Hi, I am a serial restarter, I finally feel in the zone this time so today is my day 1. I havent started a diary yet but I will be soon. I'm just shy of 16st so ideally I have about 5 - 6 stone to lose :oops: Today I need to make some small goals/targets and come up with a proper plan. Good...

Well done, You're doing great! I'm on my third attempt - Day 1 for me today, Good luck on your journey! :)

After another amazing one month binge I'm back! Not as heavy as before. Ive started a new thread for attempt number 3 lol. X Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hey all! Back again on third attempt. 1st attempt last summer, 12st 1 - 10st 7 :) 2nd attempt a few months back 12st 10 - 11st 7 ( I seem to go back to my old eating habits!!) So here I am again 3rd time, and weighing in at....12st 2! Had some pics taken of me yesterday at a day out, needless...

Good luck :)

Yes it was nicer than having them just normal. Wouldn't want it all the time though. I'm still not drinking enough water so I think I will have to purchase some drink mix from exante. Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Going to try the "chocolate pud" idea this afternoon! Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

In fact this past week I'm going to count as "my food week" I was supposed to have it then anyway...so now back to 100%...oh and it was a 2lbs loss for the 4th weekly weigh in. More to come off this week!! x :) Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ummm not great tbh, I've been having two packs of Exante then having a chicken breast with some salad or veg, really want to be 100% but struggling this week alot. Also same old story with me not drinking enough water, I'm sure its slowing me down. I've been managing to stay in Ketosis but cant...

Thanks, helps coming on here and venting to people who know what you're going through. Had my third pack today and felt much better. Although I did eat one slice of ham (the type you stick in sandwiches wafer thin.was extremely low kcal and carb) as I just needed to feel normal for a second. I...

Upset today. Want to give up and eat normally. There's no notable difference clothes are a tiny bit looser. But just finding it really hard. Wish I never let myself get this way in the first place. Sorry for the miserable post :( Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hey bunchomonkeys Managed to get myself back on 3 packs a day, 3lbs loss this week bringing total loss to 14lbs!

Oh yes I remember how good I felt :) weighed myself today instead of tomorrow and have lost another 3lbs this week, feels slower this time round but am still pleased that its coming off. That's about a stone loss for me in 3 weeks, just need to keep on going! Good luck to you

Nice to see you back, good luck honey and keep us posted :)

Will have to try harder, they do taste nice but sometimes I forget to have the lunch one cuz either I'm busy or just don't fancy it. I might make a lunch shake in the morning ready to have at lunch Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Can't stand the red berry or dble chocolate bar. Love the chocolate and orange one. Lost 3lbs on my second weigh in despite not.drinking enough water. This week though have been managing 2ltrs a day will see if it makes a difference on Friday for my 3rd weekly weigh in. Feeling fed up, I...

Thank you Miss Mia, have ordered some more exante products going to try the red berry bar :) Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thank you! It's been such a long hard week but so happy that I'm seeing the rewards :) I'm so motivated to keep on going now! Sent from my C6903 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Just did my first weekly weigh in, and Ive lost 8lbs! :D

Hi Patsy, I had a dream last night about eating Kitkats! Woke up thinking "oh no I bet I'm out of.ketosis now!" then I realised it was just a dream :) Well done on your weight loss! And I bet it was lovely getting comments :) you're right about "acting slimmer" I am the same. I walk around like...

I can't believe how not hungry I am! Day 6 now. I almost forgot to have my 2nd meal :eek: still not drinking enough water... will it effect the weigh in on Friday?

Hey Patsy, Don't get mad! hate to sound patronising but im going to anyway, but a loss is still a loss. Now, when i went to the gym (many ions ago) I was told never to trust gym scales, was told by my induction trainer to invest in some digital ones for home ( theyre not too expensive if you...

Oooh good luck for ketosis..it sounds like you are :)

Try not to worry hun, took me a few hiccups before I got on track :)

Stay strong you can do it! I usually distract myself with a good book, listen to some music, have a bath (never feel like eating after a hot soak) look at some pics of myself and remember why I'm doing it....but sometimes if I'm really peeved then a good moan/cry and take myself off to bed for...

I never thought about splitting the pouch's before, defo something I would consider doing. Silly question (I'm not much of a cook tbh!) but how do you make the tomato soup pack into crisps? I bought some but wasn't keen on it, like the idea of turning them into crisps though! :p Tbh eating...

Well done! I had my first meal at half 9 this morning and 2nd at 1, and will have my third around six. Walked the kids to school and felt very weak, I'm Defo in ketosis and have more energy at home but that walk was awful got to do it again in a couple of hours..:eek:

Lol! Definitely....speaking of chewing gum I take it sugar free is a no no?

