Day 4 Been 100% so far but weekends are always dangerous for me Have a horrible skanky tasting mouth and v bad breath so got chewing gum at all times. That's prob not allowed but there's not much alternative I have still been having cups of teas with skimmed milk about 5 times a day. If I had...

hi thank you for your reply you've done brilliantly, 1 and a half stones would make all the difference to me and make me feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin im on day 3 now and have been 100% the last 2 days. I wish i could have found the motivation months ago but i didnt so just have...

Hey guys. This is prob my 4th diary over the years but I'm determined it will be the last. Started and restarted many times over the last couple of years. Each failure has seen me get a little bigger each time and today I find myself at 16 stone 5 lbs. Saw pics of myself the other day...

hey you've been doing so well. i didnt start last monday as i realised i didnt have enough packs to do ts so placed new order which arrived yesterday so today is day 1. start a new job in 4 weeks so really want to lose at least a stone before then so i dont feel quite as fat as i do now!

That's great, well done :)

hi, welcome :)

hi ive re-started mon this week too. i'd like to do 3 stone in 3 months, it would really make all the difference to me and make me feel so much better. look forward to seeing our progress :)

hi nice to see you on here. i too am a similar age to you and eat for all the same reasons - any! This does work, i just struggle to stay on it 100% so am going to just take it 1 day at a time this time. Im on day 2 today so it will be good to have someone to talk to on the same path i do...

hi you've done so well and to be honest 9lbs is nothing in the great scheme of things. i can put that on in a weekend! that will sooon come off. :)

thanks guys got thru day 1 so day 2 here comes me how was your day yesterday? i've found out yesterday i have an interview on wednesday so that has strengthened my resolve to go for it this time as if I get the job i wouldnt be starting for a month so could really make a difference in that time.

wow, you really have transformed yourself, you look great thats inspirational for me as im starting at your start weight although im shorter than you. thank you for posting

i agree, you do look great in all 3. and you really reallly do not look 16,8 in the first pic.

you look amazing :)

Hi everyone back again, restarted so many times in the last 18 months and never got past a week i know it works as i know several people who have done so well with it but I just cant crack it mentally and always let the bad voice in my head overrule the good voice. beat myself up every time I...

well done, you've done fantastically. a real inspiration.

Hey just popping by to say hello and have enjoyed reading your diary, restart for me today after cracking at day 3 this week and your story has inspired me that i can get past it!

Hi just popping in to say hello. i managed to blow day 2 last night with nothing at all that was worth eating so am not feeling very impressed with myself so your diary is great to see that you can get back on it xx

Thankyou

thank you, day 1 today. do you have a diary at all i can look at for inspiration? x

Brilliant, well done

Honk!

Fantastic, well done

hey, you're going well. I'm just one day ahead of you, day 5 for me so weigh in on thursday. cant say i've been hungry the last few days but it's just the habit of eating that i'm missing. i seem to always be eating when i'm not dieting! i dont know if im in ketosis or not, have got a skanky...

Honk for day 4.

Keep going, weigh in day soon. I have to wait till thursday!

just been and bought myself some ribena, think this could be a saviour for me. i love coke zero and am drinking loads but never thought i'd say this but getting a bit fed up with it. am trying to drink water but really dont like it and it just reminds me even more that i am dieting and makes me...

i've not been too bad but had oh kids staying with us this weekend so have had to contend with chinese, and just cooking sausage sarnies for them all now! seems like i've been doing this for much more than 4 days. will be easier when i get back to work tomorrow. my weigh in day is thurs. good...

Hi, just popping by to say hi. I'm on day 4 myself so will be good to have another new starter to talk to :)

fantastic, well done. day 4 for me!

Honk but my goodness it was hard. Last night everyone had a massive chinese and hardly ate any of it. Managed to resist yesterday but had a fridgefull staring at me all day and I do love cold chinese the day after! Picked up a chicken ball and then told myself the enjoyment would be gone...

21lbs for me, started thurs, go on hol 28th so I could do it if I flippin stick to it!!! That would make me 14 8 instead of the 16.1 I was on thurs which sounds so much better!!

