    Should I aim for 5/6lbs under goal??

    Well I'd like to be an 8-10 rather than the 10-12 I am now. I have a slight frame and fine bones so still look a little flabby. However a good toning regime will hopefully sort that out too! I know what you mean about my losses - I am amazed every week! I stick to it 100% :-)

    Should I aim for 5/6lbs under goal??

    Well I can tell I am NOT really 9st11lbs if you know what I mean. I am the size I am when I am over 10st so I think you are about half a stone ahead on this diet due to your stomach being empty and the glycogen stores being empty too.

    Should I aim for 5/6lbs under goal??

    I read (somewhere!) that you should expect to put on a few lbs after you come off a VLCD as your sugar stores refill. Are others aiming for a few lbs under where they really want to be? I'm wondering if I should keep going a bit longer to account for this?

    Total Solution Not ok to have a porridge and a bar on same day???

    I've been having a porridge, a shake and a bar each day but just read on another thread you shouldn't have a bar and porridge on the same day????? I can't find this on the exante website, in fact it says fine to have more than one porridge. Am worried as I've worked out all my supplies on this...

    Does fluid intake really make a difference?

    I am rubbish at drinking water - really rubbish. I just never feel thirsty and have to force it down. Wouldn't surprise me if I drink a max 2 pints a day. Anyway, I did Exante before (see sig) and was succesful with it despite low water intake. Does it really make that much of a difference...

    How much water do you add to the shakes?

    How does it work?

    You have three things a day. I have two shakes and a bar. When I first started I had a shake, a bar and then a soup for dinner but now the weather is warmer I prefer having a shake for dinner! My fave soup was the chicken and I like all the shakes but vanilla probably wins for me! I...

    I make the soups super quickly and with no problems by: 1) put powder in a smallish saucepan 2) boil kettle 3) pour in water whilst stirring quickly with a wooden spoon 4) turn on heat 5) keep stirring and pushing any lumps against side of pain 6) bring to boil 7) turn off heat and put through...

    My boxes were taped together in the same plastic wrapping so don't think it is this. Sounds like Exante have made a mistake. Hope you get it sorted!

    Exante booklet says stop TS when BMI is 20 not 25

    Just seen this in the booklet. It says you can't do TS when your BMI reaches 20. Everyone on here seemed to say it was 25?? 25 sounds far more sensible, I am surprised they would advocate carrying on all the way down to 20 :confused::confused:

    Where do you lose weight from?

    Mine goes from my top half first! So now I have slim arms, collar bone and shoulder area but still a big bum and thighs!!!
  147. BuxomBarrister

    Just ordered some ASDA own and BL bars...

    They won't! I think the BL bars actually have LESS carbs and LESS calories than the Exante ones. So actually you may very well lose weight faster!!

    Week One - Have weighed myself and its not as good as I had hoped

    I use a hand blender made by ProLine. Works great and comes with a measuring jug to blend the shakes in :)

    So true. Before I started losing weight I just couldnt be bothered with hair/makeup/nice baths. I just sort of thought... what's the point!?? Quite sad really :( Now I am getting slimmer I am paying much more attention to make-up/jewellery etc and feeling much more confident :)

    All went fine today. Have decided I far prefer bars and shakes to the soups so think I am going to order just those next time. Anyway tired after a hard day at work today so adios for now.

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    Well I've been back on 100% TS for four days now and all going fine. Don't feel anywhere NEAR as bad as I did on Day 4 last time!!! Been so busy though so maybe havent had time to notice!! Pretty pleased to have only gained 1lb having taken 5 days completely off Exante!! I sooo needed it...

    Yesterday I had some cheese and crackers (woops!) and two portions of home-made cottage pie with brocolli (yum). ANNNNDD I am back on Exante TS from today! Feel like I had the little break my body needed and feeling much more determined to stick it out now. After over 8 weeks of being so so...

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    Well what do ya know... I've lost 2lbs in the last two days!! That's a bit baffling! Not that I am complaining losing more in two days of eating than I did on an entire week of TS. Maybe my body was just so desperate to know food was still available before it let go of the fat!!! The...

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    Right so seeing as I have decided to come off TS for a week (not doing WS either, just eating normally) I thought I would keep a food diary. Weds: Exante bar for breakfast Salad for lunch Chicken and veg stir-fry for dinner Thurs: (Got up late) Left over stir-fry for lunch Hummus and pitta...

    Do you really think so????? Even though it is like 12 cals a portion and no citric acid???? Mmmm ok well when I start back on TS I will cut this out (even though I had two small bowls). :eek: Thanks for pointing that out about WS! Lucky you did as I thought it was 2 replacements! :)
  215. BuxomBarrister

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    Right well I have decided to a one week break from TS... I am going to do WS (two meal replacements and one meal) for 7 days to get my head back in the right place. I had a salad for lunch with feta and it was simply THE most delicious thing ever. I could taste every flavour and could feel...

  218. BuxomBarrister

    1st week... -1lbs only

    Yup I've had the same prob. 4lbs in first week but looks like this week is going to be 1 or 2lbs. I'm totally 100% too. I went straight onto TS from Slimfast so putting it down to this. Most annoying though. Going to finish my box (2 weeks left) and if it doesnt improve I'm going back on...

    Zero Dr Pepper

    Apparently not! Lots of us on here drinking it.
  231. BuxomBarrister

    Zero Dr Pepper

    Tis true. And Coke Zero. Also Tesco High Juice squashes as they don't contain citric acid.
  232. BuxomBarrister

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    OOoo! I think I said Rowntrees but it's actually Hartley's isnt it. Did you find that one? The one with fumeric acid rather than citric acid? Do let us know how it tastes!! Going to the big supermarket tomorrow so will hunt it down :D

  240. BuxomBarrister

    Buxom's Exante TS Diary

    Well apparently the Rowntree's powder that you make jelly with has no citric acid in it which means it won't take us out of ketosis!!! It is also extremely low calorie (like 12 cals per serving or something!).
  241. BuxomBarrister

    Coming out of lurking because I'm really upset!

    ALWAYS use the same scales. You will get yourself in a right pickle if you scale-hop x
