Does your back or shoulders hurt? Eating right and losing some weight can really help you to feel better in a hurry! Extra weight can add stress to your back and make a small back pain into a big pain.
I can attest to this. Before I started The Diet Solution Program, my back was really starting to hurt. Even just doing normal everyday bending was starting to hurt. That's when I said this has to stop! Rather than going to the doctor, who I knew was going to tell me I needed to lose a few pounds, I decided to take things into my own hands.
Let me tell you, my back feels a whole lot better! Once I lost the first 5 pounds, I could feel the difference. Now that I have lost over 15 pounds, I feel a lot younger and energetic. I feel great, and so does my back!
If you haven't had a chance, make sure to check out The Diet Solution Program. It really will help you feel better!

How is Your Plan Going?
It's been a busy few weeks. Our children are involved in fall sports, so there has been a lot of running around from one event to another. Sitting down and eating together has not been a regular occurrence. There has been a lot of off time meals.
A schedule like this, which many people have, can be a real killer for your waistline! Eating late, and grabbing fast food, can start to add on the pounds. There doesn't seem to be time to eat right or exercise. What's a person to do?
Keep in mind that you still need to eat healthy. If you know you are going to have a quick eat-out meal, make sure you eat healthy foods for your other meals. Also, try to find something that is good for you on the menu, or at least not as bad as some of the items are. Make the time to exercise too, even if it means getting up a little earlier in the morning. Your willpower really needs to be strong, so keep your goal in mind!

Making Your Exercise Fun
Is it possible to make exercise fun? Sure it is! First, make it something enjoyable. If you enjoy working out with a friend, then do that. It will give you time to catch up on each other's lives, plus it will make the time go by quicker. It won't even feel like you are exercising.
Maybe walking appeals to you. If so, then plan going to some different locations and observing the scenery. Once again, going with a friend can be a big help.
You might want to just exercise at home. Having an area to do some weight work or work out to an exercise video can be fun. It might be a place to be alone and gather your thoughts as you are working on losing weight and staying in shape.
No matter what you do, make sure you get some physical exercise. Eating the right foods and keeping your body in shape will make you feel great!

Holiday Weekend Coming Up!
This weekend is Labor Day, it usually marks the unofficial end of Summer. If you are like me, you will be going to some kind of picnic or parade. There will of course be many foods there to tempt you, so what do you do?
Try to find the healthy foods at the party. Look for a vegetable tray or a fruit tray and have some of that. It will be good for you, plus it will fill you up. If there are other snack there, you can take a little, but keep it to a small portion.
If the host is having a cookout, it's OK to have a burger or chicken sandwich, just don't overeat. You can treat yourself a little, but you don't want to go overboard! Take a smaller plate, if possible, so that you can't load it with a lot of food. This will help limit the portions that you take.
So enjoy yourself at the party! If you have been following The Diet Solution Plan, you know it's OK to do this once in a while. Have a good time, and get yourself back on your normal schedule on Tuesday.

Avoid These Foods to Jumpstart Your Plan
One thing that you can do to jumpstart your diet plan is to simply avoid foods that are white. These include pasta, sugar, white bread, and dairy products. The exceptions to this are cauliflower, chicken, fish and turkey.
Doing this will really help you to reach your goal. Just the fact of cutting out sugar and bread immediately started making my weight go down. Once you see your weight start to drop, you know you can then really do this! It is really both a psychological and physical boost.
So cut out the white colored foods for 14 days. You'll see immediate results, and be starting on your way to both looking good and feeling good!

Eat More Often
One thing that you don't want to do on any weight loss plan is to go hungry. If you do that, you are just going to sit down and overeat, which is not going to help. You want to eat more small meals each day, watching not only what you are eating, but the portion size too.
As I referred to in my last post, healthy snacks are allowed. So eat a good breakfast, have a mid-morning snack, lunch, a late afternoon snack, dinner, then a small a snack if needed. Just don't eat too close to bedtime!
By doing this, your body gets the nutrition it needs and is not wanting. So pay attention to your body, if your stomach is growling, you need to eat a little more, just make sure it's the right foods that you are eating!

