Day 28 Ohhhh so close!!!! Lost 4lbs this week which I'm happy with, that's 27lbs down in exactly 4 weeks just 1lb short of the big 2 stone! I started on exante on 6th Jan so I'll be interested to see where I can get to after a complete calendar month which will be Sunday. Exante boast a...

Congratulations Laura!

Day 21 - 1230 It's been a difficult week and there have been a couple of slips. Earlier on in the week I dipped into the Foxs biscuit barrel and pinched 1 biscuit and followed it up with a pack of salt and vinegar Mcoys later that night. Over the weekend I had 2 small slices of Pizza that I...

Thanks both.

Day 15 - 0730 Well it was time to WI this morning so with trepidation I hopped on to the scale.....it showed 16s 2.......that can't be right, a 6 pound loss even with the indulgences of earlier in the week. I tried 3 more times and the result was the same. -6lbs last week and 13lbs the week...

Glad you liked it. It's true though, what can seem like an unachievable task when you first look at it can be more than doable when broken down into many smaller tasks.

Hi Toots, thanks for the message. WI for me is on Wednesday after a full week, I was doing it on Mondays but shifted it to Wednesday to tie in with the start of a new week on Exante. I'm looking forward to the WI but I'm not expecting high figures this week due to my eating out over the...

Day 13 - 2000 I've been feeling a bit bloated today and I think it may be a hangover from the food at the weekend. I've been 100% today and I'm surprised that I was able to just step back into it after the weekend I had. My wife has decided to start on the Exante TS after seeing my results...

Absolutley the right thing to do. The question 'How do you eat an elephant?' applies to many things in life and losing weight is one of them. The answer in case your wondering is 'one mouthful at a time!'.

Hi Hannah, I would simply say make a decision. If you decide to have the meal that's great and enjoy it in the knowledge that you chose to do it and that you are in control. I'd you decide not to then that's also fine but remember, the choice is yours not the foods. I think where we plan to eat...

A bit of graft between now and WI and it'll be all good. I've nothing planned for the foreseeable future now so I can crack on now to get the 50lb off by Easter. It felt quite powerful to be able to say 'I'm going to eat this' rather than my body/brain saying 'you must eat this and you must eat...

Day 11 - 2022 It's been a couple of days since my last post and all has been going well. The Xmas meal went fine although I did have soup as well as the chicken. Tonight I'm up in Glasgow with my better half for work and I'm currently sat in an Italian restaurant with a pint of peroni and a...

Day 8 - 0800 Sat on the train listening to Dire Straits on my way to work. I think I'm going to move my WI to a Wednesday so it ties in with my starting on Exante. Vanilla shake this morning followed by a pint of water. Haven't had any food cravings so far this week but it was the weekend...

Day 7 -1130 Feeling pretty chuffed with myself today after the WI yesterday and it has really spurred me on to continue, if I'm honest I had said to myself 'if I don't see a weigh loss this week with all the hard work then that's me done', I couldnt have been more wrong and I'm glad. I think...

Hi both, really pleased with the results and looking to plough on hard this week.

I know exactly how you feel, that's how I felt last Saturday. Tomorrow is a new day and not only will you feel awesome for not giving in you'll feel mentally stronger for it, another plus is that the cravings will be gone. Stay strong....we're all with you on this!

Well done K8te!

Day 5 and 6 Didn't get a chance to post yesterday but pleased to say that the cravings I had on Saturday night didn't come back and Sunday was quite a non-event in terms of temptation and cravings, which was good. I did change the times of eating after reading a poster by another user that...

I wouldn't say easy but you're right, we don't have that to contend with. Keep up the good work everybody, you're all doing brilliantly. Spryo- there's an old Chinese proverb that goes something like this 'failure lies not in falling down but in not getting up'. Jay

Hi Hannah, I too will be weighing in on Monday even though I've only be on TS for 5 whole days at that point as I want my WI day to be Monday. I did 2 days 'preparation' before starting TS by lowering my carbs and calories so hopefully won't be much of an issue only having done 5 days. Good...

Hi Sulley, How's things going? I had a tough day yesterday. First full day at home with the kids since I started and the temptations and cravings hit hard. I could handle the temptations but I thought the cravings would do me in, the worst being for a Chinese and a couple of lagers last night...

I had the tomato one this evening and like you I was dreading it as well. I added a sprinkle of chilli powder and a dash of salt and I have to say it was quite nice.

Day Four - 2100 I've been struggling with cravings for the best part of the afternoon and evening, really fancying a chinese. It's Saturday night, the wife is out and the kids are in bed, I'd usually go for a chinese right about now but I won't. This has been the hardest day yet for cravings...

Day Four - 1400 I was dreading today, being in the house and around the food and left over Christmas goodies was a scary prospect but so far so good, I haven't been broken. I've even cooked the kids a dinner of bacon, potatoe slices with some peppers and cucumber and even though the bacon...

Thank you all for your comments about water\fluid intake. I was concerned that I was drinking too much and to hear that there are others who are drinking more without any detriment to their weigh loss is really reassuring. Thanks again.

