Kim I will give you some tips that really have help me to WIN!
Water water water, as much as you can drink
No sugar or things you even think might have sugar
You can eat out, just get fresh green beans, and a small meat with a salad ( I hate salad dressing so I eat it plain)
No soda, Including diet (zevia is fine a few times a month)
No fast foods/ Or junk food including chips and so on
No package food/pre made food
No Bread, Pasta (I hate pasta)
Have a go to food
30 mins of just walking a day ( nothing crazy)
Keep moving your body ( I walk at my 2 15 min breaks and 20 mins or more of my hour lunch my lunch)
If at home do house work when the kids sleep or try to not just sit down. If you been walking then its fine
NO CHEAT DAYS EVER ( I see people eating Chinese food buffet and that make me think they do not want it as bad as I do)
I know its hard and everyone is different, and I could go on with what I gave up for good. This is what works for me, but I truly Believe the quote I saw "Give up everything you love to eat, drink, including bread, grains and you will win" I let It all go and it has been the best thing I have done. Never let anything throw you off the WOE path. I can't wait to see you with 50 pounds gone.
Great to see the scale down already, keep it moving
PSSS take picture's of your self to. Stay strong and you will make it.
