ooooh pretty!! love it, you'll look fab :) those pants are a godsend, makes it a lot easier to talk to people if you're not sucking your tummy in all the time hehe yay for smaller work clothes too, you're doing so well! you are a stronger woman than me facing a buffet! i don't know what it is...

yesterday was good :) jumped on scales this morning and back down to 212 where i was before the distaster! but then today i had to pop into town to get something to wear for our anniversary saturday and had to buy a size 20 :sigh::mad: what a downer, i was an 18 at start of diet but was...

hiya.. yes that would be great, might help to have someone kicking me up the backside.. hehe it does feel awful, you're right.. perhaps now i have that final bit of oomph needed to stick to it.. how was your birthday hun? x

wow, well done!! 11lb in one week, that's amazing :) Mx

i'll join in! i need some extra incentive after failing miserably last week.. need to lose 1 1/2 stones by end nov to be on target! Mx

so so angry with myself. last week was a complete write off, i ate normal food all week and drank lots of wine and have gained 3lb because of it. it was my 3rd weigh in today (though i'm not sure why i bothered) and where i should have lost nearly a stone by now i am, in fact, only 5lb down...

that is fantastic, irishlass!! well done you :) Mx

i just wanted to quickly add that it was here that i read which drinks are ok or not to drink, as far as keeping you in ketosis goes.. just saying ;) http://www.minimins.com/exante/188712-helpful-list-ketogenic-foods.html

thank you, i definitely agree with you.. i also had the same issue with alcohol before. again, not alcoholic but drinking waaaaay too much, and i think that is one of the major factors in my weight. yes, i was eating too much of the wwrong stuff, but before i started drinking years ago i was a...

i am/was the same.. just eat and eat for the sake of it! and drank far too much alcohol too.. i thought total solution would be the best for me, as on other diets, having the food still there i just find it hard to stop. this way, you have your set 3 packs for the day, and for me that just makes...

hi and good luck with your second attempt :) i too am starting again today, i fell off the wagon BIG style on friday but i am back now and not going anywhere.. just saw your losses - 2 stone in 8 weeks, that's fantastic!! Mx

yes, i guess you are right.. i kind of thought that it was not really possible but needed to hear someone else say it! still, if i can lose 4 stone before my birthday then that will still be amazing and i won't mind having photos taken! then i suppose it will seem like a smaller goal to shift...

you have done so well :) we have a similar amount to lose, and seeing how well you've done in that space of time is really encouraging! as for the messing about, i think everyone must do that at some point, it's bloody hard sticking to the packs (i find it hard, anyway) but i did the same thing...

haha that emoticon made me laugh! hopefully you're right, i just got to the point where i was like 'sod ketosis, i HAVE to eat something solid!!'

the next four months are going to be some hardcore TS 100% months.. i'm turning 30 in feb and want to be at goal by then.. do you think this is possible to lose that amount? i know everyone is different but i wondered if anyone has had any similar loss in same amount of time? or does it seem...

wow - a stone in a week, that's brilliant! well done you :)

thanks everyone, it was a weird one.. GSQ it makes sense about the body missing all the bad stuff it's been used to! i decided to eat some toast but then i was really sick :/ but anyway this morning things seem a better so fingers crossed it was a little bug or something.. hope you're all well...

erm.. tummy troubles?? i have got such a poorly tummy today and it can't be anything i've eaten as i am on TS.. i'm only in 2nd week, is this normal? Mx

with you on all those listed so far :) - to be able to make use of my huge wardrobe full of clothes and stop rotating the same three horrid, baggy outfits (i refuse to buy anything in a bigger size) - to not feel so self conscious when in bed with my OH - to not wobble as i walk!! - to not have...

that's great, guys!! well done for being 100% too and not naughty like me lol i really wish i hadn't had that party but oh well, been 100% so far after it, although i did have to have an extra pack yesterday.. eek! i have got back into my size 16 jeans today, although i'm not actually wearing...

hmmm.. haven't had much experience as i have only had one box so far.. but it was a months worth of shakes, soups and bars, all in one box. i haven't seen any other complaints of this nature either? have you joined the facebook page, if you are on it? you might be able to post on there and see...

people write about getting into the 16's or 14's etc?? new to the site, still learning! is it clothes size? stones? sorry for the dumbness lol Mx

wow! 19lbs!!! well done, that is absolutely amazing!!!

i guess i'm being greedy having seen so many people lose twice that in the first week! everyone is different, i know that.. but i want it all to fall off instantly lol i'm finding the most difficult part of the day is when i cook for the others in the evening.. it's like actual torture!! i need...

well, my first week weigh in and i have lost half the amount i thought i would have.. i wish so much i had been strong enough to not fail at the birthday do :( but i know how bad this feels now, so i next time i consider breaking the diet i will remember this feeling.. i am 6lbs down from when i...

