I was doing my thesis which was due last week so in the run up to that I threw healthy eating out the window entirely. Been struggling to get back on my diet since so yesterday I started using a calorie tracker, hopefully it'll help! Going to the gym every day this week (I only do weight...

Can I join belatedly? In what's left of May I'd like to lose 7lbs :) Camplestar 25lb (8.4 lost, 16.6lb to go) Starlit_Cazza 32lb (22lb lost, 10lb to go) Freyj4z 20lb (6lb lost, 14lb to go) Linzmain 11lbs (5lbs gain, 11 to go) xLouLoux 15.5lbs (14.5lbs lost , 1lb to go) v happy only...

I'm in too, need something to focus on :) I'll also go for a 50lb loss which would bring me to about 14st, that'd be my lowest ever adult weight! Lou 50 lbs to go 0 lbs lost Poppy 50 lbs to go 0 lbs lost Julie 50 lbs to go 0 lbs lost

Fantastic! Well done :)

Hi folks, haven't been on here in quite a while as life is too crazy for Lipotrim right now, unfortunately, and I had to stop it before Christmas. However I've managed to maintain my weightloss which I'm very proud of, been healthy eating and plan to do another stint on LT maybe coming up to...

My size 22 jeans were starting to fall off me and my mum kept telling me to try my size 20s on but I wouldnt in case they didnt fit, had to buy a pair of work pants yesterday and they only went up to a 20, little bit tight but they fit :) I'd say theres a very good chance of your dress fitting...

I might have a new part time job in a restaurant, having a trial run tomorrow... what'll I do if I'm asked to sample food?! Eek, not ideal... really need the money though as I've not been able to get much work in schools since I qualified and parents are sick of lending me money!

You're incredible to stay on it so long, but as they say the thing that works best is the thing you enjoy, so if you're not enjoying it then try something new! : )

Sorry about your leg, that must make it a lot tougher :( I do struggle with this diet constantly, ten days is the longest I've ever managed to stay 100%, but I'm still having losses in my haphazard way so that encourages me to keep trying even if I'm nowhere near perfect. Only you can decide if...

pants

corset!

I had yet another slip up but still determined to never give up so I've been 100% this week and will be weighing in this Saturday too.

I'm the same Marah, had two family birthdays in the last two weeks but I did manage to maintain, have to try hard to stick with it now til my graduation in December

Someone else was asking about this a while back and rang Lipotrim, they apparently said that there's enough folic acid in LT already :)

I was watching a documentary that studied weight and they found that people who had been overweight for a long time, their bodies got used to being a certain weight and thought that weight was normal and healthy. So when they lost weight, their bodies thought that there was something seriously...

Maybe its because you're drinking more, your lips are getting damp and then drying out due to the cold?

I had to buy a strapless bra yesterday for my graduation dress and it's a B-cup! :cry:The band size is still the fecking same though! I hope its just a large fitting bra haha

Hi Emma, yes you should still lose weight as you'd be taking in fewer calories than you're burning, check out the subforum Losing Weight Via Maintenance, there should be more info there :)

Like goose, I've a load of clothes that were too small for me to get myself into! They should do for the next 3-4 stone I'd say :) Good thing too as I'm currently unemployed. I also love Primark dresses and leggings so as I continue to go down that'll be what Im wearing!

Ah here sounds like you all still are quite big! I've always been a C, which I'm fine with, the strange thing for me is that my boobs don't seem to ever change size! My heaviest adult weight was 20.5 stone and my lightest 15.5 and they were still a C, maybe if I get down to 11st they'll be...

Good work Sam, the first day back after a weekend away is the toughest but you'll be back in the swing of things soon!

Best of luck, don't let slip ups stop you :) I know it's hard when friends are drinking and pressuring you to also but you can't let them stop you if you really want this weight loss.

If it were me I'd have the shakes during the night, I don't know that keeping to set times has any effect on your weightloss, I never have mine at particular times and it doesnt stop me losing.

I get obsessed but I don't have a scale in my flat, only when I go home to my parents' house. I try not to bother weighing myself unless its in the morning before my shake but its so easy to get into the habit of hopping on every time you go to the loo!

Good job avoiding carbs, do get back on the shakes as soon as you wake up tomorrow and don't let yourself have a "long weekend", I've done that before and then felt guilty! I think this thread should probably be in the main forum as this one is no food talk though?

BM I suppose you could just say thanks for noticing, that you've been trying to lose weight, and unless they ask specifically what diet you're doing you needn't mention Lipotrim. Even then you could just say you're on a GP controlled diet or something?

Thank you! I'm so pleased about it that I easily withstood my parents eating takeaway tonight :bunnydance: Bring on the next stone bracket! :D

Thank you! :D

Good luck Kellie, you can do it!

Thanks happychicken :) I had to collect my parents from the airport after the party so it was a great excuse for not drinking :rolleyes: Have fun picking out your outfit, that should help you stick to the plan. I was tempted by nibbles but thought, theres just no point breaking my diet for...

The weekend has begun! Hope everyone's doing okay so far :) My parents just got home from their hols and I'm in their house so I think tonight will be my biggest challenge- they usually get a takeaway the first evening back, but I want to stay focused because I have just over 5 weeks left til my...

