Chiming in here
Just gotta share my weight loss success. On February 14, 2011, the day before my b-day, I decided I needed to do something about my weight. I was tipping the scale at 184 and wearing a size 16. I kept blaming the weight gain on having kids. Well after 5 years, that excuse wasn't working anymore. I kept seeing weight watchers commercials with Jennifer Hudson and was contemplating about joining it but didn't want deal with extra expenses coming out of my "somewhat of a budget". After browsing around on the web I stumbled upon a site called Sparkpeople.com and it has totally changed my life. As of yesterday I have lost a total of 36lbs in about 5 months without ever stepping foot in a gym or costly weight loss centers.
The website has tools to help you reach your weight loss goals through tracking calories, fats, carbs, proteins, and other nutrients. Another added bonus is that it is a totally free program (of course you buy your own food). They have a suggested menu plan but I never used it. I pretty much eat what I want but I just cook it in a healthier way. I eat approximately 5 meals per day and drink the suggested 8 cups of water per day. I also exercise 30 minutes sometimes 3 or 5 days per week by walking on my treadmill or doing DVD's such as the Firm and Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (that's a killer). I am now practicing Yoga.
Not to sound like an infomercial, but If you really need help losing weight, Sparkpeople is the way to go!!!!! In the beginning it was a tedious process but now it is so easy and addictive. It's mobile and did I mention it was free
Oh yeah, I now wear a size 9/10
