It will be week three for me too as I am so weak

Not much to be fair just peeing allot, the hot shakes definitely help though, don't know if I am fit to exercise this week still very weak

I lost 14lbs, thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement and getting me through the worst week of my life! Hot shakes are so much better!

Thanks I hope so

Day 3 and its so much better with hot shakes apart from a slight headache I did weigh myself and I am down 5.5lbs so far. Unofficial weighin though

That's amazing results do you have a link to it?

Thanks it has been better for the last couple of days, have had everything hot

I couldn't stick to it. It was too cold and I got the wrong sorts of shakes that I couldn't mix with hot water to heat me up. This time around I have bought everything that I can heat up from soups to meals and some shakes. Starting today round 2. Lets hope this time around is better. I am going...

So true I lost weight with slimming world but gained it back over Xmas. I found the plan so unbelievably boring so I thought of doing this but I am feeling much better today just a blinding headache but that might be the withdrawal of food. Thanks for everyone's support

Your right I do want it bad enough but I still have the doubts from other people telling me I will gain it all back. I need to shut the haters out

I am really struggling, day 3 an I feel like giving up! It's really cold as well which is not helping. Help!

Thanks Hun its what I am on as well

Thanks everyone. I have been on the plan two days and I am really struggling constantly hungry all the time! Since when did you all add exercise?

Wow thanks everyone for answering. I will be starting today as I had to get permission from my doctor if it was ok due to my health conditions but he said I should be fine so I am really looking forward to giving it a proper go. Just the encouragement that I needed, thanks

Oh my god, how many packs are you on

Wow that's fabulous!

Hi I will be starting this plan later on today but I am wondering what so I expect in my first week? I was doing slimming world but the losses were slow, I need a kickstart. Would love to hear how you are all doing.

Thanks everyone I have decided to switch to slim and save for the next weeks until I get this cast off. The doctor advised as well that I need to let the bone properly heal. Had my first shake out of the starter pack and it was great. Good luck to everyone and I will drop in again to see how you...

Just started and had my first shake and it was great to taste real food or as real as it gets considering I was on lipotrim. Started my morn off with a Rice Krispie one, it was lush. Hope the rest tastes as good as this and I start to lose some pounds! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I don't know how you all do it but I can't. I am thinking of changing over to slim and save because it allows me to have a meal. Sitting with my broken leg up on the sofa all day increases thinking and craving time so don't know whether it's because I am feeling down or what! Sent from my...

thanks eeveryone, i ordered a starter pack so will see how it goes

Thanks for replying Jo. Are there any flavours which are really bad and to stay away from? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am currently on Lipotrim and I am thinking of doing slim and save only because of the variety more than anything else. There is only so much you can do with a chocolate shake and when I have a slip up and the bare mention of cheating and having some chicken sends some people into a spiral and...

Thanks everyone, I just hope that I can stick to it and get a nice surprise after 6 weeks Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

This has to be the worst week ever on this diet, the thought of not getting weighed for 6 weeks due to having a cast on my leg is really disappointing. I need the weighin for support to keep going. I know I am not drinking as much as I should as I am not managing the crutches well to keep...

I know how you feel, looking about doing another plan just for some variety Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

thanks yes he said 250mls, i contacted lipotrim and they said if the doctor said it was ok then it should be fine but it's not normally something they recommend. the only reasons he told me to take it was because of the two broken bones in my foot and i need the extra calcium. thanks for your...

Off to google it. Good luck. Like yourself I only like the choc and the soup but their ok for me though as I don't want much variety as yet. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Good luck if you done it the first time there is no reason you can't do it again! We will be soon hearing your inspiring results week after week, keep going Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Not sure where to put this without people getting offended. Came back from my doctor earlier and he said that I should have 250mls of skimmed milk a day as well because of my foot and ankle injury. I am worried about my losses as it may slow it down although I may have some muscles after the 6...

I have chilli flakes in my soup, hasn't done anything to my losses but I couldnt have the soup without it. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

yea i am having an extra pack too, i do find i need it x

thanks i am doing mostly strength exercises which i find is good at the moment

Thanks everyone feeling much better but sitting on my butt for the next 6 weeks in a cast will be fun and I hope I don't fail worse than I have. I can't even get weighed for the next 6 weeks either which is a bummer as I need the weighin for motivation. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I hope it doesn't get too bad Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

thanks back on today. it was a little slip up but hopefully no harm done

Does anyone else notice their hair getting thinner or having more hair on your brush when your finished brushing? Just wondered if this was normal? Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

well done kellie

well done Emma

Not in that order obviously but I broke my toe late Thursday evening. I missed a step while I was coming down the stairs with a basket of clothes. Thought it was just a sprain but the pain worsened yesterday and it was confirmed with an X-ray that I broke my big toe and a bone at the side of my...

