¡¡ʎǝuɹnoɾ s,ǝpuolqǝǝzʇıp - same old, same old!

With the way I lose it will take long enough, lol. Dont know how much longer Im going to last on it to be honest. Ive given up hope of making it to a size 12 for my holidays though and am now aiming for a size 14. Means I need to buy another new holiday wardrobe in a size 14 now, such a hardship. ;)
 
Oh no... shopping!!! How are yr losses on exante?
 
To be honest theyre not as good as they should be (although Ive had a good week coz Id gained 3lbs after coming off it). Its too high in carbs for me and I dont get into ketosis so my losses are purely based on the calorie deficit. Means Im constantly hungry though which is torture. I decided the other day that Im going to switch to WS which is basically adding a low carb meal coz otherwise I really am going to find it too much of a struggle.

Its not nice Jim. I managed in the beginning coz the losses were sustaining me and by the time they werent I was used to only having the 3 packs a day. Since coming off it and eating real food though its been pretty tough.

But on only 500 cals that should drop you into ketosis no matter what yr carbs are! No fun to be hungry at all hope the new plan works. x

I have no idea why it doesnt work for me but the first time Ive been in ketosis in months is when I moved back to Atkins the other week.
 
I suppose its cheaper than food but considering Im now eating as well it probably isnt worth it. I just dont have the patience for the gain which comes when I start eating again. I may start reintroducing more food though and then switch over again. I was looking back at my losses and in the amount of time I was on Atkins I actually lost more than I lost in the same amount of time on Exante.
 
Good Morning and many congratulations on getting into the 20's :D

I'm thinking that Atkins sounds much more sociable than CD, what did you use as your 'bible'? I know the basics i.e. protein but that's about all :eek: xxx

If by "Sociable" you mean we are a bunch of Alkies, I'd go for that ;)
