Weighed this morning 1 day late and I've lost 4lb! That is 16lb in 2 weeks 1 day! So so happy with that! Very motivated, loving diet chef x

So I should have weighed this morning but I totally forgot so I'll weigh in the morning and update on my progress, please fingers crossed for a good loss! I've got a night out planned for the beginning of July so would be so good to have lost a fair bit before then x

Weigh in today and I have gone from 19st 10lbs down to 18st 12lb! Very happy with that! 12lb loss!!! To be honest it doesn't really feel like a diet at tho mo, I'm hoping that will last! I'm 5ft 3in so being a short arse I should really be between 7st7-10st10lbs to be within the healthy range...

Still on DC, day 6 for me today! Going really well(touch wood) The food is lovely, not had one thing I don't like so far! Weigh in day tomorrow, I'm not expecting as big a loss as I got with Exante as this diet has more calories and carbs plus I know my weight loss is so much slower now than...

Day 2 Pecan & treacle granola ( lush!) Cream of tomato soup Takha Dahl Sour cream and chive pretzels Really enjoyed everything I ate today! Have to say food is sooooo much better than Exante, I know it's not the same type of diet although DC is low Cal the carb content is higher I believe...

Well today is my first day on diet chef, I have to say everything I have tried so far has been lovely. Today I've had Breakfast original granola Luch Sweet potato and coconut soup Dinner Chicken tikka snack Maple popcorn Very impressed with everything so far, feeling optimistic. Fingers...

Hi all, looks like I'll be talking to myself, doesn't seem like a lot of people are here lol I did Exante vlcd 3 years ago and lost a heap of weight, tried sooooooo many times to get back on it but after reading about a lady with a chemistry back ground saying she couldn't force herself to eat...

Right today I've had a mint choc shake, lush!, had sausage mix for dinner, I added some chilli flakes that too was lush! Going to flake out in front if the tv with a raspberry and white chocolate bar perfect ?

Day four! Wow well I'm feeling ok, not hungry at all x

Ok so dreaded 3rd day is here and surprisingly I feel ok, no cravings yet! I've just realised it's 1:40 and I haven't had a pack yet! I don't feel hungry at all, it's usually the little voice in my head that starts the cravings! Still drinking plenty of water, I have a little head ache but I...

So I have a confession, I like the blueberry pancakes!!! Yay!! I think I may have made a boo boo with the maple syrup one as I made just one large pancake, this time I split the mixture up and made around 6/7 little pancakes, much thinner and I didn't get that yucky consistency! Yay me! Lol So...

Oooooh I like the sausage! I mixed it with 40ml of water and put it in the fridge for 5mins I made it into little patties and fried them in my ceramic pan with 1cal spray, have to say it was really nice and surprisingly very filling! I can recommend them x

Well I made it through day 1 no problems, drank around 3ltrs of water. I didn't have a shake yesterday as I had planned but instead had a raspberry and white chocolate bar and had my shepards pie :-) I tend to get hungrier of an evening, my last stint on Exante I would have my first pack...

Lol it's funny how your tastes change once you've been on it a while! Lol I like the plain porridge, always found the apple one too sweet/tangy last time, who knows I could like it this time lol x

Think I maybe the only one but I'm in the 19's, 19st 6.8lbs starting today, hoping to meet the 18's soon! X

Ewwwwww ewwwwww ewwwwww just tried the maple syrup pancakes, yuk yuk yuk!! Smells ok when you open the packet, mixes well, cooks well as long as you have a great non stick pan, tastes ok but can't get my head around the consistency it's all a bit, well, ewwwwww! It feels like I'm eating...

Hi Lou! It's so hard to get back on track when your heart just isn't in it! I tried many times to get back on and failed, I'm hoping and praying this time I stick to it, I feel different this time, I feel like I did the first time I did Exante :-) I think before I was focusing on the fact...

Start day for me today, weighed in this morning at 19st 6.8lbs. Hoping to report a loss next Monday! Good luck to all x

Well day 1! Weighed this morning and I'm 19st 6.8lbs! Omg! How depressing! Well time to get the Exante show on the road, I'm going to try the Maple syrup pancakes this morning, we didn't have those available the last stint I did on Exante and when I saw them I was a little dubious but it had...

