I made it!

Bananas, fruit, veggies, soup... I sort of ended up liking the diet in a weird way. The first day was a challenge but after that it seemed to have gotten easier. Although I would love a piece of pastry (of some sort), I'm motivated at the fact that I lost 9lb as of Monday. It would have been nice to have lost 17lb but 9 will do for now. I'm continuing the diet until Wednesday in hopes to lose a few more pounds.

I asked some of you how it went and some didn't lose any weight. For those that didn't, did you measure yourself? Did you check to see if you lost any inches? If you followed the diet EXACTLY you should have lost something. (whether it be inches or weight) So don't be discouraged and measure yourself if you didn't lose weight. Others have recently started the diet and I want to encourage you to stay focus and don't think about "how hungry you are," I found myself doing that and to be honest I normally wouldn't do that....don't think about it, just do it! (as Nike says)..lol

Let's stay focused and continue working out(as you all have been) and focus on portion control and actually being conscious of what we eat.I know Natalie has posted a few links on her site as to how to read food labels. Check it out and be sure to ask her for guidance if you're unsure of some things. I'm sure she will have no problem assisting you all. I will start to post some recipes you all can try that are quick and easy. This could help with weight loss as well. Stay tuned.....


Stay focused, encouraged and motivated. Working out should be a part of life not a chore. (and I know for some if feels that way) Encourage friends to join you for a neighborhood walk or invite them to Curves and have them tryout the circuit or Zumba class.

With that said... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
