in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone - I'm Leesa and my goal is to lose 84lbs over the next 111 days. I know, I know, lofty goal - however I was inspired by MTV's - I Used to Be Fat - documentary so......I's aiming very high.

I'm going to be following Dr. Ian's Extreme Fat Smash Diet.
I start on 1/10/11. I'd really like for some folks to join in with me. I promise to log in daily - I'm going to download this site onto my "droid" phone. :smile: Any takers?.....

    Hi there - I just googled Dr. Ian Smith and found this interesting site:

    http://www.50millionpounds.com/pdf/50MMPoundChallenge.pdf


    A lot of the suggested meal options are what I already eat. I have already lost 45lbs, but I'd love join in for encouragement and accountability!

    YAAAAY!!! Let's start on Monday - 1/10/11 :bigsmile:
    So Excited!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

    The diet i'll be following is " Extreme Fat Smash Diet" - Dr. Ian Smith
    I bought my book last year @ Books A Million - it was like $12 or $13 bucks
    you can also check out the reviews on amazon.com - the plan works - the food is inexpensive - and after about the first 3 days my body adjusted and I really wasn't hungry or focusing on the food i.e. "when is my next meal?" I did this diet last year and lost weight - unfortunatley I just stopped and stopped working out so I didnt reach my goal.

    I'm so happy ya'll are in!!
    See you on Monday:smile:

    I would like to join ya'll. I have lost 4 lbs since last week and I 50 lbs to go. I have post pregnancy weight that I need to loose (baby is 4 months). It's seems like I get stuck at a certain weight for a while and I get discouraged, so I need people to keep me from giving up.

    Goal date 9/2/11
    Starting weight: 184
    Goal weight: 130 (never weighed that in my life!)

    This sounds great. I'm not going to do the specific diet, just count my calories, if that's ok. I also need to lose just about the same amount of weight and have been motivated by the show "I used t be fat!" Good Luck everyone.
