Hi Everyone!

I found the forum a few days ago and have spent a lot of time reading posts and gaining loads of new and exciting info - thank you!

Well I'm Sarah, and as my username says - I'm on a journey to getting healthy and living a kick butt lifestyle. I'm 23, getting married November 2006, run my own small business, have a cat and find it hard to just get up and 'exercise'.

I started my journey during June this year, weighing at 137kgs, a big shock for me as I have chronic fatigue and the weight just seemed to work it's way on. I've finished week 20 on the Optifast plan (recommended and supervised by my doctor) and have lost a total of 34kgs, and couldnt be more happy and healthier!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Wow Sarah! That's amazing! I'm currently around your starting weight and although I have been plodding along for a couple of months, I haven't had great results as I tend to fall off the wagon every now and then and undo all of my good work. But I have hope that one day I will be skinny! Anyway, welcome aboard. The support here is great. Hope to see you around.

Hi Sarah, welcome!
You sound determined and you have a good reason to succeed.
I love your webpage.

We've found that recording our daily food intake on the True Stories board helps many of us drop the kilojoules. When I first started I had big issues with chocolate but now I just realize I'm only fooling myself if I sneak eat the stuff (plus I keep reminding myself of my reason I want to lose weight)
I've now also learned to eat slowly instead of wolfing my food down in 3 minutes like a hungry animal.