Aww Thankyou hunni :-) x

I all I'm back again! This is well and truly my last chance to lose the weight and keep it off! I'm currently in a tier3 weight management program and if I can't lose weight now and keep it off my only other option is weight loss surgery which I really don't want to have! I done Exante a few...

Lol oh I haven't done anything I'm just in a foul mood!!! I need to snap out of it, these cravings are driving me mad!!!! I'm not even hungry it's just my bloody brain telling me I want it!!! :-( I'm really miserable but I know it's for the greater good but you know them moments you could just...

Raaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!

I could have quite easily stuck a fork in and got munching lol I didn't realise I had so much will power!! Last time was so much easier, It didn't bother me in the slightest, I know I'll get there I just had to rant lol X

Aww thank you hunni, words of encouragement are priceless :-) x

Thank you hunni, need a kick up the bum!! Last time it didn't bother me but I just don't feel as strong as I did the first time if that makes sense? But I haven't caved lol x

SORRY RANT TIME!!! Omg cooking dinner for the hubby tonight was HELL!!! I actually felt like crying!! How terrible that food has this hold over me, now I'm fed up and craving like mad, i'm having constant battles in my head, one moment I can hear myself saying 'I can't do this' then the next I...

Well done on your loss Mark!! :-)

I know a lot of people poo poo them but I find them useful especially in the first week, I used a ketostix today and I am well in ketosis :-) I don't physically feel hungry at all it's just in my mind! Sugar is the most addictive substance I know and that is my nemesis!!!! I have the worlds...

Hi ya Mark, It's comforting to know I'm not the only one, I've just got the learn from before and remember how bad about myself I feel now so I won't let myself do it again, all that hard work, what a waste! Had a few moments earlier where I thought I was going to cave but I talked myself out...

Thank you hunni, here's hoping!! :-)

Arh well done Marge, it's awful trying to get back on you should be really proud of yourself I think most of us will have wobbles at some point, unfortunately life gets it the way sometimes, it's hard when you have special occasions and your not eating/drinking the main thing is getting straight...

Awww bless you I feel your pain but no point thinking if only we have to put a pin in it and move on :-) x

Hi ya Hun, yeah I'm sure we all 'think' we can do it again, it's blooming hard tho! If we fail we only have ourselves to blame, I could kick myself over and over for letting myself go back to how I was before but it's not going to get me anywhere other than battered and bruised!! ;-) Fingers...

I'm back!!! LoL After losing around 3st last year doing Exante I swapped onto slim and save and to be honest I think that was my major mistake!! Too much choice for me I knew where I was with Exante, I would have my Shake, Soup and bar and that was going really well! Once I went to slim and...

Can you please delete this thread?

Well done hunni that's fantastic! I had my 2nd weigh in today and I've lost 3lbs this week :-) x

Hello fellow sns'ers I just wanted to say well done to everyone and thank you for your encouragement x Whilst I was doing exante I drank as much coke zero and Dr pepper zero as I wanted ( sometimes 2-3litres a day! ) so I've just carried it over to sns. It hasn't effected my losses at all, I...

Hi ya, I noticed someone started a thread for Wednesday weighers so I thought I'd start this thread for those of us that weigh on a Monday to keep moral up as I find it hugely inspiring reading how much people have managed to lose. So please feel free to track you weekly weigh in's on this...

Well fellow sns'ers I had my first weigh in of my restart this morning and I've lost 14lbs! Whoop whoop 1 stone gone in a week!!!!!! So I'm now 14st 8lbs!!! So pleased!!! On to week 2 just hoping such a dramatic loss won't mean a sts this week! :-( x

Hi ya hun sorry I was offline but yesterday went good no slip ups stuck to drinking shed loads of water and dr pepper zero! Starting to take my hair, nails and skin vitamin today so far today I'm still going good, still in a good mindset! It's once that goes for me then I know I'm in trouble! I...

Hi ya Hunni, It's horrible when you get on them scales and the number just seems to get higher and higher :-( but at least we are getting back to it!!! I feel your pain ie children! I have five and I had four at home yesterday due to a sickness bug, still didn't stop them fighting!!!! They are...

