Pepper in the soup should not make any difference as it has no calories and does not effect Ketosis. My chemist has suggested it to me and used it herself with no bad effects :)

Thats a fantastic loss! My first results were quite simular and I hope to continue with another 3ish months and see how it goes :)

I would leave it off untill you are done with lipotrim to be honest. it will be a nice treat after refeed :)

Hey everyone, I am back on 100% as of today. I took a month break due to family commitments and to be honest I wish i had not as I took the piss and ate enough for a small country :( I gained 20 pounds back during this month so I need to get my butt in gear and start working towards a...

I have fibre clear everyday and it really helps. Dont worry about the calories in it they are not enough to make any difference otherwise lipotrim wouldnt support it :)

never mind i managed it all today :)

So i am almost done with my refeed now and was thinking of using the soups and shakes after as just general low calorie meals when I am in a rush. my parter says I can not drink if I even have one of them a day, Is this true? I am obviously not drinking until my refeed is complete but if i...

So i have started my refeed now and I can honestly say I dont really like the maintance products. Strange world :)

it seems like so much! I had about 2 oz of chicken and a small bowl of salad and was satisfied. I hope my tummy stays this way forever there will be nothing left of me :)

Another 4 pounds gone brining my total in 8 weeks to 51 pounds! I am so happy and proud of myself :) I start refeeding tomorrow night when i run out of normal food and will still be hanging around but taking a month off and will be back at the end of July to continue my journey.

:cry: I have weigh in tomorrow

only a few days left before my break so I am getting a bit excited- I have enough food until thursday but I am meant to come off friday, I hope I dont have to buy a full week of food for it! But ya I am just after TTOM and feeling a little backed up so I am not sure how this weeks loss is...

If you are a coffee drinker then try the cho and vanilla with coffee as it is quite nice hot or cold.

Fibreclear! Keeps me going for the most part, although not working at the moment so I feel your pain. You might need a laxitive- esp if you are near weigh in ;)

Good luck the two of you, I am sure it is going to be great to do it together as you will be able to support each other on your journey :)

Holy heck that is a ton of weight to lose in 16 weeks :) Great job, Any secrets you can share with us?

Its only the first week that is the most difficult, I promise it gets much better once you get into Ketosis, Getting in is hard on your body but once you are there you will feel a lot better :)

Apparently you get super fertile on lipotrim or so my chemist has told me, I dont know if that will effect any decisions

I noticed after 3 weeks myself :)

Thats Amazing! Well done, I hope to have a pair of those later this year as well :)

Well I just sit down with her and have a chat about goals and how i am getting on, any struggles i am having and she gives some advice because she did it for 3 months herself so she can completely relate to the struggles.

Think of how far that you have come :)

How did the weigh in go?

Do they not have appointments? Oh goodness I thought that was standard as you will need about a 15 min window atleast. Mine as always been appointment perhaps it is time your chemist start that to avoid the situation that you were put in.

I don't want to be the token fat friend anymore, I want to be a normal size like everyone else :) I also want to get married in a few years (hope other half knows hehe) and I want to be slim for that to wear a cute dress. I want to be no longer self conscious all the time about what i weigh...

well I know mr. eiregirl is doing it at the moment and he is a typical man chips and fried meat but he has actually said that salad is the nicest thing for him at the moment, His mom nearly had a stroke when he said it as he has never eaten anything green in his life! lol

For sure ask your chemist as they actually have a ton of sugar in them for flavor :(

The first week is going to be tough but then it gets much easier after that, Keeping yourself busy is the best thing to do :)

Honk day 53!

I start refeeding next saterday and I am getting a bit excited. I am going to be taking a month break due to family visits and stuffs so i am a bit scared of food and am terrified to undo what has already been done, But i know if i stay focused and eat sensibly i should be alright

2 pounds this week means you have lost 17 in 2 weeks which is incredible :)

Thanks guys, and al you will still have a loss first week normally has a decent loss :)

Another 5.2 pounds gone yipeeeeeeee

Looking back I think i scared myself a bit last night lol. 1 hour and counting! and another DD changed!

You know what, I have realized while on this diet I am in control of me, If i want to get skinny do something about it. If I want banks not to muck up everything- DO IT MYSELF. I realized most of my direct debits are through my card so I am going to take control and change them all myself...

