Well done @Zeus☺️ fair play, you are properly smashing this! How did last weekends weigh in go? I got back on Wednesday last week and was insatiable. Back on it yesterday. The scales showed an 8lb gain for the week that I was away but I'm not disheartened. Sticking to plan in the day and having...

I weighed early this week, usually weigh on a Friday and I had a 2.6lb loss. Total 8 week loss is now at 24.4lbs. Doesn't even feel real! Went clothes shopping last week and got size 14's and they were all too big. Went again last night and got 12's. They fit! I was in a 22 and they were...

They are all really great ideas! Thank you for the boost! It's so powerful knowing that there is someone right there alongside me. How are things going for you? I have 8 weeks left but am really happy with progress thus far. Everyday my colleagues bring in cake and doughnuts and I've not touched...

Woohoo! Massive congrats @Zeus☺️ your totally rocking this! Well done! My work has a meal or planned for Thursday afternoon and I am bricking it! Everything has carbs! 😱

Ketosis on Exante is a tricky topic. It depends from person to person. Typically, a ketogenic diet would keep carbohydrates below 20g a day. A moderately ketogenic diet is 20-50g a day and a liberal ketogenic diet would aim to stay under 100g of carbohydrates. Each Exante product has...

That sucks! Really demotivating too. I understand how you feel @Caroline1980 you should know though that there is no way on God's green earth that it's fat. It's water and yes, probably because of the different products and exercise but it will settle again. Don't lose hope, it's totally...

Hiya both, same here @Caroline1980 life just gets busy! That's great news about your husband. 🤭 The more support the better! The soups I have tried are chicken and leek and red Thai chicken. They were both okay but the first time I had the chicken and leek, I found a dried piece of leek and...

Oh @Zeus☺️ well done! You're always such a breath of fresh air and you are really inspiring! Thank you for being here xx

Hi all! It's the weekend :) I had a -0.1 lb last week, I've had some strange digestive stuff going on too so I am cleaning the slate starting today really. Not that I had come off Exante, I was just following more of a keto diet and less of an Exante plan. We know this works so onwards and...

Woohoo @Caroline1980 that's excellent! They always say that whatever you lose in the first week, you will have to put it back on so having a 14lb loss would be tough! Knowing that it has to go back on :eek: 5.5lbs is excellent! Well done. I was doing some reading (specifically about Lipotrim...

I won't lie, I sign up with a new email every time to make the most of the free delivery 😂 You made that pizza look really nice! Great idea to get the extra in before hand. You'll have the energy to smash it then! Let us know how it goes! It's a big day getting back into gyms!

Today's the day! My stuff from Exante arrives! 3rd parcel and I'm still excited 🥳 shame I have to work and do the shopping really. Have a wonderful Tuesday all 😁

Love it! My motivation has waxed and waned but I'm 6 stone down now and this last stone is going to be the easiest 😁

This is excellent news! Well done for problem solving this as on such a low calorie diet, it's really tough to see a way out other than giving up especially when you're starving! I stocked up on the vegan bars too 🤭 there was a great deal on yesterday morning and I managed to get it! Only for...

I was referring to the advice for the 800, as I think we are all following. Here is the link https://www.exantediet.com/blog/long-read/exante-faqs-can-i-exercise-while-on-an-exante-diet-plan/ Ooh! I need pics @Zeus☺️ are you having one tonight? You must show me how they turn out! I ordered 3...

Haha! Yes, same here. I wouldn't mind a film day with them mind but if they are not out with me, they will be in the garden and I like to keep an eye. I'm back at work tomorrow so looking forwards to the weekend again! Have a great day all!

Very wise. I've been battling with hunger this weekend, same thing really. 2 active children and I'm too stubborn to be left behind! 😂

Almost there to a full week! Well done! I'm sure the first week was more difficult for me. You're right in what you say that it is quite flexible and that helps. You know that the advice on the 800 is no more than 20 minutes of light exercise, right? I know it's a balance and I don't want to...

Woohooo! That's such a huge achievement! Well done @Zeus☺️ I know the feeling on the chocolate. Didn't realise it would be this hard TBH, organised an egg hunt and REALLY wanted to eat one! I saved my Hot Cross Bun Bar for this evening with tea and it did not disappoint. Going to order more...

Oh yay! It was far better, wasn't it? I had one packet left and it made it bearable. I'm on the yoghurt and museli packets and I am OBSESSED! Best product ever. Agreed on the vegan bars too! They are lovely! I had the Mango and passion fruit shake for breakfast and it wasn't the nicest one...

Oh wow, planning ahead much?! Well done, where are you going on Saturday? That is also really helpful! Thank you! I would never have thought of asking Exante, which seems silly. What flavours of the Muscle Mugs have you tried? I've almost placed an order :D That's amazing about your bum! I...

Thank you @AliGal it's great to hear first person experience. Saturday is the first day of week 5 for me so I have a couple of days until I have to decide. I'm just afraid that I will do 12 weeks total (the holiday is 12 weeks today) and I will spend the 4 weeks before I go away undoing all of...

Thank you all. It was so difficult on Monday, I was ferociously hungry and had some extras but kept it keto-friendly. Yesterday was much better and I managed to keep to plan and today the same, despite going to a BBQ tonight - I took my own food! SO proud of myself!! Thank you all for your well...

Oh, you guys, I am sick! I have a nasty head cold and feel awful. I'm so tired and hungry! I've had all of my products already, plus some ham. I hope you are all well and still kicking butt!

Porridge - 100mls hot water and a little cinnamon, ping in the microwave for 30 second bursts - mine took 3 bursts.

Well that's the end of week 3 for me! Heading into week 4 feeling strong. I found the scales. 15.2lbs gone in 3 weeks, very happy with that! Feeling great. I did get weak yesterday when walking but I had forgotten my food! Still hadn't eaten at 5pm. Sweet thing custard with apple sounds...

@Mini are you able to help with this please?

You've don awesome @Ravenous! You've lost over 5st! I think you deserve a massive pat on the back. You must feel so different now compared to when you started. Do you need the number on the scales to be a lb and a half lower? Will it make your life complete? For what it's worth, you've done...

