2lbs off this week :D

You're doing great. What kind of food have you been eating?

Enjoy your meal out. And well done on your losses so far x

I have UTI which is quite painful and 5 days worth of antibiotics. All I want to do is eat icecream :icecream:

Thank ladies :) I tried the raspberry porridge today which I wasn't impressed with. Taste was ok but was a weird texture. Just munched the beef and black bean and am impressed. Quite tasty. I only had 3 in my mixed pack so will be ordering some more along with the curry as I think that's fab...

Well done on getting into the 11s! Are you taking multi-vitamins as you may now be getting what you need?

1lb off this week but still heading in the right direction ;)

Good luck for tomorrow. I hope your son is feeling better x

Thank you for the support. Managed to get through another day and even went for a swim after work :)

Starting to get bored with this diet already and only been two weeks :( Can't wait to switch to atkins but I still have too much to lose

Glad you enjoyed yourself x

Thanks for the recipe. Which cocktail sausages are you eating as i thought they were high in carbs? I sooooooooo can't wait to switch to atkins!

Hi fit. Food sounds lovely. Whats this bunting bread you're on about? Is it low carb?

Well done Smidge, I lost 3lb this week too. I was hoping to be at the stone mark after 2 weeks but only 2lb short xx

3lb off this week :0)

I'm normally down the pub on a Friday night and again on a Saturday for the football. Not so much fun when you can't eat or drink! Will keep busy by going for a swim and clearing out the loft. How exciting lol

That's great, well done!!

I hate going out and not drinking lol. I'm a very big drinker, hence my size haha x

From past experience you could set yourself back about 5 days by drinking and eating. You've got to decide whether it is worth it after all of your hard work. Personally I wouldn't as I hate doing these eating plans and want it all over as soon as possible lol. If you are going to drink I would...

Sorry to hear you had such a tough day. And well done for not falling off the wagon. I'm sure you and your boy will make up :) Try not to beat yourself up about it x

I think everybody on here is doing great and all very positive about shifting the excess weight this year :)

I'm the same mousey. When I'm travelling all I do is eat lol. So well done smidge for getting through the day x

I think the bars are around 1g higher in carbs but it doesn't make any difference to weight loss, or so I've found so far

Another good day done and dusted. I had the pasta, ham and mushroom soup today which was really nice and filling. Also had the cookies and cream bar which again was filling so happy with that. Did a 20 minute uphill bike ride, 100 sit-ups and some arm weights in my lunch break. Just hoping it...

Hi, just been having a read of your diary and you're doing great. Your food sounds lovely too. Im on exante at the moment but will be switching to atkins once I get down to about 12 stone I think. I started at 13st11lb on the 3rd January and I was 13st1lb this morning. Still a long way to go...

Well that's day 10 over and done with and not a bad one. Not hungry constantly but feel a bit hungry at night. Today I had a coconut shake (fab), one of the bars (can't remember which one) and the curry which I think is lovely and has a really good kick to it. Did a 20 minute jog, 100 sit-ups...

Well done, you didn't give up! You're doing great. I've stayed the same weight since Sunday so hoping to see the scales move tomorrow :0)

Don't give up spanner as once you get there you'll be fine. We're all different and take different amounts of time x

Well done smidge, that's a fab loss x

wow that's fabulous well done Darcy xx

9lb down on my first week. Over the moon! Now I'm off ice skating for the first time since I was in junior school lol. Wish me luck!

He must realise how dedicated you are

Hi muff and good luck x

Sorry just realised mini said they have no carbs. They sound fab!

How many carbs are in them please yummy? And where do you get them from?

I've enjoyed all of the savoury meals that I've had so far. Never used to like shakes but they aren't too bad and are easy to make at work. Did you pick all of the items you wanted or buy a mixed pack? x

Weigh-in day tomorrow eek

Well done xx

Good luck for your weigh in x

Evening all. Been a busy day so not been able to log on. Went to the gym on my lunch break, ran for 20 minutes then did some weights. Went straight from work swimming with my daughter and she messed around whilst I swam for an hour. Didn't get home until 8pm and just rolled into bed now. I knew...

You're doing great and I'm tempted to throw in a couple of chicken fillets with some green a week just to feel normal lol x

It might be that you left it too long without food but the chicken fillet will sort you right out :0) Do you mind if I ask how much your teeth whitening costs? Does it give good results?

I shouldn't think it will be a problem if I am exercising

That's not too long then Astral and at least you know that daily weighing isn't good for you

I couldn't not weigh myself. I get up during the night and do it after I've peed (which is about 3 times lol). Nightmare eh! I've just eaten a boiled egg as was so hungry...oh the shame

Sorry to hear you had such a bad day yesterday and fair play to you for not falling off the wagon as emotional stuff makes me want to eat!

Thanks smidge. I know it's just water at the moment but it's still nice to see the scales going down. I haven't tried the dhal and lentil pot. Is it filling? I'm also looking forward to trying the sweet and sour and the pasta, ham and mushroom. Have you tried either of those? How are you...