Very very very well done!! Chocolate is my nemisis haha :17729: I'm also really proud today as I was at a Halloween party last night til 4am and nothing but water passed my lips :) Ready to conquer the weekend 100%!

YIPPEEEEEE! :thankyouthankyou: I've lost 6lbs this week, I'm so so happy! Finally gotten into the 18's!:D And so proud of myself as I went to a Halloween party last night and just drank water and avoided all the goodies :)

I've forgotten to update! So far in October I've lost 14lbs :) Still a few days left, but today was my last weigh in of the month.

I forgot to update my losses for October, oops! I'll pledge another 15lbs for November please :) Weigh-in is Saturday

I'm off to a party tonight so wondering if anyone else will be dressing up :D I'll be a creepy doll, I have high mary-jane shoes, black and white striped tights, doing my hair in curls and will be trying out the fake lashes! Still waiting on my dress though, it's a black one with a full skirt...

For all my self promises I had a terrible weekend again last week :devilangel: I really don't care how many times I slip up though, I'm determined to keep going. Fall down 7 times, get up 8! I've been 100% since Tuesday and when I popped on my mum's scales last night I was finally well below...

I was going to say the same as others, your head being in the right place is half the battle. I tried to start Lipotrim several times over the summer but I just wasnt ready, I started again this month and even though Ive had slipups Im so determined not to let that stop me. You only fail if you...

Auxie if you decide to quit the diet and feel that youre not up to it right now of course thats up to you, but please don't feel discouraged. We all slip up sometimes and the important thing is to get back on the horse, so I just hope you think about it fully before making your decision. I mean...

Its not all water weight but part of it is. I know how you mean, my weightloss stalled for a while and I was disgusted, its horrible to starve all week and then not lose ANYTHING. Usually when people have a small weightloss one week they'll have a big one the next week or even the week after :)

Don't beat yourself up and DON'T use it as an excuse to eat more! If you just get right back on 100% you'll still lose this week :) And send your OH on here so we can scold him for tempting you!!! :nono:

From what I've seen your pharmacist is right, most of the time people lose a lot in wk 1 (water weight), a small loss in wk 2 and then an average loss in wk 3 :) Try not to obsess about it, if you're sticking to 100% and drinking lots of water theres nothing more you can do.

Amazing! You're so inspiring, well done m'dear!:553:

Hey Suzie, as discussed in some other threads you should be careful not to overdo it with the exercise as it somehow slows your weightloss! Everyone loses weight at different rates but I think you can definitely lose another stone at LEAST in six weeks, possibly two. Some people have lost even...

Heya hun, Ive been the same the last couple of weeks I've not lost BUT then I got so fed up that I ate and so I put ON a pound! Don't do what I did, it was so stupid and I'm kicking myself now :( I said in another thread that my pharmacist told me she didnt lose for three weeks in a row when she...

Great job! And I second that, give me some of your willpower! Ive got parties Friday and Saturday night and I really want to stay 100% for them :hide:

I'm gearing myself up for this weekend already haha, I will be 100%! I will I will I will!

Wow :eek: That's the most I've heard of anyone losing. Well I suppose if they used the same scales to weigh you last week then it should be correct? Whether its 13 or 20 you still did fantastic, keep it up :) You might have a small loss next week but it'll probably even out the week after anyway.

Ms R you're so right, need to accept that Im probably always going to struggle with my weight, but I'd rather be struggling and slim than struggling and fat like I am now :sigh2: I was starting to get miserable earlier and had to sternly remind myself that I CHOSE to be on this diet because I...

Hang in there hun, starving myself and think I'll have to go to bed early :(

Good luck hun, you're not the only one who's stopped and put on, but its better to try again than to give up!

Definitely no exercise in the first week, and I'd say all the walking you do is probably enough, though its up to you if you feel energetic after the first few weeks you can easily over exercise on this diet.

...not to be able to eat? I was just pondering this because of the title of krazychic's thread about her first week. A lot of the time when Im on Lipotrim I feel fine, upbeat, often not even hungry, especially in the mornings, but other times I just feel like crying because I want to eat SO...

I've lost a stone and a half and nobody's really noticed, but I found a photo taken before I started Lipotrim and oh my God my face was so round and puffy! I was horrified! I think because Im so big to start with probably nobody will notice til I've lost another three stone, but the important...

I really don't know, hun, maybe the best thing would be to ring Lipotrim themselves? Pharmacists dont always get it right either so you should go straight to the source :)

I think its that the first week or so youre not supposed to do any, but after that you can go for walks and other light activities like that?

Thanks Pierce, a prefix would probably help. Ms R, it was my understanding that it was only the 'Lipotrim TFR 100%' subforum where talk of cheating was not allowed, so while it wasn't my intention to make anyone feel bad that I mentioned food on this thread, it is in a forum where that kind of...

I suppose just moderate exercise, drink all your water and try to stick to the 100%! Good luck, you'll get on much better with your operation having lost the weight :)

Hi Sandy, great job on maintaining your loss and good luck for your second round, I'm sure you'll do great this time too :)

I heard somewhere on here that youre not supposed to have more than one flapjack a day :confused: I think it might have been to do with chewing rather than it being less effective though, as in it was more like eating and might make you want to eat more.

