Leptitrex
SummaryLeptitrex is a diet pill with a great many ingredients that is being marketed largely by word of mouth. It claims to help you lose fat fast, detox, suppress your appetite, and build lean muscle. Plus, you get your acne eliminated and a euphoric "high" thrown in for your troubles. DescriptionLeptitrex contains a mixture of vitamins (e.g. C, B12, B6, and Chromium Polynicotinate) along with a many "fat burning" (euphoric) mostly herbal components: Chocamine, Di-Caffeine Malate, Rhodiola Rosea, St. John's Wort, L-Tyrosine, Picamilon, Phenylalanine, hops, Phenylethylamine (PEA), Synephrine, Ginkgo, Siberian Ginseng, Ginger, 5-HTP, and Vinpocetine. Then, there are the "10 super foods" ingredients: Barley, Garlic, Cayenne, Buckwheat, Soybeans, Flaxseed, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Wheatgrass, Acai, and alfalfa. Next, there are the ingredients to give you lean muscles: L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Arginine, Avena Sativa, Mucuna Pruniens, Ipriflavone, Ecdysterone, and Coleus. The detox ingredients are: dandelion root, milk thistle, licorice, cranberry, uva ursi, and sage. The anti-agine ingredients: green tea, DMAE, acetyl-L-Carnitine, and alpha lipoic acid. Whew, that's lots of ingredients! Leptitrex calls each group a "matrix". The vitamins prevent your body from being deficient while also promoting the proper conditions ("fat burning atmosphere") for the fat burner ingredients to do their stuff. The fat burning ingredients are various stimulants and other herbal substances that have been associated with weight-loss. Notably, phenylethylamine is a fairly new ingredient that Leptitrex that many other diet pills don't have. It is extracted from chocolate, believe it or not. The euphoric "love" feeling these pills may give you comes from this. You may have heard that chocolate makes you feel like you're in love, well the belief here is that phenylethylamine is the source of this. This also promotes weight-loss, without all the calories and fat from actually eating chocolate. The "10 superfoods" come from Dr. Nicholas Perricone who was on Oprah. His wife has been very successful at marketing Orovo. Leptitrex is clearly an immitator, of sorts. Though Leptitrex is also doing it's own thing with many other ingredients. Note that there is also a product named "Lipitrex" (which doesn't have a 't' in the middle), but it is not the same as Leptitrex. CriticismWith so many ingredients and only very trace amounts of each in the pill, Leptitrex is clearly a buck-shot approach that may be spreading itself too thin trying to cover every possible angle.

