Let's Do Lunch Community

I just ordered my book today.  I have tried many diets and have lost but gained it all back.  I have two teenagers and want them to have a healthy mom, and not suffer with the weight battle of loosing and gaining that I have faced.  I basically want to be a good role model for them.  I am excited to get started, and hope my success will encourage my husband to also join me as I change my eating habits.  I have never joined any type of support group in the past, I am so serious this time to change my life I am trying everything. 

TammyZ,

Welcome to LDL.  I think you've come to the right place to lose weight and get healthy, but I may be a little prejudiced!!  LDL has changed my life and my health and I wish everyone who struggles with weight and medical issues would try it.     

If you have any questions before your book arrives, don't hesitate to ask them.  I love that you want to get your kids involved in this healthy way of eating.  Try some of the recipes and read some of the success stories.  We're so glad to have you with us.

Pat,

Thanks, I really feel God has pushed me and now is my time.

Welcome TammyZ, it is great to have you!! I know that my family rebelled in the beginning because they wanted all of the junk food and they all were talking about how this was just another one of those diets  I put them through, but now they love all of the food and my husband told me last night that he didn't think he could stick to it in the beginning because he thought he would be hungry only eating meat once a day. But he said that he can see that he wants to eat like this for the rest of his life because he feels so great! There is hope for sure!! If my husband can say that, so can yours!

God bless,
Tina

Tina,

What a great testimony from your husband!  That should tell us all about how good and healthy LDL is!

HI Tammy,

Welcome!  I have also tried so many diets and thought I had actually found the key for a while but the voices outside my head got the better of me. As soon as I started to listen to other people I lost my way. I now know I need to listen to my body and my body is happy on this plan. I haven't received my book yet but by following the direction of the members on this site, you can begin to succeed. The support is fabulous!  I have only been on it for 5 days and am sure I am still missing some info but have managed to lose over 5 lbs already.  And my mood has lightened. I can feel the laughter coming more easily than before.

Your kids will be impacted by the good habits you exhibit; so bravo!  They learn so much more from what we do than what we say. Anything you need to  know - come to the boards. I had a lot of questions and they were answered very quickly and with love and support.

Congratulations on taking the first step.

Julie,

Thanks for the great idea to get started before the book arrives!  First night was a little hard but I am sure it will get easier.

My book should be coming this week, and I can actually say I can't wait.

Thanks again,
Tammy

Hi Tammy,
My book took exactly eight days to get to me.  I ordered it on May 21st.  Of course, it might not take yours that long since mine was over a holiday weekend.
Good luck.  I actually went to the message boards and got a lot of great information.  Although I wasn't 100% LDL til this morning, I actally did get for a few days before.  I am totally NOT hungry and when I went to work, it was actually lunch time and I hadn't even thought about what I could be munching on.  Typically I am having something at 9 am break, sooooooooooooo, I really think this "Skinny Town" road that I am on is gonna work!! 
I still have a lot of questions and I keep going back to the book or asking questions of the friends here on the message board and everyone is so great! 
I bought a new journal to jot down all the things I'm doing and eating on my way to "Skinny Town", so when I reach my goal weight, I will be able to look back and see what roads I have taken to get here.  I titled my journal "Ginney's Journey to Skinny Town".  Great luck to you and God Bless.

Ginney,

Today has been good, I am up early so it is mid morning and I usually want a snack too by 9:00 a.m. but I do not feel hungry at all.  Good luck!

Welcome, Tammy, if you want to journal, you can do it right on this site as well, it's sometimes really helpful because people that have been at it longer than we have will catch something that you aren't doing as well as you could.  I was going to say wrong, but on ldl I'm learning that there really are no wrongs, sometimes we just don't make good choices.  praying for your success.