Have you got a lot of the same stuff Astral? I think the curry may be new. I ordered a 90 day bumper pack and it's got all sorts in it so every day is different. I also have some leftover 4 packs a day so I'm alternating between the two.

I've just had the curry and rice and have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Could do with another bowl though lol

Hi Lynne. I'm sure we'll all have a bad day sooner or later so try not to worry about it. I think I read somewhere it helps if you drink plenty of water to flush it through

Might be worth speaking to your doctor spanner, make sure everything is ok? It's funny how the different low carb diets work as I did the Cambridge diet about 10 months ago and only managed a few weeks as it gave me gout and my doctor said I needed to stop x

Hi Croydongal, you're doing great and well ahead! I've just had the curry with rice which I think is lovely. Have you tried all of the savoury meals?

Don''t give up, another day or so and it will all be fine x

6lbs down in 3 days woop x

According to my ketostix I was in ketosis this morning. Have you tried them? If you're losing weight you'll be in ketosis but I believe it takes anything up to 5 days to get there x

Wow spanner, 7lb already is great! I've been heading to bed early too as find I'm really hungry, even though i'm having my last meal around 8pm. In hindsight maybe I'm leaving it too long lol

Not too bad actually smidge. No headache thankfully. Went to the gym on my lunchbreak and did a 20 min bike ride then some weight machines. Worried it will make me hold water so the scales don't move but can only wait and see eh

That's fab - hope I can lose 6lbs in 3 days too lol

Hi spanner, how you doing? We're really not far off as I'm 5ft3, weighed in at 13st11 and today is my day 2 :0) I try not to weigh in daily but fail every time lol - I'm my own worst enemy. Roll on ketosis eh xx

You're doing great. I need to try and wait until later in the day for my first meal like you and will work on that. I woke up so hungry this morning but is only day 2 so to be expected. Doubt chocolate bar sounds fab and can't wait to try it. I've never been a fan of pop but could have done with...

Well done you - it will certainly hep tone you up. I'm sat on my butt watching Game of Thrones with a bottle of water, however I will do some weights and situps before bed

Good luck on the bingo :0) I like to play online but spend too much!

The day didn't turn out too bad really. I've just had a soup with a bit of worcs in it and was lovely. Had a headache most of the day and drank loads of water so been in and out of the loo like a yo-yo lol. I'm a big water drinker anyway so no problems there. I slept awful last night, kept...

Day 2 and woke up staaaaarving! Really need to push it out until at least 11am for my first pack otherwise I'll struggle later in the day. How is everyone else getting on?

Well done ladies, brilliant losses. I started today at 13st11lb so will pop back next Sunday with an update for my first week xx

Was it more expensive to do the pick & mix as I will probably do that when I run out? I did lighterlife a few years ago. It worked and I lose 2 stone in 2 months but it didn't have anywhere near the amount of choice that exante does X

Just popping in to say hello smidge, you're really well! I should have started yesterday but didn't feel quite ready as had a long drive but today went absolutely fine and also managed an hour swim. Bit of a headache but apart from that I feel fine. Really hoping to lose over a stone by...

Oh no it sounds awful lol. I think I have about 5 packs too. I'm still using up my old stuff which is 4 packs a day at around 150 cals each then ill move on to the 3 packs a day. I ordered 90 days worth and seems to have lots of different stuff in there Are you ordering a weeks worth at a time...

Hi Aloize, we done on sticking to it so far. I'm only on day one and have a headache although I think that is probably from alcohol withdrawal! I'm off to google this promix bottle that you mention :0)

Did it not turn out right or taste awful? I have it but not tried it yet

I haven't had anything that I don't like yet. Haven't been able to make the syprup pancakes successfully so just stopped trying lol

Didn't think about that. I just tried some hot chilli in a soup and made it a bit tastier

Hi all, Sorry for not getting on but been having a clear out to keep my mind off food and just been swimming for an hour. No doubt I won't be able to move tomorrow lol! I think 3 months sounds like a good target and switch to atkins at the point. Depends how well the weight comes off really. I...

That's great, well done! My first day is tomorrow too. Just had my last 'meal' and have everything ready to go x

Hi all and Happy New Year! Sounds like we're all ready to get stuck in and shift the weight. My first day of Exante is tomorrow. I've just been through all of my packs and put them in order lol, how sad! How long do you ladies think it will take to get to target? Claire

Hi Shelly, thanks for the post. Would love to have a buddy :) And we've got about the same to lose, although im 2 inches shorter than you lol

Going to switch to atkins today up until sunday, ready to start exante on Monday 4th January. Actually can't wait to get started now!

How do I update my profile page please?

Thanks Pierce :)

Hi daydreamer, Thanks for your message. So have you decided to go for 29 Dec as a start date? I'm only 5ft3 so far too heavy for my height. But we're a similar starting weight (think I'm around 13st7 at the moment but daren't weight myself again) so would be nice to keep each other going? I...

