Fitness Blender, are, in my opinion, the best free workouts on the internet. Fitness Blender - all of their workouts are free and on YouTube, from cardio to strength training, pilates to kickboxing to kettlebells, from short, quick videos to massive 1000 calorie workouts. Plus they're really...

You look a lot like Keeley Hawes with brown hair imo. And no, that is not a bad thing at all...I'd ruddy give an arm and maybe a leg too to look like Keeley Hawes!

Well, I didn't take a before photo so I'll probably never be able to a do side-by-side. But I'm halfway to healthy! After that I'd probably like to lose a further stone, but I weighed in today at 14st 10lbs down from 18st 3lbs last June. I'm 5"10 so I believe around 12st7lbs is the threshold...

They're expensive because there's little competition - they can make as much money as they like on them.

Just thought I'd let people know (if you didn't already) that Slim Fast on amazon are doing some quite discounted stuff, e.g. snack bars at 24p each (£5.76 for 24 compared to £14 RRP). I need some diet snack food but am not really following slim fast. I think I've given up with replacement...

I'm thinking about using one I've found locally (not seen it in the flesh yet, but have visited the park a couple of times now and it's about 5 minutes brisk walk!) but I don't know what to wear! I'm limited for 'gym' clothes, as I don't have very much money. I have an old pair of trainers and...

I'm doing the same as you - no particular plan, just trying to avoid carbs!! I probably allow myself between 40-75g of carbs per day, which may not be low carb to some people but *shrug* Ketosis doesn't matter so much to me either, just trying to avoid high carbs (so I guess more low-gi?) :)

Anyone know of some good, cheap, plentiful snacks that can either be made at home and stored or pre-packaged? I keep on snacking on decidedly non low-carb food, and I've been proud of my weight loss (I still weigh two stone less than my starting weight, although I think it's beginning to creep...

I'm a similar height/current weight to you're starting weight! You look really good. How much exercise do you do? I'm trying to do thirty minutes a day but it's hard (I struggle with depression and going out). Well done!

Yes! Very doable for me at my current rate of weight loss :) I would like me to a size 16 by Christmas as I really need some new clothes but don't want to buy any just yet (I don't have very much money). Currently: 16st0.25lbs

Day 2 11 minutes of HIIT training. I can't do much exercise, I'm not sure why! It was supposed to be roughly 60 minutes, although I did a few more exercises from the HIIT later on in the day, so 20 minutes overall. Day 3 I'm too knackered (had an emotional, but good day) to do any exercise...

Day 1 I haven't completed the first proper workout yet - I think I burnt myself out at 7 minutes because I was trying to incorporate 6kg (total) of weights which I wasn't prepared for. It's fun though, lots of new exercises to get accustomed to. I'm looking forward to the second run through...

I dunno if I'll ever end up going kickboxing - I'm too shy/a bit anxious to go on my own and my boyfriend doesn't really like kickboxing, much prefers Jiu Jitsu. I don't think he really likes MMA to be honest.

I'm going to start a Ju Jitsu class soon (proper Japanese).

Well, I've bought it anyway, a bit cheeky that the website they sell it through doesn't indicate the shown price isn't VAT included. I'm starting tomorrow (minus the Fitness Test, mainly because there's two things on it I can't really do, so it seems a bit redundant - it's only included to...

Hurray for stupid boyfriends! :P

Are a lot of people that go very pro-military? I don't want to start an argument about the pros and cons of the forces, I understand the instructors are military trained, but that doesn't bother me - as long as pro-military rhetoric isn't pushed into my face. Otherwise, the idea of a boot camp...

I've just broken my Salter 9139 Body Analyser scales - my boyfriend calibrated them, and they worked perfectly. Until I soaked it under an ocean of water too many times. Anyway, I can't find them online anymore - they cost about £30, when they cost about £20 in Tesco. I don't really want to pay...

Meat shouldn't kick you out of ketosis - it is however fatty and will add calories. Still, maybe extra meat shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, theoretically it should help to protect your muscles more.

