FINALLY seeing progress!
I tried something new this week. It’s pretty revolutionary, if you ask me. Sit down. Take notes. Ready?
Eat less. Move more.
No really, it’s that simple.
In my last blog, I mentioned that maid of honor dress I need to fit into (comfortably, might I add) on October 11th. I decided to cut myself to 1,200-1,400 cals a day. Starting this past Sunday, I’ve been pretty diligent in following that. Lots of fruits, a few veggies (still not a big fan; I consume what I can tolerate) some whole grains and protein/dairy galore. I’ve gotten at least 30mins of activity each day, generally closer to an hour…and I’ve been splitting it up between morning and evening. (I really do feel that taking a 30 minute stroll post dinner makes a WORLD of difference.) I stayed up late last night, so I skipped the workout today…but decided to see what my last 5 days of honestly healthy living have done for me.
I woke up, and immediately grabbed my tight jean capris. These puppies have been haunting me all summer. I could barely get them up over my big ol’ thighs and belly. Well today folks, I hoisted up those bad boys, and zipped them up NO PROBLEM! The scale can only tell you so much. Jeans? Those are the real measure of success or failure.
Of course, I still had to step on the scale.
Down 4lbs!
Pills, potions, endless diet books; I’m done.
Eat less, move more. Eat less crap. Eat more natural stuff.
It works people, really! =)
(I wish they made an emoticon that’s nothing more than a hand flipping the bird. Because THAT’S what I’d be inserting right here…directed at the entire diet industry!)

Congrats on the 4 lbs!!
I agree with you 100%! Losing it the natural way with eating right and exercise is the way to go.
Yahhhh - dump those pills, potions and books.
I does work and you will keep it off permanently.
Good job and keep at it.
Way to go you! That’s awesome! It’s what’s been working for me and I too would like on of those little icons to send to the diet industry! lol
CONGRATS!!!
You’ve been reading my mind! I call it my “EEK!”
system.
Eat healthy. (low fat, high fiber & protein)
Exercise. ( 1 hour, 6 days a week)
Keep portions in check. (I use child size dishes)
It’s not fast, but there is no ‘D’ word to fall off of. I have to stay at 1200 a day (or 20 points) because of my age. Metabolism slows way down after 65. Too bad I didn’t do this 50 years ago.
Great blog! Four pounds - you go girl!
Eat less and move more - I’m gonna follow that advice now for the rest of my day. Thanks!!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Great job girl! That’s the same thing that I am trying to do. The hardest thing is sticking with it for the long haul, but it’s also the most rewarding. Four pounds, that is amazing!
Great job. You nailed it right on the head. Pills, diets… it took me about two years to figure out that lots of people were getting richer and I was not getting any thinner. Keep up the fight and way to go on the jeans victory. I just recently had a jeans victory the other day and I may have been more excited those the olympic athletes winning gold, so I know what you are talking about.
Thats awesome Kelly!! And what a simple way to sum up the most effective weight loss tool ever! Every diet ive ever tried has just left thinking about food all the time or just plain hungry.
Good for you…you will be fitting comfortably in that brides maid dress in no time. You should be proud of yourself for getting into those capri’s
YOU ARE THE “SUSAN POWTER” of BuddySlim!!!! and are of course ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.You Nailed it!!!Way to go with the jeans!!!Horray!!
Great job, congrats on losing 4 pounds and getting comfy in your capris. Your hard work is paying off, you are going to look great in your dress come October. Keep up the good work.
