I have had a good day Darcy thank you. Have you had a good weekend?

Sorry TH I missed this. My Son has a camping stove somewhere but he was away and no idea where it was. I am 5ft 5in I would love to get to 8st13lbs but if I can get to 9st7 then I will see how I feel, then will decide. I will be delighted just to get in the 9's to be honest! Hope you had a...

Just catching up on your diary Twinkle, you have been a huge inspiration to me from the beginning. Sending hugs your way :hug99: Well done on your day, keep up the great work! You are doing fabulously well xxx

Thank you everyone! Sorry i'm not very active at the moment but just getting back to 'normality' whatever that is after the power cuts and horrific wind. The river has burst its banks badly so hoping it doesn't creep up to the house! I am excited about this weeks weigh in and started doing sit...

Thank you Susie, it has been challenging for sure! I am in Cheshire, rural it hit us hard but there are so many other people far worse off, its been dismal, I am really appreciating my hot peppermint tea today! I hope you are having a great day xx

Thank you Darcy, I have to say it's been a challenging week but looking forward to my WI next week :) I hope you are having a great day and the weather is better for you.

Well done Darcy, you are doing great! I am an all or nothing person too, and can't cut down on anything it just doesn't work for me either. You are doing so well on your bike too! Wishing you a lovely evening :)

Well done Chris :)

I did actually realise, I have now lost a stone altogether since January 1st so pretty chuffed with that :)

So...this was our third day without power. Sorry I haven't updated, but I haven't bailed out. We have had no home phone, no power, nothing! We live rurally and after I met my friend, came home and the wind was hideous, couldn't get down the lane as trees had fallen across it and had to get the...

Thank you TH. Yes I am seeing him next week. Just want to go down the friends route for now and see where it leads. I have been independent for so long and just taking it slowly for now. xx So...I did my official weigh in this morning! I am down to 10st8 Happy dance!! I checked about 5 times...

Thank you Darcy, I had a lovely time :)

Have a great day Darcy :)

Glad to hear you had a good day TH. Well done resisting the cake. Good Luck with WI tomorrow Nighty Night xx

Great idea Twinkle. I admire your strength and commitment. Also pleased the house move is still going ahead for you all. The 11's are just around the corner and you will be there before you know it. Have a great day tomorrow xxx

Susie, your friend is leaving and it was a lovely idea you having salmon and salad and its a completely healthy choice too. It was nice that you could share that & time together before she leaves. Don't worry about it, enjoy the memory being with her. Tomorrow is a brand new day! Sometimes you...

Thank you Susie :) I had a lovely time. I had a shake before I went and just realised I haven't had my other two packs, i was running around before I went. I am not sure what to do now, whether to have anything or not as its past midnight. I had coke zero and two pieces of chewing gum which I...

Money well spent they are Giggle!! :) Thank you, have a lovely afternoon. Catch up with you later. Hope the snow stays away! xx

Must say I am loving these new Weight Watchers scales they were worth every penny....apparently I am 6st13 I must say that's a HUGE weight loss!!!! Not sure I want to programme them in properly I quite like them the way they are!!!

Ahh that's good I am glad your day is going well. It snowed here this morning, I needed a boat to get me to town day not a car the lanes were so flooded! The snow disappeared then it poured down, then as I drove back the sun was shining and clouds all fluffy and white! Whatever next!! xx

Thank you Giggle, I hope so too! It did give me the boost I needed and everyone was eating lunch around me, I just had green tea and didn't feel deprived like I normally would. How is your day going? xx

Thank you TH & Giggle xx Went to Boots to weigh in today, given that my scales are antiquated and lost my new ones when we moved. I am 5ft5in not 5ft4in. I have always said I was 5ft5in but just thought I had shrunk a bit (as you do..lol!!) Anyway I gained and inch vertically, but not getting...

I tried looking for it on my iPhone but couldn't find it either :(

I actually thought Marigold Bouillon was allowed on TS I was going to buy some tomorrow. I am not sure now. I was sure I read it somewhere. If anyone knows please let me know :) x

Honk!!

Glad you had a great time with your Sister TH. Sleep well and have a great day tomorrow! x

I can see I will be waiting for Sunday every week lol. I will give it my best shot, I am sure I will improve over time. I can do any floor exercise or on machines but my co-ordination is shocking when it comes to dance videos, I just go in all directions!! With a bit of luck I will have mastered...

I'm so worried about my breath!! He will think I am a complete plonker not wanting to get within 3 feet of him lol x

Thank you Susie! Its gone 10 now and I still have 1 meal left so figuring if I have one before I go out then hope I can hold out till I get back but stick a bar in my bag just in case! I usually say no but as part of the new me, I am going!! Quite excited ...I think! x

Jeez I may need to chew some chewing gum after a load of mouthwash with ketosis! I haven't noticed it really but as everyone says about it I am so conscious!

So here's the dilemma I have. I'm going on a sort of date tomorrow evening. So I will be out and need to pace myself food wise. Also I would have liked a drink for dutch courage as not been on a date for ages but am not coming out of ketosis to drink. So i will have diet coke but it may not be...

