Hi Shoebodoo I’m a múinteoir too. Unfortunately I’m in a small rural school that Mr. Quinn wants gone. It is all very unnerving really. How do you get around not eating in the staff room? Not an issue for me as we’re only a two teacher school so always have lunch alone. Found that v lonely...

Bumping this thread as it might help those struggling to remember why we are undertaking this task/lifestyle choice.

Sorry to hear about your Godfather. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis. Take care & well done on loss.

Have you a thread on here? I'm almost finished Belle's thread now. Haven't watched the LL in ages, I cannot abide that smug git ;) Don't have a thread more of a lurker really never really feel that I've enough to say. My life if not much to report get up at 6, go to work, come home clean, lurk...

Hurling in Wicklow. Wow I love it the only problem is the OH is from KK so I'm sick of them winning maybe Wicklow can take over from them in a bit. Enjoying your thread well done & good luck on your journey. It's keeping me sane cos it's either Minimins or the LL & Minimins wins hands down.

Hey there just popping into to your thread to say I'm enjoying your motivational diary. I'm back on the Exante wagon after a while off. I'm in the Royal county so we're neighbours.

Good morning fellow Exanters/Exantees. As the title asks can you become dependant on four packs a day? Is this a bad thing? I have had a crazy few weeks work wise starting this are just hectic getting four hours sleep tops at the moment. This will end soon but as I'm so tired I'm hungry so...

Thanks for sharing the site with us MashedBanana. I just ordered the 4 in the special offer for €17.50-it is a simple pleasure. To think I never drank coffee before Exante!

Me too. Gonna be checking your diary as you're always inspirational.

Three days honking this week so far...

Me too on all counts have the Sky + full of those programmes & some more Ace of Cakes etc

So sorry for spoiling the ending for you.

I loved that show too. Thought the standard was higher last year or maybe just cos it was the first series I loved it more. Think Paul is v v handsome. Happy Jo won she seems like a lovely lady. I baked a massive batch of cookies last night using Holly from the show's blog. Also did stuff from...

Oh honey I feel for you I just want to give you a big hug. I too have Endometriosis, which lets face it is a pain @ the best of times but it does make things like seeing other baby bumps etc send us over the edge. Families can be the most insensitive they just do not get it/understanding can...

What a let down indeed, ah well.

New flavours I hope. How intriguing not on F/B I'll watch this space instead.

Honk thank god for this site cos after the GBBO every week I feel inspired to bake but lurking here keeps me on the straight & narrow (hopefully I'll be narrower very soon).

Hi there just like all the others I want to say you look great. It's motivation also because I could have a bikini body too if only I stayed on plan more fool me. Again well done I'm sure you'll back into it easily enough once you're out of holiday mode.

This is what I got from Tesco when I emailed them about the water: Thank you for your email. I’m very sorry to hear that you can’t buy Tesco Apple or Strawberry Still Flavoured Water 1.5 Litre in our stores . I can understand how disappointing this must be for you. We also try to make...

I'm doing this unbeknownst to my husband. He freaked out when he saw minimins/exante on computer history, so I changed by log on name. Sneaky some may say but no I do not feel guilty about the secret, as he's disapproving. I do love & trust him but this is my struggle for my sanity. Everyone's...

As all the others have said well done & wow. Only on day 8 of a re re re start finally got my head in order but these pics do inspire me to keep on track so thanks & again well done.

Honk, getting my groove back.

Totally agree I am a card addict also

Honking for Sunday

Wow well done 80lbs is a great loss. 19lbs is gonna be very doable for you. I do not think that being a month off your original target date is too bad yeah not there for your birthday weekend but really so what... four weeks off the rest of your life is nothing in the grand scheme of things.Well...

Very upsetting news I drove to Asda in Enniskillen, to stock up in June, decided to make a day trip out of it. It was over 160 km I spent over £200 on bars I bought the entire stock. I really like them (clearly!). I know my OH would have been disgusted if he knew what I was up to but I needed...

Honk for yesterday & today getting back on track.

Ashamed it has been so long since a prolonged period of honking but I'm starting again with a honk for today & yesterday.

They also do free postage on all orders over £40 from time to time once you are on their mailing list. That's a real good deal I think.

Hi delivery arrived today 12 days after ordering. I was also charged over £20 for delivery I do not want to think what that actually will be in euro. Was not impressed by the service or response from Exante they ignored many of my emails asking if this delay was going to be normal from now on...

Has anyone had a late delivery recently. I ordered last Wednesday 17th expecting delivery on Monday. It prior to now took three/four days to get to Ireland. I never get an email re delivery. Anyhow I emailed Exante they told me to expect my delivery on Monday 29th . Has anyone else had to wait...