Thanks everyone Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

you will do great ! fingers crossed for you

good luck hope you have a great first week

I have had flu all last week but still managed to lose 3lbs so I am happy. Thats 15lbs in two weeks Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I am recovering from the flu and I managed to get sugar free lozenges for my throat and I got the chemist to make up a bottle of cough medicine that was alcohol and sugar free. It didn't taste the best but it done the trick and I lost 3lbs this week. I didn't come out of ketois either Sent from...

i can relate

I asked my pharmacist and he said i can do swimming, rowing or walking but only two days a week and one day of strength training and using weights

i would say go by the phramacy scales and dont weigh yourself every day

good for you! you have amazing willpower

Thanks, I will have another look today Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

What exercises do you do on vlcd? I have been told that you shouldn't be doing any at all but sitting around doing nothing is making me want to cheat. Any advice? I am doing Lipotrim by the way. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done to both of you must keep an eye out on mine. I did a before picture. I looked like the Michelin woman with more rolls on me than there is in a bakery so would like to see a roll a month at least going. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Fantastic loss, good luck for week two! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh I know how you feel and believe me I fought some demons this week. It was the worst week of my life and I started it in the worst week possible as I had my period and where I craved everything in sight and even when I got weighed, I thought was it really worth all the pain and suffering that...

Since last night I have had the shivers, coughing vomiting and I am currently in my bed. I think I am coming down with the flu, is there anything that I can take that is not going to kick me out of ketosis? I really need a cough bottle as I cough so much that I am vomiting but the ones that I...

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Fantastic ?

Wow Ms R! i thought i was bad on doing too much exercise but you beat me.

I did swimming four days a week although i felt faint , this week i am going to do it twice a week with turning exercises instead. Just don't want to get wobbly arms

Wow! That is a fabulous loss in your19 weeks you must be so happy.

Oh I add 500 mls into mine only because they seem to last longer with lots of ice. I find it helps to get extra water in as well.

Stick with it Amar, if your one of the lucky ones your week will fly in but be prepared for the worse just in case. When you get past day 4 people say its a breeze. I found logging in here helped even when I had a slip up and everyone is very supportive. Good luck

Thanx for your compliments. I have migraines normally so I am used to them. Today was much better no nibbling and the posters in the kitchen are helping me not to pick at food. Nothing worse than looking at your before picture to put you off food for life

You have done fantastic Ms R I hope I will be able to do as well

Just wondering how much has everyone lost and how long did it take people to notice that you were losing weight? Were their actions encouraging or were they concerned by what diet plan you were on?

Thanx hoping for a 5lb loss next week

I wasn't getting at anyone, for someone new like myself i really couldn't stop moving back to bbad habits on my first week which is why i said a bit of chicken doesn't hurt anyone, i am proof of that as i still lost 12lbs. I'm not saying i will be doing it every week, i just needed it this week...

Thanks everyone

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks Slimgem

I will have to disagree with some of the comments. As some of you may know I have had a dreadful week and ate on two occasions with some chicken and salad. I still lost 12lbs this morning, ok it could have been more but I am delighted all the same. It's still nearly a stone after all. It takes...

Well got weighed and lost 12lbs. Wouldn't have lost this with SW in a week so I am going to stick with it. I have beaten allot of demons with headaches and even though had some chicken on two days I still think I have done rather well. Still hungry constantly but the GP said I will be for a few...

I am beginning to think this plan is not for me. I really can't stop nibbling when I am cooking. Not sure if it's force of habit or what. Even today some of my friends came to visit me and I made some dinner for them and they were like "why are you not eating?" as I just sat down with my shake...

I know what you mean i did badly two days as well but back on 100% now ,

Well done on the 4lbs loss!

Hi BusyMum, I get weighed in tomorrow. I am kinda nervous as hoping for a good result.

Thanks BM for the advice, how did you get on this week?

Don't worry hun i had a day like that this week too but we are all humans and have our days, put it to the back of your mind and keep going

I was doing swimming three days a week when i was on swimming world but will now stop then, can we still do strength exercises though?

I have felt really weak today nearly fainted when I came out of the pool. The gp told me to do some exercise but if I am only eating 400calories and burning 350 it doesn't make sense. Could I make a point by buying four shakes a day instead of 3? Does anyone else have four? I don't see my gp...

