Well I've been back on packs (not 100%) since Monday, I keep nibbling, grrrrr.. That's where my problems started, it may still be that I'm not feeling 100% still, but I really need to get my ass in gear, on the plus side I am another 2lb lighter since the sickness bug and eating spell took ove...

Well started back on packs yesterday, had breakfast and dinner as a shake, then stomach felt dodge again, ended up having chicken and a little couscous late on as I got hungry. Day 2 back on plan and I'm still not feeling 100% but a little more positive today, I've gone through a box of skinny...

Well done, I've found it better this time to tell everyone then I have more reason to stick with it. Keep up the good work. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Had my planned night off tonight, made chilli for everyone and a few snacks, can't believe how little I managed to eat, let alone drank my recycling bins normally full after we've had family over, think I poured most of mine away. Feeling a bit better now, going to have tomorrow off then back...

Good luck for today. If you do indulge don't beat yourself up about it, the main thing is to get straight back on plan. You will be very surprised how quickly the weeks go on plan and when you look back at the changes in your body you will be equally surprised. Sent from my iPhone using...

At least your back with it today, that's the most important thing. Hopefully you'll be back in ketosis in no time. Have a good day. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Well done, it does make you feel so much better, keep it up. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Still not feeling much better. Only ate toast yesterday and really don't fancy the packs today. I've lost another 1lb but need to be careful. I was planning being off plan this weekend anyway, so might just restart Monday. I'll see how I go. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Well done on day one, I find it really easy to post in my diary as no one knows me so I can say what I like and how I really am feeling. Post all your struggles it does somehow make you feel better. All so all the highs, you will get much more support on here than you probably ever had at a...

Eerrghh! I feel so ill this morning. Was really sick last night along with my OH and one of the children. My OH is adamant it's something we've eaten, not sure how that works when I've only had my packs?? My youngest has just started nursery so think she's bringing everything home but just not...

Good luck, stick with it and you will see the results. I'm just starting week 4 and I've lost 19lb, even im in shock with it. Drink plenty of water I lose more the more I drink. Your taste buds may not think much to the packs to start but it does change. If you start with headaches take some...

Definately a good idea to make it work for you. It's better to make a sensible choice for eating a low carb meal than to get so frustrated and eat rubbish because it wasn't planned. Last time I did it I picked the whole way through, but looking back still had good losses but because I wasn't...

Thanks, I have struggled a little this weekend but still with it. I'm determined it won't be a last minute summer thing this year. As long as I lose something every week I'm happy. Good luck and think of the results when things get tough. Someone once told me nothing tastes as nice as being slim...

3 week weigh in. 19lb loss, and I'm in the 15's. Really pleased I can tell with my clothes too. Hoping for another good week this week as I will be off plan next weekend, looking forward to it, just hoping the motivation stays with me for restart on Monday. I'm doing the food Saturday night so...

Hi, I started 1lb heavier than you at 17st 4lb. I'm not at the end of week 3 and the losses are really keeping me going. I am a serial weighed (daily most of the time) and I find it keeps me going, but I know it could easily go the other way, as long as I know I've done it 100%, I've nothing to...

Hi, I'm just pleased I've stuck to it this time. The 4 packs are only 150kcal each so still have 600kcal. I just find it nicer to think i can have the extra pack at night especially as I work shifts. I love the pancakes that I've just about mastered. My clothes are already getting loose, I've...

Another sneaky weigh in this morning, 19lb lost... Can't believe it. I also can't believe the motivation is still there. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Thanks. I'm on day 16 today, I've lost another 1lb so 15lb in total so far. I'm feeling really motivated now. I am having a hungry day today so trying to keep busy before bed. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Thank you. I've restarted a few times but can't believe how easy I'm finding it this time. I'd definitely recommend the 4 packs a day. Good luck with the restart. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Yay day 12, sneaky weigh in this morning and I've lost 14lb total. I even got asked if I'd lost some weight today talk about motivational. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Thanks. Seem to be finding it so much easier with 4 packs. I last did it with the 3 packs. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Thanks. Weighed in first thing this morning:- Day 1 95lb to lose Week 1 -10lb . 85lb to lose I'm happy with that but still feeling bloated today. I found that because I worked shift I got in to a habit of a glass of wine a night when I was off work as my 'treat'. I am now putting £5 a week...

