Sounds good teapot! I can't see your stats on my iPad - did you reach your goal? I'm guessing so from your picture, you look fab. Well done you!!! Im at my friends leaving doo tomorrow night and that's going to be a challenge on day 4. I must admit its much easier this time around. I wasn't...

Thanks everyone! Day 2 not so bad, it's normally day 3 that's the killer! Teapot - good to see you are still on here! Are you on tfr? X

Hi everyone! It's day one again for me! I reached my goal last year and have put on just under a stone after several trips abroad in the last few weeks so I'm back on the lipotrim wagon to keep myself in check. I haven't updated my stats yet but will do when I log onto a computer at some...

Good luck Sam. Your doing so well and congrats on passing your driving test! X

Thanks Guys! I weighed myself this morning after my holiday and have put on 2.5lbs. Not too bad as I normally put on 5lbs on holiday. I did go a bit mad the first couple of days but kept myself in check the rest of the week. I didn't drink. This was helped as my friend was so sick she didn't...

I'm really pleased for you! Well done! X

Well I finished day 7 of refeed last night and have gained 1.25lbs over the week. I don't feel too bad about that as last time I refed I gained 5lb. I went out for dinner tonight and ate Healthily despite the burger and chips calling to me. I'm out for another meal tomorrow night and then...

I always weigh myself every day too! It's water weight when you put on...i also used to put on a bit when I went to the gym, so i stopped going to the gym and had much better losses. Good luck For your next weigh in!

Goosey.... Welcome back honey! Well done for getting back on it! Can i share with you something that really helps me get back on the diet wagon... As I have a tendency to fall off...alot! My coach said to me last year Q "When you are driving to a destination and you puncture a tyre - what do...

Hi! Good to see you back! Well done for getting back on the lipotrim wagon! X

Well???? The suspense is killing me.... Did you manage under 200lbs???? How exciting! X

Teapot- I bought some holiday clothes when I reached my previous goal weight in the autumn. I think they might be a bit baggy now but they are stretchy so should be fine...I think.... Ill have to try them on now Tom eve...... Just to make sure.... X Day 5 of refeed today and I made myself a...

Oh oh i pressed the button too early! Congrats on your losses this week ladies! Some great numbers there! I weighed in today and I'm the same as I was last week and I'm on day 5 of refeed... I lost 1.5lb during the week and gained 1lb back this morn. Ill be so happy if it stays at that this...

Well doneKatisis, Patricia and Silverwombat

I'm so pleased for you teapot! At least you risked your life to find out some good news!!! :)

Day 2 of refeed didn't really go to plan as I missed lunch! So I had a larger salad with my dinner instead. I did struggle over weather to re-do day 2 but i wouldn't have finished my refeed in time for my holiday so I thought id cope with the consequences of going straight to day 3. I m on day...

Thanks Teapot! Ill make sure I keep logging in to see how you are all doing!

I weighed myself this morning and i am 1/4 lb over my goal weight. I would have loved to have stayed on tfr for a few days longer....OMG i would never had said that last week!!!...to loose a last couple of lbs. however I am going on hols next week and need to refeed! So it's Day one of refeed...

Thanks teapot! Wow Daisy that's really impressive, well done x

Ahh goose! I haven't been great either! Hope all gets better with you, we are always here to lean on! X

Best of luck! I'm doing the same as you as I put 8lbs on too. I started last week and Lost 6.5lbs today! X

Hello! Welcome and congratulations on your first week loss! I had a difficult weekend too! I found it so much easier after the third week when I last did TFR. So much so that I was nervous about eating again and didn't really want to finish as early as I did. Keep at it! You'll do great!

Well done! It's all going in the right direction! I weighed in today and lost 6.5 lbs in the last week. I'm happy with that as i was naughty a couple of times- healthy but off plan. I have 2lbs to get back to my goal weight again. I'm hoping I can do that by wed as I will have to refeed again...

