Thanks.....That gives me some things to consider in terms of portions/foods....:)

I think my clothes feel slightly better. That is a good sign. I don't need to lose much weight, but I don't want to let my weight keep creeping up, so I would rather try to eat well and lose a bit. I don't want to put my body through the shock of a total food replacement diet again - even...

Thanks for your reply. I have basically been doing 1 chocolate whip and 2 meals a day. I went away for a week and ended up not doing that but I am back now. As it was an active week I don't feel I have gone backwards. At least I don't feel any bigger - and have stopped buying certain foods that...

I did the full meal replacement in 2012/2013 and lost a large amount of weight and successfully kept my weight down. Fast forward to 2022 and I have put on some weight. I don't weigh myself these days but I know my clothes are not feeling great. Some I am not wearing at all as they are too...

I did the full meal replacement in 2012/2013 and lost a large amount of weight and successfully kept my weight down. Fast forward to 2022 and I have put on some weight. I don't weigh myself these days but I know my clothes are not feeling great. Some I am not wearing at all as they are too...

I have got saggy bits - boobs and tummy are a little saggy. But I would rather have the saggy bits than go back to how big I was. Noone can see it under my clothes.

I wouldn't want to set myself up as an expert. I am reminding myself of where I was this time last year and how far I have come. I feel a lot better physically and more confident in myself. I am trying to be healthy - I actually like lots of healthy things. The less healthy things are not...

Hello there. I did Lipotrim TFR 100% last year and lost a considerable amount of weight. I feel a lot better physically and emotionally. It was very hard but I stuck with it - a day at a time, a week at a time etc. I had weeks that were disapointing and other weeks where I was surprised by...

Update: I got given a really useful leaflet by the chemist just over a week ago. A shame they didn't have it when I decided to go onto maintenance over christmas!

I did have a look on here for info: http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-refeeding/24170-refeeding-after-lipotrim-total-food-replacement-without-excessive-weight-regain.html I think I am doing reasonably well in terms of eating a variety of meat/fish, veg and potatoes. Tinned fish can be very...

I don't think the chemist people know much about refeeding to be honest. I reintroduced a little carbs 2 week's ago. I am having a few new potatoes with my meals. I am trying to do 2 meals a day at the moment and 1 maintenance product, having done 1 meal a day and 2 maintenance products for a...

Hi there. I have done really well on losing a lot of weight but now need to find out what I can eat and keep my weight stable. I lost 4 lbs this week. I am going to up my meat/fish portions a little bit this week and have a little bits of carbs as I hadn't introduced those. I hope I can keep my...

Hi there - I transferred from TFR to maintenance over christmas. I am now on 2 maintenance foods and 1 meal a day for the last 2 weeks (over christmas). I had actually lost 6lbs when I got weighed in last Saturday.

This diet is hard. Particularly the first couple of weeks. I think you really have to want to do it or you will find another way. It is tough. I have had weeks where I have lost nothing and a few weeks where the loss was bigger. It all adds up. You have to keep that goal in mind and see that...

Weirdly enough I think I lost 2 lbs the first week (I wasn't managing to drink enough water for the first week or so). I lost 8lbs in my second week. I have had a few odd weeks where I haven't lost anything. I was very physically active this week and drinking lots of water but it is still a...

I lost 8lbs this week. I am doing one more week of TFR then onto maintenance. :D:party0011::woohoo:

Yes. I hope being more active this week will help me lose a bit this week. I also hope I can continue to lose a little more when I start on maintenance. We'll see.

I am hoping someone on here may have managed to move from a long period of TFR to maintenance and continued losing weight. I'm doing my last TFR week this week. After that I will be moving onto maintenance drinks. I am hoping to continue the loss a little (only about 7 lbs) but am moving onto...

I lost nothing this week. I do think I have struggled with drinking cold water this week and am possibly constipated too. Next week is my last week on TFR and then onto maintenance. I hope I can continue to lose a bit on maintenance but I shall have to see how it works - as I feel I could...

I think my hair has started shedding a bit too in the last few weeks.:eek: I am only doing 1 more week TFR anyway I think and then onto maintenance which hopefully will help.

