I'm in bristol

I get annoyed when people try and force their options onto you, it's like just mind your own business!

I've done these kind of diets for awhil now, (mainly before I have to wear a bikini in holiday !) Does anyone else get annoyed/embaressed with the constant nosiness of work colleagues? I just tend to have the bars on lunch now as its not as obvious!

Well done!

Back again 3rd time at restarting this year, back after a holiday and I'm moritifed how much weight I've put on, am so disgusted with myself. After having a serious word with myself I've come back to do it again, really need to get all this off was doing so well before my holiday in mexico in...

after 3 tries this week to complete week 5 run 3 (the 20minute no stopping) I finally managed it today!!! Who hooh can finally progress to week 6 now

I too think they are a waste of money! I just go by my doggy breath!

Good luck everyone, its helping me that I only have the 2 days off, working today and tuesday! Off to the cinema tonight to avoid ordering the usual saturday night takeaway!

There was just one night this week i felt a bit of nausea after doing my run, I think its a combination of being very warm and muggy and also the fact I'm not eating food anymore, So i've decided if i feel like that afterwards I'll have my shake and if i feel no better I'm going to have a couple...

Its probably just jealously that you are brave enough to do something about it! You prove them wrong and enjoy doing it!

I also notice now i'm running for longer runs than I did last time I did exante that I'm feeling a bit of nausea and light headedness, I think on those days I might have a couple of hard boiled eggs when i get back from the gym. I am really enjoying running so definetly don't want to give it up!

Welcome back, dont worry we all need a kick up the butt sometimes!

didnt make it to the gym the other night, went tonight instead, didnt quite manage that 20 minutes running, managed 17.5mins before i succumbed to the Stitch! Am just going to keep running the same run until I can do it fully, no point in progressing through if you can complete the stages!

Add me in! I'm trying for a stone off in June!

Anyone else suffering the headaches? I forgot how bad they get at the start!

I've not run since being at school, even then I did as little as i could! It starts really easy and then gets more week by week, but I'm not struggling at all so far! Like I said before i am doing the last run of week 5 tonight which is the longest i will have ran with no break if i can do it...

Hey, I've been doing it! Am on the end of week 5 and am finding it really easy so far! However I have only just restarted on Exante this week having come back off a holiday, so am seeing how I go really, felt fine yesterday after my run and doing another tonight

Thanks guys, day one has been easy (probably cos i'm motivated at the minute!) A nice creamy shake with loads of ice for tea i think!

Well done on coming back! Its day 1 for me too- we can do it!

May be worth mentioning it to Exante, if you all had the same batch number maybe it was faulty?!

Hey everyone, I'm being brave and coming back after having my amazing holiday in Mexico!, came back a month ago and managed to put a whole stone on whilst away. I've managed to lose 7lb in the past month since coming back by eating healthily, but decided its just so much easier to lose it on...

Honk for yesterday although I'm not managing many honks lately!

I feel exactly the same, I used to love the mushroom bit now it turns my stomach ! Not liking many of the soups any more

Hey I feel the same as you! I'm starting to wonder if all the excersise is impeeding my loss too? TO be honest though when I'm excersising I feel so much happier and I am definetly more toned and have way less orange peel on the back of my legs! I suppose its a catch 22 thing isnt it? I'm loving...

Honk for two days in a row ! Good achievement for me as I've been struggling for the past week!

Thanks! Will make a trip there next week then! Just thrown away so many holiday clothes!

It will be four weeks tomorrow !

Well done that's great !

Honk for today!

I go for a hour or more at least 4-5 time a week, mainly because it stops me sitting in front of the telly and thinking about food. I burn at least 400 calories a time, and I feel fine. On days I'm hungry I'll have a couple of boiled eggs x

I work on the motto of being ten minutes early for everything! You never know what crops up and being late looks lazy unprofessional and rude. we have a few members of family like that in fact they are so bad we tell them to meet an hour earlier than we are, just so they will be relatively on time!