| AZ | posted 8-Aug-2008 12:38pm Day 2 on the pills and funny enough, my appetite has already gone down! WOW! unless it's all in my head. I'm just not hungry at all, I had a tiny granola bar just to get rid of the queezy feeling I get from taking the pills and was planning on eating a real breakfast but now I'm not even hungry, which is unusual. hummm I like it already! |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Aug-2008 1:16pm I experienced the same loss of appetite after starting daily use of Leptitrex. Since I do intensive daily weight training I try to eat a lot of high protein foods each day, but I have to actually remind myself to eat. I no longer have the urge to eat and the hunger pains are gone. I think taking Leptitrex would be excellent for someone that believed in 'fasting' (which I myself wouldn't recommend). |
| AZ | posted 8-Aug-2008 1:49pm Oh yeah, I agree. I was thinking of getting Protein Bars just to snack on throughout the day just to keep something in me, because I do sometimes forget to eat if I don't get hungry. - as for the drinking a lot of water. I don't think that I have to remind myself to drink a lot of water either. I am always feeling thirsty. I usually drink a lot of water anyways, but these pills remind me to drink it! :) and the every 15 minute potty breaks... :) - so far I like this stuff, despite the queezy feeling after taking them. |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Aug-2008 2:35pm I 'bend' their recommendations slightly, as I don't like taking vitamins or any other supplements on an empty stomach. This is expecially true with Leptitrex after reading all the contents in each pill. Not sure if I would do it with high carb foods, but I drink a full glass of water and eat a couple slices of high protein type food (cheese, chicken, turkey) or maybe a little tuna about 5 minutes before taking each 'dose', and make myself eat more about a half hour later. The fat burner Ecdysterone needs protein to work anyway, and by having a little food in my stomach when taking the pills I haven't experienced any of the 'stomach burning/warmth' that many have mentioned. But then again, what is best for one might not be best for others. |
| AZ | posted 8-Aug-2008 2:48pm Good Advice... I'll try that for Lunch! umm right now! thanks! |
| AZ | posted 8-Aug-2008 5:04pm Update - I ate a couple small pieces of cheese before I took the pills and I was fine! thanks for that Tip! |
| Anonymous | posted 8-Aug-2008 5:25pm Glad to hear that the "little protein in the stomach before pills" trick worked for you as well... Might as well make the experience of taking Leptitrex as pleasent as possible.... |
| Anonymous | posted 9-Aug-2008 7:56pm i have been on this pill for only 3 days and havent notice any weight loss. however, it has given me many bad side effects. i never had terrible headaches unitl i started taking this pill. it has been only 3 days but the headaches are horrible, i know it is the pill because i haven't added anything new to my diet. it stinks that this didn't work for me but hopefully everyone else has better results |
| gusMahler | posted 9-Aug-2008 10:43pm Sorry to read that you are having headaches Anon...all pills react differently for each individual and it is a shame that this is happening to you. Do you take any other medications which might be causing a counter-effect? I recall reading about one of the other diet pills I was looking at, that over the counter allergy medicines can have adverse effects..... |
| jerry | posted 10-Aug-2008 6:08pm okay guys i am ordering a bottle of lepitirex, i am not overweight or anything but i just wanted to lose that last couple of pounds. i'll let you guys know how it goes. |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 11:23am Update: well I went to the gym Sunday afternoon and stepped on their scale since I don't have one of my own. I was consistantly 150 - but this time.,........ it said 146 or 147 - it was hard to tell, it was the kind with the lil lines... :) but hey!!! nevertheless - I LOST WEIGHT! I don't feel any differnt, or like I have lost any, but the scale says I have. soo YEAH! It's working.!!! |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 11:57am Oh yeah I didn't mention.. SUnday was only mt 3rd day on the pills |
| Anonymous | posted 11-Aug-2008 12:37pm AZ, Sounds great, and it appears that you are getting good results in the few days since you began taking Leptitrex. But you should realize that the actual "weight loss" experienced is only one indication of how well the pill is working. You mentioned going to the gym, so I assume you are involved in some type of exercise program, which is good as exercise will assist in both burning excessive body fat as well as increasing lean muscle growth. In the long run the amount and speed of actual 'weight loss' will depend on many factor, including eating a proper diet, a good exercise program, and your current BMI. The pills will assist in both burning fat as well as building lean muscle mass, and if a person has a lower Body Mass Index their fat loss might not be as rapid as someone with a higher BMI, and the fat loss might actually be offset by muscle growth. This might be disappointing to someone that only judges success by rapid 'weight loss'. During the past week or so my weight hasn't changed one bit, but my muscles are becoming more defined and my BMI continues to fall. Since I began using Leptitrex I've "only" lost 8 pounds, but my BMI has dropped from 14% to 10%, which is a major improvement, even if it isn't reflected on the scales. I do eat healthy foods in moderation, am involved in daily weight training, but my exercise routine and diet haven't changed since I started taking Leptitrex. Anyway it sounds like things are working for you, and hopefully you will continue to see improvements each week. |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 12:58pm Thanks. Anony.... Yes, I workout about 3 -4 times a week (cardio & weights) and I eat pretty healthy ( I think anyways :) ) but the weight just wouldn't come off of me! Very frustrating. I am not only looking at weight loss as you mentioned, you are judging your muscle defination; I am also looking at that becasue we all know that muscle weights more then fat! I'd be more then happy if I was still the same weight but muscle!! that would be awesome! - I'm just very happy that these seem to be doing the job here, I'll step on the scale again this Sunday morning at the gym to see where I stand. - I'll also keep an eye on my body to check for Muscle defination, more / less / same.... OH ALSO - at my gym they do a free body exam / BMI and all of that every 5 weeks, and by the time I finish my bottle I will be due for my exam, sooo we'll see how much actual FAT I've lost and I'll post that exciting news as well!!! I love reading about everyone's sucess and expierances with these pills, soo please keep posting them. |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 12:59pm JERRY - GOOD LUCK WITH IT!!! Please post your results / problems, issues here as well. There is alot of help and motivation to give out! :) |
| jerry | posted 11-Aug-2008 2:58pm well the sad thing is that the sales rep at leptitrex says delivery to canada will take 10-14 days and even 3 weeks... |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 3:18pm Oh wow! I got mine in 3 days, of course I'm not in Canada, but I believe that is becasue of Customs... unfortunatly! :( |
| jerry | posted 11-Aug-2008 6:33pm hmm anyone know of a easy way to figure out your body fat %? i wanna track my progress without using scales as they're not accurate. |
| AZ | posted 11-Aug-2008 7:16pm sooo I don't know what is going on but today I have been sooo hungry! I've been trying to eat small pieces of cheese, or lil 100 calorie snack packs, keeping it low and small but I am still hungry, chugging water isn't helping. - Anyone else having this issue. |
| determined | posted 11-Aug-2008 8:50pm Hey guys! Love your message board....I've been taking them for 3 days, drinking lots of water, eating protien bars, and have lost 5 pounds! I weigh 160, but until a year ago my average weight was 115, I AM DETERMINED to get back to 115! |
| gusMahler | posted 11-Aug-2008 10:56pm AZ...regarding your hunger...I would say that since April, I may have had a total of 6 or 7 days tops where I felt hungry even though I was taking the pills...it only happened for single days and I was back to my usual program the next day....One thing I am doing now is taking such days in stride and not worry about it...even when I felt that I over ate on a given day, the end result was that I was still losing weight...that is why, as I stated in my initial post, that I will not weigh myself and become a slave to a scale...as long as my clothes continue to gradually become looser, then I am fine with how I am doing, even if I have a day where I eat more than I want to.... |
| gusMahler | posted 11-Aug-2008 11:15pm ...le me give a recent example of how the pills affected my desire to eat which outweighs (no pun intended) the occassional overeating moment....last week, I took my morning pills and had a decent sized breakfast...I was planning to spend the day at the shore, on the boardwalk, and I brought along my afternoon pills because I was going to enjoy some seafood..well I walked the boardwalk for close to an hour and could not find a decent seafood joint to save my life...everything was pizza, burgers and what seafood was there, it was fried...since I had alot more boardwalk to cover, I bought a bottle of water and took my pills, thinking that I would certainly find a decent place to eat....well, an hour of more walking still netted me no seafood...I was surprised that with all the walking I did, I was not hungry after an hour had passed since I took the pills and my breakfast was consume a good seven hours ago! So, after walking around for well over 2 hours, I decided to leave... ...now what is important to understand is that this is not me....had I been on a lo-carb diet, I know I would have eaten. In fact, there was a Kansas City BBQ place on the boardwalk that looked enticing, but I shrugged it off and continued on. The old me would have certainly gone inside. I also would have very easily come up with the excuse, that "hey, I'm here so I might as well enjoy myself, diet be damned!" attitude and ate everything in sight. But, I had no desire to even do that. Knowing my past history of straying off my diet, even when I am doing well on it, the fact that I stuck to my convictions and turned away from all of the choices on the boardwalk, was definately not my usual M.O. I have to say that the pills helped me on that day, that fact, I am most certain of, so as I see a gradual change in my habits, I forgive myself if I eat a bit more on another day.....I hope this helps |
| deni | posted 12-Aug-2008 4:17am hi all, well i agree - you have to enjoy yourself occasionaly and not feel guilty. An occasional overeat won't do anything to you - it's when it becomes more than that you pile on the pounds.if you take the pill - and do not eat - does it have an effect? does anyone know? my pills never arrived ordered over 3 weeks ago (UK) they have now said they will re-despatch them. All this time i could have been benefiting.... |
| AZ | posted 12-Aug-2008 11:23am Well, that was really good to know GusMahler. I started to get nervous, that my appitite would go down for a couple days then I would be hungry hungry hungry and want to eat everything in site to make up for those couple days of not eating all so much. - ALSO - I went to the gym last night and did a bootcamp, and I know I wasn't going to step on that scale again, but I was curious that if that couple pounds the scale said I lost was a fluke and it I was back up to 150, but to my surprise... I was down even more.. I even stepped on the scale like 4 times or more... I adjusted it, made sure it was on ZERO, and stepped on it again.. nope, it was repeatedly saying that I lost 5 pounds... WOW - it hasn't even been 1 week yet! - I've been working out harder while at the gym as well, I started taking my dog out for extra morning jogs as well... that could be helping out with it all as well... I do feel like my belly chub is going down some, nothing more yet. I was going to take measurments but I can never remember the EXACT place that I took the last measurement so it's never right... lol - sooo I have these low rise pair of jeans that I am measuring by. they are non-stretch and low enough that I can watch the belly over-flow go down. I figured that would be the best way to keep track! - If I can get back into those jeans and a short top and look sexy again!!! crap!! This is definatly the Pill for me!!! - lol - ALSO - My husband and I got his dad on these pills. Today is his 3rd day on them. I don't know how he is doing today but I know yesterday he said that he couldn't feel any difference, no change in appitite, energy, anything... Hope he can feel a dfference today. Let's see!!! - DENI - that really sucks!!!! - too bad we can't just send it in the mail to you. Customs is sooo difficult to deal with. Hope you get them soon!!!! |
| AZ | posted 12-Aug-2008 11:32am BTW - Awesome News Determined... I want to get to 115 too. that is what I weighed while in highschool, then when I was training and down to my smallest as an adult, and I just haven't been able to get back to it! - I was once a model and want to try to get back into it (EASY MONEY TO PAY FOR COLLEGE) and need to lose this weight quick to get back up and running!!! - Keep the news posting... very encouraging! YEAH FOR US ALL!!!! |
| catpower1818 | posted 12-Aug-2008 4:33pm Still on the first bottle and I'm down one notch on my belt. That's at least an inch lost. |
| gusMahler | posted 12-Aug-2008 5:34pm DENI..I believe a side effect for not having any food is light-headedness..I know it happened to me on one occassion when I failed to eat breakfast due to becoming busy... I will be critcal of one thing, the bottles come with no docmentation. You would think they would invest in a producing a pamphlet to help guide you along...... |
| Anonymous | posted 12-Aug-2008 9:30pm DENI, At the very least I'd sure recommend some type of protein rich food when, or within a half hour of taking Leptitrex. Depending on your diet this could be a little cheese, tuna, chicken, turkey, red meat, peanuts/peanut butter, etc... Although it isn't mentioned anywhere on the bottle, one of the main "fat burning' supplements in Leptitrex (Ecdysterone) requires protein to work properly. Many times I'm not hungry when I take my morning or afternoon dose of Leptitrex, but I will still make sure that I eat at least a little high protein food. Once again this is just my opinion.. |
| deni | posted 13-Aug-2008 4:14am hi Guys - thanks all for the comments. I am so frustrated that mine haven't arrived - it is in the 4th week now. i hope the new lot arrive! i bet someone in customs is losing weight using my pills!!! x |
| Jaezee | posted 13-Aug-2008 7:34am Hey everyone, Started my bottle of Leptitrex 3 days ago and I've already lost 5 pounds! As with a few people here, I've tried virtually EVERYTHING: From Slimfast and Herbal Magic to other not-so-healthy dieting practices. The upside of this pill, I have an abundance of energy (I work out 5 days a week for 1hr 30mins) and my appetite has been curbed like you wouldn't believe. The down side, I do get killer heartburn about 10mins after tking the pill and I do find muself to be a bit jittery for about an hour or so after each dose. Overall, I'm pretty excited and motivated to keep on truckin'! I think with excercise (a bit more than "moderate") and a high protien diet with a lot of water, fresh fruits and vegetables, success with Leptitrex is definately achievable :) Good luck to everyone out there and I'll keep you all posted. Take care. |
| deni | posted 13-Aug-2008 9:01am well done Jaezee - do you eat after you take the pill - maybe if you dont thats why you feel jittery? |
| AZ | posted 13-Aug-2008 12:15pm Deni - yeah I Bet someone is grabbing those pills in Customs.. I know it gets done from here-say but - who really knows.. - ALSO - Jaezee - if you follow the advise of Anony... they said to eat a couple small pieces of cheese a couple minutes before taking the pill, it REALLY settles the stomach. Ever since that was suggested I have been doing it and no longer have the queezyness - and I'm sure that the jitters are also a part of that whole reaction thing.... I didn't have that issue, but eating some cheese wouldn't hurt - Give it a try and let us know if it works for you as well. |
| CJ | posted 13-Aug-2008 2:58pm Hi guys!! Thanks for this thread.. I've spent the past few days keeping up with it and it's really getting me excited!! My hubby HAS to loose 40 pounds (or gain muscle weight) by mid Oct in order to keep his job!! He started doing Slim Fast and then I did some research and found Leptitrex online. This weekend we ordered them for him and me (I need to loose about 25 lbs) They came today (we ordered the 4 bottles at once) so we'll be starting tomorrow. DH is going to continue doing slim fast twice a day and eating a normal dinner.. I'm just going to eat healthy... we both work out 5 days a week. Thanks for all the tips here, I am going to put them to good use and hopefully we'll be successful.. I've been stuck at 163 for SO long.. lost 50 pounds on South Beach Diet and kept it off for a year.. have slowly gained back 40 of it, then lost 20.. now I'm stuck :) Hopefully this will help! I'll keep everyone posted with our results :) |
| Anonymous | posted 13-Aug-2008 4:01pm Hi CJ, Just wanted to say 'hello', and I hope you and your hubby enjoy excellent results while taking Leptitrex. If you exercise, eat a healthy diet, watch the carbs and total daily calorie intake you should do fine. Leptitrex is an excellent supplement that will really help a person obtain their end goal, but we all know there is no such thing as a "magic pill" that can make up for continued bad eating habits, lack of exercise, etc. My opinion is that dropping weight is much like gaining weight. Both take time and neither happen overnight. But Leptitrex appears to have the 'right stuff' to put your system into overdrive to accelerate the process of reaching your desired goal. Good Luck, and keep us posted on your results. |
| AZ | posted 13-Aug-2008 5:01pm sooo I hear this that "detox" part of taking this pill sucks! Have any of you had any issues, and what happens, do you just go pee constantly to wash it all out... or are you cramping up....etc... I don't know I read it on another site and I kinda got worried, wondering what is going to happen.... anyone??? |
| gusMahler | posted 13-Aug-2008 5:39pm This "detox" issue is new to me, as I said previously, the only side effect I had was light-headedness if I failed to eat, but even that did not happen every time..as far as peeing goes, I have not needed a pair of depends yet...every single diet pill that I have read about has it's pros and cons and this product is no exception, but so far, I have had good results with no problems.... |
| AZ | posted 13-Aug-2008 5:55pm good to know... and since you have been on this for a while I'll take that info... :) - hearing something like that and the info was so general and didn't give any real info as to what was going on it was a lil wierd. - WELL - today is my 1 week on the pill and I haven't weighed myself today - but I am going to the gym tonight, soo we will see what I weigh after a full day. I'll post back a quick memo when I find out. Hopefully I haven't gained it all back.. hehehee :) |
| Anonymous | posted 13-Aug-2008 6:20pm I believe the possibility of experiencing minor side effects from initial Detox (especially when supplement assisted) will vary from person to person. Detox is nothing more than eliminating toxins and contaminates from your body, and the amount of toxins and contaminates in a persons body can vary greatly, depending on prior diet and other considerations. Guess all I am saying is that one person might experience side effects like headaches and major fluid loss during the first couple of days, while someone else might not experience or notice anything out of the ordinary. |
| Jaezee | posted 14-Aug-2008 9:10am Hey AZ, thanks for the cheese tip but unfortunately, I'm lactose intolerant :( However, I did take deni's advice and had a bite to eat when i took my dose this morning. You see, I try to head to the gym at 5am. Waaaaaay to early to eat a real breakfast. I still take my pills though for the energy boost. This morning I ate a small piece of some left over grilled chicken (cold) with quite a bit of water. That helped a lot! I must say, all you guys are awesome! Super helpful and supportive :) ***OH YEAH! Must share this, If any of you ladies out there take the birth control pill, I think you should be careful. Leptitrex contains St.Johns Wort which is proven to lessen the effects of the pill. It's the 3rd ingredient on the label which may mean that it could be in a high enough quantity to affect your pill. I'm researching and consulting my doctor but in the mean time, it would be wise to use a backup method of birth cotrol. I'll keep you guys posted with any info. Take care. |
| AZ | posted 14-Aug-2008 11:06am Update: 1 week down and 5 pounds lost. - it feels like my stomach is tighter, could be my imagination but, that's ok. - Jaezee - Glad someone's advise worked for you! :) - the jitters is not a good feeling, so I'm glad that is taken care of. regarding the St. John wart... hummm I have the NuvaRing, I'm praying that it doens't effect this method of Birth Control. I don't want anymore kids.!!!! - ALSO - Update for my husband (speaking of kids..hehehe) there was a pair of pants that he couldn't wear because they were too tight and uncomfortable and yesterday he was able to put them on and wear them all day with out a problem.. not only did they fit but he had some room to spare. He has his evaluation with the Gym today to see how much he weighs but we are thinking that he has lost at least 5 - 7 pounds already on these pills. |
| Deni | posted 14-Aug-2008 3:00pm well done guys... i'm still waiting! but by the time they arrive (if they do) i will be an expert he he x |
| Ali | posted 14-Aug-2008 3:31pm Jaezee, I'm glad you mentioned how Leptitrex can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. I began taking Leptitrex almost a week ago. When I pulled it out of the shipping package I immediately read the ingredients and saw St.Johns wort on this list, which decreases the effectiveness of birth control by about 50%. I searched all over the internet and couldn't find any info about Leptitrex and birth control. I still wanted to give Leptitrex a shot, so I went to the pharmacy to seek an alternate method of birth control just in case. Good thing I read the ingredients, because I started spotting yesterday. AZ, I read this on the NuvaRing website, "Pregnancies and breakthrough bleeding have been reported by users of combined hormonal birth control who also used the herbal supplement St. John’s Wort. You may need to use a nonhormonal method of contraception during any cycle in which you take drugs that can make oral birth control less effective." I love all the feedback and support on this message board. I will try to check back everyday. It has been 6 days and I have only lost 2 pounds so far, but I feel great. K2O protein water has helped me get additional protein without having to eat high calorie protein bars. |
| AZ | posted 14-Aug-2008 4:37pm Thanks Ali - WOW! I guess I better do something huh?? - Thank you for finding that for me! If Jaezee didn't say something I would have never paid any attention, then I would have been in BIG trouble!!! - I'm not going to stop taking these pills, so I just need to do something else for now! - I am drinking more Milk, and eating Cheese and Chicken to help this along as well. I found myself start to eat just to eat, back to my old habits. I quickly stopped myself, and I'm back to only eating small portions to satisfy my hunger, and to accomplish my small protein filled meals during the day. I am going to try my best to stay away from the scale at the gym till Wed. my 2 week mark and give update then.... Keep on treckin everyone... don't give up! |
| desperate | posted 14-Aug-2008 5:48pm Hi Everyone, I am glad to here a few of you have been hungry. These past two days I have done nothing but eat I swear. I hope this goes away. I am about half way through on my second bottle, still 5lbs of weight loss. I am going to start working out and get back on track and I think they will work. I am still concerned about the heart issues these pills can cause. There was an anonymous person up there that also mentioned people have died from diet pills and when I read about the risk to your heart I am still pretty nervous. Any one else concerned about this? I do remember two young people died from diet pills with ephedra a couple years back, so I know it is possible and it does happen. I am 27 with no health problems. Was also 120 until I had my first baby who just turned one. I am now 145 and want to get back to 120 so bad. I just don't want to risk my health. Any advice? Thanks!!! |
| AZ | posted 14-Aug-2008 6:33pm Desperate - Honestly there is a health risk with everything you eat and/or take these days. Just make sure you are healthy, talk to your Dr. if need be. But, I would say that if you feel like something in your body just isn't right, don't just ignore it, stop taking the pills and go to the Dr. GusMahler has been taking them for a while now and (he-I think) said that there hasn't been any side effects except light-headedness from lack of food intake. |
| jerry | posted 14-Aug-2008 7:14pm so how are everyone's results? my paypal order won't clear till the 19th and then they'll ship... |
| CJ | posted 15-Aug-2008 10:30am Just wanted to say hi and give everyone an update on our first day.... we both took 2 pills twice yesterday (instead of 3).. I could "feel" them working, gave me a little energy (considering I'd managed to sleep about 4 hours the night before :) ) I was thirsty all day, and hungry :( but at the same time I didn't really want to eat, so I ate small portions. DH got home from work and said he didn't really feel anything... I did notice when I went for my run.. and through the rest of the day.. that my heart would speed up easily.. and also I was hot/cold all day.. I'd get hot, then cool down and freeze for a bit then get hot again.. who knows what's up with that. Today I took 2 pills this morning again.. DH said he was gonna take 3... I did loose 2 pounds between yesterday and today.. sure it's mostly water weight, but I'm happy with it since over the past week that darn scale has really jumped up all of a sudden, so this was good to see it go back down to "normal". I'll be happy if I can be down to 160 by the end of the month (5 lbs) we shall see :)... today I'm hungry again... so far today I've had 1/2 slice of swiss cheese w/ my pills; low-fat yougart w/ Kashi granola; a South Beach Diet cereal bar and I just ate a few raw veggies... seems like a lot of food for 10:30 in the morning?? I did the eliptical for 30 mins and then did aerobics/kickboxing for 30..what do you guys think??? |
| catpower1818 | posted 15-Aug-2008 10:59am Mildly confused; I thought the proper dose for Leptitrex was 3 pills in the morning and 2 and lunch, but the bottle says 3 before each meal. No wonder I wasn't really feeling the effects of the second dose! I came to this site to ask all of you if you thought adding an extra pill would be a good idea. Guess I answered my own question! |
| catpower1818 | posted 15-Aug-2008 11:08am desperate, I've mentioned this before but I'll discuss it again: About heart issues: these pills contain stimulants. It's common sense that if you have any heart issues, you should not take any stimulants. Any doctor will tell you that. However, for an average healthy person, a slight increase in heart rate will not do any harm and is in fact good for you. These pills aren't poisonous and are no more dangerous than coffee would be. If you need to avoid caffeine, avoid Leptitrex. About the Ephedra incidents: All of the people who experienced serious side-effects from ephedra already had heart and health problems. If you're dumb enough to take these types of products when you have a sensitive heart, then you shouldn't be suprised when you get sick. Ephedra in mild doses is actually very GOOD for you, especially for those who have sinus/breathing issues. But I suppose it doesn't matter, since the US has banned the stuff. It took a long time before I could find a comparable product to ease my allergies... nothing worked like ephedra! |
| Disappointed | posted 15-Aug-2008 11:09am I have been taking the prescribed dosage for 3 weeks now and haven't had any change. I started taking 4 now in the a.m. and p.m....all this week...no change...I'm starting to think this is a joke...no weight loss and no inch loss..clothes still aren't fitting any better. Has anybody gotten to the point of asking for the guaranteed $ back? |
| AZ | posted 15-Aug-2008 11:12am I have been taking 3 pills with cheese in the morning, drinking tons of water, eating 2 small pieces of cheese before I take my lunch dose at 11:30am, eat a turkey samwich at noon on wheat bread, then go back to drinking tons of water, I do find myself getting a lil hungry about 3 or so, so I have a 100 calorie snack pack and that is good, till my small chicken dinner. - I lost 5 pounds in 1 week doing this..... as for working out. I speed walk/jog with my dog every morning for about 20 minutes, then circuit training for about 45 minutes, then 20 minutes of cardio - try to do that every day..... things seem to be working well. - Sometimes I end up going on another 20 minute walk with the dog after this work out as well, depends on if the Hubby is feeling up to walking the dog or not.... soo I definatly get my work out in - I do have to say that I feel really good taking these pills. Energy is good, not over exsessive but just right, when I work out I feel like I can go further and faster - even though I'm tiredddd :) - Well I just thought I'd share that as well. |
| AZ | posted 15-Aug-2008 11:36am Disappointed - I remember the website saying that if you didn't follow the High Protein Diet/ drink LOTS of water, exercise daily, you arne't going to lose any weight or very little. it's not a magic pill. Just a pill to help you along. - Follow everything and you should lose it with no problems. Don't over eat. Don't eat high calorie meals, eat small meals with the protein. - I know people personally who get pills that people are raving about becasue they follow the plan and they don't do anything except sit on their couch and eat Bon Bons and expect the weight to come off.... NOT SAYING THIS IS YOU Disappointed. Just sayin in general. - Try going to the gym and get a personal Trainer - They will Kick your BUTT into weight loss... I used to train.. I know.. LOL |
| deni | posted 18-Aug-2008 3:50am GOT MY PILLS! GOT MY PILLS! 1 MONTH LATER I GOT MY PILLS!!!! took my first dose - experienced the burning BUT I GOT MY PILLS!!!! I think i will weigh myself end of week. I brought two pairs of trousers that are really tight, can just about do them up but can't wear them. I didn't return them because they were nice and thought i will lose weight and wear them. They are not the size i want to be but the next size down. I have already lost 42 pounds on a low fat diet but it just stopped for over a year now and i need to lose another 42 pounds. So i am hoping this will kick start the weight loss for me. I already follow a pretty healthy diet from losing the initial 42 pounds. wish me luck. this forum is so encouraging and i hope i am one of the ones who actually lose and not the a dissapointed one! so excited - i have been reading this forum for one month waiting for mine to arrive and i just about gave up - atleast i know to order a month in advance now! |
| CJ | posted 18-Aug-2008 7:22am Deni, YAY!!!! glad to hear that you finally got them!! Hope you see some great results. I went out of town for the weekend and ate fairly well considering I had to eat what everyone else was eating (lost of seafood) but I still managed to eat healthy-ish :) Came home and I believe my scale is broken.. says I lost about 12 pounds!!! LOL.. I KNOW that's not possible over 2 days, so I'm off to buy a scale today.. but I have lost 1/2 an inch from everywhere (hips, waist, thighs, arms) since last Thursday.. so I can't complain :) :) :) Has anyone ever used Protein shots with these pills? I worry about getting enough protein in my diet, my cousin reccommended these protein shots he gets from GNC that have either 25 or 45 grams of protein and about 130 calories 0sugar in each... thinking about making a trip there today when I do my grocery shopping and picking up a few to see how they work. |
| deni | posted 18-Aug-2008 12:22pm Hi CJ - i'm curious did you get new scales? so....let us know.... |
| gusMahler | posted 18-Aug-2008 7:02pm You know, one thing that troubles me about this company is the fact that they have been stating they will be "sold out in 24 to 72 hours"...problem is, they have been stating that for months and suggest that once they are sold out, you'll need to go to ebay or a comparable site to buy it..what, they are not planning to produce anymore? Is this some "limited edition" pill?...though Leptitrex is working fine for me, it does bother me to see such lo-brow pressure tactics displayed on their website... |
| CJ | posted 19-Aug-2008 5:45am Deni-- no, we haven't gotten new scales, although the old ones appear to be working.. so I've lost about a pound.. which takes me to 4 pounds lost since last Thursday, so I can't complain too much.. of course, these are the SAME #'s I've been seeing since May, I really want to get rid of them and get below 160 LOL.. it was fun yesterday seeing #'s like 150 and 147 :).... How did your first day go?? Gus-- I will agree with you... I hate that line, I hate those "buy it now" tactics..we almost didn't buy from them because of that sales line How's everyone else doing?? This board has gotten quiet lately |
| deni | posted 19-Aug-2008 11:39am Hi CJ - my first day went ok - abit of burning but it was ok - i felt like something was happening - wasnt that strict - had an ice cream in the evening! but my meals are healthy. will it still work you think if i still have the occasional treat? i dont eat fried stuff anymore - havent done for about 2 years - ofcourse i do occasionaly have chips but that's like once every few months or so. my other query is - if you take the pill and eat before the 30 min - does it still work? i dont always know when i am going to eat and then if i wait for 30min the food gets cold. it's true gone really quiet. what's happening, are you guys still on the pills? |
| AZ | posted 19-Aug-2008 11:51am Hello, Gald you finally got your pills Deni! - I am very excited, although I don't have an actual scale in the house so I was using the one at the gym that was a little hard to tell what you actual weigh because of all the little lines, and standing up and trying to see exactly where you stand, you sometimes just can't tell... sooo my excitement comes from..... We just got the Wii Fit yesterday.. OMG! if any of you already have the Wii, for family fum or "for the kids" - get this Wii Fit. You wouldn't think that it's really going to do anything but WOW! My husband and I were doing it yesterday for over an hour... it's exhausting. Not only that, it is a lot of fun. it tells you what you currently weigh. in EXACT numbers, and your BMI - so you can also keep track. it's GREAT! - so, my numbers yesterday were 147 - BUT - it's also... very close to that TIME! - soo I usually retain about 3-5 pounds of water... ALSO - we went to the Jacuzzi last night and when I put on my suit I can tell that I wasn't bulging out of it so much, or as much as I was before... So, We will see... I'll weigh myself in another week or so, once my body is back to normal and we will see where I stand.!!! Good Luck Everyone... :) |
| Deni | posted 19-Aug-2008 3:31pm thanks Az - i will weigh in next week - keep the comments cumin cuys xx |
| Disappointed | posted 19-Aug-2008 9:48pm Thanks for the tips on protein eating before taking the pills..however I've not lost anything...still...I don't think these are for me. The company says that you should even experience better skin...HA! My skin has actually gotten worse..breakouts every day. My skin has never been so bad. My husband and I eat very well. We kicked the sugar habit 3 months ago. I hope they refund me at the end of this bottle! |
| deni | posted 20-Aug-2008 4:01am disappointed - how long have you been on them? sometimes when the body is detoxing first the skin gets rid of all teh bad stuff, hence the spots then it clears. well i'v e only been on them for 2 days and i was so excited reading all the reviews however, even though i wasnt going to weigh myself before the end of the week, i was curious as people had reported loss in two days - well i gained 2 pounds!!!! i'm so upset. why would i have gained? like disappointed i already eat healthily because of another diet i was on - yea, on the first day i had a small ice cream and yesterday i had 1/2 a muffin but then i only a snack for dinner (watermelon on the first day and prawn salad yesterday 2nd) why have i gained??? i am eating fish and salad for my lunch and poached edd with tomatoes, onions m a brown toast for breakfast - all low fat high protein. Am walking atleast 30-45mins. my measurements are the same too - so i cant say it's turned to muscle especially not in 2 days.... anyone???? |
| CJ | posted 20-Aug-2008 6:56am Dissapointed- did you do measurements when you started to see if you've lost inches? I've lost about 3-4 pounds this week on the pills (mostly water weight, i'm sure) but I've also lost about 1/2 inch from my thighs, hips, waist and arms by not changing much besides the pills and the times that I eat (now i'm eating less at each meal and eating more often). I agree with Deni about the detox making your skin worse.. last week I had worse skin then I've ever had (and I usually have a breakout or 2---or 3 every day) but after the first few days my skin got much better and now I actually have no breakouts at all which is fantastic!! I say give it till the end of the first bottle and wait it out till then (how much longer do you have?) This doesn't work for everyone... my Hubby has been taking them the same amount of time and they don't seem to be doing a thing for him.. although he's not listening to me and eating protein, so that might be why. Denni-- Keep with it...this is why it's not a good idea for a lot of people to weigh themselves every day, some people fluxuate a LOT.. I have weighted myself almost every day for several years, it keeps me on track, but I've also learned the best time of day to weigh myself :) and i don't let it bug me when I see it go up one day cause I could loose all that and then some the next day... I only let it bug me when I see the weight go up and stay up several days in a row. Have you been drinking a lot of water? I know that has helped a LOT with the detox and getting the first few pounds off... really helps flush out your system. |
| deni | posted 20-Aug-2008 8:56am hello i have been drinking water - not alot - but around 1 litre a day plus a couple of mugs of herbal tea and one mug of coffee. I will keep with it and not weigh myself again until the end of the week. surely i couldnt of put on fat in two days. YOU know how hard it is to lose it so when it goes up it hurts!!! whenever i do try a new a diet (apart from the low fat one i did where i lost 42 ilbs) everyone loses and i gain!!! it doesnt matter how much i stick to the rules, it's like my body is fighting me...i wrote to leptitrex to see if they could help. |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 11:29am I totally agree with the weight thing... I know that I myself fluxuate a lot. As Women that is what our bodies do. I know especially for me, when it's HOT, like it is here in Arizona, I hold water, when it's colder I am lighter becasue I'm not holding water. After I have done any exercise, walking, working in the house, on the yard, anything makes me hold MORE water, I can tell in my Rings! :) they get tighter and tighter... :) I think it's our bodies! they don't like us sometimes.... heheee ALSO - in regards to that Break out issue... I don't have breakouts, my husband does though... and all of the sudden I started getting breakouts! I thought the same thing..."I thought this stuff was suposed to help me, not make me worse!" but they have since gone away and I am back to being clear! sooo not to worry! Deni, try drinking more water. I go through at least 1 gallon a day! - but then again, I have always been a water drinker, so I can do it more easily then others. One other thing that I have noticed, and it can be just my imagination, but on the days that I don't time my eating 30 minutes after taking the pills, those are the days that I am more hungry then others. - Like yesterday, I didn't time my pill taking and eating and I was hungry all day, a couple days ago I did the same thing, and I was hungry all day! - I wonder if they are related or just in my head..hehee :) Anyways, Stay away from that Scale and just use clothes to tell if you have lost any... I didn't tell a difference in my bathing suit till just the other day... 1 day from 2 weeks on the pills... soo give it time! As they say.... you didn't gain the weight overnight, it's not going to be gone overnight either.... Good luck and keep the comments coming.. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one with the breakouts!!! |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 11:35am Deni, OH, also, if you have any weights, try doing that. Trainers say that if you have a choice in doing something because you only have a Certain amount of time on certain days... Weight train. the muscle burns the fat for you and does more good then walking for 30 - 45 minutes. alternate, just try to put weight training in there... it really does help. Just a thought for all of you I guess, except anony... who already is in great shape and we need her advise in working out more then mine! lol |
| deni | posted 20-Aug-2008 11:39am thanks az - i only have a couple of really really small dumbbells - hardly weights, hey!!! |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 11:45am :) - I know that for me, personally Deni, I have always gone to the gym on and off, but I can definatly feel that I am and have been building more muscle while weight training now, then I was when I wasn't taking these pills. Perhaps purchasing some 5 pound and 10 pound weights wouldn't be a bad purchase... If you are anything like me... it's... ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP ME GET THIS FAT OFF!! lol good luck and keep us informed.... Also - have you made your other purchase for your pills - 1 month in advance.. hehehee |
| CP | posted 20-Aug-2008 12:18pm This blog is really helpful. I have been on the pills for about 2 weeks and haven't lost a pound...very frustrating. I haven't been making sure to eat protein 30 min after taking the pills so I am going to try that and see if it helps... Any other ideas? |
| deni | posted 20-Aug-2008 12:18pm i got three months to start with...!!!! so if all goes well then next month - remind me x |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 12:40pm Deni - hehee - it's funny but it sucks at the same time as well! - I got mine in 3 days and to have to wait just about 1 month...that's crazy.... I talked to my Husband about it (since he deals with Customs) he said that with something like this, they will always give a hassle with because it's not FDA approved and they don't know what EVERYTHING in it is, soo it's always going to be like that unless it's stated Exactly how much of what is in the bottle/pills.... - but hopefully next shipment will be much smoother! :) |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 12:49pm CP - Drink Plenty of water, Exercise, weight train, eat small portions. Be careful not to eat as much as you were in the past, healthy meals. I know sometimes still, I find myself overeating, I'm not hungry anymore but I'll continue to eat just because either (A) the food is there, still on my plate or (B) I'll be thinking about something else, talking, watching TV, whatever the case may be, and it's just like a trance. you don't know why but you just keep eating. - I still really have to watch myself and what I eat and when and why? I always try to think about that now! I serve myself smaller portions to keep from overeating. |
| CP | posted 20-Aug-2008 12:55pm Thanks, AZ. I don't feel that I eat a lot though....and I eat pretty healthy...I probably eat around 1500 calories a day.... I don't have much to lose..maybe 10 pounds at most...could that be why it takes longer to see results? |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 1:38pm CP - Oh yes, I remember it being stated that if you only have a small amount of weight to lose like the last 10 - 15 pounds, then it will naturally take longer! - that is with ANTYHING you do though. - it sucks I know, but nevertheless, it's life. Also, on that blog above, I was mostly stating about me personally, I find myself overeating at times. I also do eat healthy, but sometimes too much food intake for me.. lol - and if it related to anyone else..... I need to lose about 20 -25 pounds. I was once at 15, but I started eating a lot... not good! :( |
| CP | posted 20-Aug-2008 1:52pm I guess I will just have to be patient..... I suppose drinking alcohol doesn't help AT ALL...LOL!!! |
| Anonymous | posted 20-Aug-2008 2:07pm I just ordered today, and after I ordered I read that paypal takes a little longer.... I am excited to see what happens when I get the pills. I need to lose about 25lbs to be back at my ideal/pre-kids weight. This blog helped me decide to order! Look forward to coming back! |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 2:09pm LOL - OMG - nooooo, useless calories! Have you ever looked up how many calories are in some of that stuff... it's Crazy!! - I know I like to have some drinks too, but I have been really trying hard to NOT have any, or at least only one to get that urge overwith/ or just to relax...:) - |
| Disappointed | posted 20-Aug-2008 3:01pm CJ-I didn't do measurements, but my clothes haven't changed..in fact I'm more bloated & everything is tighter! I actually had to go and buy noxzema pads for my face last night! I'm 35 and haven't done that in 20 years! I'm trying with these darned things and ready to give up. It has been 3 weeks now. I will continue the whole bottle and ship it right back, ready for my refund. Good luck to you all! |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 3:04pm Awwwww I'm sooo sorry to hear that Disappointed! that really sucks and I can imagine your pain! I hope that you find something that really does work for you! Good Luck! |
| Deni | posted 20-Aug-2008 3:48pm oh disappointed - i really hope i dont end up like you.But i have a horrid feeling especially i started gaining and not losing. But i will review at the end of the week. That must be so frustrating especially as so many people are having great results. I know everyone is not the same but WHY WHY WHY do we have such drastically different results ??? i thought yea we are different so i may LOSE slower than someone else but still LOSE not gain!!! Anon - yours is a small amount so it will take longer but good luck. Az, i dont think i will end up buying weights - i know myself , got to be realistic here! the 42lbs i lost prior to this (which is still off) was a low fat diet and walking. Lots of walking - which they say uses every musclein the body. i love walking and i know i will stick to it - weights i know i wont so i really hope it works without.... |
| CJ | posted 20-Aug-2008 4:08pm well.. i guess i need to drop off of this list now...you guys have been active today!!! :) I just found out I'm pregnant, so I'll have to stop taking the Leptitrex. I'll be back in a year or so... good luck everyone!! |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 4:25pm Deni, You are right, you have to do what you know about yourself and your body! - I hope you lose the weight! I can't wait till I weigh in Officially next week which will be 3 weeks! I am hoping that I have lost 7 pounds at least!!!! but we will see. If not weight loss I would like to see a difference in my clothes and the way my body looks! - we will see.... |
| AZ | posted 20-Aug-2008 4:27pm CJ - Hey, were you on Birth Control and taking these pills, or were you just not using any protection... as I stated before I have the NuvaRing, and I just hope that I don't get Prego becsaue of the St. Johns Wort in this thing...... GOOD LUCK WITH THE BABY!!! |
| Mel | posted 21-Aug-2008 12:05am Update...Hi all! I am about two weeks away from finishing my third bottle of Leptitrex. I have lost 23 pounds and several inches off my waist, abdomen, hips, thighs and arms. I am back in a size 8 jeans and a medium shirt. I still have about 20 pounds to go so I'll be ordering another shipment. My eating habits have changed drastically. I have finally kicked my carb addiction and now choose more high protein foods and veggies. I don't tend to snack during the day, but if I do it is a very little amount. I have successfully shrunk my stomach by eating normal portion sizes so I don't need a lot of food to fill me up. I have been losing approximately one pound per week. This is not as fast as I had hoped to lose the weight but I'm learning a new lifestyle and new way of eating and losing it slowly is much healthier and more likely to keep it off. Before I had always concentrated on eating as few calories as possible to try and lose weight. This did not work because I was always hungry so would end up binging at the end of the day. Now I eat about 1200 calories of high protein and veggies and I'm rarely hungry. I'm going to order two more bottles of Leptitrex. I think after two more months my new eating habits will be set and I'll be good to continue to lose weight on my own. |
| deni | posted 21-Aug-2008 4:04am Hi guys this is what lepitrex said about my weight gain in 2 days; if you note it also says that some people need 3-4 weeks - so disappointed maybe give it one more week?? u neva know.... "Most people see results in the first 2 weeks, for some it takes 3-4. The results of our pills are different for different body types. We have found that when taken properly this product works for 95% of our customers. Your body might might just be having a reaction and adjustment to the Leptitrex. Give it some more time. And remember, if it doesn't work, there is a money back guarantee." |
| deni | posted 21-Aug-2008 4:11am CJ - congratulations. how many weeks are you? you didnt fall pregnant because the pills had an adverse affect on the contraception did you? good luck. AZ - let me know how your doing. Are you hoping you have lost 7ilbs in the last week or 7lns in teh three weeks. mEL - well done . how encouraging. losinga 1lb a week is bound to stay off . slow as it may seem it came off. plus if you get a 1lb of sugar you then notice how much a 1lb is. YOu don't think the weight will come back once you stop the pills? obviously if you keep up the healthy eating it shouldnt - but the fat that turned to muscle - it won't go back again will it??? |
| CJ | posted 21-Aug-2008 4:17am Mel-- No, I was not on any form of BC...DH and I have been married for 6 years and have never used any form of BC.. the past 2 years we had started going to a fertility Dr and found that I have endometriosis and we would likely never get pregnant.. so I had convinced myself that I didn't want kids anyway and we were happier on our own... SURPRISE :) I hadn't even thought about it.. was getting ready to post on the boards yesterday that all day (yesterday morning) I was feeling light headed and queezy.. then started thinking about when I was "due" and realized it was 10 days late.. figured "Nah.. not pg, just running late this month" bought a test showed positive in like 2 seconds... took another test.. positive :) I think DH is more stunned then anything.. I still keep thinking it's a dream... but hey... I dropped another 2 pounds yesterday LOL... On a more related note... DH has decided he's going to give Leptitrex another week or so to see if they start working... I told him he needs to give them a month and he needs to start eating protein with them... but he's hard headed and not really seeing much results. we might be returning our pills and getting a refund (we ordered 4 bottles!) we'll just have to wait and see |
| deni | posted 21-Aug-2008 8:17am that's great news CJ - youre pregnant and still losing weight, i think i am going to cry xx |
| AZ | posted 21-Aug-2008 11:38am CJ- that is GREAT news... you know they say that when you are trying to get prego then you don't, but when you arne't thinking about it you will, but on the other hand, with your other conditions, it's different.... I think it's FAB that you are going to have a baby! lil money suckers, hehehe, but they are great, and always there to put a Smile on your face when you are sad, or depressed, especially when they hit about 1 or 2, they are soo funny!! nevertheless, I wish you great luck! as for the DH - men are soo hard headed.. lol - mine is the same way! - I have to get on him constantly, BUT, I have to say that he finally started eating like I do, and SURPRISE!!! he is losing MORE weight then I am!!! - sooo, if you listen, it works... moral of the story.. lol on another note Deni - I am hoping to have lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks. I do have to say that MAN O MAN!! my husband and I both feel and see our muscles becoming more defined and being tighter, and more soar (which is a good thing) then when we have taken other things. If I am gaining muscle like I think I am under this fat layer( heheh ) then I wont lose the 7 pounds but I will definatly see a difference... by next Wed, I should have lost most of this water weight I'm holding and see where I stand... as of this morning I am still at 147 - soo even though that "time" I am still down 3 pounds from when I started 2 weeks ago... not too shabby... Next week will be the REAL test! Good News! - My husband just reported to me that he has lost 7 pounds - soooo CJ you might want to tell your DH that! :) sometimes people need a little push.. if other men who are following the plan are loseing that much... maybe I can too..... |
| deni | posted 21-Aug-2008 12:35pm hi az so do you reckon it takes three weeks for the water weight to shift? i am not weighing myself until monday when it would have been one week - but im worried that i am gaining as i feel heavy and my clothes feel snug. yet i am eating chicken and salad or fish you know all healthy stuff. oh i dont know... |
| AZ | posted 21-Aug-2008 12:42pm Deni - No, when it's that "time" for me... I gain water weight for like a week and a half till a couple days after it's over then my weight goes back to normal... sorry if I confused you on that.... I don't know what to tell you about the gaining of weight, I think it really is hard. I just lose weight, starting at 150, but then again, whenever I have really worked out like I have been, I do lose it pretty quickly, how my body is.... it's just when I start eating all the junk and a lot of it, I gain.. lol - funny how that works..... but it sounds like you are eating well. that is what I am eating, Fish, chicken, veggies, a little rice (yeah I know carbs, but I need them for working out) but I also eat well, I just work out more.... I know you said you liked to walk.. have you tried putting in more time walking?? Try that for a couple days, see if that changes things? |
| deni | posted 21-Aug-2008 1:07pm YEA - been walking every day since i started 30 mins, 45 mins - sometimes two shots... maybe mine is that too - i feel abit menstrual, but since i had my coil fitted i dont really get periods so not ever sure when i am on or not!! |
| AZ | posted 21-Aug-2008 1:22pm ohhh, there ya go.. don't get down! I know one thing for myself also... when I get down or depressed.. it's soooooooooooo much harder to lose the weight then when I am in a good mood. - Try to think, it's just the "time" again, and give it a week or so and lets all hope it goes back down!!! :) |
| Mel | posted 21-Aug-2008 8:52pm Just wanted to add to mention that I did not lose even one pound in the first 4-5 weeks. I was about ready to give up and try to get my money refunded when the scale started going down (I weigh myself every morning so that I can keep accurate records). I had lost about 1-1/2" from my waist in that time, but no weight loss. I finally stopped worrying about the weight and concentrated on the inches and how my clothes fit. I am very pleased with the results :) |
| ritamay3 | posted 21-Aug-2008 11:03pm I have ordered myself 4 bottles. I am considered obese and I have over 100lbs to loose. What I'm reading from some people that most of you only have 25 or less. Which I believe will take you much longer. The more fat one has to loose, the quicker the weight loss. Also keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat, the best way to check is to go by inches, like Mel suggested. I've tried everything too, but my problem has been persistence. I think a lot of diets work, you just have to find the right one. I don't seem to have the patience it takes. It has taken me years to gain this weight, I now realize that it's foolish to think that in a month, it'll just leave. This blog is very helpful but I know that it's going to take the hard work that before I wasn't ready to do. My doctor told me this...if you think about your grandparents, they didn't eat a lot of 'junk' food or a lot of process foods. They normally ate lean meat and vegetables. not a lot of sweets. To my grandparents, to get ice cream meant it was a special occasion. Now with our society demanding everything microwaved, we have did more damage than good. When my shipment arrives, I'll take yall's advice and cut back on the sweets and white starches and eat lean protein and vegetables. I'll drink more water and do more training. I think these pills are an aid not a cure! thanks. ritamay3.blogspot.com |
| deni | posted 22-Aug-2008 4:54am az - you are so encouraging thanks. the theory on thinking yourself slim is apparently true (mind u i would be stick thin if it was as i was imagine myself slim all the time , then i look in the mirror and rememeber - hehe!!) being happy helps it releases some hormones that do something!.. mel - 4-5 weeks is so long for no change on the scales but as u said if the clothes get loser and we need smaller ones that is the important thing . it's not what the scales read but how we look at the end of the day. ritamey3 - you are absolutely right. As you have more to lose you should see results quicker. Good luck. You don't have to wait for the pills to arrive before you change your eating habits - if you weigh yourself today and follow the same diet WITHOUT THE PILLS until they arrive , then weigh yourself again before you start them -I bet you would have already started to lose. The body will lose straight away if you change your eating habits drastically -. i find it harder because i changed my eating habits 2 years ago when i started a low fat diet. The first two weeks i had lost 5 Kilos that is 10 lbs!!! my doctor was shocked - it was because it was the FIRST drastic healthy eating i had done consistently. Now 90% of what i eat is healthy so doing this diet is not doing much quickly and i am hoping the pills will just kickstart it all again so i can carry on where i stopped. |
| AZ | posted 22-Aug-2008 12:01pm Deni - I try... You know it's soo much easier to think positive, then it is to think negative! - and yes, I agree about thinking yourself thin... lol - I'd be a super model! lol but realistically - I'm not... :) - Keep me posted on what happens next week. - like Mel stated, didn't see any weight loss but saw inches, I saw 5 pounds right off the bat, but then no more yet that I can tell... but I can definatly see a change in my body. - Keep on sticking with it and doing your walking Deni - I'm really looking forward to your report next week... Ritamy3 - I have to say.. I really hate those terms (obese, overweight) you know according to the scales, I am considered Pre-Obese... I'm 5'4" and 147 pounds. I wear a size 10 US - seee they just don't make sense!!! - let's just say.... we all need to lose it, that is why we are here.. :) - I do agree though, if you only have 10 - 15 pounds to lose to get "skinny" again, then you will lose it very slowly. but if you have 50 or more pounds to lose to get "skinny" again, then it will come off much faster, till you get to that point, then you too will lose slowly. - I do agree with Deni though, start eating healthy now, it will definatly help in the weight loss battle we all face! :) Mel - thank you for sharing that, I think that is a good thing to know. |
| Ali | posted 22-Aug-2008 6:20pm AZ- I'm 5'4, wear a size 10 and weigh 150 lbs... so we're pretty close! I want to get back to 130, which is what I weighed a little over a year ago. |
| AZ | posted 22-Aug-2008 6:29pm New York Girl - to be quite Honest with you... the only "natural" weight loss comes from proper diet and exercise, no pills, shakes, powders... in either case, Good luck to you! Ali, yeah, we are VERY close, I actually started at 150 too so.... I'm really praying that I can lose much more weight, I want to get to about 120 I think will be good. I have 2 HUGE clear plastic bins of clothes that I can't wear becasue I'm too fat! I refused to ever throw those away becsaue " I'll get back into them" sooo that is my motivation... that and the fact that I haven't bought any new clothes, I have been hanging on to my "fat clothes" which is like 1 pair of pants and 1 pair of shorts for a while now... and I'm tired of looking at all my clothes that are soo cute that I just can't wear!! and it sucks...!!! sooo LETS ALL LOSE IT!!! lol ALI - also, keep me posted on how you are doing with the weight loss, I'm curious how we both will lose the weight.. since we are very close it's an easy comparison..... :) thanks. |
| ritamay3 | posted 22-Aug-2008 8:28pm It seems hard to cut out thoz sweets. I have type 2 diabetes and my entire family on both sides has it 2. I know what to do but since I'm between jobs right now, it's hard to really eat healthy the way I want to. And yes, if your bmi is over 34 and your 100 lbs or more overweight , then u are obese. |
| AZ | posted 25-Aug-2008 11:14am UPDATE: 2 3/4 weeks - I am back down to 145 this morning. yeah!!! still down 5 pounds, hoping to be 2 more by Wed, but I doubt it! lol - I feel like my stomach is getting flatter, and it seems like I am slimming down on my sides, on my upper 1/2 of my body. I seem to be smaller, or again, since I'm not measuring... just my imagination.. :) I'll try on my "tight" jeans on wed to see where I stand with that... Hopefully they are a tad bit manageable! |
| Anonymous | posted 25-Aug-2008 1:11pm well done Az. 7 days today since i started - the initial 2lbs i put on has gone plus 1 lb. so really just 1 ilb.i did measure but i m not sure if i measured in the exact same spot again - if i did - i have lost 1.5cm in the thigh, put on .5 cm on the belly and lost 0.5 on the waist. hmm - i think i didnt measure in the exact same bits ?? my clothes still fit the same but i feel like my tummy has flattened a bit but according to the tape measure it hasnt. i am confused so i will wait another week. i am not 100% strict - i do have a small treat everyday worth around 150 cals - but i balance it - i only eat one dinner - the other two meals are light breakfast types. i will try on my smaller clothes when i lose a bit more weight!!! |
| Deni | posted 25-Aug-2008 1:12pm hi that was me just above..... |
| AZ | posted 25-Aug-2008 1:18pm Oh Deni - that is good, I'm glad you are losing some! it's a bit unsetteling when you don't lose soo that is good. About the Measuring.. lol - that is why I don't measure.... I can NEVER seem to measure in the same spot again. :) keep going... and I don't think a small treat will hurt. Every now and again I'll treat myself as well. Last night I just had some ice cream which I haven't had in a long time! - I tried on my low cut jeans just because I had to find out if I really did lose some of the belly weight and I did.... I don't have much of an overlap anymore, it's smoothe, sill have a pooch, but it's not overhanging my low rise jeans.. hehehehe :) yeah!!! still tight around the thighs and butt, which are my problem spots. But, it's been almost 3 weeks and I'm down, soo I am happy!!!! |
| AZ | posted 25-Aug-2008 2:40pm Quick Tip - If you want a Quick Protein snack that is YUMMY!!! - Beef Jerkey! and not the jerkey stick... those are soo greasy! - I just started eating the Jack Daniels Beef Jerkey - 15grams of Protein! quick easy snack when you just want something small..... just thought I'd share that! :) |
| Anonymous | posted 25-Aug-2008 9:51pm AZ HOW MUCH HAVE U LOST? |
| deni | posted 26-Aug-2008 6:31am yea - beef jerky is great i snack on that anyway!!! 3 weeks and a noticable difference is great AZ.. |
| AZ | posted 26-Aug-2008 12:09pm I have lost 5 pounds... From what I saw on the Scale at the gym it looked like I started at exactly 150 pounds... as of this morning I weighed 145.5 pounds... I lost .2 pounds from yesterday to today...sooo as long as it keeps coming off I am HAPPY!!!!! - my stomach is really getting flatter, sooo I am soo happy about that!..... |
| deni | posted 26-Aug-2008 12:31pm az - that is great. the gym is really working for you. i am keeping up with the walking, i know it takes longer but its still some form of exercise. plus i do these stomach things where i suck it in and hold, i do this throughout the day and the doctor says it really helps the stomach muscles. my down fall is my treat - i never used to fancy sweet stuff like this before but hopefully by only eating only one dinner and the rest light snacks it compensates. ur 5 lbs is in 3 weeks right? |
| AZ | posted 26-Aug-2008 1:03pm :) Yes Deni, that is correct... Also, for the sweet treats, have you tried or thought of the 100 calorie snack packs, or a 90 Calorie chocolate pudding..... if you do that you will be fine... your body needs the calories to burn more, just not too much!!! so don't under do it either.... Some days I eat more then others, but in the end it all equals out somehow!... ALSO - I have to admit, since I got the Wii Fit, I have been doing more of that then going to the actual gym... since I am actually paying for the Gym Monthly, I think I need to go back to doing that more.. :) it would make sence!!! lol - Keep up with the Walking, like you said, I know it works just takes longer, and perhaps that is why you have been able to keep that off is becasue of the walking... soo just keep on going! :) |
| Deni | posted 26-Aug-2008 3:11pm az; u shud cancel the gym - save money and do your wii fit and still keep fit! then you can buy clothes with the money you save from the gym. There u go - problem solved. he he! i used get those low cal deserts alot - i shud stock up again... what do you think about taking the pills 3 x a day? do you think it will work beta or have no more effect? i remember someone above said they were going to do that but everyone else has gone quiet!!! |
| AZ | posted 26-Aug-2008 3:25pm Yeah I saw that too, but no more other feedback! - Honestly, I thought about that as well... I don't want to waist the pills if it isn't going to do anymore work then it's doing, but if you lose fasterrrrrrr .. hummmmm lol - I think if I stop losing I will do that, for now, I'm still losing slowly which is the way to go, so I'll stick with the 2 times a day. As for the gym... hehehee - funny... naa I should really start hitting the gym more, I can work much more of my body there and plus they have these free Fitness Bootcamps.. man they kick your BUTT, but it's fun, and they makes jokes and stuff... - good Suggestion though.. :) |
| EMM | posted 26-Aug-2008 4:57pm So it is very encouraging to hear that everyone seems to be losing weight. I just started the pills Sunday. I am trying to lose 25lbs by December cause my best friend is getting married and I don't want to be a chubby Maid of Honor. My sister is getting married in January, so I would really like to have it all gone by then. I used to be very healthy and then I had twins and lost control after I had them. You would think that chasing tw of them would keep me in shape. I hope to report some positive feedback very soon.:) |
| AZ | posted 26-Aug-2008 6:34pm WOW EMM - Twins - well, I can totally understand how it gets away from you after having a baby, I was also always thin before my daughter, now I can't seem to lose it and she is 8 - lol - well, I lost it once when I was with a Trainer for 6 months, then a bad car accident, and I'm back to square 1... so I know it can be done... just work hard, eat healthy, small amounts... these pills sure do help because you are not all that Hungry to begin with..... GOOD LUCK and keep us posted on your progress!!! |
| Mel | posted 26-Aug-2008 9:07pm So far I've lost a total of 24 pounds. What sucks now is that I got poison ivy. I'm really allergic to poison ivy and it tends to really blow up on me. It's all over my face! I had to go to the dr. and she put me on prednisone for two weeks. I'm scared to death it's going to make me gain back the weight I've worked so hard to lose! I've been on it for two days now and I can already see a difference in my stomach. It looks so bloated! I don't even have the nerve to take a measurement or get on the scale. I'm so pissed...I don't even know how I got the poison ivy. The only thing I can figure is that I got it off of the dog's fur after she came in from the woods :( I get put on prednisone whenever I get stung by a bee or wasp for the same reason. Always makes me gain about 10-15 pounds :( |
| Ali | posted 26-Aug-2008 11:37pm Mel- don't get discouraged... it's not your fault that you have allergies! did you lose the 24 pounds while on leptitrex? EMM- I'm trying to lose weight for weddings too! Well, of course my main reason is to be healthy, but the weddings are a good motivator. My sister's wedding is in October and I'm a bridesmaid. My wedding is in May. Even though I have only lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks while using leptitrex, I can definitely tell a difference in the way my clothes feel. I went wedding dress shopping before taking the pills and picked out my top 3 choices, but the samples that they had to try on were really hard to zip. A couple weeks later I went back to try on the same 3 dresses again and they fit better! AZ- I use wii fit too! I put my elliptical in front of the TV so I can do the wii running on it. I also like using weights while doing the step aerobics. I find myself skipping over most of the yoga. |
| deni | posted 27-Aug-2008 3:47am Mel - does the prednisone make you gain weight? does it have a side effect? dont weigh yourself until u come of them and then give yourself a week to read ajust. It wont be fat you are gaining but water ie the bloatiness - so it should come of just as quick. u have done so well and maybe the leptritex will help you keep it off this time. mel how long did it take to lose ur 24 lbs? Emm - good luck. i think ur goal is realistic, it is doable if the pills work with u and if they dont it is still achievable with diet and exercise. |
| Mel | posted 27-Aug-2008 7:36am I've been on Leptitrex since May and just ordered my second shipment of 3 bottles...should arrive in the next two days or so. I've lost quite a lot of inches on Leptitrex and 24 pounds and am now quite loose again in my size 8 jeans (I was up to a very tight size 12). A lot of my weight gain before was from Prednisone. Weight gain is a nasty side effect from the medication. Last time I was on it for a full month, though. I did step on the scale this morning and I'm up 2.5 pounds in two days :( When I first started Leptitrex it took 4-5 weeks before I saw the scale budge even one pound--although I did lose inches during this time. |
| deni | posted 27-Aug-2008 8:19am mel - i'm sure it is water. maybe that is the side effect - water retention? maybe tablets that eliminate excess water will help during this time. it is encouraging to hear that even though you didnt lsoe weight on the scale the inches fell off. 4-5 weeks is a lot of patience. well done for sticking with it. |
| EMM | posted 27-Aug-2008 10:50am Az- Thanks I know it can be done too. I did it once before, before I had kids, but it seems that my body wants to do it different this time. Ali- I am ultimately trying to get back in shape too. I have always struggled with my weight. I was always 15-25lbs heavy in highschool. I lost all of it about a year after I graduated (which has been a while) and kept it off for 3-4 years. I was really good all during my pregnancy, but about six weeks after I had the kids I started gaining and got really heavy. Since then I have lost about 40lbs but have plateaud with about 25lbs to go I had lost 10lbs more but put it right back on. I eat fairly healthy (for the most part):) Good luck losing the weight for your weddings. Deni- Thanks for the good word. I think it is doable too. Mel- I hope that you are able to get off the medicine soon. That can be so frustrating to be doing a great job lossing weight, and then put some of it back on. I hope that you start feeling better soon. |
| AZ | posted 27-Aug-2008 11:25am Official 3 week mark - I have to say that I messed everything up last night, I had like 4 or 5 beers... It was just a bad day for me alltogether. :( - but I'm feeling better now, Yes, I'm back up to 146.2 - I'm up .7 pounds from yesterday, not even 1 pound but I'm ok... Back on the Wii Fit and the Gym... Hope to report better news soon. Ali - you should really do the Yoga, it really helps your core! - also, Hula Hoop. We (hubby and I) have unlocked the Mega Hoop, I think it's called, and the 10 minute one.... OMG - I do that at least once a day... it REALLY WORKS!!! I'm telling you, if you want to build those core muscles, the hula hoop on the Wii Fit really pushes you to get as many rounds as you can and HURTS! but a good hurt... :) - I think that weights on the Step would be good, I have the 2nd step one unlocked but it's at the point where it's too easy. I used to take Step classes so I'm used to all these moves, but it's fun! Mel - I'm sooo sorry to hear about what you are going through, that really sucks! |
| Jojo | posted 27-Aug-2008 1:31pm I'ven been taking Leptritrex for over a week, and have not seen any results, I try to eat protein for the meals, also I am always hungry it didn't eliminate that. any suggestions? also scale says Im up 3 lbs. |
| EMM | posted 27-Aug-2008 1:47pm Jojo- I have noticed that I seem hungrier too. I know that when I eat breakfast that I seem that way. I haven't figured out how to stop that. My scale hasn't gone up, but I am also drinking a ton of water/crystal light. I don't like water so I try to drink an occasional one with crystal light to break up the monotony. |
| AZ | posted 27-Aug-2008 2:09pm I know that they tell you specifically that you need to drink a ton of water in able to lose the weight that they say you will or are suposed to. The Protein is good, just make sure you drink a TON of water and get your exercise in. I have days where I am hungrier then others, but for the most part, I'm not hungry at all. Hope things work out for you Jojo! |
| Deni | posted 27-Aug-2008 2:46pm Jojo - i also gained 2lbs and mine was in 2 days!!! after my first week i had lost that 2lbs and then lost 1 lb more. my clothes still feel the same. this is the middle of my second week and i don't feel like it will get a lot better, but then i read other people's reviews like Az and Mel and think - it may still work, look at Mel - it took 4-5 weeks before she had any change at all. i asked leptritex why had gained and this is what they said; "Most people see results in the first 2 weeks, for some it takes 3-4. The results of our pills are different for different body types. We have found that when taken properly this product works for 95% of our customers. Your body might might just be having a reaction and adjustment to the Leptitrex. Give it some more time. And remember, if it doesn't work, there is a money back guarantee." obviously we want it to work so we dont get a refund. |
| Deni | posted 27-Aug-2008 3:00pm Mel - did you do a lot of exercise to lose the weight or was it more with the diet/ pills? |
| Jojo | posted 27-Aug-2008 3:24pm I usually drink about 1/2 gallon of water, I may have to increase it because my body is used to it, I'll try that first and kick up my cardio. I tried so many products and nothings worked this was my last chance to see the results I wanted, I lost 10 lbs on a 1200 calorie diet and exercise in Jan, and have been up and down with a few, Ive been able to keep that off, but nothing more. I'll give it a few more weeks. |
| AZ | posted 27-Aug-2008 5:55pm Jojo, try to increase your water intake, I drink 1 gallon of water a day, at least! I hope that things start changing for you! I know it sucks when things don't work and you feel totally let down. Keep your spirits up, and think " this is going to work" keep positive, it really helps.... Good Luck again! |
| Mel | posted 27-Aug-2008 9:55pm Deni - I do not do anything more than housework and running the kids...working in the yard every now and again. I hate to sweat! I have been trying to stick to a 1200 calorie diet....lots of protein and water and concentrating on what a normal portion size is. I have started living by the motto, "I eat to keep my body going, not to keep my body growing!" Leptitrex has helped me to realize what real portion sizes are. The appetite suppressant in the pills has helped to successfully shrink my stomach so that I only need a true portion size to fill me up, thus eating fewer calories. If those calories are loaded with protein then I'm doing double duty to build the lean muscle which will work to burn the fat. Seemed to be working till I had to start taking the prednisone. The poison ivy has almost gone away. I think I'm going to google it and see about just stopping the medication early. I'm supposed to take it for two weeks...it's strict schedule of 3 pills for 5 days then 2 for 5 days then 1 for 4 days. That part makes me a little leary about stopping it, like you have to be weaned off it or something. Anyway, I'll look it up first and see, cause I've only been on it for the first 3 days. I don't want to have some kind of bigger problem to deal with. If I can't stop it I guess I'll see about adding some water pills into my daily regimen :)...maybe that will help. |
| Ali | posted 28-Aug-2008 12:26am I find that drinking more water while using Leptitrex is a lot easier than when I wasn't taking the pills. If I don't drink at LEAST the recommended amount of water I get sooooo thirsty. Now I carry a stash of water bottles in my big purse :P AZ- I'll get into the yoga again. I've had the wii fit since it first came out so everything is unlocked, so I should really make use of all of the exercises. I love super hula hoop too! You're right about it really working those core muscles! You can't help but look completely ridiculous while doing it, but that's just part of the fun! I know how you feel about the step aerobics. The routine doesn't ever change so it gets too easy... kind of like the boxing. I like doing the free step while watching tv. Too bad the balance board isn't higher off the ground. |
| deni | posted 28-Aug-2008 4:07am mel - well that is good - i know you can not dispute exercise but as it doesn't solely rely on gym or hard graft exercise then hopefully the lots of walking i do, capped with 3 kids, running a business, doing everything at home will be ok. dont stop ur medication as u said you dont want to end with a bigger problem. my appetite has got smaller - i do feel like eating every few hours but a snack doe it - i cant eat a big plate of food. for example scrambled egg on its own fills me up or just 1 breast of chicken with nothing else! i have been itching like crazy on my chest - i mean non stop at night time. i got a bit of heat rash a month ago but the there is no heat now (were in the uk!!!), yet the rash is realy flared up - does anyone know if the pills have a reaction like that or maybe its coincedence?! i dont drink enuf water - it just doesnt enter my head and i dont feel thirsty. i know more water will help but i kinda remember at the end of the day i havent had enuf! |
| AZ | posted 28-Aug-2008 12:14pm Ali- Have you tried to place a board or box under the balance board. you can do that as long as it's stable and level. You know at first I was like I hate this stupid Yoga too, but My husband and I are sooo competitive we try to beat each other constantly on all of the events. Sooo that alone keeps both of us going. Now I love the Yoga, I find it relaxing, while also working my core... I hate the push-ups into the 1 armed up (forgot what they called that) but it SUCKS! lol - Try doing that Mega Hula Hoop 1 or 2 times a day.. OMG.. I did it 3 times one day and my abs hurt sooooooooooo badly it wasn't funny. :( - Mel - I like your New Modo.. I totally agree.. Also a good Modo is " Eat for your body not for your mouth" People eat becasue it taste good, not because your body needs certain things in it to survive. It's hard sometimes with all those goodies out there, but Disapline! I always think, " if I have this much, how long is that going to take me to work off? Is it really worth it? are there other alternatives?" that is my thought process when I think of eating, drinking junk.... Except like when I have just really really bad days like the other day... I need to relax with some Alchie! :) In any case.. Since I haven't been going to the gym latley, or doing Wii Fit as much as I was, I'm not losing anymore weight... so, today!!! BACK TO THE GYM!!!! |
| Jaezee | posted 29-Aug-2008 5:55am Hello all, it's been a while :) Unfortunately I'm gonna have to jump pff the Leptitrex band wagon. Weeks ago I brought up the issue of the St.John's Wort and it's affects on the birth control pill. I wen't to my doctor and she advised me to use a back up method of birth control or stop taking the pills altogether since the bottle doesn't list the quantity of the St. John's. I opted for the latter. Can't afford to mess with my pill! Espicially sincr my results were not as mind-blowing as the website advertised. I workout for an hour a day and eat well 90% of the time. I have lost 5lbs but that was probally water. Anyhoo, I haven't given up on my weightloss journey. With the help of my doctor, I actually stumbled upon something amazing on the market. I'm gonna purchase the product on the weekend, give it 2 weeks with 100% effort and get back to you guys with the results...good or bad! Good luck to you all and I'll be in touch :) |
| Deni | posted 29-Aug-2008 2:59pm hi Jaezee - good luck to you. what did you come across i would like to look it up especially as your doctor recommended it? waiting in anticipation for your results. |
| Ali | posted 29-Aug-2008 7:31pm Jaezee, I guess I should stop taking Leptitrex as well.... especially if that's what your doctor recommends. It's just too risky. I might just finish this bottle first. Keep us updated on your progress! |
| deni | posted 1-Sep-2008 3:46am i am so disappointed. today is the end of week two - even though last week i gained 2 lbs then lost it and 1 more lb, today the scales show i have GAINED 5 LBS from my original start weight. i am confused - i don't want to carry on gaining. i can accept no change to start with but not gain. i am eating as healthy as i can and doing my walking - the only major change is taking these pills. when i asked leptritex they said it is the body adjusting - noone elses adjusts this way. i know there is a money back guarentee but how am i supposed to lsoe the extra weight gained with these pills - already losing weight is an issue? also i have started fasting today (religios reasons). no water or food from sunrise - sunset. this is apx 16 hours. i know teh body will get confused as i will now eat at night and nothing during the day, this i am scared will make me gain more weight. mot sure what to do? |
| EMM | posted 2-Sep-2008 12:37pm Has anyone had any problems with headaches while on letritex? Everyday I get one at about 12:00 and I have a hard tiem gettign rid of it. I quit taking the pills and I don't get headaches. Just curious if anyone else has hd similar syptoms? |
| AZ | posted 2-Sep-2008 1:26pm Deni, WOW, I'm soo sorry to hear that. Unfortunatly I don't have any advise. I wish I did. I haven't lost much weight myself. I lost the 5 pounds, then I have been going up and down now between 145 and 147.... I don't know if it's becasue of the heat and me holding water weight while it's hot. or what is going on. NEvertheless, I can still see a difference in my upper body. I am due to take my evaluation with my gym this week which will be 4 weeks on the pills. I'm curious if my body fat % has stayed the same up or down. I'll let you all know once I find out. Emm, I'm sorry, I haven't had any headaches with the pills, nor has my husband. Ali,so, does that mean you are going to stop taking the pills as well.??? I'm personally just hoping that these pills end up really working. I'm going to be upset if I have gained body fat rather then losing it!.... update to come... |
| Deni | posted 2-Sep-2008 2:16pm please let us know AZ. If you have noticed none of the people at the begining are on this site anymore - i would imagine they all stopped taking the pills too? mel seemed to have done well but hers took 4-5 weeks to kick in, however she did say she lost inches in those 4-5 weeks - none of that happening with me!! curious about jaezees new find - let us know!!! |
| AZ | posted 2-Sep-2008 5:14pm I'm interested as well... there was also a Noticable difference in an Anony writer who worked out alot. She said that she only lost like 7 or 8 pounds in total but there was a Great change in her body. Sooo, we'll see what happens with me. I have 2 more bottles and I'm seeing some difference so I'll continue to take them. Yes, I have noticed that alot of people have dropped off this site as well, I wonder if they just got too busy, stopped writing, or if they actually stopped taking these pills as well. huh! who knows. - Hope things get better for you Deni... If you don't start losing weight and continue gaining then I'd get off the pills... you don't want to put on anymore weight, like you stated, it's difficult as is to lose it, you don't want anymore to lose. |
| Ali | posted 2-Sep-2008 7:02pm AZ- like you, my weight has been fluctuating (usually between 150-152).... and I weigh myself at the same time everyday. I'm going to finish this first bottle and see where I'm at. I'm really tempted to try something else, especially because Leptitrex inactivates my birth control pill. It just makes me nervous. Better safe than sorry! |
| AZ | posted 2-Sep-2008 7:50pm I hear ya Ali - I've personally gotten preggo 2 times on the stupid pill, so right now the Nuva ring has been working well. No scares or anything with these pills yet. After I get the Fat Content of my body....( which I'm very interested since I can see some difference in my stomach) Hopefully it's good news. I'll post my results.. Hopefully the fat hasn't just misplaced itself.. LOL |
| AZ | posted 3-Sep-2008 11:37am Wed. Official Weigh in. 4 weeks.... I'm back to 145.1 - lets hope that I don't keep going up and down and I can actually keep this going lower... :) yeah! |