My weigh in is tomorrow morning as well but it is my 6th. I have tried 2 different scales and I always got different results- 1 was a full stone under what my previous weigh in was (not that i minded at the time :) ) But I would say be careful about weighing yourself as you can feel down as...

It can be quite different with everyone, I know i have not lost the same yet and tomorrow is my 7th weigh in. I think how much you have to lose factors in but i am not sure as so many people have different losses.

Thats a good quote I quite like it, Gunna get it inked on my fork hand!

Thats what Primark is for! or pennys for the irish

Absolute rubbish day. I am changing banks and my current bank canceled the transfer of my DDs and it will take 2 weeks to get set up and now I am paid into the other account and it is just a disaster. My work computer is barely working and i lost all my little things. I am just really annoyed...

I do get dizzy spells a bit but they normall pass after a few minutes

Dont lose heart hon week 2 of any diet is always not as good because you have lost so much weight the first week. It will also depend on how much you have to lose and you dont have stats up so i cant tell :) Keep going and you will have a fantastic week 3 :) 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 :)

With ketosis dont worry too much about the color, Once you have atleast pink on the ketostix you are in ketosis and they will vary during the day due to water and meals and stuffs. Like last night i had 2 different colors in the space of an hour! But to be honest I only test out of boredom :)...

Listen to your body as you will be adjusting and can get dizzy easily. It is not generally recomended in the first few weeks but go for it and know when you have had enough for one day

It can take a few days to feel the effects for Ketosis, I think it took me a week for the hunger to go away so stay strong and you will be there before you know it

Generally you can lose up to a stone a month or about 4 pounds a week is pretty normal :) Good Luck you will do great :)

That was exactly what I came here to say. I can not stress enough that we that like the flapjacks are a small number but I know at first I did not like coconut but they grew on me and now i love them. Give them a try toasted not raw! and you may like them but you could end up cursing us for...

Woohoo! Ba careful with driving though because you will never walk anywhere again (if your anything like me :) )

yesterday My sis had a BBQ for her graduation for her Masters. Food all around me :( I was good and only had my water and flapjack but my sis and her bf (who did LT) kept saying have a bit of chicken it wont matter! or a tiny bit of steak it wont hurt. I got quite annoyed at that as I have...

I use the soup for work and mix it in a mug, But i am in the small majority that like the soup :P

Try taking some tablets and you should feel a bit better in a while. In the first few days the rubish is coming out of your system so you honestly wont feel the best but once you get into ketosis it will be much better :)

Fantastic Loss :)

Its ok Sarah it happens to the best of us. Once you have a 100% week you should get right back on track to your goal :) The feeling that you have mentioned is why I am dreading going back to food, I also have realized it is only nice for 5 minutes and then it is just the full or nothing...

I try to drink most of my water early to avoid this haha. nothing worse then getting no sleep coz your bladder is full :( But yes expect about 8923764823 loo trips a day :)

With this diet a stone in 2 weeks is not guaranteed. A stone is an absolute ton of weight! I am sure on your weekly weigh in you will have a fantastic result so please don't lose heart. It didnt come on overnight and it is not going to come off overnight either but thats why we are all...

I am actually feeling quite down the last 2 days guess it is just my body realizing it has been without food for almost 7 weeks now and it is sad. I really wanted something to eat yesterday and a bit today but I am just down today coz I know it is going to be quite a long day and it will be the...

We have to get excited about something :)

Coffee in the shakes if freaking lovely :) I also add a mint strip and then it it is a choc mint mocha :cool:

I lost 9 pounds my first week :)

You will get there on this diet for sure :) The only hard part can be keeping focused but once you are in the zone it is so much easier :P

Another week down and I am feeling great! I have gotten a few complements from work peeps who say I am getting thinner every time she sees me and that is really great and motivating. Over the weekend I had a work night out and I ws unsure of if I was going so I picked a random dress out of my...

What a fantastc loss :) Well done

Another 4 pounds gone and I have now been able to fit into an 18 dress and shirt - Delighted :)

I started because it has become popular at my other halfs work place (lazy gamers lol) and my sisters O/H has lost 7 stone on it so I said I would give it ago. It it a bit more expensive in Ireland but I find it is a better diet for me as it is strict, I have done weight watchers before but it...

