Sorry I haven't been around to respond. Those offers might have been ending but now there's others ... eg. 2 boxes of 50 for £80 plus free gifts. I've ordered 50 items (soups and meals) for £25 - clearance of international stock and there's others too. Hope you got, or get, what you wanted :) x

Yes Tess, I get emails about different offers nearly every day! I got sucked into the trap of buying one on one day ... I think it was a bumper pack - it was £84 anyway, but whatever it was the offer was supposedly only on for an hour so I ordered one even though I didn't need it right then. Lo...

It can be harder sometimes than others can't it?! Good luck whatever you decide x

I don't have a set timescale. I don't really have a firm goal either. I'm just going to do the best I can in between the breaks I've got coming up and things like my daughter's wedding in May and my 60th Birthday ( :( ) in June. Those breaks and events WILL be enjoyed though so I expect quite a...

Gosh that seems so long ago now! It was a nice couple of days break thanks. Yes indeed we can do this!! I'm 1.7lbs down today so that's a start :)

Hi Honey, Sorry I don't have time to catch up with all of the pages of posts since I was last here. It looks as though you've had a little blip? Totally understandable and forgivable at this time of year ... and only 5lbs? I think that's brilliant! You'll soon get that off and more! Happy new...

Hi Honey .... Yes and no .... I've had a lot going on (haven't we all in the last couple of weeks!! ;) ) But my Mum's been poorly as well and she's 88 so needs taking care of anyway. I'm very much afraid that after my break away, Christmas and being a pure pig I have managed to regain 15 of the...

Another 1.4 off :) ... Adding in a bit of food from now as we're going away next weekend .... Not sure I can keep posting here then as this is TS .... X

Well done on your loss!!! And enjoy the markets ... Be good! ;) x

Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow :) x

Wow! Well done you! :) .... What a great start!! I've just realised its in your signature, sorry I didn't see that. Yes I'm still dropping slowly but surely, I almost don't want to break off for our weekend away ... I'm dying to get back into the 10s!!! Keep up the good work :) x

No not yet ... Another 2 weeks yet. Dropped another 0.8lb.... How are you doing on Cambridge? X

Another 0.2lb off. Hardly worth reporting I know but it makes a round 16lbs altogether in 4wks5days. About another 12 to go.

Ah I see ... Lucky you re mum paying for you ;) ... No way would I add any food ... That would be the beginning of the end for me .. I know how I am ... I did drop another 1.4 lbs this morning though so it's still going down :) .. 11.8lbs to go :) Good luck and lets know how you go on :) x

When I did the Cambridge years ago it was just as restricting as Exante ... Has it changed? I'm still plodding along, thanks for asking :) .... Stayed the same for several days but dropped 0.2 today ... Not much but in the right direction!! How is your weight going? x

Best of luck! Get through the first few days and the scales should keep you motivated. I will say that if, like me, you get weighed every day be prepared for fluctuations up as well as down. It can only be fluid if you're sticking to it so don't let them dishearten you! It's really best to weigh...

Best of luck!! :) x

Doing fine thank you Honey :). Another 1.2lbs off so 14.2lbs in 3 and a half weeks :D x

Stick it out for the week if you can ..... The reward on the scales will make it soooooo worth it, it will spur you on for another week!! Or are you getting weighed all the time like me? ;) x

Another pound off :) .... 13lbs in 22 days :D x

Ah so you've started!! Stick with it girl! You can do it!!!! :) :) :) x

Morning!! It's not raining up here on Merseyside ... In fact the sun is out at the moment :) .... It probably won't last long though. I would check your subscriber options on the Exante website if I were you.... I get emails all the time ... or your spam folder? I was tempted by slim & save's...

I wondered why you were awake lol! I thought you might be a night worker like me. You're right about it being quiet in the TS forum. I'd been more or less talking to myself for the last couple of weeks until your post earlier :). It's great if you don't have anyone else to cook for. My husband...

Hi there! Have you started yet? I'd say psyche yourself up to push through the hunger of the first few days. It DOES get easier, and drink plenty. Sparkling water can fill you up better than still but whatever - drink, drink, drink! Good Luck!

