wow I love bouillon!! I found it in tesco and have had 2 cups so far. It is just what I needed to give my tastebuds a change. I did have a slight mishap though.... on the way home I clipped my gatepost and pulled the number plate off the front of my car!!! oops! Tried to superglue it back...

I completely agree, he so doesn't deserve you. But even more importantly well done on sticking to ts while dealing with it. If you can stick to the diet after news like that it means you can deal with emotions without the biscuit tin for the rest of your life. Good luck, I hope he gets what he...

hi, I'm a newbie to exante (so hopefully someone more experienced will be around soon ) but not to dieting in general. The only thing I could think is have you done your aam week? It could be that your metabolism needs a boost after a few weeks on such a low calorie diet??

hi conor just found your diary. You are doing so well. good luck with your days away I look forward to your weigh in, am excited for you!

omg irishlass your losses are just incredible! you are such inspiration. I'm on day 3 and would just love to lose it as quickly as you! Good luck with the rest of your exante journey

Hi all I can't believe we are half way through day 3...... this means only 41/2 days until weigh in!!!! I can't wait to find out how much I've lost. I think this diet would be impossible without the massive weight losses and the thought of getting on the scales and losing as much weight in a...

Hows everyone doing today? I'm feeling a bit better today, about to venture out for bouillion, is it really bad that I am majorly excited about this????? I can't wait for a new flavour to drink!! I'm also dying to order some soups but I won't be here if they deliver tomorrow so am going to...

How are you getting on today? I'm about to venture out for bouillion and maybe some tesco bars if I can find them. It's day 3 and is much much easier than day 1. Still a bit peckish but I think my brain is catching on to the fact that I am not going to eat!!!!

I'm still 100% too, on day 3 now woo hoo!!!!

Thanks celtic tiger. I think feeling a bit rubbish is actually helping. I knew I'd feel ill this week anyway because I went to a bonfire party on saturday so in a way it is easier to be ill with me and the start of the diet at the same time. If I'd started when I was having a good day I think...

Day 3 begins. I'm still 100% yay! I feel a bit hungover but the hunger pangs are much much less today. I still feel empty and a bit bored of having the same things every day but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I'm going to order a mixed bumper pack next so I have lots of things to try and have...

So day 2 is over and I'm about to head up to bed. I spent the majority of the day in bed and got up around 7pm. I spent the day trying to read, looking on here and being guarded by my puppy dog! She's not a puppy she's a 2 yr old lab but she thinks she's a baby and wants to be next to me all...

hi maybabe - thanks, I'm so excited for mondays weigh in. I'm going to try and stay off the scales so it is a surprise but I am a really bad serial weigher. I might ask my boyfriend to remove the scales and see if he can find a hiding place I can't find! how has everyone found this...

thanks. today has gone fine, feel a bit hungry but it goes after a few minutes. I think it's more like remembered hunger if that makes sense? Roll on day 3 I can't wait!

Well done for day 1 ellie, here's to day 2 and slimville!!! Def going to try the soup, it sounds lovely with your added bits in

Well done on the first day. I think it's the hardest hurdle to get over. Good luck for day 2

Kartergirl - I'm so pleased for you about the jeans, think you will def be in the dress for saturday if today is anything to go by. I've still not done my measurements, I didn't get out of bed until 7pm so I may try to do them tomorrow depending on how I feel. Today has been strange. I feel...

I love cats - thanks for that will definitely be looking for bouillion tomorrow. I type as I talk too, think thats what makes my posts so long!!

Thanks. Tbh I couldn't have done it without this site! If I thought it would feel like this forever I don't think I would carry on but I know from reading everyone elses stories that it will get much easier. Also I think Id built it up in my head to be horrific for the first few days that...

Day 2 is nearly over. So far today I've had 2 shakes, lots of water and a can of coke zero. I've been in bed all day which has helped a bit with not being near food but today has been v v boring! I've tried to read and knit but mostly dozed with the dog lying on my feet! The hunger pangs...

I started yesterday and it is already much easier today. I'm finding hot drinks much more filling than cold and also drinking my glasses of water in 1 go seems to fill my belly better than little sips if that makes sense? Someone recommended bouillion which I'm going to give a try tomorrow...

Thought I'd stick my beak in too - I got a shaker bottle like people use at the gym for protein shakes ( in the sale for £2). It takes about 15 seconds of shaking to mix it all up and then you can drink straight from the cup. It's much easier than using a blender every time

Wow kartergirl was that 2 inches in a day??!!!!!! That's increible well done! I couldn't do my measurements yesterday because I only had a baby size tape measure which wouldn't go round me lol! I'm considering if I can get up later using string or something and then I can measure that! How...

