Thread: Celebrity slim girl thinking of moving to Exante

Hi Everyone,

I don't get on line much but I am after help/advice from all you knowledgeable people on if that's okay.

The celebrity Slim forum is so unbelievably quite I feel very alone doing this diet. We don't have much cash and although I have been doing celeb slim for @ 4 weeks I bought them when they were selling off cheap on the web and so got 3 weeks for the standard 1 week price in Superdrug Once I have used up what I have left (less than 2 weeks) I am not sure what to do. I could buy more CSlim but the price is better value if I got a months bumper pack from Exante and the reviews I have read on it sound really good compared to the other VLCDs.

Celeb slim for those who might not have come across it from what I have read its closer to your you working solution (I think). 2 shakes (or soups) a day but I am also allowed 3 snacks (under 100 cals each and much be low/no carbs) and an evening meal with protein and salad or veg - maybe more like slimfast when I describe it like that though....

I am guessing I will not get the great losses others get as I am already on a restricted cal diet. Is that true though or have I assumed too much? Would it be worth me considering a month on Exante total (I have plenty to loose and I have GPs approval)
Would you still think I could loose a stone-ish in a month on exante if I was 100% and then if I found I couldn't carry on slowly re-introduce the no carbs low cal evening meal and back onto Celeb slim? I know there is a lot of talk about not swapping around VLCD and not mixing and matching but I guess I am interested to do a month on exante and then make a decision if we can justify the money...

I am sorry I am rambling on so much and probably none of this makes any sense. I am just so happy to see the scales coming down over the last 6 weeks I am nervous to mess with what I know works (but slower than exante)

Sorry one last point is although I know I am still heavy we are hoping to try for baby number 2 soon as my first is 4years old next month so I don't have all the time in the world to do this slowly and get to 10 stone. I am looking to loose another couple of stone and then I will be at the same weight I was when I fell pregnant with my first. Although I weigh a lot I am very active and gym 4 times a week and two of them are spinning which I love. Do you think I will need to cut back on that if I go 100%? It hasn't affecting the celeb slim so far..

Okay sorry I will stop now or you will all know my life story - mind you maybe everyone is asleep by now.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Essay over and thanks for any advice anyone has for my confused brain!

Morning

I say you should give exante a try I lost a stone in 3 weeks, my sister lost that in her first week, in the beginning you'll probably have to cut down on the gym, I'm currently doing 2 classes a week. Then just build it up from there. You've already made a good start on a low calorie diet so you may or may no see a huge loss on week 1. Instead of going back to celeb slim why don't you just continue with exante that way your not mixing products.

I done 4 wks ts and am now onto my 3rd week of ws. Adapt it to suite you

Yeah come join us exante estimate losses of 12-16lbs a month and most VLCDs just say no new exercise in the first two weeks so if you're used to it already you may be ok

Thank you both for your responses they really mean a lot to me - though I re-read my message and didn't realise how much I had going around my head. I think I will bite the bullet and order a bumper pack at pay day and then see how I go. I must have been a bit dim but I hadn't even though about changing onto Working solution after a month. I must say I have been reading so much on this forum while thinking about the change I already know I would benefit from all the support you give to each other rather than the tumble weeds blowing through the celeb slim forum.

Big thanks again and I wish you both tons of successive oh your journeys

Hello and welcome!

Come and join us!

Hi and welcome to exante

Don't get ripped off.... Buy the "Superdrug Meal Replacement Shakes" they are only 4.99 (or 2 for 6.99). They taste like a normal milkshake and are so so tasty I simply don't see the point in paying any more for what is the same diet AND why not drink the nice shakes

I have wanted to read your diary for months now and still can't find it! The link doesn't work for me xx

just looked, the Silver and Gold members diary sections are marked private on the forum which may be why

Found her now Jael

They are hidden until you have made 1,500 posts xx

ah I see, I'm way off then lol

Is that what they are then? I wasn't sure what the silver and gold actually meant?

hang on, I can see them?

That's odd! If you click them, you shouldn't be able to see all the diaries inside them xx
