Thanks Arya, am amazed I lasted the week and feel so upbeat. Did my official WI this morning and have lost 9lbs since I began, pretty pleased with that it has to be said. Just another 3 lbs off and I will have hit the 12s. Squeee, if I am dead good that could be this week/early next.

7lbs and 200 squats is amazing, well done. I only managed 50 squats yesterday, am aiming for 100 today with the addition of holding tinned tomatoes to try and un bingo my wings. I am really craving peppers and carrots, am taking it as a good sign that we are craving healthy things? Hope you...

First official weigh in today and am 9lbs down. Am delighted. Have worn a dress I wouldn't normally wear to celebrate (with Spanx obviously ;)),

Thanks Katie, sounds like you had a great weekend too. Its amazing we let ourselves get in that rut, but it is so easy, the diary and people on here really help. It was definitely a cross roads for me, am even thinking about starting online dating in a few weeks. Next weekend is tricky as away...

She sounds like a total cow, just remember that everytime you see her you will be thinner and thinner and she will still be an evil hag no matter how thin she is. I was having a conversation with someone about how hard it is meeting guys in your mid 30s and she said it must be especially hard...

Good to hear you are all still losing even with adding the odd meal in here and there. I have postponed weigh in till tomorrow morning so I keep using the same scales, am hopeful of at least 7lbs for week 1. A stone in 3 weeks would be amazing, I would probably even cry.

Hope everyone has had a good BH in between dodging the showers? Tough going for me sticking to 100% as I was away staying with family, however they were all really good and I asked them if they wouldn't mind ignoring me at mealtimes and just letting me stick to my soups and shakes and they were...

Thanks Katie you guys have really helped me get through today, at 6 I very nearly went to the shop to buy junk. Nearly 10pm now, I have coped pretty well, am beginning to identify 'danger' hours. Hope you have a great weekend in those size 16 jeans, they will be 14s before you know it x

Hi Susie, thanks for the tips, having this forum to vent and get inspiration from is so helpful. I have actually got things every few weeks, so plenty of reasons to keep going and hopefully friends and colleagues who haven't seen me for a while will notice my shrinkage and that will help me to...

That's a gorgeous dress, look at that waist!

I can't wait to hit the 12s again, I think it is a couple of weeks off for me though. Am going to be in bed by 8:30 I think this evening to stave off temptation

Friday night is tough and its not even 7pm, luckily someone just mailed some pictures they took of me where I look like a hulk compared to the women I was standing with. Resolve reaffirmed, I can totally do this. Will keep looking at pics whenever I am thinking about going off plan.

Hi Cate - you are doing so well and thanks for reading, a stone already, have you set yourself mini goals/rewards to keep yourself motivated?

Hi Arya - Great to hear from you. I actually feel great, also on day 5, if I overlook the wine last night. I know it sounds stupid but I already feel like walking is easier and my energy levels are up, my concentration is still pretty shocking but I suppose all Exante can do is make us thin, not...

Hi am new to the forum today but just wanted to say a massive well done, I think regaining your wardrobe is as exciting as buying new stuff. I have 3 dresses I keep trying on, one is about an inch off doing up, one about 2 and one that says size 14 but I believe to be a cruel trick. I cant wait...

AM writing this for the same reason as everyone else, to capture my reasons for being here and hopefully to help me stay focussed and motivated. I started this diet on Monday and was 100% until last night, first time someone offered me a glass of wine and I just caved, no coercion on their...

Hi Ella I just joined the forum today and am just nosying through a few threads for inspiration. You made me laugh, I am doing the squats thing too, whilst I am waiting for the kettle to boil, while I am on the phone, even when I am on my own in the office. 200 is pretty amazing though, I did...
