new to buddy slim

I have been a member of another (sort of) similar website but have never been as serious as I am today. I found this website and have decided to restart everything with a clean sweep……fresh start.   I have to lose this weight.  When I look at myself I am completely disgusted!  I am so out of shape and my entire family needs to learn better eating habits.  My husband has a major sweet tooth, and so do my step kids and diabetes is coming at my husband and I both from all ends. 

I tried the Atkins diet a few years ago and its really not my thing.  I have thought about starting weight watchers but first I am just trying the-eat healthier, exercise, and drink lots of water thing……hopefully this will help give me, at least a jump start….ActuallyI think I am going to do the WW deal as well……I think this will help keep me on a strict guideline.  I will start the WW counting on Sunday….so I can use the rest of the week to learn a little more about ww.

I only had two 24 oz bottles of water yesterday, my goal for this week is to have three bottles a day.  I am starting my goals out small this week and will increase them gradually.  My goal for the first two weeks is to exercise at least three days a week, drink lots of h20 and healthier foods.

 I have decided to reward myself after each long-term goal met.  My long-term goals being pounds lost.  My main goal is to lose 50 lbs (of course I want to lose more, but this is my “long-term starting goal”.    SO…..here’s the deal…………

  • 10lbs lost—–new makeup
  • 20lbs lost—–pedicure
  • 30lbs lost—–a few new clothing items

 OK….so that’s all the rewards I wanna do for now, and hey….I may change it around a lil…who knows.  Well, I’m gonna go figure all this buddyslim stuff out since I am completely new to it………however it really is ALOT like myspace so I should catch on okay.

    Let me be the first to welcome you to buddyslim! There are some great ppl here. I decided to start my weight loss again yesterday so I came back to this site because it helped to motivate and inspire me. You seem to have a pretty good plan laid out. You can do it!

    It’s like listening to myself!! I do the exact same thing (rewards like manicures,pedicures etc)actually I do them anyways whether I lose or not(who am I kidding!!)Best of luck to you I just started this system myself and as a WW veteran let me offer you some advice..Go with your instinct to re-join WW..Accountability is EVERYTHING-even if you ditch the meetings cuz let’s face it they can be pretty BRUTAL! Good luck!
