Just thought I'd write a post while im drinking my soup 
It was weigh day number 6 today for the end of my 5th week - and considering I've had 3 meals out and did not eat 1 single exante product for 6 days i managed to only put on 1lb.
I'm really pleased with myself, I was so worried that I'd go mad and put on 5lbs+ in that week, but i needn't have worried, food really isnt that appealing to me any more.
I ate like a "normal person" every day, small portions at meal times only, no snacking, which stopped me from putting on excess weight. No doubt when I've been back on exante for a few days I will be craving food again, but I know in reality I'm not really missing a thing.
I feel like after 25 years of being addicted to food, my mind-set is finally changing into a far healthier attitude to eating - it's nice to eat good food, but it's not compulsory to eat anything you fancy at any time of the day - I've finally learned not to give in to my cravings - because they easily go away again shortly after.
I'm craving being slim and healthy far more.

Happy New Year, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda xx
Blwyddy newydd dda Ali!
I haven't been on minimins for a while, probably a clear indicator that I really haven't been giving exante ts my all, whatsoever.
But, i think I've made a turning point today.
I was starving when I finished work, and needed petrol urgently - stopping at a garage would usually have been lethal as I would pick up some snack if not a full meal deal, even just as a snack. But today I decided against it.
Since I took a break over Christmas I wouldnt have hesitated in picking up a 600kcal sandwich and a packet of crisps along with the mandatory can of coke, but today, I can tell my heart is finally in it again because I didn't cave, for the first time in 3 weeks.
Allbeit I had to drive to a pay-at-pump garage to avoid temptation, but at least I didnt eat the sandwich!!
So, I came home and had a coffee and a bar. It might sound irrelevant but I am really and truly proud of myself - today is the start of the next 3 months.
I have 77 days left on exante (to loose 3 stone... eek) and 91 days 'til THE WEDDING!!!!
I'm so exited. I just hope I can shift 3 stone by then...

You should be really proud of yourself, you made a conscious decision to get petrol from a pay-at-the-pump not at the cheapest just so you didn't get tempted to spoil your diet. It is not worth spending all our money on Exante only to spoil it when you aren't really hungry
4lbs a week is going to be hard. Exante say 14lbs a month and that is 3lbs a week, so you must be 100% committed to TS

Day 50
3lb lost this week! wahay
had a terrible start to the day though, had an emotional morning so gave in to a packet of crisps and can of coke. I feel terrible about it. Not sure whether to give up for the day or to just start over again now with another exante day. I don't really wanna give up for the day, but I've got the taste for food now...! Where's my awesome pre-christmas willpower vanished to?!
