I have made the momentous decision today with my husbands support to start Exante. I have previously lost 5 stone doing a combination of LL and CD so definately not a stranger to VLCD. Unfortunately in the last 5 years I have regained it all. I moved to France about 16 months ago and thought that I would be destined to be fat for the rest of my life. The Dukan diet is very popular over here and I have recently managed to lose 7kgs doing that, but after a few weeks I lose the momentum and will power when the weight loss slows and slide back to the old me and eat, eat & eat some more.
Some family members recently lost weight on CD and reminded me how quick and amazing the results were, so I decided to research and see if there was one that I could purchase abroad. Then I found Exante; initially I was worried about speaking to my husband about it as we have been here before, lost the weight, regained it scenario. Anyway I took the bull by the horns and explained how important it is for me and my sanity to lose weight. He was fabulous and said he would support me if thats what I really wanted to do. He has been brilliant recently and moves my ass into gear every morning to walk the dog with me around our local lake. We discussed it further and as we have family coming to us for a holiday from monday for 2 weeks we decided I would start it after they go home. So I have ordered 2 months supply, plus water flavourings ready to start as soon as they have gone. As I have been doing the Dukan diet I have been having very few carbs so plan to continue with low carbs whilst they are here.
I feel really quite excited about being liberated again and this time I am going to keep the weight off....I have learned my lesson and suffered the consequences of returning to my old eating habits.
I am now counting down and have 16 days to go and whilst I am not actually doing the diet yet I am going to keep this diary thread active as it is my preparation physically and mentally.
