I dont but I'm going to get it off my mum this week when she gets back from holiday :) but i know the way she makes it, it's like a stew with corned beef homemade veg soup and potatos :) Ill get the recipes off her :)

One of my faves for the winter is corned beef hash. But my Mum seems to make it differently from how I've ever seen or heard it made before. but it so yummy!

Well I have been doing exante but had to stop due to new medication not allowing me to become ketoic. So giving WW a bash!

Hi everyone, I've recently been doing exante but changed over to WW as the medication I now take won't allow me to become ketoic. I'm going to be discovery as I have my mum's old stuff and will be doing it from home too as just spent £200 on exante products. I will be using exante products as...

Well I've got a bit of an announcement. I have been to the doctor yesterday and she has changed my medication for my bipolar and manic depression so I will no longer be able to become ketoic so I'm going to have to stop exante. I'm not really happy about it tbh, but theres nothing I can do, I...

Exante is my comfort blanket to!

Thanks everyone, well I've had my little sulk and my little munch for the last couple of days and I'm feeling better, so i'm out of ketosis adn 2lb heavier (oh joy). I decided to start decorating my flat as haven't even given it a lick of paint since we moved in 3.5 years ago and it's time it...

I have spoken to her about it, and she knows how I feel. She always says to me "well I was told I couldnt concieve but i had you after trying for 6 months and fell pregnnat between you and your brother and misscarried" and i try to explain to her that she had a back tilted uterus and that she...

Well I need to have a mega moan, But I don't want anyone to think I'm a bad person. Me and Mr K have been trying for a baby for 4 years. We can't concieve because I don't get periods due to my weight and health conditons. I found out last night my cousin is pregnant and I'm devastated. I found...

|I get that hun, they start off like mega itchy little red lumps an after a couple of the days the will almost pop and turn into dry skin. Its just contact dermatitis its nothing to worry about. I used to get it all the time when I worked in nurserys. Persoanlly id get some bars, now I got them...

Hey G, whats wrong with a blow out? nothing! better you having a blow out for 1 evening than beating youself up, you hiding away and putting on weight. Aslong as you can get back on the wagon thats what counts!

I'm going to be using slimming world to mantain, and yeah it's a great eating plan! i did it before and lost 4 stone. I couldnt reccomend it highly enough.

Ok ladies need to have a little bot of a moan. I'm normally a size 22 and I have a job interview tomorrow and desperatly needed a new interview outfit as i ate my way out of my old work clothes and I havent worked in a year. I'm desperate to get a job as me and Mr K have been surviving barely...

I'm now 10lb down with WI day 2 moro (didnt want anyone to know about my scale hopping! haha) and Mr K is down 5lb so everything is good in the kizzle household!

Honk for day3, 4, 5 :)

Trust me to lower the tone eh?!? haha!

Isn't that just the truth! I'm terrible for getting hooked on things! I have a really addictive personality! I rember when I cut the food booze and fags all at one go, I ended up spending £20 on scratch cards. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I'm hoping I'll get...

Ok so today I get to try a bar and a choc shake as they are the only flavours I havent tried. Just tucked into my bar and OMG how big are they? haha! like a mega chunky bar! i'll only be having the fruit and nut as Mr. Kizzle doesn't like rasins so he gets the choc orange which works out great...

Wow! look at you go! quitting the smokes and losing weight! your a better woman than me! I've turned into a right train after starting exante! I really must quit too, but I'll get comfy with the diet first. Good luck for a lighter day ahead!

oh dear! haha! I tend to find they help me to swim as buoyency aids ;) Aww glad you enjoyed it! I miss swimming as I ate my way out of my cossie! won't be long till I'm back in it though! Romping?!?!;) what are you not telling us? haha!

Hey Iwill :) hows everythiong going? a bit of bread wont kill you :) and I think with exante re: toilet situations people either cant go, or cant stop going! haha! no happy medium!

Morning my lovelies, On saturday I ordered, a shakes and bars pack and the 3 water flavourings, they arrived this morning. well something arrived this morning. Intead of the shakes and bars pack I ended being delivered 2 mixed bumper pack and my water flavourings. :S so me and Mr. kizzle have a...

Thank you my lovelies! well on day 5 now and sorry for not updating for the last couple of days! It's been mad busy here! :) vI'm loving this diet and every day i feel stronger and more determined! lets hope it pays off. Some great news on the job front I got an interview! :D and the wages are...

I have 12 stone nearly to lose hun, your not the only one don't worry :)

Every pocket of every trouser, coat, cardi, jumper i own has a dog poo bag in it! And really? now thats just lazy!

Exactly, I may only be 23, but I'm a resposible pet owner and I just wish some other peole were as concientious I guess. But they all will get there come upance one day :) There used to be a man who lived up my road and he had the most beautiful and loving staffie, but he wouldn't shut his...

FF I totally agree with you there! We were walking our dog the other morning, she is a little jack russell yorkie cross and we rescused her. Now I know she is unneutered (but not in season atm) and everyone was letting there dogs run about like nutters. Now lilly is full of beans and I wouldn't...

have a lovely time FF and crossing my fingers for even more wobble shedding :D

could you not turn them into icecream?

