Another 5lbs gone this week. I'm over the moon now :) Now ready for another week and I'm loving the results.

I just looked on the SnS meal planer datebase Vegetables I don;t see Carrots on there so I guess we can't. You can have them on the lifestyle plan.

well done on your first weigh in! Im on week two also :) good luck!

Well done on 10lbs! Thats Fantastic :wee:

Good luck :) Coke Zero is fantastic!! Since my food bill has gone down weekly my fridge is more full of coke zero lol

Thank you x x Yes I felt bad eating them and I did put the rest in the bin. I've been ok since then and stayed on plan. I'm not to sure what happened that night really or why i ate them lol. I'm just now focusing on weigh in Thursday and now I have started following a Chris Powell CD for...

Last night I had a bag of crisps :cry:I just couldn't stop myself having it and yet I don't no why I even did have it but I ate half the bag then looked at it and said wtf am I doing? and put the rest in the bin. I'm not going to be angry at myself cus I did know what I was doing and did put...

Thank you everyone x x x today I did my first press up lol i only did one and then i couldn't push my body up. But I walked off with my head so high cus I did it!

fantastic!!! :)

my first full week on VLCD and lost 15 lbs. I'm over the moon about it. :stickdance:

woke up this morning and was excited to see how I got on so i went right to them scales! 15lbs GONE :wee: so happy and really enjoying it. Only once I have had to fight temptation all other times I've not felt hungry at all.

wow my maths was out by 2 thank you for letting me know notsoskinnymarge :) I guess I should have worked it out lol Now I'm thinking why MFP said 61 but least 2 no now..

Hey minnie how's you doing Hun?

coke Zero isn't caffeine free it has 100mg in per lter

lmao ok now I no it's normal :) I found mouth wash a treat hahaha

same as what betty said. If your on a VLCD then you can only drink coke zero or dr pepper zero they have no citric acid in were the other diet drinks do and would bring us out of ketosis.

Thank you Whelping :) I'm on my 6th full day now and I'm still loving it :). Last night was a struggle as I found myself hungry for the first time since doing VLCD but I went to bed I no if i had stayed up i would have been tempted to eat something. I have now made some little pots of sugar...

I'm on my 6th full day but I'm getting a odd metal taste in my mouth by the end of the night is this normal when on a VLCD?

OMG I just had the chicken soup and o0o i loveeee it!!! lol I made it with more water 300ml and blended it but omg it's good :wee:

so I've been on this Exante & slim and save diet since Thursday was my first full day of it. and I stood on the scales and I'm 9lbs down. Now some may say o0o its water but it's not since I'm not just starting to diet I've been at this now 3 years and it's hard work. Yesterday I found...

day 5 - I'm still not in ketosis but I have a headache :( But I no that can happen. Today's plan is Shake - bar - meal. I really do love the shakes lol :drool:

Thank you Starlight :)

on reading the Exante page it says to stay in ketosis we must have 60G carbs a day but on MFP it saying Breakfast - Milk shake = 19 Carbs Lunch - Milkshake = 19 carbs Tea - Shepard's pie = 21 Carbs Now this = 61 Carbs so I'm not sure how I can stay 60 Carbs? or is this like Adkins where we...

I read a lot of people putting coffee with their vanilla shake. I did this but I put the coffee with ice cold Choc shake and it was yummmmm :)

red bean chilli wasn't bad but i didn't like spag bol at all :( im trying the Carbonara tomorrow.

Day 3 on Exante and I'm still enjoying it and not feeling hungry. I'm not in ketosis yet but I'm also told the strips are not very reliable so will wait and see. Today im doing 2 shakes and one bar just for a change. I've not weighed myself I'm being strong on that to weigh myself once a week...

Thank you Marie :) I'm very proud of how I'm doing cus I now know I will be here longer for my daughter. Looking at your start weight and were you are now is fantastic so a big well done Hun to you also. :greenapple:

I have now started on my new journey with the Exante Diet " VLCD " and so far so good. I didn't like the porrage but that's it so far. I'm loving the shakes and bars. I'm trying me hardest not to weigh myself every day like I'm use to doing. The only thing upsetting me is the lose skin I'm not...

Your doing fantastic Jasper! I love the shakes too. I was so shocked to taste how nice they was made with water after I was use to slimfast shakes, the Exante ones I find nicer and not to sweet. I've not had the bars yet I'm having one for lunch. The only thing I don't like is the porrage but i...

Hiya Jasper :) Thank you! So far I'm enjoying Exante and not feeling hungry but has I said before this may be cus I was use to shakes with doing Slimfast for a while. I'm looking forward to being weighed and I'm trying so hard not to weigh myself day by day like I have done in the past. So I...

for lunch i made the choc shake into a mousse and really couldn't eat it. it was so weird so I ended up adding a little more water and blending down again to a shake and drinking it fast. But i don't think I will be doing the mousse again it's not for me. The taste was fine it was the texture of it.

