Count Me In

Hi I am another bloke following LT. Started 25th January 2010 and sticking to it so far. First week was a killer but I think my body is settling into the LT regime now. I am hoping to achieve an average loss of 3lb per week however, I accept there will be ups and downs.

Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone! I started LT today. To be honest, its not been half as bad as i thought it would be. I have been eating/drinking sooooo much since before xmas because i knew this was coming... Really want to lose 2 stone for the summer. I am planning to stay on the diet for 6 weeks. Have been reading this forum over the past few months, so thought I may aswell join in!

Today I have had a choc milkshake for breakfast, blended with ice, a strawberry for lunch and just had a chicken soup for dinner... ummmm... NOT! Ha! On a normal diet I would be starving by this time, with the little calorie in take I have had, but I dont actually feel hungry?! I know its only day 1, i will most likely wake up tomorrow starving... just going to go with the flow and take everyday as it comes. Any tips would be much appriciated!

Hey, I'm on my second day and to be honest I'm finding it really hard. Only my boyfriend knows I'm on LT so I thought I'd join in if that's ok, to get a bit of motivation and support from others in the same boat!!????!

Good luck Miss Flower. What keeps me going is the water - amazingly! If I haven't managed to have some for a little while, I really feel it. I have just had my second weigh in and have lost another 4lbs. My metabolism is slow so if I can keep that up I'll be pleased. That's now 11lbs in 11 days.

Dear Nonie

My second day was also awful. Try to keep busy doing something - even reading a book. The third day was easier and the fourth much better. I also didn't want to tell anyone but have eventually told a few as I found that even their asking how I was doing helped my motivation. I have little notes on the fridge etc telling myself why I am doing this. What is four months of my life in the greater scheme of things. Come June it is all going to be worth it. Admittedly I wish I could sleep through it all with the nutrients administered by IV, But hey, they say no pain no gain.

Afternoon "Hippo" fans!! Well it's the start of week 6 and I lost 5 pounds last week. Things are on track for getting to my goal of 12st by May!! Just got to keep up with the average of 5 pounds a week. My Wife had a better week loosing 4 pounds.

Welcome to all the new starters, it does get easier and once you get into ketosis it does get better. After a week or so food becomes a distant memory. If it does get hard have a sniff of the old Horseradish sauce!! LOL

Well done Mr and Mrs JohnnySecret! I hope I'll do as well as you both.

Hi hope you dont mind me joining this forum?? i started lipotrim this week just finishing day three now and im finding it really hard ideally i planned to be on the plan for three weeks and then do two weeks refeed (because im on teaching practise and cant take shakes into school with me so im thinking have one shake for breakfast, a really low fat lunch then another shake for dinner????) however i felt really down all day today and gave in and had some toast, has this completely messed me up-should i give up or keep going?? any help or encouragment would be greatly appreciated xx

hi everyone,

im halfway through the day but im depressed lol. ive got lipotrim shakes packets and i thought, i dont want to feel like this for the next few weeks, im gonna do something about it. so i went through my drawer took the LT packets out, got my water, started sipping on it and this time im going to nail. no time like the present i say! im aiming to lose 3 stones, before my birthday in may!

back me up, im going to need it, just one question, anyone else feel cold when they start the diet? and excercise? i would love to do exercise if its going to help me.

thankyou everyone, im gonna hold my head up n do this. X
