Hi I know it's not on the list provided with the products but does anyone know if spring greens are ok? Thanks x

Also I see the instructions for people with no microwave!! I do not have one - does it make life that much harder? Also hi everyone tee hee too excited sorry to be rude!!!

I I'm already on lipotrim but after doing it since feb and losing just about six stones I've had enough!! I have just ordered my first batch and I'm hoping I did the right thing by ordering the man supply as this seemed most cost effective and I'm sure I read on here people do that anyway?! Am...

Hi sorry to hear of your disappointment but try to remember it's still a loss! And the little losses always seem to be followed by larger ones so keep your chin up!! Besides it's good to keep in mind that the weight loss is just a very good side benefit to the bigger picture - you're changing...

Hiya. I started a few pounds shy of seventeen stone and now I'm low elevens but I think by twelve weeks i was in the 12 stones. I'm pushing on until my goal of eight and a half. I would set yourself mini targets along the way. Also it's nice to have a follow in plan of sw but you may change...

Got to know where that dress is from it's gorgeous xx well done though xx u look great x

I sometimes get weighed bi weekly but only as my pharmacist is pregnant and is having a difficult pregnancy and our appointments clash. It does help sometimes in that if you have a slow week you have another week to bulk it out but it has a down side such as if you slip up and eat you are...

Hi, firstly lipotrim won't eat away muscle if you watch the DVD this is explained - You will only lose fat never muscle. However it will help tone your muscles and therefore reduce saggy loose skin if you use the weights and in many ways is more effective than cardio - which can be a lot if...

Hey - we've been treated (all five of us) to a fortnight, all inclusive, 4 star to Spain!!! (mum in law.) I have eleven weeks to loose a few pounds under three stone - taking me to an eight stone loss in total - before I re feed. I will do maintenance whilst there. If I don't do it in time I...

I'm usually less hungry during the summer too - that's why I'm a bit surprised. Nothing smells nicer than a fresh salad though!! Think I'm just finding this last three stone a hard push. Because I'm already slim it's harder in a way because that motivation not to be massive has gone. I fit...

This reminds me of one of the reasons I started lipotrim - taking the kids to Drayton manor and missing every ride, pretending I was too scared, even on the kiddy rides, because I was worried I'd get stuck or not fit. When one of my sons finally begged me so much I felt I had to go on - Bertie...

It's weird but he just got home and I showed him some pics I found from christmas time last year and despite living together eight years now and being over weight all those years - but only massively the last three years - he was shocked at how big I looked! We both had a good giggle and just...

I agree I too was deluded and thought myself a bit over weight when I was in fact huge. Maybe subconsciously I knew because something inside me pushed me into this diet but on the surface i was kidding myself. The lovely bit is my other half loves me whatever :-) i just learned to love me too...

Lol you all know how I feel about days off ;-) but do what you have to do you'll get there in the end the out come is the same for everyone xxx it's just so ridiculously hard to get back on the wagon - even after one slice of bread with tuna lol - but you can do it and you will do it!! Xxx have...

Thanks daisy and Kay *blushes* it's nice having my face back! X

Able to rub aftersun over my own back. Have lines on my inner thighs where there is muscle definition. Have massive holes in my arm pits - no longer fat filled!! I've got ribs and a pelvic bone and a collar bone. Hardly need make up as skin so clear. Fitting into my face designers who only go up...

I'd be horrified if I was given man shakes!! They should sort themselves out - you're paying a lot of money for their service and you should be treated better!! I think you deserve a rant! :-) I hope it's not long until you reach goal (can't see I'm on my phone) xx

You are right it does depend on me and I'm determined not to regain. If I've the willpower to do this plan it should prove something to people! Some days I have enough energy to run 3 miles and do all the house work etc but others I can barely get out of bed! I'm sure the heat as beautiful as...

Well done!! However not roll on but rolls away!! :-D keep it up xx

Brilliant x there is no feeling better is there?! Xx :-)

Hi, well done on the surprise loss!! I do weigh myself every day and often during a day but I'm never really bothered if it stays the same because I've noticed for days it can read the same weight then one day it will just plummet three pounds or so!! Congrats on your loss though. Well done x

Dear best friend, why are you so scared in a stone or so I will weigh less than you and why does it bother you so much?! Also dear friends, why do you keep complimenting me in one breath and then telling me I'll put it all back on when I eat the next? Do you want me to fail?

Hi, I'd ask for replacements. My pharmacy replace them if I do not like them so I'm sure they would for faulty goods. Which is what they are. Your pharmacy sounds a bit rubbish though. Even if I'm not on time they will always try to weigh me and when they run out of choc which is my fave and I...

Wow you already lost a lot on atkins well done for that! I'm glad you're not too bad on day one. I never had that first hard week really I think we are lucky ones. Good luck with the op - I'm sure you'll reach your mini goal easily if you keep up the good work. I'm amazed though at the way...

Also I'm fed up with people - friends too - telling me I'm going to put it all back on and more when I eat. What a silly thing to say. It's like telling an alcoholic who is going dry you know they'll end up boozing again!! You just wouldn't say that!

