Diet and Fitness Buddies Community Group
A group to help us on diets support eachother.
Happy New Year's girls!
Let's try our best to stay focused and keep motivated. We can do this. We've already done it.... and then life happens and we gain some back.
Let's post daily so that we are held accountable for our actions and will hopefully get the scolding and/or encouragement from eachother to keep going.
Good luck.

@shy-- congratulations dear, u r doing gr8........... keep it up, and thanks for ur wishes :)
@simba-- where are u dear?
I knew I was having it for dinner so I made all the necessary adjustments for it throughout the day. I guess it helped.
I dropped 1.5 lbs overnight! I'm so excited.... this is just the motivation I need to keep going.
Current weight; 151.5
Goal weight; 140.0
11.5 lbs to go!!!!
@Simba: Where are you? Pop in to say 'hi'. It doesn't matter if you're not on a routine to lose right now... who cares. Just let us know that you're fine :)
@Raymh: Keep it up and the weight will come off. Don't eat poha today. Let your weight fall into the 70's then go ahead and treat yourself.
lets see what happens tomorrow
i am 80.6 kgs (177.7 pounds) today
i hope ur programme is working well shy
and simba, drop in smtime
I'll bet that tomorrow you'll be at 79.something!
That's unbelievable.
I'm the same today..... totally my fault. I over ate dinner last night. I had made one of my favourites and I just couldn't stop... I kept saying just one more bite.
oh well... I enjoyed it and at least I didn't gain any weight. So that's a plus for me.
Raymh, how does your hubby feel about your weight loss? Do let us know!
I hope to be back on track today and, hopefully, the scales will tip in my favour. I don't want to 'play' around with the numbers again. lol

17 th january 2014-- i am 79.9 kgs today (176.2 lbs)
and as what my hubby feels I CANT TELL, AS no one has noticed my wt loss, i am just amazes that even after losing 10 kgs, no one is paying any attention
the reason probably is that i am too obese that 10 kg loss has failed to show that much difference and i need to lose 10 kgs more in order to get noticed
another reason may be that i am losing slowly and people do see me daily so they get used to see me and don't notice change
anyways i will keep doing my efforts
You did it, Raymh! I'm so proud of you!!!!
Soon you'll be at your goal weight!
When is your brother's wedding? How many more weeks/months do you have to lose the most weight you can?? You will stun everyone..... be sure of that!!!
Hey. Don't sweat it..... about hubby not noticing. It happens. Then one day (soon) he'll look at you a different way.
The same thing happened to me. I'm not sure if you remember when I shared my story???? Anyways... the only reason my DH actually knew I was losing weight was because I would tell him every morning if I lost and how much I lost. I hadn't really bought any new clothes as I was waiting to lose more weight.
I was only one month into my new lifestyle and I could see and feel the difference in me.... I'm sure hubby did too. And I was so excited to go to my Mom's house for a dinner party and for everyone to notice! Well.... no one noticed. None of my family members. Not a one.
The only person who said anything was a close family friend. She said that it looks like I've lost some weight. I just smiled at her. My family was clueless and didn't even hear what she said!
DH was waiting for me to say something to my mom. He knew I was excited for her to notice or for me to say something. But I never did.
I just kept losing the weight and no one said anything. They didn't notice?
DH was getting proud of me and was buying me new clothes.
I reached my goal weight just before my vacation last year in mid-February. I hadn't seen my family for about three weeks at that point. Then I went on vacation and had a wonderful time with my new body and new image.
When I came back, my sister noticed and said something to the effect of: Wow. I heard that people go away on vacation and gain weight and here you lost a lot of weight! It seemed that everyone realized then.
I explained that I was already this weight long before I left for the vacation (since I had gained some on the vacation) and that I was waiting for them to notice! They couldn't believe it.
Sometimes our loved ones have to look at us in a different light to realize and appreciate what we've accomplished.
He will notice you, Raymh. Especially when you look dead gorgeous at your brother's wedding and people will be giving you compliments! That will be his moment to realize. Unless, of course, he gets hit on the head and realizes sooner than that?
Planning on hitting hit soon???
My update: I'm the same today.... crazy choices, once again, for dinner.
18th january 2014-- 79.6 kgs (175.5 pounds)
@ shy-- thanku so much for sharing your story :)
Today i was wearing a very old nighty (maxy) which i had stopped wearing as i looked like a sack filled with potatoes in it, today this maxy has become lose for me and i was wearing it, and for d first time my husband REALLY noticed and said to me-- you have really lost wt and u r looking slimmer
Thank god he noticed (though i too tell him daily and he knows that i hv lost 11 kgs, but smhow he was unable to see it, but today as he was able to clearly remember and spot d difference, he appreciated it :)
we will keep up our efforts shy
I'm glad that he noticed! I think it's hard to notice the day to day..... He obviously needed something like what happened to you to jolt his memory! Now he sees it.... now he'll be your biggest champion!
Look at that scale go! Wow. You're losing every day..... that's crazy fantastic! You are exactly where I was when I realized that I have to do something about the weight i gained. I just started to slowly lose it and keep it off. I enjoyed the 10 lbs or so that I lost and was comfortable for a while. Then I had a breakthrough moment and decided to lose more! That's when I joined this group.
Update: I dropped one pound overnight! Yippee.... yahoo......
New weight: 150.5 lbs
Goal weight: 140.0 lbs
10.5 lbs to go to get there!
i am 174.4 lbs (79.1 kg) today
BTW.... I'm getting a little worried about you. Is it safe to lose this much weight per day? You are losing so much per week.... I think I read somewhere that losing 1 or 2 pounds per week is healthy. Of course, there are going to be times when there is more weight lost and times when there is no weight lost.
Just be careful and make sure you are eating healthy and giving your body what it needs.
I'm the same today.... 150.5 lbs. I consider myself lucky because I ate chocolates and cookies yesterday... throughout the day.....
Yummy.... they were good and I don't regret eating them at all! DD1 made the cookies and I had to taste them.... right???
Raymh.... you didn't tell us when your brother's wedding is.
TOM... need I say more?
lol
I've got serious water retention.
