Yeah Im thinking I cant eat it , I know the tesco one I can but sold out :( Have this bar looking at me . Dont wanna eat it if I cant

So I can eat the "Biggest Loser " meal replacement bars then , yes?

choc crunch flavoured meal replacement bar

Ive run out of bars and really fancy something chocolaty , sent my hubby up to tesco to get some of their bars but they had sold out , he bought home instead " the biggest loser " bars . I havent eaten any yet as they have invert sugar syrup and I think im right in thinking we cant have this ...

I buy ducolax from morrisons very cheaply , take on tablet before I go to be and usually by 9am I go , but its not a mad rush to get to loo so works for me. Usually have to take it everyother week , generally its down to not drinking enough water one day that week

Well done you , hope you enjoyed your treat x

Well done dave , amazing losses

I am indeed looking forward to a nice bit of sunshine , ready for my baby brothers wedding.

I find what works for me is not to beat myself up too much and get back on with the plan , I had a major blip a few weeks ago , but thought to myself ive lost 2 stone in 8 weeks thats amazing and I wouldnt have done it with any other diet . I know when Ive been on other diets Ive cheated and...

Fab , glad you had a great time and lost weight too , even better .

Thank you for all your support. It really means the world when you know how others feel and we all have bad weeks. 43 days till holiday , 6 weeks on friday. So if I lose on avg 2lbs a week that 12lbs just under a stone.

Thanks guys for all your support , took my eye of the ball for a while with family visiting but back on it now 100% had two good days now and will be busy now until weekend so dont see a problem for the rest of the week

Well I knew I should have come on here more the last week for motivation and for willpower to be strong. Weighed in this week and STS . so very annoying but my own fault entirely . Tempted by family coming down and socialising too much. Im off out in a little while to buy my water for the week...

Well little sad face this morning , but I know I havent been 100% this week with family visiting and easter , Ive stayed the same no weight off . I know its down to me and will be turning it round this week as I have a holiday in less than 2 weeks and a wedding in 3 weeks so need to stay on...

Aww nixib , I hope you get better soon , nothing worse than being in pain . Im not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow , Ive been a bit naughty and know it will have an effect on my weight loss. This diet is hard when you are feeling poo or just have things going on like bank holiday weekends...

Well the last couple of days have been horrendous , think my body knows its easter as yet Ive not had anything I shouldnt have . Had a family barbecue and I did have chicken but nothing else . So hard with everyone having dips and nibbles

Ive never used keostixs after being told they were un reliable , sorry to be crude but i go by the colour of my pee, if its really pale I know im in ketosis.

I actually wore a pair of size 14 next cropped jeans the weekend and was shocked they fitted . Happy Days

I am pleased yes , now closer to my main goal to lose 59lbs . Can now say Im over half way and only 27lbs to do .

Jumped on the scales today , as I was only 3/4lbs off the 2 stone loss mark on Tuesday and had set myself a goal of 2 stone by the end of March and Ive lost 2lbs so the target I set myself is done . Now onto losing 10lbs by the end of April for my brothers wedding

I have spent this evening sorting out clothes that are now too big and put them in the charity bag . Few nice surprises along the way as I found some thing fitted that I thought wouldnt . Came downstairs extremely happy with myself and motivated to carry on for another 4 weeks before my holiday...

You have less to lose than me nixib , you can do this , today with the gorgeous weather and not wanting to cover up my size has made me more determined to lose the weight. I hated the summer last year and lived in big maxi dresses and cropped cardis to cover my arms. Not this year !!!! Im gonna...

Well week 7 weigh in was ok , 2 3/4lbs , happy with that especially as last week I spent two days in hospital worrying about hubby and ate a few things I shouldnt have , nothing too naughty , so thats probably why I didnt put on or stay the same . But from Thursday Ive been 100%. The clothes I...

Nearly at the end of week 5 and I can say this has been the easiest week yet. First meal of the day I have to remember to have been 12 & 1 as Im not hungry in the morning I dont have that natural instinct to go and make breakfast. I was so busy yesterday it was 1.30 before I had first meal ...

Babs Im in Plymouth

I only drink black coffee , sparkiling water and the tesco strawberry still water . I dont like coke anyway , but when I had some on CD I found on those weeks I had loss of 1 or 2lbs. Everybody's different some can tolerate it, some cant .

Well weekend is here again and the time when we all get tempted , Im busy tonight so that will help keep my mind off snacking whilst watching tv. Have my stock of water ready for the weekend and staying in the zone for a good weight loss on Tuesday.

