*waves from the house of ill* everyone now has the dreaded cold except my toddler, he started it off, infected us all and shook it off in a few days. It's gone around everyone now, my OH and teenager are still suffering as is the baby. 3 weeks of illness and now I've got it :sigh: its only been...

Urgh the curse of leftover EASTER goodies caught me. 2 days ago, so hopefully today is ketosis day, I'm feeling sore from metafit though, and it's that time of the blimmin month. So I'm not sure if the sore head is from that or from not quite being back in ketosis yet. I'm not hungry though...

Glad you're feeling better xx

I've had another busy week and haven't been on here, ill babies and teenagers, where is your new diary?xx

Angel, not a clue as yet. We're still in the discussing stage, all we have decided for sure is our 2 best friends will be our witnesses. Weighed myself today, 12st7.5lbs. I'm so pleased, 1st7.5lbs to go. Ive had 2 poorly little ones and a poorly teenager last week, my tiny grandson has also...

Thanks Susie x SerialSlimmer I have family in Dunbartonshire x

I cannot get warm today, my toddler is complaining about my cold hands when changing his nappy :confused:

Lol, I did wonder after seeing your Robert The Bruce quote :) thanks, there's method in our madness, I'm divorced and don't want to do the big wedding thing again (also don't want my Mum to want to help pay for it, as she would) and OHs family are a bunch of oddballs so running away and doing...

I love carbonara, I sometimes have slim pasta with it to beef it out (carb free pasta) I love hot coffee and vanilla or chocolate shakes in the morning, they feel like I'm enjoying a latte or a mocha latte. And my favourite bars are double choc, peanut butter or hot cross bun. I can stomach...

I'm with you on the hot cross buns, in fact any bready cakeyness. Hope your day goes well x

Hi, just wanted to wish you luck. The first couple of days are so hard but once you get past that you stop feeling hungry and tired. Before I started I thought that must be a lot of rubbish, an urban legend lol, but it's true, you stop feeling hungry. Stay focused and you'll be there in no time xx

Thanks everyone. I've had a hectic weekend, OH decided to lay our new flooring in the hall and living room, it's a nightmare. And yesterday I took the boys swimming, my 10 month old didn't like it one bit. He clung to me and shook for almost the whole time. We took my Grandson too, he's 3 months...

Hi Angel, hope you're doing well xx

Hey Sheridan, hoping you're ok xx

Just made it into the 12s this morning :D

I've done it, into the 12s this morning :)

I'm in the 12s :) Been very strict for the past week. I got a Fitbit on Saturday, it's very motivating. I even went out for a run yesterday morning with the dogs. It was a bit much for my old girl, she was sick when we got home, poor pooch. According to the app I'm using about 4 times the...

Had pretty shoddy week, today is a new day though. My Mum is restarting today, she's off on holiday in a couple of months. I do find it easier with a diet buddy. Onwards and downwards. Xx Sent from my iPad using MiniMins.com

Very wise words ^^ your weight loss will be easier when you're health is back to normal, it won't be long xx

Sorry to hear you've had upsetting news, hugs xx

Forgot to weigh yesterday, I've been so busy getting the house ready for the new Central heating. But it's final done. The house is in an awful mess, I could cry :(

I weighed in on Monday, I've lost 6lbs, pretty abysmal compared to my first time round weight loss, I guess a restart weight loss can be lower. I'm pleased with it anyway. Onwards and downwards x

DenDen you get it online at Amazon, in Holland & Barratts and from the manufacturer website, I think it's called Eat Water x

I was really worried about restarting, from experience the week after food week was so hard so I thought the fresh start would be the same but it's been great. Hopefully your restart will be as good as mine has been x

No, nothing emotional, just that diet mentality - feel hungry all the time and wanting junk food. I purposely bought 2 bags with the intention of eating one bag before I went home, slipped back into the secret junk food eating. So I'm nipping it in the bud, as long as I have weight to lose a...

Just tried mushroom risotto :( not a fan

PS I moved back onto my exante diary, I'm back doing total solution again x

Hi, I found the Thai chicken soup more bearable with some Tabasco in it (I like spice) and some slim rice (18calories for the whole pack and no carbs) good luck for your weigh in tomorrow :)

Well my little foray into non-exante was rubbish. I was hungry all the time. I missed ketosis :eek: then on Sunday I found myself in the car in Sainsburys car park eating a bag of cookies I decided I've had enough. So I restarted on Monday I weighed myself on Monday morning and I am 13st12...

