I just ate alot of fruits and veggies up to about 10 a day, cut out alot of sweets (I do treat myself to very SMALL portions still) drank lots of water and exercise, I hate it but I found something I really enjoy doing and I was doing it my whole life but not on a daily basis, dancing, just like I would do if I were out to a club, and the weight just fell off, every day for about 20 minutes and crunches. My doctor cannot believe it, he called me his poster child because he always knew me as being overweight. I do have a few recipes that I used to get me along, when I get a chance I will post them. Right now, I have to log off, get my butt off the couch, and do my workout, good luck to everyone. |
Val,
I just want to congratulate you on your accomplishment. You have
the right attitude. I hope you get where you want to be. Your right,
dancing is a great way to drop the pounds. Since I stopped clubbing
10yrs ago that's exactally the 12lbs I've been hauling around. It's
something to think about. Wonder how my downstair neighbor will
react if I start boogieing in the living room.