Just wanting to know if the holiday shop has made an appearance yet? Need some new bikinis and stuff for Easter x

Honk for a change!

We are going to excellence Rivera cancun, we went there on honeymoon and can't wait to go back, all the hotels look lovely over there x

Mexico is the place to be! Where did everyone stay?

It won't take you very long if you can stick at it!

Well done keep up the good work

Well done that's great!

Thanks guys, it's been really hard and I've crumbled a few times on the way, but I think all the excersise has helped! We are all doing so well on this board- keep it up guys!

Of I was your sister I would be proud of you for shifting the weight, but I can also understand her point of view, as she's already paid for the dress and they can be expensive. Why not offer to pay for any alterations or if needs be a new dress? Xx

Weighed in at the weekend for my Third week nd pleased to say I've got my first stone off! I'm at the point now where on other diets I've settled for this weight, even though I've always wanted to weigh less! I'm really wanting to try to get another stone off now just so I can say I'm the...

Food replacement diets are so unsociable, I feel your pain! Just try and be as good as you can when your there, I know losing the weight is important, but so is having a life! I'm sure you will do fine x I dont have anything planned but I do have a deadline of 24th March to lose as much as...

My loss is slowing down as well, but then again I have cheated a few times! I do think as you start to weigh less it gets harder to lose the big numbers each week.

Honk for two days!

Yeah it was Sandy, you could tell from the start his heart wasnt in it, even when he was told about his liver will kill him! Stupid man

I watch lots of it aswell, i find it helps me get back on track because i never ever want to get like the people on those tv shows

The guy this week is annoying me!

I agree with the vanilla and coffee, im not keen on vanilla plain, but with the coffee in and ice its lush!

Let myself down again last night and ate the pizza and have oven chips out of the freezer! I knew i should have got rid of them........ grrr

Venison is lush, just expensive nice for the odd treat though!

Mine is the last week of march, we go to Mexico and I'd love to be a size 12 by then and ten and half stone. I've just got to 11.5 this week ( my before Xmas weight) so I just need to shift another stone. Going to try to hit the gym hard this week to give me an extra push

Well done, you look so different!!!

Week 2 and I lost 1.5lb bit disapointed but to be fair I have been a bit naughty this week with food, plus I wasnt expecting much in week 2 after such a big loss last week! JUst got to keep chipping away! A loss is a loss!

I would have though it could only help really, if your burning fat and gaining muscle, doesnt it mean that you burn calories faster then? Not to mention its good for your body and fitness!

Thanks for the input, managed a 100% day yesterday without any problems, must have just had an off day x

Somtimes when i'm at the gym I burn more than 600 calories i get from exante, so effectively taking in negative calories. Is anyone else doing this, and if so is it helping or hindering your weight loss?

Honk for me today!

Just some E** and H*m x

Yesterday was day 10 for me, and its the first time I felt lightheaded and dizzy and weak, so naughtily I ate something last night. Was this the right thing to do?

I also think I'm going to have a weight threshold that i will NOT exceed, so if i see myself creeping towards that I know I'm doing something wrong and back to exante i will go for a few weeks! I dont want to back in the same position in a years time!

Thanks guys, had a blip at the weekend, but went to the gym extra to try and make up for it!

Honk for yesterday! and honk i managed the gym on a sunday!

I'm planning on getting lower than I want to be, so when I start re introducing food I've got a few lbs to play with, but I'm going to avoid so much bread and potato like i ate before, focus on cooking healthily, grilling and steaming rather than frying etc.. I want to try and follow a...

Love: Banana shake, chocolate shake, mushroom soup, vegetable soup, both bars Like: chicken soup, strawberry soup Not keen: vanilla shake, HATE tomato soup

Well managed my first week and weighed in this morning! managed to lose 9lb! I'm really happy with that!

I've really noticed a difference in my arms now I do weights with the hubby at the gym, they have definition now, before they were just flabby! I also do lunges and squats on the powerplate, which seems to have really lessened my cellulite on my thighs! and walking lots of walking up steep hills!

i'm cold all the time too, not nice! Good job everyone at work are cold type aswell, we have the heating cranked right up!

