Total Solution NEWBIE AND RARING TO GO!

[Zuzyz]

Hi, I'm new to this site and discovered you while googling everything about exante and vlcd's. The support on here is really inspiring..:jelous:

I started exante on 5th January 2012 and so far I have lost 13lbs! I am on a high at the moment - probably a mixture of ketosis and the way my clothes suddenly have more room...already! I can't believe how relatively easy it has been so far and apart from the time I took the biscuit lid off so I could 'sniff' the chocolate biscuits - I have found that just looking forward to my next shake is all I need to get me through the day.

I've found what works best for me is having a shake at 7am before work, then I work all day topping up with peppermint teas and water, shake at 5pm and last one at 9pm. I really look forward to my late one. I've also discovered I like the vanilla shakes heated up. I shake it with a little cold water, add hot from the kettle, pour in a cup and micro for about 40 seconds. It makes a lovely creamy thick topping to sip through ....yummy!

I know it's early days and I know that there's a long way to go but I honestly think I'm going to do it this time!

Good for you!! Its a brill diet, no thinking involved, just make the shakes and done!!
I dont think its that easy to be honest, I still struggle with the weekends and missing going out etc, but I really do belive this is the time I am actually gonna do it!!

I haven't got to the part where I'm socialising yet...I know that will be hard! I have cleared my diary for January so that I can get adjusted to this. Birthday night out next month though and I just can't imagine going out with my friends and watching them celebrate my birthday without me!!! Might have a couple of wee drinks but we'll see. :drool:

One thing I have noticed though...I am so cold all the time!

Hi and welcome to Minimins...

Love to hear you sounding so motivated and excited - you remind me of me a few years back when I did LL and lost my first 5 stone It's SUCH a cool time! Embrace it!

Yes, you will hit tough times, but stick with it and they will pass... week 7 was always a killer with my LL friends, no clue why! They sneak up on us... but head down, water in and the weight will be gone before you know it

Spotty xx

Welcome
13lbs off is great, isn't it ?
I am sure if you plan it well, you will be able to work in a day off on your birthday
