Thank you, fingers crossed ..

I've always been bigger, sometimes really big - like now -sometimes a smaller big. I need to do this again to take control of my eating. I eat at nights, day eating is fine but in the evenings I eat too much. The plan is to start with 5 packs a day and keep busy in the evenings by making myself...

Thanks both, I've always exercised despite being big so it's not a chore....it's the eating that's the prob!

So far so good, after losing via Exante a couple of years ago I'd nearly put it all back on.... 3 days in and it's going well, I had a sneaky weigh in and am 7lbs down already! Great incentive to keep going :) 3 swims this week too...let's see how long I can keep going!

Well, it took me another few weeks and a few pounds on to start.... done 3 days and I had a sneaky weigh in to keep me going.... half a stone gone already :)

Hi good luck, I'm just starting again too.....I mix Exante & slim and save, works for me....although now exante do meals I might stick with that, when I did it before exante didn't have meals so I used slim and save. I still have a few left so will eat that and then decide...

Hi, I'd like that, reckon I need all the help I can to stick at it....

Hi, Ive had the porridge at work - I make it at home, use a but more water, add cinnamon and eat it cold....quite like it and just say its sachet porridge...take the bar without the wrapping? Take a meal with some veg already in a pot to microwave, that looks normal....have made a meal and kept...

Hi, I'm another person who puts it back on, I do ok for a while and then just can't stop eating. I eat when hungry, when not hungry, when tired & when not tired...when happy, when sad etc etc Last time I told myself that I've had a lifetime of eating and drinking nice things which helped me...

Last year I lost about 2 stone on exante & ended up just under 16 stone....I felt much better in myself but I stopped doing it. I've gradually put on the pounds and have completely lost it food wise and wine wise in the last month....guzzle pig city...1 1/2 stones back on, feel so fat...

2nd start, lost 2stone first time round....put on 5 lbs which is rubbish! I have 2 weeks of sachets etc left, going to go for it, starting today....oh yes I can.... 16 stone 6 lbs today

Doing lots of exercise, yesterday & today burnt off about 900 cals at the gym & sticking to it but no huge weight loss, 2lbs this week, loads thinner so taking heart from that ...

MY OH is now doing this - as am I, he's been doing it for 4 days so afr and feels absolutely rubbish, so much so he's in bed... I've been fine, no probs, anyone else felt this yuck for 4 days? Ta...

Just one pound this week but it's still a pound - done well all week, weird how this works at times...!

At the moment I like the porridge cold more than hot, you just have to stir a bit as it cools to avoid a skin forming, I make it & then add cold water & stir, it ends up a bit like a thick yoghurt when done. Sometimes put spices in - cinnamon, nutmeat etc, on hols had a couple of chopped brazil...

I would like to lose 4stone by Xmas....I know I can if I stick to it.....!

Might sound weird, but try it! I'm doing a mix of Exante & Slim & Save - I missed savoury so do this for tea and exante for brekkie & lunch - works a treat for me and you get quite a big portion :)

Porridge is good but it is a bit sweet, I also like it cold - I make it with more water than for hot, it sets and it's nice!

I can't do bars, they just make me want to eat!

I tried this, but didn't like them much...mebbe need to try again

So, back in the zone - finally, 6lb loss on hols last week - amazing! I discovered that the porridge is good cold and good to take out of lunch on walks etc! Finally happy with meals etc too - shakes/porridge & slim & save cottage pie + chilli for tea, together they are tasty and quite a meal :)

I am dragging myself back, 3lbs since Sat, but I want to eat, not hungry, just want to eat...hey ho

End of term today, was given lots of chocolates - lovely to receive gifts and thanks but shared them all with other er staff and didn't eat a single one....also had porridge instead of the last day fish and chip Lunch, had a tin of tuna and will have a glass of wine.....

Hiya ,well done on your fab weight loss, ,I ordered some slain and save samples....lovely to eat savoury food....didn't like their shakes though & can't do bars, they just make me want to eat another one, think its the chewing thing... :)

Slowly dragging myself back into this, god day today, mostly good yesterday....bought some slim and save meal samples, it's lovely to have savoury food, think that when all my current sachets run out I'll buy some meal sachets, oatmeal + exante shakes....will se, going to weigh on Sat...fingers...

Another goodish day, exante x 2 + big loser bar ( first time...sooooo chewy) + tin of tuna + 2 hours walking...

Well done you too then! Definitely helps to write things down... X

Well done me, stuck to it and have walked for 3 hours..... Just had half a tin of tuna but that's fine :)

Just for me ........ 1. You like feeling thinner 2. You know you can do this diet 3. Stop spoiling it by eating when you're bored/tired 4. 3 weeks before your holiday, if you try you could lose another stone 5. Just do it.....

Have lost it a bit at the moment, I have curry craving and have just ordered a portion of chicken tikka with a chickpea curry....I need to eat this and then write down why I want t carry on losing weight. I've doing really well and have surprised myself...but....as usual, when life gets tough...

Ta...and you as well! I have a tuna thing at the moment so will try to stick that for tea :)

Weigh in tomorrow for me, end of the month...reckon 20lbs for the month as it's seems stuck at the moment... I'm celebarating a month of mostly exante with a lovely tin of tuna :)

I'm finding that keeping a tin of tuna with a bit of mayo in the fridge helps when I want another mouthful of something, takes the edge off....another w/e with eating, birthday do, tried to keep to protein but had alcohol...hey ho

Hah!! Hadn't noticed that, thank you :)

Thank you :)

Well done indeed!!!

