DAY 10 Very pleased with a 7lb loss today. Its 10 days not 7 remember but really nice nevertheless. :)

I've had nowhere near the losses that you have but I agree with you there. I lost 20lbs during Jan/Feb this year and came back last week after a good 6 months of eating whatever I liked (and a holiday) and only gaining 3lbs. I kept an eye on my weight during this time, but I was suprised that...

DAY 7 I would usually weigh in after 7 days and updat my tickers but I thought it might be better for me to do it every 10 days instead.. so i'll be back at the weekend with the result! :o

Yeah thats the same picture! It must be the 'after' picture because for the before pictures they choose the ones that make the people look particularly horrible I think. :rolleyes: :)

Im glad im not the only one! :) I'll take a look at this link x

There SO many of you that could do this! Submit Your Success Story Go on! I'd love to see a forumer feature on the website! :)

Ive just been looking at some pictures on this site.. do you think the sizing is American and not the same as UK? Everyone my weight (160lbs) says pant size 10! That cant be right, surely? :confused:

Welcome to the forum :)

Day 4 Day 4 and im still on the waggon :D Not finding it too bad to get back into. I definitely didnt drink enough water yesterday so I need to sort that out. Also tried the tomato soup. The first few spoonfuls werent too bad but I couldnt even finish it in the end... it made me feel...

I think we just dont realise what a massive part food/drink plays in our lives. My OH has decided to give up drinking for the month and last night we were just sat there going, 'How dull are Saturday nights without a glass of wine and some nice nibbles'! I realised today how much I liked do...

I can't say I follow working or simple.. I just have 2 shakes a day and a meal. I don't go over 600 calories in the food meal. Sometimes it's less than. For me personally I can lose weight this way and still be fairly satisfied which is the most important thing to me. Are you struggling with...

Wow! Well done!

Day 1 So, end of day 1.. A strawberry shake this morning and a banana one for dinner. Just had a lovely chicken and salad tea. :) Im craving something sweet as thats kind of the routine ive gotten myself in over the last few months but i'm being good and i might just have a tea with...

Really? But oh my gosh, look at your weight loss! :eek: I wish I weighed the same!

Well its been a while but im here again to finally get to my 10st goal. I've 23lbs to go so its back on the shakes to shift it! :) Im going to try and post in here everyday, please dont feel obliged to pop in, its just a way I can track what i've had or where i've gone wrong if I need a kick...

Good golly. :eek: Well done!

I dont think you've messed up at all. Infact I think youve been amazing good considering you're ill! Someone will correct me if im wrong but i think the only reason you shouldnt drink it is that it can knock you out of ketosis - but you dont have to be in ketosis to lose weight - it just...

*high fives* :D

So the plan is im going to weigh in the same spot and use something board-like thats fairly thick underneath. As a few of you said.. as long as im consistent in where I do it it should still give me accurate loss results. Thanks guys. :) xx

I try to weigh with no clothes on so that should give the neighbours a shock! :eek::D

*giggles* :D

I thought exactly this too! I dont know about te glue but, good idea :) Really? Ok, I'll give it a go!

Does anyone else have the trouble that their floors are uneven and you cant get a proper reading from your scales? We moved to an old bungalow a few months ago and I get a different reading from every part of the floor.. as much as 6lbs different! I've been doing SW for a while and when ive...

Thank you very much! Amazing loss btw! :eek:

Oh no! I hope you didnt change it because of me :(

I reckon once you start seeing the results you can achieve you'll glug these down with no bother! :D Like everyone else says.. we're all so different. Having the vanilla ones hot with coffee is a god send to some people but for me.. YUK! It was horrible! And I cant stand the chocolate ones...

And in SO little time! Well done :D

Exactly! Im glad im not the only one! Look at your loss :eek: Amazing!

And we're both from South Yorkshire! How freaky! But nice to meet you hun :)

Thank you! Fab weight loss there lady! :)

Thank you! And oh my gosh look at your weight loss :eek: Well done!

