Mmm 5lbs have gone back on, so cutting back for a few days. Hope everyone is OK out there, it is mighty quiet from regulars who have been on their journey the same time as me…hope all is well.

hope everyone is OK out here - some usual posters who have supported e all the way have not posted lately so hope they are all OK. News from me, a few ups and downs, but happy to report one month after goal and JUDDING I am maintaining my weight. Am still taking things carefully with the...

Thanks Lynne. Well I STS at monday weigh in, so pleased with that as I am trying to navigate my way round healthy eating and JUDD and maintain.

Pretty good choices for a hungry day. Well done. Your food is always so colourful!

A difficult day yesterday left me tired and emotional. So did not make the best food choices yesterday ( old behaviours coming out!) But planning a DD today. Much needed. tired today but loads to do so best crack on...

hope you had a great holiday. The weight will come off, and the break will have done you wonders. That is what is important. x

Fantastic news to see the 11s and that wonderful feeling of buying new clothes in a "normal" size. Congratulations. x

Great choices. The long hours are tough to eat regularly but it is great you are being focussed. When you have a moment I would love to know what protein powder you use in your shakes.

Love your food choices. And Gavin is adorable.

Have had 2 UD together but planning a DD today. Still finding my way round this new way of eating. I weighed in today and have got rid of 2 lbs which surprised me. Thought I may have STS. 2lb off is great. But then I have been doing a lot of running around the B+B! Goal this week is to eat...

Cate please do come back, if you're busy just let us know you are OK.

Not sure I am sorted (there is still a fat person inside shouting to come out), but taking it day by day. DD was fine yesterday, just the 3 packs, now planning for an UD today.

Great idea about the no weigh in. I weigh once a week though have to stop myself doing it more often!

Yesterday's food - strawberry yoghurt, tuna and bean salad and rice crackers and carrot rape, beef lasagne and salad with coleslaw and beetroot/onion salad, handful of peanuts, various earl grey tea, coffee and water. DD today.

An interesting week with fasting (3 packs) and up days. Have been taking it carefully and have had 4 DD and 3 UD. Found myself snacking at times on UD so will have to curb that and eat more "normal" food. Weigh in this morning and .75lb gone so pleased with that. My aim now is to slowly lose...

Good luck with everything today and the food choices look yummy! Can't get fridge raiders here in France!

mm, choosing what to eat for yourself is tricky after a VLCD as you have to think about it. In a way I prefer the 3 packs a day routine as it takes "responsibility" out of my hands. But I know you can't live like that forever and I have to make good choices for myself. Have resisted the scales...

So glad you are back. It makes sense to take a break when things get too much , and your analysis seems sound - when things get on top of us because life gets tricky, it is easy to focus on the niggly things that get in the way. It seems you have your perspective back - and we have all been...

Katie you are doing so well - and I love the dress! Tres chic.

Sensible plan Cate. Glad you are OK.

Katie that weight gain will soon be off.

Thanks Denise. UD yesterday and I stuck with tuna, salad, and thai curry and some rice - wasn't very hungry. But today is a DD and I am hungry today so maybe will eat a little more on my UD. Sticking to packs on my DD. Also done the Ice bucket challenge today having been nominated, so just out...

Weigh in this morning - gained a quarter of a pound. I can live with that as it was the first week off TS. Looking forward to a JUDDD week this week. Though it is scary being responsible for my own in take using real food!

Well its been a good week. Have definitely decided to go the JUDDD route as I enter final weight loss stages/maintenance. Weigh in tomorrow so we shall see - though I have had 3 down days and 4 Up days - partly as we had a much needed couple of days off and I was intending to do alternate days...

Hi Cate - hope you are doing OK. Whatever the scales say, you have been doing great. xxx

Thanks Katie. I agree about the "normal" person mentality. How many times do we think "oh well, I've overeaten and blown my diet I am a failure and may as well carrying on eating…." it is changing the mindset that is important. Weigh in this morning. Not sure how this happened, the body and...

Weebuns I have read through your diary and have been inspired. I am about to move from VLCD to JUDDD - I've been Exante VLCD since Feb - and have picked up so many tips and wise counsel from what you've written. Thank you. I know my journey is about to get harder as food choices come into play.

Loving my fitbit as it monitors my activity so well. one of the things it has bought me is that though I am on my feet a lot of the time, the actual number of steps isn't that great - about 6000 a day on average, but pretty good calories burned. I do a lot of standing cooking, cleaning rooms...