It does get much easier, I have told myself this is the food I eat now and it is up to me to stick to it. I dont get bothered by seeing other people eat as I know my goal and I need to eat this food to achieve it :) I have been on 6 weeks now

WOW that is an incredible weight loss :)

Thats fantastic bex!

I have been doing a ton of biking at the gym, I dont think it will hurt and I am hoping it will make me a bit less wobbly when i get to my goal. There is also self satisfaction knowing that you are helping the diet a bit more and even if it does not effect weight loss drastically I know it is...

To my knowledge we dont do that with Lipotrim. I think another big diet company does a milk week or something but I think we can keep on trucking as long as we need to.

For me gym 3-4 times a week and lose atleast another stone if not more!

Its ok :) Exams are super stressful and it can be easy to slip up. Once you are back on track it will be all good :) Chin up you are going to do fantastically this time around and if you have any weak moments come on here and we will help you stay on track, I am around most of the time (Desk...

Perfect, THis diet does not need any help and is pretty good for getting rid of weight fast :) I have lost 37 pounds in 5 weeks but mind you I have about another 60 to go in total so I hope you will have the same sort of luck with the diet :)

I dont think taking anything like that is recommended on Lipotrim, You will lose weight on this diet without the help of tablets as your body is in ketosis and will lose fat. I would recommend asking your chemist to see what she/he thinks just incase there is something in there that might...

Toast them and they are much nicer :)

It really does get better after about 3-5 days :) until then it is pretty touch and you just have to try your best to get through it/\.

I spell good!

I would keep going until you are happy with your body, I know I plan on overshooting my target by atleast a half stone as that is going to come back on after I start eating again. If you keep going and you dont feel that you look great then eat a touch more untill you get to a place where you...

Always try and have your 3 shakes otherwise your body is going to panic and not lose any weight. Try and have 2 at once maybe if you can manage or try it as a mouse to see if that goes down a bit better.

Never trust your own scales as they lie and also your weight will change by up to 1-3 pounds during the day depending on water intake and shakes

We had a big heart to heart last night and this is going to be his last week as it made me so sad that he is so depressed. He will re-feed when he is out of food and then he will be starting Slimming world online as he just can not cope without the food. We only have 3 weeks left before our...

I actually do the same thing. For me I have a desk job so it is easy to just sit there and drink water all day. actually ends up being a bit annoying tbh :)

Just after 5th weigh in and another 7 pounds gone so it is 37 all together! I am so delighted with this weight loss and dont want to come off when family are visiting but it will be a test to see if I can eat sensibly for a while. I know I have to come off at this time because my other half is...

My pharmacist has been away for 2 weeks and saw a difference in my appearance!

Great Job :)

Make sure you take it easy and don't push yourself too much, If you feel faint or light headed stop right away and take a break. You will need to find out what works for your body so try different things and see how you feel, The gym should be able to help you create a program for yourself based...

You will also get perm stinky breath :( It will be a metallicy taste that is kind of hard to shift - At this point i dont really recomend the strips as they can only do so much but I would say to keep a toothbrush handy :)

Best to ask your chemist to be sure but I do personally put pepper in the soup and it makes a big difference but I have not yet tried curry power. But once it is the spice and not a mix I can imagine a small bit would be ok :)

We should really ask the Mods to Sticky that explanation for the newer people as it is the best explanation I have seen here :)

WOW That is absolutely fantastic! Well done :)

Due to work I had 10 days between weigh ins so a bit of extra weight came off, another 7 pounds! yippeeee!

sure you need to drink atleast 2 liters of water a day min anyway so if you have a bit of water after a shake does that mess it up? I would love to know her logic behind that

it may end up being the case that I do it alone but I will have to see he is going to stick to 3 more weeks and then we have a break as loads of family are coming from overseas and we are going to reevaluate after but I do think it will just be myself or weight watchers instead

My boyfriend is doing this with me for support and he has become so negative and it is getting hard for me to cope with it. He is not motivated to lose weight as it is not something that he cares about at all he is happy with how he is and that is perfectly fine, does not effect how I feel...

