New to Exante, Starting today 08/10/2012 would love some buddies for support

[Razzie D]

Hi there,

I am starting my weight loss journey with exante, over the years me weight has crept up and ive always been unhappy. I have a 9year old and a 4 year old and really want to become more active for them and myself. My current weight is 17st 4lbs and im 5ft 4lb and my ideal weight is 12st.

Would love to speak to people who are going through the same journey as me, so far today i have had a strawberry shake, which was'nt to bad, i just need to have it with cold water next time.


Can you have sugar free mints?

Hello

today is my first day on the exante diet and I have just signed up to this site. I will have a look round site to update profile with weight ect.. But ideally hoping to lose approximately 3 stone in 3 months with this diet... Is this a realistic goal? I'm currently 14st 12lbs.

today I had a choc shake then a bar and a soup for my tea. I must say I was pleasantly surprised...all quite tasty!

Would love to stay n touch throughout dieting so I can give/take as much encouragement as possible

[DivaDavis]

Keep on going - one day at a time.

good luck everyone

 

[suzie1011]

good luck everyone! I'm new here, just started on this diet today - I would love to buddy up and help keep people focused and on track! i know i would appreciate the support too

 

[suzie1011]

any other tips you have to help keep hunger at bay during the day (afternoon and evenings are the worst for me)

 

[DivaDavis]

Drink drink drink! Also some people split their packs-shakes/bars and spread them over the day-might help you?
Also when ketosis hits you'll not feel so hungry.

 

[suzie1011]

Thanks Diva, its been an eye opener today - more water tomorrow for sure, i feel very tired tonight, and I'm hoping my energy doesn't dip too low for tomorrow

 

[Razzie D]

How is everyone getting on? Im so tempted to jump on the scales but really want to wait until wednesday

Hi Razzie x I'm on day 3 and surprisingly I feel ok! Mind you I have just had my vanilla shake made with Coffee it was lovely!!! I can handle it I think when I can have the shakes like that .... plus I feel a bit better now I know I can have coke zero, or Dr Pepper zero too,

I don't feel quite so bad about the days ahead, but I do fear the boredom ..... I'm not good with boredom

I can totally agree with you @suzie1011, i had the exact same thing this morning, the coffee really does give the vanilla a kick. I stocked up on coke zero and Dr pepper Zero so im trying to keep my liquid varied. Im nervous about the days ahead but everytime i feel abit tempted im going to come on to here and look at the success stories and visulise myself smaller and happier

 

[suzie1011]

yes Razzie, thats exactly how I feel!! We have to recognise our weak times, and stay with the people who are going to give it us straight! at the end of the day, cheating is only cheating ourselves, and defeating the whole point! I need to stay on track, I'm going to stick a fat and a thin picture on my mirror, and on the cupboard and fridge door!!

 

[Razzie D]

Thats a great way to keep on track, gonna fish out some skinny pics and keep my biggest pic side by side. To be honest im glad its the weekend, where i am in the safe surroundings of my home. Im really dreading work on monday as thats when i feel most tempted lately, so by the time the weekend comes i welcome the break.

 

[suzie1011]

ahh I'm the other way round! work keeps my mind off things as I'm too busy to worry about anything else! its when I'm home and kicking about here, I get bored quickly,
