Just started refeed and noticed that day 3 introduces potatoes...I'm not a fussy eater but I have a weird thing with potatoes and really really can't force myself to eat them. It says you're not allowed any bread/rice/pasta till day 4...anyone got any ideas for alternative to potato that's not...

Your water balance will be all over at this stage, you're safest just waiting for the official weigh in. Don't worry, you'll definitely have lost! My weight on my home scales alway has a few static days and is always wrong lol, I only can trust the pharmacist's ones! Good luck x

Congratulations! That's a brilliant loss for only 6 weeks. Hope you have an awesome wedding and honeymoon, you deserve a brilliant time after being so good for 6 weeks x

4th weigh in today, lost another 2lbs. Was expecting a big loss cause I only lost 2lbs last week. Anyone else had a slow stage like this? Or maybe my losses are just steadying to 2lbs a week only :/

Don't give up! The hard part will be over really soon and you'll breeze through from then on. Drinking loads of water helps, sparkling water especially fills you up. Distract yourself too - go for a short walk/ read a book/ watch rubbish on tv...just keep away from the kitchen! x

p.s. tip for anyone facing a night out without alchol...dance like a complete crazy person all night and you won't think about drink lol! worked for me!

Good way of putting it Jessie! Also noticed how much you've lost, nice one! If you've been doing it 6 months and you obviously aren't having any muscle problems then it just shows that lipotrim really works. x

Lol I was never good at french but I think i know what ya mean! Good luck this week...maybe your fingers will shrink more and you'll get 3 sparkly rings out of it lol!!

Thanks guys! Good luck for your weigh in ally, I'm sure you'll be pleased and it's great that you have something to work towards, your fiancee coming home! I'm saving up to do some more clothes shopping once I lose the weight...that's the goal! x

That's brilliant to hear. Glad to hear you're still losing cause I know lots of us probably worry we'll gain in refeed! Have you found it easy to stick to or are you tempted by bad foods now that you can eat again? x

Oops didn't realise there was a spelling diff between male and female soz! Yeah you're right, nice to have the ring on your finger, that's plenty of commitment! x

Like people have said, if it wasn't safe or effective it wouldn't be available, especially not at a pharmacy. Programs like this have to undergo loads of approvals and tests, and the fact that lipotrim has been around for so long obviously means it's passed them all. As regards muscle wastage...

Well done! You obvs aren't going to lose 10lbs every week but it'll stabilise at a good steady loss of about 3-4lbs after a few weeks x

Well done for getting through the first week, what a great loss! Keep it up! x

Hey just thought I'd share the past couple of really good days I've had, and hopefully show the newbies that if you stick at it you'll be fine as well! So on friday I went shopping and I've gone down nearly 2 sizes in just short of 4 weeks! Size 10 skinny jeans babaaay! Then yesterday I was at...

Go for it and good luck! In the first week I came on here constantly and lay around being lazy while I got used the the diet, just be good to yourself and distract yourself from food and you'll be great x

That never occurred to me about jewellery actually! Your poor fiance having to fork out for another one lol. Have you a date set or anything yet? x

Day 3 was my toughest day but I can barely remember it now as it's been fine since then. I lay around feeling sorry for myself in the early days lol, I suggest you do the same! Lie around in bed, watch TV, have a nice bath etc. Bet you'll be on here in not too long raving about how good you feel! x

Week 4 here and still feeling good! It really does fly in after the first week, welcome to the easy part lesley! x

Yeah, what the others said, don't do it!! The cravings will pass, just try to distract yourself. Having a meal could put you back to square 1. x

Aw good on ya! I used to cook for me and gf all the time but I dunno if I could face it just yet! :/ x

Beat the s**t out of it with the whisk. It won't be moussey but it's edible x

They're not really airy like a mousse, it's more of a pudding kind of texture but not runny. Worth a try, they're nice sometimes for a change x

Awesome! I didn't really believe all that stuff about your palate changing but my friend who's come off lipotrim recently said she couldn't even stomach a forkful of her oh's chinese...I hope this happens to me too lol! x

Hey missfatpants, my week 2 was like that, the scales didn't budge for 4 days and I was really pissed off lol! But at weigh in I lost 4lbs. I think it's just your water balance and stuff like that, it'll show up eventually! Good luck x

I've tried the choc and vanilla as a mousse and they're quite nice, but I prefer them all as shakes. I'm in week 4 and not bored of the shakes yet, they're best with plenty of ice. Good luck in your first week! The first few days are hard but stay strong and come on here for support. After that...