Lol its not easy ill agree but once you follow it somehow your bound to get some benefits.I had a real sweat on last night and drank a pint of water whilst doing it

Hi hun , get you another 2lb off and TOTM , remember most ladies retain fluid and have a weight gain of 3 or 4lbs when its TOTM so dont be down hearted , just think of the positive the weight difference next week. You have lost over 18lbs which is massive in 4 weeks , no other diet you could...

ha ha , funny I only have the chocolate one hot when Im feeling a bit down. Never drink coke normally so not bothered about it , prefer the tesco still strawberry . Nearly made a mistake the other day though and picked up the peach one and then checked the back and it had citric acid , thank god...

Im sure you will , after you have got the first week out the way and you see the fab results your hooked to losing more weight. Im not saying its easy , ive had my moments when i could have opened the fridge and eaten something , but then Ive remembered why Im doing this. If I have a hungry...

will keep you up to date, my mate raved about it and said zumba 2 was better than previous one as you can follow the steps easier. Loving it at the moment , but will let you know how it goes

Bought Zumba 2 for the wii yesterday and did a 25minute class yesterday and the same today, god whoever classed Zumba as light exercise is not right in the head. Well i did enjoy it see what i feel like at the end of the week . Intention is to do some every night .

Ive just bought zumba 2 for the wii and did 25 minute class last night and tonight , so i will let you know if it changes anything , but i think just doing 25 mins per day isnt gonna speed it up as its only what some class as light exercise although it killed me lol

oh my TOTM is next week , had it during the first week so hes hoping I can keep out of the fridge. Ive been so busy today only had my lunch at 5pm so lingering on till at least 9pm for my last shake of the day . 5 boys to look after , omg !!!! I only have one at home now , my other three...

On Tuesday I should be having a food week but Im not, I did plan to have a food day as a treat and do that every 4 weeks , with hen nights, weddings etc coming up. However last week we went away for a couple of days and on the second day I had a none carb meal but had something small but naughty...

yeah nixib , i was the same in week 2 no shift for 4 days then all of a sudden 4lbs dropped off , all very odd , but drinking the water does help me shift the weight. My idea is to get to goal by sticking to it 100% and every 4 weeks or so when I have special occasions like hen weekend...

Hi Showdolly, as everyone has said on here this diet does work , Ive lost 17lbs in 3 weeks and hoping to get to the 20lbs loss on tuesday weigh in. I have found the support on her immensely supportive and probably by now I would have had a few cheats if I hadnt been supported by all forum...

Id say after the 3rd day , but if you dont drink enough water you do feel hungry , its that that fills you up.

Hi Nic , I did CD and I agree the products are much nicer and a lot cheaper. Now costs me £25 per week instead of the £42 , massive saving. Wish you well on your exante journey. Su x

Well 2 1/2 weeks into diet and still feeling positive. Weighed myself today and the scales havent shifted since Tuesday , but I knew this week might be a lower loss as Ive had a brilliant two weeks so far. Kept 100% to the diet even though its hubbys birthday and daughter came over with...

Thank all , hubby has told me off and to stop weighing myself. So Im gonna try and hold off till Tuesday weigh in

Felt hungry by 11am this morning which isnt the norm and weighed myself and I havent lost a llb since Tuesday. :confused: Looked at some of everyone else weight losses and seems if you have a decent weight loss in week 2 you only have a pound or 2lb loss in week 3. Or pound or 2 in week 2 and...

Well done Alan , looking forwward to seeing your weigh in 1st week, keep it up

Hi nixib , hope your still doing well , not long until the weekend now and then your weigh in Monday . Me the day after , think I will have a small loss this week though as ive donr pretty well up to now . Think it will be about 2lbs , cant keep on having a good weigh loss every week. Nearly ate...

Looking at buying the fruit drink powders to add to my water , can anyone tell me are they worth the money how many servings does it supply . Just working out whether its worth paying out £5:D

I now split my bar in two and have half in the afternoon and the second half later on in the evening when im watching late night tv. Its nice cause when everyone else has biscuits , sweets etc I have something to nibble too

last week i really fancied eating but wasnt hungry , all i did was made a coffee and do something whilst the kettle was boiling, then when I sat down with coffee Id done a job ie load washer or un load dishwasher and having a hot cuppa as a reward

Well day 16 and still going strong . Cold today and the rain is in for the day, so looks like a hot chocolate shake today and bouillon later if I feel like Im feeling the cold. Plus Water is harder to get down when its cold. Really love this forum and reading how others have got on with weigh...

