newbie for the 2nd time!

[Guest guest]

This will be my second time attempting BFL. The program was

introduced to me by my boyfriend about 3yrs ago but I did not attempt

the program for atleast a year later after gaining 40lbs on a popular

prescription weight loss pill.While on the program for 4 weeks i

actually saw a change.It seems a lot easier than any other program i

have tried. I have tried Weight Watchers and other fad diets, but

only to end up weighing more than I did to begin. I am now

approximately 218 lbs and i want to get down to 135-140lbs. But

through searching the net I have never seen someone who has started

off at my size and gets results. I have lots of fat and haven't seen

a good muscle on my body in about 10yrs.i know this is not going to

be an overnight transformation but i tend to get motivation by seeing

others who are like me or worse off than I. Does anyone know of any

good sites to visit?........Also my boyfriend will be starting the

program next week with me.Our problem is eating out and having snacks

around the house. He seems to think that having these items around

the house isn't really bad but i don't want to fall into temptation.

It seems that most guys don't have a big hang up over weight and

being out of shape. So if I say something about our eating habits he

looks at it as a obsession to want to lose weight and get fit. Does

anyone have this problem out of there mate?

Check out the latest Muscle Media magazine. There's a 4 page

article about Pam Brown. She lost a LOT! And now she's competing

in contests. I have no desire to be on stage, but it's nice to see

someone that was large and successfully lost weight on BFL. I'm

about 190-195 pounds (probably 195 after my mom's holiday foods!

My husband is going to work out with me but he hasn't read the

book. I don't know if he'll officially work out BFL style or not.

I'd be happy to email you privately if you want to be buddies.

Welcome to the group! Congrats on deciding to make a change too! But you have

to remember that you are doing this for yourself and can't let other peoples

opinions and things get to you. If your boyfriend thinks that having snacks in

the house is okay, then make him put them away somewhere where HE knows where it

is and if HE wants to cheat, let him. LOL And if he thinks you wanting to get

healthy is an obsession to lose weight and get fit then let him! I am proud to

say I am obsessed with losing weight and getting fit. I figure it's better than

being obsessed with anything else right? And it's not like this program is BAD

for you or anything! So if you wanna be obsessed then I'll be obessed with

you!!! LOL Good luck!
