Wrong forum, you want this one - Weight Loss via LT Maintenance

Looper. Excellent film, even better is the fact the trailer didn't tell you anything about the film! Definitely this years "Inception"

4.4lbs - just missed out :cry: Still 20.8 lbs in a month :D

Well, that's me done on TFR now after 5 months. The time has flown, had ups and downs but overall would say I've enjoyed it. It's the easiest diet I've ever done - trick now is to not return to old habits. Couldn't get weighed yesterday as I had to go into work and didn't get out until the...

Thanks all. Just updated my goal, hoping to shift another 8lb in 3 weeks (1 LT, 2 x refeed) for a nice round 17st before my hols :D

I have mine before exercise, and even though it''s a shake follow that same rule of no exercise an hour after eating. I don't have it before for any reason other than the way it works out. I usually exercise when I have time in the evenings, so from 8pm onwards. Shake's well gone by then. If...

-6.4 for me this week :D Thanks Noitulove

Strange week this week. Was Mother's 60th on Saturday and had a bit of a shindig. I ate 2 chicken legs, a thigh and some none root veg sald. Felt fine Sunday & Monday morning, but as Monday afternoon went on I felt worse and worse. Almost like when I entered ketosis in Weeks 1, 3 and 15, but 10x...

It's tough, but you can do it. I don't work nights, so not sure how the shakes work with changing sleeping habits. I still get headaches, light headedness, occasional bouts of depression but try to stay strong. Talking on here helps See my sig <---- and those stats, and you'll see...

Thanks all, had a good day. Most of the family hadn't seen me since Christmas and couldn't get over my new size which resulted in me pretty much looking like this...:D all day

Unless their voice goes up an octave, get a desire for Reese Witherspoon movies and start growing breasts :D

Cheers Dizzy

Man shakes are 280 calories per shake (so 560 calories a day), compared to Lady shakes 140 calories per shake (420 a day)

Made a decision this week. When I next refeed (29th Sept) I won't be going back on LT afterwards....... at least for the time being. Over the 20 weeks I'll of been doing LT, I'll of lost over 7 stone. So I'll be giving my body a break, my skin a chance to catch up, and my taste buds an...

5.1lbs this week, just about staying on track with my pledge :D Thanks Noitulove

Dunno why it's more for men. The video says they contain different ingredients, and the mens shakes contain more. But 3 womens shakes still has more powder in them than 2 male shakes. :confused:

In Manchester it's £36 for women and £48 for men. I always think that's a rip off as men only get 2 (all be it slightly bigger) shakes with no choice of soup or flapjacks.

Thanks everyone :D

Well that was awesome as always. Bring on next year!

I've heard about pharmacists like that :( I highly recommend watching the video

Short answer - Yes. Long answer - (re)watch the video your pharmacist should've made you watch before selling you LT. Welcome to the Lipotrim Website

You should count yourself incredibly lucky. Ketosis and drinking do not mix. I've read of people doing it and fainting, violent vomiting, hospital visits etc.

It does, first 5 days I felt like death. Day 6 woke up a feeling like new man and haven't looked back since

I'm good thanks. Only time I feel rough is going from lying down to standing up, do it too quickly I get dizzy but other than that LT is doing wonders for me. Have to decide what to do long term. I go on holiday in October, so will be off LT then. Can't decide whether to go back on it or not...

Cheers Kate, hows the better half finding it so far?

Really back into the swing of LT now after my holiday. Boss made a comment on how I've got to start buying new clothes as my old ones looked ridiculous on me :D So splashed out on some high end Tesco gear this weekend instead of my usual overly expensive specially made fat menswear. Weighed in...

As said above refeed is important, and do it by the letter. I gained 1lb during my 2 week refeed* and 1 week holiday, so you can keep the weight off. Use the refeed plan to help guide you towards what and how much you should be eating and you'll be fine. Just don't follow the refeed plan...