Fantastic Jasper . I love how positive you are. I'm loving the Exante I'm not sure on the apple and cin porrage lol. I had it this morning and I just can't make up my mind if i enjoyed it or not. The shakes so far Ive loved. Good luck on your weigh in! :)

ok thank you. ill put a bottle of water in the fridge over night then it be cold.

Can i make the mousse in the morning ready for lunch time? same when im making it just has a shake can i make it in the morning and keep in fridge till lunch time so it's not so warm.

Just had the apple and cin porrage not to sure what to think of it lol it's not nasty but it's salty so im drinking lots of water with it :waterbottle: I'm not sure if i like it or not lmao maybe i will get use to it.

Hiya :) good luck. I'm also on a VLCD Diet "exante " and loving it :bliss:

The shepherd's pie wasn't as bad has i thought it would be :stickdance: I also made some jelly in a ice cube tray so i can pick at them later when watching a film. Tomorrow morning im having the apple and Cinnamon porrage. So far so good :)

I got myself some Ribena plus Immune,its the only one with out citric acid in. Thank you for the help :)

I'm thinking about having the shepherd's pie :)

Hi minnie :) I started today - Good luck Hun :)

Afternoon Angel x How did you get on with the forum on slimfast page? I found it very quiet and not many welcomed me. I've just started Exante today and put my slimfast tins away. I love My Fitness pal it as helped me a lot on this journey.

Thank you I will look that up :)

Where can i get juice that is citric acid free or do I have to get the tubs of Exante page.

Hi Hoping. Yes! I'm excited about it. I've been use to slimfast so shakes are not new to me. The hardest part for me is going to be when I sit down to watch a film and cant have anything to eat lol but i will cross that bridge when i come to it.

Hi Angel - I've been on slimfast for awhile but I have never seen no books or guides. They do have a fourm on the main slimfast page though. Hope that helps x x

Hi Deb - I'm not on SW anymore but when I was i loved it. I stopped due to the girl who ran the class left and the lady who took over I just couldn't get a long with she was about 9stone and I always got the feeling she was looking down her nose at some of us in the group. Good luck on your...

Thank you everyone for your comments. I took a rest from here for a little due to RT. I'm starting a Exante Diet 1st Aug and not all of my friends agree with it :( but I am still going to do this diet and prove to them I can stay with it. I do understand them and why they worry about so little...

I'm good and Ive just put in my order. Ive have gone with the shakes and Bars and I put in a box of meals to mix it up a bit. I'm not a big fan of soup so i left them out. I did orded the mouse thing to makes shakes into a mouse.

Hello Everyone. I have been reading this part of the forum for a few days now and I'm enjoying what I am reading. I have been on so many diets and yes I have lost the weight but I still have problems on weighing out food and getting the right amount. I did slimfast and I still am till I get my...

ok thank you. I will be ordering exante Monday and giving it a go.

Hi Zoe I just sat and read your diary. I'm really thinking of giving Exante ago. I have been on so many diets and even though I'm losing weight I get fed up of trying to find the right foods to eat and the size I'm to eat. Exante seams like there is no thinking about sizes it's done for you. At...

i love my water lol 3 years ago you wouldn't catch me drinking water but now i have 2 to 3 ltrs a day. I fill bottles up the night before and put them in the fridge ready for the next day and I then no I must drink them that day and cold water is so nice with lemon in.

Hello everyone. I have a question about Exante and slimfast. From what I have read exante is 3 things per day. I was thinking can you do this with slimfast? just have 3 per day Or is there something in Exante different.I'm thinking of trying Exante but I have a lot of slimfast to use up first...

Sorry for the long wait in replying I have just moved house. Yes I am T2 and finding Juddd hard to be honest with my sugar lvls. I'm trying to work round it but i have ran into a lot of problems.

Thank you! I've lost 6lbs so far doing the JUDDD but what i am finding on my low days it makes my diebeties play up. So I will have to work something out for down days. Were in Lanc's are you? Im in the middle of moving from Burnley to Rochdale. I move on the 27th I really don't like Burnley to...

Thank you PurpleRoses. :)

Good morning everyone. After looking around the forums last night I found this part and was so happy I did :o My name is Joanne and I'm 42 years old. I started my journey when I topped the scales at 34 stone and I looked at myself and said in my mind " I'm killing myself " and I have a...

yayyyy its Friday :greenapple:

I'm not sure why but i weighed myself this morning and I'm back to the same weight as i was when i started :cry:I think it's the coffee I really need to stop the coffee on down days. I'm on a up day today so I'm going to make a vow to myself " no more white coffees with sugar on down days " this...

wish next door would stop cutting their grass the noise is driving me mad lol

Nescafe has a espresso coffee out now but its not cheap £4 a small jar. But i can drink that with no sugar nor milk. I think I'm going to start having black coffee and see if i can get use to it with no sugar it may take a few days but I'm sure I can do it.

