Thin Blog

This is just a decent, homemade video of a lady that has tried Medifast and has lost alot of weight.  She speaks about what to expect and what to do when starting on the Medifast Diet Plan.  It is a pretty good video and the sincerity that she portrays is refreshing.  What is also noteworthy is the fact that she was not asking you to order anything from her.  She is just talking about what to expect when you start with The Medifast Plan.  If you are thinking about The Medifast Plan watch the video and then check out the official The Medifast Program.

Reducing cellulite was really one thing that I never gave much thought to, because I never was able to lose the weight.  I had dieted for years and each and every time I failed.  About a year ago I decided to lose weight “the right way” by not using any gadget, gizmos or pills.  I decided the best way to lose weight was how they do it on The Biggest Loser.  I decided to exercise, eat right and just get it done.  This blog has chronicled that journey and now here I sit 50 pounds lighter and another issue has arose.  I now need to somehow decide the best way of reducing cellulite.

I used to look in the mirror and hate the fat that I saw.  Somehow I thought that if I lost the weight I would be able to look into the same mirror and see the soft, tight skinned youth from years gone by.  One goal I have had in losing weight was that I wanted to be the beauty my husband met years ago.  When I was so overweight I was ashamed to be naked in front of him and and my love life suffered.  I thought that if I lost the weight, all the magic would return and all would be right with my world.  Now that I have lost 50 pounds I look in the mirror and I see the not so fat but now have cellulite looking saggy skin.  Now I look at myself and I needed to decide if anything can be done at reducing my cellulite.

I decided that I since I lost weight I wanted to look great naked.  I decided that I needed a way at reducing cellulite that would not cost a fortune and was not a scam.  I decided that I needed to learn what the issue really was all about and start my education.  I knew that I did not want to waste three years like I did with weight loss waste of time techniques.  When I began my search for information I discovered that I was not alone in my quest of reducing cellulite.  I looked around and I was happy to learn that I did not have to see a plastic surgeon and there were some programs available for individuals like me.

I never pretended to be a weight loss guru.  I always laid the bare facts out before the world on this blog and reducing cellulite is no different.  What I have done is I went and gathered some of the products that appear to be decent.  The one common thread that is needed for whatever program is that the sooner you start, the better off you will be in the end. (No pun intended!)  Below are a few programs I have found that are effective.  I have realized that they all are pretty good and the price should not be the deciding factor of what you use in your attempt at reducing cellulite.  Check out the links below and if you are afraid of your cellulite being unsightly, just make sure that you do something to make the difference.  What you will see happen is that your confidence of being naked will improve and when that happens your love life just get better. 

I included two links to some decent sites that can help you in your request of reducing cellulite.    Good Luck! and God Bless!

For the first time in my life I have lost weight. I had been trying to lose weight for years and had tried every diet under the sun. I tried Atkins, which was great till I ate a bowl of cereal.  I tried so many different diets that I sort of went through a sort of numb period.  I sort of gave up and my weight hit a whopping 297 pounds and that is when something had to give.  I grew tired of hiding behind all of my clothes and despite the fact my husband said I looked fine, I did not feel fine.  When I almost hit 300 pounds I decided to throw away all of the weight loss nonsense and knew I had to lose weight naturally.

Most websites will tell you there is some magic pill or some simple 12 minute exercise that you could do just 3 times a week…but we know better and we know that none of that is true.  I received my inspiration for natural weight loss by watching The Biggest Loser.  It was on that show that I realized that it was all about calories in, and calories out.  I even received that thing they wear on their arm in The Biggest Loser, which is called The BodyBugg. I have written over 50 articles about The BodyBugg (Click here to see the articles) and it is the greatest thing ever invented for weight loss.  I am not going to write about why, because i am tired of writing about that thing the players wear on The Biggest Loser.  What I do want to discuss is how my weight loss is all attributed to natural weight loss techniques.  I have listed the three not so easy steps below.

