After first Day
well newbies, what do ye think?
I am so not fussy with the taste of anything buty i heaved and heaved that soup down, despite the salt peper and curry powder. Do we get used to the taste or did people like it from the start?
I had to close my eyes and picture myself in the red dress!!!yuck. Ill do it though if it kills me

I kind of liked the chicken soup at first but have changed my mind, i like the shakes with one sweetner in them and either very cold water or some crushed ice, but hope the chicken soup will taste better in a few more days, as people say your tastbuds change over a few weeks.

I hated Vanilla, Chocolate and Chicken soup from day one, and have lived on Strawberry for 13 weeks. I enjoy it, and amn't really bored as such. I'm considering trying the other 3 again next week...just in case. Especially as we're heading into winter again soon, and I might need the hot soup in the evenings!

I am totally new to the forum! I started on LT 11 days ago.Have been so pleased I have totally stuck with it as I normally last 4 days on a diet and give up! Lost 5lb on first weigh in - is this fairly normal? I have about 2 stone to loose in total. Really worried as I am going to a wedding next week and so want to stick with this but can't imagine not having a few drinks!!! Any advice really welcome please!
The tip about coffee in with chocolate shake to make a mochca shake is amazing! I imagine i am in Starbucks indulging and it really works!

Not having enough to drink and missing 2 shakes would i should think make you not feel too good, it would not be to late to have a shake now and try to drink as much water as you can, as for the sleeping I am not sure I am only just finishing week one, and do find that I am waking in the early hours and not really getting back to sleep and as for the emotional and ratty well my OH would say there was no change....but yes for the first 4-5 days i was a bit worse the usual
But i think as it is working the the pounds and dropping off, it must be worth it.
So think positive and make sure you have all the shakes and water tomorrow.

Hey guys,
I find I have to have my shakes at the same time everyday or I get weak, tired and emotional. This morning I slept in, and my first shake was at my usual lunch time, and I feel utterly crap!!
If I skip a shake I feel weak all the next day, and if I don't drink enough water I get constipated.
A lot pf people have sleep disturbances for the first 2-3 weeks but it settles down.

I have read some peoples posts, and its great to know that, although it feels it, I am not the only one going through this!
i would recommend the Lipotrim shaker, its soo handy!
Anyone any hints about the bad breath? I am taking the listerine strips, but they can be a bit much sometimes.
I had found that if I have a 2litre bottle of water sitting and know that I have to drink it all during that day, its a struggle, but if you get some of the bottled water with the sports cap and have some cooling and always have one with you, I find it less daunting and find myself just reaching for it, when its finished I refill it, put in the fridge and lift a different one out. I find I can drink more than 2 litres that way and its far easier. I have also been told that because I am over 6ft that I should actually be drinking about 3 litres a day.
I know its hard, but my frame of mind right now, is that the start wasnt as bad as I imagined and I feel ok now.

Hi Zanny, I weighed 13st at my first weigh in and 10 days later 12st 2lb so yes if you have the mind set to eat no food at all then yes I would recommend this diet, but you will have a rough few days to start with but after that its ok, I even have to cook for the family and apart from the problem of calling someone to taste it, its ok.
the community on this forum is wonderful support and giggles when you need it.
So if you feel ready give it a go.

Hi, new to forum. On day 9. Going good although tend to feel a bit week in the evenings. I guess the fact that its my TOTM isn't helping...
Question: Does lots of weak tea count anything towards the required water intake? And is Rooibos allowed?
Also, my pharmacist suggested to add a bit of pepper to the soup (although strictly not allowed I believe). Tried it yesterday and poured the 'soup' into a proper soup bowl so it felt more like a meal. Pepper definitely made the thing more palatable.
Also, seeing as coffee is allowed, can I add a spoon of Nescafe to the vanilla shake? Think that might taste better...
Any other tips?

yes weak tea and rooibos is fine, and yes coffee to the vanilla is also fine, I have a sweetner in my shakes also prefer to have some crushed ice in with them as well.
as far as other people have said you can have any seasoning or spice in your soup.
welcome on board and do not be shy to ask for help or support.

Thanks Judy.
Was feeling really weak last night and this morning again too. Kind of despondant also without any particular reason. Felt crampy and light-headed.
Feel a bit better now after some water but feel generally a bit low today. First time its happened (10th day now) but I guess it's just my body adjusting?

I guess so, I am only in the second week so not the most experienced on LT'ers but I do have odd moments and seem to get tired earlier in the evening but wake up early....but do find making sure i drink enough water helps.
And then come on the forum and read all the positive things and refill your will power
