I think my problem is sweets lol...

In getting ready for the voice recital yesterday I couldn't decide what to wear. I'm tired of always wearing black for concerts. Yesterday I didn't have to be in black so I was looking for something different. I found this dress that I hadn't worn in probably 5 yrs or more. I tried it on and it actually fit. I couldn't believe all the compliments I got after the recital. It was amazing. I felt like a new person. Woohoo Yippee

outstanding

thanks manno. shame i didn't have anyone to take my pic or a camera

Its nice to see someone who is excited about transforming their body. I have recently decided to do the same.

I mean I've really decided to make it a life long change of eating right and staying (getting) fit. I found a way to guarantee that.

Its back to the old fashioned way. Stay under a certain amount of calories every day, and eat lots of fiber and protein and lower fat and lower carbs.

Also exercise. I am setting up a weight training routine, walking, and doing the five rites and some yoga.

I started 15 days ago and I have lost 5 pounds. My goal is 2 pounds per week.

I'm feeling great and my energy is increasing. It is amazing what loosing just five pounds feels like.

Its great.

Kudos to you jeaniebean and music chic.

Great attitudes!

hi poly. thanks. where u been hiding?

Congrats jeaniebean. Sounds like a lot of hard work. Just make sure ur losing fat and not lean muscle. Way to go.

Oh yeh I eat lots of protein. I have two books with lots of information. Tom Venuto's "Burn the fat, feed the muscle." (He is a body builder.) And his new book I bought on Amazon.com called "The Body fat solution." Its really great.

I've also ordered a book with lots of free weight exercises. I am starting out real slow and gentle. I have week knees and everyone wants you to do those darn squats and lunges. eek!

I even ordered that p90X extreme home fitness routine, but it is too advanced for me right now. I will do that later.

Woohoo. Another good week. Lost another 2 inches this week. This is so much fun! Grand total = 22 inches!!!! Watch me melt away to nothing but do hope to keep going for a while. get back to a normal size, whatever that may be. Still keeping the curves

Sweet is my problem too at least once a day is that bad. And my Coffee have to have it blonde no sugar though but I drink a pot a day.

curves yes

This stuff seems to have helped keep my sweet tooth in control. As for the coffee it's actually a diuretic. Do u use skim milk? Coffee isn't really that bad compared to donuts, candy, etc. Just drink water too to stay hydrated.

Manno, I'll keep the curves just for u.

Yeah I know the coffee but a little 1 percent milk and lite coffee creamer. Yeah a girl has to have her curves and a little back :)

Yea the coffee and creamer doesn't sound like ur problem. Something else maybe ur not telling us?

I've got the curves covered.

lol not like I'm cutting back and this sitting isn't helping think I'm far along now to do some yoga just got to take action :)