Thats great! Its half a stone less than you were last week x Keep up the good work and dont get disheartened x

I LOVE the mushroom! Its my favourite, the chicken and vegetable ones are lovely too (the veg one has peas in it so it look like normal soup! I'm keeping my diet a secret at work so i take this one for my lunch a lot!) The only one I struggle with is the tomato, I think its the colour of it more...

Stop weighing!!! lol, I know its hard, lock them away!

Get back on it, you still can do it if you work really hard!!!! xxxxx

I'm going to try in the next couple of weeks to wean myself off all sweeteners! It can only help?! Only have one in my black coffee now...

Please keep going it will be worth it and you will be so disappointed if you give in now!!!!!! You have the support here to do it, you can do it!

I feel brilliant! Day 2 was the most difficult for me, as I was hungry but now I must be ketosis because I dont get hunger pangs anymore! When I did LT last year I felt really c**p for a couple of weeks, but I'm finding I'm OK on this, maybe it's because I'm enjoying the food packs more? I'm...

Day 5, just had a sneaky look at the scales for the first time, and I've lost 7lb! Still got til Saturday for my weekly weigh so I'm REALLY chuffed to say the least, and can tick off my first target of getting under 12 stone!

the chocolate one is nice aswell!!!!

Extra bad today! Had to really hold it in whilst on the treadmill at the gym! lol

Me too, the heating is on 24 degress and U'm still here shivering in my huge dressing gown bed socks and pjs!

honk!

HI, I'm on day 5, and before doing the gym a gym regular 4 times a week, I'm finding I have the same energy levels as I did before so I'm still going the gym and doing my normal things! Just see how you feel really x

Day 3 done, was very easy. Day 4 today-it really is so much easier when your at work!

Im loving the banana shake too!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmm

Days 3 for me and I'm suffering really badly too!!!!!

Today it was cakes and sausage rolls for someones birthday at work! yay me

Honky honk today

Welcome and good luck!

keep going!

Yeah definetly the worst flavour yet, will have to pace myself with a couple per week or i will be left with loads of them at the end of the month!!!!!!

Thanks guys am starting day 3 today, feel fine, was hungry yesterday but I think that has more to do with sitting at home watching the telly than actually being hungry! Back at work today so the rest of the week should be easy peasy now!

Have had a 2week break from the gym but I am going back tonight after work, planning on going gently this week as I'm only on day 2, so 30 mins brisk walk, powerplate squats and some weights methinks!

Proud to say honk honk days 1 & 2!

Well done, and it probably means you will have a big loss next week anyway!

I agree just tried a tomato, not that great. thinks the pink colour put me off! put some lea & perrins in it, it was a bit nicer after that.

Well done! I'm just focusing on making it through the first week!

I am having coffee for breakfast, then my lunch at 2, tea at 7, then i save the bar for about half 8 to have with a cup of decaff hot coffee as my nighttime snack, I always get the munchies at this time so i find it helps

Had the banana in the blender with some ice cubes, came out nice and frothy and chilled! Was yummy to drink and filled me up!

Well done for making to day 20!

have only tried mushroom, but that is lovely! very creamy

Hi there welcome!

So far have only tasted mushroom and thai chicken but they were both lovely!

Thanks guys, day is going fine so far, (other than the accident with my shaker and my shake at work! -make sure the top is screwed on!) had mushroom soup for tea and its yummy, and going to have a bar with a coffee in a bit!

Wish me luck! Am working all day so that should help me focus on other things than the lack of food in my tummy! Had my last supper of pizza takeaway, last one of those for the next few months! Will do the dreaded weigh in tomorrow :-/

Your workmates sure do eat a lot of takeaways!

Hey, just wanted to see if anyone is taking any vitamin supplements whilst on the diet? I was thinking of taking some as a pick me up because last time I remember feeling quite run down the first few days of the diet.

Just make sure you take the ibuprofen with your shakes if you can, they can really irritate your tummy lining if you take them on an empty stomach xxx but yes you can take both paracetamol and ibuprofen together.

