Hi Miss Mac, I did cd 5 years ago and lost a lot of hair, to the point where I had a bald patch at the back. It took a little while to settle down once I came off cd but it did stop and sort itself out. Don't be too disheartened, I remember how I felt at the time. My cousin did LL and the same...

Thanks dustqueen, I'll need it x

Well very disappointing week!!! My own fault really. Was good and 100% til Friday when I went on an away day with work. Ate burger (with bun) and salad, then went to neighbours nail party on the evening and had nibbles of crisps and drank a bottle if rose wine!!! So the result is I've STS. So...

Thanks so much dustqueen, will go to Holland and Barratt tomorrow. Managed to get by on cd by adding the fibre but was sooo much better on exante til now !!! yes we are the same, separated at birth - lol !! Where are you now with weight loss? I haven't shifted since my weigh in on Saturday, so...

What is going on !! When I was on CD I had awful trouble going to the loo!!!!! I've been fine on exante, no probs at all. Now into week 5 and haven't been to the loo for 6 days !!!!! Help x

Hi, you need to do what is best for you - good luck in whatever you do, needs to fit in with your life at the time!! I'm just desperate to go in holiday a bit smaller than I am now, as I know it would have really depressed me being away so big !! I don't know if i would have stuck to it...

Day 16 Well just weighed myself after my weekend away, lots if wine but not too mad on the food. Am 2 lbs heavier than I was on Saturday Morning - so not too bad I suppose !! So this Saturday weigh in I'll probably stay the same :( we'll see. That's it now, no more social events until my...

Day 13 !!! Still sticking to it but one small blip involving a chicken Kiev last night!!!! Came home starving after work then had taken my son to his piano lesson. By this point I was ready to eat my arm having had my bar at 1pm, it was now 8pm. Walked into the kitchen and spotted the Kiev...

Hi camtakenomore, things are going great thanks, down 9lbs in 8 days so feeling chuffed with myself, was planning on joining in the fathers day meal today and just having chicken and veg, but that loss has really spurred me on and I don't think I'll bother!! How's your last couple if days been...

Hi AmZie, how's it going, are you managing 100%? I've had a real boost today, had lost 7lbs after one full week, have just weighed myself and have dropped another 2 lbs since yesterday. Have gone from 14 5 to 13 10 in 8 days, it's really spurring me on to believe I can be my first goal of 11 12...

Day 8 Well weighed today and have lost 7lbs. Am very pleased but also a little disappointed as I had lost the first 5 in 2 days. I lost 8 in my first week of cd 5 years ago. Am thinking that exante might be a bit slower than cd as it's slightly more cals and carb content, but I can live with...

Day 4 OMG - what's this all about !!!! When I was on CD I struggled going to the loo - sorry everyone - and used to buy the fibre. Was concerned again when I started exante that I would be the same. Today I have felt great but have had the runs major time !!!! I've never been off the loo :cry:I...

Morning everyone - quick update before I go to work. Had a sneaky peak at the scales and have lost 5 pounds in 2 days !!!!!!! that's it fir weighing until Saturday xx have a good day x

Hi Amzie, ignore those hunger pangs, get yourself some coke zero or dr p zero for those moments. I'm also day 2 and starving and my hubbie is cooking chicken dinner and it smells lovely - but I need 2 stone off in 7 weeks, so there's no other way, you need it off for your wedding and this is how...

Hope you get a good number tomorrow Jane x

Hi camtakenomore, I'm usually bad with the water but everytime I walked into the kitchen yesterday, I downed a glass!! might try some sweeteners in the chocolate shake, I liked the banana and strawberry so am hoping I like the vanilla (which was my fave on cd). have a good day being good, Caroline x

Day 2 Thanks for your support miss mac. Just had chocolate shake - not keen on it! Didn't like chocolate shake in cd either, but didn't mind the chocolate tetra. Feeling ok after 2 bad headaches yesterday, had wind big time yesterday !!!!! Have managed to resist jumping on the scales which...

Hi Jane, you are doing really well. I am on day 1 (you replied on my diary) and have gone to bed before I eat my arm. Have kept busy all day, so just suffered a bit tonight and had a coke zero. I was surprised that they were allowed as I know how strict cd was when I did it years ago. I wish I...

Hi amzie, 16 9 to 14 7 is 30lbs not 44, so you will easily do that in 9 weeks !! If you want 44, you could do that as well I'm sure. Hope you enjoy your soup later, I didn't get any soups as I hated them on cd, but maybe they are better on exante!! I've had a splitting headache twice today and...

Just had strawberry shake and is yummy too!! I can officially say tastes so much better than cd!! x

Day 1 Hi everyone, well I've started exante today, just had a banana shake and enjoyed it!! I did CD 5 years ago an lost 3 stone in 12 weeks going from 12 7 to 9 7 and felt fantastic. I kept it off fir 2 years with being sensible but then lots of things happened and I got into bad habits again...

Thanks lil - I hope so, if it matches losses on CD I will do it. I was so strict with myself last time. Will see how I get on !!
