New guy on the block - likely to be arround awhile

Hi Tyke, i've just started too but feeling quite positive so far. Unfortunately with 4 kids and a hubby that doesn't really do the weight loss thing I can't go mad with throwing food out but where I am going to have something that I know they'll eat i'll just serve that for them.

Good luck for your quest, I really have to do this now...friend of mine died recently at the age of 30...purely because of his weight.....it's really shook me up and made me realise what the consequences would be of carrying on the way I was going. Although I wasn't as obese as him I felt that if I carried on the way I was going i would be somewhere down the line in the same situation....was the jolt that I needed.

Take care. x

good luck to you both

Hi Tyke

Was just wondering how you were getting on with the bluey's and eating etc. I know you have the goal of a pound a week...how is it going?

Hope to hear from you soon for an update.

Thanks Terrie

For me the tipping point was how my body was handling sugar - in January 09 I had a blood suger level below target and below average but in the last 18 months the way my body handled sugar has deteriorated so I knew it was time to start.

Keep it up

Hi Pearl

Good to hear from you. In two weeks I've lost 11lbs so I'm feeling pretty good so far. Go on holiday tomorrow so get the feeling that this will be the real test.

Cheers

Tyke

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Well done and enjoy your holiday..will be a great test but if you can do it you can do anything!!!

Let us know how you get on...

enjoy the holiday, don't worry to much about taking the tablets but do try and pick healthy low fat options. You have proven that the tablets work for you so you will have no problems after the holiday getting back to a \"normal\" day to day routine.

Well done Tyke, seems like me and you are about the same, lost 10lb in 11 days so far and I'm also on holiday tomorrow....fingers crossed we don't go too mad eh?
