Not as bad as my 10lb gain this week after being 100% :P I have a body composition monitor coming this week, so I'm going to start weighing by body fat % :D

Yeah, I have a semi-hard floor in my bathroom, but it's like a thick linoleum, so it has the slightest spongy feel. I wonder if that'll effect results. The only other "hard" floor in the house is the kitchen, and that's the same material.

Well I test in the morning, so it'd be concentrated anyway. Later on in the day they get lighter. I drink at least 3-4 litres a day so I doubt that's a problem...at least I hope not :P I also ordered a £50 Omron scales last night, hopefully it'll be here on Friday. Apparently it's really good...

Yeah, I'm probably just gonna go ahead and order new scales, and discount this weeks WI, and just start again from next week.

The scales I have are pretty cheap digital ones, so I'll probably splurge a bit and order a better one from Amazon tonight. My scales I have are a bit small, so I could do with getting one with a bigger platform anyway, my toes tend to cover the screen :P

Funnily enough, I'm not tempted to eat. Sure, I still crave a hamburger more than anything in the world, but I have the motivation to go on. Honestly, I haven't felt this good in years, regardless of weight loss :)

As a guy, I can relate to this, and I'll just give it to you from a guys perspective. I just got out of a serious 5 year relationship, and I will admit I did this towards the end of the relationship. I personally felt I wasn't getting the love and validation from my partner, and had to seek it...

Just got my Ketostix in the mail, and they're the darkest I've ever seen them, so I'm definitely, heavily, in Ketosis, lol. So I don't really know what's going on. I'm gonna assume I'm retaining *alot* of water, and in that case I need to sweat more :p

The scales are only a week old, so I assume the batteries are fine :/

Yeah, I keep having to pull my jeans up more and more everyday...I really should invest in a belt :P

Hey guys, I just had my weigh in this morning, and I clocked in at 263, 9.4lbs heavier than last week. Nothing but shakes and water have passed my mouth so I'm dumbfounded as to how this can be. I'm a bit stressed to say the least :P Chris

No, I thought that was the case myself, so I weighed myself like 6 times :p

Thanks Guys, I'll try and hold off the scales until Monday :P Still a bit stressed about not seeing a loss, but I guess that's why they don't say to weigh yourself midweek :P

Well I can assure you, it's definitely not my time of the month :P I also "use the facilities" regularly and haven't noticed any constipation as of yet. I guess I just need to stop hopping on daily...maybe the stress of it all is putting my body in survival mode :P

Hi, I'm completely confused right now. On Monday morning I weighed in 253.6lbs post-bathroom. This Morning (Thursday) I weighed in at 258.6lbs post-bathroom. Nothing has passed my mouth other than the shakes and 3-4 litres of water a day. I assume it's probably retained water, but...

I'd definitely get off the diet straight away and do a pregnancy test.

I passed a KFC on Saturday...Smelled amazing, yet I resisted :D

Great start :D I can feel my jeans getting a bit loose now that you mention it :P

I have a history of being able to lose and put on weight really fast...I'm pretty sure I have an odd metabolism. So maybe that's a contributing factor to my week's loss?

Thanks for the support guys :D I don't think there's a chance of me giving up now :P

You could always pinch your nose as you drink them...you won't be able to taste them that way. They do get better as you go along, as I find my tastebuds change over the course of the diet. Just keep strong, I definitely gagged the first couple of days :D

Thanks Guys :D I'm delighted, and I might even treat myself to a can of Coke Zero after work :D

The Banana is definitely my shake of choice. It reminds me of the Yazoo Banana milkshakes, though nowhere near as good. Either way, I just make them at 200ml and down them in a few gulps, finishing off with a glass of water.

Hey guys, Feeling delighted with my first weigh in this morning. I started last monday (16th January) at a weight of 280lbs even, and I weighed in this morning (23rd January) at 253.6lbs, a 26.4lbs drop. I know it was mainly water loss, but still, it's major motivation for me. I'm hoping...

I got the Argos Value Range digital scales. As accurate as the high-end ones at the gym.

I must get some of the soups in my next order! I had my first visit to the city today since I started. Had to walk past 3 or 4 fast food places, was tough, but feel great that I was able to do it. I was starving the whole time though :P

Hey, Just started Exante TS on Monday (Well, technically restarted), so I thought I'd come here and introduce myself :) I'm Chris, 22 years old, and currently working as a Software Engineer in Dublin. Back in 2007, I was pretty active and slim, but around that time I got into a relationship...

I'm not defending McDonalds or anything, but this is regarding Acrylamide, which is formed by baking starchy foods. Any baked starchy food has the potential of causing the above listed side effects, not just McDonalds food.

After a couple weeks of starting over every day, I've decided to go all in, and commit to a 5 stone weight loss in 73 days. I'm a technical guy, so I'm trying to help myself stick to the diet by turning it into an experiment with my body (can't be much worse than the junk I'm putting in now)...
