That's amazing... Well done! As for the welcome lunch for me it varies most of the time I just told people I was being really strict with my eating and was having a protein shake for lunch so I could have a big dinner... Most people accepted that. My rep told me your not supposed to refers for...

i just found that in regards to the hold food has that it was more that my life revolved around it. meeting my friends was always dinner or a cafe or brunch, its not a bad thing but as someone who is more inclindated to gain weight it made living a healthy lifestyle more challanging. im almost...

no probs, i dont have a food addiction but did struggle a LOT while on TFR, there were moment where i did think oh ill just have a bit, but somehow made it through... best of luck at the weigh in... and remember even if it is disapointing that its the start of something...

to be fair you might be in the wrong place, this is the lipotrim forum alot of people here are on a Total food replacement programme and not consuming anything but the lipotrim products. the rest are on a keto diet, the sugar in fruit can kick you out of ketosis unless carefully controlled...

DONT DO IT!!! you are doing so well for me day four was the hardest! the smell of food was driving me insane... your only 3 days away from your first weigh in, and i promise it will get easier...

reading back over this stuff as im back on maintencce after my 30th in june and a bad break up in august. So strange reading back about my amazing boyfriend and how supportive etc. it turns out my new lifestyle didnt suit him all that much. we kept up the running for a while but his shifts at...

Hey lads and ladies, just wondering i lost jsut over 5 stone the year before last on TFR and have thank jesus maintainted till about two months ago (i turned 30) gained 8 pounds. wanted to go back on maintenance to get to my goal and popped into my pharmacy, a week of maintenace cost me 22 euro...

Hi Skinny, I wasnt singling you out at all, like Pierce said i was just asking you to be mindful ovbiously its uncomfortable for you to have gained that weight, i was simply saying be mindful of the lauguage you use. i certainly didnt mean to offend of upset you. its certainly that you dont...

yeah my bmi recommended is between 6 and a half stone and 8 and a half stone which is jsut mental, like 6 stone as a 30 year old woman cannot be healthy... running for me is the best thing in the world, i would recomment joining a running club or something thats what got me back the support in...

to be honest i dont have a weight loss goal, im in the 13 stones now low 13 stone im not back running properly yet i only did lipotrim because i hurt my knee and couldnt run my goal is to do a marathon this year, im short (5ft just about) so id need to be in the 7 stone to 8 1/2 to be considered...

welcome back, Im so sorry to read about your loss, you must be an incredible strong woman. Well done on starting back. I started back too, only gained about 8 lbs but wanted to get to goal, the place is much quieter but theres still a few around. Best of luck with everything!

drives me insane cant get them at my chemist she says there only for maintenance... would love to chew something!!

Hi Skinny just a heads up, one be careful of your language here when you say something like a whopping 13 stone 8 be mindful that some people using lipotrim might have 13 stone as their goal. I understand it is a heavy weight for you but jsut be mindful that some people here have lost 5-6- stone...

no worries, from my understanding their supposed to taste like that so you dont want to drink more. Lipotrim works if you suffer though. PM me if you need anything else. im on it second time round lost over 4 stone the first time gain 7 pound over christmas with a knee injury so back on tfr to...

okay buy a shaker: try and get one with a ball or a grid on top. shown in the pics. or use a hand blender. the chicken soup tastes and smells like boiled socks. the whole point of the tfr shakes is that they kidna dont taste good or bad kidna blaaa. some people do use hot water im more of an ice...

support is here! day two and day three/four for me were the worst! stomach rumbling hungry the smell of food drove me mental. push through youll be fine think of how much weight you will lose and more importantly think of how much healthier you will feel. Its tough but if it was easy everyone...

exactly, its a pain in the bum but youll get there... if it was easy we'd all be naturally skinny...

Hey, Thanks. yeah it helps... im only up to the three shakes yesterday actually, i was just feeling manky so was going to bed so early i didnt bother. i do feel cold all the time its part of ketosis though, basically your body has so much energy a day. when your on tfr it has to ration the...

i did four months last year, its tough and i agree you can feel like your missing out on alot, (my friends eat out alot) i came off it because i got down to only losing 1-2 lbs a week so decided i could do that with food. best of luck!

