I've been reading the lipovarin posts on this site for about 3 weeks now. I've found the information to be helpful as well as motivational. I purchased a 150 ct bottle of Lipovarin last week and started my regiment this past Saturday 1/14/06. I've seen very few posts from men, so I thought this might be helpful to those fellas wondering if Lipovarin would work for them.

Background
6 feet 3 inches, 238 lbs, 35 yrs old, African American....athletic build and have recently been diagnosed with Degeneritive Disk Disease(years of basketball & football)....because of my height I don't really look overweight, but my knees and pressure on my spine say otherwise (not to mention love handles). My doctor advises to I lose at least 20 lbs to relieve the pressure on my spine.

The Plan
- Light Weight Training, 1/2 hour of cardio, Monday - Thursday
- Run two miles daily, Friday - Sunday
- Eat regular meals, slim-fast for breakfast (slimfast has worked for me in the past)

Progress
As of Monday, 1/16/06... 3 lbs lost. I won't weigh myself again until next Monday 1/23/06. I started with 3 capsules in the morning before breakfast and 3 capsules between lunch and dinner. My appetite has been curbed and I do feel i have more energy. My next post will be next Monday.

Excellent! You are doing great and you like so many others are serving an inspiration to me.

I have been tracking my progress with the 3 Week Rapid Weight Loss System and I am on day 14 and I have lost 6 pounds. I know that may not be a huge amount of weight loss but I don't want to lose weight so quickly that I am likely to pile it back on again, so this is the most sensible approach for me.

Keep up the great work and continue to post your progress.

Well to date...I've lost four pounds. While that may not seem like a lot for a weeks worth of dieting and exercise...I consider it to be progress.

More importantly, I believe that I have lost inches around the waist. My jeans are much more comfortable and very loose around the waist. I hope this trend continues for the next two weeks.

Things I've Noticed
The first 4 days using Lipovarin curbed my appetite.....the last 3 days it has done nothing to control it. More will power has been exerted since last Friday to keep myself from the table. However, my energy levels still remain high, which is a plus.

I've found that drinking plenty of water really helps the process...the more water I drink the more energy I feel. I don't know if this can be attributed to the Lipovarin, but felt I should mention it anyway.

Questions & Issues
I commute to work everyday, therefore, I wake each day extremely early 4:50 AM...I have breakfast around 5:15AM (with my first 3 capsules). I take my lunch break around 11 AM. I felt that was too early to take my "afternoon" dose of Lipovarin. So I've been taking it around 2PM. Should I be taking it before my second meal...or is mid-afternoon the correct time, considering how early I start my day??

I've also noticed a great deal of acne developing. I think this is due to the caffine...is anyone else experiencing this, or has experienced that??

Last question...would it be ok to take 4 capsules instead of 3? At 234 lbs, I think my body can handle it. Any suggestions or recommendations?
