Hi Everyone
« on: February 23, 2011, 03:09:35 PM »
Hi Everyone.
It has been 3 weeks on the diet.  I have lost 6lbs. I would like to be 64lbs lighter. I can't believe how good  I feel.  I still have head aches but Tylenol has no carbs!  I  saw Doug one day on the 700 Club, I knew what he was saying was true but never gave it much thought.  I was always told as a child that I was big boned...lol.. Now that I look back on childhood pictures I was not heavy at all.  A habit of finishing everything on your plate or no dessert continued into adulthood plus other bad habits.  It wasn't until I hooked back up  with a wonderful highschool friend(ShihTzuMom1) via facebook, that I started to consider taking this diet(lifestyle) seriously. Seeing her success just blew me away.  So with her encouragement and support, here I am!
 My husband is very supportive and follows the diet with me, to a point, extended family..well not to supportive.
I'm looking forward to a new me in the near future.

Welcome to the party TLC58 :) ShihTzuMom is a good friend to hold your hand through the beginning stages of your lifestyle change. Try and get the thought process of "diet" out of your head. This is a permanent lifestyle change for you. Diet are temporary...that's why they fail.

Have Fun, Eat Great, lose weight!
