Very healthy - well done

Aww. We usually go to Frejus for 2 weeks at Easter but it was too early in the year this year :)

I might have to hunt down those sausages and see if I can have them. I thought you meant the sausages weighed 1g in total so had visions of you digging in win a toothpick and magnifying glass

I second the chicken with double salad - yum. Coke Zero on tap - awesome! Enjoy

Grr. Migraine....bath and bed. Guess the exercise won't be happening tonight...again

Hi. I have just started week 5 but still feel like a newbie! Welcome and good luck

Wow. I would love to do monthly weigh ins but I know I would lose focus. I am moving from daily weigh ins to weekly so need to hide the scales from myself. I am hoping to try fortnightly at some point down the line. Congratulations on the skinny jeans. I bet you feel awesome in them

Well jealous of the 22 degrees. Is it the south of France you are from?

Ahh breathing isn't essential is it? Get dancing around your bedroom in your teeny tiny dress :)

Me too :) We have a few weeks of products left so sensible husband says we don't need to reorder for a few weeks but I know I won't cope well if my choices become restricted

Week 4 weigh in today and snuck down to 13st13.5 so scraped myself into this group. I have lost just over 2 stones to get here so suspect I will be here for a while but I am delighted to have made it into this group! Static rhubarb - how did yesterday's weigh in go? Have you moved groups yet?

Week 4 and 1 measly pound lost but that is enough to know me into the 13s so time to move groups :)

I have lost 1lb this week, which isn't great but it does mean I have lost over 2stones and moved into the 13s :)

Lost 1lb this week, which I feel disappointed by. However, I know I need to exercise more so am going to get annoyed by this week's result to spur me into action for the week ahead. On the plus side I am now in the 13s and have lost just over 2 stones so it isn't all doom and gloom. My next...

Well done on the loss. I didn't realise you could get cash back on exante. I will have to remember for next time. I used to be much better with topcashback and have had a lot of free money out of them in the past

What are 1g sausages?

Well done on reining it it whilst away but getting back into it now that you are back. Hope that gain just disappears quickly

Slimatea still hasn't worked its magic so I will have another cup tonight. I feel so heavy, which is annoying as I don't feel good about tomorrow's weigh in now

Still plodding away but have felt ridiculously heavy and bloated for the last 24hrs. Had a slimatea last night but that doesn't seem to have helped so planning another tonight

Sounds like fun. Tough mudders keep popping up on my ads on here. I have no idea why and I will not be clicking on them anytime soon

Hope today goes well and well done for getting back on it

I find it easy to be good with nandos and I don't feel I am missing out. The kids had a subway yesterday and I felt great not indulging (although I could have had a chicken salad)

Don't be too hard on yourself. Your body told you what you needed and you listened to it. You have plenty of time to get to your goal by your wedding

Well done. It feels strange eating out with the kids but not eating. Today was nice as we had a nandos with them but I feel a bit cheeky sitting in a restaurant not eating, I need to get over that silly feeling though!

Wow. I love the garden. We artificial grassed ours 2 weeks ago but still need to do the finishing touches

I think 3lbs is pretty reasonable. I put on 2lb in one evening off plan earlier this week. Banners on here are a bit crazy. I know these things usually adapt to your browsing habits but mine is currently showing ads for 'tough mudder' races!

Feel stuffed, which is funny. I love that they have Coke Zero on tap but have gone way over my 330ml per day

Eek! In nandos actually having food. Chicken and salad. I suspect I will be back on the scales again tomorrow to see if it makes a difference but should be a fairly 'good' meal. It should also keep me in ketosis shouldn't it?

Another NSV. Was a size 20 when I started at the end of March, today I am wearing a size 16 jacket I haven't worn for years. The top button is a bit of a squeeze but the waist is perfect :)

This stage isn't easy, there is nothing you can do but either get through it and give it time or just give up. Only one of those options will let you reach your goal. One day you will just wake up energised and no longer hungry. I am on week 4 and I find it strange that 3 weeks ago I was a...