Hi Angel, it's been ages since I was on here and I'm just catching up. Glad you are home and on the mend now, and well done on your losses, fantastic xx

Lost 5lb on Monday, it wasn't an easy week, I did 2 days of fasting, 2 days of eesp and 3 days of ee. I think I'll just do 2 fast days and 5 EE days and see how it goes. I ate one white bread and egg sandwich at the funeral yesterday, so that was half a slice of white bread. I was very good at...

I've written yesterday off. It seems I'm an emotional eater after all, OHs Grandad passed away. New day, fresh start. I'm going to make chickpea dahl loaf later, I only discovered this after I stopped sw and started exante and I've been champing at the bit to try it out.

Managed to get to group and rejoin, couldn't stay though. Maybe next week. Ive been on no diet for a week, introducing food back (and not healthy food at that). The general weight gain after a vlcd is 10lbs, I've put on 11lbs. It sounds weird to say I'm fine with that, it's to be expected...

New diary in a new section. Ive finished doing Exante, it was great and I lost almost 3st in 3 months. Still got another 2 to go, I've decided to combine the 2 normal food diets I had success with, sw and 5:2. Im hoping to get to group tonight (if the other half finishes work early) and...

Good luck lovely, hope it all goes well and you recover super quick xxx

I'll be checking up on you all :wave_cry: I haven't started a new diary yet, I'm drowning under a wave of housework today but plan to start one on the sw section xx

Hey all, I lost another 4.5lbs so I've hit 13 stone. I'm very happy with that, and I've decided to move onto the 5:2 just now. I'm going to do slimming world on the 5 days then use up my remaining packs on the fast days. Today is the first day of sw, it's amazing how my portion sizes have...

Well done, over 3st, that's amazing x

Ok I've got another 2ish stone to go, going to set myself a January challenge and see how much of that 2 stone I can lose. Then in February (depending on how close I am to the goal weight) I might start intermittent fasting (I liked doing the 5:2 diet before I fell pregnant). Lets see how...

Happy New Year Angel. I've had a lovely christmas and new year, planned 2 days off but that didn't work out :break_diet: I have put on 2.5lb and I'm very happy with that. Today is day 1 of my restart. Onwards and downwards x

Edit: I've just ran up,and weighed myself, I've put on half a pound not 2, yesterday must have done a lot of good :)

Poppy my 20 year old isn't at home anymore, he's about to become a Dad, his girlfriend is due today :eek: so I'm nearly a Gran! My 14 year old is quite good, as good as any teenage boy is lol Angel I haven't been 100% but I'm trying. The boys are sleeping slightly better though. And I've done...

There is a 23 month age gap between them, my eldest is 20, then 14, 2 and 6 months old, I've never done the close age gap thing before but like you, time wasn't on my side, I'll be 41 soon and I decided to get it all over and dome with as soon as possible, lol I'm languishing in a bed I've made...

I will Angel, OHs last job of the year is next Friday, I told him I may go to bed and stay there, I think he thinks I'm kidding :eek: I've been beating myself up a bit about failing, whether it's a big fail or a small one. But it's true, it's hard with kids around, no sleep, the festive season...

My little monkey decided 2.45am was a good time to get up. Took him into my bed and he barely slept another hour. So so tired. And my head is sore, come on ketosis, where are you? :rolleyes:

I've had a few days off, which is fine, except I didn't make good choices. Back on it today, push for the next 14 days 100% before Christmas, maybe I'll make it into the 12s for then. Hope everyone else is going better than me x

When you are up for the day at 4am, 10am feels like lunch time. I dread to think what tea time will feel like *yawn* never mind, 4tspns of coffee in my choc shake should wake me up a bit

Count me in, I think I'll go for 10, it's what I managed in November but again, it's optimistic lol SheridanLM91: Start Weight - 12st 3.3lbs; Current Weight -; Goal Loss - 7lbs; Total Loss - 0lbs Susie58: Start Weight - 14st 3lbs; Current Weight -; Goal Loss - 11lbs; Total Loss - 0lbs...