Thinking about placing another Exante order very soon as I am approaching the end of week 3! How are you getting on @Zeus☺️ @SkinnyStarbucksSophia

Loads of people have said that! Thank you 😊 I am so proud, telling anyone really! Thank you too! Also, thank you for the advice on the pack hack. I'm still not sure about the porridge, I may have just received a bad pack. There was no porridge! It was like a warm shake! A weekend project...

I love that you're still on it. Life is tough. It'll happen when you're ready. It's not to see you here though! X

Oh my! I had a really confusing day product wise, ate a bar for breakfast but didn't finish it. Made a shake with a load of ice, went for a walk, found the other bit of my bar in my pocket which was a welcome boost! My youngest son finally rode his bike on his own today! It was beautiful! I am...

Your waffle looks ace @Zeus☺️ how did you make it? I have an iron so may treat myself tomorrow! Went for a lovely walk tonight, in the dark, we were the only ones out, it was divine! Felt better tonight walking than on Thursday so I know now to save my food for before I exercise and I was...

I barely managed that walk, felt exhausted and drained. I think the drastic difference between real food and Exante only helps to separate me from the food. Oh, this is hilarious - yesterday when the family got McDonalds, I was driving so I had to order and take the food. I handed everyone their...

I've not tried the strawberry jam bar yet. My box was very chocolatey! I'm going to have to place an order, I just feel bad, my box is still so full! What are the slender sips about? I could take something nice! The family went to McDonalds and I resisted again. We went out for a lovely walk, 3...

No, sadly not! Just a bar but I still fancy it. Not a huge fan of the bars so far. I did! First shake at 1400. I put psyllium husk in it too and it had solidified (as I made it before I went to work) but I had chosen the lovely cinnamon swirl so it was okay after adding a load more water 🤣 I...

I'm so cheap so I was looking on eBay but it's no cheaper! I really fancy the hot cross bun! Can't wait for that! Wow, 11lbs! That's fantastic, well done! Haha! Same here 🤣 9lb a week would do! No, I've not even heard of it! Where do you get it? I'm going to try and wait as long as possible...

I am going for the 4 weeks initially. 12 is ambitious for me! I will get bored 😂 How are you getting products? Have you just ordered the big box to start? There are a couple that I have and I detest so I'm not sure I would chance it again. Have you tried the porridge? 🤢 I had 4 litres of water...

How's it going Zeus? I've got to admit, this morning was tough! Woke with a headache. Your steak sounded delicious. I just had the three products today, not hungry for anymore. I can certainly tolerate this for another 3 weeks. Also, I crumbled and weighed myself! 9.5lbs after a week. Happy...

Mmmmm steak! I had a tin of tuna.. being really boring, I added hot sauce! Regretted it...I will regret it tomorrow too... What dogs do you have? I have a Collie and he's practically attached to me! 🤣 How was the steak? I've planned to have half a product extra tonight. It is Saturday night...

The red Thai chicken soup is fine. Start there if you have it! I'm out all day tomorrow and probably won't be able to make my shakes. Going to take 2 bars with me. Salted caramel and I think the chocolate caramel or the free one. I will decide properly in the morning. I'm working an extra shift...

Oh that's a relief! I'll get some curries then. That's what some people don't like about the 'meals' the creaminess. It is weird. But certainly tolerable for me! I detest the chicken and leek soup but that is the only soup I don't like. The bars, I have only had three, the chocolate coconut was...

I also ordered the 4 week box, only problem is the stuff I don't like! I might just 'take' it, like medicine. How's the hunger today? Like you said @sweetenuff77 I'm not that hungry anymore. Hubby said I smell so probably in ketosis! Woohoo! It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated that it would...

I had a great day! I'm okay if I plan it out. Headache was intermittent and I did take Paracetamol when I got up but once I was out, I was fine. I tried the chicken and leek soup and that was awful, night before last but last night I had the chicken red Thai soup and it was nice! It's the...

You guys... Day 6 and I woke up skinny. Seriously, I have really deflated. How are you two doing? X

Oh I am definitely in deficit! I only had a meagre 750 calories today! I'm surprised I've not eaten my leg but I'm not feeling too bad. Headache now but I've had a long day. Oh that's nice. I've found that stuff has become more accessible for those who are normally quite restricted so there are...

Good luck tomorrow! Those kebabs get me hungry every time! Yum yum yum! Your food is normally delicious but even more so since I started not eating 🤣🤣🤣

This ^^^

How did your weigh in go @abz?

Even if you don't keep it up, stick around and don't get too hung up on doing the plan perfectly. Even if you substitute one meal a day with a shake, you will at worst, stop things getting any worse! Best case scenario, you lose nice and slowly. I don't think Exante will put me in keto. There...

I didn't like that one either! Good for you for chucking it tho. I ate mine 😔

See this is so lovely and so helpful, thank you! Mini is really easy going and I'm sure would welcome people helping each other out! I did get some Psyllium husk to help me stay regular but I've not needed it yet. April 6th sounds like a fab plan! My Exante packets will probably run out before...

Ok. Thanks for the advice 😊 Congratulations on your excellent loss this week! That week has flown by!

Yes! I am also doing Exante. I am trying to do the 800 plan but decided it would be easier, after reading some forums, to just do 4 products. I'm struggling with the hunger. Yesterday I had 4 products and added half a bar. Today will probably be the same. It's only an extra 100 calories and low...

Oh cool! I got one too and I will look forward to it now. It was really really creamy!

I've not tried my chocolate one yet. I ended up with cookies and cream because I let my son choose! I don't have honeycomb either so I'm excited to hear how that is! Well done today. Strong start 💪

Woohoo! Have you checked out the products that you got? Chosen your meals for tomorrow?! I'm excited for you! I chose porridge for breakfast, shakes for lunch and dinner and a bar as dessert, I like how flexible it is.

Hiya! 👋 Well done yesterday (probably the day before yesterday now!). What happened to make you fall down? I've been really hungry and reading about keto diets to figure out what I should have as my meal once a day. I have had half a bar this evening (I'm just doing 4 products to get me...

O Oh no way! I thought that was what I was signing up for. I will have to check the labels. Is ketosis achieved on no carb then or just very low?

Oh, nice! I have everything crossed for you. I've not long started a new plan and I'm highly anxious about succeeding. Not done a total meal replacement before!

