8.6lbs lost in week 1!!!!!!!! Woo! Feeling confident for this week, even had talk from my partner that he might join me. Tried to warn him how hard it is, see what happens next =)

I weigh in Mondays! Cheeky peek today and 8.2 loss! My trousers are already slightly loose yay! I'll be excited to report tomorrow what official week 1 weigh in is!

I've had some challenges. I seem to do much better when I'm distracted at work. Weekend I'm around my daughters food more and my partner eats like a student so the kitchen always smells of food I can't eat! Hope you've had a good weekend!

I started exante again Monday and am having a salad of unknown calorie for lunch. The salad usually includes a tiny amount of these ingredients: cucumber, spinach, tomato, beetroot. Then I'll add 2 eggs or a turkey/chicken breast. It's mist definitely under 200 cals but I like not knowing...

I've lost 8.2lbs and it's only day 6. Yay!

Hi guys. Yeah Aloize I will try to do that. I walk a LOT, over 30 miles a week just to get to and from work, without walking with a friend at the weekend or doing any housework my base calorie intake normally needs to be quite high so I'm sure this is going to be much harder than when I used to...

Ack yeah I haven't bought any soups as I did Exante 5 years ago when it was just a soup shake or bar and I hated the soups. Too traumatised to try the new flavours XD I guess I'll just give it a go. The only thing they might question is why I have such a small pot of pasta but I have a very...

I was here ages ago, so hit me with a Hi if you remember me! My BMI is over 38. I weigh 15st7lbs. Tomorrow or Sunday I am starting Total Solutions. I've had mixed success in the past. I can lose on it but have struggled to keep the weight off. Reasons for wanting to lose weight: To feel like me...

I kind of want to keep the diet completely secret as everyone in the office has a ***ing opinion of anything anyone does, or doesn't do. Feel like if they get a whiff of me bettering myself they'll tear me down. So does anyone make up their hot meals at home like in the morning and eat them at...

I'm taking amoxycilin for an ear infection right now. I asked the chemist if I had been put on another 5 day course because I was opening the capsules and swallowing (hate swallowing) and he said it won't have any affect. So long as the drugs are in your body, the stomach acid won't damage the...

Hey Carly! Not sure if you remember me, I was on here the same time as you a couple of years ago =) I restarted TS on the 15th, excited! Hope you are ok? Xx

Hi Jules, I personally love the winter bumper pack. I've ordered 4 or 5 of the soup/shake/bar pack and fancied a change and am really impressed by the winter pack with the carbonara and porridge. The porridge is sweeter than I expected =) I add cinnamon too. I've got some of my soup and shakes...

Hello, I've been on here before and boy, did it go wrong. Not because of the diet, because of life! I'll start with the negative and then tell you about all the amazing positives! I started TS on 4th August 2or3 years ago I (I think) and I managed to do it for over 28 days without cheating...

Just an update- got this feels like forever ago. I got glandular fever, and then whooping cough and then pleurisy. Totally been off the wagon since then. Did a ketosis diet for around 9 days out of 10 and then I fell off the wagon again and now I'm back to that irritating 'I wanna lose weight...

Well what a few weeks! I fell off the wagon- only really got myself sorted yesterday. I gained 2lbs but I did two weeks of LOTS of weights and an extra high protein meal each day- and my body feels a lot firmer so I don't think that 2lbs is fat, I think it's pure muscle.. Then last week I did...

Well I got 55 pounds worth of orders- 21% of the money I get to keep! So all that walking around has paid off- The scales aren't much lower which is disappointing, it might be a 2lb loss again this week come Friday.. though I do still have all day tomorrow.. not sure HOW I can carve off what I'd...

Welcome back Tink! And well done on coming back- heard lots of stories of people being disheartened with having to stop and not coming back for ages- And well done people on various weight losses! I've been trying to stay off here quite so much to stop myself obsessing but I'm missing the social...

2lbs weight loss- and the only thing I did differently this week? I've missed one gym session.. So it's clear the gym is the way to go *sigh* Only thing is I won't have time next week... I'm starting kleeneze, so I'll be walking to and from 200 houses each week, 3 times if they order something...

Day 39- Jeepers, I'd forgotten how long I'd been doing this. 84 days in total so I've got 45 days left =/ doesn't seem like long enough to lose what I want to =( Need to lose half a pound everyday- think it's time to burn some fat at the gym.. I wont overdo it but definitely getting back to the...

