Hi Bexster Good luck with the plan!! There is so much to choose from isn't there? When I did Exante previously there was a choice of four shakes and that was it... It's a good time to be losing weight as the finer weather isn't far away now. Enjoy your week and have a fantastic Tuesday start...

We all lapse Sammy, get straight back on the horse and you'll be back on track instantly. Well done for your weight losses to weight, 12 lbs in 2 weeks is great going. XX

Have a low carb meal if you need it, a bit of chicken and salad can lift you oodles. Good luck with your journey, great reasons to lose the weight and feel fabulous again. XX

How are you feeling now? Have you managed to shake the man-flu? X

The lemon cheesecake shake is a bit yum. :) Well done on your weight loss. 30lbs in 8 weeks is great... more than two stones in less than two months. FABULOUS!! XX

How did your weigh in go? I have had my hands wrapped around a hot mug of black coffee most of the weekend. I now have two jumpers on... this ketosis m'larky is soooooo chilly.

Well your losses are great so the products you are limited to appear to suit you. Unlike you I am intolerant rather than allergic so the side effects are uncomfortable rather than seriously threatening however being migraine free is bliss and worth checking the ingredients list on the back of...

Gluten gives me very bad migraine, brain fog, tinnitus, acid reflux and painful wind downstairs. When I stopped gluten my migraines all but ended within a month, the tinnitus stopped even quicker and my digestive system improved greatly. There is such a large choice of gluten free junk food...

Try a couple of days on shakes only as a fast boost. I find them so sloshy and filling I don't think I have felt hungry at all. But don't give up, you have come so far and done so well, you can see your body responds fabulously to weight loss... you do look amazing. (I am well jel.) ;) XX

Wow! You look fabulous on your Feb 2016 photograph. What a huge difference. Well done you. XX

enlightenme2 said: ↑ How are you doing Allyours? I didn't drink my weight in alcohol (I'd be dead by now :rolleyes:) - but I did slip. Back on the wagon since yesterday - How's the weekend? It has not stopped raining here I have had a couple of slip-up days and they don't greatly affect...

I have had a couple of slip-up days and they don't greatly affect losses if I get straight back on track. How did you feel with alcohol+ ketosis? I had such a bad hangover a couple of years ago after very low-carbing and three large glasses of wine. I thought I was dying all Sunday lol. Weekend...

83 days to go It makes me feel better that just about everyone meets the odd bit of resistance from others... unusually it is making me more stubborn to stick to my plan and drop these three stones in 100 days. I am pleased to say I lost 5lbs this week and so I am on track :DI need to lose...

I can't believe the difference of sizing in shops. I have size 12 tops that fit me from M&S and size 18 trousers from Zara that are too snug. So like the other ladies I try not to look at sizing and focus on what I can see happening in the mirror. Fingers crossed for you getting in to the 12s...

Well done on handling the stress with true grit rather than food (that is my usual go to as well) you are doing fabulously well. Have you got a nice relaxing weekend planned?

I know you can follow Slimming World when pregnant and breast feeding. Five lovely children, lucky you... busy but blessed. XX

85 Days To Go Thank you. :) Yes the 100 day countdown keeps me focused on the goal... it is almost like ticking sands and I don't have time to use my usual excuse of 'I'll start again tomorrow.' I think I have got into the rhythm of Exante now and apart from the odd bit of chicken when I feel...

Well done on your great weight loss to date. And welcome to Exante... I haven't tried the rhubarb and custard shake yet, that is next on my to do list. :)

:woohoo:CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Exante can wait. ;) xx

Wow Roxie what a difference and you have a lovely in proportion figure too. Great inspiration to get there again. Good luck. X

Have a great evening, it will be amazing!! Well done for the 8 pound weight loss, a great start. XX

Yes I feel very lucky, she is four and skips into school. Some of the other mum's have tearful children clinging to their legs and the mum's look almost as distressed as the kids. It makes it easier to get on with your day as you say. You have some willpower not getting on the scales. I...