4.9lbs. Good start, need to up the pace to meet my pledge. Thanks for organising this Noitulove

Expendables 2. Bloody brilliant, exactly what the first film should've been like

My pharmacy sells them for £5 each. This one is identical, except it's not branded LT http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sci-MX-Nutrition-700-ml-Shaker/dp/B002FOQS4G/

Total Recall remake. Even worse than Bourne Legacy :(

Thanks all :)

Thanks Kate :)

First photo is 2009 weighing around 26stone, Second photo is Dec 2011 at around 24st 7lb 2 photos below are today weighing 18st 10lb

Ah no worries, didn't read the first post thoroughly :(

Started LT full time again this week following my holiday. Was really tough getting back into the swing of it. Started on the Saturday morning and Monday tea time couldn't take it and had to have something. So had a small salad and grilled pork steak with the fat cut off as I knew it would...

What are the rounding rules here ;) Just had first weigh in following a week back on LT after my holiday, lost 5.3 lbs Puts me right on target

I did lose 5stone in the time frame you're talking about doing it. However being a male, a foot taller and nearly twice the weight it meant the weight would drop of me a lot quicker (see my first 2 weeks in my sig). LT says that an average woman will lose 1st a month on LT, it's possible to do...

I know what you mean by satisfied. I recently refed, so was mindful about falling back into my old ways where instead of eating until I was full, I ate until I was ashamed of myself. Having been on LT for 3+ months, then refeeding you realise you don't/shouldn't eat until you're full any more...

I see your 20lbs and raise you a 1lb. Put me down for 21lb = 1.5 stone. Time to put that exercise equipment to use!

After losing 4.5st (getting me under 20) I splashed out on a holiday to Egypt in October Also what Dizzy said :D

Never heard about having 4 women's shakes. I know the blokes shakes have more in them. Having 2 doesn't bother me tbh. I thought about splitting them but seems more hassle than its worth

See sig... Although in fairness a) I'm a lot bigger than you b) I'm a bloke c) Blokes only get 2 shakes a day

Yeah it was good thanks. I was visiting the parents who retired and moved abroad. So while not strictly a holiday it was a break fro work :D

I agree, but no one else in this thread had given Ava that link which explains in great detail why she had such rapid weight gain and how to avoid it next time. If anything the fact she didn't refeed correctly seems to be overlooked quite quickly. I'm not standing here giving Eva orders, or...

Thanks Noitulove. Thought refeed and holiday would be tough, but it was so easy to eat normally and not fall into my old habits. In fairness I could probably continue eating and still lose weight, but with 6 weeks to the holiday thought I'd get back on the wagon so I can squeeze into a pair of...

Please read this - http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-refeeding/24170-refeeding-after-lipotrim-total-food-replacement-without-excessive-weight-regain.html You didn't refeed so put on 11lbs. If you'd of refed correctly you'd of only put on 1/2 lbs

Bourne Legacy. Absolute rubbish.

Arrived back from holiday on Wednesday, continued eating but dropped all carbs until weigh in today (Saturday) and found I was exactly the same weight as I was last weigh in. Happy with that. Back on LT now until Saturday 6th October (6 weeks) when I start refeeding for my trip to Egypt...

Don't be sorry, I know men are few and far between around here :D On my 7th day of refeeding now. I got 7 sachets of the chocolate whip, having that every day for breakfast with a no carb, lean meat salad for lunch and for tea some sort of low fat meal in the evenings - chicken, pepper...

I'm a bloke, we only get 2 shakes a day. Started refeeding last week so doing 2 meals and 1 maintance

Cheers Kate. I only got the chocolate one as I only enjoyed the chocolate shake so was expecting the same thing more or less. How wrong was I? :p

Your friend, who's a Lipotrim pharmacist, said it was ok to drink while in ketosis? WTF?

Picked up my first batch of maintance shakes yesterday, but unsure how much water to mix with them. It was printed on my LT shaker, but it's rubbed off Cheers

Had my weigh in as usual last Saturday and took a full set of standard LT sachets home with me with the intention of doing another week and then starting refeed today. However on Friday there's a fully paid for work night out, including drinking and curry. So rather than drink and curry 6 days...

Sorry if this sounds blunt, but it'll say to add nothing for a reason

Day 4 over. All 4 days I've had 2 Lipotrim shakes & chicken salad. Tomorrow having 2 shakes and chicken salad with a couple of new potatoes thrown in. Also just bought some Schwartz? No added salt chicken seasoning to sprinkle on the chicken before it goes under the grill. Scales are saying...

