Hiya Folks! Awww Kate, you're most definitely not the weakest link. You had a big social thingy in week 2.....I'd have found it impossible to stick to TS too. I really hope you get right back into tomorrow. Your 1st stone off is just around the corner.....and more prominent cheek bones :)...

Aww, thanks Trickshot....much appreciated. Team G's support is the bestest :) Must be a great feeling to be chucking out the bigger clothes. I'm considering doing that tomorrow. I think I should now bite the bullet and drop down to the next size in my trousers.....I've discovered that safety...

Cheers, Quirky! You've had some fab losses too......stick in there :D Have a lovely Easter weekend too x

Morning :) Glad you found it, Trickshot! Maybe we could start an extended Team G (if Kate doesn't mind?!) :D How's your week been? Can you believe it's four weeks already?! Time's flying by...I like. You're very welcome, Frenchie.....sounds like you're raring to go. I love your incentive ;)

Thank-you, Kate....I'm very chuffed! I'll admit to almost falling off the wagon last night. I wandered around Tesco with a couple of things in my hand....and then I put them back and went home and had a shake. I'd had a bad day at work. Definitely a trigger for wanting to munch. But, I'm...

ps by my calculations Team G has lost 3st 4lbs thus far :wow:

4lbs off....and in the 12s. It is a Good Friday :D Have a great Easter weekend, all! x

Hiya Hippy chick......and welcome :) You sound very determined, so I'm sure you'll reach your target no bother. I've lost 20lbs in 5 weeks, so I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be well within your 3 month goal. Good luck...keep us posted x

Sorry, meant to say...Kate's thread....not sure this will work: http://www.minimins.com/exante-total-solution-100/311454-new-site-new-exante-just-ordered-months-supply.html I'll never abandon a TG-er! :)

Wow...fantastic, Trickshot :clap:....your losses have been glorious! Long may it continue! Have you noticed a difference in your clothes? I can see my jawline emerging again...I do have one..yay! Aw, I know, I really hope steveio is ok. I'm sure she'll be back in the team soon. Just...

Hello and welcome to the club.......hope your first week flies by! You'll do it this time :)

Jael, that's not bad at all...and like you said that wee 1lb will go very quickly. You seem to be really focused on getting back into it. I thought I would struggle, but this week's been ok. Yeah Kate, it would be ideal if we could just slink off to a retreat until it's all over, but we're...

Aww, hope you're ok, steveio......come back soon! Trickshot, pop over to Kate's thread if you're lonely :)

Fantastic result....good on ya :clap: It's such a great feeling to get down into the next stone bracket. I just wish I could skip the 12s and be in the 11s. You'll just have to wear your woolly knick-knacks for a while ha! I haven't tried the porridge and pasta....be interested to see what...

Hello :) Hmmmm, I don't think I'll be repeating it any time soon. It was more the vino that I really wanted! Still, no hangover on Sun :D Keeping busy is the trick....your house will be sparkling in no time! Hope you got through the weekend ok. Not long 'til your 1st weigh-in. Exciting! x

Morning! Kate, you're very brave making goodies in your first week. Oooft, that's willpower! Yeah, I struggled with my energy levels in weeks 1 & 2, but it's all good now. Haha, here's hoping for a Brucie Bonus rather than another Dusty Bin! Jael, you'll get there in no time :) Hopefully...

Trickshot, I'm not sure about mixing up the packs. Like you said, I would just watch for the cals.....anything less than 550 and your body will go into starvation. Maybe check the ingredients too for sugar etc. I'm sure S&S are very keto friendly though :)

Hey Kate, The first few days can be a killer, but they'll be a distant memory very soon! I just take a bar to work....and head off for a wee walk to eat it. I'm keeping my weight loss journey to myself this time....everyone's an expert and I can't be bothered listening :) I put 150ml and 4...

Nice result, Trickshot......well done! I stayed the same this week.....it was my food week, so I guess it was to be expected. Still, I only had 1 piece of protein and the rest was milk. Frustrating, but onwards and upwards!! Aw, steveio...you're not having a very good time of it at all. I...

Hiya Kate, How did day 1 go? Hope that's you in the zone now :) Week 4 for me....honestly, the time has flown by. Which is always good! I'm feeling almost human now, thanks. I think I picked up the lurgy from a skanky plane.....hope the germs leave you alone! I understand where you're...

PMS, sniffles and TS? Nasty. I bet like me you'll be glad to see the back of this week! Wow, you've been a busy lady. You must be chuffed with all your hard work....and exercise! I really need to make a start on my bedrooms. You can be my motivation :) I've got lots of white streaks in my...

