Let me know how you get on ? x

I had really faint lines for about a week... Was due to go in to hospital for an appt but even then doctor was useless! I didn't get a strong line til I was 5 weeks and that was using clear blue which put me at 2-3 weeks since conception. Sounds like you def are pregnant so congratulations! I...

Aww congratulations! I ate constantly during my first 12 weeks and put on a stone! Most of it was junk as I didn't fancy anything else! Started slimming world yesterday just to manage what I eat more than anything otherwise I literally don't stop eating! Argh! Hope your sickness goes soon x

That's my thinking! There's a pregnancy group in the slimming world bit of this site too. I found it the other day by accident! May be helpful on our plan to be yummy mummies! Xx

Ha let's hope I am a bit more clued up! Messaged a local slimming world group today and am going along to a meeting next week for a chat. She will give me forms for midwife to sign too so I finally feel like I'm doing something proactive! Also going home tomorrow so no more crossaints and crisps...

I'm hoping to just have gas and air this time round. Last time I remember the midwives at birthing centre telling me to take a couple of paracetamol and have a warm bath...it did nothing. Went to main hospital and had epidural as he was back to back, but was born within four hours of getting to...

I know! Nightmare isn't it! I think it's guess work to a degree! My dates with my first changed loads...and I was told he was a big baby...he came 3 weeks early according to their dates and was 6lb 9! Quite glad we have the winter months when heavily pregnant. I do feel for women who are ready...

Aww big_mamma hopefully tiredness will fade a bit soon. Just rest when you can! rhonda I have had three scans too. First at 5 weeks due to scare second at nearly 7 which put dates back then another on 24th which put me back to where I thought I was! Am so excited! Yes I think we will find out...

Aww I'm really happy for you! Have you had first scan yet? You must be so excited! Thanks for the run down. I'm going to start when I'm home. Also going to try to get more active. Midwife told me not to ride my horse which is pretty rubbish so have to find something less risky I guess! I love...

If you've time to give me a quick run down that would be great pls. Is it just like normal slimming world but with extras for the baby? I just need something to keep me in check. I put on four stone with my first and was lighter to start with. I desperate not to do that again! If I can get away...

Hello. Firstly big congratulations! I am really tempted to start slimming world too. At my booking in appt my bmi was 30.1 as I put on about a stone before I fell pregnant. I've put on another 6 lbs since booking in appt and am terrified of ballooning! I am on holiday but back next week and...

Good luck! I was going to start today but have sinusitis and feel too rubbish to even get out of bed so think ill start tomorrow instead! I'm a carb junkie too but hoping I can get my head in the zone! Here's to a slimmer 2014!! X

Hiya I am in a similar position to you it sucks doesnt it?! The last few nights (bar tonight) have been better though i think because I've done a bit more exercise in the day and tired myself out. Wouldn't know about sleeping tablets maybe the herbal ones if you're desperate?

Yay well done Sarah! That's a fab start. You will easily get into the 11's this week! I've got WI tomorrow (after my terrible start!!) I reckon it'll be about 6 or 7 for me! Which I'll def take! X

I'm sure the loss will show itself soon. Have you been measuring yourself for inchloss too? Hope you're enjoying your break

Hello how are you? How was your day? Been working and on my feet all day today and already in bed but stayed 100% yay! Fingers crossed I can keep it up now! Thank you for your support this week :) hopefully ivr got over my hurdles now. If I can drop a couple of pounds by WI fri I'll be over the...

We all do it. Stop Beating yourself up over it draw a line under it and remember tomorrow is another day. Just try to get back on wagon ASAP and drink a bit extra. How you feeling? X

Argh didn't mean to press send! I'm gonna order tomorrow a full week I think I have been rubbish on e. I managed three days 100%. I was fine all day til I got home then turned into a woman possessed wanting to eat anything and everything....so I'm hoping having the s and s meals might help me...

I meant delay the s n s til anti bs finished but I googled it earlier and you should be fine to do s and s. If in doubt maybe have an extra pack a day til you have finished the course? I tried sample s and s spaghetti Bol today. It was lush. Could live on it :)

I'm on my phone so can't like anything but a massive well done coming your way! You have done yourself proud girl! How long did it take you your head properly into diet mode? Know what you mean about fluids. I used to drink 8 cups of green tea and 2 litres of water a day and was 11 stone. Now I...

Just had a quick look, wow thats great! I wish I had the same determination I did when I quit smoking! I just took it one day at a time, and did fine. During my wobbles I bought clothes :s or ate. I put on a stone. Now I am dieting I want to smoke again! This isnt meant to happen! I think Im a...