Weigh day tomorrow. I can tell I've lost a bit of weight, but I feel really bloated tonight. Quite enjoying the packs and having more control over my weight. I've started seasoning they meals and can stomach them now. Need a non stick pan for my pancakes as I quite enjoyed the one I did but it...

Hi Kelly. Just reading through your diary, you can definitely achieve your target and you have a good incentive at the end of it. I agree with your idea of losing bulk of weight then using the packs as part of 5:2 diet, my biggest problem when doing this diet previously has been going straight...

Day 3, I'm waiting for my 6 week supply of packs to arrive. Had the spaghetti bolognese yesterday and remembered how much I disliked the meals. The hunger as virtually gone. Headache gone, looking forward to trying the bars and pancakes. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins.com

Thank you both. I've stocked up on paracetamol and that is keeping the headache at bay. Day 2 started, this is one of my LONG days, up at 7 with the kids and working later till 3am :( I've tried to stagger the times of my packs and intend to keep busy today to keep my mind off it. My baby girl...

I have started my Exante diet yet again. Day 1 today. I've given myself 10 weeks of total solutions to lose half my weight!!!! I'll re assess when I reach the 10 weeks. I'm doing the 4 pack diet as it suits me better with working shifts. So here goes Day 1, 95lb ish to lose. I've had...

Hey Sparkley, was wondering how you were doing. The pictures are amazing. Not far to go now compared to how far you've come. I'm back on slimming world and going back to class, started and failed so many times this year trying to do it myself, I need someone to see if I've had a good or bad...

We'll done Anne, not far to go now, bet it has given you a bit of a lift.

Midweek update, prob won't weigh now until middle/end of next. Had quite a good first week, been poorly for the first part. But because I was off work I was more organised. 3 lb lost since Monday. Really pleased with that.

Thanks Lynn. I've got to be honest there is a lot more support on here than the SW pages. Doing really well this week, I've been poorly and out for a meal and I've lost 3lb since Monday. As long as I stay organised, I should be ok. I try to plan the night before for the following day. Hope your...

Hi Anne, I'm trying to do it myself. Believe it or not I used to be a SW consultant, 14years ago. If I start to struggle I may go to class I know a few friends who go, I'm doing ok so far, feel really bloated though I'm hoping because totm. I sorted all my size 16 clothes yesterday, there were...

Hi, I'll join the march challenge. I've just started slimming world again, don't go to class but thinking of joining online. I've got 75lbs to lose. I would love to do a 10k or half marathon in September (it's the first one my town has ever held) so need to get plenty off to start training. I...

Thank you

Day 1 going well. Have approx 75lbs total to lose. Breakfast:- Bacon Egg Mushrooms Tomatoes Dinner:- Bowl salad Tuna Egg New potatoes Chilli dressing ?? Tea:- Gamon Chips Broccoli Cauliflower Carrots Strawberries Blueberries Yoghurt Merengue Super will be weetabix and milk If anyone...

After doing slimming world several times, the most recent being 2 years ago whilst pregnant, I have been on and off different diets since. I lost 3 stone on Exante last year but really struggled and kept snacking. So I'm back with slimming world, my old favourite diet. I've planned my food week...

Wow Anne you look great, just shown my OH and he said 'well that should give you some motivation'. I will keep popping back on here to see how your going. Keep in touch. Can't wait to see you at goal. I might not be far behind you if I keep up my food plans. Going to sit down each Sunday and...

Thanks.

Hey Sparkley, keep up the good work, I've given up. Can't get my head in gear no matter how much I want it. Switching to slimming world, give it a go, at least I can adapt meals for us all to eat, at least the if I pick I can actually have it. Nearly in to march now and I'm sure within the next...

We'll finally made the decision to give up on Exante!!! Nothing to do with the diet just me, can't get my head in gear, I have a good few days then want to eat. Switching to slimming world. I have listed loads of packs on eBay if people want to take a look. They finish Saturday morning. Good...

Hi Cleo.B, don't worry I did 'baby' moves initially, as you get stronger you WILL be able to do it, like sparkley says just stick with it, the more you do it the better and stronger at the moves you will get, if you want to give the shred a go play it on YouTube, it will give you a feel for it...

Well done Anne, I would be at my target if I was still losing with you. I am starting Friday one more time, if I find I can't stick to it I'm going on to slimming world need to get some weight off before I start running, I know I can do it but at the minute my motivation is easily swayed :( its...

