It's 4lbs

Hi all! Sorry for not posting more often but be rest assured I have been keeping a close eye on here! ;) Some great losses to be had here, well done everyone! And welcome to all the newbies, keep checking in here, it's a lifesaver! Myself? Well I'm on week 5 - no cheats so far! Yay...

Awww Aaron, I'm sure you'll be fine and you'll have 20-20 vision to check out all those hotties eying you up! ;) Guys, I wouldn't be overly concerned - from what I remember I recall that in most cases it's reversible once a person starts eating a "normal" diet again and starts consuming fat...

I've heard of this happening before with people doing TFR or those who lose a lot of weight in a short space of time. Apparently what happens is when you lose weight you can also lose some "fat" from behind your eyeball and this in turn can alter the shape of your eyeball at the back and...

Hi there and welcome back! Sorry to hear you had such a rough time what with gallstones and then pancreatitis, from what I've read and heard from other people the pain is excruciating, poor you :( Glad to hear you're all bettered and well enough to get back on the LT wagon again :) Gallstones...

Hi Clair! WOW!!!! That's absolutely fantastic!!! Well done you!! You must be feeling and looking great! 25 weeks... that's some achievement girly, major kudos to you! Have you found 25 weeks of TFR tough? Ever get tempted to cheat at all? What has kept you going to get to 25...

Wow, that's amazing! Well done you! 21 weeks completely cheat-free too, that's quite an achievement! You must be so proud of yourself! Congrats!

Hi MissAma, Congrats on your fantastic weightloss! You look great! So sorry to hear you encountered such problems whilst doing CD, I hope all that is in the past for you now though. Do you mind me asking what symptoms you had before your gallbladder started causing you trouble? I...

Hiya! What part of Ireland are you from? Galway girl here! :D I'm curious about this Target Slim, I've never heard of it before. I can't seem to find any info about it on the net, and I've never seen it for sale anywhere. How are you getting on with it so far? Where did you get yours?

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing great! I'm half ways through week 3 now - can't believe it! :D Something that's been on my mind for a while now is wondering what the weight losses are like when comparing Lipotrim to Exante? With Lipotrim you have 3 shakes/bars/soups a day which...

Hi Jax! I'm a restarter too unfortunately (Why oh why did I let myself get back to square 1?!) Once you get back into the swings of things you'll be fine and the fat will just melt away! ;)

Hi Laura! I feel your pain! I'm on my third week now and Ketosis has well and truly paid me a visit as I too struggle with taking 3 in a day, but needs must and all that.. It really is important to get the 3 down as we need the nutrients. Best of luck with it hun!

Hey Cherry Rocks! (Love your name & the shoes!! Gorge!) Yup, I'm doing Exante too, shakes are OK.. I'm resisting using any sweeteners though so I don't affect my weight loss.. so here's hoping! Didn't think I would but I'm loving the soups now, I actually look forward to them! So much nicer...

Well done!! Oooh what kinda puppy are you going to get?

Hi everybody! Nope, I haven't fell off the face of the Earth! I've just been super busy with college and work, been up til 1am most evenings getting coursework done, agh! :( I have however been checking in regular on the forum lurking! ;) I'm pleased to say that I've made it through...

Yes, I noted this too earlier and am hoping this is just a mistake..! Last time I checked the shakes (3 days ago max) there was still like 800+ supplies of the bumper packs available so not sure why it's disappeared now with no warning.. :(

Hi guys! Sorry to drag up an old thread, however just came across this now... I too am in Ireland and was doing Lipotrim, however being a student I was unable to keep up with the E68 per week prices for the shakes. :( I was just wondering what outcome or resolution ever came of all of...

Correction Barbie - Onwards and Downwards ;) Congrats on not throwing in the towel and making it to the second week! :D 3lbs is a great loss! Hope you're happy with it! I got my TOM today, so feeling like crap all day, and yes there were moments where I wanted...

Hi Bronte, So sorry to hear you're struggling this time round :( How many days/weeks are you into the diet now? I can totally relate to being afraid to add a meal in case it leads to overeating etc... I'm on Day 9 now and tbh I've struggled a bit aswell, mainly craving things in the...

Wow, wow, WOW! 15lbs? That's incredible!! You'll be at goal in no time at all at this rate! ;) Well done you! :D

That's brilliant!! How thoughtful of you, and for such a great cause! It's definitely a great incentive to stay on track too! :D I just know you'll do great, hope you get your shakes soon!

