The last time I did a VLCD I was off work for the first two days (easter bank hols), and I found it a bit of a struggle.... but this time I was in work and found it much easier. I thought I would struggle at the weekend because I didn't really have anything planned, but I took advantage of the...

So yesterday saw day 1 of week 2.... Breakfast - hot vanilla shake. Becomming a firm favourite of mine Lunch - Red berry bar. I put this in the fridge as suggested in the reviews on the Exante site, and I have to admit I enjoyed it a lot more. Dinner - Spag bol. This is most definitely my...

Hi, and good luck with your current weighloss journey :) I suffer from migraines myself, and I honestly don't know how I would cope with having one every single day! BUt fair play to you for starting again :)

Today is the beginning of week 2 for me, and official weigh in day. But first, my weekend Friday: Porridge oats, white chocolate and raspberry shake, and maple syrup pancakes. Friday was a good day... actually enjoyed my porridge, but made it with a bit less water which I think made it nicer...

So yesterday I has a toffee caramel shake for breakfast, which I decided to have hot (I find when you heat the shakes they're thicker and more filling)... It was quite nice. For lunch I had a red berry bar... wasn't really sure what to think of it at first, but it's nice enough! On reading the...

So, my willpower was a bit crappy last time, and I figured I was trying to do too much at once.... Since then I have managed to quit smoking (yay me), and I started back on exante on Monday. I have to say that I'm really enjoying some of the new products, and it might make it slightly easier...

Day 1 - Back on it after the 'shock on the scales' (7lbs damage in 48 hours) :confused: So I enjoyed my vanilla shake hot with a spoonful of coffee this morning, I love how it feels kinda naughty. Really getting a taste for the bars now, I seem to appreciate the little bits of chocolate and...

So after a weekend of complete excess, I'm back to it today... I will freely admit I made completely the wrong choices, and I've paid the price on the scales this morning.... I ate so much junk on Saturday that I was physically sick on Saturday night, lesson learned though. Onwards and upwards...

I tend not to go by BMI, but I did take my body fat percentage today, which is now 37.4%. Based on my activity level, etc. I have to get that to around 30-32%, which I know is doable. I'm definitely going to start adding food from tomorrow, and I'm going to start tracking my exercise too (and...

Day 10 - Wednesday 15th May Breakfast - Banana Shake Lunch - Chocolate Orange Bar Dinner - Tomato Soup Water - 3.5 litres Other - I'm starting to lose faith. Stood on the scales and was the same weight again :( they haven't moved an ounce since Friday, but still, onwards and upwards. Think...

Day 9 - Tuesday 14th May Breakfast - Vanilla shake - made into a latte and really enjoyed it this morning Lunch - Toffee nut bar Dinner - Thai soup - made it with a lot more water and a good shaking of black pepper. Actually enjoyed it tonight. Water - Almost 4 litres drank today. Other -...

The no smoking has been really hard the last couple of days, but I'm getting there! Found that, during work, it helps to actually just go outside for a minute or two, and I honestly don't think I've ever drank as much coffee in my life. Trying to do as well as I can with the diet this week, as...

Day 8 - Monday 13th May Breakfast - strawberry shake Lunch - Chocolate Orange bar Dinner - Vegetable soup - Made it a with a little more water this time, and it was much more pleasant :) and no gloop left in the bottom of my cup Water - 2 litres - Going to try to consume a bit more water from...

Day 7 - Sunday 12th May Breakfast - Chocolate shake. Made this hot today and I have to say it was YUMMY! Thoroughly enjoyed it, and it kinda felt a bit naughty! Lunch - Toffee, nut and raisin bar - my tastes are definitely changing, as I found this a lot nicer today Dinner - Because I am still...

Day 6 - Saturday 11th May Breakfast - banana shake Lunch - chocolate orange Dinner - scrambled eggs and ham, reason to follow... Water - 2 litres plus multiple cups of herbal tea. Other - well while others have been struggling to go to the toilet, I've had absolutely no problem today. Seems...

Day 5 - Friday 10th May Breakfast - vanilla shake! Well today I decided I was going to try a recommendation, so I added a little coffee and had it hot! Oh my gad!!!!! Best idea EVER! It felt kinda naughty! Lunch - toffee nut bar Dinner - mushroom soup. The only way I can stomach the mushroom...

I'm on day four now and I've already noticed it getting easier. Thankfully I haven't really had a headache, although I have noticed a slight change temperature wise. Haven't even felt really hungry either, which I find strange.

Day 3 - Wednesday 8th May Breakfast - Strawberry Shake. Surprisingly my least favourite so far, and I usually LOVE strawberry Lunch - Toffee, nut and raisin bar. Discovered that this bar is soooo much nicer when you take every mouthful with a cup of coffee. Actually enjoyed it today Dinner -...

I quit smoking during my absolute stinker of a hangover on Sunday (wasn't even fit to smoke), and have been using one of the little electronic cigarettes when I have a bad craving. Those e-cigs are brilliant. Where a normal smoke would take 10 draws, around 2-3 on the e-cig satisfies the craving...

I must be really lucky to be in an office with a load of girls OBSESSED with their weight. I was considering not telling the girls in work that I was going to be doing this, then I figured that it might be better that they know. I did AAW8 before, and the girls were all very supportive then, and...

Day 2 - Tuesday 7th May Back to work after the bank holiday, and on my own in the office... Might be destined for failure today, but not in the diet department. Breakfast - Banana shake. Banana is usually my least favourite type of milkshake, but made using my new bottle and it tasted really...

Hi all, thought this was a great little way to keep track of how I'm doing. I started Exante on Monday 6th May, and quit smoking the day before, so rest-assured it's not going to be easy. Day 1 - Monday 6th May Breakfast - Vanilla shake. Definitely need to buy a proper blender bottle, could...

Hi, I only just started this myself yesterday (although I've given myself double the challenge by quitting smoking too). Finding it quite easy so far, but there are a couple of things I have discovered: 1. NO amount of garlic pepper/black pepper will make me enjoy the mushroom soup 2. No...