I drank loads of fizzy water in the first week - it definitely helps. Even now when I'm feeling hungry/greedy it takes the edge off. Good shout!

Cold peppermint tea. Ice and sweetners. Dooooo it!! I've been lying out sunbathing (lol, sunbathing in Belfast :P) and sipping on this, super refreshing!

Yeah it's 240. 450 is for men - I accidentally did this in the first couple of days lol, dunno how I actually drank those watery shakes, what an idiot!! x

Same here. My bmi is about 26 but I look overweight - bmi is really not accurate at all tbh, it depends on your shape and everything. And I hear ya about the socialising!! It's ridiculous how many parties etc I've had to avoid :(. When I come off this I'm buying a loaad of clothes and partying...

Hey. I'm a med student and have stacks of reading to do over the summer, haven't had any problems with concentration so far and I'm nearly finished my third week. Go for it, and good luck! x

Good luck! x

Lol, we'll all be waiting for it! ;)

I'd also like to know the answer to this (though it's probably not allowed - nothing is lol!) My gf is coming home from holiday in a few days and I'm worried I'll scare her off with my stinky breath even with all the mouthwash and stuff. Anyone else's OH noticed it much? x

Nice one, well done! x

Wow - I can see such a big difference just in your face! I'm sure you can notice it all over as well. Good stuff Nathan! x

Well one to the both of you - the hardest part is over woop! x

Vanilla mousse is nice I think, but quite sickening. It tastes like cake batter that you lick off the spoon when you're baking!

Well done so far PJC! I'd say 21lbs is do-able in 5 weeks, 4lb a week roughly so you're on track. And even if you don't quite make that amount, you'll be a lot trimmer by the holiday. Good luck! x

Mostly on my tummy! I swear I look pregnant! No big boobs tho which just makes it look weirder :(

Well done! Once you're in ketosis you won't even be tempted by the kids' food, I promise! My pharmacist said the soup was horrible and gave me some to try on the first week but said I could come in and change it if I didn't like it. She kept going on about how disgusting it was but I really like...

Awesome, well done! You're through the worst of it now, it's onwards and downwards from here :) x

My feet are freezing!! I don't know if I'm right but I put it down to losing fat and therefore losing some of my insulation - so I can tolerate the cold if I think of it as my body adjusting to being skinnier lol! Sorry to hear about the hair loss Minnie - how bad is it? I've heard it def grows...

Yep as others said, no chewing gum allowed. For fresh breath though the recommended listerine is fab - blows your socks off it's so strong! And we def should all be proud. This is a huge lifestyle change. For me the hardest part was the first few days so getting into ketosis was a major...

Hey, the same thing happened to me as far as the breath goes. I didn't ask anything cos I thought I was just being paranoid. But yeah my breath was ok for a few days and then went back to being bad. Atm it's ok again. It might be something to do with drinking water as the poster above said, but...

Loving the quotes guys! Thought I'd share my motivation, if anything just to remind myself why I'm doing this: I'm 20 and still have my whole life ahead of me, don't want to start it off unhealthy and unhappy when this is supposed to be my prime! I'm also a medical student so I'm surrounded by...

Pink is ketosis nomatter what. I'd say your water intake would affect it too since the more water you drink, the more dilute the ketones will be in your urine. The ketostix I've seen only have one little square on the stick but if you're saying there's lots of colours on the stick maybe you have...

