Woohoo on the 3lbs - well done Lisa!

Huge congrats Arlene on such a fab first week (and of course the rest of you too!!) Have had no broadband at home for a while (not quite so good when you run an online business from home LOL!) so apologies for the quietness but all is still going well here and last Friday showed a nice loss...

Hun emailed you back earlier (sorry not been online over the weekend) Sometimes I think the best way of seeing the loss is the mirror/your clothes tbh, I'm all ugh and bloaty today yet when I put on the wrong pair of jeans, a pair that just 2 weeks ago I had to be crowbar-ed into and were so...

Welcome from me too and more good luck vibes :)

Aw hun - sounds like one of those days and you need lots of these :hug99::hug99::hug99::hug99::hug99::hug99: You will get down to what you want sweetie - you had a great first week loss and I'm sure by your next weigh in the scales will show you more lbs off...otherwise we will have to give...

Oooo - love my gardening!! This is the first year I have bothered much in this house (despite being here for 3 years!) and me and the little ones have a a patio full of a rainbow of pots :) I feel a trip to buy more this weekend though as I have a mini greenhouse full of fuschia's that need...

Wow - congrats on yet another great week hun!!

I like all the shakes and the bars - fav would have to be Vanilla shake though. Soups, hmm, sorry Mark, but Tomato and Basil is the worst :jelous:

Honkity honk honk (and ooo, I can survive PMT without chocolate or commiting homicide hehehehe)

Thentherewasme (annoyingly long username!) - Nyree :)

Honking for all the days I have missed whilst not on here...sorry blue team, this Pink lady isn't going to cave ;)

LOL yes, which is why I apologised if it sounded defensive but as I said it's something that has been raised with me previously (esp as all my friends and the majority of those I know are long term breastfeeders). Unfortunately most people assume any mention of BF means a small baby, generally...

14lbs in a stone....I normally work in KG (get me being all modern and metric!) but it's nicer to see a 2.2lb loss than a 1 kg loss LOL Might be the same weight overall but the lbs seem more of an achievement :D

Ack - knew I should not have mentioned BF :( My youngest is 2 in a week, so whilst yes, I still BF him a couple of times during the day/night it is by no means his sole source of nutrition and it is stated on the Exante contra-indications so I have researched whether it was suitable before...

Welcome welcome welcome - I hope you find this little corner of the forum a huge help and support during your Exante journey :D

Yay keep smiling hun! Darn periods eh! Aunty Flo is due a visit here in the next few days and apparently the husbeast is thinking of moving out as the thought of me with no chocolate whilst a hormonal homicidal moo-bag is not appealing :8855:

With my first week loss...a rather nice 13lbs :) makes the total... 198.6lbs :talk017:

Wow Mark - a fab difference - well done!!!!!

Blimey a challange!! Works as motivation for me - can't be letting you lot down!! :party0011: Go Team Pink :party0011:

Wooo hooo!! Fantastic Shorty!! And 3 inches off your waist :eek: no wonder those jeans are falling down ;)

6lbs is fab though hun - you don't have as much to lose as alot of us so your losses are going to be less anyway!! And remember it's an average of a stone a month and you are almost halfway there in just a week!! Well done you!! And yup, us Pink Team have the ol' hormones we can blame as well...

Put that stick down Dietkitty!! The rest of the lovely group have given you the best advise....tis just a teeny tiny ickle blip in a much much bigger picture. It will only undo all your good work if *you* let it knock you off track. So, get that bottle in the recycling, glug a big glass of...

So folks, throw your best tips at me for upping my fluid intake. I have always been notoriously bad at remembering to drink enough :o (and that's as a mum who has been breastfeeding for the last 5 and a half years and so should know a heck of a lot better!) Hints, tips and advise please...

Well done for resisting the sugary temptation. Doughnuts = blah!! (brownies on the other hand....come to mama :o Noooo, stay away and leave me alone...evil brownies, my arch enemy in square chocolatey form!!)

You'll be fab,Priya and I bet those scales will show you a happy loss. Urgh yeah, hate that watery gluggy tummy feeling :rolleyes: I have to admit I am awful for drinking and must try harder!! And hey - you are only down the road from me in Leicester so a big *wave*!!

