Cheers for the support guys :) I've been sleeping loads since I started the meds and just realised its Sunday. Missed my weigh in yesterday oops. I shall do that tomorrow, if I remember lol. I'm not too confident it will be a loss but let's hope I'm not up by more than I lost last week...

Cheers Trying Hard :) I'm definitely going to watch what I eat and not use the meds as excuse. Otherwise I will feel mega worse as you said. I find it really hard to talk about my emotions, even positive ones. I had to write down what I wanted to say to the doc today so he could read it...

Wow, I'm in awe of your friend. I could not carry on, I know I'd crumble if anything happened my BF. Although in my current state I think anything would make me crumble lol. It is really lovely to know there are super strong people out there. She definitely deserves an amazing day. My...

Wouldn't it be funny if it were the same wedding Trying Hard lol. How much do you hope to lose? Ideally I wanna lose at least two to three stone but at the rate I'm going I'll have gained that much! We'll done on the 100% Lynne, you're doing great to be in ketosis already. Fingers crossed for...

Hope you're right Trying Hard. I'll feel more confident closer to the time lol Been a good day thanks Lynne, had a walk and cleaned a bit so got some exercise in which is always good. How's the restart going for you?

Here's hoping :D Would be great to be down to a twelve by then. Just getting excited now thinking about it. Eek. I want to get a fabulous dress and not just one that fits like I used to have to get. Really looking forward to dress shopping.

Cheers everyone :) I'm happy out with the progress so far, hopefully means it'll be a breeze losing the rest when I'm fully motivated lol No ideas yet Lynne, gonna be a dress but I'm going to wait till the end of February march time to start looking. When I've hopefully dropped another dress...

Week one of my restart complete :D Although I don't really count it as a restart just slowly weaning myself off Christmas eating lol. When I restart TS that will be my real reboot. Anywho enough waffling, drum roll please ...... This week I lost 3.4lbs :D which is awesome because I was a bit...

Cheers everyone for the support :). This week has been hard as there's still Xmas bikkies and chocolate about. I have been watching what I'm eating but it's definitely been a struggle. Roll on payday so I can go TS again. Just so much easier. Less chance of cheating because well everything is...

New year and a new diary :-) My dieting with exante started back in July '13. I went from 17 ish stone to 14. Which I was delighted with but it all went a bit tits up with the lead up to Xmas and well the eating festival itself. So I wasn't really that shocked when I found I had gone up by...

I have downloaded the app, I was using it for those few days before it all went pete thong lol. But I'm gonna start using it again in the morning. It is a handy app just have to remember to use it haha

I'm not doing too good at the moment to be honest. I was getting back on track, lost about 4lbs in four days then disaster happened. I've gotten a bloody ear infection which caused sever vertigo. Not fun at all, but I've just been stuffing my face here on the couch since Thursday. I expect...

Cheers Lynne :-)

Hopefully it'll start getting easier and less restarts soon. Not sure I can survive winter lol

Hello Sorry I've been AWOL for a bit. Had a major bump in the road, but hopefully I'm back on track mentally. My motivation deserted me for a while there, I blame the cold lol. But fingers crossed I've found it again. How are you getting on?

Well it's all gone a bit tits up for me. I didn't weigh in at the weekend and not sure if I will tomorrow. I think a fresh start is needed. I've been quite down and miserable the past few weeks and it all just got too much. I couldn't face anything or anyone, and of course that meant my...

Cheers lani :-) Best of luck to you too. We'll make it

Well I was looking at some pictures I took at the start of my diet and some recent ones I've taken, and I'm glad to say I'm really pleased with the results so far. Looking at me at 17 stone is really shocking, I can't believe I looked that bad before and was living happily in the land of...

Well done lady :-)

Exactly. In an ideal world I'd have not gained at all but I did so now I must pay with having to lose it, so I'm definitely glad it was 2.8lbs he he. I've challenged myself to lose a stone by the end of November so fingers crossed that'll put in back on track. Feeling positive today :-)...

