Almost there... Weight 64.9kg (started at 83.7) or 10st 2lb BMI 24.8 (started at 31)

Nearly there... Now 65.7 bmi now 24. Size 10 top size 12 trousers Few more pounds to go...x

Weight: 67.2kg (started at 83.7kg on December 3rd) BMI: 24 (started at 31) Only about 6lb to go until target!

Milestone achieved!!!! My weight is now officially healthy... BMI = 24.9 Weight 67.9kg

Update: Now 68.8kg BMI 25.3 I've decided my target is gonna be 60kg, in case I put a few pounds on after I start eating again!

I'm on a refeed week so I could go out for a meal and I've put on 2lb :-( Is it normal to put on a bit during refeed? Losing this last bit of weight (half a stone) seems to be taking forever :-(

Thanks girls! Today's update: now 70.5kg, BMI 25.9

Sorry I've not been on here guys, had some family problems to contend with... Weight is now 71.5kg (started at 83.7) BMI is now 26, just 3kg to go until it's in the healthy bracket! Hopefully only another 7lb to go til target weight x

Well done hockeynut! I had to give all chocolate to OH as I couldn't risk leaving it lying around! Jessicasmummy... Going on lipotrim was the best thing I've ever done, this weekend someone even said they thought I was a size 10! I've lost two stone (bar 2lb) since starting on December 3rd and...

Just got weighed! Weight now 73.1kg (11st 5lb) BMI now 26.9 (started at 31)

Are you not scared of having treats? I am! I don't think I'll ever be able to touch chocolate again for fear of putting on a pound!!x

Thank you dee... That's all really helpful. Got some weighing scales today so I can keep an eye on my weight. It is a bit daunting though isn't it, thinking 'how will I cope without lipotrim'?! I think because it's so simple - you're not allowed anything!, you wonder how you'll cope having to...

I am worrying a little bit.. If I reach my goal by, say, end of Feb, what if I put it back on by October when I'm getting married? I've got a feeling I might have to go back on it during the summer...x

I agree, should be able to get it on prescription, but LT is a business I suppose!x

Weigh-in (day 41): 11st 8lb Loss of 5.5lb this week! BMI 27.5 (down from 31) Total weight loss: almost two stone!

Possibly, but there's differences on the mainland too. I would guess the pharmacies pay a set amount for the stock, say £20 for a week's worth, then increase it to what they want to charge...x

Weigh-in tomorrow and I can't wait. I feel like I've lost loads this week but trying to stop myself expecting too much as I only lost 3lb in my second week before Christmas refeed. Fingers crossed!

The best thing about these forums isn't the advice, it's the support you get from other dieters. Everyone's incredibly supportive and whether you have 0 friends or 100 friends, as far as I'm concerned you'll find all the help you need right here. We're all in the same boat... Ok, we're all...

Cumbria £36

Hey, while on LT I've totally emptied the fridge of any food, leftover or otherwise, apart from some basics my OH will need. He's also got into the habit of buying his food daily so there's never much lying around to tempt me (especially alcohol!) Try not to put yourself in too many situations...

Thank you guys and good luck to you all!x

How did you guess?! Also got weighed again today and am 11st 12lb now, BMI 27.8! More news - today we booked our wedding, October 6th!

Weighed today - 11stone 13lb Total weight loss (five weeks) - 17lb Started at 13st 2.5lb BMI has gone from 31 to 28 woo hoo!

Back on lipotrim after Christmas. Day 4 today, getting weighed tomorrow. Not expecting a huge loss as it will only have been 5 days. Still looking forward to it though!

My favourite Christmas present!

I've been refeeding this last week so I can have a Christmas meal tomoz and I still lost 2lb even though I was eating (and didn't strictly stick to LT refeed sheet), I even had a few glasses of wine!x

Update: Day 21 Weight - 12st 2lb (started at 13st 2lb) BMI - 28.6 (started at 31) Lost a stone in three weeks, woo hoo! One more week of refeed then back on milkshakes for about six weeks.

