    a new start

    Evening all ;) have to say that in my humble opinion this forum is as good as a counsellor .....if not better as it's here 24/7 for me...and I know that someone will respond. My LL group experience was nice as in the other people I met there and the whole 'all in the same boat' vibe was nice...

  8. peachesuk3

    new to exante.. any advice??

    the horrible taste (metallic?) sounds just like ketosis Ant.....ask someone to smell your breath and if they keel over you know it is for sure :p

    new to exante.. any advice??

    Hey! don't knock it.....being hungry just sucks :o you are just lucky and probably it is all the water filling your tummy up, but it doesn't mean it's not working, we are all just so different :party0049: I am currently suffering from the coldest feet IN THE UNIVERSE :( hot water bottle time :D

    Saturday Night wine craving

    I am very very fed up purely because this is the 2nd :party0036: free Saturday night and I MISS IT :( It's more the ritual than the actual taste but I am not a happy bunny right now :sigh:
  18. peachesuk3

    Milk

    That's so weird...skimmed milk has more carbs :eek: am disappointed though as I was looking forward to a splash in my coffee...also think maybe black coffee will stain my teeth more :rolleyes:

    new to exante.. any advice??

    Hello :party0011: and welcome! I add chilli powder and/or Garlic salt, with black and white pepper to all the soups and they taste 100% nicer. Also lots of ice to the shakes and whizz them in the smoothie maker. Watch the water intake though....like the other members have said, too much too...

    Hiya and well done :) I love reading other people's experiences. I haven't told anyone I am doing this and I understand why you haven't told your friend.

    any ex cd-ers about?

    Hi :) I only have LL to compare Exante with and I have to say Exante tastes way better! The veg soup has little veggie bits in and the bars are scrummy....even the Tomato soup is nice ;)

    Day 5 and not in ketosis?

    Hi Lisaberry, I am on Day 4 and not in ketosis either. I do remember though that when I was on lighterlife I was the last to get there and lost least weight each week so am thinking its maybe our metabolism :confused: I just think that even if I'm not burning fat...I certainly can't be...

    Tomato soup

    I did it! thanks to you guys, armed with chilli and garlic salt.......ignored the funny colour and actually got so hungry that I surprised myself :o Also have to consider that in the world of 'real food', Tomato soup is on my menu about once a year :p Have survived Day 4 and apart from...

    Ketosis - a question

    Just wondering why when I used a ketostix strip late last night it was pink (3rd square along) and after a long sleep this morning it is showing negative again?

    Health Question

    Thankyou A - I guess then that it may be coincidental and nothing to do with the lighter life plan? My husband manages to make a link anything that happens to me health wise to the diet and this one I didn't have an answer for ;) have a great day and thanks again x

    Health Question

    I have been on RTM for 3 weeks, before that 22 weeks in abstinence. I am a bit concerned as I have not had a period for 13 weeks. I get period type dull aches but nothing comes of them. I am quite pleased not to have had the bother every month and have been sterilised after my 3rd child so my...

    Now lost 53 inches in total!!!

    Wow! I think it's only when you see the actual 'gap' that you really appreciate what you have managed to do...maybe even more than the numbers on the scales. that is jaw-dropping! Good for you! x

    How much have you lost during RtM?

    I am on week 2 RTM and lost 3.5 lbs in week one. I do however have this little theory that whatever you do or don't do..takes a week to show up on the scales :rolleyes: so I won't be suprised to have gained or sts this week - think my body is in shock at actually getting food after 23 weeks and...

    How has your life changed? ... Is it really better being slimmer ... ?

    1. it is better to be slim I believe it has to be better from a nurse's perspective,just because of all the resulting health issues arising from obesity, the extra work that your poor old heart has to do just to get through the day, as well as all of your other internal organs not to mention...

    Newbie with a question

    Hi Maureen, I look at it like this.......I spend approx £81 per week on LL (savoury drinks,fruit water flavour and packs) Now thats a hell of a lot of Dosh to throw away if I break the diet isn't it? Imagine that packet of hula hoops with an £81 price tag? :eek: I had to invest in this...

    I'm soooo scarred any comments for a newcomer on to LL

    Hi Blenheimlady :) I have found that my LL group are more than just the other people who I may or may not see at a slimming class every Tuesday evening.

    Hi Corey :) That has got me thinking! I expected the trigger to be a particular type of food :doh: you know..one that starts the old binge process. I haven't thought about a situation or a particular person, so that's food for thought (pardon the pun :rolleyes: ) Take care and you were so...

    Hi there everyone :party0011:I am Day 62 on LL and 2 stones lighter (1 to go) This has been bugging me and I have to ask. Why, when we all know that you are your lightest first thing in the morning, are we weighed in the evening? I gain between 3 and 4 pounds during the day. What is my TRUE...
