooh good - thanks! :) I'll bring it up with the pharmacist on Wednesday but it sounds silly now anyway! Oops! :rolleyes:

    About to start lipotrim....

    Happy new year to you too! :) I have a new years day party every year for all the family and it is our first one in this house so I didn't fancy doing it on the shakes (not to mention the hassle I would get from everyone else!) Hope you all have a lovely new year and look forward to sharing...

    How long can you stay on Lipotrim

    The more I have tried to find the answer to this question, the more confused I have got! :confused: A few websites say no more than 4 weeks but 4 weeks isn't going to enable me to achieve the losses required - probably much nearer 7 to 8 months is needed. :eek: Is it safe to be on a total...

    Well, I doubt I'll be getting to 4l but I'll just keep an eye on it when it's warmer as I have got up to 2l quite quickly! I'm amazed by how much thirstier I feel now when I used to drink very little during the day before. I must go for a wee every hour on the hour though!!! :o
