    Wally's Got to Get it Done Exante Diary

    HI Fatmumof1 - I think the Exante shakes, bars and meals are, on the whole, pretty good. Like everything, you'll find ones you love and ones you dont, but if you try as many as you can, you will find there are enough you love to keep it interesting. Exante have stopped shipping to the USA, so...

    I've completely lost touch with how many days its been - suffice to say, I am still on plan and going strong. Things are still working for me! I have been incorporating a few meals here and there - mainly chicken breast and salad and it has not hindered my weight loss at all. It has turned a...

    Day 42 - weigh in day today! I have lost 2.5 lbs for a total of 30.5 for 6 weeks. I am happy and chuffed and have treated myself to a new workout outfit to celebrate. Unfortunately I am celebrating in agony with my period and I cannot seem to shake it this month - but nonetheless, I have given...

    Ive lost count of the days - but, still here, still going and just to add to the pressure of my sons exams, everyone working from home, dieting etc. my husband is insisting on walking me each night for about 30 mins - its cold and dark, but I appreciate his efforts to help! I ran the 5k...

    Day 39 and still having a great time! Sticking with the program is pretty easy when you are this far in - when everyone eats around me it doesn't bother me any more.

    Just to add, the doctor thinks that my weight is stalling a bit (I reported the daily weigh ins to him) and that is why he thought to add a meal. I did explain that I was due on in about 4 days - but he looked me straight in the eye and told me that this does not effect weight! I could have...

I am finding the plan wonderful, varied...

    I also must record that I have lost 3 inches since the start of January 2021. I didnt measure myself before, so I am not sure how many I have lost from the start, but those 3 inches are not missed......hoping for a few more next week!

Weigh in day today - so I lost 4lbs which brings me to a total loss of 28lbs which is tantalizingly close to 30lbs - but maybe I'll hit that next week. One of things I have learnt with this diet is patience - things dont happen in a linear way and...

    Day 34 - not a great day yesterday. Was feeling very poorly, I think its because I am not getting enough sleep as my husband snores too much. I still managed to bake fresh bread, clean my sons closet and do some work - so all good in the end. I thought my blood sugars were a little low...

    Isn't it funny that people all judge whatever diet you do? I have a friend who has always been slim to my knowledge and was very judgemental about the Exante products, but then when I asked her what she eats, she was often eating less than me on a busy day - and it wasn't fortified with the...

    Hello All, So here I am again! I guess that is a common story for many of us. I lost a lot of weight back in 2015, then got quite sick with an autoimmune disease. I did keep most of it off and was really happy. But then I moved half way across the world away from my family, had many stressful...

    Weight stuck for 5 days.....HELP!!

    That is really frustrating - could it be water retention because of the heat? If it is not that, then give it another week and if the scales still don't move you might need to see if there is something else wrong.....maybe seeing a medical professional at that point would help. I am so sorry...
  33. Wallywithabrolly

    Weight stuck for 5 days.....HELP!!

    Hey, Don't worry too much - it can be a number of things which have caused the scale to stop moving at the moment - the key culprits are probably water retention (from the heat or too much sodium) or just your body catching up with the weight you are at. It is almost impossible to not lose...

    Imitt -

    Kira's rights - if its coming off then its not going on - think about where you would be in 12 months time if you didn't diet - would you be heavier and happier or heavier and more miserable? My bet is heavier and more miserable! I once used a weight loss predictor website that predicted that if...