3lbs is still good! I went for the AAM option and didnt handle it well- though I've had a 4.5lbs loss this week because of it yay! =D Xx

Honk for today and the last 5 days =D Xx

=D So excited and no worries with the exercise, I love exercising =) As soon as I reach goal weight I'll go back- I used to go 3/4 times a week- might go twice and then fit in the jacuzzi a bit more when I get to goal weight =D Xx

OK I weighed in at 11 stone 9! So I'm officially 74kg and I've never been any lower than that in my entire adult life.. any extra weight I lose is going to transform my body into something I've never seen. Very happy :bliss: I've also not done any exercise this week- I have walked around a...

Thanks guys! Well I've resisted the scales and it's just 24 hours til I weigh so fingers crossed it's a good weigh-in. Been TS since Monday so feeling good about that, 3 whole days and my breath was stinking somewhere between day 2-3 and stank last night so I know I'm in K! Work has still been...

Awful Day- Work was amazingly busy- I stuck to the diet for the first time since doing AAM- I cheated everyday until today- not with anything bad, nibbled on meat mostly.. so looking forward to TS til the end of the diet now! Afraid to weigh myself til Friday so staying away from the scales...

Amazing Katt and welldone everyone! I've still been too scared to weigh myself- going to wait until Friday and hope the scales go low! I don't want to see a figure I dont like =/ But well done guys and woohoo for us all =D Xx

Oh Katt hun I had a few days of AAM and I hated it- I did a wobbly and had one bad thing and keep beating myself up about it. Now waiting to get back into ketosis so I don't salivate everytime the adverts come on telly for stuff! Hope yours was more successful! Xx

I seem to take the black and white approach of feeling like a winner or feeling like a total loser so the transition phase is quick and messy- soon be feeling like a winner again =) Going to take some tesco just-cooked chicken and some salad round my parents for their dinner- so even if I am...

Better- I know I threw myself out of ketosis but the hunger has been really hard so rather than freak out and eat anything bad I ate a little tin of tuna- it wont stop my body going into ketosis and it'll stop me ruining it all.. I think when I am back in ketosis it'll be easier and I'll feel...

Hehe- it wasnt even that good either. Posh one but it was an odd flavour.. the sugar in it sent my head wild! Think my blood sugar levels went wild- hence feeling so sick and so suddenly emotional.. I dont know about chocolate making people happy.. it sent me catatonic! Feeling more positive...

Yeah how are things hun? Hope you're keeping positive =) I've had a bit of a blip this week but looking forward to tomorrow- Day 29 tomorrow and I really feel like a fresh set of 28 will refresh my mood. Hope you've not been hit by the blues that's been sweeping through here! Xx

Being on Exante makes me feel so in control- you'll do fab on it hun.. most people find it's awesome =) Xx

Thanks Carly and Babezone =) Feeling really unsettled.. was gonna log off and crawl into a ball but wanted to purge the thoughts somewhere safer than just my mind.. I swear I wouldnt have these issues if we weren't surrounded with such beautiful people on telly and guys looked for more than just...

I just feel really stupid =( 28 days of effort and I undo it.. OK it's way better than I've ever done before but it makes me feel so stupid.. I've been weighing myself everyday since starting AAM and it's been rising.. feel like if I poop it'll go down and I'll feel less heavy and less like I've...

And for the first time in 28 days I've eaten something with fat and carbs in it- I couldnt help myself- I was going to give some chocolate as a gift to someone but I'd got them a couple of things and it seemed like too much so I didnt give it to them.. been resisting it since Sunday, should have...

Not long now! :D Xx

=( In a bad mood. I know the scales are only going up because I've got lots more food in me and it's still working its way out of my body but I hate feeling so frumpy.. Being full sucks.. So I've done 4 days of AAM and it sucks so I'm doing TS til the end starting from tomorrow.. Officially it's...

Hehe- I think water does help- That reminds me, I've not had nearly enough! *runs to the tap* Xx

They were the two things that came out best when I was looking. 0 fat and 0 carbs in the Turkey, lotsa goodness in the broccoli and loadsa protein.. ill have the same tomorrow and then I'll get some fish and i might even have an egg *faints with desire* but i dont want to go for the proteins...

=D It feels awesome Carly. Now I just bought some turkey and broccoli- I'm starting my AAM early for a few reasons: I've made it to Day 26 and it was easy. I've reached the 1 stone mark and because TOTM has reared its ugly head. I was feeling quite emotional and thought- screw it! I'm only 2...

