Good article. I suppose it shows that people who are trying to loose weight are vulnerable to claims from unethical sources. However since L/T contains all the nutrients necessary, this would also contain adequate sodium levels. (Probably why people find their shakes salty!) It is important...

Good luck, once you have done it the first time, you can do it again. I have done it twice before, just make plans for maintenance once you are at target.

Hi everyone, Have not been on for a while. I ran into some medical issues. I suffer with anaemia, and have to take ongoing medication. As we knw L/T is inclined to make people constipation. I was having huge problems going!! So I stopped taking the medication as it was adding to the problem...

Welcome, and best wishes on your weight loss journey.

Well done, enjoy your journey of refeeding.

Well done, it will get easier. Take care.

I think you should write to him, and remind him that he asked you to come back to him when your BMI had reduced down by 1 point and that you returned to him after your weight had reduced by 3 points, and remind him of his promise to refer you for surgery. I feel it would be important to...

Absolutely inspirational, well done.

Welcome Maria and Christiangirl7. You both are small like myself, 5ft 2 and1/2. Maria before you know it, your first week will be over, and you will feel so motivated after your first week. Christiangirl, well done on your first tremendous weight loss. You have been through a lot, at the...

You are a "real trooper" after 10 weeks, with such fantastic weight loss. Congratulations

Nicky, You have done tremendously, and lost a lot of weight over a short period of time. If you are drinking lots of water and B/P is fine, there is nothing serious. When you are standing up from a sitting or lying position just take it slowly. Also dont overdo it, taking care of little uns...

Welcome back, you did tremendous on your hols and only gained 4 pounds, and considering the terrible week you had you still managed to loose it. Best of luck with your onward journey

You poor pet, sending hugs. No matter how overweight you are, we have all felt like that, and yes it feels very depressing. But today is a new day, the beginning of a new change. You know after a month on this diet you will have lost a lot of weight and will look different, this will motivate...

You are doing fantastic, tremendous weight loss, and not far from the big 8!

Having re-read your previous posts, you have been through a lot lately. You seem to be a really nice person and deserve to be treated great. Look after yourself, and if that man does not treat you like a queeen, we will have to find you a better one!

Hi everyone, Have been away for a few days, and had no access to my computer, but have been sticking to L/T. Have lost 5 pounds over the last 2 weeks, may not seem very much, but I am happy enough, as I have lost 30 pounds in total now. People beginning to notice, and I feel better about...

Don't be too hard on yourself, you have been through some very difficult personal issues, and are probably coming to terms with them. Yes you had a blip, but I think you will pick yourself up. I feel you have learned from it, and will be successful. Roll on next week's weigh in!

Wedding dresses can be altered very easily by a good seamstress, dont worry just concentrate on loosing the weight. Good luck

Well Gary at least you are putting it on in the right areas!!

Good luck in your new venture, of a new body for your wedding. The first week is the hardest as you are breaking old habits, do as the others say above and it will be plain sailing!!

Thanks everyone for your supportive replies. The girl in the pharmacy only questioned me whether I had come off L/T for the week and had eaten food, and when I told her this was not so that I had borrowed sachets from a friend that she then threatened to take me off L/T for 3 months! She seemed...

You have done fantastic, and are a total inspiration. It is time for you to enjoy life, eat healthy foods, and feel a great self esteem.

Gorgeous children, and they have a yummy mummy. You will loose that weight in no time

Gosh well done, you have done fantastic!!

Any man can be sex on legs, but a REAL man that is sex on legs is a person who starts L/T on St Stephens Day (Boxing Day) and sticks with it for 23 weeks without breaking it, loosing tremendous amounts of weight, and then looks like this now!

Fantastic loss!

Hi everyone, I was not able to attend for my weigh in last week,I had to look after a mother who is elderly down the County,and a friend of mine who started L/T but the diet did not suit her, gave me her left over sachets. So today went for my weigh in as normal to the pharmacy, and...

I have done L/T twice before and gained the weight back, and even more. This time will be my last time. It is very difficult not to go back to old habits, but for my family I need to stay healthy, and must do it this time and keep the weight off.

