WoW , where do i start ? Bear with me as im a little shy and very very self conscious talking about my weight ... I have been overweight ALL of my life and have been on countless diets to no avail of course ... I lose a substantial amount of weight and then it comes back with a vegence plus more ...
I have become so self conscious , its all i think about :( i am currently weighing 130kgs and stand around 5 11" i have no choice but to do something about it , i want to do this for myself ... i want to become a better wife /lover to my husband of five years , i would like to become a more active mum to my beautiful 2 and a half year old son ... and oneday SOON i would like to become a mother of two :)
I will be ordering Acaislim next week , it seems as though there are mixed reviews , but i believe with motivation and will power i can and will reach my goal ...
Are there any members who had a substantial amount of weight to lose ( like myself ) ? How much did you want to lose and what sort of time frame did it take to lose you weight ?
I am looking forward to beginning my journey and following others :)
Hi beetle bug! Nice name! I ordered last week and just received it after 6 days. I am excited to use them. Will start to use them tomorrow. I need to lose weight to tone my muscles. Good luck buddy!

hi beetle bug.. im also a new user of acaislim.. i got mine after a week of ordering it.. (im lucky too) so i have been using it for week now, proud to say that i have lost 3kg already.. sounds good right? keep me posted for your journey.. :)
Hi BeetleBug, I have been using A/S and C/C for the past month and have been pretty slack about it diet wise... I havent lost anything really but considering the junk (chocolate, chinese, KFC etc...)i've eaten (testing out the miracle drug) I havent put on either! This month (as of today) lol... I have decided to put in a lil effort and watch the food I'm eating plus stricter on my work outs too... I have 4 lil kids, so believe me I know how tired we get at the end of the day... but there's no excuse... gotta exercise! I am currently about 91.8kgs and wish to lose about 27kgs.
Khloekobe :) WoW thats awesome , ConGraTs to you , sure does sound good ... i only hope i have the same success as you :)
ChunkyBums , good for you on becoming stricter with yourself :) goodluck ... i have been reading your posts and wish you all the luck in reaching your goal .
As for me , well i have ordered today , so now just need to be patient and wait on my delivery ** SQUEAL ** im so excited and cant wait to begin ...
Today , i have made myself an inspiration board in the hope that it keeps me focused and on track ... i have 4 weddings to attend from January next year and hopefully i can feel comfortable enough to look great in a sassy dress ...
So here is to us all , dreaming , believing and achieving our dreams !!!
all the very very best beetlebug i just know you will do it....i lost about 17.5kg on my own a few years ago and just recently keep going up and down gaining about 5kg. I really want that off now or will feel like i failed lol I WILL do it!
thankyou chunkybums, I was 64kg and got down to 46.5kg which was a little on the under side I want to sit around the 48-49kg mark I am under 5ft tall lol
so since ordering i have been REALLY good ... no chocolate , no sweets or junk food , have not got on the scales and dont think i will until mon morning ... havent been excercisng though as i have the flu and dr says n excercise until feeling better ... so here's to the healthy eating at least lol !!! one step at a time ...
The hunger pains only really lasted a week for me... it was really bed but now I dont seem to notice it at all! Just feeling very tired and bit weak... I think I'm not eating enuff... still waiting for my 2nd order... I think the A/S was definately giving me more energy! ;]
Hunger pains I guess won't be so bad, at least It'll teach my belly to not crave so much, and hopefully feel fuller faster!!! I'm still waiting for my order, hopefully it's there when I get home!!!
OMG OMG !!! Its here , my package arrived TODAY !!! YaaaaY , i am so excited and cannot wait to start tomorrow ...
So before doing so , i have been inspired by Pixi to share my own story :o) I have been an overweight person most of my life ... i have been on countless diets some came with success although not for long as i found the weight would come back on as i got more relaxed about my eating habits ... The turning point first time around was when i was celebrating my engagement back in 2004 . My parents had a combined party for my now husband and i as well as my dad who turned 50 . My husband and i were staying with my parents . My Grandfather asked “ why are you not staying at the motel with G’s parents ?” I didn’t see the sense in this question as i would not stay anywhere else , to which my Grandfather replied to his own question by saying “Oh you wouldn’t be able to fit through the door anyway” ( i was 125kgs ) i was speechless not to mention very hurt . I walked away with tears flooding my eyes . My mum and dad followed knowing how hurt i was and comforted me . Reassuring me that no matter what weight i was or what i looked like i was their little girl and they loved me unconditionally. I was to prove not only my Grandfather but my future MIL very wrong . My MIL also made very hurtful comments along the way whilst i was organising our wedding . I had chosen a dress and pointed this dress out , my MIL said to me “ you will never wear a dress like that your too big and your arms wont suit that dress , but it looks gorgeous on the model” Can i tell you i did lose 38kgs before my wedding in October 2005 and I DID wear THAT dress from the magazine on my wedding day ... That was a very proud moment for me ...
