Hi everyone, I have been on LT TFR replacement for 6 weeks on tuesday and planned to go on re-feed wed. Only reason for going on re-feed so soon is I am getting married in June and can't lose much more weight due to measurements for dress already taken. I aim to go back to TFR after the...

Hello - i have nearly blown the diet too - sunday and today in particular decided i wanted to eat and for several hours was debating what to have. In the end i didn't give in and i am so glad i didn't. You can do it hun, keep focussed it is going to be so worth it. x

Well done and def worth keeping it up. I only started exercising last week as had mixed feelings on whether to exercise due to the whole debate of muscle weighing heavier than fat but it is worth it to keep you toned. My weigh in was much better this week too so i think exercising will really...

Thats fab - congrats hun i am so pleased for you. x

Hi Minimay, I wouldn't eat either. I am struggling big time this week and almost went onto re-feed a week early. On sunday and also today i had really weak days where i was debating for several hours what to eat when i was out with my partner - but i didn't. I do feel really good that i didn't...

Hi and welcome to LT - I lost 22lbs in 4 weeks and by week 5 weigh in have lost 2 stone exactly since i started. Love the amount of weight you can lose on LT. Good luck with your journey - you can do it! x

I have constantly been cold since on LT too. I personally don't think i went into ketosis until around day 5 and after day 6/7 the hunger subsided for me. x

I have the same problem too! I have loads of stretchmarks and on my back around my waist and on my arms from gaining weight and I hate them too. I think there is some type of cosmetic treatment to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks but not sure what - try googling it. x

Hi Lauren, glad you are feeling better now. Just ignore the ignorant receptionist - you look fab and are really pretty. You are doing amazingly well and you deserve to feel good on your birthday as you have achieved a lot already. Just spend time trying loads of things on and i am sure you will...

Good luck and stick with it as its def worth it x

Like everyone else is saying - 4 pints is fine as long as you spread it out during the day and don't have too much all at once.

Good luck and well done on your weight loss so far and for keeping it off.

Has to be my eyes - as i am so critical of everything else (due to weight gain!)

Best of luck - definetley so worth it. x

Hope you feel better soon and hang on in there! x

Well done hun and keep going - you are doing so well. xx

Hello and well done on your weight loss so far - you are doing fab! I felt exactly the same as you on week 3 and 4, but every pound all adds up and you have already lost what is guaranteed in 4 weeks. Its important to think of your overall weight loss. I stepped up the exercise this week and...

I felt exactly the same at first and even after a couple of days i just wanted to quit. You can do it if you just stick with it, and i promise it will be so worth it. Keep focussed on why you started the diet and your weekly weight losses will spur you on. You will find that drinking more water...

Ditto what everyone else is saying - sooner you start it - sooner you will be at your goal! Just think how much better you will feel -so get shaking. x

Good luck! LT is definetley one of the best things I have done. I actually ate really bad the day before i started and my carb withdrawel symptoms were really bad! I didn't realise that it is advisable to start cutting down a few days before to make your first week that little bit more bearable...

Good luck hun - you can do it! This site is brilliant and everyone is so supportive and helpful x

Hiya, i had trouble drinking the required amount of water at first but it does get a lot easier. Unfortunatley you can't have any flavouring! Water is like your best friend on this diet and will help you have good weight losses each week. Persevere with it and you will find you don't even think...

Thats fab - you are doing so well; keep it up! I have had tough times on this diet so far - but i have to say its one of the best things i have ever done. I have lost 2 stone now - and i still have a way to go but already my health has significantly improved. xx

Hi - i am actually going to go on re-feed next week as i can initially only do this for 6 weeks as i get measured for my wedding dress at the weekend. I am going to go back to weightwatchers as i can only lose weight slowly now as my measurements can't be taken any later and i should really...

Well done you are having fantastic losses - keep it up! x

Congrats you are doing brilliantly. Just think you can make a pancake after you have finished the diet. Your weight losses each week will spur you on to stick to the diet. It is so worth it! Best of luck x

You are doing great - well done! Make sure you have all of your shakes though as you need them all. You may start to feel unwell if you skip them. I personally never suffered with the headaches - just keep up your water intake and that should help you avoid them. x

Its good to have a bit of healthy competition. Secretly i think many people are silently competitive as its in our nature (especially you guys)! Its great to set yourself goals - go for it! x

Thats fantastic well done! How did you manage that when you weren't sticking to it? Your dress is beautiful - you will look stunning. x

Well done hun - keep going you are doing fab! x

Lol i know what you mean - who needs lent to give up something and make such an improvement to yourself.

Good luck i am sure you will achieve your goal! So important to set little goals to help you stay focussed. x

Congrats hun you are doing really well! I actually work shifts so every week i am on a different pattern and i also work nights. I tend to have one whenever i get up and then space the other two out. Now i tend to forget the 3rd shake and often don't feel i need it. It is so important that you...

Stay focussed on why you wanted to start the diet. Ignore the ignorant comments from other people. You must of wanted to lose the weight enough to decide to go on this diet so stick with it. Its so worth it and you will feel fab for doing so. There have been many times I have wanted to give up...

