I was lent the entire box set of the west wing and have to say have become entirely hooked. Love it so much! The characters are amazing! Wish I'd watched it when it was on originally :-)

Hi TidyFairy think if you stick to plan 100% and drink tons of water then you'll be in for a good weight loss. I did lighterlife before exante so knew what to expect with the diet and ketosis etc. Couldn't believe how much cheaper it was!!!anyway good luck hun let us know how you get on :-)

Ooh may check that out - I'm struggling abit today - so sick and tired of drinking water - my mouth tastes horrible but will journey on :-(

Yer I lost 10lbs last week! So thrilled. Hope you're doing we'll :-)

Right Vicky get your act together! Today on day 11 I am starting the week feeling more positive. I'm gonna try hard and stick to plan from now till Friday morning on my daughters birthday. We're going out for a meal so I may have a small carvery - stay away from potatoes but fill up on veg and...

Thanks NatNat for your encouraging words. Hope you're doing ok hun :-)

Yer not doing bad - think I'm better mon to fri when I'm busy at work. Weekends are a killer as I just want to eat nibblies and drink wine. It's funny what eating habits you get used to. Apparently it takes 4 weeks to break a habit so waiting to see how I feel in a fortnight. Keep going hun -...

Porridge biscuits? Hmmmm sounds interesting. How do you make those? ;-)

Thanks hulllou and sainsbury and yer might give that flavoured wine drink a go. To be honest all I'm drinking is either black coffee, sparkling or still water and I'm getting so bored with it! Made a wee blunder today - we went to hobby craft for longer than expected and so by 2.30 I still...

Hey xAlanna your 1st week is nearly over and that is the hardest. You sound like you're in the zone especially seeing others eat KFC and not caving in. Good luck on your journey - drink loads of water and you'll do fine ;-)

So now into week 2 and feeling alot better than I did this time last week. Went to meadowHELL this morning to look for birthday pressie for my dd and was thrust into temptation on every corner. The sweet cinnamon pretzel stall was offering samples as I walked passed and literally shoved the tray...

Hey NatNat don't be too hard on yourself - it was only a small blip just try and get back on track and think of it as a new day. Really don't think those minstrels will have done much damage. Take care hunny :-)

Thanks gigglepants, very pleased :-)

Hey NatNat, I'm aiming to lose 2.5 stone and 3 is a bonus but not putting too much pressure on myself. My main aim is just to fit back into my clothes that I wore last year and that now don't fit me. I've just weighed myself and I've lost 10lb so I'm thrilled so I'm sure you'll have a good...

Well done that's a brilliant loss :-)

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Lost 10lb this week!!!! Yay!!! More than thrilled. Think some part of me was thinking if I'd only lost 1lb then I should give it up as it wasn't worth all the headaches and rubbishy flu feelings but however this weight loss is now spurring me on. I know it's only water you...

Thanks waterworks... Fingers crossed ;-)

Hi ladies, I have to say this time round is harder. By tomorrow I'll have done it a week and am hoping what I see on the scales tomorrow is enough to drive me on to another week. The best thing about it for me is the fast rate you lose weight. I did weight watchers, slimming world for years and...

Yer gigglepants I'm hoping for maybe a carvery so can stock up on veg and defo no pudding - sparkling water is a good choice aswell

Ooh yer please let me know - may have to order some of that :-)

Hi gigglepants just saw your post, I'm getting there I think. Hope you're doing ok :-)

Day 6 and feel abit down - I'm missing not been able to look forward to a glass of wine on an evening and thinking of my daughters birthday next fri and how I'm going to manage that without eating conventional food. Think we're taking her to sundown on the sat as her main treat but then fri...

Hi there - yer I'm doing ok. Had a delay in starting so only started last fri and on day 6 now. Not had as many hunger pangs but think that cos I've been drinking water like a fish. Looking forward to Fridays weigh in :-))))

Day 6 and I've woken up feeling good and not hungry. Got a busy today and hoping I'll be able to cram all the water in. My girls haven't asked yet why I'm not eating with them as much but that will probably come at the weekend. Must admit last night I could have easily grazed watching tv but...

Hey anniem I tend to just use a little water to make into a paste and then add more until consistency of angel delight. I found that drinking shakes aswell as all water was getting boring and so I started making them like this. It is an aquired taste though and takes a while for taste buds to...

