After I had my little girl last February (2012) I was at my biggest I had ever been and I decided enough was enough. I needed to do something about my weight issues. I had overindulged during pregnancy and I was frustrated by food and by eating when my due date approached! I had friends who had done VLCD (very low calorie diets) and had been successful so I decided to try Exante's Total Solution (VLCD plan) as my friend had also started the plan after having her little girl and told me that Exante were better for you, good value and tasted more creamier than other VLCD diets on the market.

It was hard to start off with, I will not lie, but after a while the hunger passes and you feel great. I had mostly the diet shakes and diet soups. With the shakes I blended them with crushed ice and they tasted like a smoothie. To see the scales drop each week was fantastic. After 3 months I added in exercise by joining a gym and added in a 400 calorie meal and after reaching a 5st weight loss in 7 months, I have kept the weight off. I didn't think this was possible because I had heard so many stories of people who are put off trying VLCD diets because they are told they will put the weight back on and more after their target is achieved BUT I've reintroduced food and I make better choices. I still would like to lose 2 more stone to reach my goal and I will be going back on Exante very shortly to shift the remaining weight. However, knowing I can maintain the weight loss gives me great confidence.