Thank you guys! However last night I caved and went out for dinner. I had a fish salad. Feel like I've let myself down... And I'm not sure if i was in ketosis. I then had some peanuts as I was really craving salt! I have a report to do today for work and really need to feel with it but I...

Hello everyone! I'm back on day 2 of TFR after gaining 8lbs over the last few weeks! I put on 5lbs during my refeed week so assumed that was water back then! However over the last month I feel like I have gained inches - and therefore fat! I thought I better nip the 8lbs in the bud before it...

Merry Christmas and happy Boxing Day to all lipotrimers past and present! Can I say Busy mum and all the others that have stayed 100% this week that you are an absolute inspiration! Congratulations!! I will be joining you all again in Jan as I've put on 5 lbs. xxx

Hi Katbird and welcome! This form is so supportive and a life line when you are on Total food replacement. I've done a couple of boot camps and love them - they're great! Has your pharmacist informed you about refeeding yet? This is a week long requirement when reintegrating food back into...

Busy mum... I'm sitting here laughing as you are right about the packs of butter.... I always knew Maths was not my strong point! Keep smiling.... You'll get there... You know you will! X

I lost 1.5lbs on the refeed but some people loose more! X

Hi chelsbee! Do you have any parties or functions happening over the next three weeks? If you do you wont be able to drink alcohol or eat food! You can still drink fizzy water, tea etc On the plus side if you start lipotrim this week you will loose at least a stone if not more by Xmas! And if...

Hi Nanny! I don't think they are allowed in the first three days but thereafter should be fine in moderation for the first weeks refeed as squishy suggested! X

Sorry miss Columbo meant to say 2lbs is 8 packs of butter, not 4 as I put earlier! Wow! X

My original goals were the same as yours MRS R and I had to refeed at my revised goal of 10.6 due to weddings etc. I stayed at that weight for two months whilst I maintained and came back last month to reach my first goal which I have now done. The benefits in refeeding and maintaining is that...

I'm convinced its water especially as its your totm. Probably a bit too much info but I always get achy boobs when I have water retention! Even when I refed a couple of weeks ago my boobs ached and I knew - even though i couldnt weigh myself- that it was water weight going on as that didn't...

Hi all! I've started to refeed this week and think its important I still log in each week to weigh in. Please feel free to join in and add to this thread! So for me week beginning the 26th Nov I have reached my goal weight 9st 10.5! Weight loss 5lb! X

Sorry Goose- just re read your post which said you didn't exercise! It's got to be water! Here's to a big loss next week! X

Well done whirly! Misscolumbo - 2lbs is 4 packs of butter! So well done! Ahh Goose, it sounds like its just water! i know how it feels but if your weight is increasing then it sounds like water! Are you exercising? I found that I lost very little weight in the weeks that I exercised. Keep at...

Oh we'll done Squishy! I'm really pleased for you! Best of luck with your refeeding and maintenance . I've also started refeeding today! Are you going to continue to weigh in? Shall we start a new thread for those of us that have started to refeed and wish to still weigh in each week in the...

It all looks good to me Goose! Best of luck with the refeed! X

Hi! I was 11 stone 10 and I'm 5ft 4 and my pharmacy allowed me to do it as I was over the max healthy BMI of 25. Best of luck!

Good luck! It's tough but the results are amazing!!

Well done everyone! Some fantastic losses on here! Unfortunately I didn't have access to any weighing scales all week as i have been away so couldn't get weighed in officially! However I did weigh myself at home this morning and it looks like I've put on 5lbs since my refeed over 12 days ago...

Hi Oxygen. If you google "ketogenic diets" you get a few sites that are helpful. Or just follow the induction phase food list of Atkins which provide a list of foods that help to get you into ketosis. It's also available on the Internet! X

Welcome teapot! 2.5 lbs is 5 packs of butter! Well done squishy! Your almost half way to your goal already! Good luck to the rest of the Monday weighers!

