I also agree with Adriane, try to cut back on processed foods. I once heard that you should only grocery shop on the outskirts of the grocery store, where all the fresh foods are. Good luck Adriana!staceykt22https://www.blogger.com/profile/11566721953416458503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-59305561568729650682012-02-19T23:11:20.897-05:002012-02-19T23:11:20.897-05:00Awesome suggestions!

Forget about a diet,...You know me for years girl... Forget about a diet, because they are all a waste of time! You need to change your mindset and change your lifestyle as a whole. Eat something healthy every 3-4 hours, breakfast is a MUST every day, and the gym has to become a regular "chore". Going to the gym is like taking a shower, brushing teeth or doing laundry... If you like it or not, you just have to do it. And the faster you get it over with, the better, and you will feel great afterwards. You will actually start liking it after a while:) Don't buy any junk food for the house because it'll be tempting you all the time. And as far as the sweets and "bad food" go, set a day of the week (for me it is Sunday) when you will let yourself eat anything and everything (sweets, junk food, etc). But remember: just one day a week! Be good on the other days of the week... My "junk day" is a weekly reward for me for being good the whole week and exercising:) Good luck!

I have lost 80 pounds ( and maintained it for 3 years) and for me counting caloriesand exercise worked. In the beginning I counted all calories and kept a list on a calorie counting website. I hired a trainer when I first started at the gym ( I liked the accountability) and had her for 6 weeks. I had to learn to put myself first at times....still a struggle some days. I have noticed that I crave 'junk' less and exercise more! I currently go to the gym at least 4 times per week for at least 45 minutes. I also found work out buddies and classes helped to motivate me on the days I was lazy and otherwise would have stayed home. I still have days and sometimes weeks when I jump off the healthy bandwagon but I have learned to forgive myself and move forward!Vanessanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015926567663896058.post-29896204054453466702012-02-19T22:29:28.667-05:002012-02-19T22:29:28.667-05:00Thank you, Adriane!

Also cut back on dairy! When I cut those out of my diet I lost a lot of weight without exercising. Also, if you don't already, try eating 6 small meals a day. A lot of people say that works for them! Good luck! I KNOW you can do it! :)Adrianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210608500625674090noreply@blogger.com