While cooking I ate a bit of chicken not even thinking twice about it. I hope I haven't done anything to the plan but I feel so mad with myself!! I really need to control my taste buds and not taste when cooking!

I pay £28.95 but I get a discount because I am doing it through the gp. Thats an awful price to pay in Ireland

Thanks everyone. I have had lots of cups of tea today just wondering if I may be coming down with the flu or something. One thing I don't feel hungry on this plan which is good, for three days before I started the plan I didn't have any carbs so maybe that helped? Looking forward to weighin...

I contacted lipotrim and they said you can add pepper or chilli flakes to it and it makes such a difference. Love the soup now. How do you know when your in ketosis?

I am really struggling with the cold on this plan. This is only day 4 but I am sitting here shivering with two hot water bottles and a blanket. When does your body temp readjust?

I was on my period when i started first day but I get severe back pain with mine and I had to take tramadol. Did nothing to my loses as on day 3 I had lost 5lbs.

Oh thanks for the info Busy Mum. I am drinking loads but it's a struggle to drink cold water. I hope I can get used to this

Are we allowed to have our shakes hot? I know the soup is fine but I don't want to be drinking that for breakfast? Now with it getting so cold my body is always cold these days. I noticed on one of the threads that someone was adding food colourant to their shakes and thought that was a great...

Hi busy mum, I am ashamed to admit but I am 26 stone. When I went to the gp it was either this or weightloss surgery so they tried me on this first. I also want to get to 12 stone so it would be wonderful having some company along the way. You have done very well. In 5 weeks? That is proper...

To be honest i am still finding it tough, loads of cravings but i started it at the worst time when my period came so i deal with no food and battling differrent types of emotions. I had an unoffical weighin this morning and down 5lbs so its obviously working. Keep reading the threads i find...

I am so glad you asked about that as well as i am also really worried, i would hate to lose all my weight and gain it back. I have been reading the refeed section and it makes for interesting reading. You should have a look. I would hope that our bodies should get used to eating smaller amounts...

Oh brilliant, i had an unofficial weighin this morning after 3 days and lost 5lbs although that might change on wi day but i am happy its working :-)

Hi F-n-m, I would say you would be starving if you only had two and you wouldnt get your full nutritents either. I got a percentage off mine by doing it through the gp instead of paying £36 i pay £28. He writes me out a perscription for it and i go to the chemist to pick it up but get weighed...

Thanks everyone, I have decided to keep it and hopefully I will fit in it x. Thanks for the replies

This is probably a stupid question. My cousin bought me a dress for a formal dinner in December. I've just noticed its a 20, I am a size 26. Would I lose 3 dress sizes by then or will I ask her to exchange it for a bigger size?

Thanks very much for the offer. I managed to order a huge amount on ebay but i appreciate the offer though

Omg you were exactly the same weight that I am starting out now! That was the inspiration I needed to keep focused. You lost all of that in 27 weeks? Wow is all I can say I hope to have some willpower to keep going on this program

You lost 35lbs in 7 weeks??? Wow that's amazing! Good luck for refeed

Off all times to start this plan I must be mad. This is day 2 and I am struggling as totm has arrived as well. I am like a gremlin in heat just want to eat anything and everything in sight. I'm still sipping at my water and hoping these feelings go away. Don't think I am in ketosis yet but an...

All the best hun x

Never thought of eBay. I get my LT through the doctor surgery but they didn't have them either, thanks for the replies

Wow that's amazing! Thanks for letting me know, I will just have to make sure I do my best

Does anyone know where I can get the breath fresher strips from. I have tried tescos, sainsburys today and can't find them. Where else can I try?

You lost 14lbs in a week? Wow I hope I do as good

It's also my first day too, good luck

Thanks. I started today. The soup was very nice but added chilli flakes as I like spicy foods. Not Fussed on the vanilla. The water is hard though to drink in this cold weather but still managed 2 litres. Not hungry today as of yet maybe that will change by one week. Thanks for the replys you...

I will be doing LT tomorrow and have lots of weight to lose. I was on slimming world but I felt it wasn't for me as it doesn't control portion sizes. Although what may not work for me may work for others. My doctor put me on this plan as I have an operation in January. Also wondered if there...

Hello all. I am starting Lipotrim tomorrow. I have been put on this through my doctor as I am having an operation in the end of January. I need to have lost 5 stone by the end of December, is this even possible as the doctors may not do the operation if I haven't lost this much. Roughly in 12...