It has indeed - and gave me confidence that if i lose the weight this way im not going to just pile it back on again! Thanks! :)

Morning team! Im back here with my tail between my legs after a long break from Exante. I started Exante at new year and managed to drop 21lbs. I had a bit of a break from dieting altogether, but recently joined SW to try and reach my goal. BUT.. its just not working for me. Im almost 8 weeks...

Why do you want to come off it Lenni?

Also, give the Exante shakes more than one chance. I hated them in my first week but then I actually started to like them. good luck.

Isnt it just COMMON SENSE that a company like Exante arent going to say its fine to use other products? YES, Exante works but at the end of the day its a business. Same as Boots wouldnt send you to Superdrug! If you compare an Exante bar and a BL bar side by side they're different by the...

What a lovely post Bernice. You deserve this so much, really pleased for you. :)

Massive well done! Ive just ben looking at your pictures and I really cant believe how much youve achieved in such a realitively short space of time! Inspiring! xx

Well im a serial weigher (!) you see but officially I weigh in on Monday mornings. I was 164lbs on Sunday night and Monday my period arrived and I was 162 lb.. and this morning 161.2! But its not just this month, it happens every month. But I know by Friday i'll have 'gained' it again and be...

Am I the only person that always weighs less during a period? :confused:

I managed to buy sweets and treats for my OH last night (hes under the weather), and I had nothing myself. I really have no idea where im getting this strength from - its never happened to me before! Id have easily caved by now usually! :D

Hiya, welcome! Yep, I do WS. I have only been doing the diet for 4 weeks but im finding it really easy to stick to. You'll find a way of balancing your shakes so that you arent feeling hungry for long periods of time and if you do it to the book, you should get in the ketosis zone and not feel...

Urgh. TOTM. I feel like i've been pulling an Elephant. :( Paracetomol..

Thats excellent Laura, and congrats on the engagement! :D

Well done Jan! Dont be a stranger though :)

Indeed. And well done yourself! I've been keeping tabs on you. ;):)

Week 4 weigh-in -1lb :( Obviously hoped for more, but. I went to the gym on Saturday and realised how incredibly unfit I am. Will try and go at least twice a week to see if it kickstarts my losses a bit more. Well done everyone else! :)

Well done hun. :D

Im also learning this lesson the hard way. :rolleyes::D

Happy birthday! :)

Im going to stay realistic and go for 8lbs which would put me at 160lbs. I'd be happy with that. :) Cybil - 14lbs Chunky Madwife - 10lbs Dutch - 14lbs Mia - 10lbs Chickadee1976 - 14lbs Maximoo - 14lbs JoanneM - 14lbs Kae - 14lbs Aktrs - 14lbs Lisy - *Joanne* - 10lbs Crystal - 12lbs Hadl86...

Banana and coffee? Ooh. Id have never though of that. I know its popular to put coffee in the vanilla on here but I tried it once and it was the most vile thing ive ever had! On my first day on exante I almost didnt carry on! :D

Ahh right yeah. Corr, I bet its tough! Shes a machine! Ive never got on with usual exercise dvds- they tend to be like dance routines and my coordination is horrendous. Whats the format of this one like? xx

I keep reading about this... is it a dvd..?

Joanne, im having the same problem! The chocolate is always last to go for me, but ive started 1/2 and 1/2 with the choc and banana and its really nice. Maybe give that a go too? xx

Congratulations!! :D

Thanks for your replies everyone! You're all right though. 2lbs a week is brilliant and to be honest, its not like its massively hard work. And I probably spend much more per week on food, so..? Im off to the gym today.. I havent done any exercise for a while so i'll see if it gives me a...

On Monday i'll have completed 4 full weeks of being on Exante. I know we all lose weight at different speed but to you - how much weight per week is not enough to make it worthwhile? I had a good 2 weeks - a 5lb and a 3lb, but last week only managed 2lbs.. and this week so far theres only 1lb...