Has anyone purchased these? Seems good, but there isn't really a preview or in depth review anywhere on the web. I guess because it's a very cool site, run by a couple (with, as far as I understand, little to no input from anyone else) and the programs are very cheap (£4.50 per program, you keep...

I don't get why people hate the strawberry shake so much? I really like it - of course, you guys might be using just cold water - I make mine up so it's like slushy ice cream, or a 'McDonald's' milkshake.

Tesco now do a Zero Cola Cherry and Dr. Fizz Zero, and my local Tesco's is doing a special offer at the moment (8 litres for £2.00).

Some have no citric acid in them specifically, and some added vitamin c which doesn't contain citric acid - but there's some fruit juice in both? I'm not sure of the concentration but I imagine it's fairly high. Just double checking because I miss my squash and the water flavourings don't really...

Murray, obviously. I'd suggest a female British player, but there doesn't seem to be any left...

As someone who has lost the best part of a stone on a VLCD, not been particularly active, and had more than my fair share of cheats over the time period - it actually stays off quite easily. At least in the short term. Anyone who has put back on 5/6/7+ stone has just returned to their former...

I think this is probably a no, but...is raspberry and apple tea OK? It just feels like one of those that 'Ooh, maybe, fingers crossed' but I've no idea how to work out whether it would throw me, and we have a few bags in the cupboard.

Exante now sell blenders on their website! Morphy Richards IIRC...

Had a tough time with this to be honest - and think it's the lack of chewing something. This has lead me to think perhaps, as much as I don't think it's massively superior taste-wise, S&S might be better for now - particularly with their range of bars. I think I could end up stuck with more...

Only about 6/7 pounds until I'm in the 16s!

Scroll right down to the bottom of the page, there is a 'Contact Us' bit. Follow that.

RE: the weights aspect to the shred. Can I use a kettlebell rather than dumbbells?

"Hi Tammy, yes we're actively looking to get a new bar supplier - we're just wanting to make sure that they are up to scratch as some bars out there can be a bit disappointing! We will keep you updated." (quote from an official Exante response on their website) I'm personally someone who's...

I think I'm definitely constipated and the only meal I particularly have been enjoying have been the bars. The rest - particularly the soups - are not disgusting (well, actually, I thought the porridge oats were quite gross but that might be the way I prepared them), they taste really nicebut...

no, not yet, been really ill the past few days... Speaking of which...I don't know if I'll be able to follow the TS plan. I felt incredibly sick the first few days, and felt better but still quite sick after incorporating some kind of meal (and because we've got no food in the house really...

Ah, can someone give me their ice tea recipe? Sounds nice. And am trying to convince my boyfriend to buy me a blue rocket style ice lolly mould, because it would be awesome...plus, I've realised that this has quite a healthy longevity (i.e. we'll never need to buy ice lollies ever again in the...

Hope it goes well! I'm on Day 3 and I'm having a bit of a crap day. not so bad I'm going to give in mind, but very tired and craving toast and chicken! But we'll all pull through that :) :)

Haha! I've (maybe embarrassingly?) wished I had a fattier back (although not more overweight, obviously!). It's a bit fatty, but comparably quite slim to my breasts and my stomach and so I just look really odd! Plus I'm sure having a lot more weight on my front has massively affected my gait :O...

With what they're bringing out and what they currently have, this is adding plenty of choice onto what people have - making it 17 different products on the menu, which is actually quite large. Plus, by the way they've described it on Facebook makes it sound like they are quite particular about...

My thighs are so thunderous, you might as well call them Thor and Freyja. Anyway, I really want to get rid of my thigh bulges, which are ridiculous - they appear slimmer until about halfway up and then there's just this massive bulge of cellulite on both the inner and outer thigh. I want my...

Have a chocolate orange bar? I was surprised to find they actually had real pieces of chocolate in them :D Maybe eat a bit of chicken, or maybe just be easy on yourself if you really need it. Periods can be horrible at times, can't they?

