Spring is almost here

Hi Everyone,

Spring is right around the corner.  How is everyone doing?  We are all at different stages in our Weight Loss Journey.  Some have had the surgery and are just starting the journey.  Some are almost at goal—yeah that is a great feeling, and some of us have already lost our weight and are trying to maintain that weight loss. It is possible to maintain the weight loss, but you need to keep doing what you have been doing for the most part. 

I have heard some people say they have lost the weight and now have regained some of it back.  That is a hard thing to face if you have lost it and now allowed yourself to regain some of it.  As we go along we have found out that we can eat a little more than in the 1st few months. You must remain diligent in eating small amounts of food. Try not to graze and if you are gazing make it veggies.  You need to still watch the amount of carbs that you are eating and a must for me is to exercise.  The more I exercise the easier it is to keep the weight off.  Remember it really is about drinking a lot of water still too—water fills you up and you should hydrate yourself.  It is all about calories in calories out. 

I had someone ask me how to reset our metabolism?  I am not sure you and reset it—it is what it is for the most part.  How about rev it up.  Eat good protein and consider going back to when you first started this weight loss journey.  Eat small amounts of healthy food. And don’t forget we still need to chew our food a lot. 

We CAN NOT go back to our OLD habits of thinking we can eat junk food and sit and never exercise. Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves that we have to maintain the current lifestyle that we have.  I am not saying you can’t have a special treat now and then.  But, you can NOT have that treat every day.  Learn to make some sugar free things and learn some low carb recipes for cookies or whatever it is that you like.