Well I was going to start my refeed on Saturday 4th August, but on the 10th there's a work night out involving beer and a curry so thought I'd start a 2 week refeed now. Just finished day 2, with my first 4 days being 2 shakes and a chicken salad for lunch or tea. Enjoying it so far, seems...

Cheers. I've had a slight change in plan and starting my refeed now, but having a 2 week refeed. Going to start a thread on it now

Yeah. Not sure if they're counting this 'half season' as full season or not. 8 episodes this year, 8 episodes next year

Getting back on the horse is one thing, but before you do that you need to work out how/why you fell off in the first place so you can avoid it second time around.

Just a quick update today. Lost 1.8kilo (4lb) which takes me down to 123.2kilo (19st 5lb) Start my refeed a week today, then holiday for a week, then back to LT for 6 weeks before going to Egypt in October.

Sticky thread at the top of this forum http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-refeeding/24170-refeeding-after-lipotrim-total-food-replacement-without-excessive-weight-regain.html

Best of luck Out of interest, why did you stop at 3 stone last year instead of going for 5 which would've put you where you want to be now? I only ask because I'm reaching my first goal fairly quickly, and trying to decide about settling there for a while or creating a second goal and going...

Just don't have your shake infront of him. There's a reason lipotrim give you 3 shakes to replace your standard 3 meals

I shed man tears watching Warrior

The Dark Night Rises. Really enjoyed it, probably more so than The Dark Night. Heath was awesome in Dark Night, and as much as I love Tom Hardy when you're wearing a mask throughout the whole film you never really get a chance to display your acting chops - but preferred the overall story of...

Thanks for the link dude. Bookmarked it for later. No training today, had some injections for a trip to Egypt in October and arms are killing me

Cheers buddy. Before September 18th you should easily drop another 3st after your amazing week 1. Don't beat yourself up about the holiday. Go and have a good time - just remember the grilled chicken and pasta is just as nice as the 1/2lb bacon cheese burger :D Now I want a bacon cheese...

Thanks all. Exercise wise I go swimming (not chatting in a pool!) on a Sunday evening for about 45 mins and I go for a 30/45 minute walk every day at lunch. This weekend I bought a balance ball and a set of dumbbells. Every now again when getting out the shower I've noticed some excess skin...

2 litres of water a day is the minimum requirement for Lipotrim, with 4 litres being max. Your pharmacist should've told you this & you should've seen it on the Lipotrim video

10th Weigh in down, only 2 more weeks to go before my first refeed/holiday. Lost 1.9kilo (4.1lbs), taking me now down to 19st 9lbs. That's a total weight loss of 4st 13.6lb (which rounded is 5 stone :D) in only 10 weeks :eek: Very happy with that considering I've eaten 2 meals (salad, lean...

:D

I drink bottled water at work as its grim out of tap. So take in 2x 2 litres then whatever I haven't drunk bring it home for the evening. At weekends I drink it by the pint from the tap. 3 before midday, 3 before my pm shake, 2 in the evening

This is the easiest diet I've ever been on. People eating/cooking infront of me doesn't bother me in the slightest. It did at first, but once ketosis kicked in I've never felt hungry. What made you stop first first time? Will it happen again this time? LT is great for losing lots of weight...

Good luck to you and your friend. I'd suggest first thing you do is identify why you put the weight the back on. It'll give you something to think about while on LT and help tackle the long term issues.

Day 5 was my worst day, but day 6 felt much better and day 7 weigh in made it all worth while. You can do it

I try to drink the full 4 litres a day and find weight loss better when I drink the full 4, instead of the minimum 2 litres

If you don't refeed correctly you may as well pack LT in now

Ta muchly, but misses? I'm all man ;)

I believe the family friendly way of posting this on twitter would be #ohhellyeah 1) I bought new jeans. Not from a speciality shop, no hunting online for the right size. I walked into Asda and bought a pair of 44" George specials off the shelf. Admittedly they're a little tight but I'm...

It's like bondage, uncomfortable at first but once you've got used to the pain every weigh in is a pleasure

It only works if after stopping LT you carefully learn to eat again. Far too many people lose x stone on LT for wedding/holiday/graduation who then go back to their old habits. So the answer is it will work if you want it to.

This Weight fluctuates massively. Seeing a loss over 24 hours does not mean you lost that weight.

Absolute classic. Hot dog!

