Weight Lose

Hi A.,
I am 41 years old and also have 3 children. My weight has bounce up and down for years but I have found that walking & slow jogging (12 min. mile) is the best thing to lower my weight. I am not an althele but I started off slowly 2 years ago by jogging for 2 minutes then walking for 1. It took me 6 months to be able to jog for 1 mile without stopping. Today I jog for 5 miles 2 to 3 times per week. I find it helps me keep my body feeling better but most of all it gives my mind a lift. Best of luck to you and I hope this helps!!

Girl I lost 95lbs in a year and a half and did it very healthy and didn't rip anything out of my life suddenly and send myself into shock, lol. I would love to talk to you about it and see if it is something that you would like. there is too much for me ot type, but I would love to help. you can contact me here if you want too and I will give you my number. hope to hear from you soon.

Hi A.. I highly suggest taking a look at Arbonne's Weight Loss System called Figure Eight. It's awesome! It's pure, safe, natural, herbal and botanically based, and Vegan. I know many people who swear by it! I eat the weight loss chews between meals and they keep me energized and going until the next meal. I represent Arbonne, and I'd be happy to give you some samples to try. You can check out my website to learn more: www.mandyolsen.myarbonne.com or arbonne.com. Also, I offer all Arbonne products at the wholesale price! Hope you can find something that works for you. Take care and good luck!

I think most of us struggle with this at some point in our life! There are some wonderful ideas listed & great programs so I'll just add a small tip. If you drink soda (or as all the texans call it "Coke"); either cut it out completely or cut way back on it. I know that in the past I've went "cold-turkey" and lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks just from giving up my Dr. Pepper for a while. Besides, you feel a ton better when you don't drink a lot of soda. Good luck & best wishes with this!!

Hey, A.! The Arbonne Figure8 Weight loss system is Great! I need to drop 10 lbs after having my second baby and did it easily in 2 weeks using Figure8! I have now kept it off for about 8 months without having to continue the entire program. There are protein shakes, a fiber shake, wirght loss supplements and weightloss chews for tasty snacks. My favorite product, which I still use, is the Daily Detox Tea. It is an herbal tea that is awesome, whether you need to lose weight or not. I actually have a full, un-opened Figure8 set if you want it. Also, if you visit www.gofigure8.com, there are great recipes and support if you want it. You don't have to buy anything to utilize the website. It is a great tool to aid you on your weightloss journey. Let me know if you have any questions, or if you want to buy the set from me. It is still in the original plastic bag it came in. The set includes the orange fiber shake, a chocolate and a vanilla protein shake, a 30-day supply of the supplements, a bag each of the chocolate and berry burst chews and a shaker cup for the shakes. I think it is $122.

Good luck to you! Let me know if I can help in any way. I think I also have a bottle (sealed) of the supplements left if you want to start off with just those. That is what I mainly used to lose the weight. Just let me know!!

Hi A.,
I understand your struggles! My knees were starting to hurt and my blood pressure was high. I had tried every diet in the world it seemed like and was even walking 2-3 miles 4 times a week. I still wasn't losing the weight. I finally tried weight watchers. I started in Feb. and reached my goal weight around July. I lost 40 lbs. For me the problem was that I was just eating way to much. Once I started recording what I ate and ate smaller protions of regular food the weight came off. The best part is I could still eat dessert. Now when I walk or jog the excercise makes a difference. Hope this helps! weightwatchers.com

Drink Mummy magic weight loss tea. It helped me dropping 35 pounds within a couple of months. Drink it 3 times a day better before every meal time.

As you have seen Arbonne Figure 8 is the way to go. If you need more info. let me know.

Check out www.sparkpeople.com for a fun way to keep track of things. If you like being on the computer, it makes it fun. There's a ton of folks out there doing it and you can encourage and get encouraged from others...it really has helped me. Good luck!

You can try Weight Watchers online. I've been doing WW and have lost 32 lbs so far. It's a simple plan and you don't have to buy special food or anything like that. Although now there is a lot of WW food available at stores, which is very convenient. Their food is actually tastes really good. I never feel deprived and still get to enjoy the foods I've always loved, just in smaller portions. Trying to lose weight is never easy, but is very attainable if you set your mind on it. I wish you the best of luck!!!

I read on wfaa.com that they did a test where subjects drank 8 oz of water before they ate, 8 oz while they ate, and 8 oz after they ate breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Seems like a lot of water to me, but the group that did it, ate whaterver they wanted and lost weight.

I know someone who did this program who weighed over 350 pounds and was on all sorts of medications. He lost weight and is getting healthier everyday. So, I decided to try the 9 day cleanse and lost 13 pounds. I exercised longer then it says to, but I wanted the maximum results (like the biggest loser). My husband lost 11 pounds even though he did not exercise like he was supposed to. Men seem to loose weight more quickly on this it seems. It is all natural and the natural energy you feel is incredible. Also, I had aches in my joints, especially my ankles and now after using this, I can actually run without my ankles hurting. That, in itself makes this product worth it to me. I believe in this product so much that I sell it and I will continue to use this because it is so good for me.

Go to my website to check it out, You won't be sorry, if you decide to give it a try. (Only order vanilla instead of chocolate, that stuff tastes terrible).

try just plain ol' walking. it speeds up your metabolism and makes you feel good once your body gets use to it. my mom and i walk about a mile 4-5 times a week. i quit snacking during the day and lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks.
good luck

Hello A.,
There are alot of diets/fads/pills etc... for weight loss and I've tried most of them. Have you heard of Low Glycemic Index foods? It's a lifestyle change of eating habits without counting calories (Yeah :) Basically, eating fruits and vegetables in it's raw state is the best!
If you would like more information, please call or email me at your convenience. Whatever you choose, I hope it works for you.
Blessings,
A.

I recently bought the book You, On a Diet. It tells all about your digestive system, what helps it work and what makes it stop working, and how your body digests and metabolizes food. This has helped me understand what different foods do to my body, so I eat differently now. It also said to drink a LOT of water and walk at least 30 minutes every day, without fail. I have been following this for about 2 weeks, not doing the actual diet in the book, and I have lost 8 pounds and feel a lot better. I still have to be cattle prodded out the door to walk most days because I HATE it, but once I am going I do ok. I do reccommend this book though, it will change how you view food. It has helped me curb my late night eating addiction.

What works for me is jogging. Start with a power walk and then try to jog 2-3 minutes at the time and walk. Slowly increase the jogging time. If the streets are too h*** o* your knees try the traidmill (you can use a friend`s apartment complex gym). I know it takes a lot of discipline, maybe you could find another mom in your area that would be interested in walking/jogging. Working out with a partner is always easier.

A., I've had several friends lose weight and keep it off after buying a book called Shangri-la diet. It is simple and you don't change your eating habits at all. N.
