NWR: Weight Loss

Good Luck with the auction!!!

Thanks for all those who sent me the congrats. It was hard! There is no such thing as crash dieting and keeping the weight off. I watched what I ate, stopped going out to eat all together (in the beginning) and exercised. It is all about portions, fruits, veggies, and healthy foods. I still splurge everyonce in awhile, but 1 day of splurging wont make me gain back 50lbs! LOL. It took me 2+ years to lose my 50lbs, but 1 year later, I still have no gained a pound back!

If anyone needs some encouragment or someone to chat with send me an FM. I have some GREAT healthy recipes that you would not even tell were diet food!

I think the 1 day of splurging is great, i had done the same thing...Infact i read an article a fitness instructor wrote and he says just give 6 days a week of yourself to sticking to a diet.

WOW thats great that you didnt gain any weight back at all good for you

It took me about that long to lose 50 pounds too and i did it the same way... no pills or a fad diet. I cut out fast food and ice cream in the beginning (which used to be a regularity) and while I havent gained any weight back i'm not as firm because I stopped exercising. I think its healthy to have 1 day to induldge because when you have cravings for something.. I just think okay well I'll have that on saturday and i dont give in that instant.

I gave up ALL junk food for Lent and its been really hard to keep to that not being able to indulge even one day.. SO for 2 days following Easter I am indulging consciously!

you know what i also used to do...like sometimes i would crave some things, like a piece of cake or something and i would just take one or two small bites, this way i was able to taste it and enjoy it lol but ate so little of it, wont make a difference hahaha...in my head this was a perfect solution

okay girls here is the before and after. The before is from Dec of 2005. . . and the after is from a few months ago over 40lbs lighter.

I LOVE IT! but - not to be rude - i think you need to find better pictures - not that those pictures aren't gorgeous bc they are - but i think the loss is even MORE dramatic than that - if that makes sense? hmm i will look through your pics now he he he



i still cant believe the transformation bc i saw you like every day all of a sudden i turned around and you were different!!!

oog maybe pics from your cousin's wedding?

i read somewhere that we only really TASTE the first two bites of food and the rest is just kind of habit - so if you are eating something just for the taste y ou should stop after two bites - so your technique makes sense!!!


also about those diet plans . . .if i ate all that (for ex: cottage cheese, grapefruit etc) for breakfast . . .i wouldnt even be able to make it to work LOL my stomach is soooo bad