The video on the lipotrim website that we've all watched and your pharmicist should know backwards says peppermint tea is fine

I ate this week, but not going to beat myself up over it as it was healthy (salad & grilled chicken) and I enjoyed it. Went straight back on LT, and hit ketosis again fairly quickly as I could taste the difference almost straight away. I also ate on purpose as its my bros 30th next weekend and...

Looking better than it did :D Congrats

Amazing Spider-man. Didn't expect much, but was probably better than the Toby Maguire movies which I really enjoyed. Plus Emma Stone > Kirsten Dunst :D

Go here Weight Loss - Diet Ticker Then put in the pin ou set when you created it and click "Edit/Update Weight Data". Once you've updated it hit save If you edit your sig and put [ /url] at the end (without the space) then your ticker image will link straight to he page I linked above

Don't go into it thinking you need to lose 4st by your wedding. Instead that you need to lose 4 stone for the rest of your life. Start now, so by November you'll of lost it and focus on eating right so you're officially a new person by your wedding instead of the same person who just happens to...

7 weeks 5 days. See progress below. Going away for a week in August 11th so basically got rest of July before I start refeeding. Then goin away or another week on 13th October so plan on going back on LT for the 5/6 weeks between the 2 holidays. Hoping that when I start eating again full I can...

Knowing that every lb I shed takes me one step closer to getting laid :love:

Thanks all :)

What a **** thread :D

I'm doing lipotrim as I want to change my eating habits long term. Yet there's an increasing number of posts/threads about people doing lipotrim to squeeze into a wedding/graduation dress or slimming down for a bikini for their holidays. These are the people who then put the weight back on...

I had a woman at work say Lipotrim was rubbish, you put it back on, you don't want to live life without eating etc 5 weeks in and 3 stone down she was that impressed she decided to start it again. She lasted 4 days :D Best way to deal with them? Succeed

After last weeks shoe-gate revelation I wasn't sure how I'd get on this week. Knew I'd lose, but wouldn't be anywhere near last weeks skewed results. Still very happy with this weeks results. I lost 2.4kilo (5.3lbs) this week which takes me down to 131.5kilo (20st 9.9lb). Hoping to lose another...

21 Jump Street. Didn't have high hopes for it as I'm not a Jonah Hill fan, but Channing Tatum had me in tears laughing

Welcome & good luck Dazza/Yankee Dazza: that's exactly why it works for me. None of this "good week so I can have some sins" bollocks you see on other diets

There is no better music :D

I use the kilo to stone converter on this site... Weight Converter

My pharmacy always has them in, but when I asked for a couple the first week they said men only get shakes. No flapjacks or soup (not that I want soup based on the comments here about it :p)

Think of it like your passing keytone cordial. All you've done by drinking more is watered it down :D

This lady speaks the truth

I really want to try a flapjack, but pharmacist says men aren't allowed them on their LT diet :(

Watched Rock of Ages at the cinema this week. Quite entertaining, no real story though. Just a 2 hour episode of Glee really!

ET is ace, I've been to Elliott's house :D

I could charge for live streaming ;)

I'm gonna take my belt off next too :D

Yeah I've seen that :( Staying in Sharm El Sheikh, and only there for 6 full days but don't want to miss anything in case I never get another chance to go

I've just this week booked Egypt for a week in October. Can't wait, but know its going to cost a fortune dong trips to Cairo, Luxor and Petra

That's amazing, well done. Hoping to lose 6 myself

Yeah I'm guessing shoes would be about 2lb of that. I know that at least 50%+ of that weight loss was me, esp with the extra water / walking I've been doing lately. Just worked out to hit my first goal of 18stone I need to average 7.2lbs per week. Won't happen. But I don't mind not hitting my...

End of week 6, officially half way through my lipotrim journey. Got 6 more weeks then I refeed before visiting the parents for a week. Had an interesting discussion with someone at work this week. They were asking about the whole lipotrim thing as they were saying they could really see the...

One thing I've noticed is you'll look for changes in the wrong places. I've been looking for a change in my stomach, which hasn't changed that much and will probably be the last place I'll lose it. But just got back from swimming, and noticed in the changing rooms just how much thinner my legs...

How much of that 2 weeks is LT as your first post says its your first week. Have been been 100% on LT (no skipped 'meals', no milk/sugar in tea/coffee, only drinking tea/coffee/water, no nibbling at any other food etc)

Cheers all!

