My OH and I walk most evenings (between 2 and 3 miles). For us it's an hour on are own to just to reconnect. We then have our shake to look forward to LOL.

Apart from the choclate which is very bland, I like them all......like Starlight, I just order the shakes. I just see it as a means to an end.

With fruit teas I think it's the citric acid. My sister had problems last year with them as they left her feeling hungry all the time, didn't seem to affect her weight loss though.

Good luck!!

I now have that Disney song stuck in my head lol. On the subject of swimming a few of the community pools in Swansea have a ladies only session and all shapes and sizes attend. Are in Swansea Uni or Metropolitan? My neice is studying for a BEd at Metropolitan.

Fins crossed I got it right this time.......however can't guarantee it won't happen again, but I will try and be more careful, we're all working hard to get this weight off!

Thanks simples....now I can't wait to be "normal"

Wonderful weight loss..........btw I still get out of the bath on one knee.........I'm either old LOL or prob harks back to when I broke my leg. I love the fact you need more water to fill the bath!!

Another milestone reached, I am now officially overweight, sounds so much better than obese!!:bliss::bliss::bliss::bliss:

Thanks for all the greetings, hope everyone is having a good week so far and all numbers pointing downwards.

Mine's from Finding Nemo.........I have a lot in common with Dory and somwhere in the film she says shes a natural blue! My OH calls me a malteaser.......brown on the outside but blonde in the middle LOL.

3lbs this week (pleased as I had a day off with OH - but returned to plan with no problems!!) Angie-bum: 18lbs lost 37lbs to go slimmer Bridezilla: 9 lbs lost 47lbs to go Susie Slimmer:0lb lost 31lbs to go Shirleen : 0lb lost 56lbs to go colly strings: 0lb lost 70lbs to go Babystar:0lb lost...

Hi I'm Naturalblue, like Dreamingmaid I starte Exante last year and managed to maintain until Easter, :17729:sort of went off the rails from then on and put the weight back on :break_diet:so along with OH I'm on TFR and plan to be successful again. I've lurked for 2 weeks but thought now's the...

Well chuffed........couldn't believe it, didn't do that well first time round. I'm on TS until half term, then I'm off to my SIL in Germany with the kids for a week so I'll be off plan then.....maybe carry on with TS or WS depending on how much I have to lose. Good luck...you know you can do it!!!

Hi Dreamingmaid............I'm back too!! 3 stone for me (crept on from Easter....don't know how LOL....apart from copious amounts of choccie, chinese and wine). Started 2 weeks ago and 1 stone down so not too bad. OH has joined me this time.

Hi all...........sitting watching the Tour de France.......for the sport !!!.......the fact that they are all lithe muscular men in tight shorts is an optional extra LOL. Anyway interesting fact....these guys are burning around 6000 cals per stage (7000 - 8000 cals on the mountain stages.) If...

Hi Gina...............WA=Wedding Anniversary...22nd this year

I've been so lucky in other people's responses to the diet. This is probably due to the fact that quite a few of the community nursing staff seem to be on LL.......so the progress has been noted. I've had a lot of enquiries since I 've started, my sister joined me and has lost 2 stone and...

Hi all,welcome to Quak, Marieb and lovely to see you back Bex. I went off the soups about a month and a half ago. Still love the bars and shakes. My sister still enjoys the soups so I guess we're all different. Good luck on your weigh in days

Pleased to say 3lbs off this week and 20% total loss. Back on TS until my WA on 08.08.09. Has been difficult this week but I think I'm back in the zone now.

Wow DM you are doing so well......fantastic losses....may they continue.

Thanks Sarah....you're right I think I've cracked it. Another celebration last Sunday for my sister's Master's, so proud of her achievement. She's also on Exante and has lost 2 stone (in 2 months). She is more rigid/focussed than me hence her weight loss has been more rapid than mine but hey ho...

That's brilliant Gina....good luck for goal...not long now!!!

Another pound off. little slow I know. (Couldn't possibly be due to the fact that I had a lovely Indian takeaway(did share a starter and main with OH) and lots of bubbly to celebrate OH birthday could it LOL) I'm enjoying WS who wouldn't, but think I'd better go back to TS for a couple of weeks...

Thanks DM, Sarah and Isha for your kind comments.

Well done Gina..fingers and toes crossed.

