6lb lost, pleased with that. Had light ws meals over the weekend just one a day and time of the month

Thanks Norwegian Girl. I've been hungry still today, so had a bit of haddock and poached eggs for tea, but still on the diet. Looking forward to weigh in on Monday and hopefully losing 7 pounds (well that's the plan). Blimming car didn't start when I left work, don't know what's wrong with it...

Thanks for the encouragement. I've just had a bouillion so that helped. What day are you on? How are you finding it?

Not in a good mood today....cold is even worse and I want to eat :mad: But I've not, so that's the good news. My husband is cooking himself a massive meal, which is really annoying:mad: Sorry, just had to vent

OK day 2 almost complete and no cheating. Went to the gym yesterday and due to go again tomorrow. Also have a cold. Just trying to stay focused on my first WI on this restart and the goal of looking good on my holiday in August

I'm back, god I really need to try and stick with a diet and stop yoyo dieting OK, day 1 today, wish me luck

back on track today, no wine and only a nibble of celery and ham. Looking forward to friday and my official night off though. Off to the gym tomorrow, feel like I haven't been for ages, mind you its nearly a week

Wow, getting slack at posting on my diary. I finished of the bottle of wine over a couple of days, although have been fairly good. Today though had a whole bottle of wine ;). Naughty me, but I have still be trying to be good. I'm still have shakes and bars for at leasr 2 out of 3 meals, so not...

Thanks again Oxo. Been a bit naughty today ANC had a stir fry for dinner a 2 glasses of wine, was so nice. Im having a relaxed week next week as I'm out next Friday so not stressing too much about the diet

Oh yeah forgot to mention, I had a fish pedicure today, that was a weird experience, not sure I'll bother repeating it, although feet do feel softer

Hello diary, well weigh in today was CRAP only lost 1lb so disappointed as I've not even cheated, other than celery and ham :(. I think it may be to do with the exercise, anyway I'm going to carry on. Been to the gym tonight and for a swim. Feel really bloated at the moment, which probably...

Well done Oxo that's a great loss. Keep up the good work

Back to being hungry again :confused: Had top munch on a bit of celery and chicken when I got home from work, never mind as probably a good thing as I've just done a body combat class, man it was even harder than the last one (different instructor). Really hoping for a good loss this week...

Thanks oxo. How are you getting on?

Yep well done, what a great achievement. I know someone at work also did it. I bet it was quite scenic as well, some great sights on the way.

Quiet day today, at home with my family. Cooked roast chicken and had a very very small meal of chicken and a couple of pieces of veg. Had a bad night last night, woke early with tummy pains after taking a constipation tablet :( Also really cheesed off than I have been TOTM for a whole week...

Been swimming today and a sauna and jucuzzi, was very nice. But still finding myself quite hungry, so nibbled some celery and managed to cook the family toad in the hole. Its hard cooking for them and not eating, but needs must. Also rerally missing a glass of wine, but I'm having a night off...

Been a bit naughty today had a couple of peices of chicken and chipolaters at work :D As boss bought a buffet breakfast for everyone. Also had some ham at tea time, man I was hungry today. And I so ache from circuit training. Think I might go swimming tomorrow and for a little sun bed to...

Thanks Muffy, you hav e done great too Just back from the gym and done circuit training, think I'm gonna suffer tomorrow. Best have a good weight loss next week with the exercise being done as well. Had a couple of slices of ham and a stick of celery today, but thought I needed something...

Hi, bl bars are biggest loser bars you can get them in asda and tesco. I found a place that sold them on line. If you have s look at my previous messages you will see who (sorry on mobile so I can't see it myself) x

Its annoying as the week before I had a whole night off and still lost the same??? And that included cheese, bread and wine. It makes you want to repeat the naughty stuff. But I have another night off at the end of this month, so its looks like I will have 1 night off a month until Christmas...

Thanks DustQeen, Had an ok day today. Quite pleased with WI, but would have honestly like 4lb lost, but hey can't grumble too much. Had a light meal tonight of haddock, poached egg and salad. Been busy looking for a new job as I being made redundant early next year :mad:

Ok quick post to say lost 3 lb this week. Not bad considering TOTM

Been good today. Only vaguely naughty but was a stick of celery and a slice of ham. Went to the gym and did my first ever body combat class, that was hard work, but enjoyable. I think I'll do another class on Thursday. Weigh in tomorrow, but also TOTM, so not sure how many pounds I will...

Had a good day today, think I'm defo in ketosis as I'm managing to NOT think about food for once. Had a bad night last night work up at 4am with really bad some pain didn't know whether to sit on the loo or hang my head over it :(. Nothing happened so went back to bed. Then this morning got up...

