Thanks for dropping in and replying! I'm feeling pretty good today and I've had my first cold vanilla coffee shake - yum! Tastes like those cold Starbucks latte things you get at the supermarket. Still can't face any of the soups, I just wish I could have 2 bars and a shake every day - id be a...

I lost 1lb this week which is a little disappointing but that's what you get for drinking vino and eating lots and lots of sourdough bread! I've been back on since Monday and haven't done badly at all. I am really struggling with the soups though. Didn't mind them at first but now they're...

*crawls in shamefaced* Well I have a confession to make. I have been completely off plan this weekend :( and it's WI tomorrow and I'll have to face up to the naughtiness. Boo! Going to get back on it 100% tomorrow, get my water up and look forward to next Mondays WI where ill hopefully be back...

Well done NB! Great loss!

Misslinky, that's exactly the reason I wouldn't do SW or WW again. I became obsessed with food, everything that passed my lips would have been planned with military precision and it became too much! I think the principles are sound and it obvs does work for some people but it's not for me. I...

How did your weigh in go nonnibear? (silly autocorrect tried to change nonnibear to 'non obese!' certainly fits in with minimins!) Today I had my first wobble. I ate about 12 wine gums :( don't know why, I've resisted the box for all this time - its in my office - but today I succumbed! Finding...

Just finished my tea. Not a fan of the carbonara I have to say. I may have made it wrong but it was basically a thicker soup with a few strands of spaghetti. Had to add a handful of peas just to make it palatable. Ho hum! Back to soup tomorrow.

First WI yesterday - 7lbs down taking me to 13.6. I'm very happy with this as I wasn't following TS to the letter. Although I didn't have any actual meals I did snack on the odd boiled egg or slices of chicken. I think I'm doing really well on this diet, mealtimes are so straightforward. I...

WK1 weigh in - 7lbs off! :) woohoo! Very happy with this, especially as this past week has been TOTM plus I've had several protein nibbles throughout. My porridge and carbonara should be arriving today so feeling excited about trying them. Very motivated this morning!

I sympathise with you! I've ended up having to keep a spare toothbrush and toothpaste at work so I can have a quick brush when my breath starts to pong.

I use the same WW scales I've had for donkeys years. They're set up in the spare room, on laminate so every Monday I'll hop on - after visiting the loo of course! I think they're pretty accurate, especially as the circumstances stay the same.

I'm so impressed you resisted a glass of champers. I don't know if I have the willpower to do that! I've found my first exante weekend quite tough. Ended up having 2 small jack Daniels and coke zero on Friday night plus some slices of lean ham. I did however stay strong last night as OH...

Hi! Just read your diary - well done! That is such a fantastic result, must be such a boost!

Day three today! Not gone quite to plan as this morning was a total farce, woke late, in a complete rush and managed to forget my packs. Thankfully had a vanilla shake at work so had that for brekkie but the only thing I could think of to have at lunch - v. Limited choice - so had a pack of...

Oh no! Sorry to hear you had such a rough day. I think anyone would have been upset after all that! Im a newbie myself, on day two, so I can't really say whether the diet affects moods as such - sure a long termer will be able give some insight. Here's hoping tomorrow is better! I think out of...

Thanks for tip. Had a look on there today, some good ideas for days when I feel like I need something 'proper'. Cheers!

Hi everyone! I'm on day two of the Exante diet, hoping to stick to TS mainly, but will probably have a few WS days when I need a bit more. I'm going to check in here as much as I can - hopefully it will keep me on the straight and narrow! Today has been ok, I had a bar for breakfast...

This diet is actually going to make my bank account gain £s! I spend so much in the supermarkets, just popping for things and coming out £20 later with bags of stuff. All those little trips add up so being unable to do that will be fab! I've just ordered 5 porridge and 5 carbonara to try which...

Thanks for replying! I think I may have to be a little more flexible then. I was hoping to just do TS 100% until the fourth week but if I feel I need a little something I'll allow myself the odd WS day with high protein, low carb snacks. I'm okay with the odd slice of lean ham or a salmon...

Hi Newbie starter here! Just wondering if anyone ate protein snacks like the odd boiled egg, slice of chicken whilst following TS? And would this affect losses at all? I don't want to have a proper 400cal low carb meal just yet but I am a bit nervous of feeling a little faint and would rather...

I ended up having to whisk my mushroom soup for a good 5 mins or so and there was still claggy bits stuck to the saucepan! Will try the fork or hand blender tomorrow night I think.

Hi I've just started today so my weigh in day will be every Monday. I was greeted with 13stone13 when I stepped on the scales this morning - all the 13's starting 2013! I'll be someone's buddy if you want me! I'm hoping to get down to about 11st 7, possibly lower within 3 months though I'm not...

I've just returned from a meal at Wetherspoons. I had the chicken skewers and they are luvverly! Was a bit naughty and had chips instead of a jacket but it was worth it. The chicken skewers were nice and chunky and the piri piri sauce had just enough of a kick. This will definitely be my new...

