So here we are. After 16 weeks I am now off of lipotrim. Did I get down to my target weight? No. But did I manage to lose an awful lot? Yes, almost 4 stone gone. This time the reason is financial, last week I put down the deposit and administration fees for a place of our own, better still, my...

What a week! I've stayed the same this week, despite being good but what's not all is that my beastly Aunt Flo has come to visit and she hasn't made any intention of moving on away. Shoo with you! I haven't been regular for years now, so the fact that she's reared her ugly head is comforting...

Oh my word this sunshine! It's got very, very hot lately and while I love the warmer weather its playing havoc with the public transport. Everyone is sweaty and horrible and I just want to get home from work. Currently sitting on a train that was supposed to leave 20mins ago, but for some...

Hahaha, gotta say Chocolate is my favourite. I've previously enjoyed a chocolate/strawberry combo but the strawberry has been very salty lately for some reason so I'm on pure chocolate now. Vanilla was never that great for me, something about it just felt off. I quite like the flapjacks and the...

Huel is a protein bulking powder to the best of my knowledge, but the shaker is actually pretty good. I had some gripes with it to begin with but it's been a god send to use in public. Haha I feel like I can't relate there. Certainly prefer them cold but I find ice is too much of a hassle, I...

Beginning of week 14: Weigh in was today and you know what, I can hardly believe it myself. The largest weight loss of this journey so far wasn't at the beginning like it usually is. This week a massive 5kg came off. That's an insane amount! It makes me wonder if it was just a plumbing issue...

I'm glad to see you're still around, Gecko! Had the notification pop up on my phone today for the first time in ages which prompted me to come on. Once I got going, the rant just came out, so I reckon it's been playing on my mind a lot :P I work at Asda. I really do enjoy it, the majority of my...

Questions correct: 9 / 10 You took 87 seconds to complete this quiz. Total score: 813 That was a fun little timewaster :P

You're doing well! This diet is hard and standstill weeks can make it seem like suffering for nothing, but you're taking it in your stride which is great! Keep it up, you're doing fab x

Arse end of Week 13: I really must apologise for being almost completely off the radar. Life has been completely hectic for me lately. My partner has moved in with me from the ROI and applied for his NINo, and just as soon as that was sorted the house got SSTC which now means that I'll finally...

Hi Gecko, I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately, I haven't even got an excuse :o I've just been privately going forward, I thought that the forums had died out a little, but the notification on my phone shocked me a bit. To see a bit of life again I may just resume posting :) I've been...

Just poking my head in to see if we're still here! Just completed my first week back after break week. It was torture, but managed to stay 100% with it. Ive still not got back into ketosis, and I hope that's not because of my partner kissing me after he's eaten. But hopefully I'll be there...

I suppose I'm now on day 5 of the restart (I'll count what day I'm actually on soon) I'm currently at work and feeling pretty serene all things considered. My biggest craving is still running riot over me though. Soreen. I can't stop thinking about it! Other than that, been pretty smooth...

Sorry for my hiatus! I got a little too carried away with the maintenance week and ended up putting on more than I expected to :whoops: But it has given me a lot of perspective and I am happy to continue with the regular LT from here on out. Even though it feels harder restarting, I know that...

Don't threat! Your first week you lose water weight, stick through it and you begin to burn the actual fat. And trust me, after week 3 you start to fit better in clothes, the longer you're with it the more drastic results you will see!

Hello ladies, how are we doing? I know we've been a bit quiet lately, hope everyone is still doing alright. Only lost 1kg last week and I'm on to my 'break' maintenance week now. Made peace with the fact I may not be losing so I'm just going to do my best :P How is everyone doing? Xx

Hahaha, maybe we're all feeling a bit glum about the easter chocolate we missed out on this year :P Myself I've been clocking up an insane amount of overtime at work so I've hardly been home to sit on my computer properly to make a post. Easter was definitely hard, especially when they had...

Hello there! Welcome to the clique :D Having before photos really does help, I took some really unflattering ones as well as the flattering ones (not holding in my belly, sideways on etc) so that I could get a real measure on what I have to lose and it's helped me lots as time has gone by! the...

I am really happy to see the post today because it just made me feel so much better about it. I was feeling really sorry for myself and I almost wanted to throw in the towel. Thank you so much. I'm suffering with a bout of insomnia at the moment so I apologise if my timings are a bit skewed...

Day 37. I feel like the biggest hypocrite alive. Yesterday I was 100% for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! But then I was given some bad news regarding my family. Something that made me so unbelievably angry and upset that I was shaking. And in that weakness I stormed to the freezer, and defrosted...

I would certainly love to have more people on the journey. The diet is tough but it is so worth it when you start to see the results. Medical problems always make things 10x harder especially when the medicine prescribed has a side affect. Part of what made all the weight pile back on in the...

Hello! We don't have a chat room (but that would be a really good idea!) the majority of us float between three threads. I'll post the links below. Most popular one we go on-> https://www.minimins.com/threads/day-3-of-lt-100-would-love-a-buddy.357473/...

Day 34. My egg craving is still very strong. I'm at work and all I can think of is poached eggs, fried eggs and crusty rolls. Definitely going to have to put it on the cravings word document when I get home. Otherwise been feeling very drained and sluggish today. Almost feel unwell, but it's...

Hi Gero! Yes there are quite a few of us on it at the moment! Lucky this pinged through as a watched thread or we would have missed you. Most of us are spread out among the main forums, but look for what has been recently updated and you'll find where we frequent. How are you getting on?

Day 33. The other day I had such an intense craving for eggs (actual eggs, not easter eggs!) that they even managed to follow me into my dream! The little buggers, I dream't I had tortilla wraps with chicken and fried egg, and for some reason I was adding chocolate cake into them too! As I was...