Cate, have just sat with a coffee and read your diary right through. I love the honesty, the thought processes and the inspiration! You are doing so well and seeing this as long term rather than a quick fix has got to be right and adjusting as you go. Having been on a VLCD since February and...

Using your inner voice to say "step away from the cake" is so motivating. Well done and keep it up. I agree there is no better feeling when you stick to 3 packs when you have been tempted and are then good!

All good so far, one pack to have which am going to have at bedtime as a hot shake. actually being back on packs only is quite nice after eating ( weird) I just have to be careful I don't see them as a prop and the be all and end all for my weight problems. I know maintenance on the horizon...

Good plan Katie and glad you have it sorted in your head. I agree with Cate that there is something about going along on a VLCD for weeks then something comes along and it just seems to get harder. I echo what you say about feeling "normal" even though still overweight as this is how I am...

OK, and up and down, or down and up(?!) couple of weeks. It has been an extraordinary time as we have had my brother and sister in law who live in Australia and are doing a European holiday, come to stay with us for 4 days. So while I have been careful, I have been eating and I thought that...

Yes Lynn, it will come off, you can do this.

Thanks Denise and Cate. It is lovely to have the comments. I formally exercise very little - but I am up and down the stairs a lot as our rooms are on the fist floor and we do everything ourselves - so laundry, cleaning, cooking, gardening…and when we get a chance to go out it is usually for a...

So busy not had much time to post lately. But weigh in this morning and another 4.25lbs gone so very pleased with that. I am starting to think about maintenance now I am getting somewhere near goal as I know that will be the hard part…have a good week everyone. x

We are with you Lynne. You will get there bit by bit. x

You can add more water if you want - I make my shakes up with about 500mls of hot water, that way not too thick and a longer drink.

Well done Katie on the losses an the photos are a testament to your hard work and determination. You look fantastic!

wow that is great. Well done and you will soon reach your next goals.

Great idea with the leg weights…think i need to get a fit bit…and good choices o the phone - yummy and healthy

Yay, that weight has gone off and this week lost 3 lb so really pleased with that - and so pleased I am not BMI classified as obese anymore….just overweight!

I know I'll be miserable if I don't lose weight before I go! Lynne, don't let weight issues spoil looking forward to your holiday. Between now and ten use all your willpower and stick to your plan and the weight will come off. Don't think about being miserable if you don't succeed with your...

TS today. Really pleased I've got straight back to it. Didn't feel good indulging. Funny how the mind and body work!!!

Thanks Cate - I will shift it! Bastille Day was great fun ending with fireworks at 11pm - I did eat a little and had a glass or two of wine - but also took part in a sack race and tug of war so was pretty active. Definitely back on the packs today...

mmm…thanks for the comments ladies and I am getting there…but have put on 1.25lbs this week. Bit of a bad day food wise (definitely not TS)on Saturday with friends over and ate and drank too much…but we will have to get that shifted this week. Felt terrible yesterday as over indulged but it is...

Had a tricky day yesterday. Felt hungry for the first time in ages and was sorely tempted to eat. But I found some kind of strength as I really want to get to a BMI that is no longer OBESE. Made do with a cup of bouillon between packs. It is getting harder the closer I get to goal. But...

Good luck Katie, you can do this! Final stages….

Weekly weigh in. So pleased, another 3.75lbs off and into the 13s…..god luck everyone on your journeys as another week dawns.

Yes, straight back on it and it will go as quickly as it came. Glad you had a good time.

Despite being on this diet for months, I've just tried the ham, pasta and mushroom soup and think it is wonderful! Will become a daily staple I think.

Hi Lux and good luck on your journey. I see you have recently started. Keep at it and you will achieve your goals!

Thanks ladies. x

Well done Lynne, so glad you are back to it and reaching for your goals. Keep at it.

Back into the groove. Weigh in this morning and another 4.75lbs gone so really pleased with that after this time and below what I was before our mini break.

How's it going Hazel - use this board if you need support?

Hi Cate I can relate to the sandwiches in the car story! Lynne, take it day by day - as has been said we all have our issues and weak points to don't get disheartened - and you are not a failure!

Thanks Lynne, you must be looking forward to your holiday. Hope you are taking steps towards your goals.

Thanks Cate. I'm back in the groove...

Keep focussed Lynne we are with you!