Aw thanks guys!!! look im gunna call a spade a spade, lipotrim is hell, the shakes taste like bum your breath stinks and you feel like death warmed up. BUT the weight literally falls off. Roxie youll be grand just keep focused i have to say, i still see myself as the fat girl and look ill...

it does come back by the time i was a month into TFR i was back running, its like a drug to me at the moment hahaa

Thanks AceL while i did struggle (my boyfriend is a chef and is constantly in the kitchen) Im struggling now, im cold grumpy and tired but i know its just the diet. Lipotrim changed my life and gave me back the control i craved, im happier healthier and able to focus on the long term. As for...

im doing it TFR to get back into shape, did it last year and lost four stone, had a slip and damaged me knee which kept me from running so im doing it to help shift the last two stone while i cant run...

back for round two, put on 5 pounds over Christmas and have damaged my knee after a fall, i always said if i was injured long term id go back on TFR, three days in and im okay to be fair, i think knowing how good it was first time around has made it easier, first weigh in saturday, only started...

just a quick update, ive kept the weight off. and lost a bit more. im offically a skinny person. i run three times a week, numerous 5 and 10 kms and gulp! have signed up to do my first marathon in septebmer 2016. i got down to 13 stone 8 pounds on lipotrim, i didnt cheat and stuck to a healthy...

Thanks Incredible! well done!

curveappeal to be fair you helped me alot with my boyfriend the poor man didnt know what to be doing with me when i started tfr hahaa i feel more confident he says that im the same girl he fell in love with but that now theres just a less of me and that i seem happier in general, he did joke...

yeah a lil pissed now, my pharmasist still says their not on it i figured it was an Irish thing but now your saying you had them, no fairs! ah sure look im skinny now lipotrim can feck off wont be needing it again hahaha i must put up progress photos soon actually, my favourite day was yesterday...

im the exact same i responded to your post about keeping it secret. im good weight it coming down each week my running times are getting better, i do have my bad days but i work though them now instead of just running to the fridge. hope your doing well!

this is a really good post, i didnt keep it a secret as such, i told my mom dad and boyfriend and the woman i share an office with and my best friend that i was on lipotrim. thats it. everyone else just figured i was beign careful with my food but i didnt tell anyone about lipotrim, its strange...

yeap just remember thats a sign its working your body is detoxing and you are heading into Ketosis! keep it up!

hey feedback varies on this i was told by my pharmacist that you cant mix but some people do, in general the maintenace shakes are way sweeter and can take some time to get used too. i hope you got the right advice on this as i just noticed your post today. i would recommend sticking to...

so my little update, broke my PB (now running 5 k in 28 mins whoop whoop) in a 5K on Saturday -Darkness into Light for us Irish members- was tough getting up and running at 4am but totally worth it! have completed toughathalon with some friends which killed my bruises had bruises! but was really...

keep busy or do nothing is the best advice i can give. i spent my first week feeling like id the hangover from hell so stayed in bed after work and watched documentaries on healthy eating hahaa

5 foot even 13 stone 8 pounds current a 12 on top and 16 on bottom. being short sucks!

This may not be the right place to post but i'm struggling at the moment, ive been posting in the lipotrim forum, ive successfully beaten the battle of the bulge and am down 4 stone and a bit since the end of January still have a lil bit to go but mentally i know i can in the next few months...

its tough to keep it off but way easier than being fat was, now i have a treat once a month instead of every day or each weekend. the big difference is i dont drink anymore and find it easier to work out. i did plateau for a bit but it turns out that was me building up muscle from weight lifting...

best of luck with it either way.

lipotrim ireland dont supply them on TFR. youd have to ask them. the whole point of TFR is to break the habit to go into ketosis burn off fat and relearn new habits, eating is contradictory to TFR flapjacks or no flapjacks, from experience on the forum (i never ate but others have) its a small...

