Lipodrene

**Tallgirl82** · October 3rd, 2005, 12:51 PM

Hi all! Skinnyminny, you asked if anyone is on a special eating plan... I am doing Weight Watchers too. I have been doing WW for a while and my weight just kind of stalled out. I love having the portion control of WW. I can still eat pretty much anything I want, but in moderation of course. Like anything else.

I was getting hot flashes the few days after starting Lipo. But theyre pretty much gone now. Hey, its a small price to pay for getting to goal!!!

**Tallgirl82** · October 3rd, 2005, 12:52 PM

When I said "too" I meant as well as Lipo. sorry. And I call myself a writer! HA!

**skinnyminny** · October 3rd, 2005, 01:48 PM

Hi Tallgirl,

The hot flashes are terrible. Is this what the "change" is going to be like? So right, a small price to pay for lost pounds. Come on heat bring it on, I have a fan ready to go.

I was thinking of doing a low carb diet with a little fruit a day. I am not hungry at all. I noticed yesterday, I felt queasy, maybe it's the pills. When I take one pill (whole) it lasts the whole day and the a half of the next. This is some strong sh*t. Anywho, I do love it and will continue, hot flashes and all.

Well I have been on lipo for about three weeks and havent lost any weight, but I know its because I have been eating crap and not exercising!!! I think it works better for me if i take it and then eat about two hours later instead of taking it an hur after I eat, when I do that I feel nothing. I am going back on phen jsut as soon as I get some, have been having problems ordering on line without a script.
Anyhow maybe if i ate right and exercised i would lose the weight, I jsut feel like I have no motovation right now!

**boomer sooner** · October 4th, 2005, 06:31 AM

Chris..I have been taking my first one in the morning even if I haven't ate anything. I know I probably shouldn't do that but I am not a big breakfast eater and I usually don't have time to stop for anything or cook because I take college classes in the a.m. and then go to work about 9:30, then off to another class after work and then to get my kids. This is why I got fat in the first place, my schedule, my kids schedule and keeping the house clean and lawn mowed I eat a lot of take out. The only time I can cook is on the weekends.

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 4th, 2005, 11:26 AM

chriswil - I, too am having problems reordering phen. its crazy!!! I was thinking I would take a break from lipo for a while and go back to phen. this is driving me nuts!

**Pretty Lola** · October 5th, 2005, 03:30 AM

Hi everyone- I ordered some lipodrene and it should be here any day now. I was just wondering if you could answer either of these questions.

1. Does it make you constipated, like phen?

2. Have you built up a tolerance to it? I used to take metabolife with ephedra back in the day, so I didn't know if my body would be "resistant" to the lipo already.

That's all. For those of you who are taking lipo before you eat, that's what I did with phen too... I would always take it on an empty stomach in the morning and it worked WAY better than taking it near a meal time. Also, drinking a lot of water after you take it seems to kick it in more (and I'm thinking the lipo is probably similar).

**SarahBelle** · October 5th, 2005, 03:46 AM

Hello All, I'm brand spanking new. :D

I weight 165 and five foot eight. I need to loose around 30 to 40 lbs. I joined curves (wohoo) and have a half bottle left of Lipodrene after my mother in law had taken it. She had great results and was done loosing her weight.

So its my turn.
What are the key things to remember? Should I give up my beloved cokes all together? *cry*
You guys are great .

**Tallgirl82** · October 5th, 2005, 05:56 PM

Sarah, welcome. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my weight loss since giving up soda all together. I dont even have any diet! Also, you want to STAY AWAY from all caffine while on Lipo! Trust me.... it only took one night of laying wide awake literally all night for me to learn that lesson. Just trying to spare you the agony...lol!

**beckyinvb** · October 6th, 2005, 03:32 AM

Why is everyone having so many problems ordering Phen? I got an email from one of the sites I ordered from in the past about having a physicians notice. I ordered from my other site and had no problems getting a 90 day supply.

**SarahBelle** · October 6th, 2005, 01:00 PM

thanks for replying, one quick question:

I have the yellow pills, do these have the banned substance (it may be overturned, whatever) ephedra or somthing in it?
I dont want to take something dangerous. Please respond, yall are awesome.

**Tallgirl82** · October 6th, 2005, 02:31 PM

Yes, the yellow pills have ephedra in them. If you take them AS DIRECTED, you will be fine. It is all these people that absed ephedra that died and have side effects now. Trust me, i did A LOT of research on this stuff before buying it. I have been monitoring my pulse and blood pressure daily just to be sure and I havent noticed any irregularities. If you want, start with just one pill a day, or half a pill at a time and go from there. I love it! I have lost 5.2 in two weeks on it! It seems to be just what my body needed to jump off the 4 month plateau.

**SarahBelle** · October 6th, 2005, 03:05 PM

I'd be seriously happy at 125 or 130 . Thats around 35 pounds to loose. I'm doing special K and joined curves, and tommorow *sigh* I give up cokes and start water and this stuff.
yay.
Wish me luck, i'll take any advice , :D You guys are appreciated.

**Chasity** · October 7th, 2005, 05:08 AM

okasy so i took my first pill just a while ago, energy is good.. i definitally feel it! i will keep everyone updated on my loss :)

**boomer sooner** · October 7th, 2005, 08:34 AM

sarahbelle...my only advice is to have some tylenol or ibuprofen handy cause you are probably going to have a killer headache from caffeine withdrawal. Good luck!!

**OnMyWay04** · October 7th, 2005, 10:52 AM

Since the phen was making me sweat and feel so hot just bending over, I stopped and started the Lipo.....The Lipo I can SLEEP too!! I will weigh myself weekly, only been on the Lipo 2 days.

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 7th, 2005, 11:05 AM

Lipo makes me sweat and feel hot all the time! Phen never made me feel that way. Its amazing how people react so differently to the same thing.