What plan are you following @Blubell._.0422?

Me! I started yesterday but took advice to start slowly to prevent the keto flu so tomorrow will be my first 100% day. I've never done it before so pairing with a pro will work out well for me! How are you getting on?

Thanks @Ravenous I have continued to follow your journey and you are still doing incredible. You are a real inspiration and I admire your determination.

Hello all! I hope you're well. I have a holiday booked (super secret surprise birthday party for my husband who is turning 40) and I will be in a swimming costume so I am doing Exante until I go to give me a boost. It is also our 10 year wedding anniversary this year too! Exante starting...

Super hungry today B - Oat and hazelnut bar (200) L - I made oats and fruit but while it was baking I grabbed crisps and 2 crackers with patè (600) D - Vietnamese spicy pork, rice and cucumber (400) S - Chocolate bar, small and an ice lolly tin of pineapple. I know I will eat too much today...

Unfortunately clearing out the freezer is the never ending job! I really enjoyed my oats and fruit casserole today, thank you!

That fruit and oats casserole has inspired my lunch tomorrow! I can always rely on you for ideas :)

Thank you! Yes, psychotherapy, that's the route I want to go down. I got refused last year because I didn't have enough experience. I'm not sure when I start yet but I am excited! I am very excited about the job interview! It's an awesome opportunity! :) I've started enjoying food again...

Thursday! What a day! I had an interview yesterday that I had forgotten about so didn't plan. I heard today that I nailed it and got into university to study my masters degree. I also heard from the lady who is interviewing me week after next and I am going to meet her next week. Busy day work...

I *have* to tell you this story - So weigh day on Tuesday - I weighed 193 the week before, I had a tough week with hubby hitting his goal weight, my injury, people around me, etc etc. so I didn't expect to make huge leaps. I was only looking at the last digit, hoping for a 1.something or a 2 at...

Whooooo! Congratulations :)

Thank you @Mini I'm feeling really motivated again and eager to get to Christmas now! Thank you @Ravenous You're so considerate and kind. I really enjoy being around you (even digitally!) and you spotted that I am approaching my 3st mark, bonkers, it only feels like yesterday I signed back in...

I had my usual day off yesterday. Woke this morning and really wanted to go out so I ran a short section and then took an uphill section to keep my HR up but help me to take it easy on my pelvis. It seems to be settling down now. Food - OMG, I tried these new bars today! They are delicious and...

Got a bit down with having to restrict exercise also had a bad week at work. On Thursday I ran out of empathy and energy for anything. I had a growing migraine so I had to go off sick from work. Friday morning, I still had a pain in my head and I was really fuzzy, I knew that more time in front...

Congrats @mistyangel 3lbs is awesome! Thank you all so much for your kind words. I was in disbelief and just hoping that it wasn't water loss etc. (as we all do after a big one!) It works out at about an lb and a half per week for the weeks that I STS so I'm really hoping it will stick. Thank...

7.1lbs very unexpectedly lower on the scales this morning. I have basically STS for a couple of weeks with injury and whatnot so I am in shock! Mini - 3lbs/36lbs Lisa - 0lbs/18lbs Miss Scarlett Blue - 4/31lbs Charlotte_k - 5lbs/45lbs Katherine12 5lbs/54lbs Ana G - 0lbs/36lbs Ravenous -...

@Blubell._.0422 Fantastic start to the challenge! Well done :) @Ravenous How do you do it every week? I can't attain losses as good as yours even though I have so far to go. You've smashed your initial target and just keep pushing! Well done, you're amazing!! @Katherine12 5lb is awesome! Well...

Really hungry today B - Plums (180) L - Salmon salad wrap and an ice lolly (572) D - Chorizo and cod stew with cous cous (582) S - 10 cal jelly and squirty cream (25) and 2 nut buttercups (178) Tried to do my run on the treadmill but I hated it. Managed half a mile, then I took the family for...

Ran this morning. Did exactly 1 mile as it was uncomfortable. B - None. I always find this after exercise, I just want to hydrate. L - Salmon Salad (266) D - 2 tortillas, salad, chili and cheese sauce (804)

@charlotte_k thank you! I'm just pleased I got over my blip relatively quickly and didn't lose too many rewards! I envy your consistency, you seem to always be on top form 💪 @susienoz wow! 3.6lb, that's awesome! Well done :) :wee: @Dolly Rocker thank you! I'm going to be known as the...

Hello again all! I hit my lowest ever weight a couple of weeks ago and had a bit of a shaky week followed by fracturing my pelvis falling down the stairs. Long story short, I am back in the game. I am aiming to get into the 12 stone bracket by Christmas so I am going for 17lb, 1lb a week from...

Thank you @charlotte_k you're really smashing this! I've decided that I'm a turtle, slowly but surely, I will win the race! I've just seen the Christmas challenge too! I'll see you there :) For anyone else that hasn't found it...

2.7 off for me but don't get excited, I put on 2.3 last week. Pleased to be back on track after my injury though! Awesome work everyone! This challenge is so motivating! Thank you all <3 Miss Scarlett Blue - 13/20lbs Ravenous - 5/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 154, Target: 147)...

Weigh day, back down to 193 so focused and planning my week ahead again!

I'm still alive. Just been in a lot of pain and not tracking food at all. I am back on track as of yesterday. Not getting urges to eat everything in sight now, which is a relief because it was so strong, I was scared it would never end and I would be back where I started. By everything in sight...

Very sensible not weighing for a while! You've done awesome and you know what you are doing so just enjoy the freedom of eating out this week. The dinner at the Russian restaurant looks divine! You deserve every bit!

Thanks @Ravenous it is pretty painful. I'm hoping it is just part of my journey and something that will make me want to stick to good foods for longer. I think I will always diet in waves, this is just one of many such waves! Hope you're okay!

Well done all! I lost mental focus this week and have gained 2.3lb. Lost 2 of my weight loss rewards and my 2 stone sticker. I think I'm more devastated about that than anything else! Miss Scarlett Blue - 12/20lbs Ravenous - 5/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 154, Target: 147) Lisa -...

