Where to find linseed? Thanks for recipe. Hope I find some linseed in sainbury's tomorrow. What aisle would it be in?

Fantastic time and I'm ready to get back on track.

Purpledoll -- I would wait for the holiday week. I'm not a great advertisement as I just came back from holiday with 4 pounds back on but I went way overboard on the carbs and the drinking. I think if I had stuck to protein and veg with maybe a drink every other night I would have been fine...

Holiday Weight Gain :cry: Back from a 10 day holiday and I gained 4 pounds. Not bad considering I was both eating and drinking alcohol. Back to exante tomorrow for the work week.

I always get mine the next day -- exante seems to ship from London and I am in London.

Congratulations this is awesome news!!! Can you share how many months it took and what solution you did please?

That's alot of food. On holiday I think I will eat almost the same minus the toast.

Well done Emily! You are an inspiration to keep on going.

I don't think there is a need to tell most people. I just tell people I'm on a diet so I will not be ordering food at the restaurant. Or I say I'm on a diet so I don't want to go to the restaurant as I'll be tempted. At work I have said I'm not eating much this month. They don't need to know...

They don't know; which one day may run them into problems as I'm sure some people unwisely just eat the packs and no food. Including people who didn't qualify for other vlcd. But think of your health first and don't do it if your BMI is under 25!

relax and enjoy yourself

I'm sure someone more experienced will chime in. Thee are a couple of different plans on exante but the sampler pack they sell provides for one shake, one soup and one bar everyday. Its about 600 calories. I think they call that Total Solution. If like some of us eat one meal a day (less than...

Quak fantastic news that the added meal has helped. Bravo!

Thanks for the tip. I will try it.

Good luck; sounds like a marvelous plan to me as I sit here not trying to have a glass of wine while I cook dinner.

I agree no rice, no noodles, no sauces.

Thats fabulous news. Vacations can be so difficult. So well done you!

Great job!

Happy Happy Happy! I lost 10 pounds and I'm so happy! :D It's taken 17 days as I am doing working were I eat a meal everyday.

Woo Hoo! You must feel great.

moximc good luck and please keep us posted. I am very interested in VLCD that don't involve packs. Although I am packs right now.

Update on me -- today for some reason has been the hardest. Perhaps it was because I spent 2 hours in cafes at work meeting and then visited the supermarket. I have 3 packs and usually eat a dinner of less than 400 kcals; today I went over 400 so not vlcd today. Tomorrow will be better.

Congrats moomin-mama on losing 3. You are going in the right direction.

I enjoyed the book as well but really it was just two women explaining how low carb dieting work for them. I find threads with recipe ideas from various low carb forums very interesting. No ned to stick to N&I.

Good luck Lotte.

I'm doing exante as I'm not interested in the counselling of LL. Also there is dietmeal. To find out about diet meal there is a forum under celebrity slim. I haven't tried dietmeal.

Thanks a nice list.

Thanks I will remember that. I have had 2 liters of water and I am taking a little lie down but I am thinking about food.

Thanks Thanks very helpful link.

5 days in and so far so good. Have lost a bit of weight; but a bit wobbly about the weekend as family time usually means lots of meals. About to have my shake for breakfast; making my child a banana smoothie so he doesn't feel left out. Will take bar for when we are out and about. Probably...

Lost 7 pounds -- so happy!

I received the shaker today it has measurements on the side and it came with a free gift so I am happy. Also started exante today and so far so good. I know the coming days will be tougher but day one was just fine.

Thanks Amber that was a very explanation. Better than the exante website. Thanks so much.

Although I'm not doing WW I would like to join as I have been using my pedometer during the week. I will start tomorrow Sunday.

You all are so kind. Thanks for the welcome.

Wonderful inspiration thanks for posting.

Hi I am starting exante a very low calorie diet on Monday. Thanks to this forum I have been able to access some good information on the plan and I've gotten some ideas. Hopefully my ticker will show below but I am 5'4; 170 pounds and want to get down to 130 pounds by next March. Good...

Shipping was free. I ordered Thursday evening and got a message that they sent it 1st Class Royal Mail so hope to get it on Monday.

Thanks for the tip Just ordered one. Exactly what I was looking for!