Dunnes sell the BL bars €3ish per bar. I've driven to Asda in Newry to get bars, how sad is that.

Is it really sad that this has put a big small on my face?? I guess I have to get my pleasure somewhere now it no longer coming from Greens & Black!!

I did email them. I forgot you've a bank holiday so as soon/if I get an answer I'll let you all know.

Just want to echo all the other posters & say well done. The changes are amazing. Imagine how your former friend will feel when you get to the after stage?!

Hi Muffy I do not post here very often but I just want to congratulate you on your progress. The difference in your avatar is amazing. Well done. I’ve no doubt your eight week challenge will fly.

Sammeh not sure if you saw this site before I actually think the link was on MiniMins before, anyhow it's images of different people at certain height with various weight. So you can see what you'll look like(ish) one you've reached your target. Photographic Height/Weight Chart

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][/SIZE]Eleven days of honking.

Congratulations! Wishing you & bump a happy & healthy nine months.

Well done on not cheating Chazsucks I also have not cheated really but was not 100% TS & I found the post rather upsetting. TOTM or something but it did get to me. Not having a go at the OP but sometimes we need to word things differently. Your former PM Mr. Major said "Society needs to...

Wow Oh wow you look fantastic well done you. Thank you for putting pictures up it has given me the kick I need.

Stain.

Nomoremuffintop, Julz, SammyE & Divalicious you have all made such changes. Well done it’s amazing to see such obvious differences. Again well done ladies.

Well done hope you don't feel as bad now as you did when you posted about your slip up. You can do it you've proved that much! Well done again.

I agree with the other posters it is hard to cope with the changes & compliments. I know cos once I got near my goal I messed up not in a big way but enough to annoy & upset myself. I'm back on track now & because you’ve acknowledged your slight (very very very slight) stray off the Exante path...

I'm sorry to hear you'd bad news. I know I've screwed up big time over the last few weeks but I also remember the feeling of success & you will too that six pounds & more will be off in no time. Just one step at a time. Take care x

Make OH proud Stop skinny mother nagging Look brilliant in swimwear (want BuxomBarrister’s bikini avatar)</SPAN> Fit into designer clothing (will go shopping) Look better in pictures Live a healthier life Get compliments Meet skinny friends from school Look great in a tight dress Stop jiggling...

Best of luck with your start. The whole site is a welcoming one but the Exanters/Exantees(?) are very helpful. I lurk more than post cos I usually have nothing of interest to say but most posters here are v regular & they'll inspire you.

I only wish I got back into the period of strictness & soon as you. Well done on not spiralling out of control & for deciding to dust yourself down admit your error & for re-starting on the Exante road. You can do it x

Sounds like something I need to read too, thanks for that

Not a weigher either, although sometimes I wish I had a scales because perhaps that would snap me out of my silliness when I on occasion make bad mistakes.

Chunky Madwife & Beaut x I know where you are both coming from being told in one ear to shed the pounds while in the other ear you’re hearing how you need to be fattened up. In my mothers mind VLCDs are even worse than magazine gimmick diets you know the famous people; the Kerry Katona et al...

How are we all doing today? Did any one do anything interesting yesterday?? (assuming you all had the day off). I did nothing apart from clean the house as my OH suffered in not so much silence after his excess on Wednesday night. He's off work again today & getting no sympathy from me. Only...

Hey there one & all wishing you an early Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. Seeing as it is a bank holiday here tomorrow I probably won’t get the chance to lurk as I usually do because I’ll be @ home & my OH will be suspicious. He’s monitoring me very carefully @ the moment because formerly when he...

Dia diabh, came on this thread by chance I'm doing Exante. Just want to say hi really & keep up the downward weight spiral. Are you really a príomhoide, priomhoide?

Thank you for that reply it look like I'll have to go without for a while longer hopefully I'll make it up North over Easter. Look what Exante has done to me I'm going to drive totally out of my way to get a mint chocolate bar!!!

Well done that's totally inspiring for all of us esp those who are trying to decide if they should start with Exante. Wow well done again x

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but needs must... Are the bars you are talking about an ASDA brand or are they the Biggest Loser as in the television programme available in ASDA? See we don't have ASDA here & I've searched all the other supermarkets high & low for these bars to...

Hi there, if you are in Ireland, as Sammeh said it may take longer. I never get emails or an ability to track the parcel, the delivery just arrives. Good luck on your journey.

Hi there have been getting deliveries since August. I've never needed to put a code in. Generally I put 0000 whenever I need a code for shopping online from abroad. Didn't the Green Party promise/threaten us with postcodes though??

Hi there, Only down the road from you. Have no problem ordering Exante but unlike those in England I never get an email to say when delivery is arriving, it varies from order to order could be three to four days. I never seem to get the exchange rate at a good time either last bumper order...