Good luck for the morning sparkley, everything crossed for you ;)

Hi, I started this challenge believe it or not. But every time a do a couple of days I end up with a trapped nerve in my back (I do suffer with back problems) if you see the updates from sparkley she started the challenge with me a did and is still doing amazing. At the beginning she struggled...

Hi Cleo.B, you don't need to be on exante post away. Gone a bit quiet though. I do need to restart :/

Good luck for Wednesday sparkley, you can do 3lb I'm sure. I could do with just a little of your motivation. I'm back with it *again* on Friday , start a fresh, at least a month without interruptions. I NEED to do this now if I've got time to get fit for at least a 10K run but would love to try...

Sorry it's piloxing, cross between Pilates and boxing, but it is in no way relaxing. It's great I really loved it.

Thanks sparkley, did 2hrs today, Zumba, paloxing and konga. Wow it was amazing. Love paloxing. Might try the shred again just miss my day shifts out.

Hi sparkley, diet was going really well 1st week after Christmas, was really motivated then we had a close family member die suddenly, lots of stuff has been happening since, family get togethers etc. That's the reason for Zumba tomorrow were doing it to raise money for a trust fund. My new...

Wow sparkley you look amazing. How's things going? doing my first Zumba class this week, need to start somewhere. Might even give the shred another go.

Well not going too well, think it is the tiredness that completely throws me off track. I've still lost 9lb in 3 weeks but it should be better. Starting exercise tomorrow just 10mins rowing each day, but it's better than nothing at all. Hopefully will have positive outcome next week.

Just had the new choc bars, wow they are nice. Think I'm going to keep them in fridge for even better results. Can't wait to try the other new ones tomorrow.

Day going really well so far, just about to have one of the new fruit shakes. Not drank much water yet but going to work later and I know I will consume at least 2ltr there I always do.

Sparkley you have done so well. I am back on it today and have a lot of catching up to do! Keep it up.

Thanks. I'll update tomorrow, quite looking forward to them.

All in all a really rubbish, stressful, upsetting day today. I have eaten but not much!! I have drank quite a bit and could carry on if I didn't have to be up early tomorrow. Packs have arrived new day tomorrow. 2 months solid!! Need to do this now.

Not a great week, eaten today and feel rubbish. On the plus side I've just ordered the new bars and the fruit shakes. Anyone else tried the new shakes? I'm starting afresh tomorrow as new packs should arrive by the time I get home from work. Funeral on Tuesday, can do without food but may have...

Well done everyone, anyone tried the fruit shakes? Just ordered some along with the new bars, hoping they are nice :)

Not great this week Lynn come down with a cold topped off with 2 night shifts have just about finished me off, lol! Only managed 1lb so far but as long as I don't gain I can cope 2 more weeks of nights then no longer an issue so ill just keep plodding till then. Hope your doing ok?

Hi susie58, this is my bad day (but not for much longer) it's my first night shift so I'm up for 24hrs. I hate it early on but do go past it by lunch. I try not to have my first pack until lunch so have to keep busy until then. Other than that feeling so much better today. Hope your week is...

10lb off for week 1 couldn't have asked for a better week. Really want to eat a meal but I wouldn't say I was hungry :/ I have been feeling very light headed today, not sure if it's just tiredness or the diet too. I'll keep plodding.

Yay, 10lb loss for me this week, always do well first week just hope I can keep it up, I think the key for me is def water intake, if I have a day of little water I don't lose. Good luck everyone Lynne - starting weight 12 st 12 lb; target loss 68 lb; loss this week 3 lb; 2014 loss so far 3 lb...

Ready for weigh day sparkley?? Hope you've had a good week, bet you've lost all you've put on over Xmas ? see you here tomorrow

Hi Susie just realised we've got the same to lose!! I did well last year nearly 3stone then build up of things knocked me off track, put half back on. I'm on it now, find it strange that I actually find it easier in the winter. So want to get a big chunk off before easter, the rest will come...

Thanks Lynn, did 7lb in first 2 days. If I can at least keep that I'd be happy. Just trying to keep off scales till Monday.

Feeling so much better today, headache finally gone and not felt too hungry. Went food shopping and actually enjoyed it as I didn't have to think what I wanted to eat. Feel like I have a little more energy too. Roll on this time next week to see the benefits. :)

Thanks Susie. I've got 3 children under 7 and work full time shifts it's rubbish. So pleased they let me change my hours. I will be working 10 hour shifts but only 4 days out of 8. Latest I will finish is 4am but that's at a weekend. Just recently I can't sleep after nights so end up with about...

