Good luck today Charlie hope you get through ok. This awful rain is gloomy I feel much better when the sun is shining. I keep thinking Christmas is getting nearer and nearer so let's have a positive day xxx

That's my plan too after Christmas. I do all sorts lol work at Next part time, just got a job at Ernest Jones too for some extra Christmas cash and just started my own business helping people make and save money, its early days but going well. My partner is a PE teacher so don't fancy him keep...

I am still being half And half but down about 5 lbs not back to 13 yet which is where I was when I fell off the wagon last time. Got my OH weighing me daily this week till he goes away Friday so that should keep me on the straight and narrow. 2 stone is still do able just for Christmas if we...

It's ok not perfect but still losing and am slowly getting my head in the right place. Hope you feel better xx

Good luck you are used to the regime anyway so you have a head start :)

Managed to get this for my phone screen saver, had to get rid of the OH but no doubt he will be pleased if it keeps me on the straight and narrow xx

we will do it together just keep busyxx

Weekend approaching, what are we planning to keep temptation from the door. I volunteered for a six hour shift on Sunday, there is no possible way I can cheat then lol

Off for a shift at Next that's me safe from temptation for the next four hours

Aaah all clear now - hope it comes soon x

What's AAM please ?

The support has kept me going this week. That and I wrote a list of all the reasons I want to be slim we will get there and feel super for Christmas

Well you have something great to keep you on plan over the weekend I have promised myself a haircut when I get back to 13 stone which is where I got to when I was being good. I just keep panicking that if I don't do it I will end up with loads and loads to lose instead of a reasonably...

I am doing ok it's not easy though. Just take each day as it comes. I did something which is really helping me and that is I have written down all the reasons I want to lose the weight and have taken a pic of some lovely Christmas dresses. When I feel like cheating ( all the blinking evening to...

Thank you xx I would like to break the back of it before Christmas two stone would have me very happy and very nearly at my fighting weight

Hello everybody I am re starting as I have found it really hard to get in the swing of things but hopefully I am on the right track. Really need a diet buddy also did LL kept what I lost off but stopped before reaching target now want to push on and lose the last chunk

Just got in from work first soup of the day just due to timing. How's it going Charlie x

I have also discovered that the shakes are ok with hot water in this chilly weather. Quite like hot banana x

I haven't had a perfect weekend either Charlie so onwards from today. Black coffee at the ready and hoping to be back to 13 stone this time next week - quite a high goal but hey. Am even considering getting my partner to weigh me in every day to be even more accountable. Do you think that's a...

Good day yesterday for me but I battled all day I don't find it easy as some people seem to, I consider it a victory when I get to bed time and have been 100 %. Ok so far today x. Hope you are doing ok x

How did yesterday go Sarah ?

Sent that a bit fast for some reason it didn't update for ages. Sounds like a good plan x keep in touch I liked having a diet buddy

Does that mean we can't chat any more ? Of course I wish you all the luck in the world xxx

Ok Monday it is. If we get on track then a loss is definitely achievable. Hate the weekends the most but will keep trying to tell myself it will be worth it by Christmas xxxx have a great day today I an working at Next for four hours so I def cannot cheat then lol. I haven't ordered any meal...

Ok new day today. I was thinking we should choose the same weigh in day what day do you weigh in ?

Hey Charlie what's happened ? New day approaching fast xx

Every time I feel weak I am going to state on here I want to lose 2 stone before Christmas !!

I have in the past picked the ham out of the middle I will have a good day for both of us to inspire you on tomorrow xx

It's great to get nice comments so keep going and just think how great we will look at Chrimbo xxx

Ok Smidge that's told us lol we will crack on tomorrow x

New day tomorrow - no worries you will get straight back on track. Still plenty of time before Christmas xx

Hiya I am up for this ~Christmas challenge 28lbs to lose by 20 December

Good luck today, maybe picture the food with a little demon on it. I am just sipping on my black coffee and putting off my first shake till later as I find the evenings much harder. Sending positive thoughts your way xx

I was nearly 100% which doesn't count at all and have woken up mighty cross with myself. OMG what is wrong with me !!!!!! New day lets try again

I am also very guilty of the I'll start tomorrow school of thought. Problem is tomorrow never comes :)

Day 1 seems to be going slowly, popped on for some inspiration, found it for a little while longer - thanks guys xxx

Me too 2 stones by mid Dec we will drag each other there no more more

Sounds like a plan, it is very hard at times you are not wrong there. My partner tries to be supportive but then if I am struggling just says "just don't eat it" if only life were that simple the diet industry would go bust lol. Off to do some cleaning and a bottle of water I am drinking fizzy...

