Well done Lozall it takes a lot after an illness like your husbands to get yourself back in motion ! Hats 🎩 off to you !! I’m at day 6 today 😎

I am 10 stone 8.2 this morning very very keen to be 9 stone 13. Managed it back in 2011 then put it back on, went to slimming world lost 1.5 then blood sugar diet and now Exante tbh I get bored easily 🙄

Yes definitely good packs now . My first time round I ate tomato soup till I was sick! Day 2 today stick was 1.5 pink so hopefully on the way ... not too hungry but I anticipated day 2 being hard and had 2 extra boiled eggs which was just as well as I had to spend 10mins in a car with pizza and...

Hi I am back after about 6 years as menopause has hit my middle! My 2 week trial pack arrived today ... the noodles are so so nice ! I could eat them all day. When I did it at first I think there was just 4 flavours of shake and some soup! Today I had a Mint choc shake , jam bar and the...

Thanks Lottie . Been reading up and as I have lost 1lb in about 10 days is probably slowing it all down . But I do fit smaller stuff so.. Am having a rest today and will drink more water see if any movement on the scales. I have a minor obsession with body fat % as I got an aria scale which...

I am doing the jillian Michaels 30 day shred -is a dvd but level 1 and 2 are on utube. It is probably hard on the knees a bit jump. I am on day 6 today and am feeling very pleased with myself. At the moment I am committed to staying the 30 days on both exante and 30 day shred but if I get...

Hi You seem to be motoring along. I am interested in your LL experience. I took a taster 30 min cousulling try out but it was a bit weird so am thinking maybe not? I started the 30 day shred at the same time as exante and on the scales(should have followed your example!) have stayed the same...

Brilliant well done -that is very encouraging. I have done a week a the same time as starting the 30 day shred-probablyc says you shouldn't do that! I am deffo slimmer as I now fit an outfit I have not had on for 5 years but have dropped very little weight. But having read your story and...

Hi I started yesterday as well! I have purchased 120 products but mainly soup and bars. I lost weight before with exante -about 2 stone but put it all back on! I know I like the bars and the tomato soup but not porridge or meals and the shakes taste fine but am just not a great shake...

I have a load in the cupboard. The chilli bean thing was horrible I am making my hubbie eat them! -he isn't dieting! lol. The shepherds pie is ok when your hungry quite nice.

Ooh when you starting? I am exactly the same weight as you and have exactly same target 5 weeks ! I am starting inthe morning! I'd be happy to be buddies and do it together!

Yes I found the shakes really difficult because of that so I just use the soups at work or sometimes poridge then no-one notices -but I slip it out the packet and the put the packet at bottom of the bin!

Bella If you stick to total I think with the motivation of the wedding that is very dooable. I recommend once you have got into ketosis and are settled to get the 30 day shred -you will be amazed by how much it chnages your shape particularly round your stomach and it can change your shape...

My porridge just arrived. I like the taste but I added a bit more water than 200ml as I would for soup and shakes but it was just watery!! I saw someone before Christmas saying even 200ml made it watery ? Has anyone worked out the perfect mix for porridge as all the bars give me a windy...

On day 2 and I'm nearly at the end of the day with one pack to go. I feel so empowered. After losing weight abd getting to 10 stone I had a accident and fell so sore abd sorry for myself I put on a stone and a half. It was compounded by losing my job. I need to lose this weight to fit...

I am on day 2 as well . I lost weight early last year but due to an accident put a stone and a half back on in November. I am nearly at the end of day 2 with one pack still to go -probably will have soon. I can't quite believe I managed it after all the carbs of xmas! I know absolutely...

I started with a goal of 141 lbs and got down to that but put some on. Now I probably would go down a bit further as I wouldlike a BMI of 22 or lower as I think it would be healthier plus I have got the buzz of being slimmer-I am 5ft 4in.

yep this is the hardest bit i swore i would not go back to a bmi over 25 when i got under but i buckled so fast it was ridiculous. You feel great and everyone is complementing you and so you think what the hell. but the confident feeling of feeling slim and fitting any size 12 /10 etc is so...

