I've done a couple of Exante diaries in the past, and to be fair it works well for me when I stick to it. This year I'm back to see if I can reach my goal!
I want to lose 3 stone which will take me down to 11stone 7lbs - top end of healthy BMI for me.
First time I did Exante I lost 2 and a half stone in around 8 weeks and felt fantastic. Since then I've done it here and there but my heart hasn't been in it.
I've only started a diary now as I'm on day 15 and so have made it through the first fortnight and I'm still not giving up, so I may be in it properly again.
There are no excuses for me this time. I work from home and manage my own diary. My children are getting more independent by the month, I now have a dog. I have space and equipment to exercise at home. I have the money to buy Exante. I have a kettle and a blender.
So far my losses have been better than before, with 12lb in the first week and 4.5lb the second week. Last Sunday I had to eat dinner at my mum's and today my dad is coming round for lunch, so I will need to eat again.
I've already heard the little voice saying "you're going to have to eat lunch, you might as well have some breakfast too" but I've ignored it and taken the dog out on a soggy 5k walk!
I'm already noticing my clothes fitting better and when I had my hair done yesterday the hairdresser noticed I'd lost some weight so that was a boost (unless she says that to all her customers to cheer them up - but she's never said that to me before!).
Downside is I keep ordering outfits that are too small from Vinted in the idea that they'll be motivational, but actually it just means my wardrobe is filled with things still in little grey postage bags that don't fit!
I've loved reading diaries on here - particularly the ones where people just stick to it and see the results even when life throws curve balls, so hoping to create one a bit like that for others and myself to read.
