    Wanting to start Lipotrim...

    Echo everything that Laura says (good post Laura) All I will add, is the 1st week is expected to be the biggest loss - some have losses of 5 or 6lb, others 16lb or more. This can be dependant on how much you have to loose, and as you are close to healthy bmi, your losses may be lower than...

    help please. thinking of swapping to lipotrim!

    Hiya, you must go to a chemist for the TFR products, the maintenance products you can go online for. TFR products are 36.00 p/wk. The alternative - if you don't have a chemist near you is exante - this can be bought online and you still go into ketosis. If you're on atkins now - you know the...

    More Water in Shakes?

    Hi ! I make mine with 400ml at work (in my shaker) then 2 at home I make with 630ml - odd amount I know - but more than that its too weak, but it gets me an extra bit of water towards the end of the day when I'm getting a bit tired of it. Good luck !

    I agree wholeheartedly - but, the way I was going - 19st 4 at my heaviest, I was going to die early anyway - so in my opinion - LT is doing something about it - not just trying and then giving in on a traditional diet. Good luck honey, you can do it, for you, for your life, for your kids and...

    Scotsmist diary - from 1 jan 2010

    Hi Iris, I'm so pleased for you - it really is going to work. I actually hope the ED course is postponed until April - I think it would be more beneficial and appropriate when you are at goal.. Plus if you are at goal, the ED course with give you a focus whilst refeeding/maintaining. I tried...

    bells - if you are doing lipotrim - those bars are fine (disgusting in my opinion) but fine. Chelly and I are talking about the bars on the exante system - which isn't lipotrim. Chelly - I'm avoiding the exante bars for a couple of reasons: 1. I like them too much and it reminds me of real...

    I'm back on Lipo....hooray!!!

    welcome back - you'll only be here a couple of weeks or so and you'll be gone again !! good luck !! Caren.x

    how much water is too much

    Your losses may be affected - but thats all. You may feel dehydrated - and you may automatically drink more anyway if thats the case. Have you tried sparkling or soda water ? Caren.x

    the weekend :(

    Lady, how are you managing your saturday night?? Hope all is well and you are resisting - my hubby is just making a bacon butty - smells beautiful. I'm staying on the 'puter though!! Caren. x

    its what we are here for - to support each other !! well done for getting through the hard times. x
  126. nerac123

    Finding it very hard now..

    staying with it is the best way - if you have a break and try to come back it is more difficult. Week two nearly done - week 3 for a lot of people is a killer - so be prepared. 18lb to go... you'll be there in no time !! keep focussed. x

    wk 13 - is anyone else's weight loss slowing down at this stage

    Losses slow when you get nearer your ideal body weight - regardless of what you think that should be. In addition, there is a thread somewhere that warns against cardiovascular exercise - toning is fine, but too much cardio will not do you any good. Also - are you measuring rather than soley...

    Hi chelly you need to weigh yourself: same scales same place (exactly) same day same time same clothes (or non!) This will ensure accuracy !! I don't think you will get an accurate (properly) until you have done a full week on your new scales. -1lb - still, gone forever, and you...

    Mixing Exante and Lipotrim ??

    your ketosis should be kicking in now or very very soon and hopefully your feelings will pass. You can always re-visit the exante idea in a week or two if necessary. But I think LT is 'easier' to stick to, due to the lack of variety. Caren.

  189. nerac123

    FIRST WEEK!!

    the only reason the weight goes back on is through not eating sensibly and not monitoring your weight - nothing to do with how you lost it in the first place (in my opinion). For people that are heavily overweight, this is a real option - a motivation. I couldn't cope with 1 or 2 lb per week...

    LT in baking cupboard....

    abstinence - its 'easy' on LT. we know we can't have it or it will set us back a week. when not on LT - its hidden calories which don't get counted in the days intake (not that I was ever any good at counting anything - apart from the minutes to my next scoff!)
  196. nerac123

    LT in baking cupboard....

    Why do i do it - every time I prepare my shake, I have to get it out of the baking cupboard and I see the raisens and glace cherries and almonds etc etc etc ! I think I might move them to another cupboard. doh. I also think the remnants of my christmas cake will have to go in the bin now...

    Theresa, the bars are gorgeous. The thing you need to be aware of is the packs are 200 cals(ish) each - instead of 140 on LT. I do mix LT and exante (ok ok, I know I shouldn't) but, I can't stand the shakes on exante, but love the soups and bars. I have 2 LT shakes and an exante soup or bar -...

    Welcome Dawn !! Please don't be disappointed. This diet works. How much water are you drinking? should be 3-4ltrs per day. Is it TOTM? are you having all 3 shakes per day? Are you in/do you think you are in ketosis? it took me 7 days the first time I did this diet. Please don't give up -...

    What happens if we cheat?

    Stop... move away from the bread roll... stay on here with a large glass of water and the feeling will pass. If you do - you will be out of ketosis, the loosing process will take longer, you will have to get back into ketosis - which can be difficult if you have broken the diet. Once you...

    Great idea !! don't eat anything - you will knock yourself back 5 days or so to get back into ketosis. xxx stay strong. xx
  230. nerac123

    How much water do you drink?

    I drink between 3 and 4 ltrs per day, but I also make my shakes to 500ml, so thats extra. I don't drink tea/coffee - but that would count too. I was told if you drink much more than 4 ltr you body starts to retain the water and your losses aren't as quick. HTH. xx

    Day 6 and still not in ketosis!

    Hiya, welcome ! Not everyone has symptoms - so don't worry on that score, and some people don't even show on the ketosticks - my old chemist refused to give me any as they were unreliable!! Anyway, good luck for your first WI, let us all know how you do. Caren.xx