I cannot imagine what it's like to love someone who does that to you...sad thing is, this won't be treated as domestic abuse, and I believe it should be.

Think when I've hit the two week mark, I'm going to break out my Tae Bo DVDs and start doing them. I want to start going to Jujitsu or Kickboxing classes when I'm slimmer too, as well as start doing Parkour training and a bit of adventuring (Urban Exploring) but I don't think I'll have the...

Banana shake was really nice, just like regular milkshake tbh. I think I've got an ear infection which is really bad news as I've not yet managed to get registered with a doctor's surgery yet and don't know where (if any exist) the minor A&E is around here. D: I hope it goes down on it's own...

:) Thanks Lynne. Day 1 has gone quite well. I enjoyed all the products, maybe after Day 23 it won't hit the same spot. I agree with getting all my nutrients and minerals, I'm sure it'll make me feel better. I actually really enjoyed the tomato and basil soup, and it does seem the T&B soup has...

Unless you're advised to eat four packs, in which it is more expensive. Anyway, they're also doing a mousse mix and a 'Red Bean Chili'.

Honk :)

Is it okay to advise people that Exante themselves post regular extra offers on their Facebook page?

Just received it, and am enjoying a lovely strawberry shake at this very moment, and it's very tasty! :)

I actually found the post where someone explains the Lipotrim refeed week in detail (it's in the Exante forum) but cannot remember where it was. Think it was one of the stickies on the main board though!

Animal shelters often need dog walkers to volunteer, so you could always try that route too.

So I decided to start a thread because although I was due to start today, Interlink are not delivering until tomorrow. :( Still though, me and my boyfriend went to the cinema yesterday at Gateshead's Metrocentre where there is a large, drive-thru Krispy Kreme...and yes we got a strawberry and...

I like my tea milky - have got some almond milk which has 0.1% carbs per 100ml (although I've read it can still keep people from ketosis despite being virtually carbless?!). Hope that'll be alright...

I'm with you, although how long it will be Exante for I couldn't tell you :O

I bought some cans of cheery cherry coke *ero, and they tried to substitute it with full fat cherry coke! I'm very disappointed :(

Just ordered a variety pack, the drink mixes and a sachet of porridge oats. I'm excited. So many of you seem to be doing so well. I'll start a diary soon :) x

Which one would you recommend? Did S&S for a few days around 8 months ago, liked the meals but not a fan of the shakes. That said, the problem with shakes was a) my shaker picked up smells quite a lot and b) didn't really make it lumpless. I love porridge and carbonara and liked the bars whilst...

I'm planning on having up to 100ml of skimmed milk a day as that's allowed on Slim and Save...if I think it's having an effect I'll stop it, but hopefully it won't.

I think they're made out of an Asian vegetable fibre...dunno, that might be ********, lol. It's something found in Asia though, apparently it's been eaten for centuries.

I think it's reasonable to expect my boyfriend to cook his own dinner, although probably will insist on me still making him lunch :) (well, he doesn't insist, I like making them but still!)

They are bringing out some chili soon! And a mousse mix, how great is that?!

Also, the Raspberry and Apple flavour is also free of citric acid, and comes in pre-made packs too. The other flavours do contain citric acid, sadly.

It doesn't appear to have any citric acid in it :)

I don't like some water. In some parts of the country, particularly where there is hard water, it can taste funny. I honestly believe I'd like water more if I'd not grown up drinking fluoride water in London, but tap water sourced from the lake district like the majority of Lancashire (just for...

You could get ASDA to deliver to you, £2.50 for an 8 hour delivery slot and they're doing 2 x 8 330ml of Cherry Coke *ero (key not working, sorry!) for £7. You could pick up some other stuff your partner or kids might want to make up for the delivery as well.

Haha :) http://www.minimins.com/lighter-life-forum/26858-massive-weight-loss-loose-skin.html#2 This is a pretty good post about it, seems some are more pessimistic than others about it. The overall message seems to be pot luck, regardless of age, or any other factor really.

