I dont suppose anyone knows the propoints for Greggs Greek Style Yogurt do they? I left the pot at home! TIA xx

Hi! Does anyone have the October magazine that could post the ingredients of the Red Thai Tofu Curry please?? Thank you in advance! xx

Thank you Sneeze. I'll say 11 as it was probably butter they used! Bless you SO MUCH TO LOSE!, you've done really well so far :)

Had no time for breakfast this morning and got an egg butty at work...:o Could anyone please take a guess at how many pp it is.... I would say it was a medium bread roll with two fried eggs and brown sauce....then of course the spread and oil it was cooked in...thanks!!!

Thank you very much! Well done on your loss so far too ;) xx

Hi I'm not going to the meetings and have decided to do the propoints myself. I've found a calculator online and it asks me to enter protein, carbs, fat & fibre. My question is when entering carbs do i do the normal carbs or carbs of which sugars and when entering fat do I do normal fat or...

:) Thank you Jackie

Could someone please tell me how many pro points I would be on? I'm 5ft 7, 31 and 10st 10 Thank you :-)

Does anyone know where I can see a 7 day meal plan? I lost weight on WW before when i followed one because I find it easier than thinking up meals myself! I know the magazine used to have them in but they dont now. Thank you! :kissass:

I'm going to start back at WW without going to the meetings but am unsure what the discovery plan is. Could I just count my points like I did when I used to do it? :confused:

Hi yo-yo you could also have an extra pack if you are really hungry. Dont think I could cope on 3! x

Thanks Becky. You did well on your 1st week, nearly a stone! :eek: Yeah the weekend is defo the worst, having to turn into a hermit so I dont eat or drink! I also find the fourth day the worst as I think that is when starvation kicks in lol! x

Hiya! Well I've only been on Exante 4 days but lowered my calories and carbs a week ago and have lost 4 pounds. I'll put my weight on the weigh in thread when I've done Exante for a week. I do get weighed fully clothed and after my lunch for some silly reason but at least I know how much I've...

Oh sorry I thought you meant you were on a meal replacement plan, didnt know you were just cutting your calories down.

Dont think you can have any juices pink I'm afraid. I love juice too as dont drink tea or coffee

I was doing when I first started Exante but got kicked off for not sticking to it lol! :sigh:

Hi lemon_elmo! Well it could be either because you've toned up at the gym and muscle weighs more than fat and if you measure yourself you'll see you've lost inches instead of pounds. If not then 3 days isnt very long and we do get told not to weigh ourselves every day as weight can fluctuate so...

Ta everyone ;) I tried healthy eating Lisa as well as low carbing but I know TS gets the weight off quick even if it is bloody hard! Went to the races today and ate a few nibbles and had a couple of drinks but I didnt go mad as had a shake for breakfast and had a soup this evening so it...

Lol! I wondered why they were giving me funny looks!

Well I had my shake for breakfast but then lost the key to my mum's where I go at lunchtime and where my packs are so had to buy a cous cous salad from the shop! I know there's prob too much carbs in them but there wasnt much choice and I could have had worse! How you going? x

Well I've got 3 promotional packs and decided to give it another bash! I've reduced my carbs and calories since Friday and been to the gym every day so I'm all set to start Exante tomorrow. Have noticed the packs are slightly larger too and the books look different.

Can I join too? Will start tomorrow!

I've decided I'm going to go back to Slim Fast as am spending too much money on Exante and now I'm just in a healthy BMI I wont mind so much only losing a pound or two a week. Mathswiz you only have to lose a few pounds until you are there too but I do know what its like when you'd feel better...

I know how you feel. I have only lost 6 pounds since the end of January

Good way to look at it mathswiz. I've only lost about 5 lbs since I started a couple of months ago but if I hadnt started it I may have put 5lbs on! Not doing my bank balance any good tho! Think we need to think of that!

Maybe we could say go x amount of days without cheating or lose 2 lbs a week?

Can I join too? I'm fed up of having more bad days than good! I had my 400 cal meal 2nite which I can have on Exante Working Solution but then had 2 mouthfuls of easter egg, low fat yog, loads of cocopops from the box and 2 slices of toast with marg. Really dont know why I cant do it :mad...

Hi Kels Would you be able to post the Cajun chicken one please? I'm veggie so will use Quorn instead. I'm on Exante Working Solution and struggling to know what to eat! xx Thanks! x

Ok thanks Sarah. I'm vegetarian so I'll be having quorn and tofu. I presume it will be just quorn pieces I can have and not sausages and burgers etc! This is why I tried to stick to Total as I just dont know what to have that I'm allowed! I've looked at the Atkins thread but arent they allowed...

