haven’t posted progress pics in a while! there’s a 90lb difference between the top 2 pics.. and the bottom two are some more before pics!

that first before pic is from when i used to jog every night, but never lost any weight bc i didn’t change my diet at all. i yo-yo’d like that for a while, i’d jog, get upset i wasn’t losing weight, then stop jogging. then i’d try jogging again.. always eventually giving up because i made no progress. 

“you can’t outrun a bad diet”, weight loss is 90% done in the kitchen.

What Are the Biggest Reasons Diets Fail?

The average American dieter makes 4-6 dieting attempts per year. Clearly that means the first…and second…and third attempt weren’t successful. It’s a vicious circle of demotivation that leaves many feeling like they cannot succeed without superhuman tenacity.

Maybe you are ready to throw in the (oversized) towel on dieting for good.

Don’t be. Take a minute to look at the four reasons why most diets fail, and then find a diet plan that bypasses these pitfalls. Soon you will find yourself on track to optimal success.

Let’s look at the four key factors.

1. Unrealistic Calorie Intakes

The “starvation mode” method only sets you up to fail. By consuming so little food, your body literally starts shutting down to conserve fuel.

When this happens, you are on a one-way path to a fat loss plateau. Yes, you should lower calorie intake to see fat loss results, but you need to do it in a way that maintains your “metabolic engine”.

2. Lack Of Satiety-Boosting Nutrients

Another big issue with most conventional diets is they fail to provide enough of the two most filling nutrients: protein and fiber. You need protein to function optimally. It’s also breaks down slowest, providing the body with lasting satiety.

Couple protein with dietary fiber, found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and digestion will slow even further.

Many crash diet plans are very low in protein. While they recommend lots of vegetables, many discourage the consumption of fruit.

By making these two nutrients a focus of your plan instead, you can see faster, lasting results while actually enjoying your diet meal plan.

3. Time Consuming Meal Prep

Who has an hour each and every day to meal prep? Not me — and definitely not you. Yet, many diet plans are complicated enough to require this. If that describes your diet, it’s no wonder if you’re failing.

Alternatively, you want to find an approach that gives you basic and easy-to-implement guidelines that help you realize true success with your program.

This plan should not require hours of extra effort each week. In that case, it’s stealing free time that you should use to reward yourself for good behavior. It should work with your lifestyle, not against it. When you find such a plan, it’ll be cake to stick with it.

4. Long-Term Approach

Chances are you’ve heard that any diet plan you use should follow a long-term approach.

That’s excellent advice.

However, if your diet plan is designed to span months, this can be a motivation killer.

Find a diet with a definite deadline. Two weeks is optimal because that’s how long it takes to form long-term habits. Two weeks is also a long enough to see good results, but not short enough to stay motivated.

Is Phentermine REALLY worth the risk & side effects?!

According to Livestrong, the side effects of Adipex are extremely dangerous.  And YES – it works.  But look at this laundry list of side effects.  

It is a highly addictive AMPHETAMINE.

Can lead to severe respiratory and cardiovascular damage that is often irreversible.

Can cause hallucinations

Can cause abnormal behavior.  (because it’s a DRUG)

Has severe withdrawal symptoms

Can lead to infections of the skin and organs.

Can severely damage sexual libido and sexual organs.

Can raise cholesterol in patients with no history of cholesterol problems.

The FDA issues a warning for Adipex and strongly recommends that it not be taken for more than 3 months and ONLY for patients with no heart or health history who are severely overweight.

Don’t Be Duped! — 3 “Diet Foods” Guaranteed to Sabotage Your Health

Are you putting 100% into your diet program, but feel like you’re getting 0 results?

Many people find themselves in this pickle. They work hard, hold on to their diet strategy like bulldog, but fail to see the transformation they wanted. Hopes were high, but the scale just isn’t going downward.

What gives?

Often, the problem is not effort or motivation. The issue is that they are incorporating certain foods in their diet plan that are actually not diet foods at all. The diet industry is big business, and unfortunately many companies market their products as healthy, even though they are counter-productive options.

What are these foods? Here are three problem foods you need to cut from your diet immediately.

Fruit Flavored Yogurts

Fruit flavored yogurts are a favorite among many dieters, but many fail to see them for what they are: pint-sized sugar bombs. Individual yogurt packs have gotten unhealthier and unhealthier, while their reputation as a go-to diet food has regrettably survived.

Next time you’re picking out your favorite yogurt, double check the sugar content. You might be surprised to find there are 15+ grams of sugar per serving.

Of course you can purchase the sugar-free varieties, but then you’ll be consuming unwanted artificial sweeteners, which can be just as bad for you.

Instead, opt for plain Greek yogurt. Flavor it yourself by adding a handful of fresh berries.

Fat-Free Products

Beware of any product marketed as ‘fat free’. These products proudly label themselves as fat-free, and that very well may be true.

But ask yourself, if the fat is removed, what has been added? Time and again, the fat content has been substituted with something just as undesirable.

Often that means heaps of sugar.

If you are trying to lose body fat, sugar is just as bad — if not worse — than fat is.

Protein Bars

The last problem food to be wary of is the protein bar, despite its prevalence in many diet programs and meal plans. These may seem like a great option because they contain protein,  but once again you have to look a little closer.

Check that sugar content. Most protein bars have upwards of 15 grams of sugar per bar. Some contain 30 and even 40 grams.

In actuality, these are glorified chocolate bars. While you can buy a few bars with very low sugar content (five grams or less per bar), these will require a little searching.

Sadly, many dieters are blissfully unaware of these three problem foods. Are any of them in your current diet?

4 great tips on how to lose weight the RIGHT way!!! Great read!

4 steps for healthy weight loss

These steps allowed me to lose almost 40 lbs in 4 months. While everyone’s situation is different, and these may not do the trick for all of you, I hope this post will be able to help some of you.

Step 1: Cut out ALL sugary beverages. Soda, coffee, and booze. This was hard for me because, at the time of my life change, I was pretty addicted both to Pepsi and to alcohol. But I had tried diet and exercise without cutting out sugary drinks before and it just DID NOT WORK. You can work these things back in in moderation when you’re trying to maintain, but make the commitment now.

Step 2: Eat balanced meals. Every day try to make sure you’re eating the recommended proportions of food. For me, this meant cutting WAY down on carbs and increasing my protein intake. This also means adjusting based on what you’ve already eaten, so if you have a carb heavy breakfast don’t eat carbs with lunch.

Step 3: Move your body. Even just a little. I started with an ap called 8fit that does really short, low intensity workouts that you can fit into your everyday routine. Once the workouts got easier for me I started doing 3-5 a day and increased my intensity level. This method really worked for me. When I started I couldn’t do 20 jumping jacks without calling it quits and within 6 weeks I could do 100+.

Step 4: If you screw up, don’t even think about it. This is something you’re doing for yourself and you need to have a mindset that you are doing it because you enjoy it. If you punish yourself when you eat too much or skip a workout, you’ll change your mindset to negative and get in the way of your own progress. Eat that slice of cake, go to the movies with friends instead of the gym, live your life! Do what you have to do to maintain the healthy attitude.

That’s sit. Seriously. You can do this. I hope this helps.

Guess who just ran a mother fuggin 5k!!!!

That’s right! I didn’t plan to, but I was close and just wanted to push through. It took a while (45 minutes) but I did it!!!

I never ever ever thought this would happen. A few years ago I couldn’t even run for 90 seconds without being miserable. And here I am running for 3 miles.

Today. I am proud.