There's nothing you can do about it now, just count it as a minor mistake (it shouldn't affect ketosis anyway). I'm sure you'll still have a good loss and be looking great for the wedding. Good luck x

Well done! Hope refeed goes well - I'm sure if you stick to healthy eating you won't put on weight, in fact you might keep losing! I'll see you back in the 100% forum on aug 2nd then, have a great holiday! x

Nice!! That's nearly a stone and a half in 3 weeks...go you! x

Well done! Here's to another good week :) x

Funny that, I was hungry on day 6 too out of the blue. It'll pass! Keep drinking the water, distract yourself with the telly/good book/ pampering and you're right to come on here for a moan - that's what it's for! Chin up and good luck x Ps Good on ya for going to the gym in the first week! I...

Well done everyone! All very impressive losses, I doubt there's many other diets will make you lose that much! I'm in week 3 and going to start some exercising this week, because suddenly I have bags of energy whereas in weeks 1 and 2 I was tired all the time. Hopefully it'll help keep me toned...

Welcome back Minnie. That's pretty good going, only putting on 2lbs, you'll have it off in no time. Just remember, all you have to do is drink that water and suffer the first few days and then it's ketosis babaaay! Good luck x

Lol Candyloss, you're right! I usually think that everything's more expensive down south but it's strange for me to be paying nearly £10 more in northern ireland. But I'm a student and would usually have to do all my shopping for one, so if I think of how much I'd spend on groceries, meals out...

Hi Candyloss. I'm the same as you, just eating crap for no reason and this diet is my way of breaking the viscious cycle. Food can be an addiction but unfortunately we have to face it every day which is totally different to how you'd manage any other addiction. This is the main reason I'm doing...

I really like the soup. Like others have said my pharmacist told me it was horrible! But i think it tastes like cuppa soup. Nice to have something warm and savoury.

I'm in N. Ireland and paying £44 per week for 21 sachets. Not fair! Maybe it's something to do with shipping costs, other irish people?? x

14lbs in 2 weeks ... and much more to come i'm sure! x

Well done! It was my second weigh in too, I lost 4lbs. If you think about it, you would never lose that much on any other diet. 5lbs is a great loss and the weight will keep dropping off you. Keep it up x

Wow that came around pretty fast, 2nd week flew! Anyways I lost 4lbs! So happy because on my scales I hadn't lost anything in the first 4 days. Here's to another week LT-ers!

Good luck to the both of you! The first week is the hardest but stick with it and you'll see the rewards on the scales :).

Lmao! I'll sure you'll be fine hun, but thanks for the laugh!!

I sip it slowly to make it last longer. Except recently I've just been gulping it down if I'm in a rush, cos I'm not hungry anyway so it doesn't really matter to me!

Hi gemsywemsy! The worst is over, it'll get better from here on. I was a bit dizzy towards the end of the first week but it passes, just take it easy and don't do anything to tiring. Good luck in your weigh in! x

Thanks for all the support guys - I'll have to just not jump the gun and wait til the end of the week to see what happens. Shrinky2dinky that is really interesting, never heard anything about that before. I wonder how long that effect can last for?

At the start I had read the instructions on the bag wrong and was making mine up with 450mls for a couple of days, I still lost plenty of weight in the first week! It's fine but just factor the extra amount of water used in and make sure it doesn't put you over the 4L daily maximum of extra water x

Hi all, I'm on day 4 of week 2 today and checked my weight this morning. I haven't lost a single pound yet!? Last week I was dropping 1-2lbs a day and I know this week should be slower but I'm really shocked that it's nothing at all! I have been 100% and can't think of any small/ accidental...

Unfortunately the bad breath is a side effect of the diet for us all :( although it's not as bad for me as it was in the first week. I use listerine freshburst (the green one). It's pretty strong and does the trick, my pharmacist recommended it. x

I lost 10lbs!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

Hey guys, I'm just finishing week one now, weigh in tomorrow :). Was thinking of starting to do some exercise and was wondering how much you can tolerate? If you exercised before lipotrim, can you do the same routines as before? I'm afraid of going to the gym and passing out from tiredness after...

I love this.