Good luck to you too then hunni, once ketosis kicks in we will be good to go :fingerscrossed:

Thankyou hun have a feeling i'm going to need it! Your doing fantastic! :happy096:

Hello peeps! I'm back! I fell off the wagon in a major way i've had a 3 month break and now +22lbs I'm long overdue to ride the food replacement wagon once more! So today is my 8th wedding anniversary and in a little over 9 weeks i'm due to be bridesmaid for my best friend!!!! Mission bridesmaid...

Well people its my last day on this Exante forum I've decided to jump ship over to the slim and save forum, Thankyou to everyone for your support, if things don't work out between Mr S&S and I I maybe back ;-) wishing you all good luck on your weightloss journey, sure I'll pop back every now and...

Hello everyone! I was following Exante up until 2 weeks ago when I become very ill ( nothing to do with the diet ) and I had to come off plan. I'm now 100% ready to get back on the VLCD wagon! I've been hovering over the slim and save forum for the past two weeks and I've decided to swap from...

Hi ya hunni, well done for getting back to it! I too have had a major fall off :-( been off plan for two weeks and just basically ate what I fancied, I did try and limit myself and over all gained 2lbs but that 2lbs is enough to give me a good kick up the backside and get back on track. So now...

...

Thankyou hunni! x x

Right so had my weigh in this morning and I've gained 2lbs, very happy with that!! So I'm now 14st 1lb! Going to have a porridge, strawberry shake and veg soup today! Feel a bit relieved to be back, come on, I can do this!!!! Lol

Hello people I've had 2 weeks off plan due to illness and just not feeling in the right mind set, I'm starting Exante again tomorrow. I'm going to weigh in the morning to assess the 'damage' eek! Need to get back in the zone and focus on losing this weight for the last time! x

Week 12 weigh in and I've lost 1lbs still very happy with that as I am now officially in the 13's! Whoop whoop! Lol hoping for a woosh soon ;-) x

Hi ya, it is definitely doable hun, I managed to lose 41lb in the first 9 weeks so only 1lb off 3 stone but in that time I had a WS day also so who knows I could have lost the whole 3 if I hadn't eaten, plus i don't really like water so i drink tons of coke zero and Dr pepper zero :-S Good luck...

Sorry, from my understanding I thought it was relatively easy to get kicked out of ketosis

Yeah Harvester sounds like a 'safe' bet or nandos could be good x

If your not worried about kicking yourself out of ketosis I'd say have a sandwich or pasta in the afternoon, something with a good few carbs in as they say it can be dangerous to drink whilst in ketosis. The carbs in a sandwich should kick you out so you'll be ready for your night out :-) Try...

Not really for me either, when I first started all I drank was water but I'm not a great lover of water! For around 8 weeks now I've been drinking Dr pepper zero and coke zero as and when I please and only really drink water when I run out! I'm not advocating this in anyway it's just what works...

Well done x

Don't let it dishearten you, have a great weekend! Just jump right back on the wagon after and you'll be fine! :-) x

I think it's whatever suits you best so that you know you can 'stick' to the plan. I don't have anything but water, coke zero or Dr pepper zero in the mornings, I'll have my first pack sometimes 2pm-4pm then I have another maybe around 7pm then I have a bar while watching the tv during the...

They are £2.99 for 3 bars so around a £1 a bar x

Hi ya hunni, Sorry to hear your husband has been poorly, glad he is now recovering x x I too am 5ft 2-3ish and I completely understand about not holding the weight well. I just feel fat and dumpy! Frustrating when people weigh the same but are that bit taller so carry it better than...

Yes as long as its just Malic acid it is fine, you just have to avoid drinks that contain citric acid x

Absolutely fantastic!! Amazing loss! Well done hun x

Week 11weigh in and I've lost 2lbs so I'm now 14st exactly. Was hoping to get into the 13's but as its my TOTM I'm happy with the 2lbs, it seems to be the average I lose during this time. So onto week 12 eek 3 months have flown by!

I'm only 5ft 2- 5ft 3 ish, ideally I'd love to get down to 8st 7lbs as I want to allow for re-feed weight and a few lbs to play with. I have no idea what dress size that would make me but I know it is what is classed as a healthy bmi x I'd absolutely LOVE to be a size 10 as I'm so short and...