Hi Maizie I drink bouillion inbetween , its helps like you say when you need something warm . Its about £1.90 from asda or sainsburys . Marigold Buillion Vegtable Stock reduced salt one you need .

yes it is but mines called marigold buillion vegatable stock reduced salt. Got it from asda in the end as my tesco did not have any.

All you guys are amazing without all your support this diet would be so much harder xxxx

Thank you for all your support , it really helps 2 week weigh in and I lost 4lbs, was hoping or 5lbs but 13lbs off now so first stone will be next week. Im well in the zone , never going back to being fat again ,this is it!!!! Was a little down today about not reaching the 1 stone but its...

4lbs off this week so 45lbs left to do

Hi ladies and Gent , It does get easier . Ive now been on it for 2 weeks and think the turning point for me was day 10-11, Really thought well Ive bought 4 weeks worth of products so gotta stick it out . I find the bars are now too much for me in the afternoon so halve it and have the second...

I was a little disappointed at 4lbs but as my other half reminded me 4lbs is a good loss in one week. Been out looking at new cars and kept busy, so havent had time to dwell too much . Im happier now and getting back on it to start shifting the weigh this week. Looking forward to seeing everyone...

Hi All, weigh in today and Ive lost 4lbs was hoping for 5lbs to make it to my first stone but not to be . So 13lbs off in 2 weeks. But the main thing is I feel great and have lost inches and Im going for 2 stone by March 20th ..................so watch this space guys xxxxx:D

well im not letting it get to me , Ill soldier on carry on the way I have been and look forward to jumping on the scales tomorrow . I know ive been 100% and have lost this week. Just have to wait to see how much. If its not a lot, then onto week 3 to lose the first stone.

Hi All , thanks for your supportive responses , I have been totally 100% for the past fortnight nothing has passed my lips all bit a mouth spray now and again and the boullion last night which was reduced salt one . Im sure your all right and that its all down to water retention or just a blip...

Jumped on the scales today before weigh in tomorrow and said I wouldnt as I jumped on yesterday too . Between yesterday and today Ive gained a llb. What the hell. Im hoping its just a blip on the scales part and it will all change at weigh in tomorrow. Come on those 5lbs I need you to come off...

Thanks Dolly , only another day to weigh in day 12 today . Had a brilliant day , tried someting new and its really worked wonders especially as its a sunday and not a busy day. Had my vanilla shake at 12.30 , plenty of water and coffee inbetween and then at 4.30 had half my bar with a large...

well , i threw all my size 18 clothes out when I lost weight on CD , so ave clothes currently sizes 12,14 & 16 . In the last 11 day my size 16' s are now longer tight and have rolls of fat hanging over the top of my jeans so all looking good to getting into 14's and then hopefully those 12's

cant believe I havent tried this before , ideal for those moments when your feeling like a change between shakes and water

Hi Ill join your team too. Have a holiday looming on the 20th May so this will help me too. Id like to lose 3 1/2 stone by then. Blue Butterfly - 49lbs to go. (0/49) Dolly_Daydream - 42lbs to go. (0/42) Norwegian girl - 42lbs to go. (0/42) riapnut - 42lbs to go. (0/42) Ali - 42lbs+ to go. (0/42)...

Hi bb12 , I was on CD before and lost 3 stone , but stupidly I stopped amd went back to my old unhealthy eating pattern after. Having put back on the 3 stone in 18 months Im now doing Exante and loving it. Only 11 days in but the meals are much nicer than CD and they are cheaper , especially as...

A human head ......how funny

Thanks Mrsbroadside, hope your having a good week. Looking forward to my weigh in on Tuesday and willing the 5lb difference to be there.

Hey Dolly your doing Fab, same weight loss as me first week. Like the idea of splitting meals up , I do with the bars but not the shakes but may have a go this week see how I go. I ordered a pack of bars and shakes and once pay day is here on 29th order pack of porridges +2 and that will take me...

Day 11 - well today so far has been a breeze , but have been keeping busy all day. Had my Banana Shake at 12 and gotta have my bar early today about 4 as Im going out tonight so will have to have my Shake about 7.30 , wont last till midnight when I get in . Ill just have to drink plenty of water...

Felt better to day , On Day 10 ...........been bussy to be fair as I had a late night party to do . Got home at 12.30am. Had my shake on the way to work at 7pm whilst driving and then had 2 large coffees whilst i was working. Drove home about 11.30pm but had water in the car so drank that on the...