I want to be thin again, I feel ashamed when I look in the mirror and realize how bad I have gotten. I dont want to be the token fat friend I want to be a normal size and be able to walk into any store and buy clothes. For me it is a self worth thing, I didnt care about my weight as much when I...

I always have a ton of water in my shakes and i think it is fine :)

If you keep your mind on your goal it can really help :) When I think of cheating I just think of all the hard work I would be throwing away for about 5 minutes of eating as I would feel nothing but guilt after it.

Are you feeling any better today? I think the heat does not help really as I am so tired and hungry at the moment but I am up much earlier then usual for work which is what i am blaming

awww Dont forget to kep in touch :) It looks like you did a fantastic job which is an inspiration to us all on the hard days :)

Fantastic!

Thats a fantastic loss well done :) I keep motivated by knowing that it will be worth it as hard as it can be at times. I am working my way towards a better and thinner me. It will be even better when you can notice a difference in your clothes as it will really motivate you :)

I am finding I am actually quite hungry!

Maybe going for walks will help as that can give you more more energy, but that depends if you are up to it or not. I always find the more I do the better I feel on this. But that being said I still have sleepy days where i just want to curl up and sleep for the rest of my life

day 23 honk!

Fantastic loss daisy! 5 almost seems like a magic number for you :)

To be honest there isnt really a point on Lipotrim as you wont get hungry after a while :)

Once you dont have it every night it is not a problem :) a treat every now and then is okay

Oh goodness, I have just tried this and it is like a different soup! I cant use the hand mixer in work where i normally have the soup and i am quite sad about that now.

For your hen night be careful when you are in ketosis your alcohol tolerance goes WAY down so if you are drinking on your hen night be very aware of your drinks as 3-4 drinks could knock you on your backside!

I would call Lipotrim and let them know the location as it is giving their product a bad name and it doesnt sound like it is a great pharmacy to give you a mens shake and tell you to half it!

I think the gym or walking is a great idea, I have asked my pharmacist about it and she says to go for it one you dont overdo it. As kay says listen to your body and do enough for you without hurting yourself or getting dizzy. I am trying to go biking for half an hour to day to help make my...

I actually like them all but i am not a majority here. Try one of each and the rest of a flavor that you generally know you like and if you dont like the others you only have one of them :)

Honk Day 30!

try putting [ at the start of the url

Ahhh you are using the same meal plan as me! I thought I was very random in my selection so I am glad someone else likes it as well

Operationslim, They only have a small calorie difference in them and will not effect your weight loss in anyway shape or forum I would imagine as i think it is 50 calories and 1 pounds is 3500 calories so you would have to eat a whole ton of them ie 3 a day for quite a long time to make a...

Honestly, personal scales lie! Do not believe them! I used my dads scale the night before my weigh in and it said that I stayed the same and I almost ended the world around me but when I went in the next day I had lost 4 pounds. Wait untill your weigh in because it will just be torture to not...

Be careful, as you need certain things for your body to work correctly and one lipotrim shake and chicken are not going to give you enough to make sure you are functioning in a healthy way. I have lost 2 stone in my first 4 weeks and that is a good loss but most people would lose between 3-6...

Good luck hon :) How is today going for you?

That such a great loss for your first week :) Great job :) This definitely is not easy but it will be worth it once you get to your goal weight.

The gym will react differently with everyone but I cant imagine it will hurt as it will help tone you up as you lose weight with will help your body look better :) and yes peeing 3428957 times a day is normal for the first few weeks but then it levels off a bit, I think yesterday I went like 8...

I am actually dreaming about food as well? Maybe it is the diet messing with us. But I was very proud of myself in my dream I was packing a lunch with chicken and veggies??? I was expecting something naughty with it but hey if I am going to train myself to eat right after this maybe that is a...

So end of week 4 and I have lost another 4 pounds which I am totally fine with as it is TTOTM so i didnt expect to lose loads but hopefully that means next week will be a small bit more. I have lost 30 pounds in a month which makes me so happy and makes me feel like I can do this for another...

I am down another 4 pounds to an even 17 stone which i am pretty happy with as it is that time of the month. But ya 30 pounds in 4 weeks for me is absolutely brilliant and I am beginning to see it a small bit in my clothes as well but not too much. Have to change my weigh in day from sat to...

