Inch By Inch Weight Loss

by Marilyn.

No comments yet

I have dieted my whole adult life. I’ve tried it all: Eating sensibly (HA!), fasting, giving up desserts, not eating between meals, eating only salads and vegetables, eating only protein, drinking lots of water and lots more that I can’t even remember. I thought one of the best diet plans was “eat less and do more.” Sounds like it should work. But, I think the problem with it was . . . There were no guidelines and no boundaries. How much food is less? How much exercise is more? It wasn’t easy to measure.

Eureka! I’ve finally found the answer. I’ve now lost 40 pounds and I’m keeping it off. It’s been over a year since I hit that goal. I know my eating habits have changed. Now, I’m much more aware of everything I eat.

My starter kit included a software program. I entered my stats and preferences and the program customized my plan. By following the personalized meals that were set up or designing my own menu thru the system, I lost about 2 pounds a week. Slow and steady.

The best part is that I lost fat, not muscle. With most diets, you lose muscle along with the fat. When you stop the diet, you start gaining the weight back, but it’s all fat. Diet after diet, you keep losing muscle until your metabolism is shot.

The secret with the Inch Loss Plan is Leucine. Leucine helps retain muscle as you lose weight. It’s a secret that athletes have known for years. Call me a believer. But, losing pounds isn’t the focus of the Inch Loss Plan. It’s the inches I lost! I lost 29 inches and they’re never coming back.

Click the Ball

I remember WAY BACK to the first version of Windows, when computer users played Solitaire. Maybe some of us still do. A waste of time? I don’t think so. Sure, it’s fun, but it’s also good for your mind to play games. Just don’t do it all day long.

Years ago, mom wanted to learn a little about using a computer. I introduced her to Solitaire. After playing about 15 minutes, she had mastered the mouse.

So, when I ran across this game, I took a few minutes to play. Start by putting the mouse cursor inside the box. When you click on the ball, it will change color.

Click the ball!

You’ll find the game here.
Thank you, mazzanet Productions.

What’s For Dinner? Salad

Lettuce, tomato and cucumber. That makes a salad. But, it’s pretty boring. And if it’s topped with a creamy dressing, it could be packed with empty calories.
