That’s another pound gone. A little under my predicted estimate, but that’s fine. TOTM just started yesterday, so I reckon that’s had an impact on loss, but it might impact next week too. Desired weight loss: 9-12 pounds Actual Weight Loss Week 1: 2 pounds Week 2: 1.25 Week 3: Week 4: Week...

One week down. Well, it depends on how you count the days. I officially started dieting a week ago, but only started on exante products on Wednesday. On the second day, I had a dramatic and unfortunately temporary weight loss but what matters is that I’m still down from the beginning and...

Reporting 6 pound loss! Yay! I wasn’t expecting that! I was thinking maybe half a pound based on my previous experiences. However, I mentioned in my last post day 5 pounds pretty much came on overnight, so it’s only fair that it might disappear like that too. Easy come, easy go. In that case...

What's the carb content in a portion of skinny rice? Is it much different from regular rice? I've never heard of it before either.

I'm pretty much in the same boat you described in your original post. I've decided to re-start exante and then work on maintenance once I'm back in the safety weight zone. It sounds like things are going okay for you. Some good days and some bad days, but you're getting through it. Keep up...

Okay, back again. 8 months later. And about 10 pounds extra. It’s not far off my one-year anniversary actually so it’s good timing to get back into this. What have I missed? I ended up throwing out a bunch of unused out of date packs recently. This bought back memories of how unpleasant the...

I guess I keep messing around too. I'm popping by today to report a loss though (having kept silent during the gains last week). I'm at 10 stone 4 pounds. I'll probably stay here, fluctuate a bit, and come back in two weeks to report another pound....

10 stone 5.5 pounds. I'm not properly following the working solution plan anymore. Or even stabilizer. Food is usually two exante products and another normal meal (plus snacks). I'm torn between the convenience of the packs and wanting normal food, so I've made up my own version, which is...

Still at 10 stone 7 pounds

10 stone 7 pounds - averaging out at STS despite increases and losses. I liked the mint chocolate shake, but the smell was much nicer than the taste! I drank it warm. Now that we’re getting into autumn and winter, a hot drink rather than a milkshake sounds more appealing in the mornings. My...

Thanks, guys! I'm away this weekend again and haven't got access to scales so I'll be doing my official weigh in and update tomorrow. I just wanted to pop by and visit my diary. It's quite interesting looking back at things, isn't it? I'm terrible for remember details and specifics, so normally...

I'm half way there now (the easy half, but half nonetheless!) I like looking at the numbers and trends. Doing the maths, I'm estimating that I'll get into 9 stone bracket in about 4 weeks. Give or take a week. Let's see if that happens in real life! How's everyone else getting on?

Posting a day early and reporting a STS! I’m quite happy at that. I was attending a catered work event out of town and had limited (to none) good food options and lots of temptation. This meant mini croissant with tea, sandwiches at lunchtime, drinks in the evening and basically no exercise...

10 stone 7.25 pound. That's just off the half way mark. It's nice to be making progress after stalling.

This week flew by! It’s been a bit mental, a lot of stuff came at me at once this week, but luckily I managed to survive it all and even lost some weight! Official weigh in: 10 stone 7.25 pound. Steady progress towards my next goal. I haven’t exactly followed the diet this week, which is...

That's cool! I had no idea there were more new products. They've bought out a lot of them lately, haven't they? I'm tempted to order them too and see what they're like. I've only been wondering if I should order more. Tell us what you think! I quite like the sound of those flavours.

Checking in again. Still here and plugging away. I had a bit of an increase and then a decrease and now I'm pretty much right where I was the last time I posted (10 stone 9 pounds).

Week 8 (I guess????) I'm back at 10 stone 9 pounds. That's goal 1 and 2 knocked off the list again (hopefully for the final time). It was a bit of a dodgy week, probably on par with the week before last. There's really no telling how the weight loss works! I lost three pounds this week, which...

I’m up 3 pounds this week. Strangely, I was being much more rule obeying compared with the previous week. (but not as much as normal). It seems a bit backwards, but maybe there was a weight delay or something? I could see this happening all week and was hoping for a stay the same. I even...

That's a nice even number, Plymscuba! Like you, I'm also aiming to just get into the 9s. And I'm getting there slowly and steadily!10 stone 8.8 today. Another pound down in the last week. It seems like we're all making the same creeping progress downwards towards the 9s.

I’m a day earlier this week for the official weekly report (Week 6). I lost 1 pound this week, which brings me to 10 stone 8.8 lb. In the 6 weeks, I’ve lost just over a stone. Comparing numbers here it feels unimpressive, but we’re all on different journeys, so it’s not really fair to...

Official Sunday morning weigh in: 10 stone 9.8 lb. That's goal number 1 (kinda). I'd say that number is about a half pound extra a couple hours later on. It's a safe bet for next Sunday. :) That was a 1.9 pound weight loss this week, which is a lot higher than I was expecting really. This last...

You'd probably need to talk to your doctor. It's something I thought about myself, because I used to be anemic. Like you, a lot of it was down to diet, so it makes sense than getting 100% iron from exante would be completely fine. The website says not to bother with any other supplements. On...