Yes - I feel lots better and look better too. :) I want to reintroduce the food soonish I think. I want to try to stay healthy and maybe continue to lose a little before stabilising. I don't want to try to get my weight too low though - I want to be able to maintain it in the long term. ;)

I lost 2lbs today! Thinking about when I will start reintroducing food. Probably soon. :kitty: :kitty: :kitty:

I've had weeks where I have lost nothing - and it can really make you feel miserable. Especially at the beginning. I don't think I was drinking enough water. Plus TOTM. It is best to just think of it as a long term thing and keep going. Another week you will probably lose more which will make up...

Sounds like you have lost a lot in your 10 weeks - try and think about the overall journey and you are still losing and on your way to your goal. I have had weeks where I haven't lost a pound. There will be weeks where you don't lose as much - another week may make up for it. It all averages out...

I am really pleased with my achievement so far. I am getting told I look much better for my weight loss. I have shape to my face, I can fit in clothes I haven't been able to for some time. I feel better too. It is tough but worth it. I am trying to decide what to do with my hair and give myself...

I think I found the first 2 weeks hardest. I think I still get odd rumbles and "hunger" feelings which I deal with by drinking some water but most of the time I feel fine. It is tough but worth it. If you get headaches you may not be drinking enough water.

I keep my shakes cold. I lost 4 lbs today! :party0011::party0011::party0011: Which means I have now lost 4 stone! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Well done everyone so far. I don't know exactly what weight I want to get down to. I want to get under 11 stone and keep losing until I feel I am as low as I want to get. I don't want to stop too early - you put a little back on when you eat food so I want to still feel good when a bit goes on...

I lost 4 lbs this week. That was a very pleasant surprise! :party0011::woohoo::bunnydance:

I hope you are all doing well. I lost 2 lbs today. :kitty::kitty::kitty:

I lost 3 pounds today (it was almost 4 - but we called it 3). :bliss: I do feel a lot better for the amount I have lost over the months. I look better too. I got 2 bargains today - a cardigan and jumper in a shop for £10. I think it is nice to treat myself - and I know the cardigan and jumper...

I have had my wobbly times where I wondered whether this was worth it but I have managed to keep going. Having people who know how hard it is and to remind you that it is the long haul that counts rather than this week's loss helps. They help encourage you when you are feeling low. Strawberry...

Usually I go for my weigh in on a saturday but I can't go tomorrow so I did it a day early. I looked at the scales and it looked like I had lost 1/2 lb. But the chemist said it had stayed around the same. I am in this for a bit longer so it doesn't bother me. Had run out of chocolate shakes...

Thanks - I will think about it before making any decisions. :) [739976]How about buying a steamer?? They're relatively inexpensive and you can cook your meat and vegetables all in one pan so less washing up and steaming food retains the moisture in your meat/fish and also doesn't destroy as...

I am definitely going to have to reeducate myself regarding food when I start eating "normal" food. I am thinking of buying one of those George Foreman style grilling machines as that might make my cooking easier (I am not much of a cook) so I can cook small portions of meat or fish and...

Its taken 11 weeks. I am going to stay on TFR as long as the chemist will allow me. I was hoping to get down to around 10 stone although the lady in the chemist last week (not the usual lady) reckoned around 10 stone 10 would be about right. I shall see how long they let me stay on it. I was...

It does get easier. The first week is definitely the hardest in my opinion. The second week was also bad for me - I felt quite bad tempered and angry. After that it did get easier. And once you can see the weight coming off you have the incentive to continue. I got through the bad periods a day...

I had my weigh in on Saturday and I lost 6 lbs this week. That means I have lost a total of 3 stones! :bunnydance::bunnydance:

Its easier to stick to it once you have adjusted to it. Early on you feel angry/upset and deprived. Once you start seeing the weight coming off that is an incentive to stick with it. I think I will stay on it.

I think the way this works you can lose less one week and more another. Hormones/periods, water intake and all sorts of things affect it. You have done really well so far! :) I am getting tempted to stay on TFR for longer (and just not let onto people who are worried about me staying on it)...