Wasn't aimed directly at you :p

Not watched Big Brother for years. It always used to anger me as the contestants who made for the best viewing were voted out for being annoying. So not doing much & sitting on the fence gave you a free pass to the final, then every complained it was boring. You made it boring!! :mad:

I noticed after 2 weeks, but it all depends on you and your body shape/size to begin with

Good luck, there's a great support group on here.

American Psycho, Freddy Got Fingered (it's NOT a guilty pleasure :D), Vanilla Sky (Abre Los Ojos was ok, this remake was much better), Face/Off, Avatar (unoriginal story, but well executed), Super 8 (modern day Goonies :D), Babel (even if the director is a 1 trick pony - see 21 Grams & Amores...

Avoid spoilers at all costs, but series 3 and 4 just got better and better with episode

Shorter than usual post this week. Been a fairly uneventful week on LT compared to my last 4 thank goodness Stayed 100% all week, swam once and did my usual 1 mile+ walks every day apart from 1 day when I did 3 :whacky068: Weigh in this morning and I'm down to 138.1kilo (21st 10.5lb)...

Congratulations! Once you hit that first weigh in, it really gives you the motivation to carry on doesn't it!

Love Arnie, but the true star in that film is Phil Hartman (the neighbour). Shame he's no longer with us :(

Bookmark 15th July. Shits about to get real :D

Glad the second series is over. Can't stand Lori "Carl get in the house....where the F is Carl" Grimes. Really looking forward to 3rd series with The Governor

Actor: Jeff Bridges. Never realised how good he was until The Big Lebowski (greatest movie ever) Actress: Charlize Theron. Phenomenal in Monster

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Used to watch it, rewind the video then watch it again. According my mum I watched it 4 times in a day once while playing

Wonderful Life Bad Santa Christmas Vacation Christmas Story Isnt Christmas without watching all those

The FP utterly ridiculous, but loved every minute of it Mad Max meets Rocky 4 with boxing substituted for Dance Dance Revolution. You can watch the first 10 mins on youtube First 10 Minutes of THE FP- In theaters MARCH 16! - YouTube

There's far too many good films in this thread :D Should try real bottom of the barrel scraping like National Lampoon's Men in White staring Biff from Back to the Future

Big difference is LT is a choice, that requires an incredible amount of will power and let's face it doesn't taste nice. Surgery is ideal for those who don't have th will power. Only thing in common is hat both require a massive shift in attitude towards food afterwards

One of my usual vices, curry, pizza or kebab. But only as a treat :D

Anyone have any experience of fitness games for Xbox Kinect? I'm thinking about buying one, as I'm more likely to play a game than follow a fitness DVD :p

Can't beat the freedom of having a car, but agree with Eiregirl I have a 1 mile rule. If its less than 1 mile walk (unless it's raining:D)

This Must be said though, while this is an often mentioned side effect of rapid weight loss through LT, I can't say I've seen any posts on this forum where people have said they needed it

It sure is, couldn't believe it. But being a fairly sedentary 24st bloke, I'd of guessed my first week would see a larger loss than most You can do it, and the support here is fantastic :gen126:

Thats my plan, want to use this time on LT to think carefully about what I eat, but importantly how I go about making it. I want to essentially teach myself to cook instead of just reheating something from a jar

It could just be the diet playing on your mind, as it's quite new and making a huge change to your body

Congrats. I'm looking forward to the day I can walk into a clothes shop and buy any pants/shirt I like instead of huntin for things that fit

It'll be worth it. First few days aren't pleasant, but get the first weigh in out of the way and you'll never look back

Great start, congrats

Excellent start :D

Congrats

Good to see another fella on here, keep fighting James it gets easier

Just been thinking about that bite of a fish finger. Hope I'm wrong but I'd of thought that would knock you out of ketosis, as even sugar free chewing knocks you out of it

My pharmacist said I could do it as long as I wanted, but it was a good idea to refeed every 3 months

Great start

4 weeks in and I get dizzy too, mostly when going from lying down to standing up

I'm in 2 minds about buying a kinect and an exercise game. In theory sounds great, but the idea of me exercising with a camera pointing at me the whole time is a tad off putting

I don't get it either, but I always put that down to my weight and general lack of appeal to the fairer sex. :D It's still early days, your body is telling you it's hungry not because you are but more likely because it's used to eating. The fact you're posting that at lunch time proves it :p...

