    Day 1 and giving me a chance

    19 weeks, it's not long at all really, is it? Especially to undo the ''damage'' to my self-esteem, shape and my life. I have been a serial dieter for most of my adult life, promised myself every January 1st that this will be the year when......you know the rest, I'm sure! This Jan 1st was no...

    Struggling

    Hi hun, so sorry you're feeling so down. This is a hard plan to follow on days like this. Are you adding a meal over the next couple of weeks, seeing as you are so near your target? I was feeling like that recently and made myself a sugar free jelly...just the smell and the colour lifted my...

    is ketosis dangerous?

    Fab post, thanks for all that info, makes me feel I am more armed for the constant 'attacks' I get from well meaning friends when they tell me how dangerous this type of diet is. As of yet, I haven't told them but, will have to 'own up' when the weight goes down rapidly....as it does with this diet!

    How much, how long and what dream!?

    Hi, I am interested to hear of other peoples losses , how long you expect to be on Exante and what your dream is for yourself, once you have lost your desired weight. I love reading peoples posts and am always searching for info...maybe I'm just plain nosey ! ;) So, I will start off by...

    Ooooh err, Have had to come home as felt quite weak all of a sudden. It's not unusual for me to have this feeling early in a plan...was hopeful of booking leave the rest of the week but, other staff are off and there is no chance of me being able to get any time off. So, have took 4 hours TOIL...

    Really?!?!

    I have those scales and I am, always, weighing myself.....keep telling myself to stop it! I find they fluctuate quite a lot but, I step on and off a few times to find a consistent reading. It can ruin your day, when you get a rise...we know it can't be fat because we are on minimal calories...
