3lb off this week. 19 days till jollies , ideally want next 11lbs gone! Can only try :)

Well done on getting through week one, my kg conversion is a bit rubbish, but well done anyway ;)

The Exante site forum, has nutritionalst info that mentions its depends on individual tolerance. A few weeks in I had some flavoured water with citric acid and still lost and have had diet coke when out. Try whenever to avoid, but hasn't been an issue when I've had.

Good luck with the re-start and you've clearly been making good choices if you've not gained . X

Morning, well quick Monday weigh in , this is now day 5 after a week break and lost 7lbs, that includes my gain and takes me to 2 stone loss! Hoping to get the next stone off before jollies in just under 4 weeks. Hope you all have a great week. X

welcome aboard, I missed this week as ended up going away, back last night. Quick weigh in this morning, have gained but getting back on plan today. Holidays 4 weeks tomorrow!

Well done on your stone! I lost 2lb this week, pleased as struggled beginning of last week after planned meal. 1lb off my 2nd stone! Here's to another good week!

HONK!

I've tried the maple aswell as the blueberry, both good. I also read on here someone just uses the shake packs, which also works.

Well done on the 2lbs, hope you have a good week. I did an early weigh in Sunday , showing a 3lb loss. Had a planned meal out Sunday for my best mates birthday, somewhere we've been waiting to try out for ages. Had a great night and the food was fab. struggled abit yesterday evening, aiming on...

I've just been adding more water, to make similar consistency as a normal pancake. Worked well, made 4. Wish I'd ordered more, love them!

Good luck for your first day, I found that once ketosis kicked most food thoughts subsided which is very liberating!but the site is a good distraction when you do. Don't worry about current weight, you will defo be in your next stone bracket very soon. X

Good luck, the only way is definitely down! :)

Oh I've just got my new order today... Including pancakes, looking forward to trying!

Thanks, my new 4 week box arrived today. Got some new stuff to try ... Nice to have a change!

Yeah, I reckon Mondays are a good! Keeps you focused over the weekend ;) I'm still over your start weight! But the only way is down!!

Well I survived food week and lost 3lbs, had a couple of days when I went over calories and one day off ketosis friendly foods, so pleased with the loss. Had some bad news over weekend, had to keep myself occupied to make sure I didn't lose it. Anyway back on TS this week. Hope everyone has a...

Good luck with your first week, exciting that your wedding is nearly here! X

Really pleased, wasn't sure I'd make it a week! I'm on the add a meal week, so think it will be a smaller loss this week, but still feeling focused. Yes, has got easier , seems to have gone really quickly am now ready to order my next 4 week box!

Well done on getting through week one, 12lb is fantastic. I've lost 19lbs in 3 weeks, 10,4 & 5 so definitely achievable to get good losses after first week. Hope rest of your week is good.

Yeah, fantastic, really chuffed for you! Are you going to add meal for week 4? I have for last 3 days, have been taking a lunch to work as makes it easier around people and ha one packs at night. Just getting ready to order my next 4 week bundle :)

Great stuff! It defo works, here'sto another good week. X

Will keep fingers and toes crossed! X

Cheers ladies. I was surprised this morning, have actually just weighed myself again at my in- laws to double check my scales are right and still showing 5! :) Had a chicken noodle (slim noodle) salad for lunch, which was amazing! Lol. So just need to keep on track this week with the food...

5lbs off this week, total of 19lbs. Hoping to pass a stone and a half next week. Introducing add a meal, so need to keep focused.

Good luck for the Monday starts! 3 weeks tomorrow since I started, going well so far. X

Hi, I just counted the 500 calories on down days, salad and homemade soups etc .

Oh no, I got the bumper. Ox with a variety in... Not the ones you've got. Only one I'm not really struck on is the chic mint, but rest have been nice. I agree with Moisy, might be best to order something else then you don't get out off!

Ah shame. The first risotto I had was pretty grim, i try again, soaked it for longer and added smoked paprika, salt and pepper and it was more edible. My first porridge was too runny, but managed to sort that. Think some just needs few attempts. To be fair all the other meals apart from the...

