Lolakerry's Lipotrim Diary Started Feb 1st 2011

[Lolakerry]

Hi Everyone

Thought this would be a cool way to keep track of my Lipotrim Journey.

DAY 1
Got up at 7.30am and had a black coffee with 3 sweetners

9am kids to school and prepped the veg for families dinner (hubby cooking later)

10.15am had half a vanilla shake with one spoon of coffee and 2 sweetners and 240mls of hot water. Tasted like a bad cup of coffee but was bearable.

Drank 1 litre of water by 11.15am (the most I've had in my life - not a big water drinker)

12.30pm had the other half of the vanilla shake with 240 mls of water - tasted nice!

Had 2nd litre of water by 2pm and added fibreclear to last half litre.

1.30pm felt hungry so drank more water.

2.15pm peppermint tea and 1 sweetner - this was palatable.

3pm still hungry:sigh: so had more water

4.15pm 2nd shake of the day Strawberry - quite nice.

5pm felt tired

5.15pm coffee with 3 sweetners (just cant drink it with 2 sweetners - is this bad?)

7 pm peppermint tea - fairly hungry but worried about being hungry during the night so sticking it out till later.

9pm lovely bubble bath.

had another litre of water from 6 to 9pm

10pm 3rd shake Chocolate - dont like this but have to drink it now - must figure out what to do with this to get it in me as chemist too far away to go exchanging it- might try it as a mousse tomorrow.

10.50pm bedtime

Overall Day 1 not as bad as I had expected - roll on day 2!

Best of luck Lola, njoy d journey.

 

[trimlee]

Hey Lola, you've started a day ahead of me! I'll be checking on you and cheering you on. How's day 2 going?

 

[Lolakerry]

Hi trimlee. Much the same as yesterday. Bit slow with the water consumption tho. Slight headache too. It's amazing how peoples tastes differ. I find the chocolate vile. Kinda like having a spoon of cocoa. Won't be getting that again. I had written off the soup because of other peoples comments here but might get one next week to see what it's like. The vanilla is just like a vanilla shake - to me anyway! good luck tomorrow.

[Lolakerry]

thanks Lenni - how are you doing today

 

[lolapink]

Hope its all going ok, well, as ok as it can! I don't mind the choc or vanilla, haven't been brave enough to try the soup yet! I quite fancy the peanut bars but think it might make me want more things to use with my teeth with if you get what I mean!

 

[Lenni]

Hey Lola, I'm good thanks. I was d same wasnt gettin d soup cause of others opinions but my pharmacist convinced me 2 get it n I love it, so yum. I make it in a pot n really boil it well while storing wit a whisk. I only got 2 n ragin I didn't get more. I was drinkin 4 ltrs of water n was told that's 2 much 3 is d max n now I'm barely gettin 2 3 ltrs. Will hav 2 get d finger out.

 

[PaulaJ]

Good luck!

Make sure you get the water in, I've been a bit lax this week and have had sore, dry & flaky lips and don't underestimate the discomfort of constipation! lol

How long are you planning to do LT for? xx

 

[x__lis__x]

Good luck, try the choc mixed with cooled peppermint tea, tastes a lot nicer

DAY 2

Felt a bit off and headachy today

had my first shake at 10.30am - chocolate (just to get it out of the way!). Still not feeling the love for this. mixed it as a mousse - had one spoon and nearly barfed - it tasted like eating a spoon of cocoa powder so I added some peppermint tea (Thanks Lis) and it made it drinkable.

took paracetamol at 2pm for headache and felt a bit cold a sorry for myself.

headache didnt shift so went to bed from 4.30 to 6.30 and slept like a log.

Had 2nd shake (vanilla) at 6.45pm and 3rd shake at 10pm

filled up on coffee and peppermint tea during the day and managed almost 3 litres of water.

went to bed at 11 and slept like a log again. Hope this lousy feeling passes. I think on day one I was so excited to start that got me through it but day two was tough.

