Whatever you do, do what works best for YOU!

I am not an expert at weight loss or fitness what so ever...but I truly believe if you make changes that work for you, you will see the results you want!

I have lost about 35 lbs since March 18, 2015. I still have another 15 lbs I'd like to lose. I was judged by the way I had lost it by many people....

•I used slim fast shakes to help cut down calories- although I have removed them from my diet... they sure did help me! It wasn't a quick fix or a magic drink... it just helped to cut the calories that's it. Some people told me I wouldn't keep the weight off once I stopped...others said I wouldn't have people respect me for going at it that way.
-whatever-

• if you are in a habit of fast food dining... and you are consuming their food 2-3 times a day... and suddenly drop it to once a day...then to once every few days... to maybe once a week-depending on busy schedule- you will see a change in your health and appearance probably.
-That was me... and I was at the time ok with that lifestyle. It worked for me...but then I wanted to see a change in my appearance-lose weight...so I started limiting my fast food intake
• I also started to watch my food portions... I made small changes here as well.... at restaurants only eating half the meal.
• I'm writing all this because I was asked yesterday how people could make a lifestyle change and stick to it for the rest of their life if they are still consuming processed foods.... it made me stop to think about the question....
• who is to say that my lifestyle isn't something I can stick with?- it's working for me now...I'm ok with consuming processed foods in my diet....I never claimed that I was a 100% whole food eater....did I?
• to be on a lifestyle change maybe you just have to change your lifestyle right? Small changes will add up....trust me, I have done that....
I hope this all motivates someone.... if you feel you are doing what is best for you and making a change to see a change well than all power to you!!! Don't let any bully you into thinking you are not doing something right- however if they are offering advise to help you and you take it than awesome! Constructive criticism is amazing!