Oh and good luck with your diet at work Patsy! :)

In the past I weighed on Day 7, which would make this Thursday my (first) weigh in day, but want to wait til Friday and make my weekly weigh-ins on a Friday morning (so that would be day 1, week2) will probably be tempted to weigh myself on Thursday though!

That exactly how I feel! I wasn't hungry yesterday but I wanted the food and it kinda felt like I was hungry for it even though I wasnt (If that makes sense) These forums have helped me alot the last few days, it does help knowing that you're not alone! I shall think about starting my own...

Thankyou! I hit ketosis sometime yesterday as I checked last night (and this morning) hopefully with the ketosis and my 1hr+ walk 5 days a week (school runs! 20 min there and 20min back twice a day!!) the weight should fall off nicely :)

Tested this evening and I am! :)

Got some Ketostix was gonna hold off til tomorrow (Day 4) but will do it this evening and post. Oh I hope I am!

Good! I didnt touch the cake :)! It was very very difficult though, I had to deal with a Sunday Roast followed by cake :eek: I could easily of cried! But very pleased with myself for not touching it! I wouldve felt pretty awful right now had I given in and ate some,I was dreading this day but...

Oh my gosh. Sitting here while birthday cake is being given out. Hiding behind my phone and coming on the forums in an attempt to be strong...keep thinking just one teeny weeny bite..

Hey Mummyboo85 How you finding it today? I'm on day 3, still getting headaches but not as severe as they have been. Hopefully I will be in Ketosis by tomorrow! Think my headaches are down to the fact that im not drinking anywhere near 2-3ltrs :( such a struggle!

From past experience, I just didn't feel hungry any more (although it didnt stop me missing the taste of food!) had some more energy, no more headaches. Just better in myself I guess, I also had the ketostix to just to make sure, I've heard they dont work for some people but mine have always...

Hey Cypher, Day 9, well done you! How are you feeling now? I'm sure you have tried distracting yourself etc. I did the exante diet last summer and am doing it again now (After putting my weight back on!) I remember having days when I wasnt really hungry but just wanted food, real honest to god...

Aww, Took me awhile to get used to Black coffee, and its not the same as a coffee with a drop of milk in, but still I gotta take what I can get! :)

I went and hid in my bedroom with a book while he scoffed. The smell went all around the house though, and stayed well after he had finished...sent my cravings/hunger pangs into overdrive, in the end I had an early night feeling very low, and moody :cry: However today I am feeling much better...

Thanks Allie, Will defo stick to having my morning coffee :)

Hi guys and gals, Sitting here this morning, waiting for my little monsters to wake up with a steaming mug of Black coffee and wondering is it ok to have sweetners in it?? I put two sweetex in my coffee and I have a maximum of two mugs a day, I am only on day 2 so not in Ketosis yet. Coffee is...

Hey Patsy, starting to get niggly hunger pangs now, making myself wait til 6-7, but all in all today has been a good day...so far! Think I will have a shake for my "dinner" or maybe some more porridge :D is it ok to have more than one packet of porridge a day?? I just love the stuff and if it...

Hi Mummyboo85 I LOVE the porridge, I add some cinnamon to it and its yum! I like most of the shakes except the Vanilla it makes me feel abit sick, although I've heard that you can add coffee to them. I like all the bars, although the Dble choc is abit meh, and I'm not keen on the savoury meals...

Wowza! Well done Manda Panda, If I can get just half of your success at the first weigh in I will be one happy lady! Keep up the good work! :)

Hi Patsy, Ive mixed it up with shakes porridge and bars, have to say I do love the porridge could happily have it as all my three meals :D Been baking biscuits with the kids today, and you know what? It was easy! Loved the smell of them and it didnt set my hunger pains off at all...although is...

Lost a lb in just 2 days despite my binge yesterday! Given me the determination to stick to this now :-) So today is Day 1 (again). good luck all!

Hi there :) I WAS on day 2 until I fell of the wagon spectacularly about an hour ago :eek: I refuse to give up though going to try again tomorrow, I know I can do it I've done it before, guess I'm lacking motivation maybe? When I lost the three stone last year my o/h was on tour with the army so...

That would be brilliant thanks :)

This feels alot harder second time round :(

Yeah toast yum! I never missed chocolate last time just wholesome hearty food :)

Thanks! I can get through the hunger pains, what I find really difficult is that I miss tasting different foods! That was really hard last time, but then, it did get easier after a while, usually just smelling the kids o/h dinner was enough of a fix! :D

Starting my Exante TS diet again! Love this diet it really works, Lost nearly 3 stone on it last summer :) dropping down to a nice 10 stone 7lbs! However due to life circumstances and bits of bother, I slowly started going back to my old eating habits, ignoring the weight, ignoring the clothes...