Popped on the scales this morning and Wednesday's pizza express gain has finally gone. I can now put the scales away until Wednesday :) We are going for a wander around Newcastle today so I might have a look for a decent skin firming cream as I am paranoid about saggy skin

I love it. Might have to try to work out if I can add it to my diary

Yawn! Tired today and a cracking headache. I am not getting enough water in and I have been struggling to get through my packs so ending up on 2 per day, which is just not ok. I need to go back to writing down my water intake again and forcing myself to get shakes down me in one sitting

Well done on resisting the Saturday night voices

Hope you enjoyed your Indian. Hope you have a good day in the garden today and the weather holds out for you

Hope the training is better than you think it will be :/ Are you going to wait until next Sunday to weigh in or have a sneaky peak when you get back?

Sat with the kids in the food court whilst they have a lovely subway. I can smell delicious food everywhere but feeling content with my Coke Zero :) Love looking at the windows of clothes shops with lovely clothes. Can't wait to reach a size I feel happy being so I can buy some lovely outfits :)

It does seem to have been an odd week all around. The slimatea is working and my ketostix say I am heading back into ketosis. All is good with the world again!

Mmm! Chicken fajita! Which meal did you add it to?

I am terrified of the add a meal week. I was supposed to do one this week but don't feel ready. When it does feel right I might try every other evening but just stick to fairly simple spiced chicken and veg

I love the creamy coconut and the rhubarb and custard

Still grumpy this morning :( Scales have shifted down a little so hopefully I will be back to a loss by weigh in on Wednesday. I know I need to stay off the scales but Wednesday night was my first time off 100% TS so I have been curious about the impact on the scales. I think I had expected a...

It is a herbal tea. Holland and Barrett's sell it

Have hit my 10,000 steps for the first time in ages. Feeling that grumpy tired stage again now :(

I bought slimatea to clear myself out and it seems to work well

Yum. Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend

Well done. An extra pack sounds like a great plan I have struggled with water this week so need to start logging my daily intake again I don't think it is unrealistic at all. What is the importance of 27th May?

I think I was just curious about what the effect would be and for how long. My ketostix say I am still not back in ketosis but hoping I will be by tomorrow as it should be faster than first time around. I think I need a cup of slimatea tonight too as I feel very heavy. Hope everyone has a...

I made the wrong extra pack/out for pizza decision on Wednesday night - oops :(

Welcome and well done on a great start. Moving to the Caribbean- wow - what a great motivator.

Another diddy gain on the scales this morning after our meal out in Wednesday evening. A bit annoyed that it is still affecting my losses but proud that I was straight back on it 100% yesterday, whereas the old me would have had a wild 4/5 day bender! Hopefully tomorrow's peak on the scales will...

Urgh. Went out for tea last night. Had pizza.....and prosecco......and half an Easter egg. Wasn't as exciting eating real food as I thought it would be!

Well done on getting back on it. I have been weighing daily for my first 3 weeks but need to stop now so might need to hide the scales from myself

I love the decrease in BMI, I know it isn't the best measure in the world but I have gone from obese class 2 to obese class 1 and am only 1 stone away from being overweight!

Thank you. I am feeling really pleased with myself. My BMI has come down from 37.something to 32.2

I love the sound of a January wedding. There is something so beautiful about the crisp weather. My mum remarried one December and her photos are stunning with a beautiful frost on the ground, giving an amazing shimmer to everything. I got married in late July. It rained my photos are awful and...

I have done daily weigh ins for my first 3 weeks to keep myself motivated but also stop myself getting over excited about my perceived weight loss and putting myself in a situation at the end of the week where I thought I had lost at least 3 stones so any decent result would be a disappointment

Week 3 weigh in and have lost 4lbs, bringing me down to 14st0.5lb so pretty hopeful I can leave this group next week :)

Week 3 weigh in and I have lost 4lbs, which I am really pleased with.