Good luck, you sound determined, which is half the battle x

Not a bad day today, been busy cooking, washing and ironing. Cooked roast chicken and had some with a few veg, no potatoes etc and only a very small meal. So should be ok ketosis wise. Seems to be time of the month again??? This diet does seem to be playing havoc with my periods. I've gone...

Thanks Dustqueen, you have done amazing, not much more to go x

Been looking at dresses for sale, figure I could be in a size 16 for christmas, how nice would that be. Also my 40th birthday in early March and would love to be a size 12, I wonder if that's possible???

Today not been too hungry although have been a bit naughty. had some celery and for tea just ahd haddock poached eggs and salad, hopefully won't effect ketosis, but find its nice to eat a small meal at the weekends. Might try and head to the gym tomorrow and work off a few calories. Took my...

Yes go out and enjoy yourself. I had one night off and got straight back on to the diet the next day. Its hard work being a parent and you deserve a night off. Enjoy x

Hi Emily, Good luck with exante, once you get past the first week things get easier. Side effects are usually just in the first few days, headaches, tiredness etc. Constipation seems to be ongoing with some people. Sounds like you will be distracted and kept busy running after 5 kids, so...

Well done for resisting all the naughty foods and wine, it does get hard sometimes. Once you start the weekly weigh in's they really help to keep you motivated. Good luck x

Today has been ok, although I have been hungry, not sure why that is as I must have hit ketosis :confused: Mum is coming out of hospital so that's good news. Ordered my 2nd month bumper pack of Exante, just shakes this time as I ordered 30 BL bars on line, they are my favourite and at 99p it...

My daughters first day at school today, she looked so sweet. All the excitement of that meant I wasn't too focused on food, so a good day, no nibbles.

You look amazing, well done. Loving the outfit as well

Just had a small chicken salad, think I'm in ketosis now or on the verg of it. Back to TR day tomorrow. Think I'm back in the diet mode now so looking forward to the weight dropping off. Saw Mum in hospital today and think she will be sent hope in the next few days, so that's good news

3 lb off this morning pleased with that given my day off the diet

Honk

Been good all day today, no extra's just 2 shakes and a BL bar. Hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow morning. Not sure if I'm in ketosis yet, I'm blimming cold, but think that may be cos it is blimming cold!

Well done that's a great result

Good luck for your first weigh in, it sounds like you have done really well, I'm sure you will be in the 14's now x

ok been good today with the exception of 2 sticks of celery. Just finished sewing name tags in my daughters school uniform. First day of school on Thursday, can't believe how quickly its gone. Anyway the sewing distracted me from food. I even contiplated defrosting the freezer, but will save...

Great dress, you look fab, well done

Quick daily weigh in this morning and the 2lb increase has now gone. So just need to lose more so I still have a loss for the week. Strictly TS for me for the next couple of days

Hi Lisa, Good luck on the diet, it does really work, personally I think the meal replacement diets are easier as the weight goes quickly and keeps you motivated. That's not to say its easy and the first week is hard. The thing with diet coke and coke zero is that diet coke has citric acid...

Think I'm out of ketosis now due to cheese and wine evening. But I am determined to get back in to ketosis. I weighed myself and seemed to have put on 2lb, gutted. But onwards and upwards or downwards for the scales. I had a small meal with the family, just a bit of meat and a couple of...

How are you getting on today, hope you are doing ok

OK, so I had a day off from dieting yesterday, well evening only and had wine and cheese, it was a great night and everyone was merry :D Back on the diet this morning, had some bacon and poached eggs this morning to get me going and just had a shake.

I think it said best before dates were Nov 2011, so I'm sure I will scoff them before then :D

Not having a great day today. First of all noticed I had my shirt on inside out at work :o Then I manage to hit my eye with the hoover and think I may have a blackeye now! Also been hungry today, so had a small prawn salad for tea. Got a bit of a dilema tomorrow as hosting a cheese and wine...

Good luck Mandy, hope ketosis kicks in soon for you.

