Total Solution It's my time :)

Yay Naz! A stone in 2 weeks is fantastic!! Good for you.

I know what you mean about getting impatient... I feel the same. But stick with it - will be so worth it!

Have a great weekend. XXX
 
Well done on this weeks loss Naz, 1 stone in 2 weeks is fandabbydozy!!!! :)
 
Good afternoon Naz, hope you've had a fab weekend on plan :hug99: xx
 
Thanks guys!! :D

100% weekend! Even though we had unexpected guests and I had to cook proper meals ( my OH is happy with simple meals so I don't have to spend ages in the kitchen,bless him ) so was cooking for a couple of h ours then entertaining .....downside : forgot to have a meal!! And by the time they left it was too late to have another full meal!
At times I was thinking of eating some, tasting the food, "just a spoon won't hurt" but I dint!!! Yaaaay me!! My OH volunteered to taste everything! I told them I was dieting and apologised for not joining in, which they were very understanding of, they r a nice bunch. But nw I have to think of what to do when we have more difficult guests,the nosy ones,the ones who keep forcing you to eat....any tips would be appreciated guys!!

So all n all a good weekend!! Week 3 is going smoothly ,just need to drink more water,make up for yest :)
 
Well done Naz, I admire your resolve. Especially as it was all unexpected and short notice. Things like that can easily trip you up when you haven't had time to plan ahead. You have obviously got your head in the right place. Big pat on the back for you!!. XX

So today was my 3 week weigh in and lost 3 lbs :D

If I continue to lose an average 3 lbs per week I am sure I will get to goal. I feel so pleased with myself for doing exante with no cheats at all. Been 100% the last 3 weeks and I am soo happy, I feel I am going to make it this time. After dieting for ages and not ever reaching my ideal weight, I feel in the next 5 months,I am going to get to goal !!!
I knw 5 months is a long time and I will have to face several difficulties in the way but I am ready, I am prepared.

My only real apprehension is when my in-laws come to visit us in a month or 2, they will be staying with us, prob for several weekss. even though my MIL is like diet conscious (read : thin) I dont know what she will make of exante plus by then I would have lost another stone to stone and half, I don't know if they will be like now you dont need to be strict. I have been on diets before and even though she has never ever forced me,she always said one piece wont hurt etc

Anyways,for now I plan to be 100% till I get to goal. My 5 year wedding anniversary is on Sunday and we have planned a dinner together, my hubs was telling me he will take some place where it is ketosis friendly, he is a sweetheart :heartpump: And I think I will be back to TS right after. I am also planning to stay TS except for real special occasion or every 3-4 weeks. Just one single meal. I dont feel I am at a stage where I can do a week AAM and then go back to TS. So am gonna stick to one AAM day every 3-4 weeks.Also I like the fact that I dont have to cook a special meal for myself at this stage. When it comes time to refeed I will plan accordingly :)
I do plan and replan and plan again ....anything to get me to goal. Apart from this diary I have a written diary where If you look ,it will all be calculations...of what weight I shd be each week, what I shd weigh end of each month to get to target etc etc etc I might be obsessed :giggle:

Anyways, Ready for Week 4....bring it :cool:
 
Well done Naz. You are well on your way to 5 month goal. I sympathise about the in-law thing, people who do not have a weight problem never seem to 'get it'. Hopefully seeing your progress so far will make them realise that you are doing a good thing and leave you alone. Anyway you sound very strong and determined so I am sure you will be fine. With your organisational skills I am sure you will come up with some coping strategies between now and then.

Keep up the good work. XX
 
Thanks FW. Just the support and motivation I am getting from the forum will keep me going!! I love you guyssssss :hug99:xxx
 
Well done on your loss this week Naz! Doing fab :)
 
Thank you MissP,Flubster and smiley!!!

So yest was my 5th wedding anniversary and I had initially decided I will be doing WS. But then I kept thinking about the "theory of cheat meal" ,if u do get a a better loss after a small gain etc So finally convinced myself I am going to *ahem* experiment with myself hehe

Well I must have not done it right *shakes head* First of all I kind of planned for the calories so on Sat I had just 2 packs, had only like a quarter of a bar of exante bar before my dinner!! For dinner (not listing what I had) I could have veryyyy little food, my stomach has shrunk plus even tho the food tasted delish (includin dessert) I wasn't like greeedy,just enjoyed the little bit I had and thats abt it. I am straight back into TS today. And as I am self confessed daily weigher, I weighed and I have STS:eek: So I am guessing I dint really do a cheat cos my calories probably addded up to the same from the last 2 days! Feel like I wasted my chance of a cheat ;) *giggle* But I am also gladd I dint gain anything because I havnt had great losses this week at all to be honest,infact stayed the same for the past couple of days (still struggling with water) So I need a little bit of loss before Thursday to get my pre-calculated and re-calculated wt loss target for the week!! So plan for the next 3 days, to try and get to target for the week
1)3 shakes a day (split into 6)
2)Min 3L water
3)30 mins of exercise

I feel happy today (not because of the meal) even when I was having my meal I kept thinking, I am going to do Exante tomm, I feel happy that I am focused now :D After all the yearssss of dietinggg, I feel I can do it this time.I am thinking of the amount of weight I would have lost by December or even by Sept when I meet my in-laws (last saw them April). I never thought I would feel this way abt any "diet" ever. Loveeeeee Exante and love this forum for the support, sooo couldnt have got to where I am now mentally and physically . I am grateful my OH suggested I try this , I think he was sort of fed up with my whining abt my weight hehehe( I thank him oftenn for his suggestion :) )and also for believing I could do this, I dint think for a sec I could do this before he sort of suggested it!

Well I am a happpy personn today !!!! And in the "Exante Zone" (feel like a zen warrior ;) )

To everyone who might be thinking of doing exante, try it and this might be what you have been looking for allll along :D
 
Week 4 weigh in and lost 1 1/2 half pounds :( Actually gained a bit from yest. I am feeling a bit bloated today as well which i havnt since i started exante. So the wt has sts/increased since friday( daily weigher)

I kept wondering what i was doing different, then i read a post asking if sucralose (slenda) vs aspartame makes a difference in some people ...... And looking back to wen i made the switch it was the friday....i am nw wondering if tats what has stalled my wt loss?!? So to confirm i am gonna get some aspartame soon and stop sucralose. And till i get my hands on some i am going to avoid slenda completely and see if tat makes a difference.

Even though i have been feeling rubbish cos of the halted wt loss, today as i realise what it could be ,i feel amazingly calm! I am going to continue TS as planned and take a small break on Sunday (cant trust myself to do a full week AAM and restart TS after easily). Onward and downward it is for me:) xxx
 
Day 30 !
I cant believe I made it to 30 days on exante!! I have lost 9 kgs this month (19 lbs) !!! I dint believe I could do exante when my OH suggested it first ( I been whining abt my weight for ever) but nw tat I am here I feel empowered. I feel I can get to goal even though I have another 56-60 lbs to go. Even though the initial days takes a bit of adjusting , once you are through it, i feel it is plain sailing ( hmmm .... most of the time :eek: ) . The forum is truly a big support!! I cant count the nmber of times I thought "maybe just a lil of this wont hurt " but reporting it on here had stopped me :) thanks for all the support guys :) *hug*

Cant believe its a month already!!!:happy036:
 
Well done Naz! Well done for starting Exante, sticking with it, getting back on it when you needed to, and losing 19lbs in a month - awesome job!!