I have a monitor that monitors my calories burned. It is amazing how many you can burn by extra walking but jst general jumping about -a few extra knees up and waist bends while the kettle boiling etc on a day like that you can burn 2500 on a day where you sit about -1600 . So all that get...

As we realised there were quite a few on week 1 as off today we said we'd start a club so Wk 1 weigh in s today are Fatboyslimming -17!!! Cannyscot -5lbs Reeesh-10lbs Saafcd1 -4lbs So need Biggie and lana B and ww horror weigh in to compelete

Well done on your 4lbs. I lost 5 lbs -mostly at the beginning of the week. It does make a difference I can see it in my coat belt.

That is amazing ! Congratulations I bet you fell fab.

Yes -outlet shop but there is a reject section in the outlet shop usually in a corner where you get leftovers ie 1/2 items for £1 or £2 -sometimes weird sizes ie ladies shoes size 4 or 8-The problem is they sell cut price cupcakes as well -you often get the 3.99 cakes for 99p etc-so it isn't a...

Yep sizes are wild -I often shop in the marks and sparks reject shop and always look at the 8's and 10's as often they are left over cos they are too big for normal 8's and 10's -I've picked up jeans for a £1 and tops for a £1.

Wow! that is amazing!

Hi I hope you enjoy it I love the soups ! They are super tasty. -and of course you get to be happy happy and in ketosis -which I'm sure you remember. Hope it goes well.

But the point is you'll look slimmer -so all good! I am on day 4 and have lost 1/2 inch all round and down about 3.8 lbs and I feel just less bloated and less like my tummy is sticking out so it must be good thing!

Yes that be good I'd like to be in this club too -I'm on day 3 too. Just had my mushroom soup -still tastes pretty good !! I'm bad i weighed myself all 3 days 2x. -So far Ive lost the grand total of 1lb but maybe cos I went into ketosis so quick and obv . haven't been eating many carbs so...

Wow your like a whole different person . You look good -you look pretty toned . You actually look much less than a BMI of 32 as I'm 5 3.5 and when I was 32.5 I was much more massive than you are. I hope you feel proud of your achievement -It really is life changing.

Yep hand balloon whisk works better for soups -lumps is horrible. I follow one of the stickies or first posts that says put a bit more water in a pan when warmed add powder blend then heat to right temp. It said to add stuff so I add chilli podwer to Thai and tomato /pepper to mushroom and veg.

Yes ciut down on carbs so that's prob why. Only got to get through 100 soups now! I wonder if I'll get fed up of soup. I didn't lose any weight though yesterday so wonder if I will tomorrow.

Hope its going well!

I started exante yesterday-had 3 soups. I was expecting 3 days of headaches but weirdly at 11.30 last night after feeling very tired I had a huge burst of energy and went a bit mad-went for a quick run. Woke up this morning not hungry -thought stange and tested about 11am -sure enough pink...

140's -that's a good way to look at it i hadn't thought of that! -Thanks wkdstepmum -that's my target now! I'm feeling quite motivated -lets see if I can keep that up tomorrow!!

I am on day 1 too- I had one soup this morning and I have a headache already! I know I'm going to feel rubbish for a few days but it is super hard to get through the days.

Need to lose a stone to get back to where I was last year. I can't believe I put it back on I was so thrilled to be under 25 BMI but it did not stop me eating chocolate!! I bought lots of new clothes and threw the old one out so now everything is too tight and basically unwearable. I have...

After a busy week I am back to trying to honk. I'm staying level so that's all good but I have only 7 days to lose 4.8lbs as I said I'd lose 10lbs in Novemeber . So once again trying to honk - I really don't think I'd get through the day without extra protein so maybe I'll count honking if I...

Well done , I am excited for you! New clothes on the horizon -you can never have too many clothes. Just think what you can treat yourself too for xmas !! Yipee

Well all well and still going and determined so that's good. Still can't honk as I ate a pork chop and 2 chips on top of my 3 packs.

Elvira I have joined back in and you are doing so well in the time ive lost about 16lbs you have lost 4.5 stone -Your defo a better loser than me well done for such dedication. I didn't hear how back to uni went did you get lots of good attention?

