    I would say carrying on LT trying to lose 'flab' like me, after thinking hard and speaking to lipotrim and other people, I think your just going to end up with more flabby skin if you try and 'tone' using LT. Also you could risk simply losing muscle muslce from major organs. Your much better off...

    How much do you think youv'e put on? Either way those are amazing losses and shows you can do it again. When I did my first 4 weeks of LT and I got a bad absess on my back and got admitted into hospital and had to come off it. I went up about a stone and a half.

    Yes thats a really good idea. I did that today too and I found that helped. I set myself the goal of trying to finish a 1l bottle from my 2nd shake. It helps that I have drink 250ml with every 2 Fibre sure tablets I have to take to keep me regular. Do you take anything like that?
