thanks JulieH333! I was much better the next day!

hi all - I've been on CD for weeks now, so this is a nasty surprise - I am incredibly dizzy today, which wouldn't really be a problem (well, it feels a bit weird!) but I have to work this evening and concentrate. Any tips??

yeah, well, it served me right for taking my eye off it! Seriously impressive bang though!

Dang. My porridge just exploded. Not a sentence I ever thought I would write....

Thanks to all of you! Oh Deezer - the idea of me starting a period. Not for a long time, pet! I know, I know - its just me...thanks for the positive messages - And good luck to us all!

I had a great two weeks on SS and dropped 11lbs - but now my weight is climbing???? I've gained 2lbs in two days !!! WHHHAATTT??? How can this be? Goes without saying there is no cheating here - in the last few days I've introduced green veggies with evening meal - 200 g of cabbage and leek, for...

Hi all! Very interested to read the S&S 'reviews' on here. I lost 28 lbs with CD earlier this year - took my eye off the ball (as you do) and 12lbs of flab somehow slithered back! Anyway, I've ordered the S&S sample pack - have to admit, I was a bit sceptical, but really, really reassured to...

hey fellow future skinny! I'm on day 17. Things will be tough, but BUT - I can't stress this enough- it gets easier! For one thing, it's a curious fact, but simply by being on this diet, I find it easier to just say no to stuff. If I'm offered a bun, a cake, or esp, an alcoholic drink, I find I...

SPLENDID !!! Y'see, we can do this! What a first WI - congratulations!

Oh good sazzledazzle-gal, so glad you feel better. Yup, I am feeling well... normal, I guess, but a bit down at the thought of a long, boring Friday night drinking MORE water. But then it was the chinese takeaway, the gin and tonic and the white wine that put me in this state.....! Let me...

Hi Sazzledazzle! Boring advice I know, but I think its the water thing again. Come on girlfriend, you can do this! I admit i took a paracetemol and that eased the worst of the headache, could work for you. Thinking of you!

Hi KatieKaye! Oh, child, thank you so much for suggesting pregnancy! At my age that would take a miracle or a dodgy Eastern European clinic... I feel much better today - I think you were on the right track though. I went for a very long walk, and that might not have been the good idea I thought...

Hi all - just to start, this is day 10, and my first WI I've lost 10 pounds!! So, you'd think all would be ok, but today I am really shaky, weak and feel horribly dizzy - twice today I thought I'd pass out (once in Starbucks, which is probably something they wouldn't approve of...) I'm...

fab! Sounds like the very thing - I'll get some tomorrow. Just had my chocolate ready mixed - the tetra? Really nice. Oh, and more herbal tea, whilst watching 'Bridezillas'! Thanks again

hi all, newbie here - I'm on day 3 of 100%. I had a horrible day yesterday, but today is eerily normal - aside from not being able to get out of loo, that is! Just one thing, though, I'm looking for a suitable savoury hot drink? I have some lovely herbal teas, but is there anything anyone can...

Oh my, thank you so much for all this help and support, and advice. re: curry in the soups - made a mistake the other day and put Dave's Insanity sauce into the Tomato And Basil. I practically had to sellotape the duvet down. re: exercise, that's my normal workout, I usually do more...

You go Isis!! How proud you must feel of yourself to have taken the right steps and made this work for you - I'm proud of you and we haven't even met! I always have reservations about bariatric surgery. It's not that I think it's cheating or anything, it's just I think it's so terribly final -...

thanks everyone. I'll keep on keeping on, as they say! Off to have my mushroom soup now!

Thanks, Babystar - hey - hows the weather across in Fife? I could stand at Newhaven and we could wave to each other!

yesterday full on exante, and a full workout at the gym (20 mins on the treadclimber, 15 on the crosstrainer, 15 mins weights and abs) I've gained 2lb, overnight. I know weighing every day is a Bad Thing, but I used it before, and successfully. I've got a set of digital scales, and even the...

to wear what I want to and not what I have to !

ok, well, that all makes me feel so much better. 1st day on exante and I had a good weight loss, and it was a busy day, so I was sort of distracted, you know what I mean? I stuck to my guns even though I fell blergh! Second day, not so busy, pretty intense to tick to diet, but felt mush better...

I think that's how it's spelled! Sorry, but that's what I think I'm turning into.... Is weighing once a day a bad thing?

tell me, just out of interest, can you drink Bovril on Exante?

Carly. Her diet does not involve pizza. She's choosing pizza and deluding herself. And I don't know how to say this without being a bit nasty to your friend - she's probably jealous that you've taken these brave steps. Remember the hipsters and forget the sniping friends - sooooooo sending...

I am on the case, Mr M. Just spotted other posting...

Carly babe - how you doing today? Are you and I still Queen Of The Strops!? suze

wooowoww! Carly! Now THAT'S stropping! I feel as if I have just witnessed a masterclass!

Hey Carly82, just found this from the other thread - c'mon sweetie. I know it's horrible to feel horrible, but think of the outcome! I've just glanced at a magazine with a pair of trousers and a fabulous top I'd love to get into. What's your dream outfit?

Carly82. How dare you be more dramatic than me. I think I'll strop off in an even more dramatic manner. OR we could both turn into the Exante Drama Queens, and then NOBODY could be more dramatic than us!

I don't think it's a problem with Exante - it's me being disorganised! I have to learn to do this right, and eat when I'm supposed to!

Swallowing down water as I type, Mr M, and you have spotted yes, I've forgotten to have the second pack for lunch (one of those days....) C'mon, Carly82, we can do this! sorry for getting dramatic. Lor, I've had worse hangovers!

hi everyone - had a strawberry shake for breakfast, but now feeling incredibly sick and dizzy.....is this normal? Any advice?

OHMYGAAWDDDD!! I had no idea I'd upset Markanderl!! i won't do that again! You were and are sweet and helpful, I just meant I'd forgotten that was the sticky bit, etc. I've never really used a forum like this before. And so many thanks for all your lovely messages - the door bell has just rung...

By all means, markanderl, move away - I feel like a bit of a prat! Thanks for your help!

right all - I have just ordered my first weeks supply. I thought I'd do that, see how it goes and then move up to the four week supply. To give you background. I hate it when I look like this. My weight makes me totally despair, and I'm tired of crying behind closed doors. I am a chaotic...

Hi markanderl! thanks for your advice - there's so little to tell about me, it's hardly worth the intro! uuuuummmmmm what's a 'scaleoholic'??

hi - just about to start exante. Lost about 2 stone a few years ago, and I've been watching it horribly creep back!!!!! I've never done VLCD before - what would you say the worst things are for me to look out for? I understand I could feel a bit yuck?

Hi ! Love the vibe on this site! I'm a porky little 50+ mum of two. I managed to loose over two stone a few years ago, and I've watched in increasing panic as it just keeps on coming back... I want to loose that creeping stone, and maybe a bit more. I was thinking of using Exante - does...
