OK, Maelstromers and anyone else who cares to join! Instead of bogging down "THE" thread, this'll be our place to be cheerleaders for one another as we meet our own weight loss/get healthy goals!!!! We'll BRAG all we want!
We'll be uplifting and supportive and unabashed. We'll just choose whatever diet works for us individually and STICK with it! But most of all, "we'll have so much FREAKIN' fun, we'll be whistling ZIPPaDEdoDaH out of our NEW skinny selves..."
I am choosing to do South Beach because I have had great success on it before. Low Carb/High Protein to me literally means the RIGHT carbs and fats and proteins. I am on the Phase I for the next 2 weeks where if followed I can expect to lose between 8-12 pounds, and not be hungry. Its been 2 days and two pounds are gone. I had lost a lot of weight 5 years ago and had kept it nicely under control until late in my pregnancy with my 2 year old, Norah, and after her birth my weight has steadily crept up 30 pounds. Which is mortifying for me. The icing on the cake was the FREE DINING back in September, I am sure. All I know is I have to have a full tummy because nothing undermines weight loss more than that desire to eat right after Ive already head a meal!
On this program I am not going to eat white bread, rice, or pasta. Which is very easy for ME because I get very sick when I eat too much sugar in one sitting. White bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta spike my blood sugar faster than table sugar. So sweets are not my problem. I usually graze on chips- little portions but frequently. Easy to do when Im sitting in front of the computer!
Which brings me to exercise!
UGGG! I hate to take the time to do this! So far Ive just been walking briskly around my neighborhood, but I dont really enjoy it. Im SO not going to waste money and join a gym .again! I ordered a few dvds that look fun from the library. I dont want to buy them because I want to make sure Ill like them before buying and I like a lot of variety.
My Goals:
1. 30 pounds in 6 months is my weight loss goal. (Ill re-evaluate this, but a minimum 30)
2. Become healthier through eating right and exercise
3. Get back into my size 9/10s and look HOT in a bikini by Summer 2007!!!!
