Well I weighed in and I put on 5 pounds in one day due to my day off! grrrr although 13 pounds is still decent.

End of week 1 stats -
Weight 22st 5lb - down 13pounds
Body Fat % 45.0 - down 0.5% :)
Visceral fat 17 - down 1 :)

BMI 49.1 - down 2 :)
Muscle Mass % 29.5 - up 0.2 :)
Body Water % 39.9 - up 40.3 :) - atleast I know its not just water I lost!
 
Gee well done that is a whole chunk off your target. Amazing. Well done for being so disciplined to do that. I hope it inspires you to more this week.
 
Well done - and try to stop weighing yourself every day, it does not help - some days you may retain more water than others and can discourage you. I used to look forward to my weekly weigh in so much!

Sharon well done. I know you are disappointed that u ate a few times...especially last night. BUT if you can lose 13lbs with a couple of cheats....think what u can do with a 100% good week. Well done xx
 
God, you lost that much and you cheated - I am madly jealous!!! Well done, that is a fabulous loss.
 
thats a good point babystar! hummm I did do some excersize - ok not loads just 3000m row X 3 and a 3 mile walk with the dog.
 
Keep looking forwards not back is the trick I think. :)

13lbs is a terrific 1st week loss (altho I'm a bit concerned that you have not always had your 3 packs a day, I think they are pretty essential in the early stages because of the nutrient content) so rather than being disappointed about your slip you need to be looking on it as a great building block to the rest of your weightloss!
 
thanks yambabe the only time i didnt have 3 packs aday was when i had a tuna salad instead of a soup for tea and monday when i ate 10 tonne of chilli beef! but making myself have them more spread out - I am having a shake in the morning and cutting the bar into 3 to nibble on when I want to and a soup for tea like i did for the first 5 days before i stuffed my face withh shreddered chilli beef LOL thanks xxx

edited and saturday morning i had an egg instead LOL but i am having NO FOOD this week!

Hi i'm new to Exante this is my second day and I'm sooo hungry! Plus feel like I have tummy ache all day despite drinking lots of water? Please tell me it gets easier!!
 
I was very lucky I never had much trouble but when ketosis kicks in - its ment to stop you feeling hungry, good luck hunni keep going.
 
thank you these forums seem great for giving each other support :) I just have to keep going and hopefully after the first week I'll get used to it a little more!
 
it will defo be worth it when you step on those scales on day 7 xx
 
My little stick says I am in ketosis but i am still hugry and craving food-maybe just TOTM?
 
Just a quick question for Snobby, sorry for using your thread CC.

Is 172lb really your start weight or did you mean it to be your goal weight? Its just with your height you would already be under 25 BMI. Unless I've worked it out wrong!!
I have also just started Exante and feeling rough! Lets hope we feel better in a couple of days :)
