Haven't logged on for a while due to moving house but I have thankfully stayed on track! I've lost 19ib so far and I'm really pleased :) Hope everyone else is doing well

Sorry you are feeling like this. I have had feelings like this before as my OH is the guy that all the girls wanted when we were younger and he didn't pay attention to me in *that* way at the time. We're together now, all these years later and my size hasn't changed; he still gets interest from...

Day Four Another great day :) I think this plan is helping my depression and I'm wondering if my carb sensitivity can affect my mood too. I know it's early days but now I think about it, I was consistently stable and upbeat when I did low carb before. I can't quite remember what I was like on...

Thank you Twinkle82! Everyone has been lovely so far. Congrats on your progress, you're doing great :)

They do come in handy! I had some today with my chilli pack as I didn't get to eat until 21:00 so I was pretty hungry by then. I view them as an extension of the packs if you like because I know they won't affect ketosis and they only have three ingredients (konjac fibre, water and calcium). I...

Day Three Today was a breeze! I'll be delighted if I can carry on like this for the majority of the time. I can feel that I am in ketosis also as I have that weird taste in my mouth and had SO much energy today. I'd forgotten how good it feels. Breakfast 09:30 - Vanilla shake warmed up with...

They are good to have on standby as something to bulk up the hot packs with, if you have a hungry day. I get mine from a korean shop but Holland&Barrett sell them now called zero noodle, miracle noodle or skinny pasta/rice/spaghetti. A bit dearer than in the oriental supermarkets but more...

If you're in very deep ketosis, some people suffer "Keto Rash" I'm one of them too and the only thing I can suggest is drinking more water. I think it's a kill off of all the excess yeast in your system since it's not being fed anymore. Yeast overgrowth in your system can be known as Candida but...

If you are 100% sure that you can get back on the total plan after having meals for a while (even one a day), then make sure you eat things that are very low carb so look up what is allowed on the atkins diet to familiarise yourself and don't vary from that. You should stay in ketosis that way...

Day Two: Breakfast: 09:30 vanilla shake blended with a cup of ice and 300ml of water + a shot of espresso. I loved this so will definitely do this again. The ice also meant it took longer for me to drink as it was so thick and that helped make me feel more satisfied. Lunch: 14:30 I had the...

Aww they look great. I was just thinking after I posted that I put "jar" but it might have to be a vase :P Today went well, I'm about to do a day 2 post :) Thanks for your support everyone x

Hi Darcy, Great advice, thank you :) I was thinking of doing the pebbles in a jar thing as I saw something similar where one is "pounds to loose" and another "pounds lost" so you can see the pounds lost mounting up and feel more accountable if you have to move any back to the other jar. I can...

Hi Lynne, Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I am doing very well today; just taking a short break from packing! I saw a post of yours somewhere where you suggested blending the shakes with ice and more water than usual and I did that today for breakfast (with espresso in it) and...

Hiya! I've just had a read through yours and have found it a good help! Well done on sticking to your sparkling water, I remember doing that when I was on LL and I'd be so proud of myself afterwards, I used to have a coffee and a water to spread out over the time it took everyone to eat lol. I...

Hi Susie, Thanks for your suggestions! I've just been going through and I feel much better having done so. I think I'll make time to do that every day to keep me going :) Today has been much better. You're doing so well! Keep up the good work :)

I started to wean myself into the Exante Total Solution late last week by having a pack for breakfast and lunch but a meal at home. Yesterday was the first day of me doing three packs and I found this ok. I successfully fought off any hunger pangs (was busy at work during the day, which helped)...
