No, trying to watch what i'm eating, as i seem to be easily tempted these days, 
so if i am tempted, then at least that's 100 cals off the total lol ha ha.
stocked up my freezer today, in asdas. i think its all veg have 3.5 drawers full of either fresh green beans that i have frozen, or cauli, brocolli, mushrooms, onion and mixed peppers. it will take me ages to get thru that lot

Hi, I have been searching for an alternative to CD on which I lost over five stone two years ago. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of stress to deal with and regained about 4 stone. I'm gutted and haven't been in the mindset to go back to CD - nor can I afford it. I have read some positive comments here about STW but wondered what bars do you have? I really liked the CD ones. I need to get this weight back off, it'd depressing the hell out of me as I have a wardrobe of size 10 -12 clothes and now I am 16- 18

U can have Exante bars or Tesco Ultra slim bars... Only one a day... They're too nice so ones got to be disciplined not to overeat them if you're an emotional eater like me!
Fair play Jeanette stockin up the freezers with healthy veg... As the saying goes " Failure to plan is planning to fail".... So gud thinking planning ahead!!
I've finally put in an order for wheat free pack from Exante... Never saw this option before... Money wise.. Its way cheaper than CD or LL plus ders no thinking or preparing food... It worked b4 so it'll work again .... Goin to start walkin again around my garden each mornin ... As weights will stall my losses. I've some STW shakes to keep me goin until they arrive... Got a free by of a shaker, drink powder and a travel mug... Made my day!!
Off to d city today for a family day out Have a gud one Jeanette and all!

Hi everyone, shoebe what did u order? i love the soups, the veg in particular, also LOVE the porridge, could have this when not on exante , also the spaghetti bolognaise is very nice, bit trial and error re the pasta, but i have sieved the pasta out and soaked in a little boiling water, then added it back to the mix (same with pasta carbonara, but can never get that thick, more like soup lol) shepherds pie is nice as well, i add dried mint and herbs, and some salt and pepper, re the chilli, u def need to soak the beans for 4-5 mins before re adding to the mix, as they are like bullets otherwise and as u know i love the bars lol. Yes, from thurs will be adding a meal a day, will prob be chicken and veg as well as 3 packs a day, then will drop a pack the following week etc. so by xmas i will be having a greek yog with splenda and almond or lemon flavouring for breakfast and salad and protein and 3 crispbreads (or a piece of bread every other day) for lunch, the protein and veg, plus potatoes for tea, what do u think?
Hi Kitten, i lost 5 stone 7 years ago on CD, but came off it suddenly due to my brother in law having Cancer, (he passed away) as i was the one taking to treatment i just came off it and didn't do it properly. I have now lost the 5 stone, and am on exante, and having 600 cals a day, with porridge, soup or bar, then a meal pack for tea. find it easier than STW in the winter, as u crave something hot on cold days ( well i do anyhow)

Hi kitten, the bars r lush, u can hav choc n orange or toffee nut and raisin. They r quite filling, hav a look at them on site.
I dont lose weight very easily, and even on this its sometimes only about 2 lb, others about 4 lb. But i lost 9 lb the first week was very happy. I find it easier to not eat as then u don't over eat also if u follow it to the letter ur having a loss every week, and can lose a stone a month, more the first month.

Hi Fatgirlslim,
I started doing 3 shakes a day to start for about the 1st 3 weeks, eating a handful of nuts and fruit through out the day, but mainly with the fruit I stuck to raspberries, blackberries and blueberries ..... And in the evening I would eat a low carb meal, the easiest way to condition yourself to low carb is leave out pasta, potatoes, rice, bread etc..... My meals now consist of a portion of meat and salad, or a portion of meat and veg, always eating veg from above ground rather than that that grows under the ground, omelettes are good too I add lots of spinach, and drink loads of water, drink water with all of your meals too, I am pretty much down to my goal weight just 3lb to go to 9st and I don't think I will ever go back onto carbs? The less I eat them the less I want them? I have had the odd chocolate pang while I have been doing it so I have had the odd bar here and there, I always think if you don't you won't succeed, never felt guilty for having it but where as before I would say that's it if failed the diet and go on and eat another one...... With this diet I don't? I just get straight back on it I like the Lindt 90% coco anyway so I always buy a big bar of that and have it for my emergency cravings ! I used to suffer with tummy ache in the mornings on a daily basis, I always thought I was allergic to wheat or something like that? Since doing shake that weight all of that has gone, so for that reason alone I just never want to go back to eating what I was before ..... And I am one of those people who say if I can do it... Anyone can! really hope you succeed best of luck xx