Slipped and fell down the stairs yesterday, have fractured my pelvis but it is stable so I am very lucky. My scales are showing 195.7 from 193.4 so a 2.3lb gain. Not the biggest gain I've had in a week and I know it's not completely attributed to my fall (probably not at all) I slipped back into...

Ugh, Still here! Just... ugh. Weigh in Tuesday was 0.8lb. Yesterday I stuck to my plan all day but had a bit of a binge in the evening. Today I've been feeling really really hungry which I am certain is hormonal. I'm not a chocolate person at all. I've had 2 chocolate bars. But, when I went to...

Well done guys and gals :) Another 0.8 for me this week, totally happy with that, I think I am on track for 11lb in 11 weeks! Eek! That's almost a stone! :) Miss Scarlett Blue - 9.5/20lbs Ravenous -7/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 152, Target: 147) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k -...

B - Nothing super busy and got up late L - Salmon salad D - Chinese pork curry

So I've reached my fist big goal and I am back down to the lightest I've ever been. From here, it's all new territory and I'm excited. Had a couple of days of being more relaxed but my head is in the game. I'm ready to smash the last 50 odd lbs lol! Like it's going to just happen. I'll get out...

B - Cherry Bakewell Porridge (253) L - Bits and bobs, difficult to quantify as I was cooking for others and liberal with the tasting (?) However, I didn't have anything myself and I went for a walk instead! (300) D - Roast Pork Dinner (650) S - Chocolate (200) Ice lolly (150)

The weekend again! B - Wheat Crunchies (124) L - Wrap (301) D - KFC Zinger Ricebox (480) S - Another wrap (301) Yum! 90 cal popcorn bar

Welcome back Kaysa. It's really good to see you here. I think my biggest learning point in all of this is to just keep going and you just keep getting back on the wagon. Well done you. Seriously, showing up for yourself again has got to be the hardest part. 💪

Today B - Pineapple (175) L - Salmon salad with salad cream (269) Snack - Nature valley peanut bar (150) D - Dan Dan Noodles with stir fry veg (700) Kitkat (104)

Forgot to post on Tuesday and was out all day yesterday. 1.9lb for me this week. Miss Scarlett Blue - 7.5/20lbs Ravenous -7/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 152, Target: 147) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k - 17lbs/33lbs rsr96- 3/24lbs Fiesta Lady - 0/30lbs SteampunkChic - 3/16lbs Larissa...

Wow! Well done again @charlotte_k

Wow! Didn't realise I was AWOL all weekend! I was super busy and had a blast! Saturday we went up into the forest and I stuck to plan all weekend. Both days I did 1000 cal+ exercise and I didn't eat all of them back XD I did make Yorkshires yesterday though yum! Today - B - Porridge with...

Weigh day and down by 3.2lbs this week (as you rightly said!) I'm also 0.1lb away from being overweight and NO LONGER OBESE!!! The scales were a tad temperamental this morning and one weigh was 195 but I settled on a higher one because that would be too much to lose! I just hope that it's not...

Finally, a move in my weight (It feels like that)! I lost 3.2lbs this week. Miss Scarlett Blue - 4.5/20lbs Ravenous -6.5/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 152.5, Target: 147) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k - 15lbs/33lbs rsr96- 3/24lbs Fiesta Lady - 0/30lbs SteampunkChic - 3/16lbs Larissa...

It was really nice, thanks for asking @Strawberry Madness. I've not seen this flavour before either. I would recommend. Had a slip this evening, ate ham and plums but needed more, so I got an apple but only had half, then I ate some pistachios. Then I ate half a bag of BBQ peanuts. I'm hoping...

Thanks both 🥰 B - Nothing, I knew lunch and dinner would be on the heavy side L - 1 sausage, tinned tomatoes and a slice of eggy bread (450) S - Walking snack (89) D - Steak, potatoes, veg, bit of horseradish and half a tub of ice cream (770) That's probably it. I hope so anyway. I'm full and...

The Chinese got me this morning. Had a rib and 1 and a half prawn crackers but obviously was still hungry. I had a breakfast bar and 1 and a half plums (361) L - We ran out of lettuce! (Not something I would have previously regarded as a mentionable) Salmon fillet with a little salad and 2...

I find running so boring and I think it's pointless! Hate it! B - Porridge with blueberries (166) L - Salmon and salad (204) D - Chinese takeaway (1500+) Obviously over again today, and Garmin is down so I don't know how many calories I burned running. Not enough, I have a poochy belly from...

Yesterday's run was more like 10 minutes. I thought 15 was really really slow for me. I managed another run today. I've not properly washed, shaved etc. In a long time so after my run I had a really nice shower! It felt awesome. B - Porridge with coconut milk, blueberries and honey (158) L -...

Thanks @Ravenous :) Oh, I almost forgot, so I did go for a run. I am only doing 1 kilometre but I'm giving it all that I have. I can for sure commit to that for a bit. Today was the second one. I ran it in 15 mins 45 seconds - atrocious time but I have started working on it :)

Thanks for the understanding and support @Ravenous B- Banana (105) L - Smoked Salmon, salad and garlic ginger and chilli dressing (230) D - Chilli and Rice (395) Then... I made a cake and had a little nibble to see how it was (100) and a sip of a mocktail (20) I think I've cracked my...

Thanks both! @Strawberry Madness @Ravenous From how my body feels, I am inclined to agree but by no means was I "good" or watching what I was eating. I did do an enormous amount of work, tiling, so very busy. I am going to try and get back into posting here because I don't think it helped that...

Hi all! So inspiring to see the dedication and determination here! Well done :) I gained 0.4lb this week Miss Scarlett Blue - 4.5/20lbs Ravenous -6.5/12lbs (Start of challange: 159, Current: 152.5, Target: 147) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k - 12lbs/33lbs rsr96- 3/24lbs Fiesta Lady - 0/30lbs...

Weigh day and I put on 0.4lb. It's expected as I didn't track this week and had some wonderful, really enjoyable days out with my family. My body feels good and I've had some very kind compliments too. Onward and upward :)

I know! It's flying by, isn't it?! I know it will slow as I get lighter but this is good for now :) Thank you! Hope you had a great day too :) I'm exhausted tonight, COVID (whilst horrible) has offered me many opportunities and now I have 3 jobs. Spent all day yesterday tiling the bathroom as...

