    Should I change from Exante to S & S

    If you feel like a change hun then go ahead :) you can always go back to exante if S&S isn't for you (although the shakes, soups and meals are gorgeous so you'd be crazy if it wasn't :D). It's cheaper and there's much more variety too.

    You both are completely right :) I'm just beating myself up over it & by doing that, sabotaging the diet myself!! I've started over and so far so good! I've done well today although felt sooo hungry and desperately wanted to pick at the babies food, so I had a couple of ryebreads instead... hope...

    Wow really? I'm definitely not happier with a slow weight loss :( but I hate feeling guilty when I do cheat lol so thought WS might be better for me! Plus with the cheating that means coming out of ketosis so the diet will never get any easier!! Ahhh confused! x

    Well I knew having my soup too early for my lunch wouldn't be a good idea :( I was hungry by 4pm so wolfed down my bar and the hunger came back by 7! Whilst washing the pots I discovered OH had left a few bits of cooked plain pasta in the pan, & instead of throwing it... I ate it :( oh the...

    lauryn's jouney to being a yummy mummy!

    That's a good point actually! I'm off to meet a friend tomorrow and take our babies to the park, so maybe weighing myself before I go will spur me on and give me the motivation to not be naughty whilst I'm out! I found yesterday & so far today, to be really easy, but I think my problem will...
