Yes, I did start last Monday. How did your first week go?

Wow, you've done amazingly well so far Maka. I agree with you about losing the scales. I too have dug out the tapemeasure and put away the scales. Juddd is so liberating after a vlcd, hope you find it so too.

I have a set of Tanita body composition scales and used the composition mode on my first day of this WOE. My bf% was 36.4, lean body mass was 98.6lb , my visceral fat rating was 7 and my body age was 50. Checked again today and I'm now 32.4%, 100lb, 6, and, best of all, age 44! Very pleased...

Another pound off for me this week. Hope I can lose another 0.7lb minimum this coming week so I can see a 10 at the beginning on the next weigh in.

That's fantastic, well done.

Lost 2.9lb in my first week, hurray. Having followed a vlcd on and off for the last few years it feels great to be able to eat normally every other day. Will be measuring myself too when I find my tape measure, can't wait to see if I've lost inches too. Roll on the next week.

I've done a DD today (using up my leftover Exante shakes). I'm planning on DDS on Mon, Wed and Friday. I've taken my measurements today so that I don't just have to rely on the scales.

Hi there, well reached my goal 3 years ago, relaxed too much over the few months after, and have been trying to get back ever since. I lost the weight on Exante but I just don't seem to be able to stick to it for long again. Juddd seems like the answer so here I am. Look forward to getting to...

There's nothing 'wrong' with them, I just think it's a new formulation as the nutritional info is different too. I'm not sure how long it's been like this as I was using up shakes I bought last year bb end Jun 2012 and have only just got new ones. I think the banana is stronger too although...

Just started a new box of shakes today. Vanilla this morning tasted the same as usual but the strawberry one I had tonight....it tasted so artificial and strong. I've got so used to the bland taste of Exante and this was a shock to my tastebuds. Checked the nutritional info against an old one...

I'm in, would like to lose 10lb to get to healthy bmi.

Looks like I'll be holding off until September. Here's the reply from Exante. You should not be following any VLCD if you are giving blood. You need to ensure that you change to the Simple Solution (restricted calorie diet), at least two weeks before giving blood. The Simple...

I'd like to start giving blood again. I've donated 57 points but gave up when I started meds to get pregnant. Well, now that my childbearing is over and my youngest is now at school I'd like to donate more. Anyway, I was planning on doing ws for a number of days around th e appointment. Has...

Good luck. I'm restarting today too so I'll feel your pain, lol.

Welcome back and good luck.

I've lost 6.2lbs , a record first week for me, I'm very happy:-) . Did a WS day yesterday as my MIL came for a rare Sunday dinnerand I would prefer she doesn't know I'm on Exante. Don't think she noticed the lack of potatoes or Yorkshire puds on my plate!

Honk.

I'm glad I'm not the only one not to like them. The breakfast bar is ok but the others, yuk! Don't mind the odd Tesco one for a bit of a change.

Honking again, woohoo!

Honk

Honk for yesterday, hope to be back later to honk for today too.

That is fantastic, well done. If I get to the end of this week I'll consider it an achievement!!

I'll be on day 3 tomorrow and I have to have a filling. Any advice to make sure my breath itsn't too offputting? I tend to slip into ketosis on day 3 but rather hoping it will wait until Thursday!

Similar experience but I have managed to put it all back on (and more). Got down to 9st7lb a couple of summers ago and loved it so I'm determined to get back there before the summer arrives. Starting again tomorrow, doing TS first then planning on doing WS so I can up my exercise which I loved...

Sorry, completely ot but, my son had been handed a bag of franked mail but has never posted it before. I know where the local business mail box is but don't know if he should empty the bag or post the mail in the bag. He's only just started so does n't want to have to wrong his boss. TIA.

Well I've had a bad couple of days, I can't stop eating crap aargh..... Still keeping on with the exercise and quite enjoying it. Must get my eating reined in again if I want to see the losses on the scales.

Still here, putting in the effort to be slim by summer. In an effort to boost my losses and tone up at the same time I've bought EA active 2 for the wii. I've done 2 workouts and my muscles are killing me, but never mind, I'll soldier on. There's a 9 week program exercising 4 days a week so only...

Thanks, I have now joined. Don't think I'll be catching up with you anytime soon though! I must admit I think it's fantastic value with everything you get. I missed the £7 Morrisons offer but I managed to get it for £7.99 and free postage from an Ebay shop. Only problem I have this morning is I...

I know I read a thread on here which encouraged me to buy this for the wii. It came yesterday and I've done 2 workouts from the 9 week challenge and boy, can I tell! Anyway, I thought I'd join the minimins online group to keep me motivated but I can't find the thread with the group name and pw...

Scrub that, just realised I've lost 4.6lb not 1.6lb as I thought! Feeling much better now.

Diet chef food is delivered in packs. They provide 800 calories which you supplement up to 1200 cals using rice, pasta, veg, fruit, yogurt etc.

Down to 11st 7lb, bit disappointed but not giving up. Hoping for more next week.

Hi, can I sneak in? Name: Dee Age:47 Current Weight:165.8 Goal Weight:133 Mini Goals:Get under 11st Motivation:My size 10 summer wardrobe Strong Points:? Weaknesses:*Chocolate, boredom snacking Wii Fit/Kindle:I'm lucky enough to have both. Trying to do 30 minutes every weekday on the...