Wow brilliant losses guys! Xx :happy096:

Thanks Carly and Scotminx! Last night was good. I'm not going to mention all the treats that were inches from me because I don't want to share the torture but I was strong. At one point one of them rubbed food on my closed mouth :drool: But I resisted. And I have officially lost a STONE...

Day 26 HONK! Xx :silly:

I lost some more :D How's everyone doing with their total losses?? Penny (Fittp00) Katt -15lbs (in total) ShellBell - Week 3 - 5lb Lost, Total = 21lb !!! Kazz Lauryn Lelly Magi Kelly LastDiet (week 1)8lb lost Kellyshines 8 lbs lost Honeytemple88 Tenney 7 lbs lost Nicci (Nicci3636) 12lbs from...

Um- My existence has largely been waking up each day and saying 'It's Day **' and patting myself on the back, weighing myself and then ignoring the day until I get to the next day! Sad really =/ I've been to work/been for long walks. I want to eventually be a writer but during the diet and...

I've nearly lost a stone Tink! :D Glad the op went OK.. is there a long recovery? WS would still mean you losing weight =) Hows the sewing going? Xx

A friend of mine had her TOTM for her entire time on exante, and I've had a short one in week 2- if your calorie intake is pretty low, its to be expected that the body will stop doing things it doesnt need to do- have you been doing the diet since april?? Have you added in a meal to boost the...

Hi Nearly30! I can see your excitement, it's so amazing looking at the scales and watching them go down so suddenly! I'm about 0.5lbs away from a whole stone =D You will feel hungry over the next couple of days but stick with it! I'm on Day 25 and I havent had anything but Exante! The hunger...

Day 25- Did a smaller walk than yesterday- was very thirsty when I got back and couldnt help weighing myself half-dressed and I'm definitely 0.5lbs away from a whole stone! Got roleplay tonight (geeky game with dice and a bunch of guys) and they eat crisps and eat crap the whole time. I was...

The vanilla one does pack quite a punch =/ I've got one last defective one to drink tomorrow- did you get your replacements? I got mine when I ordered another batch of stuff, asked them to put it in the same mailslot and they did which was really handy- so got the 28 days and then the 14 extra...

You wont ruin it Katt so long as it's loads of protein and no carbs that you're eating ;) Can't wait to have the aam week now! I'll go to the gym lots too to make sure if I do put on any weight itll be from muscle =) Xx

Thanks Darcy! =D It's been hard this last week- I know most people find the first week hard but this week has just been the hardest emotionally.. I'm really good at sticking to things, if I plan to do something I will and to the best of my abilities- this week has just been one long taunt. Think...

Day 24 I've lost 2 inches around my waist!!!!!! Feels awesome to have a higher number! Today's plan.. I'm going to relax.. and maybe walk to a mates and see how she is.. It's a long walk but I won't go overboard.. Oh and I've decided I will have an add-a-meal in week- I'll do it at the start...

Buying smaller clothes is going to feel so amazing =D I lost two inches around my waist, I just measured! I'm so close to a size 14 I can almost hear my size 14 trousers from the wardrobe calling for me to try them on! 14 isn't the end goal though. Size 12 would be ideal.. Wanted to share with...

You've got a whole year until your wedding day! Thats so much time to make yourself look fabulous =D You'll probably lose the first stone within 2/3 weeks but the other ladies are right, the rate of losing slows right down after that initial loss.. But you'll easily be at target months before...

Yeah you're right Ellie. I actually fear eating again. I tried explaining to my Dad, although I've never smoked so have no idea of what a smoker's craving feels like.. I said to him I HAVE to face my addiction everyday.. at least he could physically live without nicotine and he wouldnt have to...

That's what I was hoping- that it'll kickstart my body into losing again.. i just feel so silly for letting this hill I have to climb get so big.. never again I tell you! I'm going to crunch some numbers- It's wholly likely 56 days are not going to be enough and I always said if it takes longer...

HONKETY HONK! Day 24 baby! Xx

Thanks hun =) It's hard to stay positive when you just want it to go now now now! But it is going and I've always been too impatient. The scales look good today- 12lbs lost =) Hopefully by next weigh in it'll be the all important ONE STONE! It better bleedin' be! Xx

Oh kewl, yeah it'll be great to see how you find it. I'm veering on the edge of making a decision but i'll just have to see how much weight I lose this week I think. If it goes down too much I'll be so disheartened =/ I know the AAM is healthier but if weight loss goes down I'll be struggling...