Heya Kerry yep you can have peppermint or green teas as long as theyre not fruity ones :) goose I tried the chicken soup this week and it was actually fine! It tastes like chicken soup in the same way that the shakes taste like a normal milkshake... only vaguely and a bit bland! Its fine...

Thats such a brilliant loss, well worth it to see that on the scales I bet :) Good luck for week 2, hun, the headaches will hopefully go away now.

Essentially this thread was a place to confess that we'd had bad weekends and support one another to get back onto 100% and try to stick to it this time. Nobody was saying that it was a good thing that we broke the diet, nobody was advocating that it was okay to pick at food while doing this...

Don't worry hun, you're not the only one. Back on the horse tomorrow, we can and will all do it!!

Haha, I don't know why they'd bother, its not as though children are going to be using a dieting support site :rolleyes: Right Hanellis, you're in it now too! One week, no eating, girls! We've to hold each other to it!

I'll make my confessions too, went out to a concert with my little brothers (who are both taller than me, hmph!) last night and afterwards we went out to eat and I had a hotdog, chips and onion rings, and some of a chocolate shake :break_diet: How about we both just wipe the slate clean and go...

This diet is definitely not for everyone so dont feel bad if you decide its not for you, but I would also say don't make that decision based on other peoples opinions. Not everyone finds it easy to get their head around how this diet could possibley work/not be dangerous, I usually avoid talking...

Beckii my birthday is the same date as yours!! :) Trying to hang in there myself, it's so hard and I havent lost anything in nearly two weeks which is just ridiculous on a date as extreme as this >:(

Me tooooooo! I love it, specially the ones with loads of meat haha :) Last weekend I was off Lipotrim cuz I was away and I didnt feel like watching them at all, as soon as I went back on the shakes I was mad for them again.

You do get hungry, but I suppose something this diet made me realise is that its normal to be hungry, really hungry, when I'm not on it I'll just graze constantly and I never really get hungry! Sometimes on Lipotrim I'll feel ravenous but if I make myself wait half an hour it just goes away!

Espresso should be fine as its just coffee :)

And restarting yet again! Third time lucky I hope :P I've been back on TFR for two weeks now but seem to have hit a plateau at 19st, weigh in is Saturday so fingers crossed I'll have gotten into the 18s by then! Been 100% except for last weekend when I went away with the girlies for a 30th...

Keep at it hun, you can definitely make your goal before christmas and think how stunning you'll look! Its only six weeks out of your entire life, it has to be worth just giving up six measly weeks of food to have a lovely figure, right?!

I hate that feeling! Chug some water and go to bed hun, hopefully you wont be too hungry to sleep, and then when you wake up it'll be shake time!

I think they recommend you avoid exercise for the first few weeks til your body adapts, hun, I'd take it easy if I were you. You definitely can only have the three shakes a day.

Sure I was making rice krispie buns for a party at the weekend and stuck the chocolate covered spoon in my mouth! At least chicken isnt the worst, hopefully wont even take you out of ketosis :)

Getting a bit paranoid now, I never use anything for my breath as I hadn't noticed anything bad about it, hope I havent been stinking the place up!

Very well done on getting halfway hun, thats brill! The second half should be even easier to stick to cuz you've already had results :) Bet you can just taste those size 10s!

Good luck Marah, it can be tough at times but just keep thinking how lovely you'll look on your birthday!

65 in Shankill too, used to be 60 I think but still so expensive in comparison to the UK!

Happy birthdays girlies! Well done to you both, very impressed! You're right though, there will be other, skinnier birthdays :) Hope I can resist for mine in December, I'll try to be as strong as ye!

Hiya Gercol, its my third try at Lipotrim too, and I'm planning to do the same as yourself and take a break for Christmas before going back to it :) I'm going to just try my best to stick to it but if I slip up then so what! You only fail when you stop trying, so just brush yourself off and try...

I think you should stop thinking about it altogether! Just stick to the diet until youre happy with what you see in the mirror, if that happens before you get under 10st then so much the better :) And if you do go under 10st and then decide you look too thin, well sure we all know how easy it is...

Heya FnM, I'm a student too and Lipotrim is even more expensive here in Ireland! I just think of it as, if I'm buying this then Im not spending anything on groceries, so it evens out. You definitely could not just do two shakes a day, I think that'd be dangerous to your health.

Well I'm not sure what I was to start with but by my own scales it was 19st 7lbs, I weighed in yesterday at 19st. Bit frustrated with that because the last two times I've tried Lipotrim I've not been able to get past that weight, my own scales says Ive been 19st since Monday, so my body seems to...

I use a hand blender and a jug to mix mine, but that doesnt help if youre out of the house I suppose!

M&S is torture, specially the bakery! I find its really helping me to stick to the diet knowing I have a date to work towards, I can tell myself "It's ONLY x amount of weeks out of my life! Its not that long til I can eat!"

Well done hun :) I restarted last Thursday so Im on day 9 now and not been too tempted so far. I'm trying to lose at least two stone more by December too. Weigh in tomorrow so fingers crossed! Hope you do well too, are you weighing on Monday?

