Anyone doing one at the moment?

I've started exante this morning. Last year I lost 3 stone with Cambridge but Exante is loads cheaper. No meeting though so I need moral support if any one can give it!

Starting weight 249.2lb. Awful I know so no need to tell me.

Stalling! I'm not stalking any of you.

Msqueen33 · 15/06/2017 06:28

No that was me craving crisps. Thankfully I didn't but I really bloody wanted to. Gah why are crisps so nice??

Day four now. Am hungry but figure there's enough fat for my stomach to feed on.

Pinkiepromisex · 15/06/2017 08:12

Sorry Venus and Msq! I think I am losing weight from my brain rather than my bum!

artycakemaker · 15/06/2017 08:30

Morning all.

Weigh in for me tomorrow. Yesterday I ended up in a pub waiting for DH to get home from a really horrid day so had 2 large glasses of wine and a starter size garlic mushrooms and salad. I felt quite ill as they used a fair bit of butter.

Liquids all day today (herbal tea etc) then hoping for a baked chicken leg and salad for dinner.

My stomach has gone down a little bit I think.

Onwards and downwards. :)

Msqueen33 · 15/06/2017 09:16

I realised I was really fat this morning when I had to wipe sweat after the school run from my stomach apron

Venusflytwat · 15/06/2017 10:52

I caught sight of the rear view of myself earlier. I was appalled.

Hungry today. Scales not shifted. GAH.

Msqueen33 · 15/06/2017 11:42

I try and stay away from mirrors as it's highly depressing.

I weighed in today at 13'4.4 and will weigh again Monday. So far a 2 lb loss. Ideal weight is 9'10 so feels a very long way to go.

Pinkiepromisex · 15/06/2017 15:30

Hi everyone, it's really hot here. Avoiding offers of ice cream and slush drinks in work! Starving today - had 2 bars so far.
Salad and chicken for later. My consultant gave me a sample of the powder to make the shakes into a angel delight type of consistency which sounds good - have any of you tried it? May give it a go.

Msqueen33 · 15/06/2017 17:37

How's everyone getting on today?

Buxtonstill · 15/06/2017 19:35

Finally got below 19 st. Now the bloody scale won't move below 18 13..... I think I maybe retain a little more water in the hot weather though. I have drunk 3 litres today....

Msqueen33 · 16/06/2017 08:06

@Buxtonstill that's great. Keep drinking and you'll probably see a huge loss.

artycakemaker · 16/06/2017 08:08

Good news Buxton.

I was going to weigh today, but had a massive row with DH last night and I am exhausted and have lost all interest and enthusiasm for the moment. On the plus side I have no chance of eating with my stomach churning like this.

hope everyone has a good day. Thanks

Pinkiepromisex · 16/06/2017 08:32

Well done Buxton! Arty hope you have a better day today Flowers

Pinkiepromisex · 16/06/2017 08:33

Msq well done on your loss too! Lets keep them coming!!

Msqueen33 · 16/06/2017 09:28

@artycakemaker I hope you're okay x

Buxtonstill · 16/06/2017 16:31

Arty I hope you are ok. why don't you work your anger out with a jog on the spot, or climbing up and down stairs for a few minutes. YOU CAN DO THIS!

In other news, I lost another 8 ounces overnight. 18 12 & 1/2 ! This is painfully slow but will be worth it.

Be strong everybody!

Pinkiepromisex · 16/06/2017 19:04

Well done on your overnight weight loss Buxton!
Made one of the cambridge mousse/angel delight thingys using the gelatine the consultant gave me to try. Looks good will pretend it's a treat later!
Hope everyone is ok. Arty hope you have been ok?

Venusflytwat · 16/06/2017 19:28

Arty I saw your other thread, I hope you're ok.

I'm closing the week at 6lbs off :)
I have people staying this weekend now so am just going to try and make good food choices. Back on it Sunday evening.

Hope everyone has a good weekend x

Another 8 ounces over night! At least its going in the right direction! Hey 8 ounces a day is a stone a month!
Caved in a little last night and had a small handfull of peanuts and a sugar free chupa chups lolly. (26 calories and they last a LONG time!)

Still did 10 minutes on my vibro power plate machine as normal. They really are fab for toning you up.

Have a fab day everybody!

Pinkiepromisex · 17/06/2017 11:37

Well done Buxton. On my scales my weight hasn't altered since Sunday so really fed up. Keeping to it with no extras so really not happy. I keep thinking there will be a sudden 2 pounds but nothing. Sad

Buxtonstill · 17/06/2017 12:44

Pinkie - keep with it. I stayed at the same weight for 10 days at one point.