Hi, I have been having my first pack later in the day. Sometimes wait till I get home from work. I'm not sure I could wait to finish a bar, I seem to get through it pretty quickly! I cook for my OH, although he does cook aswell. I was asked to make a cake for a work the other day, but decided it...

Hi Lesley, good luck. I've just started week 3, wasn't sure I'd make it this far but going well so far.

It is only specifically coke zero though, or anything without citric acid ( which isn't very much) as that will knock you out of ketosis.

Oh yes! We can do it :)

Hi, good luck for your start. I' m just heading into my 3rd week. Suppose it's what you feel is best about other people and who will be supportive. I waited a week to tell close family and a few friends, including a few close work friends. Other than that don't plan to tell everyone at work...

So my Bank Holiday weigh in is showing a 4lb loss, 14lbs in total. Ready to tackle the next stone!

Well done on your stone! I've lost 4lb which also takes me to my stone. Feeling much more motivated today ;) hope you have a great week.

Great loss this week and the last 8 weeks! Here's to another good one and cracking your next goal.

Cheers, I'm focused on not having any extras! Had a 100% TS today and like Berry looking forward to a clean slate and new week tomorrow.

Hi Berry, I' m also on my 2nd week, weigh in tomorrow. Also been more difficult. Had a pre planned work meal out on Thursday night, had debated cancelling, but decided to pre plan and ordered a chicken salad, only extras was diet coke instead of just soda all night. Since then although been...

Good luck, I'm also at the end of my second week. My top tips would be treat yourself, I got myself some flowers and nice bubble bath when I had to go in the supermarket. Also drink plenty, the days I've felt I was struggling I'd not had as much to drink. My second week has also been a been more...

Hi, good idea with your clothes, it's excitingrediscovering whats hidden in the depths of your wardrobe, lol. My first goal is 10% -26 lbs, lost 10 last week and second weigh in tomorrow. Good luck with your next weigh in. X

Hope your weigh in goes well. It's really motivating when the clothes start to loosen up!

Hope the first few days are going well. sounds like a fab trip planned! I always go wild on holidays and get , my upper arms out as no one knows me, lol. We really shouldn't care!

Hi, I did IF last year for about a 3 weeks, but not with packs. L ost about 10lbs. Good luck, and will be interested to see how you get on, as I would go back to up/ down days again.

Wowzer, amazing loss!

Hope it goes well for you both, I'm just over a week in. I've just told a few close friends and family in last few days who have been really supportive. I work with lots of opinionated people so not up for all the earache at this stage!

Fantastic loss!

Need to invest in new scales, but the old ones are showing a 10lb lss this morning. Really chuffed and bless my big sis who says she can already tell ' around my chops'! :happy036:

Good luck, hope your first day is going well. I've just completed day 8 weighed myself and have lost 10lbs ! I've only had a couple of packs I didn't like, but it's worth sticking with it.

Oh exciting to hear that weight loss helped you! Boy or Girl? I lost just under a stone last year and got pregnant, but put back on plus more after a miscarriage last year. cycles currently very irregular so hoping this will sort me out.

Good luck, hopefully this will be your last day of not feeling great. I'm on day 7 of Exante, pleased to have made it this far and feeling good, so stick with it.

Well I ordered one of the bumper packs to get me going, I tried the Mushroom Risotto on wednesday after work and really struggled. Don't think the grey colour really helps. Was worried as there are 7 in the pack, I decided to have for lunch today to get it out if the way. Soaked it for a lot...

Good to have mini goals, especially on a long journey. Overall i want to lose around 6 stone. I'm going away in 11 weeks so ideally, with the week I've just done would love 3 stone by then. However as we are also trying to concieve everything I read says 10% loss increases fertility , so that is...

I tried the almond and hazelnut milk a few months ago, really liked them. Here's to a successful next few weeks!

Cheers. So far i've found it fairly easy to get into, think I've well and truly kicked into ketosis today as had to turn the heating up, but hopefully that will go towards a good loss when I weigh in on Monday. How are managing with the two Dolly?

