Skinny Fiber And Pregnancy

Image

 

I’ve had many comments on this blog about pregnancy and infertility. I’ve always stressed how much Skinny Fiber helps with improving the regularity of your menstrual cycle, and I have experienced that myself. I began taking Skinny Fiber in March of this year, and by April, I started to get more regular. At that time, I hadn’t had a period since January. 

Many of the people who message me want to know if Skinny Fiber will help them get pregnant. I’ve always told them that I thought it would because of the regulation of my periods, but I couldn’t really speak from my own experience because I wasn’t trying to get pregnant. I am 37 years old and I’ve had three babies. I felt like I was past that time in my life. 

Imagine my surprise when I took a pregnancy test yesterday and saw a BIG FAT POSITIVE! I was so surprised! It’s still kind of sinking in, and I’m still a little bit in shock. While this pregnancy was unexpected, for sure, I know that it’s a blessing for our family. I also know that I can credit my weight loss and Skinny Fiber for causing it to even be possible. 

I know how heartbreaking infertility is. I have been there too. I took fertility drugs when I was trying to get pregnant with my first two children. Clomid made me “crazy”, and I absolutely hated being on it. Skinny Fiber has no side effects, and it’s all natural, not to mention caffeine-free. 

I can now safely and confidently recommend Skinny Fiber to anyone who is interested in losing weight and improving their fertility to help achieve pregnancy. It works! I’m proof of it!

I’m Back! And Still Taking Skinny Fiber

Image

 

Wow! The past few weeks have just flown by. It’s incredible how time will do that sometimes, especially when you’re as busy as I have been. I was reminded today that I hadn’t posted in a while, so I thought I should probably get on here and write a new post so that you all didn’t think that I had stopped trying to lose weight.

I’m still working on my Skinny Fiber weight loss journey. I will admit that when I was on vacation a few weeks ago, I didn’t take it. It’s just too hard to go on vacation and maintain any kind of weight loss. Not to mention that I really wanted to just relax and enjoy myself for a few days. I knew that I wouldn’t go overboard, and I also knew that any weight I did put on would come right back off in a few days because it would be mostly water. I was right. After about three days, the six pounds I had gained while were visiting Dorney Park came right back off again. 

Now that the kids are in school, I have a lot more time during the day to spend on my work. I’m really happy about that, however it’s also what’s kept me away from my other blogging duties. The past few days have been a little lax in the exercise department because of appointments I’ve had and a fall I had on Wednesday morning outside a local business. That really knocked me for a loop for a few days, so I have been trying to take it easy. 

As soon as I returned home from vacation, I continued with my healthy eating habits and started my exercise again. Actually, the first day I did my Gazelle, I ended up doing it for 5 minutes and then throwing my back out. I guess that proves that it really doesn’t do me any good to take a few days off. 

I’ll be posting more in the days to come. I also have some reader comments to respond to, which I will get to, I promise! Thanks for reading!

Time For New Jeans Thanks To Skinny Fiber!

967529_10200833142884137_265286040_n

It’s a chilly day here in Upstate NY. It’s surprising for August. Craig and I had our wedding around this time in August 2007, and it was really hot. We’re barely hitting 60 degrees today, so I figured it was probably time to get out my jeans.

I’ve lost a little over 35 pounds since I last had those jeans on. So, I had a feeling they were going to be a little bit big. They’re HUGE! I’m not sure how many inches I’ve lost since I stopped doing my measurements after I finished the Skinny Fiber 90 Day Challenge. But, I have tons of extra material in my thighs, and I can easily take them off without unbuttoning them.

I remember the days when I had to lie down on my bed to even get them buttoned!

This is such an amazing feeling, and I’m so excited! I have no idea what size I am right now, but I do know that these jeans are a size 24. I would guess that I’m either an 18 or a 16. I’m probably going to wait until September to buy more jeans, but I will definitely have to buy some new ones. Hopefully I can find a good deal because I’m certainly not stopping now!

I can’t remember if I mentioned this or not, but I was really excited a couple of weeks ago to find that my rings no longer looked like they were choking my fingers. I hadn’t been able to take my wedding ring off in a really long time. I think it might have three or four years since I had it off. A few weeks ago, I was sitting on the couch, and I thought that I would try and see if it would come off. It did!

