And HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow ????

Oooo E L James has a lot to answer for. I lost an entire month to those books!!! I'm excited to see your next weigh in results. I'm thinking if trying CDS I'm week two of a month abroad, and looking at myself in very little clothes everyday makes me very motivated. Can I ask? Do you do any...

You have done amazingly Such a transformation Drink some water, busy your hands Step away from the bars :) x

Last Tuesday night I came to the site after days of out of control binge eating. I knew I needed to get my bum in gear so I joined online. Now apart from drinks Saturday I've been saintly. I know as as a previous member that week one can sometimes give you a decent loss, But I just thought I'd...

Update, i went shopping, i bought food and i joined online! x

I also need to hang my head in shame. I've done reasonably well at slimming world before, getting from 14stone to 12st 10. I moved areas and i didn't love the group available so found it hard to stick with them. I looked around the area but they are all run by the same girl. My weight...

me too, i am rejoining, excited about it, x

Oh thanks so much everyone. I calculated my points, or how many i should be having online, i can't remember what site it was now, i'll have to google through. I weighed in at 13.3 and so it worked out at 22. I've been checking out points values ect on this site and one of my friends gave me...

Hi.. Today was my first day of WW. I've tried a million and one diets before, i tend to lose a bit, i can't maintain it and i'm always back up to my original weight which lingers around 13stone. I am going to join a group on Wednesday next week, I was going to start last night, work got in the...

The Help by Kathryn Stockett, Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird... it was astoundingly beautiful

I weighed tonight, Lost 4.5lb and didnt reward myself with food, which is usually my probably, so pleased..

Hi, I rejoined SW last week, Tried it last year for a few months and lost motivation. New group, new consultant who i seem to get on with Trying extra easy for the 1st time so nervous i am doing it wrong. Thursday Strawberrys, blueberrys and raspberrys with total 0% fat free greek yoghurt...

Well done on the loss so far, you will feel down, but try and occupy yourself, i know everyone says it but it's so true, today i have been watching films, painting my nails, anything to occupy my hands, i am re-trying exante, so its my day one, but ive done a month before so iremember what it's...

8 and a half pounds is the typo

The initial breif with exante was to stick to it for 4 weeks and have some pics taken with them for the site. I lost 13lbs as you can see, was really happy and everyone at exante was lovely, i have nothing bad to say there at all but when it came to scheduling the photos, no arrangments were...

I thought mikados (18 in a pack) were 1.5 each???? I will have a proper check, but i would agree with keeping on top of the syns, i noticed last time round i let things creep in and i was off plan before i knew it. Well done on your new job and new healthy eating plan x

Want to try and keep a diary to keep me on Track. Have put this up on my frige for a week and it is quite helpful... So starting today Tuesday: Breakfast: 2 Nimble (hexb) Spread (tiny amount) 2 syns? 2 poached eggs Tea with skimmed milk Alpen light bar (hexb) Lunch: Jacket potato spread...

Well done!!! i was just reading your food diary for a bit of inspiration as im sat feeling hungry - not actual hungry - bored hungry... but congratulations on a great loss

I was a case study - paid half price for my products for 2 months - never got a penny back from exante and they never replied to my correspondance, but i suppose if you want a discount it's worth a go, but it's not very honest

I weighed tonight, 1st week over with, really enjoyed it, lost 5 lbs, Very very chuffed

When i'm in sainsburys i always pick up the feed your family for a fiver recipie cards. Started slimming world last week and adapted this one for lunch. In a deep pan brown off some quorn pieces in frylight. Add 1 level tbsp of thai green curry paste, I used sharwoods and it comes in at 0.5...

Hi all, I'd love to join. Got my first meeting tomorrow, never done slimming world before but i've tried everything else. Did a very low cal diet a month or so ago, lost nearly a stone, kept it off but it wasn't something i could maintain. Myself and my friend are off to a meeting tomorrow...

I finished mine at the weekend, took no time to read, i loved it.... cant wait for all to finish now

Hellooo sorry for the lack of being around... Went home last wkend to my parent, I knew i was going to have to eat, but not how much... i tried not to have carbs but it meade my week a write off, i did weigh yesterday only 1 pound off... but still it's one would love to say im doing better...

got mine from the library this morning, havent been able to put it down, not much work done but the warmth of the summer at the beach is certainly brightening my afternoon in work...