I spoke to the chemist about maybe going onto maintenance in a couple of weeks. I am disapointed/fearful at the thought of doing this - although I didn't tell them this. I am hoping that I will still lose on maintenance as I have heard it is possible. I am sad at the thought of the...

I lost 2 lbs this week. Of course I would have loved a higher loss, but 2lbs off is still good. I spoke to the chemist about maybe going onto maintenance in a couple of weeks. I am disapointed/fearful at the thought of doing this. I am hoping that I will still lose on maintenance as I have...

I feel good - apart from my energy levels get low at certain times and this makes the physical activity harder for me. I don't feel like running around which is what I get asked to do. I have felt a bit dizzy on a couple of occasions due to (I think) finding it hard to drink enough water in...

I am studying on a college course which is very physically demanding. I have managed to get through a few weeks and have even lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks. But - a tutor has suggested I need to eat some food in order to keep up with the physical demands of the course. I have lost a lot...

I thought I should prepare myself for a lower level of loss this week as I lost 5 lbs last week but when I went today I had lost 5lbs this week too. I am pleased to be losing weight and feel like I can start to see the results, although I still have more to lose to get to a healthy weight for...

I am more active these days - big lifestyle changes. I am not going to the gym or doing weights but am doing some dance and physical activity. I am glad I am more active but hopefully my body won't go into starvation mode. I am trying to keep drinking water and am having three shakes a day. I...

Hi there. Thanks for trying to help me see it is worth sticking to lipotrim. I assume everyone has a bad week where you feel like giving up. Thankfully I also have supportive friends who also try to remind me to keep going. I was just in fear that if this week's weigh in was not good I would get...

I lost 5 pounds this week.:kitty:

Just need to express my fear of weigh in this week. I lost O lbs last week but was more physically active. This week I am not looking forward to being weighed. I don't feel any thinner and will feel very annoyed if I haven't lost anything or even worse put anything on. I want to carry on with...

I lost 0 lbs last week despite being more physically active. So I will probably fail to reach my target unless I somehow lose a lot this week. However I am sticking with Lipotrim.

I found the first week I was hungry all the time. The second week I was not so hungry but quite grouchy. Now I am used to it and pleased to be free from having any obsession with food. It is actually great to just put powder and water together and not waste time on food. I have just started a...

I suspect that you won't be the only person judging yourself harshly. I feel like despite my weight coming off I don't look much smaller. Others say they can see it. My face looks slimmer. But my back/chest/stomach is still huge. I also wish the weight would come off my bust as I hate it the...

Well done! :) I lost 4 lbs this week. I feel good about that. :)

I have had people asking me how long I am going to stay on it. I have only been on it 6 weeks and one friend suggested I should think about coming off it - but I still have a lot of weight to lose and Lipotrim is the quickest safe way to lose the weight. I think I need to stay on it for a few...

Sorry to hear that. But once your BP stabilises you can decide whether to go back to TFR - obviously your health is the most important thing and your doctor will be the best person to get advice from on that score. :bighug:

I feel depressed if I think about how long it is likely to take me to get to the healthy weight. It helps if I just try to do my best for this week. I hope I lose a good amount. 2-3 pounds somehow seems too little. 4 pounds somehow seems much better - mad I know! I keep getting told I look a lot...

I am hoping I can manage to lose around 1 stone a month (obviously I would love more than that - wouldn't we all?!) so yes, I suppose it will take about 4 months. I keep getting people asking me how long I am going to do it - as if it is really dangerous to stay on this in the longer term. One...

I get cold hands and feet. My mouth feels yucky too. But other than that I am ok this week. I did feel faint the other day and made sure I got some water down me as soon as I could.

I know this was explained to me and I need to speak to the pharmacist again, but how long is it safe to stay on 100% TFR Lipotrim? Do people do it for a period, then do refeed and return to 100% TFR again to bring their weight down further? I'm asking because I am thinking about how long it may...

I forgot to say - my weigh day is Saturday. :silly::giggle:

This is one thing I am doing for me. I want to be healthy for me. I want to feel better about my appearance for me. I want to build in confidence and be more comfortable in my own skin. Its about learning to treat my body with respect and looking after it. I do have to say that I also get a...