Hi Cate, and everyone, thank you for checking in on me! It means lot to know the support is there. Its been an interesting couple of weeks. We had no guests booked in for a few days (unusual this time of year) so we took the opportunity to go off on a mini holiday ourselves to recharge our...

Thanks Cate, I certainly clean those rooms with more of a spring in my step now!

Hi Lynne Sounds like a great day - so don't beat yourself up about the drink and food choices. Those of us with weight issues can be very good at focussing on the negative rather than the positive. You had a great day. End of. Now you start the next few days making good choices and no harm...

Day by day, on we go. Digging in deep now, but motivated by a 4.75 lb loss this week. Have been rather busy though so all that running around has helped.

Welcome Hazel and good luck. Take it day by day and get support here when you need it. You can do this! That ketosis blanket will soon be round you.

Hi Cate thanks for your comments. A little way to goal yet, as I still have an obese BMI! But well on the way and it will take it half a stone at a time now.

Sticking with it and I'm really noticing the weight loss now. Weigh in today and 3 lbs gone this week. Day by day, pound by pound we are getting there...

Well said Bee. :)

Thank you BeeBee. I will catch up with your diary too… A few rambling thoughts this morning as I sit here with my coffee before tackling the next jobs. The thing with this diet (or any other diet) is that I don't think you can do it for anyone else. It is such a personal thing a diet - that...

Well done Lynne. This isn't easy but so glad you have restarted and taking steps towards your goals. Sending big hugs of support, and enjoy your time off work. x

Thanks ladies for the encouragement. Everyone has their own journey…so good luck and well done too.

Been busy busy but still staying focussed. There are times when I fancy eating something but I stay strong and the moment passes. The weight loss really helps the motivation as you don't want to undo the good work. 12 weeks done now. Weigh in this morning. Another 4.5lbs gone. Really pleased...

Thanks guys - your comments really give me a boost. My motto is definitely one day at a time!

Weigh in today - another 4 lbs gone this week so really pleased as that makes over 50lbs lost. I know now is the hard bit so this will keep me motivated I hope.

Thanks Cate. Please do stick with it. You will have down days, but the results are so worth it. Please do take each day at a time and you will soon see results. Once the weight starts coming off it really motivates you to carry on and not undo all the work and effort that has gone in.

Thanks lynn. Your comments mean a lot. I know you've had a difficult time so hope you are in a good place at the mo. X

A great start. I am here for the long haul too. Keep at it and the weekly weight loss will motivate you. I find most of the packs OK, but what works for me is I don't really think of them as food, but as a necessity to get my RDA of essential stuff. That way even if I am not hungry, I do have...

I think actually thinking about starting is worse than just taking the plunge. If you can be strong for the first few days it does get so much easier. If you want to start gradually just swap one meal, say lunch, for an exante product and build up to it that way. Being on the diet and losing...

Well people are noticing my weight loss now, which is great and helps with the motivation to keep going. I think this is day 67 - week 10 anyway. When I started I didn't think I could keep on it for more than a few weeks but have surprised myself. Actually not thinking about food for myself...

Do what you feel comfortable with. I've told people as it has come up and the response has been good. I've actually discovered that people don't care what you eat. I cook for people as part of what I do for a living and sit down at the table with them and have whatever pack - I say I am on a...

Sounds sensible Lynne. Goals need to be achievable and just take it day by day. Good luck.

Thanks Rosey, and good luck with your journey too!

Really pleased with weigh in today. 5.5lbs off making a total of 41.5 in 8 weeks. That should help my motivation for this week to get over the lose 3 stones goal...

Hi Mrs M, firstly congratulations on getting started. It helps me to think of the packs not as "food" but just as a sort of medicine product that gives me all my essential nutrients for the day. That way I don't compare them with real food. Having said that I don't have a real problem with...

Good luck. Get through the first few days and it does get so much easier. I can't remember what day i'm on, 50 I think. Stick with it, drink plenty and you will see the weight loss. It helps me not to think of the food packs as food but just as nutrition which I need to keep me well while i...

Good luck on your journeys. Don't worry about the negative comments from others about VLCDs. It is your journey not theirs. It is your body and you are doing it for the right reasons. People have an opinion about everything. I am in week 8 and just take it day by day.

Thanks Becky, yes I managed to get through the hunger, much better now. Another 3lbs off this week at monday's weigh in so it is worth it!

Lynne you will get there - just one day at a time.

Good luck Rosey. You will get there and stay focussed. The bath is a good idea - me time is very important. Good luck with your journey.

Hi Lynne - are you OK???