Oh I was thinking more of your health as opposed to how they'd affect diet :s still have no idea though sorry?

Have you tried googling it? You could always delay starting if you're worried? I've decided I'm gonna switch ny WI to Friday so if I knuckle down I should see a good loss this week :)

Think so as it has citric acid in it. Try coke zero or dr pepper zero. I didn't think I'd like dr pepper zero as I could the full fat too sweet but I love it. Could drink it all day given the chance

I'm rubbish on e. I've fallen off the wagon big time! Tempted not to even WI weds. Although I think I must have been going through a rubbish patch all round as nearly fell off the no smoking wagon too! Argh! Still I've regained control (I think!!) and am waiting for my sample packs to arrive...

Just a quick one as I'm in bed coughing my guts up deeply rubbish but well done you!! What a fab couple weeks you've had! Those trousers will be falling down in no time now! :)

Yay well done fb. Good luck for WI tomorrow! X

I had to stop ww and sw as I was worried I'd end up with an eating disorder. The pressure before weigh in was too much so I'd end up starving myself and taking laxatives. Not clever at all. I think a vlcd diet works for me as I stopover to eat/drink and everything controlled for me if that makes...

3 spag bols in a day sounds heaven to me! :)

What a fab start! Well done. Good luck with week 2 :)

Im gonna have to try less water mine was really watery with 200ml today

You can have Dr Pepper Zero too....id never tried it (or thought id like it) til last week! Now i love it!

I feel like your stalker! ha sorry! I am thinking of switching to S and S too! Ive just ordered the samples so hopefully they will be here tomorrow. Good luck :) x

Ah you poor thing, you sound like youre really poorly. Try to get loads of fluid down you too, as this should really help flush the nasty toxins away. Hope you are feeling better soon x

Well done Sarahlou keep it up! I'm sure you'll get your 10lb loss. I think I'll be lucky with 6 given my atrocious fails! But I'll take six and a kick up ghr backside! Roll on weds! Have a great day x

Good luck mamakash you can do it :)

I don't have one yet. Started last weds but hve struggled to get my head around it all. Had 3 ts days and two terrible days where I just didnt plan and tortured myself! Trying to stay focused again now. Have written down the reasons I want to lose weight which I hadn't done before so hoping that...

Ah can sympathise with you here. What about writing down all the reasons you want to lose weight? Also take it one day at a time so it's less daunting. You could set yourself some mini targets and rewards which aren't food related like a new hair style or trip to the spa at certain points...

Well done. You will def get to your first target now :)

Hey it's still a big loss esp with totm so a huge well done! I'm sure if you stay totally on ts you'll have a big loss next week too :)

Hiya welcome back. Ah if you have done it before you cab definitely do it again. Just think how fab you will feel on holiday in all your lovely clothes! Good luck :) x

Haven't got any advice either but try to keep drinking your fluids. Also there is a Calomine oily cream that's meant to be good. I can't remember the name for the life of me though sorry! But my friend recommended it when I thought ny little one was going down with it. Hope you start to feel...

Well done so far. Sounds like you're doing fab! :)

I have some lovely jeggings from Dorothy Perkins. They are 25% off at moment on website I think too. They come in quite a few colours and are high so no muffin top if you want an in-between pair I'm having a rubbish day already. Making Choc crispy cakes with little one. Over cooked the...

Oh no it's a 5lb loss so far. I'd really love to finish on 9 for the week so That's another 4 by weds.... Aiming to lose at least another half a stone by 16th march so that's 3.5 a week which I think is doable! X

Well done for the will power! I've had a 100% ts day today and feel positive. Bit headachey an tired. Think ill be asleep as soon as ny head hits the pillow! Hopefully you will wake up feeling better tomorrow :) night night

Your done good girl! I don't think I could run for 5 metres let alone miles! Did it take you long to build up to it? I'm a nightmare with the scales. I should bin them really. They are showing a 4lb loss so far although before I fell off the wagon yesterday they showed 6! Hopefully it will e...

It's great youre looking forward to tomorrow already that's half the battle I think! Hope your other twin doesn't get poorly too! Here's to a decent night sleep for you and a good day tomorrow :)

Yay well done! Ive had a good day. Had soup for lunch then went riding. Got home and had a shake drank the rest of my water and sat down to watch tv but then starving! Luckily i still had ny bar to eat so devoured that! Worn out now. Hoping for a loss on the scales tomorrow :) what days your...