These are the types of victories that you just can’t measure with a scale. Yes, when I get on my scale and see that the number has gone down, I get really happy. But if you’re like me, you have a hard time seeing weight loss when you look in the mirror regardless of what the scale is telling you. I’ve never really been able to see a difference in myself in the mirror. When my clothes are more loose, and my jeans fit better, those are the types of victories that really let me know that something I’m doing is working.

I’ve done diet and exercise in the past. I’ve never been motivated enough to stick with a program long enough to see the results. Skinny Fiber helps me with that motivation. It’s taken away my cravings for sweet foods and replaced them with cravings for fresh produce and protein. It also gives me a physical burst of energy that helps me want to work out in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings too.

Without Skinny Fiber, I’d still be weighing in at over 250 pounds. This morning, I was at 217, and I know it won’t be long before I’ll be quickly approaching my big goal of being 130. If you’re a regular reader of mine, I’d like to thank you for all of your help in keeping me on the course toward that big goal.

And, hey! If you’re a new reader, welcome to my blog! I hope you’ll check out Skinny Fiber and join me on a weight loss journey of your own!

Clothes That Fit Better: Another Perk In My Weight Loss Journey With Skinny Fiber

This morning I was thrilled when I pulled a shirt out of my closet that I hadn’t worn in a few years. To be honest, it was a little tight when I bought it, but I was determined to make it work for the outfit I needed to wear. I don’t even know what year it was, but I know it was a long time ago.

As I looked at the shirt, I realized that it kind of looked like it was a little bit bigger than it was before. It’s interesting how our perspective changes as we lose weight. I thought I would try it on and see if it fit any better now that I had lost 32 pounds.

It fits perfectly!

Being able to wear clothes that I haven’t worn in a while has been one of my favorite parts about taking Skinny Fiber. Perhaps you’re like me, and you have some of those smaller clothes in your closet. At one point, you put them in there thinking, “Someday I’ll lose weight, and I’ll be able to wear that again.” You held onto those clothes in hopes that you would be losing weight eventually. The problem is, for most of us that day never comes.

That’s where I was for a really LONG time. In fact, most of those smaller clothes I once had disappeared. There were a few items that I gave away, but some of them just up and vanished. However, I do still have a couple of things that I’ve been hoping to wear again someday.

The next goal? To look into my closet and say, “Wow! I need to go shopping so I have some clothes that aren’t too big on me!” That will be an amazing accomplishment. I’m already looking forward to the fall/winter so that I can buy myself some new jeans. I only have two pairs of jeans right now, and it’s been a few months since I’ve worn them. I’m sure they’re quite big. It will be fun shopping for new jeans!

If you’ve tried to lose weight many times in the past, and you haven’t been successful, it might be time to try something different. Losing weight is a challenge, but it’s not one that’s too difficult when you have the right tools in your hands. Skinny Fiber has helped me tremendously, and I know that it can help you too.

What are your weight loss goals? Do you have any goals that aren’t measured by the scale?

I Eat Bacon…Every Day

Image

 

I’m just going to put this out there because, well…because it needs to be put out there. 

I eat bacon every day. I do. If you’ve been following my blog for any period of time, you’ve been there when I broke up with bacon, and you’ve been there when I celebrated bacon. I do love it, and I love it so much that I don’t deprive myself of it. When I want some, I eat it. 

I want it every day. 

“Bacon is bad for you!”

“You’re not going to lose weight!” 

“You need to exercise some restraint!”

I can hear you now. 

I didn’t say I eat a MOUNTAIN of bacon every day. No, that would definitely be going too far. However, I do eat a little bit each day. Most of the time, I’m putting already cooked bacon (meaning, that’s how we bought it, it was already cooked) on my wraps for lunch. I eat a half a wrap for my lunch, and that’s my bacon. 

It’s delicious. 

A half a piece is just fine. I’m not depriving myself, and I still get the bacon I love. I think that the reason a lot of diets don’t work out, is because we deprive ourselves of the things we love. Now, I don’t HAVE to eat bacon every day. I probably really don’t…it just seemed a little bit more funny to put that in a blog post. However, I do eat it a lot. I don’t overdo it. I practice moderation. 

It’s that moderation that makes me feel satisfied enough not to run to the county fair when it’s in town and get something deep-fried and covered in sugar. The thought of that makes me sick, and I know I have Skinny Fiber to thank for feeling that way. 

I’ve lost 32 pounds in four months. That’s a great accomplishment! I can’t wait to see what I weigh at the end of August. I’m hoping to hit a 40 pound weight loss by then. Do you think I can do it? 

Why not you?