Mmm, struggling a bit today. Not tempted to eat, but for the first time, I feel hungry and my tummy is rumbling a lot. Just had a berry bar and a cup of tea so hopefully that will help…also ordered more supplies so that will keep me going while it is on a good offer...

OK, I think I've worked out 'I'm on Day 44 today, and can't believe how much time has flown. V. Pleased with weigh loss so far, but need to keep at it. Been too busy to get on here much, but good luck to everyone else.

Good luck Lynne and great goals to have. You know you can do this. x

Hi Lynne we run a B+B and my husband is a WW1 battlefield guide so always busy, and always around food!

Enjoy the birthday celebrations Lynne and your break away from work. x

Hi Lynne, that's a really good attitude. Before this diet we couldn't even see the woods! Haha. Don't just give up, brush yourself off and start again. Much better than spiralling out of control. Good luck, and take each day at a time. Weather has been lovely and spring like but a bit...

It is Lynne. I like the fact I have been able to think about why I have always eaten too much since being on Exante - the break from real food has made me realise things I hadn't thought of before. I'm certainly not out of the woods yet, but the thought process is interesting.

That's a nice feeling. Good luck and keep at it!

Yes I agree with Nats, its all about getting your head in the right place. Don't think too far ahead about how tough it is going to be to get into ketosis. Be positive. You've made the decision to do it, that's great, now just take it one step at a time. Commit to doing 1 day, your willpower...

Yes I am in the zone but know I have some hard weeks ahead to keep at it. You have to stay motivated. For me it's all about getting my head space right. If I wasn't in the right frame of mind I couldn't do this. The question I keep asking myself is why have I let myself be fat for the best part...

Hi Kookies, hope your day has been good today. you need to stay strong and really focus on sticking to it 100% then after a few days and you are in ketosis it will all be a lot easier. Good luck

Hi Lynne, I'm fine thanks, just been so busy and no time to get on here! Everything is going well with the diet. I've weighed in this morning and another 3.5lbs one today so really pleased with the progress. It really does help the motivation. hope you and all the others on this regime are...

Yep, carbonara is now my least favourite too. Berry bars I like but they are very sweet.

I tried my first berry bar today. Thought it was fine. I put it in the fridge an it came out quite chewy and substantial. Sweet though!

I like most of the meals. Actually pasta carbonara, while passable, is my least fav. Shepherds pie is my fav but I know a lot have commented they don't like it. It really is personal choice.

Thank you Suzie. Ok I've now tried the red berry bar today from my new consignment. Cold from the fridge with a cup of black tea it was actually rather good! So a bar, exante turkey dinner, which was also OK and a shake to have at bedtime. That's my 3 today. I got asked today if I had lost...

Thanks ladies for the support and good luck with your weigh ins. x

Thanks for that Lynne I will try them frozen. My packs should arrive today. They take a bit longer as I am in France. Well weigh in today after 4 weeks and 4.5 lost this week since Wednesday so a total of 25.5lbs. Really pleased with that for 4 weeks. Really helps the motivation but I know...

Good luck, and I love the miners analogy.

Well done and so pleased you stuck with it. You are well on the way.

I know what you mean, my OH is the same, he doesn't even think about food except as a fuel, where I am a real foodie! Well done on getting to day 4 - you should be well on the way to a great loss this week, and once you are in ketosis (likely by now) you won't want to mess it up by eating...

Well I went for shakes and meals as that is what seems to suit me - but I did get the offer of the free berry bars, so I hope they are OK! If nothing else they will make a change.

That is great to hear - and good luck .. Use the forum for support. It is easy when you are up but it is the down times you need the support. You will get there.

Great advise and comments from Phoenix. Pleeease don't give up. You have done so well. It is not falling off the wagon that it is important, it is what you do after. Just dust yourself off and treat today/tomorrow as a new day. That is behind you. Remember your weight loss so far not the...

A diary is a good idea. Good luck with Day 1. Remember you are doing this for you, not OH, and let him laugh when he sees the pounds start to come off…It helps me to think of the packs not as food, just as required nutrition. Just stay focussed and you will get through the first few days, then...

miss chaos you make a good point about the closer you get the harder it gets - as what next? So absolutely, just concentrate on these first 4 days and then take it day by day. Use this forum if it gets tough, that's when you need the support.

Thanks Darcy and Denise your losses are great too. I agree the losses do help keep you motivated. I got on the scales three times this morning just to check it was right as it is so nice to see those numbers getting steadily lower. But I am really pleased that I have resisted the urge so far...

