Day 3 - A bit if a wobble Hellos :) Here's day 3 menu, not all went according to plan but we live and learn :break_diet: Breakfast - 2 sausages (4.8 g), 3 slices bacon (0.5g) Lunch - Stuck at work, no time to get something.... which may have contributed to the disaster that was Dinner - 2...

Thanks Katie :) I miss my greens as I love veggies... Still working on how to balance out everything as I didn't plan this before starting, I just kind of decided to start on Monday morning while already at work! So still exploring options but it's getting easier as I go along. Well done on...

Day 2 - Exercise and Ketostix progress Day 2 food diary in full: Breakfast - Sausages (4.8g), Bacon (0.5g), Green tea (0g) Lunch - Dry fried goat meat (0g) Dinner - Chicken breast (0g), Spinach (4.2g) With lots of green tea (0g) throughout the day Exercise: Started on the cardio blast...

Hi Tig! Yaaaay, day 2 is done, hope yours went great :) The squat challenge looks good, I'll definitely try that starting tomorrow morning. I really struggled today with the Cardio Blast so it would be cool to incorporate another challenge to mix things up a bit.

Hi Kimmi! Yes I'm pretty excited about the 4 pounds overnight, it's really motivated me today :) We have around the same amount to lose so we let's egg each other on. I tried exercising this evening but I'm terribly out of shape, hoping that improves over the next few days.

Hello! I was last here in 2009 (hence the username ;-) ) doing Lipotrim. I managed to lose almost 30 pounds over 7 weeks but it has slowly crept back on... and then more!! I'm on Day 2 of Atkins, hoping to loose 92 pounds... so far so good, although as I'm in Kenya at the moment I can't find...

Hi Yasmine, Very sorry to hear about your sister, hope she gets well soon. I remember from watching the lipotrim video that rapid weightloss has been linked to gallstones, perhaps it's something she should take into consideration after the op - maybe getting back on lt will cause the problem...

Hello All, It's been a long time, hope everyone's been doing well! I went away for a friend's wedding so had a three week break, back on LT today!! Wish me luck, feeling a bit woozy already, hehe... Will weigh myself tomorrow morning, don't want to scare myself off today :p Here's to...

Hey hon, I think it's achievable, I ate the same thing as you and drunk last Saturday and managed to still loose. The weight loss this week has been really slow though, so far only 1lb gone since Wednesday, so I think I got out of ketosis briefly. You shouldn't beat yourself up too much over...

No I don't take any supplements while on LT. The ones I use are prescribed by the doc and have to be taken after meals (which is not an option while on LT) Generally feel very tired and light headed while on LT but think I'm getting used to it, I'm now 7 weeks in! My blood pressure also goes...

No, I didn't do refeed or anything - just had a very naughty Saturday night then straight back on. To try make up for it I only had two shakes Saturday and two shakes Sunday. The bloating is now gone which is a huge relief :-) Weighed myself this morning and I weigh exactly the same as I did...

Me too! Though I am anaemic so I'm generally dizzy throughout LT! When I'm eating normally I occasionally get dizzy when it's TOTM or if I go a couple of days without meat in my diet. So I guess it makes sense that I should be permanently light headed when not eating at all. Maybe you...

Aww, don't get too stressed out over it, I'm sure there's no need to worry. If you're doing the refeed properly and exercising there's no reason for things to go wrong :-) You've done so well, congratulations! Can't wait to reach target myself.

Aww... that's so sweet of him. It's great to have support from family :)

Hehe... thanks Lauren... it wasn't hard getting back on as I felt bloated from the word go this morning. Forced my first shake down me at 6p.m it's that bad! My tummy feels like I swallowed a football! Summergurl - I expected to get drunk VERY fast but that didn't happen. I drunk quite a few...

Hellos!! Just back from a brilliant wkend away with friends and after 6.5 very well disciplined weeks I had a wee break :eek: Last night I ate lime and coriander chicken and downed a few vodkas with soda water. Been on the straight and narrow since then, I can say I'm safely back on the LT...

Hey, I'm anaemic so I have dizzy spells and low energy whenever I'm on LT. Never taken anything to help manage it though. When I'm not on LT I have to eat lots of iron rich foods but once in a while that's not enough and doctor prescribes iron tablets for a while. Hope you manage to sort it out.

Hi Lynseyloo, I don't think it's safe to drink alcohol at all. I've been going out regularly and drinking sparkling water all night. I usually drink wine when out but so far it hasn't been a big deal to anyone that I'm not drinking alcohol. You shouldn't risk drinking unless you're going to...

Hi Warrior, I drunk Wu Long and Wu Yi throughout last year, I can't say it did anything for my weightloss... it just went up, and up, and up... But it's worth a try, I guess our bodies have different responses. Good luck!

