Stick with it. days 3/4 are the hardest as your body is fighting for carbs. after you break that your onto a winner. I find that after a couple of weeks you sometimes feel tired but most of the time there is a slight euphoric feeling. Iv done this about 3 years ago for 3 months and my losses...

Week 3 weigh in was a 5lb loss. Thats a couple 5 lbs loss' on the trot now, fairly happy with that. Im pretty sure my water levels are all over the place aswell as iv been working crazy hours of late with lots of nightshifts :(

As above, come out of ketosis and try and stick to vodka and light spirits as they dont have as much carb content. Dont even attempt to have alcohol whilst in ketosis as it dangerous.

Iv been awake all night, however i am on nightshift so i suppose im meant too ;)

Hi, yes im a guy, and i know guys tend to loose quicker than ladies. With regards to the gym work im doing it for fitness more than anything else, i do a little resistance mainly core work and a steady go on the treadmill/cross trainer. i also swim. Im not going mad in the gym though, nice and...

Hello people, Just a quick report on my S&S journey so far. I am not new to VLCD i done 12 weeks of exante way back in march 2010 and lost 75 lbs. however here i am 30 odd months later and put a fair bit back on. I decided to try S&S for the variety and have a 6 week purge before xmas. so...

My story so far, Last march i started exante total solution and done it 100% for 12 weeks, i went from 18st 13lbs to 13st 8lbs in that time without any problems at all. Once i came off the total solution i seemed to yo-yo between 13st10lbs and 14st just with normal eating etc. I stayed...

It does look smaller, I noticed it more in the second month to be honest, and for some reason the stomach is the last place for it to go and first place to put on which is very annoying. but keep up the good work, and keep a picture diary as you wont believe the difference a few weeks can make.

Stick with it, it works. I found that one week i have a biggish loss and the week after fairly small but and so on.

Im sure if you order before 1pm you get them the next day.

Thats fantastic keep up the good work

I done 12 weeks last time without cheating and without the add a meall i lost 76 lbs in that time. I am now back on it again to get even lower than before and because i have put a bit of weight back on over xmas. If you stick with it, exante TS works and fast and its not as hard as you think.

Brilliant effort, keep up the good work

You would be surprised how much you dont miss food once your into ketosis.

I know exactly what you mean iv done the same on quite a few occasions. I just write it off and carry on with the 3 the next day. In the grand scheme of things i doubt it would make that much difference as long as its not a regular occurrence.

All i have are 3 shakes a day and plenty of water. I dont particularly like the soups and i find the bars too dry, but love the shakes.

Cheers people. This happened last time aswell but after a that my losses levelled out to an average of 5-7 lbs a week so id be happy with something similar.

Wow thats an amazing loss. Keep up the good work

Thats the weigh in for week 2 and as expected a lot smaller loss than last week with my body playing catch up. 3 Lbs down im expecting a good 5 or 6 lbs a week average from now on if the last time is anything to go by.

Congratulations thats great news and a great loss so quick.

Whats the prize?

The last time around i was cycling to work everyday on TS which was about 12 miles, and i found that for the first 2 weeks i never had that much strength/stamina but after a couple of weeks this started to improve as the body settles down to the new way of being fuelled. So my advice on personal...

Congrats, thats a good loss and its always hard when there is food on the go.

To be honest id have kicked myself iv i had broke. The thought of whats the point in doing what iv done so far to blow it, came to mind

just into day 11 now of the restart and been 100%... however iv had a hard couple of days which i never experienced last time. Iv been very tempted to scoff on a couple of occasions. The 1st being i was visiting my parents and i was asked to collect a takeaway for them, the smell more than...

I woulnt trust the wii fit scales anyway, but i can only say what everyone else has said. The last time i done this diet i done a little exeriment, i needed to go to the loo so i weighed before and after and there was a 4lb difference just in that space of time. Morning is best time to weigh as...

I managed 12 weeks (84 days) last year on Exante without cheating. I am now entering day 10 on my restart. I wont need to stay on it aslong this time though as im a lot lighter than when i started last time.

Sorry to disappoint

are not.....lol

Not anymore

Wow mini milks are amazing, i'll have to try that

not anymore ;)

What do i win??

I agree SammyE if hadnt have taken pics last time i wouldnt have noticed the difference too much. Now what i did enjoy was all the compliments i was getting from people i hadnt seen for a while, and im sure it'l be the same for you's all :)

The 1st time i done exante my 1st week loss was 12lbs, so far this time iv had a sneaky weigh in at day 6 and im 14 lbs down. so alls good :)

I used to cycle into my work everyday which was about 12 miles and i found that exercising actually took my mind off anything else, then again it was hardly a hard work out. I suppose it depends how much exercise you are actually doing, if you are over doing it then the body gets its energy...

You managed it last time mark and you can do the same again.

You done well, if that was me once and had touched any food id have eaten loads so congrats. Class it as a wee treat for your sons birthday an you can get back to 100% from now on with more determination

Cheers, Kae just stick with it, it does work wonders and is fairly easy to do once you are in the zone Getting there, when i finished the last time i was actually eating sensibly and my weight although id gained about 7 lbs in the 1st month i was steady for a good couple of months after that...

