So this week, I've decided to cut out any weight training and work at 95% cardio... The I do like weights! Lol. I'm considering training up as a personal trainer, course starts in a couple of weeks. I'm a bit wary, as I will, most likely, be the largest in the class. But I've seen how these...

So today is weigh day, and I haven't lost anything :(

It's an exciting day today, a pair of super skinny skinnies that I bought 3 and a half yrs ago, that never fit me, officially fit me. Lol albeit they're a size 18 and I can get comfortably into 16, I'm still chuffed that my big legs are trimming down! Happy days!

WI today! 3lbs down :D

I'm absolutely dying today, starving and I've already had 2 meals. I'm considering having an extra meal today, but will try my best not to! Throat is so so sore. Doesn't help that I went to a boxing class on Thursday and my top half is aching! My moods are all over the place, like the weather...

Hey! Finally caught up with your diary! I'm literally in the same boat as you! Hope you keep on it and get some positive results! X

Gosh I haven't visited your diary in a while! *hides* I think i got carried away with my love of food lol!

Soooo today is week 5 day 1, and it's been a bit of a disaster. I've felt crap all day, grumpy because I wanted chicken, and just overall annoyed. Had WI this morning, up 3lbs. Not happy. I swear I almost cried. Gonna end up weighing myself everyday this week just to make sure it's working Lol...

No idea! It's been sore since Sunday, it's getting annoying so just keeping it at bay with some painkillers when it acts up! X

Hopefully!

Lol thanks hun! I'm not feeling it so much anymore! Aching and tired with a bust knee! X

Soooo it's TOTM again for me :( second one on Exante! I really did wonder how/if Exante wud have an effect in my cycle, but if it has, only very slightly! Mum was telling me I look like I've gained some weight this week, and little sister said 'at this very moment in time, you look bloated and...

Oh wow! I'd b happy with £250 Lol ur myself something nice!

Thanks for popping by lynne! Xx

I know! And when other people don't notice, my dad gives me a million compliments Lol! For the first time in a long long time he's actually happy with something I'm doing lol

Hey everybody! I've been enjoying some nice crunchy food this week Lol its been good getting it out my system :) hopefully I'll still have lost smthng this week since I'm trying to burn off with gymming and runs! My cousin came back on Tuesday from a 5 week holiday, saw me ystrdy in the gym and...

Today's weigh in says I'm down another 3-4lbs! Scale just wudnt stop jumping between the 2 so I'm calling it 3.5lbs :) so in 3 weeks I'm down 1st 3.5lbs! Exciting times! Now to maintain at least this week! X

See, Im lucky like that, my family eats quite healthily and the only junk we have is ice cream, and It's ice cream i don't like Lol. Me and dad are the big foodies at home, he's been on a diet for a couple of months and I haven't been in the kitchen for more than 5 minutes at a time lol. But...

Lol yeah! Today I'm having Peri chicken with beansprouts cabbage and onion salad :D oh the crrrunchhh!

Lol im craving food so bad I've actually planned what I'm eating on my food week haha! I start on Wednesday, so only one more day to go! Having my first meal now and it's stodgy mushroom risotto. :/

Can't believe I'm awake at this time. Must start sleeping on time! I don't feel like I'm losing any more weight :( I'm excited about having an extra meal this week tho. How sad, I'm planning it lol. Wish I could lose it like the first week! Have had an upset stomach for past few days, really...

Pancakes!

Oooh thanks for that! I may try it today! I've been getting really hungry these days!

There's a thread here on minimins somewhere that gives you a list of what drinks you can have! I Googled it and it came up lol.... But Bouillon and coke zero are what I have... Sometimes green tea or peppermint! X

I've had a very difficult day today :( had an exam and was starving. Water was just not cutting it for me today. Drank loads, and loads! But it just wud not quench my thirst! Grr.

Oooh! That sounds quite tempting! But how wud that go with Exante? Is it acceptable? I already feel like I have too much leeway with drinking coke zero lol

Well done getting back into ketosis! Hope u get this job, hopefully it isn't too awkward to get to! X

First at 1, second about half 4 and last about half past 9ish!

Oooh forgot to post yesterday! Had my WI and I've lost 3lbs this week :D quite happy with that considering I had some eating out involved!

Hi marge! I'm doing alright Thank you, how r u?

Cauliflower rice? Where the hell did anyone get the idea for that?!

