Thanks Shrimp.
Just had my second meal of the day, a chocolate orange bar - got to be my favourite exante meal!

Have you tried the shepherds pie? It's fab!

 

[lynneonextante]

Yes, I like that one too. I haven't tried the curry one but it doesn't seem to be very popular so might give it a miss. I like the pasta so that's 2 that are OK!

 

[Shrimp]

I like the curry but I do it so it's more of a soup. And it lasts a little longer

 

[lynneonextante]

Might give it a try then!

 

[Shrimp]

I tried the mushroom risotto and it's shocking but I have about 10 of them that I am forcing down my neck!

 

[lynneonextante]

I'm the same. I've also go t quite a few chilli ones to eat too. I do find with exante that the flavours grow on me if I persist. I didn't used to like the soups but now I do! I'll be amazed if the risotto ever becomes one of my favourites though!

 

[Shrimp]

Lynne it's the consistency! It's like .... Something the cat brought up

Good morning Lynne and wow! Well done on the 4lbs lost already xx

 

[BeeBeeSee]

Yes, strangely enough I really like most of the products, some more than others. And I really like the curry too. You can definitely taste the coriander. Although I can barely handle the shepherds pie, one thing that's got to be said for it is that it is very thick. Very much like mashed potato even when you use a lot of water. Very filling.

You are doing great Lynne it's helping my motivation to read your updates too x

Hi Lynne, hope you have a good day.

Hi Lynne. Glad you had a good Christmas and are back on track I am mopping up the excess and doing well so far today. Weather was too gross to go for a run so did 45mins of cardio instead. Would have been easier to do 5k!! Hope your weigh in goes well xxx

 

[Miss Mac]

How did the diet and first day back at work go? X

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

Well done on the 4lbs Lynne

The only thing I haven't tried is the risotto.
I like all the other products. I find the newer ones that have been brought out, soak up the water more. Its odd. The shepherds pie, and the apple cinnamon porridge are like sponges soaking up the water !!

 

[Shrimp]

Lynne how has your day been?

i tried the bean chilli tonight and it's good!

 

[twinkle82]

How has today been for you hun? You're doing so well xx

 

[lynneonextante]

Well, Week 1 Day 6 completed.
Couldn't sleep last night so am really tired today and going to have an early night. I find it difficult at work because the days are so long. Have had a toffee nut raisin bar, banana shake and shepherd's pie today. I think I would even have liked the risotto tonight, I was so hungry!
Didn't weigh this morning but I'm sure I will tomorrow!
Had some - possibly - good news today. Either I've been underpaid, or my colleague has been overpaid, £2000! Hopefully the former!

 

[Tigs]

Best of luck tomorrow Lynne in your WI you are doing great - you are sailing thru - good luck on the good news hope it works out well for you and it is the former - how nice would that be x

 

[Susie58]

Nothing worse than not being able to sleep & then having to face work in the morning. Hope it goes well tomorrow. Wow 2 grand would be a brilliant windfall wouldn't it.

 

[lynneonextante]

2k would be brilliant! I could buy a lot of chocolate with that! I think I'm going to put it towards a car if it comes through.
