Stay strong
Hi there Irishlass
Your losses are amazing - your determination and steadfastness are inspirational. Im on day 4 and i am the weight you started at!! Ive read your diary over the past few days and it has given me the belief that i can do it.
I did lose lots of weight before on LT but in time my old habits emerged and i piled the weight back on plus some.
You are at the DIFFICULT STAGE right now. Sure. The weight is gone or almost gone and you feel great. But beware. For the changes to be permanent you have to stay strong now and change the old habits for healthy ones and stick with it every day. Its sooo easy to think that one bad meal or one bad day or one bad week wont matter but they do. Your body is like an elastic band that will want to go back to its old fat shape and when thin its easier to give in to temptation. You have to stay thin for a long time before your boday accepts the new you as the real you. Stay strong.

I just read your description of the pain you had a while ago... classic gall stone symtoms ya know... sound like you may have even passed a small stone... and losing so much weight so quickly is a real cause of gall bladder problems... Thats why bypass patients automatically have their gall bladder removed during the bypass op... Hope ya havent had any trouble with it since xx

Hi all,
I am doing well today back on TS. Had to bake loads of mini choccy doughnuts for the kids school. They smell so good. But i was very good and just glugged my water.
Anywho i am thinking of change from Exante to either Atkins or slim&save. I have been on both forums and had a great read. I have done low carb before and done great and also was able to maintain too. Maybe just 2 weeks of s&s then start low carbing(not atkins just low carb)
I still have at least 3weeks of soups and shakes left before i leave. Or i might put them on Ebay. I dont have much more to loose and i am very comfortable and happy in my new size 14 body
I feel a change is needed. Have done 22 weeks of Exante and its been the best thing i have ever done to shift the bulk of my weight.
Have a great day everyone

Glad you're back in the swing of thing You know you're capable of really good weekly losses so I'm sure the 14lbs will be gone in no time!
Its good to have plans for moving forwards too - like you say, you haven't got far to go now, and I know Exante can get repetitive after 22 weeks.
I've never done Atkins/Low Carb, but I do mix and match my Exante products with S&S ones, and I can recommend them. I would have jumped ship before now if it wasn't for the Exante soups, which I really like.
Have you thought of ordering a few samples? they're only 99p, and you can order as many as you'd like to try

Yeah me too Irish lass..... I'm thinking of a switch to slim and save I'm a bit bored of exante. No weight gain at all thank God but just feel I need a wee change of focus! Good luck with whatever you do.

wow 22 weeks is amazing, I hope that I can get to that stage as I think 24 would be my limit. Good luck on maintaining and keep us all posted when you start the maintaining bit

Hi all. Just did my stint on the threadmill,tummy crunches and a sesh on the dumb bells. Will do some davina dvd tomorrow
Still doing well on TS. I have 3 weeks of soups and shakes left then i will switch to s&s i think. Going to order some samples to see if i like it 1st. Not the shakes tho,i dont do aspartame. The meals and bars look nice. Will do 2 weeks of that(if i like it) then switch to low carb which i am so looking forward to. Miss my tuna salads and cauli mash....lol
Anyway that is my plan and i am so pleased with the way everything is working out. Have a good day all.
From a very happy me
