For the f...Wow, I really resonated with this post. For the first time in my life, I'm unhappy with my weight and how I feel.... I used to be the kind of person who could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound, but over the last year or so, I've been steadily gaining more and more weight and finding it harder and harder to fit into my old clothes. I'm trying to eat smaller portions and not indulge in unhealthy snacks, but have healthy snacks around like almonds, fruits, and veggies. And working out 3x a week has been my current goal. I really like the goal to drink more water. Having one of the copco cups with a straw has really helped with that, but I could be better. Either way, I'm all for avoiding diets and making lifestyle changes, as you suggest. All this to say, I'm in your corner girl, I understand what you're going through, and I support you in your efforts to get healthy! You can do it!Lauren @ The Thinking Closethttp://www.thinkingcloset.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-83110647069847973952013-05-20T00:11:16.000-07:002013-05-20T00:11:16.000-07:00Smart plan!!

I'm so proud of you for taking control!!. About 4 years ago I stripped nekid, looked in the mirror and was so bummed about how out of shape I ahd gotten. A frend of mine recommended an exercise book, "New rules of lifting for women"..Wthin one month my body had already started getting toned.. It's important you lift weights (not to be bulky like a She-Ra) but to strengthen the core muscles.. There is also a Facebook group.. That is my recommendation.. 4yrs later, I stll lift 3x aweek, and don't cringe when I'm nekkid anymore :-)free penny presshttp://freepennypress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-32420498473423106412013-05-20T11:03:52.000-07:002013-05-20T11:03:52.000-07:00It's true though.

It's time to take back control. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!

I think one of the most inspiring people in my life for weight change is my aunt. She was seriously obese (5'-6" and over 250 lbs? just guessing). She ended up getting a surgery performed for her knees that was the same one as her mother had, only 20 years earlier. This struck her and she seriously turned her life around and is amazing looking. My goal too is to not cringe when I look in the mirror when I'm all nekkid. To not doubt my guy when he tells me I'm beautiful. To be happy within my skin. Thanks for cheering me on! :DBethany the ngnrdgrlhttp://ngnrdgrl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-20483882744639074772013-05-22T00:15:58.000-07:002013-05-22T00:15:58.000-07:00And your comment resonated with me!

The guy is really bad with the snacks, juice and soda. He's also not very active either. So he has been a total bad influence for me in this regards. I think he has finally clued in on how unhappy I am with this part of my life. I am SUPER happy with everything else, but I am not thrilled about my body. He is trying to be supportive and I think he is starting to think about his own bad eating habits.<br><br>My stepson flies in June 9th to be with us for 8 weeks! Yay!!! He discovered he is allergic to wheat, corn, peanuts, walnuts, tomatoes and sesame. It's sad to think this 12 year old kiddo can't have food like pizza (which he would have gladly eaten every night just last year!), but it is a blessing in disguise. He is learning to eat healthy at an early age. <br><br>And me? I get to learn how to cook gluten free this summer! Haha! So maybe we will start seeing some benefits and try to work it into our normal eating routine. Not cutting it out completely, but working towards more healthy meals and snacks.<br><br>Any, who. I'm in your corner too!!! We can do this together! :DBethany the ngnrdgrlhttp://ngnrdgrl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-59447260270999417692013-05-21T05:19:00.000-07:002013-05-21T05:19:00.000-07:00I have started using Lose It! app ad it is helping...I have started using Lose It! app ad it is helping me. It has a scanner so I can scan upc's to help upload foods. I have fallen in love with Ken's Steakhouse Lite Raspberry Pomegranate Vinaigrette dressing for my salads now. Low calories and full of flavor. I use that on a large salad topped w blueberries and some pecans. Congrats on your efforts!

I like that it lets me set up custom recipes and meals. It's been less than a week, but I am feeling really good about keeping track of Calories. I've learned so much about my foods through doing it!Bethany the ngnrdgrlhttp://ngnrdgrl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-1212835342794933022013-05-25T04:12:38.000-07:002013-05-25T04:12:38.000-07:00Thanks for the info.

There is enough weird ingredients in the regular that the diet just gives me the willies. I may still drink some soda, but as a treat. Like, ewwwww, I cleaned the ____ and it was soooo gross!!!! Well, I did burn this many Calories from it, so I deserve a treat. ;)Bethany the ngnrdgrlhttp://ngnrdgrl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-66282372754255776592013-05-25T05:41:29.000-07:002013-05-25T05:41:29.000-07:00You are so inspiring....

A...Your comment has left me so pumped up, Bethany! And I was just talking with Mark today about how we want to get back into the habit of tracking our exercising with the chart I had made last fall (here's the post on it from the early days...forgive the bad lighting: http://www.thinkingcloset.com/2012/09/23/the-exercise-challenge/). It really did work for a while, but we've since fallen off the wagon. And I think that's great that you're looking forward to learning how to cook gluten free and find some recipes you enjoy to make and eat. I think that's the key: not just "getting by" with food, but finding delicious healthy alternatives to what you WERE eating. Then it's less of a punishment and more of an active choice!Lauren @ The Thinking Closethttp://www.thinkingcloset.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217533500274713651.post-30639912217999397922013-05-26T02:35:59.000-07:002013-05-26T02:35:59.000-07:00Gabby, I am so glad you found this thread too! I t...Gabby, I am so glad you found this thread too! I totally agree about working everything into your daily routine. It is so easy to push things off for later. The Calorie counting was not something I had ever thought of doing before. It just sounded too hard and too tedious. I think the apps for Calorie counting are getting better and easier. <br><br>I too am trying to exercise every day. I have a pedometer and keep track of Calories burned that way. I try to do a walk/jog (alternating walking with bursts of jogging) on most days. I am not very athletic, but I really enjoy these walk/jogs as they give me time to let my brain mull things over. It's really relaxing.<br><br>Also, looking at Calories for different foods was a shock to my system. Now I am eating with more intention. Understanding how much is a serving and how much I can afford to eat with my allowance. I definitely have days where I know I am going to be over, but I like to make those days part of social occasions. <br><br>It's been hard, but I passed the one week mark and have been pretty consistent. My fiance is starting to also think about what he is consuming. He has been such a bad influence on me! Hehe! But now I'll be a good influence on him. He has started reducing his portions and we are both working on not over eating. Like you said, eat until you aren't hungry, not until your are "full." That fullness feeling comes typically way after you have crossed the finish line.<br><br>Anyways, now I've written a novella! I plan on doing a follow up and working towards keeping myself on this path to better living. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend too!!!
