Hey Dooots!
Welcome to LT and the forum. The 1st week can be tough, but it's really worth sticking with it as it's usually the best weeks weight loss on LT. You'll probably notice a difference on day 3/4 when you go into ketosis and you don't feel hungry anymore. Drink lots of water and come and chat on here and let us know how you're getting on.
Best wishes

You've done it before so you know what to expect. On my first trial run in January, I thought I could do it fine but didn't realize how much and how intensely I'd crave. This forum has really kept me going to see others knowing what it is yet still defy it, and I am so SICK of being overweight that knocking myself out of ketosis for five seconds of tastebud pleasure - marred by a dark cloud of guilt, mind you - is just not worth it!
I have a goal in 2 months, a competition I'm entering that I think will be televised.. and after that, I'm meeting my long-distance boyfriend in August, it's our one-year anniversary and I really want to be pretty for him :$ So this year is THE year for me. I hope it will be for you too, darl. Best of luck.. we've all got your back!

hey all, had a break from internet, doing really well, managed to go the whole way bac to scotland, then bac home in one day, flights buses ect. and not a bite of food.. I did find it so very hard as my routine was a bit messed up etc. really icky mouth at the moment, nothing will wash away the taste mor eand more water helps, the breath strips help for about 3 minutes lol... Calliginosity, you look fab in your avatar.. good luck with it all.. oer what competition sounds intriuging .. the lipotrain will get you to the destination you want if you stick it, I know, some days it is harder than others, but I have to stick to it.. so sick of even thinking about my wieght, clothes, using it as an excuse to be pissed off or sad... as my partner said, it is something that is relatively easy to sort out.. although it seems so hard.. its about perserverance and sticking to your goals eh.. I gave up smoking and I can defo do this, so can all you gorgewous ladies too... looking forward to weigh in saturday, I just love seeing the numbers go down xxx

Hi there really can't work this site out !!! Am actually really worried . I have has no problems being too hungry. Have not deviated once from the diet, average 3 lts water. But got my period, weighed myself this morning (I know I shouldn't ) and am up .8 of a kilo. Am devastated as its been so so hard to stick to.

that's mad, i'm only about 20 minutes from Drogheda
your period will add weight but its only water so don't be worrying, it evens out over a few days and it'll be gone by the time you get weighed. the first week is mainly water weight anyway and by your second weigh-in every pound you lose will be fat. You're doing great with drinking 3 litres a day so that'll help. i've been told the best way to lose water weight is to drink more water, it doesn't make sense but it works. At the start i was weighing myself that often my o/h told me i could count it as a step aerobics class each day so i left my scales in my parents.... but i see them most days so had to leave it in my sisters lol! i got them back a few weeks ago and have managed to curtail my use of it! the weighing daily novelty does wear off but try to avoid doing it daily til then, as you found out we get disheartened when it doesn't tell us what we want to hear. You will have a good loss by the time you get weighed, just hang in there

God it's really great to get support like this . As im sure you know it means a lot when your starving and freezing and watching everyone have a great weekend! Right so ill stop thinking about it. Make myself a massive cup of green tea yum lol . Have you long to go to your goal ? How has the experience been for you?

When i started i said i'd do it for 10 weeks(not believing i'd last 1 week!) then take a break and do weight watchers or the maintainence bit (2 shakes and healthy dinner) so i'm refeeding monday week and I hope to have lost 4 stone by then. i had originally planned on 3 stone but got better results than i expected. I'd like to lose another stone by the end of august then i'll be back to lipotrim to finish what i've started. i'm aiming to be 12 stone so will still have near 4 stone to lose when i get back but i'll do it by xmas.
I'm not really looking forward to the refeed as i think its going to be hard to get back 100% but i know my limits when it comes to social occassions, over the next few months i've a hen weekend, my brother's 21st, my Mam's 60th, my brother-in-law's 30th, 3 weddings and my sister is coming home from new zealand for a 4 week visit so plenty of outings with her.... it's not the food i'll have problems with it's not being able to have a few drinks at them, i'm not even a big drinker but want to have the option. And if i'm honest i have it in my head i'm taking a break so i'd find it very hard to continue.
Feeling cold the whole time does pass, i can't remember when but when you mentioned it i noticed i haven't been cold in ages. I even bought an electric blanket at the start and had early nights reading just to lie in bed with the heat, it was lovely