Wow Lynne you've done amazing. :-) Cheers Giggles. Had an awesome birthday and a weeks holidays. And I have to say I was naughty. Ate out a lot and there was plenty of wine involved oops. But I'm not too worried because I know it was only for the week and now I'm back into full swing. Need to...

As long as the scales head in the right direction it's all groovey :-)

Cheers lady :-) My challenge for myself this month is just not to gain lol any losses are a bonus. I don't really see the point of setting a target when I know myself I was won't reach it. Just makes me backtrack. But everyone is motivated differently

Weigh loss at a go slow because of my birthday but hoping after my holiday next week to get back into the swing of things again. 0.4lbs down this week Lynne 12st 7lb - gain 4lb - loss so far 5lb- target loss 42lb - still to lose 37lb Amanda 14st 6lb - loss 2lb - loss so far 4lb target loss...

Well after my birthday weekend I'm delighted to have lost something this week, OK it's only 0.4 lbs but it's not a gain which I was expecting. On holidays next week so let's hope I can say the same after that lol Also thinking about changing my weigh in to a Saturday for easiness really. Often...

Thanks bee I decided not to join the challenge this month because of my birthday and a holiday so I'm just trying not to go up this month lol losses are a bonus for October. But I'll be extra focused for November so I'll be doing that one I hope :-) Also I didn't have a chance to get excited...

Morning Realised I haven't updated my progress in a while, I've had an up and a down week since I last updated. Up by 1.4lbs then down by 3 lbs. Disappointed with the up but at least it's buggered off now lol. Congrats on the losses guys :-) Amanda 14st 6lb - loss 2lb - loss so far 4lb target...

I wasn't 100% strict at the weekend but I did manage to lose 3 lbs. So at least I'm back in the right direction :-) Although my birthday's this weekend so fingers crossed I can restrain myself from going too mad. Speaking of that I didn't quite complete my birthday challenge, 2 lbs away from...

Thanks guys :-) I'm really looking forward to next weeks weigh in. Here's hoping it's a good loss

Bahaha me not weight in today. Geeze I really was trying to fool myself yesterday. My curiosity always wins out. And as expected I've put on this week. Hate myself for that OK so I was up by 1.4lbs, could have been a lot worse but that doesn't stop me scolding myself. Extra work outs this week...

Cheers Lynne :-) I love it, just hope I start to see some results soon. Although after the awful weekend I've had this week will be twice as much work. Giggles I did resist the wine but not the vodka :-( Awful awful results. Since my weekend was woeful I've decided not to weight in this week...

Thank f@#k it's the weekend. I could murder a bottle of wine right now! But I'll be strong, resent it but be strong however tomorrow night I can't make any promises he he. This diet would be so much easier if I didn't get so stressed sometimes lol Enjoy your weekend guys and dolls :-)

Thank you :-)

Thanks zoey's mommy :-)

Agreed. I've given many diets a try but never made it past the first couple of weeks lol, but this time I've got my motivation hat on.

Wow that's so good. Congrats. My friend does SW and loves it. I'd just be poop for going to weekly meetings and that. At the moment this form is my motivational team lol

Thanks FFB, I just hope I make it. :-). And Best of luck to you. Well the results are in and yet another 2.8 lbs lost this week. Delighted because I'm still feeling all bloaty but I think that's because my fluid intake has dropped naughty me, back to guzzling down the water me thinks.

Are you not doing exante? I assumed you were, either that or I've missed the joke lol. It's a meal replacement vlcd. But I'm eating more healthy foods now than the exante packs, missed food too much haha. But it's working :-)

Congrats on your losses bee and sparkley. Have an awesome holiday :-)

Home

Cheers cookie, I just hope I stay motivated to use it. If I see the results quickly I'll surely be pushed to stick with it. :-)

Yeah *epic happy dance* rower arrived. :-D Already assembled it and did my first work out on it, fingers crossed I start toning up in no time :-)

Rower should hopefully arrive today. Eep. I'm excited. Well the way today has gone so far I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't arrive lol. Woke up late this morning so didn't have time for my weigh in oops. Although I think that was a good think because I was all bloaty and meh. So tomorrow...

