Hi all! :-)

Oh I would love to try the soups!! I only have the meals and shakes bumper but to be honest think in future I will give the meals a miss, there is only the porridge and shepards pie I can manage to eat willingly without forcing down my neck! The more I have, the less I want with the others! Blaahh. Just had a vanilla shake though, I have now tried all the flavours in my box (strawberry,choc,vanilla & banana) and must say vanilla and banana are my favourite! I am also really enjoying my blackcurrent flavouring in hot water and having it when the rest of my family have cups of tea etc! feeling good still but Sundays are always hard as I miss my roast dinners already!! When is your weigh in? Mine is Wednesday eekkk!! X

Mine is tomorrow. Eek!! I know what you mean about Sunday dinners. It's hard to cook and watch the family eat when you're not isn't it. I'm the same with the meals, I've tried the shepherds pie and the chilli and I'm not a fan of either. I think in future I'm going to buy individual products so I get exactly what I like.

Ha! As I wrote that (on my phone) I was looking at the Exante site on the lap top. I've just noticed that there's a 'pick your own' four week pack for a limited time. Have you seen it? I think I may do that and just fill my trolley with nice shakes and soups.

 

[Soontobeskinnyminnie]

Oh I know cooking is a nightmare ha yes I've seen that think its a bit more expensive to pick your own though? The reason im on this diet is money issues I'm broke ATM so don't think I could afford to pick my own x

 

[TidyFairy]

Nope. You are quite right. I filled the basket with 28 days worth and it came to about £109!! So I've ordered 5 days of individual with a free Irish coffee. (Yummmm)
Before doing this I used to do LighterLife and I stopped after 4 weeks because of the cost. This diet is loads cheaper (and ultimately the same)...but I think you're right about not ordering weeks in advance!

Well I am ashamed to say that last night I caved and ate a take away I went the cinema last night and had a coke zero which afterwards made me feel very ill (I'm assuming it was the coke as I had felt fine all day) it's no excuse to eat but I did feel better afterwards, just sorry I didn't eat something healthier but hey ho I'm not dwelling on the past as I have been 100% today! I have just ordered one months worth for £74 on G R O U P O N!! ( Had to type like that to be able to post the word) Take a look they have brilliant offers on for exante at the mo, the 4 week pack I have ordered includes some of the new shakes too which I am excited about! Feeling better today and hopefully won't fall back into feeling like I have to eat. I was so ashamed as its the first time I've broken this diet, I was even 100% previously on Lipotrim!! Ah well, onwards and upwards eh! How did your weigh in go? Mine is on Wednesday! Nervous. Xf

 

[TidyFairy]

Oh no! You've done what I did on Friday! I'm CONVINCED that the Coke Zero makes me want to eat! I'm avoiding it from now on!
Well...we've had our blip so let's just move from it and try not to feel guilty. We will get there in the end! Well done for starting again. X

 

[TidyFairy]

Oooh and I forgot to tell you...I lost 7lb this week. Which I'm really pleased about considering I had my wobble! If I stick to 100% this week then I'm hoping I can do that all over again and be a stone lighter! Good luck for tomorrow. X

 

[Soontobeskinnyminnie]

I know!! I've never ever done that before I also think the come zero makes me want to be naughty!! ah well it's onwards and downwards for us! Fab to hear your loss!! Can't wait for tomorrow now. Xx

 

[TidyFairy]

I've just been googling Coke Zero and it contains a sweetener called Aspartame, which seems to have all sorts of yukky side affects, one of which is making you feel hungry. So I'm definitely going to avoid it in future.

 

[TidyFairy]

(Oops, caught the 'send' button. Sorry.) It says on the Exante website that this is the only VLCD that does NOT contain aspartame...so I'm thinking there's a definite reason for them putting that! I think I'm going to get a few water flavourings with my next order and try and stick to those and my coffee.

 

[Soontobeskinnyminnie]

Thanks for finding it out! Ill give it a miss myself. Naughty coke. Tut tut!
