Hey How are you getting on? After being on SW and only maintaining my weight I'm back on Exante to get a stone off. No messing around this time... Promise x

Glad your exante came! Enjoy! Little tip for you, don't read my diary this weekend :rolleyes::eek: just incase. I've just read your mum was a diplomat and you were taken in a hostage situation!!??? What???! That's crazy. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter X

Haha no I didn't mean you should act drunk! I mean I look drunk, my eyes go all boggly on photos. I'm normally stone cold sober. Just not photogenic at all. X

Breathe. Go and have a sit down for a bit and relax. Avoid photos if you can, I do, I look drunk as soon as someone points a camera at me. :D X

I'm sure you'll look fabulous. You've been doing so well at your diet I'm sure you'll make sensible choices while you are away. Try and enjoy it even though it is work :)

I'm the same with the bars, plus that caramel crunch is so yummy I could always eat more. It could be a phase and hopefully it'll pass. You're doing so well I could do with taking a leaf out of your book X

Wow your job sounds amazing! Makes me feel bad now for complaining of lack of sleep :D Hope you're having a lovely Valentine's Day X

Wow you sound busy! What is it that you do? Well done on the chicken. Great choice. Glad your curries have arrived :) X

Hey Oh no that sucks about the curry. Hopefully you'll surprise yourself and enjoy some of the shakes. I've had a shakey week and was massively poorly yesterday but I'm not going to be defeated. Have a good day X

Yeh take it week by week, sometimes things look so daunting if you look to far into the future. Funnily enough I've just done something similar on my diary about events I have coming up and what I want to be by then. X

Wow well done!! X

Wow busy day. First pack at 5:30? Err I was hungry at 10 haha. Good luck for tomorrow's weigh in i think you'll smash it X

Snap, everything else just fails. I just need to get on with it and stop moaning haha X

Hi :banana_dancer: So I've just read your diary - now I've found it. You are doing brilliantly. I relate so much to the 'excuses' as this is what I've been doing flitting between SW and Exante. I talk myself into eating and chocolate binges. Completely ridiculous. Also I definitely feel...

Day 1 nearly over. 3 packs done, not enough water but an improvement. I drink DR pepper zero so I'll count that towards my water intake - it's a liquid haha X Just watching 'unforgettable' then I'll be off to bed. Day 2 is normally a harder day for me.

Haha it's just so bland deffo changed the recipie. Well, at least you know it's not for you. I've not tried many of the newer products as I found the shakes much thinner tasting than the original flavours. X

That's brill that you've found stuff you really like to eat. That's the key, I mean who wants to eat something they can't stomach! :/ I just wish everything could be made in the pots like the daal. X

Haha mines all still stuffed in a box. My husband told me I had to find it a proper home as it annoys him. I've recently bought a new cupboard for the kitchen, it needs painting to match my table I think I'll use that once it's done x

Also, where the hell are you supposed to keep 56 Indian daal pots?!

I had my second pack at about 1 I think it was. That was purely because the DPD man came and I knew I had caramel crunch bars in there :D. My third pack will be around 7 I imagine when my eldest is in bed. I've decided if I need extras to stay on plan then I'll do it. I've got a tub of quark...

I do ramble on quite a lot in my diary so I apologise haha. I really can't suggest any others to try as really I'm not a massive fan of much. Like you I'm not so keen on the squidgy bars and the soups are not for me. I used to live off the carbonara but I'm positive they changed it. It used to...

I'm starting again today, I've literally only ordered. The Indian daal pots, chocolate puddings and a few caramel crunch bars and vanilla shakes. I will probably be eating 2 of the daal pots a day. I've got another 3 stones to lose so if anyone wants to find my diary for a chat I think it's in...

Vanilla all the way for me X

Hi Ed Did you manage to make a new start? After a shocking first week on SW and my current dire financial situation I am back in Exante tomorrow. I have enough products to last a week and then depending on how I'm doing i may get some more. It would be lovely to share your journey so update us...

