Hi there,
I'm 4 days in to the Optifast Intensive programme and looking for others to share the journey with.
I'm a mother of 4 girls, have a gorgeous grandson and a wonderful partner.
I have an autoimmune disease which effects my thyroid function; due to lower metabolism & lack of energy my weight has slowly crept up and I now need to do something smartly before it becomes an issue.

    Good luck in your journey - there is a NZ group if you want to join - someone might be on the same diet as you

    Um, I grew up in hamilton. does that count? I'm now in otago.

    I've done the optifast regime, I think I managed to do quite well for about five weeks, lost over five kilos, and then life threw a curve ball and things changed. i think it's a really good starter diet, but I have to confess I've lost five kilos in three weeks, just using a 1200 cal a day + eating exercise cals diet. Which is far less traumatic.

    I will still eat an optifast bar for breakfast or lunch though. :)