Yeah I think she said 9lbs after that. Weightloss is a funny thing, it should be so predictible just burn however many more calories than you consume and you'll lose a pound, but our bodies can be so stubborn!

Hiya Nickie :) Don't worry, six stone is absolutely doable! Try breaking it down to a stone at a time, that way you've got more manageable goals and you'll feel so accomplished each time you've lost one. Look on the bright side, you're tall so your healthy weight is higher than a lot of us! I...

That's hard Tigger :( My pharmacist did it herself and was telling me she had no losses for three weeks in a row once! It was because she was retaining fluid apparently. I'd go mad!

That's fab, maith thú! This time next week you'll probably be in the 13s, bet that'll help motivate you :)

So impressed, well done! I think that overhauling your diet kind of sounds like easiest way to lose weight, but in reality is the hardest. Changing your eating habits for good takes a lot of willpower!

I think usually people lack energy in the first couple of weeks and it picks up after that, sometimes you even get a bit hyper :) Theres nothing you can really take except coffee I think : / Good luck for today!

By my own scales Ive lost about 6lbs since Thursday, getting officially weighed in on Saturday so hope it'll be a good one!

I'm sitting here feeling slightly sick and BORED, I want to eat just for something to do and because it tastes nice *SIGH* I'm doing substitute teaching at the moment so I'm not working most days but its hard to plan other things to do :( This evening I have a 'mystery shopper' expedition to...

Well done, you look amazing! I'm trying to lose weight for my grad too, those photos are forever, eek!

Haha, I was just thinking about this yesterday, I'm the same. Wishing it could just be next week's weigh-in already so I'd know how much closer to my goal I was! I have so much to do in the meantime though, just don't want to think about it.

Yep in! I neeeed to lose three stone by December!

Good job Lindsay! My family had chipper, but I didnt even look at it. I've been hungry on and off but if I ignore it then it goes away. I found a photo of myself before I started Lipotrim in April and I look awful, I lost a stone after that but then came off it for the whole summer, I'm raging...

Wow well done Peggysue!! Hope I have a good result next week as it'll really be 10 days worth of lipotrimming :) Doing okay so far but my mum went and got fish and chips for tea and I had to sit and watch them and try to be smug about all the fat they were consuming.

Is anyone else for Saturdays? I restarted by myself a few days ago because I had some left over sachets, but Saturday is my day to weigh! :) Wasn't able to be weighed this time due to pharmacy problems, but if anyone else did today let us know how you got on!

I do think with this diet there's no point starting unless you're ready to really be dedicated to it, I wanted to start last week but the idea of the shakes made me feel sick. Yesterday I woke up and was just like "Right I'm doing it." and it was much easier then. Sometimes I find standing in...

You're doing fantastic pet, don't give up now! If it's any help my dad is a doctor and he watched the dvd with me and said the diet seems fine. The way I look at it, if I stay this weight then my health is definitely in danger so I'm better off losing even if its fast. At least with lipotrim...

Im the same, started today and feel good despite having had a cold for the last few days. I have my graduation on December 4th and a size 14 dress to fit into so I just have to stick to it this time!

The hardest one I found was one of my friends who is diabetic and was really alarmed about the diet sending you into ketosis, as she said that being in ketosis was really dangerous and something she always had to avoid. I could only say that it was a medical diet and I supposed it mustn't be...

I just started back on Lipotrim today, could I join? I pledge to lose 15lbs in October :)

Wowzers :eek: You're doing absolutely fantastic, well done! I'm going to make it my mission to be more like you from now on :p

Heya hun, welcome to the forum :) Lipotrim is a tough diet but the results are well worth it, well done for deciding to give it a go and good luck for Monday, we're here if you need to have a moan!

Honk for day 11 :)

I look at clothes online that I want to wear, watch a movie with a bottle of water beside me, or call someone to have a moan :) You could also try having a bath, then moisturising yourself all over (that takes me a while), doing your toenails etc. Bit of pampering!

Personally I don't see the point in drinking unless I'm going to get drunk, which I wouldn't do on three G&Ts! I don't drink alcohol for pleasure, tastes nasty unless its something full of sugar. So I suppose it depends on whether you think that many drinks will do anything for you or if its...

I did it for three weeks in April and lost a stone and a half, then stopped without refeeding for two months and put back on half a stone, now Im on week two after starting again. It really isn't the kind of diet you can do unless you're in the right mindset so if you don't feel like you can...

Hi Louie, unfortunately everyone has different tastes so I don't know which one you'll like the best; personally I don't like the strawberry or vanilla and I only drink chocolate with some coffee in it. Maybe ask your pharmacist to give you one of each to try?

Heya, I know this isn't the 'right' way to do it but if you feel like you'll be able to get back to Lipotrim strictly the next day, and you won't be drinking any alcohol, I'd say just go for the meal without refeeding; in the end you'll be eating less food that way. I know this is not for...