Good luck hun, you did amazingly well the first time round so I am sure you will do really well this time. You seem like your health means a lot to you so good on you! Don't feel bad that you put some weight on when you were ill - perfectly understandable. Your weight loss is an inspiration to...

Well done thats brilliant! I am going onto re-feed wed next week and feel nervous that i will pile it back on. I am worried i will eat something thats not good for me and give into cravings because i can eat again and pile it back on. How are you coping with cravings now and do you feel full on...

Well done thats brilliant! This diet is so worth it when you see results like that. x

I am stunned by how rude they are! Do they think that money grows on trees. Weddings are expensive enough and they should be priveledged that they have been invited to share in your special day. I dont really know what else to say. There is no way you should feel responsible for arranging...

Thanks lauren. Thats what I thought too - so i decided to carry on and try and exercise this week. Do you exercise whilst on lp? I felt so close to packing it all in yesterday especially seeing as the pharmacist was being so negative towards me carrying on. I find this site really helpful as all...

I would stop it too - just until you know for sure as I don't know if you are allowed to do this diet if you are pregnant. Will you be happy if you find out you are pregnant? x

:( I went for my 4th weigh in yesterday to find that I have only lost 2lbs this week. Last week I lost 3lbs and I just don't know why its coming off so slow. I haven't cheated ever on this diet. My pharmacist thought it was strange and asked me this week and last week if I had cheated which made...

Wow congrats - you are an inspiration hun xx

I have gone off the soup now as i find it leaves a strange after taste. I personally wouldn't risk adding anything to them as some people have found this detrimental to their weight loss and I wouldn't want to risk that. So I have just chosen to go with the shakes - 7 of each flavour a day. x

Congrats on the weight loss hun. Hope you feel better soon and you have a speedy recovery. x

Congrats hun - 6lbs is brilliant! I know what you mean though as I compared my first weigh in weight loss to other people on here that had lost more than me. We are all different though and like everyone else is saying losing weight before starting this may of made a difference to your first...

Hi Slimbee, Welcome to LT! I have only just started posting on here but have read many posts and there are some great people on here. Not sure about the mouth spray - sorry. I personally found the first week really tough and was in tears most nights as i didn't think i could do it and wanted...

Good Luck! Just read your stats - you are doing so well I am sure you will meet one of your targets. x

I had to swap some sachets and they were fine about it. It shouldn't be a problem as its a straight swap and after all you are paying for them. Well done on your weight loss you are doing brilliantly! I hope you are feeling better now. I could completely understand what you said about wanting...

i just use a beaker that i bought from a supermarket. Anything such as a water bottle or a gym bottle will be fine. In tesco's they sell powder supplements in the fitness section and they have shakers that are perfect for mixing up your lipotrim sachets on the go.:)

Thanks for the advice. I have to admit i have never cheated (but i am only on week 4), however I have felt very close a couple of times. I just hope i can stay strong as only on this for 6 weeks as i have to get measured for my wedding dress. Good luck everyone - you know you can do it! xx

Well done - 4lbs is a good loss! I felt the same as you as I lost 3lbs in the 3rd wk and felt dissapointed after 2 big losses the week before. Everyone loses weight at a different weight and it will average out over the weeks and you will definetley lose the weight you want to if you stick to...

That is really sweet and so true. My fiance and I are getting married in June and we have so much to pay for along with our honeymoon. Normally we would go out to dinner etc..but what with the diet and money etc.. we have decided not to exchange gifts. Instead I have written him a letter which...

Hi hun, Like everyone else is saying 4lbs is a good loss! I know how you feel though because I was dissapointed in my 3rd week weigh in after having big losses in first 2 weeks but i think it does just average out and everyone is different. I did think about what I had done differently on the...

Well done! Thats a brilliant start! How are you finding the diet so far? x

I would love to add something to my soup as I have gone off it now; but I would not want to take the risk of it hindering my weight loss. I asked my pharmacist about adding curry powder and he told me not to - but said that pepper should be ok.

Hi Stef, I had a bad sore throat just after my first week and i was told by my pharmacist to gargle asprin. It did help. Hope you feel better soon. x:)

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else that is on the lipotrim diet has polycystic ovarian syndrome? If so how are you getting on with the diet and has it helped your pcos at all?:)

:( I am on day 3 and am struggling! I have strawberry shakes and chicken soup and i don't mind the taste just feel full up with fluids and not food which feels odd at the moment and i am already craving food. It seems to get worse for me in the evenings and i am wondering if i am going to be...

Hello Ju - glad you are finding it ok! I have the strawberry shakes and chicken soup. The strawberry shakes are fine...but i tried the soup by shaking it up in a water bottle with some boiling water and i think i am going to struggle with the soups. I think I will have to use a blender at home -...

Hiya, I start on lipotrim tomorrow too... i feel really apprehensive about it! I am nervous about thinking about food all the time and feeling grumpy. I know it will be worth it though - i can only do it for 6 weeks as i have to be measured for my wedding dress end of feb. I will have to...
