HOW I LOST 52 POUNDS
1-Hi Everyone my name is Tara Firman I am 46 years old always lived in Ohio the "Heart of it all" state.By the way if you don't feel like reading all about me jump down to paragraph 3. I've been dealing with weight issues since I was 10 years old or so. I was packing on 10 pounds every year. My mom tried helping me she took me to a doctor they found out my thyroid was borderline. I had to take a pill to regulate it & eat not only 3 meals a day but snacks too. It was kind of embarrassing because my mom told my 4th grade teacher mrs.Stamper.She informed the whole class that I would be eating before lunch & after. My classmates thank God were actually very nice,no bullies & understood my health dietary needs. I wasn't losing at least I don't think I was.

Ever heard of the name Love Handle? Well, the pleasantly sounding moniker is not so cute once you get to know it is the other name for your side-body fat. Love Handle or Side Fats are excess energy your body stores in the oblique regions of your torso. Side fats could be absolutely harrowing to appeal if you are self-conscious about your physique.

Why Fasting is the Quickest Way to Drop Pounds
I speak of this because I know the journey of weight gain, weight loss and everything in between. Cravings being at the core. As a technically obese person now, I speak firsthand about the success I have had from fasting. There have been 3 times in my life that I have lost significant weight from basically lowering my intake of food/calories. In short, all I was doing was fasting. You can call it OMAD or intermittent, but these methods allowed me to get out of the overweight category as a 12 year old in a month and a half time frame (losing 30 lbs). Into my ideal range at the age of 23 (60lbs), and on my way back there now at 32. The significance of me going through it now is that I have recognized my patterns and what I fail at and what has worked. In short, when I don't eat for a day, I lose two pounds by the next morning. If I do OMAD (one meal a day), I can lose 1 pound by the next morning or two if I don't overdo it and eat exceptionally light (like vegetables and a low carb). Keeping it up over time will allow me to reach my goal weight in a few months time frame if I can minimize my stress and navigate social food setbacks like seeing a treat on the kitchen table and avoiding big dinners. Taking in liquids that revive me like fresh water and mineral salts, celery juice, coconut water, or maybe coffee keep me in a steady and satisfied state. I am convinced that this works. I have lost 22 pounds so far in a month and a half and I feel great. The fasting has kept my cravings at bay, which in turn has kept me in a positive mental state. I'm not spiralling, yo-yoing back and forth, though I do think that learning about yourself is the greatest gain from that experience. Yes, fasting is the way for me, and it could be for you. Not for just losing weight but just for the mental clarity. It's a journey though, so be prepared for the long haul.

Can I lose weight without the diet?
There are so many apps and websites out there of how to stay healthy and what to eat for that hourglass shape. Do they really work? Do you get the best results. Yes, of course you can and yes, some do work. It's not about what you eat, but how much. It's perfectly fine to have a cheat day once a week. This helps your body to keep the weight off in the long run. I can't tell you how many apps and diets I've used over the past twelve years. This journey began when my son was born, you guessed right, twelve years ago. I gained over 65 pounds, supposedly the limit is 35, and It took almost two years to lose it and some. What I have learned through this process is the best way to lose weight, stay in shape, and feel your best is to workout EVERYDAY. Everyone has twenty to thirty minutes in a day to squeeze in a workout. When my numbers stopped dropping and I had a goal to lose more, I started counting calories with MyFitnessPal app. I lost ten pounds in two weeks just by counting calories and staying under 1200 calories a day. I didn't cut out carbs and sugar completely, but I did lower my intake. I would eat egg whites and wheat toast in the morning, an apple for my 10 AM snack, a salad with protein cheese and veggies without dressing (this took a lot of time to get used to because I LOVE DRESSING), 3 PM snack of a spoon full of peanut butter, and then dinner was meat with veggies. If you like that night cap at dinner, have a cocktail with less sugar. Instead of my glass of wine at dinner, I switched to a vodka soda with EXTRA lemons. That gave me my cocktail and fizz that I enjoyed. On top of that, I did kickboxing twice a week and ran a couple miles the other three days a week all on my hour lunch break. I firmly believe in working out and a lot of cardio at least three days a week. I do five sometimes six days because I love the way it makes me feel. Now a days, I started using the FitOn app on my phone. Some of these workouts are less than twenty minutes, but you'll feel it all day. The app has personal trainers from all over the Country. The best part is that it is FREE. No FEE EVER. All in all, we have to remember the smallest changes can make a big difference. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. When I first heard that, I thought "Yeah Right", but after the past couple years of telling myself that and doing it properly, It is true. Instead of a big beef patty, try a veggie or turkey burger. Take the bun and replace it with a lettuce wrap. I can't tell you how many times I made a taco salad with plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough.
