Hello Everyone, Hopefully some of you remember me from a few months back (where has this year gone!! :eek:). Its good to see so many newbies on here also though! :D I left exante a few months back after trying to do SW, worked really well for a while although I didnt go to the groups as didnt...

I have been doing a lot of thinking over the last fews days and while I love VLCDs and think they are very healthy and fast weight loss..my problem has never been "dieting". I need to change my lifestyle completely and so to do that I have decided to do Slimming World (mainly because I found out...

You tell those scales Mark!! :) It is difficult, but try not to weigh yourself every day (says she who sometimes weighs twice a day! :o) I have set myself a challenge of not setting one toe on the scales until my weigh day on Tuesday! :eek:

Thanks for the support all! :D Back to it today! Wish me luck!! :)

Sandy, Please moan away...thats what these forums and us are for! Well done on getting back on the wagon, that is amazing! Wish I could say the same, I havent as yet, but plan to today!! :D Mayve have a nice long soak in the bath or if the weather is nice some sunbathing and "ME" time!! Help...

I lost my frame of mind....:cry:If anyone finds it or has one to spare please send it to me! Couldnt do it yesterday, although some how still managed to lose 0.5lbs :eek:..not quite sure how though!! :o

Wow 15lbs is amazing!! Oh how it must be nice to be male...:rolleyes::D

Hey! Yeah I started on 8th June, was going really well until I went to Germany to visit a friend..:rolleyes:..hehe...back to it this week though!! Have lost 3lbs overall so far!! :)

Well Done, 2lbs is 2lbs...your first 2weeks were excellent losses and the weight loss normally slows in the second, third or sometimes 4th week so I am guessing yours is just deciding to do it in the 3rd week. You have still lost 17lbs in 3weeks!!! :eek: I know exante dont recommend it, but...

Well Done Isis - thats amazing!!! I am back to it today! :D Looking forward to it (Did I just say that?? )

:8855:hehe...cheating on your shakes, how could you! :p Wow that is an amazing weight loss, well done you! Just look at how much your BMI has come down! :D

To my surprise I have actually lost 3lbs over the course of last week. So didnt put ALL the weight back on!! :) I have decided to nickname it my preperation week and Day One starts today!! :D Hope everyone else is getting on OK!

:8855:For some reason I imagined you with a crystal ball then.....

Hehehe...Lol to the comment about your OH! Well Done Sorus - thats amazing! You did really well!! :)

If you feel like you have to eat...go for meat (preferably chicken) and green salad/green veg. Stay away from the carbs!! Goodluck..You will get a little booklet with your bumper back, which isnt the most informative of things in the world, but it does give you a couple of ideas meal wise!

Back from Germany now...tomorrow is a new day and a new start for me!!! :) Wish me luck..here is to another three days of headaches!!! arrrgghh!!!

I have done LL, CD and now Exante and personally I prefer exante. I find the shakes much more filling, thicker and creamier! There is slightly more calories which for me who works a lot is better and healthier but provides the same weight loss! Everyone is different though and you need to find...

Well Done Andrea....That is fantastic!!!! :D

Hi, The water safety levels depends on your weight, height, age, sex etc (the usual). Im like u and can drink two litres of water when I am not dieting. If this is the case your body is used to the water and can take more. Because I am tall, I have been known to have 6litres a day and its been...

Thanks everyone for your words of support and encouragement. Isis you are right, friends are adorable but annoying when it comes to diets too. They mean well, but often it doesnt turn out to be right! My friend is great, she understands a weight problem as has one herself and likes me for me...

Struggling now.... Well my plan didnt quite go the way I expected. I had a shake this morning for brekkie and a bar for lunch but we have been visiting lots of my friends family who wanted to see me and everyone of them produced cake!!! :eek: All I have been saying is NO all day long, felt...

Awwww Sandy, we have all had a blip after a disappointment at one time or another. Do not weigh yourself this morning, any weight gain will not be fat, it will just be water and glycogen and will be gone by the end of today if u stick 100% to the diet. Focus on why you are doing this and do not...

Oh and its Stuttgart :)

Maggie u have done amazingly well and well done for resisting. :D Right I have had my day of fun but surprisingly I have not had the urge to binge, I have eaten yes, I have had treats but in a "normal" way. Normally when I havent eaten for a few days I turn into the green eyed monstor and eat...