• Get enough sleep- Most people do not realize how important getting a good night sleep is to a person trying to lose weight.  Without a decent night of sleep your body just does not perform as well as it should because it just isn’t.  When you are tired you have less “ooommmmfffff” to get out and exercise.  Let desire to spend the time preparing healthy foods and when you are tired you just have less will power to resist all of the goodies that end up in front of your mouth.  If sleeping isn’t a natural way to lose weight…..what is?
• Exercise- When I first started to lose weight going to the health club or taking a long walk was a horrible thing to do.  I hated going, I hated being there and I could not wait until it was time to leave.  Exercise and me was a four letter word.  Somewhere along the way I stopped exercising to lose eight and just started to do it because I realized that it was something that was just overall healthy for me. I no longer go to the health club to lose weight, I go to just help myself be healthy.  My stress is lower, my cholesterol levels plummeted and I am no longer in line to ever have Type – II diabetes.  Exercise is as natural as a person can get when looking for natural weight loss.
• Eat better- Notice I said eat better, I did not say eat like a rabbit.  When I first started my weigh loss journey in the world of dieting, I thought it was all about salad and other forms of rabbit food.  I tried to eat what I thought to be healthy but after just a few weeks I grew bored and gave up.  After each and every weight loss attempt I went right back to the behaviour that got me fat in the first place.  I have learned that the best way to lose weight naturally is well…..to eat.  I have since learned that to lose weight naturally I need to just make beater choices.  I committed myself to understanding why smaller meals every 4 hours was better.  I learned about the power of protein in defeating hunger.  I learned how bad even diet soda is for a person.  I have learned that I never drink my calories.  This subject is too broad so lets just say I educated myself and now I am in a lifetime course because the true weight loss never really ends, it becomes a way of life.

I have learned that losing weight is not rocket science and the best way to lose weight is the natural way.  I try not to lose no more than 1.5 to 2 pounds a week because I have learned that it is a much more natural amount to lose every week.  The small numbers still add up over time and by losing it slowly, it takes longer for me to put it back on if I have a bad day.  My only negative thing I have to say about my natural method of weight loss is that I never did anything to stop all of the skin from sagging.  I did not do anything about all of the nasty cellulite and now although I am thinner, I do not like what I see.  Although the view is not as bad as being obese. I just wish I prepared myself better for the physical aspect of losing weight.  But then I guess that is a matter for another article and it is tired and I think I am going to call it a night. 

In closing, weight loss is not impossible and it can happen.  Once you get your mind on track you will look back and wonder why you made such a big thing about it at all.  Weight loss is something you can do and if you pay attention you will be able to achieve natural weight loss also.  Weight loss is not only possible, it can start right here and right now. You just have to make the first step and our mind will allow your body to do the rest.  All ideas began in the imagination and if you can imagine yourself thin, you will soon learn that you can lose the weight and start your own weight loss journey. 

Good Luck and God Bless! 

The Biggest Loser Series premiere for season 8 is scheduled for September 15 2009.  The casting call for season 9 has already begun and it is safe to say that we can expect back to back seasons for The Biggest Loser.  We here at IChooseThin can’t wait to sit ourselves down and watch episode after episode because of the simple fact that we have been motivated to make weight loss a reality for a few of the employees.  As you may already know this article is an addition to our ongoing 6 month review rating the BodyBugg.  We write this in theme with The Biggest Loser because we first saw the BodyBugg on the arms of the players in scene after scene, season after season, on The Biggest Loser.  This BodyBugg first came to our attention through all of the questions we received about what was being worn on the arms of all the players.  When we searched for an answer we discovered it was BodyBugg.

It did not take long before the staff here started to a little research and then the request was placed to order some, so we could evaluate and report how it works.  After the order was placed I was one of the lucky ones to get one and now I am thrilled because I would have never spent the money myself.  I thought this thing was just another weight loss gizmo that would be a waste of my hard earned money.  Now that I see how it works, I wish I bought my own back during Season one of The Biggest loser.  The BodyBugg has helped me in a way that I never expected and that is by placing all of the needed information to lose weight in front of my nose, on my computer.

