I've now got chickenpox so can't go to the Doctor. Have done some research and apparently you can lose up to 75% of your hair once you refeed - due to the hair being in a resting state whilst dieting. I've got - well HAD wavy hair to my mid back. I now have I have a rats tail at the back now...

Bumping this thread because even though it is ancient I think I have seen Summergurl posting around here still ? My hair has been dropping out in CLUMPS over the last two weeks. Easily lost 50% of my hair and the loss is very noticable. I'm really stressed over it, so was hoping you could...

So I finished TFR 2 weeks before Christmas. After refeeding I started to notice some light hair loss, but in the last two weeks my hair has been falling out in clumps. I don't mean a few stands - it looks like someone has ripped chunks out. I'd say I've lost about 50% of my hair - and it is...

Ok so today is day 8 of refeed for me. I had a good meal plan in place, which I have stuck to, and I thought I was doing pretty well. At lunch I had Covent Garden Soup Co "Souper Green" (which is basically a load of green veggies chucked in a blender with mint) and a small wholemeal roll...

MMMMMM I just had watermelon and pineapple as my afternoon snack. It was sooooo sweet and juicy - I sort of over indulged and had 3 thick slices of each. Oh well - no point fretting over eating too much fruit. My word though it was gorgeous ! I'm doing a pork stir "fry" tonight (using veggie...

M Burke There are a few things I have done that have helped me with sweet cravings. I recognise that most of my "Sweet cravings" aren't actually to do with being hungry (if it were down to hunger then something from the menu plan would ease the hunger) any desire for sweet stuff is just habit...

I started my refeed on Saturday, but I went to weigh in today, (as I plan to for the next few weeks just so I can get a handle of my portion control and making sure that weight isn't creeping back on) and I have no idea how it has happened but I have somehow lost another 2 lb bringing me down to...

New girl - I wouldn't say I am stuffed, but I do feel comfortably full after a meal and I don't have any cravings to snack or pick. Natalie J - in regards to tin tomato you are allowed tomatoes from day 1 of the refeed so I can't see from a nutritional sense how it would make any difference if...

Not a huge fan of tuna usually, but today I mixed it up for a spicy tex mex style salad and it was rather tasty - especially with the lime juice, Heres what I did for lunch today Serves 2 1 Can tuna in brine, drained and flaked. 1/2 Orange Pepper ( Red or Yellow would do, I just happened to...

I just had the most UHMAYZING homemade sauce - Roast Pepper, Cherry tomato and Red Onion. The original recipe called for onions to be fried and then brown sugar added to counter the acidity of the tomato, but I used red onion instead which is naturally way sweeter than regular white type. Rather...

Today is the last day of TFR for me - Day 1 of refeed tomorrow. In some ways I am sad to have the TFR part of the journey end - because once I got in to the swing of things I actually found it quite easy and super convenient. No wondering what to have for tea, no trawling around the...

HONK FOR DAY 157 The last day of TFR for me. I've been 100% since early July - and time has just flown by ! I may be back in the new year for a short spell if my weight creeps up too much over Christmas, Keep on honking away ladies - you can do it :)

What are the make/name of the scales you bought in ASDA Natalie ? Wouldn't mind seeing if I can find them on ASDA direct....

I'm starting on Saturday although my menu plan is still subject to change as I am researching LOADS of recipes and ideas that I can use to pt a twist on basic Salads and chicken/veg dishes. Here is a great one that I found that I think can be used from the get go of refeed ( can someone...

I've not kept up with my HONKING, but today is the end of week 22 which means HONK for day 154. Last day of TFR on Friday so just 3 more to go !

Another one here for the final week of TFR and again I'm chalking up a 3lb loss this week - bringing me to 8st 1. Before I got to the chemist this morning to weight in I had decided that whatever the scales said is the weight I want to stay at. I was trying on clothes the other day, and I...

Honk for Day 147 ! I've been struggling to keep up with my HONKING of late !

Just 1 lb for me this week. Pharmacist really isn't happy about letting me stay on as they think I have lost enough - I know I have lost loads and I am no longer in the overweight category, but I'd like to be in the middle of the "healthy" BMI range. Definitely my last week on LT as I need to...

Fantastic - and well deserved after all the hard work you have put in !

Thanks ladies - I'm more than fine with 2lb this week as that has pretty much been the pattern of my losses on this plan. I'm just narked at people (who should really know better) coming over all "are you sure you haven't got a problem" when my BMI is a more than healthy 24.5.

