Hi All :wave_cry:,
Just got myself registered after starting a Lipotrim diet on Monday.

Looking at my weight and not being able to get a grip to lose it, a wonderful 9 month old son and the prospect of all manner of bad health issues on the horizon:cry: - it seemed daft not to grab the fat bull by the horns and wrestle it down.

Started on Monday after an enjoyable week-end eating my fave foods and drinking my fave wines (not to excess I might add!).

Been a bit of a rollercoaster since then, a bit of light-headiness, stomach cramps and nausea but......I’ve not been feeling hungry and weight seems to be coming off nicely thank-you-very-much :D.

The thing I miss most is cooking in the kitchen for my wife and sitting down to eat an enjoyable meal with a nice bottle of red. When I’ve got a grip on the diet, I hope to at least still cook for her and sit down at the table eating my food with her enjoying the food I’ve prepared for her – but early doors eh?

The story so far…………………

Found the shakes OK – surprised I favoured the choccie over the vanilla as I normally like vanilla over choccie!

Flapjacks – surely trade descriptions would have something to say about that title but coconut far better than the peanut ones (although I couldn’t taste the peanuts!).

Chicken soup(ish) – found one measure too much. As I’m on a male diet, I’ve found it better to use half a portion of soup with slightly more water (500ml) – it seems to make it more soupy. I use my other half portion the next day. To make up my quota of portions, I have my flapjack in the morning and dunk it in a nice cup of tea – still got some habits to preserve after all eh!

Day 1 – fine.
Day 2 – slight tummy ache + headaches.
Day 3 – same as 2
Day 4 – feeeeeelin good.
Day 5 – pm – bad stomach ache + nausea but after phoning the Pharmacist, he advised that I should try some carbonated water which knocked that on the head.

Day five was a bit of a scare as I was worried I might have to come off it and re-feed but now I’m back on track and looking forward to my first weigh in on Monday.

Look forward to all the support and comments Mini-Mins offers

Hi, welcome. Im on day 5 too! great weight loss so far, ive lost 12lb in 5 days its great isnt it!!!
 
Hi there, fab start, it gets easier after first weigh in. Keep going it is so worth it :)
 
Hi LJ,

Thanks for the response - it sure is!

It seems too good to be true - getting through this first week with these sort of results keeps me going.

I hope the following weeks are effective enough to keep me keen :).
 
Good luck to you. Will be so much easier once you get the first week out the way and you have the support of everyone on this forum. Good luck with the first weigh in.
 
Hi I like cooking to and managed to start doing a nice meal on day 4. Its weird though because you have no idea if it tastes ok is there enough salt herbs sugar etc. I would say rope youre lucky wife in as the taster and do not even lick youre fingers.
Good luck
