Glad you've been enjoying your early nights! If you can't drink all your water, try green tea. It may help, as it has a different flavour and is warm?? Glad to hear you're still going strong! Have a good day!

Thanks ExanteDreamer - that's exactly why I don't want to do 30DS yet! Simi - 30DS is 30 day shred; it is a workout by Jilian Michaels composed of several circuits incorporating strength training, abs and cardio. You get really good results. PX90 is 90 day workout which incorporates...

Scales have actually moved up a bit, but TOTM arrived so I am not that fussed. Tried on some old jeans and they fit, but will look better once I shift the last 7-13lbs. Another beautiful day in London, it seems. Really looking forward to exercising, once I start eating; really hoping to try PX90...

Thanks ExanteDreamer, I have one more weigh in until Friday so fingers crossed! Thanks Simi! My first goal is to get to 11 stones and 5 pounds which marks a healthy BMI; I would then like to settle somewhere between 10 stones and 10 pounds and 11 stones. Feels like I have some way to go...

Great first week loss! I am sure this has spurred you on even more, not that you need it see how you managed to avoid all that takeaway! Hope you've had another great day and managed to tackle the bedroom :)

Compliments are always helpful - sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and cannot see the results of our hard work. I am sure you will get to your goal by July - we are still in April so you have plenty of time. Have a nice day!

Wow! That is an incredible loss! Over 1 stone! You will be at goal in no time!

I love the banana shakes, but vanilla is my favourite. Cannot stand the chocolate shakes. Soups are definitely hit and miss, so I don't order them now! I tried to use up all the flavours I hated, just so I could enjoy the ones I liked at the end! I know what you mean! I love looking at the...

Sometimes the scales are stubborn, but I am sure you are losing plenty of inches! Our bodies are strange machines sometimes :) Have a good day!

That is a great loss! Good luck with the rest of your journey!

Thanks ExanteDreamer! I hope you're feeling much better today! I had such a busy day yesterday, so there was no time to post. Had 2 Vanilla shakes and a bar; my size 14s are feeling very loose which is great. Measured my waist and it is 29.5 inches. I am hoping a few more inches drop off, but I...

Don't worry, I understood perfectly! Have a nice day! x

Morning! I weighed this morning and the scales have shifted again; I am feeling really good about that. Usually I lose in increments, but I have been losing everyday since weigh in. Hopefully I will have a nice loss on Friday :) It's really quiet in here. Oh well, better get ready for work.

It sounds like you're doing great! You will have a pleasant surprise when you weigh in on Wednesday! The soups are a bit hit and miss; try adding pepper and garlic powder - it makes it much more palatable :) Hope tomorrow is just as great as it has been for you today!

Thank you so much! I have always had a difficult relationship with food; I just hope I can conquer it this time round. Often I wish I could just be 'normal' and eat intuitively like others, but I realise I will have to work on my attitude with food for life. There is no magical cure; I have...

Just about to have my final pack of the day; I have had 3.2 litres of water but I still feel really thirsty. May have some sparkling water, along with my final shake. Really enjoyed my weekend; it was nice and relaxing. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow though; hopefully the...

You must think about yourself and your long term goals; you can't please everyone. I haven't told anyone, apart from a few relatives; I avoid social occasions and if I'm meeting up with friends, I usually go for coffee. This may not be the best way around things, but your own happiness is the...

Your nails look great! You should be chuffed with such a huge, overall loss.

Thanks Simi, I do hope you enjoy your day too. Afternoon! Well I went for my walk and it was really nice; it is still chilly outside but it is very sunny. Still addicted to researching recipes and I've found some wonderful food blogs which I have enjoyed browsing. Whilst the weight loss has...

Morning! Hope you have a great day!

Weighed this morning and the scales have moved again, which is good; I usually don't lose for a few days after weigh in. Not much planned for today, but I will go for a walk and enjoy the beautiful weather before I am back to work tomorrow. Feeling optimistic and in a great mood this morning.

That's great! You must be deep into ketosis and really motivated/determined! Keeping going - you will be at goal in no time! :) Sleep well x

Thanks Simi:) I felt tired, but I can't sleep! Wow you must have been very busy; it is good that you have managed to keep to plan, despite being so busy. Hope you have a great night x

That's good to know! I will see how my weight loss continues and make a decision; it is very tempting to continue on TS until goal though! :)

Well, I have had a good day today! I drank 3.2 litres of water, 2 cups of coffee, 2 vanilla shakes and a toffee bar. May try and drink some more water, as I am feeling thirsty. Aiming to have an early night today, as I am feeling really tired.