Hi ED Sorry you've had a rough time. I really hope you can find what you are looking for in Exante. I'm back after having my second baby but Xmas has derailed me. I've not been doing very well on this stint of Exante. I'm getting there slowly. I can really relate to how you feel though. Fresh...

Hi Lynne Nice to see you. You are doing better than me at the moment. Just can't get my head in the game. We weigh about the same at the moment, I'm 11.13 down from 15.10 after having Clark in April. You'll be over taking me as I keep eating x

How's it going Mere?

You still in Fife Mere? Hope you're having a Nice time x

Hope you're enjoying your holiday Mere x

Totally what holidays are for! Enjoy it X

Wow well done on the fat % going down! You must be looking good! X

Enjoy your weekend Mere. I'm jealous your on holiday next week!! I could do with one of those :) haha x

Thanks for both recommendations. I'll have a look into them and decide which to get x

Hi :) I am due to start Exante to get rid of my baby weight and my trusty scales have died ( lack of use I guess haha). Anyway it took me ages when I bought them to get some that were reliable and gave the same weight 3 times in a row. So I am hoping to pop to Argos tomorrow and pick some up...

Happy new year x

Happy new year x

Are you still going strong Lynne? X

Hi mere Hope things are going well ?x

Well done Lynne. Love your challenge! I'll make sure I follow your progress as I go the opposite way :-(

Wow mere that sounds amazing! I'm so glad you had a good time. Now your home you can get in that jacuzzi! I bet it'll feel like heaven! X

Sorry Lynne. Keep writing stuff on the wrong diaries! I'm way too tired x

Maybe you could convince him to buy you some kind of wooden gazebo to go over it mere. X I'd be in it hehe x

Wrong diary mere lol Baby brain x

Haha mere. To be fair you could have had someone's eye out! Sparty!! Love it. Enjoy x

Well done Jubbly all going in the right direction x

Looking good! :)

Wow looks good mere! Enjoy it x

I want to see a drink in your hand Mere ;-) I am due back at work on Friday, after my bleed I've been taking it easy. Morning sickness is horrible. Putting weight on because eating stops the nausea. But happy to still be pregnant and I'll put up with anything as long as it all goes ok. Enjoy...

Wow mere you lucky thing. That's looks like it's going to be good! Enjoy it! X

Hope you manage to stick to it Lynne. At least if you are losing and gaining the same 2kb you are technically maintaining :-) Just a little push to get going again and the lbs will melt away x

Hi jubbly Nice to see you back... If you get what I mean :-) How's Taco? Not sure when the last time you read my diary was but got to my target, had IVF, got pregnant and gained 5st lost it and got back to 9st. Now I've been on holiday and gained a stone back plus a bit more as I've started...

Well done on all the exercise Mere. X

Hi Lynne How's it going? I'm back off hols - the gain isn't pretty!! lol x

Do you think your eating enough then Mere? The only reason I ask is your doing alot of exercise and people always seem to lose more when they fuel their body more? I'm surprised in my own weight loss with 5:2 this week. I think I've finally got my head around eating again and not feeling guilt. X

Hope Liv is ok Shrimp? Well done on getting back on track. I can't help but weigh lol and well done on your 1lb so far! X

How's the car Lynne? And the diet :-)

Really glad you had a good wedding. Not been around much recently myself so lots to catch up on. How was the dress in the end? Scenery sounds beautiful. What's the plan diet wise now then? X

Oh Lynne I hates the eggs! :-( Well done for trying again. Your doing so well and well done on getting your steps in! X

Shrimp? Where are youuuuu? X Hope youre well?

Sorry your struggling Lynne. Your plan sounds good though and you've thought about what's achievable. Hope you had a nice Easter x

Did you have a nice Easter Mere? X

Hope you're doing fab shrimp! X

You do fab with your exercise! I think we have a new superwoman on our hands :-) The poor dog has had his legs walked off hope he/she is recovered! Have you been weighing Mere? I'm not sure I'll ever be able to give up the scales but I'm getting better x Have a good week x

I'm a bit behind here Lynne but I hope you had a lovely meal for your sons birthday! There's a it of people suffering at the moment with hay fever etc I'm pretty lucky as it hasn't got me yet! Sometimes my eyes are so painful! Did you decide to TS or CC & TS? Started typing on my phone so can't...

