Cheers peeps:) I've also found some rooibos tea with cinnamon and nutmeg - very festive, but I can drink that black with a bit of sweetener.

:mad: I'm not happy. Got a major sore throat and very heavy cold and generally feel lousy! Thing is, usually, at this stage I would be comfort eating (or drinking to make myself feel better). That's not going to happen, so I'm going for LOTS of hot drinks. Only thing is - I'm all decaf...

Hope it all goes well for you:D The other half and me are both on day 6 now, and apart from feeling lousy today because I'm getting his cold:mad:, it hasn't been half as bad as I thought! I really did worry that I'd done the right thing when I bought the bumper pack - thinking I may not even...

So that's 7 stone in 5 months??? Wowser! Would love to have those kind of results. Very well done.

I suffered before Exante, but thought the diet would stop it. It didn't, but I've resisted the temptation to take anything so far. It has got a lot better 5 days in though. Good luck.

I'm on day 5 now and have good bits of the day and not so good! I think ketosis has kicked in (according to the ketostix), but maybe it's still a bit early doors right now. One minute I feel great, not hungry, really positive, then the next I get the shakes and feel I need to eat. I'm hoping...

You look lovely. Well done! :D

... and Sheena has a stomach ache!! What gives?? We're both doing better than I had dare to dream on TS, but not liking this stomach ache thing! Had 1 shake so far today about 4 hours ago, so, had to go to the emergency sliced cucumber to see if it helped, and it did! Didn't lead to wanting...

Wonder what it would be like lightly coated in a soup mix then fried? May get a seasoned crust thing happening?? Mmmmmm:D

After that - I think there is:) We all have to learn some time Starlight, but shouting a response 'ANOTHER' post moved because of food references is hardly welcoming any newcomers with open arms - added to that, your less than understanding response!!! I did make the mistake of mentioning...

Sorry. Didn't know if I had posted it in the total or main Exante sections. I'm new here Starlight, and feel pretty rubbish with the response. I've been looking at your profile with a great amount of admiration and respect, which is a shame, because I did pick up some sarcasm with your...

Still loving all of the shakes/soups and especially the bars! Which leads me to a confession.... I had an extra bar yesterday:( I really battled with my demons and felt pretty dodgy - spaced out, very cold and couldn't concentrate, so, I had cleared out the house of anything remotely edible...

Hi Kate. Me and my hubby are newbies like you, but we're into our 3rd day now and it seems to be getting better. I'm thinking ketosis may be kicking in which is what we all want! Anyway, I could write a book about calorie counting and have lost huge amount (stones) over the years, but wanted...

There seems to be a lot out there, and the two I have in the cupboard may be suspect:confused: I have canderel tablets - but they're aspartame, and Splenda granules - thought this was ok but in tablet form? Looks like I'm out for two? Would love to know what you're all buying. Cheers, Sheena

Day 3 now. It's coming up to 12.30 and I haven't had anything yet. Yay! I also pee'd on a stick today and it was pink!:eek: Hoping that's ketosis kicking in? It's really funny because the OH and I were just saying how much money we'll be saving on food per month(both of us on total), but...

What would be the best thing to have? I'm in day 2 and my mind is playing tricks on me big style! I really had to work on myself to stop being bad today. The first time I poured a very small glass of Asda cream soda and sipped it through a straw, but tonight I ate a raw carrot. A raw carrot...

Me too. It'll be at least until Xmas for me - got 6.5 stone to lose. Would love to be one down after a week!!! That's incredible - well done!:D

So funny - I went to asda this morning and it seemed really freaky walking past all of the food isles. Didn't need any of it because both me and the OH are on the diet! Our trolley was very similar though:-). Love the bouillon. Lol

This is my first day, and I was going to post the exact opposite to this thread!:D Having gone straight from eating lots of pretty decent quality food OFTEN lol, I have just completed my first day and sampled: Mushroom soup (husbands), Chicken (mine) Banana (mine) and Vanilla (husbands) and...

Reading my initial post, it may sound like I have no other pleasure in my life! I SO do, but what I was referring to was the overriding instant gratification pleasure that food gives me constantly each day. It would be truly wonderful to not need that. Unfortunately I think until today(:D), I...

Would love every day to go like this! Me and the OH have just had our last meal of the day and haven't been hungry at all. The real surprise is how much we liked everything. Got the variety bumper pack so wanted to sample as much variety as possible. Breakfast me banana and him vanilla -...

Great suggestions - thanks. Really like the idea of taking a bar with. A few years ago when I weighed a bit less, we loved bike riding. I could see us stopping and having a bar with a flask of tea at lunch time:D I absolutely know what you mean about being free of the need to use food as a...

Starting tomorrow! Evening All! I'm getting all psyched up for starting Exante total tomorrow with the other half. I have at least 6 stone to lose, and him 4.5 Never tried a total meal replacement diet before and am a bit worried about the first few days before ketosis. Planned it around...

Hi all. I've been a fan of this forum for many years and in preparation for starting Exante total tomorrow with my husband, I thought it would be the perfect time to join. The house is cleared out of food, we've got a kitchen full of water, and the bumper pack is sitting in the kitchen ready for...

Hi, I'm starting with my husband tomorrow with Exante total. Great advice. Good to see someone else starting the same journey:D

Starting total solutions tomorrow with my husband. Got no real food in the house and an Exante bumper pack in the kitchen:D What I'm worried about is - where will I get my pleasure/comfort from when the food is out of the equation? For example, we love to go for little country drives - but I'm...

I'm starting tomorrow with my husband. I need to lose 6 stone and him 4.5. Wish us luck!:D

Hope we can do this!! We're both pretty addicted to food and need to stop the stupidity now! Two years ago we both lost 4.5 stone and here we are back to where we started. So, I think we need to abstain as much as possible and follow a vlc diet. Got the Exante bumper pack in the kitchen...