Hiiii! My days been alright, not been very hungry, I think I'm back in keto, excessive energy in abundance, and red blotchy/goosebump like patterns on my arms (as I had previously) and a sloshy belly! So Yay! Another happy moment for me this evening, ive been wearing a gold bangle for about 8...

Heyyy! good luck on your journey! Hope your first day is going well and you're not suffering too much! Any of the milkshakes are nice with coffee :D (banana vanilla chocolate strawberry or choc mint)... The toffee and the choc orange bars are yummy! As soon as you kick into ketosis you won't...

Oh Nooo! Don't worry about the job, fingers crossed you'll find something even better! Stay awaaay from the pizza!

Im gonna pee in a stick to see if it's here yet lol kinda dreading WI tomorrow! But at least I'm dropping dress sizes!

Yaaaay well done on your loss! X

Hi marge! I ended up having 2 :/ but they were very small portions. Especially compared to how I used to eat! This was practically nibbling Lol. Because I got so full, I ended up not having any of my Exante meals. Today I've been up since 7 with a very poorly little sister, and had 2 workouts...

Oh my LORD, no one said solid food wud be painful! Had a quarter chicken and salad, like... 3 chips and a spoonful of hot cookie dough. The paaaain! I'm not deviating ever again. The clothes I wore out made me look nice and slim (nice and loose) and by the time I'm home they're nice and tight...

Well, I ended up having a few lean mini chicken meatballs and some salad, well, I was literally forcefed. Lol so many lovely compliments from everyone! Hopefully I didn't mess things up too bad! X

Thanks everyone! I'm wearing some clothes today that didn't fit me 2 weeks ago, so exciting! We have a family gathering today, and I'm cutting up some fruit for the kids... So tempting!

Honk Honk!

Personally, I don't like them :/ the berry and the choc are nice, for the first few bites, and then they just get sickly sweet for me. Let me know if you like them and you can have mine! X

How are you coping with it? I know I'm finding it difficult now, it's taking a lot of willpower to not mess it up! X

Well done for not having a sneaky weigh! X

Loool I really like that! Haha I've picked the place and they do a nice salad so that's what I'll be sticking to! I've always been a snacker, take a bite here, a lick there kinda girl. I'm starting to find it quite hard now that I can't do that :/ but I guess I've gotta get rid of the bad habit...

That's amazing! Well done Libra! The numbers on the scales are gonna get smaller and smaller now! X

Can't wait to get into the 12's!

Hey marge, I didn't run yesterday, had an evenin class, so rather than run, I hit the gym for a quick half an hour! But that shudnt have made a difference since its something I do regularly anyway :/ just coming to the end of totm now too, maybe that's the reason I'm everywhere! Hopefully I...

So, I'm guessing I spoke too soon when I said I feel full. I've been starving all day, and no matter what I do, the feeling won't disappear. I've locked myself in my room to prevent any damage. Lol and I've just remembered I had chocolate in my room from my sisters. Lol the things I remember at...

Hi Susie! It's going alright, almost through my first litre of water, just had a choc orange bar too! In a sort of good mood today, bopping along to happy music at work, with the odd dance Lol. Feeling raaather full! I got some ketostix ystrdy, haven't used them yet though! How's your day going? X

I was actually so hungry yesterday! Had cravings for Brussels sprouts Lol. That's 2 veg I don't like that I want now, Brussels sprouts and beansprouts. Lol other than that I'm goin good really. A little achey from strength exercises ystrdy but ok nonetheless! Have fun on your evening tonight...

Thank u margeeeee I'm so proud of myself :D

I feel like I haven't drunk enough water today too.... Personally I think that not drinking enuff does hav an effect on your weight loss, whether it actually does or doesn't, I'm not sure! X

Thank u Susie! I can't stop grinning lol

Hey patsy, did u have another go? X

Don't worry about going off track, ive read loads on here that go off, but as long as ur back that's all that counts! X

It's probably best to do your weigh in this morning, most people are usually at their heaviest at the end of the day, so the reading's inaccurate, try and wait until morning if you can and do it after your morning 'toilet'! X

Today's weigh in Eek! I've lost 11lbs this week! And it's totm too! Was so excited to see a 14 on the scale! Woo! Talk about motivation! I was dreading getting on to the scales to be honest, was a bit scared I hadn't lost anything else :/ haven't had a meal yet, water water water! Happy...

