Hi KJ, with regards to the 1lb loss, my consultant always says when u start to introduce a bit more exercise, the body sometimes takes some time to adjust, so ur metabolism might take time to catch up? if that makes sense? so it can be slow for a week or a few then if u keep persevering ur...

Hello Ladies, sorry for the absence, been working all hours this weekend. On the whole I've good over the weekend, the worst being when I went out for dinner and had chicken fajitas. Lots of veg so cant be too bad, there was soured cream and cheese however id say a spoonful of each. Wish i...

well done KJ! Well I rejoined last night, and my initial WI shows that Ive put on 6lbs since I last went to SW. Which isnt too bad I guess. However this does put me at my heaviest I can remember. Therefore I am not cheating even once this week. Please feel free to point out anything I may be...

hey, Just wondering how many people find they get bloated when first on SW? Now that im back on it, and experiencing this, i recall it happening last time. Im sure it will pass, as the extra fruit/veg im eating has more fibre. in the meantime any tips? warm water with lemon/peppermint tea...

ahh that makes sense! i was thinking fibre or something was well confused! gd luck for tonight, remember sometimes people dont notice a change until wk 2, so dont be disheartened if its not what u expect!

congrats on ur loss. yes its small but its the right direction! When i did the plan last time around, I found that alot of people in my class had a 2-3 week cycle of small losses then a large one! could be due next week! keep at it, think of how nice it will be to get that next 1.5lbs!

yeh the potatoes hmm i only had bout a spoonful but very creamy. dunno the syns! However I shall be venturing to officially join tonight. Will see what their scales say. According to my home scales im 2.5lbs HEAVIER!! than i was last week. I am feeling incredibly bloated and uncomfortable...

What u mean by lf and ff??

Yup that's right! Both of us tomorrow. Will be my first wi as a member so they're scales are prob diff to my own. Therefore I'm expecting some difference to my own wi. Tonight for dinner it's tomato and veg pasta bake with low low cheese. Chicken bits too. Dauphinouse potatoes ? No clue as to...

Gd luck tonight!

Hi everyone! Just popping on to say hello. Have done SW last year but uni work got in the way. I lost about 10lbs and of course put it back on. Since then I'm fed up feeling awful when I overeat. I know im doing it, but i felt so healthy last time on SW. Of course i want to lose 2-3 stones...

yeh my packs arrived. this is now day 3. Well i have been allowing myself one meal a day. The plan was to have a healthy meal each day ie no carbs. yet that hasnt quite gone to plan!! However the way i see it, i still have consumed far less than usual so im still expecting a loss. Went...

Yes Teetie I am a bit mental, but only have a few months left and classes are only 2 days a week! Well this is officially day one. Decided to do 'mostly' working solutions. when im having to eat dinner due to going out then ill have my 400kcal dinner but if im at home then might just have a...

Hey, I'm from Irvine, but i travel to musselburgh for uni (yes im mental)!! packs arrived finally, but OH was at mine when they did and is slagging me off already, calling it a 'powder/spaceman diet'. So I can be sure that is going to be the hardest thing for me to overcome.. the disbelievers...

Julie, thanks for that, i do have a small room but I can always put it in the spare room, until i hopefully move in the spring. Teetie, it's been nearly a week for mine to come, but i did order xmas day, silly me! Good news, i got an email to say its on its way, and the tracker says its in the...

Teetie, i see your in Edinburgh, did ur order come ok? Confused: yep this is going to be my first time, and im very much looking forward to it! Was telling someone at work all about it today and i just want to get going! Well it was my mission to drink more water today, and I managed 2 pints...

Well done Teetie!! I'm jealous as I just want my shakes to arrive!! Grr. Hope u have a good day, look forward to hearing from you again.

Hi xconfusedx !! glad u have decided to say hello! I would say order as soon as you can, then they will at least go out in the next delivery available, I ordered on xmas day and not despatched yet so its unlikely ill be able to start on the 1st. I have lots of events on until the 6th Jan so...

Well I decided to email Exante to find out whats happening with deliveries due to the weather, and I got a reply today: he Interlink Depots in your area are still dealing with the back log from the previous bad weather. A new update will be posted tomorrow on the Interlink websites and we are...

Does anybody know when they start sending orders out again after the xmas break? My order is still 'processing' and nothing on the website mentions the holidays. I hope its soon, as im sure they can expect more orders in prep for the new year! Bobbi, I hope urs arrives soon! ;)

Thanks guys, It should be easy enough to avoid alcohol after the 1st week in Jan, as I've told people I'm taking at least a month off. I'm looking forward to experiment with the packs like others have been doing, ie doing them hot and with peppermint water for the choccy one! Selection box...

Yeh Joanne, it seems by reading other posts that this diet is mind over matter, once you are sure of what you want, people seem to be able to achieve this with Exante. And going by figures I have read 6lbs will be easy to get rid of! Gd luck! When are you going to get back on it? Am I right in...

Thanks you guys, I cannot wait to fit into my jeans minus the muffin top and wear nice clothes in the summer woohoo! teetie i just found this : ' Severe Weather Conditions: We are currently unable to send parcels to Scotland or to Newcastle. These locations are still experiencing a week...

Hi everyone! after reading this forum since the start of December I've decided Exante is worth a shot for me! I have ordered a weeks supply which i hope to start on 2 Jan. (Get paid on the 7th so ill order 4 wk pack then!). However I'm going away for a night on the 5th Jan so unsure if just to...