| muffintop | posted 4-Sep-2008 12:11am Hello~all..I've been on this pill for almost 2 months,finishing 1 2/3 bottle. This product has changed my appetite a lot. I used to be an emotional eater, craving enormous portion in a short period when feeling anxious. I didn't consider carb the crucial fact building my pounds, so I didn't control carb intake at all. Not until taking this pill that I start reminding myself a 3S spell, small portion, sufficient protein, and slowly munching, during every meal. To be honest, my appetite was out of control couple weeks ago, I thought it was the hormonal changing before period's coming. And I also experienced once or twice severe headache. It was the efficient result that kept me sticking to this product. I don't scale myself, but I can see the changes in the mirror. I don't exercise, but the pill works pretty well for dieting alone. I eat swiss cheese, multigrain crackers, tofu, soy yogurt, soy milk, and peanut everyday since I don't get a kichen in my dorm for preparing real meal. I have one bottle left, but I've ordered 4 more already because I'm going back to my country for a while where leptitrex's not delivered. I'll have them come along with my luggages, and they're gonna be my last order. The reason I'm here is to encourage those who have tried so many other ways to losing weight but failed. Give Leptitrex a shot. I know being chubby have led so many bad things happened. BTW, watching Hollywood celebrities' bodies inspires a lot; everybody works very hard keeping in shape. |
| Mel | posted 4-Sep-2008 7:16am Update: I had gained five pounds on Prednisone (for the poison ivy). I still have four more days left on the prescription. In the last two days I have managed to lose four pounds of it! How? By increasing my protein GREATLY. I did some more research about the protein needs. Do you really know how much protein you should be eating per day? Multiply your weight by .37 (for sedentary) and thats the minimum amount of protein you should be eating per day. I've been drinking a protein shake in the middle of the day which provides 36g of protein...over half of what I need per day. By the time I concentrate on eating my other protein rich foods throughout the day I've consumed approximately 80-100g of protein! It really speeds up the weight loss and controls your appetite. I only ate 1100 calories yesterday but felt like I ate a Thanksgiving meal by the end of the day! Oh, I also watch the fat! The Barilla pasta Plus is excellent. You get pasta packed with protein. I mix it with tuna salad and few cherry tomatoes for about 21g of protein. Cottage cheese is great too...13g per serving...I have that as a side dish with dinner instead of a starch. I wish I had realized this from the beginning of my Leptitrex journey. I was eating protein, but not even what my minimum daily requirements were...I didn't even know what they were. I'll be interested to see how this continues with the highly increased protein intake. I had been losing about 1 pound per week. Would love to see 3-4 pounds per week. We'll see... :) |
| deni | posted 4-Sep-2008 11:51am az - good on you girl. what was the fat measurement? mel - what fantastic information!!! so you multiply your weight in pounds by.37 - and this speeds up the weight loss? you clever woman - they really should supply some of this info at leptritex i know i don't eat my minimum and i don't drink i enuf water either - i just don't think about it. I have started to drink some chinese diet tea and am going to the toilet a bit better now that helps with water retention. I lost 3 of the 5 lbs i gained, i'm to scared to weigh myself now. i don't feel lighter i feel heavy and my clothes vary - one day lose next day fitted! i can't get rid of this desire to eat something sweet; i am sticking to low fat , low cal puddings tho!!! |
| Anonymous | posted 4-Sep-2008 12:35pm Deni - I haven't done that Fat measurement yet... I need to make an appointment with the gym.. :) I'm slackin... but I'll get it done... Mel - LOVE that new info. I'm going to give it a try, fluxuating is driving me crazy! I want to lose some real weight, not play around here.. sooo I'm going to try that and take Protein Shakes and bars, whatever I can find.... I drink a TON of water every day so I'm not worried about that part, but I know I'm not getting enough protein if that is the case!! lol - Hope this works! |
| AZ | posted 4-Sep-2008 12:35pm that was me above!! :) |
| MsSerenity | posted 4-Sep-2008 5:15pm My wedding is next year and i hope to lose 25lbs!! i just started taking Leptitrex for 2 days now and hopefully it works..will update later ;) |
| deesperate | posted 4-Sep-2008 5:33pm Hi everyone, I have been so busy,haven't been on in awhile. After reading some reviews it seems like it's 50/50 with results. As for me, I just finished my second bottle and I am either 145 or 147 every day, no more weight loss in this past month. I think I am going to take the advise of more protein and get my butt working out to see if this helps. I am in a wedding coming up and I was really hoping to have lost some weight. |
| LM | posted 5-Sep-2008 12:58am I started taking them today and my stomach and chest were burning but I see quite a few people got the same effects so I am at ease now.. I also felt VERY nauseated after taking them I keppt myself from throwing up. Has anyone taken this and alli at the same time? |
| deni | posted 5-Sep-2008 3:40am LM - if i am not mistaken Alli stops the body from absorbing up to 30% fat or so - i thought of combining the two but then i thought maybe they would counter act each other - because protein foods have high fat content and if the alli stops your body taking this in then maybe you won't be getting enuf protein for the pills to work? just a thought. i took xenical which is almost the same as Alli but prescribed by the doctor along with a very low fat diet and i did lose weight. it just stopped though because my body got used to the healthy food and adjusted so the doctor said there was no point taking it anymore. i gained only 3-4 lbs and that was because i started eating sweet stuff!this is why i am trying these pills now - but so far 3 weeks and nothing amazing - have gone up in weight and come back to where i started so far ! |
| BB | posted 5-Sep-2008 2:24pm I have been taking them for about a month and have lost about 5 lbs, I feel alot better but I feel like I am stuck - I do only take 2 pills before breakfast and 2 before lunch due to the burning in my stomach after taking them - I guess I should try taking 3. I do workout pretty regular - just waiting on the results. What is the best diet plan to follow?? |
| LM | posted 5-Sep-2008 2:34pm Thanks so much deni... I am actually taking the mexican version of alli which is redustat.. twice the strenght.. I have lost 27 lbs in 9 weeks eating foods from the low glicemic index and working out average about 2 times per day but I strated taking redustat about 2 weeks ago... I took the leptitrex again this am and just now about to go eat lunch and I am still feeling nauseated and burning sensation.. ugggg it feels like bad bad heartburn! anyhow hope to see results but if I am taking redustat as well I may not know which one is working.. perhaps I will just take leptitrex for now and see the results! Thanks again this website really does help :) |
| Deni | posted 5-Sep-2008 3:05pm LM - 27 lbs in 9 weeks is fantastic - good girl - what did your diet consist off? twice the strength - doesn't that may you go to the toilet every 5 mins?!!! |
| LM | posted 5-Sep-2008 5:31pm hahaha no I have a hard time going to toilet normally so this works perfectly lol example meal for me cardio workout on empty stomach before breakfast breakfast-egg whites lunch-lean meat and veggie snack-blueberries dinner-lean meat and veggie about a gallon of water a day with lots of green tea and I get another workout before dinner.. strenght and cardio |
| Deni | posted 6-Sep-2008 5:00am LM - i know straight off i won't do that exercise - but the diet side is not that different to what i eat. I also drink green and herbal teas, not enuf water tho! I do think that eating these foods is the key to losing weight with or without pills!!! i eat eggs too but the whole egg not just the white. i prefer the yolk. do you think this has an adverse effect? blueberries - yep love em, infact i like most fruits and salad and veg - so lucky there. you were so well on your diet alone - why did you feel the need for pills - did it stop? they say that when it stops you should adjust what you eat slightly because the body gets used to it. Good luck. how effective is redustat supposed to be? |
| LM | posted 6-Sep-2008 11:36am exercise is hard and actually i been in this plan for a while now so my body is getting used to the exercise and in a way I almost crave it on weekends lol I think the carton egg whites have a whole lot of less calories and no fat.. i think one serving of egg whte is 25 cals so I get 3 servings, dash of salt, I hate the no color to it so I add fat free shredded cheese and mix it when cooking once is done it looks yellowish and white like regular scramble eggs lol and I add some chunky salsa and it taste yummy :) all that for about 130 cals give or take :) and NO FAT blueberries I really do not like but I moist them and add a teaspoon of splenda and I eat them like that I do like them :) plain I just dont lol the weight has not stop I haven;t stall it had been two years I ad not seen my period and this diet and working out have showed her the light.. I hate it but it makes me feel like my hormones are working fine now so is good ina way lol... The reason why I wanted to give the pills a go, I have a photoshoot the day after thanksgiving and it will be a "bridal trash the dress" I have long ways to go to fit into my wedding dress so I rather use mine and not buy one as I want that asa gift for my 10 year anniversary and it will make it more special being my own dress instead of buying one form craiglist so I just want to speed things up.. but I know if I just continue without the pills I will still loose.. just maybe slower.. I dunno I will find out next week as I weighed myself yesteday and will weigh myself next friday! redustat works really well.. if you happen to eat smething a bit greasier than normal, you take it and well it all goes down when you flush the toilet... I have a lot of family members who have lost just being on that pill no diet and no workout.. I want to do this the right way by dieting and working out and honestly my diet at this point does not feel lik a diet it almost feels like a way of life.. I haven;t taste a hamburger since July 3rd, or pizza, or ice cream and honestly I am not craving it contantly.. maybe every few days I think about oh that could taste good.. but not as bad as the beginning lol off my soap :) |
| Deni | posted 6-Sep-2008 3:13pm LM - egg whites in a box? do you think they do that here the UK - how easy . will look for that next time. My eating regime doesn't feel like a diet anymore either - it is a way of life and that they say is how it is meant to be. I do still have a treat if i'm having a meal with my family for a special occasion - but i still chose my meals carefully. I hadn't had a burger for ages , i mean ages can't remember when - and today i had one - i only managed 1/2 of it and feel so guilty that i am not eating dinner - just fruit later on. I love walking and will fit that into my day atleast 5 times a week - min 30 mins - 1 hour, all other exercise is just short term. I just do not have the time - i have three small kids, run a buisness and a home - if i am lucky i get 2 hrs to my self a day - and honestly i do not feel like doing exercise! x Redustat sounds like the xenical i was on - it doesnt tolerate greasy fat food - i think xenical was a weaker dosage as it was prescribed by my doctor. however when you improve your diet so much as i did it stops working because there is not much fat left in the food you in eat!!! trashing your wedding dress!! why woman why! i thought you would do that if you were a divorced not happily married . hehe |
| Chris | posted 6-Sep-2008 5:02pm hi everyone! I can't seem to get in touch with anyone on this.. I bought my leptitrex off ebay, but it came in a grey and red bottle. Is this a scam bottle?? I can't find any pictures of the bottle on information online and I want to know if it's the real leptitrex or not, since if it isn't I don't want to open it and then lose the chance at returning it. Please help! Thank you so much! I am so frustrated at having the pills here but not being able to start my diet yet :( |
| jerry | posted 7-Sep-2008 1:53pm the picture of the bottle is at the top of this discussion, its orange and grey with sort of a person on it. |
| jerry | posted 7-Sep-2008 1:56pm and i would like to ask everyone what kind of results they're seeing and how long they've been on the pill |
| Chris | posted 7-Sep-2008 3:47pm I actually spoke to a customer service representative at Leptitrex and they told me that the new bottle is red and grey.. so all good. Thanks anyway! |
| LM | posted 7-Sep-2008 7:34pm Glad to hear you got a good bottle Chris! I hope you find those eggs Deni :) they are very helpful in hectic mornings, as I too have 3 little ones.. all boys as is why i will not need my wedding dress lol.. so I am trashing it getting one last set of pics out of it before I give it away for free to someone.. but I figure I can be careless now as is not that valuable to me anyways.. it will be for my 10th year anniversary and thank Goodness I am happily married :D yeah this pills when eating healthy is useless to take so sounds like xenical to me. I made myself some bbque lean snadwich and well I feel guilty too eventough I made it healthy lol have a great week everyone and Good luck! |
| Nikki | posted 7-Sep-2008 10:08pm I just started Leptitrex today. I started out by taking only 2 capsules 2 x day this weekend to see how it would affect me. The first dose I experienced a headache and took 2 iboprophen, the second dose I was fine. I just turned 50 and had a heck of a time with the weight gain in my 40s so I'm hoping Leptritrex will help get my body back. I also was concerned I got a bogus batch of Leptritrex since my bottle was orange and grey, not the one on the website. Glad to know the bottle design changed and I have the correct supplement. As for the stomach burning--I would bet it's the Cayenne that's causing the burning. I took Cayenne suppements previously and got the same burning sensation in my stomach. I will keep you posted to my progress. Since I determined that 2 capsules 2xday were ok for me I'll try the recommended 3 capsules 2xday and see how it works. Good luck to all of you--may this suppement work to help us all lose those stubborn pounds of fat!! |
| deni | posted 8-Sep-2008 9:45am i brought a pair of trousers about 4 weeks ago just before i started. i could not do the button up - not even close. i wore them yesterday!!! - the button done up and i was not uncomfortable - but they were not roomy - still progress hey? hopefully soon they will be roomy!!! was supposed to weigh myself today but decided not to as i had missed two doses over the weekend due to not having the pills with me, will wait until next week. jaezee - any news for us?? |
| AZ | posted 8-Sep-2008 12:29pm Hello all: Deni - So you are seeing a difference finally, that's great! glad to hear it! I haven't weighed myself nor took the Fat test.. LOL - just been lazy! I need to get back on the bandwagon! well I'll write back when I know the news.. |
| Woody | posted 8-Sep-2008 2:35pm I just got my order(3 bottles) this morning and have taken both doses of three capsules each. I have not had any burning sensation as yet. I am 74 years old and have always thin.I have been gaining weight stedily for the past six months. I can't get into any of my clothes except the ones with elastic in the waist, and still feel bloated. My stomach even looks like I am pregnant. I hate looking at myself in the mirror!!! I am 5'9" and weight 155 lbs. My back really bothers me when I weigh this much. I would like to get back down to 135 lbs. I am glad I found this blog. I have been reading all the posts and seems there are all kinds of pros and cons. I will keep checking back to see how all of y'all are doing and to report if I lose weight or not. |
| Deni | posted 8-Sep-2008 3:00pm thanks Az - lets hope it carries on! Woody have you been to the doctor about your weight gain over the last 6 months - it could be thyroid if you have always been thin and you have not suddenly started eating more? |
| Nikki | posted 9-Sep-2008 9:36am Hello All! This is Day 3 for me. I haven't lost any weight (which isn't the important thing), BUT I have lost 1/2" from both my waist and tummy (which IS the important thing). Dunno if this is actual fat loss or water weigh loss, but either way I don't care-I feel better and more motivated and am glad something positive is happening. I don't think I'll bother weighing myself much--the only important thing is how my clothes fit. I've read through all the blogs and am making sure I eat enough protein, esp for breakfast and lunch. My appetite has decreased significantly and I get full eating a lot less than before I started taking Leptitrex. Also, not craving the carbs like I used to. It's really great to have a forum where people share their experiences, thoughts, tips and suggestions--it's a wonderful support vehicle! Thanks, everyone! Keep ya posted... |
| deni | posted 9-Sep-2008 9:38am good luck nikki! |
| ang | posted 9-Sep-2008 10:59am This stuff curbed my appetite in the beginning, but now, back to normal. I finished up this bottle and I will not be ordering another. |