Happy birthday for this week! Glad you're back Shrimp! X

Hope everything's going well Shrimp and nothing bad has happened to keep you away :-/

Doing fab with the exercise Mere! What a fab sounding holiday and brilliant motivation! X

I got a flex Lynne but it was only a fluke that it came into hubby's shop (cash converters) brand new in the box and he knew I wanted one so snapped it up! I love it but it's making me feel a little bit like I've failed because I am so sedentary and it worries me that once at goal I won't be...

You are doing brill Lynne because you aren't giving up! Good luck for Monday x

I know that feeling too well. I'm not sure why but sometimes I just can't get good in my mouth fast enough, for no reason! Hopefully it will give your metabolism a boost though and get this 7 lb off x

I really like the original bars too. Not has the new exante ones. The one I was sent as a sample was nice though you'll like that if they launch it x

In fact I've just ordered some!! :-)

I second the s&s orange ones! Too delicious!!

You'll look fab in June Lynne. Get back on it and you'll fit into whatever Fabulous outfit you pick to wear to meet Princess Ann x Wish I was a princess :-)

Sounds brilliant. X

The pancakes. Were more successful as 2 than one large one. Both flavours tasted nice. No complaints. The bar tasted very similar to the tesco ultra slim one. Filling and yummy! The breakfast eggs/ omelette pack ! :-I Originally Posted by *lil* The breakfast eggs. What can I say. You can...

Sorry I updated my diary. I'll try and copy posts over x

Well some mere you really have caught the exercise bug! X

Not sure if anyone noticed on there exante emails about 4 new products being launched? Well I was lucky enough to receive some to try so here they are! They aren't branded yet and the names on the packets and accompanying leaflet don't quite match but I guess they will use the names on the leaflet.

Hi How's the weekend going? X

You seem to be loving the gym Mere. That's fab! I keep stopping and starting with my exercise. Stuck go my squat challenge though :-) When do you weigh in? X

How's it's going Shrimp? X

Gorgeous ;-)

With that much effort and determination those 7lbs will be history!! X

Well done Lynne stick at it x

Well done Mere. Sounds like a lovely reward x

Good luck Lynne sorry it's tough for you at the moment but we all know you can do it :-)

Brilliant Lynne! Stay focused now. I know it's hard with work etc x

That's rubbish about your treatment Mere. Has ******* responded yet? X

That's brill shrimp well done. I really wish I could get into an exercise & stick to it. I'm far too lazy and easily distracted :-(

I love the paler one. Only I thought it was pale pink? Lol either way it's nice and I love the shoes. X

Hi Lynne Traffic and work! 2 things I hate! Hope your getting back on track x

Hope you've had a fab day Mere and those lbs are dropping! X

Let's see a picture of the dress anyway :-) love a bit of shopping!! Debenhams do some lovely dresses x Does it have to be black? X

Oh I get confused lol I'll in subscribe from this one. I think it's the low calories lol

Good luck mere hope you get back to your maintenance weight soon x

I hope your busy getting skinny? X

I love weighing hehe put your clothes on fast in a morning or drink some water fast, you won't weigh then :-)

Wow that sounds fab! Did you take any photos of the house? I love looking at houses I can't afford lol x

Haha sooo funny. Bless her x

Glad she is home. Did she miss you? X

Ooh that sounds beautiful. Jensen had a lovely time thank you. X

Added you.

Whoop whoop ammmmmazing!!