Well done for the ninety pounds and keeping most of it off. Good luck on your new journey - I know you can do it!! You're already an inspiration!! X

I had the same about week five - it passes I promise. Just keep plodding on and in a day or two you'll feel better. Xx

Hi, I'm keeping my water up but I'm still a bit more peckish than normal and also finding I get dizzy spells and feel a bit tired more. Anyone else finding the same?

I have never been good at getting my point across without offending someone :) xbut yeah the main forum is there as soon as you open the lipotrim forum on the phone so I can't avoid it. I don't feel any better for not eating though I feel worst like I'm missing out on the little cheats Bd...

Not so much the planned break skinnylove - I suppose if you re feed and do it all above board then that's ok. But a lot of the posts are not about re feeding but just having the meal in the middle of the plan. I never said I was better than anyone for not doing this but I just said it gets me...

Also skinnylove I am sure my food addiction is just as string as the next persons - I'm talking about the amount of posts about planning to cheat. We are only human, temptation is there. Well anyway sorry you found this thread sad but as you said we are here for the highs and lows and this is my...

I haven't stuck to the plan I've had a couple of slip ups and I'm very supportive of people who give in to temptation. But you accuse me of looking down my nose at people who plan to eat but how about the support for me who feels disheartened by these kind of posts? I'm not judging anyone...

Kay that's fab, well done you!! You should be proud!! Xx I'm not perfect and a couple of tuna sandwiches have been my downfall but it's never been worth it or planned. I think starlight said it right it just feels disheartening reading people post about cheating from the outset. Every other post...

Thanks starlight! :-) I feel a bit better now x

Aww em xx you can do it forget about this week and just start again - take it a day at a time. You're so close don't get down or keep falling into the food trap xxx skinny for summer!! :-)

Am I the only one shocked by people taking up this plan knowing they are going/planning to cheat for a special meal/occasion etc? I've had a couple of slip ups but never have I intended to eat. When I signed up for lipotrim I did so intending to follow it to the letter, where ever I may be and...

Hi no you cannot combine the two. There would be no reason to anyway as on lipotrim you don't have a fat intake as such if you stick to it.

As for pcos I know there are a few ladies on here with that that might offer advice. Your stretch marks will fade if you use bio oil and a good body moisturiser religiously - my skin looks great. The acne may be greatly reduced by the diet too - I used to suffer spots but I have clear skin now...

Hiya, sorry you've had such a bad time recently x only you know if lipotrim is right for you. Perhaps if you eat at night and comfort eat it might be a good choice as it will help snap you out of old bad habits. However I was overweight for a long time and tried various diets with little...

Pps I was a size 22/24 when I started around 15 weeks ago and I've lost over 5 st and I'm now a large 14/small 16 on my waist xxxx :-)

Ps if it's clothes for your Hols you want to buy now why not put money into a pot each week and save and just buy accessories for now. Good luck with your lipotrim journey though xxx

Hi, I think it's impossible to say so much depends on your shape. I'm 5th 1 but as I carry most weight on my belly I know that even when I get to ten stone I'll still be a small 14 / large 12 on my waist. Plus clothes in different shops are different sizes.

Thanks everyone x I feel a lot better today and one of my friends even bought me a bouquet of flowers to cheer me up x it's not easy - I think my brain has to have time to adjust to the new me! But shopping dies help and I will start buying things in a twelve I think because a few weeks from now...

I would get someone else you trust to do the tasting - I wouldn't risk my results so far. Once you've eaten it's really hard to re start - plus could you honestly really only limit yourself to a few mouthfuls (which still might knock you out if ketosis and make you gain or sts). It's a small...

Damn phone - not finished! Why would you want to risk all your hard work over one night? There is nothing 'safe' to eat - you could eat pure protein and still gain or sts. How would you feel about that? It would be awful! When you chose to do tfr you must have realised nights out were going to...

Hiya, why do you have to eat something? You can do it without eating, I promise you. I've had many nights out on this diet. Phone the restaurant in advance, explain to them you are a group of however many plus one nil by mouth. They won't mind. You can say -!if you're friends do not all know -...

I've lost five stone or a bit more - I've not been weighed this week and my home scales use silly batteries that I can't find - but this morning when I looked in the mirror I just look so fat. And worst still I still feel fat. I've got the baggiest jeans on which were too small when I...

Well done em you can do it! Don't be tempted and you'll soon reach your target xx :-)you're doing great but you are only human x

Yes - tee hee - I've more energy in every way possible!! Tee hee xxx

Ps just ordered a size 14 yumi dress for in 2 weeks thats incentive xx and maybe wishful thinking x

Oh yes a treat now and then is good!!! :-) tee hee x I would make a rough plan now but be open to different ideas once you get nearer goal you may feel differently :-) xx

Well done I think you could have done so much worst xx I really hope it has zero effect xx you can do this I promise!

