Honk from me! At long last! And well over water amount as well! Yahey

I had even thought about this! Fab question though, and to have an answer even better!! Thank you everyone!

I agree with everyone, im a serial faller from the wagon. I think one of the things any of us who tend to overeat (or binge like me) is exactly what everyone has said, we need to draw a line under it, vow to try again and keep on going. Best of luck with everything. x

i can never tell what my breath smells like but its tastes like its stinky! lol x

Its nice to have somewhere to post things you know you are probably doing wrong, but get advice on how to do it better as well. thank you minimins.

Well, youve inspired me AOGG. Ive been really struggling to get back on track and seeing that it can be done even if it takes a bit longer has eased my worries abit. Thank you, you look great. x

My CDC has recommended drinking your water and inclduing tea/ coffee etc as a bonus amount. Its a struggle though sometimes. x

I managed about 3 stone last year and returning this year. Really worried i can't get my head back in the focus. Finding it annoying that almost as soon as I was on this diet offers from all over the place to 'lets have sunday dinner' 'ohh, we could get a takeaway' lets go to lunch etc. Can go...

hello, starting 21/01/12 at 18.6llb. Heaviest ive ever been. Would like to get to 10.5 but going to wait and see. A nice toned size 14 and I'd be happy. Did well on Exante last year, from 17.9 to 14.7 then went on holiday to carb city lol. On cambridge sole source now so here we go, now or never...

1400 posts! thank you Just finished reading the whole thread and diary etc and just want to say a massive thank you to everyone on here. Incredibly inspirational and I wish all of you your hearts desires. Thank you. x

but - now you've realised so its okay! don't beat yourself up, you realised what it was, and you'll probably have a great weight loss next week! Keep going!

gosh, i remember trying to get my ketosticks off the pharmacist, i made a right fool of myself! Considering all i wanted to do was a VLCD made me feel like a criminal who was gonna sell the ketosticks to little kids in the playground or something!! honestly!

'Bodycare' do the self heating strips for body and facial hair for about 1.97 for 20 odd strips! Found them really effective, nearly as good as the microwave wax, and safer (having suffered a serious leg burn after walking with hot wax whilst looking at tv screen!) But in answer, I think you'll...

haha, i went mental at my boyfriend in the first week of this diet cos he opened a packet of salt and vinegar crisps! God forbid it was his second in a week, but in my eyes it was like he'd eaten nothing but crisps day in and day out and all i could do was smell them. the smell of fresh bread...

haha, oh dear! I find that computers just make me type really fast and I don't really look at my grammer and spelling etc on a forum! I've noticed I've typed things in the past and they make no sense whatsoever because of one mistake but I always hope people catch my draft! Best of luck everyone...

Just try to remember, this diet isnt a way of life for ever, its a means to an end. The faster you restart and get back into the zone, the faster you'll be done with it. I've just finished a week of working solutions, and I've found it really hard, weight loss slowed down, and being able to eat...

Best of luck everyone!

I don't think citrus fruit is good for this diet. Not sure though, but fruit is high is no go lists. Be good to know for sure though.

The history of Famagusta is very interesting. Can't really see it, but a boat trip will take you round and defo worth a trip.

-4llbs! Well done everyone on losses!

nelehnalip, 2nd week, team 3 -4llbs. totm still pleased scales moved though!

Hi Hannata, I would prob check with a dr re pro plus, because youll be on much lower calories, so pro plus might have quite negative effects. Caffeine ok though, coffee etc. Ive still be drinking normal tea cos I can't live without my yorkshire tea, but my sister gave me a great tip, as tea...

Ive developed some itchy lumps/ spots on my back and hips of all places. Seem to be clearing now. !

Good luck xHannahx ! Once youve got through your first week I think its might get easier to because youve got the knowledge that you can do and have done it, so its just a question of carrying on. I found in the first week I kept thinking, this time last week I was tucking into...etc and fri and...

Weigh day is a wednesday. Yesterday first week weigh in, 12llb loss! Congrats on all the other losses and sticking to the plan teammates!

