This will be a short blog….

My weight loss hss been slow. I have no energy to do anything once I get home. With work, school, my internship, taking care of the daughter, studying…..I’m having a hard time finding time to workout, even for 20 mins. I need to get a schedule together and see if there is a way I can incorporate a workout. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do/take to boost my energy??!!?? I really need some help, motivation and support.

About three weeks ago I started herbalife. I did my research on it before I started and didn’t find may bad reviews on it. Of course your going to have a few people that didn’t do it right and swear up and down they did everything correctly and still didn’t lose weight. I didn’t start a blog to talk about them, but to ask if anyone else has tried Herbalife or know of anyone that has done it and what were your/their experiences. Like I stated before I have been doing it for a little over three weeks now and I have lost over 20 inches all over and 3lbs. I was really excited when I first started. I was pumped and ready to start my weight loss. Then about two weeks into I got sick of taking all of the supplements. It’s like 5 pills 3 times a day. That’s alot of pills. The shakes are ok, but it’s starting to get old real fast. I have no one there to really encourage me and help me along the way. Yeah I have my Hearbalife coach, but of course she going to say keep going cause she wants the money. I’m not saying that she doesn’t want to see me lose weight, but if I lose weight and stay on herbalife that’s money in her pocket. Now I have also been looking at Weight Watchers. I like it because they have weekly meeting where you can go in and talk to other people face to face and actually see, live and in person, their weight loss. So if any one is doing or has done Weight Watchers and could give me some feed back I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading in advance!!!!

So all my life I have been the “thick girl”(I’m not going to use “fat”) with hips, butt and thighs. Never got to shop at the clothing stores my friends shopped at, never got to borrow clothes from friends or anything like that. It’s been almost 25 years and you would think that I would have learned to love my body by now, while actually it is the opposite. Each day I am starting to HATE it more and more, especially when I see a cute dress or shirt and I go try it on and all I see is rolls and bluge. My first weight loss journey was back in summer of 2004, when I was a sophmore in college. My roommate and I joined LA weight loss and I did really good, I lost 35lbs. I continued to exercise and eat healthy when I stopped going to LA weight loss. Not sure how much weight I lost after that because we didn’t own a scale, but one morning while leaving for work I tripped down the stairs and sprained my ankle. I couldn’t workout and that is when the first weight loss journey stopped. My second try at losing weight came a year after I had my daughter. I was eating healthy and doing Barry’s BootCamp. I lost 13lbs in 2 months. My workout came to a halt when I I got sick and was not able to workout and I just stopped. Well here I am again almost a year later and I’m really ready to get this weight off this time. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to go to the mall and be able to find my size in regular store instead of having to go in Plus Size stores looking to clothes I don’t like. I want the aches and pains in my body to go any. I’m glad I found this site, where there are others on the same journey as me, dealing with everyday life and meeting their goals. I can’t wait to finish my journey and help others reach their goals too.
