    How to lose those pounds

    1.Reclaim power over your own life. Take an honest look at your current situation and own it. Acknowledge the choices you’ve made that haven’t served you and start making choices that do.

    2. Take before-and-after photos. That “before” picture will help you stay motivated throughout your weight-loss journey, and the “after” will be a thrill to take and share!

    3. Announce your plans. Tell your family and friends about your weight-loss goals. Sharing your goals and plan will enable you to recruit support and be held accountable. EH

    Thing I did to lose weight today: hurt my back pretty bad yesterday so no exercising today for me. But instead of ordering something out for dinner (since I really didn't feel like cooking) - I cooked anyway- paleo meatloaf with vegetable medley for a side.

    Congrats on everyone who loss weight this week.
    For those who seem to have a little set back or just can't seem to get motivated. Stop look back on how far you have come and imagine how great it will feel when you reach your goal. We all have those days when we are less motivated and feel like giving up. But thank God you did give in to self doubt and have stuck with it.
    Try changing things up like a different exercise or a new meal plan. Then seek out a buddy or friend that will help keep you on track and motivated. The holidays will soon be here and you want to feel great and look smoking hot.
    We can do this!

    You’re choosing healthy foods, you’re exercising, you’ve cut out your late-night cookie habit… But the number on the scale isn't budging. Sound familiar? This diet head-scratcher happens to the best of us. Weight loss is primarily a numbers game: calories in versus calories out. So choose nutritious foods, but count those calories!
    And remember, if you reward yourself with a treat equal in calories to the calories you burned, it's as if you never burned any calories at all.

    Also, your gym may promise that you’ll burn 500 calories with an hour of spinning, but every person is different -- you might burn just 300 calories. For the most accurate info, wear an activity monitor that tracks calorie burn.
    Even if you’re being super careful about your choices, it’s easy to forget about the little extras. These items aren’t off-limits, but they definitely "count," and the numbers add up. So keep track of everything you eat and sip... Ignorance is not bliss!

    What I did to lose today: 16,000 steps, I'm not sure what three hours of vigorous house cleaning burns but I can tell you I worked up a sweat! (MIL is staying for the weekend) and I'm way under my calorie goal.
    I'm also breastfeeding which burns between 200-500 calories a day!!
