    Poor Customer Service from Exante

    Think of it the other way tho, if you had ordered when it was on offer and the next day after you received it the price jumped up would you be offering to pay them the difference?

    Weigh in :)

    Have lost 3lb :) Could be more could be less as weighing on new scales after leaving cambridge to do slim and save and having to buy myself a set, it was either that or go to my parents once a week! So next week will know a definate loss, either way it's going down!

    What meals are best?

    I really liked the normal chilli but just had the tomato chilli and did not enjoy it at all, it had the same tomato taste as the Cambridge tomato soup which made me ill

    Wheres the sweet?

    I liked the taste of the oatmeal, just need to get the consistency right, would prob be better in a pan but can't be bothered with the extra faff in the morning before work plus extra washing up! Will give the porridge another go as I liked the texture, just need to adjust it to my tastes I...

    Wheres the sweet?

    Had the sweet porridge for breakie, not sweet at all and hardly tasted of anything, even when I added cinnamon. Wasn't horrible but can't see me getting more

    Anyone been on cambridge

    I've just switched from Cambridge and am liking it so far. So far I've had the white choc and lemon bar which I surprisingly liked, only ordered one to give it a try but I'm not the biggest fan of lemon but I didn't just want to write it off without trying it. Also had the oatmeal which was a...

    Starting today!

    Thanks everyone :) Been following Cambridge for the last weeks tho do not so much of a shock to my system! Also means I wont get the normal large first week weight loss but I've been losing steadily so far and lots of inches so I'm happy! Looking forward to including some veg with dinner...
  105. stephanees

    What's the difference between....

    Ive actually just switched cos of the price With slim and save you still get all the nutrients ect but you need to have 4 packs a day to get the full amount If you decide to only have 3 you can have a 100g of protein too but they also say take a multivitamin to get all the nutrients. On...

    Exercises recommended for legs and arms??

    Hi I have jillian michaels 30 day shred DVD and find that's pretty good and gives you a full body work out including toning (you work legs and arms at the same time) and cardio and abs split into ciruits, there are 3 levels that you work up, meant to be spending 10 days on each and work up but...

    Chilli and tomato chilli?

    Thanks!
  109. stephanees

    Chilli and tomato chilli?

    My order arrived this morning, bang on time too!! Only prob is I ordered 5 chilli con carne and 5 tomato chilli but I have received 10 packs that just say chilli, but 5 in white packets and 5 in silver. Are they all chilli con carne or half and half, if so how do I tell the difference?
  110. stephanees

    Have taken the plunge!!

    I am moving over to slim and save from Cambridge, my delivery arrives Saturday morning do will be starting then, until then I'm finishing off my Cambridge products. The decision was based purely on cost, I was on four Cambridge packs a day cos of my height, and this month (payday to payday)...

    Considering switching from cambridge

    Hi everyone, I have been following Cambridge for the past 5 weeks and like it (as much as you can like not eating :S) and am thinking of switching to s+s purely for the cost reasons- 28 days worth is going to work out £100 cheaper including the Saturday delivery. Has anyone else done the same...
  112. stephanees

    anybody out there....

    I done day 1 of the 30 day shred and went to bed straight after I was that knackered!

    Size 18 = ???

    Im 5ft 8 was 17 8 and a size 20 was a size 18 around 16 stone and at 15 stone my 16s were getting tight. I think a lot of it also depends on your build and where you buy the clothes from, even then sizes can differ, I had two pairs of trousers from sainsburys, both the same size but one pair...

    CD Buddies

    I do the same with my soup, I nip into the kitchen when its empty, im lucky that my part of the office is next door to it and you can hear the comings and goings, and put it in a bowl before anyone notices and everyone just thinks I am having soup, albeit quite watery soup! I have steadily been...

    Week 8 :-(

    Do you measure your inches at all? I only lost a pound this week on my 3rd weigh in but lost about 5 inches and thats what's keeping me going holding out for a bigger loss next week as I know I've been 100% no cheating and my body just needs to catch up

    Making shakes less lumpy?

    I've never actually thought of using the hand blender, but then I never had any thing deep enough to use it without stuff splashing everywhere, I can now use it with the shaker tho if I feel like ice and at least the shaker doubles up as a cup so saving on the washing up! I was starting to feel...
  120. stephanees

    Making shakes less lumpy?

    It probally could have done with being shaken a bit longer, it's just my arms are knackered from work last night and this morning and could not shake it anymore than what I did, I might get my b/f to do the next one and see if that makes a difference. Luckilly I've planned a bar and a tetra for...

    Making shakes less lumpy?

    Hey guys I'm on my 4th week of the diet now and having got fed up of cleaning my smoothie maker everytime I made a shake, I have invested in a shaker with a mixer ball. I have just made my first shake with it but still found I had small lumps. Does it make a difference if you add the powder...

    disappointing 3rd weigh in...

    only lost 1lb (tho im sure its 2 accoring to my calculations but hey ho) i wasnt expecting a huge weight loss due to TOTM after having my pill get a bit screwed by the diet but my clothes are a lot looser than they were so i guess i was expecting more :confused: hopefully it will show next...

    Coping around food when its your job?

    How do people not eat when their job is based around food? I work all week in a office which is great as it keeps me occupied and set lunch breaks ect but at the weekends I work as a waitress and that's where I am worried I am going to fall down in this diet- picking and eating the food...