Today will consist mostly of housework. I'm doing the Penguin Books December book a day challenge, I do love reading. Today it's pick a book on your Christmas list, I'm stumped. Will have to have a think about it. I'm also taking part in the #littlewomenreadalong I remember getting Little Women...

Haha I used to work in Morrisons in Glenrothes, I bet we have mutual friends. I'm from Leven originally, grew up in Kennoway but live in Methil now x

Slight sleep breakthrough, my toddler stayed in his cot all night, it's been weeks of waking and sleeping in our bed. Last night at bedtime he pointed to my bedroom and said Ma bed (he calls me Ma) Unfortunately the baby still woke at 1am and wouldn't settle. He has cut his first tooth so I'll...

I forgot to weigh in yesterday, I think I'll just leave it until next Saturday

Oh no, hope it passes soon. We are still invaded by the sleep thief army, last night was a record breaker. My toddler was up so much I think he'll have a lie in. Unfortunately nobody informed the baby and, regular as clockwork, he woke at 6.10, the exact time OHs alarm goes off on a week day...

Okay, restart time. The dentist was awful, took my tablets to go, came home and ate rubbish. So I had a day off. I ate tea with the family and I was stunned at my portion size (about the same as my toddler's) tiny compared to the old me. So I'm drawing a line under it and getting back on it today.

Yay to the size 16s. I know that heavy feeling, I have it this week. I think it's caused by eating the wrong things and it's my TOTM. I don't know if I will weigh in on Saturday, might just go a fortnight again.

I know some in laws are nice (so I hear, might be a myth) mine are awful. They live 3 streets away and in the first year of my toddlers life they saw him maybe 5 times. You would need to kneecap my mum and dad to make them visit as little as that. Their loss. I like the present idea, give them a...

Back now, had my first shake and feel less hungry. The dentist was running late so we had a 20 minute wait, trying to entertain a toddler and a baby and feeling sick at the smell of the place. But it's done now, he was a little trooper and the dentist said he was better than most. Feeling...

Last night was a bust again, sleep-wise anyway. I'm feeling really hungry today so I think I'm not in ketosis :( Busy day today, my toddler has his first dentist appointment. I generally don't do the kids dentist appointments because I am absolutely terrified of dentists. But OH is working long...

Well done, the dresses look lovely, and well done on this week's loss too x

Hi, well done on the first week's loss, I'm sure you'll be fine this week too

That's a good idea, OH has monster willpower, will get him to do that tonight x

Aw your wee boy is a cutie, what a gorgeous smile. My motivation is when my eldest asked why there are almost no photos of me with him and his brother when they were little. In fact almost no photos at all. (My eldest is 20 now, his brother is 14) And for the past 2 and a half years I've avoided...

Damn it, that's brought a tear to my eye. Thank you, you are lovely, hope you have a nice day too x

Hoping you're doing okay. I had a blip last night through the night during one of the 5 wake ups with the baby, it's been about 3 weeks of illness and broken sleep with the 2 youngest. But today is a new day, if I've knocked myself off that ketosis horsey I'm getting right back on it. You...

Small world, I'm in Fife too. Just going to catch up on your diary x

It was 5 pieces, as soon as I ate them I regretted it and I couldn't get back to sleep (just what I needed when I had been up 5 times with the baby) I'm feeling motivated this morning though. I hate this time of year, christmas sweets stashed away, I know where they are, I put them there! I used...

Awful night, worst yet. And I ate some chocolate :cry: I guess I'm back to square one :(

Glad your little one is on the mend, it's awful when they are poorly x

Pah, lazy day? Us Mums know there's no such thing lol. I had an easy morning but this afternoon has just been a mad rush to do all the jobs I neglected all day. Plus the baby has been a bit sick and off his milk and food. He's still constipated, I think it's the introduction of solids that's...

Hi, the first few days are so hard but once you get to day 3 or 4 you stop feeling hungry. I had read about ketosis before and thought it must be nonsense but it really does stop the hunger. My tips - drink loads of water, have a cup of Buillion if you are really hungry and have a couple of...

I've decided to set myself a challenge to stay 100% until Christmas and see what my losses are like. I don't do daily weigh ins though so I'm going with my weight on Saturday - 13st5lbs

I have failed this months challenge lol I was being very ambitious though, lost 7lb so far, not all that great. I can't see me losing 11lb this week lol SheridanLM91: Start Weight - 13st 1.8lbs; Current Weight - 12st 8.3lbs; Goal Loss - 14lbs Total Loss - 7.5lbs. Sleek_Chick: Start Weight...