Dont be disheartened Sandy - the second week is always a bit of a let down as the first week is so good it almost puts our minds into a hope that its going to be 10lbs+ every week. A 1lb is a 1lb at the end of the day, its one 1lb closer to your goal and its better than being a 1lb heavier...

*Runs and hides from Yambabe* Well stepping off a plane into Germany is like a curse for me and it generally comes with the attitude of stuff the diet..:break_diet:im eating...however its not all bad..tonight I have had one meal and couldnt eat all of it anyway as was full after a few mouthfuls...

Habby Birthday - hope u had a wonderful evening!!! :)

What you could do is have a low carb brekkie and then when the packs arrive start on the packs - youll at least have half a day under your belt then!:D I understand if you cant do that - I couldnt and its a habit I will aim to change in the future..:o Have you checked your email -the...

Does anyone else find that being on exante helps them to sleep better. For the past few months I have gown increasingly more tired due to not sleeping well at night...waking up two-three times, coupled with 50-60hours at work with 15hr shifts and you have a green eyed monstor!! :8855: The last...

Hi Kelly!! Welcome Welcome!! There are lots of people in your situation here, including myself. I did Cambridge last year - lost 5stone and put almost 4stone back on!!! I am now on my 4th day of exante and the products are soooo much tastier than Cambridge. The shakes are creamier and...

Morning Everyone!!! I was looking through some of my gym leaflets last night and had completely forgotten that they do Body Balance and Body Bump (Including many other Body workouts!). Body Balance is like Tai Chi and Yoga etc and Body Pump is pumping weights to music so a great resistance...

Exante suggest 20mins daily. I think that if you are doing light exercise it helps, but if you go into burning 1000calories daily sweating it out in the gym..it may be more of a disadvantage than advantage. I think its about getting the balance right. Listen to your body, if its tired stop..dont...

Awww Isis, just read it hun - you poor thing!!! If ever you get to the point of passing out please have some chicken or something..you will still remain in ketosis and I would rather have you alive and well...than in ketosis and dead... Obviously the aim is to stick 100% to TFR but in some...

Wow, thats some walking!! :eek: I will have the same issue as you later this year as I have signed upto a Three Peaks Challenge and they recommend a carb-fest two days before you go!!! :eek::break_diet: I am not entirely sure what I will be doing this but I can tell you what I did last year...

Im only half way through day 3 and I am already getting my energy back. Its amazing! :D I have only just had my first "meal" of the day - the choc orange bars (I am never going to tire of those..have I told you how nice they are??....YES I can hear you all shouting!! :p) I have control of my...

Welcome! SW is a fantastic diet, I am thinking of doing that one when I have lost the bulk of my weight on exante. Focusing on little steps at a time is very important so well done! It may seem a lot right now, but in a couple of months you will be posting with wonderful losses and will feel...

Welcome Welcome! This wonderful lot will keep you on track, watchout for Yambabe, a fantastic poster and very motivational!! If it does mean getting the stick out once in a while..hehe :D Thats interesting, I found the LL people not very nice either, when I did it a few years back - only...

Welcome Gingergiant, There are plenty of people here in the same position as you. Like you I have done LL in the past (4weeks) and I did CD for 15weeks!! But alas I have put most of the weight back on. But as someone else said to me (sorry cant remember who it was now!!) think of the previous...

To be Healthy To have more Energy Im Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro for charity in October 2010 and would like to get to the top without needing CPR! I would like to join the RAF reserves To look good To have confidence at work and in myself To stop comments being made to my eldest son about his...

Thanks once again Yambabe, you always seem to post a really motivational post just at the right time!! Gives the reader a great kick! :) Awwww Sandy (((hugs))) - hope you are feeling better today, thanks to you guys I am feeling much better today and pleased that I made it through yesterday. I...

Ok now Im confused...how can you have stuff like that for so little calories?? Ive not heard of this W8 diet? Is it a miracle or something?

Thanks Yambabe - you be a motivational speaker!! :) I will aim to stick to the diet and be as good as I can if I have to eat. Drinks arent a problem as I mostly drink water anyway and dont drink alcohol. My problem is German Food = Carb Fest..hehe so its safer to go the avoidance route if at...

Actually I think you can click on my tracker and it will take you to the site.

