Thanks .. Im eating a lot more veg that I had been, I was sticking to more of a higher fat diet no carb but found after the initial weight loss it stalled and then I ended up eating any old crap and gaining quite a bit of weigh (damn carrot cake and white chocolate chip cookies!) I think the veg...

Hi Jen Sometimes static weight for a few days leads to a nice deduction at the end of the week so don't fret!! As for going on holiday I went to Paris last year for 4 days and officially went off the grid on eating ... I won't mention what and how much as it'll make me super hungry ha! But...

I love this quote! Lux

Hi Harry massive congratulations on the job! Remember little victories in the end will win the war! You will get to goal! Lux

Hello Harry! Can I join I too please as I'm only in my second week I'm hoping for a stone off in march fingers crossed!

Doing such a physical job I'd add in an additional pack or def a meal (there's some on the exante website) I think diets are very personal at the end of the day and its all a little trial and error (some swear exercise helps with exante others say it hinders) I think the key is def not feeling...

Can I honk that I haven't stuck to total but done a weekend away with low carb healthy choices #ibypassedthepastriesatthebuffetbreakfast

Hi Lisa, I found mine was really bacony and artifical ... i made it super runny like a soup to start with then did it really thick on the hob still no good :o( the o/h (skinny minnie pah!) ended up eating it with a full plate of dinner lol! Good job the other stuff is good! Lux

Hi, Firstly congrats what am amazing weight loss and some serious commitment! If it was me I would prob try the 5:2 diet as its a midway point and use something like my fitnesspal for calorie counting ... With the 5:2 u eat 500 - 600 for two days then normal the others so you could still...

If you want to lose the weight this is a fab way to do it! I'm finding it really easy (tomorrow will b a hell day for me saying that!!) but then before I started I'd given up dairy which was the hardest thing for me! I'm finding I'm not hungry at all and am really enjoying the meals which...

If not do like I have ... Whack it on eBay and buy some vanilla shakes and porridge much nicer!! Lux

Hey - how are you getting on?

Very easy done! Prob most of the weight back on is water/salt so it'll shift soon enough! How much are you aiming to lose? Lux

I got the winter warmer pack ... Hate the pasta!! I did debate keeping it but mixing with 200g of low carb veggies but decided to get shot and I bought chocolate, banana, vanilla shakes and more porridge! The vanilla shakes r fab esp when mixed with coffee - latte hot iced coffee cold, I also...

Lol if u get him a maximuscle container he can just say its a protein shake ... That has def got to earn him some man points lol!! Lux

Honk for 6 days and counting

Day 50 !!! Amazballs Lux

Hi - I hope you don't mind me mentioning this but your suppose to have the shakes within 15 minutes of making them as the nutrients breakdown ... I find if I can't blend at work mixing the shakes with hot water works failing that I have a bar :D Good luck for the 1st weigh in however if u stick...

thats a good plan! Thing is when/if the weight loss stalls exercise is the best thing you to kick it into gear so no need to do too much too early! I have dvd (usually about 20 minutes of it) which is brill if you like boxing ...called box pilates might be worth checking out if you get boot...

Def stop if u start feeling light headed!! I think it depends what your use to doing ... But everything you do def helps with the weight loss! Today I've done two hours dog walk - the joys of a year old beagle and a body combat class :D have to say I did cancel one class yesterday I usually do...

Really? Tbh I thought it was weird the hunger has gone but not be in Ketosis however I've not got a metallic taste so I was in two minds about it lol

I'm following the total solution ... I generally stick to shakes/porridge and then bars if I'm doing an exercise class as a friend did LL and found the shakes/porridge and soups generally gave a better loss. I also put a stone on since christmas so its pretty new chub which I do find comes off...

I'm following the Total Solution with a couple of nights "off plan" instead of the 21 days break ... the first one is due on Saturday when the o/h is taking me away to warwick for the weekend ... this will mean a dinner out which instead of looking forward to I'm a bit worried about the possible...

Thanks fayfe, tbh I've being doing the ketosis stripes and i'm still not showing any signs of being in ketosis and as long as the weight is coming off I'm not bothered! The jelly is good call for those deperate times which is better than hitting the chocolate :D

sammysue - sounds very similar to me .. im 11.12 and @ 5.2 I should be around 9.7 (top of healthy bmi) my mum is 8.7 which is prob what I should be aiming for however that seems like it's too far away so for now i'm aiming to get back to 10.5 and then set the next goal ... Already in 10 days ive...

Hey do you have the jelly whilst following the ts?

Do you have the jelly whilst following the ts?

Hey I've only really just started - day 4 but I mix it up with bars/shakes and porridge and I've lost 7 pounds so far! I do exercise a lot so I tend to have bars on those days or when out and about. I'd def recommend the chocolate orange ones yummy!!

lol 2 gym sessions in one day .... that is crazy! I did combat yesterday and I've got step tonight see how I fair with that! Have to say from being 16.6 stone and not able to walk up the stairs without being knackard I love the gym classes now ... I get stuck as kick out of the fact I am def not...