Curry is my weakness, that and bullets

Sorry :(

I watched 2 episodes today. I now have zero desire for pancakes & Philly cheese steaks :sign0137:

Day 2 was defiantly the worst for me, felt like a new man when I woke up on day 3

To add to the above, scales vary. Best stick with 1 set of scales to weigh yourself. I stick to the pharmacies, because weighing yourself everyday will give false readings too. Also if you do any kind of exercise you could be adding muscle which is heavier than fat, but at the same time...

This could potentially but watch Man vs Food videos on YouTube. It's a US show about a guy takes on food challenges along the lines of you have to eat a ridiculous quantity o food in x minutes. 95% of the time it puts me off food just seeing the sheer size of what he's about to eat

Congrats on reaching the half way point! Hope you reach your goal by your friends wedding :)

Hoping for total loss by end of June of 3st 7lbs (so 1st 1lb) over the next 3 weeks

I tried this after reading it in another post, did nothing for me. Couldn't taste any difference :(

That's exactly what I'm saying but didn't want to phrase it like that on a forum with a user base of 99% women :D

Lol, now it's off my chest yes I feel better. Will feel even better once I've got this load off my stomach :p

I don't want to upset anyone, but have to get this off my chest. I hate the term cheating which I constantly see on this forum when someone wasn't 100% for a day. Cheating by definition implies getting an unfair advantage, eating while on TFR sets you back it doesn't give you an advantage of...

I'd happily have access to either of those, oh you mean which do you want yourself? :p As a bloke it would probably be Fight Club Brad Pitt, or Batman/American Psycho Christian Bale instead of the current Keeping up Appearences Onslo I'm currently sporting

Over a third of the way towards your target in the first week! Congrats

Well it's that time of the week again. Last week, as you may of read, I was slightly disappointed at losing 'only' 4.6lbs. My main reason for this was because the lipotrim website says as a bloke I should lose roughly 21lbs a month. So my mind instantly read that as 5lbs a week. Being a bigger...

Same here, day 20 & 21 were awfull. Didn't feel as bad this morning, but since had a weigh in which wasn't quite up to expectations. Now I just feel depressed about it

End of week 3. 100% again this weekend. Days 20/21 were a killer, all I could think about was food. Putting that down to the fact it was payday, and pay day used to equal full curry with all the trimmings. Had my weigh in and was expecting 7-10lb, based on 9.7lb last week with a day of eating...

Theres some serious weight that needs losing! In fairness my last supper was a biggie, and I'm not certain it evacuated before the weighin

I'll join the lipotrim bromance love in. Only just spotted this thread, 2 weeks in loving it

Started the week really well, staying 100% despite an 8am to 1:30am working day, immediately followed by a 6am-6pm. Then disaster. Wednesday morning, woke up at 4am in pain. Wasn't sure if I needed the loo or just twisted 'myself'. Tried to sleep it off but by 5am the pain was unbearable. Went...

Going to bump this thread as I'd not read it prior to starting lipotrim. And even if I had probably wouldn't of paid much attention to it. I'm currently sat in a&e in excruciating pain. All signs point towards a kidney stone, had an X-ray, now had a nurse tell me she's getting a surgeon to...

This might be a daft question, but why? It's done at weigh in for free, and if you find out your not in ketosis you won't be able to change that before your weigh in. Save your money for all the new clothes you'll have to buy :D

Thanks all :D

Great thread MrC. As someone who's looking to keep it off long term I think a 2 week reseeding plan is a great idea! Might even push it to 4 when I get there :p

That works at 9.8lbs in your first week assuming the last 2 days are lost at the same rate, from what I've seen not many hit that in their first week. Well done Its also quite relative to your start weight/height/sex/activity levels. The higher your BMR is the quicker it'll drop off

1st post so be gentle :wave_cry: Started lipotrim last Saturday with a start weight of 156.3kilo (24stone 8.6lb). As a bloke I get 2 450ml shakes a day, stuck to this 100% in my first week. First week wasn't as bad as I expected felt like crap Saturday evening, worse Sunday. Slowly felt...