7 pounds in 5 days? How on earth are you disappointed with that as that is such a great loss that you would be unable to get for any other diet! Also the 2 sachets could actually slow you down and not help you! I am not sure if your pharmacist explained to you but it is very important that...

I am partial to peanut, Coconut is just not for me but I would suggest that you try both like get one of each and see if you like them as it is love or hate with these

Ya it really changes the taste of them and makes then nice enough :)

Its ok Claire just breathe. How did it make you feel when you ate? Was it everything you had built it up to be or only alright? Blips can happen to the best of us but once you make tomorrow and the next day 100% FRD then it will be okay :)

Oh yes week 1 is a bit of a killer alright with moods and headaches so you are not alone in feeling this. Take a few paracetamol and limit human contact until you are in ketosis and it will be better I swear :) Although you should nearly be in Ketosis now on day 4 so it might just be completing...

Apparently it takes 12 months for skin to react to major weight loss. Maybe save up over the year and see how your body responds and hopefully it will tighten up. And if it does you have a ton of money for a new wardrobe :)

I am currently 3 and a half weeks in or 25 days in and I actually feel fantastic. Was all sluggish and sad the first week but I am so determined that I want to lose the weight and become a better fitter cuter me. I lost over 70 pounds before though good eating but ever since I got into a...

What great first week! If you have any tough days we are all here to support you as we are all in the same boat of working towards a better us :)

Honk day 26!

I just put in one and that actually packs quite a lot of flavor :)

I think what Daisy is trying to say is Haters gunna hate :)

Looking at your weight loss week by week you are actually doing quite well on the diet and are having some fantastic weeks. Perhaps your body is trying to catch up with the weight loss as 38(!!!) pounds in 6 weeks is a ton of weight to lose. What you could see happening in the next few days is...

I have actually found I prefer to keep it to myself just in case I fail as I know people will think it is too extreme, I don't like negativity around me during this diet.

Fantastic loss :)

I dont know why you are sad so are doing such a fantastic job! you are nearly half way through your journey and doing fantastic :)

Wowflooze, It is so wonderful to see you so motivated, I am in the same boat as well with fantastic results and when you get them you just think that you never want to stop this diet :)

Good Luck for today :)

I cant imagine boiled eggs can be bad, They are one of natures most perfect food with a great balance of protein and fat which make you full for ages :)

Day 24 honk!

OMG what a fantastic loss. Bartender I will have what she is having :gimi:

The best advice I can give is keep yourself busy and drink atleast 3 but no more then 4 liters of water a day as this will help flush out the rubbish in your system and help you get into Ketosis. 3 and a half stone should not take you too long so you should be able to achieve your goal well...

That is absolutely incredible! Well done on sticking to it and getting great results. The diet does get much easier as you go on through it which I am sure you are seeing at the moment. I aim for 3+ liters of water a day or as much as I can drink as I really think it makes you feel better...

I think with exercise you will have to listen to your body as it will tell you when you need to slow down or stop. I think exercise will help once you don't push yourself too far as that will start to build more muscle and that will lessen your losses.

Fantastic result :)

Paint your nails, paint your toenails, Go for a walk. The key to the first few days is drinking as much water as possible and to keep yourself as distracted as possible coz the first few days are generally the toughest as your body is going into Ketosis which will wreak your head for a little...

I have had the exact same experience. I think you have to be a point where you are so determined and the first time that does not always end up being the case. I caved after 3 days the last time but I have thought so much about it before I started and I knew this time I was going to succeed no...

Well done :)

Today is a new day hon :) Take it one day at a time and maybe Give yourself a gold star sticker on your List on the fridge you have made and then soon your fridge will show you well you are doing :)

Blips can happen but today is a new day and you can totally have a 100% day today! and tomorrow and then next day :)

Another 6 pounds gone down to 110 kg yay

Fantastic result :)

Fantastic results! Well done :) Even with your blips you have done fantastically :)

heh ya it is a very basic package that the ketostixs come in alright. But mainly they are used for Diabetes patients if I remember correctly but the low cab and lipotrim diet peeps have lovely embraced them :)

Your pharmacist should have them available otherwise I would check boots or somewhere for the Listerine strips as they are acceptable. PS put them into a chocolate shake :)

Ketostix are honestly not necessary, With this diet you are put into Ketosis. End of story. This is due to the food we are eating on the diet and the water. Most of the time on a ketostix you are just looking for some kind of pinky or purple color and it does not matter which as ketosis is...