OMG!!!! DM you look absolutely fabulous. Keep it up until target. Looking forward to seeing your case study on Exante along sides Sarah's showing this diet really works.

Hi Sarah.....not long now. You have been such an inspiration........so looking forward to you reaching target. We are all rooting for you on the Exante board.

You must be on cloud nine :character00100: with such brilliant losses. Well done DM

Welcome MA to our happy little group.

Good luck and enjoy......it's a great plan. I'm definitely drinking more water at the moment LOL

I'm with Sarah..........combine HS and shakes, bars as needed. At least somewhere like Lanzarote means you can have lovely salads and plenty of grilled fish........mmmmm

Another 2lbs gone. 2/3 of the weight gone. Will go back to TS this week as I'm celebrating OH birthday tonight.....Indian takeaway is on the menu........so I'll be good for the week and think of WS the following week as it's really nice having food as well as the shakes.

Wow....such a fantastic loss. You are doing so well.............it's such a wonderful feeling when clothes start to fit again.

Brilliant loss Emily, well done.....8 weeks will fly by and I can't see why you won't reach target in that time.

Great weight loss Gina, hope you reach your targets.

1lb off for me this week. Have been trying AAM, chicken salad never tasted so good. May stay on WS....will go with the flow....loving the weight loss and remain totally shocked that I'm actually enjoying this whole diet. So glad I made this choice.

Glad you had the weather. Fantastic weight loss...you must be so pleased. Keep it up

Good luck Lyn.....it's funny I didn't like the choclate shake either....and I'm (or is that was LOL) a chocoholic.

Hi to Sonia, Gina and Ime...........hope you are all having a great week.

I echo DM's comments...you look totally fabulous.........way to go Sarah.

Congratulations on your will power. Good luck for Wednesday.....you definitely deserve a good loss. Did you enjoy your holiday?

Brilliant weight loss Emily...well done.

2lbs off for me this week.....really pleased as I'm now just into the 10's :party0011::party0011:

Does anyone else have a specific item of clothing that they would love to fit back into? For me it's a pair of size 12 cropped jeans from Next that I haven't worn for about 5-6 years. I can now get them up my legs but not at zipping up stage yet. I use them as a visual aid to my weight loss...

I too have bought a set of WW scales from Argos..really good and less than £20

3lbs off for me this week. Really pleased after my gripe and moan session last week..........so close to getting back into the 10's. Maybe next week. Good luck to all in the coming week

Well done Ebony....don't you just love those bonus pounds!!!:D

Well done Em and DM.....Fab weight losses. We should total our weely losses just to see as a group how much we lose each week....I think we'd be better than the "Biggest Losers".

Thanks Ebony....back to feeling motivated. Will check in with my sister tomorrow to see how she's doing.

Like DM would love to do but shy....but as the products are so great I would love to promote the company and hope others would follow suit. I'll PM you.

Have a geat weeks holiday DM.

Same here.............I weigh on Saturdays, after OH has gone to work and before brood get up. Don't want to frighten them LOL.

Hi Bex, glad to hve you back. Sorry CD didn't work out, but it's our gain Good luck especially with such an important goal at the end.

Hi Flumpy......great to see you back. How are you doing?

Hi all....I agree with Sugasaker and Bex....splitting packs help as does lots of water too. For some reasn my tum gets very grumbly in the evening.....I don't think it's hunger though.........I tend to sound like a growly teddy bear LOL. Try and get the OH on board, it really helps and believe...

Hi Pink and welcome......the plans are brilliant so if you stay focussed you should reach your mini targets. I've split mine down into acheivable goals so as to keep focussed and the momentum going. It really does work, so good luck!!

Hi BP.....i totally agree with you....I've followed countless diets over the last 20 years...lost weight, regained etc. This is the first one that you really can't justifiably cheat on. The only way to cheat is eat and at the moment I'm loving the weight loss too much. I love the products and...

Excellent result Sarah...you deserve every pound off. As our trailblazer, it certainly gives me plenty of reassurance that a) I can do this and b)even with trial and error you can still have a weight loss.

Well done Val.......less than a stone left now!!!!

Thanks to Ebony, DM, GaynorEm, Vix and Sarah for you're support. Better frame of mnd this week. Although I did fancy a big bag of chips after my walk this evening....LOL....had a strawberry shake instead. My sister has now started on Exante,is on her second week and well on the way to losing 10lbs

Well 2lbs off for me this week. Initially I was disappointed as I wanted that 2 stone. But picked all my toys back up...had a real good look at myself and realised I've had some fantastic compliments from people I work with who have all noticed the weight loss this week. I've lost more in 8...