Yea giggle I'm hoping that my motivation for it sticks with me and I haven't just bought an expensive clothes horse lol And cookie I agree it better arrive right now!! Gosh I can be quite impatient at times hehe

Wohoo just ordered myself a rowing machine. Now I shall wait like a child at Christmas hehe.Gotta love presents for me :-) Have an awesome weekend folks

I hope you're right :-) It's been far too long since I was in the 13's it'll be strange when I get there hehe. Thanks for the support. I see you're halve way there. Good luckskies

Days going good so far, thanks giggles. Need to make myself a big mug of green tea and relax for a bit after work. Then everything will be perfect he he. Hope you're doing well today :-)

Cheers princess :-)

Wohoo finally made it to the 14's, now let's hope I make it to the 13's sharpish! Surely there should be a montage starting about now.....

Best of luck and hope you're feeling better :-)

Cheers :-) I'm sold, was looking some up last night and I think I'll be getting one at the weekend. Plus the fact my bf would use it too makes it the better option. Can't wait to start working out on it. Thanks so much for the link definitely sealed the deal.

Thanks giggles and congrats on the loss, you're on a roll :-)

Haha I'm converted Mmmmmmm chicken *drools*

Hey beebee Thanks so much :-). I'm well chuffed. I always set myself mini targets, just makes it so much easier when the goal isn't months away lol. Plus it's such a boost when targets are achieved. Best of luck with your weigh in

Mmmm you'll have me dreaming about them through work now lol. I have a feeling they will be my vice during this diet hehe

First weigh in for this challenge and 2.8lbs down. If I lose this much every week I should reach my Xmas goal :-) fingers crossed Lynne 12st 10lb - loss 2 lb - loss so far 4lb- target loss 28lb - still to lose 24lb Amanda 14st 10lb - loss 0lb - loss so far 0lb - target loss 42lb Stylishkid ...

Hi giggles I had a fab lazy weekend :-) Although I did do a major bad thing... Stuffed my face with pink n whites oops. I blame my totm, major munchies. But at least it didn't effect my weigh in today too much. 2.8 lbs lighter woop woop. Which is awesome because I only have to lose 7.8lbs in...

Cheers Rose I never thought of a rowing machine. I shall have a look at some :-)

I second that :-D Roll on Xmas!!!

I've just had a nose at your diary and for parts I though get out of my head haha. I definitely had portions that were too big and more junk than I care to admit. It really is a boost reaching weights I've not been at for years. Congrats on reaching the 15's :-) and best of luck getting to...

As clichéd as it sounds just take one stone at a time. At the start of my diet I was thinking the same, "I've so much to lose I'll never reach my goal". I really find setting mini goals helpful. My mini goals are usually getting from one stone range to another, like from 15's to 14's at the...

Awh I was really hoping someone could have answered this one for me. Oh well.

Aliens

Best of luck :-) You'll do great. Best thing I've learnt is when you cave just hop straight back on the diet. I've had plenty of slips but just stick with it and you'll do great :-) Sending you positive vibes

Thanks cookie and biffa to babe :-) Here's hoping I get there just as quick. Best of luck to you on Monday biffa to babe. You'll do great.

Morning ladies :-) I was just thinking I needed to set a goal for myself for Christmas so this is perfect. I'm aiming for two and a half stone to lose so I can be in the 12's for the festivities. Getting excited at the prospect of being in the 12's by Xmas. Bring it on! Day 1: Lynne 13st...

Congrats :-)

Best of luck guys :-)

Thanks giggles :-) I know! This diet is awesome, I really can't believe in eight weeks I've gone from the 17's to the 14's. It's amazing :-). Now I just need to get to the 12's by Xmas hehe. Fingers crossed and all that jazz.

Thanks cookie :-) So far so good this week but my totm is making it a struggle lol. But on the bright side after yet another cheeky weigh in today I'm in the 14's woop woop B-) hopefully I won't be back in the 15's ever again! Hope all's going well for you too.

