I'm 59, and I weigh 258 lbs. I get my first order of Cambridge this Thursday. I read a Stanford study about dieting, and it said, if money is involved people don't want it coming out of their pocket and they stay on the diet. I think it is great that you are offering a money incentive. I know in the beginning it is going to be more difficult, for me, to get through the first few days and it will be very exciting to think about the incentive - when I feel deprived.
Ideas:
Maybe we could take pictures and measurements to prove the weight we are loosing - possibly monthly.....Maybe we could write nightly on your site, what we ate and/or drank each day and weekly write our new weight. Maybe we should also have a monetary incentive - which we pay - for a bad choice day and/or per each wrong food we eat - for any day. We could also get an avidavid from the doctor/nurse stating what our beginning weigh is now…. then get one later after we lose the weight.
I am hoping to not eat for at least 6 months...I will be consulting my doctor for blood tests, etc. I am very excited about starting. I love it that we can go on this for life and have all the nutrients that we need, so we don’t have to worry about getting sick, gaining it back and adding on more weight. I want to lose at least 120 lbs.
What were you thinking about?……What ever it is – I’m game! Can we start Thursday after I receive my product or Friday. Come on folks - lets do this together and support each other and win! I am going to take my measurements before Thursday so I can know how many inches I am losing. I have been fat for so long……..I am ready for this!