Mint Strips in your Mocha! Makes such a difference :) Also in the chocolate shake as you get a lovely mint shake.

Vikki, I would only advise taking one or 2 at first as some people find them revolting and I dont want you to be stuck with something you cant avoid.

oooooo I am not sure actually, Just untill they are more brown and heated all the way through, I just use the normal toaster for it

Ya there are a ton of irish people on here which is really nice :) It is super tough at the start but once you see your first weight loss you will be over the moon :)

Great job :)

I think it works with both fine as they have the same calorie requirements. I would recommend the peanut ones myself, I wasn't too gone on the coconut. But I think they are a million times nicer toasted. I would recommend getting 1 for a week and see how you feel about it so you don't have to...

I work in a call center for a big internet retailer as tech support. Don't be jelly :)

I am looking at your weight loss and am in awe! You are doing so well, I hope I can keep up with your losses. I mean 45 pounds in 7 weeks is so incredible and if I can achieve that in the time you have I will be over the moon as it sounds like our goals are not too far off each other :bananalove:

Honk day 19 for yesterday!

That's actually quite funny you say that because that is actually how I feel at the moment. I am not missing food as much as I thought I would and I have just accepted that this is my food now and that's it! But I am quite lucky because I like the soup and toasted flackjacks so I am not having...

My co worker mentioned to me that I must have lost some weight and it must be down to all of the water I am drinking (She doesn't know I am on lipotrim, Just in case it doesn't go as planned) I know I can already feel a difference in my tummy and I have been so motivated recently because I know...

#ThinPeopleProblems :) I was expecting to see that Mr. C is too good looking now and has to buy a new wardrobe :D Apparently sleeping with a pillow between yours knees can help with this and also help align your back and pelvis.

Sometimes with while being in ketosis weight loss may not be as great but generally during those weeks you may see a change in the way your clothes fit or your general body shape, It could be your body trying to catch up with the weight loss to make you look even more fab :)

Wagamamas! I want all the gyoza!

I lost 9 pounds my first week and 8 pounds my second week. I think it depends on your body and how much you have to lose, I have quite a bit so weight loss may be fast for me (I am hoping anyway). I would say drink as much water as humanly possible as this will help the weight come off. I am...

honk for day 17

I am actually doing something simular. I am watching cooking things on youtube. I think we may be a bit sadistic :)

Irishgirl, You will find that out over the weeks coming off lipotrim, I would say it is mainly trial and error to find out which foods are the best for you that still help you maintain your weight and keep you happy and full of nutrients. I would say to stick to an Atkins like diet where you...

Hi Dolly, Welcome and good luck :) As Skinnylove said it is possible to lose that much weight but there is not room for slip ups. If you find yourself having a hard day come here and rant and rave and we will be here to support you :)

It gets easier to drink the water, although you will end up spending half your time in the loo :)

Woohoo!! :party0011: it looks like you are doing a fantastic job :)

Skinnylove, Thats whats happening to me as well but i did go a week without :eek: but a few days ago I think after copious amounts of fibre clear it has corrected it self :D but of course it could not have corrected itself before my weigh in, that would be way too much trouble for my body. I...

Day 16 honk!

Well done :)

Claire, The flapjacks cold are not so nice, pop them in the toaster and they are actually much nicer :)

Be careful about powdered sweetener as they contain a small amount of actual sugar to make it grainy. Once you didn't have loads you should be ok but it might be a good idea to pick up some tablet sweeteners so you can be prepared in the future :)

Thanks everyone :) Very proud of this. If i start going to the gym could I possibly maintain these losses every week if I do about an hour a day or would that be pushing my body too much?

How horrible of her! My pharmacist squees when I have a good week. I would really say try a different one because you need all the support you can get while on this diet.

Just got back from my weigh in and I am over the moon! Another 8 pounds this week bringing my total to 17 pounds. Losing 3 stone by july seems really realistic now :)

I have a question about erm that time of the month. I am just about to go for my second weigh in at the end of week 2 and I am beginning to worry a bit because my period is 8 days late:eek: I took a test during the week that came out negative but it was in the afternoon after drinking about 2...