Omg! That's fantastic news, ribena yay! Thank you so much. Off to buy some when I finish work . x

Day 2 - Honk!

Hi Sorry if this has already been asked, i have tried to read through old posts but couldn’t see anything Are there any squash’s that are ok to drink Am a bit of a coke zero addict so don’t want to drink as much as i normally do now i’m going 100% TS and am trying to drink water but would be...

I know, you're right, it's just that when i went before I would lose a stone in 3 weeks and i know i need to stop looking back at the past and concentrate now! im sat here now eating breakfast and watching that slimming programme from BBC2 last night that followed the sliiming clubs for 3...

Hi 1 1/2 off for me last night so got my half stone award. Ok, but still keep thinking that i should have done better in 3 weeks.

Well I stayed the same this week which to be honest was more than i deserved after a bad weekend. Really gutted that i could have been so stupid on only the 2nd week but know what the triggers were and why i did what i did so hopefully will have a much better week this week!

sorry if i'm being thick but what's the big mac? is is a special sw version?

Me too :( Only my 2nd weigh in tonight and i lost the plot this weekend so am dreading tonight as i really dont want a gain 2 weeks in but think it could be a possibility!

Well I had first wi tonight and I lost 5.5 and husband 3.5 so EE does work for us!

Hi, another new one here.had my first wi tonight and I lost 5.5 so pretty pleased, and my husband lost 3.5 but he only has 21lbs to lose so he's well on his way

Hi wanted to say hi, i started last week at the same weight as your start weight so really encouraging to see your stats and losses. Can I ask what plan you've been following. I've done EE this week but am a bit uneasy about the amount of carbs so will probably switch to mainly Red next week...

wow, fantastic

Beef casserole, potatoes, peas and cauliflower all syn free :)

Hi Just posting to subscibe as i've been doing EE but think i'm going to mix it up with red's so looking for ideas for meals :)

You could have that cold ommelette thing(can never remember the name!) with ham, onions, peppers etc in

HI Popping in to say hi and suscribe. Am on first week of EE but when i was a member a few years ago was happier on red so will look forward to reading your diary later when i have a min to get ideas for red days. You've done so well, are you sticking to red's all the time? how do you find your...

ahh, i see, thank you, no chilling needed!

You're all absolutly right. I can lose well the first week on any diet i do, but i never stick to it. EE certainly fits in with the family, I think I would struggle to feed my husband on red or green. He's 6ft 2 and only about a stone to lose, and wont stick to this if it's to restrictive which...

Hi cant find this on the online syn calculator - its made by SPC but not coming up i know that canned fruit isnt free but this is the stuff in the large plastic pots and says on the outside no added sugar, no preservatives any help would be appreciated

Hi Guys i joined SW on wednesday with my husband. I have been on SW a few times through the years, but this is the first time I have been persuaded by the consultant to do Extra Easy to begin with. I thought it would be easier to feed my first time dieting husband on EE. But i still struggle...

your pancake looks lovely, how do you make them?

wow! inspirational.

Fantastic thread, thanks guys

Hi Rochelle Just seen your stats, you have done an amazing job, can I ask did you lose this on Sw only?

Hey Emma I'm just like you. Lose a couple of stone, start to feel better about myself, lose my way a bit and then it starts to creep on and before you know it i'm back where i started again. I'm back at my biggest weight, very similar to your start weight, so you inspired me when i saw your...

Hi Popping by to say hello, and how well you are doing. I am a serial dieter, always after the quick fix and trying to make myself realise that if i'd gone for the slow route i would have got there by now as the quick fixes never work! have done sw before but think i need to go back to group so...

I think the meal below is free on EE but i’d love it if someone could clarify that for me before I undo the good work of yesterday! Uncle Bens Long grain rice – microwave packet Gammon Steak Onion Frozen Peas Thank you :)

Hi Guys Day 1 for me, never done EE before, was a red/green girl years ago feels v weird mixing the two but i'll give it a shot could you check today for me please to make sure i'm on the right track Breakfast - plum, banana, nectarine, apple Lunch - banana, apple Tea - gammon steak, pile...