Twixes or no twixes eating 3 packs has put me down 2 lbs today so that is a good incentive to keep to the straight and narrow today. I am aiming today to be the very first day I have ever honked and I'll let nothing stop me. I'm hungry this morning so what to have ? hot choc or latte? I just...

Starting again. Got so near to goal and then blew it. But I have decided I want to be a BMI of 22 now so that's a lower goal. I started today but after my vanilla shake ate 2 small twixs!!!-what is that about. I'm going to write it all down every day -just really for me in the hope it...

I'm planning on cutting down on carbs and sticking to non processed meals. My hubbie needs his cholestrol watching so I've decided to make lots of veg soup and have it before our evening meal every night as there is research that says that keeps you in check along with eating proper brekkie and...

Yes I never wanted people to know so I got a shaker cup from boots or you can get them online that way you can mix it virtually unseen. I just fill up at the water cooler take it so my desk slip the powder in and turn it upside down a few times and it is ok i always add more water though cos I...

Well done for getting back on the horse. I did day 1 yesterday and felt a bit like you but am headachey today but realised that I still love all the exante products and it is a sure fire way to lose weight and life is too short not to feel happy with yourself and fit and confident. So make...

Yes I have IBS and Exante has always been great for me and made a huge difference. Just recently the bars have given me a windy tummy.

starlight I saw your pictures wow! amazing you look great what a difference!

Nee it definately helps to ciut down on carbs before you start it stops the carb withdrawal headaches and tiredness being so bad.

I think you have taken an enormous step and should be very proud -I'm always in awe of such willpower. Nearly half way on your ticker that must be a great feeling. You've bucked me up a bit-I ve been eating grapes whilst eating my soup!!!-I didn't even know I was doing it!

Miss Mango can you help me out? Is it hours on any wii fit activity and also how do you get that ticker?

Yes I wouldn't throw them away it's not very green and there are people starving and all that stuff! I quite often would like to give people one that I see in the street etc who need a wee helping hand to lose weight especially if they are quite big and look unconfortable but I guess that...

Yes BMI plus a dress size is a good indicator. Plus you need to try it out. As I have got older I have changed shape a bit im a size 10/12 on the bottom but 12/14 on the top. I think a BMI of less than 25 is important but then it depends on your height -if you are 5ft you end up having to...

Joanne you look like a different person I bet some people don't know who you are anymore. There is an incredible difference. You have got a lovely shape now. I hope you've bought yourself some nice jeans -your hair looks good too!!

Yes I will do eventually but I've researched the whole topic since and it seems I'd be better to get a bit lower and then gradually bring carbs back in. I guess thats the diadvantage of exante if you were paying the CD or LL kind of money you get the whole maintenanace thing included. The...

spyro2008 - lose 14lbs SammyE - lose 12lbs Nee - Lose 16lbs Emma S - lose 14lbs Cannyscot - lose 10lbs

After loving Exante and losing weight to get to a BMI of 25 -somone on here said you couldnt stay on total below 25 so I came off too quickly so I'm back. I bought lots of new size 12 clothes and a pr size 10 jeans so I have no intention of putting it back on plus even odd people I dont really...

I'd like a refeed kind of forum ie now I'm below BMI 25 I shouldn;t do total but I am finding it really hard to know what to do and don't want to moan while other people are still struggling to do total and have weight to lose. Also as it means talking food -but I am seriously lost and going...

Yes I was advised on here to start introducing food ie working solution I guess but it is actually quite hard -it is the knowing when to stop bit! The TFR is really much easier ! I love my bars and soups but because I was goingto have to spend £99 on another pack I thought I'd maybe do just...

Welcome back Sharon I wondered where you'd gone. Well done for not putting it all back on. That is actually quite a feat as I'm finding out myself now I'm trying to go back to proper meals.

Congratulations !! Very well done it's great to change how you think about yourself and obese does sound horrible! Enjoy all the new clothes and feeling better about yourself.

The point is your still going forward. Not gaining weight is in itself an achievement. Bodies are weird mine does this type of thing all the time and then suddenly it starts losing again. I'd say it wasn't the chicken more likely your hormones were going and they led to the craving for...

