Welcome To The Blog

Hello everyone thank you so much for stopping by and lending your support to what I know is a worth while effort. I've started girlfriends losing weight to encourage all of you to not only focus on weight loss and overall great health, but to reach out and get other girlfriends to do the same thing.I have discovered over the years, that when you find a good accountability partner. You increase your chances of accomplishing your goals 100%. So girlfriends lets draw the line in the sand, let the buck stop here, and let's "make things happen" for all of us.I would hope that each of you will take time to share positive comments of encouragement,on the pictures and post that will be shared here.Remember we are all girlfriends whether we personally know each other or not. Together we stand, divided we all fall.I look forward to the pictures and stories of success that will be shared here, and I promise my success coaching that will be shared here will be in the spirit of excellence.

I wish everyone success

What approach will you take to weight loss

There are many approaches to weight loss, it's Important to find the one that will work for you long term. Many people go wrong looking for the quick fix and end up right back where they started in a very short time. Here's a few of the choices some people you may know suggest

 

Jessica's Small Meals Approach


  • Jessica Biel

    Jessica Biel simply has made healthy eating a way of life, not something she does to temporarily lose weight. Maintaining her weight without yo-yoing, Jessica avoids foods that contain sugar, salt and processed flour, as well as dairy. What is more important is that she eats small meals every 3 to 4 hours in order to keep her blood sugar levels steady. Additionally, Jessica exercises intensely almost every day of the week. While your diet and exercise program doesn't have to be so rigid, take cues from her small meals of healthy foods and exercise daily.

Jennifer's Everything in Moderation


  • Jennifer Lopez

    Unlike Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lopez does not cut out certain foods--she just has less of them during her meals, and tries to avoid eating too many simple carbohydrates like white bread and pasta. However, she does not ban them from her diet. For exercise, Jennifer does circuit training, which center around 2 to 3 minutes of strength training then followed by 3 to 5 minutes of aerobic exercise, and then moves to another form of strength training. For instance, you could engage in squats, then jog in place, and then move on to crunches, then jumping jacks, and so forth. This keeps you muscles challenged and burns more calories than either form of exercise alone.

Conquer Emotional Eating like Valerie Bertinelli


  • Valerie Bertinelli

    Weight loss is not all diet and exercise; you also have to mentally prepare. Recognizing the source of stress in your life, past troubles and feelings of guilt are all part of the process. You also need to ask yourself if you turn to food for comfort or to avoid dealing with problems. If so, then you might be an emotional eater like Valerie Bertinelli. This actress admits that she first had to deal with her divorce and raising a son on her own. Once she did that, she asked what she wanted for herself. Hence, you should lose weight for yourself and your good health, not for anyone else.