Hello and welcome! Like you I have done CD as well and now on Exante. I think Exante products are much nicer - thicker, creamier, tastier and fill you up for longer!!! :) As for the tracker, there is a link somewhere on this site, I dont know it off by heart unfortunately - but someone will be...

Awwww thanks all! You are all so sweet!! Feeling happier now as craving has passed...for now! lol. I know I can do this, heck if I can do CD for 12weeks and sit through one of my friends eating chinese (which is my favourite food) TWICE!! I can most definitely do this!! I have so many plans to...

Awwww hun when are you getting married? Oh please vent away on here, if it makes you feel better thats a good thing. One positive is that while Im venting on here, Im not stuffing my face with food like I normally would. I dont know what I am going to do, Mum has just given some good advice...

Im on day 2 and struggling - I have just got to the point where I have had enough. I have tried and failed so many times before and I know I need to put it behind me, but the carb withdrawel always makes my head see otherwise. I know I am thinking irrationally right now and I know its the...

Sorry need to vent - feeling crap at the moment, the major cravings have started, feel fed up of having to diet all the while and just want to be normal :cry: Dont want to feel like this anymore - I am hanging on by a very thin thread, but I am terrified for the coming weekend. I am going to...

I just get confused, lol! See I remember it being recommended on CD but then it is a fruit tea and we werent supposed to have fruit teas. As I said in the other thread though, its individual choice. If you can drink it, lose weight and be happy - go for it!

Yes earl grey is a fruit tea so no you cant have it. We can only have leaf teas.

STOP!!! I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread going where we have listed all the different reasons WHY we are losing weight. Then if we are struggling, craving food and struggling to focus we can read through the list, pick a reason why we are doing this and imagine ourselves...

wow well done for doing bootcamp!! I am a member of the gym, going to return in week 3 of exante - giving myself two weeks for my body to settle into ketosis first. I was thinking of buying some home weights to do at home as dont have much time to get to the gym with work committments at...

hehe its OK, its likely you read it before I edited, while I was typing it, noone else had posted, but by the time I posted it (which would have been next to sharons post) Isis, posted...we shall blame her instead...hehe ;):D *runs and hides* You are right though Isis, it does make you feel...

To be honest CD, never mentioned aspartame, thats something I came across when researching citric acid. Some people thing its less the citric acid and more the aspartame, but Im not sure really. Exante is based on the fact its a more natural TFR diet though and clearly states it doesnt contain...

Hurray for making it to day 2 - have I missed something, whats bootcamp?? Sounds scary! I would like to do resistance training but dont have any experience of it and dont know where to start! lol Headache is still there but much better than it was, still feeling a bit sick but I have had it...

Hurrah - well done you!!! :D

If you are really struggling Milk isnt so bad...Im an all or nothing type so have to follow things by the letter, but on the cambridge diet they had something called SS+ (SS is the equivalent to total solution), where you could have your products in the day and a glass of milk - many of which...

What Yambabe said!! That was a great post thankyou!!! The reason I have put my weight back on is I have spent the last year making excuses..only when you stop making the excuses will you have the mind to just get on with it. You CAN do it, and you WILL do it...you are not alone!! Just grit your...

Oh no Sandy!! Hope you feel better this morning!! I have woken up with a raging headache - I have had it for about 20hours now!! grr...taken some soluble paracetemol (couldnt remember if the soluble ones were OK, but the only ingredient appears to be paracetemol so I thought I would risk it)...

Heya!! Squash is generally a no no even if low calories, no added sugar because of the citric acid - this can knock you out of ketosis. Also they are likely to contain Aspartame (basically a sugar). You probably would still lose a good amount of weight as your calories would be low HOWEVER, not...

Goodluck - first few days are the hardest, but stay focused on keep sipping that water and if you are craving come on here! Yesterday was my first day and I think I was on here pretty much all day! hehe :D As the others have said for weight loss in signature and tickers :)

That soup does sound tasty isis1981. Im not brave enough to order any of the soups yet as I couldnt stand them on CD. Mind you I didnt like vanilla on CD and I love it on exante, so perhaps I will give it a try later. Just ordered some more choc orange bars as definitely having one of those a...

I think I have had about 4litres of water already, lol! Had some redbush tea earlier as well as its one I can drink black, tastes lovely and doesnt have any caffeine in it!

