Hi Em how are you getting on? I am also struggling with the 'eat slowly' idea, that seems to the hardest habit to break! Oh and I just cannot join the clean plate club, seems I'd rather put less on my plate than leave anything! Only 11 weeks till the wedding I really need to step it up now so...

Hi Van how are you getting on? Like you I am on and off this constantly but luckily not gaining any weight just struggling to lose anymore as I'm now in my healthy weight range. The great thing is just how positive I feel even when I've been 'bad' I don't beat myself up anymore and I don't think...

Ok so I've started again even though I'm going away Thursday for a long weekend so won't be able to do it then! I really like that even with my hectic life I can always fit it in, it's dragging myself out of bed early before the kids are up that is the problem! Determined to get to level 2 soon xxx

Almost every day my lunch is leftovers from previous nights dinners- that is unheard of in this house trust me!! Plus I'm saving some cash yay!!! Xxx

Hi all, yay there are a few us here then!!! I couldn't tell you what day I'm on as it feels like I've had so many stumbles that I've restarted a million times. But then I feel so much healthier in general and so positive that my bad vibes towards food are slowly diminishing, I no longer punish...

as I couldn't move Friday and was so busy yesterday I've only just managed to do it for the 3rd time this morning. Going to do it at 6am each morning before work I think. I'm over the worst of the initial aches and pains I think (until level 2!). What size weights are everyone using? I think...

Ok so today should be day 5 of level one but

What a fool I am. You are right of course, I couldn't do my day 3 level 1 today, I can hardly walk. Did anyone else skip a day to start with? At what point do the pains go away? Pleeeeeease tell me they go away! X

Ok so today was day 1 of level 1, my legs were a bit shaky afterwards but I really enjoyed it and dare I say, didn't find it too difficult! Roll on tomorrow :-)

Hi, there's another thread just up the page which has all the details. I've only ordered the DVD today so I'm not sure but it seems to be a 30 day workout split over 3 levels, 20 mins a day. X

I've ordered this today so hopefully will turn up next week and I'll be joining you all! I have got 1.5 kilo weights is that all I need? Well done to you all you are inspiring me! X

Ok so just me then :(

Sorry about that my son grabbed the iPhone and posted before I had finished! As I was saying..... Emotional eating and bingeing are the problems that no diet has ever helped me overcome. I'm hoping with Paul's help that will all change. I'm hoping to lose 20lbs, which doesn't seem like much...

Hi everyone I really wanted to start a weight loss diary to keep me motivated, I'm getting married this July and have a size 10 dress to fit into! I am following the Paul McKenna 'I can make you thin' plan, which is not a diet but a lifestyle change. I'm only on day 4 now, weighed myself on...

Hi all, I've been following this for only 2 days but feeling really positive, I have felt so full so quickly it's amazing what our minds can do. I'm an emotional eater so this definitely the way to go for me. Can't wait to weigh myself in 12 days and see how I've done. Think I'm going to have...

Hi Shanny, thanks for asking, well I had a great first week up until last night, I went way over my points and pigged out! Weigh in day today and I've stayed the same. I'm really hoping for a BIG loss next week! I am feeling much more hungry on WW than I did on Exante! But enjoying eating normal...

Hello, I have just started WW after doing Exante for a month. In the 2 days since I've switched I've put on 6lbs :-( I'm hoping that will come back on while my body adjusts. X

Are you using your weeklies? X

Hi danii, yes I will post here so look out for me and good luck with Exante x

Oooh well I've been grumpy and moody since I restarted... 2 weeks now! X

I use half a pack of shake to 200mls water x

Thanks for your responses, I'm definitely going to give it a go xx

Hey Mia It seems there are so many of us that do this! I guess we just take things to extremes- this is not an easy diet and we work so hard at it and then back on the food binge like crazy. I wish I knew why or how to stop but as soon as I eat something I just gorge on complete rubbish, the...

Hello, Not sure if it's best to post here or on the exante board! Did anyone go on to WW after the Exante diet? I will run out of my packs in just under 2 weeks and want to be prepared to go straight on to healthy eating so that I don't pile all the weight back on (like I did over Xmas!). I...

