Hello all! I am very excited because I have lost 20 lbs. and it is becoming very noticable. Before I began my diet I barely fit in my size 12 clothes and was wearing a size 14. Now I am fitting into all of my size 12's, infact they are getting a bit big for me. It is so exciting. I was able to buy a size 9/10 pair of pants and a medium size top- which both fit nicely! That arent even snug!!! I am so proud of myself! The picture I have posted was taken at the beginning of my weight loss journey and I plan to post another picture around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I have made some weight loss goals for the next couple months. I honestly think I will have no problem obtaining those goals either! This is the first time I have had success with a diet. phen has helped me cut back the amount of food I eat and I have become a conscience healthy eater. I don't eat a lot of carbs and I stay away from fast food all together. If I eat out I choose a salad, veggie burger, or another healthy option. My problem is that I hate to exercise and I would rather sacrifice food then get my butt moving. I walk a lot at work being a kindergarten teacher but other then that I maybe walk 3 times a week in the evenings. I do sit ups sometimes when I watch tv, or stretch, do leg bends, or push ups. I also make it a priority to not eat after 8:00. That was very hard to do at first since I was a late night binge eater- but it honestly gets easier the longer you keep up with it. In fact the same goes for carbs. When you cut them out your body doesnt crave them. I still eat carbs though, but maybe a serving every other day. I also buy junk food still but I have started buying organic. It has less fat and calories and they are still pretty tastey. Believe me they arent my cheddar and sour cream potato chips but that type of food got me fat- so I completely pass up that isle at the grocery store. Overall I feel comfortable with my diet and I can see the difference in my body and that makes me even more confident in reaching my goal by July! Good luck to everyone on your weight loss- but if I can do it, you can do it! :D
