Ha Ha I have just started & savoured my choc drops yesterday! It good cos I am always one to play with food so I can still do so!
I did well on Lighterlife 2 years ago & started on Exante yesterday (LL too expensive for me) It was the same there, you either love or hate the soups. I gave everything a try once & usually found myself left with packs of food I didn't like. Only prob there was that by the end of the week you had no choice left. I also really liked bars (for convenience & something to chew) so bought a months worth of shakes & bars. They are all good so far! Good tip on the tesco bars too if choice seems lacking I will give them a try.

The porridge is lovely and creamy..it hard to eat it all as I feel full before I finish due to drinking water with it... I'm not a big water drinker, fulid fullstop is my down fall hence the headaches. I'm having the porridge three times a day at the moment.

My 'habits' have been a bit funny too! But have had the opposite problem to what people usually have on Exante if you know what I mean :-/ no problems since day 3 though thank goodness!
I like the bars too, they're really convenient as you say and I have them every day for my lunch.
I've ordered some porridge forth my next box so looking forward to it! If you find any yummy ways of eating it then let us know

Ahh glad you got little one's finger sorted, bless. Dizziness has passed thank you, not had my soup yet but will have it about 9. My tummy is making lots of noise today! Dog keeps looking at me all gone out wondering what the noise is?! Think I'm gonna stop taking my vitamin tablets- don't need them with the sachets having 100% RDAs in.
Good to hear about more positives effects of exante- my skin is glowing now which is a nice change! Looking forward to weigh in :-D

Shoebedoo you must have done well if you feel that your tummy has tightened up! I don't feel or look any different..l clothes still feel the same and body still looks the same in the mirror *humph*
Today I was thinking about food far too much, probably because I was back at work. Lunch time wasn't nice- colleague had a ham sandwich and it could have been a gourmet meal, it looked amazing. All I could think about was McDonalds and chinese takeaway! Wasn't even hungry, just feeling greedy. Ended up having my bar early at about 1 which took the edge off! Feeling quite hungry now but it's too early for my dinner so having a bouillon and might go for a short run with the dog.

My cravings have gone woop woop! Sounds like you had an action packed day shoebs! Had mushroom soup for tea with some mild curry powder, yummy. My next box comes through tomorrow, hooray! Got a plan for the next month of what I'm eating each day to avoid having the same thing back to back.
Since doing Exante I've been much more organised- can't work out why?! Maybe I'm spending the time that I would usually worry about food, packed lunch, what to have for dinner, food shopping etc., on other things. House is super clean and tidy! It's nice not to have to fuss about what I'm having to eat.
Only one day left before weigh in. Fingers crossed! We've been so good!

I don't tend to watch any soaps as up until recently I worked shifts so I'm not really into anything yet! I watch a good drama on sky called Touch, I love love love the cookery shows and also have a guilty pleasure of The Only Way Is Essex... Don't think I'll be having food yet. Maybe see how I feel on Wednesday after weigh in but want to give myself the best chance I can! Found a fab channel on sky tonight, 'fitness tv'- they sometimes have fitness classes in between the rubbish teleshopping, I did Zumba tonight! Really glad nobody was watching me though
