Over Weight

C.

There is a website at mypyramid.gov that lets you personalize your weight loss goals while learning about healthy eating and portions. I'm just starting out, but it is a great tool and does not cost anything besides your will power and good choices. If it is something you can do with your boyfriend you will have great results! Good luck!

I also am over weight. I've lost 28 lbs in the last 5 months. I know it's slow, but it's going! And I'm still on track. I think what helped me the most was educating my self on healthy living, that changed my life-and my families life for that matter. I read books on nutrition and excersize.
My favorite is "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman. That book opened my eyes to things I NEVER knew. And now I'm on my way to being healthy.

Hi C. MY name is also C. Iam a mom of a 8 month old girl and 6 months pregnate with the second baby girl.... I am also trying to lose weight as soon as this baby is born..... I would like to know how to lose the weight also so if you find a way please let me know.

I'm doing weight watchers for the second time-I had great success the first time around! Very flexible food options -focuses on portion control.

Hi C.,
My name is T. and I’m an Independent Consultant with Arbonne International. If you don't have time to go to the gym (like most people) I would suggest you trying the Figure 8 Line that Arbonne has. Their products are known to be pure, safe, and beneficial and they produce results. And as a mother of 3 with 10 grand, it sounds like you could use some energy as well. Arbonne just launched new products this month that are included in this line. They have protein and fiber shakes (which are always important with losing weight), On the Go Weight Loss Chews which satisfy appetite and boost energy (my favorite is the Berry Burst), and the new NRG GO3 fizzing beverage tablets that boost energy, increases metabolism, and controls appetite TOO. I would love to send you more information about this product line. Please email me at ____@____.com. I can't wait to see if this is the answer for you and your boyfriend. And the other great thing is I want to show you how you can receive these incredible products at the same wholesale amount as I do. I love to help people and this has given me the ability to help people shop, save, and then have incredible results with these incredible products!!

Talk soon, T.

Weight Watchers is working very well for me. I gained 50 lbs with my second child and it never went away, finally after 3 years I have gotten the right attitude about it. I need to lose a LOT, like 75-ish at least and this is actually working for me. I tried Atkins, South Beach, and several other "structured" plans and none of them worked for me. I'm not good with following strict rules about what I can and cannot eat. As soon as I am told not to eat something I focus on it and crave it until I binge and break the diet. With Weight Watchers you can go ahead and have the craving, just in a reasonable portion.

My husband has been doing this with me and in the 3 weeks since I started I have lost 14 pounds and he has lost about 6 (he's not trying as hard as I am). Honestly I don't exercise and I know that is not good, the excuses are limitless. My plan though is to begin going for walks as soon as it is in the positive numbers outside. Walking with a three year old in sub-zero weather is not my cup of tea.

This diet has really changed how I look at food and how and why I ate the way I did. At first it was a lot of work measuring everything, checking the points on things, and learning how to do different recipes, but now I wouldn't go back to the way I was for anything. For the first time in years, MY JEANS ARE TOO BIG!

C., feel free to email me or send me a message here and I can help you out with some pointers to get started if you want. Finally seeing good results will change your life!

I lost 20 lbs last fall thanks to Weight Watchers. I joined online, so I never went for weigh-ins or anything. I chose the "points" system & it's really very easy to figure out & I can eat what I want, within limits. I also joined sparkpeople.com and have gotten some great ideas there.

It's tough with it being so cold out to get any good exercising in, but do try to walk or do an exercise video a couple days a week as well.

Good luck!

Sweetheart you need to call Miss Annisa... and this is why

I have the best song in my head right now.... "One Hot
Momma"... IF you don't know my mom has moved in with
me because she transferred positions... well we were
out and about Monday and went to LANE BRYANT. THEY
HAVE SOME ROCKIN SALES RIGHT NOW... Well I absolutely
did not go in there to buy, I actually left my purse
in the car. But she said... you look so great... go
try these on...
I tried on a few things and she surprised me with 2
new dresses and new underwear. I know that sounds
silly but it made me feel so good!

Then last night I was invited to a Business Womens
Exclusive event last night. I wore one of my new
dresses and was sporting my new do. I have had so
many people complementing me lately how can I not feel
awesome.

So here is an update:
I was 355 lbs and a 26/28 in some things and a 32 in
others.
I just pulled down a 22 Oh yeah baby a 22! Can you
believe it? I can't but ... I can .. and I am so dang
excited I just have to SCREAM it from the roof tops.

