Honk honk!

Its amazing isn't it when you see how well you have done. I think equating the weight to something you can see and feel the weight is a very good idea. Its a good way of motivating oneself. You have done fantastically on your journey - well done. I hope to follow suit! x

Honk

Good luck!! A few of us in the same boat, the main thing is that we dont give up and throw the towel in. I find this site immensily helpful. I dont really have confidence to post, I have created a blog which helps me deal with my feelings and thoughts around food. Lurk on the site every day...

I also like it. Especially if I am around people I find I am less concerned about bad breath if I am chewing gum. I am extreme as now brushin teeth 3 times a day, mouth wash, breath spray and gum. I have not found it makes me hungry but it makes me thirsty. I dont chew it everyday though...

Hiya Good luck with your tests. Wanted to suggest about trying to drink more water in the days before you start the diet (your tests permitting). I found that this helps because I didn't drink water at all before I started and now drink about 3l a day. Good luck x

Hi Rainbow brite These are just awesome!! May I please have a naughty looking tiger with something insirational like 'the journey to being tiny' or 'will be tiny one day' not sure, something like that. Thank you!!

Honk for this morning! Weekends are hard for me. Will honk again later for the day

Hiya I am on day 5 and thinking about Week 5 too!! Do we have to eat all three meals or its 2 shakes and evening meal? Also do you eat the whole week or one day? What happens if you do not eat that week and carried on with the shakes? Does weight loss slow down? Sorry I have asked so...

Hi skinnyone0, just wanted to say you have done really well so far in your journey and we are here to cheer you on. I don't know much about ME but what I know is with any health condition weight loss always adds a positive to how you feel inside and out. Shell x

Isn't the banana shake lush. Would happily just have that I agree, its my favorite too. I put a bit of coffee in it as well. Think a bit coffee happy at the moment!

Hiya hope your day got better. I agree with the others, 3 shakes will keep you burning fat, whereas 2 may put you in starvation and weight loss stalling. I feel the same as you, really crap and not hungry. I have forced myself my 3rd shake. I was adding coffee to it to make it tastier, I...

-2 this week. Feeling rotten totm Hope you had a good week folks X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Oh tell me about it. Side effects can be awful. But once the first week is over tings normally get easier. Except of course bad breath. I now travel with toothbrush, mouthwash and spray in my bag to try and combat the breath. The thing is though I cant smell myself. And other people are too...

Hi pollytunnel and hubby. Good luck on your Exante journey. It will so be worth it when you are on the other side and feel good within yourself. The first week is normally challenging, if you get through that the rest is 'do-able'. Lots of water is key, little and often I find helps. GOOD...

Week 8 onExante. Doesnt time go quick! So much has happened as well. Between beng urgled, moving house and renovation old house it appers I have failed miserably to lose two stone in two months- boo. Been of work and away from routine for two weeks. Now back to work feel like I have some...

Hello. Im sorry I'm late with my WI. It's a shameful +5. I know there are no excuses. Been off work all week painting and decorating plus moving house. Just went of plan and looks like lost all common sense by the looks of things. The main thing is we are trying and next week we shall try...

Great losses!! And this week it looks like we all lost something which is great. We are on the way to be big losers! Lol Have a great week. Not a good start for me as went to a party yesterday and all I can say is it wasn't good..... Failing to refocus today but am going to try Xx Sent...

Day 40 Feeling positive about the future of my diet. I am putting my dissapointment of last 5 weeks to bed and looking forward. Joined the 2 month challenge and feel it will keep me focused. To be continued....work is calling!

Well done every one!! Was trying to look for that post which says how much weight equates to try and put it in perspective. Im sure soon we will have lost a baby elephant! I think the challenge is ggreat as it will keep us focused. Especially me. Have a great week!! xx

Hello May I please join. My weight at last weigh in was 16st 13.5lbs. So next week do I post my current weight at the time or what I have lost? I wont be able to post or participate as much in the forum as life is rather hectic at the moment working 14 hour days. I will log on when I can and...

Been two weeks since I posted. Rocky 1st month on Exante. Awaiting my second months supply which arrives tommorow. I feel I wasted a month as I have only lost 13lbs so far. I know it could be a lot more. Considering joining the 2 month challenge which starts Sat to keep me focused. The only...