Good for you!!! It's great making a roast and not feeling tempted well done you!! :-) tee hee I used to eat so much choc and cake I think it was crazy but now if I have a food craving it's never for sweet things just savoury - this diet works more wonders than just weight loss xxx

Hi, after a lot of thought I've decided against slimming world for after lipotrim. I was pretty certain it was the way forward but now I've serious doubts. I'll tell you why. Whilst the list of free foods is extensive and appealing for someone who had issues with overeating - which lead to me...

tee hee i am so silly when i am out people cant believe its just water!! but i find the best thing is - i can catch the eyes of men checking me out!! not had that in a while! ;)

had to lol at the suggestion of a holiday (sorry!!) but if you get a holiday after one week tfr what do you get after 11?!!! :D i don't think there is a need for massively fancy of epensive treats - the biggest reward is the loss. besides we got ourselves into this pickle and tfr is our chosen...

Hiya, glad you are feeling better. My only advice is be strong. Hopefully your children will distract you enough to not think about the food. It's really not worth it either - if you slip up you will feel awful after and trust me no food is worth spoiling your effort so far! Just get a massive...

Ayup x I buy accessories! I try not to but clothes but I have a bag of stuff ready to use come skinny summer - scarfs, headbands, jewellery, sunglasses, bags, perfume etc! I know these will fit me whatever size I get and then when I finish I can buy a new wardrobe of stuff to go with it!! Well...

Thanks em and daisy x had my shake and not seen it again yet actually feel a lil better for it. Scales still showing a loss!! I'm hoping by tomorrow to be cool. Thanks though!! :-) xxx

Can't speak to my pharmacy until tomotrrow so wondering if anyone here has the answer. I've caught a tummy bug off my kids and it hasn't made me throw up like they've been doing but I'm stuck on the loo if you know what I mean and my tummy hurts a lot and I feel sick. I'm struggling to get the...

Yo Emily ;-) I say stick it out with it as it is - in a couple more weeks your taste buds will change dulled by no food and you may find you like it as it is. I think people forgot this is a total food replacement plan and we are discouraged to add things to shakes etc. I wouldn't risk it...

Oh lol @ three choc shakes!! I used to be a total sweet tooth choc addict but it's not something I want or think about even as I watch two of my three kids munch away now. I'd rather be skinny :-) happy easter xxxx

She did used to eat them in another room so as not to tempt me but as the diet as gone on I've told her she should just eat them as normal -------- This I find very important advice. If you can't watch people eat treats when doing the plan you have little chance of staying away from temptation...

I'm sorry to hear you are leaving but the main thing is you do what is best for you!! And two pounds via healthy eating is fab!!! Well done!! Can I ask did you get your blood pressure tested or are there symptoms? All the best to you though and congrats on what you've done so far xxx

I am lower on my scales and at boots but go by what the chemist says. If you look better and feel better try not to worry about it too much. Also I only replied so I could mention you look like the lead singer from muse in that pic.

Just keep your goal in mind and remember you are doing this to change your bad habits forever! The weight will soon drop off! Good luck xx

It's great when you get to that stage it's such a morale boost! Keep it up! Xx

It's harder because it snaps you out of your routine but try to make a new one for the next two weeks and keep yourself busy. All mine do is eat when it's cold out and they are stuck indoors but I just keep reminding myself of my goal - skinny this summer - and it stops me straying. Good luck x

It is because I have so much energy I never stop!!! I still read posts and well done to all my fellow lipotrimers! I'm now on week nine and mostly it's easy. - once you get a routine it's not so difficult!! I've lost over three stone and I'm feeling great! So to all those still in week one keep...

Wow congrats that must really motivate you to keep on track x well done

You can have mine jamsi!!!!!

Ftr I tried both flapjacks - oh my goodness how revolting!! Tee hee possibly the worst thing I've ever tried and believe me sone vile things have passed these lips including cat food lol

Awww don't be down this will all soon be a distant memory xxxx keep going bevi you can do it xxxx

Glad you didn't put on any weight but don't be tempted to think a little blip here and there won't hurt because it may slow down your losses and it means you are missing the point of the plan entirely ie not to eat :-) x glad you had a super day though ha ha I never even got a chance to eat at...

Thanks for the replies x the pain has gone but I'm keeing a very close eye on it and drinking the required amount of water x done lots of reading up about it so I feel pretty confident now i would know what to look for and what to do x I think the diet could be the reason but who knows might...

I knew I was heading for a small one this week - I weigh myself and I could just tell. I've lost two stones in the first four weeks so I can't say I was a lil disappointed by just 2.2lbs this week but... It's still a loss. There isn't an explanation for it I've been 100% and been drinking my...

Same to you too!!!! :-) x

Hi all - I just woke up as have terrible pain under my ribs on my right hand side. I'm sure it's not related to pleurisy I had and recovered from (which was on the left) besides this pain is different as it is sharp. Well silly me I googled it and your gall bladder is there. I'm sure I read...

Good luck and stay strong x your story is really inspiring I can't wait to get where you are!!!!

Ha you got moved - wrists slapped!!

