Sorry if this has been posted b4. Topics get lost and i never remember what we've already discussed! lol
i'm basically just trying to change my eating habits. no red meat for this entire month (just to see if i can do it) bcuz I LOVE BURGERS!!! but i've been eating veggie or turkey burgers instead and they are GOOD! i'm also trying to eat more organic things, no fast food, less sweets and tons and tons of water which is a huge thing for me since ive always HATED water. i find it easier to drink with a little lemon in it. also hitting the gym at LEAST 3 times a week doing mostly cardio and a little strength training. hoping to increase the strength training soon. So far so good. 9 pounds down!

Guys, I used to be VERY heavy and I'll post a before and after picture later... But, anyways- I used to be a size 16 and now I am a 2. In 2005, I started with the cabbage soup diet. You only do this for one week. I have a thyroid problem and the weight would not BUDGE. So, I started this and I lost 10 pounds in one week. The best part is you eat tons of food but it's mainly protein and fruits and veggies. Then, I just stuck to a high protein diet. I swear, the weight just melted right off. In three months, I have lost 25 LBS. It was amazing. I also worked out 5-6 days a week. Now to maintain, I work out 3 times a week and pig out on Saturdays. If I could lose the weight, anyone can. It's just a matter of if you really want to do it. When I was ready to lose, I was fed up with going to stores and not being able to look good in clothes. There usually is a last straw for everyone that gets you motivated.
WOWWWW!!! that is amazing! congratulatiions!!! can you share the cabbage soup diet with us? i remember a few years ago this was all the rage but i thought u can only have the soup and thats it. Again that is a wonderful accomplishment! LETS KEEP IT UP LADIES! WE CAN DO THIS! We can even post a before and after pictures thread wen we get to our weight goal! how cool would that be!
I have to look for the website which shows the plan and the recipe. The plan goes something like this, first day soup and fruits. Second day soup and veggies. Third day soup, fruits and veggies and so on. I'll look for it and post it for you ladies who want to try it!
BTW, just like the website advises- just do this once- you can't do this all the time as a form of weightloss. It is only supposed to be used as a plan to jumpstart your weightloss and detox your body.

Re: What are you doing to SLIM DOWN?
I LOVE turkey burgers!! I think they have such a great taste. I eat the Boca burgers a lot b.c they are also not red-meat. I can't wait until FH starts bbqing again - that;s the best, I make grilled chicken too on the bbq.
I always liked water but sometimes I want something with a taste, so I use the crystal light mixes.
And I have to commend you also for your efforts going to the gym!!
I have been trying to also exercise, I have been to the gym 1x this week and I was going to go on Thursday but I wanted to stay outside so I walked (rigorously) around the neighborhood with the puppy, she was panting and soo tired I really worked her butt!

but i must say you look great in your dress
warmer weather here so may be easier to get out and get involved with some fun exercise.
i go out to play tennis with warmer temps and more light 3-4x week and it's fun but good exercise

Re: What are you doing to SLIM DOWN?
I WAS SO BAD YESTERDAY - had pizza and tots instead of my normal salad - then went out and had two glasses of wine and sliders! Yuck! I hate when I don't stick to my plan. Plus, I totally did it out of frustration of not losing weight this week. Talk about counterintuitive
