I've gained 30lbs!

Erika, I have put on 70lbs since I met FH 5 1/2 years ago! For years I have been unmotivated and fallen off track for reasons/excuses. My main problem is making myself and my health a priority. FH has no problem doing this, why do I? I CAN work, keep up with housework, eat healthy, work out and have a social life! We can do it! I'm on my forth week of working out in the gym 4 times a week, doing a variety of lifting and cardio. Can't wait to see the results of my work! Trying on wedding dresses was super motivating for me. Good luck, you can do this!

Garcinia Cambogia. The magical weighloss suppliment dr.oz lives by they come in gummies if u dont like pills. 2 daily an like a 30 min walk or jumping jacks anything u can do at home will help you drop pounds.

^^ that stuff is woo- along with raspberry keytones as well.

calorie deficit.

so move more eat less. there is no magic pill.

Anything Dr. Oz claims and or endorses- you should run away from.

Try to tackle one thing each week. If you try to change all of your eating and lifestyle habits at one time, it will probably be overwhelming. To start, try drinking more water (no soda or sugary drinks) and really try to cut down on bread and sugar. As far as exercising, can you meet with a trainer? Join a support group? Train with a friend? When it's more than just you and there's accountability, it's easier to actually make it to the gym. You can do it!

I am in the same boat as you! I am trying to wait as long i as i can to go try on dresses. My wedding is next July and my coordinator is forcing me to go no later than september. I have recently started meal replacement with the smoothies and i also drink tea as an appetite suppressant. I am trying with the water thing (but to drink half my weight in oz a day in water just makes me pee ALOTTT) lol I am buying a fit bit this week, I'm really excited about that

But i would have to say start by drinking lots of water, if you can incorporate fat burning fruits such as grapefruit and kiwi as snack i'd suggest that. (Be careful with Grapefruit tho, i know if conflicts with certain medications). Make a pinterest board they have a gazillion recipes to help with healthier eating.

I also struggle with time, I am a case manager and my job is so stressful and mentally exhausting sometime i just wanna come home, lay down and stare at the ceiling. I try to motivate myself by going to Zumba. I like dancing and once i leave there I'm pumped so ill try to work out a little more in the gym before going home. Walking also does wonders as well. Last summer i lost a lot of weight from walking 2 miles a day around 4 days a week.

I suggest cut one thing at a time. It allows you to stay motivated bc change will continue. I recommend start by only drinking water. Do that for a week and the nxt week only water & a walk. The nxt week only water, a walk & a healthy breakfast. The nxt week increase the walk length 50%. The nxt week add lunch healthy. The nxt week start jogging half & walking half. The nxt week add healthy dinner 3 nights a week. The increase the workout by add strength excerises like push ups, lunges, etc. By the time 3 months pass you will be eating healthy & working out regularly.

I just started using Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Training Guide and I love it. I've seen really great reviews and you only work out for 28 minutes a day. She also has a diet guide that you can purchase. Its a little pricey so I purchased mine on Ebay for a lot cheaper. Like I said I just started, but I can tell that this is really going to work. I hope you can find a way to get motivated and get the results you want! You can do this!

I have used my fitness pal to help me watch what I eat. I Jane gained 30lbs in the past year on top of the 40 I had been bouncing back and forth with. My one thing is, don't start of huge. Take small steps like. Hey this month I plan on losing 5lbs and cut out this one food. If you try too much at one time you are guaranteed to fail. Good luck on this. I have to get back into the groove but lost so much ambition suet several deaths in my family.

Swimming is a good way to lose weight. Also, it is not that boring.

Try to drink lots of water and cut out soda and other sugary drinks- I did that and lost 10 lbs. Also limit drinking alcohol. I noticed a big difference also when I made protein the main portion of my meal. For lunch have a salad with chicken, dressing on the side! Dinner have meat with a vegetable and if you need a starch, stick to measuring 1 cup, this should be a good portion size. If I don't have the motivation to work out, I'll do jumping jacks and squats during commercials when I'm watching tv... sounds funny but you can actually feel it the next day!

This may sound crazy but go out an buy workout clothes. But the trick is really really cute workout clothes. It is going to be spendy but i promise you it is worth it. If you get clothes that you love you will want to wear them and therefore you workout. Go for a run, bike...whatever you want, just GO. That is what i did and it got me motivated to get to the gym 5 days week. To keep it going for every xxx Lbs you lose get something new. I personally set mine at 5 lbs lost = new top or shorts.

Sites i like....Lululemon, Fabletics, Lucy, Victoria Secret, Forever 21...it's endless
