Today's A-Z Blogging Challenge - I am a Loser!! Are you???

The letter L, the first thing that came to mind was Loser.  I am a loser, certainly not the biggest loser, but consistently losing pounds each week.  You don't have to remind me, I know my weight was up 5.5 pounds last week, but that was water gain.  As of this morning my weight was at pre-vacation weight.  I hope by Monday when I do an official weigh-in that there will be more than a 5.5 pound drop.  

Are you staying consistent in your weight loss?  If you are consistently losing, you are doing great.  Even if you are losing a small amount, you are still making progress.  Each little bit adds up to a large amount.  Don't beat yourself up because your weight loss isn't huge each and every week.  Just work to develop a downward pattern and keep doing the things that you know you need to do to get to a healthy weight.

Tell me, have you exercised regularly this week?  Do you step it up occasionally?  Give your body a challenge, don't allow your body to get totally used to what your are doing.  You will see more progress if you change things up a little and push yourself.

As far as diet is concerned, I believe the biggest aspect of my weight loss is eating very little wheat or wheat products and little to no sugar.  If I eat this way it eliminates all the processed foods.  I think eating things in their natural state is not only great for your health it is also fantastic for weight loss.  I try to eat meats, fruits and vegetables, nuts, and a small amount of dairy.  I occasionally allow myself a piece or two of pizza.  

You know if we all work at it we can be the "biggest losers" in our blog family.  We can all encourage each other!!
