For the first time in a really, very long time, I have no muffin top over my trousers today! Same size, same trousers I wear all the time and yet a massive difference when I put them on! I can't wait to feel them starting to get loose! :-)

Eek! Well done on the weight loss but do take care of yourself :hug99: If you're finding re-feeding really hard or it goes on for too long and you're concerned, could you pop along to your GP to discuss if there is any way that they can help you? Perhaps they can refer you for some cognitive...

Anyone?

honk! Just! I had to throw my childrens' dinners away as soon as they were done to stop me from eating them!

I'm coming across a lot of people who are 'restarting' or who "did this diet x amount of years ago, but need to start again now...". I'm wondering if everybody on VLCDs end up back at the starting line sooner or later? It's making me nervous as I'm one week into Exante and the last thing I want...

I thought I'd share with you all the strange little habits I've developed, which make following a VLCD easier for me. Firstly, I've got set into a right little routine. I pick out all 3 of my packs for the day first thing when I get up, and then I grab my big black marker and write on the...

Are you doing TS? I think you'd have a bigger loss in your first week as you lose retained water and glycogen, which weighs a lot. I just had my first weigh in and I have lost 12lbs this week despite having a 1.5 days break when I ran out of exante packs. I am completely chuffed! :D

Well, it's weigh in day today! I was a little nervous because I had a 'break' using ultraslim shakes instead of exante when my packs ran out (my new bumper pack arrived yesterday) so it wasn't the perfect first week, but still... I started out this time last week at 12stone 10lbs and I stepped...

Aye it has been trying. My twins still don't sleep very well at night so I've been feeling very run down - It'll be worth it, though I'm sure :)

You could try making crisps out of them? [URL]http://www.minimins.com/cambridge-diet-forum/2518-recipes-foodpack-muffin-crisps-fudge-cake.html

I love the mushroom one - Try it with cracked black pepper - Mmmmm...

I love exante now! I thought they were very bland at first but they've really grown on me. I think the hungrier I've got, the tastier they have seemed! I've been on ultraslim chocolate flavour shakes and bars for the last day (and a half) as I ran out of exante and my bumper pack didn't arrive...

Yes! I've just finished my first week and I have been sooooooo very tired. I am hoping it settles down as my body gets used to so few calories. I can't survive with such little energy as I have 3 tots to look after! I am hoping to feel more energetic this week or the next...

18.00: Wow. I've had a couple of tough (REALLY tough) days. BUT I've come through it and my exante bumper pack arrived today :D I was so happy to see it! I was on ultraslim for 1.5 days when I ran out of exante (bloody bank holiday ) and I only had chocolate flavour. It threw me out of...

Well, no luck with the post today. I shall have my ultraslim shake and then take the girls for a little stroll into to town to the library or to see if there's anything on in the surestart centre. Oh well. :sigh:

I'm really worried about being on the ultraslim today - It feels too much like eating with all the milk in it! I am worried it'll bring me out of ketosis or make me put weight back on. I'm PRAYING that my post arrives soon and that my exante pack is in there! I'll be waiting for the post before...

Thursday, 26th May 2011, 13.00: Okay... I've tried calorie counting. And failed miserably. I am taking a new approach. I am trying a VLCD (Exante total plan). I'm sick of feeling this way. I'm sick of hating myself. I lose weight then pile it back on and more. I am sick of yo-yo-ing. I want...

Is it too cheeky if I copy posts here from a diary I started elsewhere? :o ETA: To begin with, before I do anything else, here are the basics: Start date: Thursday 26th May Start weight: 12stone 10lbs Plan: Exante Total Solution Goal weight: 9stone 0lbs Other goals: Get into my old size 10...

Thank you everyone! What a warm welcome :-) I have successfully gotten through the weekend of seeing my husband stuff his face and not given in once for a nibble of what he's had. I'm feeling really very proud of myself! :) I can't wait for weigh in day :D

Can I aim for 10lbs? I'm just starting out so don't know what to expect :o

Hello! I started exante last Thursday. Starting weight was 12 stone 10lbs and I intend to weigh in every Thursday from then :-) I hope to see a nice big loss after my first week this coming Thursday :)

Hello! I'm just setting out on my exante journey, too. I'm a little ahead of you at day 4 :-) I found the first 2 days to be the most challenging (day 2 in particular, I wanted to eat EVERYTHING). After that once you get in to ketosis the hunger really does go away. I am finishing day 4 now and...

...instead of just barging in and posting all over the place! :p I'm going under the name of WiiMii (as I do a lot of wii fitting). I started Exante total solution on Thursday and have stuck it out 100% so far :D I am very chuffed with myself! I have long-ongoing problems with emotional eating...

Oh my GOD that is amazing!! Well done you!

Awesome! Well done! :-) I am approaching my first stone as well. Such a great feeling isn't it?! Good luck for meeting your holiday deadline - I am sure you will pass it with flying colours! :D

I'm really cold, too. I think it is a side effect of the ketosis?

I have been doing the exante total solution for 4 days so far (and lost 9lbs already!) and was just wondering if we're allowed to chew sugar-free gum? Or will this put me out of ketosis? I think it would really help me to be able to chew something throughout the day, but don't want to blow my...

Hiya! I'm new to this VLCD stuff. Does anyone know if you can make the above recipes using an oven instead of a microwave? I don't have a microwave but these sound yummy and I'm bored of shakes and soups already! (day 4)

Hello! Good luck on your VLCD journey :-) I have recently started exante and am on day 4 now. So far it is much easier than I thought it would be! I found day 2 the toughest so far and I think once you get past day 3 it gets much easier (in my experience so far - I haven't felt at all hungry...

Thank you for the welcome. I'm finding it a bit hard to find my way around! I think I fit in to "all other diets" so will check that area out later :)

I'm using the ultraslim meal replacements and having a bar for breakfast, a shake for lunch, a real meal for dinner and no snacks... Anyone doing any similar diets? Maybe we could support each other on not binging through the day? :o

I really don't get on with conventional diets. I don't have the will power... I need to do something about my weight as it's just going up and up and getting out of control. In the last six months I have put on 24lbs due to the fact I just eat ALL. DAY. LONG. and don't get any exercise at all...

Hello! I was reccomended this forum by somebody on the parenting boards that I use :wavey: I've got about 50lbs to lose and I'm using the 'ultra slim' diet using meal replacements for two meals and a real meal for dinner in the evening. Today was day 2 and so far I'm doing really well sticking...
