Well done you!! That's the spirit. Your post has really helped me. I've had a wobbly day. Just keep reminding myself why I'm doing this and get back on the horse! The most important thing is to keep trying :0) Keep on trucking! X

Welcome Sazzle! You've certainly come to the right place! This forum is brilliant. I don't post often but it's a mine of inspiration and information to keep you going! Hope all is going well!!

Re-starting too! Hi All, i am restarting too, I have put back on 2 of the 5 stone I lost a couple of years ago. After losing 5 st I was so happy and easily fitting into size 16. Bliss. But I never got below 12st 10lbs which was a shame but to be honest I would be happy initially just to get...

Same here. Third week in & really struggling with TS. It never works so well for me unless I stick to it properly but I keep nibbling!!!! I have had family gatherings where we went out to eat last weekend & another next Sunday so I really need to be 100% during week to minimise the damage. Oh...

Phew what a week! Very glad to collapse into bed last night, ha ha! Now just weighed in and only lost 2lbs this week. Aaaargh! Makes you want to weep but I haven't a) drunk enough water b) done any exercise c) had my period & d) had 2 poorly children (so mega dose of working-mother guilt) &...

Restarting too! Hello everyone, I am another restarter! I began on Exante a year ago and I lost 5 stone by May this year. I decided I really needed a break and came off diet completely. I was pretty curious to see if I could maintain my new weight...well of course the answer was No! :8855: So...

Hi Rachel, I absolutely know how you feel coping with calorie counting. I've found Exante set me free of all that so I could stop thinking about food all day long and get on with my life. I say go for it and finally shift those last few stubborn LBS. You are an inspiration as my dream is to...

Hello everyone! Is there room on this jolly thread for me?! I'm another returner for another go! I lost 3 stone between aug & end of November last year. I took December off to enjoy numerous Xmas celebrations and had a fab time but did gain 7 lbs. Well after the half ton of choc coated...

Hi there, I'm in week 7 (I think!?!?) and I really struggled with the bars & half the soups but do stick with it!! Wash them down & forget about them as you get used to them after couple of weeks & have great losses especially in 1st month. I wouldn't say I've come to LIKE the bars & soups but I...

Wow Elvira that's amazing!! I'm another one that didn't take measurements but i wish i had now! I definitely will do some now even though I'm in week 7 as I still have 4-5 stone left to lose after all ha ha! Helen X

Welcome Nico! Well done on talking the first step! I'm sure many of us have similar stories of almost getting started but not quite. Getting your head in the right place in order to stick to the diet and stay focused & motivated is so important. I've found constantly imagining all the positive...

Gosh KD thanks v much for that post!! It explains everything that I didn't understand. I have been doing exante for 6 weeks (am just a couple of lbs away from 2 st loss!) & never shown a sign of ketosis whenever I have tested myself with ketostix. And now I know that I'm probably well hydrated &...

Hi Elvira & everyone! You are doing so well Elvira! I had rotten cold during my AAMW & was v inactive put on 2 lbs much my horror but it has disappeared this week. I have weighed in 2 days early as yet another family gathering to go to (another chicken salad ha ha!) and lost 6 lbs this week &...

Well done Elvira!! That is brilliant! Week after week you are posting great numbers. You really should be proud of yourself  I ended up having several chicken salads over bank hol weekend but still had my shakes for breakfast. Am back onto TFR today and it's quite a relief. I may add a meal if...

Because I want to: feel comfy in hot weather : buy clothes because I look nice in them not simply because they're big enough for me to actually get in them : get into a wet suit so I can body board with my children rather than staying with the...

Yes me too. I'm veering wildly between completely focused & motivated  to completely fed up!!  I'm sure this is a phase that everyone goes thru and we will have to work thru it somehow. I only lost 3 lbs this week and that's great as over the 4 weeks that's 21 lbs but I was really...

Ha ha that's really excellent! I'm on number 16 as don't think I've lost much this week despite being 100% and exercising . But I know sometimes your body doesn't cooperate and even 2 or 3 lbs is brilliant....or at least I hope to convince myself of that tomorrow morning when I weigh in...

Gosh me too! Just coming to end of week 4 but I've done really badly with water last few days. Felt ghastly with thumping headache as a result. Just had busy few days when it just wasn't practical to need a wee every 20 mins!! I have family do tomorow so I'm starting add a meal week early as I...

Glad you're back Elvira! I was wondering where you were too! Did you feel better back on TS? I'm supposed to start AAMW on Sunday and feeling bit apprehensive with good reason from sound if it! Me & my girls go back to school middle of next week (I'm a part time teaching assistant) so think I'll...

Thanks McFluffy & Starlight! - there are some great ideas there. Think I'll turn my tomato & basil soup into tomato curry flavour and see if I can get it down me that way! Helen X

Kilimanjaro! God how exciting!!! And congrats on the successful training! :character00116: You are so right about exercise - I've been doing a half hour of step everyday and for the first time in my life I'm really enjoying it and helps me deal with stresses of daily life. We are almost the...

Hi All, I'm just starting week 4 and apart from a home baked mini cheese muffin a couple of days ago I have stuck to the soups, bars and shakes religiously. But I'm starting to struggle. I need any tips and ideas for making the soups and shakes more exciting so that I don't stare at them with...

Hi Susie! I do feel for you, I had the same stonking headache in first few days and it did go thank goodness. It's perfectly normal as your body adapts to the diet. My tummy also gurgles like mad after by evening soup but not strangely after my morning shake or lunchtime bar...no idea why! I...

Well Done, Elivira! You're going great guns!! Helen XXXX

Hi Elvira, That sounds like a good shopping list! I was reading up on the add a meal week allowance last night...bit premature as I'm only on day 13 but my add a meal week will be half school hols, then I go back to work mid week when the girls go back to school and I will have to be really...

Oh what a good idea having the shakes hot! I am looking forward to a hot latte or hot chocolate for breakfast now. Roll on Day 11! :nightf: Night night all. Helen X

Hello Elvira & everyone, I have really enjoyed following your ecante experience. I started on Aug 1st so have just woken up to f Day 10. I lost 10lbs in first week which was a wonderful start. I don't like the strawberry shakes, the tomato soup or either of the bars. With the shakes I put a...

Hello MissBliss & Elvira, Just started following your thread, and you are both a real inspiration. I'm starting Exante 1st aug (I need to lose 6 stone) and i am anticipating that the first 3 days will be the absolute pits. :jelous: It's really good to follow your posts and hear all about your...

Thank goodness I found you! Hello, I have just ordered my 4 weeks Exante supply and will start 1st of August. |I work in a primary school and I am bit worried about going all feeble and light headed so thought I'd wait til holidays begun and my birthday had passed. I have couple of friends who...