I wear the BodyBugg all day and it gives me no discomfort whatsoever.  I actually forget to take it off and I actually want it on my arm all of the time.  When I sit down at the computer and compare my calories burned to calories eaten it excites me to see that I should be losing weight.  I now want to go for a walk because I now can see what an impact it has on my life.  I went for a five mile walk tonight and it took about two hours.  I took the German Sheppard and I could actually look at the graph and see the few minutes I stopped at a park bench to take a brief rest.  I look back on the early part of my day and I can even see the time I arrived at work and sat at my desk, when my calorie burn almost stopped.  I can look back at my day and there is one “ah-ha moment” after another.  To see the information on my computer screen of how many calories I burned during different activities, takes the statistics out of the textbooks and magazines and places them squarley into my reality.  To see the facts and figures of my day on my computer monitor is just plain awesome and damn motivating! 

One thing is for sure though and that is when September 15 2009 rolls around and The Biggest Loser appears on my television screen, this season will be different for me.  I, for the first time, will be sitting in front of the boob tube NOT being sad and regretful that I once again am still fat and doing nothing about the fact that I am overweight!  This will be the first season that I will start The Biggest Loser knowing that I am losing weight and that I am doing all I can do to become a healthy weight.  As I travel through my days I hear Jillian Michaels telling me to take my hands off the treadmill rails.  I think of the episode where Bob Harperhad a meltdown and wish I could get some training from him.  The day is coming for the season premiere and I am glad that I not only will get to see another episode of The Biggest Loser, but I am sooooograteful that I have The BodyBugg, which has kicked me down the weight loss path in ways I never anticipated.  The simple fact is that I have gotten off the couch and started to make the lifestyle change and The BodyBugg has helped me start that journey. 

This season I am going to be ready and that motivation may come from within, but it started by watching The Biggest Loser.  I love my BodyBugg and as of this date, it is nothing but an asset in my quest to lose weight.  As the days roll on I love to look back on the history my BodyBugg provides because that is what I am using to take me into my future.  The information I get from my BodyBugg is what I am basing my food and exercise decisions upon. What I get from BodyBugg is pure facts and information.  BodyBugg works and it is simply what I always needed.  I am so glad I saw it on The Biggest Loser.

So many people have seen BodyBugg on The Biggest Loser and are reading all of the good reviews and pleasant things people have to say, and are wondering where they can buy BodyBugg?  We have had many people ask if BodyBugg can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Target or any of the sporting goods stores that are all over America.  We here at IChooseThin.com have researched the question of Where BodyBugg is sold and we must report to you that at the time of this article, BodyBugg is sold either online by BodyBugg 24 Hour Fitness or at your local 24 Hour Fitness Center.  We doubt that this will ever be changed because it keeps 24 Hour Fitness in complete control of how the product is marketed, referenced and sold.  BodyBugg is a unique product that has massive potential to not only help people lose weight, but also be profitable for 24 Hour Fitness.  It only makes sense they want to keep tight control over who sells, markets and talks about their product.

The same exact BodyBugg model that the contestants wear on The Biggest Loser is the one sold over the Internet through 24 Hour Fitness.  For those that are not familiar with BodyBugg, the easiest way to describe it is that it is a “personal calorie management system.”  What it does for you is that it helps keep track of the calories burned during the hours that it is worn.  It provides quite abit of  information, and when that information is positively applied to the decisions of what will be eaten, provides a real possibility for a person to choose wisely and actually be able to lose weight.  BodyBugg helps to takes the guesswork out of weight loss.

It is quite fitting that you order BodyBugg over the Internet because you need to have access to the web for BB to work.  If you are looking for a review of BodyBugg we have that at another article: Is BodyBugg Accurate? If you were just wondering where you could purchase BodyBugg, you now know that you need to go to BodyBugg 24 Hour Fitness website, or one of their local fitness centers.
