Yep I have a shower to warm myself up and then the electric blanket goes on. Especially after a large glass of water... my oh says I have never been so clean!

That's fantastic... well done kiddo...

Hi Guys, Week 5 wi and only lost 1lb... :sigh: Thats 22 lbs, and am delighted, but am struggling... not sure if its hunger or boredom, but having bad day. Totally p..d off after wi so made myself a lovely piece of brown bread and now feel terrible!!! Anyway will be back tomorrow just...

I am hoping to have a skinny holiday! Imagine not worrying when you sit up on the beach, no rolls!!! Also looking forward to looking well at my little ones communion. Feeling free, and light. Being fitter.

You will be fine, I had a meal for Mum's day last Sunday and although Mon was tough it wasn't that bad. Its a mindset and when you are in the right one you will have no prob. Just as you say enjoy the day, you will eat lightly as your appetite will have seriously diminished, I ordered a steak...

Yes, I had a lovely dinner out for Mothers day and have been 100% since then. Totally agree that we have to keep focused, but its great to believe that we can be adult enough to make our choices. I had planned Sunday from the week before and like that, enjoyed my meal but didn't go mad, and was...

Yes don't beat yourself up. You have done amazingly well. I really feel for you, try to take the positive with this. Don't let it become too big in your mind. Break it all down, firstly you have lost nearly three stone which is fantastic! Secondly, this is your time and you have your reason...

So funny when you look at it! May swim channel next week for a 99!

Thats another 5lbs - total of 21 so far!!! :) Have to confess, as yesterday was mother's day, we did go out for something to eat. Had gorgeous meal and really enjoyed it. Didn't go overboard. Today back on 100%... so feeling a bit hungry but committed. In my defence I did climb the...

All I can say is 10.5 lbs in two weeks, thats amazing. I know its disappointing that it was only 1lb this week. But look at the big picture, by next week you could have a stone gone. Especially if its totm, you will absolutely loose more next week. I too am Irish and can feel your pain re...

I say go for it. Yes this diet is very very hard, and at times you feel like giving up, but remember how hard it is to be fat. As soon as you start tackling your weight, you feel empowered. Just think in a few months you could have dropped 3 or even 4 stone. You are young and healthy, just...

You have done so well, your pharmacist is probably trying to encourage you, which can sound like he is giving out. You can be so proud of what you have achieved. Well done!!! Don't let anyone stress you out and have grt weekend...

I thinks its from all the cold water and no food to start the engine!!! I seem to live in the shower as its the only place I can warm up...

You could try the soup, which is nice and warm. Best when made on the hob and stir continuously. Otherwise you could try to bars, they are pretty awful, but not bad with a cup of tea. Its the end goal that you need to keep in sight. Treat the shakes as medicine. Good luck...

Well done you. Thats great stuff...

Coolaboola.... well done

My little ones communion is in May so that's my goal.....

Hi all, lost 5lbs today that a total of 16lbs :) Really struggled yesterday and have to admit I cracked and had two teaspoons of some left over dinner!!! AGH. Anyway back on track. Was so tempted to do mon-fri this week and start refeed on Sat. My pharmacist talked me out of it, and he...

Dont get upset, at the end of the day 3lbs is 3lbs and that is a lot better off you than on. This diet is extreme and can wreck your head. Make sure you are adding extra water for the bars. Just keep the faith and hopefully you will be rewarded next week....

You go girl....

HONK day 20 wi tomorrow!!!

Try not to be sad, this is a great decision you have made to start lt. Yes it is hard and you will feel deprived and sorry for yourself, but these feelings will pass as the time goes by. After the first week you will have more confidence that it will work. Use this site to spur yourself on...

HONKEY HONK

The other thing to try is the chicken soup. Make sure you make it in a pan on the hob, it doesn't work well as a cupasoup (lots of lumps!). But it is tasty and does feel like you are having a meal. I am on day 18 and am close enough to remember the first week. It is so hard and the weekend...

Anyone know if this is ok on LT. I had two cups yesterday and was really hungry when I went to bed. Not sure if that is just normal or if the tea counteracted something?

Fantastic... only 14 to go... well done you

Another one to look at is the Dukan diet, its along the same lines as Atkins, but after the first two weeks you can add veg etc. Its very healthy... A positive attitude will get you down the last few pounds and well done on your super loss so far....

17 days 100% HONK HONK

Hi and welcome. Just on the coffee thing, have read some people make the vanilla shake with coffee.... may get you through the craving!

Yep thats a good one, you would get a great tan too!!!

One of my favourite thoughts for loosing weight quick was to get a doctor to put me in a coma for about 6 weeks, feed me iv fluids and wake me up a lovely size 12! Anyone else ever had these great ideas!!!

I haven't noticed any difference, and am on day 17. You will notice a great change in your weight. But this diet is not for the feint hearted. It is seriously tough. This is my first time doing it and every day is a challenge. If you are in the right mindset then go for it. Time goes by so...

Welcome back. I'm a first timer. You have been here before so you know the drill. Its just a stop gap in life until you get to where you want to be, and its so worth it when you get there. The inspiration will come as the pounds come off. Use us here on this site to help. Remember, you...

Just quick post. I usually make my soup in work using boiled water from the kettle and its tasty and ok. Today I am at home, just made soup in a saucepan and heated up stirring with a whisk. What a difference, its delish... no lumps or bumps.. Yum.. Just thought I would share this with you.

Thats amazing, well done.. I agree the weeks get harder, well not harder, it just seems monotonous and you start questioning but have kept my resolve. So happy for you, just think what you'll be like for the summer.... Whahoo!!!

