Anyone Struggling to Lose the Last Few Pounds?

I’m still struggling to loose the last 15 pounds I want to get rid of. I can’t believe it’s so hard for me to lose 15 pounds. I have been trying so hard for about 1 year now. I’m doing exercise regularly 4-5 days a week and am watching what I eat. But it seems I can’t lose that stubborn 15 pounds.  Help!!! What’s wrong with me? I’m not sure why.

My weight has been stable for about 3 years. I want to achieve my desired goal of weighing 100lbs but it seems so hard. The reason why I want to loose 15 pounds is because I’m not that tall. I’m only 4″11 and I think 100lbs is the best weight for my small frame. What do ya’ll think? Read Full Entry

Weight Watchers Diet

Millions of people use the weight watcher diet every year in an attempt to lose weight.  It’s one of the most popular weight loss programs and one of the most respected.  There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to the weight watcher points system.  Read on and see if it’s for you.

The weight watcher diet is based on the idea that ” healthful weight loss occurs when we consume less food than we burn “.  Many of us know this, but find it difficult to apply it to our own lives.  Counting calories and weighing food to make sure we accomplish this mission just isn’t all that easy.  It’s time-consuming and if there’s one thing most of us are short on, that would be time.

Not only that, but putting all that thought into what we’re eating kind of sucks the fun out of food.  We begin to obsess on every bit we put in our mouths; how many calories was that?  Oh, I forgot about the mayo!  Etc. Read Full Entry

Jenny Craig Weight Loss

So, who’s the celebrity du jour for Jenny Craig right now? Valerie, right? Or is it Queen Latifah? Well, we all know it’s not Kirstie anymore, or at least there aren’t too many commercials with Kirstie. Personally, I think Kirstie Alley is a beautiful women heavy or thin as are Val and Queen Latifah. But, when you’re advertising for a weight loss program such as Jenny Craig, weight loss is sort of important.

No matter what the flattering outfit, it became quite apparent that Kirstie didn’t quite meet the goals of the program, though she did lose weight. So, Valerie stepped in and now has a book out on the shelves about her success with the Jenny Craig diet. So, why did Kirstie “fail” and why did Valerie lose all the weight she wanted?

It could very well be that Kirstie cheated, but when evaluating the success or failure of a diet, one has to look beyond the dieter and look at the diet itself. What works for some just isn’t right for others. It’s a very subjective thing. Read Full Entry

Reasons To Create Your Own Diet Meals

Did I tell you that I quit the Nutrisystem program a few weeks a go. Why? not because the program was bad, but because I want to challenge myself. I found interesting that the food provided by certain diet programs was actually similar to the food that I eat regularly. So I’m thinking why I need to spend money while I can find my own way and create my own diet meals. Okay I confess, the honest reason is actually because I’m too stingy to spend money. It hurts my heart when I have to pay $300 a month just to get the same food that I believe I can make it my own.

Its a lot cheaper and you can be more fun because you won’t get bored to eat the same food over and over for a year. If you eat the same food all the time, like vaccines, your body will be immune. In that case, YES! you will loose weight, not because of the program, but because you are tired of the food and you don’t want to eat it anymore. Just to see the food makes you lose your appetite (heheeh…… that’s my theory ). Read Full Entry
