Hello everyone, I'm angie and I lost 4 stone 2 years ago on cd. I kept most of it off until last trimester of pregnancy, then ballooned. Weight also went up due to sitting on bum breastfeeding newborn. Baby is now a year old. Tried exante in august for 5 weeks and lost nearly 2 stone, til a friend literally bought a bun and stuck it under my nose. Don't know why I ate it but it completely undid me & have struggled to get back on it as my birthday came and went and Christmas loomed. I kept most of the 2 stone off until Xmas, but have put on 10lb on top of the rest. So! Am back again. Quite relieved to have my choices about what to eat and drink limited, need to cleanse my tast buds of all the Xmas excess
 
I love this thread, it's great to hear who everyone is and why we're here :)
I'm Rachel, 35 from Southampton. I've been doing Exante for nearly 3 months now. Previously I did LighterLife a couple of years ago and lost 5 stone, which I was really pleased with. I've since had a baby, she's now 1 and I stopped breastfeeding just before starting this. I put on quite a lot of that 5 stone whilst pregnant and since, and so decided to start Exante as a cheaper VLCD to help me lose the weight I'd gained, and hopefully lose more.

The goal I've set is to get to 'Overweight', as I don't think my BMI has ever been in the overweight category probably since I was in my early teens. I first put on lots of weight when I was about 12 and in and out of hospital with asthma / on lots of steroids. I really want to get, firstly to overweight, and I'm starting to look at setting a goal to reach 'normal BMI'.

I'm really curious what I will look like, as I've not been at a normal weight since before I was a teenager, so haven't got a clue what shape I'll be or what it will feel like.

I'm really glad that I'm now nearly back to where I was when I lost weight the first time, and just a few more stone to go to get to overweight.

Looking forward to the support we can all give each other in the coming weeks as we all try and shift this weight!
 
I restarted on 1/1/11 :D
Although I say restarted, I never got properly started in the 1st place!

Anyway I'm Claire, 27 from Cambridgeshire (Jeez I feel like I'm on blind date!!)
I am currently off work as I am signed off by my doctor and mental health nurse, I foster animals though and have some pets too.
I have alot of weight to lose and I'm hoping 2011 will be my year.

We can do this everyone x
 
I'm Bev and I restarted yesterday, having lost 47½lbs from September to November. Had too many distractions (excuses?!) from the end of November till now and put on 7lbs, but am really glad to be back.

I have a lovely slim husband and two amazing boys of 12 and 10. I was always fat as a child, but had a very temporary slim phase during my late teens to mid twenties when I met my husband. Bless him, he's stuck around for more than 25 years as my weight has gone up and up and up (with occasional small downs thanks to WW, SW, LL and the rest!).

My motivations are that I worry about my long-term health, and I also loathe my boss with a passion and so intend to lose enough weight to change jobs when my youngest goes to senior school in September!

Good luck to everyone. It can be done! :)
 
Hi I'm Gillian, I'm 40 and from Scotland! Not sure how much I want to lose but I want to fit into a comfortable size 12 (I'm size 16) I have done a VLCD before and maintained for 2 years but I have lost the plot since turning 40 back in march and want to get back on track, looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi everyone, I'm starting exante today!! I've prev lost weight with cd but it's crept back on again :-(

I'm 5.2 and this morning I weighed 12.2 so looking forward to being back to 9.11 as that puts me back with a bmi of 25. The main thing is I'd like to learn how to keep it off after losing it!!

Loving this board, very busy and supportive xxx
