So I'v started Lipotrim!!!!

Charryn

Well I'v finally started lipotrim!! Day 3 and Im hungry but determined!!:D

Im 27 and 13st, Iv never had a problem with my weight because I was very active and loved the gym but after having our first baby during the summer I can barely remember what the inside of a gym looks like!! I had great notions of skipping back to regular excercise after our little girl came along ha ha how nieve!!:P

So basically Iv been watching my weight creep up and up - its all going on my tummy and hips - ugh I hate it I just feel hideous!! But all I did for the entire month of december was eat and eat I swear I was turning into the utter definition of food addict!!

So here I am going cold turkey, tough I'l tell ya, but Im determined as hell. I almost died when the pharmacist handed me the printout saying I was FOUR STONE overweight -Im hoping to loose two - but then when I thought about it I guess this is just a ploy to get you to stay on the programme for as long as possible, hence spend more money, because Iv always been happy out at 10 1/2st and never considered myself overweight then!!

Im finding the shakes nice enough (apart from the chicken soup mix, ugh I would imagine that this is what drain water tastes like!) and drinking tons of water, which is a pain coz I can never be further than 500 ft from a loo!!!

My plan is to stick this out until I reach my goal and in the meantime Im gonna cancel my gym membership and invest in a treadmill so I can try to keep it off, I absolutley have to excercise or else I'l grow as big as a house!! But I love running, I miss it!

So being the time of year that it is Im guessing that there are a few people starting this and I thought it might be nice if we could share our experiences and spur each other on??:cool:

It would be nice to hear from others in the same boat!

My advise is to read the stickies here and in the fitness forum. Lipotrim does not go down well here to be honest. It is a nutrition forum, not a 'fad' diet forum. IMO a much more sensible approach would be to eat wholefoods, lean meats, fish, veggies, wholegrains. That is sustainable for a lifetime whereas lipotrim is not.

While losing weight slowly is obviously the best method, we're physiologically driven to want things now and soon. Seeing results gives encouragement.

I'd echo ULstudent's advice on eating good foods, lots of fibrous vegetables, plenty of lean meats, fish, eggs, fruit etc. Sure use lipotrim now if it's what works for you, but keep thinking about sustainability and make your diet a hobby. Even on a maintenance diet (where you're eating enough calories without the express intention of either losing or gaining weight) with the above foods (especially lean meats, fish and green veg) you'd probably notice yourself getting a lot leaner and looking better.

Lipotrim is only for the short term and until you start to think differently you will not be able to eat less all the time!!! The term diet is a total deterent to keeping the weight off... Be careful when you go back to eating normally as you still need to eat less and if you eat what was normal for you before you went on Lipotrim then you will put back on all the weight plus some!!!!

Best of luck with the weight loss...

Just to let you know that a treadmill is a good investment if you cant get out and like to run. We got one and I did not think I would use it much as I prefer the outdoors, but with work or weather I find that I do use it. When baby has gone off to sleep you could use it even to jog for 20 mins and you could use it twice a day. I think you will find when you get back to exercise you do tend to eat healthier as if you have gone to the trouble of jogging you are not going to fill your face with rubbish. When I exercise I tend to eat healthier. It is ok to get out of shape when you have a baby but now you feel you need to get back to yourself. So just set yourself some goals and you will get back to your normal shape. Keep up the good work

I was on Lipotrim about 5 years ago for 6 weeks and lost 2 and a half stone!!
After the first week, ITS A HELL OF A LOT EASIER!
The only thing I had a problem with was my original routine, with socialising ect.
Unfortunately this diet is one of those things that you really have to cut your social life for a few weeks, otherwise you'll find yourself depressed losing motivation!

I found that after every weigh in a gave myself a treat like a massage, or a manicure/pedicure etc.... And every week I would plan out what my treat was going to be at the end of the week. just somethings small to get me through the week and having something to look forward to.

