I've always had trouble with my weight. When I was 23/24, I lost a lot of weight. I weighed 160 pounds and looked good. A couple years later, I got pregnant with my first son, and unfortunately, I didn't have a fifty pound baby. I tried here and there, but I never lost that weight. Three years later, I became pregnant with my second son, and although I did better, I didn't have a thirty pound son either. When I went to my four week appointment in May, I weighed 220 pounds. Obviously, I wasn't happy, so I decided to do something about it. I started watching what ate, lost 10 pounds, and then joined dietbet.com. I really like this website; it keeps me motivated. I now weigh 183.8 pounds. I have around 20 more pounds to go. I did it once, and I know I can do it again. How? For one, I watch what I eat. I eat smaller portions, less carbs, less processed food, hardly any fast food or soda, lots of water, and I don't eat it unless I really like it. That was a problem of mine. I would eat things until they were gone even if I didn't really like it. I would feel unsatisfied and eat more. Bad Idea! Secondly, I workout. I have just challenged myself to workout everyday for six weeks to both Jillian Michaels' fitness videos (burn fat boost metabolism and six week six pack). So far, I have done it for three days and have lost three pounds. The videos are on youtube. Give it a try. Finally, I keep a list of things I need to do each day. Checking tasks off a list helps keep me focused. If anything sounds like something that would benefit you. Please try it. Good luck to you and to me!
