Thank you Susie x

1 x Exante working solutions 3 x Body pump classes 6 x Spin classes + More active generally = 6lb loss (happy - but more a tortoise than a hare!!) :D

Well that is my first week up and I have stuck to the working solutions option. I haven't tried the Total Solutions route this time because I have tried various total meal replacement diets on and off on quite a few occasions in the past (Cambridge (sole source) & Lipotrim) and lasted less than...

This thread really does show how weight is not always a good indicator of what size someone might be. 5ft 6" - 16st 5lbs - size 20

That's a fantastic loss - what an incentive for the next week ... Well done. X

Hello and welcome - I have been trying to diet for some time and can relate to your dilemma. I started this week and for some reason feel this is the time for it to work. I look forward to your posts - I am happy to buddy up with you if you want that. Good luck x

so far so good Still feeling good - I am not hungry but definitely feeling deprived. I feel strangely calm about all this and in control. Meals will be much the same as yesterday with the planned meal replacement shakes and a chicken breast and vegetables I had 2 classes booked for this...

I see ... great that you have a friend doing it at the same time as you. Hopefully it will give you both some mutual support. I will be on your case next week ;)

I have been advised that adding water is perfectly acceptable - it's only water and no different to having a shake and having a glass of water at the table at the same time as your meal. My preference is to add more water to the shakes and particularly the soups - I am not keen on them without...

Lol - yes indeed What's the deal with start next week? Have you a big event this weekend or are you working your way through the food left in the house? I am really hoping the positivity remains next week, so will gladly send those vibes to you - I just hope they are still there and I haven't...

Exactly!! what is wrong with trainers? Well apparently, people often wear the wrong trainers which have been badly fitted and do not support the foot for the activity they are doing. For me, trainers + overweight + inactivity (meaning soft tissue in feet out of condition) = stress fractures!! I...

A good morning for me - I wake up feeling muscle ache in my shoulders and chest from my first body pump class - although a little unpleasant, it is a reminder that I am doing the right thing. I am "dealing" with the whole meal replacement thing. Breakfast was a shake with a big spoon of coffee...

ha ha ... yes it is funny a lot of people say it's a killer but strangely for me I like it. I am sold on the calorie burning and I love the loud music - really motivating. I am just doing spin and body pump at the moment because high impact classes are out (for now) because although I have the...

Hi kazagirt79 - I am actually feeling ok - so far. I plan to update My diary as often as possible - so let's carry on our discussion on my diary thread currently titled "working solutions: because I want to exercise" located in the exante forums.... If that is ok with you(?) - we can also use...

Fantastic

Thank you

///[ I am sticking to this but it has been difficult. Lots of mind games on food for me. Am I hungry? ... not really BUT I have spent at least 10 years over eating so in my head it feels like I am very empty and I have a strong desire to "fill up". I am keeping in my mind the wonderful...

Yes - I am so with you on all that. I avoid looking at photos of myself because it is always such a shock to see just how big I am. I kind of ignore all the signs like clothes tightening - almost convincing myself that I must have shrunk them in the wash!! How sad is that??!!! I caught a glimpse...

Thank you

I have just looked you up - I see you start on the 25th - I am looking forward to your posts on how it all goes for you. I hope that we both get to weight we are happy with as soon as possible xxx

It is going well so far. I like that I have pre-decided meals and my mind can not wander dreaming up food I can talk myself in to preparing and eating. I have become very aware of just how much I would normally eat mindlessly and how much I will have to stop myself going to cupboards and finding...

Thank you responders - I am so ready for this. I hope I can get to the stage where I do not feel I am missing out on anything

It is Day 2 for me. I was very tempted to start on the total solution route because I just want to get rid of this weight as soon as I possibly can. However, I do not want to just lose weight, I am horribly unfit (out of breath walking up stairs) and will do ANYTHING to avoid any form of...

Hi there - I have often popped in and out of this website reading diaries and weight loss posts. After many diet fails I have decided to try the meal replacement approach. I look forward to spending some time on here for inspiration and to log my journey
