Hello All, I am back again after trying all sorts and yo-yo'ing back up and down in weight getting to my highest weight for a while over 30st. Doing Keto diet having around 3000kcals a day after getting a nutritionist. I re-started a week today starting at 29st 12 after Christmas and I am down...

As you know I think you are an inspiration mate - good luck with the weigh in today

Hello all - I have a couple of questions. I am 28st and 6ft 7 very active guy. I have done VLCD diets before Lighterlife etc and lost weight made mistakes and gained more weight. Question is in 6 weeks on total solution with exercise realistically how much weight could I lose? On...

I am back Chezz - got a holiday 30th March aim to lose 3stone before then. Determined more than ever.

Well done Jay - small world I know we talked off here - spurred me on now using the swelterwear suit each time I am at the gym or a 5-10km walk. Only started back eating right last week so won't get weighed until next Monday for sure. Keep up the good work mate.

Great news - how weird I have a pain or did have in the bottom of my back. Once I lost a few stone this went completely. I struggle with my right hip and left knee when I hammer the exercise. The knee is from an old rugby injury but the weight also makes it worse. Let us know how the...

Hi Chezz - Yeah great back in full swing of things gym, walking and the main thing diet. Cannot believe the amount of fitness I lost in 4 weeks. This time no breaks and hit the goals i have set. Hope you are well also. Positive threads like this assist.

Figment well done! Buffy glad to see your still doing well.

Your doing great with what you have lost! :)

Thanks - I think the biggest part of it is admitting that I went wrong. The positive is I did not fall back to the same weight so I am still alot lower than when I started.

Hello everyone - had a bit of time off the site - had a bad back slacked off the gym and fell back into old habits. I since got back on the wagon and I have put on around a stone in weight mainly boozing. So today is first day of 2014 to hit my goal.

14lbs i want to lose

Well done - huge amount to lose. :o

:D well done

Well done, a loss is a loss try mixing your foods up a bit as if you repeat your meals your body will eventually get used to the routine

well done x

Well done! next stop 2 miles :)

think I would have preferred a cuddle to be honest haahha

First time in a long time that this has happened to me :( but I went to the gym Tuesday felt fine but did not sleep well that night so yesterday I was hanging again. Needed junk and a cuddle haha and got chicken and asparagus and nothing haha

hahaha - yeah next year I want to be the ideal weight and feel better about myself. Pretty confident as I have always been a big lad but there are times when I am very conscious. Was my cousins wedding in May when I saw pictures of myself and thought enough was enough. Next treat is the 20th...

Hahah thats good having that much energy but you need to burn it for sure. It has only been today really today I have gained some energy since the weekend antics :)

Well Done JMA - do you find that you have alot more energy? I found when I got to about 26st my energy levels increased and I can push myself further in exercising and walking is easier on the knees.

Yeah I think that will be when I am around 50 haha then it will be a walk to the local and lovely food

amazing loss

Thanks everyone! I am not going to lie it was by far the hardest thing I have done I struggled at times knees and feet were in bits but I was determined to finish and not in last place. My fitness has improved so much since then with me going to boxing circuits pretty much everyday and eating...

I have previously ran the race at 29st in 2011 so I want to beat that time to show how far I have come over the 3 years since

Yes thats a good idea Chezz, I would like to be at my goal weight for next years November races meet. I also want to run the Great Yorkshire Bupa 10km race.

WOW huge amount of weight lost. Good on you. :D

I am officially hanging :sigh: to much drink Saturday haha Back on it today though hoping a good gym session will sweat the rest of the booze out of me. Recommend a day at the races for anyone. Just not the hangover afterwards :)

Well done Buffy x

Well done - thats a huge figure x

Good Luck on your journey

Fizzy pop is a problem if I do delve into it its normall Coke Zero or Pepsi Max as full fat versions contain so much sugar its unreal. But I agree I used to have 2 pepsi's with a pizza.