Well weigh in this week delayed by 2 days as we were away, business not pleasure. But in the 9 days since last weigh in really pleased that another 5 pounds has come off giving a total of 21 pounds in 23 days. Was good while I was away, so really pleased that showed on the scales. So heres to...

Well done Brendan. Stay focussed and keep at it as you are doing so well.

Yes that's fine - as long as you have 3 packs a day, it doesn't matter how you have them.

Totally agree with Allie. You have to get your head right first. Just get focussed on sticking to it for 4 days and get into ketosis, then it is like a comfort blanket which stops you feeling hungry or wanting to cheat - being kicked out of ketosis is not worth the nibbles. You can do this...

Yes well done. Understanding why and when we eat is half the battle. The choc and wine doesn't make the feelings go away, they are still there, and on this diet we are learning to deal with hard times rather than smother them with calories which make us feel worse/down/guilty etc. These are...

In bed now, completely knackered. Just had my last pack of the day. Hot strawberry shake yum yum. Had energy today but too many late nights have caught up with me. Am inspired by reading the diaries on here and seeing how well people are doing, even though it is tough.

That's amazing on the weight loss and the slinky jeans!

Sounds like you ar going to have a wonderful wedding Demmeister. I agree the music should be a personal choice to reflect the 2 of you and your day.

Hoep you averted the treat and id something non calorific instead! You are doing so well.

Good luck and keep at it. Being removed from real food is a good time to think about when and why you eat. I know it is hard to cook for others - I do too - but they are usually not bothered if you are not eating. So you are doing really well, carry on and you will soon get to your goal.

Hi Zara it can make you retain more fluid around TOTM affecting weightloss very temporarily but it will even itself out after. Best advise is to stick to the plan and keep drinking the water so you remain hydrated.

8lbs is terrific. Every pound off is an achievement. Well done. Keep at the water. Not doing too badly, Day 17 for me.

Day 17. Sitting with my cup of black tea before I go off to do some work. Had my 3 packs very late last night - the last one at 1am! Just had trouble finding the time to fit them in (I hope this is a good thing that I am not thinking about food??) so had the last hot shake in bed. I have a...

Thanks for the comments guys. Well done Denise you should be proud of yourself. I've been fine today, Day 16. Agree I feel better than I have done for quite a while. Definitely a spring in my step. Is it physical or mental?

It is always best to stick with one pair of scales as they can fluctuate. Dust yourself off and get back into ketosis. Try not to weigh yourself until your next weekly weigh in then you may get a nice surprise. Keep at it - it is worth it.

Day 16. All OK. Tummy rumbling a bit this morning but not hungry. Lynne we are in Picardy, in the Somme WW1 battlefield area. It is beautiful here and we are WW1 historians so ideally placed.

Thanks DeniseSuzanne and good luck to you too. We can do this! I will keep posting, particularly when it is tough as that's when we need the support. Too long I've tried to face my weight demons on my own.

Well I'm on Day 15 today and thought it might help me to start keeping a diary. A little about me. After being a lifelong yoyo dieter which has seen me with a BMI from normal to morbidly obese and every dress size in the wardrobe, it really is the time to get myself sorted out. Me and my hubby...

Good luck for the weigh in…!

Hi Mrs, I know the lack of hunger is weird isn't it. I don't mind any of the packs so far either. Good luck with your weigh in and let's hope you are jumping around the scales with delight!

Thank you Mrs. How are you getting on?

Weigh in day today and another 4.5lbs gone so really pleased with that as now over a stone gone in 2 weeks and I'm in the next stones down which I will use to keep me motivated this week. Day 15 here we come...

I can imagine it is tricky. I don't do nightshifts so can't really help much - except to say as long as you have 3 packs every 24 hour period you should be fine. It doesn't matter when in those hours you have them, but your body needs the daily nutrition from them. Hope it is getting easier...

It's really up to you, but I started on a Monday, so weigh myself Monday mornings.

No, I'm pretty sure it is in addition to.

Well done on the weight loss. Keep at it. Maybe try some gentle exercise at home - some abs work etc and a brisk walk. Glad you had a good meal and it got things moving! Just get back on the TS and don't let it slip now you have had some real food. Stay focussed!

I have a lot of weight to lose too. For me I can't focus too much on the end game as there is a long way to go, so taking it day by day and half a stone by half stone helps me stay focused. Every half pound is a step closer to getting there. Stick to it and this is the quickest way to lose those...

