FAQ

1.What made you decide to lose weight?

Well I decided to lose weight because I want to be healthy
And im tired of feeling so tired all the time and im tired of not
being able to do the things i wish i could. i dont wanna wish anymore
i just wanna do things! and also a big part of losing weight is that my husband and i can have the family we always dreamed of.

2.What diet plan are you following?

Well Ive tried several different diets. and most of them dont work.
yes i have also tried diet pills and none of them do anything for me either,But like i always say dont NOT try something because it didnt work for me. you gotta try things on your own and see what works for you. Currently i am following calorie counting on weekends and weight watchers during the week. i love weight watchers because you can eat a variety of foods and stay within points and not have to worry about the whole counting calories. but i have always loved counting calories because for me i tend to lose more weight counting my calories. im pretty sure i might be going back to calorie counting full force with in the next week or so.

I started losing weight the very same day i made my Youtube channel which was August 29,2009

4.How much weight have you lost?

I work out 5 days a week.

7.Do you have cheat days?

I have one cheat day per month. but I do not take advantage of that.
but i am planning on getting rid of the cheat day because it sets me back sometimes. just one meal sets me back! thats crazy lol. sometimes the cheat day or cheat meal can become cheat week or even month. i am learning to control it though.

8.do you ever feel like giving up?

Yes there are plenty of times where i just get over whelmed with my personal life that i just cant focus properly. and i just wanna give up. because im an emotional eater. so being stressed,or sad or angry just makes me wanna eat. and that doesnt work when you are losing weight.