Oucha steveio :( Hope the pain's more manageable now?! You poor thing...sending healing vibes to ya :vibes: I was going to have a wee moan about having the flu this week and how it seems to make being on TS twice as hard. But, I won't bother now haha How's this week been panning out for...

Cheers, Kate. The 1st week drags, but time's marching on now thankfully! I'm a former LL'er too. Totally my own fault for regaining my lardy bum, but you live and learn and I now realise that the maintenance part is equally as important as the abstinence part. I'm flu'd up at the...

You'll resist all that rubbish.....cos you're glorious, steveio :) Stick to the plan 100% and you'll soon see a big difference. Team G lost a whoppin' 10lbs this week...go us! Have a great weekend everyone x

Hey Kate.....welcome to the club :) You will absolutely prove him wrong! Hope your 1st week flies in. Just shout if you need any tips!

Well done, Trickshot. 3lb off for me :)

Hun, 2lbs off is a decent result! I remember some weeks losing a 1lb and some weeks staying the same. It's really hard not to get caught up in the weeklies, but the end result is what matters. Just think what the total will be in another 8 weeks....then 12 weeks :) Keep at it....you're doing...

I think about how proud I am of myself too for getting through another day. This is extreme and tough....and not everyone could do it. That in itself is a huge boost to keep going. I think about my health....I don't want to make myself ill. I think about being able to start the day without...

Hey girlies :) Down with the dreaded lurgy today.....and I forgot to take my bar to work for lunch. So, it's been a good day :cry: Haha, that's really funny that the two of you were bidding against each other....pack wars!! I watched the prog with the beef welly too...droooool. In fact...

Don't fret...it's only a wee blip. I have a near wobble on a daily basis! Could've been alot worse...and your guilt trip will spur you on I bet. Back on the horsey, Timotei lady! :hug99:

Thank-you Thank-you, Trickshot :D Great ice-lolly idea. I remember mixing up a soup pack and putting in the oven to make wee crisps. They were kinda yuk though, so scrapped that one! Hols just booked for the end of May. Incentive to keep at it! Back to the gym tomorrow and going to try...

I could wee for Jockland! Good exercise at work though....up and down stairs so many times. Good on ya, lass. You'll be buff by bells in no time!

Och, men always lose the beef quicker than us gals....well done him though. I honestly think that water is the trick....I try to get 3.5 litres down a day. It's a struggle sometimes, but seems to do the trick. Good luck with the bells.....my body hurts just thinking about !

My husband had to help me remove a deck chair from my butt last summer...stuck fast!! That is NEVER going to happen again. All these hopes will become a reality for us all. I just know it x

Aw, shucks, thanks. Don't hear that often ha! It'll be a 1lb every week now :)

Mmmmm, cinnamon in my coffee shake in the morning. Nice, gonna try some now!

I'll triple that....thanks so much for being around, ladies. It has helped me no end.....and you've got me to the bitter end. Unlucky :D Reiki sounds amazing, steveio. I'm defo going to have a bash at it soon. Stick with it....it sounds like it's doing you wonders! Weighed-in at 5.30am...

Weigh-in 2 tomorrow....bloomin' eck that's come around quick. Bring it on :)

Absolutely loved your story, steveio. I'm a believer....it definitely sounds as though what you're doing is meant to be. Your next phase....a happy one...and you deserve it. Oh, I know how low you can go because of weight issues....horrible, really horrible place to be. Fantastic to be...

Bravo, Trickshot. That's a fab start!!! :0clapper:Go you!! :party0049: Glory be to Team Gloriousness....21lbs off in a week!! :scale:

Someone actually told me yesterday that my cheeks were looking less chubby......I took it as a compliment (this one time :p)

Go steveio...and Mr steveio! That's fantastic :happy096: Totally totes amazebaws....and yer off!!!! Looking forward to hearing about Trickshot's first loss too. We should tote up the poundage lost between us all! It's only you who can see the 'edit sig' line ;)

Cheers, Trickshot. I'll give the nettles a bash! I think fennel's allowed..?

Hey steveio...welcome back...you were missed, luv!! Sounds like you're getting well into the groove with your packs. First week nearly over...yeeeeehaw :D Your hub should be fine with a wee bit of protein. I see there are some ketosis meal ideas on the Exante site which I'll be using...

I'm hanging! I just keep thinking...get to Friday...which will be day 14. Aw, thanks :) How was your day 5? Much better I hope? Woo-hoo, it'll soon be your first weigh-in!!

Won't be long until you're heading over to the States :) Hope the cafe experience wasn't too painful. My pangs went away afer day 4. They popped back for a visit yesterday, but the water and boullion helped. It's been a mixed week....and time seems to pass more slowly! My willpower is being...

