Thanks heatwave!! I've got through today (at work) where there was a buffet brought in and I didn't have anything not want anything cos know how easy would throw me and I'd be starting again. Energy is still at rock bottom but little to no plans tonight purposely, probably started at worst time...

Well woke up today hungry, feeling as tired as when I went to bed and run down....the joys of the start if this diet!! I've stopped exercising until I'm in the ketosis zone and I'm pleased cos not sure how much tireder I could be - but the starting of the metallic taste is coming so just need to...

Thanks 'heatwave'...currently drinking a coke zero for some variety! Congratulations on your amazing weight loss so far - I'd be absolutely chuffed to bits!

Thanks supernova!! Came to bed early tonight so in right mind frame for morning. Probably felt as big as I do now (probably due to the fact I've just taken all my measurements to track that way too) but determined. good luck for tomorrow - and the hard days following!!

Hi supernova also starting tomorrow - again! Done it 2 year ago and put most back on due to several reasons but really never felt more determined. good luck for your first day and sure you'll be brilliant - the feeling of letting yourself down is the worst but we'll do it!!

Starting TS tomorrow morning - second time though when I originally done it in 2012 I didn't do it properly and gave up too easy. But having getting into a rut with myself over last few month and not even sticking to my usual exercise - I've decided only I can change. So decided to go to local...

Stated the same!!! Gutted as only week 3 but didnt think I had. Haven't had all 3 meal done days been really struggling which is ridiculous so won't have helped!!! X

Don't let them bother you Sam...obvious from photo how beautiful you are!!! People don't understand how much a passing comment can hurt!! God knows what they look like close up so dont let it bother you...you're doing this for your reasons not theres or anyone else's!!!x

Knackering Sam!!! I was quite put off!! I'm normally at spinning, kettlecise or swimming once a day so need to sort it!! Back there again tomorrow (swimming) to destress after the morning!! How are you? x

Thanks both....I resisted last night n feel better for it cos know that previously I'd have gone and just eaten something for sake of it!!! Yeah the interview is at back iv my mind and I'm not confident about it as know who I'm up against and their qualifications/experience...however that's not...

Thanks Sam...struggled this afternoon but through it and got assignments n interview stuff to keep me busy now!!! Another week done!! x

Good morning Sam. Great news with your inch loss on measurements!! I must admit I was full up reading through your post...well done you in being brave and putting all down but you do seem determined. You've had some tough times in your life and like most of us got through them with the...

Hi Sam.. I can imagine that the costs are high to go back and forth...but least you's are able to still see him and I can fully u see stand what you mean about keeping a step back at first with his son but its brilliant that you's are like your own little family when you's get to see him...

Thanks...I'll need it,awful at standing up in front n speaking!! I've to present for ten minutes on 'what activities/improvements have you lead or been involved with that have increased effectiveness or efficiency generation'. Got slides done and just writing narrative now for me! Dreading...

Try again tomorrow Sam!! Another day done and another day closer ?. Night all x

Hope you're feeling ok jael...another step closer chick x

I dunno what came over me before cos I'm still as equally frustrated but in a controlled manner...was a different me ha!! It's a good idea to read and see what options after this are Sam but as you've said,to go and pay someone else to weigh me in front of a crowd is not going to motivate me at...

Hope you're ok and not coming down with something!! I'm the opposite on this could sleep for England!! But I do get up at 5.15am so its always a struggle!! Have yourself an easy chill out night everything else can wait!! Found myself very emotional today...stuff going on at work that got...

I never really update this...as you can see from posts!! I tend to just read others' for inspiration!! x

Out the right way though Sam!!! Have a great day x

I may need to try the stuff out!! I seen that you'd been weighed in boots...there wasnt too much of a difference either which is good!!! With the weekend days that I had off I'm now on day 10, second weigh in on Saturday!! Hoping for a better loss this week...don't feel as bloated as normal at...

No I don't have any scales at home cos I'd be on n off all time, just a weekly trip to boots!! I'm not too bad...really struggled today n not sure why but stuck to it n feel a little sense of achievement! You're right though done days are a breeze n others not so much!! Did you find out whether...

