Hi all I'm starting exante tomorrow and was looking for someone else in the same position? Yes, I know it's a Friday, but I feel it's better to start know rather than never. I have a stone and a half to lose. I'm new to the diet and scared of not eating with my family and how I'm going to cope. There's some real inspirational stories on here though, reading them is getting me into the zone.
Starting tomorrow

Hi,
Good luck today. Not starting today but just wanted to give you some encouragement. You will do great and the stone and a half will be gone in no time at all.
I am quite lucky in that it is just me and my husband and he looks after himself. The good thing about exante is that a lot of the products are more food like than other VLCDs so you don't have to feel separated from your family at meal times.
If you need any support just come on here and ask. Everyone is very lovely.

Hi, welcome. You should lose that amount quickly on this diet - I've been going 4 weeks and have lost about almost a stone and a half in that time, but I probably have a bit more to lose than you Saying that, I haven't stuck religiously to the diet.
Good luck - the first few days are the hardest but this forum is great for keeping you motivated!

Hi thank you all for all your encouraging words. The first day is nearly over. I've cleaned the house top to bottom to try and take my mind off food. I have to admit though that the shakes are nice, to my surprise. I had a strawberry and chocolate one and think I'll try one of the foodie packets tonight.
Womble35 your weight loss is amazing, well done you. If I could lose half that amount in such a small timeframe I'd be a happy chappy.
I bet the weekend will be harder than today, but fingers crossed I stay on track.

Hi I'm feeling ok, what about you? It's been a long day and I'm ready for an early night! I think anything to stop me wanting to eat Have you drank lots of water?
Im so determined to get this weight off, what with Spring coming up and no clothes that fit.
We just need to stay focused and help each other on this journey.

Hi. I was just starting to think, gosh this is hard going!!! I'm starving so can't wait to get out of this hunger stage! Your doing well to be ok on day 5. What day do you think you went into ketosis? I'm finding drinking the water a challenge in its self. I want to stay on plan for the whole 7 days (& longer) to hopefully see the amazing results. I've never done anything like this before and have no idea what to expect. I find it so difficult to even lose a pound on the many other diets I've tried.
Stick with it - it will be worth it. I had a sneak on the scales yesterday and that has motivated me further! I guess I must be in ketosis if I feel ok not sure really. I mean don't get me wrong I've some rumbles in my tummy but feel able to manage it and the headaches have eased! For me it's this or weight loss surgery so I'm determined to give this my best shot.
It's brilliant that your doing so well. A sneak peek at the scales is great to keep the motivation up. I haven't had a headache yet, but I'm freezing and drinking hot water like it's going out of fashion. Let's keep this up and help each other achieve our dreams. I know this sounds silly but I'm doing a mood board, pictures that inspire me, clothes I'd like to be able to wear again, a holiday destination where I can dare to wear a bikini. I hope that when I'm feeling like I've had enough I can look at this to spur me on.
Hi it's going ok thanks. I've stuck to the plan 100%, but yesterday was hard, went to bed at 7.30pm as I just could take anymore. My head was killing me and I was freezing!
I've woken this morning, to more hot water and I feel ok, could I be in this ketosis??? A little bit of me wanted to look at the scales, but just in case I'm not impressed with the results I thought I'd give it a miss.
I'm loving the shakes, especially the vanilla with coffee but not sure on the meals. Oh well I'll see as my taste buds may change!
What about you is all going well?

I know nothing about ketosis but I think feeling cold is a symptom lol
Sounds like your doing great.
I've not been hungry which is great but very light headed/dizzy. Which I'm keeping an eye on. I have always had low blood pressure and a low pulse, even when I became a fat person, so possibly that.
I did a sneaky weigh again this morning. I find when a diet is hard it helps keep me going. I lost 5lb in 2 days, probably all the water.
From what I hear the meals are hit and miss. I think it will take time to learn how to make them too. I found the carbonara very soupy. Which made it last longer so I didn't mind
