I was thinking about going on the lipotrim diet pre wedding my friend has lost LOADS of weight on it in such a short time. I was looking into and then her hair started falling out!! Not even going to consider it now! lol

I'v seen Lloydes Pharmacy do Optislim. Their started packs are £35 for 8 days worth of shakes and then afterwards from what I can see on the website ONE shake is £2.00 after that and you have 3 a day.

I know people who have slimfast before and the programmes sound pretty similar. What would you girls do. Have you heard anything good/bad about either of them.

Also another question - have any of you got the Wii EA active game and leg strap that you don't use anymore you wanna donate or sell to me? lol

my older sister is on the liposlim at the minute and she has lost half a stone in a week but says she is so hungry she cud chew her leg off. i'll hav to tell her about ur friend. i tried slimfast a few years ago and was the same, very hungry x

yeah just cut down on the bad stuff and exercise,

oh no steer well clear, at least with slim fast you actually eat snack and a meal with it

Thats fantastic V43! I think Im gonna go for slimfast too. Boots have got their drums of powder on offer at the min £3 a tin!! Can you beleive that! lol x

yeah my mate is living off the shakes and the occasional flapjack. She said the soup made her sick it was that horrible.

I love the banana slimfast. I have tried it before when I was about 18. I really want to try the coffee one though. x

Be sensible PD87, you dont want to loose your beautiful hair. You are strong, you can do this the right way, all about PMA! go PD87 go PD87 Go PD87!!!

do slimming world instead you will lose what you wont in a healthy way then

Be very wary of these diets hun (says the expert who is overweight and need to lose a few stone, lol). My friend done lighter life and it almost killed her. She had a ton of weight to lose and she did lose loads but it was horrible seeing her on it. She hallucinated about food chasing her, she was always emotional and if she ever had a binge night, boy did she binge which resulted in her having to be sick because she has eaten so much - maybe a sign of bullimia, not sure though.

Anyway she came off it and has never looked back. These diets are great in writing but I wouldn't try them hun if you want to stay healthy. xxx

I tried Lipotrim a couple of years ago. The lack of just about everything made me feel lightheaded most of the time and I found it harder to do simple things and took longer to work things out. I had to stop after just over a week, as I feared for things like driving.

I went on the Lighter Life diet...550 calories a day..and lost ALOT (about 4.5/5 stone in 8/9 weeks). NO hair falling out, my skin was better..and I had alot more energy...but I, and the vast majority on the course did not last the 12 weeks).

The diet was DRASTIC (your body goes into a state of Ketosis and starts to 'eat its stored fat due to low calorie intake) and it certainly worked in the SHORT TERM but even with the weekly 'self help' groups (load os bollox IMO)..the willpower to stick on the plan was MAJOR and IMO it is not something that everyone can sustain for onger periods (you are not allowed to be on LL for longer than 12 weeks at such a low calorie intake).

If you have 'food issues' I firmly believe you need to get your 'head and food problems' sorted before you expect to be successful at any weight loss programme.

I say have a go at losing some sugar and carbs and exercise a bot more..a sure fire way to lose a small amount regularly...just think lb a week for the next 12 months...