Glad your picture finally popped up

I lost 4 pounds.... a little bit annoyed as i had actually lost that by the weekend, but there we go, 13 lbs total... 1lbs off a stone!!!!!!

Miriam... you will be fine, It is tough but i'm sure you will get through

I'm much more on track today need to really hit the water though as i seem to be slacking... well done on your loss sarah..... Just trying to keep myself busy today.... our office cleaner said i look very healthy though, so was quite pleased

So... I went running on saturday I walked for 2 hours yesterday morning.. Went and met a friend and went for another long walk.... I HAD AN ICE CREAM I'll admit it... I went without my third pack yesterday as semi punishment But i wasn't hungry, it was sunny and lovely and everyone was having...

Think i'm doing ok... Some day's great, others i really want to just sit and actually eat something.. However the weight loss is even noticable to me now so it is keeping me on track

Is it too late for me to join? I love reading, going to grab the book as my weekend treat if you lot will have me? :wave_cry:

Im stuck here at work till 8.30 I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing this weekend. I have the house to myself. I'm thinking i may have a run or a long walk... and do as i please i think. Have my little brother over for lunch on sunday but i think i'm going to cook a cottage pie, and carton it...

Yes, having three today Going to have my other half a hot choc in a bit.. And it's my treat night, so i'm going to stop off on the way home and get a bottle of pelligrinio... the glass bottle make's it feel like a treat. And yes, the date, it was ok-ish... i don't think i'm very good at...

well my 2L of water are gone,,,,, so i've just refilled my bottle... I had half a choc shake, hot, this morning... Veg soup for lunch, and ive picked at half a bar... as i'm sat at a desk i find it helps... Going to see if i can manage on just the half a hot choc and the other half a bar for my...

Well, we all seem to be having a quiet friday.... I feel really hungry today, and i'm feeling the whole ketosis symptoms quite badly again... I'm flushing hot one minuite, and then i've got my outdoor coat on the next... must look quite funny to everyone at work. But i've told everyone...

Miriam... maybe we should finally make an effort and go on our london trip, could be our treat... I don't mind the tomato soup..... it's not great, but i find a lot of ground black pepper help's loads... I'm not keen on thai chicken.... i find it quite bland, but i ordered 4 mixed exante...

Morning..... Left my hand blender at the office, had to have a hot chocolate... was ok, but i think chocolate is my least fave.... seem's to be very watery no matter what you do.. Still feeling ok though which is good. Lip's are really chapped but i'm drinking loads of water, will try for even...

I am going to go on a shopping spree.... and i think i may change my hair style... also i have wanted a tattoo for a while around my ankle... so officially miriam we are now going together

Sarah - your confidence will sour as you lose this weight. I love the banana shakes, one of my fave's. Just stopped off at the supermarket to get food for colleuges did'nt even think about getting myself anything, turned down the offer of some chocolate and some crisps and i just had a...

Hi all... 1'st actual weigh in on exante.. was 13st 10.... this morning 13st 1... 9 pound Loss Really really happy

oh my god, lucky you, would love to see mj.... it'll be fab

They are all great goal's sarah. As miriam can testify i was always very small, and very slender... something changed for me in my first serious relationship. My boyfriend was very paranoid about me running off with someone else.. I started to eat with him when we moved in together, he was...

I suffered with headaches miriam... think of it as a body reaction. I just drank more water and it seemed to clear it off... i suffered for about 4 days though. Glad you were'nt hungry this morning... i find im very rarely hungry now, think that is down to the water though... going to try that...

mmm i love the shakes i have to say.... I find it harder to get rid of the powdery taste in vanilla... But i really like banana...really fresh and you would never think it was a "diet shake"... I think i'm so excited as i get to weigh and post my 1st loss tomorrow. Seems ages since i started but...

well, have a new spring in my step today Had a strawberry shake this morning... which i like.. I've avoided all my mushroom soup pack, i didn't think i'd like them... After miriam liked her's so much yesterday i decided to blend one for lunch, and it is soooo nice, i think it may even be my...