Hmm, I've changed my mind and am in the pro-simple solution plan after normal BMI. For myself, of course. Determinationiskey raised an interesting point saying that BMI is flawed, which is very true, but in the absence of a perfect measure, it's something I rely on. I need to remind myself that...

9 stone 9 pounds was my big weight loss goal. I'm actually adding a couple of pounds onto that figure for morale/mental sanity reasons. The new goal is 10 stone, but let's call it 9 stone 13.8 pounds so I can still post in this thread. :) Sounds like everyone here is doing well. Keep up the...

Okay, not much progress on the weight loss front, but I’ve gotten over my funk so that’s a good start! I’ll wait ‘til tomorrow to give my official end of week 5 number. I couldn’t tell you exactly what my lowest weight was in recent times due to poor tracking. Low 9 stones, I guess. I also...

I'm feeling bored of this diet lately. Three more weeks feels a bit like a life sentence. I'll be 5 weeks on Sunday and even getting through the next 3 days until this point feels like a long haul. I'm just tired... It's hard to keep motivated without weight loss. I've never really dieted...

Sunday morning is my official weighing time. I do weigh myself every day, and like I said, it goes up and down, so I'm only using the weekly one as official progress. Officially, I am 10 stone 11.75 pounds. I've stayed safely in the 10 stone this week. It will probably take 1.5-2 months to get...

That's it - 4 weeks done! I feel quite proud of myself. It seemed like an awfully long time to be eating the same 10 things and avoid a lot of food I liked. Impossible, even. Now, I haven't been super strict as I initially vowed to be, but it was strict enough compared with what I had been...

Just something I was wondering about. Basically, your BMI is supposed to over 25 to do total and working solutions. Fair enough. But does anyone give up these solutions once they they get under 25 and swap to simple solution? My impression was that people kept doing their original plan until...

That's great Carrie! I was 10 stone 12.5 pounds this morning. Up half a pound from yesterday and down 1 pound from the day before. I do a lot of little fluctuations either direction and plateau. I'll probably be the same again tomorrow.

I tried out the chili this evening. It's good! Very filling. It didn't seem like a massive portion but I was struggling to finish it. Next time, I'll shorten the microwave time because the tops and sides got a bit burnt. I might increase the standing time too.... withawhisper, did you stir...

Howdy folks! Just moved here from the 11 stone thread. Sounds like you guys are making great progress towards 9 stone. I'll probably be here for a good month anyway. I'm only in the 10s by the skin of my teeth!

I tried the spag bol one today. Getting the right water volume and microwave time will take some trial and error for me. It ended up way too liquid-y and basically nothing like a real spag bol! Looked pretty unappealing, I must say, but it tasted fine though. Does anyone have any thoughts on the...

I'm just under 11 stone (10 stone 13 1/4 pounds, but who's counting? :cool:). Goal one accomplished. I'll be starting week 4 tomorrow, averaging 3 pound loss per week (skewed heavily towards the first week). I'm predicting 1.5 pound loss this coming week, which is just off my next goal to...

10 stone 13 1/4 pounds. I could be back into the 11 stone zone tomorrow (like a couple days ago) so I don't want to make it official yet. I'll probably wait to join the 10 crew until tomorrow too. Fingers crossed though.

This is good to know. I ended up at an Indian restaurant and ordered chicken with one of the sauces. I didn't really know what to get. It was a tomato based sauce with peppers so it seemed good enough. And I didn't have any of the sauce except the bit covering the chicken itself. I also had a...

My second week was like yours too (excepting WS and not TS). It would fluctuate between days or mornings and evenings, but at the end of the week it wasn't basically no difference from week one. The heat will be gone in a week or two. So if it is the heat, the poor losses this week will...

I'm waiting on mine to arrive. I bought the mixed pack. I've heard bad things about the carbonara so I'm keeping my expectations low for that. I read on the main part of the exante forum that the chilli was very nice, but there hasn't been much said on it or any of the new ones yet. I'll post...

I've been lurking here a bit longer than I hoped. I was anticipating that last Sunday I'd drop below 11 stone. It didn't happen, or rather, it didn't last; I hit 10 stone 13.8 pounds and then back up to 11 stone 1.5 pounds and languished there unchanged. It looks like I might be approach that 11...

I've been lurking on this forum since I heard of exante and ordered the products. I just signed up today to keep a bit of a record of how things are going for me. It was really helpful to hear about other people's experience and there's no reason why I can't add to that myself! I started 10...

I'm also hoping to get into the 10s. I started out mid-11 stone 10 days ago and am working my way down towards to 10 stone something hopefully by the end of week two. It's hard to judge based on dramatic losses in week 1 and half-anticipating the same results the 2nd week despite knowing that...

I hope so...that's what I'm doing basically. You can be in ketosis on working solution (depending on what you eat). A lot of bodybuilders go on ketogenic diets, not exante, just normal food, so it should be possible for you as long as you stick with safe foods in moderation (e.g. for...