Initially I missed anything and everything I could think of, lol... Now I get serious cravings for steak!! It's almost a constant craving, always at the back of my mind... haha, A steak with salad - yummyyyyy I guess you can tell I totally 100% love my meat ;-)

Aww Kered, I'm sure you'll be just fine! If your husband can get you the shakes tomorrow then it will have been a verrrry minor blip and as you said, you'll still be in ketosis which is great. Good luck and fingers crossed you'll be back on the shakes in no time!! x

Hehe... FBTB I'm glad you tired it, I'm the one that recommended it and yep - still going strong with my 5-6 litres a day! Warm water rocks!! ;-)

Haha, not goody two shoes by any chance. I got everything I need to work on e-mailed through!! :sigh: At least I'm watching tv while I work away ;)

Love it too! It looks so beautiful! Tried to go to work but underground was suspended and there were no buses running so working from home today. Just been taking some pics outside it's so pretty. I imagine it would be a pain trying to drive in it though.

Hi, Mine doesn't smell stronger except when I have a coffee - then it just smells of coffee!! Strange, I know!

Yorkshire Adam that was quite a big difference, must have been a shock! Had you had some water/shakes before weigh in? It might explain it. Good luck this week. Onwards and downwards we go!

Aww, thanks again for all the encouragement. I'm feeling lots more positive today. Also back to original water intake, I've thought about it and that's the only thing I did different in week 2. I had so many external work events and meetings I didn't get to drink as much as I did in week 1. So...

I go first thing in the morning, get weighed at 8.00. Last drink is at 9.00 the night before, no shakes or anything until after weigh in.

Haha, thanks Lou! Your losses are very encouraging, you went from 2 and 3 to 7!! Let's hope something similar happens to me :-)

Thanks for the encouragement, I know any loss is a good loss, gotta stay positive and look forward to the next few pounds coming off!

Ok, I know I'm probably in the tiniest minority here but I love hot water! Have you tried drinking it warm? It doesn't send me to the loo too often and I'm drinking more than I should at 6 litres at day. Try it... you just might find it ok.

Boo... Only lost 3lb this week... :( Ah well... it can only get better, right? Onwards and downwards!! Good luck to everyone this week!

Oh yes, that's defo the plan from tomorrow. I'll have enough shakes for evenings and weekends here and only keep breakfast and lunch ones in the office. Lesson learnt!

There you go, perfect excuse... you could say you got a stomach bug from hubby! And of course all the loo trips due to water make it even more believable!

Hmm... how about saying you have a dodgy tummy and don't want to risk upsetting it further? Alternatively just say you're not too hungry and have a small piece of protein... Good luck whatever you decide! :)

Happy Birthday hon. Hope you have a good one! xx

Wow, that's fantastic Lou! Well done hon! xx

No, I'm gonna do my best to stay away from food, I'm already tucked up in bed to conserve as much energy as possible. If I feel really weak tomorrow then I'll consider having some skimmed milk.... but I'll do my best not to.

Ugh! I'm so annoyed at myself. Rushed from work for a doc's appointment, just got home and guess what? I forgot my evening and brekkie sachets!! I'm not yet hungry but I usually start feeling faint around 9ish if I don't have my evening shake before then. Maybe I'll just drink lots of water and...

'Man mountain' who nearly ate himself to death loses 28 stone... and becomes a fitness instructor | Mail Online

Hi, I'm also going away on my 8th week of TFR, not too sure about whether or not I'll refeed yet. I might just stick to grilled chicken and salad for the 2 weeks I'm away... I'll have a look at the thread hope70 mentioned.

Hey cuddlyfairy, I know, super excited about going below 30 BMI!! I'm hoping that's gonna happen on Wednesday :-) The girls at work thought my face looked slimmer today, it was nice to hear though I think a hair cut I had over the weekend may have more to do with it than 1.5 weeks on LT...

Loulou well done on fitting into the dress. That must feel absolutely brill!! It's actually better than getting weighed and not seeing a difference in your size and shape, I think! Haha, I also weigh myself daily, I have a chart keeping track of home scales and a seperate one for the...

Thanks!! I'm just super excited :-) I steadily put on weight most of last yr it's such a great feeling to have clothes feel loose for a change!

Hey, So I know we're not supposed to use our scales but I was too tempted, so far I've only lost 2 lbs this week which was disappointing! However when I was getting dressed this morning my clothes felt so much looser it completely made me forget about the figures on the scales!! Still got 2...

Hi, I live in South West London and work in the City. I go to a pharmacist in St James' park for my weigh-ins early morning on the way to work.

Congrats!! That's a fantastic loss :-) Bring on week 2!

FBTB!! That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Someone toning and losing the avergae 4 lbs per week :-) I'll go to body pump on Saturday and see how weigh in next week goes. P.S: The only reason I'm not doing cardio as well is because I've always been fairly unfit even at my slimmest...

Calanetics sounds interesting, I'll definitely have a look. Trish walking and swimming would certainly work but I think they'd be slower than the rate of weight loss and therefore end up with some flab still. I'm still doing the yogalates but only half hour in the mornings at the moment.