30 Pounds Lost On Skinny Fiber!

Image

 

I’ve been flirting with a 30 pound weight loss for a few days now. Last weekend was a tough one, with a few different picnics with friends and family. I always struggle with those types of gatherings because I usually don’t drink enough water, and there are always too many pasta dishes at picnics. That includes dishes that my family brings. 

However, this morning when my scale said that I had lost 30 pounds, I was ecstatic! 

If you follow my blog, you know that I started this leg of my weight loss journey in March. Its been four months since I began taking Skinny Fiber, and although I wish I had lost a little bit more than 30 pounds, I can’t deny that I’m proud of myself. Especially since in the past, I wasn’t able to do this well with weight loss. Even during the time I lost 50 pounds when I was younger, it took me two years to do it. 

So, I’d say that 30 pounds in four months is pretty good! 

I get asked all the time, “How are you doing it?” It takes a lot of dedication to make it happen. It takes hard work and it also means not depriving myself. I think one of the reasons why diets don’t work, or why they take so long to see real results is because people deprive themselves of the things they love the most. It’s difficult to hang on your motivation for a long period of time, and eventually many of us give in. I’ve been guilty of that in the past, which is why Skinny Fiber works so well for me. 

Making healthy choices is much easier now that it ever was before. Chocolate was always a problem for me. I could never even walk through a grocery checkout line without picking up some kind of candy bar. Was I weak? Was I lacking in motivation and willpower? Certainly. 

Chocolate isn’t a factor for me anymore. Since I started taking Skinny Fiber, it doesn’t even taste the same to me. I haven’t had a bonafide chocolate craving in four months, and on the occasions when I have had chocolate or, some type of dessert, I’m able to eat just a small portion of it and feel satisfied. 

THAT is the boost I needed to lose weight and keep it off. THAT is what I was lacking when I tried to lose weight before. 

Also, with a PCOS diagnosis, losing weight can be very difficult, if not impossible. When I go for my physical in September, I’ll find out if that diagnosis still stands. I’m guessing it doesn’t.

For many of us, weight loss is a struggle. It’s a constant battle that we fight every single day. Some of us lose weight only to put it right back on again, either because of poor choices, lack of willpower, or because of hormonal fluctuations. If you’re struggling, and you’re tired of it, Skinny Fiber can help.

Yes, I’ve lost 30 pounds. I’m proud, but I’m not finished! I still have 93 to go. I’ll make it there, mark my words!  

Skinny Fiber: Listening To Your Body

Image

I just finished an hour-long Aqua Zumba workout. It was incredible! I love when I get to go to the local YWCA for my Aqua Zumba class. I worked off almost 900 calories today, when you add in my Gazelle workout in the morning. That’s a lot of calories, and I feel awesome right now, albeit a little bit tired.

When I got home from my workout, I was hungry. REALLY HUNGRY. My family had frozen pizza for dinner and as I waited for mine to get done, I fixed myself a nice, big salad. After I took my Skinny Fiber, of course. I ate my salad, and then I had my pizza. I usually eat two pieces, but for some reason, tonight I was a bit more hungry than I usually am at dinner time. I’m guessing it was because I worked off so many calories today. So, I added another piece of pizza. All in all, I still only had a net of just over 500 calories for my meals today. 

It’s important to listen to your body. If you’re paying attention, your body will tell you what it needs in order to function well. People have so many things they decide to cut out of their diets because they think they’re bad for them, however, your body needs a certain amount of protein and a certain amount of carbs in order to burn fat and build muscle. 

What I love about Skinny Fiber is that it really guides you as far as what you should eat and what you shouldn’t eat. It’s amazing how so many things that are good for me seem so appetizing, and the things that aren’t good for me (chocolate, cookies, cake, etc.) don’t tempt me anymore. 

I believe that learning to listen to your body is healthier than counting points or putting myself on a strict diet that I’m going to cheat on constantly, or that I’m going to be off in a week or so. I lived that way for far too long, and I’m not interested in doing it again. If you’ve just found this blog for the first time, take my word for it: Skinny Fiber works. I’m skeptical, and it’s been four months. If it didn’t work, I wouldn’t be here, telling you it did. I’ve lost 30 pounds, I look better than I have in years, and I feel better too. 

You can have the same results.

What Happens When You Mess Up?

Image

 

We’ve all been there.

