Things to Start Doing If You Want to Lose Weight
I can go on and on about body positivity and the dangers of yo-yo dieting, but, at the end of the day, I'm someone who spends a lot of time at the gym. I pride myself on how many pull-ups I can do, and I'm way too happy to fit into slim-fit jeans. I talk to my friends and people I've just met about working out like the worst. Specific questions, goals, accomplishments—I just go on and on! But I also gain weight sometimes and have to start all over again, which is why I know all of these best things to start doing if you want to lose weight.

Tips and Tricks to Losing Water Weight
Hello, my little lovelies! So one of the tricky things about weight loss, especially for women, is water weight. For some reason, God has a thing against women so we have to carry a lot of water weight in our bellies. Now the body is supposed to have a certain amount of water weight, but the reason why a lot of overweight people like myself have excessive water weight is because we don't drink enough water. Sounds crazy right? How can we have excess water weight even though we don't drink any water? Good question!

Vacation and Weight Management
I recently went on vacation with my family and I managed to not gain a single pound. Sure, if I went to the Olympic training center, this would not be much of a feat; however, we went to Michigan. Additionally, we ate out one to two times a day for 7 days. And still, I did not gain a pound. We ate ice cream, we ate pizza, we ate burgers, we drank drinks. I did not have a lot of water nor did I sleep very well. From eating habits alone, it seems like I should have gained 10 pounds!

You Can Accomplish Whatever You Put Your Mind To!
I know first hand just how difficult it is to lose weight and feel great! I have faced depression more times than I care to admit, and needless to say, the struggle is beyond real when it comes to the weight gain weight loss life yo-yo! The best advice I heard one day was: “Strive for progress not perfection! Don't give up!! Slow progress is good progress!” Those words hit me and it slapped me so hard in the face that it woke me right up!! It was the wake up call I was needing all my life! It made me feel like I wasn’t alone on this journey, that someone out there understood my pain and that it’s OK to have trouble and go slowly! The whole fitness journey the world is raving about is very intimidating, especially if you have tried so many times and failed each time. After having a baby, I gained a lot of extra weight. I don’t know what I was thinking but one thing is for sure, I thought it would all just magically disappear after the baby was born. To my surprise, I looked great after the baby’s birth but it was the next few weeks that really did it to me. As I recovered from my c-section, working out was not allowed and the food train I was on during pregnancy was still very much in motion! I wasn’t controlling my food intake and a combination of that, taking care of the baby and resting as much as possible, took me on a road that I never want to travel again! I gained 80 pounds and I was simply not myself! Depression took over and I became a hermit. I didn’t come out of my shell until I had no other choice. My body hurt so bad all over and the baby was growing so fast and began to crawl. I was mortified with myself the moment I said, “Aww man, she’s crawling! Now I have to get up and go after her!” I quickly realized what a horrible thing it was to say that, and it was then that my world changed! THAT was my turning point! I started to work out and slowly but surely, I got real serious! It took me about a year, but I did it!! Not only did I lose weight, but I lost more than I thought I even could!

Why You're Not Losing Weight
So, you decided to start a new diet to drop a few pounds for bikini season (or trunks season). You threw out your junk food, started hitting the gym a few days per week and cut your daily calorie intake in hopes to lose weight. You step on the scale once a week and notice that it's not budging! You're confused about why you haven't lost weight, even though you're eating less and working out more.

Freeze Away Fat?
My experience with Cool Sculpting for love handles: This year I have changed my lifestyle dramatically. I have started going to the gym 3 days a week, a dance class 1 day a week, sitting in the sauna 3 days a week, drinking lots more water, and eating healthier (smaller portions, more veggies, less carbs, calorie counting). Yet despite all my hard work, I could not get my love handles to go away! I saw my legs, arms, and stomach getting toned and the number on the scale going down, but my problem area (love handles) just wouldn't budge.