Just catching up on your diary and you're doing fab. Nice to know you enjoy the meals aswell as I haven't got round to trying them yet. Maybe next week. Keep up the good work :-)

Thanks susysu and gigglepants. Well day 5 here and feel like death warmed up - almost flu symptoms - hope it gets easier soon. Got alot of negative comments from work colleagues yesterday saying I was making myself ill living off so few calories a day - both girls are very lovely but size 8's...

Hey Lisa I re-started 4 days ago after losing weight on exante 2 years ago and then unfortunately putting it all back on and some but this time I'm determined to make it work. Just keep counting down to your 1st weigh in. Good luck hun :-)

Well done valentine, reading your diary I can relate to your journey and you're encouraging me to stick at it in these tricky first few days. I'm sure it won't be long before you're in the 11's with your determination.

Can't wait to read your results red and great idea about the present buying. May suggest that to my hubby :-)

*push up challenge not sit up

Well done Mrs McGregor you're doing really well and love reading your diary updates. The sit up challenge sounds interesting, could do with starting some exercise :-)

Day 4 yay!!! It's going faster than I thought. Can't wait for wi on fri but until then I'm not going to peep. Feel these first few days are more doable than last time I did exante and I think that's down to vast amount of water I'm drinking and also cutting out artificial sweetener in coffee...

Day 3 ... Woke up feeling light headed and abit down - really missing food today :-( I got my girls their bran flakes and was so tempted to grab a handful - they smelt (weirdly) so good. Ho hum! On a brighter note I'm loving my knitting. It kept me busy whilst watching xfactor last night whereby...

Feeling very happy as just bought knitting needles and some nice cream wool in an attempt to make a scarf and keep my hands busy. Haven't knitted in years in fact since I was a little girl when my grandma taught me so I'll see what I can remember. My hubby is laughing at me but I'm hoping it...

Love your enthusiasm sainsbury - you'll do it :-)

Thanks jasper it's diet that really works I just have to think about maintenance after and low carb might be a good plan aswell as regular exercise. Last week I was sat watching tv and just ate one thing after another just for the sake of it - I don't think I even really enjoyed half the things...

Thanks red - crossing the days off as I go :-)

Sorry red - pressed send and hadnt finished typing Doh! Just saying you're a few days ahead of me and feel encouraged with you saying that the hunger pains have passed - I can't wait got that! Anyway keep going - loving your resistance to treats :-)

Hey red well done - you're a few days infrint of me

So after being encouraged by reading so many diaries - I thought I would write my own. I'm hoping this mainly will keep me going when times are getting tough. I did exante 2 years ago and lost 2.5 stone - only then to put it back on with rather alot of comfort eating due to stressful events...

After a 2 week delay I can finally say I have arrived at day 1 on exante. Feeling a little anxious especially as I am slap, bang in the middle of time of the month but if I don't start now then I'll never start. I'm horrified at my weight of 13stone 10lb! Since stopping doing slimming world...

Thanks guys - love the support on here. Good luck to you both :-)

Hello lovely exante peeps! Just reading your diaries is really inspiring me to return. I Successfully got to my goal of weighing 10 stone 7lb when I did exante 2 years ago and sad to say since then I have put 3 stone back on. The first year I maintained really well but then personal events in my...

Well done Domane! You're doing fab. Love your enthusiasm - you've inspired me :-)

Hey that's brill - as a newbie to running just wondered if you've suffered from any injuries yet? Are you losing weight with it as a result?

Hi. Everyone, I'm a newbie here and haven't a book to refer to so am gaining all my low carb knowledge from here. Just wondered how much jelly is ok to have as I'm craving something sweet? Also can anyone recommend any other sweet low carb treats?

That was me who recommended it ha! It's good isn't it. Like that she has experienced same weight loss as us on similar diet but is managing her weight well - very inspiring. X

I know I was worried about the same thing, but I'm determined to not go back to my old bad habits. I did a straight 9 weeks TS without cheating once so I know I've got the willpower and ability to make wise food choices now. One thing I'm steering clear of is White bread as that was my downfall...

Hey Abi, I've been advised to do simple solution throughout maintenance. It's basically having the 3 exante products as with TS plus adding a meal of about 600 cals. I'm weaning myself gradually back up to 600 cals as I've been getting really full on small portions. Biggest advice I've been...