Abbie the child will be fine,it is more about you. Mine were all breastfed till past 2 years and at 17months they very much differed in how much milk they were having. If your child is eating loads and having little milk all good but if they are are serial muncher on the milk then I think...

I love -the toffee and raisin bar Tomato soup thai chicken soup ok-orange bar mushroom soup veg soup not so keen on shakes but I can and will drink them all. Couldn't bear the vanilla till I made it a latte.

oh Thanks both. Yambabe (why are you called that!) That all sounds like a great plan. I am starting add a meal now but sticking to meat and salad and a bar and a soup or 2 for the next 2 weeks and then I'll try gradually your plan and I'll keep up the excercise.

Stick in there it does kind of get easier but temptation of nice things is hard. It's just a question of finding ways of distracting yourself. I now do waist exercises while boiling the kettle in case I look in the biscuit tin or the fruit bowl. My waist is shrinking!

Brilliant you are doing so well -they will be shocked when you go back to Uni!

Thanks. I didn't know it wasn't suitable under BMI 25. I think you are right Anna I am getting bored and keep looking at recipes. I like your idea of introducing more calories bit by bit Yambabe. I think I will just start having a meal in the evening. It's probably time I ate with the...

I drink loads of black decaf -I love it plus decaf tea and water but I do have coke zero if I am out with friends or if I have a weak moment mid afternoon at work.

I notice people going off and doing other diets? I have 10lbs to go , I would have liked to do that in 3 weeks for a big Birthday but think it just wont happen. I upped my ex but it just slowed things down more. I saw an offer on KGB for a weeks diet in a box. I wondered if I would shake up my...

Good Luck -all the products are actually very nice and very edible. I often have a craving for a bar and either tomato or thai chicken soup! And they are so easy -in fact if I didn't have to cook for anyone else I'd consider living on them quite happily.

It is still going in the right direction. I think you will probably see a better loss next week. Drink more water it does seem to make a difference -although it is pretty hard to get it down you. Basically it is a long haul thing! I lose slowly but look at that chances are I won't be as...

I have been searching on google and their is some research that says you lose more weight on a VLCD combined with excercise. However I have continued my ex and I am not losing weight but then I am 10lbs to goal and I guess you do slow down plus I don't lose weight very fast anyway. I am doing...

Good luck with the flat and job hunt. There ate lots of xmas jobs coming up in the next few weeks so maybe one of them will prove lucky. Well done for sticking it out and 2lbs is still 3lbs nearer to those jeans.

I din't know that Anna -Clearly not been paying attention. I haven't barely lost any weight this last week as I have been doing a lot of excercise. So you shouldn't do much excercise?

Good Luck with SW -it is hard to have to make the kids meals as well -mine have been super lacking in veg and fruit lately because of there is fruit in I eat it. -how self ish am I. Enjoy the food -I only lose about 2lbs a week anyway so SW would be about the same rate.

Yes great willpower I'm on the scales 3x a day too. Hope you feel a lot better today.

Yes actually it seems to kick start you a bit. I've read about carb cycling where you introduce carbs every so often so your body doesn't shut down but I guess that 's the point of aamw.

Yep I went on holiday for 2 weeks while on exante. I took bars with me for breakfast and sone soup /shakes for lunch. I ate meat with salad as much as poss. I didn't have any alcohol but I did cheat quuite a bit . I actually didn't put any weight on on the holiday but flying home and the...

Oh brill we are little Librans together! I have been dancing round the house all morning singing I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses. It's great I really feel more confident so roll on the Birthday -a good excuse for a new outfit and another pair of jeans!!

Ok your on . Why did you go on Atkins -just so you can eat normal meals? I can see me eating exante bars and soups for ever I just really like them cos I'm a lazy toad and they are so easy. I have a big birthday soon so I am feeling pretty motivated.

I am no longer overweight today! I lost about a stone before I came to exante but it was torture and took about a year but exante has been so fun and so easy. I am not very good at dieting and I can't believe how dedicated some people are -I have never honked once! But I find...

