So a friend of mine that I have been friends with for 26 years called me about 2 and a half months ago and asked me to join a "weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) challenge" with her on Wed nights for 10 weeks.
At the time, I said I couldnt do it, I was just running ragged toward the end of school and didnt have time to spare.
She lost 20 pounds in those 10 weeks and 6 extra in the few weeks since then.
She called me last week and said another challenge is starting, this time for 8 weeks. Since it is summer time and I have a little extra time and am doing well on FTS for 5 weeks now I thought it might give me motivation to do this. No plan to follow she said...
So we pull up and I said, so is this through community ed or something? How did you hear about this?"
She said she read it in the newspaper...then it came out. She said, "oh, she also sells Herbalife"
I said, "Oh NO!" I am NOT interested...furthermore been there done that!" Lost alot of money and not weight...if I did I gained it all back quickly plus.
Soooo...she said she is not pushy.
We go in and stand in line to weigh...I didnt see the HUGE table full of Herbalife bottles, shakes etc for sale yet. We start the meeting and she says you don't have to buy Herbalife but you will LOSE ALOT MORE if you do. I told her I gave up sugar 5 weeks ago. Her comment was "oh you can't do that, you need sugar for energy!" I then told her that I have more energy than I have had in years. She looked soooo confused.
Anyway, she started her schpeel and I sat patiently, 95% of the women did NOT buy her products. So I met new friends and will see what happens, friendly competition won't hurt me...right? Sandy ???

Maybe you can show some people the 'Right' way to lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) hehe. ;D
-
Amen! ...... ;D

You can be their shining example... preach what you know to be true... take the book with you next time... highlight some key parts so you can show them easily. Example is the most convincing force.... let you weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) start conversations. Who knows maybe YOU can start a friendly weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) competition in your own home with a huge table filled with Doug's books!
Emphasize how EASY this plan is... everybody is busy and wants life to be easier. Have fun!!

Good for you Sandy! The FTS program is the best program and really makes sense what Doug said in the book! Have a great day!

Ugh...Ugh...Ugh..it was nice of you to set through her talk. Too bad you didn't have a few dozen books and some Doug videos with you to spread the real word. :)

I was down -3.6 at the first weeks weigh in there.... :D
-
Without Herbalife! ::)
-
I cannot imagine...and last night she was pushing it again.
Saying you cannot lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) without it...UM, I was down 3.6 in a week!
I am living proof and proud of it!
I will do this with my friend. To support and be nice to her. But I WILL NOT buy in to this....Herbalife!
One protein bar has my days worth of carbs... :o