Doesn't age have a lot to do with it as well? I'm hoping because I'm only 20 (well, nearly 21) it won't be as bad for me...

I posted this question less specifically in the 'Success' forum. Anyone lost 6-8st, and what was their skin like? :P

It's a shame that they haven't got a truly mixed bumper pack, it'd be nice to get the porridge and carbonara with it too, particularly seeing as they both seem to be pretty much universally liked.

I'd be interested if someone could link me up with details of the Lipotrim refeed week :)

Thanks :) Might try the multi-pack and if pants...well, I won't make that mistake again!

Are Exante's drink mixes any good? Or would you recommend a drink from the sticky for extra-water?

I believe it only affects ketosis if you eat more than one bar a day.

I'm up for this :) I need to start doing some exercise anyway, and squats are ones that I know I can do and work! Might throw in a 4kg kettlebell as well. :)

Yes. I blame the VLCD and my TOTM (first period since I aborted my first pregnancy, which I found very traumatic) for a few incidents which led to me withdrawing from uni and losing a few friends... I don't think the VLCD is to blame, but I wasn't eating much (even quite getting through all the...

http://www.minimins.com/exante/261104-food-break-week.html

The mousse mix sounds devine! :D

So, the Exante drink mixes aren't really recommended?

Well, I'm thinking of it like this: If you weighed yourself on uneven floors elsewhere in your house and got 12st 10lbs, then weighed in the kitchen it won't be true. But on the bright side, because it's on even floors it should be a true reading of your weight. So you're still 10lbs lighter...

I hope that this topic is acceptable in this forum? Anyway, typically how many people find they have quite loose skin after a VLCD, particularly if you've lost 5+ stone? Thanks.

Really? Then make that two people who think you're gorgeous :)

I wish I had an iPhone! :( There's a really cool zombie running game, I'm not sure what it's called but that might entertain you/help with exercise (particularly if you already jog/run). :)

Isn't this a bad idea if all packs need to be eaten within so many minutes of being prepared?

If I like normal carbonara, would I like this one? Mmm, creamy... I was actually thinking the other day, if eating (at least my boyfriend's version of carbonara!) everyday was a weight loss diet, I would sooo be in...

Am I the only one seeing a picture of nail varnish and a meal? Lol!

I'm getting so upset about money - i.e. I have none, am in £500 from my uni overdraft that I'll start being charged for in June (although I think my Dad might be able to help me out with that)...I'm unemployable, have no work experience, and just feel like crap. I didn't get my degree in the...

It's a shame that a lot of pictures on this thread are no longer being hosted...:(

I've gone from happy to sad about the interview. It has a lot to do with my weight and I'm not sure how confident I feel to be able to do the job. People asking me questions is fine, but approaching strangers and asking them for money...I don't know. I don't think I can do it. I feel really...

Exciting news! I have an interview with a fundraising organisation on Monday, to do street fundraising (which will be fairly nice and active, so should help with the losing weight) and I have been 'earmarked' for a really exciting apprenticeship! So happy happy. Exercise and dieting not going...

he key here is just to find an 'environment' that is sustainable and won't kill you? Plus the fact that a lot of diets, whilst they may work in the short time, are not okay for the body in the long term (no one can stay on Lipotrim or w/e for the rest of their life, for example).

Kettlebells, kettlebells, ooh kettlekettlekettlekettlebells! Dum de dum dum dum... ;)

Plus, it turned out that she was suffering from type 2 diabetes, which was a major factor in her own weight loss.

A kg is approx. twice the value of a lb. :)

Just a quick update - quite a bit of Christmas scoffing, but not as bad as I could be. Most of the time felt very sick eating too much, particularly sugar, so I think it's my bodies way of telling me it really does like it when I eat all that salad, rather than all that (mince) pie! Ordered...