I hope to lose 14 lbs in the 4 weeks - a bit late joining in I know. I was away for a few days and am catching up...I have lost 6 lbs in the first two weeks of september already (although the first 2 lbs won't count towards this as it was 2 days before monday 3rd).

Well done. You look much healthier now. :)

I lost 4 lbs this week. I have lost a total of 1 stone and 6 lbs in 5 weeks which is pretty good I think! :party0011: Good luck with doing the refeed. :eating:

I double checked with the person on the phone from Lipotrim and they said it didn't include herbal teas/non caffeine tea/coffee. Maybe she was just saying it to me as she thinks I am not drinking enough all round....

Hi there. Alz4jono - sorry to hear you have had a tough time. I am ok but haven't been on here for a few days. I lost very little last week - even though everyone says they can see how much I am losing! The pharmacist says I am not drinking enough water and that is why I feel a bit dizzy/my BP...

I was freezing last night too. I couldn't sleep as I felt so cold. Eventually I warmed up but not until I had spent some time wanting to sleep and finding it impossible.

Well done both of you! :bliss:

alz4jono - that treatment is outrageous. Good on you for getting through it even though it was embarrassing. I got the feeling my doctor doesn't approve of total food replacement diets. She said they refer people to dieticians. That's all well and good but I get demotivated from losing so...

Failedatdietsfor15years! - I was just saying to my mum last week that the chocolate would probably be good heated up. I may try it some time! The doctor had never heard of the diet before. I don't think she was impressed with just 3 shakes and no food. But she could see I had lost...

My doctor knew nothing about Lipotrim. I don't think they had heard of it. She said my BP is always a bit low and measured it today and said it was fine. It has risen since saturday (unless the chemist's machine is faulty). She said she couldn't advise me on the diet but if it was harming my...

I had a work related lunch which was awkward. I think they thought I should make an exception and eat something but I wanted to stick with it as I had only just started on it. I had a few moments where I wanted to cry but thought about how I was doing this because I need to get my weight under...

Well done so far. Keep going. I only lost 2 pounds in my first week and was a bit gutted. But my next week was better. I am sure the loss can vary week to week for a variety of reasons but if you are sticking to it and keep going you will get there in the end! :D And it is about making longer...

Thanks for the tip - I may have to try those ones next time I buy them. I'll admit I am not so much a mint tea person. Something I do occasionally is add a mint tea bag with my redbush tea bag to make a weirdly not bad mixture! :coffee:

I sympathise with feeling achey/tired. I've been getting backache - and I am trying to drink more water to help. I don't know how anyone can exercise on this as I feel a bit worn out myself and have had some dizzyness. But people tell me I look well. I can see my face looks better already -...

Hi there. I am not feeling so sorry for myself now. I haven't had the energy to do much exertion - and was feeling a bit faint on and off too. I have low blood pressure since I started this, then the backache and am going to check with the doctor it is ok for me to continue. I have really...

Apologies for this slightly sad, self indulgent and self obsessed post in advance.... I'm in week 4 and have been struggling to drink enough water. I managed to drink 1 litre on the way to work today, and have been drinking non caffinated drinks all day (bar one coffee this morning). I have...

I had a restful bank holiday. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to get my blood pressure checked and talk to the doctor about the Lipotrim. I don't want to come off it if I have a choice - not because I love the shakes, but because I want to continue losing weight at a faster rate than with a...

Hi there. I have mine too. I suspect that and not drinking enough water may have made my loss less visible this week but I still managed to lose 4 lbs and that means I managed 1 stone in 3 weeks. I need to drink more water though. I get constipation and backache if I don't - so I need to work on...

I know I need to try to measure it. I am trying but may not be drinking as much as I estimate I am. I really need to try harder/put the effort in to measure it to ensure I am doing my best.

My personal experience is that I am being told to try to drink more water. I don't measure my water intake but thought I was drinking enough. I have been getting constipated and drinking more water should help with that. I am also going to use the fibre powder too. I suspect the reason I only...