Well the 'holiday' is well and truly over. The baby woke at 12.30, 4.30 then up for the day at 5.30 (with the added bonus of a dirty nappy) I'm already on my second cup of coffee but it isn't cutting it at all. At least it's Monday, Monday is my lazy day after running around getting things done...

Hey, we are ok, the boys are better, sleeping until 6.10 yesterday and today, it feels like I'm on holiday ;) Ive lost 2lb, I expected less, I've not been drinking enough water, I've definitely not had enough sleep, it's the dreaded time of the month again and I've been eating stuff like ham...

Angel, he's 6 months old tomorrow, it's going far too fast x

Well my lazy day has yet to start, decided to bite the bullet and move the baby out of our bedroom and into the box room next door (it was my toddler's nursery when he was a baby until I shuffled the rooms around to give him the bigger room when his big brother moved out) Just messaged OH to...

I did food week in week 4, it didn't go well (had a run in with a muffin for a start) then I've really struggled this past 2 weeks. I have been adding the occasional egg or bit of chicken so I think I'll give it a miss for now, I'll be taking 2 days off at Christmas, and I'll maybe start doing...

I think you can see them once you have got to a certain amount of posts x

I'm half way there, 13st 7lb on Saturday, think it'll be another 2 weeks here, onwards and downwards!

Well done on fitting into your dress. I bought a dress a size down, hoping to wear it at Christmas too. We go to my parents every year (OHs parents don't like me lol, works out great for me, we don't have that argument about where to spend Christmas) and it's not a really dressy affair. It will...

Good luck, I managed 100% until week 4 (food week) and since then I've been finding it a lot harder x

Day 14 in the sleep deprivation house - the baby woke 3 times during the night and spent half the night in my bed. Got him back in his cot and half an hour later the toddler decided it was breakfast time (at 5.25) I keep saying to myself - it's just a phase :sigh: OH has asked me to buy a spare...

Yay, I've just noticed my BMI is now in the overweight section instead of the obese one, that's a bit of a boost :)

Hey all, I'm good, swamped beneath 2 poorly babies who think sleep is for wimps. Weighed in, lost 5lbs, not great as its over 2 weeks. My missions for the following week - drink more water and make time to come on her. Hope everyone is well xx

Thanks Angel, I think I might push the boat out and have something tonight, some planned protein though and not nibbling at things I shouldn't have. I can't seem to shake this cold, it's not as bad but its hanging around. The baby has started coughing today, poor wee manny, I'm hoping he shakes...

Sheridan, your body is not ruined, you are young and will bounce right back. When I was 25 I had a miscarriage but I fell pregnant 3 months later. I was terrified of having another miscarriage so I did as little as possible (except eat) for 9 months. After the birth I had put on 5 stone. But I...

Thanks Sheridan, I think the key for me is keeping busy and sitting around feeling yucky with a poorly baby isn't helping. On my 3rd coffee, kids are bathed, I've showered and now I'm going to blitz the kitchen and living room (that's a laugh, my toddler walks about behind me pulling out toys as...

Urgh I haven't been good, I've been nibbling at food :cry: Think I might have knocked myself out of ketosis. A combination of extreme tiredness and a snuffly baby (and a snuffly me too) back to 100% today. I don't think my extended TOTM is helping (I got sterilised in May when I had my last c...

I got about 4 inches off, it's now shoulder length. You have a fab day too x

Fingers crossed for you and your 'get to the 12s' mission xx

Hi, a bit late to the party again, I'll join in. I'm going to be ambitious and go for 18lbs SheridanLM91: Start Weight - 13st 1.8lbs; Current Weight - 13st 1.8lbs; Goal Loss - 14lbs Total Loss - 0lbs. Sleek_Chick: Start Weight - Current Weight - Goal Loss - 10lbs Total Loss - 0lbs...

Hair cut was a success, I don't know what I was worried about. I've been 100% for the last 2 days, hoping for a good loss next week if I stay on track x

I have started doing the exercises my physio gave me to strengthen my back. I have an hereditary disease in my back. It's always fine when I'm pregnant but agony otherwise. I had built the strength up a lot before my last pregnancy, I need to get back to where I was. I used to get traction on my...

