If she can do it, so can I!

Tiffany Forni started at 235 lbs. She won her first figure show. Now she does fitness modeling on the side.

BEFORE



AFTER



Its been a struggle for me at times. Sometimes I feel like I'm too fat to try. Seeing someone like Tiffany helps a ton! She started at a higher weight than me. And now she looks fab! I lost 30 lbs this year. Not as much as I hoped for, but not too shabby either! I am looking to complete my fat loss journey in 2009- preferably in the beginning. Sure there will be tweaking, etc. but no major losses once the bulk comes off. :)

I have done well this week. It hasn't been easy. I do hope it gets a little easier with the carb cravings. And being a little less edgy would be good. I think its just the initial carb withdrawl. Afterall, I lived on almost carbs alone for quite a few years. Well, carbs and fat. I can look back and see how I basically helped reduce my muscle to minimal levels. Its frightening when I think about it. I'm so glad I am on the right track now.

I think it's the initial withdraw too. When I went NO carb it was tough for the first 2 days but after that I didn't crave anything and I didn't miss them at all. Of course I got cheese so that helped LOL! 30 lbs is GREAT! You're in the right mindset now and you will look like Tiffany...if you want too ;)

There is definitely a time period where you body adjusts....and then it's funny, you've probably heard me talk a lot about this recently- once your body gets used to NOT having the "bad" foods (whether it is sugar or fake foods or wheat or whatever)- the times that you DO "cheat" or indulge in some, most likely, your body will bite back in some way. I had several 'treats' over the holidays~ not a lot, but I tell you, how sick I got from it~ it ensured I don't want to go back.

Focus on all the great amazing new foods you can try in 09- that's what my focus is; variety. There are sooo many foods I haven't tried yet that are healthy and clean.....so it's not as bad to give up the other stuff, ya know?

GIRL YOU ARE GOING TO KICK BUTT THIS YEAR. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU WILL DO IT.