Any OH that waits until you get home to cook steak and chips when you are on your first week of L/T, needs to be deprived of sex!!

Incredible, well done

Fantastic achievement. I unfortunately get hungry in the evening time, so I need to have 2 shakes in the evening, so I cannot have the first one too early in the morning.

I cannot stomach the soup, the vanilla shakes or the flapjacks, and can just about get down the strawberry and choc shakes. So it is 14 strawberry, 7 choc.

Sorry to hear your news. Not only physically you need to wait, but mentally also. What you have been through is a huge trauma to your body and mind. Your Doctor is right, you need to give yourself time. Take care of yourself, and in a few weeks you can consider Lipotrim. Best of luck to you.

Thanks, appreciate your kind words

Well done great achievement!

Absolutely fantastic achievement.

All your hopes and wishes are truly inspirational. 1. I already have a fantastic hubby of 18 years. To meet and love someone that completes you, is a dream come through. 2. I have 5 kids, all boys, and my dream would have been to have lots of kids, however my dreams were shattered when I...

Wow Ian great job!

Well done!

What an achievement, well done!

My chemist allows me to swap, I think most of them are reasonable. Understand what you are going through, your tastebuds change on this diet and often when you do not like the shakes etc at the start, you grow to enjoy them eventually. Try and continue with them, and take each day as it comes...

What you are experiencing is the worse. It will get better. I have five sons and have multiple meals to do throughout the day, I just consider it a function and get on with it. I dont stay in the room when they are eating it, as I do not like to watch others enjoying the food. You will get into...

You have done fab, well done

Fantastic loss. Well done

Well done Julz, Great loss, no doubt you will be in the 9 stone next week. I also get weighed on the same day as you, but only lost 2lbs this week, but it is all swings and roundabouts, next week may be better. Cant change my ticker, when I attempted to change it last week I ended up with...

Hi I am a qualified Nurse, Ketosis can be very dangerous, as excess amounts accumulate in your blood and can be toxic. The most important part of this diet is drinking water. It is very important to flush the ketones in your blood out, and so they are removed by your kidneys and excreted...

Well done, when the weight starts to fall off it, you will feel very proud

Lillie, You are a total inspiration. Enjoy everybit of your new self. Roll on your holidays

Fantastic loss, on the road to a new body!

Congratulations, fantastic weight loss. Yes paracetamol is fine.

Katie, This is my third time on this diet, on the first occasion I gave up because I could not manage to drink the tea or coffee without milk. I don't take sweetners in my coffee and tea. On the second occassion I attempted the diet sticking to it rigidly, but put a tiny amount of skimmed...

Reason it's crap to be fat!!! Agree with all of the above. 1. Making excuses not to go to family functions, as my husbands sisters, sisters in law and brothers are all slim, and I am like an elephant in the room. 2. I have not had a photo of my children and I taken together in years, as my...

You poor pet, You have had a dreadful day. What happened in work was dreadful. Going back to work after maternity leave is very stressful without this!! Give it a few more days, and see how things go in work, and review the situation if it has not improved. Remember you have a beautiful...

I understand your situation. I had my weigh in today and lost 4 lbs, I have lost 1 stone 1lb and no one has notice. Will probably not notice until I loose more weight. Anyway I know myself, my clothes fit me better, My watch is loose on my wrist, I can move my wedding ring and engagement ring on...

I have the ketone sticks, and only when I feel low do I test, and it cheers me up to think all my fat is gone down the loo.

WOW, that is incredible, such a fantastic achievement. You are a total inspiration. Dont worry about re-feed, very easy and simple to follow, and tasting food after L/T is like the most delicious taste you have ever had. You really appreciate food and the taste of food and will find that you...

Dianagrace, Glad we were some help. You are your future hubby are priority during this time. If you are not getting support from family avoid them. Well done on maintaining your diet. You are great.

Have not much cash for holiday this year, so we are hoping for a week somewhere beside beach in the west or south west of Ireland.

Sorry to hear whay you are going through. The preparations for your wedding are already stressful enough without having to deal with family. This is YOUR wedding, and your family are not being fair in behaving in this manner. I would approach your Mother and your sister separately, and ask them...