I thought it was probably a sign of not enough fluids. I think I find it easier to drink water/fluids some days than others. I am trying! :sick0019: I've been told to up my water intake and go to the doctors to check up my low blood pressure. I lost 4 lbs this week - so I have lost exactly 1...

Well done :)

1st week - 2 lbs 2nd week - 8 lbs 3rd week - 4 lbs So a total of 1 stone lost so far. I think I need to up my water intake and take some fibre. That may help me. But I also need to go to doctors just to check with them as my blood pressure is a bit low. I do hope I can stay on this since it...

Hi there. I am ok today. Just been having a relaxing time the last couple of days. I have tried to make sure I drink enough water but I think I need to use the fibre powder as I have odd days where I have trouble going! I have to travel back home to get to the chemist tomorrow - I am trying not...

Yes - Well done! :)

Just do your best - that is all any of us can do. Had a meal situation today. Had to sit and watch others eat nice food. There were a few moments I felt deprived and wanted to cry! The smell of cooking food was good - I had to stick to the plan though. I had my shake and lots of fizzy water. I...

I am grouchy and bad tempered at the moment! :mad: And at times feeling faint.

Good luck in the future - and I hope you manage to find the right way to lose the weight you want to and feel healthier.

I know how you feel - I feel the same. I'm a bit snappy with people at the moment. I just haven't got much patience. :badmood::flamingmad: :grumble: :rant2: I feel really worn out. I started feeling faint last week at certain points in the day and though I haven't fainted I feel like my energy...

I'm sorry to hear about this. Maybe you should go to the doctor and get yourself checked up just to put your mind at rest that you are not putting yourself at risk of harm. I've felt a bit faint and was told last week (end of week 2) that my blood pressure was a bit low. I am a bit concerned...

Sorry to hear that. Good luck for the future - and with your food/eating and weight. I am sure you can find a way to continue the weight loss from here on.

I did lose 8 lbs in week two. I felt relieved to know it was working at last. I think I was dehydrated and constipated in week one. I am trying to drink loads of water now - although I keep having to run to the loo. I am sticking with this and hope to continue to lose weight. I think I should be...

Hi there. It had to happen.....I left my shaker behind and ended up trying to shake a shake at work in a container with a lid....I was too scared to shake it too vigorously in case I had an accident and shake ended up on the walls so I ended up with a rather lumpy shake which I had to stir a...

Chicken soup - for me much worse than marmite! :sign0137:

I think I would have found it really hard without the variety - it is hard enough without a lack of choice of shakes on top. I am sure you appreciate them all the more for it.

Wow! That is inspirational. Good for getting through the party. I think social events/interaction around food are the thing that scares me the most. I hope I will stay on this and continue to lose weight, feel better and look better. I know I think noone would find me attractive. I have a do...

Yes I feel like I have made progress this week. I am a bit concerned about the blood pressure though. I am trying not to worry.

I was weighed today and I lost 8 pounds this week. That means I have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks which is good. It is progress. They took my blood pressure at the chemist and said it was a bit low but not too much to get worried about. They said they would check it next week. They told me to try to...

I brush my tongue every morning! My mouth feels a lot fresher afterwards.:D

Welcome. It isn't easy for the first few days. This week was easier for me. We are all on here for the same reason and hopefully can lose weight and feel healthier as a result. That is the most important thing.

Welcome. I would second the advice to drink lots of water. I thought I was a big water drinker but am having to make a huge effort to drink more. It isn't easy the first few days - but after that it gets easier. Just take it a day at a time. :)

Good to hear you got a selection of shakes and now have a wider menu! I suppose I shall need to go to the doctors then - just for a check up. Well done on your weight loss. I'm trying not to get hung up on the figures. Someone reckoned I look a bit thinner. I told her I don't want to get too...

Good luck with the weigh in. I am sure we all have trying times that make us want to stop doing this - I know my first few days were the worst. I miss savoury food as the shakes just provide a sweet flavour - but if this helps me to lose a good amount of weight more quickly and get to a healthy...

Its good to have a forum to pop onto and see how other people are doing. What challenges there are etc. :) It reminds us we are not the only people doing these diets.

