Weight loss tips?

[Medusa]

Sorry, haven't posted in a while. I've been trying to get in at least 45 minutes of physical activity a day, even if it's just chasing Nathan around the yard. I fell off the soda wagon today and had a couple of glasses. But I'm trying to do better! I already feel better about myself, just want to keep it going and not get over confident.

Don't be hard on yourself; that kills our resolve. Allow yourself some missteps and get right back to your new way of living. You're doing great!

Yep, that's what I'm trying to do! I'm very proud of myself. Something that has happened many times to me before though is that I'll lose some weight, feel really good about myself, and then tell myself I can eat something really bad for me just once, but then end up going back to my old diet. I'm determined not to let that happen this time.

I think we've probably all done that. It's normal to want to reward youself when you lose weight, so the next time, treat yourself in some other way. Maybe buy a bottle of new perfume or bubble bath, something small but enough to feel really good. Keep up the good work.

A good tip is to eat several small meals a day instead of 3 big meals.

I've heard that eating 6 small meals a day is good because it keeps your metabolism constantly working
3 meals and 3 snacks: breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, dinner, and then a snack about an hour before bedtime.

That's exactly what my sister-in-law does. She's small and is able to keep her weight constant this way.

Good job, Caseysmom!!!! My sister is faithfully doing weight watchers and has lost over 15 pounds in the last month. She is trying to lost 15 more.

Good luck to you, Sumbirdy. When you drink soda, are you drinking the ones with sugar? There are so many diet sodas that you can drink that won't give you the added sugar. You just have to be careful to limit the number you drink because the salt content is very high in soda. After doing LA Weight Loss for a number of months, I learned that if I limit myself to 2 Diet Cokes per day (my personal favorite soda), I'm fine and drink water the rest of the time.