"I was told that flackjacks are only for maintenance or people doing it as a supplement, that lipotrim discourage use of flapjacks on TFR as it can interfere with the mental side of eating." if you read my post, the whole point of lipotrim TFR is that you dont eat, lipotrim themselves...

i know what your saying girls but lipotrim flapjacks are maintenance food... not suitable for TFR. check with your pharmacist. I was told that flackjacks are only for maintenance or people doing it as a supplement, that lipotrim discourage use of flapjacks on TFR as it can interfere with the...

hi guys flapjacks arnt on TFR... their food!

if thats how you feel fair enough but if your disappointed thats normally and indication you dont think its the right decision,. i did lose just over the three stone in a close enough time frame to yours and while it was hard it was worth it. from my understanding you will gain what weight you...

well done, you ve done the hardest bit... now you know the next time your on the way to the fridge you can say to yourself no remember ive been here before and won, now having it happy now. and keep moving forward, my favourite quote of the moment is: Let me tell you something you already...

Hi, I just realized we started at the exact same weight and have the same goal! I know thats weird... Best of luck with it all and hope this is making your life better every day! Well done!

hey vv4evamine! yeah i did feel a bit of a voyer reading other peoples posts but these ladies are incredible they got me though some really tough times. i wasnt able to exercise on TFR, i was just about able to get though a days work let alone study in the evenings. I am exercising now...

Liv's update well im down another 3 pounds in the past few weeks this whole losing weight thing is actually pretty simples, (lolz) did my first 10k Sunday DELIGHTED with myself. defo couldnt have done that in January, feeling good still have my tough days but i just remind myself that i...

DONT DO IT! if you do eat something while it may not kick you out of ketosis it will make you feel like crap. TFR is a mental game not a physical one, if you are craving food its your mind not your body. distract yourself and keep pushing forward.

yeah ill wait and see, im only thinking as a back up plan really! so fingers crossed I wont have to.

hey guys sorry my new job is MENTAL! im doing good, went away for the weekend with my family some of whom havnt seen me since I was 17 odd stone, needless to say seeing me 13 odd stone was a bit of an adjustment for them. I WAS IN LOVE WITH MYSELF ALL WEEKEND hahahahaa yes the compliments are...

can i ask lads and ladies, i've noticed a few of ye say ye do a reefed then go back on TFR my pharmacist told me you can only go back on TFR 6 months after breaking it, how come you guys are able to, ive only been refeeding and eating now for two weeks and am doing well but would like to think...

defo slowed for me I was all gunho about it and was expecting 4-5 pound loses a week until my pharmacist told me to get real, just remember the smaller you get the less of you there is to lose :-) men lose it faster than women too (meanies)

hey benasi, yeah my weight loss stayed at around 2 pounds 2.5 after a few weeks. I didn't do much exercise as I didn't have much energy but once I did the reefed and started working out again its stayed at 2 pounds ish after my reefed I actually stayed on that menu I have a shake for my...

thanks peach pip!! at least now i know i'm not totally crazy! i totally see what you mean about getting annoyed at people not helping themselves. i watched that juck food kids documentary the other night and was so angry! these poor kids with parents who have no idea are passing on their own...

peach pip do you mind if i ask you a personal question, and anyone else who has lost a fair bit of weight, did you or have you found you can get a bit pis$y with people? ive found since i lost the weight (and i do have more to go dont get me wrong) people have started complimenting me more and...

so my refeed went well (thanks in part to you guys! you really saw my through.) i stuck rigidly to the plan given by lipotrim no exceptions but I was unable to eat all the food on the programme, I found it was a bit too much. I was gutted to find out that you cant go back on TFR for 6 months...

curve can i ask are you back on TFR?

i stuck with my first around 9:30 to 10am at work then another around 2 or 3 ish then the last at about 7... depending on how long my work day was. the first few days are rough but DONT break it will be work it I promise!

down two pounds in my refeed!!! delighted feel a bit fatter but i know thats a mental thing... rewarded myself by chopping ALL my hair off went from kardashian type long hair to a really short bob! i miss my long hair but it was time, like the weight, to go. going to stick with the refeeding...

me too! how'd you get on i have my refeed weigh in on saturday so am super nervous!

i tink your fine like said above i dont think it will kick you out of ketosis.. tip as well bake salmon in the over for 15 mins with some garlic cloves on the tray drooolll its AHmazing! Keep up the good work!

