Thread: Have to do this

Hello,
I am a 39 year old mother of 2, as my 40th looms I really want to tackle my weight. I am almost 6' and weigh 15 stone 10 pounds as of this morning. This is such a big step forward for me, actually posting my weight and details and I hope it will be the incentive to keep going. As of last Monday I have been doing my own version of a vlcd. I have been having an exante shake for breakfast, an exante bar for lunch and a soup for dinner. I found I was very weak and lightheaded so I have been eating chicken breast to help with this. I cannot stomach the exante soups, they make me gag so I bought some extra protein meal bars in my local health shop and I am probably going to have a shake for breakfast with a bar for both lunch and dinner. I have quite a busy job which doesn't involve much sitting so I am quite active during the day.
I don't know my start weight as this morning was my first weigh-in. My height and large frame means that I have been able to disguise my weight for a long time- I know longer want to hide from myself. I feel this type of diet is the best for me as I am an 'all or nothing' kind of person.
Thanks

ps just realised I shouldn't have said I am doing my own version of a vlcd! I am actually doing the Exante programme- I ordered a month's supply, it's just that I cannot bear the soups and have to replace them with something.

Hello and welcome, why not come over to the Exante forum on here? Some do add other bars in Exante - MiniMins.com - Weight Loss Support Forum

Thanks, will hop over straight away.

I know you're probably over at the Exante forum now, but I just wanted to say GOOD ON YOU for posting here and taking this first step forward. Best of luck!
