Hi guys. Figured I'd write a diary too.

I'm 22. Been struggling to lose weight all year. Thought I'd hit the magic balance between exercise and eating healthy yet losing stopped and no matter what calorie intake or gym intensity I do, the weight isn't going anywhere argh!

So a friend introduced me to Exante. It's PERFECT. No measuring, no battling with HOW much to put on my plate- no eating something just because it's going to go off otherwise and be wasted (hazard if you live on your own and cant foister it off on a

hubby or a kid) and most of all I don't feel hungry. Told a friend the other day he could wave a muffin in front of me and I could smell it and still say no

I'm on Day 4. And hoping to lose 3 stone.. If I actually lose all that this year I'll totally cry!

Gonna update this daily with observations and hope its useful for someone else or someone reads it and decides they CAN do it because maybe I did

Thanks Julie

Wasn't impressed by the scales this morning so just did 23 minutes cardio- burnt quite a few cals on the eliptical so gotta be careful I dont overdo it but I feel energised happy and not achey! yay! =D

I wouldnt worry youre so close to your target- its supposed to get harder the lighter you are unfortunately! Xx

**fortyandfat** · 7th August, 2011

Morning

I just wanted to say that 3 stones is very much achievable to lose for this year.

I will look forward to following your progress !

**Katt** · 8th August, 2011

Good luck Candy , I am sure you will soon be saying goodbye to that 3 stone

**Quirky_Candy** · 8th August, 2011

Thanks Katt! Today has been exhausting =( Tired, brain wont work properly! Not seeing much of a change on the scales either =( all this effort and its not falling off like it is for everyone else =( Feeling low but wont break the diet- its day 5 so i gotta be strong and give it the whole month! Xx

**Katt** · 8th August, 2011

I lost 5 pounds - everyone else seems to lose twice that in week one and it is easy to get down about it - but better 5 pounds off than on eh? Try not to weigh in everyday as your weight will jump all over the place and make you feel you are not doing well - maybe we will have a big loss next week hun

**Quirky_Candy** · 8th August, 2011

I bl**dy well hope so! I need some positivity to come from somewhere- I know I'm naturally inclined to get down, i self medicate with food and then gym so i know its just not going to the gym and not eating much is getting to me but I can do it- need to distract myself and be around friends- shame I dont live with family =( I did go on an amazing date saturday and the guy was sweet as honey! I could have drizzled him everywhere hehe! So thats something positive to think about, I'll concentrate on happy thoughts! I've been cheating slightly and THINKING I'm eating food, chewing it in my mind and tbh it just as good a hit as the real thing! Until I realise there's nothing in my mouth and drink a load of water hehe.. I reckon when I break through this slump I'll feel excellent.. because the weights got to come off right! I'm not eating enough for it to maintain! Xx

Day 6 and I don't feel as bad as yesterday - definitely lost more- just two days til my weigh-in so I'm on track I think. So good to feel the scales go down, really needed to see that. Havent broken the diet at all and I am definitely in ketosis because I havent broken the diet at all but I dont feel bad for it, just happy that I'm sticking by my goals for once and taking control of my silly self! Tomorrow will be a week on the diet but as I didnt really start eating the foods til the afternoon (the packs arrived at 3pm) I'm gonna make my weigh days every Friday...

Looking forward to tomorrow, mushroom and strawberry day =D Good day

**Katt** · 9th August, 2011

WTG you for having such a good week so far - I have got to day 9 100% and it does feel good to be in control - we can do this!!! Hope you have a fab WI day xx

**KT B** · 9th August, 2011

You are doing fantastically! Keep going and I'm sure your WI will be awesome!!

**Quirky_Candy** · 11th August, 2011

Weigh in day and all I've lost is 4lbs =( It's a loss but it's not as dramatic as I'd have liked- now that I'm used to the diet I'm hitting the gym as soon as I can after work and making sure next weeks weigh-in beats that! Work hasn't helped, this c*** looked me in the eyes and said 'you are the way you are, you arent going to lose any weight are you?' he said it in this matter of tone, 'youre just kidding yourself and im just laughing at you' tone.. people like that make me not want to eat ever again :'( and hes a fat c***!
*sigh*
Not an amazing weight loss at all but I have lost 4lbs so I guess I should feel positive.. hoping my posts become more positive as the weeks go on guys sorry! Xx