Wow that's not long at all. Well done! I look forward to reading how you get in for inspiration :-)

Hi guys, just updating that I'm now coming to end of week 2 and lost another 2lb. I'm pleased with this as I'm not looking for 'big' losses now but the power to control the weight I've reached give or take a few lb's. I'm still having 3 exante shakes a day but adding a meal for tea and I've...

Oh that's good to know cos alot of the time diet coke is on offer and not coke zero lol

I have to say that coke zero is brill as a sweet treat on TS but for my 1st 4 weeks I didn't have any and then started having about 1/2 to a can a day. I found it started making me feel hungrier than before and I started needing a sweet fix and I began craving more. I know this doesn't happen to...

I didn't think diet coke was allowed as it contains citric acid that can interfere with ketosis, whereas coke zero doesn't. I may be wrong though x

I would recommend a website pegalexanderkeepingweightoff.co.uk. In a nutshell she lost 5 stone with lighterlife and has maintained her weight for last 6 years (?) on her website she shares info on foods she eats, she refuses to count calories but just eats alot of the right stuff with treats...

Hey james you've made a fab choice. I'm just coming to the end of my 8th week and I've lost about 22lbs and I'm a few pounds away from my goal now. The 1st week was more or less hell but since then to now it has felt for me like a walk in the park. You find a routine that works for you in terms...

I was at first but my body is used to it now. To be honest if I have any less I get really bad constipation so now I just get on with it and sup up. I vary it between sparkling and still though as too much still makes me feel water logged

I drink 3 litres from 7.00 am to 12.00 and then another 1and a half in a'noon and then litre in evening x

I live on shakes and bars. I found the soups bleurgh. My only worry is that when I'm back eating normally that I'll only want sweet things

Thanks so much. Hoping to carry on TS till goal then onto WS, but think I'm gonna introduce a different food group each week abit like lighterlife. Think I'll be overly cautious not to put weight back on again. Well done to you aswell, we may have to help each other.

Thanks for advice bunny hops. I only wanted to do exante for another couple of wks ( am nearly at my goal) so whilst exante is cheaper to buy for 28 days bumper pack, to buy weekly works out abit pricey. Will re- think anyway, thanks again x

Hey Kim, good luck and stick with it. I won't deny it's tough the first 5 days but then it does get easier. I'm starting week 8 now and love it. When you see all weight drop off it does spur you on. The amount of water you drink definately helps aswell. I try and drink at least 4 litres...

Just coming to end of my shakes, I still have plenty of bars left and wondered if I could use tesco's own meal replacement shakes and my exante bar as total solution. Don't really know the nutritional value of tesco's stuff and would hate to be thrown out of ketosis. I was just thinking it might...

Hi all, well just had my 6th weigh in and lost another 3lb - yay Penny (Fittp00) Katt -23lbs (in total) ShellBell - Week 3 - 5lb Lost, Total = 21lb !!! Kazz Lauryn Lelly Magi Kelly LastDiet week 3 5lbs lost..total 19lbs Kellyshines 8 lbs lost Honeytemple88 Tenney 19lb Nicci 24lbs from...

Ginger & proud that's amazing! In 7 wks aswell!

Hey viks, sorry only just got your message. I haven't started a diary as yet but I'm tempted to keep me on the straight and narrow. Thanks for adding me as a friend will have to look on the main pc to see how that works as I tend to use my iPhone mini mins app for quick posts. Hope you are doing...

Ooh that does sound scrummy. I'm going to try that

Actually I do see the point. In my 1st week I was getting so bored of drinking everything (other than the bar) that I longed for something I could get my teeth into, so it did serve a temporary purpose for me. Admittedly aswell I was struggling to consume it as a soup as it made me feel sick...

hi all, sorry ive kept forgetting to update. Everyone is doing so well, im very inspired Penny (Fittp00) Katt -21lbs (in total) ShellBell - Week 3 - 5lb Lost, Total = 21lb !!! Kazz Lauryn Lelly Magi Kelly LastDiet week 3 5lbs lost..total 19lbs Kellyshines 8 lbs lost Honeytemple88 Tenney 13...

I've been looking at LL approach to maintenance by introducing a food group back into the diet gradually week by week ie one week bread, one week dairy like cheese, milk etc so may try this after exante.

