I must admit Sparkle I am a fan of ww, I lost 21lbs on that before, but I was a lot smaller back then. For me I have so much to lose that the thought of it taking a year I just couldn't handle. I think long term ill move from this to Atkins and then to slimming world, but I want a good few stone...

Sparkle you have done so well has it all been with Exante?

Hey Sage Well day 1-4 was great, I did have a bit of steak on Sun night as a "treat" but that was it. However started to feel really poorly on that night and day 5/6 were terrible. I went to the doctors and i have glandular fever, so feeling pretty bad. Day 5 and 6 I couldnt eat a thing, which...

I've been and got glandular fever :( Not sure if need to come off this until better? Although I won't be eating much as throat feels so sore.

This is say 6 and yesterday and today have been terrible. I can hardly swallow, neck hurts, headache fever of 38.7. Is this just part of this or do I need to get myself to the doctors? I'm sweating and all my joints hurt. I have my little boy here and I'm scared I May collapse

Hi I started today, I feel like you that this has got to work this time. I make excuses all the time but I will do it this time. Again aiming for xmas, then will relook at it afterwards. Im bridesmaid in June and the other two are size 10/12 so I refuse to be the FAT one. Good luck and I hope we...

Sainsburys sparkling strawberry and kiwi has citric acid in, I drank it today and then realised.

Can I have this? I'm sure I read I could, just had some and saw it had citric acid in it. Thanks

Hey all Today is day 1 for me. I'm going to try and keep a daily/ weekly diary to hopefully help if I'm struggling. I took some pictures yesterday but am not going to post them until I see an improvement. So a little about me. I'm a mum to two boys who I had quite close together and since...

Hey all I did exante 2 years ago and lost 2 stone, however then fell preganant and put it all back on plus more. Im now around 18 stone and just hate myself. My little boy is 7 months now and I'm heavier now than I was after I gave birth. I've been asked to be bridesmaid for my best friends...

Yes I lost 16lbs in 2 weeks, so I was pleased with the results, but I could not live like that for a long time. My hubby hated not being able to sit down for a meal together. He likes this one :) Im on the water as I type :) xxx

Ha ha thank you all. Just 2 more questions for now (Sorry :)) Whilst on Exante I was not allowed about diet drinks that contained Citric acid. Is that the case on this diet, as they said it could kick you out of Ketosis? Also if I can have diet drinks, is diet redbull OK once in a while? I...

Thank you. Im feeling much better today. I weighed myself this morning and I have put on 0.5lbs if that, so Im happy. Im just going to eat small portions and let my body get use to eating again. I checked Ketosis this morning and I am definitely in it, so again all positives. Vicky not...

Hey all Well I'm on day 2 of Atkins from a VLCD and last night I had tummy ache after eating my dinner, and again tonight I do :( Last night I had chicken in bacon, and roasted mushrooms and asparagus. Tonight I had chicken curry (Bit of cream, onions, mushrooms and spices) and cauliflower...

You sound just like me. I go from starving myself to binge eating. Its so unhealthy, and although its only day 2, I'm really enjoying this and feeling good. xxx

Oh and I completely understand the :( over eating all this food. I felt so guilty at first and still do a bit, but I'm not actually eating that much, just b'fast, lunch and dinner. No snacks which for me is very good. I have a good 3-4 stone to lose really. I lose a stone in 2 weeks on Exante...

The reason I changed from a VLCD was because my husband did not like me not eating. I have a 4 mouth old son that I am running around after and he just felt i needed more. Also Atkins is more a way of life and thats what i need. I need to change my eating habits completely. I would not eat all...

Good Luck. Im on my second day after doing a VLCD, but this seems so much better for me. Keep us updates with your weight loss hun. I also want to lose about the same amount of weight. We can be weight loss buddies :) xxx

Good Luck. I have come over from a VLCD and I had all of your concerns as well, but I think even if I put on a few lbs in the first week, I should be ok afterwards, and well to be able to eat food is just amazing. You can get the Ketostix from any chemist, but be careful as Boots refused to sell...

Thank you so much. Well I'm going to give it a go. Ive got Chicken wrapped in bacon, with roasted courgette, asparagus and mushrooms for tea? Ive ordered the book, so that should help. I'm already in Ketosis so do you think I would still need to do the induction? I've just got to get my head...