**skinnyminny** · October 7th, 2005, 01:37 PM

VABeach

So right, I feel so hot on the Lipo but fine on Phen, accept for the hair loss. With lipo, no shedding just a wet head, sometimes. LOL.

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 7th, 2005, 02:40 PM

Hehe! My husband gets mad at me because I CONSTANTLY leave the ceiling fan on! He freezes and I burn up! It used to be the other way around!

LOL

**Tallgirl82** · October 7th, 2005, 04:11 PM

HAHA! VaBeach, your DH sounds like me! I am always cold and my DH is sweaty and hot! I noticed the "hot flashes" the first few days, but I havent had them lately. Small price to pay though...lol. I weigh in tomorrow morning at Weight Watchers. I will let you know. I had TOM this week, so I dont know how that will affect my WI. I was on the depo shot for 4 years and never had TOM!! It rocked! BUT, recent studies show it causes premature menopause. It took me 19 months off of the Depo to get TOM. Okay, maybe tmi...lol. So long story short, I have never had TOM while trying to lose weight.

**beckyinvb** · October 8th, 2005, 06:03 AM

Well, I haven't taken Lipodrene for a few weeks after a vertigo incident I had. I took one this morning and started to feel a little dizzy about an hour later. I'm wondering if this is what brought on my vertigo in the first place. I don't have this feeling with Phen. Anyone else get dizzy?

**OnMyWay04** · October 8th, 2005, 07:57 AM

VA what mg of Phen do you take? Im almost thinking the 37.5 isn't for me, I didn't sweat or feel the way I feel when I tried the 30mg, but I don't want to waste them now < Sigh >

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 8th, 2005, 08:07 AM

OnMyWay - I was taking the 37.5 mg...

Becky - no dizziness for me. Maybe there is something in the ingredients of lipodrene that causes an adverse effect on you. Maybe something is clashing with other medicine you are taking?

I certainly hope the dizziness goes away for you. Sounds a bit strange. Do a google search on ( "causes of dizziness" diet ) and click on the first link that pops up called "Symptom: Dizziness." It even mentions vertigo in the article stating that dizziness is a sympton of vertigo. But with the onset of dizziness today seems lipodrene related to me.

The article also states that caffeine is a substance which can cause dizziness.

**beckyinvb** · October 8th, 2005, 12:27 PM

I read one of the Google documents, interesting. When I had my original vertigo incident I went to the doctor. My left ear looked irritated and he thought it was due to congestion. I've been taking some decongestants to dry it up and eventually antibiotics. The Lipodrene I took today though made me feel like it was coming back on. I took two of the dizziness pills he gave me (can't remember the name) and that helped. They make you tired though. I took it easy today and didn't make any sudden movements or have my head lower than my knees. It may be the caffeine in the Lipodrene that makes it worse.

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 8th, 2005, 01:58 PM

That's exactly what I was thinking becky. Maybe you would have to cut your pills in half again to avoid the dizziness feeling.

**jwgmommy** · October 9th, 2005, 12:02 PM

any more weight losses, i'm down another pound!

**Tallgirl82** · October 10th, 2005, 05:40 AM

I gained .8!!! :( I am almost certain it is because of TOM. Does anyone else gain with TOM?

**skinnyminny** · October 10th, 2005, 01:12 PM

Congrats jwgmommy on your weight loss!!

Tallgirl, yes I gain weight too on TOM and I eat like a wild horse. But with Lipo, I am not hungry and TOM came and went without the usual moodiness, meaness and the urge to pick an agruement with anyone who would listen LOL !! Thank goodness. Just think, when it get cooler here, I won't even need to turn on my heat, I'll just pop a lipo and the will be nice and toasty. Plus my heating bill will stay low for the winter. LOL

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 10th, 2005, 02:00 PM

Well, I do know that when TOM is here, the weight loss slows down A LOT! Lately, I have not gained during TOM, but I have not seen much of a loss either during TOM.

Speaking of which, TOM is here now and I can't wait for him to GO AWAY!

**Tallgirl82** · October 10th, 2005, 04:06 PM

okay... I dont feel so bad now. lol. I will just be sure to be really careful this week with sodium and make sure to get my workouts in. :)

**elle78** · October 10th, 2005, 06:42 PM

Sarabelle,
That is wonderful you are joining Curves. I used to be member there and then I worked there for almost 2 years. You definitely will see good results if you go at least 4x a week. The machines are hydraulic resistant, so the harder you work yourself the better a workout you get. Great place to meet a lot of really wonderful people, too!! Good luck, you definitely will lose inches!!

**youcandoit** · October 11th, 2005, 10:11 AM

i want to look into getting some of those pills. ive heard alot of good things about them. what i want to know is....how much weight have you all lost on them?? are they as good as phen(i know they cant touch phen, but at least a good substitute.)....let me know.

**VaBeachTeacher** · October 14th, 2005, 10:25 AM

Still on lipodrene and lost 2.4 pounds this week! Yayy! :D How is everyone else doing?

**Tallgirl82** · October 15th, 2005, 05:24 AM

I gained .6!!!!!!!!!! I dont get it! I have been taking the lipo every day. I am getting really discouraged. I had great results my first two weeks on lipo. Then, the 3rd and 4th weeks I gained. Am I building up a resistance already??

**Apple Shaped** · October 15th, 2005, 07:38 AM

HI Guys!

I read through this posting and was so convinced that I bought a bottle of Lipodrene.
I have been on it for a week and have had the shakes and find myself munching on things like popcorn etc. I haven't found that I eat less! I am hoping that my sped up metabolism will make up for these extra calories. Anyone out there on Lipodrene still have an appetite?

Btw, I ordered from Zshop on the web and it came in two days!
