Exante - Here I come AGAIN!

146 replies

NoCanoe · 03/03/2019 15:54

I got Exante last year and I've still got the bulk of the damn stuff!
I imagine the sachets and bars in their boxes, just fuming with rage, resentment and regret. Blush

I look back over last year and see just easy I was knocked off course.
Fair enough, it was a bad year and I perhaps didn't really appreciate how badly I was handling certain personal issues. But i do need to stop making excuses. Sad
And I intend to. I can't change past events, and I may be struggling a tad, but taking control can only help, I'm sure.

I'm starting for definite on Wednesday 6th March. It's a habit from childhood that I follow Lent, so it seems a good day to recommence.

I'm planning 5 days completely 'on' , then 2 days off but calorie counted. But - as per my usual Lent habit - no proper chocolate, sweets, biscuits.

Anyone want to help with advice/support?

Or, join in? Wink

I’ve tried the orange orange one and cranberry one and thought they were both nice.

And you’ve reminded me that I forgot to add them to my most recent order. Dagnamit!

I started this last week am on day 7 now. Didn't weigh myself at the start but did yesterday and I'm shocked at my weight! 4 stones I need you lose!
I'm completely motivated and going to do this.

Morning bitches!

I forgot to weigh myself this morning, but as I've not been very good so far, I expect I'm the same. Which is better than being heavier, which is the only positive I can take from this week.

Warned DH I'm not joining in on evening meals till weekend. He just rolled his eyes. I clearly have no credibility at all! Blush

@Chh03 I had something similar, my tongue felt incredibly dry and pretty horrible for almost a week despite drinking gallons! It did pass thank goodness!

I’m in! Tried other things but I know this works! 4 stones to lose

ReggieWoo · 13/03/2019 18:40

After a few blips I'm back on day 1 today.

I've had a shake, exante pizza and I've got either a caramel crunch or a white chocolate orange bar for later.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Chh03 · 13/03/2019 18:59

Leeloo79 ... thanks glad not just me !!

Got given cake today at work... didn't eat it.. that must mean I've burnt more calories ? Smile

We can all do this, got on the scales this morning, 4 days in and good news

SquigglySquaw · 14/03/2019 20:22

I'm going to start this at the end of the month when I get paid. I've tried SW, WW, tracking calories and nothing works. So I really hope this does! Once you've reached your target weight, do you then just eat normally, you don't have to keep going with the shakes etc?

Fortyfatandfedup · 14/03/2019 20:27

I am keen to try Exante, as got on well with CWP but didn't really like seeing the consultants.

Does anyone know if the taste of Exante products is are similar to CWP?

ReggieWoo · 14/03/2019 21:55

Day 2 done today.

I wanted to order more stock but once again they're really low.

snop · 14/03/2019 22:29

Hi everyone, day 4 for me today, doing well so far. I have 4 stone to lose 😭 finally got on the scales and nearly died. I've never been this big I didn't even weigh this 9 months pregnant . Hopefully this group will keep me on track when I see everyone's losses. Good luck !

cuddlymunchkin · 15/03/2019 09:15

Squigglysqaw if i get to target weight I intend to do the 5:2 to stay there. I have 4 stones to lose though!
Tried the coco puffs today, they're ok but a bit sweet, I don't think I'd buy them again. I'm going to try the eggs and bacon pack for lunch and a bar for the evening as I'm going to see the Motown show and I've no time for a proper meal.
What's everyone's favourite products? So far I've lived the spaghetti bolognaise and the caramel bar the most.

Chh03 · 15/03/2019 23:07

Weight in today after 7 days ... 8lbs down

I'm sure next week will be slower, especially as I have been naughty tonight.

Back on it tomorrow.. going to do another week of 600 cal

Then do 2 packets a day and a proper meal for 4 days and 3 days on 3 packets

Well that's the plan !!

cuddlymunchkin · 16/03/2019 22:20

I've just used the pick100 code to buy a load of meals, porridge and a few bars so I'm now set for at least a month. 10 days in and going strong!

Congratulations to you all!
8lbs in a week is fantastic Chh03 !

I've been fighting a virus, so I'm well off my game plan , but still keeping end game in mind.
Just waiting for the day nurse and night nurse to do their job! Sad

I've just got 84 shakes for £49.99 which I thought was pretty good.

Had the weekend off but back on manplan today. Well done everyone.

hugogino · 19/03/2019 08:48

Good morning everyone!
I started Exante on Sunday, currently 2.5lbs down Smile
What meals would everyone recommend? So far i have tried choco puffs, spaghetti bolognese and red Thai chicken soup and found them all inedible Envy. I really love the bars and shakes though!

troppibambini · 21/03/2019 21:43

Hello I've had a shocking couple of weeks so I'm back on it 100% for the first time today.
I've had
A yogurt jam bar
A chocolate chip cookie
Small steak with salad.

I'm not going to lie I could eat my own sodding armSad
I know it will get easier but I'm grumpy.

troppibambini · 21/03/2019 21:44

Sorry while wallowing in my own pity party I forgot to say hi to the new peopleGrin

troppibambini · 22/03/2019 10:02

Day one of 30 day shred completed I think I may die.

onaroll · 24/03/2019 13:42

Hiya ,
Can I join in please ?
Started Exante on Friday .
Tripped over unopened box for a week then opened it & went for it.
Loads to loose , doing ‘total plan’ for as long as I can manage.
Headache almost gone, weeing like a weeing thing from weeingville but 3lb8oz lighter this morning .

FannyFifer · 24/03/2019 15:15

Just a wee check in to see how everyone is getting on, I'm just finishing week 8, food week tomorrow then back to TS.
No loss at all on the scales last two weeks but my clothes are all hanging off me so not bothered.
Made some great under 200 cal & 10g carb meals this week.
Lo dough pizza has been my fav though.

troppibambini · 25/03/2019 18:41

Hi onaroll Smile
That's such a good feeling fanny I can't wait to feel things getting lose!
@nocanoe hope you're getting on ok?
I've had a good day I've had a yogurt bar and I made a Chinese style chicken and sweet corn soup for dinner.
I'm going to have a chocolate chip cookie with a cup of tea later.
I bought some really nice jeans today and my aim is to be able to do up all the buttons not just the top oneGrin
Coming down with a cold the youngest has kindly passed on to me but I'm feeling positive!
Hope everyone has had a good day so far.

troppibambini · 25/03/2019 19:07

Just a word of caution I've just decided to try a maple and pecan flapjack, big mistake.
It's looked like a congealed cow pat and smelt of beef.
Straight in the bin and I've heated a chocolate salty cookie instead!