Hahaha I know how you feel! My mum and the kids were breaking out the trifle and stuff today and yesterday and I could smell it from my room. Urgh! So much temptation around at this time of year. I'm looking forward to my week 'break' on maintenance, just hoping I can keep a handle on things and...

That's great going @Fedupbeingafattie! Keep pushing through, you're doing great! I've started having really intense cravings for eggs! Last night it broke through into my dreams and I tell you it was the weirdest thing. You're doing fantastic!

@MissCerys I'm aiming to be on it for as long as possible until I feel happy enough. I do feel fantastic right now :P For Week 6 I will be doing a single week of maintenance as it falls over mine and my OH's birthdays (and would love to have a cheeky tipple if at all possible) with Week 7 being...

LT is like marmite. People either love it or hate it. :P I've been struggling again lately, not so much with cravings but with stress in general so my food-stress relationship has been rearing its ugly head again. Been able to ignore it still this week though. I'm on day 31 and beginning to...

@Sarah3010 you did so well to get through the first week so don't you worry, this diet isn't for everyone so just be proud of the headway you made. Still drop in and say hello, best of luck xxx @MissCerys what sort of diet do you follow now? Ie: calorie counting, Mediterranean based, KD? I've...

Good luck for your weigh in! Glad to see you're feeling good and the energy surge has hit :) Im sure you'll do fantastic xx

Day 29. I've been in complete agony all day with the trapped nerve, it's really drove me mad! Having an early shift in the morning as well made things worse, as all I could smell was the bakery preparing their fresh rolls and hot cross buns. The shift itself was also very, very stressful and...

Hi there! I don't do slimming world but saw your post pop up in the recent list on the main page and had a bit of a nosey. My partner is exactly the same kind of fussy (if it's green, he wont lay a finger on it). However, I have tricked him into eating vegetables a few times in the past. What I...

@MayBride17 definitely agree with LT making you realise the stress-food relationship. Been a really really hard day at work today and just wanted to binge, but most days I'm pretty stalwart. -2kg at my weigh in on Tuesday, I can't help but feel disappointed, I know it's a good loss but I always...

Ahh a move to Ireland may be on the cards for me at some point in my life (my partner is from ROI) so if that ever happens at least there is a program over there. You'll have to let us know how you get on with it, Fedup @MayBride17 how did you find they tasted? We're they a good different or...

Ooooh that sounds fantastic! Bet it would taste really nice and quite satisfying in the mornings too. Is it still Lipotrim or is it a different company that your Pharmacy has swapped to? Either way pleeeeease stay with us on these forums :innocent0001:

It is a really, really hard diet so stick with it as long as it feels right for you. We're all here to support you and each other as well so use us as much as you need to. I plan to stay on it for as long as they will allow me to :P I have a lot to lose and while I've got a rough number in my...

Aaaah don't, feel like I fight those demons all the time as well. Chinese food is one of those things I really miss. Need to learn how to cook healthy tasty things when we're in maintenance :D

Being around other people going through it is always helpful and while we're all supporting each other it makes for the right kind of environment to be in :) TFR= Total food replacement. A lot of people can look down on the diet and say some things that aren't really helpful "Why not do X...

Awwww so you probably see all the things come through as well while you're scanning them xD I get so many recipe ideas while I'm marking stuff down, but nothing to act upon :P Keep at it, Sarah :) The hunger never really disappears to be very honest with you, but after the first week it gets...

Day 26. I've been posting less, but don't take it as a bad sign. I'm over the worst hurdles and I'm back to clear skies now. My cravings have settled right down and I'm beginning to slim back into my size 20s bottoms properly :D (I have been floating on the upper end of 20 and the lower limits...

pmsl you do make me laugh! I will always bang on about drinking Green tea to help keep you regular. After the ketosis sets in as well it doesn't taste bitter and horrible like it usually does, you learn to appreciate it's sweetness.... and it's side effects :sick0019: Fantastic news about your...

Day 23. On weigh in on day 21, I had only lost 1kg for the week. However the actual value may be skewed due to going later in the day (and, to be honest, the fact that I had a meal earlier that day too :banghead:) I had been out all day at court and had forgotten to bring any shakes, so when my...

Thank you sooo much for the support, I really needed to see this today <3

Hello ladies! Fedup summed it up lovely, wonderful to have more people join us while we slim :D Fedup: Well done on keeping strong and for not breaking and best of luck for your weigh in tomorrow! Remember if you do end up having a nibble to drink plenty of water and get straight back onto it...

Hey Fedup. I only lost 1kg this week :( hoping it's just because I went later in the day rather than in the mornings before my breakfast shake. Regardless, it's been another pants week. Lot of stresses. Otherwise the LT has me feeling physically better :D How are you doing hun? Xx

Day 21. Weigh in day! Despite having to go to court today, I managed to make it to the pharmacy in time to weigh in. However the results were a little disappointing, but I put it down to being full of liquids (I usually go first thing in the morning before shakes, but I've already had two today...

Orange, that's amazing! I bet you're feeling amazing :) I'm sure you'll smash your target in no time. Where in your body have you seen the biggest change? I've got weigh in tomorrow (officially) but I'll need to go on Wednesday as I'm away tomorrow. (lucky I've got day 7 pouches, and I...

Day 19. Again I am struggling and I don't know why :( For all the discipline needed to stick to the diet, it still hasn't broken the mentality in my head. I found myself thinking today "I can't wait to come off this diet so I can eat chocolate" And then I thought, 'that is not the mentality to...

Day 18. I've not broken but it seems like things are getting harder. Whew. For a while I wondered what was causing it as there was really no reason for me to be having these intense cravings. I am well in ketosis (my ketostix came: I am second from the darkest, so no issues like acidosis) and I...