Hi if you posted it in 100% total solutions and mention food at at all it will be moved .

Welcome Sue , Im on day 10 and did cambridge before this too , but stopped and weight came back on . Exante is a lot cheaper than CD and I think the shakes and soup are much nicer. I cut down on the carbs before I started too and drank more water , good luck on monday and keep on posting your...

Hi Claz well done not giving into temptation so easy to do that. But were not cheaters and like you say plenty of water and a black coffee and tummy is full again . Everytime i feel like food, I have a coffee and think about me jumping on the scales and seeing those numbers going down

Hope the new hair do went well. I had a change today , had to attend a monthly meeting in Taunton , hour drive , only coffee when I got there and no water to be seen. Felt better once I got some water inside me. Still in the zone and looking forward to the weigh in next week. Im finding the...

day 9 Well today has been a funny old day , came in from a meeting and had to sleep felt so shakey and tired. Usually have a shake about 12 but today as I had a meeting at 10.30- 2pm decided to squeeze in a bar between lunch break. Headachy too but put that down to not being able to drink the...

I think the husks is the way to go , laxative as a last resort , they are too easy to depend on and not good for you to keep doing throughout the diet. Im on my 9th day and have been three times , find I go every third day. I was on CD before and found I needed someting to make me go , but this...

Who loves Towies? Does make me laugh , going to bed after Ive drank another 2 glasses of water. Meeting tomorrow so taking a bar and hoping no one notices. Tbh exante bars look like the normal cereal bars you can get in the shops so maybe they wont notice. Feeling tired tonight so looking...

Thanks precious looks like we have the same goal to be slim by summer. Im sure we will get there . See you have done amazingly well yourself . Do you find you have more shakes, soups than bars . Ive just had a months delivery of mixed shakes and bars and wondering if I should have kept away from...

sorry sorry , started writing and forgot when mentioning food:o

Day 8 , been an ok day , still in the zone had shake at 12noon and then had grandaughter over for the afternoon so whilst she was here I had my bar , little earlier than i intended but her treats were about. I did not have any though and have kept to the diet. Not wanting to cheat anyway , want...

Grandaughter was over today and always get her a few treats , shes like me prefers nibbles to proper food. Like cheese, pringles, dips and olives. I really fancied some cheese but did not have any , I know that once I put a little bit in my mouth that will be it. Made do with plenty of water...

Thanks for info about shaker have ordered one too . Easier when Im away from home to use a shaker

I think youve done so well and a third of the way to your target . I had a bad day and bought some tesco still strawberry water so it felt like a treat. Now if im feeling like i might reach for food, I have a nice bath or a glass of water. Fizzy water does fill you up more though I found on CD ...

Day 7 and weigh in day , lost 9lbs so well happy . Even with TOTM Im surprised. Hoped for 10lbs to take me below the 15 stone but that will happen next week. New meals arrived at 10.30 this morning so i have plenty of choice for the next 4 weeks . Only ordered bars and shakes pack and think i...

oxopop thats amazing 27lbs in 3 weeks . Im hoping i can do as well but will be happy with that loss in 6 weeks. Your doing great guns and ill be watching your progress

It has indeed , well on the way to being nice and slim again. Thanks for everyones support

I will be updating signature and ticker bar later , mouse has broke so off to buy a new one along with a trip to the jewellers

Hello my beautiful peeps............1st weigh in and Ive lost 9 wonderful pounds:eek:. So pleased was hoping for 10lbs to take me to 14sstone 13 wasnt to be.:sigh: Good news though it will keep me on track for next week to shift the extra llb. So Target for next week is 5lbs for my 1st stone . I...

Think we all have our down days, but that god for everyone of you who support us through our down days. Without you we'd be lost. Your all stars in my eyes , those that have lost lots of weight already supporting and inspiring us , those of you who are in weeks 2 and 3 and help us through the...

Well I started last week and weigh in is tomorrow but Start weight was 15st 9lbs heaviest Ive ever been Goal weight is 11st 7lb - so just over 4 stone. Want to lose a stone in the first two weeks and be at my target for holiday in August. Will update you all tomorrow with weight loss

thanks everyone for your support , back in the zone , was determined to stick to it , I know how much I can lose on this diet and have to now as Ive got wedding out fit and want to look good on holiday. Maizie just keep thinking of the slim you when the warmer weather comes and not having to...