Good Luck Colette we are all rooting for you :) It takes 28 days to change a habit so by the time you reach your goal weight you you be able to begin brand new healthy habits :)

I have my shakes out of a beaker lol. It is bigger and it allows me to have coffee with my shakes which is keeping me sane :P

Well the metallic taste is your body being in Ketosis so while it is a very yucky feeling it is a great sign that you body is burning away the fat! I have started to keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at my desk as it can get overwhelming at times and a good brush fixes you up for a few...

It is actually fantastic :) I had no idea such a little strip could taste so much and for refrence I generally have my mocha with about 700 mL of water and I get the perfect amount of mint

Fantastic! Feels good to see that your hard work is paying off :)

My current mantra is no pain no gain. I have been driven crazy in my office with unmentionable tasty things but I keep telling myself this is only going to taste good for the 2 minutes while I am eating it and then I will feel nothing else for it. This diet is a huge commitment but it also...

Make coffee with 2 spoons of coffee,a mint strip and sweetener and then Mix in choc shake with a hand blender. Cant live without my mocha :) Come to think of It I think I have only had 2 as shakes this week!

Congrats on a job well done! Such an inspiration to people just starting :)

I am on week 2 as well and my energy levels are much better then they were previously but I was always super tired before. Everyone says that after a while they do end up feeling much better and all full of energy :)

Well Depending on how long you are In Ketosis you may get away with a small bit of carbs and still be in it. I have tried low carb before and still stayed in despite a small mistake.

Yay for OH's being supportive. My other half is doing this with me as well and it really does make a difference, We have failed once before and this time we are so determined! The other day I was having a moan about how I wanted to eat and he came back and told me to think of this weeks weigh...

You do need all 3 shakes to make sure you stay healthy during the process and to make sure your body does not panic over the lack of calories it is getting. I find the Vanilla and Chocolate in coffee are great :)

I lost 9 pounds on my first weight in and Mr eiregirl lost 5 ( we are doing it as a team :) ) Very different results But I can say that the more water you drink the more yuckiness will be banished from your body

Having a tough evening as I am having very foody thoughts. I drank a liter of water and I hope that will keep me until I go to bed. I am ending day 9 and it is getting tougher by the day but I think it is mainly tough on my days off work when I would normally snack away all day whereas I cant...

Oh gosh hon keep on trucking. I am having very similar issues with body shape and feeling kinda worthless coz I have no self control. I just keep telling myself that it didn't come on overnight and it wont go away overnight either. The best things to do it keep sipping water all day and that...

How much would one normally lose after say the first 2 weeks coz I imagine you lose tons then due to all the mess in your system. I am going to be doing this for about 14 more weeks before a break when family comes over and I was wondering how much I could expect to lose during this time. I...

I got some this morning at my weigh in. I am excited for them as I like the chicken soup so much and not many people care for it so I hope the same thing happens with the flapjack :D And I have just tried the coconut flapjack. Dont think I will be sticking with them to be honest as I didnt...

If it is towards the end of the day it could be water weight as we are meant to be drinking that much converted into weight. Or even after a meal it could fluctuate.

You are currently juggling quite a lot so it is possible that your body is currently panicking and going into starvation mode because of the 2 shakes with the stress included. Once you are done with your finals you will be able to relax more and your body will return to normal again and you will...

There is no worries about what time you have them. But be careful of having more then once at once as you could end up uncomfortably full :(

So today is day 6 and everything has been fine so far. I had my first weigh in and I have lost 9 pounds :D I am absolutely delighted as I needed to see some weight loss this week otherwise I wasnt sure if I could continue. With results like this how can I not continue :)

Day 3 is starting out on a super positive note. After my headache yesterday I got out into the air and I felt great :) I am super motivated :)

I honestly an liking all of the shakes, Trying all of them gives you variety but at the end of the day it will be down to your own tastes. I like the soup but everyone i know thinks it is horrible :)

Gez! You must have the willpower of a saint! :worthy:

I am just starting out and am on day 2 at the moment and have a wicked headache but am trying to drink loads of water. Any suggestions to keep me busy and focused during this time:confused: I have a fair bit to lose and know a few people who are currently doing this diet, They have told me...