Good luck for WI tomorrow, glad you had a nice holiday

Good luck Sam, get through the first week and it becomes a lot easier, drink plenty of water and have plenty of trips to the loo as a result :D

Hi Leyla, I've done CD before and the diets are very similar, Exante just seems a lot cheaper, I don't see why you can't switch between the two, I know others have. The shakes aren't as sweet, which I prefer. I still don't like the soups, but its all a matter of pesonal taste. Best of luck Liz

Well done Holly, you have done really well with your weight loss. I'm happy with 4lb, long may it continue :D

yes it should be fine, I had a couple over the weekend and didn't effect ketosis

why not have some chicken or ham and a bit of salad, it won't do you any harm and will keep you in ketosis Best of luck

Found this website where you can get biggest losers bars for 99p, please note postage and packing for 30 was £5.25, but still a lot cheaper than in the shops The biggest online seller of clearance food and drinks | Approved Food

Weigh in went well 4lbs off so only 1lb short of my 1 stone target for 2 weeks. Next target is 2 stone is 6 weeks. Been to see Mum in hospital and she seems to be improving so a good day all round :D

Thank Holly, well done on last weeks WI and good luck for tomorrow

Hi Emma, I've just started a diary. I thought it would keep me motivated, also it will be nice to reflect on in a few months when I am still on the diet (being positive), but shifted a few stone. I find it really interested to read other people diaries and you see them getting closer and closer...

OK another day under my belt and been good all day. My Mum got taken in to hospital last night so have been up there for a good few hours today, but took a bottle of water with me and stuck with the no eating. Tummy feels better today as I took a dulcolax yesterday, that coupled with stress...

It is strange how it is harder after the first time to lose the weight. I think though first time you are more scared to cheat. Weigh in day is Wedesday, obviously lost the ability to count whilst dieting :D

Thanks Julie

OK, so this is my first time at a diary. I have previously done CD and did well losing 4 stone and stuck to it religiously. I have now put ALL the weight back on over the last 2 years :cry: So here I am on my Exante adventure, I did try CD again but didn't manage it past the first week! I am...

Not good at all. It must be water retention, hope you enjoyed the food anyway

Welcome back and good luck on the last bit of your weight loss, you have done really well already. So did you do Exante to start with and then weightwatchers?

Not having a great weekend in between arguing with husband and eating, I'm not a happy bunny. Although I have only been eating salad and a bit of meat. Really need to get my @rse in to gear. Have been good today though

well done, can't wait to join you, although got a while to go

Nice to hear from you and well done on 10lb lost in your first week that's amazing. Funny how we both had a bad day. I'm hoping to be good from now on though. I'm off to a family party shortly MUST RESIST FOOD :D It does sound like we made sensible choices anyway with our food, so lets hope the...

Not had a great day today already added two meals today! Went to Mcdonalds and had a chicken salad no dressing so shouldn't be to bad and then had a prawn salad for tea. Haven't had any carbs though so fingers crossed it won't make too much difference. Last night by mistake I drank a glass of...

Why not try added a sweetner in the shakes and maybe tabassco or chilli flakes in the soups? Good luck anyway, try and percevere

Andy that is great well done to you and the whole family! It must be great that you are all doing the diet. I have a skinny husband and its very fustrating :mad:

How about som nail scissors in a little manicure set? Glad I'm not allowed anyway. Your replies have made ma laugh :D

Good luck with IVF, hope to hear of your baby news in the near future x

Thanks Missy, you did well too, keep up the good work

Thanks and good luck for tomorrow and your first full day

You wil be there in no time at all, keep up the good work :)

Morning lost 9lb in first week. Happy with that

Glad I'm not alone :)

Tis great, I've saved it thanks

OK it is just me that struggles to open the shake packets??? I have to use scissors :eek:

Very well said

Will do :p

How is everyone today? I'm still being good and weigh in tomorrow, fingers crossed for a good loss although now seems to be TOTM

Yep you are right ladies its greed, mental hunger and boredom I think :D

I just had a very very small meal, 1 piece of brocceli, 1 piece of cauliflower about 4 slices of courgette and 3 slices of chicken, so should only be about 200 cals. I did still have 3 packs as well. Not eating any other day except Sundays, its a little treat for me and something to look forward...

Hi Missy and charlies mum. I'm on day 5 I think? I'm still getting headaches and the occassional hungry moments, not sure if its habit or hungar though. So not sure if I'min ketosis yet. I like the bars and the shakes, I've not tried the soups yet. I bought some biggest loser bars at asda today...

Well done you have done great, what is your target?

How did you get on? Hope you are doing ok

Well done that's an amazing amount to lose :happy096:

Hi Miss Gina, I'm doing ok thanks although went food shopping for husband and daughter and that made me really wanna eat, but I didn't. They munched out on pizza and I had a shake. I am cooking roast chicken tomorrow and will have a few bits of chicken and some veg, I did this last time and it...

Good luck and welcome. The first few days are quite tough, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm day 4 today, can't wait for day 7 and weigh day. Just keeping posting and it will help you loads

Kazz- love your post it made me giggle. Yep we could looks loads slimmer by the end of x-factor. Mind you I'm going to be pleased to get to the end of celeb bb 3 weeks and we should be getting used to it by then

Well done Andy, sounds like you are doing well Miss Gina- how are you getting on? I've managed to resist food today again so 100% compliance in 3 days. Had a great time at Pleasurewood hills as well. Watched BB last night, not too sure about who they have put in to, although Robbie is quite...