Hi just wondered if you had any favourite standby ready meals or supermarket cook your own, like chicken breasts in sauce etc for when you're in a rush thank you so much sue

Well done x

Hey, congratulations. We are a very similar starting weight and i want to be 11.13 by the end of sept so a similar goal, so it's great to see you do so well. I had a good first week and a bit of a blip the 2nd but am back on it now. How have you been finding it. Did it get a lot easier the...

I will, thank you

Starting weight 16 stone 3lbs Week 1 - 13lbs (15st 4lbs) Week 2 - +2lbs (15st 6lbs)

Hi Well i didnt get a loss on monday, 2lb gain but to be honest i did keep eating right up to monday so pretty pleased that the 11lb had still stayed off. Been good since Monday so hoping to have a good one this week. Got a really busy fri, sat and sun so hopefully that will help as it's...

hi all well after a two day blip of eating, and 3lbs up showing on the scales :mad: and am back on track. Hoping to have a good 4 days before monday's weigh in and get a loss, even if it is only 1lb! thanks for all the support xx

I think it was the fact that id made it to weigh in, and in all previous diets after weigh in was the time for a treat unfortunately that is not the way to go with exante, i really didnt want to start thinking of food again, and that is just what has happened. Been good all day, and have just...

Wow, that's brilliant. What a consistent weight loss you have. xx

No, don't deserve well dones, I ate rubbish last night!

Ok, so I lost 13lbs, drank 3 litres of water yesterday and then went home and ate 8 crackerbreads with tuna and then grated cheese. Then 2 rice cakes. Then a bag of haribo type sweets. Then went to bed gutted, dog woke me up at 3 so ate a small bag of teddy bear gums. Then ate another 4...

Dont get many other perks here! can i ask you a question which could sound a bit weird! you've lost 1st 12lbs in the last 3 weeks, which is an amazing loss in such a short time. What i cant get my head round is how someones appearance can change so drastically in 3 weeks, but to lose that much...

I agree, so much easier to drink water at work as i dont mind going to the loo constantly as i'm getting paid to do so lol!

Hey chelly I'm v happy to be back, going to do it this time. So many things coming up in the next few months that will be so much nicer being slim for. Managed to get 2 litres of water down already at work this morning too! I didnt stop drinking about 4 or 5 cups of tea and about 4 cans of...

That’s fantastic, well done and have a lovely day x

Hi. I was 16 3 last week but after today's wi am 15 4, do my goal this week is to say good bye to the 15's and be in the 14's this time next week. Fingers crossed and good luck to you all c

Hi. You've done so well, congratulations. Hope I can stick to it like you have

Thank you x

Thank you Alia well week 1 weigh in this morning and I've lost 13lbs. Very happy but aware that that was the easy bit and I'm not going to see such motivating losses again. Need to stay motivated when the scales dont fly down as quickly as they have this week!

Starting weight 16 stone 3lbs Week 1 - 13lbs (15st 4lbs)

Hi All Im back and motivated failed to get past day 4 times this year, and 6 times last year. I went and saw dr a couple of weeks ago as i was so depressed about it all, who gave me xenical so i absconded to the other side for a week but was being nosy reading all your posts last week and...

I'm proud of myself because I've made it to day 6 and ive never made it past 4 before, and normally crack up at day 1. I will do this!

congratulations, that's brilliant Ps, can you i ask where you got the pics on your sig of the 3 different body types. Been looking for this sort of thing for ages xx

wow. I see from your stats you're in the 10's now. any more pictures? you look amazing

amazing results, what an inspiration you are going to go back on the packs tomorrow, thank you for making me want to try again!

Hey, thanks for thinking of me I've gone to the other side lol! I love the idea of a vlcd but it really messes with my head. I so want to succeed but keep failing after a few days and beat myself up so badly. Took myself off to the doctors last wednesday and she gave my xenical which i was...

Hi Everyone just wondered what you've found good in helping you follow the under 5g rule reading through some of the diaries i see people use the extra light mayo, frylight but just wondered if there were any other good low fat goodies out there cheers

How did you get on with your first week loss?

