My two weight loss secrets!

edited September 2024 in Health and Weight Loss
I have been fairly successful in my weight loss efforts and was doing a shift in a facility that I occasion only rarely. Some of my co-workers were commenting on how great I looked and a small huddle came up to me and asked in hush tones what my secret was. Was I doing Hootia or "super fat burner slim oxy pill", etc. I leaned forward and said softly


"I have two secrets: But don't let anyone else know......":wink:

Then, after an appropriate silent interval, I said:


"Eat less, move more":happy:

    Yeah and luckily you have a good body under the fat that fell off. What HAVE you been doing? P90X,weights or some other program?

    I have been riding my bike about 4 times a week ( 13.5 miles) and doing some of the P90X routines. (broke my ankle a year ago and still not 100% for jumping, etc) Thanks for the kind comments!

    LOL seriously! imagine that.. eating healthy smaller portions and exercising more! ;)

    My fiance's grandmother asked me back at Easter how I was losing weight (I had lost 20lbs back then) and she seemed a little ... perplexed... that I said "ya know just eating well and exercising, I count calories"... lol. My mother recently called it a "diet". No mom. It is not a diet. Diets end. This will not :)

    I keep referring to it as that crazy fad diet that comes in and out of fashion, "Eat better and Exercise".

    Yep everyone wants a quick fix--they forget it didn't take them a day to gain the weight... but we live in a "fast food society"
    and by that I mean everybody wants it their way, right away---they want it NOW.
    There is no magic pill, no magic diet drink etc. people need to get off their duff's and move.