Wow, brilliant post Cybill. :)

Welcome! Best of luck with it. :)

Massive well done. Such an inspiration. :D:D

High fibre bars do this to me too! I was a bit scared when it first happened. :rolleyes: Its a rotton feeling. Like swallowing a lava lamp. :(

Dont give up petal. It'll even out, im sure. xx

It was very brave to come and tell us all that Enzo. Good luck with your Exante journey and dont forget we're here to help if you need us. :)

Week 3 Weigh-in Well after yesterday disappointing preview my body has kicked itsself into gear over night and I managed 2lbs! :) (I checked 3 times!) So im not going to argue with it, i'll just have a good week this week and try to up my water intake. It also means my ticker is in double...

:eek: Wow! Excellent loss matey! Heres to another brilliant week! ;)

You tease! *runs over to diary*

Oh really? Thanks Toots. That has made me feel better actually. :-) Xx

It's still looking pitiful. :-( Less than a pound. Will post in the morning officially... Hope the rest of you are doing better! Xx

DAY 18 I had a sneaky weigh this morning. Really disappointed that i've lost less than a pound so far. :( Monday is weigh in day so I shouldnt fret about it quite yet, but. For God's sake body - BURN THE FAT. :rolleyes:

Hope it works out for you Joanne. And even if you only maintain - you know Exante can give you the results you want and you can come back to it anytime. Hope you wont leave the Exante boards. xx

Huge deal hun. Well done. xx

I stepped away from them! I went for a walk instead. :D Thank you both ;) xx

Welcome! Fabulous loss, well done xxx

Im just reviving this thread because ive been really missing savoury after having the shakes. Its a god send, it really is! So nice! A bit too salty (they didnt have low salt when I went) but a cup of this is going to see me through just fine between shakes. :) Id recommend it. xx

Fully agree with you QB :D

DAY 17 Im really struggling today. Its dinnertime and people around me have got chips. :( I wont have them because im far too determined still, but. Way to make me break guys. :rolleyes: *Goes for shake*

I only started on the 4th Jan and i'm at 8.5 lbs. I think 10lbs is realistic - and any more is a bonus. xx

I dont know for certain but I was thinking that if you're just having fluids for weeks on end without digesting any foods then it might be to prevent problems with your intestine/bowels? Its my theory anyway. :)

Rach have you thought about switching to simple or working solution? I know its a faster loss on TFR but if it makes you binge because you miss food then its a bit of a false economy? I've been really happy on WS and just think its a brilliant compromise? (If you make the right choices :) )

Week 2 weigh-in 3.5lbs! Im a tiny bit disappointed as this was my weight on Friday night so I hoped i'd be able to get a littttle bit more off, but. Maybe its a head start for next week? Well done to everyone, some fab losses. :)

I must have had a moment when I wrote my target last week.. It said '15lbs' to go! My January target is 14lb?! Hehe, Oh well, i've updated. :rolleyes: :D Cybill - 14lb - 9lbs lost, 5lbs to go Teetiefunk- 14lb - 12.5lbs lost 1.5lbs to go Poppygirl - 28lb Chubbzey - 14lb Kenshin112 - 28lb...

Thanks Joanne! I've done nothing but hop on and off those bloody scales all weekend. :rolleyes: I'ts looked good - then bad - then good - so im giving them a miss until tomorrow morning like I should have done in the first place! My flatmate is having toasted tea cakes. They smell SO good. :(

DAY 12 Its Friday! Yay! :D I was naughty today. I had a sneak preview on the scales and im 3lbs down and have the whole weekend to go before Mondays weigh in! I hope its not a horrible trick my scales are playing on me! :D