Started jan 6th. Was actually quite glad I didn't have to think about food. Put on more than I expected over last 3 months. But day 1 went ok as did day 2, but day 3 I woke up after nights with a pounding headache. Nothing will get rid of it. Still have it now after 24hrs but I have been quite...

Hi Karla, how's the first day going? Is this the very first time you've done exante? Good luck and stick with it it works and it does get easier

Hi sparkley, yes it's great to be back on plan, think my mind blocked out the fact I had actually put on 24lb. (Think I stopped counting at 1 1/2 stone gain, lol) I will do it this year. Got a few targets throughout the year. Firstly I need to get back in my jeans and work clothes as I had only...

Well day one done for me. Put on 21lbs in 3 months, day one done and first 5lb off. Can't believe it feeling better already.

I've not Even weighed in yet and I'm dreading it already :s I've put on about 21lbs in 3 months and can't even say I don't know how. Even the kids are suffering this time. No choc or crisps in the house except for school pack up. Walking boots on route for the kids. We will get fit this year...

Hi Anne, 9lb is not too bad I put 7 on when I had a weekend off. It will be gone in the first week if not the first few days. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and new year. Are we keeping the challenge going or starting a fresh on Lynne's challenge??

Happy new year Lynne and Anne, determined to crack it this year. I've not started yet. The 6th will be day one for me, I've got at least a clear month or 2 without any interruptions. I want to do slimming world once I've lost the majority of my weight as I know I can follow that for a longer...

I'm up for it, don't think it will be all on exante but certainly the majority will be. My restart date 6th jan.

Hi all 100lb challengers, I'm hoping some of you as well as me will be back on track in new year. Virtually starting from scratch but hey ho, could be over 100lb to lose. Restart date 6 jan (after my little ones birthday celebrations are out of the way!! Will update with new total to lose then...

Wow, amazing transformation already, won't even recognise you after the other half. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Hi sparkley, it may just be you that's stayed strong but you are an inspiration and proof that it works. I will be back on it but can't get my head in right place at minute. Please keep posting as I do keep checking back to the challenge Lynne, I think that is really good idea. I'm going to try...

Hi sparkley, ive not done good at all. I've not even ventured on the scales. I'm back at work tomorrow after 3 weeks off so will be out of the way of food more. I'm thinking of doing 5:2 until after Xmas, I don't want to put more on so if I can just keep it at bay until everything is our of the...

Excellent work sparkley keep it up your doing so well. I've not been great but birthday out of way now. Hoping to do TS for as long as possible, or as near to it as I can.

Hi sparkley, not been great this week, but it's TOTM, I have had at least one pack a day, but eating meals and not snacking. I'm not going to weigh until next Friday as I haven't been 100%, hoping at least 3 days next week will be 100%. Ill just keep fingers crossed, I'd just like to lose what...

Thanks Lynne, 2 packs today and just had beef and veg and the smallest amount of gravy. Here's to tomorrow.

Well decision been half made for me today, my little boy has a swimming party in 2 weeks and they prefer adults to go in the water. I was a lot heavier last year when he went to one in november but I feel I need to lose a little more. Hoping I can get in the 13's at least by then. I will try to...

Hi sparkley your doing brilliant, me not so. Daren't even venture on to scales this morning. I have a really good week or so then fall off the wagon. I've had a weekend off with OH and kids, which doesn't happen too often, so we've had some nice meals and been baking. I'm still motivated but...

Hi Lynne I've lost the plot a little over last week or so, back on it tomorrow. At least 3lb a week till Christmas, don't think ill meet my target but its something to aim for.

Well restart number... I've forgotten, really bad time recently with work being done at home, was really motivated last restart then I had a bad bang to the head and felt really ill for a couple of days. Back on track in the morning feel really bloated and clothes are not as comfortable. Want to...

Hi Sam f, welcome hope all goes well, if you stick to it it will work. First few days are the worse but you should be about over it now. Update us on you first weigh in.

Well done sparkley, I'm hoping my commitment comes back soon, fell of the diet wagon again this weekend. I really miss my porridge packs if I don't have them, but it seems to be teatime I struggle, thinking of introducing 1 low cal/carb meal a day to get me past this, wanted to get another...

Hi, if you read sparkleys logs she has done 30 days on level 1 as she wanted to be able to complete the routine before she moved on. You need to do it everyday for it to work properly, when I did day 2 the pressups crippled me cos I ached so much, just do as much as you can even if they are...

