Total Solution It's my time :)

[Naz1577]

Hey,

A lil about me and why am doing this. My name is Naz.29yo.Wife.Mum to an 18 mo.
I have been overweight all my life. I think I might have been at a decent weight for about 3-4 months n all of my life. Not that I haven't tried every diet I read, I just couldn't continue when the weight loss slows down. Plus a little won't hurt attitude....has hurt me a lot
Why am doing this:

I want to set a good example for my daughter
I want to be confident,as I always think everyone is judging me because of my weight
I want to look good besides my husband. Don't want ppl to think I got lucky...actually people have said that to me ( luv hubs to bits, he has never made me feel that way...bless him)
I want to look good in everything I wear , feel beautiful
I want to do things like horse riding etc things that have stopped me because of weight limits

I hope reading this back later will keep me going when I am feeling down. All the support on this forum is what helped me decide on Exante. I am going to keep myself accountable with this diary.

Starting today 21/06/12

Had been so excited and nervous to start and I am so happy that I have completed day 1. As per suggestions on the forum,I split all my meals in two and am so glad I did. Evenly spaced them out and did not feel hungry all day. Had porridge, Thai soup and a bar today and also had 3L of water
At one point I did think I have such a long way to go,can I keep it up for that long? Then I decided not to look that far ahead and take it one day at a time hoping to get to a healthy BMI for the first time in my life

hello and :welcome2: Naz, glad you have chosen to get on the exante wagon with the rest of us, you will gets loads of support and advise on here plus a good space to have a good moan about things as we are all in the same boat just at different stages in our journey but all wanting the same goal ultimately!
One day at a time is the best way to look at it, as you rightly say it isn't going to happen over night (wouldn't that be great if it did) we are all here for the long hall so hopefully we will get to our goals even with ups and downs on the way .

Good Luck with your journey

 

[Naz1577]

Thanks Jacqueline ! That's a very sweet msg. Thanks again. All the best to all of us on this journey

Hi Naz,

Well done for getting off to a good start - stick with it. You will feel amazing even after the first week.

Exante is the best thing i could have done for myself - I have lost around 3.5 stone since March. The only problem is I need a new wardrobe!!

Good afternoon Naz, welcome and good luck on your Exante journey.

Not that you'll need luck, once you get through the first 3 or 4 days, this diet is so easy and rewarding. :hug99: xx

 

[Naz1577]

Thanks Gigglepants I was prepared for it to be hard the first 1 week, sometimes 2, of exante. But I am still nervous about it, but reading everyones diaries,their struggles and still sticking to it, makes me feel a bit more ready to see it through

You have had good results with exante *thumps up*

I just realized everyone uses stones instead of kgs so am gonna convert mine here (used to live where we weighed in kgs)

Starting weight: 15st 3lbs
Goal weight: 9st 4lbs
Weight to lose: ~ 6 stones
I am going to meet my family again around mid December and I am hoping to get to target and re-feed before then. I have been told its a stone a month but seeing everyones wtloss,I feel kind of positive and hoping my body co-operates

Thank you, my losses aren't as great as some of the others. I think my age (51) and having gone through the menopause might have something to do with that! But I'm thrilled with this diet. Wish I'd heard about it years ago! xx

 

[Naz1577]

Giggle pants, You been having steady loss and that's just great!! I just hope I get steady losses

Day 2

It was generally ok. Even tho I split my meals I was hungry today just kept drinking loads of water, close to 4L.just abt managed to stay on track.yaay me plus all the diaries motivated me to keep going! I think early night for me today.

on the plus side,I have lost 3lbs (cudnt resist weighing myself hehe). Just got to keep reminding myself y am dong this

Well done you. Glad you did the weight conversion - my mental maths was never good! 5ft 4in?? You can tell I'm in my 50's I still havn't gone fully metric. I spend most of my life having to 'ask a teenager' about things but I struggle on as one of lifes technophobes and buying milk by the pint. Lol.

Day 3

Done and dusted I thot it will be hard as it is the weekend but it went very smoothly. Just got to keep myself busy

Was hungry mid day but drank loads of water ,coffee and it kind of helped. I always think if I need it, I will just have another pack or half a pack but so far been strong. Got to keep remembering my target and how much I want to feel better about myself.

Sometimes I think it's just early days,wil I be as strong next week or month? But then I tell myself, when the time comes I will deal with it and the support from here and my family will get me through it
Just feeling grateful for all the love and support I am getting. Don't want to let anyone down. Xxx

 

[Footie widow]

Fantastic attitude Naz! I keep worrying about farther down the line but then keep telling myself 'one day at a time' and concentrate on the here and now (God I sound like an alcoholic!!) Lol.

Have managed 100% TS since Tues when I started so am feeling chuffed with myself but not so chuffed that I get complacent I hope. XX

 

[Lois]

Good morning Naz. It does get easier, especially once you get your first weigh in done and you see just how fab this diet is!

Like Footie widow says, take one day at a time. You're doing brilliantly hun. Stay motivated :hug99: xx