Week 3 weigh in and lost 4lb, which I am delighted with. This means I have hit my '25lb lost' and am only 0.5lb away from losing 2 stones - eek!

The egg is still in the cupboard. This week I have noticed my rings getting much looser, which is very novelty as when I have previously lost weight my fingers don't seem to have changed at all. When I was pregnant with the twins nearly 9 years ago I swelled too much to get my real engagement...

Ok. 3rd weigh in tomorrow morning so looking forward to kissing more weight goodbye forever. Hope tomorrow goes well

I have done Cambridge before but found the sessions a bit more of a mini meeting/sales session than counselling. With exante I have a nice book that I am using as a diet journal to track my progress but also to counsel myself on bad habit and trying to change my associations with food.

I had Diet Coke in the first couple of days just to use up the cans I had but then switched to Coke zero

Well done on the fab loss. I love looking forward to my next goal. I should hit -25lb this week but I don't think I will make it to 2st lost this week but it gives me something great to aim for next week

Welcome and good luck. How did you find your meals?

Last night I was sure I could jut have a little chocolate but my husband is going back to work tonight so I will be home alone for a while and, having seen the Easter egg in the cupboard, I am suddenly incredible hungry. As I am from Yorkshire I am too thrifty/cheap to throw it away and the...

Wow. That is seriously fantastic. Well done

I am just using a variety of Avon and body shop lotions on my body and Neal's Yard potions on my face. I didn't know what brand or type would be best longer term but I think buying some really decent stuff could be my mini-goal treats, at least as I get further through and have less body I...

Well done

Hope tomorrow's weigh in goes well. I need to think about some treats along the way but it is so hard to think about how any mini-goals will look or feel. I am slathering on the stretch mark cream but feel I need something specifically for firming. I keep getting comments on having lost...

The twins are only 8 and the littlest is 6 so not ready for ironing training yet :( in fairness, my daughter is visually impaired so not sure ironing will ever be a wise move for her! We went to a family night at my boy's beavers/Cubs, which was great but I won a huge mini eggs Easter egg and...

I feel like I need a slimatea tonight but can't risk it for work tomorrow :( Supermarkets and matalan do some great holiday wear for a mix and match capsule wardrobe. If you buy cheap and cheerful it doesn't matter if they're not in your forever size

Eek. Congratulations on your interview. Your trip looks utterly amazing

Hello and welcome. See how you go with the exercise and extra pack, you might find yourself too tired to exercise later this week but that feeling doesn't last long. Hope you have another good day tomorrow

That is great. Do you think you can hit 1 stone this week? If you are still bunged up you could try slimatee, it has worked well for me and my husband.

I love the choice and like adapting what I am having to my mood. I am 'lucky' that I have coeliac disease so can't eat gluten. That means I can't have bars, porridge or pancakes as well as some of the meals. I think I would find choosing between shakes, soups, meals and bars a bit much but I...

Good on you for having a break and fab motivation in getting straight back on to it. Hope Friday shows the weekend wasn't a big deal. Have you not even had a peak on the scales?

House is looking a little better so my good mood is continuing. Hoping to sweat off another 0.5lb tonight with the evil ironing pile. I hate ironing and never iron anything of my own but 1 husband + 3 kids = 20 school shirts per week :(

Feeling in a ridiculously good mood today. I don't know what that is all about but :) We are going to leave work earlyish tonight as we are out with the kids from 6-8pm but it would be great to get some exercise in before we go out, even if it is just housework. A bit of vigorous cleaning might...

I have told as few people as possible. At work I just say I am watching the calories

I messed up my timings yesterday too and only had 2 packs - not good

Wow. Well done You are doing so well and I bet you feel fantastic

Can more than one person sync to them? I would love to keep an eye on body fat as I go too but not sure if the scales would get confused between me and my husband as we bother have fitbits

The non-scale victories are the most exciting. I have the same pair of jeans in an 18 and a 20. I used to confuse them and nearly cut myself in 2 with the 18s but they are perfect now. I wore the 20s by accident last week and realised it wasn't just the top of my knickers poking out of the top...

