Liveadream, that REALLY sucks about being made redundant. I am so sorry. The one thin silver lining to this storm cloud is that because you've been dieting, you're going to look and feel great when you go for interviews!
Did I mention that I started Lipotrim because of a job interview? It was scheduled six weeks out, and I knew my chances of getting it were 1 in 7. I also knew I'd spend a whole month preparing for that interview and would be left with zero for my time and and effort if I didn't get the job. I decided if I started and stuck to Lipotrim, I'd at least have gained something for all that effort. So I didn't get the job, but I lost thirty pounds! On that same logic, you could use this period of time to get down to the weight you want to, and have something to show for what probably will not be a fun couple of months.
I don't have a Lipotrim rep because I am doing this in the States right now, where Lipotrim is not sold. I just walked into a pharmacy two days before Christmas, the night before my flight, and they sold me 6 weeks worth, no questions asked. Last week I found a rep in the UK who I like a lot. She spent half an hour on Skype with me exploring different options for when I get to the refeeding and maintenance stages. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. And she mailed me my packages over here. She charges 40 pounds per 21 packets, so if you don't mind paying a bit extra for postage, you could get yours by mail and save the trip to the pharmacy, then talk to her over the phone as you need to. At any rate, she was terrific, and I am thinking about making some of the modifications she suggested, especially since this week I really hit an invisible wall with the Lipotrim.
Suddenly I am having trouble tolerating the taste. I am not interested in the morning shake, which I used to look forward to, and I can barely force myself to drink half the soup in the evening. The idea of the packets makes me slightly ill just to think about it. So I am getting down as much as I can, but that's probably only half of what I am meant to be drinking. This came out of the blue--I was doing so well. I am still 100%, no cheating. But clearly if this keeps up, I am going to have to switch products. I am thinking of switching over to Cambridge, as I am hearing their products are more appetizing. Will try to stay on the Lipotrim for another two weeks or so until my supplies run out... Oye! Has anyone else had this experience of suddenly developing an intolerance for the product?
No matter what though, I am keeping going. It's going to take more than this to knock me off my horse. I am determined to lose another 25 pounds before going on maintenance, and hopefully more, though I won't compromise my health. And when I am done, I am not doing this again. Famous last words, I know, lol.