Thank you Katie that's really kind :-) x

Thank you guys! As it's one of only two nice meals I'll be having before I go back on shakes I'm gonna enjoy myself somewhat but try to be a bit responsible!x

Hey all, I'm refeeding this week and am off for a family meal on Christmas Eve to an Indian restaurant, can anyone suggest any relatively low fat meals off a typical menu?

Thank you.... Lot of other stuff going on at the mo, trying to conceive for the last 9 months with no joy :-( x

BMI now 28.7

Day 18 - weight 172lb (starting weight 184.5lb) not bad considering I'm on a refeed week, still lost 1lb in four days.

Week 2 - lost 2.2lb Running total (week 1 8.5lb + week 2 2.2lb) = 10.7lb. Could be better but a loss is a loss!x

For all you LT blood donors... I went to give blood today, told the nurse about LT and she was happy for me to donate UNTIL she happened to ask how many calories were in the milkshakes. When I corrected her that in fact you have 425 calories a day in total, not per milkshake, her face filled...

Haha I bet i'd soon be banned from the pharmacy if I did that!x

That's made me feel much better... note to self 'next weigh-in, wear as little as possible!'x

I wish I had some scales at home so I could weigh myself with the two different outfits on ha. I guess I'll just have to wait til the weekend :-( will make sure I wear my leggings next time tho!x

Thank you! Am a bit gutted today, got weighed and I'm still the same as I was on Saturday :-( I hope it's cos I was wearing jeans and a jumper x

It's great isn't it... The speed at which you lose weight makes it so much more achievable because you can see the end in sight. I'm probably gonna have a few drinks but will stick to wine and soda. Food-wise, I'm only gonna have a couple of 'normal' meals, but try and have smaller portions...

This is exactly why I'm gonna stick to TFR shakes for a while! Three meals and shakes seems like a lot to me x

Cheers Dee... I can always tell the pharmacy a couple of white lies!x

Can I just ask you all (who know so much more than me!)... when you go into the maintenance phase... can you just stick to the refeed diet instead, so shakes morning and lunch for instance, then a meal at night? (as opposed to buying the maintenance products)x

Got over the sickness of last night, no problems today thankfully!x

Hey Chrissie I'll only have been on 100 per cent shakes for two weeks then refeeding next week (but two shakes every day and one light meal) so I can enjoy Christmas and then I'll go back on 100 per cent after that - all of which the pharmacist said was fine!x

Good luck for tomoz Katie x

Grr just uploaded a profile pic but it's not yet showing up on my phone x

You do what's best for you... I guess it might not seem worth it after two years' hard work BUT the other side of the argument is that you've deserved it!x

Cheeky f***er... I'd have given them a piece of mind!!x

You'll be there before you know it... keep up the good work!xx

Thank you, I will... Without a shadow of a doubt I wouldn't have got this far without the support of this forum!x

Aw thank you for the advice and support, I'd love to be able to achieve your second week loss in my second week (this wk). I'm once more looking forward to getting weighed on Saturday, it can't come soon enough and hey, maybe that episode of throwing up will help ha. On seconds thoughts, that...

Just been really violently sick... Seemed to spew up about two pints of water plus my last shake. Any ideas guys???x

Ooh wow good luck for tomoz... It does get harder just before weigh-in, cos it's been so long since you've had that confidence boost but just think - be good now and it'll be worth it tomorrow! I'm gonna go back to 100 per cent shakes after xmas, prob for a few weeks. If if if I can get to...

Not bad at all thanks katie! It's easier than last week, prob cos I know that as of sat I will be refeeding (for xmas) so an end of sorts is in sight. How are you getting on?x

Don't be nervous, it's the best thing ever! That feeling when you go back to get weighed and discover you've lost weight (which you will) is amazing! Good luck xx

I asked my pharmacist about this, cos I was in two minds about just sticking to shakes, then having two meals at xmas or doing the refeed. He said it's not a good idea to suddenly have a normal meal and you could put weight straight back on. However, he did suggest that instead of sticking...