| Anonymous | posted 10-Sep-2008 9:59am It really works!!! I combined Leptitrex with fat loss 4 idiots diet plan, I have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks.... |
| AZ | posted 10-Sep-2008 11:22am Anony. I looked up that fat loss for idiots and that is $40 - on top of the Liptitrex! - can you share with us the Secret and the Diet Plan? - I am sooo frustrated now because I'm fluctuating between 147 and 145. I started at 150, but I need to lose more weight and it's just not coming off!!! :) I don't want to spend anymore money on weight loss stuff. I feel like I'm just throwing all my money away on fat! - sooo frustrated!!!! :( - ANONYMOUS - anything you feel like letting us know about this diet would be great! |
| BB | posted 10-Sep-2008 11:28am AZ- I am totally in the same situation you are in - very frustrated! I am not losing any weight or inches and I am exercising more than ever. I did very good the first 2 weeks and encouraged my friends to buy these pills and so far they haven't had any results - Someone tell me what are we doing wrong?? |
| eve | posted 10-Sep-2008 11:29am I just ordered a bottle and am excited to try it as I feel all I've read is very favorable. I already have been taking various herbal supplements with good results - not for weight loss, though. I am 50 and I notice a lot of you seem younger. Here's my question, and I know catpower1818 spoke to this, but does anyone know if someone with borderline high blood pressure but no known heart problems is incurring any risk with this product? My bp is borderline high and never used to be - my doc said stress, menopause and weight gain has a lot to do with it! So, obviously losing the weight is important! The list of ingredients doesn't worry me too much, but not knowing quantities is a little bit of a concern. I do drink coffee, always have. About 2-3 cups each morning. I really want to try this but certainly can't, I guess, if it's really risky blood-pressure wise. I hope someone has some information on this. Thanks so much! |
| AZ | posted 10-Sep-2008 11:55am Yeah BB- If you go to that website fat loss 4 idiots it seems like it could work, but then again, EVERYTHING seems like it could work. I just know that the last time I lost a ton of weight after having my daughter I worked out at the gym 5-7 times a week, ate pretty much nothing but chicken, some rice and beans every single day! no pills, shakes, drinks, nothing... it was just such a bland diet and really don't want to go back to that again. Not to mention that I had absolutly NO LIFE at all except, work, gym, school, shower, bed... every day! it sucks, but I guess if it means losing these last pounds I have to do it! :( - sad and depressed!!! I'm going to the gym on my lunch break! :( |
| Deni | posted 10-Sep-2008 3:03pm hi all - fat loss for idiots works without the pills. The reason - is is mainly a protein based diet - you eat small amounts until you are satisfied BUT NOT FULL. they ask you to chose from a list of foods - they then give you a combination diet for about 10 days i think, you follow their meal plans throughout this - i think it is 4 meals a day, you take them in any order throughout the day. After the 10 days or so is up - you have a 3 day break where you can eat anything - then you start again with another diet plan they devise for you. When you pay they give you a password and you then go in with that and they combo new diet plans for you. Only down side is - i found the meals a bit boring, no salad, fruit, veg - so i got constipated. Example they say eat cashew nuts, turkey, eggs - this is one meal. No portion sizes. But how do you really get a meal out of that combination. I id it for 4 days and lost a 1 lb a day - but the meal plans just didn't suit me. I will try and find one of my diet plans and write some meals out. Az - my target weight is your starting weight! i wish i could get down to 145 - 150 lbs!! |
| AZ | posted 10-Sep-2008 3:39pm Deni - thank you for that. I was curious and YES, you are right, I don't think I could ever live off of those meals... YUCK! I'd rather work my ass off at the gym and eat El Polla Loco all day! lol - Chicken, Rice, Beans, tortilla every now and again, Veggies and rice, Pasta and chicken! that is better for me! ok well I'm headed off to the gym..... I need to get back on track! I was getting lazy and de-motivated! :( |
| Deni | posted 10-Sep-2008 3:40pm hi ok found some of my diet - sorry i madea msitake you can eat fruit/ sald/ veg but only if it is part of that meal. diet rules - you get 4 daily meals, you can eat any order but you must eat on the day they are scheduled for. No snacks inbetween. you follow the plan for 11 days then have 3 cheat days - where you can eat anything you want - you then go back on their site and they do you another 11 days. The reason the diet works is it every 11 days the diet shifts calories around and so your body never knows what is going on so continues to burn! you are allowed any diet soda, ice t with lemon, water, coffee or low cal drink with less than 10 cal per glass. some of my combos were like; day 1 - meal 1 = cottage cheese/ hard boiled eggs/ bowl of green beans meal 2 - roast beef slices/ tuna salad plate meal 3 = cashews/ scramble egg/ fresh apples meal 4 = low fat milk/ chicken/ bowl of oatmeal day 2 = meal 1 = deli sandwich meal 2, 3, 4 - fruit only for all three - they gave me a selection of 9 fruits day 3 = meal 1 = cheese slices/ macadonia nuts meal 2 = walnuts/ turkey slices meal 3 = cottage cheese/ hard boiled eggs/ fruit salad dessert meal 4 = roast beef slice/ tuna salad plate day 4 = meal 1 = cashews/ scramble egg meal 2 = low fat milk/ chicken/ fresh pears meal 3 = cheese slice/ macadonia nuts meal 4 = walnut/ turkey slices this was taken taken straight from the list in order as they prepared it for me, as you can see - they are not really proper meals, all protein based, very bland and most do not go together - i mean nuts and cheese?!! their was some fruit there but i prefer to have salad with most of my meals. I think the purpose of the diet is to eat for fuel but not enjoyment - there is only so much you can eat of the above so the body will not over indulge. i personally do not think you can keep up with such a boring restrictive diet, even though it works! |
| AZ | posted 10-Sep-2008 5:05pm I agree with you Deni, there is no way I'd ever be able to stick to this diet, that's crazy.! well, I went to the gym on my lunch and worked out for a bit. As it gets cooler here I'm going to get outside and exercise, ride my bike, run, rollerblade. The gym all alone does get quite boring... I'm also going to start taking these pills 3 times a day, see if there is any difference. I'll let you guys know. thanks Deni! |
| Anonymous | posted 10-Sep-2008 9:11pm I know the diet can be boring but when you see the results at the end of the eleven day, and you weight yourself and you are down 7 pounds... it is worth the sacrifice, with the diet, you are never hungry and you learn the most valuable lesson: to eat 4 times a day, small portions, you are going to feel your metabolism its working again, its only 11 days!!!! the pills help you not to feel anxious and it gives you energy... for those who have not seen results yet, try to walk 30 minutes everyday... |
| Woody | posted 11-Sep-2008 1:17am Well here it is three days for me. Nothing to report. Kind of boring, really, as I don't see any difference in the way I feel or anything. At least I don't have any bad affects. I went to the Doctor today. I weighed 158 instead of the 155 I weighed on a friends scale. I told the Doctor I was going to go on a diet, but decided not to tell him about the Leptitrex, cause I didn't think he would approve. I actually went for something else. I have to go to the hospital Friday and have both my Carotid Arteries checked. If I don't lose any weight by the end of two weeks, I am going to contact them and send all three bottles back. I think that will be long enough to give it a try. |
| deni | posted 11-Sep-2008 4:33am annony - you are right the results are good. But it isn't really only 11 days - because you carry on after the three days off. The lesson is correct - eat small and frequent and it is protein based. I agree with the walking as i love walking and every muscle gets worked! if you can stick to the food on offer well done. I personally just didnt enjoy it meal after meal, even though they were foods i like. |
| AZ | posted 11-Sep-2008 12:24pm not only that but what is going to happen when you start eating normal again. Not saying fatty foods, but foods that aren't wierd Protein based meals. You will most likley gain all that weight back.. soo the bigger question is.... do you plan on eating like that for the rest of your life in able to stay thin?? |
| EMM | posted 11-Sep-2008 1:44pm So I have been taking the pills for three days now consistantly. I had stopped cause I thought they were giving me excrutiating headaches, bu they were from all the lovely hurricane fronts we keep getting in FL from the hurricanes. I have lost a couple lbs so far. If I can keep this up I should be able to lose what I need in time. Deni- I am looking at getting to 145-150 too! It is nice to hear that someone else has to reach that weight as well. |
| Anonymous | posted 11-Sep-2008 7:10pm I just want to lose the weight, and the diet is working along with the pills, I will worry later of what Im going to eat, I know something for sure There is no way Im gaining the weight back!!!! |
| deni | posted 12-Sep-2008 4:08am good luck anony... emm - i don't seem to be going anywhere - but will keep it up a bit more... |
| catpower1818 | posted 12-Sep-2008 10:36am Hey everyone, I just started my second bottle this week and last night I finally went back to the gym. And already this morning, I notice a definite difference in my muscle tone. Yay! The first two weeks I was taking Leptitrex, I was noticing dramatic differences, then at week 3 I started getting bigger again. I was following the instructions and was very careful about my diet, but I wasn't excercising properly. But now after one workout, I'm already toning and shrinking!!! VERY HAPPY! So I will keep up with it and I'm sure I'll get the results I'm looking for. Just a friendly reminder: these are not "magic pills." If you don't follow the instructions exactly, they won't work!!! Don't waste your money. Drink LOTS of water, at least 7 or 8 cups a day. Eat LOTS OF PROTEIN. Don't eat refined sugars or complex carbohydrates. Take the pills every morning and afternoon, and eat 30 min afterward (they won't work otherwise.) Do this, be patient, and watch your body transform. Good luck all!!! |
| Deni | posted 12-Sep-2008 2:22pm hey catpower - you're back! if going to the gym is the only way these pills will work then i better not bother - as i won't go to the gym. Mind you mel lost weight withou the gym. The rest of what you say makes sense though as that is what they recommend. I always wandered what happend if you didnt eat exactly 30 mins later - so they don't work at all? |
| AZ | posted 12-Sep-2008 4:27pm well Deni, didn't you say that you started seeing a difference finally.... and your right Mel did say that he/she lost weight with out exercise.... who knows.. it all goes back to your body I think... when I stopped working out at the gym for 1 1/2 weeks I stopped loseing weight, cuz I got lazy.. but now I'm back at the gym and feeling better then every... STILL haven't done that fat test I need to do.. I totally lost track of what week I'm on.. lol - but I'm curious... soo I'm going to schedule tht test soon. I'll let everyone know. :) Deni, don't give up, if you are losing then keep taking them and keep with the diet. |
| Deni | posted 13-Sep-2008 6:33am az - i won't give up dieting and watching what i eat and walking as it has become a way of life now. On monday i will weigh myself, i haven't done since the first time a few weeks ago, i have even forgotton when i started! i will attempt to measure again ! if there is no change then i don't want to take pills unneccasary - it would have been atleats 4-5 weeks like mels then. each time i feel my clothes are loser then i feel bloated again. let us know on your fat test. |
| Mel | posted 14-Sep-2008 9:24am Hi guys! Don't give up on these pills. While I'm sure they are not right for everyone, I do think they take time for your body to adjust to them. It took 4-5 weeks before I saw the scale budge at all....but I did lose inches during that time....with no exercise. I think Cat is right in that the pills do not work if you don't eat...you have to eat the protein. As I'm typing this I'm eating 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters with one slice of ham chopped in it and 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese...this is 24g of protein, about half of my daily requirement of protein. You have to get the protein in there...lots of it. I found a pretty good recipe yesterday for a great protein rich snack, or lunch...Turkey balls 1 pound lean ground turkey 1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil 1 egg salt and pepper Mix it all up. Shape into 1-1/2 inch balls, brown on all sidesin skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet and finish cooking in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes until done. Four of these balls served with marinara dipping sauce provide about 28g of protein and fill you up. The next time I make them I'm gonna add more spices...they need a little extra kick, maybe some onion powder, garlic and some italian seasoning...YUM! |
| Mel | posted 14-Sep-2008 10:05am Actually, I calculated my breakfast protein wrong...I usually eat 1/4 cup of Egg beaters. This morning I had half cup, so my protein for breakfast was 30g! Don't skimp on the protein...get as much as you can :) |
| Woody | posted 14-Sep-2008 11:32pm Tomorrow is the end of my first week. I have gained 3 pounds!!! I feel like I am starving and I really have the jitters. These pills do not do anything for me like they are suppose to. I finally called and told my doctor I was taking them. He asked me to come by and get a diet to go by. I have COPD, so there are all kinds of things that I should not be eating and should be eating lots of carbohydrates. This is the first I have ever heard that there is a diet for people with a lung disease. Guess I will just email the company and ask how to go about sending my bottles back to them. Hope all of you have real good luck. |
| deni | posted 15-Sep-2008 4:08am hi woody - it is good you spoke to your doctor. When on medication you must be so careful. The diet they give you will help you lose those extra pounds you gained. good luck. i decided not to weigh in 2day as it is kinda my time of the month, as i don't get a proper period due to teh coil - i still get something and i feel bloated. mel you lost inches while not losing weight but i don't seem to be losing any. I do eat a protein rich diet. |
| Anonymous | posted 15-Sep-2008 12:27pm I Just started taking the pills yesterday and I woke up 3 pounds lighter today!!!! I feel skinnier and I have more energy!!! They make you feel a little jittery but its just from bookooos of energy, but not near as bad as my experience with hydroxycut. I am happy with it so far and cant wait to see what I look like in a month from now!!!! |
| Deni | posted 15-Sep-2008 4:54pm wow - lucky you !!!! i can't wait to hear how you are doing to... |
| AZ | posted 15-Sep-2008 4:59pm Yeah, that's great!!! too bad I had a really bad bad weekend... My Husband's work had a BBQ and 3 kegs - soo needless to say I was drinking in the sun, which isn't good, but not only that I was drinking Sat night too... the scale this morning said "YIKES" - lol oh yeah.. and I totally forgot to take my pills as well.... man I suck at this Diet stuff! :( I don't think I'm ever going to lose anything at this point! |
| deni | posted 16-Sep-2008 3:49am az - spirits up. diets are short term - changing the way you eat is long term. don't look at it as a diet. YOu now eat a protein rich diet and occasionally you are going to want to treat yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself. You had a great weekend - now it's back to normal. The scales show lots of water (alcohol to you and me) take a detox drink and flush it out. Trust me in afew days those extra pounds will have dissapeared. Taking these pills can't be the answer - chnaging our diet will help us lose those pounds anyway - the protein rich diet works without the pills - it is slow but more healthy i think. even though i am not seeing much of a difference i know the foods i am eating are low fat, high protein and healthy. If i stop the pills because i do not see a difference i will carry on eating healthy and occasionaly i will have a take out and i still have my low fat treats too - the body needs a treat too ! x |
| Mel | posted 16-Sep-2008 6:05am Deni, I agree the body needs a treat. You can't deprive yourself. I was at a cookout last night and had two pieces of pudding cake. Last night I couldn't sleep. Got up and got on the puter and proceeded to eat 6 of those miniature candy bars...still lost a half pound! The other thing I've been researching about is zigzagging your calories. If you cut your calories by too much your body realizes it and actually stops burning the calories (it goes into starvation mode). Thus you are needing fewer calories to sustain your body in every day activities. By zigzagging your calories (eating more one day, then eating less, then more) you confuse your body and it just keeps burning. Weird, but I have found this to actually be true. At the beginning of your diet you may lose when you cut calories beacause you've been eating so much many anyway, but after a while the pounds seem to stop coming off (they did for me). Once I started zigzagging the scale began moving again. |
| AZ | posted 16-Sep-2008 12:20pm thanks guys, I was just sooo upset with myself about the weight gain! Your support is greatly appreciated!!!!! I'm ok again, back on the bandwagon! - I do eat pretty well, and I do workout, but I think I need to try that Zig zagging that Mel spoke of. I just can't seem to get past 145 no matter how much I do. So, I'll do that.. I did also read that if you keep eating the same things and doing the same workouts that your body gets used to it and then stays stationary and your metabolism doens't go anywhere as well. i think this might be a good idea! - so I'm also going to alter my work outs as well. P.S. I'm not going to take that Fat test till I get back down in weight.. lol |
| Blonde32girl | posted 16-Sep-2008 4:00pm I got my first bottle of Leptitrex in yesterday & started taking them today, I did notice that I wasn't hungry at lunch and only felt like eating half of my normal amount of food during lunch. Hopefully I'll continue feeling that way and be able to reduce my caloric intake. I noticed a few people mentioning a "burning" sensation and some contribute that to the cayenne pepper in the pills, I noticed a slight burning in my stomach but nothing major. I'm going to be using the pills in conjuction with diet & exercise and see how I do. I'll post it on here. |
| kathy | posted 16-Sep-2008 10:09pm Could someone please give me the return shipping address for Leptitrex,. I have e-mailed them 3 times in 2 days and have yet to get a response. I want a refund because the pills did not work for me. I am upset that in Canada as i,i cannot access a phone line for customer service. I am needless to say extremely frustrated. PLease help if someone has this info i would really appreciate it as i would like the quarantee they promised me when i ordered. All i know is it came from Blackstone Nutrition as stated on my c/c that's it.. although i ordered it from Leptitrex official website.??????????? |
| deni | posted 17-Sep-2008 5:42am yes - the zigzagging is crucial - this is what the fat loss for idiots diet basically does - they give you a new diet every 11 days, with the 3 days cheating inbetwn. so they shift the calories, the diet is mainly protein based and it allows you to treat yourself - because that is what the body wants. Plenty of water. they call it calorie shifting. you need to change what you eat, so the body doesn't know what is coming next and carries on burning. we seem to know what to do but don't seem to do it!!!!! also sometime we don't eat enough calories for our weight so again we don't burn - increasing the calories helps you lose weight too. |
| kathy | posted 17-Sep-2008 9:39am could someone please give me the return address for Leptitrex. I have still not heard anything and i feel like i got scammed!!! I just want to send the bottle back and get my refund. THANKS |