Thanks, today I've got a very clean house, lol. Looks like you are doing great achieving your goals!

Well i've almost completed a week on Exante, going week so far so thought it was time to say hello! Been getting lots of inspiration over last few days on here. My short term goal is holiday in July, long term want to get healthy to increase chances of starting a family. Good luck to everyone.

Hi, glad it's going well so far. I started Exante on Monday! Here's to us being losers!

Well this is day 5 for me, so my first Friday night. Hubby is just having a beer and snacks so I've decided to run a bath and read for a while! Going well so far, just started to read through the threads, which is helping. I've had a few attempts at other diets over last 18 months, but...

I did a VLCD years ago and it really regulated my cycle, hoping for the same again!

I've been back today looking for inspiration and considering giving SW ago again....you've helped me decide! Wowzer, truly inspirational. Great to see you can achieve such great results. Well done!

Hi, I'm trying 4:3 mon, weds & fri as down days for now but will see how it goes. Have been using personal fitness app everyday to keep track as has been a long time since I've noted calories. Enjoying it so far and actually looking forward to fast day tomorrow! When you thinking of starting? X

I've just read the Michael Mosley book recommended on here, explains how it all works and really interesting about the health benefits of intermittent fasting. Really worth a read. X

Hey, I jumped ship from s&s after finishing a week, made decision before re ordering. Lost 9lbs, but think this is going to fit into lifestyle better than s&s and seems to be lots of health benefits. I have a some packs left, but decided to go real food for first proper down day. Had fruit...

Cheers, good timing for book, wil get on kindle. Started today with an up day as was on s&s yesterday, proper down day tomorrow.

Lol, I told DH last night I was gonna give JUDDD a try, a week after telling him I was trying slim and save, luckily hadn't told many others about s&s or would have felt completely barmy!

Had a good read about it last night and have decided to go for it! Hopefully the only way is up and down:D

Lol, I'm just browsing and considering starting. Started slim and save last week...due to reorder tomorrow but heard about this for first time from a friend this week. Had no issues with s&s this week but wondering already how it's going to fit in with social events planned. Would you recommend...

Blimey, 3 stone...no wonder I always struggle with them! You could be my worlds strongest woman buddy!!

Lol, watch out for me on next years worlds strongest woman...dog lifting.

Can I go in interview rooms with them? Have had previous experience of struggling to access loos, can be awkward when in middle of interview.

Yes, need to have the air stocked up!

Well the dogs have just been weighed at the vets....combined medium lab and small collie weigh 6 stone! Round about what i want to lose, yikes....i can't even pick the lab up. That has motivated to ditch the excess weight! Time to increase my walkies :D.

That sounds scrummy! Will be on my to try list.

Yeah, think they need to be checked a lot so as not risk overdoing them until suds the right temp nd length of time.

Lol, well I've posted on recipe page to ask the person who posted about them as my attempts tonight weren't v successful! I cutoff 50g from a white cabbage, seperated on oven tray and sprinkled with smoked paprika. First batch binned as oven too hot and burnt after 15 mins, second batch on lower...

Sometimes, but not where I was today. Will need to plan better in future.

. Was unfortunate I had to fit in a few interviews that over ran, and then meeting in afternoon and more about bad diary planning trying to catch up after Xmas!! I'm not really guzzling at the moment, just slowly topping up :o

Yeah, like the idea of a superpower!!

How long do you put in oven for and what temp,I had two attempts to tonight, but managed to frazzle them both times!

The hyper sensitive senses are definitely a side effect, I opened my spice cupboard up yesterday and nearly passed out it was so strong...never usually notice. I also knew hubby had eaten a biscuit before he came to bed last night, lol!

Sure it will show when you weigh in. X

Weather forecast is supposed to be getting colder at weekend, so we best all get layered up!!

Agree defo go for water, I felt hungry in the night on unday, last night I took a glass with me to bed and it helped. X

Well it's day 5 for me and I've had my first real s&s dilemma. As part of my job I sometimes have to visit places with maximum security and few facilities. Today I ended up spending morning and afternoon in two establishments, with no access to water. I managed to have an hour back at the...