AF = aunt flo = period! :) ggrrr i've just seen that this question has already been answered but i can't work out how to delete this so here it is again!

well done. i love reading losses like yours, it inspires me to keep going.. that's amazing in that amount of time!! you must feel great ;)

steph - i actually haven't tried the regular one so i can't compare, but i find the reduced salt one really tasty.. nonnibear - i am also 30 in feb and would like to be able to take some photos of the celebrations.. i will not be taking any if i do not shrink a bit! hope everyone is doing...

it is actually nice! i've used it for years as a stock and a drink.. i use it to flavour lots of things.. try marigold reduced salt organic.. and if you don't like it as a drink then you can use the pot up in cooking :)

yes i have some old clothes to get into first, but that skirt is my ultimate goal ;) i don't even fit into my maternity clothes atm, it's disgraceful! it's so annoying cos i lost most of my 'baby weight' (my son is 4 now) and then over the last year put it all back on, and more! :cry:and with no...

morning steph well, yesterday was actually a bit better, i managed to space out the packs a bit better - the first 2 days i'd done all 3 by 3pm! not good! but day 3 i have to say i didn't get many rumbles, til i was trying to get to sleep which then kept me awake for a while but i just kept...

hi shanie i have only just started myself, but i have to say, it was just the 'shock' my body needed.. this is only my fourth day but i got on the scales this morning and i have lost 5 lbs already! i'm not gonna lie, the last 3 days have been tough, but actually yesterday was a lot easier.. was...

ok, so it's day 4, and i just couldn't help myself have a peek on the scales.. 5 lbs gone!! 5 lbs gone after 3 days on exante.. i hope it continues to fall off this rapidly!! have a fantastic day everyone :) Mx

you must feel so proud of yourself :) i have this niggling thought every day that tells me i can't possibly lose that much, but i will think of you every time it comes into my head! xx

oh! now, if it were my own birthday i have to say there would be no question.. i'm afraid to say i would not be strong enough to resist, and would definitely come out of ketosis ;) but you have to think about what you would rather do, of course! it's such a dilemma, isn't it.. whatever the...

:( ok.. well, thank you for the info.. i am going to have to think very hard about whether to come out of keto and start again, or just to suck it up and stay sober!! it's my partners birthday on friday and it will be hard watching him drink! i can cope with watching him eat but drinking...

i have a couple of events coming up and have read that vodka is ok as no carbs, but any thing i would usually mix it with (tonic/lime cordial & soda/OJ) is out, so i wondered if anyone could suggest anything as i'm out of ideas! Mx

GSQ - i'm sure the soups will have to grow on me, seeing as they're the only hot 'meal' i'll be having for the forseeable! the veg one isn't too bad, it's just they're all so creamy, and i prefer my savoury stuff to be, well, savoury! onwards and downwards anyway :)

new to this - what is virgin blubber lol WELL DONE you though, that is awesome!!! i have that same amount to lose.. really encouraging that you have lost the same :) Mx

thanks for the words :) day 3 and i WILL NOT fail!! i have a skirt that i used to wear before i had my son (4) and i am determined to get back into it.. how much did you lose in that year, if you don't mind me asking? Mx

well, i have to say, this is not easy! but i am only in first few days.. i started on monday and the last 2 days have been awful, i've been SO hungry!! but, i have read lots of encouraging things about the hunger going, so am staying strong.. the test will be at the weekend when i go out :/ i...

hello everyone, wishing you all lots of luck :) i too started yesterday and have found these last 2 days very hard, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed it will get easier.. i'm pretty sure a good weigh in next monday will be encouragement enough, just have to stick to it til then haha i have 7...

so, i've started doing exante.. but i am finding it basically impossible to get through each day with just the shake, bar and soup :( obviously i have a problem with food or i would not be on the diet in the first place haha.. but i don't know how ever i am going to adjust and stop thinking...

thanks guys! packs ordered and will be here tomorrow.. had my 'last supper' tonight (and some red wine hehe) all prepared now, got my focused head on now.. going to need some serious will power through the next few days, of that i'm sure.. but it's great to hear others on the same journey! good...

hi everyone :) i will be ordering my first pack as soon as i get up in the morning (pay day, yay!) i wondered if anyone has any success stories and/or helpful words..? i have been needing to take this on for quite some time now, and would like to lose 7 stone (please!) has anyone lost near...