Wah! I wish the blister would stop hurting. The one on my right foot is absolutely fine (it didn't pop whilst I was wearing my shoes), but the other one (which did) is really horrible. If it doesn't get better by Sunday or Monday I'm not sure what I should do. I can't really go to A&E. I could...

Blah! I think the only draw back of Minimins (and other weight loss aids, like SparkPeople or WeightWatchers online) is that I just end up spending hours online, looking at ways to lose weight, but never doing anything! One of my main drives is to be more active, to be able to run a mile for...

Thank you my love :) I went for a walk today...no one was around for all of 30 seconds so tried to run, given that I haven't in a while. Bad move. Now have the worst blisters ever, Savlon'd beyond belief! Can't wait until I have money to get proper fitted trainers and take some weight off my...

Yay! My trainers came today - and I'm very pleased with the fit and cost! They aren't a big brand, and they'll probably fall about - but they'll do the job for walking/gentle jogging whilst I get my fitness up. Am going to go on my first proper walk in a while tomorrow. So excited!

I though Tesco Ultra Lite was a LCD, like Slim Fast?

I'd say any healthy eating based on routine exercise. It's less about what you put in, and more about what you put out from experience (I eat little, but have kept my weight due to being sedentary - and probably because what I do eat isn't that good, although improving and am losing some weight...

Hey guys :) Okay, so for the life of me I've got no proper idea of how to do sit ups, press ups etc. - I vaguely understand what you have to do, but whenever I do it, I feel like it's too easy and because it's too easy I'm doing it wrong (I am convinced I really am). I can't really afford any...

Hello all :) I'm 17 stone - do you think walking/jogging will be alright for me, as an otherwise healthy 20 year old? I'm actually thinking of doing a variation of this: Your daily exercise plan - Telegraph Hope you're all doing okay :)

There was a horrible doctor on BBC Breakfast News - don't know if she's still doing it, or if they've got the equally as bad Rosemary back - who basically propagated this, and telling young (particularly women) who had taken up smoking that their teeth were yellow, they had bad breath, their...

Brilliant weight loss, and may I just say, what lovely hair you have irrespective of weight!

I am back! So, after having a horrendous time of it recently - a big falling out with friends from university - I am feeling better. So much so, because yesterday I randomly weighed myself, and found I had reached the healthier end of 17st (as in, 17st exactly ;)) I'm not quite sure the last...

Me too! Good luck :)

Thanks! This is great to know. I probably should avoid sweeteners in tea, as I'd like to give up sugar in tea entirely (the amount I drink, it'd be a good thing too...) I don't think brands are important really, and I hate the powdered sweeteners any way, I always find they float to the top...

Coke Zero and Dr Pepper, rooibos tea, and water - all okay to drink?! Also, can I use the skimmed milk allowance in tea? I'm unsure if the warning not to use it more than once refers to drinking more than 150ml or the act of drinking skimmed milk in any quantity multiple times a day. And would...

My only issue is the charges for delivery. £25 for saturday delivery? That's pretty poor. Otherwise looking forward to my order tomorrow :)

I've not been posting for a while, due to adjusting back to university life. However, today I ordered two weeks of Slim and Save to see how it will go. I don't have much money at all at the moment, so a bit worried if I fail. But I guess that's just even more motivation to do well! If I'm not...

Amazing pictures! I'd also like to congratulate you on your fabulous guns ;)

Really awesome and lovely photos in this thread! Hope you're happy and maintaining. You looked happy in the first picture, but even happier later on! Great work. x

Amazingly inspirational post. Well done!

Had a bit of a wobbly day, am feeling very down and have started my period which has been unusually uncomfortable due to the three or so I've missed. Tried to have a trip out with my parents to the National Trust, which has ended in me wishing to have my membership cancelled - so you can tell...

Sorry Amy :( I was being overly sensitive. I really sympathise with exercise, although I am hoping I'll lose my breasts as I lose weight (which, sadly, as I'm a lot like my sister I imagine I won't :() I think I'll just use this month to see how it goes, and if I feel that the way I've been...

