Whenever I start to lose weight and share the details with the world wide web, or Facebook, because you know Facebook is pretty much the Internet these days, everyone will ask if I am dieting or what diet I am using. I do not diet. Ever. Period. Point Blank. I refuse to give up pizza and coffee. I refuse to restrict what I “can” eat and “cannot” eat, I know I would fail at such an attempt.
Pictured above is my not so proud stomach, three kids later and covered in stretch marks but oh well, it is who I am. I am pictured in June weighing about 214lbs, now I am down to 208lbs and it has stayed at 208lbs for a week. Hoping that I can get that scale to tip below 200lbs soon because I have not been below 200lbs in two years. I know I can do it.
Pictured above after a nice hot EA Sports Active workout, which I haven’t been doing lately. I completed 20 workouts and just sort of stopped because I have a ton going on and have been walking a crazy amount anyways. I am constantly on the go but I do eat and I do walk more than drive. I can thank my busy kids for losing weight in all honesty and the Weight Loss Guru Program.
Currently I am doing a test drive of Weight Loss Guru and it’s really helping my brain to be on track with my fitness goals. Prior to taking part in Weight Loss Guru my brain would have all of these dang craving for fattening foods. I could seriously eat two cheeseburgers and a medium fry without blinking. That is insane, but my brain always went along with my belly saying “feed me fat now”.
Now that I have been keeping up with the videos that Pete Cohen shares on Weight Loss Guru to train your brain and motivate you, I am happy to say I am staying at 208lbs for the moment and lost that from starting at 222lbs. I was going up and down in weight for a long time, even since June and to see that my weight is staying at 208lbs for now is a huge accomplishment. I am truly fighting the cravings and eating smarter.
Good luck in your weight loss. I’m also struggling with mine and am renewing my promise to myself to get down to 60kg by end of the year.

My adult life has been a weight rollercoaster. It seems like every 5 years I go from 180 to 230 lbs and back. I’ve tried both approaches so far: diet and excercise and I have to say they work equally well for me. In 2004 I got down to 178 while preparing for a grueling martial arts test and this year, i’m almost down to that by dieting. I think you’re doing fine using whichever way works best for you in your current situation and head-space.

Something I continue to struggle with as well. I can say that I absolutely love Pete Cohen’s videos though! Absolutely inspiring.
