Hi everyone. Finally starting my Exante diet today. Really hope I can stick at it. Loads of suport would be great! 13st 2 starting off today. Don't really have a target weight...any lose is great at this point, but I suppose i'd love to lose a stone at least. I've heard the first 3 days are the hardest so i'm sure i'll be on here every hour for support and motivation...good luck everyone :)
 
I've started today too along with a few others! Together we can do it, they say the first few days are really hard so prepare yourself for the worst. Stock up on allowed drinks (there's a sticky with a list) and make sure you drink plenty of water everytime you get a hunger pang. Hopefully in a few days we will both be in ketosis and hunger free :D
.....and then this time next week there will be significantly less of us ;)

All the best! xxxxx
 
Yes the first few days are the hardest. Can get headaches & nausea so may need some paracetamol. Some people also feel cold. Try and keep your water intake up & keep yourselves distracted. Good luck
 
Thanks girls, 12 hours in now and really starting to feel hungry, looking forward to bed lol I'm thinking day 2 will be much worse!! Hope you are all getting on ok tonight :) Walked past a clothes shop earlier and this really motivated me, good luck xx
 
Hey how are you all getting on? Into my second full day and i'm starving lol Lost 2 lbs my first day though so thats motivation to keep going... What can you drink apart from water? Coke zero? And how much? Hope you are having a good day x

Thanks so much, had a bad hour there feeling very light headed and dizzy. This is where the hard part sets in, have you experienced dizzyness or headaches yet? Any cure? xx
 
Yep, i'm a little lightheaded today too and a slight headache. Thankfully i'm not working so i've just had a nap and feel a bit better. I don't know what to suggest except paracetamol for the headache. And to keep glugging the water! I'm just focusing on the fact that this week is not going to be a walk in the park, but the result at the scales will make it all worth it :D :hug99:
 
Yeah i'm trying to think that too, tough feeling light headed and having 2 kids to look after. Thank you for all your support, just keep thinking get to next monday and it will all be worth it and by then i'll be used to it :) You are doing really well, did you weigh yourself today or waiting for a few days? I couldn't help myself lol x
 
No I didn't weigh myself, i'm trying to wait until Monday- because once I start i'd end up weighing several times a day :eek: Have you lost? I 'feel' like I have which is encouraging. I just can't wait to feel this surge of energy they all talk about....:zz: xx
 
I felt a headache earlier and tool loads of Water and pain killers so I'm feeling fine now. But I remember how I felt once I got over my first few days last time. I felt great and didnt want to come of diet. But the boyfriend begged me for v day. Lol boo. I wont be making that mistake again. We can do this!!

Thanks for that, it gives me a glimmer of hope!:) So many people have said how great they felt, it's all about doing it properly eh. Well done for getting back on the wagon xx
 
Yeah I weighed myself and had lost 2 lbs so hopefully that means you have too..really encouraging, hope its the same tomorrow!! Still feeling a bit light headed. Trying my best to drink plenty of water, really hoping this fades soon cause I don't feel like I want to eat anymore, but worried in case I faint! I'll try and get a nap later and should be better...getting into day 3 will be a big achievement... Well done to you both, we are doing so well xx

Fainting would not be good! I hope you feel better after your nap :hug99: I'm going to have a hot bath and an early night tonight. Hopefully i'll get a better nights sleep. YES Day 3 will be exciting!! We should turn a corner after day 3. How exciting! :D xx
 
My day 3 today , had a pretty rough spot around 4pm there for a while but feel better now, early night planned too, not a bad headache today but very light headed and kinda spaced out feeling...more spaced out than usual that is LOL.

Not feeling as hungry as I was earlier and kept 1/2 a shake to have hot going to bed, can't wait for the energy burst to come

I hope your day 4 is better :hug99: When does your Exante arrive? xx
 
Thats encouraging to hear we all feeling the same, hopefully we will all be feeling great in the next 2 days. This site is great, everytime I feel down I log on and one of you lovely ladies has sent me a lovely message, thank you all :) x
 
Well done!! I found day 3 a challenge yesterday, not until quite late in the afternoon though, I split a shake in 2 though and that seemed to get me over the worst of it, I wasn't tempted to eat, just felt very odd and light headed. Day 4 for me today and my Exante is out for delivery with the courier, I will be very glad not to be having any more Lipotrim it is truly awful stuff LOL. Admit to having a sneak peek and I'm down 6lbs so I'm very encouraged by that, failure isn't an option anyway I'd never hear the end of it from my hubs... I swear if he says quitters don't win and winners don't quit one more time.........
