Saraphema's Diary

Hello All! **As this a diary, this will probably be a stream of consciousness. My apologies in advance.**

I started the online program on 2/9 in the evening but my official start date was 2/10. Monday night I weighed 181lbs and this morning 2/14 I weighed 175lbs!! While this is amazing and awesome I do have some concerns with losing weight so fast such as loose skin, hair loss, etc. Of course the "proper" way to lose weight is eating a correctly portioned diet with the essential food groups (took a nutrition class in college), but it's not motivating at all when you don't see immediate results. And quite frankly, I just needed a hard push in the right direction. So far I'm thrilled. I would say Week 1 will end in huge success!

The first day was KILLER. I was absolutely starving and grumpy. Every day since then I have just been simply hungry.

Also, I messaged my personal consultant about altering my goal. I'm 5'1'' so of course it would make sense for them to put me at 104lbs. However, I felt that was a ridiculous goal for only 90 days.

Basically, I was told that I had to have my personal doctor email them in order to change my goal. So as soon as I can remember, I will have that done. I think 140 would be perfect in that amount of time and then I can go through the refeeding program and just be healthy. I am planning to be healthy for the rest of my life here. Gone are the days of fast food and excessive amounts of alcohol. I really do want to live a lifestyle I am proud of. I want to feel good again and not so tired and lazy.

Thanks for tuning in.

Hi Sara

Hopefully you will feel stabilized in a day or 2. Going through all the withdrawals and toxins leaving your body could make you anxious. it is always scary when we get the goal numbers at the start of the journey and wonder how are we going to make to there, but as you do start to loose the weight, you will find you do have more fat in places that may need to go. where ever you loose the weight at the end is the first place it will come back to.

I thought the program goes for 6 months ?? Not three. It took 16 kg's before it even started to become obvious that I was shrinking due to the fact we loose the internal fat surrounding our organs first !

All the best and keep us stationed into your journey

Hi Jessy, I am doing the online program as I am in the USA and it's done in 3 month increments. At the end of the 90 days if you don't hit your goal then you have to pay for another 3 months. I figured they didn't give me a reasonable goal so I would pay for the next three months.

I have a dumb question but how do you edit your signature at the bottom of the post? I made a ticker but I cannot find where my signature is.

Just kidding, I figured it out!

Click into User CP , you find it at the top of the page on the right and it gives you a range of edit functions. This is where your ticker would of been created

hi Sara...in Australia we are told it is possible to lose 88lb (40kg) in 6 months, our contract goes for that long, and then another 3 months can be bought if necessary. It can be unbelievable when we get our goal range, as Jesse said, I was told I would be between 141 and 149. I laughed at them. But I lost the 79lb in 5 months. My hair thinned right at the end, but certainly came back during maintenance. I also took hair, nail and skin supplement to help. We all end up with a bit of lose skin, but even people who lose more slowly on other programs have that issue. (I hope all my lb weights are right LOL - we use kg here!)

sounds like your detox is over then, and it does take a little while before the hungries settle. Enjoy the rest of the program, it is quite amazing to watch ourselves shrink and shrink

Hi Seraphema, i am still not sure how long my contract is for either i will ask at my one month meeting but im just getting through each day as it comes and celebrating each loss as they come for now. I bet you are so stoked with 6 lbs loss well done thats really great and after only 4 days on plan amazing! Well done and enjoy the loss. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon took me about a week myself. detox is miserable😬.

Great job!!! I'm so proud of you and I'm so excited for you! Losing weight, even if it's a little faster is better than remaining over weight. And loose skin can be toned over time. I'm extremely happy with my results and lose skin is minimal. Plus your very young so your skin will tone up quicker. Keep up the great work!!!!
