Wink Anybody Want A Buddy!!!

Hello out there!!!

I have been on the programme 11 days and I have my struggles and decided to join a forum to help me out. I would love a Buddy or a few to chat with and to be accountable too.

I started the programme at 99.1kg....Goal is 59-62.
My first week I lost 20.5cm, 9cm around my waist alone...5 from my hips!!

However I love food, love to eat it, love to cook it for myself and others!! I need to create different focuses in my life right now. I do have a blog, but it is really just a way of journalling for me.

I would love the support and empathy of those doing this with me!!

Yours Sincerely Miss Liss XXOO

Hey Miss Liss, I will be your buddy. We all need as much support as we can get. I am just finishing up my 3rd week and have struggled along but now I am starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it and am in the routine. It's a nice feeling after such a rough start. I had my fair share of nausea and stuff but it's the emotional rollercoaster that was the killer for me.

I started at 113.6kgs!!!! Uggh, still can't believe that but I will never have to be that again so it's all good.

Hey, great result in your first week - are you waiting for the monthly weigh-in? Can't wait to hear how you go. I am weighing in weekly officially (as in this is when I change my ticker) but I was checking every day and it wasn't helping me (I have PCOS so this is making my weight loss slower than I would like) so I recently surrendered the scales to my partner who has hidden them away for now. It's really been the best thing I have done so far - aaahh the release of all that pressure!

Look forward to sharing this journey with you mate.

Indy xx

Hi there MissLiss,

Welcome to the forum, If it freinds and support you are chasing than you are in the right place. Since being on here myself I have made bonds with some fantastic caring people. The support is overwhelming.

Stay tuned as it will keep you on the straight and narrow, and we would all love to see how you go on your journey.

are you weighing in 4 weeks or weekly?

I'm a daily because the ups dont bother me at all. if it does I stay off them for a couple of days or two.

cant wait to follow your journey

xo

Hi MissLiss..

Wow wat a fantastic result so far you should be very proud. I officially started my program today but i have been on the forum having a look around for almost a month now and the one thing you will find here is definatly support..

We are all here for the same thing and sometimes you need to talk to someone that understands what you are going through and trust me they will help you if not make you push through .

Looking forward to seeing you progress, stay strong.

WF

Thank you all so much!!! It is so reassuring to have the support of people who can truly empathise!! I will definately be keeping you all up to date.

I measured this week and i have lost another 9cm, And though I am officially weighing myself monthly I cannot help do it at least monthly. Actually I ahd my husband hide the scales so I am not doing it everyday.
I can however feel the difference in my clothes again this week. I fell lighter and more committed today to stick to the programme.

thanks for the boost of confidence and I want you to know I am here to support you when you need it. Your successes are inspiring and I thank you for your time!!!

Much love MissLiss XXOO

Hey Yummy Mummy

It only took a few days, I think I did the test on a friday and the programme was in by the tuesday. I didn't start until the next week though. They are pretty quick to get it to you. I actually pick ed mine up from them. it was my fault that it took as long as it did as I kept missing their calls!!
Good luck and if I can do this...anybody can!!! I have been anti the word diet and anything that tells me what to eat...kind of my rebellion against the world.
I think my loss was so significant because the few weeks before I ahd been eating up a storm. I like to think of myself as a masterchef and I love myself and others through food. So lots of big changes for me.

look forward to keeping in touch with you all. I have to say I woke up today and actually can see the difference in my body. I have a pair of jeans I usually paint onto my body and I got them out of the dryer and they just zipped up, no need to hold in the fat so i don't pinch it in the zip!!!!

Lots of love and well wishes to you all. Missliss XXOO

Hey Zodie

I am excited for you, I was told once I got over the first 3-4 days I would be fine...it was the first two weeks I struggled. But I am now into my fourth week and I sat with my family tonight and because I attended the funeral today of a young friends daughter I didn't eat lunch till late so when my kids were aeating at 5 I had nothing and I thought about it and I really wasn't hungry. I felt the first two weeks with my tummy grumbling something shocking.

So stick with it I am feeling amazing!!!

Miss Liss XXOO
