For me Exante is so much better than LT, after a couple of weeks on LT I got to the stage where I could only stomach the choc shake, the strawberry and vanila were too sickly and the chicken soup yuk. I got a months pack of exante and enjoy them all, especially the bars which are yummy. I...

Thanks for your replies, it makes things a bit easier, and also for your kind words about my loss so far, I have a feeling it's going to get harder as I get nearer my goal weight!

Hi I'm thinking of starting Atkins after losing 5 stone on Lipotrim before xmas and have been reading the book. Could anyone tell me the best supplements to take, can I get an all in one or will I need to buy several different ones? and if so which brand etc.is recommended. I'm finding it all...

Thanks for your comments Sandra and Su. I'm counting down the puinds now, lost another today so hope to be finished Monday or Tuesday! wooohhhooooo. I see your both doing really well too, great stuff! xx How is refeed going Sandra? is it a bit scary eating properly again? It's brilliant you...

Had a great week, lost 7lbs which makes up for last weeks measly 1lb, so I guess 4lb average the last 2 weeks isn't bad considering all I ate! Hoping to keep with the 1lb a day as only 5 to go, can't wait to re-feed

Thanks Su - I've managed to lose a pound, so pretty pleased all things considered

Brilliant Sandra, well done

Hi Nicky Thanks for that and your right! Sounds like you had a brilliant hen night and I don't blame you for falling off the wagon for it, I'd have done the same. I see you've lost nearly 2 stone now which is brilliant. Well it's weigh in day tomorrow, normally I'm on the scales most days but...

Hi Sandra Please don't say well done to me, I have had a bad 3 days, friday had a carvery which was planned to celebrate another stone gone, but on Saturday I went to a family get together and had cream cake, sausage rolls and some chocolate AND chips on the way home and on sunday I had jacket...

Hi Nicky, really glad its going well for you and you are getting noticed

Brilliant if you can So So, you have much more willpower than me

Well done Nicky, bet your really pleased with your loss and hope it motivates you to carry on, stating the obvious here lol -you have lost more than a quarter of a stone in a week and thats with a slip up!brilliant! If you can do a week without a slip up you might get 6lbs and be well on your...

Well done, you look great

lol, bless them

Thanks Sandra, thats worth knowing about the muscle mass. I might have to step up the exercise as I have stopped smoking which apparantly burns about 250 cals a day. Your doing great too, have you tried it with the cats yet? lol or worried about being scratched, think I would be!

Your welcome - hope it works for you. I'm gonna calorie count big time once I finish and plan meals to 2000 cals a day, so I can still eat the stuff I like but also keep track of it. Thought I could have a cooked breakfast on a sunday and a roast but nooooo, I didn't realise how many calories...

You got less than 2 stone to go - fantastic, maybe try breaking it down into half stone targets, once you get to the first one your a quarter way there etc. It might make it easier than looking at the whole amount. I did that, but with weeks, I decided to do 12 weeks, and once I got through the...

might be your gaining muscle which is heavier than fat

It should take 2-3 days I would think, I had a carvery and was back in Ketosis 2 days later, and I lost 1lb less than usual next weigh in. These things happen, don't be upset about it, just remember how well you have done so far

Hi Jaynie I haven't done much exercise at all to be honest, I started off briskly walking the dog for half an hour a day for 5 days a week for the first few weeks and this last 2 weeks have upped it to an hour. I have been very concious not to do anything which might increase muscle, which will...

Different - yeah the thought of coming back on LT after xmas is tough, your doing really well, hope you don't need to. x

Slimmer Sue - I got nearly one and a half to lose before xmas, and the same again after, but I only put my pre-xmas target in the stats as I'm treating it as 2 seperate phases if that makes sense! lol. Know what you mean about being sensible!! I'm going to calorie count big time as I really...

Hi can I ask what people who have not reached their goal by Christmas plan to do - refeed or stay on TFR? I'm hoping to reach my pre-xmas goal by the end of the month, then re-feed for a week or 2 in time for xmas, then in January maybe come back on TFR, I might do a week, see what the weight...

Hope you had a really good night, even without you other half, it's a shame yu can't get anyone to babysit, must be hard not getting any nights out on your own. When is your weigh in day and how are you getting on?

I'm 6' tall and started at 18'4 in a size 20 (I was wearing 18 jeans but they were tight), I'm now 14'5 and just back in in a size 16 and I know when I was 13 stone for years I was a comfortable size 16 from most shops. I want to be 11'7 target weight but don't know if I will be size 12 or 14...

I got to say I work off my own scales as on weigh in day I weigh myself first thing in the morning, The scales at the pharmacy are in KGs and the pharmacist has to convert to stones and has messed up a couple of times, saying I have lost more than I have. I also think that when I come off LT I...

Well done, great loss

Brilliant loss, well done

38" blooming heck!!! no wonder you struggle. You are so lucky to just be able to smoke when you feel like it, I have to have one as soon as I wake up (or did lol). It's ok at the moment, got my patch one and one of those inhilator things, the real test will be the morning I think. My girl...

Funky - nothing wrong with being 5'2, my sister is 5'4 so don't know what happened with me lol, at least you can wear what you like! Frozen Angel - so are you gonna wear the shoes? Go for it! lol, I know what you mean about trousers but it seems much better these days, dunno how old you are but...

Wow - someone taller than me! I'm 6', know what you mean about the heels, I'd love to be able to wear them, but only do occasionally as I tower over everyone. Really good luck to you Frozen Angel, your first loss is really good!

I've lost nearly 4 stone (4lb to go) in the last 8 weeks, and have a stone and a half until I refeed for xmas which will put me in the healthy weight range (13 stone), hopefully by the end of November, then after xmas I would like to lose a further stone/stone and a half, but I would be happy...

Well I've just started period number 4 :-(( hopefully this will be the last for a while

Hope you stay with your normal cycle muffin princess, I've stopped taking the pill now until I finish LT, see if that improves things, seems a bit lighter this time so fingers crossed lol

Thanks Daisy, I'll see what I can find

Hi I wonder if anyone has had irregular periods on LT. I am on Cerazette and prior to starting I hadn't had a period for several months, which is normal with this pill, yet since starting LT 6 weeks ago I have had 3, about the first week after starting then a few days back to normal, then...

brilliant, well done!

Brilliant, you have done really well - a fantastic loss I too want to lose about 6 stone, should have hit 3 by Monday in week 6 but I think I'll probably have to finish off after xmas, planning to stay on it until the end of November.

Thanks for your replies and encouragement, I started my TOTM on Tuesday too and I noticed a post saying it affects the weight loss, decreasing it, but I still managed a stone so a real incentive to carry on, just hope it doesn't affect this coming week too much. I can't believe I have actually...

Hello there I wonder if anyone can help. I have just completed the first week on LT and have lost a stone exactly. I have a further 4-5 stone to lose, how much can I expect to lose each week from now on? I'm sure it won't be a stone a week, although I wish it was lol. I stick to the diet...