What an awful article. :mad: If they did a shred of research they'd see that these plans are more nutritionally complete than some peoples actual eating diets? So what if its in liquid form if your body gets everything it needs? :rolleyes: Boycott it for sure toots. :) xx

Wow! 9lbs! Amazing result! Look forward to seeing your losses MB :)

Good luck on your journey BB... it'll get easier. xx

Nice one Laura! Heres to another good week *raises glass (of water)* :)

Best of luck SJ. You know from doing LL the first week is the worst but once you see your first loss it'll spur you on. Hope you stayed strong xx

Everything Laura said really! Theres alot of 'new' people here (me included) and its such a lovely supportive forum i'm sure you'll find it so helpful. xx Welcome!

Aww you're just lucky that hes doing it too... and he knows how it feels. I got really snappy at the weekend with my boyfriend too as he decided we should eat out on a Saturday without booking anything first (:rolleyes:) and it obviously resulted in us not eating till gone 9 o'clock? Its ok...

Aww Sammy I just saw your post about your ex.. really glad you told him where to get off. Good on you lady. xxx

Absolutely astounded by all your pictures :eek::eek: Fabulous. xx

DAY 9 Just popping in to see how everyone is getting on and really pleased that not too many people are disappointed this week. Great start to the new year people! :D This does seem to be getting easier for me. Im not sure im in Ketosis because I AM still having very minimal carbs in my...

Well done on your weigh in :D

You look fabulous. Thanks for posting these. :)

My first weigh in was 5lbs but im on working solution. The TR people usually lose lots more. xx

Agree with everyone else... it could have been so much worse! Well done for being strong xx

It wont let me look at your pictures? Maybe because I dont have enough posts still but a massive well done on reaching 100lbs! :D

Fab loss! :D

Thank you girls! :) Really? Thanks for letting me know, there doesnt seem to be many people doing WS and I keep seeing these HUGE losses on TS so I didnt really know if it was good or bad. :)

Week 1 Weigh-in Im really happy to have lost 5lbs today! There are much bigger losses from others but I dont feel like ive been deprived (doing the working solution) and ive been enjoying it all in all, so heres to another good week. From reading other peoples diaries it seems the 2nd wekk...

:eek: Amazing loss Joanne!! Cant wait to see you pictures and really hope you get your 100lbs award tomorrow xx

I cant wait to weigh in tomorrow - i'll report in first thing! :D MASSIVE well done to those who've already weighed in... incredible losses :D:eek:

Yep, for sure Joanne. Its so hard to avoid the carbs isnt it? Especially when you eat out because its hard to put a meal together without them! :rolleyes:

Well done, thanks for coming to tell us.. so inspiring xx

(Laughed far too much at that :D )

DAY 6 Its day 6! Wow! I had a bit of a blip last night.. well. Not a 'blip' as such but we'd stayed home all week and OH really wanted to eat out. So what a nightmare! We went to TGI Fridays and I managed to resist all the yummy sugary cocktails and have lime and soda water instead. To...

My 'want to but cant' shop is Jane Norman. Gorgeous stuff if you're a size 12 or less. :sigh:

DAY 4 Well yesterday went ok. I had my shakes and then a bit of steak with an egg and some salad in the evening. Enjoyed it. I think whats bothering me so far is that im so bored of the shakes. I love savoury - so I need to get some soups ASAP but I really cant afford to get them right now...

I've been doing the working solution and finding ok actually. Im only on day 4 so I cant really comment on the difference between TS + WS? I just didnt feel ready to give up on food altogether straight away. I weigh in on Monday morning.. im so anxious about the results! :p

Ahh I see. Thanks. :) I dont mind too much because although im only on day 2, ive not felt hungry at all so far, so... it probably cant get any better for me at the moment anyway. I can see from other peoples posts that day 3-5 are usually the hardest so- fingers crossed :)

Hope so.. i've never looked forward to a monday so much! :p Thanks toots xx

Can someone give me advice too? If im following the working solution where im having the shakes and a meal - will I ever be in ketosis or is that only possible if youre doing the total replacement? :confused:

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it :D

DAY 2 Im so glad to be snugged up on the sofa! I've just watched Fat Families. I actually cried. :rolleyes: And now im watching '1/2 ton teen'. My god, Living TV is depressing! I've had 2 shakes today and my tea has been roasted peppers stuffed with chicken, onions and sweetcorn. (Very...

