    Exante Support Group - join us if you are on Exante VLCD

    Finally my weight has started moving again ~ a 3lbs loss this week. Hopefully that's the start of a run of losses;););) Really, considering I went from lipotrim eating nothing to exante where I do eat I'm glad I only STS, I could've put on weight.... How's everyone doin'?

    What Clothes size are you in today? and Weight

    Oh to be tall:cry::cry: It takes me at least 2stone to move a dress size. When I was 15st 10lb I was a tight 18, now I'm 13st 7lb I'm a 16.......... and no, I'm nowhere near a 14. I can only think it's because at 5' 1" and a classic pear shape, I'm very 'compact' (stocky by any other name:D)...

    Introduction ~ Moving from Lipotrim

    Hello everyone:D:D Just saying hi.............. I've decided after 6 weeks to move from Lipotrim to Exante. Nothing wrong with LT, in fact I've done well on it losing 24lbs in 6 weeks but now I need a change. The shakes/soup is the only thing I have on LT but I really need something portable...

    starting, stopping, restarting

    Lots of people on here have said that's it's extremely hard to restart sole sourcing once you stop. It's probably psychological so it could be different if yours is a planned break as opposed to unplanned (:break_diet:) If that's the case you may be ok. If your body rebels tho cos it knows whats...

    wk 9 weigh in

    You've lost an amazing amount already! I can understand your disappointment tho cos I've had the same this week. I think its easier to keep motivated on Lipotrim when you have big losses but if you don't it feels like you're going without for nothing:confused: Anyway, hopefully we'll both have...

    Exercise

    I think it's good to exercise while losing weight, even Lipotrim. You'll be toning while you're losing and get into good habits (hopefully). I do a lot of hill walking but don't really know how it's affected my weight loss. I just know I'm climbing them hills easier now.............

    weak willed - dont know how you do it

    I have had a couple of blips......... it's a hard diet but so worth the results. The main thing is, if you do fall off the wagon get straight back on it. The first week is the worst but after that you're not hungry. I found it's the actual habit of eating food that's the killer, not the hunger...

    What do you think of the Peanut Bars

    Had a peanut bar yesterday for the first time. I was in London for the day and didn't want to carry shakes etc round (don't want to look silly now, do I?)

    Hi to all you newbies......... you won't regret doing lipotrim. The first week is definately the worst - I found days 4-5 really bad. But stick with it, it really does get better. If you have your 3 packs a day and drink plenty of water you honestly don't get hungry. It's just the habit of...

    Exercise - does it help?

    I think its beneficial to do some exercise while on a VLCD. Your body needs to tone up and muscles are made to work. I go on an exercise bike every morning and walk instead of taking the car whenever possible. When I weighed more I used to get that horrible cold sweat shaky thing whenever I went...

    Boots for bigger calves

    Duo boots are fantastic. They do cost a lot but you can usually find a bargain in their sales if you're quick. Plus, they last forever. I wear mine every day, all winter and the last pair lasted 3 years! My current pair wont be worn next year though - they'll be too bit:D Boots sell well on...

    Fantastic weight loss (again!!) Kirsten. Sounds like you'll be appreciated in your new job - I've never had any respect for the companies that have tried to treat me like rubbish - don't let them get away with it!! Sounds like your new boss has high expectations though. (no pressure then)

    How often do you need to buy new clothes

    So far its not been a problem cos I've only dropped one size. I was squeeeeeeeezing into 18s long after I needed 20s so 18's are now loose. I already had 16's (from when I was going to lose weight!!) and now I have I can wear them. At the time I couldn't get my head round buying big sizes so...

    Making Crisps

    I make mine a bit runnier so it doesn't make peaks. Think warm babyfood!! Never tried making a muffin but the crisps are really good if you can get them right. I make up half a packet of veg soup at a time. But you can make a whole packet and keep some in an airtight container. HTH

    Feeling cold or what.

    I'm still waiting to cool down! That didn't come out right. What I mean is, I'm overweight and get overheated all the time. Even now I rarely have my heating on and shopping is a pain with all the stores heated. I'm hoping when I'm thinner I'll cool down!!

    What's Makes Minimins A Good Place For You To Be?

    It's where people truly understand how meaningless the usual advice about losing weight is. The number of times I've been told 'just eat less and exercise more' amazes me. If it was that simple we could say to smokers 'just don't light up' and the world would be hunky dory. No-one who hasn't...

    just found this on another site (long thread!!)

    Like everyone else, I didn't embark on a VLCD lightly (no pun intended). I researched it and decided that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. How bad is it to be 6 stone overweight?? A lot worse for your health long term than perhaps a year on a VLCD. All I can say is it works for...

    I don't think its just older GP's that have this attitude. When I asked for help with my weight from my doctor (who is probably about 30) he gave me a list of foods I could and couldn't eat - as if I didn't know the theory already!! I then asked a young female doctor and she offered me those...

    What Flavours Do You Recommend???

    Silly, I know, but ever since I tried the spicy tomato soup I'm a bit wary of trying the others. I was smelling that stuff for hours!!!!!!! Anyway, like the banana, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla but want a savoury now. Any that you think are good (bearing in mind the above)? Ta xxx