And Mark - you are looking amazing - huge huge congrats at such a huge achievement so far!

Oh Shorty :grouphugg:I could have written that word for word. I have three gorgeous children and yet the only photos of me I have cropped to nothing. I actually sat transferring 2000 photos from my laptop to a backup drive today and all those memories and I'm not in them iyswim. I recently...

Haha no, choccy cake is banned and I shall not give into it's luring temptation of gorgeous brown lushiness!! I am however beating myself up as I tasted dinner whilst I was cooking without even thinking - only a mouthful of chicken breast and a small piece of carrot followed by a huge DOH DOH...

I agree with the wonderfulness of you all! Am having a blah evening, down and teary and usually I would be drowning my sorrows with chocolate or cake, then be annoyed at myself and beat myself up, followed by more cake....:sigh:....however, just a quick log in here and read how motivated and...

Hi and Welcome mojobrad :)

Hi Rose, Each day seems to get easier. Tomorrow is my first week weigh in and I'm tending to look at things in small steps. If I'm really hungry I console myself with the fact that add a meal week is never *that* far away LOL

I think you need a :winner: for resisting that temptation!! Well done!!

:gen126: It's great that we can share the downs as well as the ups though. Well done for staying strong!!

Woohooo for all us winners!! And with this forum we might be losing the lbs (and good riddance to 'em!) but we're gaining friends to support us during and no doubt after our journey, whether that journey is trying to lose one stone or ten. Lets face it - we all are fab just for being here and...

Another honk :D

Mark & Shorty - you both give the best advise :worthy:

LOL I thought it may be you last night hun but didn't want to ask!! Yep, tis me - although am skiving from my modding duties over on NM atm :o

Good luck to both of you - look forward to following your success!! You can do it :)

Woohoo and well done for getting through Day 2 :)

LOL motivated in the mornings but find evenings hard....making homemade pizza with the little ones and have a rather bad rumbly in my tumbly :sigh: Ack well, coming on here always helps when I am feeling the pressure (thanks guys!)

Scales are showing a 10.6lb loss this morning (and why, oh why am I weighing myself daily?! Bah will resist temptation until my 1st week weigh in on Friday morning now) so am still happy!! I am really surprised that I am not craving sugar - I had a huge issues with cakes/biscuits and chocolate...

(((((hugs))))) But please don't be so hard in yourself - that 2lbs is still 2lbs gone!! And just look at your ticker - over a third of your goal achieved already :) Well done on losing again this week hun!

I've had the odd few comments of it being faddy, unhealthy or the funniest "the easy option". Hmmmm, yep, right!! The main consensus was that if you eat a nice calorie controlled diet and excercise then you will lose any weight you want to off and if you didn't lose weight that way you were...

I found the tomato and basil was much better tarted up :) Actually enjoyable hehe Turned my chocolate shake into a faux Mocha the other day which was also nice - although will need to tweak it a bit to get it even better next time!

Well done for getting through Day 1 (((())))

A big ol' honk from me as well :)

Night night and will keep everything crossed that the scales show you a nice loss tomorrow x Ooo and yep to feet shrinking....I lost a few stone way back when I was 18/19 and went down from a Sz 7 to a Sz 5.5/6. Have noticed of late that I'm creeping back into a Sz 7 shoe again and can no...

Hmm it does a bit doesn't it - Nyree is a bit less of a mouthful :D

LOL I have to admit - DH was meant to start on Friday with me. He is a faddy eater as it is so thought he *may* struggle. He moaned about the shake in the morning, hated his bar at work...but the Tomato & Basil soup tipped him over the edge!! He didn't even manage more than a spoonful...

Woot!! What an inspiration - well done Mark!!

Wow - what a great thread to track how well everyone is doing - well done to you all!!

Aw thanks for the warm welcome :) (and PMP that I don't recognise my own username on here - that'll teach me for using a different one to my usual!) I have to say it was definately reading here that persuaded me that I could give it a go. I know someone who has lost huge amounts on Exante and...

I thought I should finally stop lurking and say Hi! I've been reading for the last few weeks and started Exante Total on Friday. Did actually eat (and not nice healthy stuff either!) on Saturday night to celebrate a bit of good news with DH...figured it was better to have that takeaway that...
