Hi guys i have started Exante total solutions today, i have 93lbs to loose by September so just hope that i have the staying power, as i have no support at home. I feel ok so far on day 1 , apart from a slight headache , but i have been drinking plenty and have had 3 shakes so far and my last one to have shortly , it's chocolate so going to make it with hot water :) . Anyway just thought i would introduce myself and say hi and if there are any other new starters out there please feel free to be my weight loss buddy :)

Hi.
I have just started week 5 but still feel like a newbie!

Welcome and good luck
 
Hi and welcome.

I've been on this 6 weeks now and believe me the first few days are the worst.
Are you doing 4 packs per day then?
 
Hi
Day 1 here too (about 3rd time) - keep going back to it as I know if I stick to it then it works. It's just not being able to maintain when I actually get to where I want to be as life seems to get in the way!

My headache has just kicked in but I think that's because I've not had enough to drink. Only at 1.5 litres so far

Good luck for tomorrow x
 
Hi guys thanks for all the messages :) i have started off on the 1st 2 days with 4 packs then 3rd day onwards will be 3 packs a day. I have done exante before and lost 4 st and kept it off for 2yrs but i went through a bad patch last yr after a 15yr relationship broke down and i just pilled the weight on, through happiness i guess lol , but i am going to approach it the same way as i did last time and that is 4 packs for day 1-2 then 3 packs until goal met , no exercise in week one, well not exhaustive exercise anyway , then i will hit the gym 5 times a week and do 1 hr of cardio each day and maybe the odd zumba class. As my energy levels increased over the weeks i upped my level of exercise and changed it round ,i found that doing interval training on the treadmill was excellent for burning fat and the inches fell off my waist and drinking lots of water really helped and improved my skin. I also took biotin tablets each day, which is not for everyone, but as a man( not being sexist) on a vlcd it can thin your hair much more than women so it actually improved my hair and nails at the same time.
 
Wow all that exercise ! Well that won't be me

Lol i know it seem a little excessive but in all honesty it's only around 3hrs 45mins of cardio a week as i will be going 5 day per week and ruffly around 45mins per session like i did before and it really does increase energy levels and makes you feel much better and helps with sleep :)

Don't worry it's only a little hiccup :) are you drinking enough water ? if not drink more to help you feel fuller, also you may want to consider Biotin, this is what i am taking now and i took last time i did it and it does help with hunger , i bought max strength 10,000 mcg off of eBay , it cost around £8 but lasts for around 3months , hope this helps :)

You're doing great - well done! :)
