<Sorry, I really do not mean to brag again but I have lost 23lbs to date!
Last weekend, I weighed in and saw that I lost only 1 lb, after the raya and Chutney binge. 'Fine', I was telling myself…'I binged on raya and ate all the cookies and tarts and whatever was on the table'. But then I went on a strict no carb diet for 3 days to so called 'detox' myself…guilty jugak eh dah mencekik 2 hari!
So yesterday, I stepped on the scale…OK, I lost 5 lbs…I LOST 5 LBS??????? I got off the scale and got back on it 3 times…sanity check. Woooohooooo….betul lah, 5 lbs! boleh tahan. So I have 10-15 more lbs before I reach my weight goal. It’s a long way to go, but perseverence and discipline is the key! InsyaAllah….
As you have read how I started this South Beach Diet…hai, memanglah first 2 weeks payah betul…rasa macam tak boleh survive. But it gets easier after seeing the pounds melting away.
Nope, you don’t have to buy this South Beach Diet food, cookies or meals. Just get the book and you will know what I am talking about.
Clothes? Even my 'upper underwear' do not really fit as well. Was a C cup, I think now I have lost them 'girls' a little bit, I slipped to a B, grrrr. I do sporadic shopping, if I go grocery shopping by myself or with my daughter, I would divert a little bit to Burlington Coat Factory to see if they have good collections. So far, I managed to get 3 new blouses and a pair of work pants…that fit me. I bought a belt which I did not measure against myself due to the stupid theft detector, when I got home, the belt was too big…exchange again! So far, half of my clothes are acting funny when they're on my body. Either the crotch of the pants falls 5 inches down my thighs or the button down blouse just do not fit anymore.
Some of my co workers think that I am 'disappearing' in my cubicle each day they see me. They have to look hard for me, not getting used to the shrinking Ely, who still sounds as loud as before.

Ely,
Woah! Congrats on your weight loss! I am in need of some motivation after gaining about 18 pounds since the beginning of the year. I miss my jeans!
Fulemaaak, slim gila!!! Now if ONLY I had the determination like you. I'm a sucker lar kalau bab2 makan ni .. susah!! My only alternative was to exercise, and even THAT I haven't been doing for yonks!! :p
ah beng, 17kg is about 34 lbs kan? buy the book called South Beach Diet. first 2 weeks, no carbs and no fruits. then u slowly reintroduce the good carbs and fruits...mesti boleh hilang itu 17kg lah.
thaaniya, go get the South Beach Diet book too. thats how i lost 23lbs.

Pheeewwwwitttt...!!! You look great !!! just great! isk... ni makan nasi dua sudu jer ker? hehehh... :)
heheheh yes dear about 4 sudu?
i pernah buat diet ni, tapi lepas raya last year, gain back all the 8 kgs i lost. but this year ramadan, with new approach, i lost 8 kgs again, and wonder ously maintained the lost after raya, in fact lost another 1 kg after binging in KL recently.
still eating rice, tadi makan nasi lemak satu senduk, tapi petang dan malam, appetite more controlled.
tengok oprah semalam with guests Dr mehmet Oz, Yang tulis buku titled something close to "You the manual", something you ler, and the advices given were up to date to research, esp on importance of folate and magnesium and vitamin D.
may be people like us need a special blog on maintaining wt loss.
melayu kalau dah tingal kat negeri mat saleh, naik anggerk lah ...
