Thank you Ms R, the pharmacist wants all his patients to start refeeding early so not rushing for Xmas as a lot have a few Xmas parties. Also the 37lb will get me to where I want to finish and stay he is doing refeed differently over 3weeks rather than 1 week so will still lose weight during...

Honk day 38! :)

Welcome Titch89! Regarding the mouthwash, Lipotrim recommend you only use Listerine Original Mouthwash for some reason but have said it is ok to use Corsodyl when I asked them. As regards the tea, I agree with squishymcfatterson, it's leaf teas only so pure peppermint or PG Tips I drink, is...

100% again today :)

Well done Mburke and good on you sticking it out till Xmas you will be glad you did at the end :)

You can do it I have done it with cold for past 2/3 weeks and this ear infection also no voice and have stuck to it 100% it's all in your head if you put your mind to it you will get through it. Determination :)

Thank you toddshar for your kind words hopefully the cold ear infection and no voice will go away shortly! Getting sick of it now x

Wow thank you Ms R for those kind words

Thank you for all your kind words, at current I am still very unwell but still staying 100% will not let these illnesses beat me!! I am determined to stay with it x

Honk day 36! Still going strong well done everyone for staying 100%

Keep at it even with cold I have had a cold for past 2 weeks and ear infection and still going 100% TFR still ill now but plodding on seeing the weight come off and won't let any pesky illness stop me hitting my goal!! Well done for your weight loss

That's great news, my weight loss this week will be small as I am not drinking enough water and to be fair I am sleeping a lot to try and shift this cold and ear infection and I've become a lot more tried due to illness but still powering through off to have my shake now :)

So pleased for you :) it makes it all worth while when the results speak for themselves :)

I have been drinking more than normal about 3 litres when normally I drink 2 litres also I stated away from gym this week too as that was causing my body to go into starvation mode according to pharmacist as I wasn't going regularly before starting diet so that may also have helped. How are you...

Thank you Ms R I hope my new inspiration thread will help others too :)

Honk Day 35! Honk Honk for the past 2 days even though I have been very ill still going :)

My mum was against it too even though she knew the struggles I had trying to lose weight, until I sat her down and advised her that it was a doctors/pharmacy only diet and not available anywhere (so it was safe as had to have weekly weigh in's). I also made her watch the DVD too so she...

Moonagedaydream, everyone is different, on my 4th week i went to gym and by the end i had put on +2lbs! was gutted but have not been to gym since, and weight loss has decreased. Pharmacist has said that because I wasn't exercising before lipotrim much that when I have started to exercise my body...

On lipotrim TFR week 6 and normally my periods are irregular by date and length, but since being on TFR I have not had any yet and my last one was 10/08/12 so been a while (and before anyone asks no I'm not pregnant lol)

I have taken day and night nurse TABLETS only, this has paracetamol in and this has been ok'd by lipotrim DO NOT take any syrups as they contain sugar and will kick you out of ketosis! I have also taken anadin too as pharmacy has also ok'd that. If unsure email lipotrim and they will email you...

I cannot answer that for you, as I have stuck 100% to the diet. I have not cancelled any social plans for the diet I just went along as normal and just had my shake when everyone else was having their meal and last weekend when I went to a concert and a show and everyone went drinking after I...

How did it go for you? hope you are getting into it, we are all here to help support you :)

Well done :D I have noticed this too on my size 18 jeans that now don't fit and also the size 16 jeans that are getting bigger bit by bit, such a fantastic feeling when this happens :D

Well my pharmacist is wanting to start me on refeed next week to get me ready for xmas. He has said that the key is to drink water when feeling hungry first to see if its down to thirst and if not then have food but to also it is very important to take it slow eating food as stated above it can...

Well diagnosed by doctor with very bad ear infection and was given antibiotics!! Also still have no voice from cold.:( :sigh: Went to weigh in yesterday and lost -8lbs!!! :D :D :D soooo happy with this as even being not well shows I can still lose weight! Was going to come on here last night to...