Hi sparkley, another 1lb off for me today. Not tried the curry you will have to let me know what it is like. I've decided to stick to porridge shakes bars and carbonara, I liked the meals but wanted to eat more when I had them. I really hope you get your 4 stone target for your hols, you've...

Well total gain was 4lb, not as bad as I expected really. But on the plus side I have lost 2lb in my first day, hope I can get the other 2 off by Friday then I can get going again for my target. Not going to get to goal by Christmas but I am motivated again and want to start exercising, too...

Found it, count me in (from Tuesday) I'd like to lose 3 stone for Christmas joking in hope....

Welcome back Lynne, I've been off track too for over a week. Re start day Tuesday, fingers crossed nothing crops up. Really feel the need to stop eating. Never thought I would say it but at the minute I would say I favoured the packs over 'normal' food. I can't stand oats so simple porridge...

Hello to all. Including all you newbies, sorry I've been off track for a short while, lots of stress at minute as we are having a new kitchen fitted, with 3 kids this is no mean feat. I'm so fed up of eating, but I can't do my porridge and its not easy blending milk shake etc and then washing...

Well it's been a while since i last posted, gain of 3lb and really fed up of eating crap, alcohol has been my savour as I feel so stressed with the house. Kitchen will be mostly complete by the end of next week hopefully Thursday, I can't wait that long. Starting back on exante packs on Tuesday...

Well not been on for a while things have gone slightly to pot!! On the plus side I haven't put any weight on. Having a new kitchen fitted at minute so have no facility to do anything making a cup of tea is a chore so I've decided to stop having packs as I feel it is a waste, 2 weeks max and then...

Wow can't believe how hungry I have felt today, I've got a busy day today so that should keep me busy, and hopefully a nice early night. Just keep thinking of getting back on scales on Wednesday.

Hi everyone, hope your all doing ok. I'm back with it 100% today. Ill go through and make sure everyone is up to date tomorrow (when I've hopefully had more sleep to concentrate) I've had a sneaky weigh and put 1lb on, I'm hoping that and my 2lb to take me to 2 1/2 stone will be off by...

Hi everyone old and new, hope everyone is doing ok, I'm back with you all tomorrow after a few days 'off' I've really tried to be good but just needed time out. Kids back at school this week so hoping that will help, I don't feel like I've done too much damage but keeping off the scales till...

Hi sparkley, been a bit crap lately, few days off as we have been off this week so been out for long days. Not done the shred again cos every time I do it it sets off my trapped nerve. Back on it again 100% from Monday. Don't think I'll make it for Christmas but as long as I stick with it I...

Hi stern John, I too did LL about 4 years ago and lost 6 1/2 stone in 5 months, I didn't really like the counselling side although I do get where there coming from unfortunately 2 house moves and one more baby later saw the weight creep back up, I was 4lb heavier when I started exante than when...

Yes I've started picking again which is why I'm on this diet in first place, thinking maybe if I have a meal I will feel more satisfied and stop the habit again.

Your doing really well sparkley, just think you are doing more than you were 24 days ago, it doesn't matter what level you are on! Keep it up.

I've just realised I'm roughly a third of the way to my target weight. Another little target reached next is 3 stone, just 9lb to reach this. I really wanted Xmas to be my target but looks like I'm not going to reach this, my main thing is to be able to get in a nice dress for my 2 Xmas doo's...

Hi anniem, Welcome, good luck for this coming week, keep us updated on your weight loss and ill add you to the list.

Weigh day for me again, just the 3lb that I lost in first few days, I've not been 100% but have had days out. Thinking of maybe introducing a meal on a few occasions as my little one asked why I didn't sit down and eat with them at tea time? And I do really miss it. Will have to see, was hoping...

The shred just isn't happening at the minute. I am still getting over my last what I think was a trapped nerve. I slept in a funny position and my shoulder seizes every time I sleep or when I'm sat at work for a shift. I'm hoping to start jogging a few times a week when kids go back to school...

Hi sparkley, the main thing is you are doing something. I have started and had to stop twice because of a trapped nerve. My weight also seems to slow down when I start it?? Think jogging might be the way for me!! Two more weeks of having kids at home then I think I'll start.

Well done you two, keep up the good work.

Been quite good this week, lost 3lb since Wednesday although I did promise myself I wouldn't get on the scales!! Feeling better about it again. Was wondering how much people were loosing on average on working solutions?? I am having a new kitchen fitted in September and one of my choices was a...

