Working Solutions 70 days to lose the last 35 lbs

[sarahevans]

So I Stopped lighterlife on Wednesday and I'm starting exante on tues(the bumper pack is being delivered tues due to bank hols) I'm looking forward to it. I think I want to lose approx 35 lbs one of my best friends returns from travelling in 70 days from Monday so I think that'll be a nice end point to aim for. I'm 5'11 so luckily have height on my side!! I'm hoping to end up near the 14 stone mark roughly so I'll just see how I get on. Since I started lighterlife I did a video diary on my phone so I'm hoping to update that when I carry on so I can see the physical change in myself.

Sorry for ranting

Well done on your loss to date, it's excellent - good luck with Exante.........am so very jealous of your height

 

[sarahevans]

Ha ha height is the good thing on my side!!! I want to lose 25kg in 15weeks I've decided this morning so we will see

[sarahevans]

I know I can't wait to see her fingers crossed I'll
Be ok

 

[Tara Louise Beard]

Good luck to you. Your friend may not recognize you I hope you succeed x

 

[sarahevans]

I'm going to give it my best shot!! I've already lost 3 1/2 stone with lighterlife since she left but a bit more would be nice

 

[sarahevans]

And so it begins I've decided to start today which means I'll be on lighterlife packs today then my exante comes tomorrow I want to start whilst I feel in the zone

 

[sarahevans]

Decided I want to lose 39lbs now in 70 days I'd better crack on

 

[sarahevans]

Only managed to walk one mile on day 1 which is a bit disappointing because I got totally drenched!!!

Day 2 today so I've got the excitement of my exante bumper pack arriving and some ironing to tackle first I'm aiming to walk more and hopefully go swimming later

Hope everyone else is going well onwards and downwards for us all

These two photos are just to show the difference so far

 

[sarahevans]

Yay my Exante bumper pack has arrived happy days

 

[lozzer58]

Hi Sarah, glad your packs have arrived. How are you managing ? I am on day 5 at the moment and so far pleased with the results, its difficult not to compare to LL but doing good, quite enjoying it in a weird way but i think thats cos i feel more in control. Love your picture what a difference you look amazing. Hope your week goes well X

 

[sarahevans]

Hello

I'm enjoying it so far and managing quite well so far I just need to remember to keep drinking! I am feeling particularly irritable but I think thats a mix of reduced calories and some people I know annoying me!! And totm is due any day!! I had the exante choc orange bar for lunch it was lovely I've been for a little 1 mile walk then going swimming later.

 

[lozzer58]

Glad everything going well, yes must keep drinking i am finding having the coke zero a help. ( Missing the bacardi to go in it though) I also ordered the pack of 3 water flavourings, not a fan of water on its own. Not started any exercise yet, but i really must. I use to do a bit of running mainly 5k races, wanted to move up to doing my 1st 10k but have had a bad ankle for last couple of months so i only got one 10k training session in. At almost 55 left it a bit late to become any sort of athlete but seeing as i did no excercise at all for years i was quite proud that i could do 5k without stopping, and i always got a thrill running past much younger girls.!! Must get out and give it another try. X

 

[sarahevans]

Blimey you'd fly past me!! I could only run if being chased by a grizzly bear!! I think I'm heading into ketosis my arms and hands are freezing and look a bit corned beef like!!

Your pictures are an inspiration to me! I'm just on day 1...so far it had gone well but I have a long way to go yet! Thanks for the motivation!

[sarahevans]

Aah that's nice sometimes you don't see the change in yourself. How much are you hoping to lose?? I've got a long way to go too so we'll help each other

 

[Jadeypops]

It's true...you have done amazing! I have around 4st to lose.

I'm finding this forum such a help. I've just had a soup for tea whilst my other half had a lovely tea! I think it will be my cravings that will be the most difficult thing. In not hungry...just craving my enemy Mr Carbs! It will be worth it...just feels a long way off. So happy I can talk to you all about it, I haven't really got much support at home so thank you.
