Honestly this thread is helping me to get on with the life style change I need to embrace...actually we. We are both over weight right now, something new for both of us.
The diet, which will probably be South Beach is just to kick start the weight loss. It is a diet that takes it off around your waist first, life style changes will follow.
We have started walking a mile to 2 miles everyday and/or doing a yoga session.
What is helpful about this thread to me is...
1. The light hearted bantering which develops supportive friendships...and please anyone reading this thread this is not an exclusive banter...please join in.
2. And reading the honest admissions of those of us who are still not quite taking the whole weight loss thing seriously. It lets me know that I am not the only one who is procrastinating. Each day the motivation is growing.
Bright you have lost 15 lbs already and are sticking to your diet and are inspiring me to do the same (even if you do eat vomit-inducing fungus). Besides I can't let you look that much better...I'm sort of competitive.
20-30 lbs is my goal...more than that and I am worried about wrinkles...fat keeps wrinkles from showing cause they are all sort of poofed out. Don't want to lose too much. Sink, sag, and flap is not for me.