I really would stick it out as its well worth it in the end. At the end I would recommend going to a spa and getting some skin treatments or those novelty rejuvenation massages. It's make you feel so much better at the end and you really will look great!

Good work so far! Keep it up!

metamorphosis

Just a quick note here. In my honest opinion, Lipotrim is utter and complete laziness and is becoming an inherent part of peoples lifes. I lost 5 and a half stone through educating myself, putting the fork down, getting up and getting active, From 16 stone lazy bastard to 10 and a half stone marathon runner.

The thing is, since i made a proper effort which took longer(years), every aspect in my life changed. When life throws **** at me, i do not just give up now, whereas i would have when i was heavier - becuase giving up takes no effort and i am a fighter who EARNS what i recieve. I think that taking the easy way out like lipotrim reflects badly also on a person. It says i want to lose weight without the slog and i want it now. And you know what? That attitude permeates through your whole life. It says to people you are lazy and do not want to fight and earn things in life. It says you want them handed to you. Well, tough, you have not earned the right to lose the easy way. You ate yourself to become overweight/obese and that's ok. Why? you can do something proactive and make an effort to lose what you put on. Making an effort and educating yourself on how to do so makes you stroger, more intelligent and clues you into things more. But when someone goes to a fitness forum or nutririon and diet forum and hails or asks about an OBVIOUSLY unhealthy, lazy and slug way to lose weight, it just grinds my gears. Been lazy about your weight and your size makes you more likey to be lazy towards anything else in life that is hard. People need to toughen up and grow up!

There is an increasing lazy attitude permeating into peoples mindset and it is NOT okay in my opinion. Do it right and you will never have to redo it and you will be left with tools and gifts to challenge yourself more, be happier, less obsessed about unimportant things.

God im not even making sense anymore. Look i do not want to offend any poster and i am NOT attacking any poster in particular.I am having a bad day today and saw this thread again and needed to rant. Before if i had a bad day i would have went for the biscuit tin but now that i earned my weightloss do you know what i did? got out off bed at 8am this morning did a 1hour spin class and i feel so much better for it.

Okay rant over. If this post causes a **** storm i am sorry mods!!

lol, ULStudent, take a breath . . . I prob did post this in the wrong area, my fault, Im not entirely familliar with the site.

Anyhow, I get what your trying to say, when I first heard of lipotrim a year or two ago I thought it was nuts. But I saw it work for someone I know last year and to be honest I think its just what I need to give myself a kickstart to getting back into shape. Like I said, I just ate everything around me for the entire month of December so I feel that by going "cold turkey" for a while is a good way to break the habits I was getting into & just make me appriciate food. I know that the only thing which really works for me to keep me in shape is regular excercise, but that hasnt been possible with a little baba so like I said my plan is to buy a decent treadmill in the next week or two. Well done on your own achievement & u have a great "get up and go" attitude, but if you dont like or approve of something, just ignore it, dont waste time on it!!;)

Thanks a mill Fend & Coleen support is really appriciated, and your storey has given me heaps of motivation!! Just cant wait for this first week to be over Iv never known the days to go so slowly, lol!! Still determined though . . .:cool:

It's good that it gives you a kickstart. It's just a pity that, in my line of work, i have seen many many people do lipotrim, lose weight, then eventually gain it back plus interest.

Having an appreciation for food is good. It is fuel after all, akin to petrol to a car.

I know that the only thing which really works for me to keep me in shape is regular excercise, but that hasnt been possible with a little baba so like I said my plan is to buy a decent treadmill in the next week or two.

Good good. Don't forget to vary it up. Lots of stuff can be done in the home like body weight exercises. Exrx.net is a great site to look at and has video tutorials you can get ideas from for bodyweight exercises.

Well done on your own achievement & u have a great "get up and go" attitude, but if you dont like or approve of something, just ignore it, dont waste time on it!!;)

This is a discussion forum. Wouldn't be much discussion if we all agreed now, would there be?!

Best of luck on your journey.