Hi Honey, just wanted to wish you luck x

What an inspiration you are. Isn't hindsight wonderful, I look back at photos from my teens and 20s and I hated how I looked, there was nothing wrong with me. I'd give my eye teeth to be that size again lol x

I'm a nervous wreck, I'm getting my hair cut this afternoon, I haven't set foot inside a hairdressers in years, my friend used to come to my house and cut my hair but the last time was over 2 years ago. I've gone so far as to cut my own hair to avoid going to a hairdressers. I'm crapping...

I'm doing great, I've just lost 1lb this week, but with my cake shenanigans, food week and TOTM, I'm surprised I didn't stay the same or gain. So I'm still pleased with that and I'm looking forward to a better loss next week

I'm not a fan of daily weighing, I used to find my weight would fluctuate so much it was disheartening. I love the hazelnut shake, it's not good hot though. I just had a hot banana one, yummy x

Yay, he slept until 6.15, it's not much but it's an improvement in the right direction. Just back from toddlers, it was a party so there was lots of cakes and crisps, I didn't even sniff them. I'm feeling very optimistic. I pulled a muscle in my chest yesterday so I'm spraying on Deep Heat and...

still in a state of exhaustion :cry:I've given up on food week, I accidentally ate a choc muffin and a handful of chips, I think thats the rest of the weeks calories all in one go. Back to 100% today. I'm hoping the boys sleep past 5.30am tomorrow, what a treat that would be. I had to buy a new...

fingers crossed, I'm sure you'll still have a fab loss x

thanks sheridan. My TOTM has finally landed, glad it was late now, its landed on food week. I think I'll just have the same food today and see how I go. I feel like I could sleep all day, my little army are trying to break me with sleep depravation lol. Lazy pj day on the cards.

Hi, this is my first time doing this kind of diet too and its really working for me, hope you get good results too.

OK but I don't understand why they say 201 cals of milk when milk isnt on the list of ketosis friendly foods lol. I'll give it a go this week but I'm sceptical :rolleyes: My kids are in cahoots together, 4.45am yesterday morning, 5.15am this morning. I guess its heading in the right direction...

So I'm struggling to understand this food week nonsense. I should've started it yesterday but I forgot. I dont understand why it's even needed. So I had a boiled egg and a bit of chicken. Won't eating extra knock me out of ketosis? I don't want that, it was a pain getting into it lol

I've had a quiet weekend, the clocks changing has mucked up today (baby woke at 4.45am for the day and has a blocked nose so he's struggling) I've been shopping with my eldest son and done some housework but I just feel wiped out today. Still no sign of the monthly visitor, good job I'm...

I just got too busy to think about it to be fair x

hello 13s weighed in at 13st13lb today, so excited

goodbye 14s

I've lost 6lb! challenge complete, total is 26lb now :p Sleek Chick: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 10lbs Total loss:????? Whimsyfae: Start weight: 10st 3lbs, Current weight: ?? Goal loss: 9lbs Total loss: ?? AllYours: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal...

aaaarrrgghhhhhhhh Week 3 - lost 6lbs!!!

I painted my nails and wrote a shopping list, by the time I was done the notion had passed

That's unfortunate. could you keep a bar in your bag for emergencies?x

Also, that time of the month is now 3 days late, feeling bloated. I weigh tomorrow, is it possible to lose nothing when I'm due on? :cry:lol

I'm feeling bored, my head is tricking me into thinking I'm hungry. That's my thing, I eat when I'm bored. :( I've done a load of housework. I can't get on with my knitting while the boys are up, my toddler just grabs the wool to play. Watching Fireman Sam *yawn* hoping OH will be home soon...

hazelnut shake - yum. Hot hazelnut shake - not so much :rolleyes: it tasted ok but was thin and runny, all the other shakes are nice and thick even when I heat them. Lesson learned.

Still feeling so very cold, I'm just layering up though, OH is a typical Scot, a bit of a penny pincher, so he gets annoyed if I have the heating on and I'm walking about in a t shirt. I think a hot shake will heat me up a bit, I think I'll try a new flavour today.

well done on your loss x

I've no tips for nibbles, there was party food at the kids party on Wednesday and I just avoided it. Enjoy your evening x

I added some slim rice to my curry pack tonight, it's a bit rubbery but ok. I also put my stats into the weight loss projection website, I will be in the healthy range for my weight by my birthday (the end of January) I'm feeling inspired now.

