Lol yeah. I was bit concerned in retrospect that people would think i was a minister from the North East lol. So what server, race and class are you? I played wow for 4 years, but just stopped a few months ago. Cata not doing much for me and the 'Kung Fu Panda' expansion not enticing me either lol.

Not been too bad, but i've just been taking it a day at a time. Though i know deep down i have a lot longer to go. If i kept thinking in terms of months - i just wouldn't manage lol.

I would like that very much. Good to meet someone at the exact same stage as myself. How are you finding it so far? xx

Well i'm on day 4 today. Have been 100% and looking forward to weigh in. Feel like i am in ketosis coz my mouth tastes bogging - 'tastes like pear drops' pfft - it's like no pear drop i've ever tasted. However, i still have quite a rumbly tummy. Is this normal? Does it still do that in...

You have a similar weight to me! It's a daunting thought, huh?

Wow - great weight loss! Well done xx

I have three kids and i hate going shopping. I always feel like it's a waste of time. I often get an online shop and have it delivered. Not everyone's cup of tea, but i like it!

I am exactly the same with the scales! I weigh every day and i know i shouldn't. I get so frustrated if it has gone up. I know exactly how you feel. If you've been sticking though it's more than likely something to do with the water balance and should even itself out by your official weigh in...

A great loss and excellent that you've been going for so long. Inspiring stuff! :D

I am TERRIBLE for going on the scales all the time. Not even once a day - sometimes 2 or 3 times. I don't know why i do it to myself coz if i see a STS or a gain (even if i know it's water), i get really scunnered. Once i weighed myself midweek and lost 2lbs, but by the time i got to weigh day...

I have loads to lose too - it's a thought isn't it? I'm going to aim for 12 weeks and see how i go. Usually i complain about how fast time is going by - so i just hope i feel the same after doing this for 12 weeks :)

These diets are very difficult, but you have come so far already. To have 4 weeks at 100% is a huge achievement. You should be proud of yourself. When i'm struggling i remind myself that it's not forever :hug99:

I'm a student midwife and when i'm working the labour suite and wards are always full of chocolate and cakes that families leave. Very hard for me to resist as i have a particular weakness for cake (especially a nice sponge). :o

Hi all. Thought i would write a wee diary to try and keep me on the straight and narrow. I started exante ts on Sunday the 29th so i'm now on day 3. So far so good. I have already lost 12lbs this year by following Scottish Slimmers, but i wanted to lose weight a bit more quickly. So that's...

12lbs is an excellent first loss - well done!

Well done! Can't wait until it's my first weigh in :D

Well done! I hope i can make it to day 20 (and beyond hopefully) :happy096:

I was actually quite surprised with the shakes, they're not too bad - better than other vlcd shakes that i've tried. I like them all, but i do like making a coffee with the vanilla :coffee:

Lol - you're right - it doesn't give much away does it? I'm originally from Aberdeen, but live in Moray now :bolt:

I think part of the problem was simply cravings - i didn't feel hungry, but i gave into cravings. The second reason was that i had got to day 5 and had a sneaky peak at the scales - i discovered i had lost 5lbs and felt really disheartened. I know it's a good loss, but i thought as it was my...

Well done on a good choice made and roll on ketosis! x

Well, today was my first day of exante. I wish i could say it was my first attempt at Exante, but i'd be lying. I have tried most vlcd diets before and have never made it past the first week :ashamed0005: I managed today ok, although i need to find a way to increase my water intake. I am...

I plan to use 'Retardex' spray. Heard it's quite good and i would like something portable :o

Hiya. I'm in my first week of Xenical too. Day 4. I'm a bit confused about suffering side effects 2-3 days after you've eaten something bad. When i collected the pills from the chemist, the pharmacist told me they only work on the meal that you take them with. Is this wrong?

Hi all. Have been looking at other peoples diaries and thought it would be good idea for me to have one. I'm hoping it will give me something to do when i can't stop thinking about food. I'm 26, i'm married and have 3 children. I'm also studying to become a midwife. So i thought i would make...

Well done you! xx

Today is good for me because it's my first day on exante and hopefully the start of me becoming healthier :)

Lol - isn't that always the way. I think i've talked myself into watching it too :D

Thanks again for the advice. Now to decide when to go for my first 'run'. I am a bit worried about peeps looking at me huffing and puffing away.

You must have an iron will - well done :)

Yum lol x

May i ask what your starting weight was?

Wow - well done. I hope i have the same results as you!

Thanks for the advice :)

Yeah, a bit of both would be good :) Not sure what the carb count on a Brad Pitt would be - i know the toast would be bad though lol.

I like that you can't talk about food in the TS section. It makes me think of f**d club. 'The first rule of f**d club is you don't talk about f**d, the second rule is...' etc etc :D All we need now is Brad Pitt ;)

I think you do about 30 mins 3 times a week. It basically takes you from no running to running 5k over 9 weeks.

This made me LOL! It's so true :D

I know exante say to do 20 mins exercise a day, but would it be advisable to start the NHS couch to 5k programme? I'm thinking of trying this.

I also started today! Woot!

Thanks for being so welcoming! It's so helpful to meet others doing the same thing as myself. xx

Well done on your weight loss so far! That's a fantastic start - hope i do as well :)

Is there any way to know you're in ketosis without buying the stix?

Well Done!!! I must remember to take my measurements :)

Hi All. Been lurking on the boards for a while now, but have finally plucked up the courage to start exante. So i thought i should introduce myself. Hi *waves* It's my first day today and i'm just having the vanilla with coffee and it's really nice :) Looking forward to my first WI and...

What a difference! That's fantastic. Well done. xx

Well done!

That's what the biscuits want you to think - don't succumb to them! Maybe you could look at the before/after pics and remind yourself why you're doing exante. As for the chewing, well, what about freezing some flavoured water (the kind you're allowed) and having an icicle?

Gratz :)

Gratz :)

Good luck! xx

Thanks again - i appreciate the advice :) xx

Well done. That's fantastic! x

Thanks so much xx

Hi All. I'm planning to order the bulk pack of shakes from Exante. I did fancy the pack with the bars, but i know i won't enjoy the soups, so...my question is if i order the shakes pack can i swap out one shake per day for one of the tesco bars? If so, what is the exact name of the bars...

Hello Peeps. I wondered if you could offer me some advice. A while back i tried CD and unfortunately i never made it past day 5. I never felt hungry, but i just couldn't ward off the cravings. Anyway, i wanted to try a VLCD again, but i'm a bit unsure how to proceed. I'm scared that if i try...
