Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 You can do this...and keep in mind, just because your dh looks good on the outside, the bad stuff will catch up to his insides. So...he can always share in your quest for better health. good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 , I see that you have lost about 20 lbs. If you don't mind, could you tell me how long you have been on SBD/WOE before you lost that must weight (19 lbs)? My first goal is to lose 25 lbs. And, my second goal is to lose 27 lbs. How long were you on Phase 1? Did you incorporate Phase 1-1/2. I were just wondering how long it would take me to lose 25 lbs. I know that each person is different and will lose differently. I am on Phase 1, Day 5 and have lost 5 lbs. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Carmella-- You could be setting yourself up for failure if you judge your weightloss by what others have achieved. We all lose at our own rate and if you lose slower than someone else you may become discouraged. Don't just go by the scale. Take your measurements from time to time...they are often better indicators of loss then the scale. Carol S > , I see that you have lost about 20 lbs.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 5 foot 6 1/2 " - if I stretch. BTW my scales are probably 5lb light compared to my doctor's but I use my scales to keep track. I'm probably more like 150lb " real " weight. I'm also 55 years old and can stand a slimmer, more toned frame. > , how tall are you that you want to be at 140 lbs?