We’ve all spent days…weeks…even months working on losing weight, only to spend one great weekend hanging out with friends over some great food, which ultimately resulted in a few pounds put on. I’ve had Monday mornings when I’ve woken up and thought, “There is no way I should even step on that scale. I know I gained a lot over the weekend.”

Interestingly enough, it takes a lot of extra calories being consumed before you will really gain weight long term. It’s actually taken you quite a while to gain what you’ve gained, just as it will take a long time to lose what you need to lose. I’ve seen some rough estimates online, but if you check out this guy’s blog, you’ll see his calculations, and they might help you feel a little bit better. According to him, you’d have to eat 5300 calories in one day to put on one pound of fat.

But why does the scale say that I’ve gained 3 pounds this weekend? 

I know, I know. That just doesn’t make sense, and it’s driving you crazy, right? I used to be the same way. Inevitably, I eat a little more during the weekends, and I would always beat myself up about it come Monday morning. Once you’ve conditioned your body to live on less calories, it actually becomes a calorie-burning machine. Once I get into a groove, I start losing quite a few pounds all at once, and it comes off pretty quickly. That’s because my body becomes accustomed to “this is the way we live now”. When I change things, even if I indulge in a snack on Saturday night, the weight gain I see Sunday morning is nothing but water weight. You’re confusing your body, and it will hang on to some of the water that’s in your food for a little while longer. 

The Good News

The good news is that once you get back in the swing of things, get a good workout under your belt, and drink the day away (with water!), you’ll find those pounds virtually disappear. It might take two days, but I’ve seen them vanish off of my scale overnight. It’s wonderful.

You’re not going to be perfect in your weight loss journey. You’re bound to slip up and give in to temptations here and there. And, yes, the result is going to be a little bit of weight gained back. However, if you keep on keepin’ on, you’ll take it right back on again. This is a journey, after all, and journeys come complete with bumps in the road, mountains to climb, and valleys to trudge through. 

Don’t give up! Get yourself re-focused and trust your body. It knows what it needs, and so do you.

There Will Come A Day

Image

 

This morning as I write this, I just finished weighing in, and I’m right on the brink of a 30 pound total weight loss since March 21. I’ve eaten my breakfast, and now I’m thinking about the fact that there will come a day when I won’t be overweight. 

There will come a day when I won’t have any real pressing weight concerns at all. That will be a wonderful day! That means I:

Won’t have to search for clothes that are “big enough” to fit me

Won’t have to worry about what I look like in pictures

Won’t have to be concerned about whether or not I will fit in amusement park rides

And so much more!

That will be a great day, indeed. As long as I stay on track, by this time next year, I’ll be at my goal weight. 

There will come a day, and I can’t wait!

Getting Rid Of Water Weight With Skinny Fiber

I always find it interesting that in order to get rid of water weight, you need to drink more water. During these hot months of summer (and it IS hot), drinking water is necessary for survival. In Upstate NY today, it was 97 degrees. That’s just crazy to me! Either way, right around the time of my period, I always put on a little bit of weight, which I know will come right back off.

I was right! When I weighed myself this morning, it had all come back off.

I love WordPress because it allows me to see what people are using to search for my site. Quite a few people have searched “What happens if I don’t lose weight on Skinny Fiber?” I wrote a blog post about that a while back, but I’d like to address it now, as long as we’re already talking about water.

If you’re not losing weight, it’s quite possible that you’re not drinking enough water. Many people don’t realize how much water they should really be drinking in a day. Unless you weigh 130 pounds, 8 – 8 oz. glasses of water is not enough. You should drink half of your body weight in water every day. Drink more if you want to.

And no, coffee doesn’t count. In fact, coffee can be quite dehydrating. I’ve cut my coffee consumption down to a travel mug of coffee most days. On weekends I might have two of those, but it’s rare for me to ever have three of them.

The first thing that Skinny Fiber does is help to detox your body to prepare it for weight loss. You’ll be amazed at how much “gunk” you have in your system. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to up my water intake, and quite honestly, I didn’t drink nearly enough for a long time. In fact, I hardly ever used to drink water unless I was really thirsty. I knew I needed to develop a habit of it, and I knew I needed a cool water bottle to help me establish that habit. I got my cool water bottle, and I downloaded an app on my phone that reminds me every so often to drink another 8 ounces of water. I need those reminders, and ever since I started using that app, it’s really helped me establish my water habit.

I’m happy to see the water weight disappear for yet, another month. I’m still working on combating the fact that I gain a little bit of water weight at all, but until I figure that out, I’ll have to keep on drinking it off again.
