Hey Kirsty if I'm honest if I used more than 15 of my weeklies I would hardly lose... I just wrote the weeklies off and that's what my organiser said to do ... Just use them when life happens is what she told us... But my Sis in law would use all hers plus her activity points and still get good...

Hey just read up on your diary LW! Just wanted to add my opinion on the diet in .., ketosis isn't mentioned anywhere on the exante leaflet/website it's just a calorie deficit programme that stops you having to make food choices... Where you are bound to lose weight as you are well under your...

Watching Lorraine and they are saying diets are stupid and dont work... Well okay if you finish your diet and go back to eating the way you were before of course your gonna pile on the lbs! But if you eat sensibly and 80% healthy 20% naughty you will be alright... I know that I am always going...

Hey thanks Sarah for this post! I've bought some dr pepper zero but am gonna give bouillon a miss from now on... (unless desperate) as I put on a lb today and I think it's due to water retention I had 2 cups of it yesterday! I'm sure niennor warned me about that so I'm gonna leave it now! Lol...

I dunno why it's Soo much harder this time... Yeah I think I was more distracted I was out trying on clothes most days I think I'm gonna jump in the shower then head out n do something ... Go find something that's a size 12 to get into! That will keep me going I hope! ... I'm absolutely going to...

It would have been a bigger list but my bubba started crying lol

I dunno what's happened to me. All I can think about is food... Before I had the weekend off it was clothes/sizes how I will look in the summer and on holiday wearing skirts and shorts and self tanning and looking like a hot mama... Now it's mcdonalds, Indian food, takeaways, toast ... I'm...

Thanks for all your understanding messages ... Probably shouldn't have started exante with a holiday so close...wasn't expecting it to be as stressful and hard work as it turned out to be! But I'm glad I did as any weight I have put on I've earned already (my way of making it seem better) I...

Huff! :( I screwed up! Had a super stressful 3.5 hour that turned into 8 hour journey to Weymouth and then got the shakes n felt very poorly! Ending in a snickers bar! I just then thought beens as I'm on holiday with my manic depressive mum trying to get back into ketosis is going to be...

I had this day 6 really bad! Lol! It's actually gotten better today although I've sat in my huge dressing gown most of the day lol! Just been a housework day! Lol :)

Wow niennor! That's amazing you kept it quiet for so long lol! I'm getting hunger pangs today?! I haven't had anything to knock me out of keto! Nothing extra to my 2 shakes so far today... Maybe I haven't drank enough water! That must be what it is! I'm finding the water intake quite...

I just got shakes and bars this time :) will do again if I decide to do it for another month... Probably will! :) Your doing fab-u-lous!!! X

Yeah I kinda got this reaction from my mum! And she seems to have every intention of making me break it this weekend! Tough tits I will not be! Hubby would rather me do this short term then listen to me whine on and on about points lol! especially as it's gonna take like a year plus with WW to...

Belle well done you on getting into the 14's! Amazing stuff! That day by day theory Is exactly how I try and see it... Even thinking a week ahead scares me ... The thought of not eating anything other than the plan is daunting! I know I've only been doing this for a week but everytime I get in...

I have a little routine going with my shakes as I detest the strawberry flavour Day 1 Strawberry Chocolate Toffee nut and raisin bar Day 2 Vanilla Banana Chocolate and orange bar I'm on my fourth rotation of this as I'm on day 8 woop lol! I won't run out of my favourites and be left with...

My least favourite shake is the strawberry one also, it'd usually my fave flavour of anything but it's Soo far from strawberry that's why I think I don't like it ... But since I started I've ordered them so that I wont be left with anything minging! I just endure the one once every two days! I...

Thankyou belle! I never thought I would be here!! It wasn't so long ago that 16.4 came up on my scales and it was time to do something! To see the 12's is fantastic! Keep doing what your doing and you will get where you need to be!! :) :D it's pleasing to see the numbers falling isn't it!! :D
