Oh wow well done, i am at 269lbs at the moment which is around 19st (doing it in lbs because doing it in stones is too depressing! lol)
I am not a fan of pepper but i will season the mushroom soup and see what i think and just down it in one if need be!
You can use the tablet sweeteners and crush them, im not sure about the granulated but i keep reading about crushing tablet sweeteners.
It's because Exante advise not to use powdered sweetners. Only tablet form.
I think the powerdered is mixed with some kind of sugar form to make it powdery, at least thats what i am told.
@flab-buster - wishing you luck with the mushroom soup then. I've just bought some tobasco too to help spice things up!! I have to have sweetner tab in my coffee, I can only do maybe one without! I'll give it a go and let you know x
@gemma - bless you. I'm proof that after these types of diets you don't put it all back on. You do if you go back to old ways. It's all about getting a new way of life with food and exercise as well as learning to deal with stress. Mind you haribo's will always be my downfall lol. Thanks re wedding. Not even looking at dresses yet but not getting we'd until November. Though the honeymoon in Mexico is helping my inspiration and thoughts of a nice bikini body! Wishing you luck and I'm always happy to lend an ear x