Thank you Sarah :)

We go away on 30th Nov. Theres no way in the world I could lose that amount in that time. When you've been a yo-yo-er like me for 40 years you have to do a VLCD to just get over 1lb a week off after the initial 2 weeks. Trust me I don't recommend it! Post menopause it becomes soooo much harder...

Hi Honey :) and thanks for your comment. I'm still on the 12lbs off in just about the 3 weeks. I get weighed every day and change my stats with every loss so I can't give you a week by week number. I have had small ups as well as the downs but I ignore them knowing they can only be a fluctuation...

Gosh ... I've had no notifications of replies here! Thanks for your comments. Re water, I have about 2lt but also have either some Dr Pepper or coke zero and drink decaf coffee. Had another carbonara tonight which I only added 125mls of water to instead of the 150. Left to soak for about 10mins...

Thank you. I'm sure you'll do great! How did your carbonara go? Soaking it longer was a bit better for me but even with less water it's still very runny, I'm beginning to think it's supposed to be like that. The taste is ok which I guess is the main thing but I prefer the consistency of the...

I know EXACTLY what you mean! It's the lament of the yo-yo-er isn't it? :/ I've yet to find any ham or ham like substance in the carbonara ... And as it says they're all suitable for vegetarians I don't think there can be any in there. Having said that, you're not missing anything - I'm giving...

Thanks very much Lara, I wasn't complaining! :) Gosh you've done ever so well haven't you? FAB losses, well done!! I'm finding my way with the meals, tweaking the liquid, soaking and micro time. Still haven't had a decent carbonara yet though ;). Keep up the good work! :) x

12 days down, 30 to go, 9.6lbs down, 18 to go. :):)

I have had the red berry, toffee nut & raisin, double choc (?) & choc Orange and they're all ok, my least favourite is the choc Orange but that's just my taste, there's nothing wrong with them. IMHO if you're going to be too fussy about how things taste you need to make your own diet out of...

Good luck ... Get yourselves sorted now or you'll be like me and still trying to get there when you're practically 60!!!

I don't mind the taste of any of them but the carbonara is very thin and runny even when I use less water, soak it longer and nuke it longer. It's like milky soup with spaghetti in it ... Lol!

Thank you so much :))

Thank you :)) I'm trying the carbonara again tonight, I hope I can get it a bit more palatable this time :)

8 days in, 8.4lbs down. Talking to myself here but still nice to record things.

At the end of my 5th day .... 6.6lbs down. Doing ok but still hungry :/. I got some of the meals this time, as I said and have now tried them all. 3 out of 4 ain't bad I suppose ... I had the carbonara tonight which was very disappointing - thin and runny AND it overboiled in the microwave :/...

Dropped 3.2lbs the first day :) .... hungry though. woke up with a horrible sick headache, don't know why. Can't have been dehydrated I drank sooo much. Not caffeine withdrawal because I always drink decaf - just one of those things I guess :rolleyes:

Well ok ... not as far up the yo-yo as I've been in the past but far enough to be really uncomfortable and NEED to do something about it! I've opted for Exante TS again as I need to take food out of the equation for a little while. I've been totally unable to get proper food under any sort of...

Well that didn't last long .... I haven't been well and have succumbed to comfort food. Didn't dare get on the scales! [:(] x

Thanks for your replies guys :) I think the main thing is having my head in the right place. Time of day, certain foods, none of that makes an iota of difference if the head is playing ball. TOTM? Many years since I had that to contend with - thank goodness. I HAVE managed to do something...

Thanks so much for the kind words ... WOW! Haven't you done well! To be honest I'm really struggling, haven't managed a run of more than about 3 100% days for ages :-( x

Another 0.4 off this week. Lousy losses but better than more gains! Hope everyone else is doing ok x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Beef is fine ... Turkey is lower fat obviously but beef is definitely allowed. Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I give them the same meat - usually either chicken, turkey or beef and where they have carbs and veg in their plates I'll have a few prawns, an egg or a bit of smoked mackerel, a bit of fat free cottage cheese and a couple of silverskin onions. Best of luck :) Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Well it's taken 3 weeks of struggling but I finally can report a small loss. Just a teensy weensy 0.4lb but it's a bit of an incentive. This takes me to 11st4.8lbs - still 7.8lbs over what I got down to before Christmas and 14.8 from target. Fingers crossed I'm properly back on track now! Only...

