Danismell, you're back on it, that's what counts!! You'll do great. Holidays are always hard lol. You'll be at target on no time. It does work. I just passed a stone today and that was in two weeks!!! Keep at it :-D xxx

Sida, it's great that you have such enthusiasm- this plan has definitely been life changing for a lot of people. There are some great before and after threads. Best of luck!

A spinal injury will do it! It sounds like you had a good healthy attitude to food and exercise before. Maybe just commit to a couple more weekends? Then try dieting- you'll have a massive head start. If you found dieting wasn't working you could always try Lipotrim again? All I'd say with...

Hi Redlinda, it's definitely hard but the results are drastic. Now, please don't take this the wrong way... but... if you were able to lose weight on a calorie controlled diet managing 600/700 a day, not cheating and sticking to it long term, would you be in the position to need Lipotrim in the...

Thanks a million Chazs, your messages really helped last night. I woke up feeling pretty good but now I'm in town it's more of a struggle. HOWEVER... I know I can do this!! I was good as gold yesterday and should be back in ketosis with hunger at bay later today if not tomorrow. I moved my...

Thanks so much for the advice. I think I'm going to try to stay away from food completely as my tummy is so crampy now! One meal at a time till I feel back on track. The first week was easy, I guess it was the excitement! :booboo: Back on the straight and narrow today - didn't have the miso...

Chazs, that's great. 4lbs is a decent loss. So guys, I'm struggling badly with week 2. I dream about food, I think about food. I can practically taste it. I fell off the wagon yesterday. I'm back on today but even thinking a cup of miso soup would be great (my one is 17cals a cup?!). I...

So far... today is going better! I think that 0.4lb was a real slap in the face. I am so competitive with myself lol. I still stand to lose this week though. I am taking this as a warning to be a good girl! :innocent0002: From now on I am going to be the epitome of good behaviour and soon I...

Hi all, has anyone tried this? It's a non-invasive treatment that's supposed to work on your most stubborn areas. I'm interested but wondering if anyone has had any success with it first as it's pretty pricey! Thanks guys xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi guys, I was doing the 5:2 diet before Lipotrim and was maintaining happily. Only left it to get the last chunk of my weight off quickly. I'll be going back to it afterwards. Maybe 6:1 to maintain as I was losing slowly doing 5:2. My bf is also doing 6:1 to maintain. I fell of the wagon...

Half a pound is next to nothing Mike. Enjoy your holiday and make healthy choices. You're right, it does work. I'm up to 10lbs off in 10 days. I've never known such success but I'm feeling very determined right now. Best if luck xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Best of luck Mike!

6am again this morning but a weigh in of 8.2lbs off so I don't care!!! I'm actually not tired though?! Odd!

Chazs, you should be really proud, losing inches off your waist is really important for your health. I bet you've done wonders for your hip to waist ratio. Think about the years you've added to your life!! Healthy isn't always reflected on the scales. Your body is leaner and stronger this week...

If exercise is maybe not ideal, are there any alternative options to help along the way with loose skin? Cheers x

Inspirational photos- thanks for sharing! xx

Ms R, your results are unbelievable. How did you remain so steadfast all those weeks - any tips? Thanks x

OMG - you're doing amazing!!!! :D I'm having a rough day and seeing this has really helped! Natasha x

The shakes are designed to pack in vitamins and minerals. A home made version just isn't going to be enough nutrition.

Hi, I'm on day 5 and have the most annoying dry mouth feeling. Is this likely to pass - I'm drinking 2L a day? Also, are breath sprays allowed? I can't find the strips anywhere :-( Natasha x

This is a fab thread! I'm on day 5 and feeling pretty sapped. I'm also going camping this weekend and my friends will be having food. :-( My bf said to start after the weekend but I was so geared up on Monday I wanted to get cracking and figured a bbq was nothing in the grand scheme of...

I am a human burpathon after my shake :-/

I find Lipotrim good value at £36 - less than I would spend on food and drink for a week x

Update: Day 5 on Lipotrim and 6.4lbs off! I have PCOS - excess hair, missing periods, weight probs etc. I can't believe something is working! I tried metformin years ago but the nausea was unreal. I'm on cyproterone acetate these days which really helps with the excess hair. Not sure if...

Thanks for the recommendation! Good luck with your weight loss journey x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks a million! I think this diet would be a lot easier with a job to distract me lol xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

JLC1871, I have had light headedness today too but have been lower than usual on my water- maybe that's the key like Kate says. Kate, I'm finding my day 4 tough to. I've been in the city centre and there was a lot of temptation. We're over halfway through the week now though so let's kick out...

Thanks! Yeah, I'm more interested in slim and toned than numbers alone. I've taken starting measurements so I can keep track. Good luck to you too! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Day 4 and 5lbs off- feels worth it already lol xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Sarah, I know exactly what you mean about it keeping you on the straight and narrow. I'm keeping to only weighing first thing now. Day 4- 5lbs off so far!!!!!!! To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the century!!! :-D xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Someone on another forum is doing aquaerobics and says she felt good after. I'm going to give that a whirl. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks a million Chazs, I stepped on the scales this morning- Day 4 and have lost 5lbs!!! My gym does aqua aerobics classes so I'll get myself down there! I went to the gym on Tuesday but was wiped out after, however I can feel it in my muscles now (ouch lol) so was worth it!! I'll keep you...