I never got a confirmation email on first delivery but had one for delivery tomorrow Hope it comes early as I dont fancy soup at 12 , only have soup left.

Well done nix , weigh in for me tomorrow so Im hoping for 10lbs too. I can but hope ............been busy today and I think thats the key.Good luck for week 2

hi nix , today was a lot easy , had loads to do though so thats probably why . Went shopping for wedding outfit for my brothers wedding and then had a pile of ironing to do when i got in so I kept busy. Didnt have my soup till 9pm . Hope you have had a good weekend too , cant believe I have my...

Day 6- Been a good day , no problems at all had my 3 meal replacements , plenty of water and coffee and feel on top of the world looking forward to weigh in on tuesday , plus my new order coming on Tuesday too

Well today has been a breeze, not been hungry at all . Been out most of the day getting outfit for my brothers wedding. Currently between a size 16-18 , so Ive motivated myself by buying a size 14 dress and Jacket. Got home at 4pm and had my bar and strong coffee , to get over the shock of...

feeling better , had my mushroom soup which I loved and have bought a bottle of tesco still strawberry water , thought having something sweet might help and it has. Thank you for all your support x

well I have lots to look forward to this year , first I have my little brothers wedding on the 28th April , as my family live in the midlands it will be nice to shock them all with me nice and slimmer . Would love to lose 2 1/2 stone by then and get back in a size 14 ( dress/jacket is a 14 Ive...

Day 5 , think this the hardest day Ive had of all .........went to bed at 4am and TOTM , so not sure whether that has affected me , woke up hungry but held out till 1pm for porridge , felt immediately better so cracked on with clearing rubbish in garden . Came in at 3 feeling shaky and hungry ...

I never have my first one till 12 or 1pm , drink plenty of coffee and water before then. 2nd one I have about 5 or 6pm and then hang out till at least 9pm+ for last one . I just drink loads of fizzy water in between and if i have the bar it takes me longer to eat it , eat it in 2 halves

Not sure why but finding it very hard today . So hungry ............not sure whether its cause I had a late night 4am and TOTM has anything to do with it but Im starving. Been doing plenty to keep busy but feel shaky so stopped.

Hi Dolly daydream, look forward to hearing about your progress next week. Ive just ordered my next 4 week supply , bars and milk shakes only . So will be here another 4 weeks yet

can you please tell me where you buy bullion from

I agree totally , think the problem is you get in the zone and you think your still fat, so keep going . When I remember back to June 2010 when I thought I was obese I was in a size 14 , but i looked really good on photo's

Yeah I got to 12 1/2 stone before on CD but need to get down to 11 1/2 stone. Have in total of 58lbs to lose. Looked a photos of when I was 11 stone and I look ill , neck is all scrawny, see my collarbones and hip bones through a dress i have on . Not a good look I find the support on her...

I know , I only got up twice last night , but before that about 5 times in the night. Think if I remember correctly it gets better the second week. I must be mad ive just started on clearing the spare room , I must be mad , but it will keep me busy tonight

cheers I think I will be too. God and stocking up on loo roll , forever peeing. Wish I had a downstairs loo , but all exercise I know

Day 4 Well apart from the metal taste this morning I feel great , Had a shake for breakfast , had the chocolate and was surprised how nice it was . I never liked the CD chocolate ones they were too strong in flavour for me , too chocolaty if that possible lol. Exante are just right for me so not...

Hi nixib , looking at your stats etc we can compare weight loss together You started the day before me and we are the same height. I weigh 19lbs more than you but my overall target is close to yours. Be good to compare notes. Hope your having a good first week and you have a good result on...

yeah stinky breath is not good. Think i may be buying mouthwash. Can you use mouth sprays does anyone know?

Woke up this morning with a horrific metal taste in my mouth , brushed teeth twice and still there. Feel full of energy and havent been hungry at all, 2pm now and Ive only had one shake ....................so looking forward to Tuesday 1st weigh in

Stapo60 - 18lbs (-2.5lb 15.5 to go) Mia - 10lb (-1.5lb, -3lb = 5.5 to go) Norwegian girl - 12lbs (-3.6lbs, 8.4lbs to go) Time2 go - 10 lbs Marianne01 - 12lb AaronCampbell - 18lbs (-6.4lbs) Jojo76 - 14lb (-4lb, 10lb to go) Kenshin112 - 17lbs Lauriel - 12lbs Steeleee - 28lbs (-19lbs, 9lbs to go)...

hi can i still join this even though we are 10 days in

Hi been reading your posts all week , and you've really inspired me to do this diet. I think the 3 bars you ate wont make much difference its not as if you binged out on takeaway, sweets and cakes. I ate 3 bars when i was on CD and ill it did was slow my weigh loss down that week , but the...