I have been completed converted though - just had a vanilla shake - it was absolutely divine, lovely and think and creamy! filled me right up!!! For me, it is sooo much tastier than LL or CD products. I didnt like the vanilla on CD, but its my favourite on exante so far!!! :D

Thanks for the replies both - hope you are doing well. Andrea - I dont normally get hungry in the morning, I can get to 11am without too much trouble. I actually find if I have a shake early, it makes me hungry very quickly. When I was doing CD, I would have one shake at 6am before I went to...

When does everyone have their packs during the day. I know its good to get a routine going, unfortunately my routine was based on CD which being 5ft 11 was 4 a day not 3. I am aiming for something along the lines of 11:30am, 15:30pm, 19:30pm? Although today it went a little earlier as I had...

Does anyone understand the body for life? I need to start weight training really to build some strength up for getting up Mt Kili and after reading the article about VLCDs and resistance training thought it would be a good way of starting to get fit at home. Then later in the diet I can include...

Found this interesting:- The term ex-ante (sometimes written ex ante or exante) is a neo-Latin word meaning "before the event".[1] Ex-ante is used most commonly in the commercial world, where results of a particular action, or series of actions, are forecast in advance. In other words, I...

Cut his clothes!!! hehe :D

Thanks for the help :)

Hmm OK, maybe I should cancel my work for the rest of this week! :eek: Any ideas why it happens with exante and not the others? I have tried LL and CD and didnt have headaches too much - a little in day 3 but not like the one I have now!

I have been through carb withdrawel with my previous trial attempts at a TFR ;) but I dont normally get a headache until the end of the second/third day. Bizarrely I have had a headache pretty much from the onset today and it seems to get worst when I have had the packs? :confused: Its...

Just had the choc orange bar - a little early for my second product, but I was struggling..hehe :).. but wow it is divine..absolutely yummy yummy!!! I love the texture, taste, size everything. I had only brought one of each of the bars so going to order some more! :D

no worries...you can register more than one card with paypal or just transfer money from one account to the other just before buying.

Yes register on the paypal website and also on the exante site.

Its a safe way of transferring money - you need to set up an account, most ebay users use it. Basically instead of the money going from your bank account to exante, it goes from your bank account to paypal to exante. Paypal has protection policies so for example on ebay if the item was to be...

I weigh on electronic scales as I find them more accurate and I dont have to squint to work out which bar the arrow is pointing to on normal scales...hehe...dont go for the fancy ones which measure body fat etc as they are not very accurate. Just a simple electronic scales that just weighs your...

Well Done Jenny!! :D Keep up the good work!!

Hurrah!!! Goodluck - I am going to start going back to the gym in the third week and do some light exercise! :)

Yay for all of us starting!!! Andrea - what does the bars taste like?? :) So far so good....Im staying on this forum for a couple of hours I think..hehe

If you want to do the same as CD SS - do the Total Solution on exante = 3 packs per day. The variety bumper back - gives you a months supply of soups and shakes or if you dont like soups normally, you can go for the shakes only bumper pack = a months supply of shakes only. I have ordered a...

Hello and welcome!! :) Its my first day on exante, but I did CD for 15weeks. I am not an expert for a comparison yet, but Ill try and help where I can. Basically the exante diet is pretty much the same as the cambridge diet, with a few slight differences. I have numbered each issue though to...

Yay my products have arrived and I have started the exante diet - never been so excited about not eating!! hehe... I had my first chocolate shake at 11:30am. I was pleasantly surprised..it was definitely palatable and the after taste was quite chocolatey. The initial taste reminded me of...

Thanks Isis1981! I just want my packs to arrive now! hehe...what time of day did yours come?

Ooh I like that - great idea!! Well its the morning of my start of exante! Just waiting for the products to come - I got all excited when my Nan told me a parcel had arrived, but it was my new shoes (still good though! :) )

Found this on a website:- If you'd like to calculate your BMI yourself, follow these three steps. Work out your height in metres and multiply the figure by itself. Measure your weight in kilograms Divide the weight by the height squared (ie. the answer to Q1). For example, you might be 1.6m...

Well my packs should arrive tomorrow..exciting! However at the same time I am getting very nervous :o I will be starting tomorrow regardless as I still have some CD products left, so I can use those until my packs come, but they should tomorrow! :) I know what to expect as have done it before...

