Hi Rosie Well done on your weight loss, brill result! I have maintained since beginning of June and had lots of events to cope with such as holidays, parties and so on! I Keep going up and down within 5lbs and don't want it to get anymore. Hoping to go back to Lipotrim in a few weeks to get...

You won't as long as you stick to the plan! I have been doing it for 4 weeks and didn't put on until this weekend and I went on a mini break and think I may have put around 3lbs on! I have gone back on the refeed and to the gym so hopefully will get it back off again this week ( fingers crossed!) x

Hi I had this problem and got in touch with Lipotrim who told me to use senokot and I had 2 as soon as I got it and then again before bed ( you should only do one dose a day!) but it certainly did the trick! Also you do not have accurate weight loss if you do not go! Good luck c

Hi Well done, refeed is great I have extended mine on 3 week now! Still losing steadily but great to have flavours in water! Just stick to the plan and you will be fine. I planned 2 weeks worth of food about 2 weeks in advance and wrote it all down then followed my plan. Also the maintenance...

Hi Yes red bush is allowed I drank it alot and really liked it :) x

Think I will make my own sauce then I will know what's in it! Can't be that difficult tin tomatoes garlic few herbs, also the maintenance soup information says you can use that to make a sauce to put on pasta :)

I know exactly how you feel! I am the same, terrifying isn't it. Just need to trust the refeed plan and trust ourselves to keep in control:) Listen to me harping on! This is what people have been telling me all day as I have been moaning about the refeed! And worrying I will put on weight :( x

Hi I started refeed on Saturday, manage the portions but feel very full after! Can't wait to add the fruit and having the flavoured sugar free drinks is amazing! I have never drunk as much! I am doubling the time on the refeed. Have you tried the maintenance products yet? I still have 2 weeks of...

Thanks guys xxxx

Just a note to say a big thank you to the people who answered my questions and supported me when I was struggling, I have started my refeed today ( a week early) but I was so ready for it! The people on hear are amazing and although I didn't post a lot I really enjoyed reading the posts and...

Thanks Kay Had my first meal tonight. It was great chicken and a salad food never tasted so good! :)

Hi everyone I had planned to start refeeding next weekend but as we have a party coming up a week Monday I would really like a small drink of Pimms! So rather than mess the refeed up I thought it would be better to start it a week early? Any thoughts? My main question is can you use flap jacks...

Hi I agree I do both but not much cardio (10 mins warm up) then go on the weights to tone up :)

Mine too! Flap jack, chocolate shake and soup :)

Hi That's exactly how I feel about my body I' m sure it objects and holds on to the weight in a bid to make me give up! Twice on this diet I have put on weight! Tiny amounts but still! You just have to keep going and know it will let go of the weight eventually! I have only lost a pound at my...

Hi I teach secondary school, Maths :)

I like to make my chicken soup into crisps. Mix with a little water until a soft paste and then add a little Tabasco sauce ( not alot its red hot!) then spread thinly onto baking paper and put in microwave for around 30 secs keep watching as they burn really easily I wait until they have a...

Well done girls, It's great when people notice! I have had comments from 2 blokes at work this week. (one is the boss!) the only problem I have is I blush easily and then get teased for it. :)

Hi and welcome, your times are fine. I changed mine slightly over the last few months as I find I am hungry at the beginning of the day. I now have my first (flap jack) around 9.30am and then a choc shake at 3pm and my chicken soup (made into crisps) at around 7pm. I havent tried making the...

Hi I prefer the coconut ones! Everyone at work thinks they smell lovely when i put them in the toaster. I have to be honest they dont taste great but I have one a day as they are something to bite and chew! Definately better warm I usually do mine until they are burnt a little around the edges...

thanks guys :) Its great to have your support. Back on track really keen to get down to a healthy BMI! Really, really wanna be in the 20's that will feel great! x

Hi Jenny and Babybollo, Things are much better I did lose inches but yes it is those damn scales which keep us motivated! Everyone at home ill with a a flu bug coughing like mad keeping me awake :( but I have avoid it so far! Have been on 2 lots of antibiotics over last week as had infection in...

Thank you, feeling better today x

Is there anyone out there who has been in this diet a while and had any problems with infections? I have 2 at the moment one is in my gums and the dentist has given me antibiotics . then a very small cut on my foot ( due to shoes rubbing) has become infected to the extent I cannot wear shoes and...

