Just got back from the dentist with amoxycillin for this tooth abscess, it says to take one every 8 hours with food, guessing it'll be ok with a shake as the shakes are food really? thing is i dont have a shake every 8 hours really, usually about 9.30, 1ish & 8pm. Would it hurt not to take them...

hey cherry have you thought about alternate day fasting? i wonder if u would like that cos u can still have greggs & stuff every other day? sounds maintainable long term aswell i'm planning to do it soon x

i'm not sure, i remember the advice on cd used to be only one bar a day for the few weeks til you're well into ketosis cos they were slightly higher in carbs, but i think I read recently 3 bars a day is ok on exante. i can't buy them bcos i end up eating an extra one or two a day cos they're so...

I literally never get hungry on this diet & usually have to push myself to have all 3 packs, but last night and today i'm starving?! It's not totm that was last week, could it be because I've got a cold? x

Oooh no wifi isn't good when ur trying 2 not eat & if everyone else is eating! It's a hard diet to do social & family type stuff on and dunno about you but I find this diet can be all or nothing, but even when it's 'all' it's not tooo bad really cos you know u can drop what uv gained within a...

Also I think you might be better to have a tiny bit of cream or full fat milk in coffee bcos they're lower in carbs if you want to go into ketosis x

Ahaha I get a really bad mood the first few days, I feel so deprived & cross! it highlights how much we use food to deal with emotions i think. But then after a few days on it when i'm in the zone I feel the opposite & really happy with myself, the longer time goes on hopefully will be the same...

That is proper weird, I always look tired & dehydrated on it & my face & eyes look a bit sunken, and my skin is looser/emptier. Deffo not a pretty diet for me lol x

Whoops sorry didn't realise this! x

Awww the first week is hard! I started the day before totm aswell & it was hard but thought if I can get through that I could get through anything cos usually i'm an animal for food then. Are u feeling better today?

Honk :D x

Hey! well I got the keys but am in my little temporary flat til monday because the gas won't be switched on until Monday afternoon in the new place. So moving everything in fri/sat/sun. Been to get paint samples today, i LOVE decorating & got lots of ideas already :) 6 inches in less than a...

Heya, thanks i'm really relieved it felt like I was gonna be stuck on 11,7 forever! I've been on TS for 5 weeks today, apart from some rum & a pot noodle (which was gross) last week. And i didnt have all my packs while I was out drinking or recovering. I tried to start the diet in December when...

And I'm 11st3! Quite tired & grumpy today so that's cheered me up a bit. I must've lost a bit on the rum session then cos 11st7 was my weight when i was in ketosis when I drank, but it was 11st7lb when starting day 1 on Sunday when not in ketosis so really am still on track. Yay! Hoping to be...

Woohoo get us!!! Loving all these honks :D x

Honk for today :) x

i'm excited for you lol :) Do you like the porridge then? I hate it & have a few blueberry, raspberry & plain. i've never considered myself a fussy eater but they taste like sick to me & can't eat them. Have u tried the red bean chilli? Omg am in love with it, even yummier than dahl pots...

Yeah it deffo adds up - you're so active i'm well jel! Saying that though i get the keys to the new flat today so will be well active this week moving boxes & furniture up & downstairs cos it's a 1st floor flat. We have a garden to ourselves tho! Really chuffed cos I like gardening & digging &...

Honk :)

Hey, I can't say from personal experience but i've seen a few people do it that way & it's worked for them. You'll still lose :) maybe add in some exersize on that day to balance it out a bit x

Ps. I don't even like rum, it tastes horrible! Lol :S

Heya slim woohoo glad 2 hear ur doing so well yay :D Have decided i'm not gna weigh myself for 10 days... just finishing totm so hoping to have a nice surprise when I do! I really reeeaallly wanna be in the 10's! How's the gym going? Do u ever swim? Have been thinking about it & if i swim every...

Hey all! I've not been on here as tuesday baby went to nannys & I got sidelined by friends with rum in the park for cheltenham raceweek!!! Was v naughty & went out to meet my mates for a sunny afternoon in the park & nipped on their bottles of rum all afternoon, only had 1 shake that day & ended...