Can't wait to see Shaun T lol but if he's still gasping for breath I am not sure what hope it holds out for me! haha! Do you do it every day? I can see I will be in bed by 6pm exhausted! xxx

...or I must be mad Susie, just hoping I can manage it, might have to ease my way in by doing short burst until I master it lol. My official weigh in is Wednesday so fingers crossed it will change. I was expecting a really good loss with it being my first week but it has to come off at some...

I am only on day 6 week one of TS so not had to face that yet. I love reading the diaries they are full of inspiration and a fantastic support network at our finger tips here. I am sure someone can help you with the fourth week and what they do, just not me yet :) I can't wait to get to week 4!!

Good luck Smidge x

Well done on your weight losses so far, look forward to seeing your loss tomorrow!

Oh....I can't have coffee either!!

Thank you Lynne, it looks really hard to me too but have been wanting to try it for ages. I looked at Carries photos as she is on it and wow what a difference she looks incredible! I did the 84 for £84 too thought it was a great deal and got a shaker too. I actually wish I had ordered more hot...

Hi Nat, just finished reading your journey to date, wow you are an inspiration and the difference is incredible! The cat milk incident made me giggle! Did you wear your bikini for your holiday? If so I bet that felt great! The bridesmaid dress looked fantastic on you. Well done on your journey...

I have just ordered Insanity workout!! The problem with me is once I start exercising I get addicted to it and can't stop so I figured as this is something I have kept looking at and 'meaning' to buy, then the challenge will do me good! Once the initial push to do it has kicked in, I am...

I have just ordered Insanity!!!! Yay!!! You inspired me Carrie!! xxx

Have a great day Tinky :) x

I cannot wait for my weigh in!! A slimline summer would be absolutely fantastic! I am going to introduce exercise this week as I have been avoiding it for a while! Have a fantastic day and keep up the great work! :) xx

WOW!!! You can really see a difference Carrie! Amazing! I have kept looking at insanity and thinking I would really like to do that but it seems like it would be extremely intense. I may have to buy that & give it a whirl. The results are fantastic! Did you find it hard at the start? xxx

Have a fantastic day TH you are doing so well! I will have a look at the challenge. How funny I downloaded that picture a couple of days ago, love it! Brand new day....Brand new week...let the lbs melt away for us all! :) xx

Good Morning Twinkle :) Maybe that was why you struggled a bit last week but you have a brand new day, brand new week and seem as determined as ever! Have a great day and I hope your car is ready for you for work xx

Thank you Darcy, Lynne & TH xx Well I did the worst thing and hopped on the antiquated old Dr's scales today! They are the ones with a tall top on a stem and usually accurate, however my kitten jumped up on the curtain a while ago and the end of the curtain pole fell off, fell on the top of...

Thank you TH :) I hope to add some exercise this week...not as much as you but will make a start! Looks like you had another busy day today. Wishing you a great day tomorrow xx

Well done Susie. Have a great day tomorrow x

You look amazing Maria! Such an inspiration! Did you do a diary of your journey? Well done on achieving your goal weight xxx

Well done Brim!! xx

You look great Chelly! Well done!

Wow you look amazing Carrie! A totally different person! Well done! xx

Eugh! I have had a Pepsi Max because I feel a bit headachey tonight and am just so thirsty. I usually drink a lot of Pepsi Max and notice you can only have Coke Zero. I haven't got that in. This is the first one I have had since I started Exante TS, I really hope it won't knock me out of...

WOW Sparkley, well done! You look fabulous in your picture and it really does look like two different people! Amazing!!! x

Welcome Vicky! I am just going into day 6 TS. I look forward to your updates. Good luck! xx

Thank you Susie. I can't wait to weigh in on Wednesday as I have been 100% so far and hope it stays that way! Felt a bit hungry today but not been tempted, hope my willpower stays good. Have a great day tomorrow too x

You have done great Twinkle! Hope your tummy is more comfortable by morning, have a great day tomorrow! xx

Well done Minnie!! :)

I am really enjoying the support Lynne also diaries & tips. Trying to work my way through them all so I am up to speed!

I really wanted to try the Mousse mix, hopefully they will replace it with something similar as it sounded like a great idea!

This is good news as I have a load of them in too and mixed with the thai soup for my week 4 they should be quite tasty! I haven't tried them yet as some people said they were quite weird but I will certainly try! Thank you for the info! x

I have been drinking green tea without milk, then topping it up so its weaker as I drink. Also hot water which I am getting used to now...also on day 5, Total Solution. As its such cold weather the boiled water seems easier for me. I did also try the Exante mulled wine and that is really nice...

My weigh in is a Wednesday too. Also my first week. My start weight was 11 stone so it will be great to see how we both do! x

Great weight losses, well done! :)

Well done everyone! I can't wait to join this group....maybe when I have weighed in on Wednesday...fingers and toes crossed! (might cross my lips too so I don't eat till then haha) :)

I LOVE the Turkey dinner! That is my fave so far I think!

