Hi all I am on week 3 of exante. Have not been perfect - had a few salads with chicken - but so far so good. Really enjoying the diet and feeling positive. Normally weigh in on a Wednesday but couldn't resist sneaking on the scales and have tipped down in to the next stone so over the moon :-)...

You will probably have a fab loss as it will shock your body after all the 'rubbish' food. Good luck and try to put it behind you as guilt is a wasted emotion x

Good luck. I'm sure you'll get there soon. I'm 19 stone 4 and hoping to get in to the 18's asap. Have been there but gained back in to the 19's :-(

I'd definitely be up for this. 16 weigh ins including the gain that will be coming my way on Thursday! I'd like to lose 16lbs at least by then.

Poshtotty- I also tend to lose weight really slowly apart from the odd week. It is so frustrating when you have lots to lose like I do but I try to look on the positive which is any off has got to be better for us :-)

Can I ask what is probably a silly question. Is this room for people in the 19's at the mo who are on their way to the 18's Sorry for being a ditzy mare! If I am in the right place then hello all. 1.5lbs off this week so got my stone award :)

Am back in the this room after having a blip after my holiday. Onwards and downwards now!

Slightly worried my all inclusive holiday will see me tip back in to the 20's, will find out on Wed weigh in- not looking forward to it!

I have landed in here and have finally left the 20 stones so am feeling very pleased with myself! Hello all!

Seriously frustrated this week as scales are showing me a lb up (at home) The thing I love about my home scales is they match the ones at weigh in which helps me keep track. Have been 100% on track since wi on wed night and they are showing a gain. I have been eating bigger meals (but all free...

P.S very randomly the option to remove the century club reappeared so is no longer on my profile!!

I am also struggling with the weather, on 5 syns today but had a bit of a disaster with a box of thorntons last night~!!

Sounds like a plan!

Random question- century club sticker has appeared under my name as I have over 100lbs to lose however I didn't select it and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've noticed there are other people with over 100lbs to lose but they don't have the same sticker

3lbs off this week so still on track to get out of the 19's by mid feb, fingers crossed!! Hope everyone has had a good week

HI Sparty, I, like you, am prone to bingeing but am holding off at the mo. Read a great book by Gillian Riley- saying goodbye to overeating and so much of it made sense to me. I'm not saying its a magic answer but a lot of it made sense to me and makes me think twice before I start grabbing any...

Hi all,I've just slipped in to this room. Hope to be passing through, lol! In an ideal world I'd like to be in the 18's by mid February (everything crossed!) Good luck all

Magic pancakes with a persimmon. Back to school tomorrow so trying to get my organised head back on

Well done, you are doing so well x

Am I the only person who is suddenly obsessed with food? Only started on Thurs and can't stop thinking about food. Also very hungry which I know I shouldnt be but I think its psychological rather than actual hungry.

35g of dorset nutty muesli mixed with a toffee mullerlight, yum yum

I love the freedom of slimming world.but sometimes it bites me in the backside and I use that same freedom on the wrong foods

Thank you xx

1 stone by end of Jan

I felt exactly the same on lighterlife, think a lot of it was water loss and I did feel really flabby. Guess the truth is there is no shortcut (not that I want to accept that!!)

Extra easy on slimming world. Just restarted for what must be the millionth time and thought this psot might be the kick up the backside I needed. Last diet tried was lighterlife but didn't like the side effects. Just need to get my hear around a permanent change rather than a diet then I should...

Will do and apologies as just realised my hilarious comment went after your bloating one, my timing has never been great!!

Good luck with it. I rejoined with my hubby last night. Had bacon, poached agg and balsamic tomatoes for brekkie with HEb toast, having jacket potato with tuna and salad (and maybe my A!) for lunch and am trying the cod with cherry tomatoes and sauteed potatoes for my dinner from the new mag. I...

The original post not the comments.I just love the title and the attitude!

Thank you, Ill give them a go for a change

Well done x

Wow, well done and so good that you did it together. I have just joined with my husband and I hope doing it together will help us stay on track

punk star- What is it like using ryvita in place of toast? Can you cut them (probably a stupid question!!)

And to you, I hope you get where you want to be this time, I really do as I know this frustration only too well. Im on day 1 of slimming world again! Keep me posted with how you get on xx

Hilarious, the funniest thing I've seen in ages!

How about cous cous with roasted veg? That is one of my favourites. I cook the veg in the oven with frylight and lots of seasoning then mix it with cous cous for work

I am trying the couch to 5k programme (free from the nhs site) Have downloaded the podcasts on my ipod and have started. The idea is to go from nothing to running a 5k in 9 weeks however already I know there are weeks I will have to repeat as I don't think Ill be able to progress that quickly...

