Total Solution Viva Weight Loss...Day 1

[GillyLasVegas]

So I have been reading through all the diaries on here and they really do give you a push and make you more determined. So,to make this journey easier for me im going to do one too.
My names Gill,and i have until my wedding in Vegas in April 13' to lose 5 stone. Eeeek. I started on Exante today and am pretty excited.I had a strawberry shake for breakfast and it was lovely! Even ignored my son cooking himself a sausage sandwich *gee thanks lol*
Had a vegetable soup which was okayish..still ate it and am now feeling fine,not hungry,but am looking forward to having something "solid" to eat,in my bar later.
Am concerned about the 'Exante Flu' i have been reading about but i have the next few days free so hoping plenty of fluids and rest will help if it hits...Lets see what Day 2 brings..

Hi Gill, glad you're getting through the day. The first few days can be tough, but the water, water and more water method seems to help me! There's some fantastic support on here, and almost always someone who knows the answer to questions. 5 stone will be easily achievable by April, just make sure you use this time to plan ahead for maintaining your slim self. Good luck!

Its the morning of Day3 and i caved and got out the scales...and...and ive lost 7lbs !! I got on and off about 6 times to double check! Stunned ...but very very happy . Coke zero has been my friend when i have had tough times, but i dont wake up hungry anymore.I make the OH and my son meals and the only thing that has been hard is the automatic "put a bit of cheese in my mouth" or,as happened yesterday,i went to take some paracetamol and automatically took a mouthful of my sons orange juice..Then ran to the sink to spit it out lol. Have to say this is not as hard as i thought it would be...I keep waiting for "something bad" to kick in and it really hasn't. My legs have ached but a couple of pain killers sort that.Also a lovely side effect is i am sleeping like a baby ( soundly,not waking up every 4 hours screaming for food ) Its wonderful....I will check in,in a few days.I wanted to shout about the loss as reading others on here doing the same has REALLY helped me.

Onwards and upwards...im off to make a hot chocolate out of a shake

So end of Day 4 and i decided on AAM.I won't be doing the week of meals,instead having 1 day a week.Just finished and feel full even though i didnt really have alot to eat. Still thinking about food alot though,but not because i am always hungry,i suppose it is just habit LoL. Find im not hungry in the mornings either and im really getting used to black coffee (just upped the sweeteners). Hoping the scales will be kind to me in a few days....Fingers crossed

It's Day 5 in the Exante house and ive made a decision.The thought of having more than 1 shake a day,and the thought of TOUCHING another soup made me want to hurl.So i have bought some food packs from Slim and Save. So now i will be having an exante shake for breakfast,a bar for lunch,and one of the meals from s&s for tea. First day on it and its brilliant.I feel like im eating..im full up and not gone over my calorie or carbs limit .Hopefully this wont muck up my weight loss this week.I suppose it was just my way of trying to find something that fitted in with me and know that i would be able to stick to it.

Day 8-Weigh In
Day 6 was not a good day at all. Started off well...but my son and I went to Castleton with the in-laws,was good ALL day,but in the evening felt awful,weak,sick,dizzy...So had a packet of crisp and some home-made shortbread. So annoyed with myself! BUT the good thing,the different thing this time is ,the following day,i got right back on the VLCD horse...and it paid off...This week i lost..*drum roll* ..11LBS!!!!!!!!
YAY! What a incentive to keep going!