Ooh, i'll add Canderel + cinammon to my shopping list! :) Has anyone done 1/2 and 1/2? I thought 1/2 choc 1/2 vanilla might be quite nice.

Let us know how Zumba goes tonight Bernice :)

HONK. 2 days! (But only because my OH stole the batteries to fit some tool or other he needs. :rolleyes: )

I've only being doing Exante 2 days and to be honest.. im not finding the shakes 'enjoyable' but if its the way to a Size 12 then im happy to do it :D Just think that nothing tastes as bad as beeing fat feels..? :p Theres some good tips in here about making them taste different so i'll try the...

Ahh, Joanne you're so right! Haha! And also.. its now 1.30 and im still alive! Only 3 more hours to go! :D

DAY 2 Im already having the worst day ever. OH kept me awake all night last night snoring. I finally gave up at 2.30 and went down on to the sofa but I tossed and turned until 5 ish and had to get up for work. Im sat here at my desk wondering how on earth im going to pick myself up as right...

Amazing, SO well done! :D

DAY 1 Good evening.. thanks for your replies wishing me well! Lovely. :) I've had a nice day today. I didnt get up till gone 11, had a hot vanilla shake with a spoon of coffee (as recomended!) and it wasnt at all awful, so.. so far so good. I've spent the day wandering round the shops and...

Have you tried all 3? What was the weight loss variance? Did you struggle with recipe ideas? Im deciding which to follow at the moment. I do think id struggle with the total replacement - BUT does anyone see any problems with mixing it up? For instance, if I choose to follow the working...

Gosh thats a really great loss!! Why did you leave LL? The cost? It seems most people are switching for that reason. Theres no better way to perk yourself up though.. deleting the past!

Welcome Andy... good luck with Exante. Dont beat yourself up too much about your slip up... just get back on track, you cant change it. :)

Hi Lucy Ahh, thats a great idea, checking in from your bed! :D Mmm, yeah im really positive, at the minute and seeing everyone else so excited about starting and doing well really helps to focus you doesnt it? Have you always done exante? Your profile shows youve been on the forum a...

Yep, I dont think the milk is particularly great for you.. although its so cheap to do, its not really the healthiest? And I dont think you achieve ketosis at all while you're doing it - you sort of just learn to cope dont you? :rolleyes:

Yea, I'm starting too! I feel like the new kid going to big school! :D

Good luck Laura... Im sure you'll achieve it! :) X

Sorry to hear about your Gran. You'll do her proud! Good luck xx

Well guys, Exante starts for me tomorrow. I've done slim fast in the past which didnt work well for me, but after doing more research on it - I now know why Exante will be MUCH more effective and better for me! Im using this thread as a place to come when im feeling happy.. sad.. inspired...

Oh I seeee. That wasnt clear - it was driving me insane! :D Not a problem.. im sure i'll hit the magic number soon. Until then i'll spare you my mug shot :)

Thank you everyone! Im trying to add an avatar picture.. im not new to this at all but when i go to edit avatar in my profile, its selected as 'do not use an avatar' but theres no option to add one? Has anyone else had the same trouble or know how I can add one?

Hi Blossom and everyone else thats new to the site! My Exante journey starts tomorrow.. (its my birthday today and im NOT going to stuff my face but a slice of cake would be nice, no? ;) ) so im just popping on here to say hello and look at starting my diary. Im really excited and hope we...

Thanks given Joanne + GFG.. I'll keep my £99.96 until I run out.. :D
