14 today :) hoping and praying and desperately pleading that the 13's will pop up in a few days lol. Desperate to see the 13's so I can drill my way through them and see a 12. For me to see a 12 I will be where I finished up on exante and I looked good then. Friend suggested to me I have...

Have been juddding very half heartedly. But todsy I'm at 14st1.5lb. Fingers crossed those 13's appear ASAP. Starting to feel a bit more motivated with it being April and summer looming xxxxxx

Well so far this week I have lost a further 2lb..... Seriously no idea how. On Tuesday I ate like I was aiming to gain. On one up day here is what I nailed..... this is a bit embarrassing but here goes Bowl of crunch nut and a pack of quavers 2 vege sausage rolls from the bakery. A snicker...

Down day today, this is going great, yeah by the end of a down day I'm ready to eat anything and all I can think of is food but I do think it's psychological because as soon as morning comes I find myself thinking hmmmm not actually that hungry. Im feeling slimmer, I'm definitely feeling more...

Mmmm salt and vinegar crisps! On a down day today, I'm not too bthered though as I had a pretty hefty up day yesterday. So today im on damage control lol. xxxx

Flabelos are the vibrating plates, google it and youll find all the info. Im finding them quite good. They have them in my local sunbed place xxxx

Absolutely! I've been reading up on it and a gain is quite common, simply because your belly is full of food and not 3x vlcd packs. The volume is drastically different. I'll weigh next Monday. The day after my weekend blow out then I'm going to 'try' stay off the scales for 2 weeks. I know...

It's brilliant isn't it. It's hard getting back on but when you know you'll get the results you want in such a short time it's worth it all :) Atkins is definitely calling my name! I'm nervous about the huge amount of calories but I know it works. Xxxx

Awww thankyou both :) its been an up n down journey but getting there. I've never felt better xxx

Hello :) Don't worry about the chicken! Probably the best thing you could of eaten! How's it going? xxx

Yesssss just realised I've only had one pack do far today so I can now indulge in two packs tonight. Oh the things that keep us happy in this diet. One lady who doesn't know I'm on exante said to me today 'don't look at it as a diet, look at it as a new way of eating for life' I thought HELL...

Oh and I've got a big fresh French stick in the kitchen for my little one to have with his bowl of homemade chicken stew..... Keep smelling it. I'm a bread junkie xxxx Bought a new top before but not sure about it might post a pic for opinions xxx

Awww baby massage sounds brill. I always wanted to do that. I'm back on 100%. Grim lol but well worth it. Gonna pop the shop in a min for some zero drinks to keep me going tonight. Did you meet any other mummy's? xxxx

Hello beautiful, I'm having a 100% day. Had a 1lb gain this morning lol ooops, probably water from all the salt but I know it'll come off so gonna be 100% now for the weekend. Yawn! This time next week I'll be off plan for 2 whole days & night. Yippeee. It'll set me back but knowing it'll only...

Had quorn pieces cooked in water and curry powder. Sounds grim but it was really nice. About 150 cals. Wish I didn't have to do it but I was eyeing up the sweet cupboard, the crisps and the big bowl of tuna pasta hubby made earlier! Had no meat defrosted or no tins of tuna and didn't want...

Turned today into a ws day. I've got a throbbing headache and I'm starving. Sod it xx

Well done love. Im on exante, lost 2 stone 10lb in 8 weeks xxx

Well done. That's a brill loss xx

Thanks triage. You're right there. I will weigh in on the Monday morning and then 2 weeks from then. I can't wait to come of exante now. Its served it's purpose and I need some real food. It's reassuring seeing that people are continuing to lose after VLCD :) thankyou for your reply xxx

Hello beautiful. I admire you for hitting exante again! I'll be honest I can't wait to come off it now and get into eating normal food. xxx

Haha, yeah I can't wait to start cooking! Xxx How are you Alana? I'm ok, still plodding on :) Just made a vege soup with curry powder and threw some mushrooms in. Was like a mushroom curry (sort of) was really nice. I want Atkins NOW! xxxx

Omg yes please! Pure food porn! I'm gonna buy a book to put all these recipes in. Hubby would love that too. Is quorn Atkins friendly? xx

Sounds amazing! Thankyou so much xxxx

What you cooking him for tea? here come the questions ;) xx

I drank too when I had my weekend off plan but I ate lots too. I'd either plan to have the night off so you're not beating yourself up about it if you think you're going to fall off the wagon. Or promise yourself you'll stick to it and mean it. Personally I'd plan to have the night off and...

Oh that would be brilliant thankyou :) I've got a freezer load of meat & fish as hubby has quite a healthy diet. I keep opening it and just looking at it longingly, I even winked at it and said 'I'll be seeing you soon' hubby thinks I'm losing it. Are peanuts low carb? Must look into that! xxxx

I'm afraid I agree. You have to have all the packs or else your body will not know what's hit it. xxxx

Porridge cookies made with cinnamon.... Delish

Lunch is served.... Black coffee & cinnamon cookies. Cookies looked a bit messy but I couldn't be bothered rounding them

I add coffee to all the shakes, I have my coffee mega strong so it always overpowers the taste of the shakes. The only thing I eat without customising is are the bars. The soups get laced with pepper or curry powder and the porridge with cinnamon. You're doing really well xxxx

Haha actually come to think of it I didn't sleep very well. Mystery solved! xx

Thankyou for your replies. Seems a bit daunting going from 600 calories (sometimes a tad more as I've been eating chicken & eggs) to eating lots of calories. Seems a bit too good to be true! I'm definitely coming over. I started exante 8 weeks ago for an important weekend that starts next...

