Hi Goldie. Don't be disheartened and don't give up on exante. I think it is a really good way to lose weight as you still get all the nutrients you need at the same time as losing quickly. I've been on weight watchers, slimming world, calorie counting, eating healthy etc etc but have never managed to make a decent impact on my weight. This is the only time I've managed to successfully lose weight. For me, exante really is 'the last chance saloon.' I haven't had that many 100% days. My approach is to still meals when I'm away - and I will on holiday - and to try to make it low or no carb when I don't stick to the diet - had 4 chicken pieces today. Also, if I go off track I just accept it and get back to, or try to get back to 100% TS. Don't know how I'll feel when I get back from Philly - no doubt having gained - but I'm hoping I'll be able to get back on track and make a new start.