I have tried everything so make them. I now use a baloon type hand blender for soups -I got 3 diff sizes in a pack in the pound shop. I keep the small one at work and put the hot water in a bowl and mix vigourously. At home I always put cold water in a pan heat it and add the mix when the...

Great photos your doing so well it looks like you will fly past you back to university goal by the 4th October. I hope you will as you can now see a massive difference and you will be so glad when you get lots of compliments when you go back.

Sorry but 8lbs seems bldy brilliant to me! Plus you have now moved into the 200's category -you can start seeing yourself as a 200's person and not a 300's. If I were you I'd give yourself a big pat on the back and look forwward to your next milestone. The more you celebrate and get...

Lisaberry we are a bit like that -strangely on the surface it would seem that my drive is higher as my OH doesnt do so much off the initiation but weirdly when I read him out the statistics saying that men want more he agreed! So he wants to but can't work up the energy etc to suggest it so now...

Wow Short and Dumpy you are full of great insights today! That is so true. I have found on this diet that I fell crappy and tired if I have sweet and sugary stuff and if I stick to the diet or diet plus a decent low carb meal I have lots of energy . Also the exante stuff as S&D said is...

It's a great diet. |'m like you get a cake near me and i'll eat the packet and then whatever else is in the cupboard. I like the fact food is taken away. The bars,soup and shakes are so easy. I love all the soups and I find I can eat bars and soups at work with no-one noticing at all. You...

I thought I'd just add something - research shows that women want more attention and men want more jiggy jiggy. So basically to kill 2 birds with one stone. The more jiggy jiggy you have the more men are able to take their time and give you attention. So (do not tell!!) I often delibrately...

I'd change the way your thinking and see what follows. I went seriously off my OH but read you have to imagine they are the sexiest most attractive person in the world it would happen so that's what I did. along with telling him he looks good I fancy him etc etc. It has worked to an extent. It...

Because my teenage daughter is struggling to like herself and I think she looks at me says Mum's overweight so I must be? Because I found out my Boss thinks fat people are lazy ? Because I have a disabled child and I need to ensure I am going to be fit and healthy well into old age so I can...

Well done I'm just getting to nearly where you are and it's great as people keep saying how good I look. I haven't lost as much as you -only about 2 stone overall but I'm so happy and so excited when I fit into something that's been in my wardrobe a long time waiting. Enjoy it all -your...

Once you start drinking black coffee and tea you'll never go back to milk again and it'll save you loads of calories in the future. In the morning I have a big black decaf coffee with my bar and I love it I sit and drink it for about half an hour.

I love the bars and love the soups. I tried CD once and nearly fainted in an airport as it was impossible to travel without the tetras which were in short supply. The exante stuff is really nice I love tomato soup and thai chicken. I'd eat them if I wasn't on a diet-in fact when I get to goal...

Thanks. I am thinking of booking one of those mother and daughter makovers where you get a photoshoot for my target date. They have them on lastminute for £10 each. Thought that's a cheap treat but might motivate me?

At work I put hot water in a bowl and use a metal whisk works well but at home I put cold water in a pan heat it gently and add in the powder slowly and wisk it with a metal whisk. It tastes better I think. I got that from one of the stickies and it definately makes it much nicer-plus using...

Yes maybe clothes. It is great fitting into smaller stuff. The whole diet/buy new clothes is getting expensive! I feel guilty spending it onme rather than the kids. There is an offer today for personal training for 2 weeks 6 days a week for £129 I nearly signed up but stopped myself due to...

I was super motivated last week as I had a family event coming up. It was great-new jeans and top and lots of compliments. Now folk have started noticing I have lost weight. I lost weight about 8 month s ago about 8lbs no one noticed and now lost anoth 15lbs suddenly folk are telling me I...

That is a brilliant loss when you are so close to your goal. I have never lost anywhere near that. My body loves it's fat and hangs on to it. You certainly seem to have you mojo back which is pretty good after your holiday.

Welcome back. Yes you lost a good bit of weight and it's easy to once people start complementing you and you get caught up in new clothes etc to let it slip it seems not so urgent. You haven't got so much to lose now! Find something really great you want to fit into and see if that...