Hey tulipangel I'm really enjoying reading your diary. It's hard sometimes been round food though isn't it. I'm usually ok, but after church yesterday we went upstairs for a coffee with friends and they were all tucking into muffins, cupcakes etc and I sat with my bottle of water wishing I...

That is fab Mandy! Way to go! You must be so pleased x

Hey Alex, gonna look forward to reading your diary. Stick with it for 1st few days tho, drink tons of water and the weight will just drop off you. I've been doing it for 3 and a half weeks now and I love it.

Well done zelda's. You are doing fab x

Hey just hang on in there, it will be so worth it on your first weigh in. I kept motivated on my 1st week by reading diaries on here and drinking loads fizzy water. Once you get to end of week it should be plain sailing. Keep coming on here though if you are struggling, you can do it X

Thanks bunny hops will seek it out :-)

Beck book? Is that a book about vlcd's?

I drink more water/ coffee/coke zero. Brushing teeth is also good when seriously tempted as you won't want anything to eat with that mint taste in your mouth ha ha

Well done mr mojo, *inspired*

So week 3 and I've gone and lost another 3lbs!!!!!! Whoop whoop whoop! That's 13lb in 3 weeks. What's happening here lol, I don't even feel like I'm trying. Thanks guys for all your support and encouragement. I'm now 11 stone 7 lb and goal weight is 10 stone 6lb before my birthday oct 11th...

Hey chunkyflossy you are doing really well. It is so tough the first few days isn't it but just hold in there and it will soon pay off. I wrestled with soups and shakes during my first week but now I love shakes and bars ( still hate soups) I was so depressed when saw my family tucking into...

Hi Helen just wondered how much you paid for your bars as I'm about to order my second batch from exante but wondered if tesco ones work out cheaper.

Hi shellyn, the only thing I'd suggest would be to split your vanilla shake and use in coffee - makes it abit creamy like a latte the more you use. Good luck, I'm on day 19 and loving it x

Yes it DEF does say in the booklet ( my bedtime read for several nights) that if you are a certain height you can have 4 on exante. What that height is I don't remember.

Thanks Darcy and Heffer you guys seem to be doing great aswell

Hi everyone I am TS'ing exante and loving it. Health wise I haven't felt as good as this in a long time and my 1st weigh in last sat was a loss of 7lb. I got weighed yesterday and have lost 3lb so that's a total of 10lb in 2 weeks - yay! The best thing is I don't really feel like I'm 'dieting'...

Hi, I know I'm in the wrong place for posting this but could someone tell me how to change my ticker its driving me mad :mad:

Just add a small amount of cold water to make a paste and mix really well so its consistency of a whip.It's an acquired taste as first time it tastes abit shall we say 'different' but i love it now. It's great to be eating rather than drinking all the time

Yep it does sound like WS is the way forward for you, that way you get to eat a protein/low carb meal everyday and also have 3 of the soups/shakes/ bars and you still lose. I really can't stand the soups at mo but am hoping my tastebuds will change as I have lots to use up. The shakes work...

All the best purple daisy, bet you can't wait to start. Just stick with it first few days and you'll soon get into the flow. I am on day 12 and I haven't felt as healthy as this for ages :-)

It's Saturday eek! I love that buzz you get before you get weighed

You are doing brill Tulipangel. I had a few days of giving up last week (on my 1st week) and so glad I didn't now. Wait till your weigh in, it will boost you, forget what you read on the scales for now, things can and will change so quickly.

I have a couple of cans of coke zero in fridge in case of emergencies but a little wary of having them as someone posted on here a while ago they can make you hungry. Is this true? I think I'm just thinking back to LL where it was banned all way through. Though I have read many posts where...

I use my iPhone and I get those aswell. I think it just means the number of people who have posted on the threads/diaries you've also commented on. Also the new posts are a different colour to old ones so I know they are new. Hope this helps, it is abit confusing.

Ha it's fine, I'm not brilliant with them either. How are you getting on?

Hey excellent idea. Where did you buy them from, haven't seen them in shops for ages

Hi Miss Gina D I used to make poppadoms with lighter life packs so thought why not do the same with exante. I don't tend to have them daily as microwave cooking can kill some of the nutrients. I mix a soup into a paste with a drop of water and then spread it onto a microwavable plate quite...

