Hi Little One..... Welcome to the gang! As far as I know you can use any artificial sweetner once it is in tablet form. If you hang on a while one of the experienced LT'rs will be along with their wisdom to help you. Good luck X

Hey guys! Loser 85...thats very funny...you were afraid to move incase the sick feeling came back. Yep I was the same when I got out of bed too as I couldnt believe that I felt like me again. Even woke my husband to tell him...which wasnt appreciated at 6am :D Pudge...hows my fellow corconian...

Hey Pink I use fibreclear in every shake and havent had any trouble in that department yet :p

Hi Pink! Welcome :) I started LT last year before my wedding and gave up after 2 months, which I will always regret. I got married in a dress that I felt so uncomfortable in for the day. I wish I had my time back and its a regret Ill always have. You stick with this and youll feel like a...

Hey guys :D Day 5 today... got up for work this morning and thought...I finally feel great. Headache gone, low mood gone, hunger practically gone....whoop whoop. Am sooooo happy that I stuck with it because day 3 and 4 were hell and I was thinking what have I gotten myself into. For anyone...

Dont be upset Sosohopeful....look at how far you have come....youve done an amazing job and have done what some of us can only dream off. You did most of the weight loss on LT and you can go the last step yourself....not far to go and there are so many ways of loosing weight. Id highly recommend...

Hi chuck! Glad all is ok with you :) I had the pains to the left of my chest the nite before last. Its frightening isnt it!! I was convinced I was having a heart attack too and my only concern was that my husband was on nite shift and I was home alone :( Drama! Maybe just one of the other...

Hey Trose! Ah its great to see someone from my side of world on this :p I totally agree with you when you say ww is for someone with only a couple of stone to lose, but when youve over 5 stone to lose, something like LT is a fantastic way to get you going. Im on nearly finished with day 4 and my...

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all of your messages. Its great to know that people are rooting for you. Well today is def a better day than yesterday...which wasnt hard. Hopefully that means I am on the other side of ketosis although energy levels are 0 today but I dont mind once the migraine...

Hi Batlo8! You are sooo right cutting down this week and starting next week...it wont be as hard for you. I made the huge mistake of eating big dinners at the weekend and I am paying the price for it over the past few days....am dying. You know you can do it....its just mind over matter. I felt...

Ha...brilll.....gave me a much needed smile tonite :)

Hey guys! This forum has been an absolute godsend to me tonite! On day 3 and migraine so bad this afternoon was vomiting with it. Had to go to bed at 4 and only feeling a bit better now. Brought up my lunch time shake along with most of my water (sorry for being crude). Trying my hardest to...

Thanks Pudge. Feeling awful today...really bad hunger and mood is quite low too which is worse than the hunger. I know its a matter of getting over the first week but its still fairly crap to be feeling like this. How are you doing? Glitzy X

Hey guys... Can anyone tell me if the million trips to the loo lessen as time goes on??? I know Im drinking aaallloootttt of water but I cant keep going on like this. Afraid to be too far away from the loo and my colleagues have to keep covering me so I can leave the desk. Glitzy :p

Ive been feeling sick since yesterday too Chuck....didnt have it the last time so good to hear that someone else is feeling the same effect (not glad youre sick :p just glad its normal :p) Managed to cook the dinner for the kids tonite which I absolutely could not face last nite. My headache...

Hi Pudge! Go you on getting rid of the people that are not good for you....what a great start to the New Year!!!! It is soooo hard working in the gym and being overweight...its also embarassing promoting health and fitness when I am hardly the pic of health! I am there 12 years and have been...

Hi Pudge.... Yea Im feeling like Ive the flu but I was putting it down to withdrawals from food? Since I got home from work I am freezing but my face feels really flushed and I feel groggy. Maybe we are both suffering the effects of STARVATION :p I am just thinking of how I will feel this time...

Hi Losingit! I restarted LT today and sat in my car outside of work at lunch time while having my shake. Not ideal but like you I dont want my colleagues knowing Im doing it. I dont know if that is an option for you but I think itll work for me for a while anyway. If you could get away with...