It really is addictive isnt it! espesh if u have an all or nothing kind of additude to stuff, and it's quick & easy aswell. That's why I wanna follow the up day down day diet using exante on my down days when i'm at goal, i kind of enjoy fasting, tho I like food aswell, so best of both worlds &...

Hey! i've been mega busy haven't had time to post for a couple of days, ummm I guess there's nothing u can do really except tough it out! It will b hard but am sure u can do it just don't be running around so u get over thirsty... Do u like boullion? If u do have one of those aswell before ur...

Ahaha just a quick post to say the rogue pound has gone! It was really bugging me lol back to 11,7 now & hope I get a whoosh after totm :) how did ur class go, how did u feel after?x

Hey :) woohoo its a honk here aswell for day 23! I just read your other post, poor u all that illness! It's hard being ill when uv got kids cos you never get a chance to properly rest & recover! How old are ur kids? I have 5 alltogether, age 12, 11, 7 & 4, and the baby 4mths. He was born on...

The sleeping bag worked pretty well :) but I still woke up at 4.30 & couldn't get back to sleep lol. We're in temp accommodation atm a little 1 bed flat & he's in a spacesaver cot so it's a little small for him. i'm due on next week, i have quite bad patches of anxiety & its much worse leading...

Beep beep! Day 22 done, mega tired today, cos altho he sleeps thru 7-7 for the past week baby keeps shuffling upwards in his cot in the night & squishing his head into the top corner & then making little grunting noises til I sit up & tug him by his feet back down to the bottom of the cot...

Nah I had a look & they don't do it in decaf. I need 2l of tea every morning to get me going, is funny cos I never ever tried black tea until I started on the 11th, love my normal tea so much I thought i'd hate it on principal, but discovered I love it more black! can't stomach black coffee...

Heya thanks for your reply! Yeah i'm ok lol, I did try drinking only 4l the day before yesterday but I felt a bit rubbish. I think my personal amount is 5 so i'm gna stick to that :) x

Thanks steph u ledgend! Excited 2 try the salted caramel hope it tastes as good as it sounds lol x

Ohhhh wow I just read we can have salted caramel green tea! Sounds yum & another way to drink the green tea, yay :) i'm gonna buy a box tmo, hoping it's as nice as it sounds lol x

My carborana turns out like bits of hard straw in water, i can never get the pasta to go soft! You'll be fine for your weigh-in i'm sure :) Slim4life I totally feel guilty for eating, even if it's part of the plan I feel like i'm failing unless i'm ts-ing. I think it's just the way I am tho...

Hey! Aw don't beat yourself up about it just stick to the plan for the rest of the day & maybe swap the chicken salad for one of your diet packs? It shouldn't make much difference cos you're still carb free. I'm always ravenous after gym/swimming & steam rooms or saunas, deffo a lesson to be...

Woohoo nice one!!! That's the hardest bit out of the way I reckon cos all your water will b gone & u know ur burning fat now. I stuck to the plan & added the chicken & a cube of cheese & flippin well went up a pound when I got on the scales this mornin! So not gna bother with the food week just...

Hey Nat, I did a chicken breast & a bit of cheese yesterday for my food day & the scales are up a pound this morning! So i'm gna give it a miss & not do food til i'm at goal. Way back when I did cambridge they said add a meal week every 12 weeks & i was fine then so am gna go by that again...

Hey! Congrats on ur losses, awesome :D I don't know about the spice, but chinese 5 spice is quite sweet maybe it has sugar or similar flavourings? I guess u have to go by what it says on the jar & it would count towards carbs, better 2b safe than sorry x

Day 20 - HONK! Dahl pots all the way & just about managed to stick to 4l altho really wanted my extra 2l of green & black tea. Felt hungry today & was thinking about food alllllll day think that was bcos I drank less & also feeling a bit down cos of other stuff. Oh well. Early night for me & new...

Bumping :) I googled a medium chicken breast is about 200 calories so I guess I could just have one of those every day? or I was also thinking of having one add food day (a chicken breast) every week instead of one whole week every 3 weeks... anyone else do that? x

Hi, I'm supposed to start food week the day after tomorrow. What I wanted to ask is if I stick to carb free food will I stay in ketosis? The way I read it is that it's keeping the carbs below 70 that keeps us in ketosis & not the calorie amount? Thanks :) x

Heya I just replied to your other post, omg a bottle of wiiinnne, aaargh am sort of jealous! Were u hungover?! Really don't feel bad at yourself, everyone has bumps in the road, as long as your head is facing the the right direction that's what matters, u will get there :) I lost 8st on the...

