Well, I checked it from time to time but...<br /><br />Here is what I recommend. Get a tape measure. Measure all important parts; i.e. bust, under the bust, waist, hips, thighs and calves.<br /><br />Remeasure ONLY once a week.<br /><br />Are you working out? If not, at least get out and walk, even if slowly.<br /><br />There are two types of exercise heart rates; fat loss and aerobic. I tended to do aerobic, which worked well for me. But the fat loss heart rate is good too.<br /><br />Drink a CRAPLOAD of water. I did this. About 100 ounces a day. In order to get myself used to it, I put lemon juice in it. It also made me thirstier, which made me drink more water. Wherever you go, take water with you! Your natural thirst will come back.<br /><br />I am a HUGE fan of detoxing. I am also a fan of detoxing the intestine and colon. I use Dr. Natura. You can google it. Even if you don't lose weight, it will help considerably with getting rid of gut stuff, and it's very good for you to do so. It helps with absorption of vitamins, because our intestines are covered in slime and stuff. And we are missing our flora.<br /><br />I ALWAYS hit a plateau at 180. I don't know how much weight you have to lose. But once I hit 180, I HAVE to work out.<br /><br />Also, the more muscle mass you build, the more calories you will burn. Every pound of muscle uses up 40 calories per hour.<br /><br />My 2 cents.Absurdisthttp://www.theabsurdist.netnoreply@blogger.com
