Hello there,
So I'm new. But already found this forum so helpful to read other peoples stories - so thank you.
I've tried lots of things before to lose weight - daily gym (sometimes twice daily), Xenical, healthier eating.... modest levels of success with all but never enough to make it feel worth it.
I've been self employed the last few years and time is not on my side. A friend mentioned Lighter Life to me and showed me pictures of her Aunty who'd tried it a year apart. She'd like halfed in size... so I thought why not....
After reading lots of things i actually settled on Exante rather than LL...I just liked the idea of not taking in too many artificial ingredients.
Today was my first day.
I'm on the 'total' solution so have had 3 shakes today in lieu of real food. I've also given up soft drinks which were a big factor in my downfall I think. It's been a big test of my stamina to work today and function with zero caffeine, but so far so good.
I do feel tired, but it's been a long day.
I do feel a bit hungry - but it's manageable.
I've ordered some of the Exante bars in case the continual feeling a bit hungry carries on, but hoping it will get easier.
I've been drinking lots of water - around 4 litres today. Is that too much?
I'm not really sure what to set myself as a manageable goal for my first few weeks on the plan?
I'm planning to stick to Total for 3 weeks, then do regular (but low fat) food for week 4. Is this sensible?
Sorry this is all a bit of a ramble, mostly just wanted to say hi.
Be great to hear some of your success stories on Exante?
Steve