Every time I see a thread with a title like this, my first thought is "someone has just tried the chicken soup for the first time". :D I thought that too! :giggle:

I think you did very well to lose the weight before starting Lipotrim. Give it until the end of the week at least and weigh up what you want to do. :) I only lost 2lbs in my first week. I am hoping to lose a bit more this week or I will feel a bit disapointed as I have been sticking to the...

Hi there - well done. It is a bit boring but I am not too bothered. I did feel a bit grumpy yesterday when I thought about having a meal and how I can't have it at the moment.... Someone told me the other day they thought they could see a bit of weight loss in my face. I am trying to keep...

My nail painting usually covers a bit of the skin around the nail - but it peels off so I don't care too much....

Those nails look lovely! I currently have blue nails (self painted). :)

Well done!

I love Wholenut peanut butter on wholemeal toast so those flapjacks sound nice! :kitty: It sounds like your reaction to the flapjacks was luck mine to the soup! I have trouble concentrating at work but that's normal. And my mobile phone keeps ringing with personal calls.:blahblah:

"Mostly I learned that being fat is a mental state as much as a physical one. A state where you don't feel you're worth looking after." OMG! I really identify with this. I was telling someone this is how I feel a lot of the time..... Well done on your achievement - and to maintain that...

I reckon I may have to try the fibreclear. I am trying to drink more water since that may help too after getting what I think was a dehydration migraine.....

At least at the chemist I go to they have a good supply of the shake flavours/soups - although I couldn't eat the soup. I am glad I like all 3 shake flavours as that means I have the variety of them. I am trying to drink lots of redbush tea/water in the day to keep myself hydrated.... I hope...

I'm ok. I was a bit disapointed since I was hoping that I would be really pleasantly surprised. But I am ok. I am just going to see how this week goes - a day at a time.:)

Hi there. I am feeling much better today. I am trying to drink more water and redbush tea today. I'm not feeling hungry but I do miss the variety of drinks I would usually have. I hope I can keep going. I am just taking it a day at a time. I worry that the pharmacist thinks I cheated last week...

Well done! Keep going! I reckon you should do exercise when you feel a bit stronger and are more used to it but others may have more experience than me. Well done. :D

Wow! Good to hear some inspirational stuff. I remember being small/slim - some years ago - and would love to be again. I don't wear clothes I would like to wear due to my weight. I just buy things to try to hide my size now. I used to have pride in my appearance and loved putting my clothes...

I'm feeling really ill today. I ended up not going into work due to a really bad migrane and am in bed. I don't think I am drinking enough water so I am trying to drink it regularly. I haven't taken any pain killers yet - I may do so if the migraine won't shift. I also had no coffee yesterday...

Hi there and welcome. I had to just keep busy in my first few days. I am just starting week 2. It isn't easy but I am hanging in there.

I noticed I am not the only one to lose 2lbs on week one. My green tea was leaves rather than teabags. I made sure my mint tea bags didn't have any fruit in - I know you have to check all the labels as a lot of the herbal teas have all sorts of fruits added. I got some redbush tea today to add...

I'm definitely going to drink a lot more water - I have been drinking lots today since seeing the chemist! I am also listening to the DVD online too....:)

I don't mind redbush tea but wasn't sure it was allowed - redbush tea here I come! Thanks for letting me know...:D

:eek: I wish I had been told that caffeinated drinks were bad and didn't count for hydration purposes! I wasn't told that. So black or green tea/coffee are not counted in your water intake? :eek: I am not keen on mint tea so I was putting green (ie black) tea with it - so that means almost none...

I'm ok. I only lost 2 lbs this week which was a bit disapointing since I have a lot to lose and have stuck to this religiously. I am sticking to it a day at a time. I suppose it could have been worse - I could have lost 0lbs or put weight on somehow!

I had my first weigh in today. I started last monday so it is day 6 today. I have followed it strictly - 3 shakes a day, water, black coffee, green tea, mint tea, water and those mouth freshner strips. I didn't want to build up my hopes for good results but most people lose a good amount on the...

You are doing well. I don't think I have been drinking enough water. I had my first weigh in and had only lost 2 pounds which was a bit disapointing as usually you would expect to lose the most at the beginning of a diet. I have stuck to it strictly - although I have been relying on black coffee...

