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!

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.

An Update And A Thank You To My Readers

Image

 

During the past few hours, it occurred to me that I needed to come here and write a post before too much time went by. It’s not that I’ve fallen off of any wagon, or anything. I’m completely on track, and I’m feeling pretty good! The issue is that every other month I have to work on a BIG project, and as the due date approaches, it really eats up a lot of my time. So far this week, I’ve been completely devoted to it, and I’m happy to say that I believe it’s about done. Ah…the life of a writer! I do love it. 

As I thought about what to write, I checked the stats for this blog and I was blown away. Even when I’m not writing for a few days, I still get some visits every day. For that, I want to say THANK YOU!

The fact that you’re reading this blog (if you’re a regular visitor) means that you’re curious about what you can do differently to help yourself lose weight. If this is your first visit to my blog, welcome! If you read on, you’ll find lots of great information here. By reading my posts, you’ll learn that I’m a real person with a lot of weight to lose. I have a little more than 90 pounds left to go, but I’m OK with that. It’s less than the 123 pounds I had to lose a few months ago. You’ll learn something else too.

I’m a Skinny Fiber consultant, but no one has “programmed” anything into me. Every couple of days I think that I should probably start doing some training so that I’m able to lead those who decide they want to do what I’m doing and help others lose weight. However, the truth is that I’m busy. I haven’t had time to do any training yet. That might be my downfall. However, I’m not doing this to get rich. It would be great if I did, but honestly, I’m more interested in helping other people with the pain they feel from being overweight. There’s physical pain and emotional pain associated with knowing you weigh more than “they” say you should. I’ve seen others say things about Skinny Fiber on their blogs or other websites, and you won’t hear any of that from me. You’ll hear the truth. I’ll talk about my struggles and my triumphs. I’m a real human being, a mother of three, the wife of a truck driver, and a professional writer who works for herself. I speak the truth in this blog, and you’re invited to join me in my journey – you may even want to embark on one of your own. 

So…for an update. I just finished my “monthly visitor” and I’ve been a little bit frustrated over the past few days because I put on a few pounds. I know that it’s just water weight. It happens to me every month, and I just up my water intake for a few days, and it comes right back off. Today I burned a lot of calories. I was up early this morning (wow…that’s a LONG story), and I was able to start my workout (and finish!) before 8 am. This afternoon I was able to go to my Aqua Zumba class (I had to miss it last week). So, that’s a total of 90 minutes of exercise today. 

I’m beat!

As this big project of mine winds down, and I start to get back into my regular groove with work, I’ll be writing more again. If you’re a regular, thanks for sticking with me. If you’re new to this blog, hang on for the ride! I’ve still got a lot of weight to lose, and I’m not giving up until it’s GONE.

Setting My Body Right With Skinny Fiber

I was excited when I weighed myself this morning. I have lost a grand total of 28.9 pounds! There are some that would say I should just call it 29, or even 30. However, I’ve been brutally honest about my weight loss, and I’m not about to stop now. 

This has been a great journey, so far. There are so many things that are getting set right in my body, and it all started when I began taking Skinny Fiber in March. I’m continually losing the weight I want to lose. I know I have a long way to go, but I know I’ll get there, one pound at a time.

My menstrual cycle has become regulated. Since April, I’ve had a period every month. It hasn’t always been the same number of days apart, but before then, I hadn’t had a period since January. This month it came just when the app on my phone said it should come. I think that might be helping me feel better too. 

Making healthy food choices is getting to be much easier. This past weekend, I did really well with my eating, and I didn’t gain any weight when the weekend was over! I call that success. I’m hoping that I hit 30 pounds lost before the weekend gets here. That would be amazing! 

How are you doing on your weight loss goals? If you want to know more about Skinny Fiber, I’d love to talk to you about it. Contact me today!

Skinny Fiber: Enjoying The Journey

Image

 

It’s been quite a journey so far. This afternoon I’ve been thinking a lot about how far I’ve come, and how far I still have yet to go. It’s been easier than I ever thought it would be, and now that I’ve lost 26 pounds, I’m looking back and reflecting quite a bit on where I started.

When I began taking Skinny Fiber, I was 253 pounds. At my heaviest non-pregnancy weight, I was 259. I’m not sure when I lost those six pounds, but they probably came off really slowly once I started eating a little bit better during the day. 

In January, I decided I was going to work on losing some weight (like half of the rest of the country), and I started on a weight loss regimen that I quit after only three days. There were too many temptations out there, and I gave in to all of them. I started trying to go the weight loss surgery route until it became obvious that I wasn’t going to be able to afford it. Needless to say, that was the end of that part of my journey. 

In March, I decided that it was now or never. I had heard about Skinny Fiber, and I had seen pictures of people who had success with it. I decided to give it a try, and see if it would work for me. 