Welcome Lisabear, your doing really well keep up the good work, ill add you to the list.

Kleptocrats up the good work everyone, sparkley i have the same feeling 'I really just want a normal meal' feeling, unfortunately I normally do cave in, I've also had a sneaky weigh as I had a bad week last week but been near on 100% since Monday. I've lost 3lb since Wednesday, but bet I don't...

Hi sparkley, I've got to agree the jumping jacks are the worse, I don't know if its technique but when I started it last time I really struggled and couldnt coordinate at all but this time is so much better, but I feel more comfortable while I am doing them and find them easier because of that...

Hi everyone all weights should be updated, I've taken a couple off the list that haven't updated their loses, just to make it easier to update, if anyone wants to be added just let me know when you've done your first weigh in. I've just lost the 1lb, think I could do with borrowing some...

Weigh day this morning, just the 1lb off, a little disappointed but I did have a really rubbish weekend. On it again since Monday, just wish I felt normal all of the time and my weight losses would be pretty consistent. Think I have decided to go for the shakes and bar bundle next time and may...

Day 2 done... With a little encouragement from my 5 year old (that can do proper press ups and couldn't understand why my knees were on the floor) lol! Feeling really good today although I ache. Still really want to start jogging though, well see over next couple of weeks.

Just trying to prepare for day 2, unfortunately the kids will be up so no doubt they will get a laugh or 2!!!! Aching a little today but not as bad as when I first did it a few weeks ago. Here goes...

Feeling much better about the plan again today, cravings over phew!!! Been 100% today and done day 1 of the shred, I've been out with the children most of the day, that seems to help I took a picnic for them and a bar for me, not managed all of my water yet so best get drinking!!!

1st day of the shred completed today, felt ok. Feeling v tired now though.

How's everyone done this week?? I've struggled a little and TOTM has thrown me off track again. Hopefully next week will be better and should be doing the 1st day of the 30 day shred tomorrow. Hopefully this time will see a good loss.

That sounds good Lynne, how about tomorrow? OH is at work at 7am so I can get up with him and do it before I go out for day (don't like doing it when he's watching). It would be nice to do it same time as someone else, I'm less likely to skip a day unless really necessary as I feel accountable...

How's the shred going sparkley? You doing ok on level 1? Really do need to make a start, again!!!

Aargh!!! Chocolate craving or what, had to give in yesterday but trying my hardest not too today. Well it's TOTM time again, guess that explains it. At least losing just over 2 stone this seems to be more regular again. But the cravings come more often. Day out at chatsworth tomorrow with a...

Hi Lynne, have you got the chilli? That's my favourite. At least the food smells like the real thing even if it looks like baby food, lol!!

Feeling ok, not slipped too much on my night shifts. My official weigh day is Wednesday but I tend to weigh most days. I'm trying not too this week though. 3 days off work now so hopefully get back on it 100% I'd like to be losing about 3.5 lb a week as this will get me to goal for Xmas. Also...

Hi goldie, hope you had a lovely holiday, that's all that matters. 1 week of TS should put it right. I had a few days eating last week but still managed a loss doing TS for a few days. Good luck for this week.

1st night shift down 2 to go, feeling crap today, had normal sleeping/waking pattern for last 3 weeks and struggling to get back in to it, could eat 4 England, especially sweets (for energy of cause). Roll on 7am Saturday. Trying not to weigh in until Wednesday.

Well managed to get the 2lb I needed, I'm now in the 14s, yay!! Here's to the next stone.

Weigh in day, just the 2lb for me but that gets me in to the 14s, yay!!!

Well done blue butterfly, your doing great. I agree with sparkley, I've had some good losses and some low ones normally near TOTM. My average weight loss has dropped so I've got to try to keep up my average. I might not get to target by Xmas because I intend to introduce food near the end, but...

Well day one done at work, been 100% so far, I am not getting on scales till Wednesday to try to undo any damage I may have caused, I would be happy with just 2lb this week to get in to the 14's. tried my work trousers on and they dropped off, had to go down to my spare pair, which I bought and...

Excellent weight loses you two, ill update list later when I'm back in the comfort of my own home, not enjoying first day back at work. Can't concentrate after 3 weeks of not really having to think of much.

First day back at work tomorrow after 3 weeks of lovely sunshine. OH has now decided to go to the gym at 6am before I go to work, so 30 day shred it is while no one is up (hopefully).