Keep logging on here as I REALLY need the support, voices in my head are loud and trying to get me to eat !! 12.22pm managed so far lets see how the next few hours go. If I were you Charlie I would just say you don't feel very well or be honest just say you are watching what you eat if you...

Me too am aiming for the 12 's

Also what tricks do you use to shut out Miss temptation in your head, I am going to try a black coffee and some loud music

Turned out last week was a disaster. Fresh week this week so good luck to everyone with the same battles xx. It's only ten am and the demons are chattering away in my head grrrrr get lost I want to be slim

Oops that sent a bit quick, Monday morning seems like a good time to knuckle down and start a journey .

I am back too after a crazy weekend on Blackpool. Feel like an elephant !! Monday morning

Thank you for taking the time to share with me. It really helps knowing you have slipped off the wagon and still managed to lose 30 lbs ! That's amazing and inspirational. I just want to lose two stone before Christmas and you have really given me great hope - thanks Lynne

Is this your second day back on track ?

Thank goodness someone else thinks week 1 is painful, I seem to read lots of threads on how surprisingly easy it is for everyone. I find it very un easy lol

Good luck today, you seem to be right on track. I am away this weekend not great timing but will try and be 100% till then. Have a great day xx

Good luck today, I just keep thinking when we wake up tomorrow it will be great to feel proud of our efforts today. I am with you in spirit lol, pity we cant just text when we are about to fall off the wagon and give each other a quick kick up the bum. Not working today, not sure if thats a...

Morning its the 1st October, just a couple of months till the Christmas party season starts and it seems like a good day to start Exante. I tried about four weeks ago lost about half a stone and then just got so cross with myself for having to put myself through this I gave up. Needless to say...

How did yesterday go Charlie ? I am really struggling to get going but its 8.24 a new day so here goes a fresh attempt

Hi guys just shakes and soups but will order some meal packs soon. I know what you mean about time passing and it will be December in the blink of an eye. Thanks for the support, will check in tonight x you guys seem to be right on track, is this your second Friday weigh in ?

Sounds like me. I am on day 1 for the second time and am worried as this time I know how hard it is. Giving up wine is hard for me and socialising is very hard work but I want to be two stone lighter by end if November so round 2 here we go !! Good luck keep me posted xx

I started again today too. Not sure how strong I feel but am going to take it an hour at a time. Not having a shake till later just coffee and water this morning. Want to be two stone lighter by end of November - possible yes ??

Hi guys I am starting again today too. Failed last time because I was weak and took my eye off the prize. Would love a two stone loss by end of Nov so do you mind if I join your little support network. My mind is tricking me into thinking I am just going to fail again but I really want to be...

Morning ladies, turned out I was ok last night was not too bad at all. Today however is another matter on my own all day so must keep fighting the little demon on my shoulder and not get bored. Have a great day xxx

Jay thank you !! You are so right it is embarrassment !! I am so cross with myself for putting some weight back on and having to go through this process. All I seem to see around me are skinny gorgeous women and I know that's ridiculous. I am partly angry at him cos he makes it sound so easy...

Has anyone sat through a dinner out yet with a glass of water. My partner has agreed to go on a big get together at the local pub tomorrow night and I am dreading it. One because of the temptation I don't think he has a clue how hard it is and two because if all the questions. Any advice ?

Just keep busy and drink water. I feel like I deserve medal for getting that ticker tape thingy up !! Not very technical lol This week I am going for it and got loads of water in, I find evenings worse so sometimes I go to bed early and just keep occupied. Weekend coming up and I find it hard...

Good luck, I have gone back to work too and finding it hard without the water ( I work in Next so cannot have a drink during the four hour shift ) but I really want to do it and my partner keeps telling me how important it is for me to lose weight for his benefit too so he is very supportive...

I fell off the wagon due to many days out in the summer holidays, my partner is a teacher and the lat week we were here there and everywhere always with food and drink involved. Really it only boils down to lack of willpower so here I go again. There are really only so many excuses and I...