Jury

Thank you :) So happy. If I don't make it past the 15st mark this week it's all a joke haha Somehow I think I'll do it, 0.5lbs is possible lol Have an awesome day

Sending you all some positive vibes, you can do it. I've had something on every weekend lately too, I had less of a social life when I wasn't on a diet haha. Best of luck all Well done on your loss giggles :)

I feel your pain, I hate totm. I just want to eat everything in sight even when I'm not hungry. I usually fill myself to the brim with green tea, and die a little inside lol. But it's better than stuffing my face. If I can't take it anymore I have some tuna or egg. Something that won't knock...

Cheers cookie :-) I'm really chuffed with myself today, mostly because I'm so close to my mini goal lol. And I'm glad I get approval for nandos :-D shall be epic. Their salads do sound nummy. It's really weird getting excited about salads now but in a good way lol

I don't see the harm in having more than one if u wish. You might not see the same results as you would if you were following the diet 100% to the letter but I would be very surprised if you didn't lose anything because you had a bar instead of a shake or something. Good luck :-)

Just a quick question to anyone here who uses a cross trainer, I've been toying with the idea of investing in one but before I do I was wondering what area's have you seen the toning as a result of using it. I know it mostly tones the leg and bum area but with the arm movements will it tone my...

I've also just realised I'm half way through my birthday challenge, four more weight ins to shed 10.6 lbs, fingers crossed my motivation kicks it's self back into gear. Looking for a big loss this week. So happy I'm so close to the 14's. I'm like a child at Xmas hehe

I swear I should be blonde sometimes, I miscalculated my loss, luckily for the better. Only an extra 0.6 lbs but it all adds up and gets me a hell of a lot closer to the 14's woop Also good luck manda :-) Giggles - 7lbs to lose, 1lb lost, 6lbs to go. Carrie1980 - 10lbs to lose 2.1/4lbs lost...

Also in other news my bf suggested we go out some where for my birthday next month, like nandos or something. I've never been before, I know shocker right lol. I decided to have a peek at their menu online and was delighted to see they have the calorie / nutritional break down. I used to scoff...

So far September has been a struggle, but I'm delighted even with a major blip this week my scales was kind, 2.2lbs lighter :-) Good luck all Giggles - 7lbs to lose, 1lb lost, 6lbs to go. Carrie1980 - 10lbs to lose 2.1/4lbs lost 7.3/4lbs to go Stylishkid - 14lbs to lose, -4.8lbs lost, 9.2lbs...

Agree 100% :-)

Looks like my damage control paid off :-) Down 2.8lbs this week, delighted! Not what I was aiming for last week but still extremely better than a gain. The 14's are so close now I can practically smell them. Also that's two stone I never want to get back lol

Cheers cookie, I'm just afraid it'll be a slippery slope. Here's to next week :-)

Sending you positive vibes :-) Best of luck.

I love your treat fund idea, I might have to steal this one. Best of luck with your loss and hope you feel better :-)

Cheers giggles I really need a good kick up the bum lol Just need to remember I have a long way to go before I can get lazy with my diet. It'll be pure luck if I make it to the 14.s this week lol. All my hope is for next week now. Best of luck lovehate :)

I went shopping yesterday too, it was so nice to fit into things I couldn't before. I'm really looking forward to not having to look for the plus size section anymore lol. I find it funny that after such a short time I still have the same problem, nothing in my wardrobe fits. Except this time...

Besides being extra motivated at the start of this week, it's gone completely tits up. I've been stressed and letting my diet slide. So mad at myself now, had a cheeky weigh in this morning to assess the damage and for the first time since I started this diet I've gained :O hopefully this will...

Wohoo for positive vibes :-)

Thanks giggles, hopefully if I do 100% this week with no giving in to temptations I should reach my goal. Just gotta keep reminding myself how good it'll be to finally reach the 14's. Haven't seen them since I was a teen lol

First weigh in of the month and 2.6lbs lighter, could have been better but I was naughty oops. 14lbs to lose, -2.6lbs lost, 11.4lbs to go

First weigh in for September and 2.6lbs down. Really going to push to lose 4lbs this week so I can get into the 14's and be free of 2stone. Fingers crossed :-) Giggles... 7lbs to lose, 0lbs lost, 7lbs to go. Carrie1980 10lbs to lose 0lbs lost 10lbs to go Stylishkid 14lbs to lose, -2.6lbs...

