There is a new way to remove hair without waxing, shaving or using expensive lasers. I tried it and I was very impressed. It says that the hair won’t regrow for a couple months so we will see how it goes. Its called NoNo. If you would like to try it too here is the link: no!no! pain-free and lasting hair removal

If you try it let me know how it works out for you. They say it works just as well for men too.

Changing your wardrobe to make you thinner

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:41:46 +0000

Now that I managed to lose a few pounds I decided to reward myself with a couple new pairs of jeans and a couple nice shirts. I don’t want to redo my wardrobe just yet since I will likely drop a few more sizes if I stay on track and avoid the red devil (Coke). Besides my clothes always get messed up at work sooner or later. So right now I am a size 18. If I can only get back down to a 10 the way I was 10 years ago I will be happy. Heck, I’ll be happy to get down to a 14 even. One thing I am not looking forward to though is “boob sag”. I have heard that if you are large breasted and you lose a lot of weight that your boobs will deflate like old balloons. Well, I guess I will cross that bridge when I get to it and start saving some money for a potential breast lift. But anyway I wanted to mention a new bra that has worked wonders for me. I recently purchased the Ahh Bra. Not only is it very comfortable but it prevents me from spilling out over the top and sides like more normal bras do. It does provide excellent support also. I am very pleased with my purchase. If you click the link I provided you can get a special discount.

I quit drinking Coke and other sugary beverages and lost 6 pounds

admin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:55:55 +0000

As the title says, I quit drinking Coca Cola and any other sugary beverages and I have lost 6 pounds in the last 20 days. Amazing huh? Well, what brought me to do this? Well, I was on one of my favorite websites Above Top Secret and I saw a thread about the Coca Cola conspiracy that contained a video from Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, in the Division of Endocrinology Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health (WATCH) Program at UCSF. He goes in length to show how the obesity epidemic in this country can be directly linked to Coke and drinks containing high fructose corn syrup. I embedded the video below. Its a little over an hour but will certainly change your life as it did mine. I used to drink at least 20 oz’s of Coke a day and sometimes Sprite or Redbull. As I said, I first saw this video on 2-1 and immediately stopped drinking those beverages. Now I only drink water, tea, coffee and I do have a cup of hot chocolate most nights but it only has 70 calories and 6 grams of sugar. It was not so easy to give up the red devil. When I am grocery shopping the displays call out to me. I do say I feel much better and also seem to have less of an appetite as well. Its probably because my sugar is stable now. I did not change my diet in any other way. I still eat pizza and burgers. That was the only change I made. I will continue to post my results. 6 down 40 to go!!! Oh, and that means no diet soda either. That can be just as bad for you. If you don’t have time to watch the video at least check out the discussion as there are excerpts in there. You will be flabbergasted after you watch it.

Winter is here and I have been feeling really lazy

admin — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 14:51:00 +0000

I think I have seasonal-affective disorder. Whenever it changes to winter I get really depressed. Especially when they change the clocks and it gets dark earlier. I hate it. I end up eating more and that really hampers my weight-loss journey. Plus, when you feel depressed you don’t feel like doing anything. I lose all motivation to get physical and do any kind of exercise.

I was always afraid to quit smoking because I heard you will gain weight.

So, I started using e-cigarettes. I was surprised at how real it feels. You are actually inhaling nicotine vapor. It doesn’t stink and I can really tell that I am getting nicotine from it. The only thing I don’t like is that it is heavy compared to a real cigarette. It kind of feels like I am holding a pen. But I can’t complain. I have been very happy with them. I feel healthier and can breath better already. If you want to try them here is where I got them from. Vapor4life. They have a deal going on where you get the starter kit for $30. I forgot to mention they are much cheaper then smoking regular cigarettes. I am saving like $150 a month with these.

So now I am exercising too!!

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:51:36 +0000

I realized that when I lost a bunch of weight years ago it was because I exercised. I did not focus on diet per se, but more on weight lifting and building muscle. I remember seeing a statistic that for every 3 pounds of muscle you build your metabolism increases by 7%. So all this month for the last 13 days I have been doing muscle building exercises in the morning for about 15 minutes.

I have been doing push ups, leg lifts, squats, arm circles, etc. I hate aerobics and running. So I am just focused on the muscle building. I have still been taking alli using the double dose. I have also cut out all the sugar. No more soda and sweets. I have lost about 5 pounds since the beginning of the month this way. I just hope I can continue with it and keep it off. I bought some jeans last week that were size 18. They were too tight. I have no returned them because I think in about a week or so they will fit me fine if I can keep up with my new routine.