Yes, i know what you mean, The twice i've eaten i've tried to stay off carbs.. My love of them really makes me want to never touch them again!!!! The kind of detox off them for those couple of days was so bad... I think even when i go back to eating i will be wary, i can see already my diet will...

i know, i am wide awake before my alarm, and i feel ready to do abit of excersize.. I did the tummy toning section of the davina dvd this morning... and i think i may go for a short jog/briskk walk tomorrow, I quite enjoy running but was a bit wary of pushing it when i first started but now my...

Sarah, well done on your 7 pounds, that is amazing, and shows that you still have great losses even on the working solution. I haven't really missed the whole eating thing, which shows how much i didnt actually need all that food... just that quick weigh in has really picked me up though. Plus...

Hi all My weekend was ok I did eat some solid food though i had a works night out on saturday night. I new it was going to long as we were meeting friends at 6pm and i knew i would be out till the early hour's I had a shake for breakfast saturday, Soup for lunch and then i made a kind of...

Well that's good then. It's so much more handy having people who are following the same plan. I just want to get the weekend out of the way so i can be closer to my weigh in, i can't wait to see.....

Well i would like to think so. I was slightly worried as i feel so full, and maybe a bit bloted, and i don't feel like im going without, makes me feel like i've not lost if you know what i mean.

I haven't really no. Ideally i am 13st 10, well i was on monday. I want to be in the 11stones somewhere. I don't know where as i can't remember being there. Also i am reasonably tall, and not the smallest build so i'm waiting to see what will look right on me. I've never wanted to be skinny...

I am posting on the new page.... seems very fresh My friend has recently joined up too. She is starting Exante on Monday so that's an extra one for us. Well i'm feeling better today. I must admit to a tempory wobble. I fel t so ill last night, It came on very quickly, i felt very faint, i got...

Happy Birthday!!!!!! & Congratulations on doing so well

Well i'll have to bring it in tomorow... i have an old slim fast shaker cup, but whisking yesterday wasn't good enough.. i'll just have to blend in front of everyone... yes, feeling freezing, it's like i have a chill, the lad next to me is sat in a short sleeved top and i have a tshirt, jumper...

Hi sarah Yesterday was my first day on exante. I have tried load's of diets, weight watchers, slimming world, rosemary connelly.... i'm even not a hater of excersize.. I found exante as i feel i need a strict regime and i am hoping one i see my week 1 losses it will spur me to keep at it. I did...

Well done on your fabulous loss sarah. And yes, very stressful, lot's of driving.. People at exante over the phone very very very helpful, hopefully the whole thing will be sorted today. I've officially started though. Went and picked up my package this morning. Looks so small in it's little...

Blistex tingly, clears em up in no time

Definatlely keep up the good work. People will always try and bring you down and are always skeptical of things they have little knowledge of. I've seen loads of your posts and was really inspired by your loss I am about to start my vlcd on exante.. I've been doing low carb for a little while...

I was out today all day had to work away in birmingham... ive been on the go since 7... wont get home till about 10... I am crossing fingers that i will have a delivery note though and hopefully i can go collect in the morning and get going... Had a slight shock today though, ordered on the...

Yes i was wondering that 2... couldnt see where to add a photo at all , but that may be me being inept

Thanks all... Feels so much better having a tonne of people to chat to about this. I've been raving about the site to various friend's who diet. I have stuck with it all day and any time i have had a slight craving i've got on here and read someone's story or looked at the amazing pictures. It...

fab... was slightly worried what my stomach will look like...ha ha

Yes, it was good, once the nice toasty smell goes away it will be better... I was thinking earlier... what does anyone do about excersize... Now i don't think i will be going overboard on these minimal calories... but was thinking of doing the toning parts of some fitness dvd's .......

No delivery for me today!!! Quite sad... ha ha... I'm going to be out tomorrow morning and i doubt any neighbours will be in, have to do the whole post office collection thing.. Going lower on carb today tho..... and drinking a tonne of water, Just turned down a hot cross bun and cup of tea...

Hiya.. I ordered friday. So maybe tomorrow or tuesday. So not a massive time to curb the carb, and im a real carb addict aswel so i try and limit them, buy limit i just mean none at night, and i lost a teeny bit that way.. I think i just need something strict as if i'm left to my own devices i...

Thanks so much... i'm kind of exciting about starting, which is weird.. you have done so well sarah.... i think your weight loss has spurred me to want to start. the people at exante were really friendly and helpful so that was good. coming on these forums is already spurring me on
