Chazsucks, I don't think I can private message yet because I haven't posted enough. I'm not sure how many post away I am from being able to private message, and I'm not sure how to find out. Anyway let me know if you want any info, what did the health visitor say?

Sounds like you're having a tough time, i'm really sorry about your Nan. Well done for sticking to your diet! I work with small children and specialise in children with special needs and or behavioural difficulties. If you want to talk about the specifics I can give you some advice. if not...

I think they might say it because you don't have to have your Dr's approval to start the diet. I didn't eat food for twelve weeks on lighter life and I don't intend to on Exante. I didn't have any side effects, in fact I felt great! For me adding food is not a good idea, I'm all or nothing...

I had my baby last summer and have just managed to wean him, he wouldn't take a bottle so i couldn't go on a diet. I find ww or similar diets too difficult, I'm an all or nothing kind of person so am doing Exante. I put on so much weight while I was pregnant and have been feeling pretty sorry...

When you do lighter life during the therapy sessions you're not allowed to talk about food you've eaten. At the time I thought it was a bit strict, but I now I can see why. Talking about food really isn't helpful when you're doing a VLCD. Beware the saboteur! I think sometimes, especially if...

Thanks Cybil. What a beautiful day! Feeling okay today, I've kept myself busy although I had to avoid meeting friends for a boozy picnic. I don't like any one apart from my husband to know that I'm doing such an extreme diet. This us because I don't want anyone giving me their negative opinions...

When I did lighter life as part of the CBT therapy you keep thought records. They really helped me up until I got pregnant. Looking back I confused a pregnant stomach with being fat and my inner demons said, your fat what's the point. So here I am again! I did twelve weeks on LL without a...

Well done for still sticking to the packs, it'll be easy to get back to just three. But This is why I'm not going to add any food, I know I would do the same and undo my hard work. I'm just going to go for it! You really don't need the food and remember nothing tastes as good as being thin...

My baby had a broken nights sleep, therefore so did I, I think he's trying to practice crawling and standing in his dreams and it disturbs his sleep, so not a great start to the day, however. I have woken up with that thin feeling especially around my stomach, I know at this stage it's just...

I have previously lost the weight with LL TS, my old demons and a pregnancy led me to but the weight back on, this is the start of my journey to loose it again... Okay, it's day four and I'm pretty sure ketosis has kicked in. The soups are minging, I'm still getting a slight headache, I'm...

Thanks for that. I'm new to mimimins and haven't got the hang of the site I didn't realise there was a diary option, I might start one. I still find it hard to identify why I'm eating, it's so much harder when you're fat. The fat becomes the reason for over eating. In the spur of the moment I...

Personally I'm not going to add any food at all, I'm just going to keep going with the packs until I reach my goal weight. I did the same thing with LL, it's what the councillor recommended. I had no adverse affects and she was right, the weight came off quicker. Then once you start eating...

Hmmm, not really sure why that's happening. I suppose everybody is different, don't be disheartened. Did you chew gum or have any citric acid? Personally I don't find weighing myself all the time while am losing weight very motivational. When you're in ts you lose what you lose, you don't...

Thanks for the info and I think I'll buy that book. I think I'm now in ketosis, which has helped. It's all coming back to me now, once you get into ketosis you stop thinking about food and start thinking of the packs as fuel. I need to get through all the soups so am now halving them so it's...

Hi, I successfully did LL and lost about four stone, I then had a baby and put back on loads of weight. I have now weaned my baby so started food packs three days ago, I cannot wait to lose all this weight, I don't feel like my self and none of my clothes fit. The reason I chose Exante was...