Welcome and good luck. I have 2 out of 3 meals per day as shakes but love having a proper meal each day. I have an evening meal of either the curry or soup on a weeknight and either cereal or eggs for breakfast on a weekend.

Ooh. I keep eyeing up the aria scales but not sure I can justify them. What do they do that boring bog standard scales don't do? I did it! I went to the gym. I didn't do masses but I went and sweated a bit!

Wow, great loss so far :) What is your plan for the weekend off?

I think my grump has lifted :) I need to start building in some exercise but it always seems to be a better idea to start 'tomorrow'

Well done on resisting so much temptation. We thought about going to the cinema yesterday but I didn't think I could resist popcorn so we didn't risk it :(

Wow. That is amazing at Pizza Hut. My period has become ridiculous over the last 3/4 years too. 3 out of every 4 are ridiculously heavy and I struggle to function.

You can do it! Imagine how nice it will feel to be able to let your hair down and celebrate Saturday night when you hit goal

I am determined that this summer I will get lots of pictures of myself with my family. It occurred to me that if something happened to me the kids would have no photos to look back at :(

I don't think I have any/many photos of myself. I avoid them by making sure I take all the pictures :(

This thread might help. https://www.minimins.com/threads/what-can-you-drink-on-exante.197219/

Hi It can be any 3 products so use as you wish. Coke Zero is fine but you are supposed to limit it to 1 can a day. You need to avoid any drinks with citric acid in. You can have herbal teas so long as they don't have citric acid so avoid some fruity ones. You can have sweetener too. Hope...

Enjoy your new car. It is a shame it isn't a nicer day to take it for a spin

Your face looks so different and you look so much more confident and sparkly too :)

Thank you. Sat watching the kids wolf down sweets and chocolate but not bothered in the slightest so obviously whatever I am feeling is more grump than hunger! My husband and I have decided that at some point we are going to treat ourselves to a nandos. We can just have chicken and salad so it...

I am much the same and shouldn't be hungry but am torturing myself by looking on facebook as friends have checked themselves into various restaurants and looking at the menu and decided what I would have had - why am I doing this to myself?

Ahhhhhhhhh! I am in the mother of all grumpy moods today. I have had a lovely long shower and chilled with a face mask but that didn't help. The weather is making me grumpier so I thought I would have a nice hot soup to cheer me up but tried tomato and basil soup for the first time and it was...

Feeling bleary this morning so having a little lie in with the cat

Wow. Brilliant resolve - well done. How was the egg foo Young?

Hope you feel a bit better this morning

I need to start hiding my scales from myself

Thank you. I am feeling very smug now for resisting. Tonight could easily have become a pizza and prosecco night but I am so glad I resisted. Tomorrow night I have been invited for a girly wine, nibbles and gossip night. I am still trying to decide between avoiding it until I am further in...

Happy birthday. I am in awe of your motivation.

Hope you enjoyed your bath. I am jealous that you forgot to weigh in. I am obsessed with the scales and start counting down to next week's weigh in as soon as I get off them. Everybody is different so it could be that the non-100% day sticks with you for longer and the other 6 perfect days...

Aww she is gorgeous. Hope the rest of your birthday is wonderful. Well done on having a carefully thought out treat

Hello and welcome, I am much the same and need exante to strip back my relationship with food and try to rebuild good habits at the end of my journey.

I am so cold today and am hungry now. I wish TOTM would hurry up and go as I think the hunger is down to that, not real hunger as I shouldn't be hungry by week 3. I feel like I am in real danger of slipping tonight. I think I might overindulge in Coke Zero as a decoy!

My breath is awful. Peppermint tea masks it for about 10minutes but I just wear a lot of perfume to try to detract from it. Friday at last!

