Thread: Aaron's Exante Diary

Ohhh good plan good plan. I am a MASSIVE lover of hot sauces and I e-mailed exante today to see if its possible to have hot sauce in your soup while doing total solution and they said it was ok.

I love encona west indian sauce, and it has 31cals and 4.9g carbs per 100ml, and a whole bottle is 142ml so I think thats pretty alright! Going to try it with my soups anyway, if anything negative happens I'll stop but it makes the soups taste a MILLION TIMES BETTER!

anythings worth a try to makes things more palatable as long as it doesnt chuck you out of ketosis

will you try the tesco bars?

h x

I'm not sure about them, I haven't seen them about, where abouts in a Tesco do they sell them? Probably a weird question sorry lol... I'm out tonight for a friends birthday but I'm driving so I'll have to stick to water no matter what :-)

Are the bars just ss good as the Exante bars? I don't really know much about them :-P

Oh and I'm also well into day 5 yay!

i havent bought them for a while as i stockpiled the last lot i got lol but as far as i can remember they were with the slimming stuff, i e slimfast, running bars, that sort of thing

id definately give them a try. id say they were far superior to the exante bars which i used to find hard to get through

and well done on reaching day 5!! yay lol

Soooo, haven't posted in a couple of days... Haven't really done too great this weekend, was as good as gold through the week, then weekend, ouch.

I weighed myself on friday, and I weighed myself again today, and I haven't lost anything over the weekend, but at least I haven't gained anything either lol but yeah, definitely still going, sat here now just sipping a soup with a bottle of water. Anyway, it wasn't a blowout or anything at the weekend, I just had... a pizza... on Saturday night because I wanted a drink and then I had some eggs on Sunday morning...

But yeah, whew... Lets draw a line under that!

Its amazing how much of a total failure it makes me feel writing this lol

Oh and I feel like I should add, that I have actually no other alternative than to lose weight because I really, really need to... So I feel really good at just getting straight back into it today.

youve drawn a line under it and moved. thats all you can do, now just forget about it.tomorrow is another day

h x (nwell done on your loss)

Thanks harriet, third day into week 2 tomorrow and going good.

Watching a program at the minute on Sky about a couple of large teenagers who have lost loads of weight and it shown a clip from one of them, of some probe inside her stomache as she was having a gastric bypass, and omg, it really knocked me ill... The amount of disgusting fat that was just all over the place... THIS is inspiration to lose weight...

Need to watch more things like this...

Week 2, Day 3... Just had my mushroom soup at work, tasted really crappy today. Didn't enjoy it at all! Feeling a bit miserable aswell today, so I can feel an early night coming on lol... Tried some jeans on last night, 38 waist, they don't fit me at all just yet but I wanted to at least see what they were like on me just so in a few weeks I can try again and see where I'm upto!

I ideally want to fit into size 34 jeans, and I know I've got a long way to go yet but I want to be here for the long run. Hoping by the end of March I'll have made some nice progress toward that goal.

Looking forward to the weekend!

So today has been a really really hard day. Felt really hungry allllll day, and just fed up! Got home from work, had another shake which made me feel better, I then did some weights and did half an hour on my exercise bike which has made me feel much better. I'm going to try and do a bit of cycling each night, and my weights each morning and night aswell. Hoping doing that will make a positive difference, who knows!

Hoping tomorrow is a better day. Thursday, almost Friday!!! I know I'm only halfway through week 2 but I don't really feel any different yet, not feeling slimmer yet... Can't wait until I get my first "wow you look like you've lost weight" comment, that is the boost I need!

Gaaahhhh. Today is another hard day, just feeling really hungry these past 2 days... Had a sneaky early weigh this morning and so far I'm 3.5 pounds down, not baaad!

Last night I ended up in bed at 8... watching Pineapple Express (good film), then probably fell asleep around half 9... I'm a total lightweight on this diet.

If I continue feeling like this then no doubt tonight will be another early film night... Quite enjoy them though :P really looking forward to next weeks weigh in. I'm determined to be 100% this weekend and that combined with the exercise I hope to do this weekend, Monday's weigh in should be a decent one.

Right. This diary has actually been invaluable these past couple of days because I need to moan AGAIN about how hard today has been. There was a buffet at work which I managed to resist, absolutely proud of myself for that... Sandwiches, cream cakes, pork pies (which I LOVE), pasta, potato salad etc... Was all there... and then I resisted going out for a few drinks with work colleagues, and then to top it all off, I resisted getting a McDonalds whilst out shopping and being hungry as hell...

So I'm proud of myself for that, pleased to still be absolutely 100% after all that temptation.

Not sure I have the energy to do any cycling tonight, going to see how I feel a bit later on

Hey Aaron it seems to be going great so far, just wanted to pop in and say hi and wish you luck hi!

Thanks DustQueen great weightloss!

Didn't manage any cycling or anything last night, was really blown out, woke up this morning and felt alot better, don't feel as hungry or as miserable as I have felt these past 2 days, so I'm hoping this weekend will be a breeze! YAY for Friday!

Had another weigh in this morning and it looks like I might be on track for a 5lbs loss this week, naaaaaaice!

Secret Santa at work today, with a buffet. Time to give my willpower another brutal workout