Weigh in day! 1lb off (198.9) Happy, a loss is a loss but I did have a sneaky weigh the day before and it wad almost a 3lb loss! Hopefully see that next week. This does solidify my "under 200lb" status. Aiming for under 196 next week, even if it is ambitious! Hope everyone has a great week! :)

My little reward for getting out of the 200's. Also read through this https://www.obesityaction.org/wp-content/uploads/Benefits-of-5-10-Percet-Weight-loss.jpg It's great to acknowledge our achievements and 10% is an excellent milestone.

Thank you @Ravenous! You've got a couple of days to go yet so don't worry too much about it. You've come such a long way and you know what you are doing :) It is tough but I am really enjoying the second job. Keeps my hands busy too :D

2.3lb off for me this week. Miss Scarlett Blue - 4.5/20lbs Ravenous -3/10lbs (149/156) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k - 6lbs/33lbs rsr96- 3.5/24lbs Fiesta Lady - 0/30lbs SteampunkChic - 3/16lbs Larissa 5.3lb/22lbs Chelseyw101 - 0/20lbs KariM 0/8kg Nix1 5.5/22lbs Pratainua 0/ 7lb Manxy 0/10lbs...

Thanks @Ravenous it was quite plain but enjoyable. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not getting as many pictures as I used to but I am now working 2 jobs and 50+ hours a week, so won't give myself a hard time 🤣

Weigh day - 199.9 2.3lb lost. Excellent result! Weighing on a Tuesday is definitely working better for me.

B - None, went to work L - Salmon Salad, no dressing (340) Snack - Popcorn bar (90) and a black coffee D - Chicken and rice (498) S - Kitkat chunky (211)

B - Nectarines (240) They were going bad quickly L - Salmon Salad and wotsits (395) D - Chicken dinner (550) S - Chocolate (140) We went to the beach! Omg, the first time this year and I've missed it SO much! It was lovely

I actually slept (properly)! Yesterday I managed 6 whole, undisturbed hours and oh my, it feels amazing! Yesterday's food - B/L - Bacon, mini chipolata, tinned tomatoes and eggs (518) D - Sirloin and veg (900) Estimate as I couldn't get proper figures D - Cherry cake, made with the cherries...

Only just got in from work. B - Grapefruit and a Fibre One Popcorn bar (172) L - Omlette that went wrong, still not managed to nail a good omlette on this new cooker. Followed by a Fibre One Popcorn bar and then an early afternoon snack, before work of coffee and a Popcorn Bar with a tsp of...

The kebab looks yummy! How did you make them? I like to make from fresh where I can and especially where I can save calories! The weather has been horrible here all day, I hope it doesn't come to you tomorrow.

Went for a walk and found these 1.5 kilos! I'm going to be busy with these tonight 😁

Thanks for sharing @Ravenous I will check them out next time I go in. I've been particularly hungry today B - Porridge with fruit and honey and a nectarine at about 11 (297) L - Salmon salad and a popcorn bar (381) D - Fish pie (545) A - Curls and a kitkat (194)

Well done everyone! Especially on the STSs when rums guffaw been tough. I had a bit of a wobble and have changed my weigh in day from Friday to Tuesday. So this weigh in is for 11 days, not 7. Lost 1.9lb. Miss Scarlett Blue - 4/20lbs Ravenous -3/10lbs (149/156) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k -...

Thanks @Ravenous were they about the same texture too? I am like this too! That is why I normally have 5 meals a day. Keeps my "grabby hands" at bay. They don't discriminate and will stuff things into my mouth eg; the children's lunch (before they get it) along with anything that stays still...

B - Pink Lady (72) L - Salmon Salad (268) D - Chilli with the usual complement of Tabasco (426)

My reward for getting below 14st 7lb (My initial goal).

Your food today looks so tasty! The kebabs are always tempting for me, they look so yummy. Have you still got the box for the brownies? I'd like to get some too, love saving money me! I did the shopping tonight and there was so much meat and fish reduced in Lidl, the freezer is packed, for the...

No one is infallible. The journey of weight loss is life changing, ridiculously difficult at times and also confusing but rewarding. It's been a tough week and 3 days and it's felt a lot longer. I started the week feeling really defeated and genuinely believed that I would never get below 205...

Thanks, @Ravenous! No, not really. I am still a meat eater but trying to get more fish in, consistently. I am quite settled into my food routine now. Which is probably a factor in my absence here. I usually have fruit for breakfast, porridge if I am really hungry. 5 lunches a week are salmon...

B - Nectarine (70) L - Salmon salad (470) D - Poached smoked Basa fillet with potatoes, vegetables and homemade parsley sauce (330) S - Tracker bar (120) Fibre One popcorn bar (90) Started a new exercise regime today. Hoping that my mood will lift, the more I do.

Not off the wagon! Just seriously busy. I will update ASAP. Hope you're all keeping safe and well x

Thank you @Ravenous and @Fitatforty1 onwards and upwards! B - Blueberry porridge (152) L - Salmon and eggs (356) D - Chinese meatballs and noodles (531) S - M&S Quinoa waves and a pot of jelly (98) Under for today and tomorrow I have an awesome day of walking and picnics planned! Have a great...

B - Fruit and honey (72) L - Salmon salad (307) D - Chicken dupiaza with pilau rice (501) I've been struggling with the weeks feeling fragmented for a few weeks now. I've decided to move my weigh in to Tuesday (shopping day) and I will be skipping this one. I'm also not weighing everyday...

That sucks! Although more common than one thinks. Artificial sweeter (or anything) is awful, full of nasty side effects and doesn't even taste that good! I hope it's an easy substitute for you xx

B - Porridge with blueberries, coconut milk and sweetner (189) L - Bacon medallions, poached eggs and tomatoes (421) D - Roast pork, boiled potatoes and veg (377) S - Peanut butter ice cream (354)

Ah, I see now, you managed to get out on Friday! Well done you :) I despise being cooped up! Food looks awesome! Especially yesterdays breakfast 😋

@Strawberry Madness What is a green cucumber spider?! I'm no good at identification, I just don't like the thin spindly ones from the dark places. @Ravenous oh no! That sucks :( Forecast is heavy rain again today. Is there anything else you can do to clear your head? Like a shower? I couldn't...

