Total Solution The year my life WILL change.

[Sparkeigh]

Hey there, I'm starting my Exante diet on the 3rd of january when my dad goes back overseas for work (since he keeps buying a load of junk food! ahh!)

So i thought i would start my diary now so i can get the hang of it...any pointers would be much appreciated!

Well i suppose i'll give my story...

I'm Known as Aden (Ade) I'm 19 and i finally went to the doctors to find out why i was overweight when i was about 11 and i got diagnosed with PCOS by the time i was 15, i was never really a huge girl just chubby we all thought it was 'baby fat' but as i got older i started to pile it on like there was no tomorrow and i tried everything to shift the weight but just kept loosing the will power, but being kid i didnt really understand.

But anyway now that i've got myself out of a really **** (pardon my french) relationship and moved out of england and back to my home town i think i'm ready to change my life. My mum was looking at the lighterlife diet but after a bit of research we decided it wasnt for me, and we found exante and seen some of the stories and pictures of peoples weight loss in so little time we were amazed...

My goal is to lose 10 stone by the end of June / start of July in 2012 so i can go on holiday for my 20th birthday and actually get a social life, because for the time being i haven't got one I'm in a town where the only people i know is my family... something has got to change!!!


Sooo I guess I'll leave it at that because i think i'm just waffling on just now...so sorry if its kinda all over the place

Hello Ade, welcome to minimins. I started exante a week ago and have lost 11lbs so far (after an initial 18lbs loss at sw) - Exante is by far the best weightloss solution I have come across and I am so pleased with the fast results.

Have you ordered your first bumper pack? I haven't used any of the bars but the soups are really nice and the shakes are okay - I really like the vanilla one best. They're adding a new bumper pack in the new year that will include porridge as well, which I hope to order if they have it by the time I start week three.

Good luck with your weightloss goals x

Hi Ade and welcome along. Exante is by far the best VLCD I have done and the losses are fab if you stick at it!
The first 3-4 days are the worst so if you can get yourself past these it should be plain sailing.
Drink at least 2-4L of water a day, the more you drink the more you shrink. Be careful not to go overboard with the water tho as this would have a bad effect on your health.
There are lots of threads on this site with regards to what you can drink and what you can eat on WS or AAM etc.

Good luck xx

Wow 11 lbs in one week? bloody hell thats good, how much exercise did you do? (if you dont mind me asking)

Tbh I haven't actually done any exercise at all yet, although I did just spend half an hour setting up the xbox kinect so I'll soon get some I'm sure lol and I do have a gym membership so that I can go multigym, aerobics, swimming etc. I wanted to let my body get used to the lower number of calories first though. I'm going to start off slow with the exercise and step it up slightly each time the losses slow down to boost them back up at each level along the way.

Aye I'm planning on doing the same the dance central or just dance games for the kinect are really good they get you burning really fast and are good fun, get to have a wee giggle at yourself after with the videos haha

Once I've lost some of the weight I'm going to start going swimming with my mums pal since she does it 5 times a week and I use to love swimming use to have all my wee award badges on my cozy haha so that'll be good

Hello and welcome Ade

This works, it really does!

The first few days are quite hard, then it just becomes a routine.

Very satisfying to see the drop on the scales each week

All the best for 2012 - make this year the time for change!!

 

[Blue Butterfly]

Happy new year Ade, I hope your exante journey is a smooth one

You mentioned that you weren't keen on having to 'eat' in the morning, well you dont have to. The 3 packs dont have to be breakfast, lunch and dinner. As long as you have all 3 in one day you can have them at any time you like.
Last time I did exante I would have mine at 2pm, 6pm and 10pm as I was always hungrier later in the day and was never hungry in the morning.

 

[shrinkingannie]

Best of luck, Im starting tomorrow so ill see you here

 

[wannabeme]

Good luck hon! xx