| AZ | posted 17-Sep-2008 11:22am Very True Deni- we seem to know what to do but don't do it! lol - I've done this before, I know how to do it, but can't seem to get there. Food Pressure! :) - can't stay away! hehee - well, come on, we all have to buckle down and do this, otherwise we are just waisting our own money! - I talked my Husband into letting me make the meals for 5 days, then he is doing the other 2. The thing is, his father is a GREAT cook, but just about every meal is full of calories! and that is how my Husband likes to cook, but when I cook it's chicken and veggies, and pork and beans, etc.... sooo I'm kicking him off the stove for now, and I'm going to do it my old way and we are both going to get this gone!!!! - Deni- also - I have scheduled my fat % testing... YIKES!!!! - Friday morning, scared or not, here we go!!!- :( - I'll post the report, good or not! |
| kathy | posted 17-Sep-2008 12:22pm thanks Deni much appreciated |
| AZ | posted 17-Sep-2008 1:08pm Oh Yeah Deni - you were right, I'm back down to 145.5 lbs.. YEAH!!! - since I really never weighted myself much before, I never noticed the HUGE difference after drinking... 3.5 pounds in 2 days. If I could lose that much every 2 or 3 days I'd be one happy lady! lol - just thought I'd share... :) |
| Deni | posted 17-Sep-2008 2:10pm az - if i could 3.5 pounds every 2-3 days - i'd have disappeared by now !!!! the fat test will be the real result. what if it hasn't changed? will you quit the pills? if the scale isn't moving, your clothes fit the same and the fat is the same - ??? you will still lose the weight the good old fashion way - we are taking these pills as a boost, to speed it up to move the scales that won't budge - if they don't do that what is the point in putting these things in our bodies?! on monday i will weigh in and decide. mind you i can feel i haven't lost. yea occasionally my trousers feel really lose but then they feel snug! what is going on?! sometimes i think i was meant to be this way - i am not destined for a better body - it may shock me to much! he he |
| AZ | posted 17-Sep-2008 2:37pm hehe :) I don't know it's a toss up, when I am seriously working out, I can feel my muscles feel like they are toning faster, and I feel like I am slimming down in my waist, but not my hips and thighs... that is the only complaint I have with it right now. If the fat % test is the same then I'm going to be really upset! will I stop taking the pills, humm... I might boost myself up for a couple weeks, meaning, eat better, lean it down more, work out much more!!!, and if that still doesn't help in a couple weeks, then I'm done with the pills. - Like you said, why take them if they aren't doing anything for me... Let me know what your results are as well Deni... |
| Anonymous | posted 18-Sep-2008 10:53am I took the pills for a month (along with proper diet and exercise) and didn't see much difference in my weight (up and down). So I stopped taking them last week, and now I am down 6 pounds since I quit them. Interesting indeed... |
| Rose | posted 18-Sep-2008 1:51pm I stumbled across this website and glad I did... a lot of good advice! Today is my third day of taking Leptitrex and so far I feel really good. I was feeling really disgusted with my self which is why I ordered these and since I started I feel really good. Even my stomach feels flatter, I think it's helped with the bloating so far. I don't feel nauseated or jittery... I'm pleased thus far!!! Can't wait to see if I lose anything =0) |
| Deni | posted 18-Sep-2008 3:36pm Hi anon - well yes that is interesting. i think i am going to go down that road too... i weighed myself today and i am up 5lbs from when i started !! i can not risk putting anymore weight. I am going to stop now and see if i can get a refund. I wander if anyone experienced problems getting their money back? i will still log on though and see how you guys are all doing i have tried them now for over a month, and am hoping i will drop teh extra weight i have gained soon. I am going to carry on with my healthy eating and walking and am going to try drinking chinese tea and pills - which are all natural. see what happens. az - let me know how you get on i will log on xxx |
| AZ | posted 18-Sep-2008 4:06pm Hey Deni - I'm sorry to hear about your gain! Man that Sucks!!!! yeah, stop taking the pills, they are obviously not doing anything... I keep seeing these adds for these weight loss teas and powders that you mix with water and drink all day long and reported weight loss from that but, again, I'm just afraid of more of a disappointment... I have that test tomorrow, soo lets see how I do on that... I'll report it on here when I get back... DUM DUM DUMMMMMM!!! lol - I feel good, and I think I am slimming down some. it's just so hard to tell sometimes. Deni - what do you mean... on like another service?? like an IM or something.. |

| deni | posted 19-Sep-2008 4:08am hi az i'll log onto this site and we can keep each other informed on progress. The chinese diet tea i got was not very expensive, it definately helps you go to the toilet as that had become a problem since starting leptitrex. Had one cup of it and have been to the toilet and lost 3 lbs by mornin !! i know it's not fat but all that waste is weight too....let me on your test today... |
| kathy | posted 19-Sep-2008 9:51am I returned my empty bottle to Blackstone nutrition as specified on the Leptitrex website yesterday, so I hope i get a refund i have still had no response to my e-mails.

I'll keep posting |
| deni | posted 20-Sep-2008 4:20am well that's something. but 5-7 times a week?? wow good luck girl - even the doctors dont recommend more than 3 intensive training sessions a week - unless your training to be a bodybuilder!! anyway this is the response i got from leptitrex for a refund - so anyone wanting this info - take note: Sorry our product didn’t work out for you.

| AZ | posted 22-Sep-2008 11:06am Well, it's not that bad, when I was training with a trainer before my accident and got down to 130 pounds, I was doing the same thing... and it's just cardio, not heavy weight training. soo I am doing Cardio 5-7 days a week, and Weights 3 days a week. This is very much looked at as a heathly life style. As it is I do alot of Cardio, Bike riding, Rollerblading, jogging, speed walking (with the dogs), when it gets cooler we all go hiking - this is all outside of the gym. My family is pretty active. I think this is why I'm not losing. I need to do more and a lil more intense... whichi s definatly something I can do. Between, school, daughters gymnastics, homework (hers & mine) full time job, etc.... sooo anyways - I'm going to try this for 1 more month (I still have the pills, not ordering more)with my new work out regimine and see what happens. if I'm only down another .5% I'm going to DYE!!!! lol - but definatly going to STOP taking them for they aren't doing anything for me at that point. - The trainer told me that if I wanted to come back in 2 weeks rather then 1 month and do another fat% test I could.. sooo I think I might take him up on that offer.... MORE UPDATES TO COME!!!! |
| kathy | posted 22-Sep-2008 11:19am Well still haven't heard anything from the company Leptitrex. HOW RUDE!! I sent the bottle with my packing slip back on Sept 18/08 via e-mail so they should have it mid week and hopefully i will be refunded by the middle of the following week if not sooner..keeping my fingers' crossed. I still don't understand the no response and i let them know that believe me ..maybe they don't like Canadians..LOL |
| Rose | posted 22-Sep-2008 12:33pm Blonde32girl - How are you doing on the pills thus far? Mel - Are you still taking the pills? You've done really well with them right? |
| catpower1818 | posted 22-Sep-2008 1:39pm Weight update: I started out at 158lbs... When I weighed myself at the gym last week I was at just under 150... very happy! Another 5-10lbs and I will be exactly where I want to be. And I'm only on my second bottle! |
| AZ | posted 22-Sep-2008 2:01pm So, how much cardio is enough? Well, it just depends. It depends on your fitness level, how much time you can find for it and what your goals and objectives are. Ten minutes is time well spent if that's all you can find, but if you want to burn 30-50 pounds quickly, your best bet is 30-60 minutes, once to twice a day, most days of the week. An article I found... Yes, you will find contradicting ones as well, but what works for me wont work for everyone... just thought this might give some people on here an idea of how much cardio they need to do, but PLEASE don't forget to get those weights in there, you will lose more weight/fat overall doing your weight training 3 days a week, that's it.... and NO you wont get body builder bodies... after cardio, you stop losing calories/fat/weight - but up to 2 hours after weight lifting you are still burning, not to mention that your muscle will continue to burn calories through out the day at a slower pace even though you are not working out. Food for thought! |
| AZ | posted 22-Sep-2008 2:02pm Congrats Catpower1818!!! that's great news! |

| tk | posted 22-Sep-2008 6:33pm Hey All, I got my first bottle in the mail about 2 days ago. So far, mixed reviews. I don't drink a lot of caffeine so I don't know if what I'm feeling would be considered "jitters" but I definitely feel something. I guess to describe it it makes me feel weak. I have pretty low blood pressure to begin with and I'm making sure to eat a good but healthy amount so I know it can't be low blood sugar. Has anyone else felt this way? I hope it gets better. :) I need some help losing the 15 pounds I've gained since getting married. It doesn't help to be married to a man that never gains an ounce! Also, one more question...has anyone ever thought of taking the pills before lunch and before dinner? I don't really eat breakfast because I'm just not hungry when I get up, but I'm wondering if doing the lunch and dinner thing will lessen the effect of the pills. What do you guys think? |
| AZ | posted 22-Sep-2008 7:00pm tk - I don't know about the Lunch, Dinner thing but you will see that some of up have had tummy burning and some other effects, just eat a Piece of cheese, or chicken, turkey from the night before, something high in Protein. you don't have to eat a Full meal, although all diets you look at say eat your smallest meal for Dinner, and biggest for Breakfast becasue you will burn more of the Breakfast then the Dinner, which turns into fat while sleeping... just something to think about. |
| Telle Belle | posted 24-Sep-2008 2:47pm Is there anyone on this stuff that has a significant amount of weight to lose? I am in the obese category myself. I was wondering if anyone with 100+ pounds to lose has been on this for any length of time and could give a good account. I just opened my second bottle today. I have lost 11.2 pounds with the first bottle, which isn't too bad, though I was hoping it would be a little bit faster. I am not able to exercise at all due to lung disease though, so considering that, I guess 11.2 pounds in a month isn't all that bad. Hope to hear from you....any of you, not just ones with significant weight to lose. |
| Telle Belle | posted 24-Sep-2008 2:54pm Oh...one thing I forgot to mention is that I do feel the pills are helping a LOT with the cravings I tend to get while dieting. I don't seem to be getting them at ALL, which is a huge plus. Also, I don't get as hungry. I am trying to eat a small amount every 2 to 3 hours instead of eating a full meal 3 times a day. Protein bars (Special K and Zone Perfect) help me fill in between the main (ie cooked) meals. |
| tk | posted 25-Sep-2008 4:46am Thanks AZ for the reply. I'm finding as the days pass, the jitteriness is becoming less and less. I know I need to eat a lot of protein with these pills so is it basically like an Atkin's Diet in conjunction with the pills? I feel like in the 4 days I've been taking them, I've noticed that I'm not as hungry and I feel like my body is changing a little bit, but I haven't really been eating that much protein after taking the pills. I've been reading the messages up top and it seems like some people have had great success, while others haven't. What does anyone think the recommended time is to wait it out for results? |
| Mel | posted 25-Sep-2008 7:16am I'm still taking the pills. Am on my 4th bottle. Have lost a total of 23 pounds and many inches all over (waist, abdomen, hips, thighs). Have gone from a too tight size 12 jeans to comfortable size 8. I had gained back about 5 pounds due to having to take prednisone for poison ivy but have lost that. I seem to have kinda stalled on the weight loss. It may be because of the prednisone. It may be I got side tracked with two weeks full of family functions (chock full of food for each occasion...ughhh!)Who knows. I'm still taking the pills though and still trying to lose 20 more pounds to reach my goal. In total I ordered 6 bottles of Leptitrex (Two orders of three). I'm on my fourth and have two more left. I don't think I would recommend taking the pills before dinner. They could keep you from sleeping at night. |
| Rose | posted 25-Sep-2008 5:59pm hi everyone  Just read through this whole thread with great interest, on day 3 of leptitrex and apart from a definite decrease in appetite haven't noticed much else. I'm 47 and fed up with being almost exactly 2 stone overweight for the last 5/6 years no matter what I did and I've tried em all!!I'm useless at dieting I like my red wine in the evenings too much, I don't drink near enough water and spend far too much money on botox ;) But I do exercise at least twice a week, gym or classes depending on my schedule. Anyway lets see if the claims of rapid weight loss reduced wrinkles and glowing complexion are true. Have measured and weighed everything so will keep you posted. looking for very fast results got a hot date in four weeks, so fingers crossed and praying like mad |