I will be starting tomorrow when my packs arrive. It is my first month and I would like to lose 14lbs by the end of June. Yambabe - 10lbs - 8.75lbs to go - 1.25lbs lost Markyboy - 18lbs - 14lbs to go - 4lbs lost Yes I Can - 14lbs - 14lbs to go - 0lbs lost JLJ - 14lbs - 14lbs to go - 0lbs lost...

I must admit to having a suspicious thought, but I would have thought the doctors would have been able to tell if the injuries were caused by a bite from an animal. The mother saw the fox in the room so if she is telling the truth it was definitely a fox. Unfortunately many foxes in urban areas...

Hello, you are doing so well! :) I like the scales on top of the wardrobe, I may have to start doing that! I jump on the scales far too much..hehe :D

Hi Sandyblack - you did so well losing 11lbs in your first week! Well done! :) Thats what I was thinking - just three times a week for an hour or so, nothing heavy..and a few more hours in the sauna..hmmm...:)

Well done for the weight loss so far! You are doing really well. Please do not worry about the weight loss slowing down. Its difficult to pinpoint a reason as its different for everyone. When I did the Cambridge Diet, I had 3weeks of losing just 1/2lbs (from a previous 4/5lbs) and it can really...

I joined a gym about a year ago, went religiously for about 5weeks after initially losing 5stone and then when I started putting the weight back on stopped as was too embarrased :o and havent been since...hmmm..:sign0007: Its strange how when I am good with eating, I love going to the gym, but...

hehe...one day at a time! My seat is comfortable at the moment but my brain is being fuelled by carbs..:)...its normally 6pm-7pm I really start to struggle in the first couple of days - Im sure I grow horns..people are best to stay clear! haha

lytic

cerebral

Thanks Isis1981...carb withdrawel has got to be the worst part - once you are through though, its all plain sailing! I tend to stock up on painkillers, water and not take my purse to work so I cant buy anything from the shop! hehe :)

hehe no worries! :p application

Thanks - I have been "trying" to cut down on carbs, but I am an all or nothing girl and its soooooo difficult! hehe...oh well small steps, long journeys I suppose! :)

Hello and Welcome to the forums! I am new as well but there are lots of inspirational people here to help! Which diet are you doing? Goodluck with your quest, you will get there! :)

Hello and welcome! Dont be scared about being a newbie - I am too, lots of us are! There are lots of wonderful, inspiring people here to help us along! What diet are you doing?

Wow, you sound very similar to me! Goodluck on your journey and well done for starting a blog - I shall be reading it to see how you get on :)

Welcome! I am also new to the forums but not to diets! You will find lots of people who are in the same situation here. Some of their stories are very inspirational! Goodluck on your quest, I have heard some wonderful comments about SW! A friend of mine has lost 4stone on it! :)

Goodluck on your quest, there are lots of lovely people here. Just reading through this site is very inspiring. I am new here also! Well done on your weight loss so far! :)

Hello and welcome to the forums. There are lots of lovely people here - Im new too! Goodluck on your quest, you will able to find lots of ideas and gain inspiration from some remarkable losses if you search through the diaries etc! :)

Hello and welcome! There are lots of lovely people on this site and you will be able to get some wonderful ideas - are you just generally healthy eating or following a particular plan? :) Goodluck on your quest!

I ordered my shakes Friday at about 6pm - I guessed that they would be delivered on Tuesday (Tomorrow) - although had a secret hope they would arrive today :o - is that right, will they arrive Tuesday? Also are the Bumper packs usually on offer or is that just a current offer? Thanks - cant...

ryke Rhyme is spelt H before the Y hehe :)

Goodluck on your exante challenge and well done on the weight you have lost so far! I am staring exante as soon as my packs arrive which will hopefully be tomorrow! :D

Hehe oh good, I was beginning to wonder if I would get mine! hehe...

Goodluck! Two stone in 9weeks should be doable! :) I shall be starting tomorrow as well providing my packs arrive! Cant wait! Its given me back my motivation all this excitement!

Yay! Goodluck with starting your journey - I am still waiting for mine to come, think it will probably be tomorrow! Cant wait now! :)

One more thing Sandyblack is exactly right..I did the same thing. This time last year I had come to the end of Sole Source on Cambridge having lost a total of 5stone (12stone 10lbs)..over a mad weekend I put 11lbs on!! :o Instead of biting the bullet and getting rid of what was then just...