I'm doing this diary a day behind as i am keeping a written diary of everything I do so that i can repeat a day if it worked well for me.

Not sure if I should I have my last shake earlier than 10pm - opinions welcome??

Really hope I can do this and thanks everyone for the support xx

 

[Lenni]

Ah Lola u sound a bit down. Get 2 Ur 1st WI n that will give u such a boost.

I like d Choc shake, but here's an idea 4 u as Ur not mad bout it. I was Sooooo cold 1 day so decided 2 put my Choc shake in d microwave n heat it up, but I found it took A lot of d flavour away so maybe u mite find it easier 2 drink.

 

[Lolakerry]

Hey Lenni. Definitely was down yesterday but I guess that is normal. I feel ok today but yesterday was bizarre! I felt like I was having an out of body experience It was not a nice feeling.

I saw somewhere that someone used half the water amount in the choc and put it in the microwave for a minute and it was like a muffin. Dont want to risk this as there is no way back if its not nice. I think I will skip the choc shake until weigh in day. As I weigh in a day early (Pharmacist said to come on Monday) I will be able to exchange whats left for the vanilla and strawberry then.

All good now and hopefully will go into ketosis soon.

how are you feeling today sweetie x

 

[Lenni]

I'm good thanks, hopin headache all day 2day. Delighted as 2day 2 ppl said I'd lost weight. Does that mean u b takin only 2 shakes a day Hun? If so can u not go n swap them now as I'd say 2 shakes ain't enough.
I'm havin a really hungry day 2day, maybe that's y my head hopin.

 

[PaulaJ]

If you try the "muffin" I can guarantee you won't do it again... gag! I can still taste it 3 weeks on! I just get the shakes down me, every time I fiddle about with them it's really disgusting lol

Hope you feel a bit better soon, took me about a week to feel a bit more normal xx

 

[Lolakerry]

Tks Paula - not too bad today - headache gone but zero on the energy side, not as hungry today and have a strange gritty feeling at the back of my teeth - has anyone else ever had that?

Lenni I miscalculated - i will be able to return 3 as I started on Tuesday but am weighing in on Monday so I will have a full day of shakes left to take as I am going to weigh in before having my first shake of the day.

 

[PaulaJ]

yeah I get a kind of furry/sticky feeling on my back teeth, have to brush after every shake... I can't bear it!

 

[Lolakerry]

Cheers Paula

 

[Lenni]

O I get this 2, never thought it could b 2 do wit shakes.

Day 3

Felt good today - much better than day 2!
Had 1st shake at 10.45am
2nd shake at 7pm
3rd shake at 10 pm

after feeling so cr*ppy yesterday I was afraid today would be worse - but woke up feeling refreshed for the first time in a long time (sleeping really well with this).

weighed myself this morning and was down 5 pounds which really made me feel like this is working.

drank around 2.75 litres of water today. About 1 litre was sparkling water which was a nice change from the still water and felt like a naughty treat of a fizzy drink.

forgot to take fibreclear today - oops

Day 4

Woke at 8 feeling really good and somewhat energetic (a first!)

1st shake at 11am (vanilla, icecubes and 300mls water blended - yummy)

3.30pm half a chocolate shake with a spoon of coffee, ice and 300 mls water not bad.

6.30pm other half of chocolate shake with ice

10pm 3rd shake - blended with ice and 400mls water

had a good day and am enjoying the shakes with ice.

drank approx 3 litres of water today and remembered the fibreclear

Today was really good despite the fact that its usually takeaway night and I was dreading how I would feel. Hubby made a delicious looking salad for the kids and we all watched a movie while mommie slugged a bottle of water and they all scoffed popcorn.

 

[trimlee]

Hey Lola, it's that way with me too; husband and children having pizzas, mummy refraining with all her might; children sweetly offering mummy a spoon of their ice cream or a sweetie, mummy saying no thank you as gently as possible! Keep on. Day 4 for me here.
