So i'm back again and glad to say not because i have put all the weight back on but because i'm ready to loss more weight. After stopping last time i put on 4lbs within the first 2 days, but was expecting that to be the case anyway. So i'm now starting off at 17st and want to get another 2st...

There comes a point when you should start to take notice of what you see in the mirror and not what you see on the scales. Stick to plenty of cardio and the weight will come off. Make sure you don't over do it though if your on TS. Good luck

Just a quick update to let you guys know that I'm now off Exante. I done 4 weeks and lost 2.7 stone. I'm now back at the gym and enjoying it. i've got loads on over the next few months such as wedding and the likes and I plan to maintain my weight with a healthy diet and excercise but may be...

AMW, you been lifting heavy weights or keeping it light with more reps? Been thinking about what I should do. I'm joining the gym again tomorrow mostly just to go swimming for the first few weeks but I plan on doing a serious routine once I get the weight off. Seen the doc today to and got all...

Seen the doc today and got all clear. She thinks I've got acid build up and thats what's causing the pain in my stomach. She gave me meds for it if I feel pain but I'll probably avoid taking them incase it takes me out of ketosis. Joining the gym tomorrow so I can go swimming before work next...

Hey AMW, Weighed in this morning and lost another 6lbs. i to had a couple of add a meal days but have really stepped up the exercise in the last week (too much i think as i'm feeling really crap). been walking for around 1 hour 10 mins a day doing 80 sit ups (4 sets of 20) and 30 press ups (3...

Thanks for the advice guys. My start weight was 19 stone and now done to 16st 10lbs. I'm going to see the doc but fear he going to tell me to stop. oh well i suppose i'll just have to wait and see. Also thinking about it I'm maybe overdoing the exercise. I've been walking for 20 mins in the...

I've been drinking 4 to 4 1/2 liters per day so deffo not that. I've not had the runs either. if anything i think i may be going the other way and might be constipated. would this cause my issues? Also weighed in today and lost another 6lbs. So managed to get off 32lbs in 3 weeks. Is it...

Hi guys, I got my week 3 weigh in tomorrow but for the last few days I've had a sore tummy and get dizzy every time I stand up. Anyone else have similar issues. Seems to have started from Saturday when I did a day of WS. Had an omelette but checked next day and was still in ketosis...

Getting really bored now. Food is not a problem for me I'm just getting bored and thinking of switching to Atkins so I can get a bit of variety in my diet. I'm also feeling like I really miss not being able to go to the gym for a good work out as I know I could be doing more harm then good if I...

Good luck, i'm sure you'll be fine.

I started the day after they arrived, but only because i was at work on the day they came. My personal view on this is the sooner the better. yeah you may get to treat yourself for a few more days but i just keep thinking that these treats would be far better at the other end when i've lost the...

Pretty sure this is ongoing as long as your ordering bumper packs but not sure how long its been going on for.

Another 7lbs gone, that's 26 in two weeks:D

Week 2 weigh in this morning and another 7lbs off:D 26 in total so far. Next goal is to get to the 2 stone mark which should come in the next couple of days hopefully. Was hoping after last weeks massive 19lbs that i could get 2 stone in 2 weeks. but still pleased with the results so far.

Had a little wobble last night and ended up having 2 slices of cold meat. Very nearly got alot worse, but some wise words from the wife put things in perspective. Checked this morning and still in Ketosis so all not lost. Back on the wagon and ready for weigh in day tomorrow whatever it may...

Once again found the weekend difficult but managed to get through on 100% TS. Looking forward to Wednesday for week 2 weigh in.

Unfortunately she only lasted one day then got ill, at least she has an understanding of how difficult it is though.

Yeah, i've been doing house work to keep me busy. maybe going to get a new game this weekend while should help keep my attention for a while. been walking for around 3 miles a day, to and from work and at lunch time so don't want to over do it.

I cant eat the Exante bars, they are so dry. even the thought of eating one fills me with dread. only problem is though i have about 20 to get rid of at home. Keep them for emergencies i think. Tesco ones are awesome, had my first one yesterday

week 2 day 3. played 5 a-side football last night. only managed about 15 mins of running about and spent the rest of the time in goal. feeling tired but still no issues with hunger and dont mind even when others around me are having their food at lunch time. finding the most difficult part...

Ive taken up doing house work which has delighted my wife. Cleaned out the computer room and put the washing away last night

Also i'm doing shakes only next month as the soups are really not to my liking.

Had a tesco meal replacement bar for breakfast this moring and it was so much better than the Exante ones. Think the Exante ones will be getting used for emergency only.

Week 2 day 2 and feeling great. going to take the kids swimming after work today and maybe a walk afterwards if i feel up to it. finding i'm getting really tired in the evenings, but i'm sleeping really well. I've now convinced myself I'm doing 2 months TS without a break. had my blood...

thanks peeps. the weight loss has given me more enthusiasm for doing more exercise. Roll on week two. hoping to get 1lb a day off next week. We can do this!!!!!

I've had no issues with using the bars. i lost 19lbs in the first week and was having one every day.

Thanks AMW, Couldn't quite believe myself when i got on the scales. i'm hoping to get off about 6-10 a week. you had any thoughts on life after Exante? i know reverting to type and munching everything in sight is not an option but just not sure how i can get off with out risking big gains...

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah i'm happy with that loss. hoping to get off 1lbs a day from now on too.

Just sticking to the diet. walk as much as possible, have been getting off the train two stops early in the morning and doing a 20 min walk to work, then walking again at lunch time if i can be bother(or its not raining).

