And since this blog is as much mine as it is yours, I figured I should at least do something I’ve asked you to do: Share weight loss before and after photos.
It’s one thing to take a before-and-after photo to keep tucked away in your sock drawer as a tool to motivate you to make sure you never fit into a size 16 again. but, it’s entirely another to share that same photo with all of the Web.
But here I go. So there I am. Above. my before and *almost* after (I still have 15 pounds to go until my goal weight.)
I’m by no means done. becoming fit and healthy does not stop for me when I reach a certain number on the scale. after running my first 5k, I actually feel like my journey has just begun.
This is just to show you that I’m a normal person like you. Working as hard as I can to become the healthiest, fittest version of myself that I can in a slow, steady, and healthy way.
I haven’t used any fad or crash diets. As I’ve written before, I simply changed my eating habits, started exercising more, and have made small lifestyle changes that have somehow added up over time. (If you want to see what tools I have used on a daily basis, you can check out that post here.)
Now that I’ve shared my before-and-(almost)-after, I want to see yours. It doesn’t matter if you’re not done yet, or if you think you can’t visibly see a change. You’re making an effort, and ultimately, in my book, that effort over time is what really counts.
Submit your weight-loss before-and-after photos here. You can even upload a “before” and upload an “after” sometime later.

Number of nice advices from chefandrebourdages.com along with rtrips.com. it is quite common to start your diet with a lot of enthusiasm and then to have that same enthusiasm disappear after a couple of weeks when you haven’t lost as much weight as you hoped to lose. once in a while you’ll luck out and get great results but most of the time you will have to be very persistent and it will take a lot more time. this is why you should learn as much as you can about what actually works in terms of weight loss, no matter what kind of diet that you really want to try.
Do you switch from diet to diet to diet quickly? this is actually really common; it’s a mistake that lots of people have made. You can’t expect a diet to work instantly, no matter which diet you have chosen; if you don’t give your diet the chance to really work, you can’t honestly complain if you do not lose as much weight as you want to lose. when you change diets you confuse your mind as well as your body. Choose the diet very carefully and then stick with it for at least a few months so that you can get a fair idea of what it really does for you. then you can review and see if it is worth sticking with. Don’t, however, switch diets every couple of weeks or none of them will work for you.
When it comes to diets, the one area where more people are deceived than any other has to do with losing weight fast. Diets that promise you can lose lots of weight in a short period of time are either being really dishonest or they want you to starve yourself, which means that you can be certain that your weight loss is only temporary. slow and steady is the name of the game in weight loss because that allows your body to adjust to the changes that are happening in a healthy way. this is how you make sure that you see permanent change in your weight. You can save yourself a lot of grief by simply avoiding diets that make unbelievable promises.
Low carb diets have been given so much attention in recent years that people have started to believe that all carbohydrates are bad for them. this isn’t true; you need to eat at least some carbs every day to make sure you keep up a good energy level. the good news is that there are lots of foods that have carbohydrates, even veggies have them, so what really matters is that you actually choose healthy carbs. the type of carbs to avoid are those that are highly processed, such as sugar and white flour. You want to aim for the carbs that are found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. the good low carb diets will actually tell you this so if someone tries to tell you that all carbs are bad it just means that they didn’t study their diet books well enough.
To summarize, the approach to the diet you choose is pretty much always just as important to the diet itself. it helps to have realistic expectations, and to not fall victim to some of the pervasive myths about dieting. this is how you will avoid the fad diets that do not work and to stick with the proper diet when you find it.