Well done for resisting the food! You're doing soooo well :)

Yeah that's a good idea. Go back to basics. It might just be your body playing silly things! Good luck x

Sorry I meant one bar a day! Meant to correct it! It is hard I have struggled a bit with timings but I guess we got to make the time to do it right :)

Oh you're not meant to have more than 2 bars a day I think

Ah maybe I should do the same?! Yeah I say horse but she's actually a pony bless her! Hadn't ridden her properly since I was 4 months pregnant! Love it now though! not sure she feels the same with me on her back ha x

Hiya Welcome to the boards. Youve already taken the first step. Ive not been on here long so cant comment too much. Dont prepare food when you are hungry. If you want to save your shake or soup etc just drink loads of water as you are cooking so you are too full to eat. I also find Dr Pepper...

Exante recommend you do some exercise every day - 20 mins I think. Maybe try running and see how you get on? Just make sure you drink enough water :) Exercise will also help tone. If I could, I would love to run but I cant. Dont know why but my lungs feel like they are giving up. Having said...

Ive been awful with my weight since I had little one and my ex used to tell me I was fat and ugly. Always stayed around 11.12 - 12.2 without doing much about it, then quit smoking and was fast approaching 13stone so decided enough was enough. That and being told I was a big girl by some stupid...

Well done :)

Erm only since Weds :s so Im hardly experienced! I did CD about 4 years ago and lost a stone and half then got pregnant! I had a small blip yesterday and am up 2lbs from what I was yesterday which is why I am more focused than ever now to stay strong and do it. A few months to lose the weight...

Well done! What a great feeling to start the weekend!

Well done :)

Hopefully a day of r and r will have you feeling back to normal tomorrow :)

How you feeling today? It might not be the diet thats making your tummy bad. Both me and little one have bad tummies. If its still bad this morning maybe come off it, and start when youre feeling better x

Im crossing everything that my porridge arrives today. Am starving!

I use the boards to help support me. Id probably get lectures off a few friends, so would rather keep quiet than argue about it. A bit cowardly I know, but figure it will be easier. Good luck :)

The fact you're back on it is why you're doing well. It's all too easy to throw the towel in due to guilt and frustration! Stay strong you will do this :)

And a pound down is still a pound down! It's all in the right direction :)

This is a great read- thank you for posting it! It's got me all motivated again too! X

Maybe you're going down with the dreaded bug everyone seems to b getting? Can you have a quieter day today and try to relax? Z

Well done vicki you're doing really well so far. Just stay ts today and drink lots of water to flush everything through x

Have you measured yourself? Even if the scales arent playing ball you're bound to have lost inches. If you havent taken measurements yet take some today then again in a week. Are you drinking enough fluid? When I did cd years ago even if I stuck to shakes 100% if I didn't drink enough nothing...

Yay well done. That's great! I'm sure you'll be a stone down for St Paddys Day. Good luck :)

Keep going Belle you're doing so well! What days your weigh in? X

Those other two will be gone in no time I'm sure. Good luck

Well done bb12 and Sarah Lou I showed a 5lb loss so far this morning. Didnt plan today at all. Had a soup about 10 which was vile!! bar at half eleven and then had lunch as I was starving didbt have water and just messed up. That and a little one with a sickness bug I feel horrid. Feel g this...

Hello. I've just read your diary you are doing so well! Sorry to hear you're having a tough day. Try to stay focused and remember how far you've come already. Take each day at a time and if you get a craving try to distract yourself. Sounds like you're doing fab at that already. For some reason...

Ah thats brilliant! Well done you! I have a pair of jeans that I bought just before I found out I was pregnant - they still have the flipping tag in them! Must be an amazing feeling to be in them :)

Good luck :) x

Ah Zoe sorry to hear. I think my little one going down with something too. Just threw up his drink then his lunch. Lovely. I've strayed too argh! Shall we give ourselves a slap on the wrist and get back on the wagon x

Well done boo! In the past, I have had a smaller loss when its TOTM but then a massive one the week after! So you might find you get a bigger loss next week x

What a cowbag!! Did you know her? I remember my ex telling me I was fat and ugly...I replied saying at least 'I can lose weight, you will always have your personality though'. 2 years down the line, Im the happy one and he is still miserable as sin. Dont take it to heart, she is probably jealous...

Im only on day two and have really struggled today! Went to the supermarket earlier which was like torture! Not sure why I find that so bad as I can quite happily cook without so much as tasting a sauce! Hope I can stay as strong as everyone else on here!