I think I may try Working again and see how I get on. Done Total all day today but missing food already! So could I use the recipes on the website that are up to 400 cals as I was having the omelette then adding a salad and fat free dressing. Is that allowed? How much carbs are allowed? Thats...

My least fave are vanilla and tomato which i dont order anymore. xx

Well we'll have to keep each other on track even more than we have been doing! :copon: No my weight gain will have been everything I ate at the weekend! I didnt binge like I usually do but pizza isnt good! Good luck with the Working Solution. Have just read your blog and it just sounds like...

Firstly Mathswiz you havent "failed" just look how much weight you have lost! In regards to struggling on Total I know how you feel as I just can not get past day 4 without eating then I cant sleep as I'm beating myself up over it! I didnt even weigh myself this week at Boots as I know I put...

Well done, you'll lose 17lbs in no time xx

Good luck mum! Bet you've lost loads! :eek:

Mooncat - Make sure you do Mum as I know how obssesed you are with giving it. Dont want you to :faint2: :D

I'll weigh myself on Tuesday. I go to Boots so I know its accurate. xx

YAY! Well done! Thats a great weight loss plus you're nearly under BMI 25 xx

I dont think it will make much diff hun. At least they were Atkins! Well done on being such a good friend too! Like Sarah said if you watch what you eat in your meal out it shouldnt effect you too much xx

I did try the working solution but was worried I was having too many carbs. I was eating meals off the menu section of the website but if I added say a salad with a fat free dressing I wasnt always sure what was allowed so I know I am eating what I'm meant to on the Total.

Well done! Sarah P on the Exante board is also doing the working solution. I was doing it but wasnt sure I was eating the right amount of carbs even though I was having recipes off the exante website. What sort of things do you have for your meal? I'm just doing the total solution at the mo xx

I've been on it a couple of months but kept falling off the wagon! I manage to get to day 4 and find it too hard to carry on but then when I'm on the other solutions I seem to be putting weight on so gonna just have to push through it. I know it says I shouldnt be on total but if its the only...

Good luck Lisa! I'll come on to see how much you've lost! :D

Oh well done! Did you apply through the Exante website? Wish there was one in Leeds but I suppose I know why I overeat so only I can stop that. :copon: I was on simple solution for a few days but my weight was going up instead of down so I've gone back on to Total as even though I find it hard...

Thanks mathwiz. I lost 2lbs so not brilliant especially as I was on sole source for half the week but its better than nothing I suppose!:sigh:

:(I am on the Exante Simple Plan which is 3 shakes/soups/bars a day plus up to 600 cals meal to make it up to 1200. I have stuck to it and am drinking at least 2 litres of water but my stomach is massive! I usually notice it in my stomach and it was getting flatter but since yesterday my...

Aw well done Sarah! You'll be on target next week for Easter. I wish Exante had more counsellors as looking on the website they only seem to have them in London. I think you should apply as they say they are looking for more! x

Thanks girls! I still feel like I want to lose another stone at least as I do still have a bit of a jelly belly lol! I think I'll always have that no matter how much I lose!

Now I am below bmi 25 I have noticed on the Exante site that I have to go on the simple solution which is 1200 cals. Says I cant even go on working. Would I still lose on simple even tho im only just under bmi 25?

You can have 4 packs on the total solution which makes it 800 cals. I notice you are having fruit which I'm not sure is included on Total or are you doing your own version? Good luck with it and well done on the loss on CS! x

I've gone back on the Total Solution as preferred the weight losses on that and was worried I would have too many carbs on working solution. Finding it still quite hard though even though I am in ketosis now but still going strong. Was starving yesterday and had a bit of a headache but was my...

I have a cbfm Freefalling but as my cycles are sooo long its no good to me. Nuttytrace you sound like you've been through the mill with it all. I have been for a blood test today for various things inc. PCOS and have also been referred for a scan so will know soon. Could they not put you on...

Ok yeah good idea

I've just been on the site to look for recipes and was going to do the tofu and bean casserole but in the rice it just states a portion. How much is a portion?? My portion would be a plate full! Have emailed to ask them but can anyone guess??

Well done Miriam! x

Well done everyone! I have decided to go on the working solution as even though I was losing a pound a day on the total solution I was finding it too hard and had no energy on Saturday which made me eat things I shouldnt have. My question is do I need to still cut out carbs with my evening meal...

I used a ketostick today and it says I'm in ketosis woo hoo! :D I usually falter on day 4 so if I can get through today hopefully it will get easier! How's everyone else doing?