Cheers giggles :-) My weight loss is definitely sporadic but at least always in the right direction. You're right though I need to look at the overall more :-) Good luck to you this morning too. My scales were kind considering all my naughtyness. Down 2.6 lbs Woop wool. Which makes my main...

Bring it on :-) Giggles... 7lbs to lose, 0lbs lost, 7lbs to go. Carrie1980 10lbs to lose 0lbs lost 10lbs to go Stylishkid 14lbs to lose, 0lbs lost, 14lbs to go

Well the results are in and less than a lb down, so I can scold myself for being naughty and work hard for the rest of the week to make up for it. No drinkes for me at ze BBQ so, but on the bright side I have the whole maintaining thing down haha, just a pity I'm not at my goal. Roll on...

So far this week has been a bit dodgy, oops. I'm hoping not to have done much damage but I've had some nibbles on things I shouldn't have. Definitely going to weigh and shame myself in the morning. I was planning on breaking a little on Saturday when I have a BBQ but if I've put anything on in...

Count me in :-) Hoping to shed 14lbs. Good luck everyone

Cheers :-) Hopefully it will stay at this rate of loss, I'll be slim in no time haha. Have fun

Congrats hulllou a loss is still a loss. It really is a motivator when I look at my total loss too. Have an awesome holiday :-)

Has anyone doing the diet spontaneously combusted? I'm pretty sure any spontaneous combustion that occurs makes the news in some shape or form. I'm not worried, there's probably more chance of being run over by a bus.

Wohoo a whopping 5lbs down this week :-) that means only 0.2 to lose over the next few days, feeling pretty confident I'll complete this challenge here Congrats mazzyboo :-) Kerry (Buttons) 11lbs to lose, 2lb lost, 9lb to go Carrie1980 14lbs to lose, 3.1/4lbs lost, 10.3/4lbs to go Plymscuba...

I adore my scales this morning :-D I'm down 5lbs! So happy after last weeks non movement. Epic happy dance :-)

Agreed wannbeslim :-) really helps to know I'm not alone..

When I get really tempted I will have tuna and egg or some other ketosis friendly snack, I find that works better for me than just a blanket ban on food. But most of the time I do TS.

Check out the helpful list of ketogenic foods in the recipes section. This list is my bible lol, jalapeño's are in the minimal section, so check the carb content :-)

It's really interesting to read how everyone else had their eureka moment. I was also in denial for a long time, I've just been getting bigger and bigger over the years but somehow convincing myself I didn't look so big. I'd avoid photo's like the plague and the ones I put on fb were carefully...

Wow Carrie I'm uber jealous. I know everyone's said it already but you look like a different person. Definitely motivating seeing your pics. Well done lady :-)

Cheers beckie :-) You're doing great too. Yeah the shakes are nasty in my opinion but I love the bars, they're so filling and kick my craving for sweet things. We're just lucky exante have variety hehe

I usually fill myself up with water and green tea and threaten to punch my bf if he even thinks of a take out around me lol Sometimes though I do find myself counting down to bed time but it's more me thinking how much happier I'll be if I make it to then without cheating myself.

Mini challenge time. I've exactly seven more weigh in's until my birthday so my challenge to myself is to lose 21lbs in seven weeks. That's an average of 3lbs a week, should be achievable. Fingers crossed anyhow :-) Let the games begin!

You're right I would have been way more upset if it had been a gain. Here's to making up for it this week :-) And well done for your loss

Not a happy bunny. Why must I attend weddings and bbqs! Too many temptations. But at least I still made a loss if you could call it that 0.2lbs lol Kerry (Buttons) 11lbs to lose, 2lb lost, 9lb to go Carrie1980 14lbs to lose, 3.1/4lbs lost, 10.3/4lbs to go Plymscuba 6lb to lose, 2lbs lost, 4lb...

