The important part of falling is the getting up. Once you fail, try again, until you get it right. I’ve had several attempts to get into a certain diet but many times I’ve failed. I’ve experienced success until I decided to discontinue. Getting back seems to be more difficult, though.

Now that partly my diet has something to do with my asthma, in addition to my weight gain, I will take hold of my diet once again not just to weigh lighter but also to have a better health to be able to have a better respiratory system. I don’t think I need to take weight loss pills. I will take everything as natural as possible.

I seem to be failing in my effort to reach my desired weight. I have successfully weighed less but it still is not enough. It’s just that one moment in my life I just stopped what I used to do when I was succeeding. I’ve been eating rice for about 2 months now. I thought to start again but it did not last long. I don’t eat much rice, though, but I still gain more than I should, I think. I started my exercise but did not follow through also. 

I need to put and exert extra effort to reach my goal. I know! Otherwise I might end up needing some weight loss pills!

For the past few weeks but to less than two months I noticed I got myself into eating rice again. I just did not care for awhile whether I gain weight or not. Since I am into swimming twice a week for my asthma, I guess that’s the reason why I’m not gaining as much as I should. Nevertheless I’m going overweight again and that is bad.

Who among your has tried Lipofuze? I’m reading the Lipofuze review and will weigh my decision later.

Last night, when hubby arrived, he brought me something I wished for: a weighing scale!

My weight loss journey:

- I was able to know my weight in Feb. 2010 when I had a checkup for asthma: 154 lbs. That made me Obese Class A.

- I started a no-rice diet in July 2010.

- I was able to weigh myself again in Dec. 31, 2010: 140 lbs. That made me normal but borderline to Overweight.

- Between the 2 weigh-ins, I’ve eaten a lot during feasts and outings…except rice.

- Had VERY little exercise then.

- Last night, when I weighed myself, I dropped to 136 lbs. Still borderline by a point but at least I’m getting lighter.

Between the first two weigh-ins, I lost 14 lbs in 10 months but the concentration could have been from July so that will be 5 months only (average of almost 3 lbs. per month). From Jan. 1 up to last night is 2 months and I lost 4 lbs. only. I know it takes lesser to lose as the time gets longer.

Anyway, my target is between 125 and 130 lbs. That was my weight before I got married.

Now, I don’t have to keep on guessing or wondering how I could be weighing.

My family just arrived from Church service today (Saturday). In addition to the weekly worship and fellowship with likeminded people, I get to see my siblings, mother, nephew and nieces.

As the weeks went by, I noticed today the change in their bodies. They’re slimming improvement has been quite noticeable! I asked them what they did, especially if they have taken diet pills for women or did some specific exercise. The youngest among us takes coffee and tea, eats no rice and nothing after 6pm. The older (I’m the eldest among us 3), had more exercise like gym and biking and no rice too.

I guess I have to ask more details too next week when we have more time to talk.

Whether it is for plain beauty or for health reasons, slimming and weighing down has been a profitable income generator for marketers and manufacturers alike due to the large market wanting to reduce but just couldn’t without the help of certain pills, programs or surgical procedure.

Are you one of those who tried to lose weight or slim down? What efforts have you done to reach your goal? Have you tried diet pills, appetite suppressants, certain natural diets? Would you care to share what worked (and what did not) for you?

Most married women grow their belly fat as they age. They may be the slimmest when they were still single and free but could also be the biggest when married and kids are big they are. Why is that? I guess it’s the lack of mobility. Either a wife is also working in an office environment, seated all day, or in the kitchen preparing food and eating them too…often more than enough especially if she loves cooking and has no problem with budgeting at all.

When a wife is about ten years married, the belly fat gets more obvious you could no longer miss it even when you try to cover it with a clothing style that’s supposed to diminish one’s ‘floater’ around the waistline. Unless something conscious is done, it will stay there and grow bigger that your figure will be like a Coca-Cola body…Coke 2000!

It took me 17 years to fully realize I got to do something with my own belly fat. Actually some 7 years ago I tried to make my own hot lotion. It’s meant to be rubbed around the fatty areas and let it stay while asleep. It was chili hot. I believe it made some difference. I just wasn’t able to follow up because of the difficulty in preparing the lotion. Maybe I should try it again. I made my own, by the way, because buying similar lotion is rather expensive.

I want to do everything in my power first before I try to take fat burning supplements. I want my figure back which I had in 1993… before I got married.

What do you think of when you see little kids that are too big for their age? Do you think they’re cute?

Usually, it happens when first-time mothers give everything to their first child. When this mother happens to be rich, she would feed everything her baby likes. Naturally the baby will look pumped for overeating. Most say it’s cute.

Some poor mothers, on the other hand, still give everything they can, thinking they won’t want their baby suffer what they have been through so they’ll pamper the baby so much.

These are but 2 examples of situations that could have been controlled. When I see such kids, I pity them. Why? They are those that are more likely to have heart problems when they get into adulthood. They also tend to eat more and more when they are depressed and have problems. Then it’s difficult for them to lose those pounds so they get depressed even more.

They may go into weight loss diet or fat burning exercises but if their motivation won’t stay long enough, they may lose what little hope they have.

What’s done can only be resolved by working out the reverse but would it not be better if it did not happen in the first place? Mother, if you love your baby, don’t start to make him/her obese.

I pity children who are left by their parents to be obese. They are killing their children early on! Why? These obese children are prone to having a heart problem when they become adults. Giving every food (or junk food for that matter) to give everything a parent can give because they can afford it, is not a good reason at all. Not only are those parents killing their children but they are creating an object for schoolmates to tease…and since obese are hardly able to move fast, they are also prone to being clumsy.

Then when they become teenagers, their self-confidence becomes low. When they reach singlehood, they will be looking for weight loss solutions. Hopefully, they look around first before buying and not just buy what is the latest or what is popular. Look for Adipex side effects first before you actually buy it…or any other brand, for that matter.

You can also ask around for their experiences. If you, reading this now, know something about any weight loss solution, perhaps you can share it with us and help others decide.

Ask different people and you’ll get different answers. The same is true when you ask so-called experts. Even if you search online, some say this and that while others say another, though at some points they will be the same.

Why is that?

1. Most give incomplete answers.

2. Some are fake, false, hoax.

3. People have differing cell reactions to certain solutions like allergies and metabolism issues.

What ?can we do then? Compare, compare and compare! While there may be a list of foods that burn fat on one site, go search for more as some answers may be lacking. Read the comments too so you see what others know.