I had some food today, I had the curry tonight and I bulked it out with the slim rice (14 calories for the pack and carb free) it was ok, the rice is a bit rubbery. Hope you are feeling better soon x

I did, my cousin who was also going, kindly took me. I was squeezed in the back between 2 car seats (not as much of a squeeze as it would've been 3 weeks ago though) The runny nose is still here but no further symptoms so fingers crossed. I think it's because I feel cold all the time just now...

Well done, a size 12, that's fab x

It's a rotten day here again, no wind but dull and rainy. I tried the White choc and raspberry shake hot today, it was proper lovely. I've got a kids party to go to today, my silly OH has only gone to work with the double pram in the car. Now trying to plan the quickest way to get there with a...

Happy birthday, hope you have a lovely day x

Ive done it, it's really good. There's 3 levels but I've never stayed with it long enough to get off level one. (Kids and bad back get in my way) The results in upping your fitness and burning fat are supposed to be fast though

Thanks :D Getting into the 13stone area is my next mini goal, also I've ordered new jeans from next (size 14) if they don't fit then getting into them too. I love chai lattes, I'm sure I have a box of chai somewhere, will look it out. Great idea x

Shake Update - LOVE LOVE LOVE the banana one hot. Yummy.

I was a little heavier than your start weight, I too had been on sw. I lost 15lbs in my first week, I bet you can do just as well. Good luck x

You're so very close to your 18lb goal, keep up the good work xx

Eeeeeek, I forgot the most important thing - for the first time in at least 3 years I'm wearing a pair of size 14 jeans :eek: I'm in shock again. They are about 3 years out of fashion but I don't care, I have a £20 credit for recommending someone on Next, off to browse size 14s x

Today I tried a hot vanilla and coffee shake, it was quite good. It's so cold up here already, I can't bear the thought of an ice cold shake. I've tried a hot choc and coffee one before, I liked that. Later I'm going to try hot banana. Has anyone tried other flavours hot?

Well done xx

Could it be some medication making you feel hungry? I find I feel peckish if I use the strong painkillers. Have you tried the Marigold Swiss Buillion? It's allowed and if you close your eyes you can almost imagine your having a cuppa soup x

I'm a Saturday weigh-in, purely because my first delivery came on a Friday afternoon :rolleyes: lost 5lbs this week - week 2

week 2 and I lost another 5lbs, I may not be here as long as I thought (fingers crossed)

well done on your loss, thats like a pound a day :) I left the carbonara for a few minutes before serving, it smelled awful but tasted ok, I added black pepper to it too. I've heard leaving the meals to soak before cooking them helps x

ooh you should definitely have your birthday off, won't hurt if you get right back on it. I have had amazing losses, but I had more weight to lose, my current weight was your start weight lol. You're in the 13st now, I'm jealous of that :) xx

I'm on day 17 (you inspired me to work it out) I'm the opposite of you, I find the weekends easier. During the week I'm alone all day with the kids, stuck with no car. At the weekends my OH is home, he helps out (as much as any man helps lol) and I'm so busy getting the messages in and doing all...

Good luck. I will be 41 in a few months, I'm determined to have lost most of my weight, fingers crossed. I was lucky, I stuffed my face in the run up to, on, and after my 40th because I was pregnant :rolleyes: x

Can you try and stay on plan except when you have a meal out, in the evening say. that would be a reasonable compromise. And you can have protein, a tuna salad maybe, or steak and veg and it maybe woukdnt knock you out of ketosis. And just enjoy the high tea, then get right back on it, fingers...

well done x

I lost another 5lbs, 1 more and I've done my 21lbs :) Sleek Chick: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 10lbs Total loss:????? Whimsyfae: Start weight: 10st 3lbs, Current weight: ?? Goal loss: 9lbs Total loss: ?? AllYours: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss...

Lara - at least another 3st. I'm tall and carry weight well so I can get away with being 11st and still get into a size 12. But ideally 10st, so we'll see x

Weigh in day - lost 5lbs. I'm stunned. 20lbs in 2 weeks :eek:

In other news, I have a cold sore coming on :(

Thanks everyone, feeling much better now. I just has the strawberry shake, I didn't like it when I tried it but it was ok this morning, funny how your tastebuds change. Also the white choc shake, I thought it was amazing last week, this week not so much. I've resisted the urge to jump,on the...