Mech - just think.... That's 12 packs of butter you have lost! X

Good luck! You get excellent results with this diet! It just requires a lot of willpower! X

In August I pretty much followed days 4-7 of the refeed plan on my good days but only had bread at lunch time a couple of times a week when I was going to the gym. I maintained my weightloss for two months - going out to eat a couple of times a week too! Typical day would be: Tfr Shake for...

Well done Goose! You must be pleased! Just to let you know that I fitted into size 10s this weekend when I was out shopping! Yippee! I lost 3.25lbs this week which is fab as i have reached my goal! 9st 10lb. I was really nervous getting on the scales this morn as i was away at the weekend and...

Congratulations! The pictures are great! Well done for maintaining for 4 years! What an achievement! X

On my first phase on TFR in June I was really dizzy all of the time. . I read a post on here about reducing your water intake if you have low blood pressure. I was probably drinking 3.5/4 litres a day before now I drink approx 2.5 litres and I've hardly been dizzy at all! Maybe speak to lipotrim...

I lost 20lbs in 5.5 weeks in June! Back again to loose final few pounds!!!!

Hi Sabrina. i felt better once i went into ketosis which was around day 4 for me. Best of luck with your first weigh in! X

Squishy! Best of luck for Monday! Goose- I'm the same as you! A loose size 12. I was late for meetings this morning as I couldn't find anything to wear that fitted me. One of my reasons for loosing weight was so that I could get back into my old size 12 wardrobe! When I tried on the size 12...

I used my fitness pal on my I phone to track my calories and carbs when I finished phase one in August and I maintained my weight. I also went to the gym twice a week. I tried to base my diet on days 4-7 of the refeed week, with a couple of restaurant meals and drinks thrown in a week! X

Hi all! I went to a leaving do after work tonight where I had a glass of sparkling water ...I left early as the buffet arrived so as not to tempt myself! I got to the end of my drink and realised there was a slice of lemon in it. Do you think that will knock me out of ketosis?

Sorry goose - I haven't updated my stats as I normally post from my phone! I don't think I can update them via my phone x

Hi I lost 20lbs on TFR between June and August -i took a two month break thinking i could lose my last 12lbs on a low carb diet or do a phase 2 on tfr in oct. i had lots of functions to go to during my two months off and pretty much managed to maintain my weight during that time. However after...

Well done everyone! Great losses! Fab loss MRS R. My second weigh in and I lost 3lbs this week. I was a bit disappointed with that until I read the posts earlier about the bag of sugar! I went into the kitchen and felt how much a bag of sugar was and then I thought wow I've lost one and a...

Best of luck! Here's hoping for ketosis to set in early- it was on day 4 for me this time around! X

Good luck everyone with their weigh ins tomorrow! X

Well done Kate! You've done so well! Enjoy your birthday and good luck on your refeeding week! X

Strange. In mine it says you can have a 8oz jacket potato on day 3 but doesn't allow you an option for baby new potatoes until day 4. Which was why I advised as per my thread. Did you try the new potatoes and if so did you put on any weight? If not then hopefully it's all ok! X

Congratulations! I'm really pleased for you! You deserve all of your success after 18 weeks of hard work! Keep us updated on your refeeding and maintenance! And treat yourself to a big present! X

I went into ketosis around day 4. It's great because I'm no where near as hungry as I was at the beginning of last week! X

On day 4 it says you can have either a medium jacket or 6 small new potatoes - so If your desperate to have them i would have 6 small ones or 8oz or whichever is less? X

I lost 7.75 lbs this week! Albeit it I started 8 days ago as opposed to 7 and I'm really happy with that! Good luck everybody with your weigh in today x

Hi Happy Chick!! Could you use your date as a mini goal? Would that motivate you to stick with it? I'm always tempted to eat but the main thing that keeps me 100%tfr is the hellish thought of going out of ketosis. i was absolutely starving the first three/four days. Once ketosis kicks in I'm...

