Seabre's Journey to Health and Happiness!

[seabre]

Hi All

I am at day one of my first ever Lipotrim journey & I sincerely hope it will be my only Lipotrim journey and LAST diet EVER!!!
I am 38 years old and have three kids 7, 5 &3. I have been big all my life and have steadily been putting on weight since 2006. I have gained 1/2 stone every year since then despite loosing weight several times on Weight Watchers or Slimming World - I never seem to stick with it and get bored and loose motivation after @2 stone or whenever I "Level Out". I hate feeling that I am making a huge effort and only staying the same weight or worse gaining a pound or two.
My main problem is lack of routine - Most days I don't make time or plan for breakfast and as I'm busy (aren't we all) I often skip lunch as well. This leaves me starving by 3pm and I eat heartily for the rest of the eve up to 10pm!!! Horrible lifestyle, bad for me in so many ways!!!
Normally when on a diet I start to obsess about food and the constant questioning and wondering "What can I have now or How many points have I left or How many syns in that or is it a carb day or a green day etc etc and the more I think about food the more I want food and so I begin the inevitable fall off the wagon!!!

But thats all about what I do wrong!! Now I am looking forward to taking food out of the picture altogether!! At least til Christmas - I hope that my old routine of going all day without eating will help me in this regard but I might be being very optimistic in this regard!!! Anyway Great to have this new forum to trawl through for inspiration or a good rant!!

Looking forward to posting my "after" pics and receiving lots of lovely compliments

Hi Seabre! This is my second time on Lipotrim (this time it will be the last!). In a way Lipotrim's so easy compared to other diets - 3 simple things to eat a day (I prefer the flapjacks so I don't need to think about food prep at all), no cooking/shopping/working out calories or carbs etc, much less washing up And really quick results so it's motivating to stay on. You will do brilliantly

Thanks Kamikat!!

A friend of mine put me off the flapjacks as she hated them so I dismissed them off hand when the pharmacist offered them. However - I'm having trouble facing th e3 shakes a day so I think I'll def get some next week and give them a go!
I actually quite like the black coffee (I was always a milk and sugar girl) so I kinda fancy something to nibble on with that and def think it might be easier to have only 1 or 2 shakes a day!
Good luck to you - I'm sure we'll be swapping success stories soon

Hi seabre I don't like the flapjacks either. Their too heavy and overly peanuty for me...


Good luck on your journey! We will loose this weight!!

That's interesting, my pharmacist said that I'm her only client who's ever preferred the flapjacks to shakes! I was a student doing my finals last time I did LT so they were handy when I was semi-living in the university library at the time Now I'm quite liking the strawberry shakes, I'm picking up my flapjacks later today so I'll see how I feel about them then!

Hey All - After 3 great days I really hit a brick wall when making kids dinner tonight - It almost got too much to bear with the smell !!! I wasn't hungry just desperately craving! However, a wee tip I got on here last night re making the Chocolate shake into a mocha (mix the packet to a paste with a spoonful of coffee and a sweetner then add boiling water. I let it cool for a minute or two then gave it a shake in my shaker) I know strictly speaking you're not supposed to shake hot liquid in it but I was past the point of caring at this stage lol!!
Well the result literally saved my butt - A gorgeous comforting filling Mocha!! Def be resorting to these regularly !

Hope all going well with everyone....

Congrats on breaking through that wall seabre! Getting through these moments takes real strength, you've proved to yourself you can do it. Keep being awesome It'll be worth it when you see the results at first weigh-in, when're you going in for that?

 

[seabre]

Hi Kamikat

My first weigh in is on Mon morning and at this stage I can wait! Better be a good one cos the thought of it has been keeping me going all week. How are you doing on it? Have to say it hasn't been as bad as I thought the first week would be.... Its supposed to get easier now too - Or so they tell me!!!!

 

[seabre]

Day 6 and I'm almost there - First week nearly done, cannot wait to weigh on Mon and tick a few lbs off the list!!!

 

[Kamikat]

You'll feel awesome seeing that ticker on your signature move

 

[seabre]

Weigh in tom! Cant sleep - excitement????

 

[seabre]

Hey All!!!

So weighed in this morning and very delighted to have 11 lb off

So motivated for this week now! And as I ended last week with 3 strawberry shakes left over that I just couldn't face - I got a little lecture from the pharmacist, so decided to try the Flapjacks this week. So I am home with 7 Flapjacks, 7 Vanilla & 7 Chocolate shakes! Feeling very positive about this week.

Thats 11lb that I am determined NEVER to see again!

Had a wee thought..... As the pharmacist gives me my shakes etc in a specific "Lipotrim" carrier bag that, lets face it, I'm not going to be using as a Bag for Life for my weekly grocery shop I was thinking of filling it with 11lb of something...... Think it would be cool to fill the bag each week with the weight I lose so I can feel in real terms what I have lost so far!!!

Any suggestions as to what I could use to fill it????

 

[LH1989]

That's an excellent idea about filling the bag. Did you do that?

 

[Kamikat]

When I've tried to lose weight before I kept a jar and put in a £ for every lb I lost, I might try that again.

 

[LH1989]

I've never thought of this before. Amazing idea

What a brilliant Idea Kimikat..I would need to get a re-mortgage for what I need to loose though xx