| Kido | posted 26-Sep-2008 10:07pm Hello fellow dieters! I've been looking for information on Leptitrex for a while now and am glad to have found this thread. REAL people actually taking and discussing it, what a treat, truly a first. Read through this whole thing with interest and decided to give Leptitrex a go. Actually, I have to admit deep down I don't really expect it to work, but I know it will make me stick to my diet plan and exercise like superglue - I spent a hundred bucks afterall, motivation enough! I placed my order on Sunday and got my two bottles yesterday - took only 4 days, nothing to complain at all. Arrived in a USPS mailing box with an address label glued onto it - so much for the image of a professional company. But oh well! Today was my first day taking them. I took two sets of 3 pills, one for lunch at about 12 and the other at about 5 for an early dinner. I'm usually not a breakfast person and am totally happy with my lunch at 12, though I know about the statistics and keeping your metabolism high by eating a healthy breakfast.. I'll try it this way for know and see how it goes. I didn't feel any nausea nor a burning sensation, no jittery feelings or being extremely hyper. Actually I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary at all, safe for a strange feeling of fullness. Was still looking forward to lunch but was really satisfied after my typical diet-sized portion. Hopefully that will keep up and not change when the body gets used to it after a couple of days, I know people here said their appetite went back to normal after a while. Oh well.. I could most definitely get used to this satisfied feeling of not craving anything at all, how liberating! Sitting here, watching a movie on a lazy and especially cold and rainy Friday night, NOT munching on things or even close to thinking about it. I'm wondering if having taken the pills at 5pm will get me in trouble with going to sleep, I guess I'll find out in a while. I feel fine, not jittery or hyperactive, I'm actually quite tired after a long day of work and don't really expect there to be any problems, I can sleep through anything. Good thing it's Friday! Oh, I'd appreciate to hear from you guys even if you turn your back on Leptitrex - it's nice to be in touch with the same people and the every-day-troubles with fighting against those nasty pounds of fat. Ah, why must dieting be such a major pain! |

| deni | posted 27-Sep-2008 10:45am lol, hailey7, new commer with attitude - have we met? i can't see you up there... actually at one point we were the only ones left at the top responding at all - so we encouraged each other ! we do comment to other people, encourage and congratulate - we don't ignore anyone. well maybe you coz you just got here .... |
| Hailey7 | posted 27-Sep-2008 9:00pm because I just got here? yea right, I've seen that happen and was talking about just that, no surprise there. seems to happen frequently with you, figures! i've been following this thread pretty much from the start but never commented cause I didn't order Leptitrex yet. guess I won't bother afterall, with such a nice welcome to me simply stating a fact. don't get your panties in a knot big girl. |
| randomtroublemaker | posted 28-Sep-2008 3:09pm As long as this thread is, and not one complaint until now....I think that speaks for itself... /discuss :) |
| Anonymous | posted 28-Sep-2008 9:30pm Hailey7 - this is a forum to help, inform and encourage - none of which you have done. If you have in fact been following this from the beginning, you would know that deni and AZ have done all of the above. You're not hurting any of us by not ordering these pills. In fact, if you have nothing to bring to the table, keep your negative comments to yourself. I too have been following along, and this is the first time that I have commented. |
| deni | posted 29-Sep-2008 8:14am thank you above for your support! gosh - i didn't think you could get people who went onto forums to start trouble - wow - ! hailey - WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? "because I just got here? yea right, I've seen that happen and was talking about just that, no surprise there. seems to happen frequently with you, figures!" WHAT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY? are you on your period or something? AND IN RESPONSE TO THIS CHILDISH STUPID REMARK: "won't bother afterall, with such a nice welcome to me simply stating a fact. don't get your panties in a knot big girl." Who cares ENORMOUS GIRL! u joker, if you were so slim you wouldn't be contemplating taking them to start with... oh and by the way - facts are real - not illusion. |
| AZ | posted 29-Sep-2008 2:05pm OH WOW!!! what have I missed!??? it apears this site has become a lil chat blog that all the kids come to... huh! anyways!! I want to say THANK YOU for the above support, it's appreciated! - Deni - I've been doing ok.. still stuck! but I have to say... I was doing my weekly exercise, eating well and everything, then life started getting busy and I lost it with the exercising. I did weigh myself though and I'm about the same.. the same ol 5 pounds.. I need to stick to it.. it's soo hard to stay with the exercising when you have sooo much going on in your life!!! as for the new people - how are you guys doing? any progress, changes? Hope everyone is doing well, Keep up the good work! "fight the fat!!!" hehee that is what the boxing says on my Wii Fit it cracks me up! Deni - how are you doing? any loss? |
| AZ | posted 29-Sep-2008 2:17pm Oh hey TK How are you doing.. I'm sorry I forgot to ask... hope things are getting better for you! and yes you are right, it's kinda like atkins - BUT only the healthy stuff... I've known people on Atkins that will eat like the melted greasy cheese off a pizza and stuff like that - becasue it's protein - YUCK! that's what I say, it makes me sick to eat grease like that.... soo just make sure you eat Healthy, eat frequently - 4 times a day at least, in small amounts, and keep up the water and protein - this will help you also Kido - if you do this it might help lose more weight, I know about the Breakfast issue, I'm the same way but I force myself to eat 2 scrambled eggs or a small bowl of cherios, it's a small change but it really does help. Let me know how it goes..... :) |
| Deni | posted 29-Sep-2008 4:08pm az where have you been? i felt i was all alone for a while then randomtroublemaker and anonymous came in for moral support. it is so frustrating not move on the scales - i have stopped taking the leptitrex for a week now - need to post them two bottles back for a refund. I am drinking the chinese tea but still keeping to a protein rich diet. well i am definately going to the toilet more - which i prefer as i do not feel bloated. Scales wise not a huge change i keep fluctuating 3 lbs - if i had some more movement it would really motivate me, but i am not going to give up and eat bad again - it has been almost two years !! a friend of mine is following a no carb diet - literally no carbs - and has lost 21 lbs in 9 weeks. she says that once you do not eat carbs fora few days you don't crave at all - what i didn't realise was you can not eat fruit on a no carb diet - i love fruit! I think Mel has been the biggest inspiration on this forum - you have done so well. Catpower came back and did well too ... good luck evryone - it is clear we all have different bodies and it works for some and not for others, the goal for all of us "BIG Girls" is the same - we want to lose weight and look good. So any ideas we see working we should share - my friends no carb diet - no pills either by the way is great for her, she is also a vegetarian!! Has anyone tried lipobind? its new in the UK and it is being advertised by reputable health shops and pharmecies - i tried it and gained on thet too - what is wrong with me??!! xx |
| Rose31 | posted 29-Sep-2008 4:19pm Hi All... I see there is someone else posting on here now with the same name as myself so I will post/comment as Rose31 from now on. Tomorrow will be my second week on Leptitrex but I haven't weighed myself because I'm afraid to be disapointed if I haven't lost anything but I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow and see how that goes... hopefully good. :) I feel like I've at least lost inches... I'm feeling really good so far!!! |
| AZ | posted 29-Sep-2008 4:32pm Deni - I'm still here, just been soo slammed with work and my daughter with her gymnastics, she has an exibition coming up on the 4th, soo it's beena lil crazy with her and school is keeping me busy writing papers :(.... nevertheless... I'll still be here.. I actually could NEVER do a no carb diet.... I LOVE bread tooo much! but I am totally fine with the low carb diet, which I do. it's just a lil bread, but at least I get my fix, then I'm good again for another week or so.. :) hehee I love vegitarion food, as much as I have tried, I could manage doing a combo of the 2. which is very healthy eating. Rose31 - have you measured yourself? or do you just feel the loss in your clothes? I think that is the real teller.. you know even gym trainers always tell you to NOT weigh yourself, it doesn't matter becasue Muscle weighs more then fat, so you can lose 5 pounds of fat and gain 3 in muscle and you would weigh more then you did before.. that is why I am doing the Fat % test with the trainers at my gym. it tells you much more... by the way.. I'll do that fat loss % test again in another 2 weeks or so, lets see how I feel.. lol I'll keep everyone updated! :) |
| catpower1818 | posted 29-Sep-2008 4:55pm AZ, Rose: Thank you! Deni: Not all of us are "Big Girls" (I'm certainly not)... but keeping at a healthy weight is important to all of us! It gets harder as the years go by so at (almost) 26, I'm trying to get in as good a shape as possible now so I can stay that way later in life. Another added note: I have this belt that a few months ago, I could only use the widest notch. Now, the 2nd one is somewhat loose on me and I can squeeze down to the 3rd if I want. Definitely a noticeable difference in the mirror, and to other people. Of course, my mother accused me of being too thin before so you can imagine the comments I get now... I used to be naturally very skinny and there's nothing wrong with being that size again if I do it in a safe and healthy way, which I am. I eat! I just don't eat junk food or sugar and I stay as active as possible. I want to add that this product is very good at reducing cravings, especially for carbs and sweets. Cravings for those things are usually due to an imbalance in blood sugar levels. Leptitrex stabilizes blood sugar (I'm technically considered hypoglycemic, but since taking these pills I have a lot fewer days where my blood sugar is off.) Good luck everyone! |
| catpower1818 | posted 29-Sep-2008 5:04pm Question: What is this "fat % test" that everyone keeps talking about? How exactly do you test for somthing like that? I only know I'm losing fat by the way I look... |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 29-Sep-2008 5:04pm I just purchased my bottle and I must say that its my last ditch effort to lose fat. Im hoping that this will work within 4 weeks....at least 5 pounds gone out of my goal of 25. I am hopeful so we will see. I will post weekly results for those that were in the same boat as I was before I purchased, wondering if this product works or not. Hopefully I will shed this fat and build the muslce that I had before, again. Wish me luck! ps. Thanks to everyone who has posted on this site. It is a wonderful tool for people looking for some confidence in this Leptitrex pill. |
| AZ | posted 29-Sep-2008 5:16pm catpower1818 - the fat % test is given on a special scale that the trainers at my gym have. It has a handle that you told up straight, even with your shoulders, and it sends a current through your body and tells you what your fat% is. I don't know exactly how it works but it's pretty cool. - The trainers also advise that no one go by the BMI for that is out of date and not really so accurate. - also, I'm not exactly big either, I think that Deni was trying to make a point. Yes, everyone wants to get healthier, thinner, less fat on their bodies, that is why I am here, as well as everyone else..... Keep up the good work, and keep us updated! hearing results of others is always inspiring! |
| Rose31 | posted 29-Sep-2008 6:12pm AZ: I haven't measured myself but I can certainly feel it in my clothes. They were getting tight (which is what made me realize I needed to do something lol) but now they are actually feeling looser and I just feel better. I'm not a big girl either nor am I skinney but I try to stay at a certain weight and now that I've gone up I started freaking out lol so I decided to buy the leptitrex. I work out three times a week and walk everyday for at least 30 minutes so it's not a whole lot but it's something. Anyway, I would like to lose 10 pounds for sure and then 15 to 20 would be really nice. I figure if my clothes are feeling better and I feel less bloated then I think they're working in some ways for me! :) |
| Rose31 | posted 29-Sep-2008 6:25pm Mel: I meant to tell you before... you've done really well on these pills... I'm HAPPY for YOU!!! I know how hard it is to diet & lose weight so YAY for you!!! |
| Rose | posted 29-Sep-2008 7:03pm really sorry Rose31 didn't notice there was someone with the same name as me - nice to meet you and thanks for changing, hope it wasn't too much of a pain for you. Still going, not noticed much except I drink more (Alcohol) and definitely have less appetite - no weight loss and no lose clothes but have only 2 stone to lose so will give it a month. Skin isn't any better and think the botox is probably still the way for the wrinkles but feeling good so onward and downward |
| AZ | posted 29-Sep-2008 7:27pm that's great Rose31, glad to hear it! that is all that matters,that those clothes start falling off of ya!! that is what my "fat shorts" do. but I'm inbetween now... the fat shorts are falling off, but I can't yet fit comfortably in my "skinny" shorts, sooo I wear the fat ones with a belt.. LOL - I'm trying but I guess I can start to try harder... LOL ROSE - you arne't going to have any weight loss like that.. LOL - all those unwanted and unused calories in that alcohol... not good, taking these pills is not going to produce magic. lol - although we would all like it to. anyways... too everyone keep it up! good Luck! |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 10:33am AZ: Thanks for mentioning to me about NOT weighing myself because muscle weighs more than fat... that makes me feel better because... I said I was going to weigh myself today and I did... Today is my 2nd week on Leptitrex and I've lost only 2 pounds... I was hoping for at least 4 but 2 is better than nothing right :) Well all, like I mentioned before I do feel slimmer and my stomach feels flatter so I'm thankful for that. I'm gonna continue taking the pills and see how it goes, I only ordered one bottle to start with so that actually means I only have 2 more weeks left. I think I'll know by next week if I want to order more (more than likely I will) |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 30-Sep-2008 10:36am Wow...I bought my bottle through PayPal yesterday and I got notification this morning that it will ship today. Sweet! |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 10:44am Just an FYI: I ordered mine from Netraceutical.com and I got them in 2 days... I was really suprised to get them that fast but pleased. Only thing if you're going to buy more than one bottle at a time then it's better to order them from Leptitrex.com because they end up being cheaper. But if you only want to order one bottle to try them out first then Netraceutical.com was really good and they were 49.99 a bottle and 53.99 with tax. |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 10:47am Oh one more thing... the only thing about ordering them from a different company other than Leptitrex.com is I'm not sure about the return policy regarding the "life time guarantee" so that may be something to look into first also. |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 10:51am Just out of curiousity has anyone tried Anoretix? |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 30-Sep-2008 11:12am I havent...I was curious about that and Alli...anyone try that one as well? |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 11:33am ScorpionQueen: I was curious about Alli too??? |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 12:17pm I have some info about Alli - I never tried it becasue of this reason - If you read the label - it tells you to wear dark colors because you can have anal leakage! - ummm sorry, but that's not for me.. lol - They say it's becasue your fat is repelling the fat, so it goes right through your system, in turn, if you eat fat, it's going to go right through you, so if you have have constant bathroom with you, then I wouldn't suggest getting these.... This just doesn't seem right to me either... anyways.. lol -- that's my 2 cents about Alli :) |
| Anonymous | posted 30-Sep-2008 1:35pm Hi all...I've been following the thread for just a few days now. I just started taking the pills, on day 2. I've been getting really bad heartburn and feeling a tad bit nauseous with taking them. Did anyone else experience this? I was going to contact the company by email but figured I would get a quicker response here! Thanks! |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 30-Sep-2008 1:49pm AZ: Anal leakage...WTF and people are taking these??? Ohhh heck no!! I think I'll stick with these pills...no thank you! Anonymous: You may be sensitive to these types of pills? Are these your first diet aide pills? I found that with the Green Tea extract pills I got heartburn so I stopped taking them. The only ones I did not get heartburn with was Lipovox...but I found that those did not work for me...cleared my skin slightly but after two weeks I ditched the bottle because I found that I was still eating like a fat a$$. |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 2:07pm LOL ScorpionQueen - Anony.... you might want to try to eat a piece of cheese, that is what I did and it stopped.. just put a small big of protein in your stomach before you take the pills.... see if that works for you as well. |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 2:12pm I meant a small BIT of protein.. lol sorry.. |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:00pm AZ: How are you doing with the pills... any more noticeble results as far as looser clothes or anything like that? |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:12pm naa, I haven't had anymore.. I lost 5 pounds rather quickly, and can't seem to lose anymore... I'm trying to up the cardio, and eat as healthy as I can, (not so much at time :) ) but I'm trying.., trying to eat smaller meals 4 times a day, I just started that last week, not eating as late, eating more in the early hours rather then the late :( - I've also signed up for free bootcamps with my gym to see if that will help me any... anything at this point.. I mean I'm not big.. I weigh 145, but I think I just need to lose another 10 - 15 pounds to be skinny again! - but I'd be happy with 10 :) - I think this is why it's soo hard for me right now. - it sucks!!! thanks for asking... :) Also I must add... on the weekends I have been perodically forgetting to take my pills... :( I know I'm bad... I need to stick with it.. I lose motivation and get busy... |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:17pm I must say... when I am working out every day, and not eating badly, I can feel my stomach muscles tighter/toner.. but that's it... I can't get rid of my thighs and hips.... ggrrrrr women trouble spots... I'm going to keep trying though. |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:19pm Man, the weekends are the hardest part...cuz youre at home all comfortable and your work day structure isnt there....I hear ya. Weekend eating is hard to control. BOOOO on weekend eating. LOL  |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:31pm AZ: well we're kinda in the same situation then... I'm at 144 and want to lose about 10 pounds for sure, then 15-20 would be awesome... but for now my goal is the 10 pounds :) And weekends are tough for me also... it's also hard for me to eat small meals all day because I'm never hungry for breakfast then for lunch I'm hungry and then I like having dinner with family but other than that I don't like to eat all day long and I think that's what I need to do is eat a lot of lil healthly meals/snacks throughout the day... man why must losing weight be so tuff :( lol |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 3:35pm lol - I hear you guys... yeah, I'm going to give this 2 weeks of really busting my ass and see what happens.. I'll bug the trainers at my gym to help me out and also take that fat % test after the 2 weeks... see what kind of difference there is..... after one month on this stuff I've only lost .5% body fat... I mean I guess it's something but BLAH.... This is week 1 - soo at the end of next week we'll see... dum dum dummmmm hehehee :) |
| Deni | posted 30-Sep-2008 5:08pm catpower - i made that comment not to insult anyone but more so because of the comment that was made to me by hailey - she finished her post by addressing me as 'BIG Girl' and i thought there was no need for that as we are all here for a reason. I know that some of your start weights are where i want to be! i would be delighted at 145lbs...xx |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 5:14pm lol yeah I hear ya Deni - yeah we all have our own goals... some more unobtainable then others (like mine it seems :() but others definatly do-able! nevertheless - no more bickering! be positive and happy.. lol :) |
| Deni | posted 30-Sep-2008 5:18pm i took something which apparently is the same as alli, called xenical - Mine didn't have a warning sign on it though ! it should have... I had to throw away plenty of knickers but after a while i knew what caused it, roughhly when it happened and it is not nice. but the pills did work to start with, until i basically changed my diet so much that it no longer worked and i didn't need them anymore. if you eat a high fat diet it helps absorb 30% and that is what comes out... there is an over the counter pill which is approved and 100% herbal called proactol - which does the same job with NO side effects... |
| Deni | posted 30-Sep-2008 5:20pm Az - true, what's going on! i just want to lose weight and share it with someone for moral support. |
| AZ | posted 30-Sep-2008 5:36pm aawwww Deni - you will get there.. just keep up the high spirits... keep working out, have you tried eating the 4 small meals a day and bigger meals in the morning, and smaller at night and don't eat past 7pm? that is what I'm doing... see if it works.. |
| Rose31 | posted 30-Sep-2008 6:04pm Deni - I agree we are all on here for the same reason... to lose weight and be more healthy... we all have different goals we want to accomplish but all in all, we're all trying to lose weight regardless of the amount... and I think we all know how hard that can be :( so I think it's great if we can all share ideas and acomplishments... It's nice! :) |
| kathy | posted 30-Sep-2008 8:48pm hey i'm still waiting for my refund..my patience is really wearing thin with this company got an e-mail response from blackstone nutrition today but no credit so far to my visa..getting mighty pissed!!!

