Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
Right after
I had my first son. I couldn't do the basic things that I used to be able to do
easily.
What made you decide to lose weight? I was trying
to get back down to a healthy weight so that I didn't develop any heath problems.
I could feel myself getting strained.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
Working out was number 1. I started going to Curves. That 30 min. work out
place. It was hard, but I did that for three months. Then I started my diet. Then
I started working out harder at a local YMCA. Always changing it up in my routine
so I wouldn't plateau.
What was most challenging about losing weight? Staying
focused! I was on the diet, not my family. So I had to find ways to eat separately
and find time away to work out.
How long did it take you to start to see results? It
took about two months before I noticed any change. And it wasn't pounds or inches,
it was how I felt.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
A year and two months.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?
I've maintained it for almost three months now... I still have five pounds
to go though. I just balance the amount of calories I take in to the amount of
calories that I burn.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I have better sex now! It has made my husband and I very happy!

Weight Loss Eating Plan!
Breakfast:
Whole grain toast with a little reduced fat
peanut butter on it with some kind of fruit, like kiwi.
Lunch: A protein shake with a salad or a sandwich.
Dinner: Anything I wanted as long as it was light on carbs
and it was under 500 calories.
Snacks or Mini Meals: Fruits or a funsize piece of chocolate
to satisfy my craving.

Weight Loss Workouts!
Weight Training:
At least once a week of basic circuit
training.
Cardiovascular: Four days a week 30-40 minutes a day on
either the treadmill or the elliptical machine. Or, I take a sculpting/cardio