Ebony...congratulations on a fantastic first week loss. It's a great diet isn't it?

Over 2 stone gone now DM....briliant and another target reached. It's a lovely feeling isn't it?

Hi Sarah, well even with all that delicious food you stayed the same....good luck for the rest of the week....you've come so far and deserve a fantastic loss.

Another great loss, everyone is doing so well on this diet...whichever plan they're following. Glad to see such positive results.

The 10's...........oooh I can't wait. Well done Vix... fingers and toes crossed for next week whichever diet you decide to follow.

A great loss...well done....how are you doing this week??

Hi Valerie and welcome....hope your first week is going well. It's nice to see another consultant here....makes you feel good that the diet is definitely endorsed by those promoting the products.

I walk between 2 - 4 miles every evening with the OH, who is also trying to lose weight. I am considering the new personal trainer pack for the wii....thank goodness for teenagers and all their gadgets LOL.

A pound off this week. Not bad as I had 2 days off and really enjoyed myself. Also bought new scales (old ones showed a 2lb loss !!.....dilemma should I go for old or new weight LOL). Obviously went for new scales reading and will keep to these from now on. All in all it's in the right direction.

:welcome2:Ebony and good luck. It's a lovely group here. Very supportive.

Miserable weather here.........just chilling out....on A/L as it's half term. Trying to resist temptation.

DM.....you looked fab.....and are going to this time. Word of caution....no more babies for a little while...enjoy the figure LOL.

Hi DM.....your losses are fantastic....a loss is a loss regardless of the amount (mmm...does that make sense??). Better than a gain. Onwards and downwards.

Well done Emily...you must be feeling very pleased. Have a great time with your mum.

Ladies.............I can't wait to be dull LOL.

I'm with GaynorEm, Vix....sounds like water retention....stick with it..we'll all be celebrating your loss next week.

Fantastic loss.....I don't think you have a problem shifting 21lb in that time scale...I know the losses will slow down but you are doing really well.

SCFC.....thank goodness you beat Millwall.....the thought of Millwall and Cardiff in th same league did fill me with dread. LOL. Glad you had a great day on Sunday.

I know what you mean. However there is lght at the end of the tunnel. I've never been this commited before. I've done WW twice, Slimming Magazine and SW. SW was the worst I only lost 10lbs the whole time....couldn't take it seriously. It's a lot harder to cheat on TS LOL, you either have food or...

We had a fabulous time.......still can't believe my baby is 21!! Got Sun and Mon off this week and then its all systems go for June.

:scale::scale: Afraid I'm another serial scale hopper. Drives my OH insane....he's a once a week man....doesn't undestand the compulsion, bless him.

:vibes:Just keep thinking positively....the 2nd week is the worst.

Vix......it's because you've reached 50+ posts.:D

Thanks Em.....same to everyone else as well

Funnily enough I've been feeling hungry this week....could because I had food on Sunday !!!! LOL I would love to go to Disney World....if that's not an incentive to get to goal what is......we're all behind you. I'm trying to organise time to visit my sister in Paris....I'll go and see French...

Benn back on track this week after the birthday celebrations. So pleased to announce another 3lbs off. One more distraction to go and then hopefully I'm going to stick to 100% TS for June.

This is the first time I've tried a VLCD and the packs are really nice.....really love the shakes and bars....would recommend it to anyone

Still smiling. It was hard at lunchtime today in the office as the district nurses were all eating....I was just drooling LOL. But I'm just counting down to Sun as I'm having 2 days off. Last ones....will try to be 100% for June. Glad to hear you're feeling OK....I think it does get easier...

Thanks Vicky...seeing the results is exactly what's keepng me motivated at present. I hope I can keep up the momentum

Thanks Sugashaker. Good luck on exante...WS or TS?

PS should read planned not panned hehe.....poor typing skills.

I'm doing TS at present with a few panned blips. Will be looking for inspiration soon for WS as DM and Sarah are doing so well. Perhaps Sarah could start a WS thread......begging on knees.

I've not had any problems to date. I order 2 weeks at a time and this would have been my 4th order. Like you can't imagine soup for brekkie.