Ended up trying the choc mint milkshake instead, definitely Tring strawberry coffee tmrw! X

Woohoo! Well done hun! Amazing loss, keep it up! :D

The choc orange one is a little dry for me tbh, but edible, the toffee nut and raisin one is reeeeaaallly nice :D

Thanks Susie! I feel like you're all my new best friends giving me all the encouragement! <3

I might try that! Though I'm not a fan of mfp, I prefer noom for my logging of everything, but I'm gonna see if I can find map my walk! X

I know this is gonna sound a little silly, but yaaaaay! You lost something! That's always better than nothing! Just blame the scales Lol, I'm sure it'll have been more! Xx

Thank u darcy! Xxxx

And now I feel like eating meatballs Lool oh what are these feelings! Well done getting through the first week hun! Xx

I totally know how u feel! I have to keep physically reminding myself to eat, even though I have evil food thoughts. I'm finding the key is to set my times and just eat whenever I'm seeing it's time to eat Lol. I'm being tempted at my aunts right now with a huuuuge plate of fruit and bottles of...

Yeah the banana is so nice! I think I'm gonna be trying coffee in the strawberry one today, since I don't like strawberry! Lol. WI is tomorrow! Eek! I hope I've lost a bit more than my sneaky weigh ins! How's your day going today? X

Hooooonk!

The end of day 6...i was dreading today to be honest, I go to an evening class and always stop for food with a friend before class... Had my first meal at 12ish, only water before that (just over a litre). Went for a quick jog, and made up what I thought was a vanilla milkshake with some coffee...

Wooo! Well done! I'm So excited for u! I hope Mines a nice big loss too! Xxx

Wahay! X

Good luck today! I've managed to leave my first meal until lunch today! I thought I'd weigh in after exactly a week so that wud be the morning of day 1 week 2?

Glad u managed to resist! I doubt u wud have been able to! Good luck with ur ketosis... X

Thank u marge! It's taken me a while to get to it, and even though it's not given me much positive weight loss results, at least it's increasing my stamina! X

I've never really measured how far I run to be honest, I just go out, run til I get to my rest point, stop for a few mins, run to the turn back point, and run back, stopping at rest point... In all, it takes me abt 45 mins! It started off as a stroll to be fair Lol, but I've worked up to it!

Honk so far!

Heyyy, how are you after the temptation?x

Aaah! I'm excited about your weigh in! Can't wait to hear your results! Xx

Hello everyone! I've had quite a busy day surprisingly for a Sunday! Went for a run, even though it was raining.... Started to sort my room out into a more 'Exante-friendly' area. By that I mean removing any traces of junk food I have hidden from younger brothers and sisters! All the wrappers...

Aaah! I'm guessing the red berry bars are just as disgusting then! I'll try freezing them and see if it's any better thanks!

Is bouillon nice?

So, day 4, it's been ok, had a choc milkshake hot with coffee, then a nut raisin and toffee bar. And then, got excited about the double chocolate bar, oh my goodness it is bloody viiiile *killer* tastes like chocolate and sticky toffee pudding in a treacle kind of texture! And to top it off...

Focus on your goal hun! U can do it! X

Try not to think about the hunger, distract yourself, drink plenty of water! These feelings won't last too long! X

I've been like that today, not hungry but wanting normal food. And I'm only on day 4! Can't even imagine day 9!but well done for not cracking! X

I'm gonna try and add some full body toning into my routine... Maybe moisturise twice a day... Pretty sure I can see the marks on my arms already... Eek!

I've had the same thing! Hopefully it's a sign that ketosis has kicked in haha :p how's your day going? X

Lol no sticks it is! Urgh, I had my bar a little early today, just because I was excited to try it... (toffee raisin and nut). Just after 3 rather than... Nowish I guess! Erm... I feel like I'm constantly thinking about food. Lol and I'm not even hungry! How does that work Lol. -_- another thing...

Atleast you got through it and that's the main thing! X

:D good luck xx

The beginning of day 4. Whilst the first few days have been plagued with tiny headaches, a stomach making weird noises, gas, and some random aches, the plus side to them, I have dropped some weight, face looks smaller already as does belly, and surprisingly enough I had loads of energy yesterday...

Yay! Well done you!

Hoooonk!

Hey, scrolling through messages on the forum, I do remember seeing someone really liked the shep pie... I'll have a quick look and see if u can find who it is so u can ask if they want to swap?