Oh my God I just read that you’d had issues with the Mirena. I had mine in for seven months only cos gyn insisted I keep it for at least six months as it can take time to settle. It was supposed to be my great white hope to help alleviate the pain I suffer with Endometriosis I’ve done everything...

Hey there, how long is your son’s course? I’m devastated for you but you’re only delaying your marriage not cancelling it. Not much consolation I know but… Sorry don’t know what to say to make you feel somewhat better.

Hi there. I was on an (enforced) sabbatical from Exante too. It’s great to see a familiar name. I’ve got a delivery coming tomorrow & it’s the first time they’ve sent me an email about delivery time, imagine that now gets me excited. How sad of me. I’d a few packs left over, so I started on...

I’m a total feeder but I always was. I relax by baking so that has not changed but I just do not lick the spoon anymore.

Haven’t been online in a while because I was off-plan as I was ill in hospital. Back on track now, thnakfully. I've missed Exante & the community. I do not treat myself to mini rewards but I’ve booked a trip to London (never been before staying in Mayfair, which looks nice) & going to Gordon...

Mushroom

She’s clearly jealous of your determined frame of mind. You’ll show her. She’s not really a true friend so enjoy your evening.

Well done everyone on your losses. In regards to sleep at the moment I’ve the other problem I can not sleep at all. On Monday night I was wide awake until five in the morning. I get up at six. I felt so hung over all Tuesday. Never been a good sleeper but definitely feel that since starting...

Wow that’s some loss, well done.

Wow there is a very definite difference. Well done, you must be so proud of yourself. I was not brave enough to take any photos of myself. The last time I had a picture taken was almost two years ago when I got married. We don’t even have a camera I’m so ashamed of my body.

Very best of luck Berryred. If I can do it so can you. I never ever survived Lent before but find this easy & stress free. On the plus side for me yesterday was the day someone noticed a difference. On day 33 now.

Hi there, am on day 30 now. 30 day without anything I was not supposed to have. Glad this section is here. I do not have a problem with sticking to it as I know where I need to be for Christmas. There was a post on CD I think written by a chap who says there are two types of dieters those who...

Honking for yesterday

Mmmm gonna try to that Simples, sounds delish.

Anna you sound like me all my weight goes on my thighs, hips & arse. I’m blessed with the joys of Irish genetics!

Well done 7lbs is great. You should be happier with yourself. It's all going in the right direction.

Honk for yesterday.

Just warm water. When ill a few years ago I was advised to give up caffeine, so I did. God was it a struggle, I love coffee. Having said that I did treat myself to a warm vanilla & coffee shake & I loved it. It’s too cold & wet here to be sipping cold water so I have it warm/lukewarm. It’s all...

Well done, that’s some loss.

Good luck for Monday. Everyone on the forum is v supportive.

Your OH's attitude is reason enough to stick to Exante. I know how you're feeling but don't let it wear you down. It's not easy esp when feeding the masses but it does get easier. Think of how good you'll feel in a few short weeks when you're bagging up all your old clothes cos they are far too...

Well done so far, you've got the right attitude, never again will you have to say those words once you stick to the diet. I'm on day 22 now & it is def easier as you get on. Keep up the great determination & prove to those you'll never say you'll be 5 stone lighter, cos you will be there already.

Honk for yesterday day 21. Time is flying by.

You’re already a beautiful lady.

How awful those kind of people make me seethe with anger. Be proud that you did not attack the junk as a result of his nastiness. People are so strange. Hopefully someone else will swap with you.

Wow a hundred days is amazing. Well done you Great picture. Enjoy trip home.

I totally hear what you’re all saying plus: No one will ask when my baby is due, when I’m not pregnant (unlike last year) Buy lingerie Look good in swimwear (go on holidays - being fat is why we did not go away this year) Fit into designer clothing (will go shopping) Get my mojo back Make my...

I like: Chocolate shake Vanilla shake (with & without coffee) Vegetable soup Toffee, nut and raisin bar Mushroom Soup I dislike: Strawberry Tomato Thai Chicken Chocolate orange bar Banana

I totally agree with Soozyb & the other posters leave her & find some one who knows their stuff. How unprofessional of her. You need to be comfortable with your CDC.

I know you feel it does not seem like a great loss compare to your mammoth loss last week but remember it is all going in the correct direction. You must give yourself credit for your loss regardless of your disappointment. Many others would love that loss a week, as it is not so easy to...

Feel better soon & good luck.

Good luck you'll be fine this is my 1st & only VLCD & so far so good. I'm now on day twenty-one. The time has flown. I'm surprised at how easy I'm finding it. The members here are great for lots of different information. I don't post all that often but I enjoy reading other people's success...

Honking for yesterday day twenty.

Honk for yesterday.

