nullIn my last post I exclaimed how my goal was to lose 5 lbs by my birthday which was yesterday (Sunday February 8th 2009). I didn’t workout as much as I wanted to, but I did lose the 5 lbs and I am no 150lbs even!

This is good and it means I met the goal I had set when I began my weight loss journey.

Unfortunately I still have a ways to go, although my cholesterol is now perfect and I lost over 30 lbs I still don’t like the flabby stomach I have. From what I have read the only real way to get rid of it is to work-out, no amount of dieting will do it.

What do you all think?

So now that I have reached my initial goal its time to set a new one! So I am aiming for a NO FLAB STOMACH by the end of March! My goal is to do a stomach / core workout every other day until the end of march.

I think that 2 months of doing the workout every other-day should have a significant impact on my outcome and hopefully I will see results even sooner then that. I will keep you all up-to-date on how it goes and what happens!

Also, keep an eye out for my post next week where I talk about my new diet plans! I think you all will enoy that post!

Hello Everyone!

Well its now the second of february and my birthday is just 6 days away! My goal when I started my weight-loss goal was to weight 150 lbs by my birthday.

I am currently about 154 - 155 depending on if I’m wearing clothes or not.

Basically I have 6 days to lose 5 pounds and reach my target goal!

I need your guys help, my goal is to work-out and do cardio every day until my birthday while doing basically a bread and watter diet which hopefully will let me lose that 5lbs!

It will be tough but I know I can do it, if you have ever had to lose weight fast like this to meet a goal or anything then comment below and let me know so we can encourage each other!

Drinking Water To Lose Weight Faster!

Posted by shandaman On January - 29 - 20092 COMMENTS

nullHello Guys,

Well this is the first actual post here on Lovets.net and I hope you all enjoy it!

Today we are going to talk about water, what type I drink and how I believe it helps you to lose weight. Everyone knows that the body simply cannot survive without water but how can it help us lose weight?

Well to be perfectly honest with you water by itself can’t do anything in terms of losing weight. But have you ever noticed that people on the diet shows like Biggest Loser and even athletes drink water on the side-lines? The reason they do this is two fold.

On one hand their bodies demand it because of all the out-going sweat but then again what if it did something more that the programs don’t talk about?

Well guess what, when you drink water it regulates your metabolism! Don’t know what metabolism is, no worries basically its what tells your body how fast your going to digest food, liquid and whatever else you may throw in your tank.

By drinking water and regulating it we supercharge our ability to lose weight.

When I went on my diet (read my about page for more info) I was determined to cut out drinking sodas and even lemonade (pink kind was my favorite). I never told myself this was going to be a permanent thing but to my surprise after just 2-3 weeks without them I don’t even notice or care that I only drink water.

Water to me is like drinking a soda because now when I actually do drink a soda, coffee or anything with sugar in it I get a buzz!! I could buzz around like a bee because of being so hyper and then the crash hits…

So here’s the deal guys, I want you all to try something with me, I want you to give up drinking anything accept water for just 1 day! That’s right, just 1 day guys I know you can do it!

After your 1 day without anything but water to drink I want you to come back here and comment on how you feel. Can you guys do that for me? Thanks guys, get back to me soon!
