I'm doing a photography course with some friends and we've decided to go to Blackpool to get some pictures. Could bore you but I won't. Anyway, we've decided to stay over so I'm off to the chemists for some flapjacks. Never had them before, even on my previous 8 week TFR stint. Hope...

I know, but I've been going for months now and I don't want to get out of the habit. I'll stop when I fall over :D

Lenny, I'm a bloke and the girls in work gave me terrible stick for going on this diet. Four of them are on it now. It works, it's safe.

Well it's Thursday lunchtime and I've just had a chocolate shake. Chocolate is probably my least favourite so I tend to get them out of the way. Waiting for ketosis to kick and and give me my energy boost. Shouldn't be long now as I've been 100% since Monday. I've been to the gym every night...

I've been off TFR for six months now and not gained. Only back on TFR now as "phase 2". Hopefully in 4 to 5 weeks I'll be below a BMI of 25 and will finish with it for good. Eat like you used to and you will put weight on, eat as you should and you will be fine. Simple as that really.

Cherrygem, well done on starting all of this. I left it until I was 51, I wish I had the sense to do something when I was younger. Your whole life is ahead of you. Seize the moment.

Hi All, Did lipotrim for 8 weeks from Feb to April this year and lost 4 stone (18st 12lb to 14st 12lb). The plan always was to stop in April for the holiday period as I do like my holidays and to start again six months later. Well six months have elapsed and even after eating like a pig most of...

Tom, stick with it. I lost four stone in eight weeks. I was lucky in that I never felt hungry at all. Ketosis should kick in soon and that really should take away all of your hunger pangs and make you feel better. As I stay, stick with it, it's worth it. I've restarted today, I'm lucky in that...

Just a bit of an update. Finished lipotrim on 11 April weighing 14st 12lb, exactly 4st less than my start weight in exactly 8 weeks. Now 14 stone. A truly life changing experience for me.

Just a bit of an update. Finished lipotrim on 11April wieghing 14st 12lb, exactly 4st less than my start weight. Now 14stone. A truly life changing experience for me.

Well done. I started refeed yesterday. You'll love it.

Thanks everybody. The best wishes of people who know what I had to do to lose this weight mean a lot to me. I will not put any weight back on, in fact the four stone is just the beginning. I intend to lose two more stone, hopefully by sensible eating but if not I know that I will always have...

OK, no salt from now on.

Constant toilet visits - think yourself lucky! I needed nitroglycerine to get me moving :D

Started refeed today. Can't wait to get home and have my dinner, I've got it all planned. Chicken bathing nicely in a marinade of balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Barbeque ready to be lit. Plain salad of lettuce of lettuce, onion and peppers. I may even barbeque the onion...

Well done, a great start. Just look on the keys etc as a bonus for next week.

Thanks. Just dusting off the George Foreman.

Thanks. Just having a diet coke break. :D

Well I've done it. 7lb this week, that's exactly 4 stone in total in eight weeks. Target reached. Start refeed today.

oh ye of little faith. There will be no holiday gain :D

Thanks for all your comments. The thing is, it's been so easy. I haven't minded not eating at all. 5lb to go to my first target. I'm going on holiday on the 22nd April to 2nd May so anything lower would be completely unrealistic. I go on a cruise on 10th June for 2 weeks so I haven't...

Grills fine. Lob the spices on. There's a good refeed thread here: http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-refeeding/24170-refeeding-after-lipotrim-total-food-replacement-without-excessive-weight-regain.html Good luck. I'm starting refeed soon, keep us all updated.

Well, it's decision time now. I go on holiday on 22nd April. If things go to plan I will have reached my target by next weigh, Monday 11th. Shall I start my refeed then or carry in until my target date, 15th. So long refeed or a couple of extra pounds lost! What would you do?

Great stuff Chuck. Well done.

Hi Poppyseed, I've not done that myself but I have considered it and read up as much as I can. You're doing it the right way, refeeding for a week before weekend. When you're away don't worry too much about the carbs - it's inevitable that you will eat some and you will have eaten carbs and...

Nobody's perfect, just get back on track and you'll be fine.

5lb lost, I've now lost 49 lb (3st 7lb) in seven weeks. Can't smile wide enough :D

Just off for week seven weigh in. If you read this before I get back wish me luck.

I'll look out for your weigh in results on Wednesday, good luck.

Thanks Rosary, I'll keep going until I get there, don't worry about that.

Honk, day 43 100%. Was gonna say "big fat honk", but not so big and fat now :)

Thanks Vanilly. Keep us up to date with your progress. Mind you there's not much of you to start with, you lucky thing.

Thanks Chuck (great username). Don't worry, I won't pack in. I'm a stubborn little bugger when I get going. Well done yourself by the way, keep it up.

