10 week vlcd

[minimalist99]

Hello,
I was wondering how much weight u fellow vlcd people have lost in the space of 10 weeks. I am planning to attend a friends wedding in 10 weeks and am attempting to loose weight. I am abit 5 stone overweight so i am desperate to loose some weight using exante till the wedding.
Looking forward to hearing your success stories.

Yes 2! I have found that too. I am a criminal for that!!

Canoe don’t worry it only sounded like a very graceful tumble from where I am

Ha!! You are are too kind @Shania!

for the leg up.. many thanks. Hope i didnt do your back in!

Don’t worry I’ve been napping away my hunger pangs today so I had a bit of an energy boost left over for you!

Tomorrow is another day Canoe, you can DO this!

Horrible day at work, really want to pig out this evening but a shake had to do, I’m off to bed to mope. Canoe that really made me laugh, better day for you tomorrow I hope but keep your ears peeled for a thud from my direction if work is crap again 😁

And well done for the losses Shania, 2and Buxton!
I’ve lost track who’s due to weigh on Friday like me? I’m hoping for 4lbs off at least, fingers crossed!

How did you get on last night Gary? Hope your day today is better for you praying for your 4lb loss!!

I’ve got a terrible headache and lightheaded feeling today, not impressed

NoCanoe that make me chuckle. Hope you are able to get back on board today.

Gary hope you have a better day today, well done for resisting pigging out.

Shania oh no - maybe a stock cube would help? (the weird and wonderful sentences this diet is making me come out with... )

Somewhat inevitably, I have caught the cold that my kids have. What I would give to spend an hour in a hot bath. Looking on the positive side, I tend to find that I lose my appetite a bit when I'm not well.

I am sipping a mint choc shake and it's almost exactly like melted mint choc chip ice cream. Yum. I had the fajitas for dinner last night... what struck me was how absolutely tiny a 200 calorie portion of real food is. I could easily nibble on twice that amount whilst cooking dinner, THEN go on and have a hefty portion for my actual meal

It’s passing thankfully, but I still have a bit of a thick head (which is annoying when I haven’t even been drinking )

Oooo nice, I love mint choc chip ANYTHING

Agreed, it’s quite scary what 200 calories actually looks like. The retraining of my relationship with food continues!

I weigh on Mondays. Officially :-) i do weigh every morning, and night. I generally lose about 4lbs overnight. Maybe the answer is to sleep for a month ???

Buxton I wish I could do that, my whole body is tired 😩

Hi everyone! Day 3 here. Just wondering, (TMI) but has anyone else had really bad diarrhea the first few days of this diet? If so, when did it pass? The weight is falling off so far and I'm drinking plenty- I assume it's just my body adjusting?

adia I'm on day 3 too- not had the runs- but have got bunged up before on lipotrim!! I assume that is what happens re toxins- and prob lot more water- I think after day 3 ketosis really kicks in- I'm looking forward to the hunger passing!!!

Yes adia it certainly... changes texture

Thanks ohso I'm also looking forward to ketosis as I'm struggling today! We'll get there though

Shania I was up most of last night with it but I'll keep pushing on! I'm hoping it's just getting used to it, because I tend to be intolerant to a lot of these things. Fingers crossed!

My sneaky weigh in this morning 19:1.2 Soooo close to breaking through to the 18's! have a good day everybody and remember to drink loads of water!

Yes stick with it if you can adia, I think it’s a bit of a shock to the system but you soon get used to it

Well done buxton!

My cat gave birth to 6 kittens in the early hours this morning so I’m really ready for my bed already

Hi everyone,

Been a bit quiet here for a couple of days, been feeling horrendous (nothing to do with Exante, everything to do with my snotty children who can't share anything... unless it's an illness). Have actually had to force myself to eat... who am I?!

Went a bit off plan and had an actual meal last light (but had only had one bar all day up to that point)... a small salmon fillet marinated in lime juice and chilli flakes served with roasted broccoli (sprayed with fry-light and sprinkled with salt and garlic powder). Delicious and a fraction of the portion I would have had before. Can't believe the wonderful things Exante has done for my appetite.

Well done everybody, you are doing so well. shania kittens, how lovely!

Hi 2! Well done on the healthy meal, I bet you feel really good after that.

Kittens are keeping me busy so I’m not too fussed about eating, I weighed myself today and I haven’t changed so I’m definitely in the 3 week slump. Need to power through!

Can I join in, the other vlcd thread seems to be in hibernation atm!
I started Exante last week and had my first weigh in yesterday, 4kg down, which I am happy with. I really want to lose another 10kg and so far it's going ok. I am actually more hungry this week than last week but I think that's because I had a rotten dose on me and I just wasn't hungry at all. Now I'm feeling better and my appetite is back a little! I also have to remember to drink more, I find that bit hard.

Hi Tyrion!

That’s like 9lb in old money, what a great loss! Sounds like you have a similar amount to me that you want to lose. The first week is such a great motivator isn’t it?! Re the drinking thing, I treated myself to a fancy bottle to drink out of to remind me to drink and I carry it everywhere with me, it seems to be working so far as I piss like a race horse these days

Hi all- really struggling today - not yet sure why- now crazy about fizzy water- as it's a bit leas boring than plain stuff
Had mint choc Shake this morning - not great bit powdery- but had the cheese and bacon eggs last night- yum yum-
Savoury pancakes- I don't actually mind that processed cheese/ bacon taste- reminded me of a jambon!

Hi tyrion well done on your loss so far, that's amazing!

ohsoslim that's a shame your shake was powdery, what do you use to make your shakes? Is it just the shaker thing? If so, if you are planning on doing this for a while, might be worth investing in a blender (I use the Breville Blend Active). The cheese and bacon eggs sound lovely, will get them in my next order (but I have a ridiculously large Exante stash so no more ordering until I'm actually running low)

Just had lemon pancakes made in the waffle maker (that I had to dust off... I am a bit of a kitchen gadget hoarder...) with a drizzle of the Exante raspberry syrup - amazing! Made two huge fluffy waffles which looked much more appealing than a few misshapen pancakes.

Hey everyone!

How lovely to hear we have our own very own new kittens to enjoy!!

I went to weigh this morning and the batteries had fully given up. Could I find the new ones I'd bought in readiness? Could I hell.

Did find my own cat peeing in a basket of freshly washed clothes though. That was an unwelcome addition to my morning. He obviously did or didnt like the smell of Lenor......

Ive had one foot on the wagon and holding onto handrail but the other foot stubbornly trailing on the ground and the other hand determmindly gripping a glass of - ahem- something not allowed, so I suspect not a great week for me.

Ya makes your choices and you deal with the consequences, is what Im reminding myself. Getting my fat ass firmly planted on that wagon this weekend.

Well done everyone, I’m feeling a bit more positive today so I’m going to send some of that energy to you all, share the love and all that.

Argh No that is shit about the scales! Although possibly a blessing in disguise, I wish that would happen to me so I would stop weighing every day

Great meal ideas 2, I expect it helps motivation changing it up a bit

This morning - 19:0.8 What is .8 of a pound? Tee he he! 9 ounces?
Went and got a load more exante this morning. they have an offer at the moment, where you can buy 42 products for £35. I used it to buy loads of Dahl pots and Beef and black bean pots. They are normally £2.50 so with the offer it worked out at 83p each.I have got into the habit of having one for my evening meal. I just have a couple of bars during the day. Hoping to do well tomorrow, as we have so much stuff to do in the garden, so I won't be tempted to nibble indoors. Hope everyone is having a good day!