Sinead- total loss to date 4st 13lbs, 4 stone 8lb to go JaneN - total loss to date 4lbs, 2 stone 3lb to go newgirl-x - total loss to date 19lbs, 2 stone 0lbs to go Blue Butterfly - total loss to date 6lbs, 92lbs to go Rigby - total loss to date 2lbs, 41lbs to go jules81 total loss to date...

Honk #9, not feeling great though :(

Quite alarmed this evening as I had the opposite problem! I've been constipated the past week and then today decided I was going to drink extra water and suddenly had the runs in a major way! That's not happened to me before on this diet!

Even though you do lose a lot of water weight in the first week it doesnt necessarily mean youre going to put it all back on, particularly if youre going straight to another diet. I think it could well be worth your while going on it for a couple of weeks as you may lose a stone in that time, if...

That's tough hun, but you can definitely do it! Don't think of it as what other people are telling you to do, its what YOU want. You're in charge of what goes into your body and you will do it, and be beautiful and healthy for Christmas! How much are you trying to lose before your breast lift?

Good luck today Nikkie! The first few days can be tough but we're all here to support you and the weigh in at the end is SO worth it!! :) x

Heya, definitely do the maintenance programme for a few weeks after you've lost that half stone, it'll ease you into eating again :) I'm thinking of doing SW myself for the last stone or so, I think it might help me get my head around portion sizes and stuff, thats one of my biggest problems...

Hi Laura, I'm trying to lose 5 stone by December so we're sort of in the same boat! I find having a goal to work towards is really helping me stay on track this time as I keep telling myself I only get ONE chance to look good in my graduation photo so there is no room for cheating! I have to...

Heya, wow you've done amazingly so far! It's disappointing when it slows down but I think you're right and should hang in there til the date you'd planned. How many weeks have you been losing 2lbs for? You never know, you might get another big loss before September : )

Hi Jo, welcome back : ) I think we took breaks about the same time, haha, ah well back in the saddle! Instead of a brownie you can have a delicious chocolate shake :p Don't worry, I'm sure you'll lose that two stone in no time, especially if you've to run around after a baby!

It's tough alright helen but keep up the good work! You do stop feeling hungry after a few days, I couldn't even finish my third shake yesterday. Sometimes I find I can be starving but if I make myself wait about 30 minutes it'll go away, so whenever I'm tempted by anything I make myself wait :)

Honk #8 :)

Thanks! Think I'll give it a go, at least when I start work in September chicken soup would seem a bit less conspicuous than the shakes! : )

manseydoll I think they purposely don't make them taste too nice so that you won't want to overeat on shakes! I'm on day 8 and feeling good, it definitely gets easier after the first 3-4 days so anyone on their first week, don't worry! I'm not having my first weigh in til Saturday which is...

When I started in April I lost 11 lbs the first week, 4lbs the second and 5lbs the third... went off it for a couple of months and started again last Wednesday, have lost another 8lbs since. The first week you do this diet you will almost certainly lose a lot if you stick to it 100% :) After...

Honk for day 7/70! A tenth of the way there :)

I'm on day 7 of 100% and I'm really proud to say I've not cheated once :D Except in my dreams, it seems... woke up this morning in a panic after dreaming that I went to McDonalds!! Has anyone else had dreams like that? :rolleyes:

I'd like to join! My graduation from uni is the 4th of December and I have a size 14 dress already bought- need to go from 19st 5lb to 13st 5lb by then! 6 stone! If I stick to Lipotrim 100% I know I can do it :character00115: Then I plan to maintain over Christmas! Sinead- total loss to date...

Lipotrim has less than 500 calories for all three sachets combined so way less than the ones youre using, I don't have my bag with all the nutritional values with me right now to tell you exactly. You can't have flavoured waters or diet soft drinks as youre supposed to cleanse your palate so you...

I haven't tried the chicken soup yet but I'm a bit curious after four weeks of chocolate shakes; does anyone know if its allowed to add garlic powder? I love garlic and I've been craving it a bit!

Don't be too hard on yourself nicb, I fell off the wagon a few months ago too and have only gone back to it this week. Just channel all that frustration into being completely 100% for the next two weeks! Everytime you feel tempted remind yourself how you feel right now and how p*ssed off you'll...

I haven't heard of that before, and would have assumed the shakes were actually good for your teeth as theyre sugar free and there's no food particles getting stuck in your teeth :confused: I hope you get sorted out soon, dental pain is awful x

The Thai restaurant below my bedroom window have just started cooking for the evening- sob! Oh well, two more lovely shakes left to have!

How's it going lads? Hope you both had great losses for your first weigh in : )

Well after my last weigh in at the start of May I went COMPLETELY off plan, had my final exams and then there were celebration lunches for my results (I'm a qualified teacher, whoopee!!! :D) and three weeks at Irish College in July. I'm back with a vengence now though! Started back on Lipotrim...

Haha, I'm the same Colette can't go near the bathroom without weighing myself! I think the scales in there are past their prime though so I don't trust them anyway. Good luck and welcome back Natwaa, I've just started back this week myself having done three weeks in April and lost a stone and a...

Honk for day 5 even though my extended family were over and mum made roast chicken, I'm so proud of myself!

