I Wanna Lose!

Weight loss -- here we go again!!

Do you ever feel like everything is conspiring against you to lose weight?

I feel like this happens to me all of the time. And, to top it off, my husband decided that he was going to lose a few pounds and poof, he did it. I have been struggling for months and months to lose weight and break below 180 and he loses almost 20 pounds without any problem.

So here is a recap of the past month. I tried the Candida Diet which really is amazing for your body. However, it is really tough to stick with. I did have some great learnings from the plan, though:

- even the soy milk we drink has sugar…argh!
- I really need to be careful about eating too many carbs – my body functions better when I eat more protein and vegetables
- don’t ask questions, just eat organic – there are all kinds of pesticides, antibiotics and steroids in most of the dairy and meat we eat

I need something more than Weight Watchers to help me lose weight as this program does not really prevent you from eating poor quality foods. Weight Watchers offers you excellent accountability and tracking, though.

So, in an effort to never give up…I am going to focus my weight loss efforts on the premises of the Abs Diet with some touches from the Gold Coast Cure. The Abs Diet offers a great structure to help you focus while the Gold Coast Cure imparts a great deal of wisdom toward the quality of food you eat!

Wish me luck and let’s see if these two tools make a difference in the weight loss arena!!