Hey ladies, so the update is I started a new job and refeeding in the same week hahaaha nothings ever simple is it! :-) refeeding is going okay im still a bit apprehensive about food i think its because i spent so long on TFR maybe. I am now on day 4 of my refeed i still get confused about stuff...

depends on what day of refeeding your on. im on my refeed too struggling a bit but its okay i HATE baked potato and rang my lipotrim rep and she said its okay to swap to sweet potato im on day 4 off my refeed and have had salmon but its listed. to be honest i feel like ones your under the...

well done i found i was addicted to ********* when i was on TFR. pins so much food and found it really comforting just looking at the nice food i was going to cook for myself i even started a super healthy board with all the stuff im ogin got have now im super healthy!

totes!! im trying to get him to do a youtube channel I think people would really find it interesting but he just keeps laughing at me about it

Hi all, looking for some help. was supposed to start a refeed two weeks ago but chickened out so have started today. have got my maintenance foods and have had my first shake (summer berry) its the sweetest thing i think ive ever tasted. i have the caramel bar and ive been sitting with it in...

thanks curveappeal!!!

the cold you feel is actually a good sign, its a sign your body is burning fat ie that you are in ketosis. im the same at the moment im in two pairs of sweats three hoodies and have a hot water bottle i HATE the cold but its a means to an end.

it would take you out of ketosis so try and remember how brutal it was that first week. i promise it will get better do you have someone you can lean on? or go out have a walk around (without your wallet) have a bath do something to take your mind of it.

hey curveappeal, i was supposed to start my refeed this week but chickened out in the end. would you be able to offer me some advise on how you managed to refeed any tips or tricks... im planning on starting in the next few days but worried im going to go mad, i know its a mental game but was...

sparkling water is allowed i drank a fair bit of it and it didnt slow me down you may feel pretty bloated with it though.. as for the LT at work i just flat out lied and told people i was having breafast at home and was having a protein shake for lunch ahaha for some reason protein shakes are...

I started tfr on the 11th january, it was hell in the first week im not gunna lie but i got though it. i am now down THREE stone since then. i have struggled with motivation and energy levels but never broke, i sat in pubs with my friends eating and drinking and lived with my family and...

lots of ice and drink them fast.

dont panic i dont think anyone would find it offensive i think you might just get a row from the mod. :-)

hey guesy80 just a heads up be careful on this side of the lipotrim or mentioning food or drink... it can be really tough for some people and this is kind of a haven away from it. :-)

i call it the keto flu... its exactly like having a cold or flu... its actually a good thing its a sign your body is moving into ketosis so hunger pang will go soon and you will feel better... and more importantly start burning all that fat you no longer want :-)

hi all, while im not the same as pandora im after getting a cold or virus or something and literally havnt had a shake in a day and a half well a bit more its 8:30 now on the second day. i cant get the water into me and am feeling rough but im not feeling hungry or thirsty or anything i dunno...

best of luck id be surprised if you dont stick on it longer three weeks for me i was just hitting my stride with it.

hi shumi im going to tell you what ive told everyone who has asked me if its hard. yes every lifestyle change is difficult. and in regards to does it work, again like every diet yes it will work if you do it. if you set your mind to it and really, really focus on it you will do it.

hi guys so following on from star and my post above i had a weight in saturday, my pharmacist told me that as i am after losing 16kg in 8 weeks and begining to feel a bit rough in general that it could be because im am starting to burn muscle that being on tfr for a prolonged period of time that...

would you try a spa day or something non food related?

hi sashakoby! welcome the support here is good it will keep you going!

so weight in today. been on lipotrim since the 11th January down 15.8kgs not to shabby for 7 weeks but my brain is shouting at me that it should be more. im also kinda pee'd off that ive STILL not broken the 15 stone mark i was sure it would happen today and went to weigh in and i was 15 stone...

