The weighing scale told me i lost 14 lbs since january - the month i started with belletoday. I looked at the graph and realized that i was indeed losing pounds - on some weeks i plateaud but still, i was losing fat (i think) steadily. I didn't feel different except that my old skirts fit again and a lot of my friends commented on my slimmer silhoutte. I'm beginning to think i can really hit my desired weight. Yeah, slow but sure is the way to go!

I have a friend who swears to the effectivtiy of Zhen de shou. I can see she has lost pounds but i am not comfortable popping diet pills as there might be terrifying side effects. What happens after she stops eating these pills?

So while i really want to see my toes again, i guess i'll just have to open belletoday for affirmation. i lost 3 pounds in two weeks but the graph says i had been slowly but steadily losing some weight. I like that. My secret? Reading belletoday and trying at least to follow 40 percent of what's being shared. Works for me.

I now see the importance of mirrors - and i think not having one (those really large ones, not the one in the bathroom that get's all foggy) was the culprit to my horrible weight gain. I could not see my reflection so the image i had of myself was still the same. This is the reason why i get bewildered why the clothes don't fit anymore and i am led by sales clerks to the section for full-bodied women. So tomorrow i will shop for a mirror which i will set up in a place that would remind me to be conscious of what i eat and to take care of my health.

The past week was just so crazy i wasn't able to go to the gym. I tried to make up by taking a walk as much as possible. I also continued slugging more water which made me run to the restroom every now and then. My schedule is not too hectic next week so i'm thinking of perhaps losing 2 pounds. That would be 5lbs lost in January - not too bad. I just hope that this slide will continue.

I want to lose 20 lbs by July. That's at least 4 lbs every month!

Last year, at about this time, I was bent on losing weight so i hit the gym almost daily and lost 6 pounds in one month. But then my schedule went crazy again so i gained back my weight and then some. This time, i plan to take it slow. A pound a week would be fine with me and it seems i'm hitting the target. I no longer fret if i can't go to the gym. I am more gentle with myself and give in to cravings at least once a week. I hope this time i can keep off the pounds for good!
