Hi guys, thanks for all the info.. Lanarkwitch - I didn't know for sure but def felt like I was in ketosis, if i was ive def knocked myself out of it, could tell today.. bugger!! haha mind is on it now though, i wrote down what I ate and how awful I felt after so that if I get the urge again I...

VERY! Unless you want to knock someone out with your breath!!!

ha ha.. you must be!! I cant comment, just going on what i've heard from people on here n thought i'd better steer clear!

How are you doing on your first day, finding the shakes ok? Well this weekend was my 1st on the diet and it was difficult deciding what to do as i'm either out on the tiles or sitting in with friends, a dvd and takeaway on fri and sat nights.. So instead went to a friends, watched a dvd and...

Thank you :) it's like a sudden wave of craziness.. because now I feel totally strong again and totally stupid for what I just did! I think my mind is beginning to play tricks on me!! Arrgh! Do you think it will have kicked me out of ketosis? Can't bear the thought of ruining it al for a handful...

I've also just been looking at the dukan and atkins forums and wondering why im not doing that and eating all those lovely things?!!

EEEEK! What is happening!???? On day 3 and felt great and in control so far.. Until about an hour ago when I opened a drawer and found some haribo tangfastics... ate about 8 After that I couldn't stop thinking cheese... random! So went in the fridge and ate a slither!! Have I ruined...

Haha I know I know! I don't even take sugar usually so it was stupid! But it just didn't look enough.. Learnt my lesson :)

Well, I tried the sweetener today with my least fave - strawberry! Crushed them (2) between 2 tsp as instructed :) and it didn't look like much at all, so stupidly added 2 more! Was far too sweet, but much better and tasted much more like a milkshake!! So thanks for that and I will def be...

Well i've tried the coffee with the choc and it was yummy!! I put about 3 tbsp of coffee in, tastes lovely (think it must practically erase the taste of LP) and keeps me going! I'm def going to get some vanilla next week and give it a try!

ha ha i've just this sec posted asking for your guys expertise as to whether i'm in ketosis or not.. guess i must be :) woohoo!

:confused: Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows how to tell if you are in ketosis or not without testing strips. I'm on day 3 and so far have had no headache, dizziness, hunger.. infact I feel great! I've definitely got the 'breath' and very dry mouth, am running for a wee every...

Sorry to hear you're not feeling great, hope your headache clears up soon. I admire your will power, there is absolutely no way I could cook a yummy sunday dinner without eating it!!! I'm on day 3, i've not yet felt tired, achy, headaches, hunger, dizzy or faint... infact I feel really good. I...

Just think.. Just picking on the smallest amount, even one chip and a bit of pizza is enough to knock you out of ketosis.. it's totally not worth ruining all your hard work. We all have blips but glad you're feeling more positive now :)

Thanks for the info! :)

Good luck for your 1st weigh in, let us all know how it goes!

That's exactly how I feel! Just think, a few months hard work and determination will all be worth it when we're one of those slim girls in great outfits!... Can't wait! Good luck on starting the diet! :)

Exactly!! I think i've had enough treat days to last me a lifetime!!! Well done on surviving day one!

Hi all, Well seen as I have given up my evening hobbies (sitting infront of the tele with something to 'pick' on & cooking) I need to find something to keep me occupied, just wondered if any of you can recommend anything, i'd really like to find a hobby that will keep my mind off food! But...

It's so annoying when you're trying so hard and are so weak!! 'you've got to have a treat day' ..... i've only been on the diet 2 days!!!

Well went to a friend's house tonight who is also on a diet, watched a film, occupied ourselves pampering with face masks.. Until another 'friend' turns up, wants to order a takeaway, we say we don't want one and stay strong but she keeps going on.. 'are you sure? i'll order u something, go on...

I can't find any official 'lipotrim' advice on this but have heard a lot of lipotrimmers saying that you're not allowed soda water, so i'm going to play it safe and stick with my sparkling.. :)

Well done, how much did u lose this week? x

thank you!

Does it matter if its the tablet sweetener or the granulated stuff? Thanks for all your info so far, you've been a great help x

Well done! |You should be proud of yourself, I really hope I don't give in and do as well as you!! :)

I've only got choc n strawberry but will def get some vanilla next week and give it a try, thanks!

Great, i saw your tip on peppermint tea cooled and mixed with choc shake too! and i think it could have been you who had the coffee and ice with choc shake tip... delicious!! So glad of these as not liking the flapjacks or soups it will really help me to mix it up a little and hopefully not get...

But be proud of yourself that you've managed to abstain from it! and imagine how awful you would have felt if you hadn't! I'm only on day one haha so am still in positive determination mode!... Sure it will wear thin!!!

Maybe once i'm in ketosis i'll be in a better place to be able to keep in control! and thanks for the soda water tip.. i just assumed sparkling and soda were the same!

Genius! How do you come up with these tips!? I'm going to try them as a sat night 'treat' tomorrow!!

Ketosis here I come, sounds too good to be true! And the thought of just sneaking the smallest treat knocking you out of it after youve tried so hard to get in to it will really help me to be good! :)

Well you're doing very well giving up so much all at once! You must have a steel of determination! Well done I envy you! Forget about the food, whatever it is, if you had you'd only feel sick and very guilty and wish you hadn't done it! Plus I bet youre not even hungry! We can do this! P.s. I...

I know, this week is going to totally drag!! Not going to weigh myself at home or else i'll get obsessed!

Very good! Well done you!

I'm dying to know what it is!!!

Have you got much to lose tomkitty??

