Quote From: xplay25When I am trying to lose weight, I always do Fit For Life. This of course, is less of a temporary diet plan and more of a life strategy. It is the most healthy thing I've ever done for my body, and when utilizing it's guidelines responsibly, you can lose a massive amount of weight. Now, I will admit, I did abuse the protein/fat allowances(anyone on Atkins knows what I'm talking about), and that is why it took two years for me to lose sixty pounds. But in theory, I could have lost one hundred and twenty, easily! If I had of excersized three times a week, ate less, drank more water, and cut back on flesh products, I could have been healthier than I was. However, there are always could have's and would have's, the point is that you made drastic changes for you, for your health. Always do it for you, not for anyone else. And let me tell you folks, when there is a will, there is a way! Your willpower is imparative to your success as a dieter. My day to day life of what I believe to be proper food combining(tested and approved in my own body, thanks Harvey, Marilyn) and drinking water, made a profound difference on my health.
However, two years, and I threw it all away. I gained it all back, and probably a bit more. Not because of the way I was eating, I was more than content with that, as an individual, but, because I decided to give in to indulgence. Simple as that. I blame myself for that, I accept that, and now I'm about to change things forever. This time, excersize and proper portion control will be fundamental. I've been highly successful in the past, and I can do it again!
My advice is, whatever your method, just keep going. Just know that if you quit now, six months down the road you might be thinking, "why?! Why did I let this happen?!" That's what I'm thinking now, my friends. I've learned my lesson, thoroughly. I cannot afford to quit again. I am 17 years old, and probably 260lbs or more! I don't look at scales, they torment me, so I just stay away from those. They aren't good for me, I just go by the differences I see from day to day, instead of obsessing over specifc numbers. That can break you faith, folks. That can break your willpower faster you'd believe, if you haven't yet experienced it.
What an awesome and yet sad story. Too have gained it all back - but my friend you inspire me and I'm very proud of you If you can do it then so can I and I don't need to lose near that much!!
You go girl! I'm willing to be with you everystep of the way if you want a buddy, let me know.
I agree, it's a lifestyle and drinking lots of water helps but even more important is get moving. Whatever exercise works for you do it, and do it every day if possible.