I'm in awe! Ur such an inspiration! Thank u for sharing ur story xx

Lol im trying to save my double choc ones! Only my dad and a sister don't know about it, dad was dead against it, saying it will effect me in the long run and stuff. I couldn't be bothered to argue! But personally, I don't even care how I get to my goal weight anymore as long as I get there. I...

Thanks for that smidge! I ended up having a vanilla shake hot with coffee. Thought I'd save the bars for 'special' occasions since I like them!

Tickerfactory.com.... Copy and paste the link into your signature! X

The amount of food places I've had to walk past today with my eyes closed! My friend, bless her, even steered me a different route haha. Food is so... Important? Lol

Food packs finally arrived! Just in time for lunch Lol. I had a chocolate orange bar! Time for evening meal now, can't decide if I shud have a bar or milkshake! :D I'm normally never cold, everyone's starting to ask questions now, questions I don't really want to answer *grumbling* got myself a...

Hey everyone, ive had a milkshake this morning, a choc orange bar for lunch and I'm tryna decide if I want a bar or a shake for evening meal... Can I even have another bar today? Or is it one bar a day kinda thing? X

Hey, did u manage to hold on until lunch time? X

Hey Patsypal3! The thing I'm dreading is going shopping Lol, hopefully the washing machine feeling in my belly won't return! Just as i typed that I felt my stomach go weird lol. I'm sat at work, gettin things confused, feel like I'm still half asleep! But we can do this! One more hard day to go...

No washing machine mode today! That's good, no hunger either! Haven't even had my first shake yet! Mum seems to think I've lost some weight already lol. I must say, only the beginning of day 3 and my clothes r feeling slightly looser! I usually get too excited when they're loose and end up...

So, day 2,some high points and some low. On the plus side, with all the temptations, the fish and chips, the baked potatoes, the flans and ice cream, all the TV adverts, I'm still 100% on this diet. I have a headache, I feel like I'm dehydrated, my mouth is constantly dry, and bad breath and no...

Good luck! I'm only on day 2 myself, I'm hoping it eventually gets better! X

They told me when I ordered on Monday it wud be 2-3 days, spoke to them today and they said it's out of stock and will be dispatched in 2-3 days... Grrr. But on the website it says they're in stock. *sigh* it's OK, I'm not giving up! Seriously testing me though! And I've been so hungry today...

So, day 2. I couldn't help myself and stood on the scale this morning; pleasant surprise, 3lbs down woo! Day wise, Not bad... No more lemon and ginger water for me though! Have had a headache since I've started but I will not give in! Still waiting for the rest of my food pack to arrive, Exante...

Oh my gosh, dammit! I totally forgot about the citric acid! Eek. No more for me then! Thanks for the reminder! X

I'm Exante total solutions!

So, today was day 1 for me. This morning I was feeling so excited and confident.... Had meal 1 about half 10 at work... Went for a jog about 2,had meal 2 at half 3ish.. Meal 3 was half 7 and then to the gym between 8.15 and 9.30...i haven't drunk as much water during the day today, but before...

I'm half way through my first milkshake... Strawberry. Kinda tastes like strawberry biscuits, considering I don't like strawberry milkshake! Good luck with your weigh in! I've gotta wait until next Wednesday, if I even last that long! Biggest test is going to be going to college in the evenings...

hi Darcy! thanks for the reply! I've actually bought a new journal last week to do exactly that! thought it would be best to keep a note of my moods and how i feel! I hope I don't get hungry doing this, its gonna make me turn to biscuits :break_diet:

hey everyone, i'm starting exante total solutions tomorrow, and as excited as i am, i'm kinda nervous! what can i expect in my first few days/weeks? so far everyone seems to really like the diet, i've opted for the milkshakes and bars personally, should i have gone for a bit of a mix? any little...

hey this might be a bit late, but the best thing for stretch marks i've found is either cocobutter oil - vaseline does a gel type thing thats good - or dove intensive care for extra dry skin - i know its not for stretch marks, but its awesome. oh and drink plenty of water. ive been using the...

Oh my god! U look amazing! Well done! X

Glad to know I'm not the only one! The worst bit is that people, including my own family, think I don't do anything to try and do something to stop my weight practically spiralling out of control! I don't know if they're actually embarrassed of me, but I FEEL like they are, that's the problem...

hey :) ok so, i've just come across this site, and this thread. So i'm 22, and need to lose 6-8 stones. I'm struggling so much. I randomly gained almost 3 stones within a few months - hadnt changed my diet or anything. so went to the doctors just before christmas time, and they came up with all...