Hi Lynne, you've done really well, just 4lb wow. Ive been out all day, only just sat down. Will make a start on shred tomorrow. It will prob be in the evening. Good luck

Daren't get on the scales yet, had two picnics this week, could have been worse as OH was off too and we have been out most days, I really enjoyed the picnics but was glad to get back on the packs today, not drank much water though. I'm back at work Monday so dreading that, at least I've...

Hi sparkley, your found really well with the shred, all I will say is don't be too disappointed if you don't lose as much as you had hoped, but you will have probably lost more inches than in previous weeks and it all adds the cause, keep it up, ill be joining again soon.

Had a good few days leading up to today, the weather has been lovely so a nice afternoon out at chatsworth playing games and running about after the youngest. But chicken salad and wine have been consumed, at my choice, but I had said this week I will eat as the only full week we have as a...

It's been great weather here, been out to chatsworth all afternoon and just got back in the house from the garden, could have sat there all night!! Another day out tomorrow, hopefully the weather will stay with us. Just for the next few days at least till I go back to work :( I can't complain...

Good thanks, had a bit of a break today, I'm back at work on Monday after 3 week off so I have had a few treats but mainly salad. I have got a lovely bottle of white wine chilling in the fridge, may have to sample a glass later . Come Monday it will be 100% again for a while, we hoping to go...

Hi sparkley, did you manage day 5? Hope your doing ok.

Well done LyniG, I'm sure a little treat every now and again should be ok, as long as you can get straight back on it, I went through a stage where my head wasn't in gear. Had a blow out over a few days then realised I was happier when I got on the scales and saw a weight loss than when I was...

Well nearly made 100% today except for half a sausage my youngest pushed in my mouth that she should have been eating then I just couldn't resist, think I've been drinking more water over last few days just for something to do, but I do notice I get thirsty before bed but I don't like drinking...

Don't think your able to have breaks of more than 5 seconds. I remember quite a few years ago I started a boxercise class organised at work. The first week I nearly died I was so unfit, by the end of two months I could do proper sit ups, proper press ups, the plank and quite a few other strength...

Hi I'm finding exante fine, stuff tastes a little different to LL but the new meals are nice, my favourite is chilli, the new porridge is lovely too. I could live on both those with variation of shake or bar for lunch. Why don't you post on main forum see if anyone lives near you to split the...

Thanks Lynne

Read your diary last night, sounds like your having a lovely time. And been doing well with the food. I'd have to try and go a stone lighter than I want to be if we went to America I just know I wouldn't be able to resist, enjoy the rest of your holiday, definitely recommend iPhone if you've not...

Not properly, I've eaten but not on the proper additional 201kcal per day. If your really worried and dont want to be tempted by food go for the milk option. When I did LL that's what they do. Every 12 weeks. Apparently exante recommend every 4 purely because we are not medically monitored. I've...

I'm sure you can sparkley, you're doing really well, r u planning on doing the food week when they recommend or are you leaving it a little longer?

Just over 1/4 way there in less than 2 months. I got a bit despondent last week when weight really slowed down, but back with it again now. Mostly I have been 100%. And intend to stay this way, if I have to go out for meals then I will be choosing very carefully.

Don't think I updated my last weight loss, and lost another 2 lb this morning, another mid week weigh in, I'm trying not too but was so good yesterday I had to see ? zoe9804 - 100lb - 26lb = 74lb Plym2bslim Sparkley - 100lb - 22lb = 78lb lyniG - 100lb - 21lb = 79lb Cliopatra - 100lb -...

Hi I have done the dvd (well started it) and yes the routine is the same for 1st 10 days x Thanks for that, thought I was missing something.

Reading above post I thought I had wrote part of it (except the buying a bike bit) I reward when I'm down, when I'm tired and when I'm happy, is there any hope? Since doing exante I have treat myself every half stone, my mum has too, I'm just waiting for another 3lb to get my next beauty...

...

Excellent, the bike suits you. Have you been on it today? My back is feeling a little better today so added with new motivation after a good weight loss ill be doing the 30 day shred soon. Probably wait for Lynne to get back from holiday so we can suffer the pain together in the forum, lol...

Well feeling good again. Jumped on the scales for first time since Wednesday and another 2lb gone. Yippee. Now over 1/4 way to target (another mini target reached) now for the 2 stone. Just 3lb away.