Eating certain things might not kick you out of ketosis but it could really slow down your weight loss. Plus, for me, the whole idea of doing lipotrim is to remove myself from food completely. Ok I might slip up but I really try hard not to.

Your loss is great x must be very hard with a little one x keep it up and you'll soon reap the rewards x

Hi well I can understand the disappointment - I think I'm heading for a 1bl loss tomorrow x when you are on such a radical and strict diet it's hard not to expect more from it especially when you have been working out etc too. I'm just going to say what I'm going to tell myself tomorrow -...

Congrats on loss btw xxx

Lol I'm looking forward to trying mine tomorrow x salty cardboard sounds ok when you haven't had food in ages! Apparently toasting them makes them better - so does breaking them into little prices and having with a cup of tea

Hiya first of all what is a disappointing loss? X

Thanks everyone xxx I really appreciate the replies x feeling a bit better today the scales are nudging downwards and I've tried a few things on that are looser so I know it's coming off,. I do carry most on my weight around the middle though - that's why I'm on this plan - so for me dress...

That's great keep it up sammie x lol my phone kept spelling sammie as dammit lol I'd love to have left it as keep it up dammit lol xxx

Keep it up that's a brilliant result x good luck

I dont know then - I suppose no harm in her going to chemist to enquire x. I think the weight loss might be quick but then she would still have to refeed. I'm going to go down to ten stone on lt then refeed and shift the last stone at a slimming club just to get me in the right habits. I think...

Hi I weigh myself everyday and try not to let it get to me when it shows I STS but omg when it shows a loss I'm on top of the world!!! So it has more benefits and positives fore because it really makes me happy to see and loss and pushes me to drink more water and exercise more if it STS x

Hi I'm pretty sure you have to have an unhealthy bmi ie it shows you as overweight or obese etc but I could be wrong x

I'm on week five and have lost two stone. I expect things to slow down a little but the scales seem stuck at the moment and I'm worried it's not coming off. I do weigh myself every morning seeing it drop just a fraction is a great incentive I know others might not agree with this but usually...

Hi well no point dwelling on the regain - you have done it once you can do it again and this time will be your last!!! Good luck x

Just to remind you though you need to give yourself time to refeed and maintain or it could go back on very quickly x

Feeling a bit low today it feels like the scales are at a standstill... And can't recall the last time I went to the toilet :( must drink more water and exercise more today I think x

Hiya I lost two stone in four weeks with walking and cycling so I'd say if you stick to it anything is possible x good luck

Can't believe I'm saying this but what a lovely day for a bike ride!

Awww that's great!!! It won't be long before you rock those jeans!!! Well done you x

Fantastic loss well done you x

Keep it up and you'll reap the rewards!! X

Great losses well done!! Have you noticed a difference yet? It's great when you do!!! Oooh and tell us about the pharmacist! X

Great losses keep it up xx

Under 200lbs is a great milestone - you are doing really well don't be disappointed!! Measure yourself too - you may be losing inches x

Brilliant weight loss - keep going!! :-) x

Congratulations keep it up x

Do not be sad a loss is so much better than a gain or even a stay the same!! I'm sure it will pick up next week x

I don't have a microwave!!

I just keep thinking of how fab you can look! It's only short term and pot noodles will still be there when you are finished and slimmer! X

Good luck x

Hi you could have a tummy bug or I understand the large amount of vitamins and minerals in the shakes can upset your tummy for a day or two whilst your body gets used to it. Lipotrim say to try and have a drink before and after a shake to try and dilute it helping your system adjust. Stick with...

Hmmmm if it's breakfast porridge with fresh apple and cinnamon. Lunch a tuna salad with lots of veg and some honey mustard dressing. If it's dinner chicken with veg. I'm not really craving sweet stuff though I wouldn't say no to some bananas and custard YUM

Well here I am 4 weeks today and 2 stones lighter!!! OMG I am a third of the way through!!! Hoping that the rate of loss doesn't slow but I have been through so much these last four weeks a tiny blip, antibiotics to treat my pleurisy, totm but I have over come it all!! The rewards have been...

Lol

That's great keep it up x

8lbs was fine but ten is great keep it up x

The water we drink is meant to help protect us from gall stones on this plan xx

I think it's something to do with the pressure of not eating what I make but yes I like it a lot more too x strange!

I got to give kudos to anyone who restarts I don't think I could do this again x good luck

It's not worth it x be strong

I knew they were hinting we were nothing but I didn't want to be nothing!! :-D and aww that's so sweet. Hope you perked up jamsi!! X

Brill keep it up it's so worth it xx

Having said that week four tomorrow for me and finally the vanilla tastes nice rather than just drinkable - like melted ice-cream lol

So I'm a bit lumpy and taste slightly crap!! Tee hee.

Also all that delicious food will still exist once your done with lipotrim but hopefully by they you might not even want it!!! Just stick with it - food isn't everything!!! Look at all the clothes online that you'll be able to wear and buy soon!!

Hey jamsi first of all let me say don't do it. Don't break the diet. It's just a hard day that happens to be at the weekend - every weekend won't be like this I promise. You've done so well to get to day five don't throw it all away. Maybe your hungry because you are not in ketosis yet, it's...