Thank you x

Hi I had trouble with mine at first kept passing me on to the ladies behind the counter who more or less told me I was wasting my money and I could lose weight on my own! So I complained and told them as calmly as possible I was paying for a service and I expected to get value for money Be...

Hi and welcome As long as you are determined and really want to lose the weight then you will be fine. It can be the easiest diet in the world as you don't have to think about what you can or can't have it is what it is. But be prepared to have bad days and realise every one has these and they...

Haha yes I did :)

Hi there It doesn't stop I" m always cold! I like it though as I was always very hot and sweaty but now I" m the one saying its freezing! People tell me I need more meat on my bones haha love it!!!! Wrap up in a snugly blanket :)

Hi MrC That's what I have done for last few days mainly because I feel rubbish, so not done gym for 2 days and cancelled riding lesson last night and just chilled on sofa! Feel better today so off riding but see how I feel tomorrow morning regarding gym ( usually go 6.30am before work)...

Hi that's great! Well done you :) its brilliant when you have something to work towards and a treat when you get there! X

Hi folks, yes I thought that Daisy, seems to me my body puts up a fight every so often and says no that's enough! Hope it gives in again for next week! I haven't done as much exercise this week as back to work ( was on holiday last 2 weeks and hit the gym hard!) Lipotrim lady says I have got to...

Lost 1/2 lb last week put it back on again ! Feel rubbish been 100% for nearly 4 months. pharmacist rang Lipotrim as he is confused! Lady at Lipotrim said I cannot do this diet and not lose weight! Said well if you know you've been 100%..... YES I HAVE been bloody 100% .... Really feel like...

Just realised put this in wrong place! That's just sums up my day!

Last week lost 1/2 lb this week put it back on again ! Feel rubbish been 100% for nearly 4 months. pharmacist rang Lipotrim as he is confused! Lady at Lipotrim said I cannot do this diet and not lose weight! Said well if you know you've been 100%..... YES I HAVE been bloody 100% .... Really...

Hi Good luck with your journey, it does become easier! I forgot to have my flap jack today and at 4 o'clock couldn't understand why i was beginning to feel hungry, until I spotted it I my handbag! Usually have it around 10.30! X

I have been told it takes your skin 3 times longer to adjust to your weight loss. I' m hopping this is true as I have bingo wings! Rest is ok though! x

Hi guys I would like to join you :) going for weekends away ( spa hotel ) my school prom and other special occasions in June so planning my refeed for the 1st June and am counting down will be great to have company! Only lost 0.5lbs today :( so a bit glum but have stayed 100% for the journey...

My pharmacist said BMI 28 and I will be happy at that but can reconsider when I get there :)

Hi 4lb off today, BMI now 33 creeping close to my target of 28:) x

My partner loves that program, but I hate it! I Just think why??! Well suppose I better go for my weigh in, then off to gym :) x

Hey I agree totally went and got myself a tattoo a few weeks ago and booked in next week for my first spray tan.... Bring on the summer :)

Sorry your having such a rough time, hope you start to feel better soon:( the second week was the worst week for me) and strangely I developed a water infection ( 1st time ever ) started to feel better once I got antibiotics. Really bad timing with doctors shut do you have a walk in centre you...

Oh that's awful! Hope you are ok. I think anyone would have fallen off the wagon in those circumstances. Hope they get the thieving gits!!! :(

Hi bridesmaid 2013, Just keep your goals small. I just said I would do LT for 6 weeks then after that I added another 6 weeks. I now say 1st of June which has sent me into a bit of a flap as it seems too long away! I keep buying myself a suit( I have to wear for work) in a size smaller than I...

Hi Val sorry your not feeling too good, keep us posted how you get on as I was exactly the same last week. Really having to fight with myself to keep going. Never been so close to coming off 100% but then on Monday everything became much better. I keep thinking its my body trying to trick me...

Wow well done x

I have just discovered chicken soup pancakes and they are yummy! Tried to make crisps but they turned out as pancakes and they are the best thing. I mixed a sachet of soup with a little water so it was a creamy texture. Divided into 3 equal parts onto baking paper and put on oven gas mark 5 for...

