Hi Shona, just ignore them and be smug when you've lost all of the weight you need to.
I've had a few negative reactions as well, like yesterday a colleague said 'You'll just put all the weight straight back on again', I replied with 'Yes I'm going to lose 3 stone and then put 3 stone back on...
Hooray for Wednesday Weigh In's, whoever gets there first on Wednesday can start the thread :) I haven't weighed myself yet, I don't think I could face any disapointment if there was any!!!
Hi Biggie, I hope you feel better soon. I'm on my third day too. Feel a bit rubbish, like you I'm not hungry, just a little shakey and have a stomach ache too.
I went to bed at 7pm last night! I felt really low and tired. I know it's only temporary though, I think I should be ok by...
ahh what's with all the choco shake hate?! Lol, I think they're ok, not as nice as the others. The taste reminds me of ovaltine, it's more malty than chocolatey.
Poor old chocolate shakes hehe :)
Hi Roanne, yes you can have black coffee on Exante! It definitely does seem to be the cheaper of all the VLCD options out there, I also like the fact I don't have to have a counsillor and can buy everything I need online.

Hi Kay, good luck! I'm exactly the same as you, lost 2st calorie counting and exercising but have stayed the same for six months. Hoping this will kick start my weight loss again. We also have a similar amount of weight to lose.
I hope it's going well so far! :) I'm on my first day and doing...
Today is my first day too! I'm only having shakes at the moment and so far so good :) I really like the shakes, really impressed at how creamy they seem to be.
I haven't felt hungry yet either which is the most surprising thing although that could be because I'm really stressed at work at the...
I'm starting today, I tried making the shake by putting it in a water bottle and shaking really hard at first (it works for Slim Fast) but it came out really lumpy to. I bunged it in the blender for a few seconds and it came out perfect! I'm really surprised at how creamy they are considering...
Ah thanks Myaevesmummy! :) I've only ordered shakes, really starting to think I should have got some bars now! I'll see how I get on this week and order some bars if I need to.
I think I am going to start in the morning now, sorry ladies! My boyfriend wants to take me out for one last...
Ah I can understand you're disapointed as it's the first week, but still 5lb is great! It's in right direction :) You'll probably find you'll have a sudden drop in the next couple of days, keep going you're doing really well!
Hi guys,
My Exante bumper pack of shakes is due today and I'm wondering when I should start?
Should I start tonight and have one for dinner, or should I start fresh in the morning....and have one last pizza this evening!!
Thank you! :)
I'm really sorry to hear about your grandmother and your boyfriends attitude really isn't helping. He obviously loves you though otherwise he wouldn't be going on about the diet, he is worried for you.
I think Starlight's idea of letting him read the success stories is a good one. Or maybe...
Hi Laura, thanks for the advice, I like the idea about waiting until lunch for your first pack or shake. I'm a terrible snacker in the evening so having my last pack later in the day might help me there. I'll see how it goes, here's to being one stone lighter by June! :)
Hi Laura, I'm also starting on Tuesday and have about 3 and a half stone to lose! :) I've not done a VLCD before though.
How much is everyone hoping to lose by 1st June? I'm hoping to be 1 stone (14lbs) down.
I hope you feel better, I've had withdrawal headaches before and they're awful, take some painkillers and watch a favourite film to take your mind off things :)
Thanks everyone, I really just want to get stuck in now!! Good luck to everyone else who has just started, I'm looking forward to hearing about great results :)
Hi Valentine, thank you for the welcome :)
Congratulations on all of your weight loss so far!! You're very inspiring.
I really look forward to starting this plan. x
Hi! I'm Lana and I'm starting the Total Solution next week. I've ordered a month's worth of shakes today so hoping they will be here Monday or Tuesday. I'm going on holiday on the 20th of June and want to lose a couple of stone for it.
I'm currently 14st (ish), I'm going to buy some new...
Hi, I'm the same, I have contacted the councillor and they replied to my email but now I can't get hold of them. I really want to start on Sunday so have asked my cousin to get me the details of hers. I'm based in South East Essex.
I hope we can all get sorted soon!! :)