Hi Patricia I refed in August and this Is what I ate for the first 4 days: I lost two pounds that week too! Re feeding diary Day 1 breakfast and lunch 2 shakes Dinner 4oz of chicken breast diced and coated in paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper. Dry fried for a few minutes Small salad with...

Hi marah, I weigh myself every morning! Only once a day though! It helps me get through the day if I know im going in the right direction no matter how small the loss.... Naughty I know!

Thanks guys! It's great to see all your support! Re the maintenance stage - After the first couple of weeks after refeed, your stomach is so much smaller its easier not to eat too much! My taste buds changed too. Where I used to have a latte every day before the diet I found I couldn't drink...

Thanks guys! Have found it so much easier now that I've gone into ketosis... Not so hungry now! X

Thanks Mrs R. I feel much better today so ketosis has clicked in I think! Yes fingers crossed for a big weigh in....for us all x

Hi sashakins! I too re- started this week and this is my second time... I started in june and refed in August because I had lots of functions to go to! I put on 2 lbs in two months and then after my holiday last week I put on another 3lbs so thought it best to start phase 2 as soon as I got...

Hi all There are some great losses on here, well done everyone! I started back on TFR for phase 2 of my weightloss journey yesterday and had my first weigh in today so hopefully I will join you all here next week to post my weight loss figures! Have a great week! Many thanks!!!!

Hi all I started phase one of lipotrim in June and refed in August having lost 20lbs. I had loads of functions, weekends away and holidays and would not have been able to stay on full TFR during those two months. Having returned from holiday on Sunday eve, I started phase 2 of my TFR journey...

Hi all I haven't posted myself for a while but still read your posts! I started my refeed 7 weeks ago and have managed in that time to maintain my weight give or take by 2 pounds! However in the last 10 days I've had several retirement doos, two 50th birthday parties and a few curries! I haven't...

I think it sounds like you are being supportive already! I've plotted some practical things below that my other half did to help me out.....if it helps you. For the first three weeks my other half didn't drink wine in front of me, which helped a lot. He would also buy food that I didn't like -...

Hi Do you have an I phone or android phone/tablet? If so I'd recommend the Nike training app. It has a number of workouts you can do at home and add playlists to! When I downloaded it last year it was free. Its very good for a workout at home! Good luck!

Hi I loved reading your post because I too have been asking everyone about what meals they have had. I do it most days! Ive also become slightly obsessed with watching food programmes. I watched The hairy dieters earlier on bbc I player. And I ve been debating whether to throw my larger clothes...

Hi. Welcome and good luck with your first weigh in. I get in late from work most Evenings so I find it best to have my first shake as late in the morning as I can. I have my first at 11, second at 3pm then last one in between 7&8pm.

I liked the chicken soups. I thought they tasted just like chicken cup a soups! But then I used to mix it with 380mls of water!

Welcome! I'm sure you'll do really well. The first week is the hardest.

I am on day 3 of re-feeding week and had a shake and some dry fried chicken and onions and peppers this afternoon! ! I'm so full I don't think I can fit another meal in! However I'm conscious that I need to have a potato today... So maybe I'll just have a potato later... Can anyone advise if...

Hi all When I started I was 11 stone 10lbs and a size 14-16 ( I've got big boobs!) Currently Stats Goal 5ft 4 10st, 4lbs. 9 st 7lbs Size 12-14. Size 10-12

Hi mikigirl! Just wondering how your refeed went? I'm now on day 2 and finding everything better than I expected! Did you loose any further weight in your refeed week? I lost a pound this morn but that's because I finally went to the loo after a week!

Thanks! I'll just stick to herbs! Have you got any simple recipes that you ve been using? How's the rest of your re- feeding going?