I completely agree with you on the reinstatment of the odd takeaway. Where I'm at right now is place where I gain control of my weight and what food I put into my body. Once I am at my target weight I see no harm in having the odd 'treat' providing I don't fall back into old habits which I'll...

Well done Claire, that's an awesome loss! Goes to show the hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

Bl***dy iPhone autocorrect. That should have been congrats!

Contests Laura, that's a cracking weight loss. Keep up the good work!

Day 3 - 2000 I've been a bit slack in posting today, it's been a busy day in work and I've not had the opportunity until. I had the chocolate, nut and raisin bar for lunch which held no secrets and I've just had the mushroom soup which wasn't too bad although I did add a few shakes of chilli...

Day Three in the Big Blubber house. 1100am A bit late posting my early morning ramblings as it's been a busy one. My lucky bag presented me with the strawberry shake this morning and I was dreading it, I don't like strawberries. Regardless I set about making it and was surprised that when I...

I completely agree. The issue with disappointment, well certainly has been for me in the past, is that it can lead to binge eating to 'help me feel better' and then the cycle starts again. How often have we said to the other half 'I've had a sh1t day in work how do you fancy a <add favourite...

Well done on getting through a tough day. I think we're all in the same boat having used food as a support mechanism in the past and there is always the fear that we'll return to it in times of trouble. The fact that you haven't really shows that you're in control and not the food and I hope...

Day Two - 2000 Just finished by Thai flavoured soup and I'm now polishing off a cold pint of water. The thai soup was quite nice and not unpleasant at all, it does leave a bit of a tingle on the lips but it isn't too hot to handle! Today has been a bit harder than yesterday and I've had...

Thanks you all for you're words of support.

Day two - 1300 Just finished my Chocolate Orange and whilst it tasted OK it did get quite sickly towards the end, I might have to break this into 2 going forward. In general I've been having the odd gurgle in my stomach which I've always related to hunger in the past but now those feelings...

Hi Sulley, Glad you're feeling fine. Like you I'm on day 2 of Exante although I did 'prepare' for it on Monday and Tuesday by dropping my calories and carb intake, I did this mainly because I wanted to start on Monday but my packs hadn't arrived. I wish you all the best and keep in touch...

Day two - 0900 A honk for yesterday for me! Had a better nights sleep last night after tossing and turning a lot the previous night and managed to get up on time and make the early train. Woke up with a feeling of emptiness in my stomach this morning but this didn't translate to hunger or...

Well done to you all for your hard work so far....keep it up...you know you can do it! Good luck on your weightloss journey Lauri22, the ladies on this site are very supportive, insightfull and offer great advice!

Hi Elm, I hope you are well! I have spent some time going through your diary (that sounds wrong) and find it very interesting and sincerley wish you all the very best on your weight loss path. I notice from your posts that you spend a lot of time awake through the night and that when you...

Day One - 20:00 Just finished my 3rd meal of the day in the form of a vegetable soup which was very nice, I did add a sprinkle of salt and a few sprinkles of chilli powder as I'd read that it was bland but I think I could've down without either as it's taste was comparable with Batchelors...

Excellent start Guy...well done!

Thanks baby....I'm well pleased that today is going good. I adopted the 'prepare for the worst and hope for the best' stance and it's working.

Day One - 12:30 This morning has been good, generally haven't felt hungry until 12:30 when the all to familiar grumbling started but I must say that this was very much under stated in comparison to earlier on in the week during my 'preparation phase'. I decided to have my nutrition bar...

Well Done Laura! It's all heading in the right direction.

Day One - 0900 Found it hard to drag myself from my pit this morning, I think it's a combination of the late nights over Christmas and the fact it's dark and the weather is rubbish. When I did get up I was surprised that I wasn't feeling hungry following my last two days of calorie and carb...

Well my pack has finally arrived and I'm looking to start Exante Total Solution in the morning. I started lowering my calorie intake on Monday in preparation and monitored my carbs intake. I think I'm starting to go into ketosis as I've had a headachy feeling today and as my wife so kindly put...

Ladies!? I'll give you that as the site does seem to be populated by women although there are a few of us blokes dotted around the shop to. ;-) J

Well done Sleepy! Those results are excellent, If I reach half of that in my 1st week I'll be happy!

Hi Teetie, I'll be joining you on Exante when they arrive, until then just watching what I put in my face and ensuring it's healthy. Well done for all your hard work, remember to stay positive and I'm sure your target weight loss will come soon enough. One question, where did you get your...

Welcome to the board! Like you I'm still waiting for delivery and will start when they arrive. Until then i'm going to watch what I'm eating, try to keep it healthy and leave the remaining Christmas goodies well alone. This should allow me to get into ketosis quicker when I do start, that's the...

Thank goodness for that!

I'm starting the Exante on Monday (if delivered in time). One question I have is that due to me being a tea pot (8 cups at least day) is it ok to drink tea on the Total solution. I drink it black with no sugar normally anyway.

Hey guy, Like you I put weight on after getting married and having kids. I used to be a proper gym queen but what with all the extra commitments and extra responsibilities in work I've now reached 17st 7 which is my heaviest weight ever. I realise that the above can be seen as excuses but...