Eat Healthy Snacks
If you are like me, the stomach starts growling late morning before lunch, and late afternoon before dinner. Time for a snack! But you know eating between meals isn't a good thing, or so you've been told. How about a healthy snack that will hold you over, but is also good for you?
So instead of reaching for the candy, chips or ice cream, think fruits and vegetables. A handle of grapes or a small apple will work. Some small carrots or some celery will also work. They will fill your stomach, and are actually good for your body too.
If you haven't had a chance, make sure to check out The Diet Solution Program on the right side of the page. You'll get even more ideas on healthy snacks to eat that will help you reach your weight loss goal. You don't have to stop eating, just make sure you are eating the right things!

The Heat Is On!
It is really hot here in the Midwest, as it is in most parts of the country. How can you exercise with it being so warm? There are a few ways to do this, just be imaginative!
First, if you are going to walk or run outside, do it in the early morning or later in the evening. You don't want to be out when the sun is blazing. Also, look at going to a mall where it's air conditioned. You can walk and window shop at the same time.
Do you have access to a pool, either private or public? You can go and get a workout in by swimming. You'll stay cool and be doing something good for your body too. Check at your public pool, a lot of them have open swims for just adults, so you don't have to get splashed by children jumping in and out of the pool.
Also, make sure to drink a lot of water! We have talked before about drinking water instead of soda, and with it being hot, that's even more important. Take a water bottle with you when you walk or are doing outside activities. Water will help hydrate your body, and it will also fill you up, so you won't eat as much, if the heat hasn't zapped your appetite!
So stay cool, but stay in shape. Don't use the heat as an excuse to not exercise, just be creative in how you do it!

Get Some Exercise
One adjustment I needed to make was getting some exercise. Now I'm sure you are just like me and are saying "I just don't have the time for that!". That was what I said at the beginning, but the important thing is to start a routine. It doesn't have to be long, even 15-20 minutes 3 times a week will make a difference. You don't need to run out and get a gym membership either. I just do some basic exercises at home, like sit-ups, toe-touches, push-ups, leg raises, and use some light weights too. I also go out walking, which gives me time to think and make plans.
I know, you are still thinking, "I don't have the time". But think about the time you spend watching TV or sitting around after dinner. Have a dog? Take them for a walk, they will love it! Or walk with your spouse or significant other. You can even get up a little earlier in the morning to get started with this. Once you get started, it will become part of your routine. Not only will you start reducing your weight, but you will also start feeling healthier. That's a great way to build up your confidence!

Believe in Yourself!
One thing that you must do to be successful in losing weight is to believe in yourself. You can do this! Stay positive, and keep reminding yourself that you WILL do this. Keep the negative thoughts out of your mind. Temptations will crop up, but as you become more accustomed to your new way of eating, you WILL overcome them.
Now, there will be times that you are tempted and eat something that you aren't supposed to, like a piece of birthday cake at a party. But you know what? So what! Get yourself back on track after that. We are all human, and a little treat once in awhile won't destroy your diet.
That's what I find great about Isabel's plan. You can still eat many of the foods you enjoy, while losing weight at the same time. How great is that!

Starting Off Slowly
The one thing that I would highly recommend for any diet plan is starting off slowly. You are more likely to stick to a plan if you ease yourself into it, rather than going cold turkey. For example, start switching over from drinking soda by substituting water at 1 meal a day. As you get more comfortable doing this, you can then increase the times you drink water rather than soda.
If you try to give up all of your treats at once, I have found it very hard to stick to that. Instead, retrain your body and your mind slowly, so that it just becomes a habit. Introducing healthy fruits and vegetables into your diet to replace candy, chips and other snacks will help you not only lose the weight you want, but also make yourself healthier!

Welcome to my Blog!
Hi!
You have found my blog about a diet plan to reduce weight. If you are like me, this was something I knew I needed to do, but kept putting it off. Finally, after I had increased from a size 34 pants to a size 36, and even those were starting to get tight, I knew I had to do something!
So congratulations on starting your weight loss journey! I'm just an ordinary person like you, trying to get my weight down. As I have lost over 12 pounds in 1 month, I think I am well on my way, and you can do the same thing I am. The first thing is to make a decision to start eating healthier. I mean, weight loss isn't going to happen magically! Once you are committed, it will make things a lot easier.
The plan I am currently using is The Diet Solution Program by Isabel De Los Rios. You can find it in the Links section on the right side of the screen. Check out the videos and free resources on her site, you won't be disappointed!
So bookmark this blog and check back often, as I will update you on my progress and other tips I have picked up along the way. Good luck to you, I know you can do this!
