Hi As well as water you can also have herbal tea made of leaf (e.g. green tea, peppermint tea, redbush tea) nothing made of fruit or flowers e.g. camomile. For me the first 5 days were the hardest, but after your first weight loss it really spurs you on, and once you are in ketosis it's not...

Thanks for this. that actually sounds a lot like me. Been on progestogen only pill so not had periods for ages. Thanks for the reassurance. Hope you get it sorted out iwth your doc anyway. Mine appears to have stopped now for a while! Oh the joys of dieting!!! xxx

I'm kind of worried that it's not safe, but I guess it's just part of the diet. Do you think it's a concern that I should check with my GP but will all be ok? Thanks, just really worried about it JO xx

I've been having a period for about 4 weeks now on and off, and I'm sure it's linked to being on Lipotrim. Haven't mentioned it to pharmacist yet so wondered if anyone else has had this problem on the LT diet?

That's great. You're right, there's no point trying to kill yourself to be a size that the media says you should be. A 14-16 is a healthy size. I am aiming for a 14, as I have never been one i don't think, and as you said the hard part is keeping it off, which is my biggest fear too ,so let us...

You're braver than me. She did really well though. I actually like exercising, but dragging 18stones about was a bit hard. I find now if i exercise on LT i get stomach cramp, so that's my excuse til I refeed!

Lipotrim is a really good diet to lose weight, don't take the fact your GP doesn't know about it, some GP's are so keen to hand out pills and surgery. The pharmacist i go to is so helpful, so having a chat to one is great, and Iwas told by my GP before I started Lipotrim that if you have a...

REally glad you made it through, hope you have a great holiday in your new size 12's

i just watched this on BBC iplayer, and it really inspired me too, although I'm never doing that bootcamp!!!

My mini goals Hi I have 8 and a half stone to lose, and think the idea of mini goals is great. I didn't set any at first, as just losing weight was enough, but then set my first goal to lose 2 stone, which I have done. My next goal is to get into the 15 stones which I am about 7lb away from...

Hi I'm on Lipotrim which is a VLCD, £36 a week and you have to go to the pharmacy, so you have the weekly weigh-in's to motivate you. I have 8 and a half stone to lose, and can't face it taking forever, I lose 2 st 1lb in 5 weeks which is a real motivator to carry on. The first week is really...

Thanks for that info, really interesting. I had heard that, but think I will cut down on the exercise until I start refeeding, as let's face it LT is no walk in the park and i don't want to slow things down more than I have to!

Thanks for the link. Gok also has done a book called How to Dress Better which you can get for a steal on Ebay. I agree that after years spent hiding all the flesh now it's time to accentuate your shape, even as you start to lose weight. We should be proud of those appearing curves!!! I think...

I have found I get stomach cramps after playing badminton. I've been playing 2 x week. do you think that's too much. Don't want to do anything to slow down the weight loss, so might cut back if people think that's a bad idea

Hi Having just been out on a big night out without drinking anything but water, you can do it. It's not as hard as you think, and the more weight you lose the more confidence you will have without the booze. Apparently it's really hard to get back on LT after you've come off, and I'm sure your...

Congratulations. Must be so wierd to start eating again! Good luck to you xxx

I'm struggling Just at the start of week 5 and i am soooo hungry tonight. i am not normally like this, have been managing well with no slip ups. Just feel like there's such a long way to go as i'm really overweight, and whilst i have started getting compliments, and clothes are fitting. i'm...

Struggling with water Hi I'm really struggling with getting two litres a day, mainly due to my job as I'm out and about a lot and don't have access to the loo. I don't think I've hit 2 litres any day this week. How bad is that? REsolved today to make myself drink more water, as I heard this...

First week done, nearly finished second week REally pleased with my first week, I lost 11 lbs. Does it get easier though, i'm still getting hunger pangs afternoon and evening. Is there anything I can do about this?

It is getting a bit better Hi At least I know someone else understands! However I managed to sit through someone else having lunch today. Just really tired and weak at the mo. Went to the pharmacy today and changed the chicken soup cos I hate it. He said once you get into ketosis it get's...

Day 3 - Boy! Hi I started Lipotrim 3 days ago, and it's been ups and downs. I have just had my final shake and some peppermint tea and I feel lot better, but today has just been so hard. I can't stop thinking about food! I have heard day 3 and day 4 are the worst? Will this constant...
