AW: Weight loss :)

I am so excited! I am walking a wedding in a month and I bought a dress one size too small just so that I motivated myself to lose weight. Today I tried it on and fit! YAY :) Sorry I am just so excited. Now to work out my arms

Re: AW: Weight loss :)

  • You go girl!  That's awesome!  Keep up the great work Smile
  • Good Job Yocy. Now could you please pass some of your weight loss magic this way so that I can't lose some too?
  • ::sending dust your way::

    No really what helped me was chaning my eating habits. I start off the day with some high fiber cereal and greek yougurt. I make sure I eat snacks (apples, cheese slice) during the day. It keeps me fuller so I dont munch on crap and for dinner I am not starving.

  • My aunt sent me a recipe for this smoothie she drinks every morning for breakfast and dinner. I think I might try as a morning energy boost.

    Here is what she puts in one of them

    1cup water

    1/2 carrot

    2spoonfulls of crushed pineapple (from can)

    1/2 apple with skin on

    2 halves of a pear (from can)

    2 small pieces of avacado

    6-8 slices of cucumber

    1/2 banana

    blend it all in a blender and drink it as a morning shake. Sounds pretty good huh? and healthy. 

    I think I have lost a couple of pounds, since I have been watching my portion sizes.

  • It does sounds good. Portion control is the #1 way to lose weight. I have been using a salad plate for dinner, so that way I don't over eat
  • Congrat on the weight loss.

    LMAO You have a good excuse 

  • Congrats! That's awesome.  I'm starting to be more aware of how many carbs, sugar, and salt I eat during the day. 

    Eating on smaller plates has helped me so much. Also, I've started putting a piece of fruit with my dinner plate, so I have a health dessert. This has kept me out of the cookie/candie jar that I always go to after dinner.

  • Congrats!! Pegamelo pleeease! lol