Thank you. I have woken up today and really feel like starting Atkins this weekend. I just dont want to put on lots of weight before xmas. If I will put on a bit of weight to start with thats fine, but I would prefer to wait until I had lost a little bit more if that is the case. So any advice...

I posted before about thinking of coming over to Atkins after doing Exante. Well I'm going to make the move from next Friday. If I follow the Atkins diet, do you think I may put on weight to start with? Obviously I will be eating a lot more, and higher calories, such as cream, cheese etc. I...

Thank you. Yes that is something I have considered. See even maybe just 3 or 4 nights a week I could have a low carb dinner. I do want fast weight loss and well after a stone off in 11 days I know this works, I'm just not sure how long I can do it for. I think I am best to take one day at a time...

:( So I have lost 14lbs in 11 days and I'm so happy about that, but I got looking at some old pictures today and then some recent ones, and well I think I am a lot bigger than I realised. In my "small" pictures I felt fat then, but I would do anything to get back to that size. I thought...

How are you getting on? xxx

Good luck. xxx

Wine???? Really, oh well thats won me over. I love a glass of wine and I really miss it. I have lost a stone so far, so I only want to lose 1 or 2 more, and I think I need to address my eating habits as well, and obviously I cant go eating soup and shakes forever (I would go mad). I really do...

Thanks everyone. You all seem very friendly here which is lovely. My hubby is just getting fed up with me not eating with him, which I can understand and he worries about me, lol. He has a wheat and gluten allergy anyway so bread, pasta, etc are off our menus normally, so I'm hoping I would be...

Yes I have. It does sound too goo to be true, food!!! lol. But I have looked at people loses and they are great. I think I'll get onto Amazon and order a book. Thank you, and well done you have done so well and I cant believe you have been on it so long, I suppose it just becomes a way of life...

Well I have another 2ish weeks of shakes and soups left, but I really do think I will start Atkins. I'm going to order a book, and do a bit of research. My only worry is with the shakes and soups I know where I am. I'm worried on Atkins I'll eat something I shouldn't and throw myself out of...

Hello I'm just looking for a bit of advice. I am currently on Exante and doing well (lost 14lbs in 10days) but I do miss food. I have a months supply so I will continue, but I am thinking maybe Atkins would be the way forward. I would already be in Ketosis, so how easy a swap do you think...

Good luck hun, I will be looking out for your loses. xxx

Well done. xxx

Wow you have done so well. I have been reading lots of stories and it does really help. I had a little boy 4 months ago, so I'm trying to shift the baby weight, although my hubby isn't that keen and I think its for reason you said with your girlfriend. I have never really been slim since meeting...

Jools I have just been reading the success stories with pics and they have really helped me. You have done so well, but don't let food win again. You can do this. Measure if you don't have scales hun, or go to boots and weigh there, I think its about 20p a time. Good luck xxx

I changed all of my settings so no one could see any of the pictures I use to be tagged in. Although you should not be ashamed of them. Its just shows how far you have come. xxx

Been there, done that. My hubby is the same and can eat what he wants, but that doesn't help us does it. I often go for a bath when he is eating. He also goes on about how nice it was, and sometimes I think he is winding me up, but I'm sure its just me being over sensitive. Stick with it hun. I...

I have just cooked a muffin with my strawberry shake. I hate the shake normally but the muffin was amazing, it was so nice and warming. I also tried the crisps which again were great. I was going to have a treat tomorrow and have a very low cal meal, chicken and x 2 veg but I dont think I will...

Well done that is fab. My WI tomorrow but its TOTM so people have suggested i dont weigh until next week, but I know I'll struggle. xxx

Oh what I would do for a meal today. Hubby has just sat next to me eating his and I found it hard. I hope it is just because its my TOTM as I was doing so well. I keep saying to myself that I can have some chicken and veg on Sat as a treat, just got to get there day by day. xxx

Woo hoo a trip to Asda tomorrow then. I never thought I would get so excited over a bottle of fizzy drink, lol. xxx

OK ladies I'll stay away :( Its just its my first week so I was really looking forward to weighing on Friday, but I suppose I'll just keep going and then look at my weight loss after 2 weeks. Hopefully Ill get a pleasant surprise. :) xxx

This one is for the ladies out there. I'm in my first week of Exante and was doing so well losing 9lbs in 3 days and then my TOTM hit. This is my first one since having my little boy 16 weeks ago, so as you can imagine its very heavy (sorry TMI) and I'm all bloated etc. Now since this started I...