I just mix it with hot water I find if I do it slowly it blends fine so I don't need to whisk or microwave it. I did the porridge the other day as well in a costa cup (we have a costa at work) left the lid on and it was delicious! The pasta on the other hand had to boil for about 20 minutes :(

Well done to everyone on the losses! Just shows sticking to it gets quick results! Had my first weigh in this morning YIPEE! Week 1 -10 Here's to next week ..

Lol I think it's a def 5 pound loss ... It does seem hard to believe though with it coming off so quick! I've lost another 2 pounds this morning 10 in a week!!! Beyond thrilled! Even better I "forgot" lunch today just not hungry at all after the chocolate orange bar -tres yummy!! So only just...

Lol getting older is super depressing especially when it comes to those pesky scales!! Yeah I'm on exante basically meal replacements tbh I feel like a bit of a failure for being on it as I'm a great believer in diet and exercise (I lost 6 stone doing just that!) however I'm being treated for...

Hey welcome to the boards! You sound very familiar I'm 5"2 started at 12.11 and want to get down to 9.7 ASAP!! I turned 30 last year and I'm determined to see my 31 as a healthy bmi! What diet plan are you following?

Ooh I got the winter pack ... I'm selling the carbonara they are truly horrible! I heard the soups/shakes are better for weight loss so I'm going for porridge/chocolate and vanilla shake next time :D

That's really good! The o/h has booked a weekend away next weekend so I'm thinking of taking the bars and have booked in at zizzi for dinner so I can stick to salad! Mother's Day will b trickier ... 3 courses already paid for eeek! I started out a couple of years ago 16.7 stone (I'm 5ft2)...

Lol def!!! Mine is 5 years younger so the metabolism is working a lot better than mine!! At his work the did their bmr and he can have 3000 calories a day!! No wonder I piled 2 stone on when we moved in together pah!! How are you finding the diet? I've found lots of malic only drinks which...

Mine is usually very good and it helps he's a meat eater and I'm a veggie however tonight he decided to open a large bar of white chocolate which had been sat in the fridge! I'm absolutely fine with anything fully wrapped but open white chocolate I have no chance against! Luckily tho I have 'the...

Hey I hope you don't mind me adding to this ... I'd def keep a food diary and weigh everything! However if it keeps up I'd recommend seeing your drs ... It took me 8 months to finally get referred to the hospital and I've been diagnosed with hormone imbalance which makes weight loss pretty...

That's an awesome loss in a day!!! Big congrats! A loss like that really drives you on :D I checked this morning (as I do every morning can't help it!!) and it was a 2 pound loss since yesterday! Only 4 to get back into the 11s, 9 pounds to get back into overweight, 1 stone 10 pounds till the...

The ones I got are called ketone strips usually they are behind the counter but you don't need a prescription for it

Hey I bought the winter warmer set and I'd def recommend the porridge but the pasta is horrible! I'm debating mixing it with some chilli and maybe some cauliflower or broccoli to be able to eat it!

Hey, with the porridge I got a costa coffee cup (take out variety) whack in some hot water but the lid on and leave for a couple of minutes and its good to eat ... Well good for me :D

Hey I'm on total plan and find working out no problem I do 2 hours cardio session plus another two hour sessions in the week and two hour dog walk daily. I would just say plan the meals you have ... I stick to bars on exercise days, drink loads of water and keep your fatigue in check! Apart from...

That's amazing!! Monday nights I do body combat and step love that as its crazy calories burnt! I've just picked up the strips £4.99 for 50 from the chemist also got some mint breath spray think I might need that over next few weeks if I want to keep friends and the bf!!

nah I don't think it makes much difference and there are a few forums which say its okay and others not so much ... I'm thinking it's a bit of trial and error, I've bought some ketosis strips so hopefully it'll be a sure fire way to for sure. Mind you I've been drinking loads of the orange...

lol staying out of the kitchen is the best thing! I love cooking and am def avoiding all of the recorded cookery programs on the planner at the moment as watching those is akin to torture! What packs are you on and how are you finding them? I love the porridge/bars and I had a chocolate shake...

Sammyrose ... I've just checked and fanta zero has citrix acid in which will take you out of ketosis ... if you want to stay in that best to stick with coke and dr pepper zero and some fruit drinks which only contain Malic acid not citrix Hope that helps

Hey all, I'm on day 2 of Exante ... really struggled yesterday but armed with Dr Pepper and Coke Zero today plus left breakfast until 10am which has definately helped! Had the nut and toffee bar yesterday and porridge which is delicious however can not stand the pasta YUCK! Only 27 to get...

Hi! I'm on Exante day 2 ... be really interested in how you got on with LL and whether you have any tips for sticking to it as 5 stone is an incredible amount to lose!

Hi Kez, same here! Found day one quite hard but today I am armed with some zero cal drinks in a hope these will get me through into ketosis! How are you getting on so far?
