[jeanette78]

Hi shoebe, back a bit better, just a nagging ache at the moment
Yes, u won't diet if ur mind isn't 100% in it hav a fresh start wed, then u can weigh the same day as me
U know what my mam says lol, if u don't enjoy it, then the calories don't count so I take it that the choc was awful????

You're welcome Lucy, it will prob take a few days to get into ketosis, stick with it as its well worth it, i have lost 5st 9lb altogether, and been on exante since end of last may, with breaks for holidays (4 weeks in total) and a break for Xmas (7th DEC till 1st Jan) so keep on it and keep us informed

Afternoon shoebe, damp and showery here, more like april showers lol, as have had the odd bit of sunshine and blue skies
Also if my scales are right, am now only 1.5 lb off to getting under the nxt stone will then be 1/2 lb under, hope to do that by wed, tall order as my weight loss has been poor over the last few weeks, hav los 1.5 lb so far this week, so think 3 lb would be a miracle!!!

Wow that is so amazing! Don't know much about exante how many cals is it per day? How much we're the initial loses? You have done amazing! I can't think far just aiming at the next 1.5 stone off!

 

[jeanette78]

Hi lucy, exante is 600 cals a day, similar to CD in it has shakes, porridge(lush), soups, bars and a variety of meals all for 108 pounds a month. But they hav an offer on at the moment, (till tomoro) of pick ur own 84 products for 84 pounds.
I lost 9lb on shake that weight, then went on hols and put on 6.5lb and lost 10.5 lb on exante on return. Then hav averaged between 2.5lb and 4.5lb a week, lost 11lb after xmas, but had put on nearly a st in 3 weeks . It sounds slow but I hav never been able to lose weight quick, but hav only to look at something to put it on

That's really good, I am hoping for some big loses to spurt me on! Need to do it this time as it makes me so unhappy!

Hi all I've been following slim and save since end if nov lost 2 stone 5lbs with a few planned days off & Xmas! I get married in 14 weeks and absolutely desperate to lose 2.7 stone I've been doing a mixture of 3 packs and 1 bar or 3 packs and 1 low carb meal! Has anyone had success from just going hardcore and doing 4 shakes a day? No meals, veg, bars or milk?
I'm desperate and yes I've done well I started at 15.5 currently 13 stone but need to get to 10.7-11 stone to fit in my wedding dress eeeeeek!

 

[jeanette78]

H i am on exante, and have 3 packs a day (600 cals) i don't have any low carb meals, and have either soup, porridge, bars or a meal pack. have shakes, but am off them at the moment due to the cold weather I've lost 5st 9lb doing this, so if u go TS u can lose a stone a month, so u will be at ur goal well before ur wedding in 14 weeks.

Wow that's amazing well done you! Bet you feel like a new women I hope so! I know it says in the literature that the losses are a stone a month with most if not all vlcd's just wanted to see who actually does it and succeeds! Are you managing to maintain? It's freezing isn't it, it does make doing a vlcd abit harder when cold but I have my shakes hot which is fine when at home bit of a pain when working though

Hi, if u want a change they are selling lighter life fast meals in superdrug, they are supposed to be for the 5;2 diet, but they are the same as normal lighterlife meals. i have tried the bars, as a change from mine, and they are very nice, they do porridge and meal packs as well. u could try one now and again for a change.

I lost more than a stone the first month, about 20lb, then i am averaging between 2lb and 4lb a week, i lose very slowly normally, so i am happy with my weight loss. but some people lose up to 7lb a week, lucky so and so's

[jeanette78]

Hi shoebe, thanx. am glad, also, (not being big headed) but having going down from size 24 to a 16-18 , when i look in the mirror, i'm sure they have one of those mirrors that make u look smaller,like evans have in some of their stores. my mam says no, but praps she's just saying that lol. i can't believe that it's me, i think???

I hate the wind and rain, especially the wind, as its very dangerous. we have been lucky here, as its more the west and north than us in the south east. hope u are ok as well?

Now that ur back to normal, re ur family, u can start afresh. pain, really re ur box. why so long? when i have it the following day? why don't u buy some shakes from superdrug? they stock lighterlight fast, which is the same as our shakes, praps a little less calories, at 175.

Well done so amazing! I can't imagine how happy you are!
Yeah ok but felt soooooo hungry today I don't know why!? I had personal training today and pt measured water levels and said very dehydrated?! I know I am not drinking enough as was worried it would stay in system, does it really flush it out?

 

[jeanette78]

Thanx lucy, how much water are u drinking? i know i struggle to get to 2.5 ltrs, but when having soup i put in 300 mls instead of 200, and if having a shake i put in 250 mls and plenty of ice, so praps having 2.5 ltrs - 3ltrs a day. i know its supposed to be 3ltrs - 4ltrs a day, but i never get to that level. it does flush out, as when i am good at the water intake, i live in the toilet lol also u need the water for nutrients or something, and it helps keep u full as well.

Thats so useful to know I guess I will prob weigh heavier if drinking more but it will flush out?? I a. Prob only drinking 1.5 I want to drink flavoured do you think that's ok??

 

[jeanette78]

U can have ribena plus sugar free, also u can buy water flavourings from exante, not sure if u can from your company. also if u fancy a hot drink buy marigold bouillon, its a stock drink, it quite nice. 1.5ltrs isn't enough, you are worse than me lol
