Hi everyone. Noob here so please be gentle!
I'm on the lipotrim and just starting week 4 so far. Bloody hard going week 1 but gets easier doesn't it. I play darts competitively once a week and it is just an excuse to drink! On top of that, you have your tea before you go and at the end of the night, when you are drunk and got the munchies, the pubs you play in bring food out for the players - talk about double trouble
I've got a stag do and a big wedding at which I am best man in August and I am determined to make sure the photographer does not need a wide angle lens to get me in any pics!
Anyway, the tale of the tape - I'm 43 and 5ft 9, at the start of...
Week 1 - 16st 10lb BMI 34.6
Week 2 - 16st 01lb BMI 33.2
Week 3 - 15st 09lb BMI 32.2
Week 4 - 15st 05lb BMI 31.7
All heading in the right direction. I've not cheated once though been sorely tempted (one night at darts, the pub we played in brought out sausage, chips and gravy - I nearly burst into tears!)
Just hoping the weight loss continues at this kind of level as if starts to dip under 3lbs per week, it would be just as well (and cheaper) copying my wife's WWers diet.
On a factual note - my lipotrim is £60pw from chemist (not sure if that is average/over/under priced). Also, I get gout from time to time. With rapid weight loss it can trigger an attack and boy, it has. I'm taking Naproxen for it and managing it. I spoke with the doctor, the chemist and a person from lipotrim and they said I should carry on with the diet as losing weight is good. If I was to come off it now, I'd still have the gout attack as once it starts it takes time to settle down anyway. They reckoned I should see how I go for the next few weeks.
Hope all that helps. If all goes according to plan I've got about another 6 weeks and I'm targeting around the 13st mark. Everyone else keep up the good work. Stick at it. It is hard but you CAN do it.
Good luck all!