If you only have one weeks worth of Lipotrim thats even more incentive to stick to it 100%! As others have said hopefully you'll be in the 14s by the end of the week and then you'll only have just over a stone to lose before uni, I'm sure you can do it :)

Typo, was meant to be 19 not 9! God I'd love to be 9 stone haha! Ah well slip ups happen unfortuntely, most important thing is that you're getting back on the horse :)

Forgot to Honk! for day 4/70 yesterday, doing good today, day 5, too :)

Heya, well I've just been weighed in at 19st 5lb so Im up 5lbs from when I last was at the pharmacy in May, but it means I've lost 2lbs since Wednesday so that's a start! And I least I managed to level off and not go all the way back to my starting weight :rolleyes: Could be worse. How're you...

End of day three Im feeling fine, had a splitting headache for a while yesterday though. I'm not really hungry but I have been craving bread and such, avoiding the kitchen cuz I'm tempted to stuff something into my mouth everytime I go in there! I have to get weighed in tomorrow though as I only...

I think thats probably dangerous as youre not getting all your calories and nutrients :( Im sure your boyfriend will understand if you have your third shake in the middle of the day, or if you really want to stick with him maybe split the third one in half so youre having one and a half sachets...

Honk 3/70!

I'm also hoping to lose 3st in 7 weeks! :) Have a citybreak booked in October and I'd love to be down to 16st-something by then, currently 19st 7lb and started back on Lipotrim on Wednesday.

Mind you're still getting your three liters of water in Peggysue! Are you doing one shake in the morning and two in the evening or the other way around? I think if I were Muslim I'd stay up all night and sleep all day during Ramadan!

Honk 2/70. Sigh.

I would say don't bother! It's not worth it for just one or two drinks, stick to your guns and you'll feel amazing the next day and so proud of your willpower!

Back on Lipotrim and 10 weeks til my weekend break! Honk day 1/70!

I've done Lipotrim before while working in a restaurant and it was tough! I've just qualified as a teacher and I'm not sure how I'll manage when I start work in September, there are always nice things floating around in staff rooms, and I'll be subbing in lots of different schools so I think I'd...

Brilliant! Are you exercising too?

I just think of it as extra exercise! Usually I can sit on the couch for hours without moving but now I have to hop up every 20 minutes to pee :)

Honk for Friday, started back on it after four weeks so I guess back to day 1!

Usually you lose less in your second week and then more in your third, so I'd say give it at least three weeks before you decide whether its worth it. You're supposed to lose a stone a month on this diet, not a stone a fortnight!

Bryony, I'm aiming for December too, my graduation is then :) Looks like we have about the same to lose, too!

I have to say, BettyBoo, you should report to Lipotrim that your pharmacy didn't tell you everything about the diet, that's not on :( It's actually quite dangerous, too. Not everyone would have found this site and gotten Kozza's great explanation!

Did three weeks of Lipotrim, lost a stone and a half, then had final exams and nice weather and went off it completely for a whole month :cry:I'm so upset with myself, I could have been another stone down by now and instead I've put on half a stone at least :sigh: Back to the shakes this...

I think it's a good idea to go lower as long as you're still within your healthy BMI, just in case you have any temptations around Christmas :S You're doing great, keep it up! You'll be a beautiful slim bride :)

I get starving sometimes on this diet but if I wait an hour at most it goes away :) Worth it in the end!

Wow, look at your waist! Fantastic :)

Starting back to Lipotrim today so I'm definitely in, I want to lose 20lbs by the end of June!

Good job hun! I fell off the wagon and put on 8lbs so Im a bit pissed off too, starting back to it today and kicking fats' ass!

I'd say you should do a refeed for the week coming up to your hen, its really dangerous to drink if youre on 100% so don't risk it! Don't drink too much either, as other people said your alcohol tolerence goes down :)

I slipped up again today too :cry:Starting tomorrow, seven days of 100%, alright girlies? :character00115: I'm challenging myself to it!

You poor thing, I hope youre feeling better now :(

I don't understand why everyone cares so much about whether you're eating or not, does it really effect them?! I'd say don't eat and make a point of being very upbeat and chatty so they see you don't need to eat to be/have fun! When people comment that the diet sounds unhealthy I say "Being fat...

Last Sunday I only drank about a liter of water and I was constipated, it was really painful to pass, so definitely keep drinking that water! I find that I'm constantly thirsty on this diet anyway so that makes it easier, and I always drink it out of a liter bottle with a sports cap that I just...

We do! The spaghetti wasnt even amazing either, it was so bland! :rolleyes: Pointless!

I told myself I wasn't going to do it third week in a row but I broke it today too, had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and snacks too. I know its bad to do and Im probably in and out of ketosis but I think I'd go insane otherwise, and I have had no problem going straight back to shakes the...

I'm 5'7" and pear shaped- currently wearing a 38C bra but my hips are about 55 inches. At my highest weight (20.5 st) I was a size 24, at the moment (19st) a size 22, just squeezing into size 20. My lowest weight was 15.5 st and I was just barely getting into a size 18 at that stage, even though...

I've just finished my last teaching practice placement and I don't think I could have given up chocolate before/during that either, so maybe you should wait til you're done. My friends who were addicted to smoking were the same! During that time I was eating chocolate several times a day, then I...