I haven’t looked back.

26 pounds is quite an accomplishment for someone who had trouble sticking to a weight loss plan that would allow her to lose two pounds in a week’s time. I’m feeling so much better than I ever have before, and each day I see that scale going down more and more. It’s a great feeling to know that there WILL come a day when I will look at myself in the mirror and see a person who is the weight she should be. It will be nice to go to the doctor and not immediately begin having a conversation about my weight. I’m so tired of having those conversations. 

My weight loss isn’t happening overnight because Skinny Fiber is not a supplement that just melts the fat off of your body. It takes a lot of hard work and it takes discipline. However, Skinny Fiber has given me the boost I need to be successful, and that’s all I really needed…a big BOOST!

If you’d like to know more about Skinny Fiber, I’d love the chance to talk to you. This blog is full of great information, like how much water you should drink in a day, and how important it is to get enough exercise. Follow my journey, and create one of your own in the process. If you’d like to know more, or if you have any questions, contact me!

Skinny Fiber: Does It Work For Guys?

Image

 

I’ve spent a lot of time thus far on this blog talking about how much Skinny Fiber has worked for me. I’m now down 26 pounds, and I’m thrilled with those results. However, today I wanted to talk about how great Skinny Fiber is for men too.

Skinny Fiber isn’t a woman’s supplement. Yes, it helps with PCOS, and it seems to be helping me have healthier hair and nails. However, it also helps with blood pressure. Above all, it suppresses the appetite and helps you make healthier food choices. That makes it perfect for men.

I know one of the things my husband complains about all the time is the fact that he’s “always hungry”. He works a very active job, and he’s constantly working out. He’s a delivery driver (four days a week), and each day he lifts thousands of pounds. As a result, he needs to eat a high number of calories. I think this complaint is probably a pretty normal one for men. 

Skinny Fiber can give you that full feeling you’ve been missing. It can also help you make wiser food choices by reducing your cravings for salty foods or sweet foods. You’ll want to make better food choices, and no matter how active your job is, you’ll be motivated to exercise above and beyond that. 

Skinny Fiber can work for you (men) just like it’s working for me. I’m still on my journey, and I have a long way to go. However, I will get there! Will you come along with me?

Why Become A Skinny Fiber Consultant?

When I first ordered my Skinny Fiber, I had no idea that I would one day become a consultant. I had seen people posting pictures about the incredible amount of weight they had lost, and I thought it sounded like something I should try. Perhaps I could have similar results. 

So, I placed my order, and I waited patiently until my Skinny Fiber came in the mail. I was really excited to try it! When it came, I took my first dose, and about 20 minutes later, I just felt like I needed to get out and exercise. I didn’t feel jittery, I just felt energized. That night, I HAD to go for a walk. I just had to be active, and at that time, walking was the only thing I could do that I thought might not kill me. I could only walk for about 15-20 minutes, but it was enough to get the ball rolling. A week later, I was pulling 30 minutes at a time on my Gazelle.

About a week into it, I realized that I no longer had a craving for sweets. Before Skinny Fiber, I always wanted something sweet. If a day went by and I didn’t eat chocolate, something was wrong. Suddenly, I was turning down desserts because they just didn’t sound appetizing. 

After I had taken Skinny Fiber for about three weeks, I decided that I wanted to share it with others. I wanted people to know about this amazing supplement. No one had to sell me on it. I sold myself on it. I signed up to be a consultant because it seemed like the right thing to do. It didn’t have anything to do with wanting to make money off of a product, or anything like that. 

I know the pain I’ve dealt with (both physically and emotionally) for most of my life because I’ve been overweight. I know how hard it has been for me to just get a few pounds off here and there. I know how I’ve struggled, and even sought out weight loss surgery because I didn’t see any other way. I lived through being insulted when I was a college student, walking through the streets of Boston when I was 18 years old. Two guys were passing me while I was eating ice cream, and one of them said to me, “You don’t need that.” I was so upset, I threw it in the garbage and sat down and cried. 

I was tired of going to amusement parks and being picky about which ride I rode because I wasn’t able to fit in the seats. 

I was tired of not being able to walk long distances because my feet hurt, or my back hurt, or I was out of breath. I was even considering purchasing one of those chairs that folds up and fits in your pocket, so you can take it out and sit down when you have to wait in long lines. 

And I couldn’t help but think that maybe other people had experienced the same type of thing. If there’s a chance that I could help any of them, I wanted to do it. That’s why I became a Skinny Fiber consultant. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if you do too, after you see how great it works for you. 

If you’d like more information on becoming a Skinny Fiber consultant, or, if you’d just like to give Skinny Fiber a try, please contact me today! This supplement will change your life, just like it changed mine.