B - Fruit and honey (154) L - "Takeout" lunch - Salmon and salad, same as usual! (329) includes my 3pm Snack of popcorn Fibre One bar D - Chicken, potatoes and veg (672) I really struggled to eat this. Fortunately my son helped out! S - Fibre One Salted caramel square (90), Halo Top birthday...

Morning @Chelseyw101 yeah, it's quite normal. 8lb is a HUGE loss and a shock to your body. A STS is probably your body catching up! Well done :)

Thank you, as are you! I hope your headache shifts today and the weather cheers up a bit, maybe even good enough for you to get out :)

Well, based on my schedule of 1lb loss a week, I should be at 211 this week. I have lost 1.1lb and I'm at 204.1. I have also changed a lot of my weight loss rewards, partly due to COVID, lockdown, not going out to work, not being able to access shops to get said rewards and not wanting to buy...

I managed it :D I did have some jelly instead though 😂

1.1 off this week. Sorry if I broke the good losses streak 😂 Miss Scarlett Blue - 2.5/20lbs Ravenous -1/2/5lbs (154/157) Lisa - 0/10lbs charlotte_k - 3lbs/33lbs rsr96- 2/24lbs Fiesta Lady - 0/30lbs SteampunkChic - 1.2/16lbs Larissa 1.1lb/22lbs Chelseyw101 - 0/20lbs KariM 0/8kg Nix1 0/22lbs...

Sure! It's just a normal loaf, no special diet hacks here :D It worked out at 2.88 calories per gram and I had a 35-gram slice, delicious! 100g Butter 175g Sugar (I used a light brown sugar) 2 eggs 225g Self-raising flour (I used gluten-free) Tsp Xantham Gum Tsp Baking Powder 2/3 bananas...

Oh bless you. That sounds horrible. The weather is still terrible here too. I didn't get out today but I don't usually go out on a Thursday. I used the new cooker to bake a banana loaf and it is delicious! Wish I could share xx

B - Fruit and honey (108) L - Sweet chilli salmon and veg with a lil butter and a packet of curls (398) D - Homemade fish cakes with veg and new potatoes (407) D - Banana cake (100)

I always think if I were to date again, I would be terrified 😂 I love your attitude towards it all, nothing quite like a fresh start! Scotland looks so lush and green! I can't wait to be able to visit again and those coos are just too cute!! I saw a horse all tangled up in tree branches once...

Love that you're seeing the benefit of all of your hard work in your clothes too! You've done mega and you're so determined 💪 We had 1 crack of thunder, very disappointing! Hope you managed to sleep! Have a nice day x

Oh wow! Well done again!!! So close, I'm excited for you!! :D :woohoo:

17/06/20 B - Porridge with fruit and coconut milk (199) L - Salmon salad (243) D - Chili and rice (426) S - Fibre One popcorn peanut bar and a bag of Sweet chilli multigrain bites (204)

It's genuinely a difficult balance with exercise/rest though, isn't it?! I didn't want to go this morning and it took me 20 mins to figure out I was being avoidant because it was a bit later than usual and I might see other people (not a COVID thing, just other people). I have a rule now that...

That is a fantastic idea! I use my freezer but I can't help but think that it is massively under used!

I'm glad you're not smashing the exercise every day. Rest is equally important (as is stretching). That Birthday cake Grenade bar looks interesting, not sure if the fudgey-ness (probably not a word) is for me but you're certainly into your cake right now! Glad you've found something that quells...

I got some of those flapjacks last week from Morrisons! I had to give them to the dog in the end because I just couldn't have one! I hope you do better than I did with them 😂 Pink potato! What is this wizardry?! I had a really bony mackerel last week and I'm off them for a bit.

Congratulations on the 2lb @rsr96 an excellent start to the challenge :) Well done @charlotte_k 3lb is an amazing achievement in only a week! 💪 And so you should be pleased @Miss Scarlett Blue! 2.5lb is an awesome start :woohoo: I hope these awesome losses stick around until Friday, I need me...

B - Porridge made with fruit (178) L - Salmon fillet and salad (231) D - Spaghetti Bolognese with cheese (698) S - Coconut yoghurts (229)

Thanks guys! I do love my morning walk. It's not long but it gets me out before work. Oww, exciting news! I am applying for a job. I'm excited to be at a more confident weight if (when 😁 ) I get to interview! Hope you're both doing great!

Thank you @Ravenous it definitely wasn't worth it 😂 B - Banana (105) L - Salmon salad and an apple at 3pm (330) D - Chinese chicken curry and rice (462)

Now then! Let me know what you think of the PBC. I'm not a fan of Reeses but I love PB... If it works out I'll order a truckload 😂 Did you get out today?

Your food looks so yummy! I always find that if I enjoy a meal I feel fuller too :) Hope the weather improves for you soon, it was alright here today :)

I'm so relieved for you! Well done :)

B - Porridge (203) L - 2 pieces KFC and a Costa coffee (797) D - Lamb dinner with no potatoes because lunch (181) S - White chunky Kitkat (207) Nice day! Kinda wish I hadn't wasted so many calories at lunch but I'm still full and bang on calories at close of play. Had a really nice walk that...

Meal 3, best meal! You got to the birthday cake before me! I've not been able to find it 😁 I have to go more than 5 miles from home to the nearest shop and I feel like it would be taking liberties to go even further to a big chain - like Morrisons/Asda/Tesco. I do need dog food today and I am...

That is such an awesome achievement Bert! Well done :)

B - I tried to make the almond butter Porridge and failed. (402) L - Tomato, mushrooms and an Omlette (351) new Cooker so it wasn't perfectly cooked. D - Chinese beef meatballs with rice and veg (479) S - Bueno knock off and 3 jelly pots (150)

It's all thanks to you! You got into my head when you said that I just needed to make it to 14lb then it would fly off! The fat is listening to you! Like the pied piper of hamelin, play to my fat, play!

B - Banana and an apple L - Salmon fillet and salad D - Chicken but off plan. Great accomplishment in that I am having an evening off and not a whole day! Rome wasn't built in a day 🙄😅

I have absolutely no doubt that if you want it, you will get it!