I was just wondering whether that was the view endorsed by Exante? On Cambridge, you had to introduce food once your BMI reached 25; I am not sure whether this was advocated for health reasons. I lost almost a stone moving up the plans, which took longer but it was good to be introduced to food...

Since I began my quest for weight loss, water has been an intrinsic part of my diet.

I really like the Quorn sausages!

This is such a great post! Adding to favourites.

Great pictures everyone!

This looks intense. I am going to complete PX90 and Turbo Fire before I venture onto this.

Well done! Great to hear you're still maintaining

I did 30DS three years ago and it was great; I didn't lose weight but my upper arms and stomach were much more defined. Once I get to goal, I will definitely be dusting it off and giving it a go.

1) To develop my confidence 2) To feel happier within myself 3) To fit into my clothes 4) To not feel ashamed 5) To work on my relationship with good once and for all

Welcome to Minimins! All the best with your Slimming World journey!

Welcome to Minimins and good luck with your journey!

I make mine with a lot more water than recommended.

You look great! Well done!

I will definitely be trying this method.

I am glad that she has found true happiness at last! I admire her diligence and perseverance; I would like to become toned, but with less muscle.

No, I am scared of them. TPBM likes tomatos

I detest the Tomato soup! Try splitting it in half and making it with lots of water to dilute the taste and adding a lot of garlic powder/pepper; it is rather bland but I prefer it that way.

The scales will move soon! I have had occasions where they don't move for days, but eventually I get a huge loss overnight. Our bodies are a funny thing.

Thanks NekoZombie, I will start introducing food (albeit low carb) once I reach 11 st 5lbs and aim to lose the last 5-9lbs that way.

I agree Simi! I love watching programmes and looking at pictures; I have saved several food blogs to my favourites. This afternoon, I began thinking about life after Exante. At the moment, I feel strong and resolute however I know motivation easily falters. After I lost massive amounts on...

Well done; you're doing so well! Time will fly so quickly :) I love the Vanilla shakes too xx

Hi everyone, I started on TS and have lost almost 2 stones. Soon my BMI will have reached 25 and I am wondering whether it is safe to continue on TS or whether I should move to WS. I know on LL and Cambridge they advocate moving up to a higher plan when you reach a healthy BMI, but there is...

Well I weighed this morning and the scales have moved again! Really happy about this! I can't believe how quickly the weight has come off and how much happier I am feeling. Not much planned for today, but I will probably be browsing for healthy recipes - it seems I'm addicted!

Thanks Simi! I am feeling really motivated! Losing is the easiest part, maintaining is the hard part but I'm trying to be optimistic. Good luck on your journey!

Hey everyone, I posted when I first started Exante, but have not recently posted. So far I have lost 1st and 11lbs; I am feeling much more happier and more comfortable within myself. It's amazing how much weight loss can change you. I dieted in the past and got down to 10st7lb from 16st but bad...

Well, I lost 9lbs this week! Very pleased with the result!

Thanks everyone; I woke up today and it's not so bad. Still there niggling, but it's bearable.

Thanks quirkgirl and dmoran! So far so good; no bad breath, but I am drinking over 3l of water a day. Suffering from a headache, which I find unusual as it is day 7.

Hey everyone, Today is my 7th day on Exante, but since yesterday I have felt very light headed and I am also suffering from headaches. I feel the occasional pang of hunger, but do not have a surge of hunger. My breath doesn't smell, but I have a funny taste in my mouth when I wake up in the...

Good luck! I started Friday :)

I just realised porridge is prepared differently from the soups/shakes! I know how you feel; I felt sick at the prospect of having to consume the Tomato soups. Now I split the packs, it is much more palatable - I sprinkle plenty of pepper too. Unfortunately that is not an option with the...

Hey everyone, I am on my third day so far! I have around 35lbs to lose; I am finding it okay so far. I have tried VLCD before and lost a lot, but unfortunately gained part of it back. I am feeling optimistic this time and hoping I will not fall back into bad habits. No sign of ketosis breath...

I experienced the same thing with the Tomato and Basil Soup. I found that splitting the pack in half and adding around 300ml of water to each part, made it much more palatable.