Wow. You must have walked for miles and miles

Another night, another trip to paperchase! I usually bite my nails but an odd side effect of the diet is that I seem to have stopped. I hope it lasts so I am trying to make my stumpy nails look pretty but less nibble-worthy by painting and pampering them. Another weird one but does anybody...

Put your feet up tomorrow night with some fizzy water in a wine glass and it'll feel like the real thing

Hello and welcome back. I am only in my 3rd week but loving the diet

I can't imagine being at or close to goal but I don't know how I would feel about stopping exante so, like Bexster, I think I will use it for 1-2 meals a day and dip back in if I feel clothes tightening

Groovy granny and I am glad you have had a nice day

I would love to go clothes shopping in s clothes shop rather than in tesco whilst buying groceries. I just haven't valued my own appearance or wanted to invest in remaining any particular size for so long. I would love to feel happy trying on clothes rather than fat and vulnerable :(

Wow. That must be a seriously hard job, I hate reading some of my student's background files and the horrible things they have had to go through

Wow. I need to up my exercise and relocate my gym bag! Need to stop making excuses and get my bum in gear. I feel grumpy at the moment so need the exercise endorphins

Thank you Really tired at the moment and struggling with energy and hunger pangs at the moment. I think this is more related to TOTM than anything real. I seem to be really struggling with my water intake at the moment too. I have had 3 cups of tea today but only 750ml of proper water.

Jealous of both of your weather. We have had wall to wall rain and gloom. The forecast was showing snow at the weekend but that seems to have disappeared now luckily

What do you do for a job?

I love the bottom one. I think it would suit your skin and hair colour. Hopefully the samples will take ages and then you need to thoroughly talk through the decision! You might be able to stall by 4/5 weeks!

One day it will just disappear. Has the energy kicked in yet?

Thank you

Well done for distracting yourself both times

Good on you. I would never have thought onions would be high in carbs but I am guessing you didn't eat several onions so I don't think it would have much of an impact

Thank you

Fantastic. You must be feeling seriously motivated now!

Thank you. TOTM is making me a ravenous food monster. I was sniffing some of my student's breath this morning for a chocolate fix but have been behaving a little more like a normal person this afternoon.

I had one on Sunday and am thoroughly evacuated. I might have one each weekend but need to be home for them!

Lost 4.5lb with my week 2 weigh in this morning so have hit my 10% and lost over 1.5st now. My TOTM arrived this morning so I don't know how that might have affected my weight but I woke up this morning feeling like a beached whale. I would love to lose another 4.5lb this week to bring me down...

I think I might have icy smoothies on a weekend just to mix it up a bit

Congratulations

Hope work calms down after this storm but well done on sticking with the diet when things have been crazy

Look on the bright side you are back on here and on track, you haven't done down the slippery slope, you have just dangled your legs over it!

I feel tons better after my 1 slimatee on Sunday but I can't imagine using it every day!

Week 2 weigh in and lost 4.5lb, bringing me down to 14st4.5 so hoping to make it into the 13s in the next 2 weeks

Week 2 weigh in and have lost 4.5lb so 12.5lb in 2 weeks :)

Yum. That all sounds delicious

How are you getting on?

Your diary is very inspirational. Thank you so much for updating.

I love having my quiet time reading through all the other diaries but it is quite time consuming isn't it! I love the Indian style curry with rice as it feels like a proper meal to me

Totally. Nothing like spending the afternoon living in fear of a repeat performance and having to run out of my class! Hope everybody else's days have been less eventful:)

What a day! Felt great and then at the end of lunchtime I pooped myself without warning. Absolutely mortifying! I go straight to the loo and everything was salvageable but I then had to make it through to more lessons and a revision class before I could come home and shower. I have no idea what...

What time is your exam tomorrow? Can you go have a bath and de-stress?