i think you have half the battle katie85, you know your good now you just need to be able to project that. practice makes perfect!

yeap i get a bit panicy when i wake up after them but ive kinda gotten used to them now...

pandora you sound right up my street hahahaah roast lamb with ballymaloe relish or mint jelly YUM! wheres what we'll do, when we are all done ill get my BF to cook us super healthy but tasty dinner!

this is not pretty but also having a bath helps then forgoing the toilet seat and squatting over a towel helps too... thankfully i wasnt that bad but my pharmacist said it can help with relaxing the muscles.

okay yeah im only a parent to my boyfriend so i have no responsibilities... and to be fair hes not that hopeless. hope your okay today?

i hate seeing stuff like this. it makes me really sad, i call it the katie hopkins effect. guys i work in HR and have for years, ive worked in recruitment, please please please dont let how you look make you feel unsuitable or less confident for a role. If you have the personality, the...

Thanks so much pandora! I had my weigh in today down 15 kgs in 44 days. i feel so much better any tummy troubles i was having are long gone im sleeping better, now i do need to up my exercise so am going to try to get my boyfriend to take me running with him. im sorry about the intolerance...

aw no i hope your okay, thats tough, are you going to weigh ins or doing it alone? id speak to your pharmacist about it, im doing lipotrim from my chemist so im able to talk to her about it. i can ask her for you if you want?

i hear ya its cold enough in the winter but the ketosis cold is a nightmare. my hands and feet are always cold! hot water bottles help... hope your doing okay though

sleep sleep and sleep and chocolate shakes... im struggling at the mo but im having thick shakes with loads of ice and sleeping as much as possible hahaha

i was allowed duclax and it worked with the senakot but now im really careful now with my water intake i use the fiberclear twice a day and drink so much water im suprised i havnt burst yet. it is a nightmare though hope its sorting itself out...

next weigh in tomorrow have had a nightmare week, Period, a bit constipated and lost my job (been told im being made redundant) (maybe an overshare?) what a nightmare! weigh in had better be AMAZING! i might strangle the lipotrim rep.. has anyone found their rep difficult? i have two one was...

i seriously was going to bed watching documentary about obesity my first week hahahaa i was like an anti ******. food inc fat sick and nearly dead the perfect human diet and knives over forks ALL INCREDIBLE if you want to learn a bit more and make yourself feel super smug for being so healthy!

id ring them and tell them then bring them back tomorrow thats unacceptable even if they are fine out of date is not a good thing

i hear ya so i started almost 7 weeks ago. im not gonna lie it will be hard really hard some days if you can get though the first week i promise hand on heart that it will be worth it and get easier. the first day is fine till about bed time then i found my brain kinda going heyyyy youve...

so following all the amazing encouragement i went for a walk after work today nothing major but feeling mentally better. thanks again everyone!

i seriously almost murdered someone! but my friend got my through it!

ill have to look for them properly. it will be a long journey but i know ill get there!

i actually took measurements my first day on lipotri and have lost them! will have to spend a day cleaning my room looking for them!

so no more going to bed in his old boxers and a hoodie right :-)

Thanks Pandora. I woke up today with a new motivation. im going to remember that no matter how slow the loss is its faster than if i was making no effort.

thanks Katie, yeah i actually started working out in my third week and ended up making myself very unwell. I went to the gym two days and was weak and dehydrated after so i gave it a rest for a while. i need to take the slowly slowly wins the race mentality.

true i know he loves me and what you say is right i think its more how i am in terms of not liking or enjoying my body that bothers him. he is very supportive and as hes a chef so i think he finds it hard to only be cooking for himself so hes eating at work more... he runs and has promised when...

Thanks curveappeal! im gonna start walking after work i think ive college two nights a week and on saturdays so they can be my rest days just a question now of powering though i think. Thanks!

i have a new one, todays valentines day and myself and my friends are all out in a pub which is fine im not anti social or anything but i feel sometimes like my poor boyfriend gets alot of stick form his friends about me, his friends are lovely but all their girlfriends are skinny long legged...

id love to start this too, i work in an office but do very little walking around during the day, anyone have any tips on how to increase my steps? i already do the small things like take the stairs, park far away...

im doing the same thing. right now top of my list is eggs florentine... my boyfriend is a chef and has promised to make it for me when im happy with my weight. weirdly it was the first thing he ever cooked me as well... soooo good. my list is long but every so often i look at it and take stuff...