Im in! Exante diet - 231 llbs Yey, team 3!

Hi Scary Movie. Ive got a blog which details my first week on exante. 7th day tomo! I would highly recommend Exante, although I know Ive got a way to go, but considering I thought it was going to be really really hard, other than craving food (more the act of making and eating) not hunger, ive...

I've managed to drink 4 litres each day by spacing it out in four quarters sort of thing, one litre in the morning before noon, another between 12-3, another between 3-6 ish and then another just before bed between 6 onwards (about 6-12). I use a volvic one litre sports bottle and the sports cab...

I thought it was 2 packs and then a 600 cal meal using ingredients listed above. This takes you to 1000 for a week long period, before going back down to 600 cals for another 4 weeks? I'm quite looking forward to the Working Solutions week! I might well stand corrected however when I go through...

cheeky g*t!! Yes, if you order before 1pm on a work day it will be next day, and you can change your shipping address to a work one if need be!

Good luck! Stick with it and youll be amazed how fast it comes off, and every day that spurs you on to carry on!!

So far, the exante flavours/ textures have been really great. Soup was creamy, colour was a bit pale for a tomato soup, strawberry shake quite subtle, but overall, from limited experience, very nice. Actually look forward to having them (although prob cos I'm quite hungry as well!!)

Good luck Essi!

Yeah, will be interesting to see if a stomach shrinks on exante.

Im going to make a list of all the things that cross my mind to eat whilst on this diet, then, when I've made it to the end (PMA PMA PMA) im going to look at it and decide if I still really fancy it, then treat myself to it (in moderation PMA PMA PMA)!!

Fingers crossed for you. So disapointing but keep going!

yum they sound goooood!

Hear hear! I agree so far with my one day limited experience, but the bannana milkshake, choc chip and orange bar, and tomato soup lovely so far. Not too sweet, just right. Fingers crossed.

And also, think how well you've done to get through four weeks on a VLCD. Just shows you can do it!

I agree, site is fab and all the lovely people really motivating! Thank you

Best of luck Sulley. I started exante today, 7 stone to shift. I was quite pleased to chuck my mouldy carrots away out of the fridge and give up the pretence of buying them and never eating the things and then felling guilty about that too, let alone the junk i cram in!!

Good idea! Well done on the loss so far.

Also, if you go through a comapny called QUIDCO, you can get cash back for insurance quotes and all sorts of things. Eases the pain a bit. Job titles can make a difference too! Good Luck

Wish I could work out how to get a ticker!

Well done on the 6llbs!! Great stuff to hear. I like the time scale thing too. I'm going to think like that if I can when looking at food. Say to myself, get the weight of first and then you can have some!! (Mind over matter, mind over matter or something constantly running through my head!)

Any news on the citric acid question anyone?

Hi Divalicious, I know youre feeling low about your weight loss, but just to say how motivated I'm finding your story! 4 stone down already is a massive massive success. I know you want more, but don't discount how brilliant you're doing and I'm sure it will happen soon. (Took me 8 months to...

Im in, first day nearly done! Target, get through first five days!!

me too! I'm the kind of girl who likes a bar of chocolate (sweet), and then, to balance it out, a bag of crisps (salty) and then chocolate and then crisps etc and on and on and round and round etc! Exante starts in T minus 5 minutes!

Thankyou Can I just say how inspriing I am finding everyones stories on here, especially all the people posting who are on exante and espeacially all the ladies (and men) who are able to do it whilst looking after the children and cooking etc. If you can all do it I have no excuses so thank you...

Hi Trying Again, I know its all sorted now, but just wanted to give my tuppence worth I suppose. Having tried many diets just like you, other people pressurising me has never helped, if anything, made me fall off the wagon faster. I love my Mom to bits, and she's always been my closest friend...

Hi Mollybloom. I'm currently waiting for my exante to arrive and im excited to start. I was on Weight watchers previously and was very sluggish on it, although after going through my diary of food, i did used to pop quite a few food bits in my mouth without really thinking about it and it...
