    3rd Time Starting

    Thanks, yeah I tend to lose a lot fast then flatten out to between 4lbs - 6lbs a week. I never learn though, I have had knee replacements and shoulder ops and you would think I would know that being over weight would hurt, but no, I love ice cream to much.Well this time has to be different.

    Lil I am sure he will come close, it all depends on how much he has to lose though. Buxom, 4lbs is not bad considering that you had already lost 20lbs on slimfast. Thanks everyone.

    Hi Starlight, I know, but it is not the whole definition. gloat intr.v. gloat·ed, gloat·ing, gloats To feel or express great, often malicious, pleasure or self-satisfaction No problems though.

    Oh I agree Biz, but the same products that we bought last year are the same we buy now and I am sure you are not the 1st to ask this type of question. They may argue it is their way of keeping prices down because to be honest they are way cheaper than anyone else. But yeah, I agree with you.

    Well done Biz, we did the same thing last year, June I think it was about including more flavours, they told us they were looking into it so it seems they may not be keen to change to anything.

    Exante, the lazy diet

    This is the mother of all diets without question. Lazy diet? probably. Easy? never. I do agree with some that I could not be bothered with WW or any other diet like that. I seriously could not be bothered counting points etc. I have tried WW, lost weight but got sick and tired of the work...

    Roberta, 1stly great losses may I say, an inspiration to everyone who reads this. I cannot say what it is you should be doing as I know every little about these things but should you perhaps start introducing food. The Exante website has information about this.

    Hi mummy, hang in there, all will be fine. I find it harder and harder the longer I do this diet. The cravings get stronger and the smells seems even more delightful.
  73. M

    Oh how I love the 1st week.

    Hi Bobbi, I like them all to be honest, if I had to choose, probably Vanilla and Tomato for the soups.

    Oh how I love the 1st week.

    Thanks Starlight. Another 2lbs, thats 12lbs after the 1st 3 days. As you can imagine and i am happy.

    Oh how I love the 1st week.

    For me it is hard enough to worry about the cravings, the temptation to eat and drink, to then have to stop myself from doing something that will do me no harm with regards to the diet is just crazy, but each to their own. I get motivated by a 2 ounce loss so i see no harm in weighing myself...

    To be honest I am not sure but I think you should not expect to lose 10 lbs, i think being on the diet means you will not but then I am no expert. 10lbs is huge and you have already lost quite a bit, so i would say no, be prepared for about half that. My 1st week on Exante last year i lost...

    Advice from Exante peeps

    Hi Dappy, I only drink the shaks but I have never done a vlvd before so I cannot compare. I enjoy all the shakes, they are creamy, but a lot of people have them in various ways, frozen lollies, ice cold, etc. I just have mine 3 times a day as normal.

    Day 43

    I have bought a new fish tank, more important than new clothes.
  134. M

    Day 43

    probably because I am to tight to spend money every couple of weeks on new clothes
  135. M

    Day 43

    You certainly do notice it once it starts coming back. My other bit of good news is that my work shirts look like tents on me and I will not buy new ones until I get to my goal and my administrators tell me every day how I look and that makes me feel good.

    BMI

    Some questions about Exante

    Hi Starlight, I will leave some of the answers to the more knowledgable, I just drink my shakes, stay in ketosis, and everything seems to be going very very well. What I can say is that it all depends on how much you currently weigh. I would imagine it will be slower the less you have to lose...

    I am no expert in this area but I would imagine it depends on how big you are and how old you are. The older you get the more the skin loses its elastisity (excuse the spelling) and as for how big you are, the bigger you are the more skin you will have that cannot go back to normal. If you...