I think we all get that at times, impatience and over eagerness. There's no harm in it because you can recognise it, downhills can be a real hassle for knees though. They are for mine! Wow, those Grenade bars look super chocolatey! I made some lovely nettle and dandelion bars, obviously not...

I think you're doing amazing, especially with everything that is going on. It's very sensible to think that you may have reached your target too. If you're happy now then work on maintenance, being comfortable is what is important! Numbers are just that, numbers :) 💪

Hi all! Thanks @Miss Scarlett Blue for setting this up. Great to see so many familiar faces :) I have 11 weeks until my final weigh on 28 August from today. I would really like to lose 2lb a week 🤞 which would leave me 22lb lighter! What?! Can't quite believe that! That also seems ambitious...

@Ravenous thank you! 3.6lb loss for me this week. Total lost is now 17.7lb in 11 weeks, 6.6 in 2 weeks on CC. Remarkable really when I'm having more calories than the last time I calorie counted. I think my body just really likes 1390 as it is working well for me. Unsurprisingly, I'll be CC...

B - Porridge with fruit (244) L - Sweet chilli salmon fillet and salad and a few tortilla chips (254) D - Salmon fillet with new potatoes and veg and mayo (506) S - 2 Finger Kitkat (107) Spent the morning working and the afternoon ripping out the kitchen 💪

I've had a look at that peanut butter and I plan to get some, when it is back in stock and I have some money! Thank you for the reccommendation.

Welcome back :)

I normally agree 100% with you and @Ravenous on food but this ^^ jelly in pork pies is essential! I get my friend (who is a butcher) to put extra in my pies!!! Love it :D

That burger looks awesome! I too love the idea of the potato bun, like a hash brown yummy! @Strawberry Madness the butter thing, me too. 😂 If I have a jacket potato, I have to have something wet, to disguise the fact that there is no butter, like beans.

So true! It was okay. Weather is miserable here. How about you? Are you settling in okay? X

B - Homemade cherry yoghurt (158) L - Cheese toastie with ham (300) popcorn Fibre One bar (90) D - Chilli and rice. Painfully hot, obviously, and a jelly (488) S - Grapefruit (39) STARVING! I have consumed so much water, I am sloshing. I ate late last night and I gained this morning. I will not...

@Zafira thank you! I can't live without peanut butter! @Ravenous @Strawberry Madness I'm completely the opposite! Love the popcorn, not a fan of the chocolate, too gooey for me 😂

I adore those peanut butter ones! They are awesome in my opinion! Let me know what you think x

Lovely long walk this morning. Sorted my head out. B - Porridge made as yesterday lol! It's really tasty! (212) calories are slightly different everyday because I have different fruits L - Tin of tuna, a tomato and 2 lighter cheese triangles, one went straight in my mouth! (198) 3pm Snack -...

Thank you! It *is* 95% fruit lol, not really porridge! The only reason I'm not moving to Nutracheck is that it isn't compatible with Garmin and I don't think it will be because of Under Armour and Garmin being in each other's pockets. It looks awesome though. That curry is basically chicken and...

B - same as yesterday (mixed summer fruits instead of blueberries and raspberries) (208) L - Peppered salmon salad (234) S - Fibre One Carrot cake (90) not fussed on it. Typically "Fibre One" type gooey cake style bar. Meh. D - Chicken dupiaza with pilau rice (466) S - Ham, cheese string, sweet...

Hello :) I don't think at this point I will be going back to SW. Please can my diary be moved to Calorie Counting Diaries? You probably know but my diary is https://www.minimins.com/threads/if-i-eat-it-ill-snap-it-3.346660/ Thank you

@Strawberry Madness I had a little look at it last night and it looks amazing! I wish some of that functionality was in MFP :(

Where have you been?! Those pics are beautiful! I miss the sunshine already

Thanks! I don't really feel like it's an option anymore. It just *IS* my limit. I haven't tried that CC tool yet. I use My Fitness Pal. Have you tried that one? Weather has been nice today, cold but we got out for a walk. @Zafira Thank you :) @Ravenous Thank you! It was 200g fruit, 20g...

I remained on plan all day yesterday and logged all of my food but abandoned my phone so no pics. Total calories for the day was around 1300, lots of fruit, veg and fluids. B - Porridge with coconut milk and fruit (190) L - Salmon filets and salad (551) includes my 3pm Pink Lady D - Chicken...

Thanks @Strawberry Madness I have smashed the water today and am feeling worlds better! I have told the family that there will be no more takeaways for me but I do still have to collect theirs. Just hope they're not selfish enough to actually make me get them one!

Oh wow, Nutracheck. I will check it out now. Especially if you rate it! Cheers! That pasta looks so tempting!! Well done for remaining determined. I have eaten really badly today and I feel awful like I've been kicked in the kidneys from all the salt and the lack of nutrition is making me...

It is! :)

Doesn't really count (in this thread) because I was on a week of CC not SW but I lost 3lb!

@Manxy64 that's a great achievement! Especially as you've been up and down 👌 3lb off for me this week. Are we going to review the quarantine challenge? We *are* into the third month! SteampunkChic: 5.8/11.5lbs Miss Scarlett Blue: 13.5/15lbs Manxy64: 3/10lbs Teasel: 14.1/11lbs Blubell...

First stone gone! 3lb off. Happy with that. Going to do another week of CC because I think it suits me.

This is bloody awesome! Well done you, being able to wrap your cargo shorts around you after puttin yourself in one leg is PHENOMENAL!!! I wouldn't keep it, I'd make them into 2 pairs of shorts because I'm tight 😂 You should treat yourself though, even though you are still shrinking, just grab...

B - Bacon and Mushrooms (167) L - Salmon and tomato and a cucumber. Pineapple, Fibre One Chocolate cake (Would reccommend!) (456) S - Popcorn Fibre One Bar (90) D - Salmon, rice and veg (484) S - Kitkat and apple (283)

Your food yesterday looks lush! You should totally go in for a swim. I'm looking forward to the bike, how did it go? Just don't do yourself in :)

This is awesome! You've had a tough few weeks AND lost weight!! Well done and good luck settling back down :)

You got your scales back?! Awesome! AND you lost weight while moving! What an inspiration!! Well done @Ravenous

Thanks @SkinnyBunny, I do expect it to slow down but I'm still a lot heavier than you. I'm looking forward to being light enough that it effects how much I can lose! 😁 🌅 @Fitatforty1 Congratulations! That's a really solid loss this week, well done!! :)

B - Banana and a tbsp almond butter (179) L - Salmon fillet and eggs with a nob of butter (412) D - Chilli and rice with way too much Tabasco (for a normal person) I thought it was delicious (670) S - Grapefruit and a Hartleys Peach and White tea jelly which initially smells delicious and all...