Day 23 and the dreaded third week weigh-in. I lost 3lbs.. very disappointing.. Pondering having an AAM week in after day 28- I'm thinking it'll up my metabolism and make week 6's weight loss higher.. plus I was going to do TS until I lost all the weight I needed to lose but if it's going to take...

Has anyone had any different sort of experience on AAM week? Xx

Thats brilliant! Totally reachable and I've had a lot of people tell me I can't do it- they're eating their words now because I've lost 11.5lbs in 23 days and I've got another 33 days worth of stuff to get through which will hopefully be another 10lbs loss.. I've lost it a lot slower than most...

Wow and you've both lost so much! That's encouraging :D Thankyou. I'm reluctant because I know it may slow the loss down but my body is craving protein so much and I hate ignoring what my body is screaming out for. At least I can grasp back some muscle mass in that week and it's the muscle that...

I got some extra-strength senokots from tesco a few hours ago, took one an hour ago and the hardness of my intestines seemed to instantly go.. I've had a fair few less powerful ones this week.. i know theres something there but it's not coming damn it! Try not to take too many if you do take...

Hello! I'm at Day 23 and I'm seriously considering an add-a-meal-week between days 30-37. I was just going to plough on with the diet until I got to my ideal weight but it looks like that might take longer than the 56 days I had planned- so my question is, what does it do to weight loss? Now...

Are you guys going to add in a meal at week 4 Riggie or are you going to go the whole way until you reach target weight? Xx

Day 23 HONK! Been TS for agggges =D Gone so far theres no way I'm breaking this diet :D Xx

6lbs is amazing hun, youre losing it much quicker than I did. Largest I've lost is 4.5lbs! 6lbs is totally awesome, I bet you feeling like theres literally a load off your shoulders =D I love the freedom of this diet! =D Youll be at target weight in no time! Xx

Well done everyone on their losses. Amazing ones there. Wouldn't worry if it's a low weight loss. I only lost 4lb in my first week and panicked as I know the weight loss is supposed to go down after the first week but I've been consistently losing 4lbs each week =) Xx

Day 22 HONK! Xx

I'm going to have an all over body massage, buy some nice clothes and have a healthy meal out with my mother or my exante mate probably :D Definitely need to pamper myself.. I need to get a new bra already :'( The boobies are leaving me! How dare they!

I've lost an inch around my waist last time I checked. Not much else I don't think. I'll remeasure my waist tomorrow morning maybe. And the weight between 88kg and 74kg I put on when I went to American for 3 months. Anything below 74kg is lighter than I have ever managed to get.. I'm only a...

Well September is approaching guys! Been a really long august, longest august in history for me (I'm on Day 22 TS with no deviation) Everyone's had losses and we've all come really far! Was feeling quite low this morning but do you know what, I've lost almost 12lbs in three weeks- not to be...

Day 22- Feeling quite low if I'm honest. Got a good day planned, hanging out with the mate who introduced me to Exante. But the scales have depressed me =( 3.5lbs lost and it's weigh day tomorrow.. Whatever we do today I'm going to have to go to the gym tonight if we don't walk around much- I...

Yeah I'd like the wisdom of old age to get to me now please, when I'm young enough to enjoy it :D Hope today is stress free Xx

21 DAY HONK!! Xx

Thanks Marge! I may have to incorporate some packs in with the re-feeding plan because its gonna be hard to jack up my calorie count just with meat and fish.. even if I eat loads of the stuff! Broccoli has hardly any calories in it too.. My second batch of stuff came today with the free 14...

I have the same problem! Every birthday and theres like a 100 staff in the office so atleast once a week there is something on the table tempting me but I'd rather eat it as a thin woman than a fattie ;) Xx

Day 20: Waiting for my second delivery of packs. At the beginning of this diet I had no idea how long I'd be able to carry this on. I am a total penny-pincher so I knew I'd do the whole 28 days if I bought them- now I'm going to have another 28 I'm a bit nervous. What if I actually reach my...

=D That would be me probably Blobalob! I've added it to my sig now so everyone can see it- its my little mantra to keep me going- friend said it to me at the start of my diet and it's totally true :D Xx

I agree with the bowel comments. I got really demoralised because I thought I wasn't losing weight and really I was bunged up. If you havent gone for two or so days, take something! Also Don't weigh everyday if you can help it- and weigh at the same time preferably in the morning but you...