Well diagnosed by doctor with very bad ear infection and was given antibiotics!! Also still have no voice from cold.:( :sigh: Went to weigh in and lost -8lbs!!! :D :D :D soooo happy with this as even being not well shows I can still lose weight! Unfortunately my ear infection became so bad last...

Well done to everyone for weigh losses so far, and good luck to those who are still to be weighed and for the next 3 weeks for everyone. We can do it :cross:

Well diagnosed by doctor with very bad ear infection and was given antibiotics!! Also still have no voice from cold.:( :sigh: Went to weigh in and lost -8lbs!!! :D :D :D soooo happy with this as even being not well shows I can still lose weight! Was going to come on here last night to post WI...

Totally agree. This is a site to help support others who are on diets not bully or attack them. Should be supportive as we all need all the support we can get to keep going!! It's a shame that it is a small minority that is doing it. I have only had great support from members on here and this is...

Exactly KatieLouise23. Think of positives they are just jealous and will be even more jealous when you have reached your goal and as you say they are still eating their kitkats :D. Well done for staying positive

This is to give those people who are looking for inspiration to keep on the diet. I have been on TFR, and have just completed week 5. Week 1. Was hard as I started a new job in a bakery with hot/cold food and sweet food on the same day I started the diet. day 3/4 were the hardest but I found...

Tigger22, I have been prone to this, my thread negative comments on here will show this. But to cut a long story short I have a work colleague who is like this every week, and to top this off she is overweight too. I just think now that she is jealous of my impressive weight loss and she isnt...

Well I have just finished week 5 and my pharmacist has said that he is taking all his patients onto refeed next week to be ready for xmas, as some have a few parties but also it means there is no rush to get through refeed before xmas. I am happy with this as I am nearly at the top of the...

Thank you Noitulove, and well done everyone for all you losses whether you hit your pledge or not any loss is a success and a big achievement good luck for next month all :)

Thank you Ms R, well still not well pounding ear infection cold and no voice so pharmacist advised to drink more water until Wednesday and then go back to normal amount but very pleased with that :)

8lbs off this week for me :) even though not been well for over a week! :)

-8lbs since last Monday :)

Well woke up this morning felt like my ear was going to explode!!! Been to doctors got ear infection and got no voice due to cold, given antibiotics to help with both :cry: Not a happy Danielle today at all!! Sick of being ill but on plus side staying 100% although don't think it will show on...

Hi all, Well for the past week I have been very I'll with cold and have lost my voice spoken to walk in centre and they advised that this cold has been been effecting people for at least a week so far on colds I haven't lost my voice or have very sore throat. Been to boots as my pharmacy is not...

Hi Goose, we all have bad days. I had one on Monday as my weigh in was terrible but after being weighed again on Wednesday I found out this was due to water retention as possible TOTM (irregular so don't know when they arrive) and having cold (which I still have at the minute) but I have been...

That may be why my weight loss was a bit messed up this week as I went to gym 3 times last week, also I have a cold and possible TOTM and I stayed 100% TFR. But my weigh in came at +2lbs so this explains it and I haven't been to gym since Sunday and went back to pharmicist on Wednesday even...

I'll pledge 20lbs and my weigh in is on Monday's x

No you can't I asked lipotrim and they said no! As there is no need and can conflict with diet

Yes very happy to say the least like a massive weight lifted but more weight to lose this week we shall see roll on monday :)

Well Noitulove, I got weighed again today even at usual time and have lost -6lbs so that means I lost -4lbs for last week as due to water retention looking forward to Monday to see what weight loss will be then :)

Well I got weighed again today and normal time and pharmacist has check scales before I arrived and I have lost 6lb since Monday!! So feeling much better as he thinks it's just water retention due to cold and possible TOTM. Thank you to everyone for your support and kind words will stick with...

Could this be due to the fact I now have a cold? thanks to my partner :( who also has a possible chest infection too bless him. I have also noticed I have become very moody which may mean TOTM could be due but as its alway been irregular I never know. Any thoughts? Thanks again for support all :)

Ms R, I know exactly how you feel except mine is worse as I put on +2lbs :cry: Again I have worked out at gym and stayed 100% on the shakes was totally gutted too but is determined to stay with it a little longer an see of it makes a difference which it should even the pharmacist was gutted too...