Hey kay80 just started reading your thread and it's inspiring me to write my own. I'm only on week 1 of exante and it's already tough as it's coming up to my totm. You've only had a small blip in the great scheme of things so just start today as a new day and maybe even set yourself mini goals...

Good luck Rubyangel, I can't compare packs to CD as not done it but love the bars and shakes and they seem to fill me up nicely now I'm in ketosis

I have a mug of the normal bouillon ( 1 tsp) about 5.30 when my family are eating their tea with about 4 splashes of Tabasco sauce - yum

I only make them into poppadoms when I really cant stomach the soup. Mix the soup into a paste (not too runny) and spread quite thinly onto a microwable plate. Zap in microwave for about 3 mins and then when it comes out you should be able to peel it off plate and put it on a cool rack then...

Great loss in your 1st week, not surprised you're so pleased. It will spur you on for week 2

Fantastic news!!!!!

Hey ginger and proud thats fab! Very inspiring. Also I live just outside of huddersfield :D

Have to say I'm not exercising for the 1st week till I start getting zapped with some more energy and then it will prob be a 20 min walk building up to more but gradually. The weeks I introduce a meal I think I will do more exercise though as my calorie intake will be abit more. Again I think...

Hi nicci, good to have you with us. Hope you are finding it ok, the support on here is great.

Hi gina, first few days are def hard work but results will be so worth it. Another tip is have some coke zero around for times when people tempt you. I was tempted today by my daughter waving chocolate in front of me but managed to resist. Come on here as much as you can for support and be open...

Hi, day 4 and I am beyond hunger :sigh: so I decided to have an extra shake so not to sabotage diet, but I figured half may just passify me till I have my bar at 8.00. Anyway decided on choc shake as not had one yet but made as hot chocolate. Well it was lovely and didnt need sweetening and I...

Hey CrazySexyCool I know how you feel (I'm day 3) Its really helped coming on here and reading peoples diaries for encouragment. Ive been taking long baths, drinking sparkling water as it seems to fill me more than normal water, drinking black coffee and bouillon soups. Before you know it...

I'd go with a week from when you started here which would mean friday right? How are you getting on with it?

Welcome back and good luck, its great to have you on board.

Hey well done kellyshines thats brill. If i lose that I will be ecstatic. Im on day 3 and still finding it hard but have to say I really couldnt stomach the mushroom soup for lunch so I did naughtily make it into poppadoms and I know it may possibly kill some of the nutrients but I dont plan to...

Yer Kazz well done and hope your son is ok now.

Aaah love you guys!!! Im still struggling with hunger pangs and tiredness but I have a will of steel at the moment and am just plodding on reassured by you all that it will get easier. My little girls have been asking why I've stopped eating meals which I found tricky as I dont really want them...

Hi Liz, great to have you on board. If you are anything like me then you'b be itching for those packs to arrive. Good that you've done cd before as you'll know what getting into the ketosis stage is like. All the best and cant wait to see your posts. The support is brill on here.

Aah thanks everyone for all the positive comments. Its great to have the support. Think a drop more water and then an early night. Must admit im enjoying not having that bloated just before bed feeling after too much saturday night junk food.

I am on day 1 and am abso-blooming starving. I have drunk 3 litres of water allready and had a bouillon about 10 mins ago with half of my bar (saving other half till kids are in bed) I feel lethargic and headachey and just want to go to bed. I am enjoying all the products, mainly because im so...

Thanks for the add. Roll on next saturday when its the WI. Good luck everyone, I'm looking forward to being inspired.

Aaah thanks for the add, roll on next sat when I have my first weigh in. Ive had a shake for brekkie, a soup for lunch, and now I've just got the bar left for rest of the day

could i be added? im starting today and need all the support i can get X

Wonder if you could get them on ebay? Will have a look around, they sound fab x

Where can you get hold of the cambridge diet ones and how much are they? On lighter life I used to use their flavourings very liberally and they didnt affect my weight loss.

Sorry just another quick question. Can anyone tell me where you get the tracker ticker from pls?

Hi there, anyone on TS use water flavourings as read somewhere they contain a few carbs that may knock you out of ketosis. I wanted to use them as read they contain fibre and thought that it might help if I have constipation. Also do you tend to lose weight even if you dont do the exercise. Its...