I am in a weird place with food today. I am really sensitive to food smells and found a couple of wafts of food strangely unpleasant. I am ok with the shakes. I am not finding it too hard today. I am treating the shakes as essential food and nutrition and hopefully this break from normal eating...

Well done alz4jono. I know what you mean on the wondering whether it will be worth it. I have to just get through each day one day at a time. I daren't think about how long I will be on this or I might get down...

:)Well done!

NuPhar do some strips -the lady in the chemist told me about them when I decided to start Lipotrim. Better than nothing! I only use non alcoholic mouth wash but haven't been using mine since apparantly is not a good idea. I'm not sure if anyone else has better advice on that score but I am sure...

Sounds good. I think everyone has to try the flavours and make up their own minds. I wonder if I just found the soup a shock having got used to shakes? But I don't think I am going to try another one!

Well done! :) I am a bit nervous about the weigh in in case I don't lose much and feel disheartened. And the weekend will be tougher than the week for me I think.

I think the people who have responded have said what I would have said - I think the results vary and some of it is related to how heavy you are at the start. Well done so far and keep going.:)

I'm so glad I only took 3 sachets of the soup from the chemist last week - thankfully. I tried one and I have enough sachets to keep me going until tomorrow. I will take them and swap them for shakes. Good luck with your weigh in. I am worried about mine. It will be hard if I haven't lost very...

It is strange. The first taste wasn't so bad but I just knew I couldn't eat the whole thing. I only used the recommended amount of water - I really don't think I should try another one of those. I don't mind the shakes. I think they are tasting better each day. I was disapointed with my first...

Thanks. I just looked and I think I know how much I managed to drink - so I will make a shake and just leave a bit of it at the bottom. I know not to bother with soup again though. I'm not sure why I found it yukky. I am sure it will be fine. I've been sticking to the plan 100% so I have been...

Hi there everyone. Day 4 and I am ok. I am sitting with an uneaten chicken soup by my side. I really can't face it - but apart from that I am fine. I am amazed I have managed this long. I hope I can continue as this seems to work if you stick to it - judging from this forum. I am taking it a...

I have been shaking the shakes in the shaker but have got a stick blender now. I have found the shakes ok - not anything to get excited about, but they are nourishment and ok. I just tried the chicken soup today and wished I hadn't - but maybe some people actually prefer it?

I made a chicken soup and had a few sips and can't drink it. I really can't. At first I thought "it isn't so bad" but within a couple more sips I realised I really can't drink it. I am now wondering whether I should make up a milkshake and drink it - leaving a bit of it at the bottom since I...

Hi there. I am sure you can get through it. I hope I can be inspired by others to keep this up. I am on day 4 today. I am just taking it a day at a time or I will get depressed about it!

Welcome. I'm a newbie to all this. I am on day 4. I haven't found it as hard as I thought it would be. I think it helps that I'm working. That distracts me. I drink lots of black coffee to keep me going through the morning and green tea and mint tea for the afternoon. I am also drinking...

I have done very well so far - I really wasn't sure if I could do 4 days or if I would get so hungry I would give up. I keep thinking it will get better. I just tried the chicken soup and thought it was ok - until sip 3.....Now I can't face drinking it so it is sat beside me. I am contemplating...

Chub - sounds like you are doing very well. Congratulations on your achievement so far. I got through day 4 ok until I got home and tried the chicken soup flavour. I really can't bring myself to swallow it. I have had a few sips and had to stop.. I don't know what to do. Maybe I should just...

Yep. Fizzy water definitely helps! Not all the time but for some variety. On day 4. OK so far. Not as testing as I thought it would be. I thought last night about how much I will try to appreciate food when I eat it again. I do love some healthy foods. I love broccoli - and I suspect that it...

I'm ok. I still haven't tried the vanilla coffee yet. I am on day 4 today. I feel ok. I haven't felt as starving as I would have imagine - just a bit fed up with lack of choice (although it saves time) and a bit hungry/mouth feels bad.... But I feel a bit "lighter" - I don't want to imagine I...