Hello, My husband is doing it alongside me too. It is great having the support but hard in terms of competition when men tend to shift weight a little easier. I am currently battling and staying at about the same loss as him but he started only 1lb heavier than me and he has just started...

Ooh. What sort of options do you use for your meal?

Feel great now. I think that flavour shake might not be a first thing in the morning option! My husband is doing exante too so we shared a can so I could have 2 hits a day!

Which version of the plan are you doing? I am dazzled by all the options so am just doing total solutions so I have no options!

So sorry to hear that. Life can be such a b&(ch, there are so many people who could be amazing parents but aren't blessed with kids. I would love to foster when my own kids are older.

Oh no. Hope you feel better soon

Feeling quite sickly this morning. Had an orange and pineapple shake for breakfast and it tasted different to normal, much more artificial and not pleasant. Strange how tastes change so quickly. I feel quite nauseous now but not sure if it was the shake or overdoing the housework before...

2lb is great with TOTM but strange if your cycle is being messed about with. How many weeks have you been on plan?

I had half a can earlier too! I am clearly wild and crazy on a Monday night!

Have finished school work for the evening so watching TV and trying to warm up. Might treat myself to half a can of Coke Zero!

Sounds great, thank you :)

I am petrified of general anaesthetic so couldn't voluntarily have surgery.

I would stall and decide as late as possible then. I hate making decisions!

Ooh lovely. I haven't been to Ireland since I was a child

How has today been?

Wow. Do you have them starter, main and dessert style or stagger them over the evening?

Well done. I hope work improves soon and you hear about the application soon

I have never heard of fitness blender. What is it?

I don't know how any of us can get around the desire for instant results. It is great that you are back in ketosis so quickly

When is your holiday?

I can't imagine having a permanent wardrobe. My clothes are mostly from matalan, primark or Tesco because I always want to lose weight so don't see the point in spending more on clothes that won't fit soon in my mind. However, I have been this size for 3-4 years now :(

Hope the client meeting/drinks have gone well

Grr! Shops sizing drives me mad. I would say a 14 if you are nearly there as July is a very long way off, is it late or early July? However, it is a lot easier to make a 16 smaller than a 14 bigger (and very different mentally!). When do you need to order?

My body doesn't work like that. It is awesome that everybody works differently isn't it? My big problem has always been leaving too long between meals. I have always been a breakfast skipper and usually a lunch avoider too so would happily have my first food at 5pm, last food at 9pm. My body...

Have drunk 4 litres of water already today. It has been gradual so I am guessing that is ok?

Well done for resisting. I do better with losses if I eat earlier in the day. No carbs after 8pm and all that!

Oh dear. It might be down to your breath changing as you get into ketosis. Don't forget that you can season if that helps with the taste.

How many days in are you? I had an awful headache and on day 4 felt totally awful but have been headache free since.

What size are you at the moment?

Is the carb content similar across all the packs?

What did you decide to do in the end? What time are you having your breakfast? I have breakfast at about 7am, lunch at about 12.30 and then tea at about 7pm

Oh no. I feel like everybody is going to disappear on me :(

I would love a boob job at the end of all this too. I love the creamy coconut, it feels like a real treat doesn't it?

Whereabouts are you on the scale for ketosis? Mine isn't the furthest along, which worries me. It is more of a 0.4/0.6.

Phew survived work. Nearly had some fruit from the wellbeing fruit bowl but then remembered not to! I work with my husband and he has had loads of compliments on weight loss. My only compliment came from the lovely caretaker but was a lovely comment about it really showing on my face so I was...

For me a hangover will always beat my willpower. I do way more damage the day after alcohol than I do by drinking itself

Hopefully any damage will be quickly undone though

All ready for work. Strawberry shake for breakfast and the kids chose me a cookies and cream shake for lunch

Tomorrow is a new day:)

Fantastic well done on the loss and on getting down to the next stone down

No, I think I will just go for them when needed. I might try one again on Friday night

I chickened out. I feel like I am still 'processing' this morning's so it might not be wise

Yes but it is supposed to be in the evening so I am counting this mornings as yesterday's!

