Hi Lynda, I lost 6lb! Not been on over the weekend though as have had parties right through, not had a min! I am convinced some of this loss could be to do with the lack of food and too much drink! Got told at sw though that if I stick to the plan right through the week it should stay off. xx

Yea we defo will :) As for the sticks I really wouldnt bother too much with them, I have went from being dark purple to 0 in 1 day aswell. Iknow im in ketosis with the taste in my mouth and lack of hunger. Im not too bad on the food either, but i think after a couple of weeks i might be thinking...

Aww how do you know? are you using the ketostix? I was and i didnt think they were accurate at all so stopped. I hope you get back into it quick. I weighed in a day early today, I have lost 10.5 lbs so over the moon with it. When is your weigh in? xx

Hope you have a good day tomorrow, wont get on this until tomorrow night but i will be sure to update you with my official weigh in lol xx

How are you doing emily? xx

I think you will be pleasently surprised. Evenings are harder, im busier through day than night so it might just be that i have more time to think about food. wont get on this til tomorrow night so hope you have a good day and feel better then xx

Thank you young, im so pleased! It sure makes me want to keep at it! Hope you are doing good xx

I weighed in today, was meant to be tomorrow but couldnt wait anymore, i lost 10.5 lbs. Im still in shock, it makes it all worth it. I have a planned eat on sunday though, so not be as good next week xx

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow, i wont get on this til tomorrow night i dont think but will check in and see how you have done. Also good luck making the muffins, dont think i could be as strong as you, my wee girl wants me to ake her truffles, had to tell her no! Maybe in a few weeks :) xx

Thank you miss mac!! :) xx

You are doing great Nicky you are not the only one who is getting the mood swings lol, I am terrible. Its all worth it though! Keep it up, you will probably start to feel better from tomorrow xx

Day 7 is goin great, went through the whole day with a spring in my step knowing that ive lost 10.5lbs! Got my new pack today so had a choc shake a bar and im just going to have my soup, not even felt hungry today, I think im finally getting used to this!! Hope everyone is having a good day xx

Lol!! Thanks Valentine, it sure does make you want to keep going! Im still in shock, even on weight watchers the most Ive lost in a week is 6lbs! Im well on target to get thin for my holidays lol! Hope you are having a good day xx

Thanks Nicky, I hope so, that would be great! :) x

Thats what i had Jubbly, oh how things have changed ..... :) x

Thanks Antari xx

Just weighed in, couldnt wait til tomorrow...Ive lost 10.5lbs!! :eek::eek: :D Cant believe it so my new weight is 13st 3.5lbs. Maybe next week I will be in the 12s!!!

I have a planned eating day on sunday, which would involve alcohol lol, im not sure how safe it would be to drink on the total plan, so from tomorrow i was thinking of changing to the working plan just for this week. Decisions decisions lol xx

When you are on the working solution plan will you still be in ketosis or does that meal knock you out of it?

Thanks Nicky! x

Well done on your loss thats brilliant :) x

Thats great you are feeling much better about it all! I think it just depends on the individual on how quick you get into ketosis, so yes you may already be there. Good luck for today :) xx

Well done Muffy :) xx

Thats not bad eating that, it could have been worse! Good luck today, I hope your feeling better :) xx

Thanks :) Thursday is my weigh in although im so tempted to jump on the scales today!! I will wait though :)

Thanks Nicky, weigh in is on thursday morning! So tempted to get the scales out but I will resist foor 1 more day! xx Lol Clair, if they make me do that then I am probably best to stay away from them! Yeah I cant wait to weigh in tomorrow, hope I get the results I want to try and keep me going...

Well done on getting the 4 days!! Im going onto day 7 tomorrow, feel so much better than i did at start of week. :)

Well day 6 has went great, i had the mushroom soup for dinner, and i have got through the water i had in the fridge, ive not felt hungry at all today, my only moan is the taste of my mouth,I hink iv brushed about 10 times today! But if thats my only complaint then its not bad is it!! Final day...

Well done Nicky :) xx

I might give it a try 1 day then, even just for a little treat once a week. Wouldnt want to do it all the time if it destroys the vits and minerals. Thanks for the info! x

I have just been browsing around the minimins site and had a look at other diets, there is another vlcd plan that someone has posted a bit on about things u can make with the meal packs such as muffins from the shakes and poppadoms from the soup. Does anyone know if we can do that with exante...

Glad you r feeling a bit better today :)

I dont think drinking alcohol is the best thing to do but i was thinking i would sip away at a small glass whilst eating dinner, I will wait and see how it goes, i might get an amazing weight loss on thursday that will make me so determined to get thin that I wont want to eat anything!!( Im...

Good luck for your first wi :)

Thanks Nicky i will check it out. Your doing the right thing, this diet is hard enough without trying to do it when you really dont like the food! Really glad you are having a better day today :) xx

Well day 6 is going much better than I could have hoped for, I managed to get round the supermarket without giving to my desire to eat loads of junk! I even came home and made the hubby rolls and sausage before he went to work! Ive had my bar for breakfast and the strawberry shake for lunch, not...

