Thanks everyone! I appreciate it so much! Since I've gotten a few emails asking about tips or the secret (of which there really is none I assure you! lol!) I thought I would just post these five things I came up with!


1.) No snacking after dinner. If I am absolutely ravenous I make it an incredibly healthy snack which means it grows out of the ground and has a stem!

2.) I stopped all fast food. Even when I was in a hurry, I figured out ways to make fast meals healthy. There are always way around taco bells and Micky D's! Even counting calories and figuring it into my daily calories, I noticed a difference when I cut that junk out entirely.

3.) I LOVE baking. But I more excuses to bake for other people and less excuses to have things at home.

4.) Yoga and cardio dvds are my go to for exercise. I love the 10 minute solution DVDS since you do as much or as little as you want. My two favorites are: 10 Minute Solution Yoga and 10 Minute Solution Carb Burner. But they have other great ones like kick boxing, pilates and target toning that are awesome! If you have netflix and a wii you are set because they are all on your instant queue!

5.) Keep going. You are going to have bad moments. You are going to go over your calories, go under. Its life. Don't beat yourself up. I'm one to talk, but I got back up on the saddle. My body apparently despises me and does everything to self destruct. I have had 5 strokes and have multiple other health issues and this was the ONE thing I wanted back under control. Took a while, but its finally there. You can do it. Don't give up just because it takes time. Most things worth something take time... )

Thanks everyone! Feel free to email me if you want! ) God bless!