| AZ | posted 1-Oct-2008 10:19am Kathy, have you tried calling them and talking to them. Remember, be nice on the phone though, they will do more for you if you are as nice as possible... :) it just might work. |
| Deni | posted 1-Oct-2008 2:44pm az - yeah i've been doing that most of the time a while now - my lunch is normally the biggest and at night it is a snack, i do still have something after 7pm , like tea and fruit - because i get from work at 7pm, and dont sit down until around 9pm after i put the girls to bed! but no big meals... thanks rose31 - that is right we should keep chatting to each other, because we all understand each other a bit better - we get support from family and friends but they are not trying to achieve the same goal so motivation can dry up after the novelty wheres out!!xx kathy, did you see my post above about their response? i think they say it take around 14 days from when they rec. the pills. did you send it secure delivery so you can check when they got it? i need to send mine back to - don't have time to go to the post office! |
| catpower1818 | posted 1-Oct-2008 3:04pm Deni: No worries, I was never upset with you. Just wanted to paint a clear picture .I just want to say that these pills have changed my life. I am feeling healthy and happy. And for the first time in years I have normal amounts of energy again. I used to have chronic fatigue and it was really having a negative affect on my life... but enough about that, no need to focus on the past and on the negative. I am incredibly grateful that Leptitrex gave my my life back! I no longer need to eat a lot because my body is actually USING FOOD FOR ENERGY. I am completely off junk food. Yes, I'm serious. No junk food, no sugar, no caffeine, no alcohol. My body is very sensitive so the physical responses are immediate, and are not pretty. It's easy to quit something when every time you have it, it makes you sick. But beyond that, I love my body and could not imagine putting something in it that was unhealthy or artificial. I only get one body per lifetime, so I'm going to treat it with respect and love! NOTE: I am in no way suggesting that those who cannot completely eliminate junk food are failing in any way. I'm just expressing my excitement at finally getting myself, and my life, together. God knows I've had one hell of ride for someone who is only 25.... but thanks to a new positive attitude and these pills, I am more grateful and happy than I ever was before. Peace and love to all, and I wish everyone the best of luck! |
| ROXY | posted 2-Oct-2008 2:13am HEY YÁLL I'M SO EXCITED TO GET BACK ON LEPTITREX!!! I STOPED FOR A FEW MONTHS CUZ OF MONEY PROBLEMS BUT I'M GETTIN BACK ON NOW.. I LOST ALMOST 15 POUNDS IN ONE BOTTLE.. SO I'M DETERMIND TO LOSE 20 POUNDS TO REACH MY GOAL 130!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!! |
| tk | posted 2-Oct-2008 4:26am Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. I was waiting it out to see if I could report any changes. Looks like I missed some craziness in the form of a girl named Hailey. Uhh...rude. Anyway, I'll be finished with week 2 on Saturday and I'm proud to announce that nothing has happened! Jk. But seriously, I feel like I look thinner but my clothes don't fit any looser. I'm also afraid to weigh myself since I know it's supposed to be about inches lost and not pounds lost. I'm going to keep taking the rest of the pills and hope that I even see the slightest bit of difference. I did my first diet which was a way strict version of Atkin's when I was 19. I went from 165 to about 130 in 2 and half months. I maintained that 130 status until I was about 24. Then I was around 140 for about a year. I got a job as a teacher and got my first gym membership. I was going to the gym about 5-6 times a week and pretty much eating what I wanted since I lived by myself and had to buy for myself. In going to the gym, I lost about 8 pounds in about 2 months. I stayed at a nice 132 until... the husband came. I met him and have been gaining weight ever since. It seems to happen when I'm in a relationship. I guess people call that the "happy weight." But it sucks that now I can't lose any of it. I've tried copying the diets of yore with no results. I just don't think I have the willpower like I used to. I am not looking to be a size 2 or even a size 4. I've been a swimmer for 7 years and know that I will have more of an athletic build, but man, it sucks to gain weight so rapidly and try really hard and not lose anything. I've been going to the gym 4-6 days a week since the end of June and the only change I've seen is the scale go up. My clothes don't fit any looser; in fact, I've had to resort to buying the next size up because the clothes I wore at 145 don't fit nicely. I'm almost to the point of going to see a doctor because I think it might be a thyroid problem. I've changed my workouts. Tried doing more cardio, less weights. More cardio, more weights. I've tried eating solely protein and vegetables for a week straight. Even my husband is supporting me and making sure I eat healthy foods and not a lot of carbs. And since June, there has been nothing. Sigh....it's just so depressing. Why work so hard when there are no results? That's my pessimistic attitude coming out. But as shallow as this may sound I'm trying to get back to 130 (I'm around 152 right now) so that I can get pregnant and have a baby and not have to lose a lot of weight after the baby is born. I want to be at a healthy weight for the baby and with my height (5'4") I am about 10 pounds over the maximum for a 5'4" woman. Anyway--after my rant--I will be finishing this bottle and I hope to see a glimmer of hope. Also, my face totally broke out! I get acne sometimes around that good ol' time of the month, but this was crazy! It's starting to clear up, but all I could think is that it was the pills. I didn't like that. I hope everyone is being successful and I'll talk to you all soon! |
| Mel | posted 2-Oct-2008 7:22am Hi all...I seem to have trouble on the weekends too. I forget to take my pills. I'm almost done with my fourth bottle of Leptitrex and seem to be stuck. The scale is not moving...no more inches coming off. Have been at the same weight and inches for the last month and a half (I keep a daily chart). I still have two more bottles left and 20 more pounds to my goal weight of 140. I'm starting to get a little worried with the holidays quickly approaching. |
| deni | posted 2-Oct-2008 8:02am hello all tk - you made me laugh ! that was my experience too. catpower - i know your not upset with me. It's so good you are getting such a good response from it. well done. mel - whenever things go well for me and i tell people it stops! you were so well - but 140lbs - i wish i was 140lbs - i'd be skipping with joy!!! roxy - welcome back - good on you girl. i thought we lost you for good x |
| AZ | posted 2-Oct-2008 2:11pm tk - I really hate to tell you this but I when I got prego I was 22 and weighed about 115 - 120 pounds, and through the pregnancy I only gained baby weight, nothing else, I was all belly... As soon as I had her I weighed 160. I ate super healthy throughout my wholy pregnancy, I walked alot, I did everything they say you are suposed to do... sooo it doesn't matter how thin you are when you get prego, it's afterwards that HURTS!!!!! - I was depressed for a while, then got a personal trainer that kicked my ass into shape!!! - sooo just a lil tib-bit... |
| AZ | posted 2-Oct-2008 2:56pm Oh, I think I might need to add that I have never been for or over weight at all in my life, till after the lil one! - always weighing 115 - 120 - after working with the trainer I got to 130 but I was tone and had a great body! I was sooo proud of all my hard work! then a couple months later... MAJOR car accident and been struggling ever since! I haven't had the money to get the personal trainer again, they are Expensive, but I have to say... As much as I have sent on pills - I should just save it all up and get a trainer again.. I did it with no pills, no shakes, nothing, but food, healthy food! - anyways... I guess I'm just getting frustrated as well.... I haven't weighed myself but I can feel that I haven't lost anything in my thighs! tummy flatter yes, and it counts but when you look like a cow in a bathing suit it really SUCKS!!!! - ok it's been a bad last 2 days.. lol - I wont weigh myself till Sat Next week... sooo I'm really hopeing I lose something! if not.. I'm going to cry! |
| tk | posted 2-Oct-2008 3:45pm AZ--that's totally how I feel. Somedays I freak out because it seems like nothing fits and everything I try fails. Besides starving myself and working out incessantly, I've tried Slim Fast, South Beach, green teas, Hydroxycut, Intuitive Eating, you name it. All of them SUCK!! I do know some friends who have lost weight doing Weight Watchers. One of my good friends lost about 25 pounds. So maybe instead of spending my money on stuff that doesn't work, I should try something that does. Although, everyone is different. And just cause it worked for my friend, doesn't mean it will work for me. But I will still use this 1st bottle and keep with it. Stay hopeful. :) |
| AZ | posted 2-Oct-2008 4:08pm :( - yeah exactly how I feel.... but I really do think that I'm going to continue to take this cuz it's helping to flatten my tummy. but I think after what I have is gone I'm going to just save money and get a personal trainer! my gym is right on the corner from my house. I know it worked last time. I always ask the trainers to kick my ass, As long as I am told to do something I do it. No questions of crying! I've always been determined that way, but sometimes it's harder with no direct direction! ya know! :( - just sad |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 2-Oct-2008 5:52pm Ok so I got my bottle today and opened it to see what size these pills are and man, they smell like spices LOL! Makes me want to eat em now, but its too late in the day so tomorrow I start my quest. My goal is 25 pounds by the end of the year. I will keep you posted and let you know how week 1 went. to Mel: after a certain period of time, your body begins to hit a plateu and doesnt lose anymore weight. This is normal. If you are working out, change it up a little bit. Try a different cardio exercise and if you are doing weights as well, try doing a different exercise as well...once your body sees that you are doing something different to work your muscles, it will respond. Hope this helps. |
| Anonymous | posted 2-Oct-2008 10:38pm hey all. just ordered my first bottle yesterday. when i checked out the tracking info it said my package had been misrouted. UH-OH does that mean i'm not getting it? Has anyone had that? |
| am | posted 3-Oct-2008 10:45am hey everyone, i just ordered my first bottle on wednesday. still no tracking information available. i am super excited to try this since i think i have tried everything under the sun. you all give great advice. i am worried though that it is going to take forever to get to me. i did order it priority. i guess time will tell. |
| Anonymous | posted 3-Oct-2008 11:18am Hello Newbie's :) - I got my bottle in 3 days! wasn't long at all for me!... hope you guys get them so you can start...... Soooo - Remember I said I was going to start the bootcamps they have at my gym, well no one signed up so I ended up getting a 1 on 1 personal training session for free! OMG he kicked my booooty! - He also taught me a lot of new moves, and told me better things to do. I also talked to him about my thigh, hip problem. He said that that is usually the last thing to go for women. Sooo as my tummy flattens more and more, I will lose more of my hips and thighs.... ALSO - I told him about doing the Fat % test again at the end of next week... He advised me not to. He said.. well you can, but I really advise you to wait 4 - 6 week with the eating of 6 - YES 6 times a day!!! I told him that eating 4 was hard enough, but he said that if you eat 6 times a day it will send your Metabolism into Hyperdrive! he said at first your body will go into shock, then it will start losing!!!! - he said he has had 1 lady lose 12% body fat in 6 weeks doing that~!!!!! WOW!! soooo I urge all of you to try this with me... I'm excited to see my own results, and if anyone else decides to do this as well, I'm excited to see theirs as well...................... A Plan! - he said that when you get up that morning, or later at night, write out your eating schedule, if you have to, set your cell phone alarm, your wrist watch, something, to remind you to eat--- well at 6 times a day it's a snack! lol - but nevertheless.. SO- that I'm going to try and at the advise of the trainer, I'm going to wait 4 weeks.. :( - sooooo, is anyone going to join me on this challenge!!!!! WHose up for a lil excitement! .. lol - like we don't have enough in our lives now huh!! hehehee |
| AZ - | posted 3-Oct-2008 11:19am Hey.. sorry guys.. that's me up there..!! :) |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 3-Oct-2008 11:26am 6x a day AZ....I dunno...Im gonna feel like an oinker doing that LOL...jk. Hey ya know what...Im down...any lil thing to keep us motivated right. Ok, do on day one for me, I just took my first set of pills, I weigh 201. I go to the gym for 30 mins on my lunch 5 days a week and am gonna start going some weights after next week so....after 4 weeks right? I'll give you an update on the actual weight....sound like a plan stan? I will still give updates weekly as to how I feel, how my pants fit and all that but at the 4 week mark, I will give my actual weight. Woo Hoo.....here we go...our very own biggest loser!!! Sweet!! Who else wants to play?  |
| AZ - | posted 3-Oct-2008 11:57am Yeah I know SQ - 6 times a day... but at that point it's just small healthy snacks... a small salad for one... eggs for another... protein bar for another.... it's like you don't eat any REAL meals, I guess that is why you lose more,, you are not putting as much in your body at one time, so your body can actually burn it all up, thus losing more weight.... but I figured.. let's make it fun, ya know! - We can start this Monday!!! WHOO HOO!!! yeah! - I'm excited to see my body lose fat in hyper drive.. lol |
| AZ - | posted 3-Oct-2008 12:15pm By the way.. CONGRATS on being down ScorpionQueen! |
| JD | posted 3-Oct-2008 2:02pm Hello, I am new to chats but have thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed reading everyone's comments. They all have been very helpful and encouraging. I finally decided to take the Leptitrex plunge-based on research and all of the postings. My overall goal is to lose 15 lbs, but really I want to be lean and not focus so much on the scale. Lost 5 lbs. the first week and still holding at 5 lbs going with second week ending Sunday. I am eating fish, N/F yogurt, blueberries, apples, asparagus, broccoli, sweet potatoes, brown rice, legumes (edamame, black beans, etc.) chix breast, egg whites, whole wheat wraps, protein skakes, etc. Basically, I am trying to eat VERY clean. It's killing me sometimes but I know my body is getting the fuel that it needs. I also drink about 3 liters of water. I workout 6 days a week, doing cardio and about 3-4 doing weights (arms, legs, shoulders, tri's, bi's, etc.) Even though the scale isn't moving I feel like I am losing inches. I forgot to take my measurements. I will keep to push through like everyone else!! I hope this helps someone else! Again, thanks for all of your postings!!! |
| AZ - | posted 3-Oct-2008 2:07pm sounds like you are on your way JD! the scale usually doesn't just keep dropping, it will sustain for alil bit, then drop again, My trainer told me that sometimes your body goes into shock, then it will start back up again! |
| Anonymous | posted 3-Oct-2008 2:10pm Has anyone experienced any negative effects? I am a little nervous I am going to start smelling like garlic and cheyanne pepper by the smell of the pills.. Has anyone been sucessfull in sending the pills back and receiving a refund? |
| ZZ | posted 3-Oct-2008 3:28pm Yeah, that's another reason why I stopped taking them. My urine was starting to stink like the pills. How attractive. :) |
| AZ - | posted 3-Oct-2008 3:30pm ZZ - umm who else is smelling your pee!!! lol - I haven't heard of anyone smelling of any of the spices that are in the pills... that's a new one on me! |
| tk | posted 4-Oct-2008 1:38am Hey Guys! Anonymous--the only negative effects I had were the burning in my stomach and the acne. I actually broke out but now it's getting better. I eat a string cheese with my first set of pills in the morning otherwise it burns like crazy. But that's all the negatives I've had. Oh and not losing anything. haha. ;) So I tried on a pair of my jeans today that were getting too tight about 2 weeks ago and in the thigh area I can actually grab a little fabric now. I wasn't too excited because the waist didn't seem to fit any better but maybe I'm starting to lose some inches in my butt/ thigh area. I was excited for that at least. I'm heading into week 3 so it's all downhill from here. The next 14 days will determine if I go for bottle two. Stay tuned. |
| monkey | posted 4-Oct-2008 4:20pm I just ordered a couple of bottles. I'm not looking for a miracle in a bottle, but at this price, I sure hope it works. Anyway, I'm noticing several people who have lost weight, but many that say they haven't and are very disappointed. My question is, "How many people whom did not lose weight actually work out?" I'm doing P90X by beachbody.com. This is an intense workout series and I've lost about 5 lbs in 3 weeks with only protein shakes as a supplement. Again, another way to really see if the pills are having any effect is to take a measure of your body fat using calipers from different parts of your body; don't just go by the scales. |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 5-Oct-2008 2:05am lmao AZ(who is smelling your pee)!! |
| dijavu | posted 5-Oct-2008 11:53am Greets! Really amazing. keep working! Tnx! |
| Nika | posted 5-Oct-2008 8:57pm Hey dieters! I've been on a big trip from work and ... *sigh* .. forgot the pills!! *facepalm* Such a stupid thing to do really, and I just got them. But oh well, I'll start taking them right tomorrow morning. I've also started with Atkins and am really quite happy with it. The strict no carb phase is tough, but it seems to make sense to grow into low carb through induction. I had been thinking about starting Atkins for quite a while and now that I forgot the pills at home I had the pressing need to do *something*, so I just went ahead and started. In just the few days I lost about 5 pounds, I'm so happy! Some of it might be water, but I was on a diet before as well as watching what I ate, so I'm not sure. But anyways, I'll continue with taking the pills and doing Atkins at the same time. Thinking about it, shouldn't Atkins be perfect with the pills? You're supposed to eat mainly high protein foods anyways. Or are there any significant carb/sugar amounts in the pills that I don't know about? I'm still motivated, I hope everyone else is as well! Keep it up! : ) |
| am | posted 6-Oct-2008 10:26am Hey everyone! I did receive my order on Saturday. I started this morning. Already I feel energy. It is great to hear everyone's stories. I am not sure about the whole "smelling the pee" thing. That is too funny! I would agree that you definitely need to work out and eat healthy with any diet that you do. There is no miracle in a bottle. But I am expecting great results and I sure hope I don't have disappointment as others have. Good luck everyone and keep your head up. A positive attitude makes all of the difference in the world. |
| AZ - | posted 6-Oct-2008 12:22pm Hello all, well I woke up this morning sick! :( I hate being sick... I'm going to still try to eat my 6 small portions, but we'll see how it goes. I might end up sleeping through a couple of them... Although I do have to say, that on Friday I tried to do it and ended up only eating 5 times, becasue I just couldn't eat anymore.... but on that last meal, I swear I took no more then 10 small bites and I was done! I felt like I was stuffing myself. soo If that is the way it's going to be.. I'm going to be HAPPY doing the 6 meals a day. Barley eating anything, but 6 times a day, and you feel completly full!!! Weight loss here I come!! hehee Good Luck everyone! |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 6-Oct-2008 2:32pm Day 4 of taking the pills. I can fit a pair of jeans that I wasnt able to fit into a couple weeks ago but it could be water weight...Im gonna weigh myself to see if Ive lost anything. I started working out two weeks before taking these pills so we'll see if its given me an edge. I'll keep ya posted. Day 1 of our 4 week challenge...we'll see how this goes...Im not feelin well either today so im not looking forward to the gym. I noticed the burning sensation in my stomach as well when I take them. What I found that helps is along with my 16-20oz of water that I drink w the pills, I also drink a protein shake to help cool off that burn. What Ive noticed is that Im fuller longer and the burn isnt there. Im also not as HOT and sweaty as i was the first two days. STAY POSITIVE LADIES!! |
| Frankie | posted 6-Oct-2008 4:13pm Hello all! I started my pills today as well. I followed some of the advice and had some string cheese along with my first 2 pills this morning and didn't experience any burning. I have a ton of energy today as well, but that could just be anticipation of the "new me"!! I'm not a "power" exerciser, but do walk 2 miles at least 5 times a week. Also, I eat fairly healthy, but am trying to do "no carbs" to "low carbs" to get my weight loss started. In addition, I'm drinking water, water, water. I had 2 cups of coffee at home and then started the water as soon as I got to work. I do plan to increase my exercise plan, but also have a 3-year old. Does that count as an exercise program in itself?? By the way, I'm 40 years old, currently weigh 190.5 lbs (but am considered "solid", so I guess I wear it well), and am 5'-8" tall. My doctor has told me that, with my frame and body type, I should ideally weigh between 170-175. Wish me luck!! |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 6-Oct-2008 5:55pm Frankie: I have the same issue with my size/weight. I wear it well because Im naturally an athletic person. 175 is my goal weight too! Good luck to ya girlie!! |
| Roxy | posted 6-Oct-2008 8:04pm Hey ya'll I've been trying to order Leptitrex online but for some reason I can't get thru to purchase!!!!.. I'm anxious... is anybody going thru this??? |
| Frankie | posted 7-Oct-2008 10:33am Day #2 and I was down from 190.5 to 188.9. I'm sure it's all of the water I've been drinking, but I definitely have more energy. I told myself I wasn't going to eat after 7 p.m. last night, and although I thought about it, I resisted the temptation - and it wasn't hard at all! I'm trying to set an example for my husband and hopefully he'll jump on the bandwagon as well. We've both been pretty hard on ourselves for the weight we've both gained and need to get back on track!! |
| AZ - | posted 7-Oct-2008 12:37pm ScorpionQueen - how did you do with your 6 meals yesterday? I only got to 5. - but I was sooo full at 7pm when I ate dinner...a turkey burger..Now that I'm feeling better, I'm going to be eating the 6 meals and going to the gym later on tonight. Hope things are going well. Congrats Frankie on the loss! it's always a Booster to see the scale go down! |
| desperate | posted 7-Oct-2008 1:49pm I Have been trying to purchase another bottle and I click on it like I ususally do and nothing happen. Help |
| desperate | posted 7-Oct-2008 1:50pm Hey Roxy, I see you are having the same problem as I am. I don't see a number anywhere to call either. I am out and I really need to order more. |
| Roxy | posted 7-Oct-2008 2:15pm Hey ya'll... I just got an email back from sales@leptitrex.com.. Saying they sold out.. They don't know when they'll be getting them back in.... I'm anxious!!!! |
| desperate | posted 7-Oct-2008 2:57pm oh no, sold out. i am in a wedding in two weeks, i am afraid not to have any. does anyone have any other suggestions for pills. has anyone had luck over the counter with anything? |
| AZ - | posted 7-Oct-2008 3:36pm e bay, google it, and you have have other sites you can purchase it.... DENI - where are you!!??? did we lose you?? |
| desperate | posted 7-Oct-2008 3:46pm I don't have an account with ebay, i have been searching and no luck. it keeps brining me to a pill called proactal, but it is 100.00. let me know if anyone finds it on another site. My clothes are fitting better and I seem to be losing, I don't want to stop taking it. Also I love that I do not have any bad side effects like I have with other diet pills. |
| AZ - | posted 7-Oct-2008 4:05pm well it takes 2 -3 mintues to create an account on E bay... not a big deal.... I haven't searched it so I don't know too much!! |
| desperate | posted 7-Oct-2008 4:30pm okay thanks, i will try e-bay and see how much they are going for. |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 7-Oct-2008 5:49pm AZ: I tried the six meals and only made it to four. But Im building up. Ive lost 5lbs but Im guessing its just water weight but Im staying optimistic. My job just approved a 3 day hour and a half lunch for the gym so Im pretty excited about that. We'll see how it goes after a full week; Im hoping for a solid 5 lb loss but we'll see. Glad youre feeling better. |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 7-Oct-2008 5:49pm ps. Did you get headaches at first with these pills....on my second dose I usually get a headache about 2-3 hours afterwards...I drink plenty of water so I was just curious if anyone else was experiencing headaches. |
| AZ - | posted 7-Oct-2008 7:28pm cool SQ :) - and no, I don't get headaches. The only thing that happened to me was the Tummy Burn! but I'm ok now, I just eat a small bit of cheese. I made it to 5 meals...it's hard isn't it.!! it's like you are sooo full, even though you are eating tiny portions.. I was thinking of making them even smaller to see how many meals I can get in there... more cardio, more weights... it's going to be tough! but I'm going to really try hard to get this done! I'm soooo sick and tired of carrying around this extra weight! :( |
| monkeyman | posted 7-Oct-2008 10:58pm Just started the pills today along with my girlfriend. Both of us had fluttering heart rates throughout the day. Anybody else felt this? No headaches though. I can't really comment on a first day weight loss. I have lost weight, but I got food poisoning today as well. So, I'll comment when I actually break through the 190 plateau. |
| tilly | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:05am Omg!!! Everybody Leptitrex has run out for good. They won't be making there pills no more!!!!!! |
| desperate | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:08am I guess we'll be fatasses forever |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 8-Oct-2008 10:39am LMAO @ desperate!!! Tilly: Who lied to you? Guys, day 6 of these pills and Im feeling alright...havent noticed a significant amount of weight loss besides the 5lbs of H2O weight...and WTF too...how can you hold 5lbs of water in your body just for no damn reason....WTF! LOL. But my body is a bit of a slow "learner" so it may just be taking a while to kick into gear...I start my weight sessions today so maybe that will help too. How is everyone else doing. ps. The headaches went away after this weekend. I dunno what the deal was....maybe it wasnt Lept related. |
| desperate | posted 8-Oct-2008 10:50am Tilly who told you they are out for good? I never received a response from sales@leptitrex.com I do go on e-bay last night and there was one seller, but they have never sold anything before so I obviously won't by from them not knowing if it is a scam. Not what everyone if these are never coming back? Has anyone else done reserach on any others? And advise would help, I am officialy out and I am down a pant size and lost 15lbs since March. |
| desperate | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:08pm Hi all, I just received the response from customer service. It doens't sound good. see below We are completely sold out. We most likely will not be receiving any shipments under the name Leptitrex. What I hear from the manufacturer is that they will be changing the name and packaging but we haven't heard when that will be happening. Thanks, Yolanda Customer Relations Leptitrex.com |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:23pm Well Damn...Tilly, I stand corrected. Desperate: F**k!! All: BOOOOOOO on the unknown of changes...oh well. It was fun while it lasted. |
| AZ - | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:27pm WOW - does that mean that this thread/ blog will no longer exist?? :( where will we all go!?? - just keep up the exercise and everything else we are doing, the weight will come off.. Don't fret! You don't need a pill to eat right and go to the gym and work out on a regular basis! |
| desperate | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:33pm I am afraid the weight will come right back now. I know in the past I was taking weight loss pills and I now find that is bad, we need fat loss pills. I am continuing to do research. I need that boost. Let me know if you come across any that sound okay. I will do the same. |
| AZ - | posted 8-Oct-2008 12:54pm I'm done with pills after this... I'm going to do what I did before to lose all my fat! Personal trainer! - If this stays open, it would be nice to see what directions everyone takes and what the outcome is... soo everyone, if you are no longer taking the pills, it would still be nice to know what is working for some and not for others...... :) ya know!! |
| Deni | posted 8-Oct-2008 1:41pm I am here - going through crap at home all you need when trying to lose weight!!! Have lost a couple of lbs with the tea but nothing major...xxx |
| AZ - | posted 8-Oct-2008 2:17pm Awww Deni, I'm sorry to hear that! - well try to keep your head up, hope to hear some better news soon! from both of our ends!!!! lol |
| Roxy | posted 8-Oct-2008 10:32pm I havnt been taking these pills since july 2008 and I lost almost 15 pounds on one bottle... and have retained my weight... that's why I been trying to purchase the bottle again.. I am soooo bummed I really am cuz Leptitrex really did work it was a big booster for me... if anybody finds anything effective please let me know. |
| desperate | posted 9-Oct-2008 10:26am I hear ya Roxy. It has really helped me as well. I did alot of reserach yesterday on different pills and alot of them were 90.00 to 100.00 and there is no way I could afford that, and some of the sites seemed a little sketchy. So I went to Walgreens last night and bought xenadrine. I have taken this before. It was 30.00. I figure it might not work as well, but I feel I need a booster with my diet and exercise. So we'll see, I will keep you posted. I took my first one this am and then drank a protein/low carb shake like I did with Leptitrex and I am not feeling any bad side effects. |
| ROXY1 | posted 9-Oct-2008 12:31pm I hope it works for you.. I've tooken zantrax3 and that made me feel like I was on crack... tnen I took hoodia That did nothing for me I've tried a lot... I just need a hunger supperessant.. I did some research as well and I think ima try METABOLIFE ULTRA CAFFIENE FREE...its suppose to curb hunger... so ima try and keep you updated.. Take care and Good luck to all!!!! |
| ROXY1 | posted 9-Oct-2008 6:52pm Has anybody tried buying Leptitrex from ebay??? |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 10-Oct-2008 10:37am Whoever that seller is on eBay has 98 bottles of Lept...grab them! If they arent real, you can send it back for a full refund and if the seller wont refund, paypal will. May take about 2 weeks but you'll get your $ back. |
| AZ - | posted 10-Oct-2008 11:24am Soooo Scorpion Queen, how are you doing with eating the 6 meals a day! I thought I gained weight actually, but weighed myself this morning and I've lost 3.3 pounds!! WOW!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I'm almost at 140 - just need another 10 pounds to go!!! slowly but surely getting there. |
| desperate | posted 10-Oct-2008 12:42pm Yeah, I have tried most of the over the counter pills and they make you jittery. That's what I loved about Leptitrex there was no side effects. I figured I would give it a shot. Today is day two and I feel better than I did yesterday so we'll see. I noticed that there is one seller on e-bay, but haven't giving it a try, i was a bit skeptical ordering pills off of someone that has no reputation on e-bay. I wonder why they are pulling leptirtrex, the lady said if it comes back it will be under a different name and packagaing. I wonder?? |
| AZ - | posted 10-Oct-2008 1:06pm Have any of you tried Nutrisystem?? when I was 160 pounds, I did, and I lost 15 pounds in 2 months!!! it seems expensive, but for all the food you get, it saves in grocery bills - I lost it and only gained 5 pounds back, but didn't go on it again since.... just an idea you might want to try.... but yeah, I'm just saving for my personal trainer!!! I'm determined to look HOT!!! in my bikini next summer!!! HOT HOT HOT!!! lol |
| am | posted 10-Oct-2008 4:27pm Hey all! Well I am really impressed with the Lepitrex. I feel the best I have felt in a long time. I am on day 4 and have lost 3 lbs. I feel great. I am rather disappointed that they are not producing Lepitrex under the same name or packaging anymore. This makes me worry that they will also change the ingredients too. I guess I will just keep on exercising and eating small portions 6 times a day and finish out my bottle. Good luck to everyone. |
| ROXY1 | posted 11-Oct-2008 12:52am Omg!!! I think I regret it!!! I automatically bought the pills on ebay and have not heard back from the guy!!!!.. I'm so pist!!!