Well well! Look who's back! I'm afraid I've had a terrible few days, not been on plan whatsoever. I felt really crappy on Friday as that loss I really hoped for didn't materialise. I stayed the same! Grrr! Over a week of Slimfast, salad for tea pretty much every night plus loads of workouts...

More salad and George Foreman'd meat for me! Grilled turkey breast Salad with cucumber, tomatoes, mixed leaves Boiled egg Moroccan houmous Coleslaw Boiled new potatoes 1 whole meal pitta pocket

Update for yesterday and today- Monday Lemon Meringue shake for both breakfast and lunch Snacks: cherries, muller Greek style yoghurt, 9 bar Tea: boiled eggs, slice of ham, salad, coleslaw, new potatoes, slice of bread Exercise: insanity workout Tuesday Lemon Meringue shake for both breakfast...

Just noticed the comments on that deals site about them being lumpy. I've never had the ready shakes before these so I don't know if you have to give all of them a good shake but my first bottle was a bit lumpy and looked like it had separated! I just used a funnel to pour it back in the bottle...

Glad you got your mitts on some! In hoping to get some more tomorrow but I'm expecting the shelves to have been cleared by then. Never mind!

Just tried out my new George Foreman grill and tonight we've wolfed down- Grilled chicken breast 1/2 Mozzerella ball Steamed baby potatoes Salad LF coleslaw 1/2 avocado Dollop of Moroccan houmous Seeded square wrap Nom nom! Now I need to wait for it all to settle and do my Insanity workout...

Congrats on your fab loss Hezz! And totally off topic but I love your profile pic! So cute! I had a gorgeous border collie for 15 years, they are such brilliant dogs.

I'm pretty proud of myself today. I managed to resist the temptation of a bacon butty this morning at the carboot. Came home and had a shake instead! I was up at 6am and didn't get back until gone 11 (it was a mega car boot!) so was starving but happy that I resisted the urge to gorge on toast...

Hi boopers! I think I'm one of those people who, if I don't have to think about food I won't. I dont have to work out what my daily menu will be, working in Healthy extras or points, simply grab a two shakes on my way out of the door and thats it! When I tried WW and SW, because I had to think...

Thanks for your comments oasis, you're right - I just need to plough on and the results will show! Well this weekend is working out to be much better than last. Friday nights is usually pizza night but instead we had a large salad with a few boiled new potatoes, smoked salmon, lf coleslaw and...

Well a bit of a bummer - i stayed the same at 13st4. Quite shocking because that proves I ate so much crap at the weekend that even four days of sticking to 1200 cals can't produce a loss! Anyhoo, I am carrying on and I hope that next week will be better. This is also my * week so any water...

Hi all! I thought I would have a chatter on here and chart what hopefully will be a good loss using Slimfast. I only started on Tuesday but have stuck to the plan 100% so far. Last weeks weigh in came in at 13st 4 so I wonder what tomorrow will bring! To be fair last weekend was an utter...

Hi I'd like to join in too please. I have a target of 10st7 so currently I need to lose 38lbs. I've recently tried SW but found myself obsessing over every morsel of food. Although SF is alot more restrictive I think I'll manage better as I don't even have to think about what I'm eating at...

B&M bargains have got the Slimfast lemon meringue ready to drink shakes - 6 for 99p! BB date is July 2012 but I think they're still good for another week or so. Just stocked up on 12 bottles and I'm glad I did - they are yummy! Nearly two weeks worth of shakes for less than 2 quid - cant...

DYJHIW you finally have your long awaited week off work BUT you have had an allergic reaction to something and am covered in a hideous rash from your boobs down to your feet. :( its really nasty looking so no swimming, aqua classes in my week off, no wearing nice summer stuff. Covered in...

I've never had any problems over there at all. The only reason I've ever felt delicate was due to enjoying too many BOGOF tequila sunrises the night before!

Grilled meats rather! Doh!

I've been to sunny beach 3 times and absolutely love it! You'll have a great time. My fave bar was the Viking bar which is practically on the beach on the main strip. And the food is delish, huge mixed skewers with grilled greats and shopska salad - yum! Hope you reach your target! Good luck!

Has anyone seen the WW garlic breads? Saw them for the first time today in Morrisons. As I've only just found out the petit pains are a HEXb, I'm really hoping these would count too, maybe with an additional syn or two? I think the pack does mention the high fibre content. They will be perfect...

Can I join in too? I'm a Wednesday weigher! Tonight was my third class - 3lbs gone! Yay! :)

Newbie here! Joined on Wednesday so still getting to grips with it all. Tonight I made a 'pizza' using a split Warburton Thin as a base. Topped with tomato purée, mushrooms, jalapeños, ham and a HEa of grated cheese. Served with SW wedges and salad. It was delish! I'm a complete pizza fiend but...

Evening all! I'm trying to get my arse into gear this year (ha -poetry!) and lose the 2st I gained in 2011. I have been trying, albeit half heartedly, to do it on my own at home but haven't managed to get into the swing of things. I'm planning to go to my local class on Wednesday and hopefully...
