    Don't be hard on yourself, it's so tough at this time of year to 'diet', everyone is eating, drinking and partying and the weather is freezing so you feel you need more calories on board as well. I feel if I can just maintain it until the middle of Jan (I have another party on 7th and my b'day...

    inbetween sizes and fed up

    I'm a size 16 and weigh 12 and a half stones, I was an 18 when I was 14 stones. I wonder when I will be a 14 or even a 12!!? It's so hard to tell isn't it and even when people are the same height and weigh the same they can look so different. How much have you lost since people at Uni last saw...

    Thats weird Spyro, your comment is mixed with a previous quote made by me a while ago? computer mayhem! I think 4 packs on LL is a good idea as they are only 150 calories each compared to Exante's 220 ish. I am feeling a bit better today and have already lost the 3lb I put on :-) Haven't...

    How important is food to you?

    Good thinking Angie, it sounds like the beginning of a plan to me. I will go and read your blog for more details. I was thinking about this last night, the importance of food that is. Food is always central to any celebration (or commiseration) to me. Whenever someone mentions a nice...

    why isnt this working for me ???

    Oh Mel, that's really awful, I do feel for you as the same thing happened to me last week and I'd stuck to it all week apart from one meal out. Was this your first week on Exante? Did you drink enough water, as I know I didn't on the week I didn't lose? Did you exercise too much as you...

    No Froth No lump Soup??

    Mine is not too frothy using my battery powered whisk, as long as I keep the whisk below the surface of the soup. If you let it rise to the top it froths the top of the soup. Although it's not great with froth, it still tastes the same so I ignore it. I wouldn't skim the surface off as that is...

    You can test your wee with urine testing sticks or just believe you are when you have a funny taste in your mouth and bad breath!! Generally you start to feel less hungry and have more energy once in ketosis, I believe. Well thats how its been for me anyway :)
  247. susie-slimmer