With the hot ones with coffee, I make a black coffee with sweetner then add the powder to it and blitz with a hand blender Same for the strawberry but I just dont put any coffee in the hot water.

haha won't be wide for long with exante ;) so he'd better get saving! haha!

Isn't it weird how when your on exante you can smell other peoples food so much stronger! My mum had toast yesterday and had some primulae cheese and chive spread and I could smell the chives all the way in the lounge! I sat across from my mum yesterday while she ate her lunch and found it...

Get DH to buy you a ride on mower :)

Wow you did amazingly well! And it just shows how a slip up wouldnt even be worth it! Well done! back to TS today :) :bliss:

Yeah exactly, I'm a bit of a diary stalker too! I may not always comment as I always think people will think my comments are stupid! haha! but doesn't mean I haven't read them. I think exante is such a personal journey even more so than other diets as it takes real commitment, and it can open...

well day 4 today and time seems to be going really slowly! I want it be Wi day already so I can officially update stuff! quiet day planned today. Buying some more packs today as money will be tighter later in the month so need to get them now :) Think I'll get the shakes and bar bumper pack! :)

Thank you my lovely :) Yeah the diary definatly helps! It really has kept me going with the ups and downs i've had before I started, because I know if I hadn't I probably would of failed miserably by now. This probably sounds really silly but here goes..... sometimes when I'm feeling not so...

I have my vanilla, choco and banana hot with coffee and my strawberry hot with no coffee. :)

Honking to the max!

Yeah it's really weird how our body does stuff!

The dopey idiot forgot Ketosticks but deffo loving K! forgot to have my soup until now! lol! off to bed soon as pretty tired today. Plus been applying for jobs this evening so hopefully something will come from them as I have cracking C.V even if i do say it myself :P I've never really had...

Haha they are kinda hard But not as hard as i thought they would be, I think its the positive attitude I've had. I think they would of been alot worse if i had been dreading them. shame my OH was there I could of had a real perv! lol!

2lbs is great! Make sure your keeping up your water intake as will help you shrink! more your drink, more you shrink!

Yeah I tend to find with any diet I lose for the first 4 days and the last 3 I don't.

Well what a manic day! I had virgin installed but now we changed over to sky so had lots of hunky sky men filling up my flat! Had my first shake at about 1pm and so far only had 1 litre of water and 2 coffees. Must drink more. Also i think the K fairy has visitied as no hunger, no cravings and...

Wow fab news on the 8lb NT! that is a great loss for the first week!

Yeah it is true! I put mine in a glass in the freezer and break up the crystals so it's like a slushie! nom nom!

8lb is great! well done you!!

Got to stop doing these sneaky mid-week WI's! but another 3lb off :) total 8lb so far!

I'm sorry to hear about gucci FF. My dad rescues battery hens, and has geese, guniea foul and ducks. I know whats its like when they are your pets and something happens to them and then they pass. Sending you hugs.

Good luck for weigh in NT!!! :D

do you think honey camomile and vanilla tea bags would be ok? haha! so many questions!

Thank you GSQ! :)

Got a bit of indegestion and was wondering am I allowed to take a rennie? I'm only gonna take one, think this will be a problem?

There you go! and you should feel great you have already completed one of the goals! well done you!

Thank you xhannahx, My biggest problem isn't losing weight because I'm one of the lucky ones who it falls off it's just keeping on the wagon! I'm very easily persuaded!

I'm a starter on Day 2 :) I'v done atkins before and got into ketosis on day 3 so I'm hoping it will be the same with this. I'm hoping today is my hungriest day, and tbh I'm not even that hungry! Good luck with the restart :)

I would personally say stick away from any carb (rice, noodles, batter) and maybe have some shredded duck (if you like it) or anything meaty even chicken balls and srcap of the batter. Try and head for the more stirfyish dishes. Good luck! And I'm not really a vegetarian by choice either, I'm...

Thanks lovelies. Just been to the jobcentre and that wasnt exactly the place I wanted to be but anyway only another litre of water down :( so that makes it nearly 2.5 litres so far. I really need to up my water intake! just off to have my second pack of the day, hopefully ketosis will follow in...

Well Just had a sneaky WI and desperate to see if it's working and according to the scales I've lost 5lb! Im in shock!

sad

I have tried the tom and basil soup when mum did it. she had to add salt, pepper, curry power and garlic granules, dried herbs and have double the amount of water recommended. It was a little better. But the veg is deffo my fave so far! Veg soup, banana shake with coffee and vanilla shake with...

Does the lemon souffle body wash not make you hungry? I had a shower lastn ight and my cocnut shampoo made my tummy rumble! lol

Hey BB, I have a really weird diet I'm somewhere between a vegetarian and a vegan. I'm allergic to meat proteins and dairy in it's raw form (can have things like exate or a tiny bit of cheese or milk in bought products, but cant have something like a cheese sarnie or a glass of milk weird huh?)...