Thats a fab loss, don't wreck your head, its tough, but you are doing fantastic, take it day by day. Well done...

WOW over a stone in one week ... well done, keep it up.....

Very impressive... well done you!

Lucky you!!! Well done thats fab...

WOW thats fab, nearly a stone in a week! Well done

You go girl!!!! I hope she has the soup in, I use it for my lunch everyday in work and it really is nice...

Thanks and hope you doing ok....

I only lost 5lbs my first week and must say I too felt a bit disappointed. I think its because the first week is so monumental. You go from eating what you want to total starvation and in my case I believe the loss should equal the amount of anguish and suffering put in.... loads! My 2nd wi...

If you are working out that much you are probably building muscle, and muscle weighs heavier than fat. the other thing is you are probably loosing lots and lots of inches. This is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. Thing is to keep motivated and positive, its a journey but only a short...

Yeah I think you should throw yours out if it weighs heavy! Yes I am thrilled, roll on, I should say next month, but am only able to take this day by day! Have you had your first wi yet? If not best of luck... M

Today was my 2nd wi, I am down 6lbs! This may sound stupid, but my chemist's scales is way off what my home scales say. I know you shouldn't weigh yourself but hey I'm only human. I said it to my chemist, he says his is right, even though my oh is the correct weight on our scales as in...

That is so scary, hope you doing ok, take care of yourself.

Im a first timer too and on day 13. I cant believe how hard wk 1 was, i also cant believe i got through it! 2nd wi tomorrow. Its mind over matter and this site is super for inspiration... That and lots of water... Best of luck...

Anyone else find sunday them worst. Today I cooked my family a great brunch then later a big roast and I am feeling very sorry for myself. Wi tomorrow so hopefully that will cheer me on...

Inspirational! Well done. So great to hear such good news. Be well and have a fab bikini body summer!!!

oh thats soo good to hear. I am on day 13 and have my 2nd weigh in tomorrow. I only lost 5lbs last week and must admit was a bit upset by that. Feeling sorry for myself and I struggled through and at the end to only loose 5 did my head in a bit. But this week have been much more energetic...

You go girl!!!

Yeah I like to choc, but find the chicken soup great for work, it takes ages to eat too! Someone posted once a great idea, they made peppermint tea, and left it in the fridge overnight and in the morning used it to make a minty choc shake, sounds delish!

Welcome and good luck. I am on day 11. The first week is terrible so if you can stick it out you will be fine. Its mind over matter, and just try to keep focused. I must say, my first week I drove to the chemist to buy ketone sticks (not sure what they called, dip sticks to see if you are in...

OMG can totally relate. I only lost 5 last week at my first wi. Was totally devo and only on day 10. So am hoping next week will be better. You are doing fab and reading your post reminded me that I am not alone! Well don and keep going.... xx

Can totally relate. My first week was 5lbs and posted a dishearted post. Its only day 10 and wi is next Monday so hoping its a big one. Well done again on your loss.

Great stuff, keep it up... well done...

That's wonderful news. Very happy for you

They always say you need to have vision and a goal. I have a goal but my vision is slightly blurred. I look back at my skinny days and remember that feeling of the waistband of a skirt sliding around, the way jeans used to sit with no flab at the top. In fact the empowering feeling of knowing...

Thank god for these posts. It makes you feel human! I am on day 10 and going day by day. I am 100% so far. But Angellove please dont beat yourself up. In the grand scheme of things what you will achieve will be fabulous. Dont let a few nibbles break you. Keep up the strength and use this...

I cant believe you could genuinely miss a shake! I am totally starving by shake time. Can't wait until this becomes the norm. On day 10 and still hungry.

Your doing fabulously, congratulation. I'm day 10 and had awful day yesterday. Taking it one day at a time. You are an inspiration, I keep thinking about May for my little ones communion, but think day by day is a better way to go!

Good idea, will delay the morning shake as miraculously I am never that hungry in the morning! Thanks a mil xx

Bethyi I totally agree with Dusty67, this is a very difficult decision to make to go on LT. Its not something that we do light heartedly. You are very brave and honest. I truely believe that if you can get through the first few days then you will commit. I am only on day 10 and it is very...

Thanks a mil. Your support is great, am totally committed, and its great to hear from people who are going through the same.... We should all be cannonised!

I started LT nearly two weeks ago. I have a question, I am still hungry a lot. Is this normal. I was told as soon as I was in ketosis that the hunger would go. I am fine most of the time but from about 4-6pm I am like a mad woman. I have stuck 100% so far, but am having a bad day as don't...

I agree with Angellove. This is a transition period for everyone, and he probably just needs you to tell him how important this is for you and how the results will hopefully give you a much more fulfilled life together. Good luck with your chat!

Thats fabulous, well done and keep up the good work:D

Well done. Keep up the good work. Just think of the days out in years to come with your little girl.

Thats fabulous well done.

That is awe inspiring. Well done delighted for you. X

Today I went for my first wi. I have lost 5 lbs. Cant help feeling a bit disappointed. Stuck rigidly to the diet all week and really thought the loss would be better. Having a tough day but have kept my resolve. its great to loose 5 lbs...will keep reminding myself....

Hi All I am new to this website, and new to Lipotrim. I started on 20th Feb last Monday. The first week was very hard. I have stuck to it religiously. I think Saturday was the worst, having to sit upstairs as all my family enjoyed their brunch. I felt so sorry for myself. But I found...