Hi Vicky, good luck, I am back on day 1 today after a holiday x

4lbs x

Fingers crossed its Monday for me x

I didn't measure but am going to x

Thank you for the words of encouragement xx

I can't honestly say I am feeling on top of the world cos my losses are appalling and I am being so good. BUT it must happen 600 calories in weight loss MUST happen soon. Surely ????

Kerry - I miss wine :))

My start weight is13 stone, scales not moved since Monday. Feel really down about it, on TS and getting through my water. In ketosis according to ketostix and I really must be as this is day 11.

Sounds like a great idea !!

Hello everyone, day 10 tomorrow, still haven't experienced a rush of energy or complete non hunger but hanging in xx

I have found this lady Mary Shomon and done a bit of research, thank you for the info. It seems that lots of things could possibly affect the absorption of levothyroxine so will tweak a few things and see if it makes a difference.

No its fine, not everyone understands so its nice to hear from fellow sufferers, I am doing TS with the odd planned low carb day and would like to lose about 2 and a half stone before Christmas. You have done brilliantly

Thank you, I am doing fine just seems very slow weigh loss I have been stuck at the same point on the scales since Monday seriously considering joining a gym. Good luck too x

That is brilliant ! I am on week 2 day three and although its not killing me I am finding it tough. I have only lost 7lbs and have found it very slow with the weight loss compared to when I did LL about 6 years ago. Am sticking to it - agree about the weekend very tough. I am used to glasses...

Coconut will look that up thanks x

Thanks guys still going strong here. Going to join a gym on a months trial see how I feel xx it's six pounds in the right direction at least. Keep on Minnie it's going to be a slimmer winter this year and hopefully a little black dress for Chrimbo parties ;)

Well that's good news I am on 200 mcg so fairly similar thanks x

Hi Khill29 Survived the weekend JUST !! Day trip to Whitby and a night out in various bars. Six pound loss for the week which is nothing fantastic compared to most on here. Just doing T S with the starter pack this month might try some meals next month. Have two stone ten pounds to go but going...

I would like to join Christmas challenge too. First weekly weigh in this morning lost six pounds which isn't fantastic compared to most on here but it's a start. I have exactly two stone ten pounds to go. I am finding it an up and down journey the weekend was tough we had a day out in Whitby but...

I find it helps to keep checking in on the forum. Had my first weeks weigh in and no massive losses for me only six pounds. Feel a bit disappointed as so many people notch up huge losses but will keep going. I know my metabolism is rubbish so will try much more exercise this week. Keep going...

I am the same,no massive losses supposedly in ketosis as my partner keeps calling me " death breath " but only 5 lbs down

Thanks day seven today scales been stuck for three days :;(

Thanks x

Anyone ?

Got to day 5 no slips so far but not experienced a weekend yet ! Feel good in my head though x

Anyone on here doing this after a thyroidectomy ? Would be interested in any success stories please xx

No movement on scales but three perfect days under my belt. Must admit feeling hungry this morning but no turning back now - onwards and upwards as they say!! No that should be onwards and downwards ( on the scales :)))

Know what you mean I nearly put a cube of cheese in my mouth and just stopped myself in time. Day four just starting and I am just in ketosis I think. Good luck with your day - stay strong xx

Day three nearly over and feeling pleased with myself, no slips yet !! I love the shakes I have tried so far and the Thai Chicken, mushroom and tomato soup only vegetable left to sample. Not in ketosis yet but filling up on water. You lot on here really help with the motivation, thanks guys xxxxx

I didn't have anything yesterday till one pm ( a bar ) then soup at six and hot chocolate shake at nine. Seemed to work better for me xx

How is it going Minnie ? Day three today and although I am not in ketosis I am showing a three pound loss. Not strayed from TS at all but had to keep battling with myself xx

Good luck, I am just one day ahead of you - it helps soo much having all the encouragement on here ;)

Thanks for all the tips and well done. Day two for me got through yesterday relatively easily, laying in bed resisting the urge to go jump on the scales :)

Honk - first day !

Good luck to you too, bought my ketosis sticks in preparation x

Morning all thanks for the support, three stone exactly to lose and day one underway. I have no thyroid and take thyroxine so hope that won't hamper me. Banana shake was very nice with a little crushed ice :)

Hi everybody my name is Tracey and I am starting my Exante journey tomorrow. Read some of your inspirational and motivational posts and am looking forward to joining you all on the road to a slimmer healthier and happier me.:)