I struggled on week 1 last week and every cheat turned into a bad day, but pulled it back over the weekend and lost 5lbs which is ok but not what I wanted for a first week. This week however I feel ok, have decided that the thought of not eating at all screws me up so if I want to do ws some...

yay, shall look forward to it! thankyou

i understand how u feel, been there myself but stop thinking that way and it wont be that bad. it's just one day, and if you stop now it's recoverable, honestly. The damage comes when you carry it on the next day which is what i used to do. so just put it down to a bad day, unfortunately life...

brilliant, well done

omg, that is so inspirational, wow!

what a difference, you look fantastic

Hi I've never stuck to diet long enough to get into ketosis, just wondered if it really does help with the hunger pangs and hollow feelings?

that's what ive decided to do too xx

Honk

11 weeks to Holiday - Exante all the Way Oh and I'm hiding away in the bath at the moment too until its bedtime!!!

11 weeks to Holiday - Exante all the Way Hi pink I started last week but struggled with ts so am going to do ws too. Would be great to keep in touch and see how you're doing as a fellow working solution person. I am struggling with what to have for meals as I'm frightened once I start eating I...

Well I lost 5 1/4lbs on my first week but i'm not celebrating as I pratted around last week only managing 2 days TS. Then I lost the plot for a few days and then pulled it back over the weekend :( Really cross with myself as with what I weigh it should have been a very good week. Oh well, will...

thank you :)

Hi Thanks to reading Determinationiskey's reply to me the other day when I was struggling, i have decided that following working solution is the best option for me otherwise I will try to do TS, fail and then give up completely I would love to know who else is doing this option, so i can ask...

Hi, yes that is helpful thank you and well done on your losses Since your earlier post I've realised that ws mixed with ts when I'm able to is the best way to go for me. The destruction I do to myself when I "fail" to stick to 100% ts is so damaging I feel there's nothing left to do but go...

that's something i will look into more. i hadnt considered that before as in my head it had to be all or nothing, but as you say better to keep going and lose a bit less than blow it and give up. can i ask when you started and what sort of losses you've had each week thank you

Thank you so much for your reply. That really helps me so much

This is going to sound really silly but here goes When i have tried to do TS previously I have a cheat and in my head that's it, i havent stuck to it 100% of the time so i give up. I started again on Monday and last night felt so rough I did have something i shouldnt have had. Today im back on...

Hi Day 1 restart from last year for me yesterday I really dont think i stand a chance of sticking to this if I cant have say 4 coke zero's and 6 cups of tea a day with skimmed milk. I'm interested to know if anyone else includes these in their diet and still has good weight losses? thanks

Hi, well done for sticking to it so far. I'm restarting tomorrow and its been good reading other peoples successes! xx

Hi I need to do this but i have failed so many times before i have 3 weeks and 5 days until 2 major events in my life, a night out where a girl who my husband cheated with will be there, and then an interview for my dream job i am 15st 12 1/2lbs and am gutted i am at this weight with so...

Hi i've got a cabin crew interview in 5 weeks and i am overweight obviously. i shant be going if i dont lose a certain amount of weight and feel comfortable amongst the skinnies, what do you think i could lose? cheers susy

Hi everyone Back to have another go. have got so big i have to stop this somehow am off to spain in 5 weeks so have a great target to go for my question is i really dont think i will stick on the straight and narrow just drinking water and i hate coffee has anyone had good weight loss...

Hi I'm starting today too, definitely would like some diet buddys

Started in march, lasted to day 6 and fell off the plan have come back about half a stone heavier which is crazy restarting tomorrow, fingers crossed i will be stronger this timer :)

Help, need inspiration, been starting and failing over the last 5 weeks and now have only 2 weeks until a really important night out in my life. Keep thinking 2 weeks isn't long enough to make a difference but it could be couldn't it? I restarted today and weighed in at 15st 4lbs. Please tell me...

Thank you, will look forward to your weigh in tomorrow, you can be my inspiration for my next week:)

Hi all Well Week 1 was great till day 5 and then screwed up day 6 & 7. Day 7 ate more food in a day that i can believe possible and felt horrendous doing it but that didnt stop me, so on weigh in today lost 1 1/2 lbs. So Day 8 and I am back on it. Have made a decision not to weigh until next...