Can I jump on this wagon please?! I've still got shed loads to lose :-( I'm up for a 100 day challenge :-) Samprand - 0 done, 100 to go honeypop - 0 done, 50 to go MsJMC - 0 done, 100 to go kenshin112 - 0 done, 60 to go Perfect pudding -0 done, 100 to go

Well I didn't update my weigh in for week 10 but I lost 3lbs taking me to 14st 2lbs with a total loss of 44lbs! I'm on week 11 now and its Saturday. Taking the kiddies to the cinema today, then it's a trip back to Essex to visit the family for a BBQ although I won't be eating it no longer...

Hi Bellerine Oh no, in no way did I find your post pushy so please don't worry there! Honestly I was just grateful that you read a bothered to reply. Everyone has different opinions and perspective on things I just wondered if I was overreacting to what she said in the way it made me feel. I...

Welcome and good luck x

Hi ya, I had last weekend 'off' plan and managed to maintain my weight which I was extremely happy with but to be honest I would have been happy with just a 1-2lb gain as I knew I would get straight back on plan. I found I couldn't eat or drink a lot anyway and I tried to stick mainly to...

Well done Hun x

Well done Hun, my 9 week weigh in on Tuesday x

Well done x

Well done x

I'm here too! Lol On week 9, as the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. Going to continue doing Exante unless I'm really struggling, bored of flavours or my losses dwindle, holding out as could be just what I need in a few months but for now I'm happy with Exante :-) x

Inch loss is recorded on my weigh in tracker. Still here :-) on week 9. I had 2 WS days last week as we had arranged a weekend away for my birthday so Friday and Saturday I had 1 meal on both days but I also had a bottle and half of wine on the Saturday! I got straight back on the 'wagon' on...

Well done Gill, 2lb in week nine is great! I had a STS last weigh in hoping for some sort of loss on Tuesday. Keep going! x

Thank you hun x

Hi ya, not sure how it works out with dress sizes hun, all I know is I practically lived in leggings! My leggings were labeled as a size 22 but we all know how forgiving they can be, I guess I was easily a size 24. I'm now fitting into size 18's so yes you are probably right! My leggings are now...

Hi Gill Thankyou hunni and Well done x x x

Well I'm still here still 100% TS apart from one planned WS day. Weigh in tomorrow, would like to hit the 14's this week. If I manage it I'll be ecstatic! Have a feeling I may have a sts tho as I really don't feel like I've lost anything. I know it will even itself out eventually but I think if...

Thankyou hunni a lot better now was having an off day lol x x

I am having a shocking day, I just want to crawl back into bed and not get up again. Today has been my worse day since I started the Exante journey, feeling terribly low and right about now would be when I turn to food for comfort. I won't as I know I've come so far plus I'm determined to stick...

Thankyou hunni x

The Chocolate orange Exante bars also have citric acid, think someone said as it is a small amount it doesn't effect ketosis? I also wondered why Exante used an ingredient they advised against consuming x

H= 17st 6lbs S= 17st 4lbs C= 15st 2lbs G= 9st Ideally I want to get under my goal weight so I have a few lbs to play with once I start introducing food, but would be ecstatic to just be 9st :-) x

Hi ya everyone, I'm just embarking on my 7th week, this is a really hard diet to follow if your heart really isn't in it, I too in the beginning found myself questioning wither I could do it, Of course the answer is yes I can do this it's just a question of how bad i really want it? When I...

Week 6 weigh in and i've lost 2lbs :) very happy with that as it is my TOTM plus had a planned WS day on Saturday! Back on 100% TS :D

Week 6 weigh in and i've managed to lose 2lbs! Very happy with that as it is my TOTM plus i had a planned WS day on Saturday. Sat: Exante Vanilla Milkshake Exante Veg Soup Grilled Chicken, Lettuce, cucumber, cabbage Exante Bar

Seems to be differing opinions here? The ketogenic food list says we are allowed onion in moderation? x

Hi ya, I'm on my 6th week of Exante and will be taking my aamw at week 13, I wanted to double check on a few ingredients I'm unsure of. Are we allowed onion, garlic and peppers? If anyone knows that would be great x

Thankyou :-) Well I received my porridge today and I had some this evening, I think I'll add a little sweetener or cinnamon next time as it was nice just lacked a little something :-) my hubby really likes it tho! x Still 100% TS x

Thankyou!! :thankyou:

Hi ya hun, your doing really well! I only lost 2lbs in my 3rd week so your 1 up on me! Lol your body fluctuates so much so 3lbs is fantastic and you've already lost over the 14lbs Exante say you should lose in a month! Keep it up, you can do this! x

I've ordered some porridge as I've read a lot of people really like it, will be nice to eat something with a piece of cutlery for a change lol. My hubby has been doing Exante over the past week but is doing WS, he is doing really well, it's nice to have that extra bit of support x

Arh Thankyou both, I'm very happy with my loss so far :-) x x

Week 5 had a 6lb loss that brings my weight from 15st 10lbs down to 15st 4lbs 28lbs total loss so far -Two stone down in 5 weeks! HAPPY VALENTINES PEOPLE x :candledinner:

I needn't have worried I've managed to lose 6lbs this week! So happy as that means I have now lost a total of 28lbs or 2 stone! In only 5 weeks! I'm over the moon :-) x

Amazing 2nd week loss well done Hun x

Well done hunni x :-)

So I've made it to week 5 100% TS and I have managed to lose 6lbs this week!!!! My start weight was 17st 4lbs and i am now 15st 4lbs so happy as that now means I have lost 2 stone in just 5 weeks!!! :-) I am so happy as I was worried my loss would stall this week, my body has to resist at some...

Weekly weigh in tomorrow, a bit worried that my losses might slow down now plus TOTM is looming again :-( week 5 nearly over and done with all still 100% TS. Time will tell x

I'm not sure if you did but I would try registering your correct address with a different Email address to the one currently stored on Exante delivery system? Might be worth a try if you haven't already thought of this. Hope you work it out soon hun x

Well done x

Well done x

Well done hunni x

This is something I can totally relate to. I have five children ages ranging from 14 to 3. We always sit down for dinner as a family but since I've been doing Exante I can't face sitting there watching them all eat :-( my youngest son asks the most questions being only 3 he doesn't understand...

Hi ya Adam, Glad you decided to start your own diary! I'm sure you will find it invaluable in the weeks to come, looking over your achievements. Try not to get disheartened over the minor blip! The most import thing is that you haven't given up :-)

Day 33, still 100% TS! I've done something a little crazy. I've vowed not to buy any new clothes as I don't plan on staying this size but I saw a jacket that I really LOVE! Now comes the crazy bit, I bought it in a size 16 eek! I'm a little worried I'm tempting fate but I love it! I've found my...

Thankyou hunni x hope your doing well x

Fantastic losses! Well done! x

Arh thank you everyone x

As many others on here I'm not in the medical profession but I would advise you to contact your GP to discuss as, It could cause you anaemia if this goes on over a prolonged period of time, plus you can not just assume it is the diet causing you abnormal bleeding. Not saying there is anything...

Oh I can't say I envy you, two meals out, eek! That would be a massive test for me, luckily I've managed to avoid social situations like that so far! There are only so many times you can decline an invite tho so I'm sure I'm soon to be tested! lol :-) good luck Hun, try and stay strong! I...

Well done! That is fantastic! x

Hi ya Adam, Thank you, how are you finding Exante? When I first started I wondered how on earth I was going to stick to it as I didn't really enjoy the first 2 shakes I had and I didn't like 3 of the 4 soups! Over time my taste buds must have changed tho as I enjoy all the shakes now, I've...

Well done Pam that must have took some amazing will power! I'm trying to steer clear of social gatherings like this although I know inevitably I will be faced with them at some point, hope I can handle them as well as you have! x

Had my week 4 weigh in today and I've lost 4lbs. So that's 22lb down from my start weight :-) x

Week 4 had a 4lb loss this morning from 16st to 15st 10lbs 22lb total loss so far x

Well done hunni, keep up the good work! x

Well done hunni, fantastic first weeks loss, you must be over the moon! x

Well done hunni, keep up the good work! x

I ya I've just done my week four weigh in and I've lost 4lbs! Very happy with that as it now means I am 15st 10lbs! So total loss for my first month is 22lbs! Just 6lbs off 2 stone! So happy :-) bring on month two! Can't believe I've gone from being in the 17's to the 15's in a month!

