Burning Question Of The Day
D-i-e-t. That four letter word that no one likes to talk about, myself included! And boy have I tried them all. I have done everything from the cabbage soup diet (yes, I am such a lemming!) to Weight Watchers and Atkins! And I have lost weight on them all! Probably more than 100lbs total! The sad news? I gained it all back and then some! Atkins was the worst for me. It was hard enough because I do not eat red meat at all, but when I started craving spoonfuls of ketchup, I knew there was a problem! Thats when I decided to do something a little bit different. I am not following any specific "diet" per say, but I am counting my calories and fat intake! So far it has done wonders.

To date, I have lost 40lbs, and I am still losing! But boy am I having my share of the ups and downs in the roller coaster of weight loss. I was at my lowest ever last Wednesday, but after an eventful weekend where I was faced with pizza, chicken wings and the infamous never ending pasta bowl at Olive Garden, I am sad to say I gained 5 lbs. How sad is that? A few meals and boom, 5lbs just like that! I really have to work on my wilpower issues.

With that said, I am back on track again today and determined to get this extra baggage off. And I am happy to report that I am on my way back down, as my scale revealed to me this morning. Now some food for thought. When we gain weight, we know where it goes right? If your like me, its straight to my stomach and my thighs. But what happens when you lose?

Thanks for visiting my blog...Jury duty..nope do not want to go there...As far as your question goes..well I am told that fat goes into muscle BUT if you are old like me and losing weight like me...the fat that cannot possibly make it into muscle just goes SOUTH!! I have been going to CURVES now for about 18 months and have been doing great even for my "advanced age"!! smile...Ihave lost 25 lbs and 30 inches so far. I am very proud of your weight loss...Keep going and just forget that word that you mentioned at the beginning. I NEVER USE IT!! EVER!!!

It is a 4 letter word like WORK

Congrats on losing the weight. I give credit to anyone who has the willpower to diet. I know I could never do it.

I love Olive Garden. I wish we had one here.

As for where it all goes? Hmmm . . . maybe we poop it out?

Congrats on the weight loss...very cool! I'll be going on a program myself after my little one is born. I'll prob be drinking my breakfast and lunch and hopefully will be walking everyday. I hope it works!!!

Btw, the fat goes to your feet.