Welcome Dawnmarie! It doesn't matter how much you weigh, no one on this site will judge you based on your weight, we are all on the same weight loss journey, the fact you have signed up means you want to change that and thats the important thing! doesn't matter if you have 7lb to lose or 700lb...

SammyE - 15lbs LastEverDiet - 10lbs Teetiefunk -15lbs Kizzle - 14lbs

I think i'll stay away until next week just in case and have a little try once im comfortably in ketosis. thanks :)

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if we can drink earl grey tea? not sure on the bergamot bit and whether its ok to have when trying to get into ketosis? thanks!

Well, I've seen lots of posts about lb's being lost and it's a great motivation, but what about those motivations that are not based on weight. Old clothes that now fit, or walking further, seeing bits of you that you havent seen for a while ;) or resisting a particularly *danger* food, I...

Fab news on the jacket! What a great NSV!

Good luck for Wi 2moro! :)

Welcome Grimois, Read the first post and well done you for getting your depression on a even keel/under control. Depression is a very difficult disease to deal with day in and day out. And it wouldn't surprise me that it contributed to weight gain. I suffer with manic depression and bipolar, so...

Love this post! sounding really positive this morning hun! Funny you should say it about the salad, I was dreaming about grapes last night in bed and had a terrrible craving for crudites with homous! normally it would of been a craving for dominos, or a chinese! I'd rather crave fruit and veg...

There is a refeed program that you get in a booklet I think with the packs, it will tell you what you can have and gradually introduces carbs back into your diet. Good luck for your Exante Journey :)

I bought 4 bottles of volvic and When I finish that one I fill it up with water and pop it in the freezer then when I fill up my last I put them all in the fridge.

Morning all, woken up really tired, legthargic, hungry and in a foul mood today. Mr Kizzle has been pushing all my buttons so far this morning and it's not really what I need right now. As title says woken up ravenous, and I mean so hungry I actually feel sick. I was hoping not to have my...

Yeah Definatly!

Not far then! how spooky is that! lol! i walk my dog every morning to torre abbey park and up to chestnut road! literally yards! lol

torquay! I live in castle circus in the road across from phil bonds tattoists! :)

thanks lol! glad I wasnt the only one!

Weclome back! and most importantly good luck for the lighter week ahead :)

1st day honk!!! :D

Add A Meal :)

Thank you for clarifying for me! I dunno where I saw 200! must be making it up as I go along! haha!

Well thats a coincidence because so am I :D

It can be so hard to get out of that mindset. but you dooing great :)

Sorry I just realised how rude my posts sounded! it wasnt meant to sound so harsh. AAM week is only a couple hundred extra cals and tbh once your in ketosis its not really soley based on the cals you consume its more based on the fact you stay in ketosis. 200 cals a day for a week 7x 200 =...

Don't drop a pack. You wont get the vitamins and minerals you need. In your exante box it will of given you a leaflet telling you what you can have on AAM week.

Wow you ladies have more self control than me. I know if a slither of chicken passed my lips I would be a gonner! 3/4 of a lb is nothing! good luck for a lighter week ahead :-) Where abouts in devon are you from triage999?

oo choc orange bar sounds yum and also sounds like it will go down a treat especially after the jaffa cake craving! I ordered my packs but my mum had some left over from when she didi it earlier in the year and I snaffled those first and am eating those first, so cant wait to crack open my box...

Well 2lbs is great! be really proud! regardless of whether its water is still great! keep up the fantastic work! woot woot at only having 83lb left :D And yeah my day has been ok so far, little tired and lethargic and a light niggling headache in my temples but that is to be expected I guess...

Hi FF, I read through your diary and you know how to keep your self busy don't you! keep up the great work! :)

Haha! its great time to get all those things you have been putting off doing, done! and 6 little ones! sounds like they deffinatly going to keep you busy! i can't wait to start my own family! I'd love to have a big family, but do i trade having a big family for my sanity? haha!

Hi marley&me. Your first post really tugged at my heart strings there, sending a massive hug :bighug:. All those things that you wrote about that upset you regarding your weight and fitness can be changed. And your the one who is going to change them! and you taken the first step and you...

28/09/11 - Day1 Today has been a funny old day as had loads of plans to get lots of stuff done but unfourtunatly that didn't happen. With one thing or another just didnt get round to doing anything in the house as we are starting our own business so that soaked up loads of time today! I've...

Well, Hi everyone. I'm new to exante and minimins, and I started my journey today. Now I don't get very hungry during that day until 4ish so not going to plan on having any packs before then. Ive got alot of weight to lose but I'm not going to think about that now. Instead going to make...

I tend to find that when I'm changing my eating habits. I think its because I'm more focused and motviated and organised. My house needs a massive clean out, as over the months (we only live in a 1 bed place) we seem to collect all sorts of stuff that we dont need and as storage is tight it...

Hey everyone, Ive ordered my first set of packs, and they arrived this morning. I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks reading posts and threads, so hopefully I will be as successful as some of you :) I bought some boullion, peppermint tea and allowable flavoured water and am raring...