Imagine how great you'll feel when you do weight yourself after such a long time going without. You'll see a great difference. I don't have a scales in my house & it does not bother me really. Never weighed myself except when I get a new gym program made up. Not sure I could face weekly...

Great loss, well done

Congrats on your baby. Well done on your previous loss it proves you can do it again. I'm on day 19 & finding it surprisingly easy so I'm sure you will too. Good luck.

Hi Emma just read your diary from the start well done, truly a great achievement.

Hannah, well done on your great loss. You look amazing.

Honk for today.

Honk for yesterday.

Honking for Friday.

Because you are a good person you feel bad, I do agree with your OH you were not to know, if you did you would have been more accepting of her bad attitude at work. Please do not dwell on it all evening you did nothing wrong.

My most sincere condolences.

Honk for yesterday which was day fifteen. It seems I can not count as I thought yesterday was day fourteen, oh dear. Nice to know I'm further down my journey though.

I only lost the same my first week & three pounds this week. Annoying I know. I am drinking loads cos I never drank anything other than hot water anyway so believe me I do know how frustrated you feel. We'll hopefully just continue to shed the pounds. It is hard to keep your spirits up when all...

At Christmas when you're sitting in your new dress the horrible feelings from today will be long forgotten.

Honking for day fourteen

Oh owup here we go I'll still stay quiet on day fifteen now & no one knows. Maybe cos all my friends are super slim gym junkies I'll stay quiet. I think I can see a difference but no one else has, well they've said nothing. Nice to know my mother is just like all the others & does not hold back...

I also love the Great British Bake Off. Husband just bought me the new Nigella book (to make sure I was quiet while the soccer was on last night!!), which I am loving. Athough I love all the programmes I do not mind not actually eating. I'm still cooking & baking away only now I'm not licking...

Honk for yesterday: day thirteen.

Wow that is great. I'm so happy for you. I feel like a proud mother every time I read of someone's weight loss.

That's great do not lose heart. I lost even less but I'm happy cos it is going in the right direction. We're all different but I know I'd be singing from the roof tops if I lost 8lbs in the month nevermind in the week. Keep up the great work. You can do it.

Just saw your pictures. All I can say is wow, well done, you must be so proud of yourself.

Good luck on your journey. This forum has been a god send to me on my quest to shed the the pounds.

Another day another honk

Eleven days of honking to report. Long may it continue.

Good luck on your journey. Thanks for being so inspirational on this long but never lonely journey due to this site. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks. No I know I will not fail cos I look at my wedding picture very evening & it kinda taunts me. I was a natural 8 for my wedding. I was lucky I did not need to diet up to now. Anyway I look at the photo and I know I'll get back into my clothes soon. Just wondering though if this is going...

People just begrudge others success & happiness. Well I’m Irish & we’re kinda accepting of begrudgery. I truly believe if I tell people they’ll want to see me fail @ this & enjoy my failure, so I’m def keeping silent on this. Luckily I do not have colleagues. People are just mean.

Well GetFitGirl my husband had a hangover on Saturday so was out of sight. Sunday he was playing golf. I'm trying to get him to go out with his co-workers this Friday again. By the time I finish this he'll have a drink problem!!

I haven't said anything to anyone. My husband would be disapproving, although he dieted this year. He lost 4 stone through willpower & exercise the annoying thing about his diet was that he started Christmas week, thus making me feel so guilty when every morsel passed my lips but that did not...

No attention here from men either. My husband has not even noticed I've been doing Exante for a week now. Clearly my weight loss is so small he can't see a thing... yet

Orla 33

I decided to try the warm vanilla latte this evening. Did not think it was all that great, only when I was putting the rubbish out did I notice my latte was made on banana, doh!!

Well done, you must be so pleased with yourself. A real inspiration. I only hope I'll be as successful.

Best of luck. I only started last week & so far so good. I'll be checking in to see how you're getting on. Once more good luck.

Well done on getting back on track. It's certainly not easy but think of how good you’ll look in a few short months. Plus it will be a big two fingers to all those who doubted your ability to stay on task & do this for you. My husband still is unaware I’m doing this but I know he won’t begrudge...

Your losses are amazing & inspiring. Well done. I hope I'm as successful.

I was the same no email, just had a call from the delivery chap. Do not despair.

Thank you all very much. It truly means a lot that people have replied & are on the same mission as me. So far today I've had my chocolate shake, although it was later than I had hoped because my mother arrived over this morning. I lied to her & pretended I’d had my porridge as usual, needs...

Hi there, I thought I’d introduce myself as I’ve spent so long reading everyone’s posts I feel like I know you all. I’m starting on Exante this morning & I’m nervous & kinda excited, having read so many inspiring blogs. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve got endometriosis & as a...