Yes I've done that, it obviously has less flavour but I always have a sweetner so it's still a hot creamy drink just thinner consistency, I do this on days I am struggling and it really helps. X

I'm just having a mint hot choc- peppermint tea mixed with choc shake, and it's sooooooooooo nice x

I'm just having a mint hit choc at the moment (peppermint tea mixed with choc shake) it's lush x good luck x

I would also definately recommend making the shakes hot... Especially the chocolate, with some sweeteners it's almost as good as the real thing! I only ever had one shake cold and it was pretty bad. I'm on 2 hot choc shakes and 1 tesco bar a day (can't stand the exante bars). It's all about...

Hi Bella, how are you feeling? I have the same situation with the honeymoon, it's just not looking possible for us at all. We're not even having our wedding night in a hotel, we're staying at home. We don't mind too much though. Times are hard financially for everyone but the most important...

Hey there, I know the feeling, I'm going away in May with lots of my friends who are all perfect bodied goddesses, I am dreading it in a way, even when I'm thinner I'll still have the cellulite & stretch marks :-( but wow Jamaica I am so jealous that will be amazing!

Another one here on the wedding dress diet! Big day is July, dress is a size 10 and I'm currently a size 14 so I've got a bit to shift. I lost 16lbs in 4 weeks on exante before Xmas but I put it all back on over Xmas :-( hope I can do it properly this time! X

That cake would last 5 minutes and then after eating it you would feel horrible trust me...... A minute of the taste of chocolate in your mouth is not worth the feeling of depression that comes after cheating on a diet. In my humble opinion anyway :-) You can do it!! When is the big day? I've...

Good luck with your start on Friday. Try to eat low carb until then and try to get into the habit of drinking lots of water. Seeing the scales come down is what spurs me on- have you thought about purchasing scales that will show your weight, I'm sure they must be available but not sure on the...

That's brilliant well done, being in that frame of mind is the only way it works for me. X

Well done you I had similar happen over xmas can't wait to get it back off x

Just write off today, eat healthy normal food until the packs arrive xx don't let those demons get inside your head it's only a tiny setback x

Think I will be ordering myself some!

Good lucky Kelly, I am on day 2 looking forward to seeing results soon!

I am restarting now too, having put back on a whopping 13lb of the 16 I lost in Nov/Dec. Good luck everyone I am hoping for 14lbs off. Midnight-sparkles - 12lbs Kenshin112 - 28lb Antiefeva - 10lb Stephie77 - 14lb Shrinkingannie - 16lbs time2go - 16lbs blue butterfly - 21lbs nursetubs - 14lbs...

Did you restart yesterday atomic? Things have gone from bad to worse with me, aam week has turned into binge week. Only 7 days ago I was doing so well and now back to feeling sick bloated and fat. No idea what to do now tbh. :-(

Just sneaking back in to win....

I want to be the winner.......

To be honest I think it is probably best to start when you can give it a real proper go without breaks. I think starting now then having Xmas off will make it harder for you to get back on it. I'm only speaking for myself how I know I am of course, you may be stronger than me! Good luck x

Good for you, what a success story. Well done x

1lb is still good, keep going you will probably have a big one next week x

Well done x

Wow that's amazing, well done you x

Congratulations, I am so impressed with your stats. Your attitude is great too, what an inspiration x

Wow.... Your stats are pretty impressive! Well done! X

Well done you that's brilliant that you've still lost some after having a big meal. I've got my work Xmas do on Thursday, I hope you can follow your lead! X

Hi atomic how did you get on today, back on track? I'm on my add a meal week and I've just had some chocs :-( the guilt is horrid isn't it x

See I'm at 3+6 and still feel lightheaded at least once a day. Should I be drinking more water? I do struggle..,,,

Well done babyonion! X

That five pounds will come off no problem. The dillydallying is probably down to it being an extremely hard time of year to diet. Don't give up, treat yourself over Xmas a little then full steam ahead for January x

How has your first week been xx

Hey moonbeams, I nearly did this yesterday! Don't know what I would have done! How did you get on? I had a course one weekend where they put loads of food on, I had my Exante bar but was gagging as I tried to eat it (have since switched to the tesco bars) so I had a few mouthfuls of smoked...