Ah thats great! Im sure youre reading into the bum bit too much and should def take it as a compliment :)

Aww Zoebear try to stay strong. You are doing so well. Try to think how great you will feel in a weeks time when you have your first WI. Ive been so hungry today, partly because my day got a bit jumbled and I couldnt have my soup til 3, I was ravenous! Hope you have a good sleep and feel better...

Well done so far! The mousse sounds a fab idea - might give that a try later. Hope today goes well x

Hiya Welcome to the boards :) I somehow binge too, until I cant eat anymore, but then the next day I feel so bad, and comfort eat again and so it goes on. The biggest I was was full term with my son at 15.2, and since having him the lightest Ive been was 11.8/9. I was around 11.12/13 til...

Hiya Wow, youve already had a great start. Good luck with the rest of your journey x

Good luck with slim and save! Let us know how you get on. Im tempted to try it too - I only ordered a week on Exante incase I really couldnt get my head around it!

Ive only been on this for 2 days, so probably arent the best person to be giving advice, but hard boiled eggs or something like a bit of chicken might be ok? They are v low in carbs... Or if you are finding its really getting you down, how about the WS way as that still says you should lose...

Well done platinum, thats a fantastic start! I hope I manage that in my first 2 weeks!

I am on day two. I try to drink 2 litres minimum of water then everything else is a bonus :) Good luck x

Yay well done for sticking at it. I was 2 lbs down today too,but meeting a friend later! Wondering if I can get away drinking water... I havent tried choc shake yet, will give it a whirl later. Had a bar at 9 as in work today and starving now! Got the tomato and basil soup for lunch, hopefully...

Good luck today! x

Hiya Frylight! Welcome to Exante. Ive only been here two days but loving it so far. Havent got many tips yet just keep drinking water. Good luck x

Set yourself mini goals to look forward to, maybe a new hair cut, or get your nails done; something thats not food related. Deciding to do it is the first step, so stay positive - you can do it x

Hiya, welcome to Exante! Im only on day 2 but loving it so far - just hope I can keep up with the enthusiasm! Good luck :) x

I slept like a baby last night despite having a little one in bed with me telling me he was poorly...I think he just wanted mummy cuddles and knows Im too soft! Anyway hes gone to nursery Ive come to work and Ive had my bar already... Have a lot to do here today so know I can keep busy, and Im a...

The exante one has more protein - maybe to keep you fuller for longer?

If you are craving something to chew, the tesco meal replacement bars are a substitute for the exante bars, and are cheaper too! Think they do a chocolate and a raspberry one. They are the ultraslim ones. Hope that helps :)

Yay day one done! Ive been drinking flavoured water (the sainsburys one) as well as 'plain' water. Ive managed 3 litres today, although 1.5 was the flavoured one...that might help! Tempted to get on the scales tomorrow (im a terrible daily weigher!) but Im not convinced ours are right as...

Ive just ordered a couple of packs of porridge to try, cant wait for it to come now!

Wow! You look amazing! Well done! You are an inspriation! X

Good luck! The tip I keep hearing is keep drinking water :)

Ive only started today, but am super motivated! Have a look through the diaries. When Ive been doing it a bit longer Ill repost! X

Have you tried drinking flavoured water? It can be easier to drink sometimes than plain water? Ive been drinking the sainsburys one and got a litre and a half down really easily with that, and it solved sweet cravings too! Hope you feel better soon x

Youre doing really well! Keep at it! I am on day one, I had my soup about an hour ago, have glugged 1 1/2 litres of water and feel hungry, but I know its just emotional and Im probably bored! You are nearly half way through your first week already! Stay focused :) x

Waist 35, hips 43, thighs 24 each! :( Cant wait for first WI next week now! Good luck bb12 :) Forgot to add SW is 179...

Hiya Can I join you two on this thread too please? Ive started today! Order arrived about an hour ago, and I was starving so had the soup just now! Went for the mushroom one which wasnt actually that bad at all! I will go get a tape measure and upload my measurements! So determined to do this! x

Hope you are starting to feel a bit better now and good luck! X

Please can I join too? My packs are due to arrive today. I was 12.4 Sat night and 12.11 this morning?! So myoffical start weight is 12.11 now, and Id like to be 10.7 so I have 32 pounds to lose! Argh! If anyone has any tips please send them my way! Good luck everyone carrie 1980 4/24lbs...

Congratulations on the birth of your little one! I am restarting today. Feel horrible. My little one is 16 months now, and I really want to lose the weight now so I feel better about myself and have more energy to do things with him. Remember to keep drinking your water! Good luck! xx
