I thought it might make this thread a bit more interesting if we introduced ourselves properly - what do you think?
I'll start!
I'm 35, British, married to my Moroccan husband for 3 years and we live in Greece. I teach English to Greek kids and hubby and I are desperately trying to start a family - hence my need to lose weight!
So, when I arrived in Greece (almost 13 yrs ago) I weighed 57kgs. With the Mediterranean diet of olive oil, feta cheese and yummy bread I've just balloooned slowly over the years!
I started a slimming club on 29th Sept when I was at my heaviest, 72.5kgs (160lbs - sorry, must remember to work in lbs so you guys know where I'm at!) I'm now 152 lbs as of this morning, and so far, coping quite well - apart from the odd chocolate lapse!!
My target weight? Obviously to get back down to 57kgs again (125 lbs) I'm only 5'3" so the extra weight really shows up around my middle!
That's me in a nutshell - looking forward to hearing about the rest of you.
We can do this together - I know we can!

Hello There Everybody~
I am a female. I could NOT live without horses. (well I could but I would be one sad camper!!) I love to be around horses all the time and umm I am trying to lose 75-80 pounds. I am 5`7.
How did I do, Laroussi?
Laroussi, may I ask why you decided to live in Greece? Were and are you originally from USA?

Hi ouch or is it 'ear'?? :) Do you suffer from a lot of ear-aches BTW?
I'm British through and through - born in London and grew up in bonny Scotland! Came to Greece as a tourist guide and just fell in love with the place so decided to stay.
Wondered if any of you know about the treatment I'm having. It's called the American SLim Pod - that's why I asked! Bit like an iron lung and I lie there for 40 mins a time on this vibrating table while hot air is pumped all over me. Like a sauna I suppose. Anyway, it reduces celulite and fat (supposedly!) and so far I've seen some slight improvement after 6 sessions - got another 6 to go.
Any more introductions forthcoming???

OK - I got yet more good news. The American Slim Pod is obviously working! At the beginning of my treatment they measured all my 'sticky-out' bits and it appears that after 6 sessions I've lost 5cms off my waist, 2cms off my upper arms and 3cms off my bust :( (that last bit isn't such good news!)
So all in all - I'm shrinking! Yippeeee - at last! Could be time to go on a shopping spree soon and grab myself some new clothes!
Hope everyone else has some good news coming there way soon.

Hiya :wave:,
Well I have not been doing good at all today. I ate good for breakfast then I had gummy bears, beef jerky 1 big slab and also a little piece of another :nono:!! I also had more gummy bears, and rice krispy treats! I don't know what got into me, maybe a snacking attack. I know for SURE tommorow will be better. I know it is a little way but for the rest of the week I am gonna do good! FULL THROTTLE! LOL
Angel: http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wow.gif If you don't have ear drops what I do is I put a warm!! <~~~must have!! washcloth and I put it on top of my ear and change it every 5-10 mins. Also I drink ALOT of Chamomole tea, it will bring down the inflammation and help alot! That is what I normally do.
Laroussi: http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/grad.gif congrats on the cm loss!! Wahoooo Don't you just feel great? LOL! I hope your doing good!
Everyone I hope you are doing good!

Ear - don't get yourself down over one little mis-hap it happens to the best of us! (Dunno what beef jerky is but it sounds nice!) Hope your having a better day today?
My main downfall is full-fat mayonnaise - I just can't eat salad without it. Kinda defeats the purpose really! Never mind tho, as long as you make up for the 'bad' days by having some 'good' ones, the weight will soon start falling off.
Good luck everyone!

Hi guys! I have good news today....this morning I got on the scale and I've lost 1.5lbs, but that's not all....I tried on my size 11 jeans and they fit, snuggly, but I actually got them to go over my knees this time. I was soooo HAPPY I started crying. I really need to start measuring myself bc I think I may be losing more inches than I think.

I almost cried myself when I had the opposite in fact - I put on my usual cargo pants that normally stay up by themselves, and I had to wear a belt they were slipping over my hips!!!!
Let's hope we can keep it up!
