Hello Everyone...
i spent most of last night reading here and researching online for Slim & Save, i had some success last year with Exante, but struggled as the only shake i could do was the banana.
ive tried cambridge also, but the woman i bought them off was really overweight anyway and a bit weird. the packs were over priced and not that amazing really. i felt it lacked the extra financial worth.
so, ive lost about 10 pounds in the last few months on my own... just calorie counting and going to the gym, but the last couple of weeks have been really tough. ive felt pretty low, gym hasnt been cutting it and the constant obsession over calories and food has left me hungry and in danger of binging. Not good.
Realistically i have about 60-70 pounds to lose, pretty scary. People never believe i have that to lose as im tall and i dress well for my size, but i do. i'm tired of having to dress to flatter my size rather than to portray my personality and sense of style. i have a corporate job, and in order to seriously consider getting further it just wont happen if im fat. sad but true. You never see fat women get further in my industry.
Not only that, im worried for my health. My knees hurt constantly, my back aches and im tired all the time.
ive been really successful in the past with low carb diets but the constantly having to think about food irritates me, its just too difficult to do on the road. Hence my being here....
ive ordered some samples, got some banana exante shakes to use up aswell, and intend to start on Monday, reason being its my birthday on Friday and my family have booked 2 meals out. Thats the last food centric celebrations i have until Christmas. Everyones birthdays are out of the way!
Ive also signed up to run the race for life on July 1st (my wedding anniversary, sorry hubby!) and need to make sure i can do the race in a decent time.
as you can see in my ticker, we go to Mexico for 2 weeks on 30th September, and we have great holidays every year, photos of which get left in a folder somewhere on the laptop, or on the camera because im always too ashamed of how i look to post them anywhere.
so this is it, im going to do it, whole hog for 23 weeks. Whats 6 months between friends?