Looks like I was right to dread Saturday and to make matters worse I was at a BBQ last night. I did avoid the carbs but still ate and drank a bit too much grr. So I think anything I lost at the start of the week has been put back on oops. Overall I did make a loss a measly 0.2lbs lol but still a...

Today is the day i've been semi dreading lol My friends getting married so I'm allowing myself a break for today but I'm so afraid I'll pile on lost pounds :-\ But at least I know I'll be watching what I eat not just stuffing myself like I used to haha. Plus it's my TOTM so not looking forward...

I was really struggling today again, so I made a deal with myself I had some tuna and an egg, food that I love but will keep me in ketosis. It was a win/win for me. It made me think though I might do x amount of days TS and x amount WS. Not fully decided but definitely when I feel like I...

Congrats on your previous loss and of course best of luck with your goal :-)

Tonight has been a challenge that's for sure. We have a new puppy and he kept me awake for most of last night, which obviously means I was wrecked today. And it's the first night I'm spending in this house on my own. I want comfort food! I want it NOW!! I know there's one packet of crisps in...

Had a cheeky weigh in this morning, offically lost a stone. *epic happy dance* Achievement One Unlocked: First Stone Lost :)

Best of luck :-) I'm going to sound like a hallmark card now but the best thing is to take one day at a time and keep looking forward not back. The only thing that stops me having a binge is knowing how mad I'll be at myself on weigh in day haha. Have an awesome day

Cheers guys :) Definitely a motivator to see the pounds drop. I'm actually really excited about getting back into the 15s, how sad am I lol. Then dropping a dress size shall be the next thing I look forward to hehe :bliss:

Well that's week two down, and 4lbs shed. Was a bit disappointed I didn't lose another 2lb to make it into the 15's but at least its heading in the right direction and I should be in the 15s next week lol Still though almost a stone lost in two weeks I shouldn't be complaining really lol

Thanks roly :-) Hopefully every weigh in will be as positive he he. I do find them easier to drink the colder they are too.

Cheers for the advice guys, the extra water does help but they're still not top of my list when I pick what to eat haha. Thankfully there's loads more to choose from :) So far week two is definitely a lot easier. And I've realised I've had zero cravings,this diet is great. I really don't...

Cheers guys I'll test another shake out tomorrow :-)

Thanks Hoping, it really is motivating, just need to start some exercises so I lose more :-D I've tried the vanilla with coffee, wasn't overly excited by it but wasn't as sickly. I'm gonna try more water next time have a shake and see what happens. Just glad I like everything else lol

Wohoo weigh in day has been good to me 8.6lbs gone, now bring on week 2 of TS. Definitely easier when you see the scales get lower. Next goal is to get into the 15 stone range. Wish me luck :cross:

Hello roly I did almost cave but when I looked at the cold BBQ meats I thought if I'm going to cave at least have a freshly cooked burger, so I was content with my Thai chicken soup. I've been making them with water, taste really sweet and sickly to me. Luckily so far everything else has been...

Well today was bbq day and day five of my total solutions diet, and boy was it hard. Dishing up food for people and serving them drinks was actually easier than I thought, it's now that everyone has left and I know there's some leftovers I'm struggling. I keep thinking but one bit won't hurt...

Hello folks I've been browsing around this forum and am really excited to have found some where that I can speak to people in the same position as me. And everyone being so positive and inspirational will hopefully be a great boost to me :) Well today is day three and the main problem I'm...

They're all new to me haha but so far the shepherds pie is my favourite. Very nummy, I think the spag bol is missing a little something but is still really nice for what it is. So far the cabonara is my least favourite. Looking forward to trying the chilli tomorrow mmm. I'd definitely...

Hello It's day 3 for me, and day 1 on this forum so I thought I too would say hello everybody :wavey: I also read the website and decided to go for it because I really need to do something. I've never been 17st before and it scared me. Now is the time to change my mindset on food before I...