Hi Tink, hope you feel better soon, sounds like Willow might have a possible diagnosis! I'm just back from pleasurewood hills, had a great day and managed to resist food, so day 3 nearly completed

Hi Miss Gina, I'm doing ok had pains in my tummy but other than that not to bad. Its boredom and habit that seems to make me want to eat, but I know I've really got to make an effort this time. I just had a vanilla shake with ice and coffee that was nice. Going to watch Big brother later, sad...

Well done Katt on making it to day 18

Thanks for the replies, hopefully it will settle soon, I had it before my lunchtime bar though?

Had to put the heating on as well as I am freezing

Survived day 1 and nearly through day 2, but have really bad tummy cramps. Off to Pleasurewood Hills tomorrow so that should distract me, the first few days are hard though :(

well done, its funny how we can get excited about being called overweight :)

Hi everyone. I'm on day 2 and have really bad cramps in my tummy is this normal? They are more like a stitch then period pains. I haven't cheated as all, so not doing to bad so far. Some good losses this week, well done

Hi Gina, I'm starting tomorrow as well. don't eat anything, have breakfast as a shake, lunch as a bar and then a shake for tea and drink loads and loads of water. You can have tea and coffee with sweetner and I have skimmed milk as well. This is the way I did Cambridge diet and managed to lose...

Thanks for such a warm welcome. I've posted on the August new starters post as well. My pack has arrived today so all set for D day tomorrow. Miss Gina, good to have another Zumba buddy. I have a class tomorrow, so that should distract me from hunger pains. Are you starting tomorrow or...

Evening ladies, There has been some fab losses - well done everyone. My first pack arrived today so day 1 for me tomorrow. Had an interview for a new job today as being made redundant soon and that seemed to go well. So already for a new start and a new me :party0011:

Hi everyone, I'm starting soon, just ordered the 4 week pack. I've done CD before and lost 4 stone, but have put it all back on over the last 2 years.

Hi All, I've ordered my first batch of Exante the 4 week one with shakes and bars. I did CD before and did really well, losing about 4 stone, but have put it back on over the last couple of years :cry: I did try to restart CD but failed about 6months ago. So this is it, I've got to do Exante...

I know I think that takes the Micky a bit

Don't beat yourself up about it, as Awaken me says, just have your shake and get back on the diet straight away

Yep I'm going be watching it too, I've never watched the American one- which is on Living Jayellekay

Amazing loss - well done

Well done, next week will be easier as well for you

Good luck for your official weigh in, I'm sure you will be pleasently surprised

I'm not really starving I just really want to eat food. Think I will ask for the bars on wednesday. I'm having the odd SS+ meal as well but to be honest it just seems to make me want to eat more. I miss my wine as well. Oh dear seems harder 2nd time around :(

I'm not keen on the maple porridge, but love the apple one

Hows everyone doing today? I'm still struggling but have stuck with it. Hope you are all doing ok.

I'm hungry too, trying hard not to think of food. Home from work now and the temptation is even worse. I MUST NOT EAT. How is everyone else doing?

Hi Jayellekay, I know what you mean about being excited but nervous, I'm currently enjoying my last glass of wine, then tomorrow is D day or should that be CD day! Anyway best of luck for tomorrow, I'll be at work so will catch up with everyone once I get back

Can I join you as I'm starting tomorrow as well. I lost 4 stone 2 years ago on this Diet, but have put on about 3 stone since then. I need to update all my stats. Best of luck x

I have discovered how to get my husband to change the toilet block, you need to buy toilet ducks fresh disc, they come with a gun to stick them in the bowl so no messy cage and my DH can't wait to replace them every week :8855::8855::8855::8855:

Hi, I remember feeling like that for the first couple of weeks, it does get easier. perhaps speak to your CDC, you may need to add another pack?? keep up the good work :hug99:

Hi, thanks for replying. I'm finding it really easy some days and really hard other days. As a rule I'm not hungry I just crave eating proper food and in particular carbs :sigh: How are you getting on? I'm exercising as well, I have a Wii and am doing Wii fit and my fitness coach, which...

Hi everyone :p I've been reading for a little while, but took the plunge and registered today. it seems a great site and very supportive. I have been doing CD for 7 weeks and have lost 2 & 1/2 stone already, but still have a fair way to go. I'm doing a mixture of SS (3 packs) with skimmed...
