I can remember doing my Mom's step aerobics videos in junior high every summer hoping that I would lose a lot of weight so when I went back to school everyone would be like "WOW". Never happened, I am sure I lost a few pounds every summer (I never weighed myself because we didn't have a scale at home) but I didn't realize that there was a nutrition component to losing weight at age 13. I also wasn't very dedicated.
In College, I was old enough to understand if you eat right and exercise you will lose weight. I did a pretty good job of dropping about 25 pounds during this time but once I graduated and got married the weight slowly but surely came back.
Now, for the past few years I've been working out and trying to eat right but I am a Monday through Thursday good eater and exerciser. Once the weekend comes...I'm done. With the excitement of the weekend, I forget the diet and the exercise. I also tend to focus all of our weekend activities around eating out and happy hours.
So, I am doing something drastic. I am investing a good amount of money into a diet that worked for one of my coworkers. I am hoping to lose 50lbs by Thanksgiving...yes that's 50 lbs in about 4 months. It sounds crazy, but seemed very realistic to my weight loss consultant. I've read a lot of mixed reviews about my choice diet, Slim 4 Life, but I've also read a lot of success stories too. What I did not find was a detailed description of how this diet worked for someone and what were the true daily struggles they found by doing it. So, I've decided I would be that person. I hope that my posts will help motivate you and help you get started on your weight loss journey (whether you choose Slim 4 Life as your path, or something else). Here's to hoping a big CHANGE is on the horizon!