Duck plum sauce with boiled white rice, about a 3 right now but definite 5 yesterday!

Well done! Thats brilliant :)

Lost 5 lbs on todays weigh in (week 3) :) Happy out!

How are you getting on so far hun? :)

Honk day 20 :)

Congrats Laina, you're fantastic! :D

There are illnesses that weaken your immune system, perhaps you had better make an appointment to have some tests done in case there's an underlying problem, if youre worried? :(

I only drink the chocolate ones :rolleyes: Hand mixer, ice cold water, and at least once a day I add a teaspoon of coffee. I've made them hot with coffee or peppermint tea but I'm not mad about the taste then tbh.

I just finished my teacher training and Im so happy I went back to college and did it, I love it so much :) If you can, I'd suggest doing some voluntary work in a school to see how you like it first.

Here's my little munchkin, Panda At the beach with his cousins (that's my brother's girlfriend they're ganging up on) He likes playing with bottle caps and trying to steal some of my Lipotrim shake at dinnertime :)

Well done, keep it up! :) Just be careful not to drink -too much- water, my pharmacist told me more than four litres can actually be bad for you, specially if you drink too fast, and to aim for around three.

Thank you to my brother for trying Earl Grey so I wouldn't have to be tempted by milk while making us tea :p

Thank you to my brother for trying Earl Grey so I wouldn't have to be tempted by milk while making us tea :p

honk for day 18 :)

Steph, if you're having Summer Fruits does that mean youre doing the maintenance diet? If so you can have two shakes and a meal.

Heya, you definitely need to have all three shakes, otherwise your health really might suffer :( Even if you need to hold your nose and just swallow it! Are you struggling because you find it too much at one time or because you don't really like them? Youre not supposed to break up the satchets...

Don't worry about it Em, it happens! I've broken my diet both Saturdays after being weighed in so far, I know it means I've to start again with ketosis but like you I had to just get the cravings out of my system, and it worked too. I've been totally 100% other than that, got a dinner to go to...

When I'm at home I dont have much choice but when I'm at my parents house there's a particular shaped glass that just feels nicer to have my shake in, haha :)

Honk day 15 and 16, on my way to 17 by the end of today :)

Urgh, binged last night :break_diet: I definitely CANNOT take days off, I just have no self control :cry:As soon as I let myself eat, I eat everything around me. The shakes feel so safe because I know I can't have more than what's in the packet. I WILL NOT let myself do this next weekend...

I was just saying to my mum that this diet is so extreme I don't even get the chance to miss chocolate, instead I miss the most basic things like toast! And I'm a total chocoholic :rolleyes: The first few days are definitely the worst, stick with it!

Well done! :)

4lbs this week, not so bad :) I havent really done any exercise so I should try harder for the next week.

Great job Emma! Hope week 2 is going well so far!

Because Im in college by 9 and have to go home at 1.30 for my shake I usually have mine at 8.30, 1.30 and 7.30 during the week, I drink tons of water after my last shake and I don't find that I'm hungry going to sleep usually. My worst time of day is between 5-7pm for some reason :( Of course on...

After one week I was able to WEAR these size 22 jeans that have been in the drawer for months, and four days later theyre not as tight! :) You do start to notice some results straight away which is really satisfying. I was starving all this evening and tempted to go to the Chinese (its just...

I was reading an article a while ago that said if a skin firming cream really did work it would have to be prescription only, so I'm inclined to agree unfortunately :( Exercising along the way helps though, and some people on here said that after a year of maintaining their weight loss the skin...

Lads you've no idea how close I was to getting a Chinese tonight! My little brother was wonderful and talked me out of it though, and I remain 100%! I was having really bad cravings for honey spare ribs, which Im sure would have ruined me altogether :rolleyes: Anyway, weigh in tomorrow!

Honk day 13 thanks to my brother encouraging me :) <3

I'm a full time student, just finishing my degree in primary education (one week left, woohoo!). Hoping to get subbing for the rest of the school year, then next year it'll be subbing by day and working towards my honours degree at night :)

Starting to be a problem for me, I'm finding it easier to go after drinking a bunch of water though. Hoping it won't affect what the scales say tomorrow!

Nice to meet you Harriet, good luck today! :)

I was craving fried rice so bad this evening! For some reason I always crave between about 5-7 in the evenings :/ Anyway, stuck to my water. One more day tomorrow and then weigh in Saturday morning, woohoo!

Honk day 12!

Thanks girls, I was just reading the sticky about alcohol the other day, shocking stuff! Think I'd rather stay off the carbs and alcohol than refeed for just one day, I'm not a big drinker anyway and this way I can drive :)

Honk for day 11 :character00116:

I think doing some exercise along the way is definitely helpful to stop your skin gettin too saggy, also you might gain muscle alright but the more muscle is on your body the more fat you burn too!

Would that tiny amount of cake batter knock you out of ketosis? :eek: Good luck with your refeed anyhow! <3

Hiya, in May I'll be having a dinner with my classmates and lecturers from college to celebrate us finishing our degree, and the day after I'm going out for lunch with my parents. I plan to be 100% up til the dinner and to go right back to the shakes after the lunch, should I refeed for the week...