We're all spread over several different threads in the LT subforums so making a thread here where we can all drop in and see how we're all doing and all. How are we going ladies? Hope all is well for you xxx (also if you're starting LT at whatever point and joining us, drop in to say Hi...

It's been a rough week so far. Been 100% but my cravings have been strong and the LT depression seems to have hit me :( My home scales say that I am under 16 stone now though so its the silver linings :) xx

Fedup that's fantastic! You have every right to be over the moon! Congratulations :wee:

Still day 16... and I think I am about to have another bad night.. I don't know what's wrong with me but all I can hope for is to just power through it and hope that it passes. EDIT: technically day 17 but who is counting. I'm being kept awake by my tummy and insomnia has well and truly got me...

It's been a rough week so far hun, as you saw on the other thread I lost 2kg (4-5lbs) last week. I am hoping my weigh in on Tuesday will be good to help motivate me through the bad stuff. I'm out for a friend's birthday tomorrow to the clubs so it's going to be tough going when all I want to do...

Day 16. And I spoke too soon for yesterdays entry. Despite being nearly 10pm, I was hit thick and fast with many intense cravings for nothing inparticular, I just had a strong desire to eat that crippled my entire body. All I could manage to do was lay in bed and cry as my tummy rumbled...

Day 15. Happy to report that I have had absolutely no cravings what-so-ever today. I also ordered some ketostix from amazon so I can keep track of my ketosis for interests sake. I'm very much looking forward to the coming week, although I'm sort of regretting not getting more chocolate. The...

Phew! Glad to see you're still with us. It's a shame about the flapjacks though, they do seem to have that weird chewy thing going on! Amazing that you and Jemz go to the same chemist! How are you doing? xx Jemz: How are you going, dear? Did you find your second week easier? xx

Fantastic thank you hun. -2kg this weigh in (should have went to bathroom first pmsl) and been productive on my day off today. How are you doing? Xx

Hi Lao, nice to meet you! And welcome back :) Fantastic news that you managed to keep the weight off, and for so long too is an amazing accomplishment I'm beginning week 3 now and have lost just shy of a stone so I'm sure you'll be able to lose in time for your daughter's wedding. Keep us...

Weigh in day today! Day 14. I lost 2kg this week and I am so happy! Right now I'm at work (feels like I'm always here :rolleyes:) so I went in this morning before my shift starts. I got a few flapjacks this time to make things easier for me in the break room. They didn't have peanut which is my...

I had this conversation with a lady at work today. She was absolutely appalled that I was doing LT instead of doing WW or SlimmingWorld that she butted into a conversation I was having with someone else to raise her point. Don't upset easy nowadays but I found this very rude. People are so...

Day 13 and looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. Feels like an age since that dinner with my Bestie. And while I haven't yet got back to the exercise DVD, I am feeling a lot brighter. I'm currently at work on a break until my second shift begins. I work at Asda right now and Monday's are a...

The chemist I go to generally charge £48 but last week the lady entered in the prices for the shakes I had individually. On a per meal basis it came out to about £45. I live in the south East Coast though so could be something to do with shipping to the middle of nowhere

I am going to follow all you ladies. I was so worried nobody else was doing it due to the infrequent posts on the forum. I'm so pleased there are a few of us all going through it around the same time! Seabre: exercise will help a lot with the excess skin that may be left behind. Aqua aerobics...

It's good to go in with an open mind, even small successes are successes :D Hope the ketostix are as dark as can be for you! What kind are you using? Thinking of getting some myself

Hi Fedup, Been scouring the forums for days looking for new buddies to go through LT with. I'm a second timer as well, first did it 5 years ago with moderate success, but home life wasn't good and I was only working 1 day a week so couldn't afford to continue with it. A much happier person...

Getting yourself a new wardrobe is the best way to motivate yourself! Especially knowing that you will be able to fit into them very soon :) Your friends will be absolutely amazed, don't you worry!

Day 12 has been particularly difficult today. I was called into work early this morning despite staying late last night and it set the tone of the day really. I tried to work out, but felt completely demoralized. Even for those 10 minute workout segments. After 6 minutes I sat up and turned it...

Hi Jemz, Welcome to the Lipotrim diet. 7lbs loss in your first week is fantastic! If you're looking for motivation then just look back on how well you've done in just a short week already. Bowel movements are few and far between while on this diet so don't worry too much if you find you're not...

I'm on day 11 now and there isn't much new to report. I returned home from my friend's house yesterday evening and I've been at work all day today. Before work this morning I did my exercise DVD again and was pleased to see that it was no harder than it was before I went away. The best thing...

How are you getting on, hun? All well I hope xx

Hello all! Once upon a time I did Lipotrim. Still pretty much a teenager, I had some success but not the discipline or the funds to truly pull it off. I'm turning 24 in a few weeks, and around this time was when I came off the diet 5 years ago. So here I am again, more determined, more...

Oh my gosh that's fantastic! Big congrats to you! Rooting for you :thankyouthankyou:

Oh dear JoNi! Glad you got that sorted right away and glad I could be of service ;) You get a good loss this week?

I went for my Week 2 beginning weigh in this morning. The lady I usually see (and had done before 5 years ago) is on holiday. She had prepared everything for me already (777 Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate) and it just needed to be paid for. However I was super anxious to get on the scales to...

Hey Laura, I was on LT for 9 weeks back in 2012 and I have to admit after week 1 I cheated here and there every single week. It was a piece of pasta here and some chicken there. By the time my birthday rolled around I was completely off diet. I'm back on the horse after 5 years as the weight...