87 days to go I woke up this morning with a grufty headache... a side effect on VLCD. Then I said to myself... no, you definitely wake up with a headache once a week Liz without being on a VLCD so maybe a side effect from sleeping in a poor position. You see, I have started arguing with my...

You look great in your photograph... very slim. The before piccie is amazing... it doesn't even look like you. XX

Well done for getting back on plan... that is what matters, not turning the odd splurge into a permanent arrangement. The 3lbs will probably be gone by tomorrow and then you can start burning that fat again. How are the headaches today? A lot better I hope. Have a great day. XX

Well done on the loss this week, I lost 2lbs too. :D I get a little high from the 'empty stomach feeling' that just having shakes gives you... tis odd but I like it. Here goes week three, good luck!!

Well done on the 3lb loss this week... and hopefully you shall be in the 12's this week. A great place to be! I can't wait to join you. X

Your weight losses are fabulous Clover, you must be thrilled. XX

I find I need so much less sleep when low carbing, I can wake up at 4am full of energy... flagging a bit by 8am though. :rolleyes:

Well done on the two stone loss, that's fabulous!!

88 Days to Go I am feeling quite steely at the moment. Even though I had a couple of days that were carb fuelled, I still managed to drop 2 pounds which has set me up for a good week. I could double that loss this week if I stick to total solution. I have no meals out this week and I have...

:0clapper:Fabulous first week, well done you. Keep up the great work. XX

89 days to go Yes Ladies, thank you. I am back on it, feeling positive and not hungry at all. Two shakes down and one to go... :)

90 days to go. A bit of a naughty weekend for me, the less I say about it the better. Onwards and upwards, I can't let two slightly splurgy days spoil my weight loss plans. Watching Saturday Night Fever at the moment... shocking dance moves, surely they were never in fashion!! :eek:

Had a sneaky mid-week weigh in, I haven't lost a pound. A bit miffed but it is my own fault getting on the scales early. I shall up the water, stick to three shakes and see what weigh day brings. Have a great weekend little chickens. XX

I have always found motorbike jackets to be cut exceedingly small... and do the ladies jackets consider we have boobs? Erm no. Enjoy your new bike... lucky duck!

The 12's are my magic number, I stop feeling fat and feel relatively comfortable. I do hope to hit the 10s eventually but I am all focused on the 12s at the moment. 10lbs to go!! How many pounds until you're in the 12s? Enjoy the cinema... try sparkling water, it's more filling lol. ;) XX

Great losses to date, well done you. XX

Well done on reaching the half-way point... all down hill now. You can do this. It is definitely your mind playing tricks. Do you ever have those days when you look at your face in the mirror and happily think; I look quite attractive today and then the very next day you pass the same mirror...

I'm doing TS with the odd lean and green meal when out socialising. I am hoping to lose three stone by May... no I am not hoping I WILL lose three stone by May. :D

He sounds even uglier on the inside Manda. You will do this for you and be looking fabulous by April indeed. Keep up the good work. XX

Welcome on board and good luck with your weight-loss journey. Children's parties can be difficult as they rarely have any pure protein choices. I tend to take a bottle of sparkling water and sip on that. Focus on the end goal, you can be slim and slinky by Summer:) but take it one day at a time...

92 days to go Thanks ladies. :) I had a nice evening out; tuna and salad followed by soda water (I did miss the slice of lime though.) So I stuck to lean and green and I don't think I came out of ketosis as I still aren't particularly hungry. I made the mistake of telling a rather plump...

95 days to go Busy bee today so just a quick update. A birthday dinner out this evening, so I am hoping to keep things lean and green and no alcohol. I can resist anything but temptation. :) Straight back on Exante tomorrow. Have a lovely Tuesday evening all. X

Lemon cheesecake and blueberry, it tastes like black cherry yog.