Hi Elvira You are doing really well on your back to Uni target .

Just noticed you have a big incentive this week to go uner the next marker. Only 5 pounds to go ! Its a brill feeling when you go into another range changes how you feel about yourself.

Well done Sharon. You are doing really well.

Yep Just keep your cracking to the min and you'll go forward. I was baddish yesterday but I actually stopped myself last night and was not as bad as it could have been and I'm still slightly down today so just have a low carb meal at the team day and keep going -it isn't make or break -it's a...

Yes I'd echo Sharon. You now know you can lose weight and you can excercise your choice to be healthier and happier. I understand how you feel -it must have been gutting. But I went to the cinema last night and there was a huge woman and a huge husband I mean can barely move size. I felt...

Just keep going. I think people in general think unless they are perfect they have broken this diet but it is so low cal that even adding quite a few calories means you are taking the same as a normal low cal diet ie 1200-1500 so you would still lose weight. You just need to keep going in the...

It's my favourite too. I gring in chilli and garlic flakes and it is like a hot bowl of tomatoy chilli -feels like a proper meal.

Well done thta's a huge weight loss and a lot of inches . Good Luck with Exante. All the soups and bars taste great so don't let anyone tell you different!

Good Luck !

Yes it's lovely especially with ground chilli and garlic flakes!

Yes I think your body does have a bit of a clear out at sometime! Have you posted your weight loss today I'm excited to hear what it is as you've being doing so well!

Yes hope you feel better. You get a sudden burst a few days in and feel great -it will happen stick in there. Plus seeing the scales go down is so wonderful. I'm feeling very evangelistic about exante and weight loss today. It really is great to feel you clothes fitting better. Much...

I'm sorry your feeling unwell. I can't undertstand anyone not wanting foor though! But I undertstand the simpe thing the soups and bars are so handy and portable. It does make life much easier. I was forever missing lunch and then eating a pile of carp in the evening or same at breakfast...

Ooh Elvira I just noticed we have the same target date! 4th October. I will have to motivate you and you will have to motivate me!

I want everyone's bars I love them! 2.38 or whatever is expensive. I have just shakes and soups left. I like the shakes less so I am eeking out the soups. I have the latte that Elvira suggested every morning now as I have 2 months worth of vailla shakes I didn't eat. Luckily I am super...

So is the shake only and soup only bumper pack new ? Unfortunately you still have to pay full price for bars-which I need desperately. -mainly cos I love them as a substitute for my fix-chocolate.

Fantastic What willpower and motivation you must have. You look brilliant. I love your outfit on the website. It's the best before and after on there. I hope they are paying you as your their best advert (exante that is!).

I think the advice to add a meal is good. It's better than cheating. I'm a self sabateur so I sympathise. You have lost a lot of weight and you still have a number of weeks till your wedding so you can still have a good loss with add a meal. At 5ft 4 -same as me! -You must be looking a lot...

I struggled to have children and it's funny things that like that that do make you happy. I was in terrible pain every time I ovulated but I was so happy cos it meant I had a chance to get pregnant. The losing weight definately ,makes a diff so that is a brill motivation for you.

I just have a low carb meal if I get desperate.

My little stick says I am in ketosis but i am still hugry and craving food-maybe just TOTM?

Yes good ideas

Yes you can't help that its the stupid hormones/ .

All my children were born to a 30 something and they are happy and bright and healthy.

Brilliant It makes it all worth while! Well done.

Yes cooking for the kids is a pain.

Well done

Me too! I want to have a binge. It's terrible -maybe just go to bed?

You've done so well - keep looking at your pictures. They should motivate you.

Well done

Your going in the right direction keep at it.

One woman who has her own weight struggle called me an apple which got me started on losing weight. Now that I'm about 28lbs lighter she has started avoiding me.

Well I'm craving bananas on toast now!

Well done all.

That's what happens when you fast your body wants higher calorie snacks when you stop. It was on one of those diet programmes on telly. Maybe someone else who has fasted can give you a tip. Hats off to you I could never fast.

Good Luck you look like your doing well already!

Well done!

Exante is really good and pretty cheap if you do the bumper pack. Delivery is pretty good too -pity they won't let you collect seems more sensible.