I'm starting to today so count me in too. Im a little excited but realistic about how challenging its going to be. Anyway onwards and upwards as they say. Now to choose a shake for breakfast......

Hey me too kazz2011. I get my packs tomorrow but cant start till sat as have food related commitments (fish and chips with family on fr- kinda like the last supper). But from sat will be good to go, so I'm right there with ya!

Just wondered how many people had done the 1st 28 days and managed to re-introduce a week of eating a normal meal instead of all total solution. Also, do you still lose during that week and is it as easy to go back to total solution after? Would love to hear anyone's experiences

Hi, what are the soups consistency like because on lighter life we used to turn our soups into tortilla chips by adding a drop of water to turn it into a paste and then spreading onto a microwavable plate and zapping for a couple of mins. The result was a a big biscuit like shape that you could...

aah thanks for that reassurance. Think Im going to take the bull by the horn and order today. Ideally would like to start saturday but I guess it depends on how long delivery takes.

Hi there, Im really keen on doing exante. I lost 4 stone on lighter life 4 years ago but then went on to have my 2nd child and put alot back on (tho not all) Since then I've tried, dukan diet, weight watchers, rosemary conley, slimming world but found i was only losing about 1lb a fortnight. I...

I started ww pp last week and really wish I'd started this week as I've been away to celebrate our 10 yr wedding anniversary. Part of me naievely thought that i could just track everything and use my 49 weekly points but after abit of red wine the tracking went out of the window and i'm pretty...

thanks. Yes I am coming off a very low carb diet but i think the weight watchers proPoints plan seems a far healthier option of doing things. I feel I am having too much saturated fat at the moment and worry what the long term implications of doing a diet like this would be. Love the support...

Hi there, just coming off a very strict low carb diet as craving chocolate so bad. I know with ww you can have abit as long as its counted in your points. With this in mind, I'm going to join next week with the propoints diet. Just wondered if this diet is working for people or is the discovery...

Thanks rosebud and others. Great advice about the steak and salad x

After only coming up to the 2nd week of my low carb diet, i've realised we are supposed to be going out for a huge family meal on saturday. Its at a traditional pub so i'm hoping there will be a carvery where i can just have meat and veg. But what about gravy? Do i have to do without? Really...

Hi, hope you dont mind me joining in with my food diary although i am on a low carb diet but not atkins. I love reading this forum for recipes and inspiration. B MiM toasted and boiled egg L prawn mayo on a bed of lettuce D minced beef burgers with spinach and m/rooms +sugar free jelly Snacks...

Just wondered if there was a limit to how many mims i can have in a day? How many are people having in general? Also are pork scratchings ok to have as an occasional treat?

Thanks, will try them tonight. Yum!

Just wondered how much splenda you put in for a mim as i have a tub of it rather than individual packets? Cant wait to try x

Hi there, I am on day 2 of my low carb diet. Not finding it too bad so far, feeling full which is good. I have tried every diet going and 3 years ago had success with lighter life but soon put half of my weight loss back on when i had my 2nd child. It was a great diet but very expensive and and...

you should definately do this! What an achievement, and like you say you get the full make over aswell x

Thanks for the encouragment. Will let you know what happens next week x

Well, had an ok sort of week. Stuck to my allowance but didnt get to do much exercise. Well went to get weighed and found I had put on a 1lb. Just thought how did this happen and it has put me on abit of a downer for this next week. I could understand putting on weight if I'd had a few extra...

ok thanks guys may try those 2 dvd's

Have just discovered a bag of iced gems is 100 calories so can now indulge in a bag on an evening if feel like something sweet. Has anyone else got any fave treats?

I have a real sweet tooth so to be honest i make sure i have iced gems (100 cals) in the house ( hidden away from my children's eyes) and pink n whites which are only 50 cals each. Shape yoghurts from danone (65 cals) do what they say on the label and keep you fuller for longer and I drink...

Hi I have to say I am really not looking forward to the exercise but just been watching the colleen nolan dvd and actually impressed at how good it looks. Does anyone recomment other dvd's or how they exercise? I need some inspiration. I have christmas in mind and a little black dress to think of.

I know what you mean! I have been doing the diet on my own since I had my baby last sept and have lost half my baby weight (coming off slowly) but I do get inspired by encouragment from other people. I have started a class near my home now and that's mainly cos I like doing the exercise in a...
