I'm new to this forum and I'm also (re)starting tomorrow.
I did try this diet over a year ago but I wasn't very motivated and a lot of other things got in between. But this time I'm very hopeful, because there's a lot of things in my life going on at the moment that give me the motivation I need.
All in all I want to loose about 30 pounds (is that what lb stands for? I'm not sure, cause English is not my first language...), and I hope I'll be able to reach that goal in about 8 weeks, just to be realistic.
I'm not very big, about 160 pounds. I'm not sure because I didn't have the courage to step up on the scale, I could weigh much more or even a little less, but I doubt that.
The main problem that I've had with my weight since I was a teenager is that I, for some reason, am just not able to get rid of those last excessive kilos (about 16 pounds, I would guess)! Maybe it doesn't sound like such a big problem, but it has in fact affected my life in different ways, especially when hanging out with my friends, socializing etc. Let's just say that my self esteem is not, or has never been, very high. So, this is my last resort
So, what do you think? My counselor says a week of SS is enough and that I should go over to the combined (what do you call that here?) after that, but I'm not sure. Do you think I should go on if I feel that I'm able to?
Also, what's this "porridge" that you all talk about? I would love to try that!
I'm really really hopeful this time, it's gonna work!
All the best/ Jennifer
