EVERYONE wants a QUICK FIX when it comes to weight loss,  Probably why the weight loss industry is  $60 billion dollar industry!!!!   We've all tried the "quick fix"  and paid for it with our hard earned cash and added weight gain in the end!!!!   

"According to data by Marketdata Enterprises, a market research firm that specializes in tracking niche industries, Americans spend north of $60 billion annually to try to lose pounds, on everything from paying for gym memberships and joining weight-loss programs to drinking diet soda."

There are 108 million American dieters, and they make 4-5 dieting attempts per year.


Dieters are heavier than ever, having put on significant weight during the recession. The combination of increased stress levels and a shift to more comfort food and cheaper fast food resulted in the weight gain.

I know you've heard this before, but I'll say it again....   

THERE IS NO QUICK FIX PEOPLE!!!!

SORRY!  accept it... or don't and just keep doing what you're doing. :)

Make a lifestyle change, not a quick fix!

Eat healthy whole foods, don't starve yourself, and MOVE your body every day!

I recently had a baby and have been getting back into shape after gaining 35lb's.  I'm doing it the right and lasting way (don't worry, I've tried the wrong way, and it never works.  The weight always comes back!)

I'm here plugging along just like everyone else who wants to permanently better their health (not continually go on and off diets and exercise programs)

When you take the time to lose weight the right way, you can expect to lose about .5 to 1 lb a week.  Now, you will have weeks when you lose more than that, but not many.

That's what I've been doing and I'm happy to report that TODAY... My baby is  just over 2 months old, and I only have about 7 more pounds to lose before I'm back to my pre pregnancy weight!  

So, it can be done, but you must put in the time!

My motivational quotes today go along with this notion... THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES! 

If any of these speak to you, print them off and get them up in front of you!!!
