Any doing Exante?

[imnotprincessbubblegum]

Hi.

Just wondering if anyone is doing Exante (or anything similar) currently. I have a few VLCD sachets in my kitchen cupboard and have ordered some bars. I’ll be starting Monday. Anyone else?

My starting weight is 18stone so I have to lose literally half my weight .

If you look on eBay some people are selling say ten bars. Guess they buy them in bulk and get offers then sell smaller amounts. I'll see what they are like - the reviews on the website are a bit mixed!

Oh are they? I haven't looked, I just saw the bars and thought they sounded nice. I want to try the carrot cake and banana bread ones too.

Maybe I can put in a small order ...

I found Rocky Road slim fast bars at B&M, and they are so nice!

I’ve maintained this week.🤨 tbf I am due on so hopefully it will all come off this week. Hard not to feel deflated though !

At least its not a gain 👏

I weighed in after my holiday… obviously I didn’t do exante on holiday! But I did walk and do lots of exercise. And ate fairly sensibly. Gained 2lbs, but worth it. Back on it as of yesterday! I did Clubbercise in the heat yesterday so that will have burned some fat I hope!

Do not go for the banana bread vegan shake, it is truly awful, really weird aftertaste.

The other vegan shakes seem OK though. Haven't tried the bars yet.

I have lost another 3lb. That makes it 13lb in three weeks. I wish I had made it a stone but hopefully next week I will.

I really like the banana bread bars, they are delicious and some of the vegan shakes are nice too. I do like the lemon bars, caramel crunch one and I like the cookies.

What plans is everyone doing? I'm doing two shakes a day and one evening meal and was progressing nicely but I went for dinner last night and have jumped up again

I am having 2 shakes and a bar a day. I eat fruit or salad if I get hungry on the evening and I'm drinking lots of water. I do have a treat on a Saturday evening so I just have two shakes on the day.

I've got no bloody idea what I'm doing. I'm all over the place 😫

I get the results of my blood test today to see how my b12 is doing after all the injections and whether 1 tablet scan is enough, and will have that again in a month, and she'll do the cholesterol again then, so I really don't know what to do.

I haven't really lost anything since I've added in stuff that helps. I'm thinking to finish what's in my fridge and then start 3 products again.

I was doing salad, small snack, soup, for a bit as that seemed to work better for my blood sugars but then I upped the olive oil on the salad, added in mackerel sometimes instead of tuna, added in nuts which lead on to greek yoghurt and a bit of fruit. I'm hungry now whereas I wasnt before. The strict calorie counting has gone out the window. Yesterday I had sandwich thin toasties 🙈 today my Dr's is near a supermarket with an amazing cake counter. The temptation is real.

Scan? Should be 'a day'.

It sounds tricky 3Britnee maybe could ask the GPs for advice at next appt? Mind you they sometimes don't seem to know much about diet.

I have just ordered some Omega 3 capsules with vitamin D in.

I weighed in today and am finally 2 stone lighter. 2/3 of the way there, but I can't say I look any different.

I bet you do really maybe it is different when you see yourself every day.

Does anyone know if Exante always have a £20 off £60 offer on? As it seems to have been changed to a different code this month but still on there?

I started Slim and Save Simplicity Plan on Tuesday, so day 5!
Could please join in?
Plan to read this whole thread over the next two days.
I need to lose 6 stone, hopefully by Easter next year.
Is this doable???
I'm only weighing in once a week on Tuesday mornings, so no idea if anything is happening yet

6 stone in 10 or so months should be do-able

@WhoWants2Know thanks!
I know it will slow down for the last stone or so, so giving my self a little extra time to account for that!

@WhoWants2Know well done on being 2/3rds the way there on your weight loss journey. You are over half way there and must be noticing clothes fitting better.

I've been quiet because I've started my IVF round now and can't do Exante while on it. I will keep an eye on this thread but for me I expect to put on almost all the weight I've just lost by the end of this ivf cycle 😢. The hormones change your sense of smell and taste, and I've already been eating significantly more without the packs. Also my massive chocolate cravings have returned after being under control for about 8-10 weeks 😭. I am trying to limit the damage by choosing lots of low carb options but have put on 2 lbs so far, my body fat however has stayed constant at 38.2% and BMI is 26.2 (I started somewhere around 43% body fat and bmi of 28.5). So I think there is also lots of hormonal bloating.

🤞 for you helene. Lets hope you do get fat again 🤰😂

I've been following various plans. I have something coming up for the next week and a half and then I plan to start exante again, probably on 4th August.

@Helene2019
Best of luck to you with IVF, all my fingers are crossed also!

@WhoWants2Know well done I can’t wait to reach 2 stone !

I’m having an unplanned day off plan today ..I had a brand new box I’d opened but not got round to Unpacking.. my dh took the rubbish out before he left this morning and tipped it all in the bin .
At least he recycled the box 😶

@Helene2019 good luck !

Do you mean he tipped all your products in the bin?! 😲

@ChunkySloth yes a 4 week plan 😒. I’d left it in the hallway tbf . He’s ordered me a new one next day delivery so all is forgiven. Unless I get crappy products