Well done Sam you're doing brilliantly!!!x

Sorry its been a hard day for you Sam. You're doing a lot at the moment so not surprised you're tired and hungry!! Have yourself a chill out night and early to bed...I'll be following my own advice as I'm knackered today but sat filling in application form for new job....new body new job I'm...

Thank you!!! My legs are feeling it now though!! It was the second darkest one on the ketostix and I'm keeping on top if drinking so might have just been with being pooped!! Quiet night and two packs to look forward too!! Hope its going well for you jael001 x

Thanks Sam!! I'm over the poor loss as you say its a loss!! Been fell walking this morning and I'm shattered...more so cos of this diet I feel but stuck to it even when OH was eating mars bar n cake for energy (lucky lanky bugger)!! Came back and done another test if the sticks after yesterday's...

Well seems I may not be in ketosis...weighed in and only 2 pound off. I know its a loss and it is TOTM but disappointing for first weigh in and and how hungry I am. Given me a kick up the tush for this week!!x

Well done Sam for sticking to it through a busy part of your life!! Finally got some ketostix today cos these last two days ive been that hungry its hurt,and I'm still not there. Honestly absolutely gutted!! First weigh in tomorrow after having the weekend guiltingly off! I feel better in...

Well I started with good intentions but I slipped up at the weekend...and I was mad at myself cos these last 2 days back on it properly are like back at square one, but I enjoyed myself and drew a line under it. Actually couldnt wait to start back cos was bloated and felt horrible...constant...

Stick at it happylass...keep sipping at the water and it should curb your hunger. Good luck x

Yeah they are by the slim fast stuff...ours is with the medication. I have them instead quite filling n satisfies the chocolate craving!! Oh I don't know about that, I've been spinning over a year and its toned and built muscle more than anything. But il be sticking at it cos feels...

Pleased to hear its going well!! Have you tried the tesco crispy choc meal replacement bars...I have them instead if the exante ones as I find them powdery...everyone's different though. I've got the bad head today which I know does last n is an indication going in right direction. You keep...

How you getting in Sam at the end if day one?x

I done this for 6 week last year...just before a holiday and lost 18lb.having gained half of that I'm now aiming to lose 36lb which seems doable right now. These first days are the hardest and social situations but we'll get through them with the help if this site. I've a hen weekend this...

Hi Sam, I've also started today and feels like its going OK. Good luck with your journey and you seem focused on your goals, so hope you achieve everything you set out too!! Jody

Well after losing 18lb at the beginning of summer, going in holiday and not getting back on it I've put half of that weight back on. So starting again today with at least 36lb to lose and very very determined to do it!! Only problem being I've several celebrations coming along in the next few...

I have gone down a dress size and i know I am smaller, but want the scales to reflect as I've over 2 stone to lose!! I seem to be twining but it's just really got to me and I was starting to think what is the point yesterday. But I've continued on, and I'm giving it two week until I get...

Hi, I'm on my 7th week of Exante and I'm so disappointed now!! First week was great losing 11lb but then I got back into my normal exercise routine and just one a week was coming off. So this week I've made a decision to cut down my exercise fro 6 sessions to 2 a week, keeping with TS and I've...

oh are they likely to be on special offer!!! I'll have to keep a look out for that, but even whn they're 3 for £2.99 they're cheaper (and much nicer) than the exante!!!!

just tried my first one of these cos seen a thread saying they are ok...I'd definitely recommend! More satisfying than exante bars and the chocolatey taste feels like a treat!

hi Rachel!good luck on your diet...first time for a forum and exante for me too,but if you're out like me you'll fine this great support.its brilliant that you like stag a wide range of the products,and just shows how e dryn tastes are different!i can't stand any of the soups and love the...

thanks weightless1012.the first few days were hard but it gets easier,as long as you keep drinking the water.everyone tastes are different but i personally can't get any of the soups down,the porridge is honestly delicious quite sweet,the choc and orange bar i found quite dry and sickly.i...

Congratulations to you amarsaday that takes some determination to keep on track like you have!do you get weighed in tomorrow then?have you a goal date in mind?x

thank you amber!!

