How to Lose Weight

I am 150 pounds. I stand 5′2 inches tall. I am 28 years old and I am female. I just had a baby in November and I didn’t gain much weight but this is a far cry from the 98 pounds that I weighed when I graduated from high school ten years ago.

I would like to lose around 20 pounds. I do not want to go back to being stick skinny because I have learned to embrace my curves, but I would like to be able to look in the mirror and be happy.

I think that it would also make it easier for me to find clothes and for them to fit like how they are supposing to.

I find myself buying clothes to hide behind. I do not think that I will diet but I would like to start eating and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Continue reading »

As a child I was very thin. I never had any problem with weight until I was in my thirties. Then my body changed and everything I eat seems to turn to fat.

After my third child in three years all of that changed. I have tried all kinds of diets but I tier of all of them.

The TWA airline diet, the MetaFast diet, Weight Watchers, counting calories, counting carbs, Akins diet, the Ice Cream diet, Dexatrim, Cabbage diet, Banana diet etc. On all them I lose some weight for awhile then I can no longer stay on the diet and all the weight comes back. Continue reading »

I am a woman who finished high school at a tiny 5′5″ and 105 lbs. I managed to maintain that weight in my freshman year of college, but when I got married, the pounds piled on. At my heaviest, I was 150 lbs.

I knew I could never make it back to 105, especially after I dealt with an eating disorder in college. So I set my goal weight at 135.

After Christmas was over, I decided to do something about my weight. I joined SparkPeople and started tracking my calorie intake. At first I was too ambitious. I tried to lose too much weight too fast, and I couldn’t handle being hungry all the time. Continue reading »

I have tried since the birth of my fourth son to lose weight. This is one of the hardest endeavors I have ever encountered. I currently weight about 190 pounds and am five foot seven inches tall.

I am a female who is approximately thirty seven years old. I wish to lose about 35 pounds, or seven five pound bags of sugar. When I say it that way, I feel even worse about myself!!!

I have tried Weight Watchers, but I have not been consistent. It is difficult trying to juggle a full time job, a family, a household to run, and a diet to manage. I realize I need to change my entire way of life.

Instead of reaching for that bowl of ice cream or that glass of wine when I am stressed out, I need to get up and exercise. It is difficult!!! Continue reading »
