Hello everybody :)
I've battled with my weight for as long as i care to remember, but it's time i have the last laugh! :)
I have been yo-yoing for years, and have even been a skinny minny a few times! It has always got me in the end though, So here i am again back up to almost 15st, but so much stronger in mind with a lot more confidence, Which is something i havnt been before. I will win :)
It's day 2 of my Exante Total Solutions and my will power is at it's best.
Good luck to everybody :) xx
Hello ExanteDreamer!!
I too am 5'7" and want to get to 10st. Was steady at 11st for years until a relationship went sour. Before and after that I've always been bigger. Got to 17st 2 years ago and lost 6st on LighterLife but put 2.5 back on, lost it again with exante then put it back on AGAIN!!
But this time I really hope I can get to 10st and stay there....
Good Luck!!

Hi Laura :)
Best of luck hun, and congratulations on your weight loss so far. This is the year! xx
Day 2 done.
Really enjoying Vanilla shakes with coffee! Infact, I love all the shakes luckily as i only have them! Going strong at the moment, Havnt been feeling hungry although cant deny my childrens food doesnt look yummy! Still, I know i can eat food again and am not banned for life so who cares. I will enjoy food a lot more when im eating it slim and healthy after all :) Im excited about my first weigh-in day Tuesday. I was cheeky and jumped on the scales this evening though but i wont give anything away until i have done a full week :) I have joined the January Mini Challenge (To lose 14lbs this month) and im feeling confident so here's hoping. Hope everyone else on Exante is feeling good and doing well so far, We can do this, Its only food, Nothing tastes as good as slim feels as they say. Hopefully i will keep up this attitude LOL xx
Also love vanilla with coffee think ill have one tomorrow :) xx your doing fab ill look forward to your weigh in on Tuesday xxQuote:

Day 3 :) Feeling good today, Not feeling hungry and am definitely now in Ketosis, Yay :D I was the last one awake at 1am and decided to go up to bed. I had foul breathe! So i thought id try a Ketostix just to see if i had any signs of being in Ketosis, as i know one of the signs is bad breathe. Im in Ketosis! Had a nice dark reading, and checked again this morning and here is the reading:

Im happy with that, Just going to make sure i drink more water today aswell as i dont want to be dehydrated. Today im also going to get on the exercise bike, I havnt jumped on yet, Infact iv spent the last couple of days in the house playing the Christmas games with my daughters, So cant say iv moved hardly. I said id do 20-30 minutes today so i will get on the bike soon. Iv had my favourite Vanilla coffee shake this morning, so good.
Oh, and i just couldnt resist the scales! It read 14st 8lbs first thing this morning so a -4 loss in 2 days so far :D Will be getting some exercise starting today though. Hope everyone else is feeling ok :) xx
Lucky girl !! 4lbs down already is fab :D
I have all the shakes in coffee. I dont mind them cold, but I prefer them all like that. It just seems easier to fit into my routine that way :)
I hope ya get another 4lb+ for your WI :D
Thank you :) Resisting the weighing scales is so much harder than resisting food!
Hope you are ok hun and doing well :)
I got off my butt and got a lot done today so am happy. Had to cook 9 meals for family all through the day too including a roast dinner, but i stayed strong and still have one shake to go which i will have after a nice soak in the bath soon :) xx
Awwwww sounds like your all doing great! i am so gonna try this vanilla coffee shake it sounds awesome!!!!
Day 3 coming to and end, Woop :)
I have become addicted to this forum! Love it. Found today great again so i hope i keep this feeling and sail through the other days, Here's hoping. I havnt been out anywhere since Monday, as my daughters are on school holidays still, so we have been cleaning and playing all the Christmas stuff. We're going to watch a Cinderella pantomime tomorrow so i guess it will be my first outing since i started Exante on Tuesday. I will have a shake before i go in the morning but i dont think il be home until around 4pm, So im going to have to just lump it and wait until i get back for the second shake. Will also probably weigh in the morning to see if iv lost another lb, Talk about adictive!
Im not a lover of water but iv found drinking it from a squeezy sports bottle makes it much easier for me to stomach. At the moment im loving Coke Zero but dont have too much. Iv seen Dr Pepper Zero too so will pick some up when im shopping.
All in all i am happy with how things are going! Just had a lovely hot soak in the bath and then my final shake, a gorgeous Vanilla with coffee. Oh my God i could drink them forever, Absolutely gorgeous!!! I add a teeny amount of coffee so its really creamy with a hint of latte taste :)
Now im gonna TRY and go watch all the soaps iv missed this week on Catch Up, but again i will probably be distracted with the forum and still be back and forth here all night lol xx
As suspected, I am still on here lol. Just been looking through all the amazing weigh loss photo's, Wow :) Even more excited and determined now.
Problem is, It inspired me too much, and now i have taken 3 'before' shots in the undies. I could vomit. Seriously HOW have i let myself get so gross! Glad i have the pictures now, I look utterly vile lol. I will take the same 3 shots everytime i lose 1st and compare them :) xx
Hmmm. I checked my Ketosis a few minutes ago, After drinking water for the last hour, and it is barely a reading. Im now worried that having Coke Zero has knocked me out of Ketosis? It says its allowed though, So i dont know. I will test again in the morning when my wee wont be so watered down, Hopefully i will get a dark reading to set me up for the day! Probably wont be on here until evening time as i am taking my daughters to a Pantomime tomorrow, Stay strong everyone :) xx
If you were in ketosis before, and havent eaten, you should in theory still be in ketosis. It will be diluted because of all the liquid you are drinking ;)
I dont bother with the stix any more. I always found them a bit hit and miss. :)
Thank you and best of luck! :) xxQuote:
