Hi Binger, I think that everyone here is making a whole lot of sense. As I understand it you can do 2 shakes a day and one meal of high protein, very low carb and still continue to lose weight. You might want to ask your pharmacist about it. Good luck sweetie, and keep you chin up; you've made...

Laura! WOW!:eek: Well done you!

I feel for you Chunkydunker - my DH has just finished cooking his curry and I'm gonna go hide for half an hour whilst he eats it. I couldn't even help him chop the onions - I was afraid I would lose control! I'm only on day 8, so hoping that the hunger will go away soon and I can start cooking...

:8855:Lol Ollie - you're within shoutin' distance of me then! What in the WORLD are you doing in Leeds - surely you didn't go there on purpose !!

Hi Cazzy - Congrats on your wi results and the fab progress you've made on LT! Hope I'm as successful! Annie xx

Hi, as far as I know we can use regular toothpaste. I am and it hasn't prevented reaching Ketosis.

lol thanks for that harriet - right now I think I need something with a serious punch!

Am I still in?

Thanks Ollie - second time tonight you've bailed me out! Very much appreciated! It's tough being a newbie!

Sorry - trying to remove my post so you guys can continue on, but I can't figure out how to delete it... sigh.

I'm in total awe Barbie! Congrats on your fabulous success!

Same here with the soups - yech. Hope the flapjacks work for you!

Well done!

Wow Slimbee - 8lbs sounds great; you must really be chuffed!

Cherry, you've done soooo well, and are so supportive of the others on here - how can anyone NOT admire you! And you've got great taste in shoes too! Respect!

Is senakot the only laxitive we can use? I only have Dulcoease in the house, and it is day 7....weigh in tomorrow and I've got a week of this stuff backed up! :o

One of my work colleagues lost 2.5 stones in 5 weeks on it, so here I am.

I am their first Lipotrim customer, so I got ushered into the backroom, sat amongst the employees' lunches, bags, coats, etc. But they seem really nice, and when I took back the rest of my chicken "poops", they were happy to swap them for me. My first week weigh in is on Saturday (which will...

Not all americans are fat. and not all americans eat like that.

I'm teamless too

I'll be really pee'ed off if this is true - I bought £9 worth of 'em this weekend!!!

Hi Parkerela - I had a tough day yesterday and found a couple cups of strong peppermint tea with a sweetner really helped, and an early night. I've been reading some books where they don't talk about food too much, as well, which helps me think about something other than not eating. Hope this...

WOW - well done, you! You look fabulous!

I had a word with my LT pharmacist and suggested that they special order these for their LT customers, and she said she would.

I agree Jan - I really admire everyone on here for all their success in sticking to the LT program!

Much better - thanks for asking! Got the Ketostix and checked to ensure that I was in Ketosis - definitely! Still have some hunger, but not the gnawing, rumbling tummy starving that I had yesterday. Still want to smack my hubby for making delicious food every evening but I guess he has to eat ;)...

I make my choc shake with 200ml of cold water, and wizz it with my electric wizzer! Then I add half a cup of cold strong mint tea that I made earlier with a splenda tablet. Wiz again, pour, enjoy!

And imagine wizzing up your choc shake with a few peppermint ice cubes...c'mon, that's gotta be good!

I bet if you made a nice strong batch of this tea with some sweetners, poured it in an ice cube tray, covered it with cling film, stuck some cocktail picks through (hey, didn't they do this on Blue Peter?) we could have some fab little mint ice lollies!

My gosh CherryRocks, I admire you buckets! Look how far you've come, losing over 5 stone! You are obviously a strong and determined woman, and I'm sure you can get right back on the program. How fabulous are you going to feel that day that dress fits!

Hi everyone - I'm drinking tons of the twinings peppermint r&r tea, and it is really great to make the chocy shake with...yummm! At this rate I'll be going through 2 boxes of the teabags a week, but, hey ... it can't hurt, and may actually help with the stinky ketosis breath!

On our jackets we should have a warning : "Ponky Breath - keep your distance!" I never would have believed that I would be going through so much listerene! I got some ketostix today at the pharmacy and am definitely in Ketosis, so I'll just look forward to week 3 when I'm not hungry anymore ... :)

I found them at Asda's pharmacy.

Thanks everyone for getting me through another day!

Oh dear...here we go again LOL! :D

I've been planning on doing LT for the last 3 weeks, so I tried to make a lot of his favourite meals in advance and then froze them in single servings...like his minted lamb pie that he's just finished. I just watched him, and drank my mint tea. We generally cook together - it's one of our...

I use the Twinings Revive & Revitalise Pure Peppermint tea.

Or my husband chomping his way through his Sunday tea...which I won't even tell you about because that would be reallllllyyyyy cruel!

I know what you mean; last night all I could think about was a baked sweet potato. What just 3 days on LT has really driven home to me is how bombbarded we (as a society) are by food messages! Radio, television, magazines, billboards, films...

Thanks for that! I'll try to have some more water. I like your food ethos of clean eating - my husband and I started growing our own organic fruit and veg several years ago, and can't encourage people enough to stop eating processed stuff. It was really our biggest reservation about my decision...

Hi Adam - I'm not really into chocolate or shakes in the real world...unfortunately, I'm a carb junkie. Given the choice of a chocolate biscuit or a slice of toast, and the toast would win, hands down. Thus my jumbo tush... But out of the LT selection so far, it's the chocy shake for me! I'm...

I agree about the soup - I'm taking my remaining packets of it back to the pharmacy tomorrow and swapping them for the chocy shakes, which are bland enough to get down without gipping.

Yes, the green pack. Ok, well then, I'll just have another cup of coffee, "lay back and think of England" :)

Thanks for the feedback and support everyone. I did split my shakes this morning, thinking that spacing them out would help (I tried using half the vanilla in each of two coffees). Do you think that the listerene strips are keeping me from reaching the ketosis stage? I could only fine the Cool...

Hi everyone - I need some advice. I'm on day 3 and I am still starving. I mean tummy-rumbling emptiness. I have had my shakes, black coffee, and averaged about 2 liters of plain water a day in addition to the water in the shakes and coffee. The only other things that have crossed my lips are...

Hi all, I'm Annie and I'm just finishing day 2. Went to the cinema and my breath ensured that nooooobody crowded me! My husband was leaning so far away from me, his head was nearly on the stairs. On the way home we stopped at 3 Asda's till we found one that had the Listerene strips. Still...

I'm looking forward to being able to cross my legs, going trail walking without bruising my heels, and not being stared at, except (hopefully) by my husband in a very nice way!
