Hi! I’m seven weeks in and started at about a stone more than you. The first few days were a struggle for me, I was so hungry and had headaches. But after I think day four that all went away and I’ve been fine since
Hi there how are you getting on I am just onto my third week and starting to get to grips with it!
Hi @Bertie81 well done on your loss! Glad you’re getting to grips with it, are you finding it easy now?
That’s a fantastic loss well done!! It’s so lovely to see someone further on and how well they have doneHi @Bertie81 well done on your loss! Glad you’re getting to grips with it, are you finding it easy now?
I’m on my 17th week, which I almost can’t believe! I’m just doing a couple more and then I’m upping my calories so I can start eating out etc again. I’ll still stick to a calorie deficit but not as low as 800.
I still have a way to go but I’ve lost just over 3 stone these 17 weeks which I am over the moon with. I’ll still use some exante products when I’m eating more, I’m sure. Especially as I have about 80 shakes to get through
. I am sure you will do great when the calories go up and well.Well done that’s brilliant!
Hi I am still very much at the beginning but know there are some really experienced VLCD people on here who have had a amazing results!
but I am taking it seriously so internally I can’t laugh it off or write it off!Hi there I am at the moment doing 2 shakes and a bar and the 200kcal meal so the 800 plan! How about you?
I lost 3 stone 3lbs in the 18 weeks (I started at 17 9). I’ll weight in later in the week and see how it’s gone but I had a sneaky peek already and know 1lb has gone so it is working. Hi @Zeus☺️ it really is inspirational when I see people who have done so well and you have done great. Definitely going to use those tips about the jelly and cake mugs! The breakfast at a weekend sounds great and definitely helps in making it feel less like a diet (even though it really is haha!) so might take a lead out of your book this weekend! Well done you have done amazing!!Hi! I did 18 weeks of Exante 800 and am going back to calorie counting now as I think that’s long enough for me
What kept me motivated was how quickly the weight went. I had a lot to lose and if it was just a lb or so every week I’d have given up, I know I would have. I did have weeks when I’d lose nothing but it would make up for it a week or so later when 4lbs would go
@Bertie81 your loss is great! You’re doing the same as I did with your shakes, bars and meal. I learnt how to make a 200 calorie meal go a long way! I had heck chicken sausages, or king prawns with stir fried veg a lot, and a fried egg on top if I had enough calories. Added ginger and garlic to make it tastier.
id also add coffee and lots of ice to my shakes sometimes, with some skinny food company sauce to make iced coffees. And Hartleys 10 calorie jellies with a squirt of low calorie squirt cream were a nice treat if you have calories left over.
I bought some mug cake mixes from ‘my muscle mugs’ which are all about 200 calories each and feel like a real treat. And I’d always have the exante pancakes with two bacon medallions and some skinny syrup maple syrup for weekend breakfast treats!
I did my steps and did gym classes too so I could have extra calories sometimes. Amazing how many calories an hours walk burns!
Oh and drink lots of water!
I’ve upped my calories now, according to a calorie calculator and with my height, weight, age, level of exercise etc im now allowed to eat… 1900 a day! I’ve not managed to eat that much yet
@gemz873 how long have you been doing the shake diet for? Exante was definitely really hard for me for the first 4 days. Then it got much easier!
never thought it would ever happen! She’s now 2 and has me run ragged! 
especially as an older mama! Anyways, i lost around 4.5st- wasn’t just with exante- I started training a lot etc. but now, I’m back up to 13.2 ( my lowest weight was 11st7 and my highest ever was 15st 13lb. Currently on day 3 and it hasn’t been too bad . My goal for the weight loss is I’m getting married in November and for once, in my entire life, want to feel confident in my own body - I can’t remember ever feeling this way! I’m hoping to make some buddies along the way to help each other - always easier when you’re not alone! Thanks for reading, Kath xxHi Cath well done on the weight loss I also have a 2 year old and I am just getting round to getting the weigh off now so you are doing great!Hi everyone, can I join in?! So, I did exante a few years ago, to help with my fertility issues( I have polycystic ovaries) I already had a 20 year old daughter but for the life of me, couldn’t conceive! Anyway, aged 39, I had my beautiful daughter!
