Hi Laurie
It can be disheartening to lose only 1lb in a week as I have done, you need to remember it all adds up. It can take a while for some people to get into the stride of LL, do stick with it as it will suddenly start to fall off you. I drink 4-5Litres a day as well as my shakes water, on the weeks when I had not drunk so much my losses slowed down.
I have had low blood pressure a couple of times with the dizziness, usually on the days when my water intake had not been good.
I would be careful about the exercise you do, certainly for the first couple of months, the very low calorie intake we are on, it is recommended not to do too much additional exercise. I increased my exercise a couple of months after starting when the BP and light headedness eased off. It also slows your weight loss down, so my LLC suggests not doing any exercise while on Total!! I made the decision to exercise as I do not want too much saggy skin.
I'm 53, so no TOTM for me either, but there is definitely a change each month in how I feel, which I had not been aware of before starting LLT, again the losses seem to slow each month.
Glad you have been in ketosis the whole time, I have not cheated at all, (before my hols last 2 weeks
) and my stick did not show I have been in ketosis the whole time.
Stick with it, it will kick in, then you will suddenly find your clothes are too big!! It's worth it.
