Gsq how do you maintain? Calorie counting or low carb or just exercising? I think I might end up low carbing, it seems to agree with me. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm sure not having shakes and water won't hinder you too much.. probably not as much as the 2 pieces of chocolate cake and pizza hut will hinder me this week :( gutted I've done it to myself but back on it in the morning. Is the stomach pain new or have you had it for a while? Doesn't sound...

Yes been running round like crazy today, his toe is still bleeding but I think that's because he keeps jumping around. Aw that doesn't sound good for you or your little girl :( I hope her toe starts to get better. Also not great that you're in pain on top of having sleepless nights. I had an...

The first week is the hardest but every so often I have a wobble you just need to be strong and power through. I'm on day 31 and 19lbs down and was planning on doing a weekend of low carb but no calorie counting, but I'm sticking to shakes as getting addicted to the weight loss. I'm wearing...

Sorry sent that too quickly. I've only had 2 shakes today as been at a&e with my 4 year old for hours and just can't stomach anything else. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hello No not had a hernia before but doesn't sound nice. Hope you get it sorted soon. Only had 2 shakes today Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

A stone in 5 months isnt loads, don't be so hard on yourself :) Last year I put 3 stone on in 6 months (and that wasn't after a diet either!) Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well done for not giving in!! I'm drinking over 2 litres but under 3, really trying to drink more but just forget. I've heard some people say that they have a better weight loss when they drink more xx Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi Sherie, welcome :) How did you find your first day? I found the first week the hardest and am now on day 29, I can't believe I've stuck to it for this long actually, usually a couple of days and I'm done! I had my fourth weigh in this morning and have lost a total of 17lbs (5lb, 5lb, 3lb...

That's good, I tend to be fine all week then really crave food at the weekend. Haven't given in yet though. I think I'm getting a bit too reliant on having a protein meal instead of a shake, might just start doing that on a Sunday. No haven't really got anyone like that, just annoys me that...

That sounds delicious, don't you struggle to get back into the swing of things once you've had some normal food? Being in ketosis is the only thing that's keeping me going, I still crave food but I'm not physically hungry.. I know what you mean about wanting to get it moving but I'm sure you...

now what you mean, I guess some of the people on here have heard all our questions before, but I definitely agree that it helps keep you on track when you're in danger of going off the rails. What do you do on a friday night, just eat what you want or do you try and keep to low carb foods? For...

I'm the same with this forum, find it very cliquey and people only reply to people they already know. Don't worry about the slow weight loss, i did the diet a few years ago when I was 3 stone lighter and lost 13lbs in 2 weeks, this time I lost 6lbs the first week and I'm now on day 25 and have...

Hi I'm on day 24 and have lost 13lbs. Don't have any success stories but have been worrying about the same thing myself... :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

The choc orange bars are amazing :) so are the double choc bars.. not keen on the others but it's all down to preference! X Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I didn't realise that either, I sold a load on ebay too. Headed there now to swap some meals! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

What did you think of the shepherds pie? x Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Much more than me then! x Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah fairly good thanks, have you started today? Trying to drink more water, managing about 2 litres a day but think I should be drinking more. Can't bring myself to do any exercise yet, hoping the diet will be enough on it's own. X Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

How long were you off plan for? It's a slippery slope I guess. I am enjoying getting on the scales and seeing a loss. So you've lost 14 and a half lbs since you restarted? That's great! I can't understand why mine isn't higher, but I'll take whatever I can! Are you doing any exercise? X...

Wow 2 stone well done :) how much are you hoping to lose now? I have about 5 stone 5lbs. Hubby is treating us to a holiday in florida if I get to my goal weight, so I've got a pretty good incentive. Are you struggling at all or are you breezing through? I've had a few wobbles but not been...

That's a good idea, I've told my hubby he will have to make his own dinner because I will just be too tempted! I was the same on my first week, it took me a few days to start seriously but after a few days I got into the swing of things. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get started :) Sent...

Good thank you :) I'm on day 15 and going strong! 10lbs down so far. A colleague asked me how I was doing today, so I told her I'd lost 10lbs.. she said 'have you? I cant tell' so was ready to go eat a doughnut after that lol. How are you doing? :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com...