Well this time Im sure you'll manage just fine, I was ok for the first few months after but soon i started gaining again went from 13st 8 managed to catch myself at 16 st 6 so im even more determined this time to re-introduce food properly, hopefully you'll manage the same

Welcome back mark, im doing the same having a re-start. Im sure you'll manage just fine.

That will be the ketones. Drink plenty of water

Having been on the Exante total solution last year i lost a grand total of 76 lbs in 12 weeks finishing the diet in the summer 2010 weighing 190 lbs. However initially i was keeping the weight off quite easily but as the winter came closer and the parties started iv put quite a bit back on. So...

well im back on TS after a break of 5 weeks which included a few weekend drinking sessions at festivals, i gained 3 lbs in the month back on food and i never introduced myself as i should have done, however im nearly through my first week back and rapidly lost weight again which is pleasing as...

Hi kelly, keep up the good work, believe me stick with it and you will see results.

Thanks for the comments, even my friends who i havent seen for a few weeks are noticing the difference. That alone makes it all worthwhile.

Keep up the good work, by the time you get to week 5 or 6 you'll see how much its worth it. I had the same problem as yourself too going to a local event every week and not having any of the free food on offer, still when youve turned it down and gone home without munching you get a real buzz...

keep it up mark, you keep on shrinking without realising.

Right thats the 1st week back on food almost completed, i';ll get my weigh in tomorrow so far when iv had a quick peak iv only put 1 lb back on however i reckon when i weigh myself in the morning i'l be the same as last week, iv not been as good as i would have liked to have been but i certainly...

A couple of days on meals and my weight has pretty much stayed the same which im happy with, i thought i would have put some back on as my body re-adjusted but it hasn't so far. and please stick with it if you have only just started it works trust me, i'll have to dig out some before and after...

I havent really been updating to much of late, been a tad too busy with work etc however i felt it important to update everyone after 12 weeks and hopefully give those just starting the journey some hope and confidence. At 1st my weight loss was rapid although my physical size seemed to be...

Only 3lbs for me this week, the loss is slowing down quite a bit however i have noticed a difference in physical size and i have really increased my exercise of late. maybe putting a bit of muscle mass on at the same time, i dont know. Yambabe - 10lbs - 7.5lbs to go - 2.5lbs lost Markyboy...

For me this month i want to go for another 18lbs, im really going to up my exercise routine. I have a festival on the weekend of the 9th july and would really like to get another load of weight off for that, which im expecting to put some back on at. so 18lbs again for me this month

Well done people on you losses for this month, another good weigh in for me again. Im sure it must start to slow down soon. Yummy101 - 14lbs - 5lbs to go - 9lbs lost Princess-of-Power - 14lbs - 0lbs to go - 14.4 lost Podge61 - 14lbs - 6lbs to go - 8lbs lost Deedee1 - 7lbs - 4.2lbs to go...

I used to love the thai chicken soup at first but now cant stand it or any of the soups, i just have 3 shakes a day and it seems to be working a treat.

Well had a busy last couple of weeks, done plenty of cycling aswell. This week i weighed in at 229lbs which makes the total loss to 37lbs now in 5 weeks :D starting to notice a big difference in my size now, and other people are starting to notice which is good.

3 for me aswell, i struggle to even have the 3 as im not hungry at all either.

congratulations well done, it certainly does work.

Just keep at it, and like everyone else has said one day at a time.

Great result, keep up the good work

Primark for cheap gear ;) and best way to sell old clothes is probably at a car boot sale

nice one keep up the good work.

I have a semi active job and have always one a bit of hillwaking but i am still quite unfit compared to what i used to be. I find that if you take it fairly easy then its great and makes me feel even better, however push it and the lightheadedness rears its head.

Well thats 3 weeks done and fully 100% which has surprised me more than anything and a massive 8lb weight loss this week. I have been doing a lot of exercise though and cycling to and from work which is a 13 mile round trip with some nasty hills. so in 3 weeks thats me lost a grand total...

congratulations, keep up the good work, my week 3 weigh in is tomorrow.

Im an electrical engineer, basically what i do is, sit in a workshop doing home jobs for myself and attending breakdowns in a factory trying to repair broken machinery as quickly as possible. bit boring at times but the pay and holidays are worth it.

Well id say i was kind of new to the diet thingy, but for some reason i havent struggled and my will power is garbage usually so no idea whats going on. iv also kept a diary of what iv felt like on every day and after a week any hunger disappeared, so it pays to stick with it :)

Water, water and water is the key...It fills you up nicely.

I cant say iv struggled at all with the TS but after a week i had no hunger what so ever, to the extent where im having to force myself to eat the packs....just stick with it and you'll soon be ok. Im sure it takes 48-72 hours for your body to use up its carb stores and after that changes to...

Been lurking on here for a wee while and decided to take the plunge with exante. I am currently on my 17th day and starting to see some real results. week 1 i lost 12lbs, week 2 i lost 3 lbs but the real difference i have noticed is in inch loss. I cant say i have struggled, if anything...