Wow x I think that's great you've managed to keep so much of it off!! X you'll reach target in no time x good luck and stay strong

Keep it up!! C

Hi try not to worry continue to take it easy and drink plenty of water and if you are still concerned consult your gp x

Hi congrats on daughter and good for you for returning x results are variable and dress size is much depending on body shape but I dropped a dress size in two weeks and nearly fitting into one below three weeks on. I think a stone a month is average weight loss on this program but it could be...

Well done x good luck for day two x it gets easier

Still it's best to try not to eat anything - the main idea is to detach from food completely. I know how hard that can be though...

Well I suspect you could feel dizzy or faint so my advice would be to take it easy the day before and the day you go for the tests. Maybe half a shake or flapjack just this once so you can have something before and something after. And try not to worry - maybe arrange to go with a friend and let...

Oh dear nevermind you are only human!! Pick yourself up and start again. Fingers crossed it's protein and wont bring you out of ketosis but I hope you realise it's just not worth it!!

Thanks guys feeling lil bit better today x never got a chance to phone as was called into work to do some paperwork that's dedication for you but I will enquire and let you guys know ASAP if antibiotics and similar illnesses effect ketosis. It doesn't help I started my period too oh my when...

Mum to three and part time volunteer for a local charity. I don't know if I would cope on this diet in full time paid employment so kudos to those who do x

I appreciate none of us are qualified but I have spoken to my chemist lady about this when I missed just one shake and she said the shakes equate to the very minimal amount of calories you can take and that any less and your metabolism etc could slow. Perhaps the number of calories the packs...

I think you'll find much of this is jealousy - sadly a lot of people don't like to see others succeed. Ha if they say it's dangerous I reply because being morbidly obese isn't??

I don't think it's anyone's right to say you've fallen at the first hurdle or chosen the wrong diet. I find this comment a little rude. Lipotrim offers quick results but is not a quick fix you have to refeed and maintain. I'd much rather completely restrict what I eat than believe you can eat...

Hi are you doing it from a phone or computer? There is a section called tech support maybe there is help there if not you can always contact minimins directly. Once you've joined you can't view your profile, others profiles or private message until you have made a number of comments in other...

Thanks x I found that I was a lil proud of myself for stopping after a few bites because I've read people go much further x I'm back on track and nothing will stop me!! Keep pushing by the way because in two weeks I went from a size 24/26 to a size 22 and in three weeks I'm fitting into size...

I'm on amoxicillin by the way it's good because I don't have to take it with food and although it's coated in a capsule nothing on the ingredients list says it contains anything I think would bring me out of ketosis x hope not anyway

Fantastic well done you xxx

I tell everyone - I live in a little village so gossip is the number one passtime. I thought if I didn't tell people then they'd only start saying id had a gastric band fitted or something. I've had many -oooh don't lose it too quickly- kind of comments and twice as many telling me it's...

Thanks x now I got totm too it's a good job I've no weigh in this afternoon as she is having her baby scanned - roll on next Friday!!

I've got really dry lips but I'm not sure that anything to do with lt x just mention any concerns to your pharmacist xxx hope it gets better soon

Thanks so much jamsi. Xxx think I will still email lt or ring chemist tomorrow just for extra reassurance the doc didn't know what lt was had to explain it to him and I'm such a worrier. I think this is the hardest thing about lt - you can't really take a break - though I suppose you can refeed...

It didn't help he checked me for pulmonary embolism - I'm terrified of blood clots as my gran has DVT and well I'm just so scared he's wrong and i should stop

Thanks so much x one of my main reasons for doing this diet which I've never mentioned before is I'm so scared of dying - and even though I've lost a lot of weight I'm even more scared now. He said it was ok to stick to the diet but one symptom of pleurisy is increased heart rate which I...

Doc says it's not related to diet just hope it doesn't effect my losses x

Keep soldiering on :-) x tee hee a dentists that's tight? Yeah I can believe that!! Glad you are feeling better. Thats still a lot of exercise you can always get back to your normal routine in a day or two. It'll stand you in great stead come weigh days and soon you'll be brim full of energy x...

Also did you use their mouthwash? I'm genuinely thinking of taking my own when I go in a few weeks

Hi sorry to hear you feel low but I think maybe you've really over done it for day three!!! I was told it might be best to avoid much exercise week one even if I'm usually moderately active. You are on a very low calorie diet so your energy levels will be very low a while. I'd take it easy -...

Yummy x lol

Aww I think su is a star for all that x

Thanks all. Re stretch marks I already have a few after three babies but started looking after my skin ages ago to help prevent new ones - I use a mixture of bio oil and firming cocoa butter in morning after my bath and baby oil after my shower at night. I'm so excited now I know it's ok to lose...

