Hello out there!!! I don't know about you, but I have tried just about every diet available and to no avail. It all began after my first child. I picked up a few pounds and that's when my weightloss nightmare began. I've tried B12 shots, appetite suppressants, Metabolife, Atkins, Medifast, Health wagon, SlimFast, etc.......... I would lose a few pounds, but once I stopped the weight always came back and often doubled. I've realized that there are no quick fixes. In order to get to my optimal weight, I have to make lifestyle changes. I've stopped eating red meat and pork altogether. I've also started incorporating a weekly exercise routine which includes walking, yoga, and some other form of Cardio workout. My current goal is to be fabulous and forty. So, that gives me 3 years to reach my optimal weight and fitness level. I look forward to hearing about your experiences with weightloss/weightgain. I also welcome any comments/suggestions you have on helping me to reach my goal.