Hi Bex...typical day is Breakast (8 - 8.30) Shake Lunch (when I get the time LOL) A bar Dinner (6 - 6.30) soup or shake..trying to alternate at present as I'm not loving the soups at the mo. Around 3litres of water throughout the day, and when dry a 2-4 mile walk with OH

Hi Vicky....I wonder if it's because the expiry date were really close??? I was going to order my next lot..guess I 'll hold on as I'm already struggling with the soup.

Hi Lisa.....good luck with the exams. That has to be your focus to be honest. When I'm stressed I eat.....I took my degree a few years back and that's when I was my heaviest. I did manage to lose 7lbs towards the end of the course, but that's only because I broke my leg and spent a week in...

Thanks GaynorEm...luckily the team I work with are really supportive as well as my OH, it's great as the weight loss is starting to be noticable. On the other side of the scale my eldest has lost weight (she has an overactive thyroid and has had a change in medication) so we're trying to...

DM you must be over the moon.....I must admit WS is looking more an more apealing seeing both yours and Sarah's losses.

I'm with you on that one GaynorEm....hopefully we'll all deal with that problem at some point during this "journey"

PS I had so many lovely comments on Sunday....was wearing a size 12 dress!!!!! :woohoo:not seen the light of day since 1996 LOL (never throw anything out) Now bordering on size 14 (down from size 18) in most clothes.

Hi to Emily and Gaynorem....it's great to see our little community growing.Really supportive here. Sarahp is our resident guru and my inspiration to keep going. Struggled a little yesterday after champagne, cake and fooood on Sunday, but now back in ketosis, so fingers crossed to remain 100% TS

Hi Nearly40...hope you have a fab birthday :birthday:....good luck with exante...it really does work!!

Hi Vix....excellent weight loss. Keep up the good work.

Hi Lisa....how are you doing this week. Please don't give up hope...just look in the mirror...you'e looking great and still losing. I know it's hard but just remember....you haven't gained it's still gong one way and that's down!!! Hi Bex, sorry to hear about your bad news

Don't worry I'm confused as well LOL. Birthady celebrations were fantastic. Back on 100% as of Monday. Fingers crossed that I do lose. Will be having 2 days off next week for B/H :17729:then down to serious work.

Hi Bex .....which team do you support? Unfortunately we were outside the playoffs.....ah well, maybe next year.:wave_cry:

I was 100% for this weeks weight loss, but I'm going off plan tomorrow for my daughter's birthday. Will go straight back to TS on Monday. It'll be interesting to see what I lose next Saturday.

Hi Lyn, welcome to our little corner. :welcome2:

Well, I'm another one on cloud nine, 4lbs off this week. Can enjoy my daughter's birthday :birthday: tomorrow, feel relaxed and back on TS Monday, knowing that I will still probably have a weight loss at the end of the week. It is so worth the hard work when we see such fantastic results. Good...

Sarah, with news like that I bet you're shouting it from the rooftops. A fantastic achievement, such an inspiration to us all. Good luck on SS:eatdrink051:

Hi Vix....I went straight back on plan (can't believe my willpower) ...I knew I was going to off plan 3 times during May, but I'm so determined this time that it's going to work. I've made sure that I always have food packs so I can't use excuses. This is the 3rd year I've started a weight loss...

Hi Lisa......finally got to 50 posts and so can see your photos. You look fantasic, I'd keep going until you feel happy. I've been down this road several times but have never reached goal. People say "you don't need to lose more" or "you'll look scrawny" This time I'm not stopping until I get to...

Glad you're having such a good week Lisa....good luck for weigh in. I'm hoping to get under 12 this week......we're getting there. Go Lisa go!!!!!!

Well that's the way I'm thinking. After all if I'm enjoying it then I'm most likely to stick to it. Still walking....despite blisters and rain LOL. My OH is trying to lose weight as well and totally dedicated to the walking

Fantastic loss DM .......:wow:with food as well.:eatdrink051:Keep up the good work. can't wait to get to WS, I plan to start end of June.

Hi Vix, I'm on TS, started 14.04.09. I'm doing just fine, struggling with the soups at present. Hate the mushroom :badmood:at present. Had 2 days off for B/H and managed to lose 1lb. Going to carry on though as it's totally suiting me. Hopefully I'll manage to get through the soups then I'll...