LOL! Love the Big F You. I have a few of those to hand out post weight loss. Your iron will sounds great Manda... you go girl. x

Fabulous losses... well done you. I hope the headaches have passed and you're feeling better. Lizzy x

Good luck!! Lots of new shake flavours to try... love the coconut one and lemon cheesecake. :very_drunk: Lizzy x

What's your goal weight? I am hoping for anything in the 10 stone bracket and then I'll take it from there. X

In the 13's now (13.11) Yay!! Now on 'Operation Twelves.' :upyours:

I do yes... I have some ginger root in the fridge, quite nice steeped in hot water too (I crush it with the garlic crusher.)

Well done on your weight loss to date, you are doing so well. The cruise sounds heavenly... I am well jel. ;) XX

Thank you muchly ladies... here goes week two, I shall be greedy and say I am aiming for another 6 lbs. :D Lizzy X

You are doing fabulously well... I would LURVE to be 11st 5lbs.:innocent0001: Your plan to enjoy the weekend sounds sensible, drinking and ketosis generally don't go together well... as long as you get back on plan afterwards you should keep losing. Have a great week. Lizzy XX

I eat when angry/upset/stressed, food makes me zone out and relax. When stress comes along and you are on a VLCD, a shake doesn't quite cut it and you have to find other ways to make yourself feel better. So really, it is a great learning experience - finding less destructive coping mechanisms...

Hi Mandi :) I have the same stats as you starting 14st 3 - Lost 6lbs first week. And I too tend to have toilet troubles of the 'slow to go' kind. However I am now taking 'one magnesium citrate' tablet a day and I go easily and every day, even on Exante. It is just the mineral magnesium and it...

As soon as I hit 14 stone I start snoring, I know because I even wake myself up lol. There is a lot of research that says low carb eating cures indigestion and that a lot of indigestion is caused by a high carb intake. Which makes sense for me as bacon and eggs wouldn't make me acidy but toast...

'I will start/restart tomorrow' is my excuse to dive in and carb binge and then the next day I would use the same excuse and as you say, before we know it tomorrow never comes and we have a few stone to lose rather than a few pounds. Well done on your whopping first week loss, keep up the...

I find ginger tea great for keto breath... it just seems to clean the mouth and settle the tum too. Keep up the great work, VLCDs are so hard when you're busy and stressed but if you can do it now, you have cracked it.

I have done VLCD before and found you have to take it day by day; sometimes you feel great other days you're flagging. You're surviving on 600 - 800 cals a day so your body will moan about it every now and again. Be kind to yourself on grotty days - bath and early to bed. Remember the bigger...

96 Days to Go It was my first weigh in yesterday and I lost one pound a day; I lost six pounds!!:) Which I am very pleased with. It appears to have gone from my stomach as my jeans now keep sliding down my backside but the 16s are just a tad too snug in the waistband so this time next week I...

I only do shakes due to being gluten intolerant and try not to have anything too often as I have found I tend to go off them. On the whole they aren't too bad but I can't get over the hot chocolate and ginger shake... very gag worthy. :confused: 98 DAYS TO GO Thanks ladies... feeling positive...

What a difference to your face... the weight loss really suits you and has knocked years off. You must be so chuffed. X

Wow! Lucky you two seeing the filming, I love Red Dwarf. X

Glad to hear you're feeling better. So many colds and infections going around at the moment... roll on March and end of cold/flu season. Liz x

Well done on your weight loss to date. Two stone in five weeks is amazing, you'll be at your goal before you know it. X

I'd love to meet some fellow Miniminners... but will wait until date and place is arranged before I commit. Liz x

Started at 14'3 five days ago... hoping to be in the 13's very soon. :) x

99 days to go Thank you all... the support on here is fantastic. :)I am enjoying reading everyone's diary... feels like having virtual friends going through the same thing. I have now been on Exante for four days... today was transitional day; the headaches lifted at lunchtime and I feel...

Well done on your weight loss to date Smudge. I bet you'll be a couple of dress sizes smaller for your beach hols at least. XX

Hot chocolate and mint shake for lunch which was nice. Last night I had the hot chocolate and ginger shake... it tasted and smelt like wet dog. I don't think I shall be buying that one again. I am on my second litre of sparkling water... and peeing well.