Well input on +2lbs but Iam going to get weighed again tomorrow to see if it's different as got weighed on Monday 4hours earlier than normal

Well done everyone for weight losses today Myself I gained +2lbs but stuck to shakes still working out what this could be will update mid week on next weigh in as having 2 this week

Thank you everyone for your support and kind words, after some long talking with my mum too, we have decided its probably due to TOTM as I've been very moody (many emotions) today also that muscle weighs more than fat and the fact that I have been weighed 4/4.30 hours earlier than normal so will...

Niether I was a little constipated in the morning but that had eased and I had rushed out of work on lunch break so didn't get time for a drunk or shake till got back :-(

Well today was my end of 4th week weigh in and I've put on +2lbs :cry: don't know how?!?!? Pharmacist asked if I'd stuck to diet which I have and have been to gym twice this week too. Don't understand how I can put on +2lbs when I have done everything and more than the other weeks. Gutted...

Everyone is doing great really good motivation to have this challenge going

Look at your weight loss for week one congrats butterflygirl your doing great :)

Hi all Currently half way through week 4 and by this week feels like its really dragging! I have been unwell this week due to headache on Monday and dizziness today not sure if any one has had similar issues. Iam not bored of the diet as now it seems normal but the week just seems to be...

Well done neaady and your boyfriend on your weight losses I am on my 4th week too and I feel like this is normal now had a weekend where I was away and everyone ate in front of me and I just had my shakes. Ive not had any issues with dizziness or low blood pressure so I can't advise on that but...

Well done everyone for your weight losses you should all be very proud of yourselves :)

My fingers are crossed for you J9W. Emmy_J I have no problems with the shakes I like them too

Thank you everyone, and good luck for you all we all deserve it for sticking to it :)

Well 4lbs off this week very pleased with that :-)

Just keep drinking as much as you can before going to bed. And was away for my partners birthday for the weekend so been very busy. Glad your getting used to it, the headaches will be due to lack of water just think of the weigh in on Wednesday for you :-)

Well all the persistence has paid off as I lost 4lbs this week so happy with myself :D

Thank you all for your kind comments. I am so proud of myself for sticking to this and hope it shows on the scales tomorrow. Well done to you all for your battles you have overcome too we should all be proud of ourselves for our determination and persistence. We have all done amazing and hope...

Hi all Sorry not been on here in few days I have been away for my partners birthday and thought I would share my experience with you all. I went down to the future in-laws who are very supportive of me doing this diet, the first day we went to Alton towers for his birthday. I had my shake just...

Thank you Squishymcfatterson, for you kind words. She probably was just being jealous but people shouldn't be that negative about a good point for others. Everyone else was really happy for me

Hi all When I started lipotrim (I am now in 3rd week) I never felt better as was best decision I have ever made. On Monday was my second weigh in and I had lost -12lbs to say I was happy was a understatement! :woohoo: It took a week to explain to mum and dad that this is a good diet and...

Butterflygirl, I felt satisfied by end of first week only get the odd hunger pain now

I've noticed I've been feeling cold but I just use that as an excuse to get extra cuddles from my partner

Thanks all :)

You will get used to them I found the more water I put in them dilutes the taste a little although still powdery but the taste you will eventually get used to x

Your doing well by helping, just ask if there are any questions that you need answering

Well my first two weeks have been a success, don't worry about the amount you lose, concentrate on losing little and if its more then its a better :-) xx

7am first shake, 1-2pm second shake, 6-9pm third shake

Week 2 weigh in -12lbs :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Good luck diole

This sounds like a fantastic idea especially to help motivate you further. Height 5ft 8.5in Current weight 14st 5lb Goal 9st 1lb By December 2012 Total loss of 5st

good luck womblepatra I have been on liporim TFR for nearly 2 weeks now and i look forward to weigh in. I keep wanting to get on scales at home but talk myself out of it and tell myself my reward will be on my weigh date and it is such a motivational boost to keep me going till weigh date :)

Wish you all good luck I did the same and waited as I had a party planned too but pre warned myself to enjoy it as it would be the last I would have in a while as no food and drink and friends have been very supportive when I told them what I was doing and why. Good luck :)

Look at your long term goals and your here and now getting started is best thing I ever did and I don't think about the re fees just yet as I still have a bit to go so no point worrying about something that isn't happening yet ;) anyway I am taking the diet each day as it comes one day at a time...