I think it might be. I am a bit confused that it seems to be marketed as a diet tool in its own right. I can't imagine trying to lose weight solely by spending a couple of months on the loo! Which illustrations/images were yours? I would love to see some of your work. I have a total paperchase...

Hope it works it's magic for you soon. I am considering going for a second cup. I have a fairly light day at work tomorrow so can risk some runs to the loo!

I would love to be able to do a monthly weigh in but I am on the scales 2-3 times a day. I am still trying to get my head around my body and my weight. I lost 8lb in my first 5 days of exante and then struggling to get to 2lb off in the following 6 days, it doesn't seem to make sense.

I had my tea at about 9am and had the first effects at about 1pm. It is still clearing bits out now. I feel better now, although I wasn't constipated to start with but I feel a bit clearer. I am quite tempted to have another cup on an hour. I certainly wouldn't be trying them on a workday. I...

Hope you have had a good weekend

Realise I haven't had my cup of normal tea so that explains everything! How I have got to nearly 6pm without realising that I don't know!

How has today been Kerry?

I can't have any of those but they sound delicious

Glad you had a great time and hope you recover from the hangover soon

Glad you had a good time. Very jealous of the stuffed but not the hungover!

Feeling very tired today. Not sure if it is that I haven't had enough water today or post-Easter Sunday night blues.

Slimatee contains frangula bark, Senna leaf, peppermint leaves, hibiscus flowers, black tea, goldenrod herb and mate tea!!!

I don't really see the need for the meal week. My husband is doing it too and is trying to schedule or meal week into our meal planner and I don't understand the point of it. If I am not hungry on 3 packs then how would I fit in a proper meal on top of 3 packs?

I only have that bacon eggs but need to try the normal ones

Wow. That is amazing willpower. I would either have not gone or gone and blown it

Can I be cheeky and ask when have you done your meal weeks? I feel very nervous of them. I am finding exante pretty easy whilst I have to have 3 packs/shakes a day but the idea of dealing with the freedom of making a meal scares me, I might not have hunger anymore but I do have greed.

Wow. I guess it has to slow a bit at some point, especially when you have done so well.

How many weeks have you done now?

Well done. Every lb moves you closer to goal

I am on the plain tap water at the moment but looking forward to getting some fizz as a bit of a treat. I think it might need to be drunk on an evening only out of a champagne flute

My first cup of slimatee is cooling and I feel a bit nervous of how/whether it works. I don't feel in any discomfort, just like I am not properly emptying when I go. The packet says to use on a night but it may take 9 hours to take effect so I don't fancy being up all night on the loo...

Are you a Wednesday weigh in too?

Busy day with lots getting done. Great to feel productive and energised. Have hit my 10,000 steps goal so going to reward myself with a trip to paperchase :)

Hi Welcome and hope it goes well

I have been for some of this tea. I am not having a major issue but don't feel things are getting fully emptied. Need to pop back out later so guess I need to wait until I am in and can stay near the loo!

I have a laminated list I check off too. It is the only way I can motivate myself

It seemed to be a yesterday thing. Today I am much more myself. I have spent a couple of hours cleaning and am much more content with the state of the house. We are going to pop to the post office to renew my driving licence with a new photo. Hate having my photo taken but am feeling quite...

Looking forward to seeing how Wednesday goes for us all. Have a great week

There is a diary section too, which is where I tend to hang out. I am not sure on the carb content of olives and if they would effect ketosis. It is always best to weigh in at the same time of day, it doesn't matter so long as you are consistent.

I was obese class 2 when I started and am now obese class 1. Didn't feel that was one to celebrate. I can't wait to be overweight!