Once you get through the first couple of days you wont be hungry at all! The only time I struggle is when I am around other people who are eating. Day 20 and I've been 100% TS! You can easily get rid of that last bit in no time! :D Xx

A friend said 'The food will still be there when you've finished' to me at the start of my diet and I've really clung onto it. It's one of those mantras I say when I'm feeling weak :)

Good Luck with the op Tink! Hope it goes faultlessly :) I'm struggling today- worried I'll lose less than 4lbs this week- really dont want to lose less.. Going to do some yoga to try and push it off me! Xx

Just checking in on you. Sounds like a stressful week. I went on a terrible date at the weekend. Didnt like him by the end of it but I felt pressured so 'did stuff'.. feeling stupid and young now! It's amazing what our feelings make us do when our internal dialogue is like WHHHYY?? :eek...

Oh its not just me! Hadnt heard anyone dislike it yet.. it just is not my kind of food! Luckily I should have some extra milkshakes from that bad batch being replaced so hopefully I can stick it out and be on the diet a few days extra rather than those shakes replacing the t&b soup which is what...

Tom and Basil.. I think it's my tastespuds.. cause it tastes so salty and weird.. I literally love the others.. I think the only way to improve it would be to add a cheesy taste but i cant do that ='( I am very much love it/hate it, when it comes to food and I love most food, hence being so...

Day 19: Had a very active weekend. Went to the gym tonight.. staying in all day tomorrow and relaxing if I can manage it whilst I wait for more diet stuff to get to me- fingers crossed they deliver in the morning so I can do some things in town in the afternoon but if not then its a much-needed...

Dietgirl you sound just like me! I found my 'centre' a few years back and the mirror is the only thing that stops me feeling great- I feel alive, strong, healthy and wise but i look in the mirror and my body doesnt match my mind- my body is over-indulgence, lack of willpower and eventually...

That reminds me.. I haven't downed a litre yet tonight.. better get on it =/ Let the peeing commence! ;) Xx

Wow thats really good Yumymumy! I've got about the same as you- 19 days and lost about 11 lbs (dont officially weigh myself til friday but hoping to make it a whole stone soon :D) Xx

Oh no! Sending positive vibes to your cousin hun =( hopefully theyve just given you the worst case scenario *hug* Xx

The hunger goes I promise! After the first 3/4 days for me! I have maybe felt hunger three times in 19 days.. I still salivate around good smelling food and find it hard around people eating but its very much a mental battle than a physical hunger so stay strong and youll be into the 'easier'...

Day 19 HONK!;)

Katt my whole second week was really hard and I'd thought I'd lose nothing because of TOTM but I lost 4.5lbs, most of that was at the beginning of the week when TOTM wasnt so heavy but this week, after it, I had a sneaky peak and I'm 4 days from weigh day and have lost 3lbs already- bearing in...

Willow you do way better with water than me! I drink maybe 2 litres a day and I'm allllways on the loo, weak bladder =( I'm trying hard to up it but its just annoying getting up every half hour to pee! I've got a drumroll in my mind for the first stone to come off- I'm a good 4lbs away from it...

Day 17 HONK! =D

I think anyone can join guys, just put your names on the end *hug* Xx

Day 17 for me guys- feeling awesome, just wanted to share :D (havent broken the diet once.. but have had so many vivid dreams about food hehe) Xx

Penny (Fittp00) Katt -8lbs (13lbs so far ) ShellBell - Week 1 - 12lb Lost !!! Kazz Lauryn Lelly Magi Kelly LastDiet (week 1)8lb lost Kellyshines 8 lbs lost Honeytemple88 Tenney Nicci Jawspaws Riggie Ginger&Proud Quirk_Candy 8lbs lost! :D

Hey to give you new guys some encouragement I'm on Day 16 and I don't get hungry at all! I go to the gym 3 times a week and live totally normally but I dont have to face the hard decision of what to eat and all that measuring! Im sure youll all do great :D Just stick with it, its totally worth...

Yay hehe, we can be the 4lb club! I started on the 4th of August too so 4 seems to be the magic number for my diet hehe.. here's hoping for 5lbs next week though I agree anything over 2lbs is awesome =) Conventional diets you just hope you lose something.. this diet you can hope to lose double...

Tink go for loads of protein like Katie said- a bit of cream cheese on toast or something carby like that would knock you fully out of ketosis the day before but so long as you stay away from sugar and carbs theres no way the body can store, all it can do is build muscle and for every pound of...