I cook most days for my partner and work in a bakery that sells hot and cold pasties and sandwiches. What I do when at work I pretend that all the food has been pee'd on even though I know it hasn't the thought is disgusting enough to put me off wanting the food while at work and this has worked...

Hi busymum, support on here is second to none everyone is on hand to support each other and give advice to make the diet easier. I am coming towards the end of my second week and pleased with the results so far. Also I have put up a list of reasons why I am doing this on my fridge and cupboards...

Not to get snide comments off people and get fantastic comments like you look great how do you stay so slim :)

I am going to my partners mothers house for the weekend as its his birthday and we are spending the whole day at Alton towers I have planned everything so I know when I will have my shakes and I have told them I am happy for them to carry on eating anything they want when I am there as now food...

Now that takes will power to know you can buy food for others and not eat it. I have done that a lot for my partner since starting the diet I cook him his food but wait to have my shake until after he has eaten and Makes me feel so much better knowing that I don't need to eat any food. And I...

Hi J9W, your welcome for the kind words it's true and it's great to see that you have booked a holiday as an incentive to keep going :) my incentive is to be able to enjoy Xmas dinner without thinking I'll have to lose all this again :) today is my 9th day and Iam feeling fine no hunger pains...

I have had a few spots appear but didn't think anything about it as I sometimes get random spots

I work in a bakery started new job 2 weeks ago and found that 3 of the staff are on different diets and I told them what diet I was on they asked more and did the usual "oh I couldn't do that" "that's not healthy" but now that they have seen me sticking to it they are very supportive. And even...

Thats a fantastic loss :)

Brilliant 6lb :happy096: I only lost 7lb but the way I look at it is a loss is a loss and its all going in the right direction, rather lose little than none at all or even gain?? its a positive!!

Monday for me

Thank you Mini, it is a very good motivational boost just to see that it does work and the proof is in the results! Also the support from here is second to none as its not easy to talk to someone who doesn't know or understand but everyone on here is doing something similar or the same diet and...

Thank you well if it is I can deal with it to lose my weight :)

I agree with you I am only on my second week and have noticed the difference of how much better I feel and how easy it is now feel like I have a new lease of life :D

I know what you mean, he used to be a lot bigger thank what he is now but he loves me just as I am and that is great to know that he is helping on the way and wont mind if i am skinny and happier being skinny and healthier :)

So just to get this straight in my little brain full of water :) lol TOTM can effect the weigh in? as you retain water? but you can lose more at end?

Currently on week 2 and went to pharmacy as they had ran out of vanilla shakes, and they had chocolate....really wanted some..... so bought them put them in a paper bag where I couldn't see them and gave them to my boyfriend ... strange thing was I confused myself thinking I was buying them for...

Well the tiredness was a lot better on day 4 and now dont have a tiredness issue so over that :), but seems to have a small tickly cough that has appeared.... has anyone had this?

My boyfriend thinks the same about me but is also very supportive of me doing this diet he is also over weight and is jealous of the amount of weight i have lost and is now looking to join me on the diet :) Sick of having to reach for 20-22 and even sometimes finding they don't fit but looking...

cant wait to do this too as I go on a few holidays a year (mum lives abroad so cheap holidays lol)

Thanks Bev and Noitulove this is a really good start for me and I swear I and sure my belly has decreased slightly (not sure as not measured but jeans dont feel as tight) I am just happy I have found a diet I can stick too rather than not :-) Now seem to have a tickly throat with a little...

Well thankfully the tiredness has passed and managed my 2 11 hour shifts with no problem :) just been weighed today and was happy with result as any loss no matter how small is a loss and going in the right direction so all good :) Thanks for the support, guidance and motivation to keep going...