Hi Chezz, I am going to Doncaster races for the November Handicap with lots of my mates then we will more than likely end up on Ecclesall Rd then into the centre for some more drinks. First drink in about 6/7 weeks so will be most likely a messy one and the curry will soak it all up. Then...

I find it harder to get out of bed but need to get up and go to the gym and feel loads better after going. Soups are good also sweet potato with some chicken or salad etc

You can do it - how long until you go Oz now and hows the progress?

Slow cooker - some nice stews and casaroles :) sounds amazing great idea

Takeaways and junk food was a big problem in my life Chezz. I will be having a curry next Sunday for recovery of my hangover from the day before. This is my treat. I have been lucky that I am in a good mindset at the moment. We all have our moments, like I said just accept it don't feel bad...

Yeah - I find it very very hard, one don't want to get out of bed and I want to stay warm with a nice breakfast to start the day. I find changing from cold to warm porridge to make me feel a difference. Hate waking up in the dark going to work in the dark and leaving in the dark :cry:

Well done - keep up the good work. :D

Its very hard for us addicts. Its all about mindset. This weekend has been very difficult to me but Friday I get to relax and have the weekend off and then I am back to it Monday. Not every week will you lose. Like I said small changes are the key for me. Stopped fizzy pop now hardly touch...

This week was a difficult one as I am trying something new where I eat low carbs for 13 days then carb up. Monday/Tuesday was my carbing 24hours so im pretty much the same weight as before. Normally takes a week before I drop again so hopefully I will drop some before I go to the races next...

How has the past week been Katy?

A loss is a loss. Don't feel bad for eating the food just get your mind set and make small changes. I found it hard to jump from a junk food addict which I was am and still am to eating very healthy and small and often. If my mindset was wrong I would binge and feel bad then think oh well I...

Good Luck for tonight! :)

Well I had my carbing up day and now back to what I was eating before. Will give you a progress on weight lost next Thursday. Can be difficult due to the repetition of the foods but its working for me.

Firstly Good Luck on your journey. I myself was wanting to lose 170lbs so that I am able to function better in life. I struggled with planes accepting the extender its not a good feeling and I vowed next time I am on a plane I won't have to wear one. Well done on your massive loss. There...

Thanks guys, very nearly hit a milestone of 5st. Its very hard but started to give myself small goals and treats. I now will diet and train hard until 9th November where that weekend I am out so diet will be out of the window but thats my treat. I will then start hard again up until christmas...

Hi Katy - I to worry about the loose skin, been advised in places it will be loose but over time this can be come tighter. If not then may need to look into surgery. The main thing is that we become healthy. I was dangerously close at the weight I was risking diabetes and other things. Good...

Hello - I have been on this site doing the VLCD stuff, Lighter Life & Cambridge but think they are a quick fix and I am doing this for my life. I started eating well and training on 5th June weighing 29st 10lbs Today I weigh 25st 7lbs and I still have around 7-8 stone I wish to lose. Come on...

Thanks Sue x

lost a further 2lbs but i ate as was celebrating with my friends huge win over Matthew Hatton at the weekend. I am focused and 7 weeks go away so want to lose as much as possible for then

Thanks i have definately picked the right diet, good look with your weigh-ins

Week 2 weigh in 4lbs

Thanks Rosie x

Hi Guys, I am new to Cambridge Diet, tried others and failed but aim to reach my goal and maintain in 2012. One week in lost 12lbs, so happy but always a bigger figure in first week. Ta

This thread is very helpful, specially when I'm off TS. Thanks

I am doing well myself hoping for another big loss this week :) x

Haha, yeah pretty tall and back on topic, I am going to go to 24hr Tesco and have a look at these bars

I do not want to be doing that ha, I don't mind what I have now, its one of many knicknames I have that are useable.

