Weight Loss/Exercise Updates? Post Yours Here!

RobiLee,

I know how hard it is. I have been really unhappy with my appearance for a couple of years now - I used to be REALLY tiny, and due to my PCOS my weight has just kept on creeping up.

One thing that gives ME a huge fright and wake-up call is the following:

Stand in front of a mirror and have a GOOD look at yourself. Tell yourself...
"If I don't make changes in my lifestyle, THIS is as good as I am ever going to look"

I know it's not very inspirational or poetic, but it worked for me!!

I bought myself new walking sneakers (I only do 2 miles a day), and spoil myself on really nice exotic fruits and veggies. I also freeze small cartons of red grape juice, and eat it like a sorbet with a spoon when I crave a sweet treat!

For easy exercise with NO equipment, check out Leslie Sansones Walk Away The Pounds DVD's - especially the 1 and 2 miles - they are great and you can do them in front of the TV at home!
