day four today and thankfully the head ache has left me, feeling great and a quick peek at the scales shows a 4lb loss

morning all!!! im on day three of my last ever restart, i normally get in to ketosis fairly symptom free with only a headache on day three. this time round i have had a headache with me since day one and i cant seem to shift it. is this normal and is there an end in sight? im a nurse and i...

also thinking my loss of only 2lbs two days ago cant have been right as i cant have lost 11lb in two days. jumped on and off the scales today about 10 times and got a consistant reading.

well ive weighed myself a day early today as im having a crap time and thought it might cheer me up. lost a total of 13lbs in my first week after an initial slow start. I'm well chuffed with this as i only normally lose around 9 on my first week on tfr. occasionally i suffer with insomnia and...

well done on ur good start x

hey just read ur diary i love how motivated you are, keep it up. as for the periods i,ve had similar experiences tge last time i tried exante but not as bad. im sure u will be fine when ur horemones calm down a bit x

thanks guys im going to try keep off the scales till ive done a week. my water consumption so far has been good, i average about 4l a day x

this is good news i hope my feet shrink im a seven and a half wide fitting when i used to be a five and a half. dont mind the seven but would like less of the wide lol

did just have a day four peak on the scales i told myself i wouldnt, lost two pounds was hoping for more but at least its in the right direction

welcome back and goodluck im also restarting im on day four. i like the idea of not weighing daily but cant seem to break the habit

just on my way to work so hungary i cant face a night shift with only two shakes left so ive had a few slices of ham, hope this does not affect me to much

wow well done on tge loss so far, you have had a great start

hey guys good luck for starting tomorrow, my advise to you is to drink plenty of water and to come on here anytime you need support or encouragement. get through the first few days and your over the worst part x

hi Dawn welcome and good luck this site is great for advise and motivation x

Hey so ive been back on exante three days now and decided to do another diary. im always on here reading and find them so inspirational that i thought i would give it a whirl. i originally started exante back it feb and lost 2.5 stone by may then alot of messing around over summer and my...

What a horrible day I'm an hour away from finishing a 14 hour shift and I'm so disappointed with myself. Just had enough today and ended up eating I'm such an idiot I don't even have a half decent excuse I was just tired an needed a pick me up. O well back to it tomorrow :(

Honk

I shall continue with my exercise but reduce weighing to monthly I think x

I have started jogging this week for race for life, I hope it does not have much effect I did gain a suspicious 5lb today though after being 100%. I've chosen to ignore it and get rid of my scales lol

Hey cam welcome and well done for so far and good luck for the rest keep us posted xx

Hey the journey to ketosis can be a rough one but you have done well so far my advice would be to stick out for a day or to and if your still struggling then move too the other plans. U might wake up tomorrow feeling great, I hope it gets better for u xxx

Thanks toots I have been telling myself that I'm walking around with a five pound poo inside me lol. I've taken drastic action my dad is hiding the scales and his not to give them back till the end of may

Hey welcome guys good luck with exante there is a sticky somewhere about making the shakes/soups a bit nicer. U can put tablet sweeteners in the shakes and cinnamon or coffee in the vanilla I think that one is quiet popular. Tobasco sauce can go in all the soups as well. I think there's a few...

Sounds like ur doing well sorcha well done keep it up x

Love the list Cybil what a great idea I might try that myself later x

Welcome guys and good luck on exante get passed the first few days and you will be feeling great. This site is brilliant I could not do exante without it, even if I don't post a lot I'm always reading it :)

Good luck Tammygirl xxx

I don't understand what's happening to me today I know the dangers of daily weighing but I've never been able to resist and I don't pay any attention to the odd gains. But the this morning I stepped on the scales and I'm a whole 5lb heavier even confirmed it with a second pair. Please someone...

Hey tammygirl Well done on choosing exante I believe there's a few bride to be's in here. I find the shakes quite nice but I don't like the soups. But don't let that put you off as everyone's different, but what I will say is they are generally quiet nice I'm sure you will be ok on them...

Well done pixar I wish you all the luck you should also have a fairly easy ride into ketosis if you have been low carbing x

Well the only thing you can do is not go back to the same bad habits as before that made you gain weight in the first place. It does not mean that you can not enjoy the odd pizza or kebab but you need to learn moderation. Thats where I went wrong I blame it on my age lol. I was only 19 when I...

Technically when we eat off plan it's not actually cheating. We make these food choices because along side this diet we have to have a life, we all have birthdays, weddings and nights out that we can't and don't want to miss. The word cheating is an act where we do something we shouldn't to...

Lol I'm glad I've been able to entertain

Well done Kazz it's such a worthy cause I've literally flooded my facebook with advertising my sponsorship lol.

Lol sorry guys it's my iPad was set to auto correct

Well done you sounds like your having a very positive day. I'm the other way with bras at the moment they have become slightly big and I need new ones. I don't want to spend a fortune because I dare say they will get big to. I'm trying to have a positive feeling week because I'm just into the...

Lol I think we can all relate to having that that one person at work that makes us feel like that. Have a nice stiff drink of water to cool down lol

Lol well done Sammeh xx

U can have asda diet coke and any brands that have malicious acid not citric acid. There is a sticky that names a few drinks that you are allowed

Having done cd many times and now exante I must say I prefer the taste of exante but you don't get tetras like you do with cd. If you can do it without tetras come over to the darkside lol x

There's a list of allowed drinks in a sticky thread Also 6pm is a great loss it's all in the right direction you will get there x

Well done Mini x

Also had delivery of my new iPad today which will make things easier as it's not ideal on the iPhone. Went for a jog this afternoon only a light one but I added a meal today as well as I'm worried I'll burn to many calories.