Count me in too for 10lbs please, Harry! Good luck all x

Morning, Trickshot :) Hope you got all your supplies yesterday. Sounds like a busy week ahead! I was meant to paint my bedroom this weekend, but I didn't have the energy. Definitely soon though! Is nettle tea nice? Me too. I would just love to wake up and put something on without first...

Thanks TeamG!! It certainly makes yuk week 1 worth it. It's amazing how the loss has affected my BMI already. Can't wait to be healthy. Trickshot, you will do it no bother at all :) Yeah, keeping busy really helps! Really looking forward to hearing about your 1st weigh-in....exciting...

Was a wee bit fed up this afternoon, so I brought weigh-in forward by a day. 9lbs off in 7 days.....that'll do for me!!!! Right, that's me definitely in the zone now....next target is 1 stone! Hope everyone's doing well....and have a fab weekend! x

Hehe...my furball has turned into a fussy little pain in the butt. He's normally on the sachets, but he's been refusing them of late! I had a dream about a tuna sandwich last night....I blame you and your chat about T's sachets haha Eating in my sleep may be the way forward. Wowsers! You...

Morning, Trickshot, I bought the multi-pack flavourings. I find the peach one minging, but the orange and blackcurrant are quite nice. They contain inulin, so will help with fibre / the loo. I sprinkle a wee psyllium husk into my morning shake to help in that dept too. Sorry, it's probably...

Vod = vodka!

Coming atcha from the home office too :) I'm giving Curves a miss for 2 weeks and then I'll ease in again to it gently. 20 mins of walking per day is what Exante recommends. I didn't do much the last time....just the odd treadmill session and a walk at lunchtime. If you're 100% TS, you...

Team Gloriousness....love it!:girlpower: You're brave! My heightened sense of smell this week has been a nightmare!! Cooking smells have been torture.....and my husband and cat smell funny, so no change there haha Won't be long 'til we're all enjoying the summer...looking good....with a...

Haha....nah, I doubt you'll find any real fruit pieces in your shakes. The minerals gave me the heave-ho for the first few days.....obviously my tum is just not used to nutrients! Hope you get a decent kip soon x

Morning Trickshot :) Yay...hope your 1st day goes really well! I really like the strawb shakes.....125ml water...4 ice cubes...a wee sprinkle of sweetner. Pop in the blender....feels more like a mousse and I eat it with a spoon. Being a Scots lass, I believe that porridge can be eaten at any...

Glad day 1 went well for you, steveio! Oh how I will miss my vino! I stick to shakes and bars....I can't do the other packs at all. I half my bar and have it during the day at work....keeps me going to night shake. Bouillon is ok and certainly helps during the 1st week. I had a glass of Dr...

Just had a bottle of San Pellegrino mixed with the blackcurrant flavouring.....very nice....felt like a treat! x

Hope your first few days go really well, stevieo......we're all in for a nice wee surprise on next week's scales!! :) C x

Hiya, Yay...you're all ready to start! I could spare a hard copy booklet if you'd like it? Good luck with your first few days :) C x

Hey Sammyrose, Good to hear that you're a Curves gal too! Those are great stats. Just proves that if you put in the effort, you'll get great results :) I'm going to come off the Smart programme until I've finished with Exante....I'll just plod along at my own pace. I exercised alot the last...

Hiya Trickshot, Yes, Curves the gym. I find it friendly and relaxed.....30 mins and you're done. I'm starting to see definition in my bingo wings! Flavoured coffee is a great idea. I'll admit to putting a tiny splash of skimmed milk in my early morning coffee.....and I'm still in ketosis...

Hello again, It's the same for me, Trickshot. I'm keeping schtum this time. My weight was commented on on almost a daily basis the last time.....and of course when I regained the weight, I heard lots of I told you so. Grrrrr, I've never passed comment on anyone's appearance! I'll just...

Hello stevio & Trickshot, Well done to both of you for getting into the zone! My story mirrors both of yours. I am so sick of being overweight and I'm determined this time to get it off and keep it off! I could use some spurring on too if you don't mind?! I started yesterday...and I feel...

Hiya, I start on 24 Oct (after my hols). Well done to everyone....I'll be back for some much needed support (and vice versa)! C xx

Hey Lesley....I'm mew too :) How has your first week been? The first week can be a nightmare, so well done for getting through it! I'm a former LighterLifer (I lost 4 stone and I've regained 4 stone....all my own fault), so I'm getting back on it with Exante. I start on 24 Oct (after my...
