Thread: Exante newbie lots to lose!

Hi Alli have so much weight to lose! 9stone actually. I really want to start, have all my packs ready but every day I get up and I just can't so it! Anyone got any tips for people like me that have failed soapy times in the past that now I fail before I even try! Thank you x

Hi and welcome, you've came to the right place, why don't you try cutting carbs for a f days before you start the shakes? That way you'll already be into/going into ketosis and it's so much easier when your there. Normally takes 3 days. Bob from the biggest loser said don't focus on the challenge ahead focus on today and what you can do today. Hope that helps xxx

Ah thanks that sounds good, it's like I really want this more than anything and then I can't face doing it! So will cut out carbs for next few days and then start. Would you as use cutting out fruit as well? Xx

I'd start trying to get off the fruit too, makes it a bit easier, well did for me anyway - I did Atkins for a few days before coming back on my packs last time round

There is a lot of natural sugars in fruit so I'd lay off them as well, just to make it easier xxx

Ah brilliant thanks xx

hello im just waiting for my items to arrive i have around 6 stone to lose need all help i can get

Ah good luck , I have between 9 and 10 stone to lose but as I've never been slim in my adult life I have no idea really how much I should lose! I'm just gonna see where I feel comfortable. A size 12 would be my ideal. I've started the no carb thing today and all I've had us two eggs, finding it difficult to find things to eat! I think I will start on the shakes on Thursday so I should be entering ketosis then x

hello, i started today, shake, bar and a soup. Been putting it off the last few days due to a family dinner, I also have about 9 stone to lose! I was born bug and stayed that way, tried atkins a year ago and lost 2 stone but never maintained it.

Im on day 5 and have lost half a stone! The first couple of days were hard ( i felt hungry) but its now easy and I dont feel hungry at all. am drinking 2 - 4 litres of water a day - have a can of coke zero everyday (its my treat). I was skeptical but after reading success stories I decided to take the plunge and so glad I did. Seeing the scales ready half a stone less has really motivated me to carry on!! Good luck xx

Wow half a stone already! That's great! I've done we'll on no carbs today, starting to look forward to starting on the shakes on Thursday now x