Hey hunny, My periods have come hard and fast too. But I stopped having them because of contraception (and when I did have a period, it was for about a month) I started bleeding about 2 weeks ago now and I'm still going, it's just a good sign to show that your body is getting back into it...

*big hugs* I know how it feels, eating is always a comfort to me in stressful situations but believe me, it's not worth it. All it does it make you feel worse that you cheated, and then it's a slippery slope because you think "I've cheated once already, it doesn't matter if I cheat more today"...

Everyone has such great losses! :o I'm at the beginning of week 9 now and I started at 16st8lbs and I'm now at 14st3-4lbs depending on who's scales I'm on. I started at a size 20 and I'm now back into my size 16's. My biggest victory though, was losing about 6 inches off my bum. THAT is the best...

YES! After putting on 4lbs last week, I was demotivated, and then this week I had 6 consecutive 100% days with a little nibble of chicken yesterday and I lost 7lbs! So I've made up for my putting on last week and I feel fantastic!

Lol, of course you don't put the teabag in the blender. Just make a brew, tip it into the blender and then empty the sachet out into it. Usually I use Vanilla but I accidentally dumped out chocolate into it once. Now I do it on purpose!

Chocolate tea, Chocolate tea. What a happy little accident you turned out to be! ~~~~~~~~~ Thats my little haiku for you. But in all seriousness if you've not tried it already then please do. It might just be because I'm on week 8 and everything tastes fantastic, or it could well be that...

Aww Helen... *big squeeze* You've not got long to go hunny, just stick with it and you'll come out the other side with no problem, you're so close it'd be a shame to give it all up now. You've done absolutely fabulous and you've been a big help to me where we've been at the same stages so if...

Absolutely! And I'm pleased to announce that so far this week I've been 100% Whoooo! xxxx

My pharmacist said that you should drink it within the first 30 minutes at most, so split the powder up. But I'd always ask just to make sure that you're allowed to do that since eating throughout the day is a bad habit we all needed to break so not sure if that might set you up in a bad way...

Talk to your pharmacist hun, see what you can do to help yourself still lose weight but without being financially crippling. Perhaps ask about maybe doing a maintenance week as they cost less, but you'd have to ask your pharmacist if thats alright.

Today has been a good day! Roll on week 8! (1)

Red Wine- White Wine

F This F That F it all. After a really horrible disastrous week the pharmacist said I put on 4lbs! :cry: STILL! There is a bright side to all things, and the bright side to this is that I'm going to treat tomorrow as the start of week one all over again. So tonight I had it up like it...

I don't mind them blocking websites, its more the fact they can't do it properly. Or do it poorly. For example, I can't search for some jobs in my area because they blocked anything with the word 'Sex' in it. So I can't find jobs in Essex. Just an example of the monkies doing this job. Now if...

Pea- Sweet

Don't worry about it hun, we're only human and mistakes happen. Pick it up tomorrow and then don't worry about the meals. Treat it as a blip, tell your pharmacist, they won't tell you off for it because they'll know its a hard diet to do. Just use us whenever you're feeling down before that...

Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm also 18 and I'm now on week 7 of this diet and I can tell you that it is the hardest diet I've ever been on. But my losses have been fantastic. I can also tell you that I got fat for similar reasons as to how you got big, as well as an overloving grandmother...

Get up- Can't do.

I was thinking of going to Liverpool JM! Where are you right now? xxx

So after 3 weeks they must have finally cottoned on that I was using the site. As I assume I must be the only person who uses it in the school. How did I manage to get past such an intricate blocking system? Google. Google showed me the links to get to the specific forums. Thats how I'm still...

My bad luck streak is continuing this week. Just got my results back from my January exams in college and needless to say I'm disapointed. Actually, I'm devastated. For the first time in my life I'm starting to question if what I'm really doing is for me. Should I have just cut and run after...

My idea would be to live in a cold place like the antarctic for a few months because shivering burns tons of calories, and then return before it got dangerous. I'd never feel cold in england again.

Yorkies were amazing.. And my mensies are on this week too. Because I'm on the implant i don't bleed often, but when I do it's a LOT. I'm hoping that I'll still get a big loss this week despite having a decent one last week. Really need the confidence boost of it. Periods always make me feel...

Dear mum who right now is eating a huge Indian take away. What's the fudging point? Your starving daughter who has been looking after your two year old son all day and already had all three shakes.

That happened to me too FJ! Must be the steam forcing the pressure against the lid. But it never seemed to happen in the old blender. Maybe we gotta take the little removable bit of the lid off? xxx

When we've all lost the weight and got down to our targets, what will be your first meal that you look forward to? that is, after all the maintenance and refeeding, when you are completely done with Lipotrim and aftercare programes? Mine will be home made fish and chips. So I can try to...

Welcome back! I'm a first timer and I'm onto week.. 6? I think it's week 6. I've lost count now. But anyway, don't worry about it. You know what to do on this diet and how it works, just keep at it and we can all lose the weight together. Every day is a new day. xxx

This week isn't going well at all. Today my sister went to have emergency surgery on her broken nose. (Her best friend's boyfriend punched her twice and broke it three weeks ago) and today they need to try to reset it because the bone was growing so it blocked one of her nasal passages and...

Skin - Pores

Good news! There was no wordle! I came home and the blender was fixed. Had my breakfast shake and my nanny was here to visit. Gave her a hug and I'm feeling much, much better now. Aren't little gran's the best? xxx

Haha, I'm glad someone enjoys the soup. Seems the general consensus is that they taste rank! Next week I'll ask for a packet of soup to try it in the pan. Thanks for the suggestion! xxxxx

I could not imagine a worse week, and its only just began! So yesterday, it was a monday. As if that wasn't bad enough it was like some horrible bad luck charm had caught itself on my clothes and followed me all day. First of all I got into college late and then managed to mess up my biology...

Rack- shrinking. (our poor boobies..)

Point- Debate

Funny you should say that.. My biology classmates are looking more and more appealing as food sources. Especially when before my diet we always had 'Cake friday' They wasn't going to do it any more in support of my diet (Bless 'em) but that wouldn't have been fair. So while I'm sitting there...

I stayed the same one week then had a decent loss the next. Don't worry too much about it as it can be caused by a whole number of things. A lot of the ladies on here have weeks where they stay the same, just stay true until your next one and if you're 100% you'll have a fairly big loss I'm sure...

I know your pain, me and my mum struggle together while everyone else eats their food. We slip up a few times and feel awful for it, but admitting it is helpful for us both so we don't slip into secret eating. But you're doing so well to resist, just think of all the great stuff you can have...

You cheated with possibly the healthiest stuff I can imagine! If anything perhaps the bran flakes will give you a scrape out before weigh in. I doubt it will affect you too much but the feeling of guilt when you cheat will help you curb it so it won't happen again. We're only human, and this...

Don't worry about it hun, we're only human and just remember the feeling it gives you when you cheat and don't make it a regular thing. The more you do it, the more it'll affect your weigh in and the longer you'll need to stay on the diet to lose weight. xxxx

Banned- Hammer (Banhammer!)

Well done! And Welcome to Lipotrim. One day one I was at my saturday job so I had alot of things to distract me, and during the week I'm at college so I've got more important things to think about than food. So it does help to have a job that doesn't include children. But it's not impossible...

Glad to know its workings for you hun. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is saggy tats. At 18 its a real vanity issue for me, so I've started wearing bras to bed just to try to give them boobies a bit more support. xxxx

Haha, translated into English, Forensic Anthropology is sifting through long dead bones to see if they are murder victims or not, and then trying to find out who they are. Good money if you can stand it. But for now I'm just a saturday assistant at a clothes shop. But thats not to say it...

I'm at college right now in my final year of A levels, Philosophy and Ethics, Biology and Chemistry, should be going to university next year to do Forensic Anthropology. After that, who knows! xxxx

Maybe it's cause we're in a hard water area! Haha xxx

Small Clothes- H&M (I actually measured their size 16 cause I work in a clothes shop for REAL people, their size 16 is equivilent to a real size 12)

Hi Lynne, don't worry too much about the Vanilla, it is an aquired taste. My first week I only had Chocolate and Vanilla as I've never liked artificial strawberry. It worked quite well but I got very bored, now I only get one or two vanilla and use it in my tea as a milk replacement. The...

Waiting makes it all the sweeter. Just try not to think about how it would taste now. Think about how it will taste in a few weeks time when you won't have had it and you'll be a slim sexy thing! Lol xxxx

Thanks, Su. xxx How you getting on today Jubbley? xxx

I tend to cheat on savoury things. In which case if I have a nibble, then I'll disreguard it. But if I actually eat something that would equate to a meal, then I skip my next shake. For example on tuesday I only had my breakfast shake as it was my little sisters 17th birthday. Now she had the...

I don't know about spuds, but my pharmacist said I'd lost about 8 bags of sugar. :P xxx

Perfectly reasonable explanation for the marshmallow penis... It's my sisters 17th birthday and because she's a veggie she can't have them, so they were just left laying around. I'm alright now I've had a bit of time to calm down. Just feeling frustrated that I couldn't of held out that little...

So theres been a lot of family rows today and thats lead me to cheating really badly for the past two hours. From 9am to 7pm I was completely 100% and then fights started and I had: left over roast potatoes, small. About 5. Small cuttings of Butter nut squash A marshmallow penis and a...

Alright,So.. I'm on week 5 of the lipotrim diet. I started this diet at 16st8lbs after losing a little bit through cutting down portion sizes and then plateaued once again. I've been a member on MM now since the beginning of February. I'm eighteen years old. I now weigh just about...

Pounds- Sterling

I've not got a diary, didn't know you could start one! I'll fiddle with it tomorrow and see if I can. And thank youu ^^ xxx

For people who have seen my post in the LT off topic forum you'll know I recently had a bit of trouble in Chemistry at college by not being able to fit into the only left over labcoats. Well today we had an experiment and I was left in that predicament again. When I was on day 4 I had a 38...

One thing you really shouldn't do (But which I do anyway because I think it's hilarious) is 'flap' them. While spending time with a lot of my old friends (who loved my flabby physique) a hilarious thing to do while slightly tipsy was to 'try to take off' Needless to say, no matter how funny it...

Congratulations hun! Thats excellent news! I don't think LT while pregnant is a good idea as baby will need a lot of your nutrients (Thats why it's called eating for two) And LT only gives our body EXACTLY what it needs. Do SW while pregnant and look up a calorie value for pregnant women then...

Thanks mum :rolleyes: x Shopping tomorrow! Woopee!

Girl Power - Camaraderie!

No worries Kate, if you've been ill then you've got a good excuse. You'll be absolutely fine this week I'm sure. :D I've stayed the same this week, so I've asked for all liquids this week to help curb it to being losses again. xxxx

Good luck hunny, remember you're only human so if you do cave then don't beat yourself up over it. I'm having my 4th week weigh in today, and I'm finding it going pretty quickly after the first week. I think there are certain foods you can nibble without being thrown out of ketosis. But don't...

From what I've seen, a lot of us have our weigh ins on Fridays. If you haven't already been yet, how do you think you've done? If you have been already, how did you do? I've not been yet but I'm quite nervous. I don't think I've lost this week as I've been very bad and very very stressed...

