Please, please, please, do your research and get on this diet. It’s amazing and is already changing my life. It’s the secret to me losing those 15 pounds and counting. Low Carb, Moderate Protein, High Fat. This diet changes the way your body uses energy. Rather than running off of glucose (which is what your body uses if you aren’t on this diet), your body starts running off of keytones, which pull from fat storage. 

I did this in two weeks. I’m so happy. My goal was to lose 2-5 pounds per week and look at me, lol. I fell off the wagon for a while and now I’m 6 pounds from being where I was to start with lol. It everything goes to plan, these are my weekly goals for this month! WEEK ONE: 230 ☑ WEEK TWO: 225 ☑ WEEK THREE: 220 ☑ WEEK FOUR: 215 Lets see if I can pull off 5 more pounds this month!

So, I've been on this weight loss journey for a while now but I've just now visited a doctor for some advice. I never thought it would be possible but with her help, I should be losing 12-14 pounds per month minimum or maximum 20 pounds per month. She expects me to be 155 in 4-6 months. So excited! If any of you would like the information she gave me- feel free to message me! Time to kick this in high gear!

Need a boost? Here's some tips to make sure you're metabolism is functioning properly. 1) Vitamins Niacin, Vitamin B-6, and Iron helps boost your metabolism by assisting the production of L-carnitine, an amino acid that helps promote fat-burning. 2) Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast, what you eat determines the rest of your day. If you skip you'll put your body in starvation mode and you'll be sluggish. 3) Drink cold water, you're body has to use more energy to heat it up. 4) Run, or do some type of exercise to get your heart rate up. The benefits will follow you for up to 4 hours.

Since I’m doing so many other 30 day challenges, I’m going to add one more. I’m going to drink nothing but water for 30 days. I read online about a man who cut out all drinks besides water for 30 days, he exersized during that time period and ate what he felt his body needed and he lost 25 pounds in 30 days. I know I probably won't see those results, or anything near- but it can only be beneficial! ✌Wish me luck my fellow fitblrs!

1. DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES 2. DRINK 8 BOTTLES OF WATER DAILY 3. ADD NUTS, VEGGIES, & FRUIT TO DIET 4. DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST 5. KEEP HEALTHY SNACKS ON HAND 6. RUN WHEN YOU CAN 7. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS/ CELEBRATE SMALL VICTORIES 8. ADD LEMON TO WATER IN THE A.M. 9. KEEP MOVING 10. DON'T GIVE UP. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES YOU, YOU'LL SEE RESULTS.

These thirty day challenges are kickin’ my butt👊. Everything is pretty doable though, my legs are on fire. My stomach is the only part of me that isn’t feeling the burn, so I’m thinking about throwing in some more intense core exersizes. ·We did double the squats, planks, & crunches. + Ran a mile. Catch ya’ll on the flip side ✌

I am SO lucky to have a friend that will do this with me! Today marks the second day for us! Our legs are killing. But we've adding running to the list. Come on guys, lets bump it up and start today!

Got a good workout in today! Walked/ Ran 5 laps around the track today, 50 squats, 50 crunches, 40s plank, 5 push-ups (on my knees). 1st day with my new workout buddy, we’ll be back at it again tomorrow!
