Hi,
My name is Jan and I live on the west coast of the South Island New Zealand. In a place called Hokitika .
I have had problems with my weight from the age of about 16 . Have been on lots of diets. But seem to but the weight back on . and more once I have stop dieting.
Had to go on IUI programme to have our children. After 6 attempts got pegency with twins but lot them at 19 weeks. Then went back and got pegency with 1 baby and she was born at 36 weeks.Then she was 9 months old was told that we could return to the clinic and try for more babies. They told us that the drugs had charged and it would take us 18 months before we got pegency.But got pegency on 1st treatment with 6 babies. Lost one at 7 weeks. and then reduced the pegency at 12 weeks to two. If I didn't I would die At 30 weeks had twin boys.
Our children are now 14 and 12 , 12 .
I think that going on the IUI programme has not helped my weight .
But I heard about this eating programme about a month ago. Could not wait to get to a clinic . Read lots of things about it on the internet and knew it was the one for me.
Had my bloods done before getting to the clinic so that I could walk in and get my eating programme.
Started it three days ago don't feel hungry and have already lost 4.8kgs.
I am so please with myself.
Thanks jan

Welcome to the forums Jan,
Sounds like you have been through a lot over the years... so glad you were successful with the pregnancies, i know people who have tried for years unsuccessfully.
This program rocks, so all the best with your journey, you have made such great progress so far so keep it up

Welcome, Jan. There must have been a lot of sadness associated with your attempts to become pregnant. So pleased to see you now have three almost grown up children as a result.

Hi,
Everyone I've been on the program for 6 weeks today . Just weighted myself and have lost a total of 14.9 kgs that is 32.78 Lbs. i am very please with that . I don't feel hungy at all . I think I am doing Ok . Haven't been to a clinic seen day 10 due to the Christchurch earthquake. Hope to get over there in the next couple of weeks. Once they get somewhere for another clinic. Please tell me if I am doing Ok . As I don't really no.

Hi Jan,

Good to hear from you again.

Everyone I've been on the program for 6 weeks today . Just weighted myself and have lost a total of 14.9 kgs that is 32.78 Lbs. i am very please with that . I don't feel hungy at all . I think I am doing Ok

I think you are right, Jan - you sound pleased, and you have shed nearly 15kgs in just 6 weeks.... Sounds bloody good to me

By the way, I moved your recent post out of the Discussion Forum to this thread. It is more "part of your journey", so it is good to keep it all together. It might be time for you start a Diary (and we can move this to become your Diary if you wish - just ask....)

PS In case you weren't able to find this thread of yours, please understand that it had moved to Page 2 of the "New Members" forum. All new replies "push" a thread to the top of the pile - others that aren't replied to, then drift onto page 2, or 3, or ......

Anyway, if we do make this your Diary, it will then move to New Diaries - things move slower there, and it will stay on Page 1 for longer (making it easier to find).

Hi soh
Congratulations on starting the program as that was the hardest step for me. It has been well worth it. I didn't think that I could ever get even close to my goal weight, but I did!! I lost 30kg in total. It is consistent weight loss every week as long as you don't deviate in any way. Good luck with it all.
