I am 51 and live in Sydney, Australia. I would like to lose 40 – 50 kg to get to my ideal weight. I have tried so many diets and have lost weight and put it on again and more. I am determined to follow the 8 week Blood Sugar Diet starting today. I have read the entire book and have also bought the recipe book. It looks very do-able. I do not have diabetes but am doing this to lose weight and for my health. I look forward to reading posts on the Forum to see how others are doing.
Day One has gone OK – I went over the calories today to 900 instead of 800 (but that is OK – good start). I have resisted temptations and have drunk a lot of water as it has been so hot in Sydney today. I completed a Curves session this morning (305 calories).
I am still on summer school holidays (I am a teacher) so I have time for planning my meals. I think it should be OK once I go back to work – I find it easier to diet when I am busy and don’t have time for snacking. My only obstacles are two birthday parties in January.
Good luck to all January Newbies. I look forward to sharing my progress over the next weeks.
