Enough! Enough Enough Enough

Wow, I’m late to this thread so just read it from the beginning, it was great to see you set your goals and then watch you achieve them with each update!

Thanks! Going for our night away tonight and I weigh 12 stone bang on - so mini goal achieved! Numbers kept flickering to 11.13 but settled on 12 no matter where I moved the set of scales to on the bathroom floor

Next goal, to be under 11.11 by the time I go away camping (22nd June). this is because it would take me to a BMI number starting with a 24 which would be nice

Congratulations! That's amazingly good progress

So 8 weeks completed on exante manplan (occasional glass of prosecco and one kick ass 7 course tasting menu on Saturday night aside) and I weigh in this morning at 11.12. Haven't seen the 11s on the scale for 5 years, so feels pretty good
Want to lose another 2 lbs by next Thursday before we go camping, but even if I don't I feel really good now.
Haven't really been craving food much - pretty bored with the flavours of milkshakes I have left but I know Exante are struggling a bit to fulfil orders so can't really be bothered to order much else at the moment.
Not sure how long I'll do this for - originally thought just 4 weeks, then just 8 weeks. Will see how I go.
Keep on keeping on everyone!

Going away today - have achieved next mini goal - weigh 11.10 and, more importantly have a BMI in the NORMAL range (only by 0.1 point but I'll take it!
Lots of people are noticing I've lost weight and I feel really good - so thank you Exante
Weight is coming off slowly at 2lbs a week, and I'll try not to put too much on this weekend. Will stick to low carb and 18:6 and keep alcohol quite low (cough cough).
Only 3lbs til my goal on here, and I think I'll probably reset that to 11st by August 8th (my 10th wedding anniversary).
Feeling good today

Hi. Just been reading your thread. Well done for getting on the diet wagon and sticking to it. I'm trying hard to follow calorie counting but I'm on day 4 today and haven't done well at all.

I've been looking at Exante online and it looks appealing. I'm aware it'll be incredibly difficult at first but I think the discipline of only being able to have their products will be just what I need. I have however had SlimFast before and found them to be revolting. I don't expect meal replacements to be as nice as the product they're replicating but I was wondering what Exante products are like. Are there some that are quite nice or are they all just not nice versions of milkshake/chocolate?

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated before I part with my money. Thanks

Hi im on my 2nd week on Exante mostly shakes & bars i do really like most of the shakes didnt think i would & they do fill you up. I lost 5lb in my first week but i was cutting down before i started on this meal plan. Ive got 5st to lose. Good luck

Hi Les,

I have 3 shakes and two boiled eggs daily. I try not to eat anything until midday and then space it out every 3 hours or so.
I really live for my eggs! Can't wait until I am at goal weight and I can switch to low carbing, which is a way of eating I feel really well on and can maintain.

NSV was buying a beautiful Coast Dress from a charity shop yesterday in a size 14 and it fits (just). It will be perfect to wear at a wedding this summer and even when I lose another stone (and I WILL lose another Stone!!) it will work for me. Bargain for £8.50

I'm just plodding along now. I'm not tempted to cheat as I want to do this as quickly as possible, and I'm encouraged by the change even a stone lost (1 stone 5 from my highest weight) has made to my shape.

Keep on keeping on Les - message me whenever you want and I'll try to update here more often.

If I have 3 shakes and 2 eggs can I reach ketosis? I’m on day 6 of TS and I’d kill for an egg

Well I went camping....and ate everything in sight Didn't even enjoy it that much (I ate bread - I hate bread!) and it was easy to come back and have a couple of days straight on shakes. Weigh in shows 2lbs up this week which I'll take. However, I think having lost 2 stone that I want to switch to low carb and intermittent fasting to lose the last 12 lbs. The reason being that I want to start exercising quite intensively (well, intensively for me!) and I am aware that I have been avoiding exercising on Exante as I have been worried about feeling too weak or hungry. So I will bid this thread adieu and thank everyone for all their help and support. I wish you all luck in achieving your goals. I am off I think to start a diary over in another section (low carb? IF? Not sure) to track down to my final goal.

My life would be so simple if i hated bread too!