Aw dont feel down, you are doing great! I agree on the bank holidays though and im being a bit weaker as i am having a planned eat on Sunday, we go to my sister in laws for the football (old firm) and we have a few drinks then sunday dinner. I have decided i am only going to have a little meat...

Thanks ladygaga! :) Thank you nicky, we will be slim and trendy for the summer! The supermaket wasnt too bad i was in and out quicker than normal! Probz because I cant buy any goodies for myself so it was just a case of shopping for my hubbie and kids. How is your day 2 going? Yeah that link...

Valentine that is so true about supermarkets! I had my first food shopping trip today and I must admit it was really hard but its something I am going to have to get used too. Well done again, that was an amazing amount to lose. xxx

Thanks Young, my hunger is slowly going away although i still miss eating lol, hopefully the scales on thursday will spur me on! I dont mind the mushroom and veg soup, but the thought of eating them every day for the next few months....eeew. But needs must!!! Well done again on your fantastic...

Thank you ladygaga and well done you on not giving in to the mcds and kfc too! Its sooo hard to do when you can smell it lol!! I just need to keep thinking that its that kind of food that has helped me get to where i am just now, and that is not a good place lol!! x

Well done that is brilliant!!

Thanks Chaz...if im honest though if my hubbie had stopped the car I probably would have ate one lol, feel so much better for not doing it today though! xx

Ive done not too bad, i will get there though. Well done, youve done really good, im sure you will still get a good loss even after eating. Ive got a planned eating day on sunday, im looking forward to it soo much :)

Thanks Nicky, i am going to keep goin, im just missing my grub lol, ive got a holiday booked in july and im determined to look half decent by then lol! I had a small tin of tuna on my first night, it was the best thing ever!! Well done on getting through your 1st day :) xx

Well day 5 nearly over, had a bar for breakfast, banana shake for lunch and mushroom soup for dinner. I have a wee confession aswell, i stole 2 of the hubbies chips at tea :( Feel bad but not going to dwell on it too much. Going to have a nice bath to stop me from wanting to munch this evening...

Well done that is great! :)

Thanks laura, you to. How have you been doing? xx

After you get through the first two days its not so bad. I think im just really missing eating food,hopefully tomorrow will be better. You are defo not the only person to moan on the 1st day, i started moaning on day 1 and ive not stopped yet lol. Stick it out, im sure you will get there xx

I did, nicky, just keep going, the headaches will get go. Im not having a great day today, i dont feel hungry but im craving food,im like a bear with a sore head!! Im going to stick it out til thursday when i weigh in and hopefully i will get a decent loss that will spur me forward. Keep going...

Good luck for your first weigh in 2moro valentine :)

Good luck, im sure you will do it! x

Day 5 and i just very nearly gave in to a burger king, the only thing that stopped me was my husband not stopping the car lol! I am going to be very scottish here but the thought of another exante soup or shake is giving me the boke!! I really dont no how im going to manage this for another 3...

Well day 4 nearly over thank goodness! I was quite hungry and light headed when i woke up this morning so i had a bar for breakfast then i had a banana shake for lunch and veg soup for dinner, inbetween this I had a bouillon. Ive also upped my water today to see if that helps with the headaches...

Give it a try this week and if you dont feel any different you can always try exante again. Thats the good thing about keeping a diary you can go back and check to see what your downfalls are. Whichever diet you decide to go with i am sure you will get there in the end, look how succsesful you...

Keep going on this diary, you never know you might want to do exante again. Dont feel bad it will happen to everyone, good luck for this week x

Im sure you will manage, i cant seem to get bread out of my head just now!! Time for another glass of water i think :) xx

Hmm probs just best staying away from the oxo then... xx

Well done 15lb in 2 weeks is fab!! U r doing amazing, i hope i get results like yours! x

U can use a spoonful of bouillon in water, i think twice a day, as well as your 3 meal packs its helped me for sure and it tastes nice but i would like to try and find out if you can use oxo, just for a change.xx

Well done, i dont think i would have resisted the panini!! :0 xx

Found u! Good luck again Nicky:) Valentine...do u know if it is ok to use beef oxo or bovril rather than the bouillon? xx

It will, i will check on yours aswell, it helps to have people at the same stage, there is a few of us on here who have started in the same week xx

Thanks!! Its been really hard but the support on here is great, when ever i feel like giving up on it I come on here and read some diarys, it defo keeps me going. Good luck to you and let me know how u find it xx

Can anyone tell me if it is ok to have beef oxo or bovril cubes rather than the veg bouillon?

Hi young dons, im on day 4 and have had the same kind of start as you with the headches and dizziness, although it did go away yest only to return today, lets hope it gets easier, good luck :)

Aw yum sounds delicious, My husband is taking our kids to his mums for sunday dinner today so i will just stay home for this week, dont know if i could resist it, I will sit out in garden with a mag and my soup and enjoy the sun, this better be worth it!! xx

Rather excited as i have finally found a shake i like, i am currently enjoying a banana shake, it is lovely! Well as long as i dont breath in whilst taking a drink, baby milk springs to mind!!! :)

yeah defo, even when i did ww i seemed to do it better when i was doing it alongside someone else, it really helps when you are unsure about something just being able to come on here and get the answers u need, and also just the support from people going through the same thing as you. Im giving...