Second weigh day! Lost 4lbs ish so total loss since day one, 8.5lbs! On day 16 now and hoping for a bigger loss this week- Got some walking around on a date planned for Saturday, going to take the new guy around Colchester and then Sunday I will walk him about some more :) Noticed that my VERY...

Ok day 16 and just had my second weigh in, 4lbs again, so total loss of about 8.5lbs in two weeks or so.. would have hoped for more but it's a loss! Means I've lost one 5th of the weight I need to lose atleast :) Sorry to hear youve been Poorly Tink! :( A stone is great anyways, I bet you feel...

Day 16 HONK! Havent honked all week so this is a very loud honk- havent sinned at all :D

Well it's not official weigh day til Friday morning but I always weigh early and I'm definitely going to have a bigger loss on my second week- totm looks like its going too thank god! Scales are showing 2lbs loss since Friday morning so thats good. Date was awesome yesterday.. hes such a hunk...

Definitely another couple lbs lost although its not official weigh-day yet- plus I've been 100% for 11 days =) Just thought I'd share =D Xx

Real inspiring diary hun! Saw you comment on a thread I was following.. Interesting that the gym doesnt affect your weight loss- I did it once this week and felt awful (just finished week one on exante) and I also had a smaller weight loss than everyone around me- 4lbs even though I was totally...

=) Chocolate rules but well done for only snacking once. I've not broken the diet still but I reckon if I did I'd eat the contents of my cupboards! Hows drinking the water going? Gotta keep hydrated :) Xx

Aww thankyou guys =) Yeah I'm feeling more positive this evening. Looking forward to Torchwood and a good sleep! It's amazing how hungry I felt when I was angry, probably because I was burning through my energies because of him- totally not doing it again, like you said he's not worth it! Only...

Honk for today! Know I wont fail :D Xx

Add mine! Though it's pathetic for start of day 8! 4lbs =( And my period is in full flow (WTF????? I'm not eating enough for a period surely!!) So yeah, I only did the gym once and Yoga once so I'm thinking this next week is going to be exercise like mad and make sure I have a bigger loss! Xx

Weigh in day and all I've lost is 4lbs =( It's a loss but it's not as dramatic as I'd have liked- now that I'm used to the diet I'm hitting the gym as soon as I can after work and making sure next weeks weigh-in beats that! Work hasn't helped, this c*** looked me in the eyes and said 'you are...

Yeah we've heard gossip of it in Colchester- hopefully its just small fry and nothing big.. what frustrates me is theyre stopping emergency services getting to help people.. spoilt little brats dont realise how priviledged britain is.. give them a day in afghanistan or libya and theyll soon cry...

Day 6 and I don't feel as bad as yesterday - definitely lost more- just two days til my weigh-in so I'm on track I think. So good to feel the scales go down, really needed to see that. Havent broken the diet at all and I am definitely in ketosis because I havent broken the diet at all but I dont...

Prove her wrong Tink by turning up in a few months time looking smoking hot and the jealousy across her face will be brilliant =D Xx

OK- mixture of posts here today, welcome to anyone new! Tink don't worry about the chicken, protein is completely fine and youre probably losing muscle mass on this diet so your body is screaming for protein, choosing the chicken just shows your body knew this and was tugging at you to eat it...

Honk :)

Oooo annoying pressies, I bet we can come up with a few! How about a computer game- makes them ignore the parents AND they always put games on too loud.. Or some very very highly sugared sweets so they run around like mad- my ideas suck but I bet everyone else has good ones =D Xx

*HUG* dont worry. it'll boost your BMR which in turn will mean you burn lots more tomorrow if you stick to the diet *hughughug* let go of the anger or itll just eat away at you and youll get more stressed and eat more! It's ok to blip. My mate did this diet for a couple of months and said she...

I bl**dy well hope so! I need some positivity to come from somewhere- I know I'm naturally inclined to get down, i self medicate with food and then gym so i know its just not going to the gym and not eating much is getting to me but I can do it- need to distract myself and be around friends-...