Honking!!! Day 19 done, yay :) 3 dahl pots today I love them could live on them for the rest of my days haha. Put baby to bed at 7 & snuggled up with my bloke to watch the lego movie. Had a bit of a scare today read on the exante forum that we shouldn't drink more than 4l of water/fluid cos...

Hey Natalie :) Wow your losses are brilliant! Are you maintaining now? I've always got a book on the go, reading is my sanctuary, I spend far too much time sat there probably! I want to join the gym but am so self concious so have decided to go when i'm near to goal. Lol I love all the...

:confused: I've just read on the exante forum that it's really dangerous to drink over 4l of fluid a day? Totally freaked myself out reading the links to hyponutremia cos I'm on day 19 of TS & drink at least 6litres (3l tea, 2-3l water, 330ml coke zero, cups of hot water with flavourings) and...

Interested in this - if they have no citric acid & no carbs are they ok?x

Hey cherrybomb, I also struggled with moods espesh in the 1st week. Food is very emotive & u really need 2 find other ways 2 feel good, and take it day by day. My poor fella took it on the chin cos I would blame it all on him for "getting me pregnant & making me fat!" and still do say it but...

A little motivation thread for us TS 100%-ers, if u got through the day be proud of yourself & come & shout out about it on here! Let's get these 100% days lined up! :D x

Thanks Jamie :) ahh, I think i'll hold off til I get to 10st then, I don't wanna add food just yet til i'm back in my size 10's. It'll work well with alternate day fasting when I get to 10st though so good to know!x

Does anyone do this on TS? Or know if it's ok to do? I really want to start soon, not to get bulky atall but to be lean/toned & increase metabolism. I kno it'll put the scales up cos muscle weighs more but I don't mind that, was planning to start when I get to 10st when I move onto JUDDDD, but...

I've never had sooo many long hot baths & face masks lol :D Also i've found a new distraction... tanning beds! I went yesterday & today & goin again thurs, I know they're so bad 4 ur skin! but I do feel 100 times better. I really wanna go get my nails done but am still at home with the baby...

Oh, or just an extra diet pack?x

Sposed to start this on wed... I dn't really want to do it if i'm honest! I dont cook, so can I just have say a chicken breast or a couple tins of tuna every day? x

Thanks Sheridan :D x

Hey all hope you're having good days! Restarter here, it was a bit much for me in January after my caesarean & a new baby, so gave myself a few more weeks & am on day 18 of TS now. I just wanted to ask, on the exante website the list of allowable extras - are you allowed 1 can of coke zero...

Hi :) how are you getting on?

Hey :) how are you getting on?

12st6lb lol. A bit slowee than i was hoping but guessing that's down to the extra calories i'm having through the protein... tempted to ditch it but my caesarean scar & area has been sore since a couple of days into the diet & don't want to impede healing cos the quicker i heal the quicker i can...

Thats a good idea, i'll do that :) i've bought some new scales, will weigh in the morning & find out! I've done a vlcd about 7 years ago & went from 18st down to 9.7 so i'm doing ok, just impatient this time haha. I went down to 8st for a while (lots of partying!) but my natural weight seems to...

Oh - i think it may be my scales battery! Have lost the back cover & one is held in by a wedge of cardboard. In one place this morning it says 12,7.5 and everywhere else it says 12,4.5 - how annoying!

Thanks nat :) wow you've done really well! Our height & goal weight are the same :) i jumped on the scales on day 3 & was down to 12,6lb, then had a tin of tuna monday & went to 12,7lb, had a small chicken breast lastnight & am 12,8&1/2... havent cheated & am drinking 8 pints of water so dont...

Ohhhh sorry just seen the rules above! Please can you move the post :) x

Hey all hope you're doing well today! I'm on day 5, i've got 2 stone to lose to get back to pre-preg weight - I gained 4st! My little boy was 4 weeks old on friday & (I'd dropped 2 stone already through breastfeeding for the first 3 weeks & i think i was carrying a lot of water) My question...