That's great - just keep going day by day. You are so right - think of the positives, it is so worth it.

Day 10 for me and it has been OK. Try and avoid the extra half bar and you will get into ketosis quicker, then with a little luck, you should not feel hungry after that. Just take it one day at a time and use this board for support especially when you wobble.

Day 10 for me. Going fine. My clothes don't feel any different yet but I do feel better. Whether it is psychological or not I don't know, but I seem to have more energy and have a more positive outlook (not that I was a pessimist).

Yes, just stick with it and it will get a lot easier. You may even start to feel better than you have done in a long while.

Look interesting...

Oh naughty BC! Just get back on that wagon…11lbs is amazing so keep at it - it is good to support each other!

Yes I can see a real difference - particularly around the cheeks and chin! It i great to have a visual of your achievements. Keep at it you are doing so well!

Yes good luck and keep on with the packs. you get used to them.

Well done and keep on at it. I am on Day 9 and just take it day by day.

Yes GemsGem I'm really pleased with the first week weight loss - it has motivated me to stay on track in Week 2. It helps just taking it little by little rather than thinking long term. Let each day on this be a mini milestone. Well done on sticking with it.

Just take a day at a time. Keep focused and it does get easier after the first few days.

Hi Zara it is usually with the gravy granules and stock cubes in the supermarket in a little tub. It is a powder you mix with hot water. May help with any savoury cravings or the need for a hot drink other than tea/coffee.

I'm on day 8 and it helps me to focus on why I am doing this. I see my packs as nutrients rather than food. Think about the 6 days achievement not the one real food encounter. And 6 lbs is an achievement - that's nearly half a stone!!! Just stay strong and take it day by day. Just get back on it!

Hi Lindzz. Good luck. You can do this. I'm on day 8 and though it has been fine for me, you do have to stay focused on why you are doing this. I am around food and cook in my work as well and I just try and distance myself mentally that that is other people's food. Think about why you ate the...

Welcome GemsGem and good luck. I'm now on Day 8 and it is going well so far. I'm really pleased to have lost 11.5 pounds in my first week. Woohoo. My tips are to stay focused and just take it day by day. The first few days are the worst and then after that you don't really feel hungry - just...

Welome Confused and god luck. Stick at it and you will soon not feel hungry! Day 7 for me and going OK.

Helllo and good luck. I'm on day 7 and all going fine so far. x

I make the shakes hot with hot water from the kettle. It works for me to have a hot choc, or hot strawberry etc. Also I try not to think about it as food, just a bunch of nutrients that I need to have each day to keep me healthy while I lose the weight.

Honk.

Great start Bravocharlie. We started at the same time. I am on Day 5 and have resisted the temptation to weigh in yet…but for me too it is going OK. I have not to any bars - I've got shakes and meals and that seems OK for me so far, though I had a disaster with the pasta carbonara - too runny...

I'm only on Day 5 but I find I am OK til the afternoon then I have one at about 3pm, 7pm and a hot shake before bedtime.

I've been putting more water in too - and having some of them hot, made with water from the kettle when it has boiled and rolled down a little. - makes them like a hot choc, hot strawberry etc. I like them that way.

Day 5 and all good so far. Thanks Darcy, I'm sure I'll get used to the loo-going. I will see it as a positive thing.

Day 3 begins. All OK - but I have never wee'd so much. It's becoming frustrating keep going to the loo. Will have to plan trips around where there is a loo!

Thanks - will try again another day, the long soak in water sounds like a good plan.

Good luck Bravocharlie. I'm a newbie too, Day 2 for me and so far so good.

Good luck. I'm on Day 2 - so far so good.

Thanks Katie. Good advice gratefully received. Feeling OK but had a bit of a disaster :mad: with the Pasta Carbonara pack - too much water I think so very runny with lost bits of little spaghetti lurking in the bottom. Any tips how to make it better?

Hello Chunky, glad your first week was a breeze and good luck with your weigh in tomorrow. Feeling OK at the moment and already starting to think - why did I let myself get so fat, if only I had eaten less, took more exercise blah blah blah. They are easy questions, but obviously the answers...

Thank you for the welcome. Day 1 done and dusted. Feeling OK at the moment. Taking it day by day. Three packs ready to go...

Hello everyone. Day one of Exante with a lot of weight to lose. Wish me luck and looking forward to the support on here.
