    Sex life....

    I understand. At my biggest (22st) I dreaded sex. I couldn't understand how my boyfriend could be sexually attracted to me and didn't feel in the slightest bit sexy. I lost all the weight a few years ago and I was a different person! He appreciated it :-) Now the weight is coming off again I...

    Addicted...

    I'm exactly the same! Jayellekay I'm just like you. If it doesn't move or creeps up it makes me drink more water. I know that my scales do not match my CDC scales but it doesn't bother me, when the weight is coming down I stay motivated.

    What to do at Christmas?

    Guys, they are all fantastic comments! I'm no nearer to a decision but i know it needs to be controlled all the time. I think (and its still only think) i'll do two packs a day and a dinner in the evening. The people I'm going with are not eaters. I can envision dinners being meat and veg...

    What to do at Christmas?

    I can't believe i'm thinking about it in september! Just shows how I'm learning to plan. Spoke to my CDC this week about it, I'm going to Scotland with my other half's family and have decided not to SS, so think I'll do step 2 or 3. What's everyone else thinking of doing? Sx

    anyone eat the cambridge bars?

    I have a question! Why can't you have the bars in weeks 1 and 2? The carb content is low enough that it would only delay ketosis for about an hour and as long as you drink loads of water with a bad, I don't get it!? Maybe it's about getting out of the habit of eating or something? x

    gross question about digestion.. DETAILS BE WARNED

    I haven't experienced this problem this extreme. When indie lipotrim j was on it for 7 months, my first month did have a dodgy tum, but it was manageable. Which step are you on? Bare in mind if your on a liquid diet then liquid is what you expect! I'd call my CDC if I were you babe x

    Any advice for a day 1 Cambridge dieter ??

    As long as you're dedicated on Cambridge, you'll be fine. 2 stone goes really quick on a diet like this so your focus will be on maintenance I reckon. The water is the key, and keep busy! Good luck hun x

    why is lipotrim safer than eating a balanced diet of 425 calories of real food

    Falling off LT train... can you go back?

    oh honey i'm sorry your struggling. if losing weight this quickly was easy everyone would be skinny. Lipotrim is a commitment. we have to do 100% or not at all. the lovely weather does seem to make it hard, everyone is in pub gardens and parks having a great time, but dammit go do it too...
  79. xsarahloux

    Any tips please?

    hope you're getting on ok! my advice: take the shakes when you're hungry - i use about 270ml water. carry water with you at all times! you should drink at least 2 litres pure water a day then additional water is in your shakes and black tea/coffee. its doable to be on it for that long - I did...

    how long after the week or two of refeed can you introduce alcohol???

    i asked this question in the refeed section just yesterday! the responses were basically as long as you're out of ketosis you can drink, but best to stick to spirits and diet mixers due to calories, sugar and carbs. xx

  126. xsarahloux

    how long should you stay on the shakes etc before refeeding?

    i agree with Jon, the first 2 weeks are probably the hardest so don't make yourself have to do it twice! however, lighterlife and cambridge say you can stay on for 12 weeks at a time, but lipotrim doesnt seem to mind, i've been on for 7 months without a break. Sxx

    i agree - may as well have a fibre drink of pint of water to fill you up. i have taken all the diet pills in my lifetime and i swear i never wanna do it again! hate being reliant on it! i agree with the psychological bit too, may as well take a placebo - or a tic tac! may work just as well. the...

    alli

    yeah that's what i heard too - it prevents fat absorption rather than appetite suppression. there is a herbal method around, tablets called Hoodia Gordonii. it sounds ridiculous but its african cactus or something(!) my mum tried it for a few weeks but swore it made a difference. can be bought...

    Appetite suppressant

    i agree with soon2byummymummy - most of us confuse hunger with thirst apparently. maybe next time you're hungry - get a glass of water or something and see how you feel 30 mins later. good luck hun x

    Is Lipotrim free if you are on benefits?

    not to my knowledge hun, as far as i know you have to pay. but some have said their doctor can prescribe it but i think that is a reduced cost rather than free? i'm sure someone more helpful will be along shortly! xxx

    Having a fat day

    i think we settle into our bodies very quickly and i agree that once you buy clothes that are more fitted and smaller you feel like you're filling your clothes which means it is just a psychological reaction. totally get it tho, i feel much slimmer in my baggy clothes! to be fair tho the size...

    :( Feeling on Edge

    aww i feel for you hun, it is very hard, but as is everything, you get out what you put in so take it a day at a time, a pound at a time and you'll be done before you know it. you've done it before so you know you can do it. you also know that the first week is the hardest and you'll find...
  240. xsarahloux

    Just wondering

    it would be possible yes, as you would be having far less calories that you normally would. but there is no point. you should either do all or nothing or you might as well do slimfast. Lipotrim is Total Food Replacement and should be treated as such. maybe slimfast would work for you, or...

    My friend has just scared the crap out of me

    you won't go into ketoacidosis if you do lipotrim properly, ketosis yes (not dangerous) ketoacidosis no. i suppose the flip side is we all know the long term affects of being overweight and they are very dangerous, and also include diabetes, so the choice is yours! they wouldnt be run by...

  247. xsarahloux

    so what happens when i finish?

    i think they're pretty similar, but it depends what your problem with food is. SW teaches you what to eat and WW teaches you about portions. I do tend to make healthy choices (not ALL the time obviously or i'd have never got to 22st!) but portions are my problem. xxx