I'm westwood82 marge. If I see you come up I'll add you x

Don't use the app Marge. Use the desktop version. You can search by username. X

How are you doing mere? X

Wahoo brilliant!! X

Yep aiming for about 1200 on non fast days just to keep myself in check then 500 on fast days. I'll see how that goes then may do more fast days so 4:3 instead of 5:2 x

Mine is 1200 on none fast days then I just loo for the calories used part on fast days. X

Press her photo, then show all threads by this user x

5:2 & calorie counting Carly. We'll be like the 3 amigos!! Lol x added you btw x

Blimey that's good going! X

No weighing!!!! Whattttt? Haha my worst nightmare. Saying that now I'm on the carbs I am avoiding the scales until next Friday. I cs t cope with the gain just yet x

Sounds like your still doing brilliant Lynne. Focus and drive is still very obvious and a lb off is always good news! X

Well done mere. Sounds like a lovely day x

Good day? X

Ooh is it Lynne? Update please :-)

Drool.... Love porridge so gutted I have none left to see me the end of my exante journey :-( Night night day 3 tomorrow x

Night Lynne well done x

Eek! Hope you like them then lol

Not sure what it's like cold! But I've also made biscuits, same theory ...paste small blobs on grease proof paper and then in the oven. Maybe try them before you get stuck with them for lunch lol x

Either porridge or shake into a thick paste ( pancake mix consistency) and pop in a pan like you would a normal pancake. You may need fry lite depending on what your pan is like. I reckon if you like cinnamon , chuck some in. I don't though :-)

I love them, gutted I ran out of porridge. Tastes not too bad with vanilla shake though. It's doable anyway x

Hoping you've had a good day x

I didn't like the exante meals :-/ only carbonara and porridge! Oh the shepherds pie was ok but I added extra salt which probably wasn't the best. Try a porridge pancake! It's amazing promise!! X

Ooh I want a fit bit now x

2lb is fab! X

Good day dusty?

Glad you had a good day Lynne! Your doing really well!!! X

Cheeky ;-) Dear God do people really shave? I am all for keeping it well groomed but shaved!! Haha X

:-( They aren't the best looking assets really..... Just makes me wonder how bad his face is if that's his best feature lol was it a teeny weeny or worth showing??? You gotta ask ;-)

I'm so happy for you that you're all back together. :-) Well done for counting your calories and staying in control through such a bad time. I would have crumbled and have for much smaller things x

I understand why you're annoyed and you're focussing on the TS aspect but if stick with the countdown also. A countdown of days you haven't eaten something naughty. Chicken has never been naughty! Well done, those scales will just keep going down, down , down x

That's so lovely. Glad he is coming home :-) x

Well done shrimp. How are things now? X

Brilliant Lynne you are smashing It now! Whoop whoop!! :-)

They only got advertised yesterday or the day before Carly so no one will have had them yet x

Well done Lynne! 3/10 xx

Wow! That's impressive! I put on about 7 lol x

Hope the worst is over and..... That you get that hair washed!!! X

Hope you've had a good day mere x

Wow scary!! Hope he is ok now. You are right your family come first. Take care x

Well done Lynne x

Helloooo how's things today? X

Yay Lynne is back in the game! You can do it Lynne. I know how hard it is but once you have you mojo back keep hold of it!!!!

That's brill. Hope everything is getting better now for you! X

Where are youuuuuu?

I can't believe your flooded. It must be horrendous for you. Has it happened to you before?

Hi Lynne how's it going? X

Also I'm not sure but if it's totm your body holds on to water right? So wouldn't that be in fat and muscle?

What was it last week?

Yay us! :-)

Enjoy your run shrimp! Anyone who continuously exercises get my up most respect! I can't keep it up at the moment! X

4lb is great Lynne. Isn't it nice to see those numbers going back down again. X

Well done for posting these! When you've lost a bit more and compare, you'll be so glad you did!! X

Brilliant! You'll be so happy you did it x

They will :-)

I have 1 called Target weight but to be honest I still prefer the Exante one. I think they are in the process of fixing it. I read it on another thread x

oooh Carrie chant that my way lol x

Happy new year shrimp! Well done on an 800 calorie day :-) X

Well done Lynne. I always find day 1 easy for some reason, it's day 2 & 3 that get me! I need more water though, only on 1 litre I really struggle. Although total liquid intake would meet 2-3 litres I am sure!! Here's to a good tomorrow :-)!! X

Did you order your packs? X

Mine disappeared too. When I tried to download it again it said something like unavailable. I have up and downloaded a different one. I assumed exante had just stopped it. I wa a bit gutted as I'd lost 5st12lb and I liked having my results and losses recorded. :-( (They were a bit hit and miss...