I did that the other day and put them in the spaghetti....realised once cooked I could have easily had half. Tonight I'm splitting, 100g mushroom, 50 g cabbage ( to try the crips) and 50 g olives.

Life - Guard

I did a VLCD 6 years ago and my periods were spot on 28 days, they are now few and far between after gaining weight in last 12 months. Main reason I'm doing the diet, Hopgig to kick start them i to a regular cycle again as TTC.

Fab loss! X

Hope day one goes well, I'm holding off aswell....water only so far today!

Don't be disgusted with yourself, be proud that you're taking control!! Enjoy your day x

Weight - Lifting

Teeth- bite

Hope you're enjoying your belated Xmas. I started Friday, going well at the end of day 2!! You've got a good goal to keep you motivated. I'm Also s&s ing to give myself a better chance of starting a family!! X

Cheers, for that :)

Hi, Apologies if this really obvious somewhere. Just made swede chips, 200g uncooked, 100g cooked....which weight counts? Wondering if there would have been room for more veg on my plate ? :) Cheers

Up- town

Wowzer! Good going!!

Side - bottom

Good offer, I stocked up this afternoon, unfortunately no wait rose in my area :sigh:

Hope your return to work went ok. I'm using CBB as a distraction to help me get through first few evenings on plan, lol. I treated myself to 2 coke zeros while watched!! Looking forward to trying mac cheese, may have tomorrow. I had salmon & swede chips which were surprisingly good!

Hi :wavey:I'm just coming to end of day one...so far so good .

Board - walk ( wanted board - er - collie, but not one word lol)

Eating - out

Defo seems to be working for you, great loss! I've just been and bought some chicken breast and fish so gonna try 3.

Lol, never thought I'd hear cabbage and crisps together! How do u make them? And are they cabbagie? ;)

Wine - gums

Good idea! Does it not impact on weight loss? I've just been looking at recipe thread, some good ideas. May also be good for lunches as I don't want to let on to lots of ppl at work at least and till I'm in the swing of it.

So my packs have arrived. Have read through the info, but not sure whether to do 3 or 4 packs? What do you do? :rolleyes:

I've not done a VLCD for 5 years, but have been on and off SW. Decided same as you to move forward and focus on doing this now! Here's to a fresh start!!

Thanks and good luck to you. Luckily I mainly drink water, so not too much of a change... But I've got myself a punt glass out! See you've already had a great loss, well done. :)

Fab loss!! Well done. I'm just starting on my pints of water, lol!! I did Cambridge 5 years ago, wasn't sure in last few months if I could do something like the again, but coming on site did really inspire me ( I hadn't heard of s & s till the other day on here!! ) .

Hi, no tips yet as also my first day! packs just arrived. We can do it ;)

Great idea!! Not sure how to copy and paste list from my I-pad, but I'm in. Had message to say packs here in next hour... So today is first day. Rosey38 -10lbs ( 0lbs down, 10 to go)

Well you gotta focus on the good today and move forward ;)

Lol, just had a look. I agree!

This is clearly a good time to start :o I'll probably use my mums then for now. Hoping the clothes will give me an des of how I'm doing soon. How have your first couple of days gone?

Cool, enjoy y our weekend before the big day ;) I'm hoping to start tomorrow or say, thought I'd be better getting into it before I'm back to work on Monday. Dob't really want to tell colleagues yet.

Yes would be good to spur each other on!! I'm hoping for an early delivery and get stuck in!! What are you going to do about weigh in? I currently don't own scales, thinking of popping to my mum's, but not sure how accurate they are.

Just getting ready to start in next few days, really useful thanks!!

Well I'm glad I had look on here yesterday, it's really inspired me to get my act together. I 'be decided to give slim & save a go and have placed my first sample week order today, should be here tomorrow...so hoping to start tomorrow! Looking forward to meeting fellow s&s ers!

Hi all, well i've been holding off till the new year to make some big changes. This year I'll be 36 and I need to get a grip of my health as my DH and I really want to start a family. I've previously done Cambridge and Slimming world. Really like SW but last year I just couldn't get into it...