Hiya Zorba, hope your still at it. Hang on in there - it will be worth it. I've lost 3st 2lb in six weeks - lightest I've been now for over 20 years. Bonus - I save a fortune on beer.

Congratulations. Fantastic achievement. You should be very proud.

4lb. Disappointing really, the least I have lost so far, and not a morsel has passed my lips since 13th Feb. Mind you, 44lb in total and in the overweight BMI range instead of obese for the first time in maybe 20 years. Target to lose 10 more pounds by 15th April. I thought that would be easy...

Hurray, just updated my ticker and my bmi is now below 30. I'm only overweight now :).

4lb today. Disappointed. 44lb in total so can't really complain. Oh, and first bike ride into work today. I was f****d. Didn't realise how hilly it was.

As you can see from my ticker 40lb lost now, in my final "stone" to reach my first target. Bought a bike to ride to work each day - 14 mile round trip. Should be a doddle. :p

Latest weigh in today, another 6lb lost. Why am I posting this? Nobody reads it. Unless you know better!!

Haven't been here for a while. After 4 weeks 2st 6lb loss. More than happy. Hoping to get to 15stone or less before my holidays so need to lose another 1st 6lb in 4 weeks.

Hi Ireland, Six weeks should easily do it (fingers crossed). Five litres may be a bit much - 4 is the recommended maximum (I think). Good luck. My second weigh in this morning, another 7lb gone.

Well done, you healthy thing you :jelous:

Kerry, the weight that you've lost we will be coming to you for support not the other way round. Welcome.

Thrilled. Just been doing some calculations. If I lose 5lb a week from now until 18th April (easy :cool:) I'll have reached my target weight before my holiday. How good is that?

14lb loss. Pharmacist said that was the biggest she'd had (all the girls say that :eek:).

14lb. :eek: Well pleased.

Good luck Paddy.

First weigh in tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Been 100% and feel good, hoping for 10lb plus.

I have the soup of an evening, feels like a meal being hot. Weigh in tomorrow, been 100% all week with no problems really, haven't been close to "cheating". Even the family eating their Sunday dinner in front of me didn't make me flinch, and my wife makes the best roast potatoes in the world...

I'll give a honk. First week over. 100% all week. Weigh in tomorrow.

Benny, Just looking at your weight loss, well done. Did you do anything differently on weeks 4 and 5?

Thanks Molly

I'm going this evening with my wife and some friends. Trvrls, popcorn and fizzy drinks for them. Water for me. I could always go mad and put some fibreclear in it. :D

Forgive my ignorance, what is GL?

This thread has thrown my plans out if kilter. I only started TFR on Monday 14th Feb, less than a week ago. I am going on holiday on 22nd april until 2nd May, 10th Jun for two weeks and 3rd September for two weeks. I had it in my mind that I would do TFR until about a week before each holiday...

Weigh in day Monday, 1st weigh in next Monday (21st Feb).

Not tried the flapjacks yet - not allowed. Really, really looking forward to them :rolleyes:

Thanks Claire, BMI down 1.5 in a week, well done. Whoever decided to call this dishwater chicken soup has a hell of a sense of humour. Ah well, needs must and all that.

Everything going ok so far, on 4th day. Had a breakfast meeting this morning in St Helens followed by another meeting in Liverpool where lunch looked fantastic. Water and black coffee all the way :D I'm gonna do this.

Well, day 2 and night 2 over. No problems so far. Belt already one notch in :eek:

First HONK for yesterday. Hopefully the first of many.

Thanks for your messages. First day was easy peasy. I suppose the real battle is in the next few days from what I read. Took the bull by the horns and went to the pub last night to watch the football. Left at the end having consumed two pints of (free) water. Satisfying and cheap all at the...

Hi, great thread. Started Lipotrim today, weighed in at 18st 12lb. Had one shake, strawberry and it wasn't too bad. Will keep you informed of progress.

Just had my first shake - strawberry - it wasn't too bad. I can live with this.

Thanks Cate. If I do as well as you I may just about be in the 17s next week :eek: 19lb in two weeks is great, keep it up.

Mistakenly posted a diary in a general forum, hopefully it's ok to post it again here. Started lipotirm today (haven't even taken my first shake yet). Somehow I've managed to get myself to 18st 12lbs. Set myself immediate goal of getting into the 17's with a secondary goal of 15st...

Back. First the bad news, 18st 12lbs (bloody hell, where did all that come from?), BMI of 37. Now the good news, a lot of that is going to go. Stay tuned in for regular updates.

Well, just about to go to the Pharmacy to start the Lipotrim adventure. Been reading this forum for a while and I must say I have been encouraged by many of the stories. Some great before and after photos. Maybe one day I'll post mine. Wish me luck.