Cheers guys, I thought so! Just needed to relieve that little worry. :)

Hello, I know there's an abundance of videos on the internet and DVD, for free as well as paid for...but I just feel stupid when I do them? I'm not sure if this is just my size and fitness - that moves will be sloppy and not work etc. Is better timing and ability in even basic moves something...

Yay! Well done :) for the weight loss AND the graduations! What are you (now) a graduate in?

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I'm sure it wasn't meant like that, but 'bless you' followed by that post is extremely patronising; I'm not stupid, I don't need to be spoken down to. You've also not really considered the fact that I have tried to 'calorie count' but abstinence is...

I wish there were more men's stories, and I'm a woman!

Argh, can't sleep! Really want to as well. Not very hungry, just bored and a bit tearful. I wish there was stuff to watch! But there seems like there's nothing on, not anything that's my cup of tea. And I've watched every thing else, a lot. It doesn't help that my concentration is virtually...

Had a big meal, not sure how many calories it was. Did some exercise...not much, but it was more ad hoc, and then got hot and sweaty and realised I had no water! Will do more tomorrow. On the plus side...it might not have been long but it was consistent and without breaks. Plus, it did leave my...

Feeling quite unwell this morning. Might have a cup of tea and some water and see if it clears up. :) Feel a bit better now. Will be doing some exercise in a bit. Am about to have a breakfast shake, and a little bit of veg. Yazoo!

That's awesome! I was thinking of doing that too - only I would need to walk about 3 miles first, and then walk to the nearest bus stop to get to uni...so it might be a little less feasible. Plus it's money to go swimming too :(

Hehe, thanks my dear :) Had my last shake just now, and think I might go to bed fairly soon, might watch a film or read a book. :) Good first day all in all, minus lack of exercise...oh well, better late than never! :D

May not do any exercise tonight, but do have one shake left. If I do no home exercise this evening, I'll definitely go for that walk tomorrow. It's amazing how my positive energy over the past few days has amassed, and created a renewed sense of will power and drive in me, not just to lose...

Jump Rope Circuit Workout - Challenge Your Body with this cardio/strength Jumpe Rope Circuit - I'm going to try this out at some point, I like the incorporation of the good ol' faithful jump rope. Will go on a bit of a walk tomorrow I've decided, need to find out my prescription from my optician...

Thanks for the advice! Just got a Maximuscle one - works well! Plus it's a good way of always being able to make up a shake :)

Well done! That's amazing. You should feel very proud of yourself indeed...got any tips to share? ;)

I bought some scales today. EKS mechanical scales, if anyone's familiar...dunno if they're a bit funny or what, but I'm guessing they're correct. It's not a completely off, just makes me sad that I've apparently put about a stone on since I was last weighed - and considering the increase in my...

RawrGirl! I'd like some advice :) I'm wanting to start some cardio/strength training at home...does this sound like a good starting plan? :) Circuit Workout - Strength and Cardio Calorie-Burning Circuit Workout

I think, personally, that's what I need! I need proof that weight loss is achievable and affordable. I've heard a lot about strength training helping to maintain weight loss, and to avoid anything more than power walking in terms of exercise - it keeps the otherwise wasted muscles, which are...

It's good to know shakes can be made up (and perhaps even better than cold...) as warm. I've emigrated from London to Lancaster and blimey, is it cold during the winter months! Was worrying that the 'format' of a VLCD being mainly cold food wouldn't help me feel capable of being warm and...

Time to start now...will be going down to Boots/Savacentre to get myself some Slim Fast. Does any one remember that annoying Slim Fast advert from a couple of years ago? Hehe. Slipped last night, but that should change once I stop sleeping late at night. :)

Awesome! This makes me want to try this even more, as strength training is pretty low-cost compared to a lot of cardio stuff (e.g. larger equipment, paying to swim etc.).

If what you mean by warehouse rave is what I think you mean...I'd definitely advise a refeed.