Absolutely brilliant! Well done xxxx

Hello :) hope you are feeling better and got a decent sleep. Totally sympathise about the snoring. Absolutely hate it. Makes me really angry lol xxx

Oh and I drank 5 cans of coke zero last night. I'm an animal xx

Hello lovely. Welcome back. That gain is amazing how lucky are you? Were you watching your carbs? xx

Hello :) you haven't put on a pound. Don't worry it will not be a real pound. It's probably something stupid like water. I did it once. I'd not lost for days, by day 4 was up 1 lb. by day 7 I'd lost 4. Our bodies aren't used to being given such a small calorie allowance. I weighed 13.2 on...

Wish my thighs were that smooth xx

Yeah absolutely! I don't think I'd leave the exante board lol. I love it here. Here's my virtual model transformation- there's no way I'm this skinny though!

I need to do alot of research and meal/menu planning before I hit Atkins. I need the book too, I used to have it but think I gave it away. I'll stick with this bloody VLCD till next Thursday. I'll totally blow it next weekend (because I deserve it) haha then I'll start Atkins. This gives me...

Haha carb police. You do realise I'll be hounding you if I do go Atkins. A week Friday is the big date I've been aiming for. I so so so don't want a gain before then! I'd be mortified! Atkins is so much more easy to do than exante, and so much more sociable and my hair might improve :) :) I...

Currently following exante but the hair loss is distressing me so thinking of Atkins. Can anybody offer any advice? I'd be most grateful. Do I throw myself straight into full induction? Dreading a gain in my first week x

Right ladies. I think I'm leaving exante. My hair is falling out thick and fast and it's really worrying me, it's fine anyway and I'm finding it distressing. Hubby can't see it but he's clueless anyway. Just held the mirror to the back of my head and it's starting to get noticeable :( I'm...

Hahaha nahhh hardly given it any thought xx

Good choice of food just make sure you have all your packs as they are vital to give you your nutrients xx

Haha think I'm gonna have to get some! Had a lovely chicken breast for lunch followed by porridge cinnamon cookies :) just having a cinnamon latte now. Why oh why haven't I discovered cinnamon sooner?! It makes everything wonderful. The nurse was shocked at my weight loss. Was 16.3 last time...

Wow well done on the loss :) you sound so motivated. I love it! There's no better feeling than seeing those pounds drop and your body changing shape. It becomes quite addictive xxxx

Would you consider WS? xxx

What sort of muppet takes two dulcolax when they have a doctors appointment the following morning?! I'll have buns of steel by the time I leave here! Sitting in the waiting room clenching. Tmi? Sorry ladies! The more constipated I get the more I seem to be talking about it. Haha. Was going to go...

Update Well 10 days to go and I'm down 2 stone 11 lbs nearly in those 12's xxxxx

It can be done! xxxx

Yayyyy glad to have you back lovely Sorry you're still suffering with migraines though :( xxxx

Well done on the loss! That's brilliant xxxx

No I'm using up my exante till I get to 12 something then heading onto Atkins where I can eat eat eat, bloody hell I'm so excited! Looking forward to induction and everything. Fish, chicken, steaks, butter! cheese, mayo, that delicious focaccia bread! Curries with cauli rice, roast lamb, BBQ's ...

Loving the sound of the fish! I think I'm gonna be ok low carbing eating things like that. It's soooo so so nice being on a forum where you're not told off by other posters for losing weight too fast lol, I read so many where your constantly reminded 1-2 lb a week and no more is the healthy...

Just had the most delicious cinnamon porridge cookies with a cinnamon vanilla latte. I had two poached eggs this morning. I'm still losing hair so I think I need those few extra calories. I'll deal with the hair loss after the weightloss. I know it will come back and hopefully in better...

Omg it look heavenly! I can't wait to try this out! Thankyou lovely xxxx Please feel free to share anymore of your low carb knowledge;) xxxx

Wow! That's brilliant. I want to lose 5 inches from my waist lol. Don't worry about the egg, it won't have much of an effect. Great choice of food too :) low carb & low cal xxxx

Good choices :) you're very disciplined. I love Italian and it's rare I go to one and don't order carbonara and tons of bread lol xxxx

Thankyou :) honestly don't think I'd of done it without minimins support. It's helped me so much. Had a little wi today and I'm 13.2 :) :) :) hoping to see a 12 by the end of this week. Can't believe I'm going to be 12 stone something. I'm finding I'm becoming obsessed with bmi. Never ever...

