Exante

Anyone here starting Exante?

I'm just waiting for my 4 week pack to arrive

I'm 5ft 1 and 13st 2lbs, looking to get to around 10st then will reassess.

I work shifts and am a single parent so really struggle with planning meals and having the motivation to cook after work or on the weekends.

Sent you a pm. There's a Facebook group you can join as well. There's some useful tips on there. You can only join once you've ordered I think.

@Campervan69 does the code work more than once? I’m interested!

Campervan69 · 09/01/2022 21:11

Yes will pm you

Hippywannabe · 09/01/2022 21:26

I also have a code for The New You Plan if anyone wants one. I am genuinely evangelical about the way it has changed things for me.

Amisilli · 10/01/2022 09:46

Started today! Need to lose as much as I can before my holiday in March

Campervan69 · 10/01/2022 10:07

Morning all. My weight loss on The New You diet has been astounding tbh. Having said that I've never managed to stick to anything before so maybe that's had an effect. Weighed in last Monday at 12 stone 6lbs. This morning I am 11 stone 9lbs. So 11lbs off the first week. I know it will slow down now but so pleased and motivated. Hope others are feeling similarly motivated this rainy January morning.

10littledinosaurs · 10/01/2022 10:34

Morning all! Day 2 for me today, at work at the moment had 1 product and loads of water already. Feeling quite hungry but I'm here til 4 then will race home to eat the rest Grin
I did have a cheeky weigh this morning and lost 3lb from yesterday, I know it's all water weight but was good motivation, won't be weighing until next week now.

Day 10 exante for me. Baby up all bloody night till magic daddy came down and she slept for him 😡. Then school run, baby down for nap ( more screams) clean kitchen, put away laundry, get swim kits together …and just remembered-I haven’t eaten yet today! Just had first shake before miss screamy face wakes up and we go to baby swimming ( aka screaming in water).

Orangesandlemons77 · 10/01/2022 17:53

Can I join you? Started Exante again after trying it last year... my problem is I have a sweet tooth and find myself craving the bars!

So, trying to stick to it this time.

Today had the bolognese for lunch, was OK ish, also the porridge pot for breakfast and a bar with coffee...

Orangesandlemons77 · 10/01/2022 17:58

If you google Exante codes they have some good discounts. I also have a code to use for Exante which can be used on top of the other codes.

It's SARAH-RHPZ

Good luck Flowers

10littledinosaurs · 10/01/2022 18:51

@Campervan69 that's an amazing loss for the first week well done!
@Paperyfish hope I get to the point where I forget to eat Grin
Hi @Orangesandlemons77 thanks for the code

Finished work at 4 and had a banging headache! Had chocolate peanut butter shake when I got in (lush) then the butternut squash soup which I thought was filling and mint chocolate shake. I'm doing 4 products rather than a meal because I'm lazy Smile

How's everyone getting on?

Morning all,
Day one done! I found the shakes and bar lovely and filling. I had the Thai pot and I think with some extra spice it will be okay.

I did have a banging headache, did anyone else experience this and how long will it last?

I'm also reducing the sugar in my drinks so imagine I'm having some sort of withdrawal Confused

Day 2 today! Hope you are all getting on well Smile

10littledinosaurs · 11/01/2022 11:07

@supertedious had a headache on day 1 and then it went, just sugar withdrawal I think! Well done on your first day, I'm on day 3 today and haven't felt hungry yet, long may it last Grin

I’ve gone and ordered some new you stuff to try for a week too. I’ve got some exante stuff left- but things I don’t much like. Cookies and cream shake for example. And Indian curry meal with rice. Not nice. Will plough on through though! Will update with a taste comparison :) did slim and save years back and I remember liking their stuff better than the exante!

Orangesandlemons77 · 11/01/2022 13:52

Having the Thai noodles for lunch, had the flapjack earlier thought it was quite nice with a coffee. Feeling quite hungry today

Campervan69 · 11/01/2022 15:11

Orangesandlemons77 I'm hungry today 😫 doesn't help that I live with lots of constantly cooking and eating boys and men. It's really hard. I will go and have a long bath when they're all home to try to avoid the delicious smells.

Orangesandlemons77 · 11/01/2022 15:24

I went and ate my final bar of the day which was daft as probably be hungry later. Trying also to avoid the leftover Christmas presents of biscuits etc lying around.

Campervan69 · 11/01/2022 18:42

I've had all mine too. Currently ploughing through a jelly whilst the smell of pizza fills the house.....

Orangesandlemons77 · 11/01/2022 18:46

Me too with the cooking for others....think tomorrow might try and save a bar for the evening as a wee treat perhaps.

Paperyfish · 12/01/2022 12:06

Got my new you pack today! Got loads of free stuff like water flavourings x2 and shakers and booklets and charts and 35% off next order and they have snacks! I got crisps and something masquerading as malteasers. The coconut bar took some chewing but seemed nice enough!

Hippywannabe · 12/01/2022 18:28

You will love it @Paperyfish.
Do come over to the New You Plan thread and join in too x are you on the Secret Slimmers fb group?

Campervan69 · 12/01/2022 18:50

The snacks are great. Have just made a pancake for my tea which was rather nice. I added an egg which you're not supposed to do but I am adding protein and berries in here and there as I don't think that will mess things up too badly. I didn't feel hungry at all today which was fantastic.

10littledinosaurs · 13/01/2022 10:29

How's everyone getting on? Day 5 for me and I've lost 5.7lbs so far, just 0.5lbs off the next stone bracket!
I ate barely anything yesterday, probbaly not even 200 cals which I know isnt good but I was busy all day then started a night shift at 4pm and I hate eating at work, I never eat on the night ght shift anyway. I wasn't hungry though which is a bonus I suppose. Making sure I have 4 products today.
I have to say once I got past day 3 my hunger just went, its so nice not to be constantly thinking about food!

Orangesandlemons77 · 13/01/2022 10:34

Going to try and go swimming shortly. Had a bar for breakfast but yes not really that hungry.

Hoping for a good day for everyone Flowers

Campervan69 · 13/01/2022 14:12

I'm 11 stone 8lbs this morning so 12 lbs down so far. Have got to the not feeling hungry stage which makes it easier. I'm not doing any exercise yet though until my body gets fully used to the less calories thing. Although I walk my son to school every morning which is about a mile.