Keep it up!!! It does get better - humans are creatures of habit and it's amazing how quickly not eating becomes second nature!! Glad you are feeling happy I hope it lasts until your first weigh in then you'll be over the moon!!! Xxx

Well done for an amazing loss I hope you sorted yourself out with an answer - you could always try posting in the refeed section too? Xx

Thanks su - I've just seen someone with similar losses too (I don't see tickers on my phone so unless they type it out I don't know) so that's reassured me as well. It's a strange feeling though!! Yes I'm forcing those shakes down me I missed one last week and omg never again the day after i...

Also kudos to those who work a busy job whilst on lt don't think I could do it. I work part time as a volunteer but on the paperwork side of things so if I want to fo it home I can. I do manage a household and look after my three kids too but it's not quite the same as going out to work because...

Good for you. You must be thrilled - keep it up xxx

That's brill - it makes me reassured about my own loss as I worried it might be coming off too fast!! Keep it up though and enjoy the results xxx

How fab x how exciting too being so near to goal!! Keep it up - last stretch!! Xxx

Welcome back and all the best x

Brilliant results keep it up xx

No that's all good x be happy and proud c

You shouldn't really miss shakes as they provide you with your daily intake of vitamins and minerals plus if you consume even less calories than supplied there is a chance your body will stop burning fat as it's gone into starvation mode. Better to force yourself to have that last one and do it...

Thanks Amy - I might have to find something to hide loose skin but at least it will be in a decent size!! They took us to France a number of years back it was a place where Brits didn't go - most other families were French or Spanish or German. I was very very aware I was the fattest lady there...

Hoping you are having a better time of it xx

Hope it went well xxxx

Hiya sorry to hear you are feeling I'll x me too have the worst cough/cold ever I'm achey and tired and can't stop coughing. I've managed to just stick to paracetamol but I'm so tempted to take something else... Just hoping I get better soon. Don't worry about your ketosis once you decide you...

I hope you are having a better week too gercol!! It's why I picked this diet - otherwise I would have never broken my bad food habits. Lt is very much an eye opener to me!! I'm tempted occasionally but I just think of my progress so far and I don't want to waste a day of it!!

Awww that's lovely xxxx congratulations!!

Hi I started at 16st 11 nineteen days ago and yesterday and today when weighing myself I've measured in the high fourteens. I want to be pleased but it feels so scary almost like it's too quickly. Because my chemist is pregnant I'm not being weighed again officially until a week this Friday and...

Thanks - and that is exactly my motivation now!! xx

It's cool lol :-) my friend just had an eight and a half hour body lift I'm sure the team looking after her in theatre were very limited to loo breaks during that time so I think it's a good idea especially when you are told to drink little and often. At the moment that means I go little and...

Hiya I think it's a bad idea you have it, sorry. The diet is designed for people with a bmi not in the healthy range for their height. If the chemist refused you it was for a reason. Unless your friend who got it for you loses weight for their first weigh in how will you get a second week? The...

I have come close lots and done it once day six I just took a few bites of something I realised it wasn't worth it and stopped so I was kind of glad it happened! I drool over the roast dinners I make and also tuna and sweetcorn and cucumber sandwiches mmmm smell so good but it's the thought of...

I've had three kids and my bladder is rubbish - I hear ya sister!! You do what you got to do!!! Luckily I can go to the loo at any time but if I was stuck somewhere and had to cough or sneeze and I was full of all my water... Well I'd want to be better safe than sorry too!!!!

Mum in law just offered to pay for us all - all five of us - to go on a 2 week holiday to Spain all inclusive!! Small price to pay going with her and dad in law ha ha but I can't wait!! I'd never have even considered going before I started lipotrim but now I'm actually looking forward to it and...

Hi - if you like coffee mix a teaspoon with boiling water in a cup and allow to cool. Make the shake in your usual way them mix in the coffee to taste. I know some ladies make the whole thing warmer too so it's more like a latte. The coffee is also nice in the choc shake x hope this helps x

Other ideas to going out for meals with friends include you going bowling - it's exercise and not so obvious you are not eating if they grab a burger etc whilst you play. The cinema - you can sneak in a shake and have water. And you could always cook a meal at yours - you can make yourself busy...

Ok I'll play devils advocate - look at it from his point of view. Ok so his social life is going to suffer for a few months but reassure him you can still go out for drinks (sipping water not so obvious as not eating) and that it'd only a temporary glitch and things will be back to normal soon...

Ha I wake up relieved too!! Mmm a plate of chips sounds good at least it's a half decent sleep eat I always think I've got something in my mouth I'm not even keen on!!

I'm not hungry much during the day but I do still have the odd food craving - but fir the last few nights I've woken up panicking there is food in my mouth!! It's really odd - and so real I have to check the cupboards to make sure I'm not sleep eating!! I'm so scared of coming out of ketosis ha...

Just keep trucking xxx you'll be ok x hope you feel better soon

The least you can take away from this is 1. It's not worth it 2. You eat when you're upset. If you learn from your mistakes then you can just write it off as part of the process. Next time grab some water and walk - detach yourself from the situation and instead think of all the reasons you are...

You can do it and when you do there will be no feeling like it!!

