How many people are keeping lipotrim a secret.
Only person that knows I am doing it is my husband. Other than that I am keeping it secret. At work I have my shake at my desk in the morning then lunch time I always go for a walk an dhave it then and then think of something to say what I had for lunch. Don't know why I am keeping it secret.
So was wondering who is keeping it secret
 
Me....

Well, I'm saying it's a protein shake....purely because I dislike nosey people and I work in a call centre....full of cocks.

A few close colleagues are 'in on it'.....but that's as far as I go hehe.
 
My hubby, my mum and my bessie mate know and thats it!

I don't want to hear all the negative comments from people who have no idea about what its like to have been on diet all your adutl life and yet still be double the weight you were when you left school!!!!

Now people are commenting on how I've lost weight and asking how I've done it I just say "Oh I'm not eating" and walk off smiling. Generally they just laugh and say "Its really hard cutting back isn't it!"
 
I wish I'd kept it a secret, especially from my boss/uncle. Everyday he asks me if I'm still doing 'the stupid diet' as if it isn't hard enough! He's told my colleagues and today they were having fish and chips for lunch and OMG the amount of times they asked if I wanted anything!!!!!! I didn't even feel tempted, yay to me!!
 
*raises hand* :)

Two of my closest friends know I'm on LT and have been wonderfully supportive of me, making funny jokes about the sooooo many times I need to use the loo :-o

I told my work colleagues that I have joined a gym the other week. Joined one in January actually but never got the motivation to go back :/ Hopefully I'll make good use of this in the next few weeks!

I am lactose intolerant so I always have my coffee & tea black and I go out for my lunch break so can I use that time to have my chocolate shake yum! So I'm alright with work mates. Phew!!

But! The friends that I socialise with the most have NO idea that I'm on a vlcd. I told them that I have given up alcohol and I got some strange replies to that statement :( I've been able to use the excuse of "going to the gym" after work to get out of things this week (my first week on LT) eventually this white lie will be true I hope!

So I guess only 2 people in my life know truthfully that I'm on it.

I have been on L T before and got some extremely negative responses from friends & family :( so this time around I'm keeping quiet :)

You are not alone! Thank you for posting this question :) I hope you are doing well xxx
 
meeeeee!! i have told my boyfriend and thats it, i have told everyone else im on detox and that the shakes are supplements as i am staying away from carbs, i tell family i have eaten my tea at work as the sanwich lady makes my salads everyday :0 i dont want people knowing as they will either make horrible comments or some of my friends may wanna try it but i dont want to recommend it until i have finished the next couple of weeks and re feed without putting on weight, cos if it doesnt work then i have recommended they do something that will waste there time or give them false hope
 
I am not actively keeping it a secret just not broadcasting it unless someone asks but all my friends and family are 100% supportive x
 
I can understand you keeping it secret as people won't understand and will probably see it as you are starving yourself or panic that you have an eating disorder.
I have told my Mum and work colleagues and my Son.
 
I have told anyone who asks and get loads of support any negative comments I put them straight! Most people want to know everything about it as really interested :)
 
I'm keeping it a secret people know I'm dieting but they just think its healthy eating and cut out fizzy drinks lol... Only my family and 3 very close mates know, they are all so excited to see the "new me" prob more excited then I am... Actually no you can't get as excited as me lol xxx

Ha it is good to know I am not the only one. I am just finding it hard at work keeping it secret as they are so nosey in my office.
 
I've only told my family who I live with and that's only because they see me making them. One brother always says don't you want some of this dinner etc but I just ignore him. Lol

I've not told anyone else as I don't want to have to justify it. I just say I'm doing a high protein low carb diet. Works so far :)

Hi
I'm keeping it secret also , I've said I'm on a low carb diet and protein shake after exercise . My oh knows I'm doing lipotrim & is very supportive , my mother knows the truth too and to begin With she was supportive , but she thinks I've lost enough and I will turn anorexic ( I don't think ) the rest of my family think it's low carb plus exercise & now that I have nearly 4 stone gone there telling me I'm pale tired etc .... Never mind I need to loose another 3 stone . Some people are never happy if your fat your lazy & you should do something about it & if your dieting you look miserable We will never win .....
 
I kept it secret, for the first month...

Then people wanted to know as they could see dramatic differences...

Any negative people.. I told them them that it was the best alternative to surgery with the similar losses, that seemed to shut them up lol

After everyone knew, I got a lot of support, and compliments all the time, it was great lol...
 
I tell everyone - I live in a little village so gossip is the number one passtime. I thought if I didn't tell people then they'd only start saying id had a gastric band fitted or something.

I've had many -oooh don't lose it too quickly- kind of comments and twice as many telling me it's dangerous or I will load it all back on when I stop. I just smile sweetly and say oh well.

I have the love and support I need from my oh and friends everyone else is moot. I'm doing this for me so what other people think is neither here nor there. Stay stronger and hold your head high. Most people who put it down do so out of ignorance and because they could never do it.
 
I didnt keep it secret, but I regret it. The number of people that have said its dangerous or stupid and that I dont know what I am doing to myself is getting silly. I actually told someone to mind their own business the other day.

I think you'll find much of this is jealousy - sadly a lot of people don't like to see others succeed. Ha if they say it's dangerous I reply because being morbidly obese isn't??
 
im the total opposite, im telling everyone who i spend any time with.

all the women in the office know which means i get 14 "how did you do?"s on a tuesday, followed by 14 "oh thats amazing your doing so well" which is a major boost after the struggle of weekend

my friends at uni know and they remind me to drink my water and make sure not to offer me any crisps or sweets.

the other friends that come round to my house are mostly blokes who dont really care either way so i get on ok.

i did spend alot of time telling people that its not dangerous, its pharmacy controlled, i wont gain more when i come off cause the refeed is structured, water, ketosis, blah blah blah but people just dont understand and alot have never even heard that this type of extreme diet exists but if you have the patience to explain it properly and its a way of going cold turkey to break an addiction to food they soon come around

but each to his own, if a secret works go with it :)
 
I have only told my fella,mum and sister inlaw (only cause she did it last year and looks amazing now) im leavong it till the christening in 8wks so i can look good and peoples reactions to my weight loss cant weight :)