HI newstart, I started a thread like this a few days ago and am in the same position as you. I have tried so many times now I have actually lost count. My last attempt was lighterlife last year and I did have some success but also hair loss, bad skin etc and I am ashamed to say I have regained...

Hi all, Was really pleased to find this room. I also have 9 stone to lose (exactly!) I wonder if it is possible in a year or if that is a little optimistic? Good luck all x

Thinking of trying the spanish chicken at the weekend, also looks yum

I had the bacon, poached egg and balsamic tomatoes this morning for brekkie, was very delicious

Thank you xx

Here I am in this room. The heaviest I have ever been in my life and feeling slightly overwhelmed by the task ahead although reading about your journeys is spurring me on x

I will give it a go this week!

Thank you

I think I'm going to try the hairy bikers bacon and egg with balsamic tomatoes although I'm going to use my B choice for toast

Sounds yum!

Will keep you all updated and thank you for your support and kind words, they really help x

Well I bit the bullet and rejoined slimming world last night weighing the most I have ever done in my life. Feeling slightly scared this morning but also a bit excited at seeing what my body can do!

Thank you all, everything said on here makes lots of sense. I think for me, I have to accept this will be a long journey and I just need to keep going. In the past as soon as weight loss slows down I end up giving up, I like everything to have been done yesterday hence why I keep giving up when...

Has anyone tried this with low fat fromage frais to see if it turns out ok?

I have tried slimming world so many times and each time follow the same pattern of being successful for a while then slipping off the bandwagon and piling the weight back on. In between I have tried Cambridge and lighterlife although have never maintained any weight loss long term.I have had...

Thanks Barbara, That makes a lot of sense. I think for me, the key is to stop acting on urges which are only in my mind. I know they are not physical as I am in ketosis and therefore not hungry so it is all in the mind but up till now I have found it near on impossible not to act on them.

This is really interesting. When I had a lapse on lighterlife my counsellor asked me if my eating had been mindful and I din't have a clue what she meant so will definitely check this out.

What is slim and save? Does it come with any support?

I want to lose weight as I have never been a healthy weight or size probably since birth. I want to experience buying the clothes that I like rather than the ones that fit. I want to be healthy for myself and my family. I want to go places and not worry about fitting in seats, rides etc. I just...

I'm so glad I found this thread as have just discovered this book. Had a quick flick through and also found myself nodding as I went through. Reading about food addiction was very enlightening and I'm really looking forward to reading the whole thing. I liked the way she talked about food...

Has anyone read Gillian Rileys Say Goodbye to overeating. I have seen it raved about on other sites and my copy arrived today. Looks interesting when I had a quick flick through. Already I was nodding with the amount of it that applied to me so I am hoping it will help alongside the LL counselling

Did you manage to find a solution?

Great tip about the bio oil, will definitely try that as my arms in particular are already looking scary!

Hi all, I was just wondering how you chose your goal weight. Having been overweight/obese since about the age of 2. I have never been a healthy weight or size so have just had to pick a figure that is at the upper end of a healthy bmi although I have no idea what I would look or feel like at...

I only ask because I wonder what I will look like at the tentative target I set myself. I have never been a healthy weight or size so have guessed at a target at the upper end of healthy bmi so have no clue what I would look like at this weight.

Did you find your solution?

HI. I have had hair loss from this plan although my counsellor insists when I start RTM and am back on conventional food it should rectify itself

Hi How are you getting on with the plan?

The only fizz I have is sparkling water which fills the same gap but doesn't contain anything that is bad for my body. Hated the taste to begin with but now actually really like it :-)

Hi, How are you getting on with the plan?

Really interesting thread as I have just had a gym induction this morning. Think I will be sticking to gentle exercise until food is reintroduced

I do have a lot of light headedness (not a word but hey ho!) Often have to stand still till it passes. Also am more forgetful/clumsy since I've been on it. I drink lots of water so know it is not this but am looking forward to RTM as it is not particularly pleasant

Can I ask if anyone has seen these slow the weight loss down? My counsellor said I should only have the packs as they are intended as the recipes change the amount of liquid added. Does anyone have any experience of this?

You were right. It was Linda Robson

How is it going for you? You can do it and the best part is on this diet it really wont take that long. Good luck x

Hi Good luck to you. I am on week 7 of step 2 and so far so good. I have about 9 stone to lose so know how your feeling. The plus side of this diet is that you constantly see results which is great for motivation!

Does anyone else have trouble updating their avatar? I put my pin in and my new details but it doesn't update which means I have to keep making new ones

Hi all, Just found this site and thought I'd say hello. Started step 2, two weeks ago and so far so good.