Had my first hot chocolate and coffe shake, oh man it was so good. My back is still really sore, had to break out the bad boy painkillers, was worried at taking them while I'm on exante but it's been ok. Hoping my back is better tomorrow.

Thanks, good luck on your first week too, I bet you get an amazing loss x

Well done x

Hello 14s, I may be here a few weeks as I'm sure my losses will be a lot less than my first week. I still can't get over 15lbs off... stunned.

I had a clear out and found some (unworn, bought optimistically) size 14 jeans, I'm looking forward to wearing them finally x

I'm going to see if I can get the flu jab again this year. I had it last year for the first time because I was pregnant, I've heard stories of people getting flu easier if they get the jab then stop getting it. I also do housework and cook for my Gran regularly and I know people in contact with...

Thanks, I really can't believe it

Edit* hot cross bun and double choc bar

I almost forgot, I tried the hot cross bun bar yesterday, yummy

I wasn't feeling well yesterday, first time being ill on exante, it was not good. I finally had my first shake of the dayat 3pm. I have a bad back and today it's really sore. I've had paracetamol and used the microwave heat bag on it, I even did 3 rounds with the tens machine on but it's not...

first weigh in, I am stunned :eek: 15lbs off Sleek Chick: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 10lbs Total loss:????? Whimsyfae: Start weight: 10st 3lbs, Current weight: ?? Goal loss: 9lbs Total loss: ?? AllYours: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 21lbs...

weigh in day, I couldn't believe my scales, I had to step on them 3 times but still got the same result - 15lbs off. I am in shock!

Went shopping today for new blinds for the living room and kitchen, decided to hang them myself instead of waiting for OH to get in from work. So after standing on the kitchen worktop struggling for an hour I did it. Decided to leave the 3 living room ones though. OH will be so pleased :sigh: I...

I started TS on Saturday, its been surprisingly easy. My plan originally was to do 6 weeks as I bought a 2 week starter pack and a 4 week shakes pack. I thought that whether I was coping or not I would do the 6 weeks so as not to waste my money but its been going so well. And then I saw...

I've only tried the Carbonara, it smelled awful but tasted okay, I put loads of black pepper on everything though so maybe that masks the taste. I have a bolognese and a shepherds pie to try, feeling aprehensive :rolleyes:

hi, I'm very new but while reading up on re-feed I found a thread on the slim and save board about a 7 or 10 day refeed, you should give that a look, it seemed very helpful.

That's a bit rubbish, I hope they sort it out. I ordered mine last Tuesday and it arrived on Friday, was also supposed to be next day delivery. Jeez, I bet twins are hard work, I struggle with a 2 year old and a 5 month old :)

I find 4 hours is the longest I can go between eating, I try and hold off as long as possible in the morning before the first shake. I just did the 30 day shred (20 minutes of hell) and felt a bit lightheaded after so I'm having a nice cup of Marigold Buillion (sp?) and a big glass of cold...

Good luck to you both. I used to pick away while cooking, I thought I'd find it difficult cooking and doing TS, so far so good though (I realise that might change haha) I am staying on TS 100% for the next 40 days to start off. Then I'll reassess and see.

Hi, I'm new, can I join? I started on Saturday, I was 15st11lb, I'd like to lose 21lb by 1st November Sleek Chick: Start weight: ?????? Current weight:?????? Goal loss: 10lbs Total loss:????? Whimsyfae: Start weight: 10st 3lbs, Current weight: ?? Goal loss: 9lbs Total loss: ?? AllYours...

I have a 1 litre jug I keep in the fridge, I refill it more than 4 times a day so I know I'm getting the right amount. I drink loads of water anyway, it was all I could stomach while pregnant.

My problem is the same, once I start I don't stop. Exante is working for me though, I'm not feeling hungry today and I haven't had the 'stuff my face' urge after having a shake (whereas I do when on any other diet lol) Thanks for replying, I'll stick to those times then, they suit me :)

Just wanted to say hello *waves* I've lurked on here for a long time (slimming world, 5:2 diet) but never registered. I started exante on Saturday, I'm finding it surprisingly easy even though I have a toddler, a teen and an OH to cook for :D I haven't told the rest of my family about exante...
