I'm am a complete novice when it comes to dieting. I made a start with Exante last week and fell completely of the wagon by day 5 so hoping that keeping a diary and reading some if the great success stories on here will help.
Start weight of 16st 10lbs and a BMI of over 30 means I an the heaviest I have ever been and have some work to do but seeing the stories and results on here has inspired me to succeed.
I have set myself a couple of targets apart from being fitter and havibg more energy. I want to be 2 stone down within the next 9 weeks in time to enjoy a weekend away at V Festival, following that I want to be at my target weight of 11st 7lbs by January 2014 ready for my annual Snowboard Trip.
I work 12 hour shifts days and nights in a Police Control room and have seen the lbs pile on in the last 7 years of working there, the job whilst mentally stimulating does involve a lot of sitting behind a desk. I snowboard once a year and have decided to make it a regular activity at a local indoor slope to boast the fat burning so signed up for a membership today.
I have the remainder of my Exante packs from last weeks failed attempt, the products are not as bad as I was thinking they would be. The shakes are all fine (I add extra water as found them a little thick), I am happy with the veg and Thai chicken soups and stomach the mushroom and tomato ones. The bars grow on you and are certainly more discreet at work.
So starting today I will be 100% Total Solution for the next 4 weeks, I plan to WI on Monday Mornings as this seems for some reason psychologically easier for me.
Thanks
Pete
