The secret of my weight loss
Replies

960 days of doing it one day at a time right?!
Great job and good info. Thanks for sharing. You are right, it's no secret and it doesn't happen overnight.0 -
We are all very proud of you. You are so right. I've been on my journey for 3 years now. I still have 20 lbs to go, but I started at 14. I took me 40 years to put it all on and 3 years to take off 117. I've learned a lot in my journey, some good and some bad, but just like you, I know patience is the key.0

Amazing work! Goes to show it's not rocket science! Time & dedication, good food and fitness.
I've been learning how to eat for last few months now I building my strength and cardio abilities. Your msg shows me it's all worth it in time0 -
You are and look AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing. Patience....yes, I could use a healthy dose of that...and pizza, and chocolate, and....well, you get where I'm going with this.
LOVE IT!!!!0 -

Well said both you you!!!! I used to be like that...thinking that it's going to take such andsuch amount of time to lose the weight and when it doesn't happen....give up!!! I decided to take the approach that it took me 5-6 years to gain all that weight, so if it takes me a year to do it...that is still only a fraction of the time it took to put it on....if it takes 3 years...it' still a fraction. The point is to take it one day at a time. I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired!!!! So I pray every day that I won't give up!!!!!0 -
I love this post. Probably one of my favorite success stories I've read. Concise and effective!
I also am in the slooow boat to weight loss. Tiny deficits = me not starving or hating life. Still, I am seeing the weight come off.0 -
Fabulous work, fabulous attitude.0

I was fat after giving birth to my 6 kid
I am not anymore
How did I do it?
Eat food that I like but not all the time or in huge quantities.
Do exercise that I like as often as possible
.
What I didn’t do was
Use cleanses
Use pills
Have an all or nothing mentality
Changes everything all at once
Exercise for hours everyday.
Starve
I didn’t let the fact that I am short, have PCOS, Narcolepsy, single mom, tired (see PCOS and Narco), don’t feel like it, be reasons not to at least try everyday.
Expect it all to happen in 6 weeks.
Between the first and second pics, there is 960 days…..it might not be that impressive but I still got there and will go even further.
The secret to my success is PATIENCE. I didn’t lose weight or even inches for almost 10 months…..but pics taken every month showed that things were happening.
You're my hero.
Now am gonna be patient and keep eating things I like not all the the in small quantities and keep exercising doing the exercises I love and best of all I won't STARVE myself again. Never again.
Thanks a lot.0 -
You look amazing!
Love your attitude and your post.
But I have to ask, did you mean that you have six (6) children? Even more impressive!0 -
You picked the right day to post this with all of the fat flush/diet pill/raspberry keytone threads that are flying about today. Hopefully they'll see this and start down the right path!0

After all, PATIENCE is a virtue! Thanks for the pep talk.0

I really like this post, this is exactly what I have started this last time and it has made such a difference to me . I have tried to lose weight so many times...but always have a wrong mentality.0

I don't think there's a soul out there that would look at your stomach and then say "pssh. Did you hear how long it took her? Weak."
You look FABULOUS - and I love that you know it. Hurray for good decisions, patience, common sense, lifting, and sexy abs! Go you!
