I took a medication that made me gain weight really fast. I gained 60 pounds in two months then over time I gained another 20. I don't take that medication anymore. I also had bad habits. Like drinking soda and sugary drinks. I started seeing a dietitian and she is telling how I should be eating. I stopped drinking soda and sugary drinks altogether. Although today I had a Coke Zero because I love soda so much, but i would drink regular Coke so going to Coke Zero is a big change for me. It didn't taste as good to me so I've decided not to drink it anymore. I've lost 10 pounds so far and my first visit to the dietitian was on February 23rd. I also have a health coach thru my insurance and he gives me a lot of good advice. We talk about twice a month. I walk half an hour every day during my 15 minute breaks at work. I go for a 15 minute walk so it totals to half an hour. My health coach says that research shows that half an hour a day is all you need and it can be broken up in two 15 minute walks or 3 10 minute walks. I was doing a half an hour at home but I have two small children and I just couldn't continue with it at home. So I'm loosing about 1.6 pounds a week. My dietitian told me I was to loose 1.5 pounds a week. So I'm a little bit ahead. In a month I lost 6.5 pounds. So If I keep up the way I'm eating (which is 1414 calories a day) I should loose 78 pounds by February next year. It sounds too good to be truth but I'm hopeful to loose the weight. My goal is 118-115. That was my weight before.