Hi You will know yourself how much you can do. I really can tell if I've done too much and I agree you should start very slowly. Swimming is great and I go around 3 times a week. You will find as your energy levels go up you are more energetic doing everyday chores ( the house will sparkle)...

Good luck x

Well done and good luck x

I often have days like this and I am just approaching 3 months on this diet! Seems to be different triggers weekends are worse but also if I am tired or done more exercise. Have a bath or drink more water usual advice I am afraid but it passes and then happens again! I seem to be struggling at...

It should not make a difference if no one else is on them my pharmacist told me he could order anything but can only order in batches of 7 but can mix them up so could have 3 flapjacks 4 soups. I order 2 weeks at a time but only pay for them when I collect my weekly supply. I had a bit of...

That's rubbish change pharmacy if you can or complain! They need to be doing the weighing an d ordering soup if you want it! Mine messed me around a bit and I complained and told them I was paying for a service and they should provide and they changed immediately (being on this diet a couple of...

Hi and welcome, you will have days when you struggle but try and find a distraction and keep busy I get bad moments but go have a long soak in the bath with some nice products and browse eBay for clothes which are a size smaller than I am now and if they are cheap enough buy them for...

My pharmacist is pretty rubbish too, last 2 weeks I haven't seen him been passed on to the ladies on the counter! Must say I thought we could use the mouth wash I have been using it through out with no problems and I do add pepper to my soup again with no problems. X

I have told anyone who asks and get loads of support any negative comments I put them straight! Most people want to know everything about it as really interested :)

Fantastic to hear from someone who has made it to the end of their journey absolutely Well Done! X

Thanks for the replies it's great to have others who can reassure me when I'm having a panic :)

Thanks guys haven't had a TOTM since I started so well over due! Have maybe had more water today than normal but went at same time of day. Will have to wait to see what happens next week, just feels like a wasted week :(

Hi everyone Just had a massive shock been to get weighed and I have put .1kg on!!! I have been 100% for 7 weeks and cannot understand the weight gain :( Does anyone know if this has happened before or am I getting up and eating in my sleep! HELP

Hi I had to check your location as I thought you had the same chemist as me I get negative comments from just one of the assistants! But she won't say anything again because I will be ready for her next time! One of the side effects I am experiencing at the moment is a extremely short temper...

Good luck x

On amazon search breath strips first ones which come up Nuphar £1.49 x

Congratulations I am so jealous :) x

I felt the same with my first one but I quite like them now! They soften up if you toast them :)

Try and take it easy for a few days and I think your energy will start to increase. I am on week 7 and have been on holiday from work this week and have decorated house spring cleaned, rode horse and walked dogs been to Pilates and I felt rubbish yesterday, definitely think you can over do it...

Hiya I totally agree, love cooking now (didnt before) I make far too much food I have to nag my family to eat it! Also food shopping my cupboards have never been as well stocked. Love the profile pic....glad there is another horsey person on here x

Mine gets bad if I am late having my shake! :)

Good for you, wish my partner would join me :)

Can't believe my cat has eaten my flapjack in the night! Opened the wrapper and had a bite! He obviously didn't like it as the dog was finishing it off in the hallway when I got up this morning! Was very cross as my chemist only sell me a full week not individual bars grrr good job I go before...

Hi and welcome:) I know exactly what you mean about the cloths shopping that is one of my main motivators to be able to go in ANY shop and buy the cloths I like will be fab! Good luck x

Well done brill result:)

Hi and welcome, I am pretty sure I can remember it saying in the DVD no chewing gum. Regarding the exercise I have started Pilates which is not too demanding but it certainly gets your muscles working after only two weeks I feel like I am walking with my stomach pulled in and for some reason my...

Hey that's a great start keep positive and good luck x

Hiya MaryJoe you are a great inspiratio!, well done! you are so lucky to be so near to the end of the first journey but everyone keeps telling me the next step is more challenging the keeping it off! I know what you mean about the gym its a real buzz when you are into it, but soooo easy to let...

