  • Hi Again Everyone !!!

    You know the old saying "Been there.. done that"? ... That would be me. TWICE. IN 1999/2000 was my best years. I lost 35lbs. I remember thinking at the time that 172 was so horrible of a height at 5'4". Yes, it was... however, my 185lbs is so much worst. (I guess that you figured out that I have not grown any taller though).

    I find my willpower goes away when I lack the support. My mother lives with my family and she does the majority of the cooking in the house, so I try to eat around what everyone else is having not to make extra work. That leads to a VERY dull menu. I guess in a nutshell what I'm trying to say is HELP !!! the board was extremly helpful in my success the first time, but I really didn't get in with them the second time and that didn't work so well.

    I would like to be down to at least 160lbs by Christmas time. My kids and my grandchildren will be here and I would love a family photo, but not with me looking like this. I may be a grandmother of 3 at 43, but I dont' want to look like the stoybook verison of old and plump.

    Thanks for listening.....

    Re: Hi Again Everyone !!!

    Welcome back Marty, nice to meet you. I decided soon after I started that I would have to stay at ADBB to be held accountable for my actions. You better stay with us this time. This board helps me to stay focused, without it who knows where I would be. I totally understand your support theory, that is why I come here as often as possible. I gain willpower everyday from the great posts I read here. You can do the same. Post often so everyone can get to know you. Good luck dear, you will be looking super for that christmas family portrait, just hang with us, ttyl, brady

            Hey there Marty... welcome back! Nice to have you with us again. This is the absolute right place for support and motivation!

            Can you try to slip into the kitchen behind your mother's back (j/k ) and make a few of your own recipes? There are so many good ones on this board and on Linda's site:
            http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/index.html


            If you stick with the programme again, you'll never get to being (in your words) "the storybook version of old and plump".

            Happy losing!