Ps. Sorry all my posts seemto be essays at the moment, I think it's because I'm home alone and got no one else to bore!! :-)

Thanks ilovecats. I was amazed this morning and it definitely has kept me motivated for today. My sister has a theory that whether it's water or fat that was your bodies weight so you still are smaller overall. I agree but know that the water would come back if I was to stop. I've seen a few...

Ok so I thought I'd start a diary to help keep me on track on my journey to slimville for my 30th next august. I've been overweight for years and wasn't bothered by it as my weigh was stable until I got me/cfs and within 2 months had gained 2 stone. I realised then that I couldn't eat high...

Hi maybabe how are you finding day 2 so far? I tried a hot choc shake yesterday because I was freezing but I definitely prefer them cold. I sneaked a look at the scales this morning and i've lost 5lbs!!!! I know it's water but in 1 day I am amazed. I just wish I'd started this diet years...

Thanks ff. Did you feel hungry for the first 4 days? I can't work out if I feel hungry or just empty if that makes sense? good luck with the rest of your week, I hope you have a fab weigh in too

Hi Charlie did you start today? How are you finding it so far?

Hi well done on day 3. I started yesterday so am a couple of days behind but am finding it easier than I expected. I thought I'd be wanting to eat the dog by now!! That's great idea about the flavourings. I only ordered the choc shakes but am thinking of getting the mixed bumper pack so I can...

Is it too late to join in? I started yesterday so have done 1 day. I plan to do 20 days 100% then have a few days off for my boyfriends birthday ( it's a surprise so I don't want to say what I have planned in case he sees this but I will have to eat as I have me/cfs so will need all the energy...

Omg omg omg I had a quick look at the scales this morning and ............I've lost 5lbs!!!! I know that will be water because when I decided to do exante I came off sw and had 4 days of eating what I liked and gained about 6lbs just from the change in diet. This would normally take me well...

So day 1 is over and I am completely overwhelmed that I finished it! It's been tough but not as bad as I had built it up to be in my head. I do feel pretty terrible but as I have me/cfs that's pretty much a daily occurence so I can't really blame it on the diet! I've had 3 shakes and around...

Kartergirl - I know what you mean. Tbh my boyfriend is really supportive and was quite happy to eat some weird and wonderful sw concoctions but he's a real foody and I almost feel like I'm depriving him of eating how he wants. Luckily he's not got a sweet tooth but is a major carb junkie...

Thanks jen. I love minimins although I've never joined I've been reading posts on here for months then more recently for the inspiration to start exante. I can't get over the weight losses people have! How have you found the first 4 days? I'm hungry but able to ignore it so far it just feels a...

I know what you mean about the family. I've recently lost 3 stone on sw and this has stopped the family nagging me too much because they can see how hard I'm trying but you can see them looking at me thinking 'you have so much further to go and I bet you give up by then'. I've got my boyfriends...

Hi maybabe I've started today too. I had choc shake for breakfast and it was ok just a bit cardboardy. Good luck maybe we can keep an eye on each other??

Hi yeah would be fab to have someone to give me a kick when I need it! I've been overweight my whole life except for a brief spell in my teens when I lost weight with sw and then went to work in a fast food restaurant and put double back on!!! I was diagnosed with me/cfs in dec last year and I...

wow that is a brilliant weight loss! I'm only on day 1 but so inspired!

Hi, I've started today and got lots of weight to go... over 8 stone!! I find water ok in the summer but in the winter it feels weird and cold! I've tried to mix up flavours today to make it more interesting so I've had peppermint tea, ice tea and sparkling water. I've had about 1.5 litres so...

Wow that's incredible! I have just started today and although I know I shouldn't I imagine I will be weighing myself tomorrow just for a peek!

Good luck. I've just started today but already so glad I have, just wish I'd done this years ago!! Maybe when you start we can keep each other on track?

Hi, I'm only on day 1 but my plan it to be 100% except for Xmas day when I will let myself have what I want but not go crazy. I'm hoping I will know more about hunger and when I actually NEED to eat instead of wanting to so should be able to limit the damage.

Hi all, today is the first day on exante ts. I've previously lost 3 stone on slimming world but it's taking too long. I have ME/cfs so find it difficult to lose weight due to lack of exercise and want to be thin for my 30th birthday next summer!! So far today I've had my first shake (...