Hi everyone! Yay! The dreaded first week is now over with no hiccups or slip-ups thus far! Yes, ok, so there were a few treacherous moments, take-away menu in hand, cue me ooohing and aaahing over what delights I could get, but nope, I stuck to my guns, and I'm now here at day 8. Of...

Ooops, forgot to mention, Re: mints, breath freshener etc... Now I'm not an expert on Exante - tbh I got no booklets or leaflets with my order, just the bare shakes, however, I'd assume it's the same principals as Lipotrim which would mean no mints. Not sure about breath freshener - do you...

Hey Nico! Well having done CD you know what's involved - you'll do great! I love the fact we can buy online, I did Lipotrim before and personally I got nothing at all from the pharmacy - it was a case of hop on the scales, note weight loss, choose shakes, pay and that was it. Didn't get...

Hi everyone! Thanks for replying - good to know that I wasn't just seeing things then! Borntofly, as you said, they're still great value even with the increase in price, I'll definitely be stocking up soon again though!

Yup, you can definitely get into ketosis whilst eating normal food. I did Atkins for a few months a few years back and I was eating great, went out to restaurants regularly, had lovely steaks and creamy sauces, full fat cheeses and lots of yummy foods and I was always in ketosis. You just...

Wow, wow, WOW!!!! :party0019: That's just incredible! You've come so far in less than 12 months. And you've lost all that weight with Xenical? Wowers!!! Congrats girly, you look fab!! I'm a re-starter and re-comer to these forums again, however I came across a few of your posts over...

Having spent a few hours browsing this site in general I've came across a few references to people on VLCD's having had Gallstones, Gallbladder problems and pancreatitis etc... Now I'm planning to be on a VLCD for at least 6 months so hearing the above has me slightly worried. Is there...

Is it just me or have Exante upped the prices of their Bumper Packs? I could've sworn they were around £18/19.95 per week and now they're £22.47 per week. I just checked my invoice from when I last placed my order and each Bumper Pack worked out at £79.92 and they're now £89.88. Is this...

I just got a new Wii the other day (the black one - tres sleek!) and I'm waiting on my Wii Fit Plus and Board to be delivered - after reading the above comments I can't wait to get it and try it out! Not looking forward to seeing my blob of a Mii on it though! :o

Btw, congrats on your impending new arrival! You must be so excited!! :D

I bought mine Early December - most Expiry dates on my packs are August 2010. Would also be interested in hearing what dates are on everyone else's packs as I too would love to make another order and stockpile while the prices are so great!

Hi Barbie! Congrats to making it to day 3! Hopefully once the first week is over for us it will get easier. How are you finding it so far? Good news re: the furry tongue and dry mouth as odd and all as that sounds! lol I'd say you are well on your way into Ketosis! Not sure if you've...

Hi 8 2 Much and welcome! :) I'm a total noob to Exante aswell, just on Day 4 today. Good on you for stocking up while you could, that Xmas offer is brilliant! I'm planning on stocking up some more too before supplies run. Actually, do you mind me asking what dates were on your packs? I'm...

Today in the Big Brother House.. Erm, Day 4 on Exante. :o I think I might just about be getting into Ketosis as this morning I woke up with a slightly metallic taste in my mouth (yuck!) so here's hoping all systems are a go! :D Are sugar-free chewing gum a no-no on this diet? I don't...

Just had a quick look through the nutritional info on some of the shakes, soups and bars and I note that most each contain around 20g of Carbohydrates. Having 3 shakes/soups/bars a day would equate to around 60g of Carbs. I remember when I was doing Atkins that only 20g of Carbs were...

Hey you! Sounds like you had a really good first day! You're starting off well, well done! :D I'm on Day 2 today, had a few near moments where I thought feck it, I'll start again tomorrow but I stuck with it! The main thing is to take each day as it comes. Keep us all posted of...

Hey JHB! Congrats on deciding to start, you won't regret it! :) I'm just on my second day, had a Thai Chicken Soup (Can't say I was a big fan of it, but I have lots of other soups and shakes to try so at least I won't get bored!) There's loads of us starting atm, so it'll be great to...

Hey Rainbow! Thanks so much for the kind words! Bah, social netiquette, schmocial schmetiquette! *hugs back* I'm feeling pretty good today about things - I'll be back in college on Thursday (Agh! So much to do before then!!) and when I'm back I'll be busy during the day so won't be obsessing...

Hey Rainbow Brite (Used to love her back in the day!!!) I'm just shaking up my first shake of the day now too - Vanilla - will report back on what it's like! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you try the Exante shakes - they're much more creamier and thicker than the Lipotrim...

