Hi all.
First time poster.
Did lighter life two summers ago. lost 7 stone in around 4/5 months. Kept it of for about 6 months and then it crept back on. Or at least half of it did. I have been suffering from depression for over a year, and this sapped/zapped my willpower and I basically comfort ate myself fatter.
This is the end of it though.
My life is on a much more even keel and I feel able to take on the challenge.
Opted for Exante as I know the theory, which is all you pay LL so much for. Had my last proper meal on Sunday, and started Exante Monday morning. Pretty sure I'm in ketosis already, but have ordered some pee sticks to be sure.
Milkshakes are ok, am going to start having a bar a day from Friday onwards.
Challenge I'm having is telling people. I was open about LL. But admitting to people I'm doing it again feels a bit like defeat...
Anyways, my glycogen seems to have burned off quickly. On LL I lost an amazing 18lbs in week one. Apparently that's not so rare for us chaps....
Aiming to lose at least three stones, but do want to keep losing after I start eating chewable hot food again!
So, I thought I'd find a forum to post on,
to help me maintain focus. Seems to be mainly ladies on here....hopefully you'll still make me welcome!