Today was my 6th day of first week and have been weighed...... have lost 7lb :D :) :D I have seen people have lost more but I am not disheartened about it as a loss is a loss no matter how small. So I am looking forward to starting week 2 and seeing what this week will bring. Is there any...

isopale, Stick with it. I have just completed my 6th day of first week and my first 4 days were terrible. first 3 days i had to have an hours sleep after work in afternoon as was so tired. The 4th day I thought water tasted horrible too the reason for this is you body has started to go into...

I'm wanting to lose 5st 9lb asap is my goal, hoping to eat a christmas dinner and enjoy it and not think about i will have to diet again to get rid of it

I have been freezing since starting Lipotrim too so cold I have electric blanket on on night time and still freezing

Allysweetcheeks, Thank you nearly slipped up tonight as very hungry and was dying to make something to eat luckily my partner stopped me and refused to let me eat anything! gave me a bottle of water instead :)

That's brilliant well done you will feel much better that you stayed on the diet too :)

Whatever works for you Snowbaby67 everyone is different and some diets dont suit other people

shrinkingannie that's great think of today as an achievement as you passed a hard test well done!! :)

Just thing of all the good point Ruth. That's all I've been thinking about when the tiredness is really bothering like it has been past 3 days :(

Today is day 3 of first week, just getting used to having no food and being extremely tired ... wish the latter would ease off. but looking forward to being slim again

*being able to go out with my mate and not thinking others are looking at us thinking "little and large" as my mate is a size 8!!! *to be able to fasten laces without belly getting in the way and being uncomfortable *Enjoying eating in public and not thinking that others will be thinking no...

Aw that's not good hope your feeling better soon. I am having problems with the tiredness,only on day 3 but on all 3 days I have had to have an hour nap in afternoon, is this normal? and how long will this last before easing off? I'm just worried as I have a few 11 hour shifts at work (bad...

Oh well just one of the few things I am willing to accept to get to a slimmer healthier me Thanks al30 :0

J9W the hunger will pass shortly, have you been tired much? As that's my biggest issue today being my third day I have had to for the past 3 days have an hours nap just wish tiredness would ease. When did the tiredness ease for everyone else?

Thank you al30, my hardest test is for the next 2 days I am working 11 hour shifts! It's the tiredness I am most struggling with as for past 3 days I have had to have an hour nap to keep me going. Just wondering how long before tiredness settles?

Thanks Dizzy, well so far today is my third day and again fell asleep for an hour. Tomorrow and Saturday are 11 hour shifts so let's hope I can stay awake :)

WOW Well done!! :)

I'm on week one just completed day 2 hoping to stick with this diet as i'm sick of not being able to fasten my shoes with my belly in the way very uncomfortable looking forward to being lighter healthier and HAPPIER :)

Hi All Today is the end of my second day, well the headaches are passable. I normally suffer from migraines and the pain is nothing like that so can deal with that. It's the tiredness I'm struggling with mostly both yesterday and today I needed to have a hour nap after work luckily they were...

Hi All I am only on my second day so far just had last shake, I have found that trying to breathe through mouth instead of nose when around food especially hot food helps numb the smell. As working in a bakery where we sell hot/cold foods and being a new job, I found it worked to get me through...

Bennet That's a really good idea I am only on 2nd day and as I work in a bakery with hot/cold foods on the go and have a few 7am-6.30pm shifts coming up I am trying to find ideas on how to put myself off the food in front of me all day. Also my partner has taking to eating when I am not around...

Well Done!! I am currently on day 2 and the tiredness is the hardest part as both day 1 and 2 I had to take and hours nap after work luckily they were only short shifts. However tomorrow I have a full shift and Friday and Saturday I have a 7am-6.30pm shift!!!! When does the tiredness ease off...

Hi All, I'm new to lipotrim just started yesterday 28/08/12 and since starting I have noticed I am very tired by afternoon time and have to take a nap, is this normal and how long will it last before dettling? Also as just started how long will it be before the ketosis stage kicks in? as...

Hi All I'm new to MiniMins just joined now. Just started a new diet and is taking some getting used to the tiredness especially!!