Ten stone on lfr/ refeed/mait then the last stone at weight watchers or sw. I went for nine stone because it's nearer to my ideal weight and bmi for my height I could go lower but that's so far off I'm happy with nine - I'll see when I get there I guess!! Besides nine st would make me lighter...

Lol shouldn't this be in the "stickies" section :-p

Oh awesome I've been nagged to ask since I started oh well no excuses now *sigh* lol

Ha ha at spraying the bones with flash!!! I just got tempted by garlic bread so got my son who is nearly a teen and permanently grubby to finger all the left over bits!! I'm not so tempted now!! I do find just shaking the shakes and soups fine though. I've never really had any lumps or...

Tee hee I've had a couple of comments along the lines of 'there is something different about you!' I can't wait for the full on 'omg you look great!' comments though. The best motivation so far is seeing the scales continually move down abd getting into clothes I haven't worn for years!!!

By the way fantastic loss - keep it up!!!

Thanks for this I'm really struggling today - I have two out of three kids sick and not feeling great myself!! Tiredness is one of my biggest food binge triggers!! You've reminded me to look at the bigger picture - and your reasons are great, good luck Monday!! I don't want to be dressed in...

Hiya bex thanks for the reply x yeah I was hoping as I felt healthier and have essentially detoxified myself that my immune system would have benefitted too. I'm just dreading catching it but I suppose if I'm in this program for the long haul I should expect such things and deal with them as and...

Into my third week and doing well - down from 16 st 11 to 15 st 7 and middle son was just sick and has a tummy bug!!! All three kids will probably get it not to sound negative but as chief clearer upper I probably will too!! And dreading what getting sick will do to my energy levels and results...

I'm sure not everyone who views is a member and even if they are not everyone might feel confident enough to post. I'm sure you'll pass on the tempting treats - they will still be there when you finish lt hopefully by then though you won't want them anymore x

Well that's astounding!!! What a flying start xxx well done lol I think I'd have had to strip naked and cut my hair off at the chemists to get near that x

I think a lot if it is psychological! I had convinced myself I was going to hate them and the first made me feel sick but now they go down a treat my youngest even tries to steal them always asking for a taste - which means he wants it entirely!!! I like the soup too which I have at night and...

If you don't like the texture make with a little more water, add ice and drink through a straw and you may find it easier x you'll soon get used to it once your taste buds change

Water makes everything better on this diet I find.

Ha you are perfect for this diet then!! I really think being stubborn helps!! But you could wake up tomorrow and it's kicked in. I can't stress though how important the water is. I sip it from a sports bottle I carry with me but also have bottles dotted round the house in various places - I fill...

I would check with your pharmacist or call lipotrim themselves but from what I gather cough medicine and lozengers both have sugar in which could knock you out of ketosis. You can take paracetamol though x

Hi I know it's hard but have patience ketosis will kick in any time now and you will not feel hungry - apart from when you are due a shake - I promise! Meanwhile and also when ketosis has started make sure you drink your water often because this helps me feel full 100% Don't give in you've...

Hi regarding the rash I've not heard of that. I know my kids get a tummy rash when they are starting with a virus (viral rash) do you feel well otherwise? If you think it's linked to lipotrim I'd give them a call or ring your pharmacist it won't hurt but could it not be the clothes your are...

Hi from someone new!! Hope your first day back is going well! Xx

Oh also I totally get what you mean regarding thinking about what you could eat next. I was totally like that when gran dropped off sack loads of treats for kids I'd look through to see what I could eat. As you say as soon as brekkie was done I'd be planning my elevenses. As for not feeling...

Hi well done for the first stone it's great you should be proud and don't forget IRS still just the beginning of your journey. As you mention you are strong and this diet will test you at times but just think of your goals and the extra confidence you'll garner from the program. Sorry to hear...

I dont go everyday but as already said i wouldn't expect to. I feel no discomfort so I don't think I need anything but if you feel blocked ask your chemist about the fibre clear x

I mixed teaspoon of coffee with lil bit if boiling water and left to cool. When it was cool I made up shake as usual and then chucked in cooled coffee to taste gave it a lil shake and voila! It was nice x I'm going to add it to the choc too I read somewhere on here it makes a really tasty shake x

I think I'm ready for my totm but not worried I know any STS or gain is only temp and week after will show better results! Thanks though x just tried coffee in my vanilla shake for first time it's almost like liquid coffee cake lol yum

And size 22 jeans!! Yup in two weeks I've gone from a 24 to a 22 awesome xx

Just can't believe it the scales say I've lost but I can't see a difference in my tummy but the coat don't lie lol For all those who ate hating week one just think it might not be much longer before you see a difference x

I just had a sneaky try on of my fave red coat no chance but then tried on a lovely caramel coat I picked up in sale but never wore because the edges didn't even meet over my belly (online sale so couldn't return and always thought I'd slim into it!) and I can do it up fully and it looks nice...