Hi guys....So didnt start at the weekend as planned so day 1 was today. Have a blinding headache.....do any of the more experienced know if I can take paracetamol? Am trying to avoid the kitchen while my husband cooks the kids dinner and the smell is driving me insane :( Fonzo i found the...

Day one almost done....feel like crap and have a blinding headache :cry:I know itll be so worth it but dont remember feeling this crap so soon last time. Please bring on week 2! How is everyone else getting on? Glitzy X

Hi yummymummy! Well done on the weight loss :) My husband is big into health and fitness and does triathlons so is totally against the LT diet but I am soooo determined this time round to do it. I lasted 6 weeks the last time and hope to do 8 weeks plus this time round. My plan is to go onto...

So went to the chemist and got weighed and my shakes for the week this evening....cant wait to start in the morning. Girl in the chemist so much...

Hi guys, Restarting the LT on Monday but my whole family and circle of friends are against me doing it again and finding this really disheartening. This diet is tough enough without their disapprovals. My husband wasnt happy either but he knows how miserable I am with my weight gain so he is...

Make sure to keep us posted on your progress Fonzo. This diet def works....I lost almost 6 inches off my waist in 5 weeks and was buying a size 16 instead of my usual 18. Hello Raringtogo!!!!! Youll be thrilled with the results in a matter of weeks. You say that you were reading stories of...

Hi guys...Im back again and cant wait to get started. Starting on Mon next and cant wait to see the inches and pounds dropping again like last time. Feeling a bit apprehensive as I know its supposed to be tougher second time round...any of my old gang still on this? Would be great to hear from...

Hi Lisa! 18 months ago I went from 15 stone to 10 stone (only to put it all back on) but at the time, according to those charts I had another one and a half stone to lose......incredible. I am 5ft 4" and was wearing size ten clothes yet was still being told I could lose more....seriously. You...

Hi guys, Had my 6 week weigh in today and lost another 3lbs....how happy am I :D Wanted to eat at my sons communion last weekend and didnt and I am soooo happy that I stuck with the diet. I bought a lovely dress for it and received loads of compliments that day. Only 3lb more to go and Ill have...

Thats fantastic.....go you! A weight loss like that is a great motivator to get thru the next week. Keep it up X

Welcome Littleflower! Yes the stories on this can be insprirational....I would be lost without this forum. I suffer from IBS and asked my pharmacist could I take Colpermin and she said it wouldnt be ideal as they contain oil and this can affect your state of Ketosis so I assume the same rule...

Hi Miss Desperate! Fret not....due to fainting two weeks ago I had to have something to eat and like you I have chicken salad and did have some bread(it was a sandwich). Still didnt feel great the next day so had another sandwich then and still managed to lose one and a half pound on my weigh...

Hi Vicki! Welcome :) Yea I find this forum a godsend.....it really helped me get thru the first few weeks. The advice from others is great and reading that other people are struggling too is good as you feel like you're not on your own. Well you know it works as you've been here before so you...

Hey, I really like the shakes at the start but over the past two weeks the thought of them makes me gag. It has just started to go now and I am starting to kind of like them again. Its horrible when the only thing that can pass your lips makes you feel sick. Hopefully it'll pass for you as it...

Hi, My scales weighs me in at almost half a stone lighter than the pharmacists one! Its true what the others say, every scales is different and thats why its best to stick with the one scales :)

Hi! Dont beat yourself up :) Look at the bigger picture.....you've lost loads of weight already... you fell off the bandwagon.... now get back on and start again :p I think its only natural that we have weak moments but once you get back on track thats the important thing. And you still lost...

Hi....lost another 1.5lbs this week....not bad considering :)

Hey Monkey30:) I am well again thanks! Thanks for the other diet suggestions, have been researching them over past few days and think they may be the ones for me. Now I am feeling great past few days so will see how I go for another week or two and may switch to one of them if I start to feel...