Half a tin of tuna and a piece of chorizo today as well as 3 exante....glad it was only that, just want to eat

Thank you both :)

Thank you Miss P :) I weighed myself on Mon am after eating 2 meals this w/e and was astonished to see I had gone up 6lbs!! Thankfully that has all gone now but have only lost 1lb this week in reality...next weigh on Sat.

I'd like to lose 14lbs this month....

Hi, thanks you both :) Stuck to it today, knew I would as I'd told myself I knew that at times I would need some food x

This weekend is the first time I have felt hungry on exante, so had food yesterday and today, next weigh in will be Sat....

Being very tired from long work days has always been a trigger for me to eat and eat, today has been one of those days.....managed to not stuff my face with rubbish but have eaten quite a lot but I knew at times I would. I also know that I will get better at not doing this, exante is teaching me...

Fab stuff re weigh in, keep going!

Really tired today, had a walk but am falling asleep so have decided I need a food day...back to it tomorrow..

Hi - thanks!...just got in from work, a mere 15 hour day...tired, having a glass of wine...no food tho

Don't need to eat at all, not hungry, but have 'want to eat' syndrome....or more likely 'want to eat a lot syndrome...'....better think of something to do instead !

Well done!

Well done!

Thanks everyone, planning on keeping going :)

Thanks everyone, yes, really pleased, amazing to think I was a stone heavier 2 weeks ago!

Hiya, yes ta, another 5lbs :)

5 lbs so that's a stone in 2 weeks!

2nd week weigh in tomorrow, so far it's 5lbs..but felt knackered etc today so have eaten more exante stuff than should have...porridge, shake, 2 bars, soup...

Well, the food was good but had too much & too much wine out of habit I think. Reckon exante is going to teach me I don't need it which is good :)

Hiya, I am a stone down, staed the protein thing a few days before exante, hence chicken & chickpea meal this eve with a little wine...

Ta, having a meal this eve and a glass of wine then back to it tomorrow :)

Ta and well done too!...I'm wishing for a savoury exante bar....

Well done!

Blimey, fantastic weight loss, well done!

9 lbs :)

Thank you! Bit chuffed here too :)

Hmm yes, next time, much less water & see what happens, had been hoping they were not sweet...but they are...

After following the instructions, it's twice been a runny mess, should it be thick?! :)

9lbs since last Weds but 11 since a week last Sat :-)

Ta, me too!

Today is the day before my first weigh in - well weekly one anyway, have been peeking sneakily! Feel fine, bit tired at night but doing pretty well, a couple of little slips such as a glass of wine and a very small diet G&T...if that keeps me going then I don't mind that. I've told myself I can...

Fab list, must feel great to have achieved all that by losing weight :)

Hi, I echo that and for us all, stay positive!

Hi, good thanks, done all the eating and have been for a walk, staring at a small can of diet G&T ....:)

Hi, well done on keeping going!... I add the marigold bouillon to the soups...they taste MUCH better :)

Keep going!

Hi, I do the sparkly water thing too, fills me up even if it does make me burp!

Hi, no I haven't & not that fussed really, if I'm losing then I reckon I must be in it...!

Well done on doing Day 2 - how's day 3 going? I'm on...day 5, still fine, today I have walked quite a bit and burnt off more calories than I've eaten...feel fine so won't have any more :)

Hi, sore-loser, just read your diary, fab for keeping going & the weight loss! I startd last Weds, so far doing ok, fingers crossed!

Morning - banana shake with the orange flavoured water... nice!

Hi, I like the soups if I add a bit of boullion to it, much nicer & I'm with you on the savoury, wish there was a savoury bar...

Well done! For me, I know I will sometimes have undiety things but even with the wine today I was still only at about 800 cals after the exercise this morning...just not too often!

Hi, been on it since Weds...I feel fine but habits are the thing I need to break, ended up with a piece of fish in breadcrumbs from the freezer, ate the fish, not breadcrumb but did have another glass of wine......

Going to fail 100% today unless a miracle happens, had a glass of white with a friend...now I want a curry!

Just been to the gym, did a 'fat burning' walk mostly on the treadmill with a bit of big hill stuff to stack up the cals burnt... 550cals on the treadmill + 10 mins swim to relax...feel absolutely fine :)

Thank you :)

Well I can only try! Will let you know if I manage it or not :)

Morning!... I know, so after this week will try to do it once a week...

And thank you MissP! :)

I know I shouldn't weigh myself every and I will stop doing it.....but in this first few days it's motivating to see it go down, 2lbs more this morning so half a stone since Weds :)

Hi there, why not have some chicken etc when you exercise - a bit more food but not lots and think you'll still make the 600 cals mark, I've been thinking about this too because despite being over 17 stone I am quite fit, lots of walking in the hills, swimming etc, recently been going back to a...

I sometimes put a bit of skimmed milk in....

Wow, just read your diary, massive well done, fingers crossed I can stick to it!

Thank you, so far so good!

Well so far for me I'm surprised at my lack of want to eat normal things... both of you have great weight losses, especially 'leedsforever!'...I want mine to look like that too!...day 3 for me here, long way to go :)

Thank you, I will! :)

Sneaky peek at the scales this morning, now 17.7 - which is an amazing 5lbs in just over 2 days, deffo motivation to keep going!

I know, and breaking long standing habits....

Boooo, just ate a 2nd bar - just wanted to eat, which is part of my problem.....

Hi, thank you and me too...might have a weigh in tomorrow morning just to see!

Day 2 good so far, went to bed early last night & watched a film to help me not eat :)

Thank you! Got lots to lose .....

Still doing well, no want for food which is fab! Might go to bed early though :)

I do that normally, well pretty much but ta :)

Thank you, hungry now so having a shake :)