I've been doing yogalates at home (combination of yoga and pilates), went to gym to sign up for some instructor classes and that's when they said body pump would be best for toning and simultaneously strengthening muscles.... Hmm... might drop by the gym again today and have a longer chat...

Hi Chele, Good point. I hadn't thought of asking how much we should be doing in the first place. I'm feeling more energetic than I did before the diet, my plan was to go for the classes at gym and stop if I feel weak or dizzy half way through... I don't think toning exercises are as 'hard' on...

Hellos, I was planning on starting body pump this week as it’s highly recommended for toning and builds up muscle without getting you ‘bulky’. I discussed with my pharmacist and having done LT herself she also swore by body pump, however she did say that as it essentially strengthens and...

Aww, thanks everyone for all your lovely encouraging comments. This site is really great for motivation :-) Gonna find out how to get a ticker up now. xx

Thanks everyone! I am over the moon, really motivated now! I know the weight loss will decrease, but this is definitely the kick start I needed :-)

Congrats Kered, very well done!! I also managed 13lbs in week 1, looks like we're well on the way to achieving our goals. Good luck for the coming week. xxx

Hey Everyone, Just had my first weigh in and 13 pounds off! Just one off a stone now, I'm SOOO happy! All ready to face week 2 now :8855: Good luck this week everybody!

Hi Mairead, I went on antibiotics 3 weeks into TFR when I last did LT 4 yrs ago. I don't remember the effect on weigh in but I did feel weak and got a really bad case of diarrhea for a couple of days. I stuck with it and did not start eating, however if you haven't started LT yet based on...

Hi Kered, No, I don't get bad breath either, I think the water intake is taking care of that. I'm also using listerine strips evey few hours as I'm used to chewing gum to keep my breath fresh through the day. I'm very cold, but can't tell if that's because of ketosis. I'm ALWAYS cold in...

Big congrats on the loss! :8855:

Haha... on 2.5 litres now, almost 3 down... phew!! And yes, the toilet breaks are quite annoying, though I'm only waking up once during the night thank goodness.

wow, milktrayman! well done!! i can't wait for the day i'll be so close to my goal!! good luck on the final stretch!

Hey Kered, I’m aiming for 9 stone, I’ve never been that slim so it would be amazing to get there! Last time I did LT almost 4 yrs ago now I got down to 10 stone from 14 in 2 months… I piled 3 stone back on in 2008 when I started working in an office… Uni life was much more active and better...

No probs, FatBrideToBe - glad to be helpful ;-) I notice that you're on a LT break, are you on maintenance during the break or just eating normally (but senisbly, of course)? I ask because I'll have to take a 2 week break around March to go for a wedding and I'm worried about how I'll handle...

Miss Unknown, I really do not see the need to be abusive, I simply found an article and copied and pasted. If you read my post it says I'm drinking 6 ltr of water a day, not 9. Mini has now laid the matter to rest so no need for any more hostile messages. Thanks.

Hi Mini, Thanks for clearing that up it became quite a debate! The thread I got on minimins is this one http://www.minimins.com/lipotrim-for...ter-water.html (Water - Water - Water), and the one that you say has wrong info is this one ***** Thanks again for clearing it up, that was...

Hey FatBrideTo Be, If you'd like some more info (just because you said your pharmacist didn't give much info), have a look at this video. You can get it from your pharmacist for a 10 pound deposit, or just click on the link and enjoy... It's easy to understand and straight from LT :-)...

Found it... this is from lipotrim... In addition to the water used to mix your diet, it is recommended that you drink 6 - 8 pints (4 - 5 litres) of water each day. The foods we would normally eat are made up of large amounts of water so you will not be getting an adequate amount of water...

haha... fat bride to be, i was also a bit worried about how often i'd need the loo, lol... At the moment I'm having a litre every 2 hrs, so not tooo bad ;-) Will let you know if I start weeing evety other second though LOL! This is from other minimins users...

Previous post up! :-)

Hey Kered, I'm 5'3, just an inch shorter than you :) Which means we should be going for approximately the same target weight, woop woop!! Gonna be great for support... How much do you plan on losing at the moment? :D

Medical facts on water intake Hi Miss Unknown, In response to your concern about the effetcs of excessive water intake, I know for a fact from elemantary school biology that 9 litres of water spread throughout the day is healthy for a child's body. Adults can take considerably more, here's an...

Hi Kered, We have the exact same start weight, what are the chances of that, lol! About the water, I started yesterday and my pharmacist said she did LT herself a few yrs ago. She swore by 6 ltr of water daily in addition to tea, coffee etc. I'll try stick to that in week 1 and see if I see...

Hi everyone, I'm Cathy, aged 23 and it's my first day today. Morning and afternoon went well but getting home knowing there was food was the hardest part! I've now cleared out the fridge so no more temptation awaits me in the evenings! I'm very excited to be doing this and hoping the...
