Hi my name is Alicia and I would like to share my weight loss sucess story I used to weigh 290 pounds I WAS MISERABLE well one day I got up off of my rear end and said to myself I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE I was sooo sick of being obese my goal was 145 now I am 145 it took me 1 year on a steady diet ok this is what I did I guzzeld water every chance i got I even took bottles to school for brekfast I usualy ate 2 scrambled eggs and I didnt use grease in the skillet I used PAM that is very important pam is not fatty for lunch I ate whatever the school served but i cut it in half and i had a salad but I brought a Crystal Light drink for dinner I really liked skinless baked chicken sometimes I chopped the chicken up in the salad and just had salad for dinner I also drank lots of PURE Grapefruit Juice it has to be pure!!! and I also ate celery beause grapefruit and celery contain so much acid if you drink a couple of shots of grapefruit juice after any meal its just like you didnt eat at all because the citric and or acid cuts some or even all the calories in the meal U just consumed I also ate lots of fruit sometimes If I did real bad on my diet that week I would make a big ol fruit salad I put in strawberrys oranges pineapples grapes grapefruit plums peaces nectarins etc. whatever you like.Slimfast is great to drink in place of a meal Lean Cuisean doesnt taste that good but its a meal. and I always treated myself i did my treat on Fridays I would buy a quart of ice cream and i would eat 1 scoop and 1 scoop only every friday REMEMBER YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE A LITTLE TEMPTATION oh yeah for like my pizza I ordered vegiatrian with cheese on it . For my exercises I did Tae Bo Windsor Pilates Richard Simmons workout tapes I also bought the bun and thigh lateral trainer and I did that everyday I also ran on my tredmil 45 min a day and I own a spinning bike I had my own personal spinning class and i also did the FIRM workout tapes oh yeah I took Mega t Green Tea diet pill supplemnts I took these becuase I hate the taste of green tea and the pills really work but you have to put forth the effort and try try try You will succeed if u try hope i helped you all. remember if you try you will defiantely SUCCEED