I like green tea with a couple of sweetners in it. It's a natural appetite suppressant do it's especially good in the first few days to keep the hunger at bay! Also drink peppermint tea and the kinds of black tea that you're not supposed to put milk in as they taste ok on their own, like...

Well done Nathan!!! That is a massive weight loss, and I'm sure there'll be plenty more where that came from! Good luck this week :) x

Samesies :(.

Haha I've been sneaking on the scales too :P. It's an incentive to keep going even if it ruins the surprise! Got really full there half way through my chicken soup - think the hunger is starting to go away woop!

Heya, day 3 for me too. Still hungry but keep drinking your water esp sparkling water, it helps loads! Not as hungry as yesterday though as you say, hopefully it's all downhill from here. Good luck! x

Hi Nathan, well done so far! I'm on day 3 today so I'm only a couple of days behind you. How are you getting on? Excited for weigh in?

Hey, it's going ok for me too...not too hungry, it's just the tiredness for me too. You can't have tonic water but you can have plain carbonated water. Ooh I haven't tried hot choc yet myself so let me know if it's nice or not!

Good luck! I'm on day 3, and I can say that it gets easier with time. Keep drinking that water! Keep me posted how you're getting on if you like x

I've found that if you put the powder in first and then add the hot water very slowly it works. Add a little bit of water and whisk into a kind of paste and then add more and more and keep whisking. Takes a bit longer but if you do it gradually it's not lumpy. All the best x

Yeah when my tummy rumbles I'm like, that's my fat burning off!! I think you could stick to it when your sister comes and still have a good time...eating without refeeding first probably isn't the best idea, try to keep strong. Maybe she could order food in or something and you could have a...

Hey, I'm on my third day and have noticed some tiredness too. We should hit ketosis any day, keep strong and it'll pass. Have you tried adding coffee to the shakes? I made like a vanilla lattee with a shake yesterday and like a mocha today with the chocolate shake, it perks me up anyway. How are...

Hey Osprey! I'm also on day 2, start weight 10st 12lbs and goal is 9st....we were made to be lipotrim buddies lol!!! My pharmacist suggested having the vanilla shake with coffee so it's all good. Good luck and let us know how you get on! And well done everyone. I feel like it's really working...

Hey Michael, well done on the loss, you must be chuffed! I'm only on day 2 but I've been getting a bit light headed when I stand up but I think it's normal, just your brain adjusting to the different energy source. Keep it up and talk to your pharmacist if you're worried x

Wow well done on the losses guys! Day 2 down for me and I'm finding it ok so far, I'm hungry but I'm battling through it, hopefully the ketosis kicks in soon and stops the rumbly tummy :S. Drinking sparkling water to fill me up with bubbles lol! Clair-louise I'm definitely keeping focus on the...

From what I understand about physiology I don't really see how it could send you into shock...if anything it would speed up the fat loss! Let us know what the pharmacist says, I also want to exercise to keep toned as I lose the weight. x

On day 2 and feeling a bit hungry but optimistic! That's great, you'll be shopping for loads of new clothes soon! Can't wait till I go down a size! x

Made me giggle! :P The nail painting is a good idea too, I think we definitely deserve a bit of pampering when we're being so good with the diet! x

I'm only on day 1 but I agree, distraction is the key! Going to watch embarrassing bodies tonight to put me off eating haha!

Awh well at least you can come on here for support, and just keep thinking of how great you'll look! And thanks for the info! x

Thanks emerald, I'm actually only on day 1 even though I went for my appointment last week. It's going ok so far, I'm not too hungry yet. Well done on your 8lb loss! I'd be delighted if I lost that much! How is it once you get the first week over with?

You just retain fluid so it'll show up next week! Just a bit less motivation to keep going I guess. I'm in week 1 but when I got weighed it was t.o.t.m. so I'm hoping it'll show up as a sneaky big loss next week lol!

Hey guys! Hope you don't mind me butting in, I just started today and stumbled across your thread. The shakes are actually quite nice, I'm surprised, but I'll prob be hungry later on. Your weight losses are all awesome! Well done! After the first week, how are you coping with hunger/ cravings?