I think for me I haven't felt too bad physically - apart from a few energy lapses here and there. The worst thing for me is wondering how long I will be doing this for. I really can't think about that or I will get depressed and give up. I think doing it in August is probably a good idea. I...

I got through day 3. Hopefully it will get easier. I think for me the worst thing is that I can't have fizzy drinks (I usually have the odd bottle of diet pepsi or coke in the day)- so I have bought some fizzy water to help me feel like I am still having some fizz. I suppose I am still feeling...

Snap - my doctor tests me regularly for diabetes. Probably since they know I had 2 relatives who developed type 2. I am on tablets to lower cholesterol and also got diagnosed with under active thyroid too. I know I need to stick at this. I am not naturally tiny like some people are - but I...

I think one person I know thought I would crack on my first day. I managed to get though 2 days and am on day 3 now. I still feel a bit hungry - I am looking forward to that feeling going away in time. I have to think about why I am doing this - I can't stay the size I am. I wonder if the...

Well done for sticking it out. Day 3 for me. I know people say it gets easier - I am wondering when I will feel this. At the moment I am just getting through it a day at a time. The shakes aren't so bad but I need to try not to focus on feeling hard done by that I can only have them - I just...

I'm feeling ok at the end of day 2. A bit tired but ok. Just wondering if I can keep going a day at a time. I am 15 stone 2 and 5 foot 6. I do hope I can lose at a decent rate or I will wonder why I am bothering...I miss being able to drink different fluids - already. Anyway time for bed...I...

I feel ok on my 2nd day - but am really worried that I will not manage to stick to it. I find it hard not being able to drink anything other than black teas/herb teas/coffee/water.....I hope I manage to keep going.

Hi there. I am on day 2. I'll admit I am wondering if I can keep this up. I don't feel as hungry as I would have expected but it is a bit odd just drinking the shakes. That said, it is a bit odd binge eating food (which is the pattern I want to break) I prefer the vanilla shake flavour. I felt...

I felt like my breath might be starting to go yucky at the end of day one but I suspect that was my imagination. I know my mouth felt manky today (day 2) so I used a couple of breath freshner strips at different times. I wish I could chew gum as that would help with the breath - but never mind...

Hi there. I'm on day 2 and not feeling as physically bad as I might have expected so far. Missing the food a little - but not the bingeing as that is what I tend to do and I want to break the bad habits and create new ones that are healthier. Am feeling sad that I have to put myself through this...

Hi there. I am on day two. I have no scales at home which I think is probably better for me. I will just rely on the weekly weigh ins at the chemist. I have spoken to people who ask me how long I will do this for. To be honest, I want to take this a day at a time and see how it goes. I would...

Welcome. I am new myself and am just into my second day. I am not feeling as tired or weak as I thought I might. It is just needing to remember I am doing this for my own good (e.g health and increased self confidence I hope) - not to punish myself and try to keep motivated.

Welcome. Well done so far. I am on my 2nd day. I hope I can stick to this and manage to lose weight. Then I have to learn how to keep the weight off and eat healthily.

I have colgate non alcoholic one in the blue bottle - I think it is sensitive. Anyway I won't use it. I have some of the fresh breath strips - I have put them in my handbag for tomorrow. I have managed to get through today. I have got a glass of water by my bed with a mint teabag in! I am...

I felt ok until mid afternoon. I am feeling a bit hungry - I may well not be drinking enough water but have had lots of black coffee, mint tea and at the moment a mint tea bag with some green tea leaves added....What makes it worse is I am leaving my job soon and my manager keeps talking about...

Hi there. I am new to this and have started today. Welcome.

Hello. Thanks for your replies and encouragement. I am just finishing my first shake - a vanilla one. It was ok - not unpleasant. I have a black coffee waiting on my desk and a bottle of water too. I am just going to try my best and remember I am doing this for my health and wellbeing. I suspect...

Hello. I'm new to Lipotrim and to the forum. I haven't started it yet. I collected a selection of packs from the chemist today having thought it over for a few weeks. I hope I can use Lipotrim to get my weight to a healthier level and slim down to a smaller, healthier size. I know I need to...
