Hello All
I started Exante TS after weeks of weighing up the pros and cons of numerous diets.
I lurked on here and read your highs and lows, and it really spurred me on to take the challenge.
So i ordered a variety pack, because for me the taste of food is everything. And i started on Monday 21/11/2011.
The first product i tried and had for breakfast was a toffee nut raisin bar, and as soon as i took the first bite i thought i'm going to fail at this and then thought thank goodness i only ordered the variety pack. Lunch was vanilla shake - which i quite enjoyed and dinner was mushroom soup, again I enjoyed. Copius amounts of water (well 2 litres but that is a massive jump for me) and day 1 was done and dusted.
Day 2 choc orange bar for breakfast (not so bad), Strawberry shake for lunch (yum). Then I decided to try the tomato and basil soup…hmm the jury is till out on that one as I loaded it with quite a bit of tabasco. Day 2 complete
Day 3 - OMG - Cravings Cravings Cravings, breakfast toffee nut raisin bar again - which I wolfed down because I was so hungry. Lunch a banana shake (bit disappointed but maybe this is because I was comparing it to a McDonald's Banana Milkshake - my ex favourite!). Dinner Thai Chicken Soup (ok). But DD1 was up during the night with a temperature and I swear that Family Circle tub of biscuits was calling my name - I am so surprised that I didn't give in and I have to credit my resiliance to this forum and the success stories that I've been reading - it can be done.
Day 4 started to feel more energetic, walked up the escalators, but feeling a tad guilty for not incorporating any excercise as recommended by Exante (little steps)
I was so loooking forward to my cereal bar! Chocolate Orange again.
Lunch was a Strawberry shake - I have yet to try the chocolate because I'm not a big chocolate lover but may try it hot as suggested.
And day 4 I had my first Coke Zero!
Dinner - Vegetable soup. So having tried all the soups, i think mushroom and vegetable are my favourite.
So I'd like to join you on this journey if I may, oh and I've just purchased my bumper pack.

I enjoyed reading how you're doing so far - you seem like you're coping brilliantly. You're a stronger person than i am when it came to the biscuits, i can't have anything yummy in the house at the moment! I have two children, ages 1 and 3 and anything they have that's like a 'treat' is bought on demand, so there's no temptation!