9am - Breakfast was a lemon cheesecake shake. Very lovely indeed... Now for a black coffee, a litre of sparkling water and some housework whilst the wee one watches Cbeebies from her sofa-bed. x

100 DAYS TO GO I have been on one diet or another for the last twenty years; like a lot of folks I lose a few pounds, become disenchanted with the diet, fall off the wagon and then gain those lost pounds back plus a few more to boot. I tend to use food as comfort when stressed or upset so some...

Peppa Pig

The one thing I can't give up is coffee. :( Nasty withdrawal headaches.

No I definitely won't .... no custard in the house andI'm no going shopping today. TPBM will be watching Xfactor.

One pound to go to get into the 13s.... I'm focusing hard. :cool:

I know the feeling Poppy... I have zero energy and I keep wishing the day away... I can't wait until bedtime. xx

Hello ladies :) I would love to join the October challenge... as it's my first month I shall aim for 21lbs. Very ambitious but doable if I don't have any off days. Good luck everyone. xx Sleek Chick: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 10lbs Total loss:????? Whimsyfae...

Feel tired, hungry and headachey this afternoon, day three, the hardest so far. I am looking forward to bedtime... once LO goes to bed it will be bath, Xfactor and then bed for me. I had a slice of chicken this morning... all of 30 calories and no carbs but I didn't want it to be the start of...

I have just read your diary.... excellent weight loss and keeping fit regime, you have done so well. Hope you're feeling better soon. xx

Well done on your weight loss so far Poppy.... excellent numbers. xx Get straight back on to plan today and have a lovely Sunday. xx

I am having the toffee caramel shake for brekkie at the moment.... it tastes like a weak butterscotch Angel Delight... not great but drinkable. El x

I am enjoying the freedom from food.... being an emotional/boredom eater I am having to find other coping methods when I feel stressed or bored. Not having to worry about food is very liberating. I think this is an ideal way to break my binge eating cycle, 12 weeks of shakes and the odd bit of...

Thanks Whimsey. :D I agree with you... my stomach feels flatter already, very empowering, I shall use that for motivation. xx Did I really say I don't suffer from carb withdrawal flu? I woke up this morning with a killer hangover type headache... urgh! Still I know that means a good thing in...

Flagging a little at the mo... I have had my second shake, 2litres plus of water. I am fed up of black coffee and my legs are aching (2 hour walk around shops with Nephew and then bowling.) I am looking forward to getting LO bathed and put to bed so I can chill in front of the TV tonight. I have...

I woke up this morning feeling good... stomach is growling (it's a strangely powerful feeling) and when I stepped on the scales I have lost 3lbs overnight so I shall use this loss to spur me on. (Yes... I am one of those dreaded daily weighers. But I only get weighed first thing in a morning...

Oh... and I am one litre of water down (one to go) I have had three black coffees and I may have a ginger herbal tea later (if ginger is OK on this plan.)

Thanks Pheonix (good luck with your journey too) I have read that day three and four are the most difficult on a vlcd but for me it is that first day. My carb-fiend says 'it's only day one, have a biscuit/bag of crisps/cream cake and start again tomorrow' I find diets harder to break once I have...

Thanks for the moral support ladies... much appreciated. :) My shakes arrived at 11am... I have just had my first, strawberry.... quite tasty I think. I am also sipping from a 2litre bottle of mineral water and shall have three or four coffees throughout the day too. My toddler didn't sleep...

Hello there I start Exante tomorrow after coming to the realisation I don't have the willpower to count points, work out syns or mess about with calorie counting. I need something simple, strict and regimented and for me that is a VLCD. I am hoping to be on Exante for three months and then...

You are doing so well, stick with it... you'll soon be in ketosis and it will be a breeze. xx

I am hoping to be at goal or very close for Christmas too. Exactly three months to go.... good luck Matt. x

As long as can have a nice Costa coffee afterwards. :D TPBM ... loves Christmas more than summer holidays.
