Healthy Weight Loss

Kitten.With.A.Twist · 01-27-2013, 08:59 AM

Dixie I wish you much better health in 2013! I want to recommend the book "The Blood Sugar Solution" to you.. as well as "Fat Chance" - published just last month.

I've changed my life in the last year - dramatically - and know you will do the same!

I entered my weight and my height and my weight loss goals, and

The app produced a certain number of calories.

Update: It's been about three weeks, and I've lost about 11 pounds.

Like I've posted other places, I don't believe in dieting.

It's unhealthy; it doesn't work; and for anyone who has lived with an eating disorder, it's just plain dangerous.

I don't find it helpful to talk about being bad with food, or eating food that's bad.

I do want to eat more food that's good for me and less food that's bad for me.

Thank you for the tips! I went ahead and ordered "The Blood Sugar Solution" for my Kindle, and will start with that one! Thanks again!

At the beginning of the year, my coworkers and I at the school, decided to form a group of six people and loose weight together. So far, I have lost six pounds in two weeks and I now wear a size 13 junior jeans. I have another 25lbs to loose before the summer and I am enjoying the competition that we have!

I was on track yesterday!!! Yay!!! I haven't been on track in a long time, and my weight is showing it. It's amazing what happens when you stop paying attention.

Yesterday, I went to the store and got what I needed to make healthy choices. I am planning my day right now (since it's Super Bowl and all, and I don't wanna grab for the chips).

I am ready to start this journey again, I am ready to start taking care of me, instead of everyone else. I deserve to live a healthy and happy life!!

I'm also going to do a paleo challenge with a friend for 21 days. Tonight I am making a crockpot garlic/lemon chicken with onion and carrots

Hugs to all!!!

Following a weight loss plan is soooooo hard to do during the Mardi Gras season,but I am manageing 95% of the time.

Ok... I have been on track for the 3rd day in a row!!! This seems minuscule compared to my past, but it's a big step for me!!

For the first 3 days, I had a killer migraine because I cut out coffee/diet coke/fast food. I had one ALL day/night last night, was dizzy and feeling the caffeine jitters. I took two Vicodin and I *still* woke up with the damn headache. I took an imitrex this morning and *poof* (hallelu!) it was gone. I don't have the carb/caffine jitters anymore and so I think I'm going to be ok!!

It's amazing how awful that stuff is for your body, to the point that it makes you feel sick! I am glad I have started this journey again. It isn't my first, initially losing about 60lbs give or take and almost making it to goal. I have gained about 25 back, and I don't want to live like this anymore! I really want this struggle to end. I want this to be the last time!

Here we go!

Apparently I haven't worn my white jeans in quite some time. Went to put them on after my shower. They are almost 3 sizes too big!!! I was shocked! It also made me think....

Most of us (ok, a few of us) have "that" pair of jeans, tucked away in a closet or drawer, in hopes of one day getting back into them. I have those jeans. They are those skinny-ass teeny-bopper jeans that came from the juniors section. For years, every time I ran across those jeans I would growl at them and throw them further back into my closet, then be depressed for the rest of the day. Well, after my white jeans were too big today I dug out those other jeans.

OMG people...not only did they fit but hello! Apparently all this treadmill incline is making my ass look fineeeeeeeee!!! (I've been increasing incline between 7.0-12.0 and also adding another half mile every couple days. I'm up to 6 miles a day at those inclines now.) I'm so super excited just to be wearing those damn jeans. I think I'll go out and buy another smaller pair to put back in the closet.
