Walking sounds like a good idea - ease yourself into it though!

I am not on kik messenger but my Twitter and Instagram usernames are on my profile page

Ok I'll try and find you...

Yea I do plenty of walking anyway before starting this so it's all good I hope xx

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

[Sharkbait_83]

Day 18 completed 100%! Sneaky mid week weigh in and I am down another 4lbs so far! Another 2lbs and I will have lost 2 stone! Honestly, the motivation you get from how quick you lose the weight on Exante is amazing! I have another 5 stone to go but am determined! This is the restart to the life I deserve!

Breakfast: lemon bar
Lunch: Indian Dhal
Dinner: Chocolate Coconut Bar

Today my best friend is black coffee, I have had 4 mugs of the stuff... Pretty sure I will be bouncing off the walls soon

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Hahahaha if it keeps you going that's the main thing... I'm using exante flavoured coffee as I don't like black coffee but it tastes terrible lol

thanks buffy! how are you finding Atkins? x

I'm actually really enjoying it. I can still have big plates of food which I appreciate. I don't get sugar cravings, and am not feeling hungry at all. I also didn't really suffer from headaches etc. at the beginning. I've not had a huge emery surge, but overall I am feeling better. And sleeping loads better. It's also helped my IBS hugely. I haven't had any IBS symptoms for 4 weeks now which is brilliant.

I am starting to miss potatoes though. I've ordered lots of cauliflower in this weeks shop to make cauliflower mash. The recipes I've found all say it's supposed to taste similar to potato mash.

I have to say, I am impressed you are sticking to it. I tried slim fast a few years ago and only lasted a day. I really missed chewing food. But as you've proved, you can make it work and lose loads! Well done you x x

I have found a new hot meal I like (I have been surviving on Indian dhal or the couscous which i wasn't supposed to be eating)... The red bean chilli is delicious!

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Gonna have to try that next time

 

[Sharkbait_83]

It's lovely! But that may be because I have only been eating Indian dhal for dinner for the past few weeks so the chilli is a different taste for my palate!

Day 19 completed 100%

Breakfast: Lemon Bar
Lunch: red bean chilli (yum!)
Dinner: cherry almond bar
Water: 3.5 litres

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Yea could well be... what's the Indian dhal like, I haven't
Tried that yet xx

 

[Sharkbait_83]

It's the only other hot meal I like! Has a good flavour to it x

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Might be tempted to try one tomorrow ...

Are you allowed more than one meal a day or should you mix up the packets

 

[Sharkbait_83]

You can do whatever is easier for you! I usually do two bars and a hot meal each day as I am not a fan of the shakes

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Yea I've brought a combination at minute, next order I will do a few more meals and bars. As they really nice

 

[FatBoy_slimUK]

Couldn't do shakes as I wouldn't feel like I'm eating