I'm sorry this is happening to you but i really wish it would for me. I'm a g cup and i have lost over two stone and they have not gone anywhere. ould love to be a few cups smaller as when im thinner they will stand out even more lol x

lol the pizza bit made me laugh, some people tryto reduce their carbs a few days before but for me i also had a wacking great big meal and it did me no harm. After all it's the last meal i was going to have for a while i wanted to go all out lol. There's not really much to add that has not...

How do u make yourself stop weighing everyday? I can't seem to help it even if I get rid of the batteries I have scales at work im always jumping on. I don't pay much attention to the daily weights as I know it fluctuates but it would be nice to get in a habit of doing it weekly

When u say little and often is 250-500mls at a time to much? I'm always on the move with my job and it's difficult to get back to the nurses station to have a quick swig so I tend to do 250 at a time or 500 if I'm behind.

Lol I've had a pickled egg now so I'll see how my Weightloss goes

I also have those salter scales my Ww ones always gave different readings. I'd def recommend the salter ones x

Good luck to you new starters I'm a month into exante and must say it's the best diet I've ever done (I've done a lot lol) it's not always going to be easy but it is very rewarding x

Do any of u guys go to the gym whilst on ts? My main fear when coming off this diet is not that I'll gain back but that I will be left with saggy skin. So I want to start going to the gym to do some of the more toning exercises. I've not updated my stats recently I'm currently just over fifteen...

Ladygaga I'm a nurse as well lol I work in Broomfield hosp

Seven weeks was their next available but I will be checking for cancelations x

I would wait till you have done a month on the diet and take the months loss as a whole i think you will be pleased. Loading three is still good and it does not mean u wot lose more next week x

Well done on completing day one christine and good luck for the rest x

Well done that is a great loss x

Thanks everyone I'm back on it today x

Welcome Louise lots of luck to u xxx

I have to agree with ladygaga go to ur gp asap, gall stones are known to be a side effect of TFR's. It's best to nip it in the bud soon as x

So this morning when I woke up I was feeling great, I had another 3lb loss taking me to 17lb in three weeks. Then the afternoon came and I Had my driving test I worked myself up about it so much i was having a panic attack in the waiting room only to be told there had been a computer problem...

Honk for day 15

Thanks guys I must say I'm actually enjoying this diet xxx

My boyfriends mum is the same she keeps offering me food and telling me I'll gain it all back. I avoid staying at his as much as possible but she's impossible to get rid of altogether. We all just need to stay strong and prove to them that they can't beat us x

I lost 4lb this week guys :) good luck to everyone x

In down another 4lbs making my first stone loss :) :) pretty pleased considering TOTM reared it's ugly head over the weekend

Wow good luck to all u day twos these feelings ur all experiencing will pass after a few days x

Honk

I'm the winner :)

Hey lots of luck I think Losing 8 pounds first week is achievable x

Good luck guys im nearly two weeks in, get passed ur first few days and u will be fine x

I tried the bumper pack but can't stand the soups, not to keen on chocolate shake either but it makes it cheaper to just put up with it and order the shakes bumper pack and some bars x

U will feel like this the first few stays but believe me it does pass try and drink some more water and good luck x

I have my second weigh in tomorrow and I've been on TOTM last couple of days so I'm not expecting a great loss this week. I know we tend to lose less at this time but Will my body make up for it next week and lose what I have not be able to lose this week? Hope that makes sense x

Not any more lol

Morning all

Hi there peeps

Honk

One of my patients I'm discharging today has brought in a massive box of iced danishes I'm being strong and resisting just wish someone would eat them all up quickly

I have completed day four if someone could add me please x

Honk

I got one of those to I got mine from Lakeland it's very good for smoothing a shake x

Honk even though I'm making my patient some toast I'm not caving

Completed for day three x

Well done u did the right thing x

Honk

Also completed for day 2 well done everyone. I can't add from my phone if some could do it for me please, Thankyou. Here's to another completed day tomorrow x

Thanks guys and good luck Sarah pop on here when u can it's good support. Get past days four and five and you will be fine x

Is this where ur putting the team results? If so I'm team one and I lost 10lb if someone could add it for me please as I'm on my iPhone and I can't x

Thankyou :)

Thanks guys it is a good feeling I'm going to try a whole week this time without sneaking a peak at the scales x

Had my first weigh in I've lost 10 lb :)

I have lost 10lb and gone from the 16's into the 15's :) I could hug my scales if they had not had my cheesy feet all over them.

Totally agree with you starlight x

Good luck ladygaga this site is a great source of support x

Love the motto good luck everyone x

I agree with starlight u will be burning off more than ur taking in, maybe it might be a good idea to look at the higher calorie exante diets

Good luck x

Honk day six x

I have never tried lipotrim but exante shakes are lovely I find they fill me up ok once I've got used to it. It's also a lot cheaper to, the bumper pack works out a 100 pound a month.

Lol well done you for resisting x

Sorry that was meant to say chuffed bloody iPhone predicts what I write even if I type different I sometimes forget to check

In still eagerly awaiting my first weigh in, I have had a sneaky peek and I've lost ten pounds I'm well chugged with that x

Wow well done you have had some great losses looking at your signature x

Lol I grab my belly all the time

Honk up to day five :) although I'm on nights at the mo so this is technically my morning

Well done to all of u, u have all done so well. I can't wait till I'm a few months in and I can say that.

I also totally agree this site is what led me to starting exante

Hi guys I've just joined ur team my first weigh in is Tuesday, love the name slimply the best x

Hey good luck in also in my first week x