19lbs lost in the first week:eek::D

Ok so week one weigh in today and i've lost 19lbs. Started off at 19 stone and this morning weigh 17,9. heres to another 100% TS week.

there is no set weight, as you can imagine we're all different and loss at different rates. Exante as a estimate say 1 stone a month. i how ever started at 19 stone and lost that in less than a week.

Early July is also my target to get off TS. got a wedding to go to then. hoping 8 weeks on ts will be enough to get off the 4-5 stone i was hoping for. (tough ask i know)

Sunday was a real struggle. all my family and friends went the pub after the football and i joined them. only lasted about an hour and had to leave as i was desperate for a pint. the weight loss figures are keeping me going though.

reply from Exante. It is fine for you take multi vitamins whilst on Total Solutions. Cod Liver oil may however take you out of ketosis due to the oil content. 3 Exante meal replacements a day will give you the full RDA of vitamins and minerals. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you...

I ordered the bumper pack as it was my first order, thought it would be good to try everthing. Glad i did it because it confirmed my suspicions that i wouldn't like some things but has allowed me to see what works. good luck

Thanks AMW official weigh in is tomorrow so i'll go get batteries tonight. 3 inches in 11 days is awsome. dont know if i'm imagining things but i also am starting to notice a difference in the mirror.

Anyone else got thoughts on this?

Day 6 and still going strong. had a bit of roast chicken for lunch yesterday instead of my soup which was awesome. (just a small saucer) Not weighed in again but this is mainly down to the fact the batteries in my scales are done. suppose this is a good thing and I'll now wait to Wednesday to...

I just use a sealed jug with a little mixer ball inside. 5 mins of shaking and all good.

Honk :D

Ok so on day 4 and still going well but today as I've not been at work I'm finding all I'm thinking about is food. Been considering cheating all day especially as the kids wanted mcdonalds earlier and I had to endure them eating while I was having water. Anyway I've decide to stay strong...

Is it ok to have these on TS?

Yeah i'm goin to try and stay off the scales til Wednesday now. That's week one weigh in for me.

So day three almost of and still feeling good. Weighed in today and showing more than 11lbs down. for the most part trying to get the shake and the soups down are the worst parts of my day. :cry:

Just over 11lbs after first 3 days:eek:. Really gives me the motivation to keep going. i know i wont keep dropping off at this rate and probably mostly water, but i'm loving it.

All the details in here. http://www.minimins.com/exante/197219-what-can-you-drink-exante.html good luck

So my wife has just informed that shes been sick all morning and is going to ditch the TS.(but then i never thought she should have been doing it in the first place) I'm just finished my bar and had a vanilla shake earlier. also managed to get down about 3 and 1/2 liters so for today. Feeling...

I'm really struggling to get any of this food down. yesterday was bearable but feel I'm verging on being sick every time i have a drink of the shake. hope i can stick this out.

I'm really hoping to get 1 stone off in the first week. Tough ask i know. but I'm sticking 100% and walking a fair distance each day.

Is it wrong of me to have jumped on the scales today? Couldn't help myself this morning when brushing my teeth. i know it to early to tell for sure,but the scales were showing nearly 7lbs down from the same time yesterday.

I tried the Choc on my first day yesterday and really struggled to get it down but got there eventually. good luck

So start of day 2 and still feeling good. not had any of my "food" yet but not feeling like eating. my mouth is so dry and tastes terrible. I'll update later today.

honk

So now getting to end of day one and feeling really good. Had mushroom soup for dinner which I choked down(really don't like it) , but got there in the end. So all in all it been a good day for me. My wife who also started today is struggling and only managed her shake and most of her tomato...

Why can folk who use Cambridge have coke or dr pepper zero. Thanks in advance

So started TS today. Had around 2.5 liters of water so far and am currently half way through a choc shake for lunch. have to say the shake is not the best but drinkable so I'll just have to get on with it. Not really getting any hunger issues as yet but thinking this is more in the mind as ive...

Hi and welcome, I to am around your height and weigh 266 at the moment just started this morning and hoping to shift around 5 stone. Approaching this with an open mind as i don't exercise a lot, i don't know were the weight is going to go from. good luck.

Yeah think I'll give the Tesco strawberry stuff a try. thanks

good luck. i too got my pack today and will be starting tomorrow.

My stuff arrived today so both me and my wife are starting tomorrow. in preparation for this I've been trying to get the water down today. I've managed 2.5 Lt, and trying to drink 3 liters today. This on it's own at the moment seems to be a gargantuan task. I'm sure it'll be easier in days...

OK so i'll get my stuff tomorrow ready for a Wednesday start. What would you guys recommed for the first few days? I'm thinking Brunch - shake Lunch - 1/2 bar Dinner - soup And evening snack the other half bar. is this what most recommend or is there any better plan you can recommend?

Another man here. Should be getting my stuff tomorrow for a start on Wednesday. Great to hear about your weight loss. hope my first week can be the same.

Thanks for the help guys. Could I replace the soup for a shake?

Great to hear stories like this. I have a similar start weight to yourself. Getting my delivery tomorrow, hopefully being felling in the same spirt as yourself at this time next week.

Keep the chin up. All counts toward the final goal.

Yeah I'll be doing the same. Think a bit of herbs and spice will help get them down. Ive been looking in on the forum for a while so getting used to the water in advance. Would I be correct to say that a glass or 2 of one of the zero drinks like dr pepper be ok to have? I know it won't...

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I don't think the soups are going to go down to well. Can I replace them and do like 1 shake and 2 bars per day? Will be using the soups for 1 month at least so I hope I wrong but just wondering.

Well done

Hoping to start TS asap. Both myself and my wife are going for this so should make it a bit easier for us both. Was wondering about week 5 and do I HAVE to take a break for this to work? I'm 6,2 and weigh about 19 of the stones. Hoping to loss around 5 of the stones. Don't see many...