Thanks Katt! Today has been exhausting =( Tired, brain wont work properly! Not seeing much of a change on the scales either =( all this effort and its not falling off like it is for everyone else =( Feeling low but wont break the diet- its day 5 so i gotta be strong and give it the whole month! Xx

Hehe I've been strict all week- on Day 5 and I've not broken it once... really tired though, going to mong out in front of the telly and try to sleep lots! Bed by 10 for me! argh, and it is hard but its worth sticking to TS, its quicker than the others =) Xx

Honk but totally tired =( Xx

Im a bit of a spice fiend- spice is my friend but sometimes simple stuff like garlic can transform it! looking forward to day 5 tomorrow.. hope i see some proper weight loss soon =( Xx

Honk! Havent broken the diet despite it being my usual comfort food day! :D

I wouldnt worry youre so close to your target- its supposed to get harder the lighter you are unfortunately! Xx

Thats awesome!!! Welldone!! Hard work rewarded ;) Xx

Thanks Julie :) Wasn't impressed by the scales this morning so just did 23 minutes cardio- burnt quite a few cals on the eliptical so gotta be careful I dont overdo it but I feel energised happy and not achey! yay! =D

Yeah I was thinking of doing that Crims. Cause we'll put some water weight back on and as our metabolism re-stabilises to something more normal, we'll take on and store everything for a couple of days so I was thinking about going a half stone below what i am happy with and then I wont be...

Hi guys. Figured I'd write a diary too. I'm 22. Been struggling to lose weight all year. Thought I'd hit the magic balance between exercise and eating healthy yet losing stopped and no matter what calorie intake or gym intensity I do, the weight isn't going anywhere argh! So a friend...

Do you like spice? Couple of shakes of spice might help or some garlic powder? I doctored my basil and tomato soup this morning but I think I shoulda left it, tasted like i was already packed with flavour, garlic certainly not needed hehe Xx

Hows it going this morning Tink? =D Xx

Hehe happy sunday! Day 4 for me and the scales havent shifted so I'm off to the gym as soon as it opens to work out! This first week seems to be the week everyone loses a lot and i want to lose as much as possible =( Xx

Welcome to the Exante club Kelly! If youre determined it is sooo easy- I'm only on day 3 though so I'm sure itll get slightly harder but so far its been eaasy :D Xx

Wow 15 minutes is pretty quick. I dont think after opening one of the packets its taken any longer than 5 minutes to wolf it down hehe! I experienced hunger for the first time today- I was so excited it didnt really care and was just like yayyyy I'm hungry hehe weird i know! But I kind of have a...

Thankyou guys! and good luck Willow! I really should stop myself and weigh every other day or something but I find it so fascinating! Plus I can monitor exactly WHEN weight doesnt come off and compare it to if I was active that day- very active today! Coming back to a set of scales that gives me...

On Day Three and definitely lost 2.2 lbs at least so far =D When I wake I reckon it'll be bang on 3lbs yay! Had to share :D Xx

Mahoooosive honk ;) Xx

Ooo! I might have to try that- I'll see if my rate of losing peters out first maybe :)

LastEverDiet: Whats an AAM week? *intrigued* :)

Yeah, I love yoga, just did a 40minute routine- not amazingly intensive but I hadn't done it in such a long time it did burn! I used to do it when I could and enjoyed it but this year I've failed miserably- I've gone to the gym like 60 times this year! But when I get home doing Yoga seemed like...

I quite like the exante bars- though I'm on day 2 and havent had my 2nd one yet so I'm sure it'll get boring- I think I'd have the same problem, if it was too tasty I've be wanting two! Xx

I've learnt not to expect it to taste like I assume! The vegetable one would always be the one I'd think I'd like least because of past cup-a-soups but it was sooo much nicer than the chicken one, I thought I'd like the chocolate shake the most and the vanilla one was awesome.. I think these 4...

I bet those jeans fit really soon Tink! Are you doing any exercise with the diet? Xx

Well done everyone on their weight losses so far =D I weighed myself this morning and I'm 81kg (I'm weird in that I prefer KG measurements) so it's a bit more of a hill to climb than I realised- wondering how drastic tomorrows weight will have dropped- walked around town a bit today and have...

Yay! It's so exciting when it arrives =D I opened up a Vegetable soup straight away and it was delicious- so far had Thai Chicken today (wasnt that impressed.. will add my own spices to it I think) and a chocolate milkshake which I doctored with coffee but I think I'll have it as it is next time...