The MOST important thing is DO NOT WORRY!! It will just be glycogen and water weight and it will be gone as quick as it came on. It wouldnt surprise me if it went by the end of the week (Its a bit like the first week of the diet when you lose loads of weight as its mostly fluid and glycogen...

hehehe...I am the same too..oh dear...we could be here ALL night! hehe :)

perserverance

Christmas is my goal date too! Can you believe its only June and we are already thinking about Xmas? :) Having said that, last time I blinked it was Xmas! hehe :D Anyways welcome to the forums and goodluck on your quest. Please keep us updated with your progress!

hehehe...these forums can get a little addictive! I have just got in from a 15hour shift, should be getting some sleep..but instead decided to come on here. :D

Hi and welcome! Keep thinking of that LBD to keep you motivated and on the right track - what diet are you doing? Goodluck with your journey! Kids are a great way to exercise as well, they keep you running around all day! hehe..:)

Hi and welcome to the forums! I am new also and they do take some getting used to, but lots of lovely people here to help :)

Welcome to the forum! Well done on your weight loss so far, that is great! I was a little confused about the forum when I first joined, but its not too bad once you work your way around it and there are lots of lovely people here to help! :)

Hello and welcome! I have not heard of that - what is it?? Sounds good anyway! Goodluck

Hello there and welcome! Like has already been suggested keep a food diary and see where you need to cut back slightly. Perhaps take up some more exercise. Dont mean to sound picky, but unless you are asian, your target weight puts you at a BMI which is too low. I know most BMI calculators...

Hello and welcome! :) Well done on the weight you have lost so far - that is fabulous! :0clapper:

isomer edit: hehe we posted at the same time! :)

Welcome to the forums and Goodluck on your quest! :)

Welcome and Goodluck We shall be starting at the same time almost as I am just waiting for my products to arrive! :) As far as taste goes it all depends on personal taste. I have done the Cambridge Diet and couldnt stand the soups so have gone the safe route and ordered a shakes only bumper...

Well Done! :D That is fabulous - you are also no longer obese, just overweight! :):0clapper:

You have done really well to get to the 4th week - I would be very pleased to get there! Dont let a slight slip turn into an avalanche! Drink plenty of water, flush all the chocolate cake away and dont have anymore! :D As the other posters have said, think about why you are doing this? where you...

Heya, When I did The Cambridge Diet if you were male or over 5ft 8 you had to have the 4packs/day. HOWEVER Exante products have more calories in and therefore you are getting the same amount of nutrients/calories in 3packs of exante than you will with 4packs of CD (4packs on CD = 552Kcals...

Welcome! :D I am an exante newbie too - will be starting as soon as the products arrive (ordered them last night!). We are actually quite similar, I lost 5stone on The Cambridge Diet but failed to do maintenance and have put 3.5stone back on! We can do it though! :) I chose exante because a)its...

Hi Isis and xNeex Thanks for your welcome and replies! I have decided to do the exante diet after researching it last night! Put my order in and will be starting as soon as the packs arrive. Excited but nervous! Well done to both of you on your weight loss so far and goodluck with the rest...

Thanks! :) Well I put my order in last night, so its official, I am going to give Exante a go! :) A little nervous... Will start as soon as it arrives!

Thanks for your reply! I think I am going to give Exante ago! If I order now, when should I get it by? I am assuming they dont deliver on Weekends and its past 1pm so am I looking at Tuesday?? Thanks :)

Hello everyone! :) I have joined the forums in search of a meal replacement diet plan. I have done The Cambridge Weight Plan before (formerly Cambridge Diet), but feel its time to move on to get some new motivation! :o Any advice or ideas from those who are on a good meal replacement diet, I...

Hi All :) I am looking into starting a meal replacement diet, I have quite a bit to lose. I have a quick look on the exante website and it looks reasonably priced in comparison to others. How much weight can I expect to lose per month? Also do you have to have an initial conultation before...

Hi xNeex :) Thanks for your reply. I do need to think about control - but I cant control food at the moment, so I am just piling the pounds on which is making me feels worse :cry:. Thats why I have decided to do a meal replacement diet, so I can some weight off, feel better for it and then...

Hello everyone, This is my first post on the forum (bit confused by it at the moment, but should find my way around shortly - hope this is the right place for this!) :) Im at a bit of a dead end with weight loss - not really sure which way to go. I feel like my friends and family have had...