Welcome , I started on tuesday and Im now on day 4 , no problems at all . Im drinking 2 litres of non flavoured sparkling water too as this fills me up during the day plus my coffee. Coming on here really helps

I drink 2 litres of sparkling none flavoured water a day , helps me get through feeling hungry during the day. On top of about 5 large coffees i know i then have enough fluid intake every day

Hi All , thought Id track my progress through a diary and seeing as Ive done CD in the past and lost weight but never really used this forum . I know it will help motivate me and support me to lose the weight and keep it off. Got my variety pack Tuesday morning and all very excited plannned my...

Ive done CD before and its 12 weeks before you have a break and I find that that works , 4 weeks I think is to early as either you can wait for week 4 thinking i can have a binge or you can stop eating once you do . I will going on holiday for a weekin week 11 so will be having a break then ...

Thanks everyone , Im totally focused and all your support really helps . Have a lot of goals to work towards this year. Girls hen weekend 30th March , they are all 10 years younger than me and size 8- 12 Then week in Marbella with work colleagues , so I dont want to be covering up wanna have fun...

just tried the tomato and basil soup Omg just tried the tomato and basil soup, it wasnt as bad as I thought , after trying the vegatable and really having to force it down Im pleased I now at least like one soup now. Thank you to everyone with their encouragement . Just back tracked to the...

thank you x

I do prefer the toffee bars to the orange ones. The toffee are more bearable . Just trying to work out what to order for the next 4 weeks makes sense to buy in bulk. Really dont think i will be ordering soups, trying one again this evening so we will see. What does everyone order, do you all do...

Day 3- was hungry last night but purely down to not going to bed till 3am. Had my first shake at 12 today , held out a little longer found that worked on CD for me before not to have anything before 12 unless I had a meeting . Weighed myself this morning to see how things were progressing after...

Thanks Lizzy , so pleased Ive got some advice on the porridge . Ordering some more this week for next so want to make sure I get the consistency right.

I will be putting mine in a mug tomorrow and drink it like a cuppa soup. Added more water to mine as i found it too thick ,but then it took ages to eat

what did you think to the vegetable soup.

Very happy with the way things have gone so far , had more fluids today .....4 black coffees and now 2 litres of water . I know on CD it was the water that helped shift the weight and stopped me from feeling hungry. Still have my last shake to have and then going to plan my selection of...

Thanks, I used to make it with Hot water when I was on cambridge but as it said cold water I thought Id try the recommended way . I will try your way tomorrow.

I think if you regularly do exercise it will be ok , I found when i did more on CD , it never increased the losses.

Im just sticking to sparkling water and black coffee ..........Im lucky that, Ive never like coke or fizzy drinks , even squash I have a splash in water . I do like my coffee strong though lol, get through 150g coffee a week.

well done Annie another 6lbs amazing

Hi nixib , Ive started on week 1 yesterday after putting my weight back on , not finishing the plan completely with CD. Everyone on the forum has been very helpful and supportive and Im looking forward to the coming weeks to see everyones weight loss too.

me too Kaceyboo

Once I got used to the CD porridge I loved it , but the consistency of exante it like water , did not thicken up at all. Taste was ok , wasnt replusive . Just had another bar and really not sure on the sawdust taste whilst eating it . Think thats another thing to get used to LOL

Ive been on CD and only reason I didnt go back this time was purely down to cost. My first day was yesterday and its similar to CD at a faction of the cost. Good Luck with it

Hi had porridge this morning , but it was very runny, is this right? I put in 200ml of water should I have put less. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

thanks everyone, yes Aaron did mean ticker not timeline, sorry have timelines on the brain at the moment

rampant

brilliant well done , Im looking forward to my weigh in next week

When i lost weight on CD , I would never have my first shake till 1pm , bar or soup about 5 or 6pm and that would keep me going then till about 9 or 10pm ...........filled up on sparkling water inbetween helped a litre a day plus black coffee. I stopped doing CD in december 2010 and since then...

Hi All , box arrive late morning and as i was having a late start to the day I decided to start the today yippee for me . Had a Vanilla shake was my first meal and it did remind me of the cambridge shakes so not bad. Had a bar have way through the day , not as impressed as the cambridge ones ...
