I Need to Loose Weight

Healthy Habits

By: CagedRaven
Written on July 1st, 2009

I am overweight. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have lower back problems. I need to lose weight. I have an 8 month old grandson that I would like to get down on the floor to play with. I need to lose weight. I eat a lot of salads and drink a lot of water. But I only eat two meals a day (I tend to skip breakfast), and often times I eat my second meal or an unhealthy snack late at night before going to bed. I do little to no exercise. I know it's serious, but I get discouraged so easily. I tried for years to get the weight off, and when all my effort brought little or no change, I gave up. At least now, I can say I'm overweight for lack of trying. But I have to get serious about it and lose the weight. I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror. There's a slimmer, fitter me inside, and I really do what her to come out.

    If you want to lose it the healthy way, Advocare is definitely the way to go! I'm 5'3 and was 170 pounds and I didn't look right because I was so short. Long story short, I did the challenge and now I'm down to 123. I encourage you to try this life changing weight loss program...you will not only lose weight, you will have lots of energy! Once you lose the weight, there's also a business side to this...your friends and family will definitely ask how you did it and that will give you the opportunity to share this awesome experience with them and make 20-40% off of customers you bring in. www.advocare.com/120710588 or text/call for more information

    If your looking to lose weight I think it would be beneficial for you to start an herbalife weight loss program. Basically you drink two healthy meal replacement shakes a day in place of two of your ordinary meals. Feel free to visit herbalife.com and my free webstore site http://www.freewebstore.org/lawrenceherbalife to get some information. Feel free to contact me with any questions or interest you may have. My name is Nick by the way

    Thanks Blumax. I printed out your list and posted it on my fridge. I'll let you know how it's going.

    Absolutely! I'd love to hear back from you. Any fruit that you like will work. Just get something in from each of the different food types a day, and you're on the right path! I wish you all the best!



    Stay in there, and EAT BREAKFAST! :) Hugs!

    Thanks blumax, that is so very helpful. My daughter is a fitness instructor and health and wellness specialist and she has been telling me for some time to eat breakfast. I've been trying to eat a little oatmeal, but I find food in the morning makes me feel sick like I want to throw up.



    I don't eat fruits much at all. For some reason I have developed a dislike for most of them, and a strong attraction to vegetables. But I am 215lbs at only 5'1'' and I'm 50 years old. I will try your method and see how it helps.



    I will incorporate this into my weight loss challenge and keep you posted with my progress if that's ok with you.

    I can only tell you what worked for me. That and the fact I LOVE spending time with my 5 year old grandson.



    #1. You MUST eat breakfast to get your metabolism moving in the morning. (Try a fiber one bar - they taste great!)



    #2. Eat a juicy piece of fruit or yogurt about 10 am.



    #3. Eat your protien at lunch, and never larger portion size than your fist. This should be your biggest meal of the day. Eat slow and enjoy it!!



    #4. Eat the other of fruit or yogurt you didn't eat at 10 in the morning at 2 in the afternoon.



    #5. Never eat any meal past 6:00 at night. Your last meal of the day should be like a lite lunch would be normally.



    Eat as much salad, vetables, etc as you would like, anytime.



    I went from 208 to 144 in 3 months following this diet. I even started walking daily too! I'm 5'9" tall, and love being a healthy, happy grandmother at 47!!



    Best of Luck to you and keep in touch!!