That is fantastic. You were hoping to be in the 13's, you are now nearly in the 12's. xxx

Wow that is fab. Well done. How can I see your before and after pics? Thats if you dont mind of course :) xxx

Thats fantastic. Well done xxx

I agree. It would just be nice to have a little fish and veg on the occasion if needed :) xxx

Oh wow thats great, good to know. i had a look in the handbook, and it does look a lot that I would be able to eat (or maybe I am reading it wrong, lol) 1 portion of protein 4 portions of veg or salad 1 portion of fruit 1 portion of dairy This seems a lot? Would I be better just having the...

Wow Starlight you are my inspiration. You have achieved so much. Well done xxx

I am currently doing TS, and enjoying it and seeing good results. My question is if on a Saturday I wanted to have a dinner (WS) how much of a difference to my weight loss would this cause? In the handbook it says with WS you can expect to lose 10lbs a month, and thats by having a meal a...

Wow that is fantastic well done. xxx

It is amazing, my husband has just poured me a glass, its so sweet, its like liquid syrup, yummy. We got a large bottle from Tescos.

Ha ha glad you are enjoying it. Im going to have my Dr pepper Zero soon, with loads of ice, Mmmm. Dubsndice good luke. I am on day 5 and im actually enjoying it. xxx

That is just fab, thank you so much. xxx

Ha ha yes, lol. Thank you so much thats put my mine at ease. Maybe I should double check Zero Dr Pepper before I indulge. xxx

Here you go http://www.minimins.com/all-about-w8/73127-dr-pepper-zero-coke-zero-allowed.html Its W8? Whats this? Is it still a VLCD? Oh I get so confused, maybe I should just stick to my 3 packs a day, lol xxx

Thank you ladies. I was worried I had buggered up all my hard work, over 2 cans of coke that were great anyway, lol. It was on here, or CD. Someone said they asked their consultant, and she said both were fine, upto one a day. Ive just brought a bottle of Dr Pepper Zero and it has no citric...

Oh no. I read on here it was ok, along with Dr Pepper Zero. Is this right or wrong?!?!?!

Hello all I am on day 5, and have stuck to this diet religiously. The only thing I have had was 2 cans of Coke Zero over the weekend. I have lost 9lbs so far and am really impressed, esp because its TOTM and my first after having my 16 week old baby. Anyway I have not really found it too bad...

Well done xxx

You can have flavoured water from Tescos. I got the apple one at the weekend. its not great, but its something different. xxx

My hubby sat eating pate. I just love the stuff and after just having a baby and finally being able to eat it, it was very tempting to snatch it off him and eat it, lol. so I came on here, I'm only on day 4 (going well 8lb off so far) I always come on here if I'm struggling a bit, its great to...

I never received a booklet of any documents when I ordered. Would someone be so kind as to let me know what you can have in your 5th week. Is it similar to CD? I have a while until Im there but it would be good to know. xxx

I have had all of my shakes half a pack at a time. I just find a full one too thick, so I have half with about 200ml of water, some coffee and loads and loads of ice. Its lovely. I had chocolate and coffee today, it was fantastic. I also had my first trip to Tescos today, I was dreading it esp...

You have done great. I would love to say Ive lost 23lbs in a month. You must be feeling better in yourself and clothes less tight? Well done xxx

Hey all Ive just had my second half of vanilla mixed with coffee and ice, and oh my god I love it. I would drink it if I was not on this diet. Ive never really been a big coffee/tea drinker but I was thinking, if I made 1/4 of a vanilla pack up in the blender, and added it to a black coffee...

Thank you all so much. Day one is going OK. I had the strawberry shake for breakfast, it wasn't great, but OK. Then half the soup and half an orange bar for lunch and I have the same for dinner. I have put on another post about my friends and family not being very supportive, so its great to...

So I started this morning and so far so good. I decided to break my soup into 2 portions and my bar into 4 smaller portions to eat throughout the day. Is this OK? I have a 16 week old baby so I'm running around a lot of the day so its nice to be able to grab something quick like a piece of bar...

Hey all Well today I ordered my kit to arrive tomorrow, so I will officially start tomorrow and I cant wait. I have a 16 week old little boy and although I didn't put too much weight on during my pregnancy I still have a good 6-7 stone to lose. I have ordered a months supply and I will take...