Welcome Tinky :) Well done on your great weight loss so far and conquering all the difficult situations you faced along the way!

Well done CL keep up the good work. Love your wedding outfit and you can certainly see a difference in the two photos of you. :)

You are doing great CP I like you don't seem to have the 'cold' effect and must be in ketosis. I hope your headache goes quickly, tomorrow is a brand new day!

Well done on eating healthily Twinkle. After 6 weeks and last week you needed a well deserved break. You have done amazingly well and sound very much in control. Enjoy the rest of your day xx

Just been reading your diary Chris. Enjoyed how you mix your packs up and add new flavours. Good luck in Vietnam and with your continued weight loss and Mrs Chris too :)

Lovely photo's Darcy!

Hi Preston. I hope the week has gone well for you :)

Wow that is a great weight loss. Well done! I started Tuesday and can't wait for my weigh in on Wednesday. Keep up the good work! :)

Hello and welcome! Well done! I started on Tuesday :)

I am worn out once again at your exercise routine. The first time I had been on my exercise bike for ages, decided i would do 1 hour, my daughter knocked on the door, i got off my legs went and I was on my hands and knees shouting 'hold on I'm coming' literally crawling to the door haha!! I got...

I am only half way through your diary! You had just seen the Northern Lights, something I plan to do! I love travelling and intend to do more this year too. The flooring in the loft was just about completed and you had decided to try TS without the bars, did you notice any difference without the...

Hi Alison, well done on your weight loss so far. You will look fabulous in your wedding dress, I bet they will be taking it in by the time your wedding day arrives. That rings so true with me too, someone saying 'don't put on any weight' for me is like a red rag to a bull and I am instantly...

Good luck CP It will be great to see each others progress. I actually can't wait to weigh in on Wednesday!! xx

Lynne that is so true! I spent a few days looking on the forum before being brave enough to post. I found Twinkles diary first and by the time I read it I felt full of admiration for her and thought the support on here was just the best. It's like a little family and invaluable support network...

Ahhh ok Thank you Susie :) I actually can't drink coffee so I can't try the coffee range but did try the Mulled Wine for a change. That was yummy, but I only use a small flat teaspoon of it in the water otherwise its too strong. I think moving to black tea has been one of my hardest things to...

Yes you are an Inspiration, up's and down's and all Darcy! What I noticed when I was reading was not only how determined you are (and spent more time than ever in your garage and moving stuff around haha) but that you brushed off the weeks you didn't have big losses and kept on going, also you...

Well done on your weight loss this week Twinkle that's fabulous! Enjoy your food week, with the determination you have I am sure you will embrace it and enjoy it just like you should, I hope you have remembered how to chew after 6 weeks! haha, I like that you had it all planned out beforehand...

Thank you so much everyone for such a warm welcome :) I appreciate your words of encouragement. I woke up today and feel a bit shaky today but was like that yesterday and it passed so I was maybe dehydrated. Can you drink too much water on this plan? I drink tea, in fact it's a standard joke...

Loved reading your diary Darcy, so inspiring, you are so determined! I am only on page 68 but once I started reading I couldn't stop! :) I will finish reading tomorrow! Well done on your fantastic weight loss!

Another day done! A late night but really inspired reading other posts. I hope my willpower stays! :)

Hi Minnie, I hope things are going well for you today :) xx

Thank you so much Twinkle :) I am so sorry to hear about the house, but like you say you can start afresh if you have to stay...and your Mum will be pleased! Wishing you the best of luck with your food week, I can't wait to hear how it goes, you will do brilliantly just like always :) xxx

Hi everyone! Firstly I want to say how fantastic it has been reading fellow dieters diaries, we all have the same determination to reach our goal. It has been very inspiring & motivational reading, lots of ideas and help. Thank you!! :) So I thought I would record my own diary so I could look...

So pleased I saw this post, I treated myself to a Pepsi Max for tonight as it's Saturday but just realised I can't have it and should have got Coke Zero. Thankfully I hadn't drank it and it will stay firmly in the fridge! Thank you for the info :)

Wow TH I have just read your fantastic diary from beginning to date, all that exercise has worn me out just reading! You are doing brilliantly, such an inspiration! Loved the Tomato crisp idea from the soup mix, and the splitting of packets. Well done on your achievements, it has certainly...

Hi all. I am new to this, I lost 8lbs (was 11st 8lbs) in January because I did the Dryathlon for Cancer Research and decided to continue the good work after a boozy weekend at the beginning of February! I started Exante TS on Tuesday, so I am now on day 4 and doing it 100%. I started Exante at...

Thank you Darcy :) Yes Twinkle, I started on Tuesday. I did the Dryathlon for Cancer research for the month of January and lost 8lbs. I started reading lots about Exante and then found your journey. I placed my order and started on the 4th and have been 100%. Last night a friend came over and...

Wow Twinkle you are a real inspiration! I have read your 6 week journey from the beginning to date and you inspired me to write my own journey. This is my first post and I am actually not sure how to add my picture or anything or work my way round yet but, just wanted to let you know that you...