Sounds about right to me! I have been wondering about this, as it's something I'd like to do - do you have any particular strength training programme you'd recommend?

Well done! Good luck on your journey :) Remember that it's not forever, and just focus on each day - you're becoming a healthier, stronger person and take the extra time you know have to work on yourself (exercise, reading, hobby) :) Good luck.

That sounds...strangely nice and quite obvious too! Mm. Will have to try. :)

I might start Slim Fast again. I tried it some time ago, when I was a bit younger. I didn't even know shakers existed, so I'll probably purchase one of them to help. It'll help me, I think, get into the swing of things when I go on a VLCD in October.

Hello, I might have started a diary before. I'm not sure. I go in and out of looking for weight loss advice, usually because I end up getting depressed and feeling bad about myself and falling back into the patterns of not eating properly. Plus, I've been at university the past two years, and...

Well done!

That sounds like great motivation! Will remember to try it. :)

Awesome, a great transformation in such little time! :D

I find it interesting that some people find it easier to stick to it by putting it off for longer if that makes sense...my one worry is not being able to pace it! Do you all have shakers to make yours with?

Well done! You've done really, really well!

Massively inspirational thread! Will be trying Lipotrim soon. Thanks for giving me even more inspiration to lose weight...

You look amazing! All these stories I keep reading, I'm definitely going to enquire about Lipotrim when I have the means to do so...

You look amazing! How long has this taken you, by the way? :)

Sounds like a good idea! :)

I don't have any restrictions really - I have no medical conditions, but I do suffer with depression, and was planning on returning to my anti depressants soon, I had an abortion about 2 months ago and I'm on the contraceptive pill. I know Exante say you cannot do TFR when on any prescribed...

It's a bit vague, and would like to know what things they are before I trot off down to the chemist to try it out... Help would be massively appreciated :)

Amazing, this is a great diary to read :) x

Awesome! This has given me a lot more inspiration really - you were a similar starting size (height and weight) to what I am now, and age (I think) and looked quite similar to how I do now, so hopefully I'll look as good in the future as you do! :P I guess I've always had trouble thinking I'd...

I may very well join you on this soon Diva. :) Well done

Hello! Would you guys recommend any other of her videos? Like 6 weeks 6 pack? I think I had the ten minute workout and remember it being the only exercise DVD I've really enjoyed. Anyway, hope to join in with you guys soon :) This will actually be my first return to proper exercise in a few...

Looking forward to updates! Am thinking about Exante, perhaps the working solution, or if a low-GI, simple healthy diet doesn't seem to be working... Good luck :D

That sounds really nice! (based on a non-Exante experience adding blackcurrant to stuff does tend to be good! :P) How are the vanilla and banana shakes?

Haha, well, that's a novel (and very positive) way of looking at the word 'chubby' ;) Now I think about it, I'd give anything to be chubby rather than fat...oh well. I've got to wait a while, but hopefully I'll lose enough weight (and save enough money!) for my trip next summer!

Have they been 50% off for a long time, or is this just a summer incentive? :)

I think there are two other things that need pointing out as reasons why being on a VLCD like Exante can cause blackouts and potential fatality: 1) Whenever someone doesn't eat, they are likely to get drunk quicker and possibly pass out. That's because food in the stomach helps to sponge up...

No, an average sized woman has a BMR of 2000 calories. But if you're bigger, you have a much higher BMR. If you're smaller, you have less. Packaging is very misleading like that.

Ugh, speed. A ridiculous drug, cut with all sorts of stuff you can't imagine. Anyway, from what I know about VLCDs, I can't imagine it can be healthy to take slimming tablets. So...don't.

Mm, exactly - the amount of money I'd actually save next year would be :eek:

Thank you so much for your response :) I'm glad to hear you've found something suitable though, and it's scary that people do end up with such a screwed up relationship with food. I'll try and check out the thyroid issue; I'm going to try and go to the doctors about it (I'm not registered at...