I know how that feels :( I'm usually on a 3 months off 1 month on cycle but that's completely gone to crap now I've started, I'm not sure when it's coming. Just remember, a true gentleman loves his woman every day of the month! :p xxx

Well done! Carry on like that and you'll be there in no time. xxx

Welcome to the forum VVV, You've gotten over hardest bit by committing yourself to this diet, day 3-4 seem to be the worst for people and then after that it's just like going downhill on a bike. It gets easier and easier and then you don't even have to think about it, you just do it. I'm...

Hey Dee, Are you on the implanon implant, progesterone only synthetic or are you on something else? I'm on the implanon implant and I haven't had periods regularly (In the conventional meaning of the word) If its the progesterone only then it's being balanced out by the oestrogen stored in the...

That sounds like a great idea! Especially when younger siblings all get icecream. Good thinking Angel xxx

Considering the diet makes us ladies more fertile, then Su makes a good point. Might not be a bad idea to keep the death breath after all :giggle:

Hi Alipo. Are you getting your sachets from the pharmacist or from the internet? Because this programme is only meant to be followed through your pharmacy and I don't think they'd sell you female lipotrim. The nutritional requirements for men and female are vastly different and so they make up...

I use a cream from Lush called Lovely Jubblies. It's supposed to stop your boobies going south but I use a little on my legs and neck too. It doesn't promise miracles but I've certainly felt a difference with how tight the skin is.

Kids TV- Tilly, Tom, and Tiny! (Tots TV)

She didn't go into detail about it but I've seen the recipe floating around the forum. I think you can find them in Elaine-Melanie's thread here: http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-forum/261314-lipotrim-recipes.html I think the soups are vile but if the pharmacists are being creative, why can't...

I think then it might be those people who don't understand that are nay saying. Perhaps they didn't lose weight because they're treating the TFR shakes as a Maintenance programme or visa versa, or still eating regular food and treating it as a slimfast thing.

Yes you can, and make sure you always brush your tongue too, otherwise the death breath lingers. x_X

I checked with my pharmacist before doing anything freaky deaky with it, as they are both on the diet themselves. The woman often makes crisps out of her soup packets and told me that the act of cooking or freezing won't affect the nutritional values to an extent where it's no longer helping my...

The chocolate bars are vile. But the fudge one tastes alright, and the custard. I think I found some more of these somewhere. Chocolate/Vanilla/strawberry Flavours Muffin 1.Put a little BOILING WATER into a ramekin dish, or whatever you have - thick mug or similar (about 2 desert spoons to...

Depends on the size of the dish. Mine was just a little one as it was only one flapjack base, but it was rather thick. If you spread it a bit thinner over a larger dish I'm sure it'd be a bit more of a portion. Washing it down with a lot of water helps though. The taste isn't stellar, but it's...

Welcome to the forum! You'll get all the help you'll ever need here as we're all in this together. I'm on week 4 now and feel like I should just warn you as it hasn't been mentioned already that days 3-4 can be really tough and can make you quite emotional. Just come here, vent to us and we'll...

Remember hun, we're all behind you and going to give you all the support you could ever need. Everything will be alright, when you go onto it for the first day, let us know so you can tell us all how you're doing. Also get in touch with some of the men on the boards as I'm sure they feel...

Are they cheaper than what you get at the pharmacy? Some people are just desperate to lose weight but want to do it quickly and cheaply. I actually think LT is quite reasonable for a week supply, it's the same as a weekly shop for food anyway. But expired food produce, are they allowed to do that?

Squirrel - Chipmunk

Dear mum, When I said stop leaving tastey leftovers around the kitchen, I didn't say it because I like the sound of my own voice, I said it because my willpower is seriously weakened. And I respectfully asked you not to cook as much pasta anymore, seeing as it's my favourite food (And actually...

Hey hunny, I'm in a similar situation as you. I still live at home with my mum, sisters and baby brother too. I'm on week 4 now, and although my mum isn't a chef she's a good cook. I won't lie to you, it is the most difficult thing in the entire world to watch your family eat dinner around you...

Oh hunny, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriages *hugs* I think I'm about the same weight as you and I'm on week 4 of LT now. My losses haven't been stella but that's because I keep cheating myself (With a house full of young kids who love sweets and a culinary genius for a mother its very...

Results on the cheesecake: For what it was, it tasted fantastic. I wouldn't mind eating a 1/3 of it every 6 hours for my three meals a day or maybe eating a segment once over three days. Highly recommend people try it. What you need: Flapjack (Flavour optional) Sachet for base (Chocolate or...

I just want to keep going until I can look at myself and say to myself honestly "That'll do, I'm happy with that, That'll do" Be it size 16, 14, 12 or even a 10. I'd love to be a size 10 so the current 'trends' would look fitting on me. But being realistic, my bone structure is too big for that...

I was just wondering if anybody has tried to make a cheese cake out of their various sachets and flapjacks and whether they had much luck with it. I've crumbled a peanut flapjack, into chocolate sachet made up to a mousse and then added vanilla ontop after baking the chocolate peanut mix into a...

Hiya, it's not really recommended to miss a shake because all three of them make up the barest minimum calorie intake that a person should have, and thats why we lose the weight so quickly, so to miss one regularly would be to put your body into starvation. I know the men's LT packs are only...

Hooligan- Gentleman

I'd definately do the refeed otherwise when it comes to your next weigh in you'll be kicking yourself and then you'll have regrets and thats no way to remember a fantastic holiday! Do the re-feed and then if you do put back on some weight it hopefully won't be as drastic as it would be if you...

Hey hunny, really sorry about your break up. He must be a real tool if after nine years he decides to break it off :/ (Thats like... half my lifetime) I'm a first timer myself and it's true what they say about the derailing. If you do slip up just don't beat yourself up, TFR is so difficult to...