Honking for day 140

I STS 2 weeks ago and then had one of my biggest losses the following week. Its annoying as anything when it happens, but as long as YOU know that you have been 100% then the results will show up eventually. End is in sight - just stick with it ETA: I notice your BMI is down at 22 now which is...

Another 2 lb off this week. Pharmacist is starting to get a bit hesitant about letting me stay on LT because I am only weighing in at 8st 5 lb now - which I know isn't much in terms of weight but according to the charts my ideal weight is between 6st 3 (silly) and 8 st 9 Thing is, I am so short...

I could use a copy of the refeed booklet too - my pharmacist never gave me a copy and I am starting to think about a refeed as so very nearly at goal ! email uknitty at gmail dot com (replace the words with symbols) :)

Well after STS last week ( tummy bug knocking things out of kilter ) I dropped a whopping 5 lb this week so I am now down to 8 stone 7. Think this is actually one of my biggest losses since starting as usually I have only been about 2 lb a week. Decided to stay on LT for another week or maybe 2...

Well after an unplanned 18th week on LT I have STS this week . I've actually had less than my regular amount of calories as with the tummy bug I didn't "eat" at all one day. I'm guessing the body does strange things after an illness, and I am putting it down to water retention after the D&V...

Thanks for the replies everyone - I'm feeling much better and yes the LT definitely did help ! I don't think I could have faced anything else - I have been ravenously hungry the last day or so though. Not sure if I have been knocked out of Ketosis somehow (doubtful) or if it is just a natural...

Yesterday was meant to be my final day on LT before switching to Slim and Save, I had a slim and save shake yesterday afternoon cause I had run out of LT but by early evening I was feeling so ill. Without too much detail the rest of the evening until about 3am I had severe D&V - couldn't even...

Last LT weight in for me today and it was a 2LB week bringing me in to the 8 stone bracket at 8 stone 12. Starting S&S today - had my first "non shake" product this morning after weigh in and it felt really weird ! Still got about a stone to go and part of me would like to stay on LT, but it...

One of my best week so far since starting with 4lb off. Absolutely random cause I have struggled to get the water down me this week and also TOTM Last weigh in on LT for me next week, so should hit my target of being in the 8's before switching to S&S Good Luck to the rest of the Tuesday weigh...

3lb for me this week, which is one of my best losses in quite some time. My pharmacist is leaving next week, so I have bought a double week supply of LT having my last "official" weigh in next week, doing 1 week LT on my own which will hopefully get me to the 9st mark, and I've got my Slim &...

Is that your weekly cost ? I pay £36 via my pharmacist - had just assumed it was the same for everyone !

I must be the other way - I'm in to week 15 now and have never got the energetic wonderful feeling that some people talk about ! Most of the time I just feel tired and a bit weak to be honest. Lucky you if you are feeling great :) Stick with it !

I find when I heat up the chocolate it starts off really nice but as it cools can go a bit slimy :( Need to blend it really well and don't let it stand. I added a couple of tablet sweetners to my "hot chocolate" the other day, and it was a very nice change.

I've just placed my order for 28 days of S&S. Still got a weeks worth of LT in my cupboard and I'm weighing in tomorrow - as soon as I hit 9 stone I'm switching over though ! Should only be a few more weeks now.

I've been really struggling the last few days as well. Not actually hungry but just so bored of shakes. Today is Day 96 for me - and has gone pretty quick up until this point but time is dragging on so badly now *sigh*. I'm in work tomorrow so the day should pass quickly then Tuesday morning...

Honk (Day 83)

I'm looking to switch when I drop in to the low 9's - I wanted to do about 16 weeks of LT so I have another 4 weeks or so to go yet. I'll play it by ear, but it looks like we may be swapping plans at about the same time.

I sulked for about 10 days when I lost 1lb :D It sucks so hard, and I thought that I was going to be dragging along at 1 or 2lb a week, but out of the blue the weight loss has picked up again for me. Stick with it and you will break through this plateau.

Hi all I'm thinking about switching to S&S to lose my final stone. I'd say that is likely going to be about 6 weeks before that happens, but I was hoping to get some guidance from people who have made the switch over. Is it worth doing 1 week reefeed from Lipotrim and then Transitioning to the...

I'm thinking along similar lines, but I am thinking of switching to slim and save cause the selection of items appeals to me (and the price is good too !) I'm interested to know if you should do a refeed and then switch or just switch over....