I don't know about my poundage because I threw away my
scale a long time ago that dang thing was
depressing... I was obsessed with it... so next time I
go to my chiropractors I will use his and keep you up
dated.

Here are some little things that make a BIG
DIFFERENCE.
I can sit in chairs with arms in them with out them
cutting into me or my butt getting stuck! Yes I have
had my butt get stuck before.
When in a meeting I don't feel like I have to move my
chair 6" away from the people beside me so I am not
sitting on them. I still like personal space but I am
more comfortable sitting between people.
My seatbelt is fitting better.
My clothes are getting smaller AND CUTER! SWEET!
My migranes are rare instead of constant
I am taking so much less pain meds... they are now
once and awhile instead of the highest dose "safe" per
day every day. (being heavy hurts)
I no longer am spending $40 - $160 PER WEEK on
chiropractic care. like $40 per month... to every 6
weeks.
I have lost a whole shoe size which opens my windows
of cute shoes tremendously. I love shoes!
I have moved pinky rings to my ring fingers...
My bras fit better
with my new underwear they were not riding up my
butt. I know you are laughing right now but that was
a HUGE PROBLEM FOR ME... I felt like I had a constant
wedgy...
Because I am living in less pain I am more productive.

I am getting compliments on my hair, my eyes, my
nails, my skin, my appearance. (keep them comming I
am love, love, loving the positive attention)
My husband took me on a date ...
I FEEL SEXY!

So I want to PUBLICALLY BLOW JEN AND ANNISA KISSES.
Jen took me to a spa, and I was introduced to
Annisa... I bought a SHAKER BOTTLE and her shakes
because I have medical problems and desperately needed
to stablize my blood sugar. I hated breakfast it was
either too fatty or too sugary and well at 6am I am
LAZY.

So, I am now actually having breakfast and I also use
the shakes at 9:00pm when my hunger monster come
alive. also if I am out and about I have a shake
instead of fast food.

OK so last night at this function, they served treats
and it was during my HUNGAR MONSTER HOURS and I looked
at them and as pretty as they were I had no desire or
their sugar filled treats. I even had people trying
to get me to eat the treats... but as pretty as they
were I was not even tempted. YEAH the hunger monster
is getting collared. Dancing around my house in
undies and a new nighty.

SO JEN AND ANNISA GOD BLESS YOU FOR helping me control
my blood sugar without drugs and easily... the "side
effects" are fantastic. I love you both and I love
life right now!

MOOOWA my darlings!
You want to call miss Anissa her number is ###-###-#### She truley has a servants heart and will spoil you rotten and make you feel like a princess.

All I gotta say girl, is WEIGHT WATCHERS!!! I am just starting my 4th week, and am down 10 pounds. You can still have all the foods you are use to, you just have to be accountable for the points. Once you get use to it...after a week or so... it's all very simple and easy to do. Give it a try! You can join on-line, so there is really no commmitment, besides losing weight of course!

Weight Watchers is great! 67.7 pounds and counting! It is definitly about eating the right foods and portion sizes! from size 22 to 12

Try Total Health & Fitness. Check out their site www.thfonline.com.

I've used

http://www.sparkpeople.com

and I love it. It's 100% free, customizable for any nutrition goal, and has all the features of online weight watchers. I personally like spark over weight watchers because I can pay attention to specific aspects of my nutrition instead of just dealing with points. spending 10 points doesn't mean anything to me if it was all on icecream! with spark I pay more attention to how my nutrition is spread out in my foods and I can track other things like cholesterol. I'm currently preggers, but once this baby comes I'm going back to spark to loose weight.

weightwatchers flex plan... so far i'm down 41.2 lbs in 5 months

Weight Watchers is, by far, the best weight loss program available. It is structured enough to work and flexible enough to fit in with even the pickiest of eaters.

I LOVE weightwatchers online. They are having a free trial now. Good luck!

There is a website called sparkpeople.com, It's a great help in meal planning. It keeps track of your calories, and fat, and carbs for you. they have recipes and groups you can join for support. I just joined it recently and already love it. There is also a yahoo group called weight loss buddies and they've dealt with any kinda problem you can encounter and they are there for support and great advice. Quite a few of the members have lost the weight and are trying to help others achieve their weight loss goals. Hope this helps.