Get well soon - keep forcing those shakes down you or you will feel worst and it's bad for you xxx you'll be right as rain soon enough xx

Aww thank you xxx I was tempted tonight - sat night was always treat night - but I know if I started eating I'd not stop x Great advice and thanks and well done again!!!! X

I wouldn't judge the flapjacks on someone else's opinion I'd try them for yourself. I hear they are nice toasted and broken into lil bits but others hate them. I read here chicken soup is loathed by many yet I love it. To the user who said their pharmacy don't do them you could ask them to order...

No you cant take lt whilst pregnant sorry. Not even if you are trying for a baby or breast feeding. If you are pregnant and need to lose weight whilst pregnant - it can be done I did - the doctor will refer you to hospital who will provide specialist advice and supervision on how to do this (I...

You could always put on headless body shots - clothed!!! That's what I plan x

Massive congratulations!!! How inspirational for us and how wonderful for you there can be no feeling like it!!! Bless you for thanking your man too but I bet it did him good to fend for himself a while!!! Since you gave an Oscar style speech I will do the after award ceremony interview and ask...

Welcome back!! Wow what a great achievement already I'm sure once ketosis kicks in you'll sail through to your goal! You sound very determined x best wishes

Ps a stone won't take too long on tfr this you know!!! All the best:-)

I take it you are a strawberry shake fan?! You've done tfr once you can do it again!! Welcome back x

Also any cream is better than none. If you can find a good firming cream let me know - at the moment I'm just using genetic cocoa butter (says it's firming) from boots and bio oil to help reduce the scarabs have already but any I may gain from loosing weight quite quickly (stretch marks) plus it...

Start off gently then when your weight loss slows down you can add to it. To do it safely and not strain yourself you could start walking - not a hike but currently I do twenty mins three times a week round the village at a pace that has me out of breath. I walk everywhere else though but as I...

On missing the shake though I have felt sooo tired all day I've only just got my mojo back. Never again will I miss my shake!

Oh no lipolisa! I have to wash it our first!!! And take a straw out the cupboard!!!! I think you underestimate the effort required!! ;-p

Re too much exercise - this is from some time ago (before babies two and three!) but I think it still stands! I had maybe two and a half stone to lose to be a size ten I wasn't big just a bit chunky lol. I walked maybe an hour a day and because we were poor I ate fairly healthily and...

Brilliant result keep it up! X

Will local takeaway companies please stop posting me yummy menu leaflets!!

It's cool I can't see your stats but how much are you hoping to lose? My only advice is it really does get easier. The temptations are all around but the cravings soon go - and keep siping that water!!! I have my first official weigh in tomorrow (my chemist was away the first week) but I think...

Well done keep it up!! Must be a great feeling to be halfway!!!

Well done keep it up! X

Hiya yes I think you are in the right place. You'll get a lot of support and advice here. Stay positive and remember you can do it!!!

That's what I mean!! Yay thanks for putting it into words for me Denise - if I didn't exercise too the lack of food would seem bit of a waste!! Exercise is the key for me too because I feel I earn my shakes and it makes me happy!! When I think of all those calories I was consuming and not doing...

Wow I really have to use the laptop so I can see the weigh loss tickers but you look great and you're not even at goal!! I also feel the exercise makes not eating feel worthwhile I can't explain this but somehow just to have the shakes wouldn't feel right!! Besides a lil exercise distracts me...

I like my yellow tongue it reminds me I'm in ketosis and loosing weight x

Well that's spurred me on thanks and cool tattoo!! Well done you and good luck on slim and save! X

Has anyone just put some shake into a plastic ice lolly maker then frozen? I'm thinking they would be nice come warmer weather

Ha i have to make a meal for four and then make a shake!!

I though I was quite settled in my shake routine - first one at midday second around five pm and last one before bed (when I used to do all the snacking and am most worried about being hungry!) Well last night I just wasn't hungry and couldn't even force myself to make it never mind drink it...

If I'm honest I was probably eating the same amount worth of food I mean add it up - satuday night take away (my share) probably at least seven quid then a fiver at least on sweets!!! It's a small price to pay to be healthy and slim. I wouldn't buy anything not from chemist anyway as you can't...

Fantastic!! That's just brilliant you must be thrilled!!

I'd ask your chemist who is controlling your lipotrim program for advice and try not to worry about it. Apparently by the time your hair starts shedding new growth is already there. How long have you been on lipotrim (sorry my phone doesn't allow me to see tickers etc) because some thinning is...

I've just prepped the families roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings for tea and made the most delicious looking chocolate and vanilla swirl cake lol it's safe to say I'm addicted to cooking and baking food I can't eat!!!!!!!

Not that I'm aware of it's from the chemists only. There maybe products out there but I'm sure the lipotrim DVD warned they could be fake. There are similar products like slim and save but they differ slightly ie you need to take multivits with slim and save.

Well done for making the decision to do it again - I think that is the hardest bit!!! Two stone might sound a lot to you but I think that is good going and we all know how it creeps back on!!! Remember you have done it once you can do it again and this time your goal is nearer!!!! Good luck x

I hope you managed to get back on the wagon first timer- I think I have learned my lesson x c

That is really good!!!! Keep it up and you'll reach your goal in no time!! I'd be excited too! :-) x