Haha Lynne. There's always people bigger than you. I am sure there's lots of people would kill to be your weight. We will both get there this time round I can feel it ;-)

Haha I only put them on here when I'm 'thin' enough in my own eyes lol I never put the before ones on :-)

Happy new year Carly! Glad your back. I need my ass kicking as I am not doing very well at all!!!!! Did you have a nice Xmas? X

Happy new year! Great start photos! You'll feel so glad you did them when you can see a huge difference. I may do my underwear shots again as it really spurred me on before! I'm re re starting tomorrow. Best of luck x

That's a good idea Lynne. Just popping on for a few minutes here and there helps! There's always someone around. A message in your diary or someone wondering where you have disappeared to! Loving the cardigan. Hope it's a smaller size for motivation lol x

You sound motivated Lynne! Come on 2014! Good luck for your re start x

Well said Carrie! X

Beautiful Carrie! What shop are you in? X

Time for the after pic Carrie x

Last Wednesday fast day ! Make it a good one! Haha was just looking around this part of the forum and who did I find!! Lol x

Fasting looks like a good idea. Carrie is doing fab, no packs though but same theory. I'm not really in the Ts frame of mind. I am having extras like tuna or just derailing. This time of year is so tough x

For 3 weeks now I've been messing about! I'm re starting tomorrow now my new packs have come. Do it Carly!! You'll lose loads before Xmas x

Well done Lynne! X

Carly your back now, thats all that matters! Ive been messing about for weeks now. Im down to my last 10 packs at a guess. Decision time my end lol x

Haha where have you been??? Missed you :-)

How was today Lynne? X

Good to have you back! Well done on having a plan of action! X

Hope the legs better and your being good while your not here ;-)

Maintaing is the hard part so well done! Good luck with the shoot when it comes around! How exciting!!

Have you had a good weekend Lynne x

Brilliant! Well done, you look amazing! X

Doing brill keep it up! X

Wow well done! X

Love it! Lol

Brilliant day :-)

Good attitude 1lb is still 1lb and you know the rest of the loss is there its just hidden by water! Theres nothing i enjoy more than boiled eggs with salt & pepper on! Enjoy! X

Good news about the health bad news about the stew :-o Hope your better today? X

Rubbish isn't it. I work for a building society that has joined with a very big building society ;-) and they are chopping our branches left right and centre! Some might say they are doing it "Nationwide" :-) I have income protection in place-you have to practise what you preach! Hope your jobs...

Well done lynne sounds good :-)

Haha good picture. Im pretty sure people will know its not you lynne :-) Haha x

Take is steady don't do too much! Could the pain killers be making you feel ill because you need solid food in your belly? I had to take metformin at one point and i just couldn't do that and Exante they aggravated my belly and made me throw up x Either way look after yourself x

Sorry you're having a lousy time at work that's rubbish. But Yy for a bit fat cheque! How are you doing now a few days have passed? X

Morning how's the leg today? X

Brilliant love it! X

Didnt get in until 3am? Well at least you didn't have to put your PJ's on lol :-) Going out and abstaining is tough and sometimes you just don't want to! Like you say it'll go. Now lets see these photos ;-)

Pics pics pics!

Have you won? Wow well done you :-) xx

How's the leg today? X

That's brill to say you ate carbs etc last night! I am thinking I will start to have a meal at night just as I'm getting a bit fed up of being on this diet now :-(

Hope your day stayed a good one x

Wow! Good stuff! X

Good luck with your re start ! Sounds like you've had a tough time recently. Glad your throat is starting to feel better lets hope your leg catches up!! Hope today goes well for you x

Very true.Good luck getting to your goal x

You can really see the difference. Well done x

Hey It happens to us all! Ive been messing around for a week or so. Just having a final push to get to goal. I managed to get to goal originally before i had IVF which was successful and i now have an amazing baby boy called Jensen. He is 8mths 1 week now. I gained 5 stone while pregnant and had...