Hiya Lanarkwitch - I have tried sweeteners but just didn't like it at all I could taste it right away. The soup is really nice though. I even tried the new Triva sweetener and just didn't like it at all.

hugssss sis! Glad your here and thank you :o You will do good on this diet Jayd.

Thank you :o Today I'm really feeling tired cus I had a very Late night last night and need my coffee today but I can't and I'm determined not to use my Cals up on coffee. It's times like this I wish I could drink Black coffee with out sugar. I'm making a big pan on carrot and tomato soup today...

thank you :) I'm thinking of making a veg soup for my Down days from next week. or a tomato and pepper soup.

:greenapple: OK so I said I wasn't going to weigh myself lol but I did this morning and 3lbs already off. So I'm so happy right now. I'm on a up days today and started with porrage not one of my Fav things but most filling and will see me though till snack time. I did wake up more hungry this...

I use them on DDs a lot cus they do fill you and if mixed with other things there not so bad. I couldn't eat them on there own. But on Down days there good.

I use to be a slave to the scales every morning and night. Now I'm going to wait till I have done the first week of JUDDD then weight myself. Then I think I will go to weighing myself one a day in the morning so I can see whats happening each day. So far I'm loving JUDDD and it's funny on Down...

I'm so so tempted to stand on the scales but I find myself telling myself NO! Today I'm on a down day and tbh I'm pretty hungry today so I'm going to keep myself busy much as I can. I think the reason I'm hungry is I went to bed early last night and didn't eat nothing after 7pm. Today's Menu...

are you on a down day Sarah? Have you heard of the zero noodles. They helped me so much yesterday.

Does anyone else use Zero noodles? I use them on down days since it's only 5Cals per 100g.

Well yesterday was my down day and I was very shocked that when I woke up this morning I wasn't hungry at all. Last night when I went to bed I really thought that I would wake up hungry. Today is my up day and I'm looking forward to making the most of it lol but still being healthy. Today I'm...

Thank you Sarah. :o Today went really well for a down day. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow though my Up day. But I must admit the Zero noodles did help a lot.

Hi Sarah - I normally try to stay to just home cooked stuff and add very little fat. Not a limit though. I do use slim fast though more so cus Im not a big eater in the mornings so a shake is good. But I'm doing JUDDD now cus sometimes I feel so restricted on what I can eat. Now I don't cus of...

Loulabelle your doing fab!! I'm new to this myself and I'm really hoping this plan will work for me. I have changed Diets so many times to find one i really love. So good luck Hun on your journey. Joanne x

I'm still new to JUDDD but I'm going to combine it with Slim fast . I'm going to keep track up with this diary since I have been told doing a Diary really helps. Yesterday was really good, I was on a up day and I felt really good being able to eat stuff I have not had in a long time. Since I...

Thanks Bee - It is hard cus of having kids there is always the naughty stuff in the house lol.

Morning everyone I've been reading a lot on JUDDD and I'm really liking what I read. I'm thinking of giving this ago and combining it with my Slim fast. The question I have is fat grams, what if the daily amount of fat you can have on JUDDD? Ive been on a journey to lose weight for 3 years now...

I did really well last night. I did stay up but i didn't touch any food at all!. I'm moving house end of June and were I'm going is all country side so I'm going to be walking a lot with my little girl. Today's Menu. B - Shake S - nice cup of coffee L - Shake S - Apple D - Chicken...

Hi Julia I go to bed late cus I have a handicapped daughter and Natasha goes to bed about 10pm so when Natasha as gone It's my time for a few hours peace and time just to chill a little or I'd not get time to myself at all. But I will need to change my bed time I think.

I love it and corrie and eastenders

MY tip would be food Diary. I also find thin slices of cucumber helps to if i was to pick at something. But I'm not sure if I pick out of hunger or board em.

I'm fine thought the day but my down fall is i don't go to bed early so come late night I'm hungry.

I try to use all mine. I'm on 1200 Cals. If I am under then I leave them. I'm not sure if leaving them is the right thing since it says if you don't eat enough your body stores fat but 1200 isn't to hard to use up really.

So Angry with myself this morning. I didn't go to bed till 12.30am and before i went I had a Cheese sandwich. So today I have to try again. I really need to get my midnights down to were I don't eat. The worse thing is I no what I'm doing when I eat the bad thing is I don't stop myself. :(...