Where are you going for food? If pasta is freaking you out then have something else so you don't hate every bite you eat. I should love Parmos as I love each individual ingredient. You can take the girl out of Yorkshire but you can't take the Yorkshire out of the girl, it might be my mental...

Sorry you're not feeling great. My weight loss seems to have stalled too but I know how many calories (predominantly from Easter eggs) I was consuming before so with the reduction to 600 calories a day I should be losing and throw ketosis in the mix it is impossible that I am not losing, the...

How many weeks do you have until your holiday? Can you stick picture of your destination on the fridge to remind you why you are doing this?

Morning, I think my TOTM may be on its way, which is odd as it is a bit early. I sort of hope it is as it might explain the fact that my scales have barely budged since Monday and I spent most of yesterday in various moods, varying from tearfully angry to hyperactive Duracell bunny.

I think it is partly the combination of the ingredients and partly the vague memory of being in a takeaway on a night out and seeing people eat them out of the box with their hands whilst sat on the floor.

Tomorrow is a new day, don't look back. Have a great day

Hope you have a great weekend. It sounds action packed

Hello, I was surprised by the cookies and cream shake too. I couldn't taste anything cookie related, just milk.

I feel like I have been a bit stroppy and moody today. I am not sure if it is diet related or just me being a moody cow though! Bought some cans of Coke Zero earlier and had half of one. It tasted amazing, I think I need to ration them so they taste like a real treat when I have one. Does...

Kebab and chips sounds gorgeous but Parmos freak me out

Well done and hope you have a good weekend in both senses of the word

Well done on the loss. I like the lemon cheesecake more watered down but still feel like I have to chew it!

Seems strange if it is 4 months away, that is tons of time. I am a Spanx fan myself but home bargains often have them in for about £6.99

Have had a busy morning, followed by 2.5hrs sat on my bum at the hairdressers. I have had a couple of inches cut off my hair so hopefully that will contribute to the weight loss!

Phew. I might do one in the morning then as I had managed about 3 litres of water today by the time the postman brought them. They also need to live in the en-suite as the kids caught me having a wee on a 'lolly stick' today!!!

I am the other way, I am pretty dozy at work and often absent mindedly eat chocolates or sweets if they are offered. At home I think about it more and remember I am on a diet!

I thought they would be handy for further down the line if I have a meal out so I know how close I am to getting back on track.

Ooh poached egg - yum! Hope you have a fabulous weekend

My ketostix arrived today and they show I am moderately in ketosis. Not sure if I should be the maroon colour by day 8 or not. I am having 2 cups of tea with skimmed milk per day so I don't know if that has an effect

I wish I had ordered the plain ones too but I got excited by the promise of bacon. I need to stop ordering more goodies, my house looks like a shrine to exante and I think I have enough to get through to 2017

I am competitive so the challenges get me going. My husband has one too but is training for a half marathon so I am tempted to unfriend him

Hope something from boohoo makes you look and feel fabulous. Could you put some of your bigger clothes on local Facebook selling pages Then you can get rid quicker and without having to post things out?

Thank you. Tried the bacon eggs this morning. They were 'interesting'. I think I quite liked them but I found them a bit much and couldn't finish them.

Forgot to mention that I have hit 2 goals this week. I have re-attained my losing 1st and got below my previous low when I was at weightwatchers in January. From here on in they are all new goals (well to 2016 anyway!) My next goal is to lose 1.5st overall and I only need 2 lb to get there

Fantastic on the loss. My Fitbit is such a huge motivator. I wouldn't get out of bed if it weren't charged

I am glad it isn't just me! I am either talking about food, writing in my journal about food or thinking about food. Not actually thinking about eating it but just nutritional values!

Thank you. Lost 8lb so very pleased with my first week :)

Started last week at 15st3 and lost 8lb, bringing me down to 14st9 and the next stone down. Would love to stay in this group for 2-3 weeks before moving down to the next group :)

Hurray. Week 1 weigh in and I lost 8lb, taking me down to 14st9 so time to move group :)