Well done, you are doing great. Im finding it quite hard today, this is my first weekend on it and I am going to be missing my sunday roast, the sun is shining and i wouldnt mind a small refreshment in the garden too :( On a better note, i am on day 4, day 1 i had a small tin tuna but have been...

I think im going to stop using the stix, i have somehow went from being purple this morning to being 0 just now so according to them im not in ketosis. Yesterday I had dog breath, it was showing up on the stix tht i was in ketosis and i didnt feel hungry, today the headaches back the stix arnt...

Thanks Antari :)

How much water is everyone drinking in a day? Do you include the water that u use to make up your shake and soup in this? Im worried im not drinking enough water.x

Good luck valentine and well done on staying away from the bbqs :) x

Hi laura, I am on my 4th day today, and would also like to lose about the same amount as you by the start of july, as i go on holiday then to. This is my first time on a diet like this and i must admit i am finding it a little harder than i thought it would be but if I want to be slim then i am...

Aw i so hope i will feel better tomorrow then....this diet is so hard!! mmm sausages, i love sausages.................. :( x

Thanks, im not going to give up, but day 1 and 2 were so hard i dont think i could manage another day like that. I feel sick aswell, not good. I have just ate a bar with a pint of water and pain killers so hopefully i will feel a bit better after that x

Day 3- so much easier than the 1st 2 days, had the vanilla shake with a little coffee in it, a bar and the mushroom soup, i thought they were all quite nice. I didnt have a headache or feel overly hungry all day...great!! Woke up this morning on day 4 though with a mega sore head and starving...

Hi Ross, i am on my 1st week of exante, day 3 for me today and feeling a whole lot better than i was yest!! Good luck!! :)

A little update on day 3- i have had the most horrible taste in my mouth all afternoon so thought I would get the ketostix out and its purple :) I have had such an easy day (so far) i hope that thats the ketosis having the affect i want on my hunger pains!! :)

Love your diary!

Thanks valentine, we will get there lol! Tammy i was dreaming about food lastnight, an my husband had a chipie for lunch, i was drooling lol! Think i will c how i go on the total for a month and if im still craving really bad for food then i will think about adding small meals in. x

Good luck emily, it certainly helps with having people at the same sort of level! Im having a much easier day today than i have the previous 2. x

I cant wait til im in ketosis. Infact i cant wait to get to y first weigh in to see if its worth it! Not looking forward to the stinky breath though lol xx

Im doing good, ive not felt as hungry today and my headache that i had all day yest has gone now aswell, only day 3 though, wish it was my 1st week down already x

Dont be embarressed, im sure it happens to everyone, and it defo happened to me on the weight watchers. The main thing is you are back on it and not giving up, good for you. Your progress is brilliant x

Aw thanks, thats a great idea, think i will be giving that a wee try tomorrow! x

Thank you :) x

Well done! I cant wait until ive done as good as you, its coming on here and reading your diary that keeps me going so dont give up :) xx

Hi, try emailing them to ask, or even searching it on google, maybe someone else has asked the same question. Hope you get the answer you need :)

Day 2- Slept great and woke up feeling even better knowing I hadnt stuffed my face on Thursday, could get used to this feeling :) Had my usual morning black coffee then had a strawberry shake, they are ok but i would defo say the shakes are my least fave part of this diet. Managed to keep away...

Good luck, i just started yest too, i will keep checking to see how you are doing :)

Thanks jojo! 4-6 was the hardest time for me yest aswell! I was really hungry, then i gave in and had the tuna lol, could have been worse though i suppose. I really dont feel quite so bad today, cant wait till i go into ketosis and get this burst of energy that everyone seems to get though and...

Aw great, at least i can ask u what to expect in a couple of days lol. Im actually not too bad today, although i have a bit of a headache, but then it is only mid day!! I had tuna yest evening as i was so hungry but im really goin to try tonight just to stick to my meal packs. Do you use the...

Yeah i have had a wee look everyone seems to have done great, i cant wait to start seeing the results. I have a holiday booked for july so im hoping to have a wee bit off for then, i roughly have 4 stone in total to lose though. Thanks for the support. :)

Thanks :) I really hope i manage this, im setting myself mini goals but all i seem to do is think about food! This is day for me and i have a headache, could this be to do with the plan?

Day 1- Well my first day that i follow the exante plan, i woke up in morning not feeling hungry so i decided to hang of on having my first replacement meal. I had a coffee and as soon as i finished it i could feel the hunger pangs start so i opted for the chocolate shake, it tasted ok but...

I can control what i eat through the week ok, its the weekend thats a different story so we will see how i do over the next few days! Ive ordered ketostix from amazon, how many days roughly does it take for u to hit ketosis? I really want to do this, i lost 3 stone on ww then put it back on and...

Hi, well i managed yest, had a shake for breakfast, bar for lunch then soup for dinner, I was so hungry though i ended up having tuna at about 7pm. I felt guilty after it though:(

Hi, im new to this, i have just started exante today after another failed weight watchers attempt. All i can say is im sooooo hungry, please tell me it gets easier :(