Hello! I am great again thanks! Can you believe I still lost one and a half pound this week, sooooooooo happy :D I dont normally suffer from low blood pressure but I reckon I had a bug at the time and my body just couldnt handle it all...so decided to shut down :confused: Anyway, finally have my...

Hi TanyaJane! All ok now which is great :) I still felt quite shaky which is why I ate again on the second day. Since then the dizziness is gone and I finally have my energy levels back again. Doctor reckons could have just had a bug as I was getting sick too and the fact I was getting no food...

Hey guys! Need advice from some of the more experienced LT'rs!!!! I fainted during the week, was told my blood pressure was quite low. Dont know if this had to do with LT? I had been out for a half hour walk with my daughter in her buggy, nothing strenous and once got in the door, felt woozy and...

Hey guys, Lost another 3 pounds today....was intially a little disappointed as had a really tough week and wanted to see a good weight loss but the bigger picture always looks good...another 3 and a half pounds to go and Ill have one and a half stone gone in a month :D God has it been a tough...

Hi Bobbie! I have had to exact same week as you too! I have been really cranky and obsessing about food and just plain miserable. Really hit a wall this week and felt like just giving up yesterday. I know i wont as I have lost lots of inches and down a dress size already so will keep going but...

Hi guys, My pharmacist assured me that any toothpaste will do so dont worry about what one you use. However, there is only a certain mouthwash that you can use, it has to be mint flavoured. Ger X

Hi Betsy! You look incredible....oh my god!!!! Looking for some advice from you on the exercise front. I too was big into exercise up until approx 18 months ago when I was ten stone and big into step aerobics, cycling, power walking etc. I very stupidly put it all back on and am finally losing...

Hi guys, It doesnt affect the vitamins etc, it is just recommended that you drink them within 20mins otherwise the taste and texture is affected. I have stuck to this rule from day one but made one the other nite and forgot about it (had to wrestle my 4yr old off the kitten and then go find the...

I'd say it is normal, our bodies are going thru a big big change!!!! I found that mine only lasted a 4 days as opposed to the normal 6 or 7 so I'd say its normal for us to be experiencing this :(

Thanks for that Claz.....there is light at the end of the tunnel. Its horrible when you have to force yourself to have the shake. I am still sitting here thinking....in a min Ill have it. I've been saying that for over an hour now :>

Fret not my pet, I was over a week late this month and I AM NEVER EVER EVER late! 28 days exactly every month without fail. I nearly had a heart attack when I was looking at my diary and realised I was late, I hadnt noticed as I have been wrapped up in the whole LT saga!

Hey guys, I seem to have had a turn off towards the shakes over the past days. Has anyone else experienced this. Its not going to put if off OBVIOUSLY but I am at a stage where I am dreading drinking it and it makes me feel a little sick. I have to make myself have my last one in a min. Dont...

Thanks for all your lovely message guys X

Hi Pauline, I am into week 3 and have only just started suffering from dry lips too.....soooooooooo annoying. I reckon its to do with the water intake, well thats what I am putting mine down too. I have been finding the water drinking a little hard the past few days so reckon this is the cause...

OH MY GOD!!!! Its people like you that give the rest of us inspiration, thats an incredible weight loss. GO YOU X

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me how to change my weightloss on the tracker. I clicked on the tracker and its asking me for a pin number but I dont have one?????

Hey guys, lost another 5.5lbs this week, thats a stone gone in two weeks. Soooooo happy! Really giving me the motivation to keep going. Lost 4 inches off my waist and 2 off my hips. Already down a dress size. Have my first wedding dress fitting in 2 weeks so hopefully will have another half...

Hey guys, It is my sons communion in 3 weeks and I am considering refeeding just for the day. I dont really know if this is a good idea! By the time the communion comes Ill be on LT over a month and will hopefully have good bit of weight gone by the way. Obviously I dont want to mess this up...

