Started Exante today...any good threads to join?

[LardBean]

That's it really. Today is day 1 and I feel I could do with a bit of moral support from other VLCDieters.
Cooking the DC's food is not fun.

What's Exante, is it like Cambridge? If so, after day 3 you'll feel a lot better and will probably be in ketosis. Then you'll have lots of energy, and not much appetite. Honestly.

Thanks tb yes it is like Cambridge I think.

Someone I know has lost 2 stone on this diet .

Many years ago, I lost 3 stone in 3 months on Cambridge. A buggered thyroid later, I can't even lose a pound. On the bright side have just found out I'm severely lacking in vitamin D, and have been given a supplement, so maybe some weight will come off.

Tb .. My thyroid doesn't work and I struggled to get my baby weight off . I have just got it off doing the dukan. Just thought it may help you

Hi all, it's the second day of my exante diet and I'm really hungry.all I think about food.need support from u all :-)

:-)

Hi everyone, all we need to support each other.we can do this together.if anyone know that r we allowed consuming alcohol in our exante diet.

Hi Wannabefit, I think alcohol is a no no sorry. How are you feeling now? I'm on day 5 today but yesterday was terrible! I was so tired, headache, tearful etc. DH wanted me to quit there and then. Luckily I kept strong and woke up this morning feeing a lot more positive.

Hi lardbean, thanks for ur concern, but I had red wine last night.now I feel really bad about my action.yeah and about headache you can drink black coffee with sweetener and that will help ya.I put little coffee in my vanilla shake and that taste better as well.I feel more strong today.I hope that would help u.please don't give up.

Hi lardbean, R u still on ur diet or not? If u still on diet how r u feeling now? I feel really bad and hungry.

Hi Wannabefit, yes I'm still on the diet and feeling really good. I had an absolute meltdown on day 4/5 but it passed so quickly once I got fully into Ketosis. Sorry I missed your post yesterday.
Doing a bit of research I've found out it is possible to alternate between Total weeks and Working Solution weeks. I was planning on having a small meal in the evenings this week (one of thier Ketosis recipes) but honestly I'm feeling like I don't need to at the moment.
I really hope you made it through the bad patch, it will get better

I lost 5 stone in 5 months on exante after I had DS (went from 14st to 9st - I am 5'8''). Kept it all off no probs.

About to give birth to DC2. Have nowhere near as much to lose this time but already have it all ready to do again :)

Wow that's amazing! Well done. Did you stick to Total teh whole way through?

Depending on which scales I use (bit of a mix up mid week with new scales) I have lost between 10 and 7 pounds so I'm over the moon

Hi, I was really really bad over the weekend.drinking and all that :-( but I m behaving myself in week days it's all going well.I lost 2 ib in four days not bad huh? I m really happy for u lardbean that u r still on ur diet.good luck and keep in touch,and booflebean that's really amazing.good luck everyone.happy dieting ;-)

Hi lardbean, I think it's best not to add meal.try not to.u lost 10ib that's amazing.stick to the same plan.u will be amazed with result afterwards :-)

I stuck to total solution around 80-90% of the time I did it.

Thanks booflebean, I will try to stick on total solution as well.I want to rid off good 6.7 stone.I have started 20Min cycling as well :-)

Hi everyone, I wanna share my good news with u. First measurement was on sat so next should be on sat as well, but I couldn't control myself as I wasn't that great with diet over the weekend so I decide to check today.sat 252 and today 249 Yaaaay.l know it's not much but I m happy atleast I m on right track after years and years.waiting for Sat now.happy dieting :-)

Hi everyone, where r u all? Still on dieting or not?

hi, yes still dieting! It's going well now I'm getting used to it but I am being a bit flexible with the diet so that I don't give up. How are you doing?

Hi lardbean, same here.I love it now little flexible and still losing.only one thing I m struggling with is water intake.if I don't drink much feel horrible and dehydrate.at work We r not allowed to go to toilet after every half an hour.but I m still coping.

OMG expecting guest's today.They gonna stay with us over the weekend.Drinks+takeaways+restaurants!!! Omg omg omg what to do? Hate this :-(