Those needles sound nasty :( What's the focaccia recipe? I'm doing lots of low carb research. Can't wait to get onto atkins! I think a sun/mon weigh in is good for me too because it keeps me on the straight and narrow over the weekend xxxx

Week 2 seems to be renowned for a slower loss if you've had a big one the first week. Next week should show more :) but 15lb in 2 weeks is amazing. What other diet gives these sort of results xxxx

Thanks ladies. I still can't quite believe it. It's crazy! xxx

I think it's a personal choice. I haven't stopped exercising however this diet can hit you quite hard so try take it easy at first and build it up. Listen to your body and when you feel it's too much stop. Good luck lovely :) xxx

I started weighing in at 15.11 on march 21st so I will of been doing this 8 weeks on weds and since then I've lost 2 stone 8lbs. This includes a weekend off plan where I went way overboard and gained about 8lbs in a weekend! I did lose it the following week. Also I have been adding bits if...

Wow well done! That's brill xxxx

Hello & thankyou :) last year I was just healthy eating, cutting down etc and I joined minimins on 3rd jan this year weighing 18.1, I got down to 15.11 doing slimming world and on exante I've gone from 15.11 to 13.3 in just under 8 weeks! So I have about 6/7 pounds to lose and so far this year I...

Woooohooooo you lost the 9lbs!!! Great loss LK! Really quite incredible! Well done :) xxx

Thanks LK. Might treat myself to a tin of tuna tonight :) I'm really enjoying adding real food to my diet, and I've lost 4lb this week so it's not having an effect on that either :) I'm definitely going to add cinnamon to my biscuits. I add black pepper to all savoury, I love so much of it it...

Hello, I'm doing exante. Take a look at the website and have a read through the exante section. Obviously with ANY plan if you go back to your old eating habits you'll gain the weight back. That's not just true of VLCD! xxxx

Thankyou for the reply. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one! When I started my new lifestyle at 21 stone I thought I'd be happy at 16 stone, then I got there and kept setting new targets. Today at 13.4 I'm actually feeling quite comfortable. I really want to see the 12's. That will be a...

I'm going to a summer festival and my treat if they'll fit round my huge legs is a pair of designer wellies :)

I made the porridge cookies and loved them! Will cook for longer next time but were quite gooey like flapjack! Really enjoyed them :) thankyou so much for the idea xxxx

My reason for asking this is I never have done. As you can see from my stats, my bmi has reduced alot, my main goal is to get down to around 160lbs which I think is a bmi of around 26, so still overweight. Right now I've a bmi of 31. Obese! However although I still want to be slimmer and...

Thankyou my lovelies :) the biscuits are nice. Bit bland but I see people have been adding cinnamon do may try that next time. Thankyou for your comments about those chavs. I really hope they have got small willies lol :) :) Been 100% the dulcolax really worked which made me feel better...

Hello lovely :) the beef curry sounds amazing. It's not even 10am, I'm still lying in bed drooling over a beef curry lol. When you gonna wi next? xxx

Hello :) keeping my fingers crossed for you for wi tomorrow. Hope you're having a good day over in AD. :) xxxx

Hello lovely. Hope you have a fab night. Just out of curiosity what do you drink when you're Out I've been asked to the pub tonight and not sure what to say, I really fancy it though. Hope you have a great day xxxxx

Hello lovely. What week are you on now? TOTM. If you can then try to just weigh in once a week. One week I hadnt lost anything for days then lost 3lb over night lol. No idea how but it happened :) xxxxxx

Keep posting lovely. Even if it's all night. That's what your diary is for. Use it to your advantage xxxxxx

Hello, found your diary! When I started I was 18.1, you sound so motivated and 'in the zone' which is brilliant. I wish you all the luck in the world! You done well to bin those cakes ;) xxxx

Hello :) I started minimins on 3rd jan weighing 18.1 and today weigh 13.5 donuts definitely doable. Been on exante TS with a weekend totally off plan and a few days of adding a few eggs or chicken for just over 7 weeks and I'm down 2 stone 6lbs :) You'll do it just keep posting here and...

Just had 2 very delicious poached eggs with lots of pepper :) would of been nicer on hot buttered toast with brown sauce lol but still yummy xxx

Probably should of left them in for longer but they were lovely anyway xxx

Thankyou lovely :) I think I was having an emotional day lol cos if they said it to me now I'd tell them to F OFF lol. Classy eh ;) Just put some porridge biscuits in the oven.... Fingers crossed they turn out ok. I'll be posting an after pic in a bit lol. xx

I'm off on my hols in June and I'm not dieting. I'll 'try' watch what I eat but no way am I dieting in a 5* all inclusive resort lol. I'll just tackle the gain when I return xxx

I love the things that this that happen along the way :) my thighs are forever chunky haha maybe there's hope for me one day. xxxx

Hello lovely :) the migraines sound awful :( I think ww is a good idea, you can carry on with that and know you've always got exante if you're feeling up to it again! xxx

5lbs is great! It'll drop off you :) when's next wi? xxx

Hello sue :) welcome I look forward to seeing your success xxxxx

Hello :) You'll do this. And you haven't undone all your hard work. Any gain will be mainly water so don't forget that and it'll drop off you xxx
