  • Back - Fatter that ever!!

    Hi there,

    It actually took me a while to gather the courage to come back … well, here I am – AGAIN!!!

    The short version of my “fat life”: I had my first son and gained 30 kg’s. Lost about 20kg’s and 8 years later had my second son and also gained 30 kg’s.

    In desperation (and after numerous unsuccessful diet attempts) I’ve started on the Atkins diet and joined ADBB. Success at last!! It went very well – lost 12kg. Then I had this stupid idea that I can do this on my own – what a joke!!!!!

    I’ve also quit my job about 6 months ago to become a stay-at-home mom, and the fridge has been attacking me ever since (LOL).

    Since I left my ADBB family in February 2006, the lost 12 kg’s found their way home and brought a few friends with!!!

    So, to come to the most logic conclusion – no woman (man) is an island!!! You need encouragement and people around you (even if it is on the net).

    OK, so I’m back and even more determined to loose my fat self and become the person I am meant to be. I know this is not an overnight solution, but a change for life.

    I have to loose this weigh, because my body cannot keep up anymore (pains in my legs, lower back, feet, etc). My goal is to be thin before I turn 40. It gives me 3 ½ years, but hopefully I will reach goal weight before then.

    Whish me luck, lots of advice and encouragement!

    Here I Go!!!



    PS: My commitments:

    - To exercise 4 times a week.

    - To drink at least 2l+ water a day

    - To keep a weekly journal to document my progress

              Welcome back to the plan! I think we are all where or are in the same boat! I'm on day 5 of the induction and everything is going OK. I've not weighed or measured and won't until the 14th day or there abouts.
              Starting weight: 310 Current weight: 292 Goal weight: 220

                Thank you all for welcoming me back. I am a little frustrated at this stage, because I could not start induction yet.

                It was my son's 11th birthday. Family and friends came over for a braai (BBQ) - 24 people in my house . But that was not the problem .... I think you all know - CAKE!!!!

                I am drinking lots of water and sticking to veggies and salads for the day. I am officially starting induction tomorrow, o, yes, and my journal too!!
                Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!!

                    Well, I think it's great that you are coming back to the things that worked for you - especially ADBB! I had to think back to what worked the first time and try to recreate that - and also just be ready - and things have worked out so far!
