Thanks mini! I just try to take it one day at a time, fingers crossed i can stick to it for the 7 weeks!

Ugh, if your doing exante DO NOT get the turkey dinner

*you're

Fessing up here - I have yet to start!!

Couldnt quite get into right frame of mind and DH was doing the cooking as I was under the weather. So, just very easy to eat what was presented.

I also have all my sachets for exante. I lost 3 stone in 3 months with Cambridge but my consultant was awful so I decided I'd do exante. I've done it now and again in the past but don't commit which is my own fault. Needing to lose the last 3 stone and I'd be an ideal weight and fit into my wedding dress. Anyone know where I can get some motivation? I'm needing to set a start date and commit! I've checked the packaging and exante holds the same vitamins as Cambridge it's just getting past the first 4 days. So pathetic I know!

I’m on day 5, it hasn’t been too hard, I’ve lost 4lb so far but I’m premenstrual now so a bit miserable. I’ve just got the shakes. I don’t like the chocolate ones, the others are ok.

GaryBaldyBiscuit · 19/04/2018 14:27

Hi! Can I join in?
I’m one of those people who lost a lot on exante a few years ago and then put it back on (due to family problems but still ) so I’m very angry at myself for doing it and am determined that I will be a healthier weight by August. I’ve got 4-5 stone to loose I will weigh myself tomorrow and start exante from the morning!

GaryBaldyBiscuit · 19/04/2018 14:28

Just realised my names got biscuit in it, not the best start really

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 19/04/2018 19:17

Can I join?

I’ve done Cambridge in the past and lost 3 st... put it back on and now I need to lose 5 st I’m starting Exante tomorrow

minimalist99 · 19/04/2018 20:55

The more the merrier. The warm weather is making me crave ice lollies and ice cold sugary drinks that wont help me at all with this weight journey

minimalist99 · 19/04/2018 20:56

Gary I have 5 stones to loose too and my birthday is in august so i would love to loose at least 3 stones by then.

Good luck georgie !

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 19/04/2018 20:57

Make your shakes up with ice- they are lovely and refreshing like that.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 19/04/2018 20:58

Thank you- you too!

NoCanoe · 19/04/2018 21:44

Im in from tomorrow!! I cant put it off any longer!!
Im dragging my shakes from the garage and plonking them in plain sight for the morning!

NoCanoe · 19/04/2018 21:55

Good tip about the ice, @Georgie!

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 20/04/2018 07:09

How’s everyone feeling this morning?

I’m hungry already- I usually have breakfast when I get up but going to try and hold out until midday for my first shake. Eek!

Good luck all ☀️

cardoon · 20/04/2018 07:21

Are you doing 16:8 along with exante Georgie?

minimalist99 · 20/04/2018 07:25

I am hungry too but I am trying to stay positive, the more consistent we are the quicker we will all be able to loose weight.

I really don't want to be fat anymore.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 20/04/2018 07:27

I did when I did Cambridge, but it came about as I fell into Ketosis and it worked really well for me so thought I’d try that again. Is that what you’re doing?

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 20/04/2018 07:31

I read a good quote this morning which resonates...

Losing weight is hard.
Being fat is hard.
Choose your hard.

Yay I lasted until midday! Off to have my first shake (again! How many bloody times will I start a diet)

GaryBaldyBiscuit · 20/04/2018 12:28

There quite a few of us with the same weight loss goal, that should be good to keep me motivated hopefully!
Started this morning and feeling ok, weighed myself, I really do have 5 stone to loose so I’m hoping I’ll be able to stick to this for the next 5 months but at least three months. Love that quote Georgie! But resisting the food will be hard esp when I’m watching my two kids eat lollies so think that will be my new mantra!

GaryBaldyBiscuit · 20/04/2018 12:29

and well done lasting until midday, what hours/days are you allowed to eat on the 16:8?