Well done Hun x

Get someone else to test the strips, that way you'll know for sure :-) Who knows our bodies work in mysterious ways sometimes! Just get back on the Exante wagon regardless. You can do this x

Hi ya, can anyone tell me why the chocolate orange Exante bar has citric acid in if we are not allowed it? I'm a but worried about eating them now? :-( and confused as they seem to contradict themselves by having a product that contains something we should avoid?? :-( x

Hi ya Gill, Thank you for your very kind words :-) You shouldn't beat yourself up over your little slip, the main thing is your back on track and haven't just given up! It would be all too easy to slip back into the old routines, so give yourself some credit your doing great! It's not easy...

Day 23 and I think I have finally mastered the tracker at the bottom of the page! if it's not there after my post I obviously haven't lol! Well I had a 2lb loss yesterday so that brings my total loss to 18lbs in 3 weeks and now I'm bang on 16st! Aim for this week is to get into the 15's! Wow...

Hi ya hun, Thankyou, I really enjoy the shakes now, I don't add sweetener as I really like them as they are. I love the chocolate and vanilla ones, they are my favourites! I have to say the only soup I love is the veg one, I don't enjoy any of the other flavours. I ordered a bumper pack of...

Week 3 weigh in and I've lost 2lbs very happy with that as was a little worried the scales wouldn't move this week! :-) omg I've made it to week four 100% TS that's a big achievement for me! I am 100% committed to this diet! x 18lbs in 3 weeks

weigh in day tomorrow eek :-S will the scales move?

Hi ya Pam, I too am 5ft 2in and when I started I weighed 17st 4lbs it's my third week weigh in tomorrow, it's by no means an easy diet to stick to but being in the right frame of mind definitely helps! Wishing you good luck on your Exante journey, if you ever need a pick me up there are plenty...

Day 21, had a fantastic time the weekend, popped into see my mum at work i hadn't seen her since I started Exante as she lives over in Essex. She was in the office but then appeared on the store floor and she walked straight past me! I was like 'Mum!' she said ' Oh hello darling, sorry I didn't...

Thank you hunni, had a fantastic day and I stayed 100% despite the temptations, my friend was tucking into a fresh cut deep filled sand which and a sausage roll! I could easily have caved but I was strong lol x

Well done hunni, keep at it your doing fab! x

Well done hunni! That's fantastic x

Day 19! Still 100% TS, off with my best friend bridal shopping today for her dress! Haven't seen her since I started Exante as she lives over in Essex ( which is where I was from originally ). Will make sure I take plenty of water with me as it is going to be a long day! Weigh in on Tuesday...

Thank you all x

2.4lbs loss is still a loss! Your losing every week which is great! I'm from Tunbridge Wells hunni x

Well done hunni, your doing fantastic! x

Well today is my 16th day, I've been doing 100% TS and I am actually really enjoying it. I don't think I have ever been so in control of my eating, I wouldn't say I was an over eater I just made really bad food choices. I've just ordered my second months supplies from Exante, I've opted for the...

Hi ya hunni, Well done on your losses!! Your doing fantastically! Exante say 14lbs a month so your loss so far is great! Hope your doing well. Tracey x

Thank you hunni x

Week 2 weigh in and I have lost 5lbs! So I am now 226lbs! Chuffed that's 16lbs in 2 weeks! x

Thank you hun x

Hi ya hunni, Try not to beat yourself up over it, I don't think I could sit there while everyone else was drinking and eating, that is like torture! I'm dreading social situations like that, I'm trying to avoid them at all costs lol As you say hunni, you'll have that 6lb back off before you...

Hi ya hun and welcome, good luck on your Exante journey x

Honk

Well done hunni x

Honk x

Good for you hunni! I'm sure you'll be fine at this weeks weigh in, I bet it felt wonderful to say no! x

Honk, honk, honk, honk,honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk!! 12 days down!

Thank you hunni, still sticking at it lol think my loss won't be great this week as its still TOTM for me ( which could explain the bloating doh, I'm so thick sometimes! Lol ) plus had quiet a good 1st week loss so I'll be happy with a couple of pounds! I may just wait until week 3 to weigh...

9975

I agree with Darcy, I think it may taste amazing at the time but you will just feel awful about it after! I'm sure your nephew wants you there for the company and wouldn't really be bothered if you ate or not, maybe you are subconsciously looking for a reason to cheat? You can go to his party...