PREACH!!!

if it helps one i work in an airport for a food and beverage company its a killer, my office is approx 15 steps from the main kitchen... right now im watching the rugby with my friends from college in a pub where i booked a table for us about 12-15 of us.. owner who is an old friend of mine...

im not gunna lie the past few weeks have flown by and my mom was really good to me during the week she said yeah you missed nights out etc but think about if you hadnt started? you will have tough days when you will think what your doing is mental but think of like my mom said where would you be...

when i started i was 17.5 now im 15.5 according to lipotrim i have to be 7 stone (lolz) but my doctor says as long as i get down to under 12 stone he will be happy he said 10 stone would be perfect but he'd take 12 and under. i dunno, i do need to start hitting the gym more im just struggling...

so bad weigh in today, only down four pound gutted to be honest. dunno whats going on but weight lose has slowed down hugely.. -7 -7 -5 -5 -4 (today) feeling very negative today TFR is totally hard but if its not worth it not sure if i can keep it up much longer. anyone else seeing their...

i've my week 5 weigh in tomorrow... heading into week 6. im on TFR i dont know if thats the same...

yeah im the same have my list and all thats on it at the moment is a poached egg hahaha hope everybody is doing well!

hey all fourth weigh in today down 24 pounds in a month! delighted with myself. hows everyone else getting on?

i hate feeling like crap all the time. feeling like people judge me as being lazy or greedy coz im fat.

well done keep it up. to be honest im in week 4 and still think about food a fair bit but more of a id love this when im finished and they seem to be healthier foods than i used to think about. just think of it as controlling your mind more than your body.

okay so from my experience the best thing to do is remember the past is the past BUT write down all the excuses you used before and dont let your mind mess you up. I think this TFR is a mental game more than a physical one. i have two or three lists on the go at the moment. one why ive not...

i think you mean someone else... im not married! id have a romantic weekend away with my buddies though hahaahah

so sorry for your loss butterfly hope you are able to get through... can i ask how do you know your finish date already? im trying to predict when i will have the bulk of the weight gone but it feels so massive i cant see an end in sight yet...

third weigh in today down another 5 pounds not to shabby... ill take it. that means im down a stone and 5 pounds in three weeks. nothing better than a bit of motivation to keep me going... hope everyones doing well!

hey everyone! hope everyone is doing well personally ive had the week from hell weigh in tomorrow so nervous/excited to see the results down a stone in the past two weeks so im wondering what week three holds. Week four im hoping will be okay ive been thinking about food alot, my mom...

hi guys i started almost three weeks ago now... down a stone with a weigh in on Saturday (i dont weigh myself in between official ones to keep my head straight) not gonna lie really struggling this week for some reason dunno if its coz of the cold or just being tired from work... either way its...

so i hit the gym today for the first time god i forgot how hard it was hahaha second weight in tomorrow and hoping for great news! im at home alone this weekend so very nervous about picking or something so im planning a weekend full of cleaning and sorting out clothes!! Hope everyone is doing...

it does sound like it would be much nicer than just the shakes plain im loading mine with LOADS of ice which does help them go down a bit faster. might wait until im down a stone or two or three before i start mixing but if lipotrim said it was fine i might if im stuggling! Thanks Guys!

Yeah i saw it asked my pharmacist and she said not to mix them with anything, that mixing with coffee and or tea can effect the balance of chemicals in it and the absorption of the shake, that its better to just stick with the three shakes and not to mix them with anything. Im drinking sooo much...

Hi so i started last Sunday so a week down now. had my first weight in yesterday and down 7 pounds (i think my pharmacist weights in kgs) I have alot to lose and I'm really struggling today after having a terrible week or just feeling brutal. Im hoping that by chatting to you guys i can perk up...