Thank you guys!x

That's no good... Is there another pharmacy nearby that do lt too? Maybe you could transfer... They're supposed to be helpful and nice, don't forget - you are their customer so they should be doing everything they can to make you happy!x

It's easy enough to convert... I use a free app on my iPhone and track my losses x

Think of the positives... 2lb is still a loss, and it's steady progress, stick with it you're doing brilliantly! Don't beat yourself up over targets, the most important thing is being proud of what you're achieving and feeling better in yourself x

Fab! Even if it's only a proportion of what you've got to lose in total you'll start to feel it yourself, with clothes etc. Well done :-) x

Definitely... My determination had started to fade a little bit but after today I'm even more committed than ever, bring on next week's weigh-in!x

That's fantastic, well done! Your willpower is stronger than you thought! How did you do on the weigh-in?x

Thank you guys! I felt like crying afterwards I was so overwhelmed. And I now fit into a pair of jeans I've not been able to wear in months :-) x

Ive just been weighed... Lost 8.5lb in week one! BMI down from 31 to 29. Weight down from 13st 2.5lb to 12stone 8lb. Woohoo!

Lost 8.5lb! BMI down from 31 to 29. Weight down from 13st 2.5lb to 12stone 8lb. Woohoo!

On my way to getting weighed!!x

Yeah I know what you mean, that's why I don't really have a specific target, I'll just stop dieting once I'm happy with the way I look x

How much did you lose?x

You can buy it from chemists, you have to chat to the pharmacist first then you go back every week to be weighed. If you go to the lipotrim website you can find your nearest chemist. I've only been on it 7 days but would def recommend it x

I know what you mean, some days I don't feel hungry at all and could manage without but I force them down, even though they do sometimes make me wanna gag!x

Hey Dee, I don't think I'm quite ready to be in such close proximity to my OH when he's eating! He's being very good, not telling me what he's had to eat when I'm not there. Sometimes I think I can only have two shakes a day, is it best to have all three?x

Thanks TracyAnne, will be sure to post regular updates!x

Thank you TracyAnne, I shall be sure to post my updates!xx

And you've lost all that in 4 weeks?! Wow. I'm torn between refeeding for a week (and taking in a family meal on xmas eve and one on xmas day) or just sticking to shakes 100 per cent apart from those two meals, which do you think is best?x

I've not set myself a specific target... I'd probably be happy getting down to 10 stone (so lose 3) but if I get to 11 and I'm happy with how I look then that'll do for me. How about you?x

Thanks Katie! It's definitely a real encouragement reading what everyone else thinks/feels etc, and it's nice to see how everyone supports each other x

That's fantastic well done! An inspiration to the rest of us newbies! Keep up the good work xx

Started Lipotrim on Saturday, starting weight 83.7kg, BMI 31. Now on day six, am finding this forum incredibly helpful, and reading all the posts also helps to distract me from the temptations of food! OH has been really supportive and am starting to see results already, he treated me to a...

It's £36 a week, which I thought at first seemed a lot but you don't spend any money on food or drink (I prob spent that on wine alone every week!) I'm on my first week (day 6) and can tell I've already lost weight. I won't say it's easy, cos it's not... The smell of food in the first few days...

That'll do for me! Thank you... Even after just six days I'm noticing a difference, clothes seem looser and my tummy feels flatter, can't wait to get weighed on sat!x

Hi all, I'm on my first week of Lipotrim and was wondering if it mattered what time of the day you drink the shakes? I've been off work this week so have been having a lie-in, and therefore am drinking my shakes at 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Does that matter? Also when I go back to work I don't...

Lipotrim is 425 calories a day...x

Hey, LT costs £36 a week (which can seem a lot but in actual fact I guess you save a lot not buying food or drink). I'm only on day 5 but am quite confident, a lot of ppl seem to have done well and it's relatively straight forward x

At least having someone there who knows about LT should help..? Talk to the friend who knows you're on LT about how worried you are, she might be able to help you get through the night by sticking with you x