How are you getting on Nessa? Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Mine too, he says he loves beer too much! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Wow sparkley what an inspiration! I have caved in and had a chicken salad for 200 cals instead of a shake today, but I'm not too upset with myself - could have been much much worse. I almost convinced hubby to order me an indian yesterday but fortunately he talked me out of it. I keep...

Are you doing any exercise while on total solution? I was thinking of doing 20 mins a day on the cross trainer once I hit the 2 week mark and then doing something like 30 day shred once I've improved my fitness (seen some good before and after pics!) if i can lose 5lbs a week then I'll be over...

My goal is 6 stone and it seems so far away. If I'm stumbling at 11 days I don't know how I'm ever going to do 6 months plus! Although if I say 24 weeks it doesn't sound so bad. I've never stuck to any diet before which is why im where I am! X Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi I'm on day 11 and today is the hardest so far. I have a vile taste in my mouth, I'm hungry and I'm really really struggling to keep on track. I've lost 8lb so far which I know is good, but was expecting more. I've lost more in the same space of time doing weight watchers and eating alot...

Unfortunately I'm the only fat one so I'm on my own!! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I think it's because I know what these meals are supposed to taste like and just can't separate it. I do love the shakes and bars though, I'm happy to just have them every day! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I did order the meals too but I couldn't force them down, I much prefer the shakes and bars. I must just be really fussy! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's great, much easier to do anything with support from your family. My hubby is supporting in his own way, he's very encouraging just keeps eating in front of me. We go to my mother in laws every Sunday and I sat in the living room eating my choc orange bar while everyone else was sat in...

I don't think we're allowed to trade on here, although the things you don't like are also the things I don't like. The shepherds pie & mushroom risotto are the most disgusting things I've ever tasted. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I ended up with a loss of 6lb when I weighed myself after a full week x Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That makes me feel better thinking it may be fat and not water, I did lose half a stone earlier this year with weight watchers so it could be something to do with that. That water calculation puts me at just over 4 litres and I'm only managing 2 aswell. I'm not sure I could drink more - mainly...

I had the blueberry and raspberry ones, I thought they were ok at the time but the thought of having them again makes my stomach turn! Is your hubby doing exante too then? Mine doesn't want to do it & keeps eating nice food in front of me :( he's got a bit of weight to lose but nothing near the...

I was the same with the meals, some I foundwere inedible! I sold them on ebay & bought a pack of 50 mixed shakes which I'm much happier with!! They are nice if you mix with 50ml water then blend with about 10 ice cubes, the consistency is like ice cream :) willbe good for summer xx Sent from my...

Yeah that's a good idea, I'll start drinking more water. How are you finding the diet so far? I'm doing ok but feeling sorry for myself when everbody is eating nice food! It's my own fault though, I never should have let myself get this big. Good luck :) Sent from my GT-I9505 using...

Glad you enjoyed it :) unfortunately I just couldn't bear the taste, I have since tried the apple and cinnamon porridge which I really like! Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi all I started Exante Total Solution on Tuesday at my biggest ever weight of 18st... I did the diet previously when I weighed 15st and lost 11lb in the first week. I weighed myself this morning (day 5) and have lost 5lbs. I know any loss us good and I should be happy with 5lbs, but being...

Hard to explain really, they looked really good just were a bit soft and not like I expected. Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've stuck all the meals, porridge, hot cross bun bars and pancakes on ebay now. I had the mushroom risotto (well a mouthful) and it was just rank. I'm really disappointed as I love all the shakes & expected the rest of the products to taste as good! Once these have sold I'll order more shakes...

Hi Not sure if you're still wondering but I had the blueberry and raspberry pancakes last night. They weren't too bad but wish I hadn't ordered 6 packs of them. I did a pick your own bumper pack and am regretting most of my choices. I wish exante would accept packs back! Sent from my...

Thanks very much, I will give it a go in the morning x Sent from my GT-I9505 using MiniMins.com mobile app

It was just the taste, just nothing like porridge! Ooh thank you, I will have a search for the biscuit recipe. I also had the hot cross bun bar and am just eating the blueberry pancakes. Pancakes are ok but wasnt keen on the hot cross bun bar.. everything just has a weird fake taste!

Hi everyone This is my second day on Exante. I've tried to do this diet many times before, but only half-heartedly. I'm determined to stick to it this time, and have about 6 stone to lose (I know, wow)... I had 2 banana shakes and the curry yesterday, which all went down fairly well. I had...
