Hello, Beach Babes!
I've been doing my best for the past two weeks and have managed to lose 4 lbs! I've just been watching portions and exercising daily. I think trying to eat strictly healthy foods while watching my family eat what they normally do was keeping me depressed and feeling deprived. I decided a few days ago that I was going to eat what I wanted for my meals, just less of it! I eat slowly and actually enjoy my meals instead of woofing it down like a starved animal.
Of course, I stay away from the sweets because I know I can't stop at just a little. I have no self control around chocolate, so if I need a fix, I eat a fudgesicle which only has 40 calories. The rest of the day, I'm drinking lots of water to keep me from feeling snacky. I chew a lot of gum, lol.
For exercise, I'm using a treadmill and an elliptical machine. I also lift some weights and do toning exercises. I love love love yoga.
I hope everyone else is finding success as well! The beach is coming, and so is less clothing, sunshine, and fun activities. We can do this, ladies!
That meal could of easily been a full days points if not more. Stocked up on low calorie snacks and ready for a new week. 
Spring has sprung and before ya know it, summer will be here and time for those shorts and bathing suits! You'll all look wonderful cause of all the hard work you're doing. Go you!!!!
