Ahh I see, thank you! X

Hey guys, quick question. Sorry to sound stupid, but what does Flexi syns mean?

Thanks for the lovely welcome guys! So far so good, just getting my head round the whole thing again. Filling up on loads of fruit and stuff. There really is no reason to feel hungry with this plan, and I like that! Lol Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hi and I can't wait to eat loads again! Lol It took me 3 months to loose 3 stone, but in typical 'I'll just have a week off' style it turned into 3 months off and eating like a pig the whole time and have regained a stone, but roughly 8 weeks for the 2 stone! I was averaging 3lbs a week, and I...

Hi there. Ok, so I'm a newbie to slimming world, although have done it in the past, the most recent attempt about a year ago. I've recently lost about 2 stone following a vlcd, and now feel its time to change the way I think about food. For the next few weeks I'll be going it alone, will join...

Well done GSQ!!! Amazing! Xx

Well after 2 weeks 'off' I've decided my head is in the right place for a restart. Gonna give it my all now till I reach goal. Not that fat away I'm hoping! Almost thankful for not needing to think about what I need to cook for tea etc, the most I have to choose is soup or shake lol xx

I know exactly what you mean. I'm really struggling with this last stone or so. Just can't seem to get my head back in the same place that got the other 3 stone off. Really wanted it off by end of november, which I know is achievable but just can't seem to focus. even having a serious work with...

Agreed! It was brill seeing the best part if a stone a month. Inevitably that was gonna slow the closer to goal we get. I think I can get back on track. After my holiday I was ok, I got back on alright but about 2 weeks into it I was finding it sooo hard. The only solution for me was to have a...

I too have had a break this week. Was really struggling, and didn't want to completely mess it up, so thought a little break to get my head back in the right place then crack on again. So my plan is to start again tomorrow, go head down for 3 weeks, then my parents are visiting so will have a...

Well I began my exante journey on 16th may 2011, and I'm only just starting a diary! I had a sneaky weigh in this morning (official weigh in on Monday's) and am looking at about 4 or 5lbs for this week. So that means only 1stone 2lbs till goal. Very pleased and all that, but also a little...

Hello everyone. So I'm back off me holibobs and a 2 week break from Exante. Back on tomorrow, looking for the same thinspiration that got me through the 13 weeks before my holiday. Just a couple of stone left to loose now. Hope to be somewhere near goal by the end of October. Wish me luck with...

Day 92, feeling a bit better today, voice gone, much to the joy of my staff and hubby! Lol still last day in work tomorrow! X

Yeah, I would have thought so. Maybe just to be on the safe side, have a bar/pack just before you go! Good luck! X

Haven't had any of my tattoos whilst on VLCD, but did have a piercing, although my friend did and she was fine, think she said she had her bar before she went? X

Mine only lasted a week or two! Stick at it! X

Indeed, well done you! Day 91 for me, still feel like a pile of poo, but at least it's taken my mind off food! Lol x

Well done hunni! Amazing loss! Xx

Day 90! Oh yeah baby! Still feel like poop tho. Full of a head cold. Dosed up on paracetamol only 3 days left in work before the holibobs! Hope you're well! Xx

Thank you! Off to bed when Harry Potter finishes! Craving all sorts of rubbish, but it's almost bed time so will poke up with it. X

Brilliant plan GSQ, a kind of beat the clock type thing! Day 89. Been really hard today, not feeling very well, full of a cold :-( hope it's gone by Thursday! X

Definitely, agree. I'm hoping to be somewhere near goal by about then too. Again assuming that my hoilibobs doesn't set me back too much. I'm too rethinking my target weight, but think I'm going to play it by ear a little. I'm thinking atm about another 25lbs ish to go! Soooo, let's get back on...

Definitely! Really kept me focussed! Christmas countdown, bring it on. We've just received a wedding invite for 10th dec, so another good focus, would be great to get a lovely dress and be looking all scrummy! Day 88, I go on me holibobs next Thursday! Less than a week to go! Woo! X

Day 87! Hair cut today ready for the holibobs, and I'm a, ahem, natural blond again! Lol

Day 86, 8 more sleeps till holibobs! Woo! Boring training again today, but hey I'm still good! GSQ, what will we do after this challenge? Shall we think of something after our hols to keep us on the straight and narrow? Maybe a home run or something? I've really enjoyed doing this with others! X

Welcome back!

Day 85! Had the most boring training day today, same tomorrow. Lunch was provided, but tbh looked a bit grim so easy to resist! Had a grilled chicken salad for dinner tonite, gonna add another meal tomoz and hope it speeds up the weight loss again! Hope all's well with you! X

I mean I know it's inevitable, and it's gonna slow down eventually, but I've still another 26lb or so to go, so am hoping for a bit longer at a steady 3lb or so per week! But hopefully a few meals ought to sort me out. I'm going to enjoy my holibobs, but defo not gonna go mad, really don't want...

Mushroom is my favourite one! Lol x

Day 84! Weight loss seems to have slowed down so am trying to aam for 4 or 5 days. Made a little concoction from quorn mince and put it in little gem lettuce leaves, was quite nice. Also it might help prepare me for my holibobs! Hope all is going well! X

Day 83 and another long day :-( gonna have a nice bubble bath (don't usually like em, prefer to shower) feel like I need to just chill a little, followed by an early night, hopefully refreshed ready for day 84! GSQ, loved your statistics thread btw, incredibly inspirational, you really are fab! Xx

It does get easier, but don't be lead into a false sense of security.