Thank you guys ... Still struggling but I've been a bit better today. We have 2 holidays booked, one on March and one in June - you'd think that would spur me on wouldn't you?! But if your head's not in the right place nothing will do it. I can only keep trying until it clicks back into place...

Thanks for that :) I may not have an actual list but I know exactly what I'm having for each meal and everything is prepared .. Eggs boiled etc etc... Just one of the hundreds of tricks I've employed over 40 yrs of yoyo- ing. If there's one thing I've learned its that you can try every trick and...

It IS happening every day though :( (see thread Lost/missing) .. Just got up after a night shift/day in bed, so hopeful of being 100% till I go back to bed later! It might not be a full day but its a start (hopefully) x

Inspirational, thank you :) and well done!!! Xx

LOST ..... ONE MOJO! Went missing about a week before Christmas - obviously feeling the pressure and couldn't cope but promised to return right afterwards. No sign of it yet. It's strange because each morning I think it's back but by later in the day it's evident that it was either an...

Caved again :( .... Back on track now and not getting weighed till Monday! ***sigh*** :( x

STS Today :) x

Another 1.2off this morning :) now 11:5.2.

Pleased to report a 3.4lb loss - onward and downwards :) x

SO!! 2 false starts + 1 good day = 3.4lbs lost :) ... Not too shabby a start. Enough to give me a bit of incentive anyway :D x

It's soul destroying how easy it is to put on but how long it takes to get it off again! And it gets longer and longer the older you get :(. It doesn't change the behaviour though unfortunately. I'm glad I'm not the only one though (sorry ;) ) x

I'm posting here what I've just posted in the 1st of January thread as it's the continuation of my journey ..... Today is my third first day ... Lol!! Started Friday - got though to the evening then caved. Again yesterday - went to a 'do' last night intending to have steak or salmon - I did...

I have a couple of eggs most days. Try stopping the counting, it's very liberating. You'll be even more excited when you see that you can lose weight without counting anything! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I understood what the % meant - in my opinion the fat content of these things is too high. Also things like sausages and burgers often have cereal or something like that in them to bulk them out and help bind them. I guess I'm just saying be careful that everything is as pure protein as...

Duplicate post .... ?!

Oh aye!! I didn't mean from the 1st either .... But soon after! Promise!! Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Just my personal opinion but I wouldn't be having any burgers, sausages (rarely are these pure protein), pork, bacon, ham (except for an occasional slice for a change), ground meat (while I'm not sure what you mean the fact that its 90%+ shows it's not just protein) or any broths unless you've...

Gained 1.4lbs today :(:(:(:( Bit disappointed coz I only had the one meal off plan and then only a main course followed by 2 teaspoons of my husbands apple pie. Each morning for breakfast while we were away I had a piece of whole meal toast with 2 poached eggs. I thought the toast would be a...

I didn't get on to report on Wednesday!! Lost another lb. Just the one but that's fine, it's all good and in the right direction. I negotiated 2 do's at the weekend with no damage. The first one was a carvery so I just had some turkey and the second one was a set meal. I refused the soup...

Thanks very much. I intend to not go mad but I'm not going to be miserable either. I'm just hoping I can find a happy medium. Thanks for your support :) x

Lost another 2.4lbs this week .... And without having to forego the voddies :) so that's 16.4lbs altogether and I'd like to lose another 8-9lbs to take me to around 10st4lbs - just below the TW that Dukan set for me at 10st 7lbs. Doubt if that'll happen now that Christmas 'do's' are starting to...

Just lost 0.2lb this week. Ah well that makes exactly a stone. I'm at 11:0.8 and hoping to get into the magic 10s next week :) ... May have to knock the vodka and cokes on the head to achieve that eh!! ;) x

Glad you're seeing some results .... It can be soul destroying when you're doing your best and nothing seems to be happening! Well done for sticking to it x
