Hello, I've been over on the Exante forum for the last few weeks and have lost just over 18lbs on 32 days of a mix of Exante and S & S.
I was initially doing a challenge to get as much off for my wedding anniversary on 06/05/2012 and then thought I'd go back to my old faithful calorie counting, but I've found S & S so easy in comparison to any of the other VLCD's I've decided to keep going and try and get to a new target weight of 12.4.
My top weight, about 8 years ago was somewhere over 24 1/2 stone, never quite sure exactly how much over as my scales only went up to 23.8!!. I lost over 11st counting calories and maintained my weight for more than 5 years until I moved country to Abu Dhabi and managed to pile on 3 Pizza stones, which is now almost gone.
I've never been 12 stone anything in my adult life, so this is a big challenge for me and hoping to get there for around the end of June.
So far I've had my good days and bad days, mostly I find the biggest challenge is the lack of socialising, but as I keep telling myself, it's not forever, it's just for a wee while.
I've found the support on the forums invaluable so far and it's great to know there is always someone here to talk me down from the roof, when I need it.
