Today for instance I was able to do a mile in the morning and another at lunch but I just tried and could only do 5 minute, but something is better than nothing! :)Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-9501495128032114312015-10-15T20:06:57.298-07:002015-10-15T20:06:57.298-07:00First all Alicia I have to congratulate you on los...First all Alicia I have to congratulate you on losing continuously and following your diet plan!!!

Weight loss is something that takes time plus the fact that you are teaching yourself the right foods to eat. I know that I've bought some low carb tortillas and when I eat one I feel heavier the next day, so I only eat them once in a while as a treat, I know that my body can't handle certain foods, but I'm learning what works and what doesn't.<br /><br />Many years ago, when I was in my teens I begged my mom to take me to a doctor to get diet pills. Now mind you this was probably about 40 years ago, doctors weren't quite so careful about what they prescribed. The doctor gave me diet pills and I lost a ton of weight quickly, but I was also high most of the time (although I and my mother didn't know this). I couldn't sleep and was running around cleaning all night long. They were drugs, I shouldn't have been taking them, but we didn't know then what we know now. We felt if they were prescribed by a doctor then they must be ok right?<br /><br />I'm sure if that chef was losing weight and staying slim there was way more than just marijuana in his house!

One pound a week is the optimal weight ...Well done. One pound a week is the optimal weight loss rate. I know this from experience. Some years ago I was on a calorie count diet, and one pound a week was my goal. It was a very succesful diet. However, dieting depends a lot on what goes on in your life, and I had some bad chapters at that time. So, after a year or so, I went back to food comfort. It's stronger than our will.<br /><br />Here's a story about slimming.. There's a famous chef in my country that used to be very fat. Ten years ago he became slim and is still slim. He explained this by saying it was due to heaviy exercising. I didn't buy that and I was right. The police arrested a drug dealer and this chef was on the list of his clients .The police found at his home only a small quantity of marijuana for "personal use", so he got away with it. He's probably still on a bit of marijuana or some other drug which has slimming property.<br /><br />Anyway, Good Luck with your WOE !DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.com
