I'm just going to dive right in here without really reading what I am supposed to do.
I have started the Exante total solution. I had started it and stopped a couple of times after 2 or 3 days for various reasons, like invited out, or big party due etc.
Events/party’s etc are always going to be around whether it be in week 1, 2, 3, 4 etc I've learned now to say so what, I don’t need to eat or drink at it.
My starting stats are
Male
height 5Ft 11 inches
weight 18 Stone 10 lbs (262lbs)
> Waist 43
> Belly 47
> Chest 46
> Thigh 28 half
> Neck 17 half
I started 1 week ago 10th April
So my first week weigh in is now 17 Stone 9 lbs
The 1st few days I found very difficult but I just reassessed my motivation and why I was doing it and I was fine.
Holidays in 11 weeks from now and my goal for that day is 14 stone 10lbs
After 3 days I started getting the taste in the mouth that I have been reading about related to ketosis.
after 4 days I got flushed in the face that lasted a couple of days
On day 6, yesterday I felt I got my energy back.
I am starting to swim and intend at least 4 times per week.
I am basing my goal on my current BMR which is around 2300 so additional exercises would go on top of this.
Swimming 4 times per week @800 cals for my weight
The general consensus that 3500 cals burn 1lb of fat
The 600 cals daily intake from the exante shakes.
I know its not going to be easy but I have the right motivators
On week 1 3 days in all work colleagues decide to bring in a McDonalds, on day 4 visiting my sisters they are all sitting with Chinese food, on day 5 my wife is baking in the house, on day 5 also a big family party with all my favourite party food, every saying take a drink take a drink but managed to resist.
And daily feeding my 15 month old son dinner, things like cottage pie, fish pie, past etc and i have to put the food to my lips to check the temperature...........PURE TORTURE.........
But this process is only going to be a relatively small percentage of time in relation to how long I have been over weight.
I was Mr Sports when I was in my teens, playing football, rugby and volleyball at decent levels. I hit 18, got a part time job while at uni, got a car and lost the time to do all the sports......but I didn’t lose the time to eat the same amount, I was driving instead of walking even short distances