I'm cooking for my 5 kids and hubby. Personally I don't have any problems, I cook theirs, serve it up, then microwave mine, adding veg that I've done for them. By the time I get to the table they've finally sat down and we can all eat together. I find it easy really, so long as I resist picking...

Well I've got a cupboard full of Diet Chef and Exante products. I've tried to get back on the Exante train several times over the last few months without success so I've now decided its time for Diet Chef again. Diet Chef allows me to add 400 cals so I've decided that 200 of those will come...

I'm still trying. I'm doing ws this week before I go to New York next Monday. Going to miss the rest of the family like mad. I think you're all right, things will get better in January, we'll just have to keep the place 'lived in' until then.

A stone already, how does that feel. Well done, keep it up.

Thats fantastic, well done.

Well done, around halfway there already.

Wel done, that's great.

Fantastic list Pop Up, that would be a useful sticky for those considering Exante. If you do decide to do it, and I hope you do, I wish you every success :-)

Still going strong. Can't wait to get into my smaller clothes but I'm happy that my current ones now fit better. No more struggling to zip up my trousers, yay!

Lost 5.5lbs this week. Very happy, I've got a couple more weeks until I head to New York so I'm hoping my clothes are more comfortable by then.

Crikey, that's fantastic, well done.

I made what looked like a wonderful roast chicken dinner this evening for the family. So pleased to be able to report that not one single bit passed my lips. Woohoo, 4 completely 100% days, here's to day 5.

I know it's not recommended to drink tea and coffee but I always have. It might not sound nice but I put a couple of spoonfuls of whatever shake I'm having. Vanilla is very good but banana and strawberry are ok too. Like others have said, check out the sticky, it can really help with willpower...

I have rather a nice problem coming up the week before Christmas. A week in New York celebrating my friend's 50th. I plan to do an aam week before I go and plan on keeping it low carb whilst I'm away. Has anyone been? Is it possible? Whilst I'm at it, if anyone has been, have you got any...

Well done Sharon. It's too easy to think the odd meal doesn't matter. Congratulations on keeping strong.

Day 4 and feeling good. Can't wait for weigh in day. I need to get up earlier, must make sure I have time to walk the girls to school. I seem to have become lazy recently and am using the car too much, walking to school and back users up 5000 steps so I can exercise without even thinking. Come...

Day 2: Got through yesterday ok. Managed to stay strong whilst food shopping. Have done some exercise this morning and I'm now starving so can't wait for my shake. I 'mfeeling really positive, I must hang onto this feeling.........

House tidying and 30 minutes wii fit done, now onto shake 2. Feeling good that I've already resisted the open packet of biscuits I found in the living room. They are now firmly 'locked' away in the tin in the back of the cupboard.

Day 1 Well, my daughter is 4 years old and I now weigh more than I did just after she was born. I actually need to lose the same amount of weight my daughter now weighs, 33lbs. I'm starting again today and hoping to lose as much as I can before I go on my pre Christmas trip to New York. One...

Well done Gsq, that's brilliant. Now the hard work begins. Keep monitoring what you're eating and don't let, "just one won't hurt" enter your head, that's the reason I'm back here and I'm so disappointed with myself. Remember how good your success feels and keep it up. Good luck.

I'm 5'4" too and I'm aiming for 133lbs, I've reached that before and it felt right got me.

Good luck from a fellow returnee. You've taken a hugely positive step in trying again, NOW STICK WITH IT (think that was a message to myself really, toast for lunch is really not part of this diet plan!) Go for it girl.

1/ So I don't look like an anaemic whale amongst all those slim youngsters on the beach. 2/ so I don't have to buy baggy tops to hide my trouser overspill. 3/ I'm also rotating the same handful of outfits, I want to get back into my small clothes 4/ so I'm one of the Mums who isn't out of breath...

Welcome back. Don't beat yourself up, you're only human. And just remember, you've only failed if you stop trying. Good luck....

I'm glad you're sticking with it. I've been bingeing likea madwoman most of this year and have managed to put on 2stone in weight so now I'm back to lose it again. You're not alone. Come on, we can do it!!!

Yes, I think it is. I'm on day 2 TS and feeling a bit bloated myself. I reckon it will sort itself out over the next few days. Good luck, stick with it.

Doing great so far. Off for a bath now so I'm away from the fruit bowl, of all things. First target is 10st 13lb, here's hoping I hit that soon.

Oooh, can I jump on board. I'm off to New York in December and would love to have most of this off by then. Bring it on Danii - 20 lbs LED - 23lbs Mia - 38lbs MsJoJo - 30lb New Mum 1 - 28lb Precious - 28lbs Zion - 17lbs Nonni - 45lbs nursetubs - 33lbs TT Tessie - 35lbs Soon2B wii mii -28lbs

Wow!!! Half of that would be amazing for me. Well done, great motivation to continue.

Yes, I got down to 9st 7lb using Exante but returned to my bad habits. I know I can get down there again and really hope I can stay there. I'm off to New York mid December for a friend's 50th birthday so I'm hoping to lose a good chunk by then so I can buy a decent pair of jeans whilst I'm...

Well, I'm one of the 90odd percent of successful dieters who puts it all back on so I'm back to lose it all again. It took me 6 tries to stop smoking 25 years ago so I'm still hopeful that I can do it and keep it off. Day one again and keeping busy.......
