[SalsaBaby]

Hey every1, I'm hoping to start the Exante Diet on 1st November. I did CD in 2009, lost 2st but regained it all & more after giving in to temptation. Iv since had a baby & want to drop a total of 5&1/2st!! I'm worried that I'll fail miserably again after 2-3 wks, but I am very determined!! Can any1 tell me if they're able to exercise regularly on this diet? I'm scared of getting saggy skin!! Oh, & I only have til end March to lose all this weight....5 months....is that realistic? Any advice / tips will b much appreciated. Thx!

If you stick to it you could do 5 1/2 But that would involve sticking to it all over Christmas is that realistic? Exante predicts a stone a month so that would be 5 stone.
Exante say not to start any new attempts exercise in the first few weeks but if you are doing it already you should be ok

Thanks so much DustQueen!! It's worth a shot, & I may just eat meat & veg on Christmas day if I can. I'm not telling any friends about the diet, so got no1 to put doubt in my head. I'll keep u posted!!

Hard work & putting the weight back on again! But, I did it, can't blame any1 else. & only I can make it better again. Maybe I'll start a diary to keep myself focused? Iv got a picture of my former self on my phone as the screen saver....I'm trying everything to help me stay dedicated once I start! Eeekkk!!!

The Countdown Has Begun!!!

Right, Iv clearly been a bit rubbish with this diary but I think I need 2 re-focus again now!! So, I'm back, & gonna make sure I write in this diary regularly to hopefully keep me motivated. So, here it goes.....!!!

Iv taken 2 'breaks' on this Exante diet so far, 10 days over Christmas & a 5-day long wkend this last wk, when I went to see my sister. Other than these 2 blips, Iv been on Exante TS since 1st November '11 & I have to reach my goal by April 12th, which is mine & the OH's 6-yr anniversary. Then, from April, I'm back at work after maternity leave, so I absolutely have to achieve my goal by then!!

I started this diet wanting to lose 5&1/2 stone. Iv lost 2 & 1/2 stone so far, but (shamefully) I think I put on 5-6 lbs over my long wkend, so I'm still aiming to lose another 3 & 1/2 stone which will take me to my final goal weight of 10 & 1/2 stone. That means, Iv got 85 days to lose 49lb....a minimum of 4lb per wk!! I'm scared....I'm so worried that I'll fail (yet again) but I have no choice. I don't want to hate myself anymore or shy away from photos, so I have to do it this time!!

So, I'm on 'Day 3' of my restart today, & I'm feeling good, but waiting for the ketosis-headache to kick in. Iv ordered a new box, just going for shakes only now & I will combine the shakes with the 'Ultra Slim' bars from Tescos, which I enjoy & will hopefully help me stay focused. Iv also bought some Senna tablets 2day 2 help keep me more regular!!

Im weighing myself on the 1st of each month, so no weigh-in for a couple of wks.

Wish me luck!!