Congratulations on an excellent loss, yet again!! :woohoo: What a lovely day out after burning the midnight oil too! That beach looks really serene and those kabobs look delicious! 😋

Again @Blubell._.0422! Well done 😁

2lb is amazing for a tortoise diet (as it were) I am of the same ilk and am taking my time. My plan is 1lb a week, I am scheduled to hit target mid July 2021. Managing my own expectations was my biggest hurdle, I'm sure! Have another great week xx

B - Greek yoghurt with berries and sweetner (181) L - Mackerel salad (531) D - Didn't really have dinner. I did go through Costa and have a little drive up the motorway to charge the battery in the car (128) S - Yoghurt and a jelly (125) Bolognese (387) Total calories (1366)

The chicken may have been woody but it still makes me salivate! I would. Going shopping tomorrow (I get AC for 20 minutes!) and I will be watermelon hunting too! 😂

@rsr96 @charlotte_k @Miss Scarlett Blue Fantastic results all round!!! Studying/deadlines are the worst! When I was submitting essays I would put on lb after lb. That's how we got here! Losing at all while doing that is awesome!!! Well done @rsr96 Smashing it again Charlotte! Excellent...

Woo! Welcome back and what a return!! A whole lb, AGAIN! Where are you now? A microwave?! Wow. You're doing awesome. No more of this "hoping for more"!!! xx ❤

@Ravenous thank you! It was so delicious (if a little overcooked - as I had to cook for 5). I had to go into work again today and I think they are getting frustrated by my relaxed attitude. I'm just determined to not let things get to me. So, not restful but one more day down. Only a year left...

I felt like that yesterday. No appetite either. Have a good day today, hopefully you can shake the sickness xx

Nothing is completely lost. Everyone experiences bumps in the road. Sending hugs! Xx

B - Apple and peanut butter (162) L - Mackerel salad (413) and a nectarine (70) D - Chicken passanda, again! (399) S - Kitkat Chunky (211), 2 plums (60) and a cup of tea (20)

Yesterday I was very busy and apart from a couple of bits of fruit, I didn't stop until dinner. Total calories was 1239

Hahaha! You're hilarious! Now you know how those eggs feel!! 😂

Oooh, you found watermelon! Was it nice? xx

Woooohooo! Well done @GaGirl you nailed it!

Certainly giving it a shot :)

5'6" isn't short! It's a great height and I didn't think you looked chunky in your picture, maybe the 'before' picture, but not after. You've done so so well to get where you are. It's too easy to compare and really unfair as you've worked really hard! xx

Yummy! Perfect food in this BBQ weather! Also- I know what you mean about working from home. It's frustrating being stuck in when the weather is so glorious! Make sure to take as many breaks as you can ❤ xx

B - Frozen fruit and Greek yoghurt (155) L - Mushrooms and bacon egg and tomato (341) S - Can of Fanta on a walk (63) D - Dan Dan noodles and stirfry veg (704) S - Kitkat (104) Total calories - 1399/1390 9 over but I did go for a 3 hour walk, so we should be good!

This! It's amazing for sunburn and the devil's itch. I'm down in Wales and the likelihood of anything other than rain is slim but when that sun pokes through, man is it eager! Your diary looks delicious and the fact that you ahd 400cals left was really nice, a little treat at the end of the day...

I'm looking forward to that curry recipe! and all this talk of watermelon is getting me to want one! I want a decent, sweet non gritty one though. The last one I had was from Lidl and it wasn't that nice. The flan looks delicious today! Have a great day @Ravenous

I did have a few little snacky bits yesterday, we were watching a film and "because it's Friday" after I finished logging. But I don't think I could binge like I used to. I think that kind of lifestyle takes warming up to, practice! Haha! It's funny you say that, when I went for my wedding...

Good! Fair play to you, you made an excellent plan. It always starts with the basics, get those nailed down and the rest is small fry. I did successfully lose 4/5 stone CC in 2012. I started at about 20 stone and got down to high 13's. That was before I got pregnant and there were other really...

I've lost 0.8lb this week. Changing up my strategy for CC (it might be just on a Friday going forward, we'll see.) Have a great week all! SteampunkChic: 5.8/11.5lbs Miss Scarlett Blue: 12.5/15lbs Manxy64: 3/10lbs Teasel: 11.1/11lbs Blubell: 31/21lbs Aaleigha: 6/8 Ravenous: 6/10 lbs (164...

0.8lb for me this week. Happy enough with that as I had my day off plan last Friday and I think that it weakens me for the weekend. I'm going to endeavour to remain on a diet (CC this week) all the way through to next Friday. We'll see what happens. Have a great week all xx

I lost 4/5 stone calorie counting before my first child was born. The thing I did wrong, was eating 1200 calories of chips and snickers so that once I stopped, I hadn't learned anything. Well, I knew how to tolerate hunger! I'm changing my focus this time. It's really all in the planning...

Weigh day came in at 0.8lb this week. Probably heat etc. That's fine. I will put my measurements for this week here - And I am starting calorie counting today! Yay! Only for a week at first, just to change those macronutrients around and keep my body on it's toes.

Excellent idea to mix up the diets. I was contemplating doing calorie counting for (insert currently unspecified time bracket). I've done 9 weeks of SW so might press on for 1 more week then do a 10 weeks on, 10 weeks off thing. Still contemplating. CD is a great idea though. Good luck! x

I would be the same and totally agree. Also me "mmmmm unlimited carbs" 😂 😂 We will learn! Eventually

It's completely normal to have a slump in energy after going so hard at it all day! Sheesh, give yourself a break! You're doing awesome. I would be doing the same, if you've counted the calories for the whole slice then you can jump right in with the eggs. Hmmm, I'm dubious about that and...