Have you made it Shrimp? I keep messing about. Was 10.3 then binged to 10.5 but im back to 10.4! Still hoping for a loss on Friday. Trying to get some exercise in x

Hi! :-) Good to have you back again! ( if you know what i mean) Yes i saw your face pop up in my email and thought oooh i recognise her! I hope you win! X

I must admit mine works perfectly. I mix my mix with my dry shake powder then pour that on the top of my water in a jug. Blend with a hand blender and refrigerate. I don't think you can use a shaker but i'm not sure. I really like it! Mine is the slim & save one as i bought mine before Exante...

Wow!!! Brilliant x

Hey You've done really well surviving your first week! Fingers crossed you have a brilliant loss in the morning & you tackle week 2 just as well! X

Well done. It'll be off in no time x

Well done! It normally takes me ages to feel human again after a long haul flight, so it normally entails comfort food - take away chocolate etc :-)

I think you need to have something like 1000 posts to see people's diaries in the silver section. Get commenting on threads lol x

Well done :-)

Yay I get to post here now! I'm 10.12 at the moment & a 12/14 in clothes. Weigh in day Friday I'd love to be 10.10 but that would mean a 4lb loss as I've done 2 already but I think those days of big losses have gone. X

I cant even believe the blonde haired photo is you carrie. You look so different! Well done, you look beautiful in all of them but s-k-i-n-n-y! In your latest one x

Hey Hun Not sure if you mean a mixed box of 50? but they do have a shake only box of all 4 flavours & a shake & bars etc It's just the month supply under Bumper packs. X

Helloooooooooo :-) Where are you Carly? X

Only just noticed you posted these here! As i said in your diary you look fantastic. Skinny. ;-) x

Saying that. Mary pulled it off??!

Haha!!

Well done on the running I'm terrible at it. My bum wobbles and fees horrible lol

Well done for keeping under 600 cals :-) I'm on hols again next week I'm dreading what damage I can do in that time !! Glad the vomiting has stopped! I hate being sick. Now just work on the sleeping!!! X

Oh that sounds awful! Just as Carrie says 'health first' hope you are feeling a bit better now x

Hope you've had a good day :-)

Hey Try this: Might help wash her nose out a bit that or a steamy bathroom my HV suggested x

Ha i wish! Have a good day x

Yay for quick losses! ( except mine which are rubbish)

Hmmm where are you? Hope everything is ok x

Morning x

Morning! X

??? Not still on the wine are you? Xx

I shouldn't laugh at that but..... Haha x

Haha im taking it yours was not? X

Me too. Just meat but feel a bit rubbish now x Tomorrows another day x

Hows it going Dusty? X

Well done. That's what I like to see :-)

Hey Welcome back! Glad you've made a good start! X

Amazing. I cant wait to be there again! Well done x

Good job! I think I'm over my hunger frenzy. I just hope I see a loss soon x

Wow wow wow what a star! Brilliant loss. Bet that feels good :-) x

Haha my body ignored you! However Totm has arrived so fingers crossed that was holding me back. Feel a bit more positive today as I've tried some clothes on and I can actually get them on. They don't look good! But I can get them on lol I couldn't before! Hope your having a good day x

Yes i use it to record my weigh ins and target date. It also ding dongs when its weigh in day so i don't forget. Doesn't really do much else but when my scales do move i find it quite good to be able to track my losses! Right bed time! Come on body lose some weight while you sleep!!! Lol

Enjoy Robbie & well done with the running! I can't even jog to the end of my street without thinking I can taste blood in my throat!! Xx

Faaaab weight loss and good that you've managed to get some sleep in! Well done. Is it your official weigh in yet? I'm lost with what day it is. Do you have the Exante iPhone app? X

Umm caramel bunnies!