You look brilliant Carly, what a difference! :)

Honk 9 and 10 :)

That's what I do too, so now I keep thinking how if I stick to it, when my graduation comes around in December I'll be saying 'Thank god I started when I did, now I'm lovely and slim!' instead of 'Why didn't I stick to the diet?' ;)

Great job Owen! :) It's tough to resist all that temptation but sooo worth it!

LOL thats hilarious! :rotflmao: Bit mad that she thought him having an affair, with your kids in tow, was a more plausible explanation than it possibly being a skinnier you though!

Oh no hope it clears up :( I sometimes have cravings even though I'm not hungry too, it's weird. Starving today though, might be the weather! Pissing rain :badmood: in lovely Ireland! :)

I was going through my clothes yesterday and I have at least ten pairs of size 20 jeans that haven't fit in over a year, along with a couple of pairs of 18s that I nearly squeezed into three years ago.... I won't need to buy any new clothes as I lose weight! :D Then this morning I've just found...

I consider everything other than what they recommend you mix with the powder to count; for example I mix my shakes up to a pint, so that's extra water, if youre drinking tea or coffee then thats extra water too :)

I had my second shake at 1.30 for lunch and then fell asleep when I got home from college, it's nearly 11.30pm now and Im only making my third shake, is that bad? :confused: Obviously not something I do often! I could honestly go without it by this stage, not hungry.

I'm not sure really... more importantly would you WANT to have all flapjacks! Have you tried them? :sign0137:

I mostly stick with chocolate but theyre all fine really, dont like the soup or the flapjacks though.

Whoop! Well done, that's amazing :happy096: You've got some serious willpower!

Well done Kelly! :)

I just found out the other day that my mum's been having milk in her tea ALL WEEK! She still lost 8lbs, I'm raging at her haha :rolleyes: I still lost more than her but hmph! I'd been 100%! Anyway it doesn't affect your weightloss but it could affect your ketosis so I'd try and keep from doing...

I was watching a programme called something like Fat Girls And Feeders that was horrible, it was about men who were attracted to bigger girls but who then manipulated them to put on more and more weight until they were completely dependent on them and couldn't walk or anything, it was scary! :(

Like Daisy said, you're not going to have weight gain if you're not taking in extra calories, that's just impossible, right? As far as I'm aware, at least :) Maybe you might have water retention or something though? I started on tablets for my underactive thyroid 7 years ago and theyre supposed...

Honk for day 8 despite my brothers tucking into sausage and chips in front of me! :)

My mummy's booked me a facial for my inevitable one stone mark! Yippee!

Thought I'd add a pic of my graduation dress as further motivation :D It's a Max & Cleo that I managed to find on sale from Neiman Marcus online, so I'm very proud of my bargain hunting! It's only a size 14 though and I'm currently straddling size 18 on top and 22 on bottom :cry: BUT I have 8...

Well, yesterday I decided to take a day off and it really wasn't worth it :( I felt sick most of the day and food really wasn't as good as I'd been fantasising about to be honest! Happy to be back on the shakes this morning and staying on this diet longterm seems more doable than ever, so it...

I find the flapjacks really dry and salty, they're kind of hard to get down. And to be honest after a week of shakes, chewing them feels really really strange lol :) If you stick with the shakes you'll start feeling better, I cheated and ate something today and actually felt awful and sick after...

12lbs gone! 'Only' 113lbs to go now :D

Hi Catt, I did Lipotrim about 5 years ago and put it all back on too, didn't do maintanence and just went right back to bad habits :rolleyes: Good luck with it this time, I find it much easier with all the support here on the forum!

It's definitely worth it, I stuck to the shakes 100% this week (my first week) and have lost 12lbs! :D That's nearly a stone down already! I make my shakes up to 1 pint, and always use a mixer otherwise its lumpy :) Sometimes it helps if you make the powder into a paster using a little bit of...

*drumroll* 12lbs! :thankyouthankyou: So so happy! And thats actually only 6 days because I started on a Sunday :D Worth being 100% all week, I'll be extra motivated for the next week now :)

12lbs gone!!! Delighted! :character00100: Enjoying my chocolate and coffee shake now :)

What do you wear when you're being weighed in? When I initially started I was in a hurry and didnt really care what I weighed so I went in trackie bottoms, a hoodie and runners! First weigh in is this morning and I couldnt be dressed differently, light pumps, tights, a skirt and tshirt...

I look at my body as being a stubborn child, sometimes it resists weight loss and you have to be firm and keep going and show it that YES WE ARE CONTINUING no matter what!! After that it'll give in :) Some people have reported staying the same for two weeks and then having a huge loss on the...

Loser2012 you'd be surprised how much you can lose in 7 weeks if you stick to this diet! But its good to have small goal cuz then when you pass them you feel good :)

It's so so hard when other people are cooking yummy things! I was giving out to my mum during the week for moaning, but I went to her house yesterday and I could understand her viewpoint then, because my dad and brothers were all having nice things for dinner and there were so many things to...

Weigh in this morning, fingers crossed!! :scale:

2 litres is the minimum so if you've done that much you should be okay, try keeping water beside your bed in case you wake up thirsty though :)