Hi Vix....just like you I googled VLCD and found both exants and this forum. I love the shakes and bars but after 4 weeks I'm really struggling with the soups. Especially thai chicken and mushroom :sick0019: (sorry if that's TMI). I'm thinking of just having 2 shakes and a bar, SarahP would...

Hi Lisa.....thoughts and prayers are with you. Fingers and toes crossed for good news. Keep strong and positive...we'll all be here for you even if you just want to have a grumble.:gen126:

Fantastic loss, Sarah.....go girl!! Well we've all been losers this week. Something to be very proud of. Let's keep up the good work:girlpower::whacky068:

Hi DM....we have a family meal planned at a lovely Italian restaurant that is situated right by the sea and so has fabulous views. There'll be about 20 of us (and that's just my immediate family, can't beat Italian/Irish Catholic families LOL :grouphugg:) So, sorry....exante goes out the window...

Hi Becky..I use 3 packs a day. Shake for breakfast. Split the bar during the day and then the soup for dinner. Despite fancying other foods, I'm not hungry...just thnking of food LOL. I drink about 3L water a day as well. I'm hoping to keep to TS until June and then review...maybe move to WS as...

I'm also a work in the community as a school/clinic nurse. I work with 2 health visitors (in different offices), one has just lost 31/2 st with LL, so getting plenty of encouragement there. Have told the girls in the other office as well....really encouraging and interested in the diet. I tend...

A pound off. Pleased as it could have been much worse after last week. Going for 100% TS this week.

A 1lb for me this week. Pleased as I've had 2 days off and when I weighed after the weekend I'd gained 2lbs. So still happy to be showing a loss. Going for 100% this week, then a day off....my daughter's 21st. Got to celebrate that in style. She has learning and physical disabilities and has...

Hi Becky.... :wow:fantastic weight loss. You must be on cloud nine :character00100:. Well done. :girlpower:

Hi Lisa....not expecting great things this week as I had Sun and Mon off.........went away with family for BH. Did try and limit what I ate, plus I felt full after a small meal....but the wine was very nice. Did restart TS on the Tues and have kept 100% since. OOOH don't I sound virtuous LOL.

Hi DM lovely to have you back :party0011:. Enjoy WS, I'm looking forward to hat day in the future when I swap over LOL

Hi Becky....the thread you're looking for is called "weekly weigh in". Good luck tomorrow. Saturday is my weigh in too. Not expecting any great loss as I had 2 days off plan (Sun and Mon). I'm also doing TS, have managed to keep strong.....really difficult on Sat night as OH and kids have...

Hey MW, I know your disappointed, but that still a pound off, and after the last 4 wees it's not another gain and you're back in the 11's :devilangel:There is a post somewhere on the forum about "just a pound" it's really funny, and does make you think. After all if you lost a measley pound...

Hi Becky.....good luck on TS I started on the 14th of April and still going strong. Sarah is definitely my inspiration, while Mathswiz and I are determined to break the 12 stone barrier and go for it.

Good luck MW :happy096: perhaps that's what you need is that additional food pack.....split between the day and evening it maybe will give you more of a feeling of satisfaction rather than deprivation. Keep thinking positively. You've lost 10% and are determined not to see that come back. So how...

Hi Sarah, thanks for the further info. A present I'm trying to stick to TS at present as I'm coping but I'll be definitely picking your brains for food suggestions when I make the move to WS which will probably be in June sometime. Hey....there's nothing like planning ahead!!

Well another 3lbs gone :character00100: that makes a stone +. I'm now overweight and not obese LOL. I'm hoping to maintain this now until the end of May as a few things coming up. In between I'll stick to TS as it' obviously working for me. The walking is helping as well. Just have to keep OH...

Dreamingmaid, sorry to hear about your health problems, hope you'll be feeling better soon. Was it linked to the diet or just happened to coincide? Anyway, look after yourself...do try and keep us updated. Relax this weekend, if you can.....I know what it's like having 3 kids LOL. :hug99: PS...

Thanks ShrinkingSarah and SarahP. That has now put my mind at rest. I won't feel so guilty next time I have a cuppa. Being a nurse it's almost a prerequisite to always have a brew going LOL.

Hi all....I know this question has probably been asked throughout this forum but just can't find it. Obviously not doing the "search" correctly. Anyway....would having a little milk in coffee once in a blue moon affect ketosis. I only ask as the "once in a blue moon" happened today and I had...

