Hi Lauren,
Haha thanks for your comments, I'll tell my GF but don't be surprised if I'm no longer on this forum soon (damn jealousy
) No, I'm joking
About my mom, she is now semi-walking, she has issues about climbing some stairs, about walking for more than 2-3 minutes, etc...
However, as a lot of you adviced, I just concentrated on my success in hoping it would inspire her... and guess what?
Next year (January 2nd), she is beginning a kind of diet, well it's not a VLCD like we are on, it's like a "maintenance" plan. Of course she may not lose like we all lose here, but I guess it's a good start
I don't know if she will hang on, or if it's just a new year reolution which will fade away, but one thing is sure, I'll support her! Between you and me, I don't think this is the best solution as it will take a LOT of time for her to see any difference (when you have 175-200+ pounds to lose), and it's also much much much easier to cheat on that kind of plan, however I guess if I gain her "trust" in her weight loss pattern, she will eventually (I know her) lose motivation, and I guess that time will be perfect for me to make her try MF.
If she doesn't want to try it at this time, I guess I can just support her on this other diet she chose!
As I am almost 40 pounds lighter, I think it will be so much easier to deal with her, considering I don't need any more motivation; right now I am SOOOOOO motivated I could have 10 christamas foodies parties and not event think about cheating :P