In February 2006 i fell pregnant with our first son , this was the second turning point in my life that resulted in my significant weight gain . Your asking yourself why this is a turning point . We lost our baby boy , i was 22 d and a half weeks pregnant . Blake Samuel was stillborn on 9th July 2006 . It was at this point in my life i was in a state of despair ... I ate my way back up to 125+ kgs , i lost all faith in my own body and lost all sense of well being ... i allowed myself to grieve but also lost all sense of direction while doing so ... After i regained part of my life back and with the never ending support of my husband i took control and again lost a phenomenal 38kgs. After proving to myself that i could do it i again fell pregnant with our second son in 2007... Our gorgeous little boy was born in February 2008 and has been the absolute centre of our worlds . So of course i allowed myself to fall back into the habit of becoming more relaxed with my eating ... Which bring me to the present day , i want to be able to fall pregnant again , i am 30 years old and would hope that i can begin to play a more active role for my 2 and a hal year old and become a more confident wife ... Still after being with my husband for eight years i still find an excuse to have the “light off ”. I do apologise if my story is a little confronting for you all but i needed to share so you could all understand where my journey has lead me and to explain why i am here .
So in saying that i think i will also share (much to my disgust) my stats to remain truthful to not only myself but to you all . I would never dream of sharing any of this information to anyone in real life . I guess me being able to share my story with complete strangers has helped me begin a new chapter in my life ...
BeeTLe BuG yay I even did the weird upper lowercase thing lol
Your story bought tears to my eyes...Thankyou for being so brave to share that with me and us all here as well as your starting stats...I am glad my story inspired you to feel you could tell yours.
Beetle Bug, if you want unconditional support and non judgemental people you have certainly come to the right place. Be as confrontational as you want we can handle it and those that can't don't have a heart.
All the best of luck to you on Acai, there are many stories on here of people whose road in life has not been easy or even may I say rocky, yours certainly seems to be one of the more than rocky ones, hopefully the support you can get from being on here and opening up to complete strangers will help you be where you need to be.
We eventually won't be complete strangers to you, but that doesn't mean you still cannot tell us anything you need to to help you on your road to the life and body you want.
We are here for you as we are here for everyone on here, we are here because we want to be, not because we have to be.

@ beetle bug: that story was so inspiring. do not be afraid to tell everything here. people in this forum are not judgmental because we all share the same thing. you should thank your MIL and grandfather. they may have hurt your feelings but they were the ones who gave you motivation.
like my stupid x-bf(sorry for the word). he hurt my feelings but he was the reason why i tried everything i can to lose weight.
sorry to hear about Blake Samuel.and glad you are blessed with your son. :)
lol @ pixi , i'm impressed with your efforts on my user name :o)
i appreciate your votes of support - pixi , dinkidi and marga
Its not something i share openly but feel i could do it here because i knew that all you you had your own stories and would know where i was coming from ...
So day 1 and i feel ok , a little tired as i have had a hectic workload the last few weeks and doesnt look like calming down for at least another week or so ... But I have managed to drink over 2.5 litres of water , ate breakfast , lunch and about to eat dinner and two pieces of fruit in between ...
So all in all it was a great day :o)
Pixi i am quite inerested in a few more of your recipies , can you point me in the right direction as i have no idea how to navigate myself around this site ** blush **
hey BeeTLe BuG you can find some of my recipies here http://acaislim.activeboard.com/index.spark?aBID=135881&p=3&topicID=38764197&page=1&sort=oldestFirst
unfortunately I havent lost anything yet annsmith I did in the first week and the 2nd week I gained what I had lost and a bit more on top...cannot really explain it but I have faith I can lose this weight it will just take time and determination and alot of exercise
Pixie it does state that it's harder for people who only need to loose a small amount of weight rather than someone who I can't recall said they have lost 50kg's in 4 months. Now that's amazing
yes I agree its remarkable robbie what a huge amount to lose in 4 months I would have to eat lettuce all day everyday to lose that much if I needed to lose it lmfao
I know I will find it difficult but hey it will be done
lol belle.. thats not impossible i think.. we just need cooperation and determination.. :) we can do it.. :) i am really eager to lose 40 kg.. i wanna wear my clothes before (that was when i am still single) lol!
i think i am the one you are talking about girls.lol. sorry, been busy this week on work.it's the usual month end reports i had to do plus the bosses visited so had to impress with the reports.lol. anyway, it's possible but yes hard to achieve.but if you are determined you can do it too. added factor is the personal bad experience i had in my life which became my turning point to everything.a wake up call indeed. Goal: 36-24-36 with AcaiSlim