Thanks Caz, i'm worried that if i go out with friends for drinks or dinner that i wont be able to resist so at the moment whilst i'm just starting i've decided to refuse all invites for dinner and drinks..just incase! I really dont trust myself! Instead there are a few films i want to see at the...

Me too! Just think.. we will be one of those long term people soon! I had my last shake of the day as a mousse....yuk!! Couldn't finish it! You can go back to your pharmacy and exchange your flapjacks and soups for shakes I think if you want to :)

The dispenser at my pharmacy didnt have a clue... couldnt answer any of my questions, couldnt find their stock, had to ring the helpline to find out what to give me!! Thank god for this forum!

I just had the choc mousse... :s Each to their own but yuk! Haha forced a bit down but couldn't finish it!

It's all these stories and pics that really motivate and keep me feeling positive!! It's great!!

Thank you!!! & I hope if i'm smelling things.. its not liver and onions!!

Well, it's the end of day one! Not a hunger pang is sight! B: Strawberry shake - tasted of nothing, surprisingly edible L: Chocolate shake with coffee & ice - lovely D: Chocolate mousse - yuk!!.. couldn't finish it I CAN do this!!! :D

He he! It's like the cartoons when theyre in the desert and see a mirage of water! Well done for resisting the 'smell' :)

wow! you look amazing!! i really hope i can do as well as you!!

ha ha well i hope so.. i look forward to the day that i look forward to them!

Hi, I hope your little one is ok! No one can predict what is going to happen, is he frequently poorly? My friend is currently on holiday in Bulgaria with her 3 year old who has epilepsy, she has been in hospital for a week after she became unwell after arriving, they've gone private and have...

Hi TomKitty! Just saying hello as I too have started today and would be great to see how someone else starting same time as me does and feels!.. I had already been on this forum before I started the diet so didn't get any soups or flapjacks following the bad reviews!! I had a strawberry shake...

Wow! Well done!!

They're not too bad.. but I can't see myself thinking yummy anytime soon!

Thank you! :)

I'm really going to need to do things other than eating a drinking!! hmm how am i going to fill this void!!

Oh no! Might try the strawberry mousse tonight... fingers crossed!!

Sorry im being dumb... what does totm mean?

Chester - I was also just diagnosed in January and am currently on 150mcg. What dosage of thyroxine do you take? and have you found it any easier to lose weight since starting treatment? :)

thanks jujuberrrry!

Great, i'm going to have to get to the shop for some before i kill someone with my breath!!

Thanks Chester! Ha ha you're so right! I had tried the CD few months ago (unsuccessfully) and at the time had a lot going on in my life and was a bit quieter than norm and all I got.. 'youre so moody on this diet' 'look at what this diet is doing to you' 'look you cant even smile' from the same...

Well it's only my first day on the diet but so far i'm feeling quite positive and excited after hearing everyones weightloss! Had strawberry for brekkie and choc with coffee and ice for lunch and they've been much better than i thought they would! I just hope that I have the same willpower and...

I'll give it a try tonight thanks! Just had my 2nd shake with lots of coffee n ice... was actually nice!!

thanks for the info! its all a bit confusing when first starting!

Phew! Thanks :)

Hello again! In prep for the bad breath to come!!.. Are we allowed to eat sugar free mints??

Deezer..... Please tell me.. how do you make cookies!!? Has anyone tried coffee and ice in the choc shake? I love iced coffees so hoping it will taste similar!

Thanks emerald, how have u found the diet so far?

Already on it! Stocked up on sparkling water... It's hardly the most exciting drink but does add that bit of something, bit of fizz when youre not allowed much else its a god send!

So would you recommend making it to a mousse? Is it tastier or is it easier as its eating something? Think it could be good to pick at for my late evening cravings! Although my pharmacist never mentioned how to make it to a mousse or offered me anything to turn it into it? xx

Thanks for your support and information miami, much appreciated! Hearing the support of others on here really does make a difference and helps to make you feel so much more positive! And your first weight loss of 15lbs makes me feel so excited about getting on the scales!! Well i'm currently...

p.s.. just about to go and try my first lipotrim shake... here it goes!

Wow 13lbs!! That's great and must really spur you on, well done! It's at work thats the problem, sitting round the lunch table shaking my shaker like a maniac.. haha I don't want to turn into a total recluse and have to go shake in a corner somewhere. Although after these comments I really...

Starting today! Eeek! Hope I have as much success as you all!

Whenever I go out, it's either for dinner or drinks... haha maybe I need to take up a hobby!

Thanks so much for your reply, I think this forum is going to be the only place I receive support on this one! Well done on your weight loss and down two dress sizes! I am also starting as a size 20 and if I can go down 2 dress sizes as quick as you I will be very happy!! You're exactly right...

Ahhh it all makes sense now.. haha it is late! Thanks Katia :)

Well.. I think i'm going to have to pack away my social life for a few months to stick at this diet.. What do you all think, have you all managed to continue on your social life with lipotrim and avoid all temptation?? xx

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie and have come across TFR in a lot of your posts.... Sorry but can someone tell me what this stands for? :confused: Thanks :)

Hi, I tried the CD and whilst on it was advised not to exercise as wasn't taking on enough cals and would be dangerous to try and burn off the little cals i was having. So I assumed the same would be said for lipotrim but haven't been able to find any official info on it. Let me know if u...

Hi everyone, I've been doing a lot of research and taken a lot of info from this forum and have decided to embark on the lipotrim diet.. starting tomorrow eeek! I have an underactive thyroid and have tried everything... slimfast, weight watchers, slimming world etc etc but have found the...
