I love reading this thread so much so thought I'd finally reply!!! How has everyone been today? I restarted Exante last week, have had a few 100% days but also a few not so good days! Plan to be good all week (at least until next weekend anyway!) Hope you've all had a good Sunday!!

You look sooooo great! Huge congrats to youuuu! ?

Good luck!! I started on Friday too - the weekends are the hardest by far! I've felt really hungry today but have resisted everything!! I've got enough sachets/bars for 4 weeks and will see what happens then. I did Exante in Dec 2013 and had awesome results so I'm hoping the same happens again...

First day back on the diet today and so far, so good! I've had the Raspberry & White Chocolate bar and the Double Choc so far. Banana shake with lots of ice for dinner! I did this diet at the end of 2013 and had really positive results so I'm hoping for good things again! If anyone else has...

Hi all, well I only lost 1lb for my 2nd week WI. Thought I was going to gain at one point so I'm happy with that! I've been 100% sticking to the Total Plus plan. Anyways onwards for week 3 now :) I've just had my choc&orange bar, got a choc shake for lunch and shepherds pie for dinner with...

Thank you! I was very much the same as you don't worry and I still have a fair bit of excess to shift! The changing point came for me when I was not able to fit into size 20 trousers anymore. I'd been so complacent with putting the weight on that it didn't bother me that I was slowly racking up...

Manchester Tarts!!!!!!! Oh my......they are amazing coconutty jammy custardy goodness! Mmmmm! Now you've made my mouth water!! Hehe!

Thanks Hendricks! I do feel better after reading some of the other threads on the forum and noticing a lot of others in the same position :) Weight loss is never going to be easy and as long as it's going in the general right direction then I shouldn't worry! You are doing fab! Keep it up! I...

Hi ladies! Haven't checked in for a while as I seemed to lose sight of this thread on my phone! Anyways got it back now! Wk2 Day6 for me too - had a sneaky weigh in this morn and so far this week I've only lost 1/2lb! I was absolutely gutted :( I've been doing that new total plus plan where...

Awesome news! Well done! :D

MissJ - are you still with us?!? I really hope you managed to break that 3 day barrier :) It honestly does get better!

Same with me - I make it up with the 250ml of boiling water, then zap it in the microwave for 1.5mins. I tried it without and like you said, it wasn't hot enough and felt somewhat lacking in something. At least by chucking it in the microwave, it thickens it up a bit and is piping hot! Go for it!

Morning ladies - glad to see you all still here! I've been lurking and reading rather than posting! Thought I'd make the effort today as it's WI day. At the end of W1 I lost 12.6lb so I am really chuffed with that. Just need to keep my motivation going as I am finding it a lot harder this time...

Day 4 over and done with! Have felt hungry today but stuck with it. New ******* bundle arrived today - only item in it that I haven't tried is the Apple & Cinnamon porridge. Has anyone had that? Also I'm eyeing up the new bars they have brought out - anyone sampled those yet? keep up the great...

Good luck Katie! You've made the initial step of deciding you want to lose some weight so that's a great start. Now comes the hard part in sticking to it!!!! ;) We all have faith in each other and I find that checking in regularly on these forums helps as you see and hear about other peoples...

Morning ladies! Well done to you all for checking in and sharing your stories! It's the start of Day 4 for me today - had a sneaky weigh in this morning and was pleased to see that I've lost 8.2lbs so far. I did kinda expect it to come off fairly quickly as it's the excess lbs I put back on...

Ooooo pre-congrats for your birthday! I'll be 31 this year although sometimes I feel as though I'm 90 the way I creak and groan walking around! haha. I know exactly what you mean about the chocolate. I was one of those people that took in a load of biscuits/chocolate and sweets that I was given...

The bars are a great way to make sure you stick to the diet I find - especially for those of us who are out and about a fair bit, or working where you don't have facilities to prep a soup/meal pack etc. I've often had 2 bars in one day before and it's made absolutely no difference to my weight...

Hi all - loving reading all these posts from people starting in January! Can I join in too please? I'm restarting after a break over Christmas. My aim is to lose another 2 stone and then I'll see where I'm at :) My birthday is 12th Feb so if I can shift a good chunk by then I'll be dead happy...

Hi all and good luck with your new starts! I'm back after a break over Christmas - lost 26lb during Nov/Dec so I'm back to pick up where I left off and chip away at a bit more! I did put on some of what I lost over Xmas but I figured it was better than putting extra on top of what I was...

How's everyone getting on?? I started on Monday again after a break over Christmas. Finding it quite tough at the moment especially with so much Xmas junk food hanging around the house! lol Nevermind - I am motivated! Hope you all are too :D x

Hi both! Firstly good luck with your journeys! I'm sure you can do it! I have just come off Exante for the Xmas period. Have been doing it for the last 4 weeks and have lost almost 2 stone. I'll be restarting in the New Year some point during Jan to hopefully undo any gain from Xmas and...

Hello!, How are you getting on? I started week 2 on Exante TS yesterday. In my first week I managed to lose 11.5lbs sticking to it 100%. Just saw you were from Cardiff! Thornhill I take it based on your name!!!??? I lived in Cardiff up until 2 years ago and have now hopped just over the...

Woooooohoooooo! Congratulations!!!! It looks like I'm doing a similiar approach to you - Exante till Xmas and then hop onto a more healthier way of eating instead after. I know there is absolutely no point in me Exanteing over the festive period, just hope I don't do too much damage!!!! Good...

Hi girls! Well I officially stuck to Exante for a week as of yesterday - 100% - no slip ups at all and I lost.................11.5lb! I can live with that! Haha - it has given me the motivation to succeed with this week and continue. Had a good day yesterday....now I'm going to make a Cafe...

Well done ladies for sticking with it! I'm on the 5th day now - so far so good - no slip ups at all! Had a sneaky weigh-in today and have lost 8lbs so far - I can live with that! haha The packs haven't been half as bad as I thought they would be - then again I have seasoned and peppered them...

Yeh, as far as I know you can add any type of herbs or spices. I've been adding mixed spice to my porridge, pepper to all meals/soups and will also be adding a cheeky helping of herbs to my Pasta Carbonara tonight!!!

What a great idea! I'll certainly be trying this one evening this week! Do you add extra sweetener or not? I've got 2 boxes of normal Twinings Peppermint tea in the house so i'm assuming they will be perfect for the job! I love these alternate ways of using the powdery mixes!!

Day 2 over and done with for me! Managed to stick to it 100% and feel surprisingly good! The porridge biscuits I made yesterday came from another thread on these forums. I'll have to play around with the oven timings and the mix though as they weren't 'quite' right! Still better than eating the...

Good luck to you all! I started yesterday and so far, so good! About to try my first soup! Lets hope its tasty! Go team exanteeeeee!!

The idea for the biscuits I pinched from another part of this forum. Someone has described the process and taken photos etc but basically it's just making up the mix but with less water then spreading the mixture thinly onto a baking sheet. Then baking in the oven on a fairly low heat until they...

Hiya both! I started the Total Solution diet yesterday too! I've got around 3 stone to shift too. Can I be a buddy too!?! So far so good - I did have the worst headache ever last night but not sure if it's down to the diet or the fact I have a cold brewing up inside me too!! Feeling much...

Thank you so much :)

Hi there, Just looking for some help on the Ainsley Harriotts Cous Cous. I have the spice sensation one here and was wondering how many syns are in it. Many thanks you lovely people! :D