Feels good to be a loser ;) Xx

What sort of exercise are you hoping to do HT88? Full on cardio wouldnt really be needed unless you had a totally stationary life. I'm planning a mix of Yoga and gym ball exercises =) When I get round to it (havent done any yet and Im on day 2) Xx

My end goal is to put things into my mouth like I did when I was a child- unaware of its contents- and once a week weigh myself to make sure I'm doing OK. Anyone tried Yoga on here? Xx

5lbs rocks! =D Yeah I'm the same, I really want to get into the next stone, its such psychological encouragement! Xx

The first day I found really easy so it might be a good idea to start it on an awkward day because your body still has energy from yesterdays food in it =) I have a lot to do tomorrow and am dreading it because itll be day 3 and I reckon the hunger will start to properly kick in! argh! Xx

Still a great result FC =) It makes me so resolute to get there when I see other people have managed it- I find everytime I look at food its not because I'm hungry, yesterday in town was a clear example: I get there, I'm too early, I walk past mcdonalds, really wanted to go in and have a cheese...

I'm a total honkernator today ;) Got today in the bag :D

All I keep doing is weeing! I cant wait for us to all hit 7 days and start swapping how much we've lost. I'm literally not deviating from the diet at all so its just meal/bar/shake- black coffee and thats it! I wonder how much we can all lose between us =D Have to total it up at the end- bet...

Mine came at 14:30! But I resisted eating all day til it got here- word of advice, drink loads of water before it gets there! I drank so much I kept going to the loo but I think it really helped flush me out and get me ready =) Xx

Well done Dextersmum! I can resist quite well but if someone had a takeaway close to me I think id start salivating and dribbling! Its the smell.. so tempting! Big well done =D Xx

I do miss a good cup of tea Bobbi! I have powdered milk but it goes all clumpy =( Xx

Wow FC you are so close to your target =D I cant wait to get that far- Welcome to everyone and I'm new too! First day of Exante diet today- starving hungry but only because the food hasnt been delivered yet hehe Xx

Definitely dont think theyll be any growing of muscles with such a low intake.. it's gotta be the body getting used to the low cals maybe.. We need an exante expert to set us straight =) Xx

Anyone like the drinks that Exante have? I've not ordered any but was tempted to :) Xx

Awesome! I love beans =D I need to get some spices and flavourings to jazz up the soups I think =) Have you been reading everything on the site like me? Theres so much info on here! Xx

The last pair of wellies I bought had to be cut with a pair of scissors at the top and I was just a size 16-18 on my body! Things I can't wait for- Less awkward sex! Feeling good enough to be called someones girlfriend, feeling good enough to wear something fashionable without thinking I look...

@Stackhead- There's no need for it to pile back on- there'd be a couple of pounds because of the glycogen stores being refilled but so long as you exercise and come back to food with a realistic view of it all then it'll be OK =) I like it because theres no counting, no fuss and no decision...

I want to lose 3 stone and I'm doing Exante. First day of it today =D People lose at least half a stone in the first week of it usually- I am very health conscious and don't like the idea of such an extreme diet (I'm doing their Total Solutions diet) but it's just to shift this weight and then I...

Well Done Xx

11lbs is amazing, well done! It's day one for me today- wish me luck =/ argh! hehe Xx

The walking around will tire you out so make sure you have some baguette! The carbs will be instantly used because you'll be more active- unless its one of those sit and sun it up holidays? If so definitely just say NO hehe Xx

Does anyone know the answer to the exercise question? I've been looking around but can't see much on exercise and good luck HoneyT! Xx

*hug* Drinking water will fill you up =) I'm starving too and havent started the diet yet- waiting for the bumper pack to arrive- 1hr 20mins til it arrives. Good luck Daniella! Xx

My first HONK! =D So excited waiting for my packs, they'll be at my door very soon =D Xx

I either nibble very slowly or eat to completely fill my stomach to bursting.. So as I can't burst I'll definitely be nibbling slowly.. adding it to coffee is a great tip! I think I'll do that tomorrow when I'm in all day. Got a rare two days off work- how do people cope with taking the packs to...

I start today! I've been reading every post possible to get as much info as possible- I love hearing everyones opinions of the foods, it seems like everyone favours different things! Anyone tried Yoga whilst doing the diet? I'm thinking of doing Yoga and using the exercise ball rather than going...

I'm waiting for my bumper pack to arrive- so I'm very hungry cause I've not started the diet yet hehe- Drinking lots of water helps keep back hunger- though dont drink toooo much =) Xx

I'm starting Exante Total Solutions today! My bumper pack arrives in 3 hours but I'm trying not to eat til it gets here because I want today to be my start date.. I've lost a stone this year going to the gym and eating well and I've found the gym is doing nothing now- I tried a full-on diet...
