I've dropped 7 lbs since starting the Suppreme 90 and I feel different/better already. Its my own fault for letting the weight creep back and and it will be ALL ME in getting it off. I had gotten almost "normal" sized and then I let myself go AGAIN. I refuse to have to hold my breath to tie my shoes again - that is so not happening. Everytime I think of putting something bad in my mouth I think of how crappy I will feel after about myself for cheating and then how rotten it would be not to tie my own shoes and its working pretty well thus far.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952196768459561867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-86326882235416834442011-11-01T12:32:43.111-04:002011-11-01T12:32:43.111-04:00Well said Mrs!

She talks often of making choices by default and what is easiest, instead of making choices knowledgeably. I think so often we get lazy and do what is easiest not what is best or right for us.

To get different results (LOSING weight instead of GAINING it), you have to take different actions--diets flat out don't work, making a change in your lifestyle to eat healthier and exercise regularly does. Easy as that, and hard as that too. People want to know how I've lost weight, and I've seen the shoulders droop and eyes glaze over, too, when they find out my 'secret' is no secret at all.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794334786555278616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-58816737738558914712011-10-29T00:02:41.796-04:002011-10-29T00:02:41.796-04:00You are so right.

These are a bunch of woman who lose 2lbs one week and gain 3 the next, with an "oh, well, I'll try to get it back off next week" attitude. Yet at the same time they get "so frustrated" that the scale isn't being nice. They think I've done something I won't tell them about. They always want my meal plans for the week. They want to know exactly what exercises I do. Honestly... figure it out! It's not rocket science! So they just keep complaining about it and I get NO support from them, great group huh? Anyhow, congrats on NOT pulling a fat roll, I've been there, lol! You're an awesome and motivational person, and I'm so lucky to be on this journey with you : )hollyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599122252238787250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-70150589431888020392011-10-28T10:45:37.181-04:002011-10-28T10:45:37.181-04:00Agree with...everything, I think!

I work out often and hard, but I enjoy it. I'm making changes, but it doesn't happen over night.<br /><br />Sometimes I think "just keep swimming", like Dory in Finding Nemo you know?

I did really well last spring and early summer. The second part of summer until now hasn't been so great. I have different excuses though - I don't mind the sweat, I don't consider fruits, veggies and other healthy food to be deprivation, and I look forward to Zumba days with an enthusiasm that makes me worry about my sanity.<br /><br />For me, lately, the problem has been allowing everything else to come first. My plans for healthy eating & exercise go straight out the window when time gets short. I'm not sure how to fix it though. Somehow even though I know that my health is important, everything I try to do for me takes a back burner to everything I do for others.<br /><br />You've made me think today Mrs., and I don't think I like the thoughts I'm having.

Looking back on ho...This couldn't be more true. Looking back on how bad I let myself get, I just can't believe the answers were all there in front of me. It is actually easier to spend an hour-ish per day working out than it is to spend every waking hour in discomfort from obesity and yet more and more Americans are letting this happen. Why? Well most would probably use the same excuses you mentioned. "I don't like sweat" - if only they could feel the awesome feeling I feel after a good solid workout. It releases all the stress and toxins and gives you that feeling of accomplishment that can't be beat. Why I didn't want that in the past is beyond me. <br /><br />Do I look forward to every workout? No, but I don't have a choice in the matter so I just do it and I always, ALWAYS feel great when it's done without fail. Seems like a small price to pay given the great rewards it has given in return.<br /><br />Great blog. You make me proud!The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