I saw someone with a really good t-shirt on today and thought it quite appropriate to post for all us 100lb challenge ladies, it stated:- YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU GET WHAT YOU WORK FOR. It has worked for me today, kept me 100%. Have a good weekend everyone.

Hi Surfybeachbabe I found that my weight slowed on total solutions week 4/5. This was also my TOTM and I started the 30 day shred. It virtually stopped in fact as I was losing on average 1/2lb a day. I lost 1 lb in a week, and then I had a weekend off plan altogether. I'm just feeling back to...

I have trouble with them too. I have a bad lower back anyway and haven't been able to do it for the last week. How did you find star jumps mine got better by day 3 but surprising how hard they are. Keep posting, let us know how you get on.

Sort of got my head back in gear again today, 100% so far. Spreading the packs a little better (closer together) seems to have done the trick, not even fancied anything today either. Just had my first pack of chilli, it was scrummy. Here to a 100% weekend.

I'm still plodding along, weight loss not been great. But trying to get my head around things, cos of my back I've not been able to do my 30 day shred DVD and not been walking as much as I'd hoped either. Finding the variation of food better and I'm not leaving so long between each pack, think...

Hi, I have done slim fast before and couldn't cope. I still felt really hungry the benefit of exante for me is you don't really get that hunger feeling after the first few days. My trouble is I don't necessarily eat because I'm hungry. With 3 little ones I just find this easy as I don't really...

Was thinking of printing of one of the very few 'fat' photos I have and pinning it up on all the cupboards and fridge. Might make me resist, lol. Think maybe I should do that, have chicken salad or steak salad, I did feel better last time. The thing that annoys me most is that I didn't do this...

Hhhheeeeellllpppp! As much as I want this weight loss I can't help picking, mostly ham chicken etc but I need to stop. Any hints/tips to stop this. I spend quite a bit of time in kitchen feeding my youngest, this is when it happens and I never do it in front of OH or the kids. I really need to...

Wow, really enjoyed my version of Shephards pie. It really did look like it just mixed up together, lol. Can't wait for the chilli tomorrow.

Ooo can't wait till tomorrow tea now. I think I'll try leaving them a bit longer, mine are generally quite thin but still nice, I'm going to try the new porridge tomorrow morning can't wait for that, I love porridge anyway.

I went for the spag Bol, was good. Saved the Shephards pie for tomorrow but can't wait to try the chilli. Does anyone do their packs in a pan, I feel I am the only one in the world that doesn't have a microwave!! Just wondering if mine are any different as they are in a pan??

Excellent, back worse again today so can hardly walk or bend, really wanted to do this while I was off work but doesn't look like it will be happening. I think it's the 3rd August Lynn is back so hopefully my back will have sorted its self by then and we can all offer encouragement. Was also...

I've just bought the mixed pack of meals, I personally like the carbonara. Tried the spag Bol tonight there was more quantity and I enjoyed it for what it was (obviously not the real thing) I just feel like I'm eating food as normal so it does help. Going to try shepherds pie tomorrow as the...

When you do watch it could you tell me if the first 10 days are the same routine, I've only been doing it on you tube and have missed out on the free DVD offer.

Well chose spag Bol for tea, definitely larger portion than carbonara. It was ok, looked ok too. Shepards pie tomorrow. While the family eat 'proper' shepherds pie.

Yes every little target counts, I now have a very wide range of products to choose from as my apple and cinnamon porridge has just arrived from sparkley, this swapping business is great gives even more choice without having to spend a fortune at once. So here goes for the next target, 5 more lb...

Wow, meals just arrived and so has my apple and cinnamon porridge (thanks sparkley) I really am spoilt for choice now.

Well just the one lb off this time, but at least I didn't gain!! New meals have just arrived, can't wait to try them trying to decide between chilli and bolognese.....

Hi surfybeachbabe, Your doing really well ill add you to the list, if youve read the thread I also like to set very small targets. Makes you feel like you've achieved something. The two stone should come off no problems in 6 weeks. Good luck.

Glad you enjoyed it, can't wait to try it and the chilli and the spag Bol for that matter, lol. Still doing ok, surprisingly not hungry at all, thought it would be back to the day one feeling. Sparkling water at the ready for my super. X

Have a lovely time. The main thing is to enjoy your holiday. Everything will come together again when you get home.

Sounds good to me, I'll wait till then probably see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Well no 30 day shred today, can hardly walk with my back. Doctors tomorrow so will see what they say.