| Rose | posted 12-Oct-2008 5:03pm on the website review of diet pills along with Fenphedra, have ordered the latter but with a few misgivings we shall see |
| ROXY1 | posted 12-Oct-2008 11:40pm I wouldn't trust |
| ROXY1 | posted 12-Oct-2008 11:44pm I wouldn't trust... most websites you go to are fake, the ratings and all about it |
| desperate | posted 13-Oct-2008 12:49pm Roxy, Have you heard back from the seller on e-bay? I am still taking Xenadrine RF-1 or A something like that, but I get headaches and fill jittery. With Leptitrex, I did not get these feelings. |
| ROXY1 | posted 13-Oct-2008 3:55pm Desperate that's not good!!!...hold off on the piils and I'll let you know if this ebay guy is good.. Then you can order Leptitrex from him.. He has less then 100 bottles left! I actually did hear back , thank god.. I should be receiving it 3 to 7 bussiness days I ordered it on the 9th.. Hopfully sooner! |
| desperate | posted 13-Oct-2008 4:19pm oh okay perfect, let me know how it goes. Thank You |
| ROXY1 | posted 14-Oct-2008 10:42am Hey desperate, my email is miss_latinqueen@tmail.com.. In case this chain diapears |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 14-Oct-2008 11:14am Hi Ladies, Sorry for the late reply; Ive been a little busy with planning this wedding. Miss AZ: The six meals are actually going good. I have managed to do it 4x a week and am building up to all 7 days because there are some days where I can only hold in 5 little meals. Ive lost the 5 lbs but nothing more...I think my body is just lagging big time on losing the fat but Im holding strong. I will probably buy another bottle off of the eBay guy and when I do, I will spread the news...good or bad. But I usually trust eBay sellers so we will see...Im a little sceptical still...but am going to do it anyway. I think this stuff ROCKS!! HOWS EVERYONE ELSE DOING??? |
| ROXY1 | posted 14-Oct-2008 1:38pm What ebay guy scorpionqueen?.... sadley to say I got a message from the ebay guy.. "Yourlifenutrion" who he is and he refunded my money cuz he said Leptitrex was sold out so there's no way he can sell it.. So I'm bummed out now.. I was thinkin of trying metabolife caffiene free... anyone try it?.. I'm gonna try it |
| ScorpionQueen | posted 14-Oct-2008 2:42pm ROXY:  Same guy.I havent tried anything else except Lipovox and a green tea extract type pills....both not as helpful as leptitrex...by far. |
| BB | posted 14-Oct-2008 2:57pm I started back again - but now I am doing P90X along with diet and the pills. I will let ya know how it's going next week. So far Tony Horton is kicking my butt on these videos! |
| gmahler | posted 15-Oct-2008 8:38pm I just recieved a shipment using Ebay and had no issues with the seller named fibersyn, who has many transactions and positive feedback...however, when I went back to make sure of his name, I noticed that he is no longer selling Leptitrex..in fact, when I did a search on EBAY for other sellers, there were none...so do I now have the last three bottles? |
| ROXY1 | posted 16-Oct-2008 3:05am I hate you!!!! Above |
| kitty2 | posted 16-Oct-2008 5:21am hey all been taking leptitrex for a week now and all i can say is wow!! ive dropped 10lb and feel fantastic!!! if any1 is worried about a hot burning sensation, bare with it!! i too had it it soon goes!!! |
| BB | posted 16-Oct-2008 9:02am I have already lost 4lbs in 3 days! Hope it keeps coming off. Who ever suggested a bite of cheese with the pills, Thanks it totally takes care of the burning and sick feeling. These pills just make you feel better - and with no side effects. Good Luck Everyone! |
| BB | posted 16-Oct-2008 9:03am Kitty 2 - Congrats on the 10lbs! Are you eating a specific diet plan or doing any exercise along with these pills? |
| gmahler | posted 16-Oct-2008 7:29pm So now I guess the question can be raised, if you find yourself running low of Leptitrex and cannot find the product, what will you do? 1. Take nothing and see if you continue with the weight loss using the exact same diet and exercise program that you used while taking the pills? 2. Take nothing but change your diet and exercise program in anticipation of potential weight gain? 3. Find an alternative product such as DecaSlim, Ephedrasil Hardcore, or Anoretix? |
| kitty2 | posted 17-Oct-2008 4:59am thanks bb!!! yes sticking away from the carbs and eating plenty of protein... chicken, tuna, salmon, lean bacon and plenty of eggs!!! and exercise is just walking on a treadmill for 20mins!!!! congrats on ur 4lbs though keep it up!!! |
| AZ | posted 17-Oct-2008 2:34pm Gmahler - what are you going to do??? I've already stated what I'm going to do... but I'm just curious what you are going to do?? |
| gmahler | posted 17-Oct-2008 7:21pm Well AZ, luckily I have 3 months before I need to decide since I managed to acquire 3 bottles from Ebay, so it will depend on how much more I need to lose at that point in time.... |
| AZ | posted 20-Oct-2008 11:02am yeah I have 2 more bottles myself... So we will see where I stand. I think in the end the personal trainer will be the best bet for me. - Just need to get past these crazy Holidays without gaining all the lost weight back. :( |
| AZ | posted 23-Oct-2008 12:06pm soooo did everyone drop off the site or what?? |
| desperate | posted 23-Oct-2008 12:17pm Hi everyone, So I am still taking the xenadrine, mo more side effects. I had them the first week. I was walking 2 1/4 miles about 3-4 times a week and doing good not eating alot of crabs. This past week, I have not walked and have been splurging but I still weigh myself daily and have not gained any weight staying at 142. I still have weight to lose, so I need to get back on track and continue walking and watch the carbs. The weather is colder so I am hungry, or leptitirex really did work, cause I wasn't not hungry on it. How is everyone else doing? I would be happy to lose 10 more lbs. If I could get to 130 I would take it. I realize I will never be a size 4 anymore. lol |
| AZ | posted 23-Oct-2008 12:23pm I'm right there with you Desperate.. I keep losing track of my goal. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to post picts of my in a bikini all around my house so that I can constantly be reminded that I need to get my BUTT to the gym .. lol - and it's bad becasue my husband is an enabler.. he needs to go too, but if I say I don't want to, he will be like.. "OK" and that's it.... but when I want to.. I MAKE him go.. I wish he would do the same for me.. Just call me FAT, that's enough to get me up and going again..... Nevertheless.. I can't remember to keep taking the pills, I was never good at that!!! - but I'm trying, as well as trying to eat 6 times a day. I have been doing well with the food intake. haven't weighed myself... just got off "that time" so I'm a lil worried.. lol - but we'll see... maybe later.. hehee :) Got home from School this morning and went on a jog before I started work, so that was nice..... well... Hope everyone keeps updateing.. I like to read them.. it's always encouraging.. if not, then maybe it'll push others to work harder... :) - |
| fegi | posted 24-Oct-2008 10:10pm So what are we going to do without leptitrex????? I need help!!!!! I bought lepovox and its not the same!!!! Im begining to wonder if something wrong happened with the pills, why they stop making the pills if the pills work??? Somebody.... I need help!!! Im desperate..... |

| catpower1818 | posted 27-Oct-2008 8:52am Hey all, I recently ordered two more bottles from a seller on ebay and I recieved them within 4 days. In could only afford 2 bottles but the seller had 98 when I ordered. |
| AZ | posted 27-Oct-2008 11:09am WOW!!! - I think hormonal is hungry!! she said she doesn't eat! I think that is why she is so angry!.... lol - anyways...I just wanted to say Hello, I'm still working out 5 days a week, and eating well, but I have to admit that my Husband and I have been drinking (alcohol) more then we should!! and that has contributed to the weight gain, no matter if we are eating the 6 meals a day and exercising 5 days a week, it's still not enough to counter-act the alcohol, and I knew that... Just been tired and ...... ok no excuses, I need to stop and I know it! it's a new week, and it's back on track for me! - I have still been taking the Liptitrex, don't feel any different anymore, I wonder if my body got used to them... oh well, I will continue till they are gone... good luck everyone! |

| desperate | posted 28-Oct-2008 5:56pm wow skinny bioootch, the bioootch part, fits you perfect. who the hell do you think you are saying all that crap to all of us. not everyone is fortunate (genes) to be able to eat what you want and stay skinny. oh i forgot you don't eat. that's practical. what the hell are you doing on this site anyway if you are so perfect. if i was so skinny the last place i would be is on a diet pill website bitch!!!! by the way, i eat healthy and do exercise, that doesn't always work. i feel so sorry for your 5 kids to have a bitch as mom as you. get a life!!!! |

| AZ | posted 4-Nov-2008 11:04am EV if you read above, it seems that Liptitrex has stopped making the product.

| desperatin | posted 7-Nov-2008 5:53pm they changed the name already? I literally just ordered a free trial bottle of Trislim, it says it was talked about on the news and web md. It says you can cancel at any time, and there is a free sample, I am going to give it a shot I think. let me know if anyone gets the leptorexin and where? |
| Roxy1 | posted 7-Nov-2008 6:05pm Hey yall!..Desperatin... go to www.leptorexin.com... it basically the same as leptitrex... hey anybody on Leptorexin?? Please let me know how its doing? |
| Lisa | posted 9-Nov-2008 11:49am Hello!, I got leptorexin a few days ago before I knew it's previous name. I'm glad I found this site! I've lost 3 pounds in 4 days, but I'm still being skeptical because I'm afraid it'll stop working or that its all water weight. I'm already wondering if they honor their return policy, lol. I got 2 bottles, and I kinda wish I had just ordered 1. I've been dieting and getting light exercise for the past 2 months and had already lost 19 pounds, but I wanted results faster. About me, I'm 19, 5'3 and now 161.6 pounds. I wonder if I'm the only one that doesn't feel that great on these pills. I think they mess with my head a bit. I don't feel quite right, so today I'm going to take 4 instead of the normal 6. I don't have a racing heart though, which is definitely good! Oh, I get that burning sensation without food too. |
| Lisa | posted 9-Nov-2008 2:55pm Oh, actually, I lost 19 pounds in about 2 and a half months. I would have been happier if it were 2 months though, haha. |
| Lisa | posted 10-Nov-2008 7:18am Huh...so yesterday I ended up eating more that normal (friends' fault) and the peeing effect stopped yesterday as well and I'm at 164 again. Hm. That'd discouraging, but I'll do well today. Oh, I opted to take 6 after all. They didn't make me feel weird yesterday. |
| AZ | posted 10-Nov-2008 12:08pm Lisa, I feel your pain, I've been on these pills for a couple of months and honestly I think the only thing that they are doing for me is making my food intake a bit smaller. I've started eating 5 - 6 times a day to keep it small and to help my metabolism go, but other then that.... NOTHING has happened! I lost 5 pounds almost right away after started taking these, and now.... Stabilized! SOOO, I'm trying out some new things... #1 - Karve Pilates! I have read nothing but GOOD results from this. #2 Cut out any alcohol beverages except 1 time a week, and on that night, I only have 2 drinks! - This is our Family Poker Night.... I'm eating More Veggies, and less fat, trying to cut out as much as I can... Exercising 2 times a day for about 30 minutes to 1 hour a piece now.... I don't know what else to do.. :( - this sucks! - soooo Let's give this a couple of weeks and If I don't lose anything by 2 weeks, then something is seriously wrong with my Body!!! - Good Luck on the Journy everyone |
| Lisa | posted 10-Nov-2008 1:23pm Aw, that must be so frustrating! =( I think I'd have given up if I didn't get anywhere in a few months! Why not try a different pill? I hear eating small meals is good, but it's not for me. I don't like eating just a little at once b/c it takes too long to get my mind off food after that, lol. The pills do seem to be suppressing my appetite I think, but I've already been drinking a wolong and pu-erh tea blend that does that too. I'm too lazy to get more exercise than the 40 minutes I get a day walking around campus and the 5 flights of stairs a few times a day. =P Well, once or twice a week I do sit ups and life weights for 15-20 min, but that's not much either, haha, but it's enough that I feel like I use my muscles. =) |
| AZ | posted 10-Nov-2008 5:33pm Yeah, I've given up on pills... I've lost all of the weight before by just exercising with a Personal Trainer. So, I know i can do it. Just need to do something different now because my body is used to doing what I am doing now. soo that is why I am changing it up a lil..... I'm 5'4 and weigh between 140 - 150 - but trying to get down to 130 (goal #1) 120 (goal #2) - I'm hoping that I can do it with these extra classes I'm going to take. |
| Chels | posted 13-Nov-2008 2:18am Hi guys. i bought a pill called leptorexin? is it similar to the one you guys are talking about? |
| AZ | posted 13-Nov-2008 11:19am It's suposed to be the same thing, just different name... I think someone bought it out and just changed the name of it. |
| Chels | posted 13-Nov-2008 8:24pm ah. i see. it's my second day on it. im down 4.5 pounds but thats probably only due to the fact that theres only a little bit of food in my stomach and ive been using the bathroom a lot. but who knows. maybe it was fat that was burned.... |
| AZ | posted 14-Nov-2008 9:37am It's water weight. When you first start taking these pills you lose water weight. I lost 5 pounds right away then nothing else... soo good luck with the loss. There are others on this site that have lost a lot of weight... but not I. |
| Roxy1 | posted 15-Nov-2008 2:45am Don't give up Chels, or anybody... I lost 13 pounds on one bottle... these pills are really good.. But they aren't for everyone.. But you may be one of many so stick with it till the end.. At the begining it was really slloowwww... twards the end that's when I lost a whole bunch o weight. And kept it off |
| Roxy1 | posted 15-Nov-2008 2:45am Don't give up Chels, or anybody... I lost 13 pounds on one bottle... these pills are really good.. But they aren't for everyone.. But you may be one of many so stick with it till the end.. At the begining it was really slloowwww... twards the end that's when I lost a whole bunch o weight. And kept it off for a few months now I'm gonna order some more |
| Chels | posted 18-Nov-2008 1:07am yeah... i really just don't want to have another failed attempt at losing weight. im putting all my hope into this. it was my sixth day on them i believe today. i weiged myself after i ate which was a bad idea cuz that made me gain 1.5 pounds... but im really koping to lose a lot of weight. i have three bottles and i constently eat protein and healthy food and take walks every day for about 35 minutes. |
| AZ | posted 21-Nov-2008 12:37pm Sooo, it seems as though everyone has left here. but has any of you thought about getting the Bodybugg. It tells you how many calories you need to eat and how many you need to burn a day in able to lose the weight..... It's really cool and a real eye opener.I just got one and I thought I was pretty active before and apparently I'm not. I go to the gym at least once if not twice a day, and I walk the dogs, I thought I was good..... NOPE! I needed to burn more calories then I was intakeing becasue I wasn't burning what I needed to I wasn't losing weight.THis is a MUCH better investment in your health then pills. Placeing junk into your body when you don't need it. just get your boottie moving more, burn more calories and eat the right things and the right amount of calories.... |
| gmahler | posted 28-Nov-2008 8:40pm They must have just cut and pasted the new name on the old web page as they still have this sales pitch gem on the site: "How many bottles should I order? We have DEEP discounts for multi-bottle purchases which most customers take advantage of. Due to recent word of mouth and national news stories about Leptorexin we expect to sell out within the next 24 hours. All orders are limited to 4 bottles so we can serve as many customers as possible. Here is a list of the most popular purchasing options in order of most commonly used to least:...." So I guess this product will vanish and a new one will pop up, perhaps named "Leptitrextrexin" |
| desperate | posted 1-Dec-2008 5:46pm Hi All, I haven't been on in awhile. Slacking with everything lately. I stopped eating healthy and working out, which is so bad I know. The latest pill I orderes was the free sample bottle for TRI Slim, but I never did order cause they make you buy 3 bottles at once and I can't afford that. So I have pretty much given up on pills, and really need to get back to my low carb diet and working out again. I got engaged a couple of weeks ago, and my goal is to be 120 at my wedding. I have 20 to lose. This is just such a bad time of year to diet and exercise. lol |
| Roxy1 | posted 1-Dec-2008 7:03pm Hey yall, well I just received my bottle today and am excited to lose wait... I know I will cuz I lost almost 15 pounds on one bottle months ago .. So I'm hopefull all I need to lose is 30 pounds to be 120 for one in my life.. Desperate, be hopful and goodluck in whatever you do.. I still would like to read sucesses on this pill its really good. |
| Chels | posted 3-Dec-2008 2:05am ive dropped 1 pant size. =] went from a 12 to a 10. im happy because i stopped taking leptorexin for a week and i didnt have any significant weight gain. im back on them and went to the store and tried on size 10 and they fit very comfortably. yay! |
| Anonymous | posted 3-Dec-2008 11:12am It's good to hear that some of you are having luck on this pill.. I didn't go anywhere.. :( |
| Roxy1 | posted 3-Dec-2008 11:32pm Yayyy!!!.. I'm glad.. Yes the best part of this pill was that there is no weight gain if you decide to stop.. I stopped taking the pills (due to financial reasons) for 3 months and didn't go up one bit I only lost 3 pounds on my own.. So now I'm back on them so I will keep everyone posted!... these pills only work with high protien diet .. And stick to it. |
| Chels | posted 11-Dec-2008 11:18pm I think this pills are working. I think you start to notice it after awhile. I didnt have much weight to lose. 30 pounds altogether. Ive been on this pills for about 3 weeks. People for the past two days have been telling me how good i look. and me and my best friend were sitting outside on her porch, and she looks at me and says " you know... you really have lost a lot of weight since freshman year (im a senior in high school) and i say really? and shes like yes...its amazing. i feel thin. my mom even started calling me "skinny-mini" I have confidence now too. =] I have a question to the people who have used it though... maybe about once a week do you get this amazing feeling? like as if you had taken drugs and you just feel really,extrordinarily happy? |
| Roxy1 | posted 13-Dec-2008 10:40pm ...Hhmmm well I'm like that all the time... but what I do notice is that when I'm on these pills I get really really happy... but in a different way;)... you know what I'm sayin? ... I'm glad u feel confident Chels, that's how I feel too... these pills really do work I never doupt them |

| Deni | posted 20-Dec-2008 10:34am Hi Everyone !!! thought i would look on and see how you are all getting on. I did stop the pills as no change. I am watching what i eat but not really dieting - should be strict but sometimes the motivation goes when things go wrong in your personal life! its good to see that most of you are still here!! not much change from what i can gather. someone i knew was taking a pill called dustbins and they found her dead a few days ago, 20 years old. post mortem confirmed it was the pill and it wasnt an overdose. that shocked me. anyone heard of these? take care guys and please be careful. |
| Roxy1 | posted 24-Dec-2008 3:52am Hey ya'll... Deni no such thing... anyway, I feel good... havnt weight myself but I'm sure I've lost... how's everyone doing? |
| Anonymous | posted 24-Dec-2008 9:18am Hi All, So what are the new pills called again that replaces leptitrex? I need to get back on something. I was actually losing and folloiwing the protein diet and it was working for me. I have to get in that wedding dress!!! |
| desperate | posted 24-Dec-2008 9:18am That was me up there everyone. |
| desperate | posted 24-Dec-2008 9:37am Hi, me again. Have any of you heard or done any reshearch in Acai Berry. It seems like everywhere I go I hear people talking about it. I have done some research on line as well. It's supposed to be a more natural supplement, in away it's seems similar to the new leptitrex. I am torn on what to purchase. Any thoughts. Happy Hoildays |
| kelly | posted 29-Dec-2008 7:15pm hi, every time i take the pills i feel like i cant breath because i have jus eaten so much, is this normal? these pills have also not been registered by the amrican health standards, therefor how do we know that they are safe and actually doing wha the claim to do. |
| desperate | posted 30-Dec-2008 10:16am Hi Kelly, I took leptitrex, but have not orderd the new one yet. It seems like it is the same pill, just a different name. I did not get that side effect from them. The only think I did like about these is I didn't get any bad side effects like I have with other pills. I don't think there is really a safe diet pill out there. Even is you buy over the counter ones from Walgreens they all say these have not been approved by the FDA. I think as long as you don't have any serious health problems you should be okay.I am going to order a bottle as see how is goes. When I took Leptitrex I was following a low carb/high protein diet and walking and I lost 20lbs. I have 20 to go for my wedding, so I am going to give these another shot and try the same thing I did last time. At first I wasn't walking with them and really only lost water weight, but as soon as I started to walk, the weight kept coming off. |
| Undecided | posted 3-Jan-2009 5:11pm Hi All, Well I'm back because I was thinking of ordering some more pills and when I went to the website there was nothing allowing me to place the actual order. As I was reading the comments above I noticed that the pills have changed names. Does anyone know why the company changed the name of the pills? It seems alittle scary to me, especially since there was no mention of the change on the website, or even a redirect to the new website....I kinda makes me think that there is something wrong with the pills and in order to escape liability, the company went and created a new package, new name, new website, etc....Don't get me wrong, the pills actually worked (thats why I back). I lost about 25 pounds and dropped a pants size in 3 months with no diet or exercise, but it's just a little strange. Doees anyone know what the deal is with that amd has anyone tried the new pills yet? Did you notice any difference? |
| desperate | posted 11-Mar-2009 4:37pm I did order thenew pills, and they seem the same to me. I was just actually on yahoo, and It was voted one of the top 10 pillls. It seems like nothing changed except the name, and the rep awhile back told me why, and I do not remember the reasoning. |

| Mel | posted 18-Apr-2009 10:11pm Congratulations Chels! I, too, lost about 28 pounds and felt great. I ran out of the Leptitrex and didn't order more cause of the whole name change thing. I've gained about 5 pounds back and notice more fat. I'm about to order 3 bottles of Leptorexin. Gotta get back on it and get feeling and looking great again ::) |
| Jacqueline | posted 4-May-2009 9:09pm I just started Leptorexin today. I bought 3 bottles in advance. I'm really hoping that I see some results. I can't find many real reviews from real people on Leptorexin. I did feel a very mild hot sensation in my throat after taking the pills, but it went away immediately with some yogurt. Is it really removing fat in the first week, or just water weight? Is there anyone who hasn't changed their diet and still have lost on this program? I plan on changing some of my eating habits anyway, but I'm curious. I have about 30 lbs to lose (ultimate goal), though I would be happy with 15 lbs. I'm just hoping its fat that's lost and not muscle and water. |
| Jacqueline | posted 6-May-2009 8:16pm Even if I don't lose weight or fat with this pill, some of the "side effects" are really nice. On day one, I had a headache (I have mild to really bad headaches every day, its just how I am) and after taking the Leptorexin, the headache went away. Usually the only thing that works on my headaches is Excedrin Migraine but that tears up my stomach and I figure, I'd rather have the stomach pain than the headache. The Leptorexin didn't bother my stomach at all and cleared up the headache. Also, I feel natually energized, rather than chemically energized. I don't feel jittery, just more refreshed. In regards to Roxy's comment about it making you feel a little randy...yeah, I'm getting that. I'm wondering if anybody else posts here anymore or if all have given up for some reason? |