Thanks guys, feeling much better today thanks. I think I haven't been drinking enough water, so will make sure I do 3L at least tomorrow. My OH lasted 5 days, lost 12 pounds (which has taken me 3 weeks to lose- MEN!!) and then decided to not bother till after Xmas. He was really struggling, I...

Don't be too hard on yourself Kirsty, it's easily done. Nothing stopping you from starting new tomorrow. Have you got any more nights out planned? December is such a tough month for dieting. X

Welcome Tumpty! Are you doing total solution? Lots of luck xx

Thanks peeps.......... Feeling a bit pooh now though as I've just weighed myself and have only lost 2lb in the last week. It doesn't feel like the sacrifices are worth it when I could have lost that in a week doing WW!

Hi Fluffy Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am jumping boards here (hope that's ok??) as I'm trying to lose weight at the moment. But I've had 2 babies and struggled with weight with both pregnancies so thought I'd respond. With my first I put on 4 stone, and with my second I promised...

Well done for getting through day 1 Kirsty. The chocolate shake made up hot is lovely. X

I couldn't handle the bars either and quit them on day 12! However I am loving the tesco ultraslim chocolate bars I bought four boxes today ?

Oooh sounds fab thanks for that..... Do you use garlic powder? X

Thanks so much you are all lovely. This must be the first forum I've been on where there's no b*tching! Just loads of support. Xx

Hey babymum how are you getting on x

Hi all, just wanted to share my fab news with you all! I've been doing TS for 2 weeks and just weighed myself for the first time, I've lost 10lbs! I now weigh 10 stone 11! I haven't been in the tens for years! Loving this diet (apart from the bars YUCK), even hubby is impressed and has decided...

Hi Babymum! It was actually this forum that gave me the inspiration to start! So many fantastic stories and tips on here. Have you ever done different diets? I used to be on WW but found weight loss too slow. However I did lose 3 stone on it before I fell off the wagon. In my mind I thought...

Hey atomic, I start week 2 today, can't believe I have managed a whole week on TS! It has nearly killed me mind. You've shown amazing willpower so be very proud of yourself. I too have stared longingly at my kids left over fish fingers and baked beans, I think we must all do it! Last night I...

Hope you had a nice time at the cinema- did you see Breaking Dawn by any chance? I'm going to see it next Friday, I can't wait! Well I feel quite good today, had half a choc shake for breakfast, toffee bar for lunch, Thai soup for dinner and now just enjoying the other half of the choc shake...

Well it certainly isn't feeling easier on day 5............... I just cannot get through the water or my bar, its almost like when I'm ill and can't face food. Plus I woke about 3am and couldn't get back to sleep! I can feel my strength crumbling a little bit........ I can feel I have lost a...

Hey Lux, I am on day 4 and feeling a bit rubbish. But it hasn't been too bad to be honest. I can tell I have lost weight already. Are you also doing TS? Good luck for the next few days xx

How are you today Skinny? I am feeling really poo........ feel achy and tired! Vanilla milkshake this morning was ok, I put some cinnamon in and it tasted better. Toffee bar for lunch, still not great! I can feel I have lost weight already though. I'm having the dreaded tomato and basil soup...

Sorry to hear you're having a bad day.... I'm also struggling today. Maybe because I'm off work and its harder to stick to at home. I'm also struggling to get through the water today so have a bit more of a headache. I'm determined to stick it through though- I started this for a reason...

Hey Skinny how are you feeling today? What meals have you got planned for WS? I know that eventually I will need to go on to it, I'm just worried that I would over indulge with the food. I had the hot chocolate shake this morning which was lovely and the chocolate orange bar for lunch which...

Hey Skinny! I am 5ft 4. Had the vegetable soup tonight it was quite tasty compared to the others! My BMI is 27.7 so TS it is for me. I am feeling so bloated too, not hungry at all at the moment! I'm wondering how many visits to the loo I will make during the night......... Might try the...

Hey Skinny, I am also a newbie and started today! We are almost the same weight too- I am 11 stone 7. I had the banana shake for breakfast, wasn't nice at all and now trying to make my way through the toffee nut bar- thought I would like it but it really isn't nice. The only thing I am...