Well done that's great :)

That's brill well done :)

Great result well done x

Well done x

Wow your doing fab! Think I need to be doing more exercise, great results well done x

brilliant well done :)

Hi I keep buying clothes which are a size too small and think a few weeks this will fit! And they do ! I had a sort out yesterday and threw out the frumpy stuff I hated......so have to keep going now :)

Hi, and welcome good luck on your journey x

I got weighed on the Wednesday but started in the Thursday, I kept my weigh day to Wednesday, it's not going to make that much difference as it will balance out, go on the day which suits you best x

Hi, no but will mention it on Wednesday x

I tend to keep stirring the soup whilst drinking it so the froth gets mixed in, the weird thing us the froth is always cold no matter how hot the soup is! X

They're ok just take a bit of getting used to ! You need a bit of time to eat them, just take small bites and have a hot drink with them ( black coffee) I"m going to try them toasted. The thing I don't like about them is they are quite hard but when chewing them they go a bit powdery! That's...

Hi I am also on week 6 and get weighed on a Wednesday, will be good to have someone on the same day as me:)

You look amazing! Well done :)

Hi welcome, and good luck :)

I meant a moan!

Thanks for the replies just wanted aoan really won't let it get to me you people on here cheer me up! And if I was unsure about anything I would give LT a call. Usually find the answers to my questions on here anyway :) would like it if I could just go to the pharmacist each week and choose the...

I tell everyone and don't get many negative comments at all except when I went to see the pharmacist yesterday and he introduced his assistant who he was training to stand in for him when he was absent, she was very nice until she got me on my own, she then said I didn't need LT I could do this...

Think I've changed my mind about the drink.... Very frightening best to stay off it.

I do like the smell unless it's lingering then it really starts to bug me especially if no one else notices it! My sense of smell seems to have increased :)

Thanks everyone, will experiment.....talking of Zumba I have just done my first session got it yesterday for the wii, its not as easy as it looks!

In debenhams treating myself to new cozy PJ's and dressing gown in size 18 yeah!!! They will keep the cold out! :)

Well done:)

That's great you've made the first step and done day one. Took me about six weeks to build up to the first day! Now into week 5 the time goes by quickly.

Hi and welcome. Yes I think it's very similar you get shakes, soup or flap jack and choose one of these 3 times per day. I pay £36 for a weeks supply:)

Let me know how you get on as I have big party coming up in march and was thinking of doing the same :)

I always have lots of energy on an evening. In the last few weeks the cupboards have been sorted cooker and fridge repeatedly cleaned but husband says I am short tempered (don't see it myself!!)

Fantastic result you must be over the moon!! I am definitely feeling the cold more, work colleagues think its hilarious that I am cold because it's usually me turning down the heat whilst they sit with there over coats on ! I don't suffer too much with insomnia but do have the odd bad night.

I will join you! Will defiantly still be here beyond March.

Thanks folks , think I might try earlier times and I may have more energy during the day!

Hi everyone, What times do you have your shakes? I am doing 10.45 3.30and 8.30, but feel tired all day then wide awake at 11 pm! Was thinking of changing to have them earlier will this matter? Thanks

I am on week 4 and the breath is not as bad. I use listerine twice a day and have the strips. Brush your tongue as well as teeth and gums. Hopefully goes away soon? X

I think you know when you are having the correct amount, I feel rubbish if I don't have enough :)

Mine didn't know much about it when I started but he is reading up on it and he now has 3 customer!

I've had a miserable weekend on day 11 waiting for the energy to kick in can't wait!

Think I will have to ask at the chemist mine is not very good does not stock anything I have to ask for anything I want.

I want to try the flapjack but the supplies are not great at my chemist as I am the only person on the LT diet so he orders everything 2 weeks in advance will have to put an order in next week for maybe just one to start with.

I like the shakes too, but tried the vanilla with coffee today and it was awful....started off ok then got worse until i couldn't finish it! uck

just spent the afternoon making different meals for the next few days for my family so they can help themselves keeps me out of temptations way for a while, not easy if you have a young family.

Hi good luck hope you get the results you wish for x

Thanks folks will try the strips and the mouth wash can't wait for it to pass, don't like to get too close to people at the moment!

Hi yes I am doing ok. Taking it one day at a time. First weigh in was Wednesday and I had lost 13lbs so I was delighted with that. Just cannot wait for next Wednesday!

Hi, its my first time posting. I am on day 10 and I my breath is terrible! I also have an awful taste in my mouth does this pass?