Havent been on the forums much as so much happenning in the last few weeks. fell off the wagon as they say and struggling to get back on. For the last two weeks been having WS, an evening meal a day with protein and salad or veggies. Started taking Xenical with evening meal and had a few near...

Hello There are contraceptive methods that may help you with period pain. The most common one used is the mirena coil. This is a hormonal coil that is fitted into the uterus (womb). It can be fitted for up to five years. Woman who are going through the change may use this to lessen the symptoms...

Day 8 Really feel rubbish today. Everything seems such a mess. Was burgled 2 nights ago whilst sleeping and its really unnerving. Had a crap day at work. Think the diet is making me extra sensitive to everything. Laptop was stolen, missing the support from the forum. I find if hard to...

Hello peeps Im not doing well emotionally. Was broken into the night before last and my laptop is gone!!! Didnt even realise until I got back from work last night that the items were missing from the house. Its really annoying and upsetting that someone has been in the house while I have been...

Good to hear from you dextersmum. Please dont feel bad about a bleep. We all have them. Also just think what you would have ate if you were eating normal food (I know I would eat a whole lot more). Its good that you are conciuos of what you are eating. Also maybe try a low carb meal...

Morning peeps. Finally week one weigh in. Lost 11lbs. Im reallypleased but at the sametime a little dissapointed because I had a bad weekend and part of me thinks it would have been more had I not 'cheated'. I know Im being silly though coz its a great loss. Going to aqua aerobics...

Thanks Geordie, yes LL very lumpy with shaker. Elm thank you. You are doing very well and Friday will be here soon. Did you find it strange not officially weighing in on a Monday as is traditional? I am but I'm sure we will get used to our weigh in days X Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks geordiebear. I hope the taste buds improve coz I took one sip of the chicken and I couldn't stomach it. Had to throw down the drain and made strawberry instead. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks fitandforty. 7 pounds so far, thats a great loss. How are you gettingon CD? x

Thanks Garfield. Might try the shaker. I was blending then pouring into the shaker to have shake in the car without spilling everywhere. When I used shaker with LL it left lumps so havent tried it this time round. Will try it with my eve meal.

Feeling good today and proud of myself. 100% and the hunger pangs have gone. So have the headaches and irritability. I think I am in the zone. Tommorw cant come quick enough as I was to weigh myself! I have decided to weigh weekly and also every 10 days. So I have 2 charts on the fridge...

Hello buddies Good day for me today so far. Stressful at work and so busy only had my bar so far. Might go and have a shake in a bit. Not hungry though but I suppose its better to eat before you get the hunger pangs. Water was ok this morning - had about 2l now feel like I cant drink...

Great loses all round -well done. Goodluck tommorow no1mum. I cant wait for Wed for my WI. Its been the longest week ever!

Thanks guys. The head wants TS but the heart wants WS. I want to lose the weight fast so will try and persevere with TS. 100% today which I am really proud of. Will take each day as it comes I think. Aiming to be 100% but if I slip will have a piece of protein and veg. It's really worked...

Hello happinessisnaughtyness and dexters mum. Welcome on board!!! This is definitley the way foward for us and great that we can support each other. Taking the first step and starting is the hardest and I hope in a few weeks we will be breezing through the days. Its not easy but I'm finding...

Thank you Starlight and Cybill for explaining to me. Will try the Asda bars in the future. You have both done really well and inspire me to carry on. Will add some flavourings to the soups, had two milkshakes and a bar today. Couldnt stomach the veggie soup. Dont want to waste them so will...

I notice on a few threads there is talk of Asda and Tesco bars. What are these? Can you have them instead of exante ones? I also cant stomach the soups. Really loathe all of them. Love the milkshakes. I drink all of them hot. I also drink my water warm. Im weird like that but if I have...

Im on day 4 and have had some chicken yesterday. Felt really guilty afterwards but when I compare with all the junk I used to eat on a normal diet - whats a piece of chicken. Maybe aim to eat one day a week and look forward to that day. When I was on LL I used to have a nice stir fry after my...

My target date is when I renew my tax disc 30 Nov 2011! Moved this from my blog, will have a diary instead. Started Exante last Wednesday and its been challenging to say the least. Firstly everyone at work know I am on the diet. That wasn't my plan, wanted people to comment how great I looked...