Yes but you are so pretty you deserve those jeans so stick at it. It is so exciting to fit back into those smaller things in your wardrobe that have been annoying you for months/Years(in my case).

Yep its staying in the race longterm not little moments that count. Juts keeping going.

Well done

Good Luck I'm pretty near you -ER-I wish you lots of luck . If you have had that success before I'm sure you can do it again.

Wii fit is tempramental I 'd ignore it

Good thread -I will drink more water tomorrow

I'm on Exante VCLD it is pretty good and pretty cheap

It's still 1lb closer ! Every little counts if you keep going.

Yes but Exante is super great so you'll be fine.

surf the net,walk the dog have a bath, tidy up your cd collection -anything but eat

Thank you , I have to post 50 times. I 'm rubbish at posting I have done 20 in 6 weeks . I never know what to say.

Wow some of you have changed your sizes dramatically in a short time it's amazing to have that much willpower. Well done.

I'd like to thank you but I can't find a way to do it I don't seem to have all the buttons. I'm finding it hard to find my way round this forum.

I made it to 10 stone 13 today -well 10 stone 13 lbs and 3/4 but hey it's still there. I haven't seen 10 stone appear on the dial for about 14 years. I am so excited. I've just thrown out my jeans and some tops in celebration and Ive got a new belt on my new jeans and my tops tucked in ...

Yes I followed your suggestion and had a latte yesterday it was like sugary coffee not unpleasant but wouldnt be my first choice -thats tomato soup!

It is so strange how people like such different things. I love the bars I think I might keep buying them even if I get to target as a breakfast thing. I especially like the toffee with the raisins and I love the tomato soup. I havn't managed to drink any vanilla shakes at all yet -I'll have...

don't be those pounds are just water retention.

Gee well done that is a whole chunk off your target. Amazing. Well done for being so disciplined to do that. I hope it inspires you to more this week.

Yes I should get that i just had a spoonful of trifle but its subsided now otherwise I was going to have a bar and ive only 3 left.

yes I am craving trifle right now or anything sweet for that matter!! or even another barv would do really -should I do that !! or go to bed or do some housework. Maybe Ill decide on some treats for myself at each stage I read a book today that said that's proven to work.

Well done your weight loss is going well

Well done I think that's pretty good

I had tomato soup again tonight it was lovely. It felt like a lovely tasty hot meal. You need to make it right in a pot and then add chilli and garlic flakes from a make called natural clear grinder -its about 1.50 in the shops and you'll soon be converted. The thai one is also pretty yummy...

I love the tomato soup! I put chilli and garlic flakes in it and its soo nice! I would willlingly take everyone's tomato and give them shakes instead. I love the bars the toffee on best. I would actually buy these and eat them for breakfast every day as they are so handy. I travel for work...

Yes Ill have to buy the sticks this week. I'm due to buy another bumper pack but had a holiday in the middle so have spare shakes left over as there what I like least and had a meal each night. I was just wondering whether to do a week with just shakes to use them up. Mark (not sure of he...

I've just read something about bars keeping you out of ketosis -is that the case? I have a bar every day! It's what keeps me going.

I heat the water in a pan till slightly hot then put in powder and wisk then add herbs to the veg, pepper to the mushroom,chilli flakes to tomato and thai chicken. It makes them feel like a tasty meal.

Good Luck with that.

The trick is to put the water in first and the shake powder on top and then you'll get no lumps.

Yes I tried those things but there were lumps. I can't drink the shake if there is any lumps. this cup is designed for another diet programme and it has the ml up one side so if im at an airport I can still measure it in from a bottle of water and there is a plastic type of mixer thing in the...

Id second doing total for a few days and the balance returning after holiday/flight. I was abit annoyed after my hols but find I dropped 5lbs a few days later-and I would only normally lose very slowly.

In Boots there is a range called Tony Ferguson they sell a nice cup in pink or aqua for 2.49 there are vouchers for 10% off in boots at the moment. The cup makes the exante shake very well. If you fill it with water to inbetween the 250 and 300 and if poss add couple of ice cubes then shake it...
