Looking Good Chuck Hope to have new pictures once I've completed my journey.

Don't Try The Flap Jack!! Hey Lucy I'm on day 12. I actually like the shakes as they aren't too sweet. Try the chicken soup if you prefer savoury. No one I know likes the flap jacks. I've mixed all of my shakes with different flavours to experiment. chocolate with coffee, chocolate with...

Stretch Marks Saggy Skin Nothing much you can do to remove stretch marks. Saggy skin, drink plenty of water during weight loss to keep skins elasticity. But if you lose a lot of weight that's been with you for a while, saggy skin might be the result. If it's loads you might want to...

LT Maintenance Do the two meal replacements. The one meal you eat keep to low fat high protein foods like fish with loads of green vegetables for fibre. Should still lose weight eating like this! Don't overdo it with fruit as although they are healthy contain lots of natural sugar which can...

Weigh Ins Let her know that you are using the scales at boots as there is a variance between hers and theirs. I like the boots scales as they measure body fat composition. So if you're using boots scales make sure you measure body fat so you can distinguish whether your weight loss is...

Weigh Ins Your paying for a service you're not getting. Look for another pharmacist or challenge the one you're using to be more professional in their approach. Can you report their poor performance to Lipotrim?

Size Matters With your current diet and workout, don't be disappointed if you haven't lost any weight, you will probably be losing fat and gaining muscle. Muscle is small and dense, whereas fat is large and fluffy. So a pound of fat will take up more space than a pound of muscle. You might...

Great News Every pound counts and its all probably fat so celebrate it!

Brilliant Weight Loss 12lbs that's amazing! I lost 8lbs in my first week. Have my second weigh in on Monday morning!!

Sounds very naughty but very nice. Hope it was worth it? Make sure no one else needs the toilet.

Only Leaf Teas I drink peppermint tea. Is camomile tea from the leaf or the flower? If its from the flower then no.

I tried sparkling water last Saturday for the first time in my life, and was actually surprised that I liked it. Don't know if my mind was playing tricks on me or if it was the copper taste in my mouth but began to think it had a flavour?

Know How You Feel Everything seems appealing to me, fruits vegetables. Weekends are hardest for me cause everyone is eating together and expect me to eat with them. Even more difficult as family doesn't know I'm doing it as they don't approve of these diets.:sigh:

Maybe the taste of copper in your mouth makes the flap jacks taste nice?:)

Virtual Gastric Band Virtual Gastric Band, is a gastric band put on via hypnotherapy. It worked for my friend, but didn't for me. To put it on you have to go for a series of hypnotherapy sessions and do some pre-op work. Christi69

Lipotrim Side Effects Weight loss oh yeah and did I mention weight loss?

Ketosis Not sure what the principles of your diet are. But sure signs of Ketosis is metalic taste in mouth and lack of hunger. I have read that protein can be converted to carbs, not sure how true this is, but if it is and you're having lots then maybe your body wont go into ketosis (fat...

You're leaving I've Just Arrived Hope to have the same amazing result as you. Hope your health improves!

Reward Yourself I reward myself by buying something nice, even though I know it might not fit for long. Knowing this motivates me even more knowing that in a few weeks it will be too big! Isn't this great!!!:)

Copper Taste End of the day stuck with my programme and mouth is tasting like copper. Stomach feels as if its being sucked in but not hungry. Think my body is getting used to not being overloaded!!

Do I Want To Eat? I've found on the Lipotrim programme that I miss the sensation of putting food into my mouth. Tell myself that I'm not hungry just a mind thing.:eek:

How's The Refeed Going? Just wanted to know how you're doing on the refeed? Read you can still lose weight even on refeed? I'm still on TFR but feel nervous about going on refeed as I might go crazy!! Christi69!:)

Doesn't It Feel Great! Keep it up. It's amazing

Glad Your Sticking With It I'm not far off day 14, but I mix decaf coffee in my vanilla shake to make a coffee flavoured shake. Decaf coffee in my chocolate to make a mocha and peppermint tea in my chocolate shake to make chocomint flavoured shake. Variety makes it really interesting. I've...

I would suggest that you start with 2g mixed in water as it swells up really quickly. Drink it immediately as it does become like wall paper paste the longer you leave it. If you can tolerate 2g increase until you can't tolerate any longer. Hope this helps

Keep It Up Stick to it the diet seems quite alright. Going to check it out and see how different it is to Lipotrim.

VLCD Do Work VLCD do work initially, but keeping it off is upto you. Losing a lot of weight isn't a license to pig out once you've reached your goal. Prescribe VLCD are safe as they are nutritionally balanced will all your body's requirements. Once you reach your goal continue to eat...

Hypnotherapy Not For Me! I spent £400 on Hypnotherapy and kept falling asleep! Most expensive nap I've ever had!!! Worked for a friend of mine. Wouldn't encourage anyone to part with vast sums of money without a money back guarantee!! Christi69:mad:

Know How You Feel! I too had that strange taste in mouth. Tasted like I brushed my teeth too hard and had bleeding gums. Even checked in the mirror to see if I had! I hadn't lol:) Christi69!

Thanks for the info Lucy. I drink a lot of water, but actually overdid it on the first week in excess of 4ltrs. Now drinking more sensibly. Christi69:)

Stick To It! Stay focussed on your 4 weeks, don't allow anything into your mouth apart from meal replacements. You might want to make yourself a countdown calendar to make it easier! Wish I could do what I want in 4 weeks! Will check on your progress.:cool: Christi69

On the road with lipotrim Hey Pearl, Just reading some of your posts. I'm on the road Monday to Friday and actually find it easier doing lipotrim away from home. I just take a shaker with me and a bottle of water. You can buy a shaker from any health food shop. I love the shakes...

How's It Going? I started Lipotrim two weeks ago, I have good days and bad days. If you don't like the flap jacks take them back and swap them. I just use the shakes, but to give me new flavours I combine them with my allowable drinks. Try combining coffee and sweetner with the vanilla or...

Keep It Up! I can't believe you have lost soo much weight it's amazing! Don't be disheartened if your weight loss does slow down, by now it's all fat and every pound makes a difference. I'm just finishing week two of Lipotrim and have cheated twice, so if you're on week 6 I take my hat off...

Don't give up - you owe it to yourself!! :cry:Hey Claire sorry to hear that you've hit a plateau. This happens sometimes. Our bodies are very clever, try doing some different kinds of exercise, combine cardio with resistance training. You might have gained 3lbs this could be water weight...