Brill! Thanks, I'll have a look x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I just ordered some DrCeuticals stuff from Boots last night and the reviews were good. I won't use palmers as it smells like food :-( I've had stretch marks my whole life and don't notice them anymore- it's the firmness and evenness that bothers me if that makes sense. I'm lucky I don't have...

K, one day at a time is exactly the right approach! Try to keep busy. I found day 1and 2 quite tricky but then yesterday I had 3 different job interviews and my feet barely touched the ground- it flew!! Day 4 now and feeling so optimistic it's crazy!!! ;-) xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Danismell, that's great news. I'm glad you've found a way to make it work for you. Mike, I haven't been too irritable but a bit lethargic and thinking about food now and then. Today is day 4 and I woke feeling great. No hunger. I sneakily jumped on the scales and I've lost 5lbs!! Has made my...

Hi Kate, I'm on day 4 and feeling good now. I've lost 5lbs already. Defo stick with it!! I can't believe the results. Also, the ice is fab! I'm having a hot latte style vanilla in the mornings and two iced shakes later on and it's great!! :-D Keep up the good work everyone!!! Sent from my...

Dublin girl that's a brilliant point!! Do you mind me asking what your run consists of? I'm on day 2 and feel quite lethargic. I want to exercise to avoid dodgy skin but need more energy. I did a little bit at the gym this morning and was wiped out after :-/ Congratulation on your progress!! X...

That's a brilliant result!! Go you! Someone has mentioned some sort of breath strip. Going to have a look tomorrow. I find myself using listerine more than usual :-/ Keep up the great work x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That's great to know! Thanks! Last night I found myself fantasising about eating sweetcorn but otherwise no hunger. No major headaches either. Just a big lethargic today and some interesting sounds coming from my tummy. Looks like a few of us have started around the same time so will be...

Hi, how did you get on with the weigh in after all? Hope you're feeling better- best of luck x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm on day too and am fine other than lethargy. Will I get more energy as the days go on? Good luck everyone x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Brilliant idea! I'll be doing that tonight :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Wow! That's a great loss, I bet you feel really good. Do you have energy? I feel really sapped today :-/ Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

This is a great thread. I'm only on day 2 but feel very determined to lose 3-4 stone. I say 3-4 as I have no idea what it will look like! If I lose 3 I will be the weight I was in my teens lol. Hoping to get to a healthy slim BMI 22 Natasha x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm on day 2 and this is a great thread. Glad to hear it can be done! Good luck to you both xx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm on day 2 and it is so helpful to hear it actually works!! I'm drinking the water but always have a dry mouth? Does anyone else get this? What can I do? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Banana flavour would be amazing. Is day 3 headache day? I have a job interview tomorrow?! I'll take some painkillers with me just in case. I'm on day two today and so far haven't been hungry. I was doing the 5:2 diet before so am sort of used to fasting. Good luck to you all! I'm finding...

That was meant to say "fat bits"! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hiya, are either of you using creams or anything? I'm finding that as my fat but start to go they look a bit lumpy?! Thanks, Natasha Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm only on day 2 but so far not too bad. Will you post how you get on with the exercise class? I did a little in the gym this morning but felt wiped out after. Will this get better? Thanks, Natasha

My thoughts exactly! I've found that patches of fat are becoming less dense and lumpy?! :-( I'm going to do weights to try to tighten things up but are there any lotions and potions that help too?

Does anyone have a small shaker? I have the one that came with the diet from the pharmacy but it's a bit big for my bag for eating on the go!

Hi, I have been waking up because I need to pee all the time! I'm only on day 2 and felt quite good when I woke up this morning. It was early but there was a very loud thunderstorm. How are you finding LT on the whole?

Hi Kate, this may not be helpful this minute but I've been on my weight loss journey for a couple of years. Before that I would yoyo but since 2008 I haven't gained back. I did basically went to see a therapist to talk over my demons and find ways of coping that weren't food. The therapy was...

I am new to LT and have found this really helpful. I'm dead set on getting off the last of the weight and as I'd been maintaining for about a year I'm confident it won't go back on afterwards. Thanks so much for sharing this!

This is fantastic to read - you should be so proud of yourself. A major achievement. All the best and enjoy your holiday!!

Hi, I'm on Day 2 today. So far it hasn't too bad. I've managed to have the water I'm supposed to and got in a short gym session this morning. I can feel a headache coming though... lol. What day are you on now Paul? I'm due to weigh in on Monday. I need to stay away from the scales though...

Oops, pressed enter too soon lol. Yeah, red days which were more protein based were definitely more effective for me. They're also yummy! I guess try the different options till you find what suits you. Best of luck!!

That's good news. I definitely had more joy in red days.

Hiya, I too have PCOS. Tbh I didn't have much luck with SW or WW and have only really had major success combining VLCD with exercise. It can be done though. I've lost 3 stone, it's just been very slow is all. Keep you chin up - slow is better than not losing or gaining!!

Hi all, today is my first day so I'll be a Monday weigh in. Had breakfast - so far so good lol. Natasha x

Hi hun, you won't bulk up. Women aren't capable of simply bulking up because we don't have enough testosterone. You'd have to do some specialised lifting and food etc to bulk up. I have PCOS and still don't have enough. It was a major worry to me but I've been lifting regularly for a little...
