Last diet I'll ever go on (oh I do make myself laugh!)

So Exante is my last ditch, desperate attempt to shift some pounds. I successfully lost 2 stone on WW a couple of years ago but piled it all back on when we started our own business. Hate the fact that summer is (hopefully) looming and I can only wear the same three pairs of jeans at the moment. Two days in to exante and already 6lb down, I know that's probably mostly water weight but it feels better than the 1 1/2 lbs a week I was losing on WW! I intend on doing exante for a month then going back to WW to finish off and retrain my brain to eat more sensibly. I just really, really need the exante boost because I was so very miserable. Looking forward to the journey and to meeting/sharing with some lovely people on here who know what it's like and how I feel (esp being married to a natural slim, athletically built husband!)
 
My food package arrives tomorrow, so I grabbed a few slim fast from Tesco's. I am so determined and I don't trust myself to wait a few days! Doesn't take much to get me off the wagon but it takes immeasurable mountains to get me back on. What other diets have you tried before? My main go to is Weight Watchers, but I've just put so much on lately that I really needed a quick fix to start with. What's your plan?
 
same really i liked sw but i need a quick fix and then maintain a healthy lifestyle!
 
D'you know the hardest thing? I don't mind the shakes and I'm not at all hungry, but cooking sausages for the rest of the family for tea is really making my mouth water :-( even though my daughter will take over and dish up, they smell bloody wonderful!
 
I nibbled an inch of sausage! Lol. Very, very slowly. Hope I can get away with it!
 
Hi to both of you hope you don't mind me butting in lol I am in exactly the same situation fed up of not being able to wear what I would like not just what fits so have started the Cambridge Diet and am on day 2 so fingers crossed this time will be different. It's a scary thought thinking summer is coming and yet again I am uncomfortable with my weight. Same situation as you with young child even though I'm not eating till have to do the cooking and that's hard lol how are you both getting on ?
 
Hi Lucy, nice to meet you :) I'm finding it ok, not very hungry, shakes actually quite tasty. But the biggest thing that's keeping me going is the loss of 8lb in five days :) I have nibbled maybe twice, but literally an inch of something and that's all I've cheated. Haven't physically noticed the weight loss but then I was seriously bursting at the seams so it might take a few more pounds until the jeans zipper isn't straining!
 
8lb well done you I think That's the biggest motivation and makes you want to carry on. You will start noticing a difference I haven't weighed myself at all yet and don't weigh till Thursday :-s so will see make sure you measure yourself as well as you might not notice it but could lose inches xx
 
Welcome to the forum mate and I hope it all goes well for you ;)
