Hello Ladies my name is Tonya and I am 23 years old. I have a 3 year old daughter and really need to get my butt back in shape. Before my daughter I weighed between 130-140. I have let myself go these last few years and am now are 210 :( I am so disquisted with myself and would LOVE to lose about 70-80 pounds. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I need all the encouragement I can get also. I CAN do this and SOOOO badly need to!!!
Welcome Tonya!!
I am sorry you are feeling this way. Don't let it get you down. Losing weight is something many struggle with, but with time, patience and determination, you can lose that 70-80 pounds!
One of the first things you could try to using a food journal. Write down EVERYTHING you eat, EVERY day for a week. Go back and figure out those calories. See how you can cut them by 25%.
In addition, you can start walking every day. It is one of the easiest things to do that costs no money, but can make a huge difference. Take your daughter out in the stroller...walk 30-45 minutes.
Just a couple suggestions to help you get started.
You CAN do it! :)
Blessings,
Joy

Maybe u can get someone to help u.. Or maybe we can do something together weather its a diet pill or whatever.. We could call eachother to make sure we are on the same track.. Talk to you soon!
Hi Tonya,
70-80 Lbs is totally do-able! I am a Health and Wellness coach and my team just helped my new friend Jill lose 120 pounds! (She lost 80 of that in 7 1/2 months) We have a three phase system that is getting amazing results! (We incorporate a specific Nutritional cleanse into this program, I can't believe the difference it makes!) I myself, lost 22 pounds about 5 years ago and have decided to go for even more, you know those last sticky 10-15 pounds. lol. Anyway, I have a list of tips that I can send you if you'd like. (NO charge) I'd be more than happy to be your "accountability partner", I know how much that helps! Go for it! You can do this!
Wishing you success- Have a fabulous day!
Linda