Yeah, I have my Tongue done, and the top of my ear, had my belly done years ago too. The tregus is the little bit at the front middle! I've 7 tatts in various places, and have gone through child birth, but to be fair I am a bit of a wuss! Hehe :-D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

So, I think I have decided to have a little piercing for getting rid of my first stone, thinking my tregus. Anyone else got it? And more importantly did it really hurt? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Good point Emmaline! Don't know really! Lol Might consider it tho! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Indeed! Lol I'm thinking nice big handbag, or shoes, or??? Well I'm sure I'll think of something! Ooo, tiffany ring? Lol x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ordered the DVD yesterday, should be here tomoz, got me weights ready! Bring on the jillian body! Lol :-D Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I haven't rewarded myself with anything :-(, definitely missing a trick there! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Aww, nice one. That's great, and it feels soo good. X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well it's another 3lbs off!! I'm consistent if nothing else!! To be honest as nice as it would be to lose 5 and 6lb per week, i'm good with 3. It's still more than I'd be loosing with any other diet I've tried!! x

Thats a great loss again. I have to admit I also found week 2 quite hard. I think we build up this thing in our heads that if we can just get through week 1 it'll be plain sailing, but in reality every week is hard, but somehow we get through to the end of it, even if we have a little blip! x

Me too! Freeeezing! Especially lower half of legs :-( don't think these rubbish temperatures outside are helping either x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yay! Well done! :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Good luck! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I'm defo gonna have to try some hot. Feel like I've been missing out now! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I keep thinking, I want to be well within the healthy BMI, but then worrying that I'll not be able to maintain it. So, I think like others gave said, I'll just have to see how I feel, and when I feel it, if that makes sense? X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Nice one! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hello! Welcome and good luck! Same as all of the above. It really does get easier after the initial first few days, I certainly wouldn't be near the end of week 5 if not for this forum. X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Wow! Amazing! There's nothing else to say, just wow! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Nice one! Well done you! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well done Hun, that's great! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That's brilliant! Well done to you. A true inspiration! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Lots of black pepper and paprika! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yay! Good luck! And Vanilla! Lol x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well it looks gorg! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Aww hunny, I feel your pain. Although this diet is fab, it's also one of the hardest things. But defo can be done. What about chopping your bar up into pieces and making it feel like you're nibbling on goodies? Good luck! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Wooo! Well done! Love this feeling of the smaller clothes. It makes the harder days worthwhile! :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Nice one! That's brill! Can't wait to get half way, hopefully won't be too long! :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Totally agree, it is nice to have something different. Just had a BL choc mint fudge for lunch! Scrummy! ;-@ haven't been able to get hold of the berry fudge ones anywhere near me, but never mind, I'll keep enjoying the others! :-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Me too! Sticky teeth! :-) not as much now tho (half way through week 5) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Best of luck with your journey! Never thought I'd be able to do this, but into my 5th week now! So grateful for this forum too, has helped me through many a difficult day. And Lurvedecake, love to see that mankini! Lol ;-) x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Brilliant loss! And massive motivation, nice one! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I use wii fit plus, and work through most if the different exercises as each one targets different bits of the bod, again I love the boxing one! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Week 4 WI, and another 3lbs off! That's a total of 16lbs in 4 weeks! Yay, only problem is I now only have 3 pairs of trousers that kinda fit, and I refuse to buy anymore till I'm slimmer! Think I need to buy some safety pins! Lol x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I love the peppermint tea, and have put it in the choccy shake! Makes it quite yummy! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

And me!! Wooo!! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hehe! Might try that meself! Makes alot of sense tho doesn't it? I mean if you're heavier then in theory it should depress your spine, joints etc. So equally if you're lighter less pressure! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That's a really interesting point Valentine, I do hope so because that would mean I could get to my target BMI quicker, as I would be taller! Lol x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh Hunny thats vile. Again I agree that it would probably be my reaction too, but please dont let this complete d**k ruin your hard work. Remember you'll be all slim and sexy before long, his mind will always be in the gutter, and tbh he prob looks like a warthog or something anyway!! Be...

Week 3 done yesterday, and another 3lbs off! That's 13 lb in 3 weeks! Only 1 more to go till I hit my first stone! Yay! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Deep thought, definitely right about the fizzing in sparkling water, talking from experience the other day! Lol and I did exactly what you said about mixing a bit then adding the rest after that! Haha, I was defo having a blond moment that day! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

I've tried all 3 of the exante flavours and tbh a teaspoon will make double the amount they say on the pot. They are fairly strong. But I guess it depends on your individual taste i dont have mine really weak or anything x Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

The sweetener they're using is sucralose! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi, can't see aspartame on the ingredients, just had a look. :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yeah, great loss! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

So my water flavours arrived today, just tried the orange one and it was scrummy. I'll try the other two later and let you know how they shape up. Think each pot will prob last a little while cos you only need a little bit. X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well, I finally managed to get hold of some BL bars, Mint Fudge, and Breakfast. Took me ages to find them, (they dont do them in my local tesco, or morrisons, or tesco extra!!!) finally got them in our little Asda. Sooo glad I found them, had a mint fudge one and OMG how scrummy???? Yummy :)

I've not tried green tea, tend to go for peppermint. Is it nice? Think I'll give it a try! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Peter! Welcome to our Exante world and good luck babe! X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks, I'll have a butchers at that! :-) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi Everyone Anyone know why I'm not able to get my profile pic on? Have tried several times, as far as I know I'm doing it all right, but just refuses to show!!!:confused:

Your so right Andrea, it is those little things that inspire me to carry on. I also got into some smaller jeans this week, so am proper happy!:)

Yep, weekends are really difficult for me too! :-( and I find it mote difficult when my hubby's at work aswell. Think it's because when he's here I'm all like, I'm gonna stick to this to prove I can do it, but when he's at work and it's just me and my boy, there's only me to prove it too, and...
