Hi guys
Spotted this forum, and I've just started Lipotrim so I'm hoping for some support! The hubbie and I are on day one of Lipotrim, and we're committed, but we have other problems.
Neither of us are vastly overweight - my BMI is 27, his is 29. We chose this programme for one simple reason: we love food. We eat very, very good food - no junk - we just eat far too much of it. So we don't want to do diets like weightwatchers, because we don't want to be reducing the contents of our plates to numbers for the rest of our lives.
We don't want to create negative attachments to certain foods. We just want a quick weight loss, something of a system cleanse, then we're going to do some food allergy testing, and go into the rest of our lives being very strict with ourselves and making a commitment so we don't put on weight again.
I started working for myself in April last year and hubbie is in a job he hates - we both lead very sedentary lifestyles, stuck in desks, but we used to be fit.
We're both trying to lose about 2.5 - 3 stone.
Here's the problem: our pharmacist is crap. The pharmacy has only started doing Lipotrim and they have about six people on it. They agreed to put us on it, but basically the girl wouldn't commit to whether she'd let me hit my target weight (a BMI of about 22) or stop me when my BMI hit 25. Same with my husband. Then she gave me 14 packs of female formula and 7 packs of male, which I didn't notice till I got home!
When we went to pay at the counter, there were two obese pharmacy staff and they made jokes at us at how we could have a slap-up meal out on the cost of a week's Lipotrim. Then they looked us up and down and told us we didn't look like we needed to do a diet. One of them was I would say somewhere between a size 18 - 20, (I'm a size 16), and she was saying "Look at me, I'm bigger than you and I'm not doing it."
I'm just really, really annoyed about it. Are we actually kidding ourselves? Should we be on LipoTrim at all? Both of us loved the idea of total food replacement because we wanted to do something really strict, and not drag out a lengthy diet process where you go through phases of guilt and secret binging pleasure and learn a whole load of bad habits.
We don't have the money for the gym and to be honest, with our work commitments, our chances to increase our activity levels won't change for a few months yet.
Sorry this is so long, but I'm really confused now. I never thought anyone would make me feel bad about trying to improve my weight and my health (isn't the whole point of LipoTrim that it's a safe and monitored programme?!), but now I feel like it's some sort of club and I don't qualify because I'm not big enough.
All views welcome, guys - it was a big deal for me to commit to doing this, and I'm all over the place now after the treatment from the pharmacy people. What should I do?
