Good luck for tomorrow. You're bound to have a brilliant loss!
End of week 1 and the final figure is 12lb exactly (how nice the scales have shown me a nice round figure to calculate!) All in all it hasn't been too tough but my determination has been high this week so I was 100% all the way!!! I know that this week the loss will slow as last week was a lot of water weight but I would love to see the number go into the 16's by next weigh in. Energy wise, I have been feeling very good and have an increase in energy and mood. Must be the ketosis? The ketostix are a nice pink colour so I am definitely in the fat burning zone now. Got to keep this up. Now I have to really try to stay off the scales as I don't want to be put off if I don't have a loss (I weigh far too frequently). I am so pleased to get a weekend over and done with so I know it is possible. Have started knitting so I have something to do with my hands to help with boredom snacking in the evening. Also going to really really try to get the 4 litres of water down every day to flush that horrible fat out and come on minimins for support and inspiration. Good luck to everyone this week - let's make this one count!!

Brilliant loss. Well done!!!!!
Thanks to all for your congrats!! Day 8 nearly done..went for a long swim this evening and just had my chocolate shake. However, food fantasies crept into my thoughts today, it didn't help that the skinny minnie who sits opposite me kept going on and on about how hungry she was and snacked ALL afternoon. She then said.."Oh, someone kick me up the arse to stop me eating and make me do some work"....so I did.....
So much for not hopping on the scales every day...just couldn't stop myself...another 1.5 pounds off!!! Another half pound and that will be the first stone..yay! Never would happen with the traditional diets. 100% all the way!!!!! Finishing a banana shake, get the first pint of water down and off to work....

If the scales keep us going then so be it lol your doing great
your doing great Nearly coming to the end of day 9. Today is the first day that my stomach was actually aching from hunger! I feel so empty even though I have now had 4 litres of water. I am still in ketosis and willpower is still strong so know that I won't give in but the hunger pangs are so strong. I am now having a big glass of fizzy water with ice to see if that helps. I am still in ketosis (ketostix still pink) but feeling a little restless and jittery. I felt quite sleepy at work this afternoon too. I think my body is starting to protest a little but I WILL stay strong...I wonder if my body is trying one last chance today to see if I will eat something..if I don't then it will have to keep burning fat...I should go for a wee swim before the pool shuts but think I will walk the dog and have a nice warm bath and get to bed although i have a funny feeling tonight may be a sleepless night. Hope everyone is doing ok today

It isn't easy but you need to keep going. Have early nights and drink plenty of water and you'll get through the difficult bits. The first 3 days of restarts are my worst bits! I'm on the 2nd day (again) and my hands are like blocks of ice!!!!
Hi Lynne..just back from walking the dog. I think the pint of fizzy water helped as hunger pangs have gone now. Best of luck with your restart..I think restarts are more difficult than when you start exante for the first time, the novelty value is not the same and you are more impatient to lose the weight. I know what you mean about the cold extremities. I have to go to bed with socks on at the minute as my feet are freezing at night. Last time I did exante my body temperature dropped and I lost lots of hair! (the things we do...lol!!!) keep going, ketosis around the corner!!!

Blimey. I don't want to go bald!
Only thinned out a little..thickened up when I stopped..temporary side effect..luckily I have loads of it!

My hair is very thick so I can afford to lose a bit. Lol.
Day 10 begins...yesterday was difficult but only for a few hours but I stuck it out with the result that another 1.5lbs of yuckky fat gone. That brings me to 14.5lb in total! what a boost!!! I wonder when it will slow down? When I have done this before weight loss usually slows to half a pound a day. Is it the water? Is it because I haven't sneaked any protein in (used to be the odd sneaky bit of chicken or ham) so maybe thats it? Maybe it is because I put that last stone on very quickly before I started exante and it didn't have time to solidify lol! Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. These results are giving me a real boost to my willpower to keep going. Time will tell. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I was able to lose at this rate all the time, I would be at target in no time but I need to prepare myself for the slow down. In the meantime, I will keep going, keep chugging down the water and see what happens....