I know it's really difficult! I didn't go anywhere in the first week. However I do now and go to the cinema and the theatre, pop around to friends,( bringing my soup with me). I went to see drag divas last night. It's just opened this week in the west end. I must admit all I could do was smell...

Hi! I know it's disheartening but the diet guarantees a weightloss of at least one stone in a month so keep at it! At least for another week. My pharmacist told me that once you put anything in your water it doesn't count towards your quota for the day. She says the more you drink, the more...

Hi all I am starting to refeed on Thursday next week and i have a couple of questions and I would be really grateful for some help please? 1 Can I marianate my chicken on day 1-3 in lemon juice before I grill it? 2 Can I use herbs and spices on my chicken in days 1-3 eg a Cajun spice...

I've lost 16lbs so far. It's my fifth weigh in on Monday. I start re- feeding next thurs as I am going away for a couple of weekends and have weddings, 50th birthdays etc in sept. I still have 12lbs to loose but will see how it goes with the maintenance phase to see if I can loose it that way...

I felt exactly the same way in my first week. I took one day, one week at a time! I was really impressed I lasted a week to be honest, never mind 5. As was everyone else that knows me! The weightloss is the biggest motivating factor in staying on programme as is this forum! You'll feel so...

Wow, that looks like an amazing difference! I had a massive belly when I started 5 weeks ago and it's going down too. It's taken me 4 weeks though to loose one stone! X

Absolutely! I must admit, I like the soup. I think it tastes like a chicken cup a soup. I do dilute it with 400ml of water though. I didn't like the chocolate shake at first but I think once you go into ketosis they taste better. I've really enjoyed the chocolate one in the last couple of days...

Wow sunshine! What a difference in 6 weeks! You look great x

Hi hon. My advice would be to have a whole shake. The 10 calories you sipped with your soup really won't hinder your weightloss. X

Well done for getting back to it! Did it affect your weight loss at all? I was out again this eve drinking mint tea and sparkling water! It helps my boredom to get out for a bit! But boy would I love a large glass of wine!!!!!!

Best of luck! You can do it! X

Hi shyvon! Well done for keeping the weight off! Can I ask how you kept it off? I'm refeeding in a couple of weeks and am worried I'll put it back on!

Oops, I pressed the button too early! Really pleased to hear about your weight loss. I've lost 13lbs now in total. Just one more pound to reach my one stone mini target! I have another two weeks before I refeed as I have weekends away and weddings in sept! I'm hoping to loose another half a...

Yes, I'm still going and I haven't cheated once!

I know what you mean! I only told one person in the first week. Once the initial conversation takes place however around "is it healthy for you? are you sure it's not a quick fix?" they are very supportive as they know I've been trying to loose weight for a couple of years! I'm also the sort of...

Hi dizzy and Tigger. I didn't go out at all in the first week and was bored bored bored! Last week and this week however I have gone out and sat in restaurants and pubs drinking sparkling water. It makes me feel a little normal and most of my friends understand and don't try to force me to...

Hi Gina I ve just started week 3 and I'm still glad that I had a Chinese and a Thai the weekend before I started! You will feel so much better next week so keep at it. Reading this forum has really helped me too and kept me motivated! I love reading about everyone's successes and everybody is...

At my second weigh in on monday I had lost 9lbs in total. No way near some of the losses elsewhere on this forum but still the most I've lost on any other diet in two weeks! I also haven't cheated once so im really proud of myself. If I did cheat it would be a slippery slope for me...and I'd...

Well girls? How are we doing? I feel a lot better this week. I've kept to it even when I was out for my cousins 21st on Saturday night and they were all eating Chinese! I joined them a bit later and sat there with some sparkling water! I never knew I had so much will power! It smelled divine...

Hi! It's my 5th day too! Its my first time on LT and reading the other posts really helps me! Plus - I know your not supposed to but I weigh myself at home and can see the pounds reducing which is a real motivator! Keep at it and we can help motivate each other! X