Ha ha ha ha True that!!!!!!

ha ha ha I was the same with my daughter the other day. She handed me her sausage to blow on it to cool it down. I nearly inhaled it up into my nose I was sniffing it sooooo hard :D

Thanks guys, Monkey your weight loss has been incredible, well done. Its good to know it will pass, light at the end of the tunnel. Nell, I can actually drink the shakes although I seem to have had a turn off towards them over past day or so. My water intake hasnt been as good as it usually...

Hi, I make a fab choc mint shake and it really is a lovely treat! Mix ice cubes, water(whatever ml you like), your choc sachet and a couple of listerine strips into a blender and blend away......hey presto....a nice choc mint treat. PS the listerine strips are the breath fresheners you place on...

Hey! You really are in a predicament :( You would be mad to stop the diet just for a weekend away. Why dont you stick to the shakes while you are away, not ideal but breaking the diet is def not ideal. You dont have to sit at the table drinking your shake, you could have it before each meal and...

Hey guys, Into week 2 of LT and was wondering has anyone else been sick on it? Dont mean to be crude but was sick last nite and again today (although you'd wonder what I could possible have in my stomach to actualy make me sick). PS. Just cooked dinner for 6 people, spag bol, garlic bread...

Hey loopidoo! Just to let you know lost 9lbs in my weigh in yesterday....sooo happy :D Will keep me motivated for the next sevens days. Still feeling hunger pangs on and off, are you the same? I think I am def over the worst of the side affects but Sunday just gone was really bad. I was teary...

Hi, I know exactly how you feel! I also lost a fortune of weight last year only to put it all back on again :eek: I am so disgusted with myself so I hear you on that front. I am getting married in July and want to look as fab as I did last year when I was slim so going to stick to this, even...

Hi, The hardest part is week one, if you can get thru that you'll be sailing. I am into week 2 now and so happy I put up with the hunger pangs etc. I lost 9lbs and that will spur me on for the next week. You will find the same on your first weigh in. Week one really is soooo hard but keep it up...

Hi, You should def keep up the walking. As the others said you prob wont be able to do much for first week, I am just finished week one and had very little energy for walking and I love to walk. You should def mix your walking with some toning exercises too. I have kids too and know time is of...

Hi, I am in the same boat as you today, I am 4 days in and just feel so low too but it is great to see that others are feeling it too (not glad you feel like crap, you get my drift though ;)) Was nearly crying on way to work today :confused: My sister did this diet and she keeps telling me to...

Thanks a mill! Know I shouldnt have done it but my pants already a little loose and wanted to see the results. Think I'll stick to my weigh in with my leader :)

Hi Dee, You should be fine as you are a good few days in and it would take more than a tab to send you out of ketosis. I had trouble sleeping too but am fine again so hold tough, it will all sort itself out. Dont think that you have undone any of your good work, you havent!!!! Keep it up :cool...

On day 4 of LT! Hunger still really bad, hopefully will be gone soon!!!!!! Walked into work and felt like crying, so not like me, am quite teary and feeling low :cry: I am finding the nites really long now, why is this? Doing the same things as normal but the nite seems to be dragging on. Had my...

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. On day four, still starving :<

Hi guys, On LP for 2 days now and i was wondering has anyone else experienced tingling sensations on and off around the face? :(

Well done on your weight loss :> I think that people do the lipotrim because you cant stray at all on that diet whereas with other diets when you can eat what you want its easy to get away with having that sneaky pack of crisps. Lipotrim is an extremly strict diet and some people need to have...

Hi guys, On my first day of LT....starving. About to have the chicken soup for my dinner. Can anyone tell me can I add salt or spices to it? I dont want to do anything that is not allowed!!! Thanks, Glitzy

Hi Guys, Getting married in July.....want to look fab in my dress so started LT yesterday. Starving and feel like crap. How long does it take for the hunger to subside? Feeling really nervous about doing this diet, so many bad side affects. Cant afford to be feeling like crap with 2 kids to look...