Hi Shona. I would be interested too as I noticed there are indian type meals now. I only have the basic soups, milkshakes and bars x

Hello! I will be starting Exante on the 3rd January with 3 1/2 stone to lose. I'm also planning to pack in the fags at the same time #nopressure Is anybody else starting at the same time and fancy buddying up? I hope to do 2 months on the total plan then reintroduce low carb food from there...

Hi ladies, I'm back on atkins after 9 days on the Cambridge diet. I lost 9lbs but unfortunately developed gout so my doc said I had to come off it. Going to have a mooch through the diaries for some nice recipes so I don't get bored. I have 3 stone in total to lose so 2 and a half left to go...

We're all doing fab

Hi Ria. Have you got your packs yet? Can't wait to have a good chat and get mine so can get stuck in

Helloooooo I've got about 3 stone to lose. You've done fab! How have you found it?

I tried to find you last night but no luck. What's the name of your diary? I looked for Little Miss. Been very good today (I think) B: Poached eggs on toast L: Yoghurt & an apple (had to work through) D: Homemade tomato & redpepper soup with chunky mushrooms fried in frylight S: After work as...

Hi Little Miss. Been sooo busy with work and decorating that I haven't been on here much. Need to have a mooch around all the diaries when I get the chance. I'm weighing in Friday morning. Feel quite bloated but the doc has put me on metformin again to help with pcos and it gives me a dodgy tum...

Evening all, took ages to find my diary as haven't been getting on lol. Had the most amazing prawn salad for dinner. Still got the munchies so have some crab sticks to chew on :0) 30 minutes on the cross trainer this morning. Still feel like I'm eating far too much but going to stick it out and...

What a weekend! Managed to behave until today when I took my daughter to the seaside and had some chips..........oops. Will get up early tomorrow and go for a long jog and get stuck back in again. Had a flyer through my door when I got home for slimming world so I'm going to take that as a sign...

Hi Little Miss! Managed to get to the shops tonight after work but had a naughty piece of cake at lunch :( Must make up the syns over next few days! Spent £60 at Asda but lots of fruit and veg in there to make some yummy meals. How was your day?

I completely forgot about quorn....youre a star!

Is that one slice on a Saturday and one on a Sunday lol

wow Patch you've done fab! Any chance you could give me a few green meal ideas as I don't have a very good imagination!

Hmmm, think I'd manage 2 weeks worth of syns in one night out!

Aww boo, weekend breakys wont be the same without black pud :cry:

Little miss, I'm desperate to do a food shop hence eating the mushy peas. I can quite easily eat the out of the tin cold but I put them in a bowl and heated them up, just to be civilised haha x

Hi Bubble, thanks for popping in. I don't mind being stalked so feel free lol. Do you have a diary too? x

How does SE work please? Did it come out the same time as the EE?

I've started one up now. I probably won't get on every night but i'll try to keep it up-to-date. I'll have a nosey for yours now x

Thank you for the welcome. You've done amazingly well! Is this all with slimming world? x

Hi all, I'm a newbie too after trying every diet under the sun and lasting about 2 weeks each time :sigh:

Thanks for the welcome :D I'm doing red/green days but may try and progress to EE at some point. It's a lot of years since I did SW and can't really make it to a class so I'm using an old-ish book x

It's not a real gain. I bet next week you'll have a really good loss :D x

Hi all, First day on SW and doing it from home. I'm hoping that over the next few months I can get to a point where my weight isn't the first thing I think about every morning when I wake up! I'm going to do red/green days to start with as I know nothing about EE but will gradually get around...

I haven't yet but I will start one now I think. Hopefully it will keep me on track and if I'm making a mess somebody will point it out lol x

Sorry to hear your mum put your home down. I think most people over eat when they're feeling up/down at some point so try not to beat yourself up about it. Sorry I can't be more help. Big hugs x

Thanks little miss. You've had fab losses and hope I will too x

Hi all, newbie here and doing SW from home :D

These fish recipes sound delicious! I'm going to try the fish pie with the carrot and swede topping tomorrow

Thanks Theria. That's something I need to work on, not over eating. You're doing really well so I may look at the EE plan. It may be worth me joining a club but I won't be able to get to weigh-in every week so I feel it's a waste of money. I've got the books so I'll have a nosey and see what...

Helloooooo, I'm new, can I join please? First day today x

Hi all, Does anybody else do red/green days? I started today from home (have done SW in the past) and I'm a bit worried about how many green days I should have a week? In the past I've felt that I eat too much on a green day but they're more filling and easier at work. Any input would be...

This has reminded me to take my measurements. I went for a 20 minute 'jog' yesterday and again this morning and I'm pretty sure I'll actually gain weight which can be so off-putting!

Well done on getting to target. Cant wait until I get there! :)
