Bev - Round 2

[summergurl]

Ah yeah I lost my appetite a few weeks ago. It's very weird you know you have to eat but can't physically get it down you!

Shame the wedding has been postponed again but atleast you got your holibibs to look forward to

 

[MiniB]

Thomasina, if I could lose the excess 3 stones I would be very happy indeed. If I were to lose 4 stones that would be fantastic but not that bothered about how much I lose really. I'm not setting a target cos that puts too much pressure on me. See you on the exante site soon.

Anything I lose I will be glad of!

So far I'm finding exante a lot tastier than LT. The banana shake is lovely and I've just had the toffee bar for lunch and it's really nice too! It's a lot cheaper than LT too (if you buy the month supply), which I really like. Any way to save money nowadays is welcome. What with the amount of rubbish I wont be buying for myself, we should be saving a lot each week.

and what you save you can spend on new clothes for your holiday

Glad you are liking it Bev Have you tried the choc orange bar yet? They are just like the terrys chocolate orange segments, the ones with crispy bits in and I loved them! :giggle:

 

[irish molly]

Bev it is good to hear you are settling into your exante plan. It really helps that you have the variety with it too. Looking forward to your first weigh in!!

Exante sounds so much nicer than Lipotrim. Do you need to go to the Chemist for them, or do you order them online?

 

[Zebs07]

Mmmm I'm liking the sound if Exante too - def gonna try when need new stocks of maintenance...

Exante sounds so much nicer than Lipotrim. Do you need to go to the Chemist for them, or do you order them online?

Order online Mary. It's £100 for a 4week supply but you get an even mix of everything, shakes soups and bars you can't chose what you want. Well that's what it was when I did it is it still the same Bev?

 

[kered]

If ever I had to do TFR again, I think I would choose exante.......seems more of a mixture.

 

[MiniB]

Still the same deal on Tanya. My food now costs me only £25 a week. Cheaper and tastier than LT. Great!

In ketosis now and can't wait to get rid of the weight. Feeling really good and full of energy, no headaches and also feeling much more positive. Glad I'm OK with exante, not sure what I would have done if I didn't like it at all. Had the thai chicken soup last night and it was nice. So far I don't like the vanilla that much but everything else is nice. Going to try the mushroom soup tonight, fingers crossed it's nice too. Drinking about 3 litres of water a day, loads of toilet trips but it's all exercise. Played over 2 hours of badminton last and felt absolutely fine. No dizziness or tiredness so I know I can continue with that and my gym sessions.

 

[Zebs07]

Sounds like ur doing great! You sound so positive!

It's weird eh - but it's almost as if TFR is a kinda snuggly security/comfort blanket for us all! A peaceful reprieve from decisions re food choices and planning etc. You know where ur at and what ur doing - hardest part is over - and now it's onwards and upwards (in mindset; obviously ur weight will definitely be downwards lol)

Way to go ... A part of me is almost envious of the buzz ur experiencing right now! The world is ur oyster and ur taking control ... Woo hoo!

Ps. I'm not envious of the feeling cold bit tho - that was the worst part with me! Needing to live in the bath lol

 

[summergurl]

Ahh glad to hear you are coping well on it Bev and still able to play badminton and go to the gym be careful not to overdo it though.

I didn't much like the vanilla shake either - infact I gave about 10 away the other week to my friend :giggle: x

 

[kered]

Glad its going well for you Bev, as Ness says, it is nice to have the comfort of knowing there are no decisions to be made on TFR, the only decision is which flavour to have as your next meal.

Use your time to focus on why you are nibbling, and perhaps for when you finish TFR, adjust your activity in the evening to stop you thinking of nibbling etc.

I am sure you will get it sussed, and just focus on that up-coming holiday and the wedding next year.

Keep it up Bev, you are doing great.

 

[irish molly]

Bev, I hope you have managed the weekend well on Exante. Weekends are always a toughie on TFR.

 

[MiniB]

Thanks for all the advice above ladies, much appreciated as always.

Got through the weekend fine. Even cooked hubby's tea for him on saturday and it smelt lovely. Not tempted in the slightest though, I even washed my fingertips instead of licking off what was on them. Now, am I being good or what? Was in ketosis at the end of day 2 and now my hands are a little cold too. I am only going to weigh once a week whilst on this, Tuesdays are my weigh day and I can't wait til tomorrow. Feel as though I've done well up to now, no cheating, 100% all the way for me.

I will let you all know tomorrow how I've done, that's if you haven't heard me shouting it from the rooftops tomorrow morning already!!

 

[irish molly]

Ooooh! Excited for you for your first weigh in. I bet it is fab!

 

[Zenaworrier]

Hi Bev,
Glad things are going well! Are you going to stay on till you have lost all the weight? I started today and going ok!

 

[summergurl]

Ooh glad you got on ok with your first weekend looking forward to seeing your first weight loss x

 

[MiniB]

First weigh in and lost 10lbs!! Very pleased with that. I know the hard work starts now, well it does for me. I find the diet quite boring from here on in but that's the price I will pay for not maintaining!

Finding exante really tasty and much better than LT. With so many flavours to chose from I'm hoping the remainder of my time on this wont be so boring as LT. Really loving the fact that I can still chew something cos the bars are really nice, really missed that on LT.

Here's to week 2 and a few more pounds falling!!

 

[Zebs07]

FANTASTIC 10lb wow .... Well done, soooperb!