Best of luck everyone! Hi All! :party0038: How many of you are starting today? I started yesterday, and I have to admit I found the latter part of the evening hard - I mean I began reading through old take-away menus and was having an inner argument with myself "Ah, what difference will...

Hi guys! I've just started Exante today; One Shake down so far! I'd love to join you on your January Challenge, however I fear that if I get on the scales and see the figure that it will just dishearten me too much when I see how far I have to go. That and the fact that I'll become...

Hi everyone! First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!! Hope you all had a great Christmas and have an even better 2010! :) I almost feel ashamed coming on here; to give you all a quick introduction, I'm 25 and I'm from Ireland. I've always had a weight problem even as a child. A...

I'm sure I'm not the only one hear who lives in fear of the dreaded excess or loose skin syndrome once I've attained my goal weight. So I was just wondering if anyone could actually point me in the direction of anyone/website where someone has actually lost a substantial amount of weight...

Yuna, well they sent me a letter about it like before Xmas, not sure if they'll still honour it... buuuut.. only one way to find out! I did LT before in Mullins and got on well with them there. I called into the one on Dominck St too and the lady was soooo lovely! I may switch to there! How...

Wow!! That's practically a stone in just 2 weeks! Congrats! You must be over the moon! Keep us posted next week! x

Wow, you look incredible!! What a difference a few months can make! Congrats to you, you must feel like a million dollars! :D You look so toned aswell. Do you mind me asking if you did much exercise throughout, and also, have you suffered any of the dreaded excess skin syndrome? I'm terrified...

Just a quick note: you guys who think you have it bad in the UK; here in Ireland, (Republic) we're paying about £49 a week for the female sachets, the male ones are even more expensive! On saying that though, if I wasn't doing LT, I'd easily spend that on a night out on drink! eeek!

Mini - well I have to confess I have another sneaky reason for changing pharmacys.. I got a letter in the post saying if I did the LT programme with another pharmacy and stuck to it for a month they'd reward me with a 50 euro voucher to spend on a skincare range, soo.... ;) hi Becky! I didn't...

I have a *lot* of leftover Lipotrim sachets left over from the last time I did Lipotrim. The "Best Before" is for about October 07 I think. Would it still be ok to use these or will all the nutritional content be depleted by now? I really don't want to have to bin them as I have bout 120 Euro...

When I first lost weight on LT the first things to shrink were my boobs! Seriously, not my ass, tum, thighs, arms, oh no, it had to be the boobs! lol I was about a D starting, the deflated to about a B. I'm back up to a D again now - poss double D, hope they don't shrink as much as last time!

Hi guys! Thanks so much for the encouragement ladies! RussianDoll, congrats on your success on CD so far! Yuna, do i know you??? lol I still haven't made it back to the pharmacy, still doing my own thang at home as I have lots of shakes left over, so I might wait to use all them up before I...

Yep ladies, it's on again right now for those of you who missed it - it's well worth the watch!

Cool, I'll have to try that sometime then! :) I have to admit though, whenever I made Vanilla "lattes" I always felt as though I was cheating by adding the coffee and sweetener, so i used to save them for treats. Damned tasty though!

True, so very true. The thing that gets to me though is that, from my personal experience anyhow, it's young "skinny minnies" who do the Lipotrim programme and weigh you etc, not even slightly overweight people, or someone who has battled with their weight in the past and overcame it. Maybe...

Hi Amanda! I have a confession to make.. I've been a bit naughty and haven't eaten anything (Lipotrim shakes or otherwise) I think I have a about a week or 10 days worth of Lipotrim shakes in the house somewhere, so I'm planning on using those up before I go back to the pharmacy - I'm...

Mmmm, peppermint chocolate sounds yummy! Is it 100% above board to use peppermint tea though? I want to ensure I don't make any silly mistakes to sabotage my success!

Did anyone else watch Jamie Olivers - Eat To Save Your Life on C4 at 10pm this evening? Ok, so I know that we all know the old phrase "you are what you eat" and we're all well aware of what we eat and how that can affect our bodies, but Christ, thanks to walking, talking living corpse, the ever...

Hi Guys! Ok where to start... Right,well I'm 24 and from Ireland. I'm not new to Lipotrim, I'll outline all below :) well i've always been overweight since a child and went to dieticians, nutritionists, did the whole WW thing etc.. nothing ever worked, except that is for Atkins. When I...