Wow, you look fantastic! If it wasn't for the tattoo on your arm I would never have believed that was you. You really look amazing, and you are definately an inspiration to all of us. xxxxx

Good going hun for getting back on the wagon today. It can be so hard when you cheat and remember how good food tasted to get back into it. But don't worry, you can do it. Write it off as a bad job and just get straight back into it. It'll probably affect your weigh in by about 1-4lbs. So long...

Top- (of the) Pops (Love your new pic btw Deez xxx)

Heart- Fart

I think you should actually drink more water, my pharmacist recommends I don't eat more than one flapjack a day as they don't have as much water content in them and have slightly more calories than the shakes. So it might be your feeling sick because you haven't had enough water, and the fact...

I just can't wait to get out there and get shopping! As soon as my paycheck hits I'm getting the train to colchester and going to shop till I can hardly walk, then get a haircut to rest, then shop some more. :D

Good luck hunny, pop in from time to time to say hello. Lots of love. xxxx

You look fantastic in your avatar! I would never have guessed you'd be above a size 14 from that :o In answer to the thread I think I was about a size 16 when I was 13-14stone at 5'7". But I think I was also 16 years old at the time so I wouldn't know if that was just because I had less boob...

Well I've been on holiday for most of my week 3 and in that time did a lot of shopping (nothing worth spending my money on yet though) I usually do my shopping online but since my small bursts of energy have begun to kick in I'm thinking I should probably just go to the highstreet or the...

Hey hunny, I just came back from holiday myself (Not a very big one) and I'm on my 4th week of LT now, I don't know if you'll reach your 4.5stone but you might get 4 stone in the three months if you have a fantastic first month. (So far I've lost a stone and a half) just make sure you're at it...

Which means that I'm going to be away from the family who are always eating and going out for dinner (Even my mum who can't even stick to the maintenance plan :mad: ) and left me to babysit. Today I cheated through stress and had a sandwich, because of this I chose not to have a dinner shake...

We're all in the same boat and we're all doing it together, I think it's lovely. I haven't encountered a single bit of b****hiness and if there does look like theres a post thats a bit harsh, it's usually just a bit of tough love. Welcome to LT, and congratulations on almost making it through...

I'd still go to your pharmacy after that week and let them know after they run out hun, just so they know you've gone back onto it. (Although I admit I'm collecting surplus too for a 'free' week)

Hi hun, I really doubt this would be due to lipotrim as it wouldn't have anything inside it to cause the bleeding. You may feel fine at time of posting, but have you developed a cold recently? Because our bodies arn't getting as much nutrients as they are used to it leaves us susceptible to...

How are you doing today dear? Hope that everything is alright. The shakes are very hard to stomach at first I know, it's just trying to find the blends that work best for you. For example try the vanilla one with black tea instead of coffee. Also, just like Sinéad try adding more water to the...

Hey hun, I'm on my third week of Lipotrim now and I'm looking to lose another 5 stone if possible. The first week is the hardest and the diet itself is the hardest I've ever done (But then I'm only young) but it's also the most rewarding. In two weeks I lost 1st3lbs from a starting weight of...

That's great news! Glad you got your energy fix come in. To me they're like little boosts that just get my through the day. Enjoy them because sometimes you need them so much. xxx

I've 'seen' him on an IM system that we're both on but that was last night and I had to get to bed for work before I could ask how they did. He'll catch up with us soon :P

Cappucino- Mocha

You're gonna be so sick of Choc, hun! See it out till the end of the week. I always ask for one or two vanilla in case I fancy a cup of tea, as I use it for replacement milk xxxx

Eeeeee. Back pain can be horrible, just get lots of sleep, lots of water and a few painkillers if you're allowed them. xxx

Aww babe, that sounds terrible. You tell them where to stick it! xxxx

Scary- Dark

I got my weigh in today with you guys too. Best of luck Tom & Mrs. Sometimes a little bit of food and that little bit of guilt is enough to motivate you on to the end of it. fingers crossed and let us know how you do xxxxxxx

Well done, that's amazing! xxxxx

I went to go talk to the my other chemistry teacher today, he's a big chap and we had an experiment lined up for later today. He's hiding a 50inch one in his office for me from now one cause he has the same problem with staff labcoats, teehee. It's too big, which is great because now I don't...

Is that really what 1lb of fat looks like? I can't think where its come off my body..

Dear Chemistry Class, I know you don't mean to do it, but when we do experiments please don't just pick up any old lab coat and walk away because you're all lucky enough to fit into any of the things. Thing is, you leave me with the size 8 and size 10 lab coats, which leads to an awkward...

You're very welcome hun. xx

That's the spirit dear! You'll be off the ham in no time, just keep at it and remember everybody is rooting for you. <3

Think of the upside, it was only 4 jaffa cakes as opposed to finishing off a whole pack (which I could do with ease) so I wouldn't worry about it, if nothing else, think of it as a little treat for being post-op and it was a one off thing. Also congrats on getting to 9st12lbs, that's fantastic...

Good luck Elle, thank you so much for all the support you've given me and other mins in their threads. 11st6lbs is a fantastic weight and you'll most certainly get down to your target weight. We're all going to miss you here so please do pop back now and again. Big hugs to you hun, and you'll...

Hey hun, I remember last week you said you had some ham. I'm not sure what I can say to stop you only that you should have a think why you really chose to give it up in the first place. Not just ham but all food. And then ask yourself "Is giving up the body I want worth a few slices of ham?" If...

If it's just air causing the bloating then it shouldn't effect you too much, if at all. Think about it, if the air around us was heavy then we'd all be pancakes. (Mmm.. bad choice of words.. now I got a craving) Have you got painkillers for the bloating? And don't worry about a minuscule scotch...