Feel honoured that I wanted :) Thankies x

we are all behind you and support you though :)

Well done, 9lbs is amazing, keep up the good work and good luck at the interview

Got to love parents and granparents, my mum and nan still call me up and ask if I want anything fetching from supermarket, I am like just some water pretty please... I get told off by my nan though as she says " Im a growing lad and need some good warm food down you" Bless her, love her to...

Name has been changed now :)

Can I join this challenge? I would like to lose 55lbs for the August Bank Holiday

I would like to be in a team, any team that will have me if thats ok

I am changing it hopefully to bigB85, I've put a request for change just for you :)

Thank you all, and GSQ yeah I agree with you but when I'm at Ibiza Rocks with all my good mates and on water gonna be more hassle, I had another post on here the 77day target and I was going to week before do shakes and meals and then the week of Ibiza healthy food and drinks. But I know of the...

Thank you very much for this, my planned holidays are Ibiza for a week and a stag due in Berlin, I have it in my head that I won't be eating crap but the alocohol side will be very difficult, so may stick to vodka n tonic etc

thank you :)

You need major brownie points for that, keep up that will power and good work

Feel free to post a comment also and not just the poll :) I just hope that I can do this, I would like to know what the most weight someone has lost on Exante or a VLCD though?

How do I do this, as I do not have many posts I am restricted somewhat to do certain things... help me

can I ask what flavor the other bars are? and again I apologise ha, i would change it but don't think i can :(

I didnt think it through properly did i, it sadly is my actual surname =/ and knickname so always used it... Soweee :sigh:

You know what I am going to buy myself some of the biggest loser ones now :) Thanks

I'd personally stick to Exante bars 1 a day but if they are same ingredients etc then it shouldnt take you out of ketosis

Goo luck for the 23rd, I have alot of evil friends that want me to do it and are supportive but also try and tempt me away. Stick to your guns and you will do amazing :)

Thank you, I hope that I keep hitting high numbers

Week 1 for me 17lbs, thats alot of water gone. :) Happy though

I love the choc orange bars and I only buy enough for 1 a day otherwise i would be having 3 a day, very addictive indeed. Not seen these ultraslim bars though

The bars help alot but I prefer the shakes, but I also miss chewing.

I have set myself a goal that within a year I will lose the 10 stone that I have to lose to get to a healthy weight and maintain the loss afterwards. I would like on average to lose 5lbs a week which means that it would be 28 weeks for 10stone but I understand that been on a VLCD for that long...

Thank you, I agree the LL packs taste alot better than the Exante ones as there a little more floury, but they are not that bad for the price. My journey will be a hard and very timely one but in the end its for the greater good, my health and personal achievement and it will make me love...

I totally agree, the later the better in the day.

I wish I knew about Exante before hand because £66.00 a week for LL was alot of money to pay out.

Good luck, I have only done 1 week so far, i found first few days hungry before a shake is due but held out and just countered it with a glass of water. 2nd week I always find hard. just drink your water. i take my shakes 10am - 2pm - 6pm each day, just breaks it up nicely.

Yeah, sorry i am male, i hope that can be the case and then before the end of the year lose the rest of my weight.

Hey Guys, I am 25 years old and quite active, i am way overweight at over 25st and 6ft 7" in height. Realistically on the Exante TS with exercise how many lbs could I lose in 77days? I did LL before and in same timeframes lost 76lbs but the cost was too high, I am hoping for the same on...

The information on here is great. Thanks

Thanks, just alot of water and some light exercise. Going to step that up a little bit next week as I want to aim for 6lbs per week as an average.

Hi, Thank you, I am happy for my week 1 loss, need to lose 116lbs to reach my goal. Going to be hard times ahead but I am going to do it..

Hi Guys Hi Guys, I kinda started and stopped the diet as I was not in right frame of mind so rather than do it and cheat and fail myself I just ate healthier and normal until I am ready. I am now on my 5th day in the first week of doing it again, weigh in day is on monday. Its hard when...

this is really really helpful.

Thank you