Day 12 still 100% TS, feeling quite bloated, is it normal? x Still drinking plenty of water, I wouldn't say I'm hungry but sometimes when people around me are eating I sometimes crave for it too but my will power is still going strong. I really struggle at the weekends! My skin feels...

I've had the same problem Hun, I'm currently on day 11 and I've not seen any improvement yet! I've been like it every day since I started. I'm hoping with time it will settle down x

Ha ha no Claire I've just hijacked Michelle's thread! Lol :-S

Your doing really well! How are you feeling now? Any better? I'm just finishing day 10, still 100% TS. I find dinner time the hardest as my hubby really can not cook so I'm still catering for the whole family, all 6 of them! With all the aromas wafting through the house I am surprised at my...

Hi ya hunni, Oh no, ive always suffered with tonsillitis! It's the pits! Hope you start feeling better soon, if you can get it there is a really good mouth wash called deflam sometimes you need a doctors prescription but it's fantastic. I think if something catches my eye I might just do it...

Day 10 and still on track, this will be my 50th post! lol

Hi ya , I got mine from Amazon hun I think they were £5 for 100 sticks x

Day10 still 100% TS still feeling positive, I don't know where I've got this will power from but I hope it lasts. Not seeing or feeling any change in my body weight wise yet. Hoping by week 4 I will start to see the effects even if it is just small!

Thank you hunni x

Thank you hunni, I was sure I had read it somewhere! Lol I thought I was going mad lol I haven't had any yet but if I do I'll be checking my ketones, I know a lot of people say the sticks are unreliable but the ones I have have been really good, showing no ketones first few days and gradually...

Thank you hunni! Been looking forward to a nice cold glass lol fed up with water! Only having it as an occasional treat x

Sure I read a thread where someone wrote it should be avoided as it can kick you out of ketosis? I really don't know now as I know lots of people drink coke zero? I'm not going to drink it til I know for sure lol x

Could someone please tell me if we are allowed aspartame? I know a lot of people drink coke zero but have just checked the ingredients and it contains aspartame? I know you have to avoid citric acid and coke zero has phosphoric acid just unsure of the aspartame thing as I'm sure on someone's...

Day 9 had weigh in yesterday 11lb down! Whoop whoop, aiming for 3.5 a week now to keep me on track for the average of 1stone a month although hoping the firsts months loss will be a little bigger. Was trying to stay away from scales but I broke lol at least it was 1 whole week without weighing...

Thank you! Really pleased x x

Think buying that skirt is a great idea, will keep you motivated! I've thought about doing the same for a long time but I'm still finding it hard to believe I can ever get my weight back down that low! Hope you feel better in the morning hunni, nothing worse than a stinking cold! X x

Michelle, Don't let one little slip push you off track, your bound to find it tough the first few days, weeks even! We can do this! No more excuses! Nothing tastes as good as thin feels! Tracey x x

Stapo60 I'm sure you can reach your target by July/August, what are you doing about the food break week? That's the only thing that is worrying me, i would feel absolutely gutted if I put on a good few pounds over this week and then going back on the plan just to undo it again! I've not really...

Wow 5st is an absolutely amazing achievement! It will be totally worth those few months if it works! You are doing fantastically! I'm so determined, I'd be happy with the 3.5lbs a week, that's my target here on in, anything over would be a added bonus but 1st a month sounds good to me! x

Well done! x

Well done hunni that is fantastic! Eco your weekends, that's when I'm most likely to crack but always remember 'nothing tastes as good as thin feels' x

FIRST WEEK WEIGH IN Well I weighed in at 231lbs today that is an 11lb loss! Really really happy with this as its my TOTM, still have a very long way to go!

Thank you Hun, just embarking on my second week now, have 7 stone to lose so a long way off yet. How are you getting on? Tracey x

Yes i think doing this sort of diet we need all the moral support we can get! Well I've just done my weigh in and I've lost 11lbs! Really happy with that as its TOTM too so that is great for me! I am surprised at how well I'm doing, I've been invited down to a friends the weekend and I'm a bit...

Hi ya Claire how are you getting on? Hope it's all going good hun x

Good luck on your Journey hun x

Try not to let it dishearten you, whatever the scales say tomorrow draw a line under it and move on. You CAN do this! X

Good luck hunni x

Good luck!

Good luck hunni, I'm on my 7th day so nearly a week done! I'm sure you will do great x
