I have always been very active, and ate whatever I wanted. Never had to worry about it. Til the last two years or so. Here is how I lost the weight I wanted and keep it off.<BR/>I do NOT eat after 7 o'clock at night. Your body does not have time to burn the calories off before you go to bed. I eat breakfast every morning.try and eat 1 hour after you get up. Activa yogaurt is good for you, it will help regulate your digestive system. I like the vanilla with granola on top,with a cup of coffee. Or I will fix one scrambled egg, two pieces of bacon and a piece of wheat toast, light butter NOT margarine. I have a small snack around 10 o clock, they have all those 100 calorie packs. I eat lunch, I eat whatever I want just smaller portions. I do avoid fast foods. I will eat them occasionally, but not if I can hekp it. I don't drink soda, I will drink water with crystal light the energy one really works. Pick a flavor there are alot! Dinner before 7 !! If I can't eat before then I eat something like a salad nothing to fatty. It is important to keep eating, it will help the weight come off. If you starve yourself your body will start breaking down muscle and start feeding on itself. Plus then when you are hungry you are more likely to eat more. Smaller portions more often. I also get a B-12 shot once a week. It helps speed up your metabolism. Good luck I know how difficult it can be. How hard it is to stay motivated. Shape mag has some pretty good menus in there. Let me know if I can help you in any way! Oh yeah and Carmen Electra strip tease aerobics! I am being serious! If you feel sexy you will feel motivated!Train Wreckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935319684656879210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703859724691339626.post-81993848196700752412008-08-29T13:13:00.000-05:002008-08-29T13:13:00.000-05:00Try starting with small goals and working from the...Try starting with small goals and working from there. If you start with big goals and don't achieve them you just get dissappointed and lose the motivation. My problem was time equipment. I could buy a gym membership but never got around to going. Find what your main set back is and work around it. I have now got into hooping (Don't laugh, I'm totally serious) because it's cheap, it's a hula hoop, it works the abs, it's aerobic, the kid can do it with me, it can be done in the house, there's a dvd that walks you through it and you can different level dvd's though Netflix. Oh and as for needing to get a new line of clothing, hoops stick better to bare skin, it works best naked. It just doesn't get any easier than that now does it? Just remember to close the shades...MichelleSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452831993197394668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703859724691339626.post-10887049161116038632008-08-29T12:27:00.000-05:002008-08-29T12:27:00.000-05:00Jamie girl!

I know you have at least a couple 4-legged walking buddies at your house! I'm there for ya Girlie!<BR/><BR/>Kate ~ Thanks for the link there was a lot of really helpful information there. I'm going to have to go over it somemore when I get home from work in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Bekah ~ Thanks for the suggestions. It's no fun to walk by yourself (like I had been doing up until we got our second dog) now I've got a new 4-legged walking partner. Know I've just got to stay motivated to keep going for walks.BITR Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439193862175245432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703859724691339626.post-30767656744178425702008-08-29T07:48:00.000-05:002008-08-29T07:48:00.000-05:00hey i dont really have a lot of advice for this......hey i dont really have a lot of advice for this...haha i think we both know I should not be telling anyone how to lose weight! BUT here is what i can tell you, drink a lot of water...thats just plain good for you. Walk more...take a half hour walk in the evenings, or on your lunch break. Im not even going to touch the subject of food because Ive taken that to the extreme! Good luck on your healthy quest!Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037471560725774085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703859724691339626.post-31217991490456495812008-08-29T07:42:00.000-05:002008-08-29T07:42:00.000-05:00Hey girlie!

I was going to get back to running right before I got stepped on by the horse. Trying to get the foot well and my wrist is hurt. I use that as an excuse but really, does running involve your wrist! What makes me so disgusted is I know everything I need to do because I've done it before. And I am just being LAZY! So we can motivate each other! I'm there for ya!The Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938837778452220569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6703859724691339626.post-67197529459113758682008-08-29T06:51:00.000-05:002008-08-29T06:51:00.000-05:00:) From your sidebar it looks like you've found a ...:) From your sidebar it looks like you've found a lot of the support you're looking for. Next week the two holiday weight loss challenges will become pretty active, and in September I'll be posting some relating to The Biggest Loser Season 6.<BR/><BR/>We're all struggling, and it gets difficult at times.
