Exante Diet day1 242lbs

[PerfectPudding]

Hi everyone I'm totally new to this site and tbh I haven't got a clue what I'm doing and if I've posted a thread in the right place!

I started on Exante today. I have a lot of weight to lose and as I'm only 5ft 3 and 242lbs I am really unhappy with the way I look at the moment. I've been overweight for so many years now I can't even remember the last time a was able to walk into a regular clothes shop and have no problem finding an item in my size!

If anyone could take the time to explain the site to me and how it works that would be great as at the moment I'm not able to see or edit any of my own profile information.
I'm using my iPhone so not sure if this has anything to do with it?

It would be great to hear from people doing the Exante Diet and their experiences, accomplishments throughout the whole duration of their weight loss. It would also be great to hear from people just embarking on the Exante diet, I know I could use the moral support.

Hi! I'm hoping to start Exante or Slim and Save soon (they seem very similar). I'm waiting the sample pack from Slim and Save to try before I commit, if I hate everything then I'll have to try something else! Good luck with Exante- how are you finding it? What have you tried, and was it any good?

Hi I started this died on last wednesday at 252lb and like you knew nothing and felt i was plodding in the dark! but a week later i am really pleased with it. I have lost 11.9lb this week and I am on the working solution diet. This is because I have RA and on lots of different drugs for this. so have to have a meal every day so sticking to salad and chicken or salad and fish.
I also could do with the moral support, good luck with yours and keep in touch.

Hi ya thank you for taking the time to reply, well I'm on day 2 now and I have to say its going well. The shakes and soups arn't too bad but they are extremely filling! I love the snack bars! I'll let you know how I get on during the rest of the week as I have a few different flavour soups/ shakes to try x

Oh it's so lovely to know your not alone! Losing weight is blooming hard! Just finished my second day, I feel fine not feeling deprived yet at all, I was quite shocked at just how filling the shakes and soups are! Can't say I'm in love with the cuisine but it's fine it's not unpleasant lol how are you finding it? The only thing I'm really missing at the mo are my diet soda's love a nice cold glass of diet coke but I've read that it can stop you going into ketosis? x

Wow what a phenomenal weight loss!!! You must be over the moon. Sounds like you are doing fantastic! At the mo I'm on the TS diet, I know there are going to be times where I'm going to need a few nudges in the right direction and away from the chocolate cake! Just hearing other peoples successes really spurs you on tho! I'd be over the moon if I get a loss like yours in my first week. The temptation to weigh myself is overwhelming but I've told myself to not even bother with the scales until at least a week! How are you finding the shakes,soups and bars? Do you have a favourite at all? x

Hi all
I am finding the bars the hardest to eat need lots of water or a coffee, they just get stuck to everything! my favourite is the chicken and the veg soup, they have the best taste I think.
Sorry took ages to reply cant seem to access the boards on the iphone so need to get the computer out.! otherwise i am doing ok, although this morning I have mouth ulcers and need to see a dr. even water is hard to swallow
It is really good to hear what others are doing and achieving it keeps me motivated, well done everyone keep up the good work.

Hi Irene sorry for late reply, it's taken me sometime to get used to this app,
I hope you are doing ok, I am struggling with water intake, but otherwise ok.
Loving the soups, shakes are ok, the bar is another story, finding them hard to stomach x