Honk (Day 77)

I understand Mrs R - Truly I do ! I was gutted when I stalled to a measly 1lb. I was so frustrated because I hadn't done anything "different" to cause that to happen, and also like you I honestly thought I had lost more that week 'cause I felt as though I had. I've stuck with it though and the...

3.5 for me this week. Weight loss seems to have picked up again. Very strange because I have done absolutely nothing different in the weeks I have lost 3lb to the weeks when I have lost 1lb. Expecting a slow week next week with TOTM due, so glad to hit target this week. Also - in to single...

Dizzy - if you look at our stats we have exactly the same BMI. Being so short really skews up thinking of things in terms of lbs so I am trying to focus on BMI. ( When I started LT I looked up my ideal weight range and it is between 6 stone 3 lb and 8 stone) Seriously how many grown women...

2lb off for me this week. Better than I expected, but it really is slow going now.... at this rate it is going to be chocolate shake for Christmas Dinner. Or... I maybe even a chicken soup (I've not dared try yet...)

Hope you feel better tomorrow Noitulove. Good luck to all weighing in tomorrow - I think its going to be another 1lb week for me, but we shall see in the morning....

I'm drinking about 3 - 4 litres of water a day and I my motivation for starting lipotrim was to lose weight in a short time frame - even if it was a tougher diet.

I'm absolutely gutted. Despite being 100% since starting 8 weeks ago without even the tiniest little blip, my weight loss has slowed yet further this week to just 1 lb. I have no idea how or why this is happening when I am trying so hard :( Seems absolutely pointless sticking to such a strict...

2.5 lb for me this week. Must admit I am starting to get a bit cheesed off now as my last few weeks losses have been low :( The Pharmacist says this is normal because I am "petite" and didn't start with a very high weight (although my BMI was 35 and I have 4 stone to lose....) Apparently it...

Yup I "go" most days and it is loose. It is down to all that extra water - this is common with quite a few low calorie diets. Plus side is that your digestive tract is also getting a clean out if you are having these symptoms which means you may also start to see clearer skin as your body is...

I think it says an *average* of a stone a month. So yes, you will lose more than a stone a month in the first phase of the diet and maybe a little less as the weight starts falling off. If you look at your figures already you have lost an average of 24lb a month. (33.2/6) * 52/12 = 23.9

Honk (Day 36)

Congratulations - getting closer now :)

Honk (Day 35) Weigh in day - Just 2lb this week, but I am amazed to see the scales move as I seem to be carrying about 7lb of extra water weight courtesy of mother nature.... hopefully a big loss next time.

Middle of week 5 for me and I am so bored with shakes. Definitely not hungry, and not particularly craving any one food I'm just BORED ! I'm just taking it all one day at a time, but I'd like to make it to at least 8 weeks before considering a refeed.

Well done - another good loss :) Must feel great to be ahead of schedule !

That is really good to hear that you maintained whilst on hols :) Did you have to be very careful about what you ate, or were you able to have a couple of treats ?

There is a sticky thread about drinking right at the top of the Lipotrim forum. Drinking alcohol when your liver and kidneys are already working really hard due to the VLCD is a potentially very dangerous move.

Well done you :)

I've got my Week 4 weigh in tomorrow - but I felt pretty much the same as you described this time last week. I'm hoping for a slightly better loss this week, but even at 3 lb a week that is close to a stone a month. I try and think in those terms and that helps me :)

My week 3 (last week) was a bit of a stall for me too. I think week 3 does tend to be a week when things slow down a bit ( My opinion is that week 3 is when the body stops reeling from the shock of the first two weeks and is a bit more conservative with burning energy ! I've looked at other...

Well done :)

I lost 3 lb last week and I was expecting more. (That was also my week 3.) I think that some weeks will be slower than others. From what I can tell people have different weight loss patterns (especially ladies) as our bodies and natural metabolisms are all so different. I know from other diets...

Fantastic Loss :) Well Done !

Good luck with your first weigh in tomorrow Laura. Once you see the results of your hard work it makes it all worthwhile :) Tuesday is weigh in day for me as well - it will be the end of my 4th week. I didn't have a good loss last week (2.75 lb).Think that may be because I retain water weight...

Good Luck Eiregirl - Let us know how you are going on :)

I don't really have anything to say from a medical perspective, but I can only say that I am the sort of person who finds it hard to say no to treats (that is how I ended up on Lipotrim in the first place :D) From a willpower perspective I would find it incredibly hard to stop for just one day...