:happy096: Congratulations Sarah on such a fantastic weight loss. My OH and I (sound like the Queen) have started walking in the evenings. A brisk walk along the seafront (4 miles) will hopfully help things along

Thanks Mathswiz....yes, I'm still on TS. I'm amazed I've coped so well, but it is early days. Hopefully I'm going to try and keep on it until June and then switch to WS. Though seeing Sarah's amazing success does tempt me to think about changing earlier.

:happy036: can't believe I lost another 6 pounds!!! I was expecting around 4 as that seems to be the average for a second week's weight loss. Very happy to carry on......will still drool over OH chinese tonight though. :clap:

Well done on the weight loss Bumblemum, sorry it's not the diet for you. I think eveyone is different. At present I'm managing well, just taking it week to week, just setting myself small goals. Good luck on the new diet

Hi Vanda.....I had a similar reaction (but fewer visits to the loo):ashamed0005:. Still get a little gurgly (is that a word??) especially after the soup. I sound like the soup dragon from the Clangers in the evenings, very romantic for the OH. Perhaps is just us Welsh LOL.

Mathswiz.....great incentive. I intend to have a new hairstyle. Think positive. :party0049:

Hi Dreamingmaid and Mathswiz......great start. Sending you both positive vibes. Mathswiz....lets both of us get under 12 stone this time!!! :gen126:

Good luck Vanda. Whether it's exante or LL if you're committed the results are amazing. I met another colleague today who's lost 3 stone since starting on LL. The support here is wonderful, I'm not a group sort of person so Exante works for me.:553:

Hi Mathswiz.....I'm definitely an emotional eater....the first hint of stress.......food, food, food. Hence the reason to lose weight. This time though I'm using Sarah's principles. I'm in this for the long term. I will have breaks....2 weekends away with extented family (10 of us) this month as...

Fingers (and toes) crosse for your success. Have to agree and say that the products are good, tasty and importantly not full of additives. I'm telling everyone I work with how nice they are.

For me it's the vanilla and strawberry............mmmmmmm !!!

Hi Sarah........Like you the cost of LL put me off. Being part of a family of 5... it really wasn't an option. I just googled VLCD and found Exante and this forum. The rest as they say is history. I did find Sat a little difficult.....no chinese take away and no wine, but I'm proud that I didn't...

Hi GotTheTshirt.....did your packs arrive???? Good luck if you've started.

Hi Matswiz..........after seeing this post I went back and looked at my previous diet attempts. This is the 3rd year in a row I've started in April to lose weight.......I get to 12st 2lb and that's it. Like you it's some sort of barrier. I have been close to target before ( 3 times in 15 years)...

Hi Sarah.......fingers crossed for your next target,:happy096: you've done so well and you are my inspiration, even though I've just started, it's great to see someone else a lot further down the road. A health visitor I share an office with has lost 3 stone since Jan on LL and that's what...

hi dreamingmaid..........I've been doing the total solution for a week now and have remained 100%, no cheating. All the packs are nice, although I'd probably say the chocolate shake and the choc/orange bar are my least favourite (strange, considering I'm a chocaholic LOL). I've just ordered...

Yippee...............6lbs gone. I know it was a short week, but my regular weigh ins are going to be on Saturdays. Ordered my next 2 weeks of Exante, so will try to stay on track. Still 100% amazingly, as I don't usually have such good will power. I know I'm going to have some blips. 4th & 5th...

Mathswiz......keep going with the positive attitude. 19lb in 11 weeks is fantastic. You've had some ups and downs recently but think of the words of Scarlet O'hara "Tomorrow is another day" rather than Rett's word's "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" (hope the quotes are right LOL)

Hi Hunca, I started on Tuesday but I prefer a Saturday weigh-in so I'm going to weigh this Sat and then every Sat there on until target....or I've eaten the OH and kids LOL

Hi Hunca......good news on all fronts. I'm actually suprised how tasty the soups and shakes are. Tried all the flavours now and can't complain. Survived cooking pasta carbonara for OH and kids....not a morsel slipped past my lips. I will be strong. Good luck for tomorrow,it does get easier.

Hi GotTheTshirt......hooray another exante dieter. I'm on day 3, feeling very virtuous as not one morsel of food has pased my lips (curses to the OH who had chips yesterday). Look forward to hearing about your progress