Some days are worse than others eh...and weekends are the worst!! But good luck for today...the thought of your weigh-in tomorrow will help you along!! and if you can get through your lunch today you should me set up and have the confidence for the rest of the diet! often find that the skinny...

Thank you!! I haven't got an exact target weight in mind (as you say anything off is a bonus) looking about 9st 7lb, but would be elated with 10st - started at 13st4lb. I am quite active with a larl bit of muscle and don't want to lose too much of that...so just see!! if i hadn't got a decent...

Well....just got weighed and 11 pound off!! Chuffed to bits cos had a sneaky drink last Sunday too! Feel fantastic and any cravings i had have gone and totally in the right mind set now! Thank you for your support,love this forum to share experiences and tips!

Well its my first weigh-in in the morning,it will be just over a week but iv had spinal injections and its also been TOTM so thought I'd wait as to not get disheartened - plus Saturday's are easier for me. Found myself really nervous and scared...think its me just wanting these last days to...

Yeah just been kettlecise myself and i felt myself go light headed towards the end but just slightly slowed the reps down and seemed fine.just had a porridge and necking water. First weigh in tomorrow so need all the help i can get.feel great in myself and already getting compliments but the...

thanks both for getting back,i ended up just having an early night last night so i wouldn't eat anything and woke up alright today.as i do exercise every day,all high intensity, i think il give the 200 extra cals a go Emma thanks,but if not working solution would be great wouldn't need three...

Hi, I'm coming up to my first full week (though not getting weighed until saturday as I'll be able to go every saturday morning) but today I went to my first exercise class since starting. I've always been active before starting exante doing 4 spinning classes, 2 kettlecise and a body attack...

hi I'm still sticking at it but i'm still hungry!really think i should go to working solution to try and keep energy up to do my exercise!but want the best results.can't decide!still don't like the soups though,need to get to tesco for these bars.x

thank you stepz!thats what i keep thinking...the end result!never been in a bikini before and will have to mid august so...stick at it!looks like we have similar starting weight and targets...good luck!

definitely going to try them!! feel better now at the end of day 2. still contemplating two exante and a low carb/low calorie meal....hopefully wake up with better attitude!!

I've just put half of them on ebay, yet to try the others but not looking forward to it. Gonna stick to what I like. Was close to throwing in the towel before and now toying with the idea of 2 bars and a low-carb meal!! hoping to get out of this rut soon!! What are the tesco bars like Sammy? x

so you wouldn't recommend them then!! Think I'm just going to order the porridge...got some of the choc orange bars which are quite sickly but edible for a change! All my family is going for a meal tonight so I'm staying away cos I'm rather hungry today!!

Can't get any of the soups down...gutted!!!:yuk: gonna have to see about selling them on and just order the porridge which i love!! day two is not going well:help2:

I also started yesterday...hows it going? I've ordered too many soups, cos tried the tomato and the thai chicken and couldn't eat either. gonna have to try the two other flavours and sell them on ebay - but iv found the porridge to be lovely!! good luck to you both!!

Phoenix101 well done on yiour weightloss....inspirational!! just starting out on day one and stories like yours are what will help me!!

Meant to say...seen a few of you have had movement issues...have anyone of you tried Potter's Herbal Cleansing Tablets from Holland and Barrett...better than senokot etc I've found

Thanks for the advice with the exercise, planned on having a few days off until I get used to things! Hoping to lose 55lb in total, but ideally want to go down 2 dress sizes. Got a wedding abroad with couples mid august so really hoping to lose for then...never been in a bikini so its a major...

HI...just been reading all your stories and you's are all doing great - regardless of gains and sts!! it's my first day today and only reason I believed there was a possibilty of me doing it was cos of this site and you's all! Keep up the good work!!

thanks time2go...il try both of them to try and help it down!! I'm sure an average of a stone a month will spur me on! Well done on your weight loss so far...brilliant How have you found you are energy wise? Despite my need for weight loss, I normally attend spinning/kettlebells 6 times a week...

Hi, I'm new to this diet and site but after reading A LOT of threads seemed the way to go! First day is nearly done and I feel fine, apart from dreading having soup! Any one any suggestions on how to improve the tomato and basil soup? When will it really get hard? I'm trying to 'prepare'!! Whats...
