Exante VLCD

Hi

Just wondering if anyone is doing or has done exante and how much they lost in their first week and how much I should expect to lose after that?

I am currently at my highest weight ever of 14st 7 and was shocked when I stepped on the scale yesterday.. I never usually go over 13st 11 even if I am totally eating what I want.

I have done slimming world before and lost a stone but now have put All back on plus more!

I decided to take the plunge and start exante today as I am going away in March and I absolutely cannot go like this.

I bought the 4 week plan and today had cookies and cream shake for Breakfast- I found this awful and too creamy and made me feel sick. Shepherds pie for lunch- better than the shake but not great. Double chocolate bar around 5 pm I really liked this. And a 200 cal meal from the approved list for dinner.

I know it’s day one and probably Expected but I feel very weak, tired and can’t really concentrate on anything I’ve been drinking shit loads of water but my mouth is bloody dry not to mention I have FOUL wind !!.

Slimming world is quite easy for me to follow but it’s a slow loss and I won’t see the results I want before my holiday. I don’t want to lose more than 3 stone as I would like to keep my curves. I would like to lose 2 of these before I go away on 19th March.. is this possible ?

I have a few birthdays coming up a month so I will have a off plan day for that.

Does this get easier ? As I am struggling right now !

I agree. I've been messing about with my weight for so long now and it's just kept creeping up and up. Then there comes that point when you just think "oh bugger.... I'm so fat now I barely bloody recognise myself!" So i feel a bit like I've sprinkled fairy dust on myself, cant quite believe it myself but I'm taking it while I can!

Weighing a day early. But lost another 3 pounds this week. So that's i've got to be happy with that! Hows everyone else doing? Xx

So I've lost a stone as of today which I'm really chuffed about, particularly as I had a week off the diet when on holiday. How are you getting on?

Hey moomin that's a fab result especially with a weeks holiday!!!! Amazing! I've just weighed this morning, in 5 weeks tomorrow and have lost 15 pounds so far. I'm really pleased!

I have just started this week hoping for some good results. Day 3 done.