Soo wanted to go out for something to eat tonight but have stayed strong! Plus someone brought cakes in at work and I resisted! :eek: Finding it really hard but seem to be losing a pound a day so will try my best!!

I got some for February!!!! Hope I can see him from the top tier!! Anyway back to dieting! I did well yesterday and just had my strawberry shake this morning and now sipping my water! Happy Exanteing everyone!!

I have just paid for a code on Ebay (desperate I know!) and it says can be used on Ticketmaster but where do I get them from? Is it Ticketmaster as every date is saying non available but is that for people without a code or have they all sold out? Sorry for hijacking Exante thread!

Month long periods, sounds awful!! I'm the opposite whereas I hardly have them! Just having blood tests at the mo. Let me know how you get on especially as you're doing Exante like I am x

That's what I'm going to have to do as I didnt get a code but as I leave for work at 7am might be a bit difficult. Oh poo :sigh:

Oh I signed up for the pre-release of the tickets but never got a code! I saw him in 1992 and sooo want to see him again. Hoping I'll still be able to get tickets.

Hi fattybombom (love the name lol!) I have been trying but have irregular periods. How long have you been trying? xx

I'm back! Albeit 5 pounds heavier than last time as I fell of the wagon quite hard! But I'm back with a vengeance and DETERMINED to do it especially now all the newbies to the diet are overtaking me! ;) Got a months supply yesterday and started today. One of the reasons I fell off it was...

No the shakes arent as nice as slim fast ones, taste very powdery to me. I love the bars, wish we could have them all day!

Well after not sticking to it all the time I am pleased to say I have lost half a stone! It did take me 3 weeks but none the less!! Have you lost 31lbs Sarah? WOW!

The book does actually say to introduce a meal on the 5th week and then on the 6th you can go back on the SS again for 4 weeks or until you're at goal weight. My stomach feels smaller so I'm hoping I have lost something this week!

Sarah you've done really well so its you inspiring me not the other way round as on Friday and Saturday I wasnt very good.:sigh: I just hope I havent put anything on on Thursday but dont know if I can be as lucky as last week!

I much prefer the bars and soups to the shakes especially the vanilla one. Have you seen the little blue/green bits in the shakes? Wonder what they are!?

Just been weighed and surprised that I have lost 3lbs! If I'd have stuck to it 100% I could have prob lost twice that!

I'll give it another week or so on the total solution and then I may go to the working solution.

I've fallen off the wagon a bit! Trying my best to get back on it today. Have ordered another 3 weeks of stuff so really hope I can stick to it. Have to weigh myself tomorrow so not expecting much :break_diet:

Thanks islandbreeze. I am used to eating at that time but then nibbling in the evening so I'm going to try and not have my bar at 3pm and save it until later in the evening :argh:

Well done on your losses, you've done really well! I'll weigh myself on Thursday when I've done a week so I hope yesterday's blip hasnt made too much damage!

I have to admit I caved in last night! We moved house and I was so stressed that I needed food! I wasnt even hungry but food in my stomach made me feel a bit better! Of course I will have to start all over again now though. I have been having my breakfast shake just before 9am then my lunch...

I'm on day 3 and I'm starving!! I havent caved in though. Keep telling myself I've spent too much money to spoil it now

I've looked in the booklet and although it doesnt say do not drink milk it says have black teas and coffees and no alcohol, fruit teas or soft drinks.

Sarah it wasn't a booklet for just the total solution it was just a little orange booklet on the whole different solutions but there were dos and donts and one was dont drink soft drinks but cant remember if it mentioned milk. I'll have a look when I get back home. Did they not send you one of...

Well done on your losses! I'm not doing it through a consultant so I'm not sure about the milk. In the booklet didnt it just say you could only drink water? I don't drink tea or coffee so it doesn't affect me.

How you getting on Sarah? I started Exante today and am having 4 meals a day. Had a vanilla shake for brekkie and a thai chicken soup for lunch and so far so good! Making sure I drink a glass of water every hour too. Its the evenings I'm worried about!

Thanks everyone. I would be gutted if I was putting on a pound a week so I'm gonna see every weight loss as a good thing in future xx:D

I started Slim Fast this month and so far have only been losing a pound a week so have only lost 2 pounds. Admittedly I havent stuck to it 100% but pretty damn close! :break_diet:I also go to exercise classes 2-3 times a week and walk lots so I feel like this is going to take forever! I am...

We're buying for the first time too and its scary! We're buying on a shared equity basis where we buy 75% of the property and give Persimmon who we're buying off their 25% when we sell. We dont need a deposit which we dont have so this was only way we could do it.

Hi Sarah I'm about to start it too so I'll let you know how I get on! :)