Motivating to exercise is very hard for me. Like I said I have always hated running and aerobics. Partly, because I am big breasted and that results in a lot of uncomfortable bouncing no matter what kind of sports bra I wear. When I was in basic training I wore a regular bra and 2 sports bras at once to keep the bouncing from getting out of hand. The muscle building exercises are easy enough. I do most of them in front of the computer in the morning while watching youtube or something. I will post my progress.

Enough with the methods to lose weight fast

admin — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:23:44 +0000

Ok. I’ve talked about ways to lose weight fast, but what about long term?

My little tricks I mentioned previously do work but they are only temporary. I am on a journey to long term weight loss. I weigh about 60 pounds more than I did 10 years ago. I want to get it off and keep it off. I think i will continue to take Alli and try to cut out the sugar. I do drink alcohol a bit with coke. I don’t think I will quit drinking but I can switch my mixer to water. I have tried to drink liquor with diet or sugar free soda and it does not work. It tastes horrible! I don’t know what it is. But water works.

I am also going to dig up some “skinny” pictures of myself and put them around the house. That always helps to motivate me, especially when cheese cake is calling my name.

So starting today, I am going to start taking Alli again, cut out the sugar, and get off my ass and do some physical activity. These things should be easy enough and are not a drastic change. See, when you try to do something extremely different from your normal routine you tend to fail. Just integrate some small changes and it will be much easier to stick with.

Are you really hungry or not?

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:45:19 +0000

I often find myself eating when I am not really hungry. Maybe I just eat out of boredom. I have made an effort to determine if in fact I am really hungry before I eat something. I drink a glass of water if I think I am hungry and wait like 10-15 minutes. Often times, I don’t feel hungry after that. So I guess that means I was not really hungry. Like a lot of times I will come home from work and make dinner even though I really don’t feel any hunger pangs. Its kind of hard to fight though. Maybe its just the act of eating that I desire and not the food itself.

Or if I go to a restaurant I feel obligated to finish my food because I don’t want to waste money. I have finished many plates when I was kind of stuffed. Its like I can’t stand to see anything left on my plate. I am trying to overcome this because I think it is critical to my weight loss journey. I guess I just have to get over it though.

My Alli experience

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:38:22 +0000

Well, over the summer I and my mechanic decided to start taking ALLI. I bought a scale and brought it to work so we could weigh ourselves 2 times a week. Over the summer I lost like 10 pounds and she lost 15.

This is what we did, the normal OTC Alli dose is half the prescription orlistat. So we took a double dose (2 pills) with each meal. It worked pretty well. The only thing you have to worry about is not eating something with too much fat because you will pay!! I pooped in my pants a couple of times this oily stuff when I ate too much of fatty foods. Also, when you think you have gas go to the bathroom because there is a good chance you will fart the oily discharge. Not fun at work!

All of that can be avoided by limiting your fat intake. So not only does the drug cause you to not absorb as much fat, but it trains you to not want fat so you don’t crap yourself. If you have constipation problems or pain when defecating because of hemmorhoids this will help you too because it comes out with little effort. Now, the pills are not cheap but you can order them online with a discount.

I have stopped taking them for a month or so but am going to start again this week. If you have any questions about alli let me know!!

What’s the rage about acai berry juice?

admin — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:12:49 +0000

I’m sure you have heard about it on Oprah or other shows and wonder if it really works.

The acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) is a fruit that grows on the acai palm trees in the Amazon fall forest of Brazil. It’s dark purple/maroon in color and about the size of a grape. It is extremely rich in nutrients. Natives of the Amazon region have made this berry a major section of their diet for hundreds of years.

Approximately 10% of the berry contains edible pulp and skin and the remaining 90% is the pit/seed. Most of the nutrients become from the pulp and skin and the pt/seed is normally not eaten. The fruit tastes like a vibrant mix of berries and chocolates. With rich nutrients and great taste, it is not surprising that this food is becoming extremely popular.

Despite being extremely popular in Brazil, the acai berry has been unknown in other parts of the world. But recent media coverage of this amazing matter has been talked about on the Oprah Winfrey show, ABC, NBC and CBS news and other shows. It has also been featured in several books. In fact, Dr. Perricone calls this berry the number digit superfood in his book “The Perricone Promise”. The berry is extremely rich in antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids. With 15-20 times the antioxidants as flushed grapes, it is digit of best sources of antioxidants of any food. There are numerous benefits to acai. In summary, it can help:

* Promote and help weight loss
* Boost energy & stamina
* Boost the immune system
* Promote more better sleep
* Fight aging and inflammation
* Protect against heart disease
* Increase libido( sex drive)