Well I fell off the wagon on the evening of Day 6 and tho I tried to get back on the straight and narrow on Day 7 , I didn't and spectacularly ate so much yesterday right through to bedtime until my tummy hurt, pathetic!!! So my first weeks wi is a ridiculous 1 1/2 off Only good thing I guess...

thankyou, are there any other shakes that are ok in an emergency that you can get off the high street?

thank you, have downed a pint of water, had a bath, washed my hair, and am back on it! thank god for this forum But honestly, chips at 5am, what was i thinking! :)

oh and watch out for my weigh in tomorrow morning, i shall keep positive and hope for some loss even though it wont be as good as it could have been

Thanks to you both i know what i have to do, i need to take it as an isolated incident and get back on it and no, it wasnt as nice as i thought it was going to be, wish id had some ben and jerrys instead! so yes, gym today, dog walking and back on shakes. thank you so much xxx

Says it all, day 6 yesterday, had been good all the days before. Didn't like theexante bars so treated myself to a tescoultra slim one at lunchtime and because I knew I would like it I felt differently all morning. I was literally counting down the minutes to lunchtime and instead of just having...

thankyou :)

i am struggling so much right now, sat here trying to justify eating something low carb but i know i will feel so bad if i do but for the first time this week i really want to:cry:

Im not sure how much water i should be drinking, im having about 3 pints a day. im on day 6 and havent seen the scales move as much as i thought they would for a first weekand im wondering if its my water consumption and i havent cheated once

Thanks Allie, i have the strange taste and bad breath but thats prob cos i'm smoking too much! i did test and it came up small traces but as others have said there's no point playing around with test sticks, if im sticking to it thats all i can do!

Hey there That's fantastic to be 8lbs down already and you still have 3days to your wi Do you feel like you're in the swing of it now?

I'm sure I read in someone's post that these bars are ok to use Can anyone confirm they are the same as our bars and won't screw things up using them. I really hate our bars but adore the shakes so it would be nice to have something to chew on once a day that I liked but I don't want to ruin things

My husbands sat in bed eating a tub of Ben and Jerrys so I have retreated to a bubble bath. I seem to be doing this every night and I've never washed up straight after cooking his tea before but I am since starting this!!!

thankyou, i shall stop being scared off the coke zero then! still dont know if im in ketosis, how do you tell?

Hey, im ok thanks day5 and plodding on. still sticking 100% and have found i def have to only think about getting through the day, any more forward and it seems too daunting.....but i have been good for 5 days and i never thought i would i think the thing that will stop me cheating is that it...

Hi yes please, that would be great to have a buddy it's like they say i'm not actually hungry, it's just the habit of putting something in your mouth i have some sticks at home so will test after work, think i will be happy once i see i am in ketosis catch you later :)

Hi All This is day 4, not been too bad, although i have been having a couple of coke zero's a day which i am feeling guilty about and worrying it might slow me down, but on the other side think it will help me stick to 100% so not sure what to do for the best Woke up in the middle of the night...

That wasn't supposed to be a question mark but a smiley !

Thank you for your replies ?

Hi I on day 3 and love my diet coke. Have bought some Coke Zero but dont want to abuse it if its going to slow things down, however think it might help me stick to T/S so not really sure what the right thing is to do Just wondered those of you that do drink this as well as water, how many cans...

Thank you so much. I really want to do this, but when you are a natural pig that eats for the sake of it not grabbing food at will is a hard habit to get out of I can believe what you say about the site being a lifesaver, I'm lying in bed now with a rumbling tummy, reached for my phone and here...

Thank you. Prob not the most sensible motivation but if it keeps me on track then good enough End of day 2 and it's been a struggle and I've realised it really will be one day at a time to do T/S

Hi everyone Im on day 2 of exante Weighed in at 15st 4lbs yesterday. Got down to 12st 12lbs last May but did that through stress and adreneline of husband having his head turned at work! Got everything all sorted and put it all back on again Am absolutly kicking myself cos i've been trying to...