Yes I've been watching them, I cant believe the woman this week did a bungee!

Well done! Keep it up! The week isnt over yet!

I have something called vecon in my cupboard from when i did SW, anyone know if you can drink this? its a vegetable liquid stock

Well done everyone for doing so well, it will be worth it at the end!

Well done for sticking with it!

I get told that too, i also am lucky in the fact i dont seem to look as heavy or as big as i am. I am fed up with people saying I dont need to diet, or that I'm going to make myself ill, or oooh you have an eating problem. Actually my BMI is classed as obese, I cannot fit into my size 14's...

You have all done so well!!!! I need to remember to take a few before pictures this week! Hopefully in a few months I can join you!

BUMP love the idea of a treat when you get to a mini goal! I will have a think about some treats for myself now!

They have arrived this morning! Must admit the bars look especially nice, look a lot like the protein bars you get from the health shops! Looking forward to starting now, I know the first few days are the most difficult, but I am determined this time need to lose 2 stone by mid march do you...

Thanks for all the comments folks, we have bitten the bullet and bought ourselves a months supply each, we are both committing to a start date on Saturday together, making sure we remember to take some before photos!

Thanks for the replys, think I will talk it through with the hubby tonight, (he is also going to do either lipo/exante) Exante does sound better actually, because you soon get fed up with the limited choice of flavours on lipotrim.

Just after a bit of encouragment and advice, I have previously done Lipotrim and lost 2 stone, but with xmas and me being a bit lazy lately have put a stone back on. Would anyone be able to tell me if Exante is more paletable than Lipotrim? I did 6 weeks or so with LT, hoping to do the same...

Does anyone know how many propoints are in 100g of asda smartprice cottage cheese? thanks x

Scan Bran anyone? Bought some tonight to try lol

I love alpen lights, especially the chocolate and fudge one yum

When it says 227g baking potato with skin, can i use the potato and mash it providing i mash the skin aswell? Maybe a silly question I know

This thread is great ladies, V inspiring

a curry from the indian!!! yum yum

I LOVE this cake, had a piece of Friday for Macmillan coffee morning, dread to think how many syns tho....

the same thing? i know its a stupid question but just wanted to make they were?:confused::confused:

Yeah I think thats the best way to use them , i did eat a lot of mayo before hand, had it on nearly everything, however I am not missing it!

YES! I will admot before joining SW last week I was unhealtily NOT eating for a few weeks beforehand (I just ate hard boiled eggs) needless to say it worked at first but after a while I stopped losing. As this is the 1st week I've actually been eating healithy, as in eating actual food, I am...

I have just raided the fridge for something synful and had 28g of brie that i had lurking in there! 4.5 syns and an options hot choc to go to bed with!

Can I add my Father in Law's business? Taylors of Sale: One of Britain's better butchers Although it does not state on the website, he has sent his slimmers meat choices off to slimming world and had them approved. I can vouch for the syn free sausages they are lush!!!! As you can see I get...

I find I am so full from the free foods that when it comes to using my syns I dont feel like it! Anybody else have this trouble?

yep thats the one!!!! Thanks they are absolutly lush and so much cheaper that mullers/morrisons own brand!

So impressed with Aldis... ....fat free yoghurts! I would go even as far to say they are nicer than mullerlights! They are so creamy, please confirm that they are free for me?! They are only 29p a pot too!

How about trying a Red week? I always find green days with the carbs bloat me right up, it might be good to go carb free for a week? I agree with the water it always helps me when i need to lose. Swapping free food for Speed food?

We went to Mexico, the food was AMAZING never tasted so many lovely things in my whole life! I too look forward to posting on here!

Forgot to mention, 1st week back and i lost 9lb! I know most of that has been bloating, but still its a good loss!

Hi there, I'm new to the forum, but not too new to slimming world, am joining this fab place to get more support and advice to get these extra pounds off I racked up on honeymoon a few weeks ago! Nice to meet everyone :D