My hubby is my best support. He is also loosing weight too but doing it with healthy eating. He told me he could not undertale L/T and all the water. My next greatest support is my 12 year old son, bless him he tells me everyday I am loosing weight.

Emma Lou, The first weekend is definately the hardest. At weekends I loved to sit down with my hubby and share a bottle of wine with some nice goodies, the first weekend of none was awful. However the last two weekends I have not missed it and just got on with my routine of shakes and...

Gaz, Congratulations you are a total inspiration, to stay on this diet for 23 weeks shows unbelievable strength. I have read from other threads of your high cholesterol, and other health problems when you were overweight, you have definitely given your body a second chance. Best of luck...

Probably since you cannot eat food you appreciate it more. Well done for not picking etc, I do not mind cooking for the family, but do not like going to the supermarket as I feel I am not buying anything for myself.

How much water were you drinking?

First week is difficult, but not dreadful. Day 2 or 3 probably the worse, you may feel tired, get more rest. If you develop headaches take some paracetamol. Once your in ketosis the hunger generally subsides that takes about 2 to 3 days. In the meantime drink lots of water, tea and coffee. Take...

Congratulations you are amazing and an inspiration, almost 7 stone gone!! What an achievement!!

I find the most difficult part of this diet is the shakes/soups/flapjacks. I cannot drink the soup, yuk, I cannot eat those flapjacks, cardboard, and cannot drink the vanilla shakes, baby milk. I can just about stomach the choc shakes and can only drink one every 3 days, so I am left with...

Julzie, Congratulations you are doing great. I started at the same time as you and lost 7lbs on the 1st week and weigh in today I lost 4 lbs. So I am at the same weight loss as you. I totally agree that this forum rocks! I have been on L/T twice and lost weight on both attempts but it was...

Welcome back, and delighted to hear you gained no extra weight. The reason as you said in your first message was "that you made good choices food wise".

I'm a home Carer to my kids who are disabled

I really want to go swimming, as i have avoided taking my kids to a swimming pool for years because I was too embarrased of my shape. I am also going to enjoy clothes shopping, and stop buying clothes to cover me up, but now to show my new figure off. As far as sex, well I have a great hubby who...

Thanks for your replies. I do not like the vanilla shakes, and the pharmacist told me to put them in coffee, so I made up a vanilla shake with coffee. I was ghastly the closest thing to baby milk. Perhaps if I just put a little in a vanilla shake in the coffee, it would be better. Thanks for...

Thanks everyone for your replies.

newbe needs advice please Everyone is right you do need to drink a lot of water, as with weight loss you are producing a lot of ketones which can become toxic to your body, so need to be flushed out. Drinking too much water causes you to flush out too much salts in your blood which is...

Hi everyone, I am in my second week on LT, lost 7lbs last week. I generally love tea and coffee when not on the diet, and drink loads of each everyday. However since been on the diet the taste of tea and coffee has changed, and it is not so enjoyable. I dont enjoy a cup of tea or coffee...

Hi Bellyflop, It is ok to feel low, can be part of the weight loss process and also feeling unwell. You are doing tremendous you have had a fantastic weightloss so far, and you sound so motivated I think you will not gain anything while off LT, as you are doing the right thing and sticking...

Hi Cannon, It is difficult if you have children's meals to prepare. I have 5 kids who all eat at different times so I seem to be preparing meals all day. Try not to pick, if anything don't pick, as this will effect your ketosis and you will loose less weight and feel hungry. It is a good...

Living in Meath but originally from Dublin.

Hi I am new to the forum. I am 43, and only 5 and a 1/2 foot but now weighing 12 stone 11 lbs, which puts me into the obese category. I have been on lipotrim twice before, and lost substantial weight each time but gained it back. (On antidepressant medication so this did not help.) I started...

Hi everyone, I am on week one, actually first day is today. I have been on lipotrim twice before and had great loss but gained the weight again. This time I am determined to keep weight off. I am 12 stone 11 lbs, and only 5ft 2inch, so I am obese. My aim is 10 stone or slightly less. I...