Week one is the worst, and apparently, days 3 and 4 are the worst of that! But everybody here is going through it and/or been through it so we know exactly how you feel and give you the moral support you need to over come it. Once your body is set in ketosis some of the cravings will lessen...

I think because LT is just diet control you can sit back and relax and still have the lbs shift themselves. Absolute bliss for a couch potato like me.

Teeheehee. Any excuse for men to touch women's boobies must be a good one. Could be E45 for all I care.

*sigh* Put back on 2lbs some how throughout the day, not sure if that was the naughty pasta from Friday catching up with me or if I've just got to have more wee-wees. Nevermind, gonna give it my all to lose it again so I can say that it really is a stone gone. :rolleyes:

Good for you, Tom. The temptation will always be there but just remember the reason you chose to give up the curries and meals in the first place. When you're down to your Target Weight and gone through refeeding, then have whatever meal you fancy to celebrate it. I'm not trying to discourage...

Aww, Bess. *big hugs* Everybody is behind you and we know how hard it is. Have you tried making them up as a mousse or as different things at all? It can really help with a variety. Not sure if you've got the flapjacks but when you get them it makes it so much easier as they taste really good...

Nostalgia- The 90's

Dear size 6 Irish colleague, Please stop telling me that I've lost weight and look really slim when you damn well know that I haven't. It really did nothing for my self esteem, if you thought reverse psychology would work and then say that my new diet is going to absolutely destroy me, and that...

Ooooh! Well from someone on day 9 (or 10, can't remember) I can tell you that you hit a wall at around day 3/4 and could find yourself getting really teary and upset. But once you push through that then it starts to get easier. Best of luck, We're all here for you,you'll be just fine. xxxxx

Well done, Elle for not giving in. Days like that can be so hard. What day are you on at the moment? Just keep taking pictures and telling yourself that one day you're going to get there. It's a funny little thing to do on MS Paint but draw bright red lines on a blank canvas to what you want...

I actually don't like them thicker like Helen does, but it's definately worth a try. Also try whipping them up using a blender if you're not already, if you can get more air into them then they taste lighter and more pallatable. My favourite one is the chocolate one, I don't like strawberry at...

I get you :P I'll add you on steam but I don't chat much, just kinda mill around on this, that and the other :P

Haha, yea they've eased up now. I've gone back to my normal dreaming cycle now. But its one dream I won't be forgetting in a hurry: homicidal sammiches. Yum!

I'm a gamer too :o I play on the PC platform and find it easier to engross myself in something like an RPG which requires enough concentration but not as much as a shooter that needs me to aim. (My hands have been really shakey recently) If you haven't already, I'd really recommend the latest...

I wasn't really a coffee person so I tried putting the vanilla in black tea instead. Was really good but still very vanillary. So I make up my tea with about three teabags in a jug, pour it in the blender and then add my vanilla sachet, don't need sweetners for it really. (But I always pop one...

I'll check in with my chemist at the next weigh in to see if we're allowed to take suppliments for it. If not then I'm going to treat myself to a manicure and get some respectable falsies put on. As if there isn't enough stick to deal with being a big girl at a six form college than to have my...

I'm not sure if it's to do with the LT diet or whether it's another underlying issue but lately my nails are really brittle and are breaking really close to the skin and are lifting irregularly causing me to have 'wobbly nails'. I wouldn't mind but it's so close to the skin that it's painful...

Are men only allowed two shakes a day then? On the female lipotrim you're allowed three a day. But yea, if you half them then you could space them out and have the comfort of having more meals. But don't snack inbetween LT is a full meal replacement diet. No food allowed :( xxx

My dreams are silly, my first week I had the same dream where I was being chased by a ham and cheese sandwich and then when it caught me I trapped me between the bread and the ham and the cheese and I had to eat my way out or suffocate. Didn't help my cravings at all.

Maybe it's because I'm still in the throws of Puberty myself but I found that my skin has actually cleared up. I used to get huge cyst like acne on my face and whole forests of black heads and I always had a rigorous facial and cleanliness routine but nothing helped. Now I'm beginning to lose...

I agree with Tom. Take pictures every week and then you can pin-point exactly where it's coming off :D In answer to your thread, day 8 and my bum has shrank by an inch. Woopee.

Hope you're coping well YumyMumy, I find that if your mouth gets bored you should indulge yourself in other bad habits such as chewing pens and pencils. It's not healthy, its not hygienic, but it takes your mind off food for a while. Alternatively, my chemist gave me the flapjacks for week two...

Thank you all for the kind words of support. Today was a fantastic day and I really came out of it feeling good. I was working today and had a 'black tea and vanilla' shake at lunch, but all the powder turned into what looked like curdled milk without a blender! But I persevered and drank it all...

I just had my weigh in today for the first week and oh god it was so tough. I had resisted all temptation and was very very good. So what do I go and do? When my mum refused to eat lipotrim dinner with me. (She said she's going to skip :mad: ) I go downstairs to make up my shake on my own...

Even if you don't, it won't be the end of the world. Just take it in your stride and leave it at that. What's done is done, can't change it, don't feel guilty about it. And if you do lose some then that's even better. xxx

Don't worry, everyone here is going through the same thing so rants are welcome. I'm doing this with my mum, and its hard watching everybody else eat. Sometimes slipups happen. I had my first weigh in today and now feel really guilty cause I stole a penne pasta out of the pan :( Hopefully it...

Definitely not true, although I wish it was. Finished the first week and I'm gagging for a biccy with my tea. Hold out, it'll all be worth it in the end. :)

Its a slippery slope to go back on. Just take it as a blow off and tell your pharmacist that you had a little blip and I'm sure they'll understand. Was it your first week? xxx
