____Beyonce’s Maple syrup/lemon/salt h2o detox diet????___

My aunt is currently doing this diet and has lost 5 lbs in the first 2 days and is suppose to lose about 20 pounds in 10 days if she sticks to it.

I know there is water weight but it suppose to be also flushing out your system of toxins and fat too.  She said it also help cut cravings and is a good start to a weight loss program.

Has anyone tried this????

July already!!!! And here I thought I was still getting ready for SUMMER…lol

So okay, I’m a little late on getting into bathing suit season since its already here.  I wanted to get my official starting weight this morning just to find out my scale is not working at all.  I think it got wet.  So now I’m frustrated that I can’t weigh in… uugghh!

Anyway, May and June were two months from hell!  I was going through some really hard times financially, emotionally, mentally, and even physically that I’m so glad its finally coming to an end.  In those two months I gained a solid 10 lbs!  And I was suppose to lose for the summer???

Well here’s to July being the start of something wonderful!  Today is my first day in a long time that I will intentionally hit the gym and get a workout.  I feel good about it and I’m excited.

So maybe I won’t be in swimsuit shape this summer but at least I will sure feel a hell of alot better going to the beach knowing I’m actually doing something about it.

New to Buddyslim!! ***Starting my life over…finally starting MY life.

hello all!  Nice to meet you and thanks for reading!

I’m a married mom in my early 30’s who has spent all my adult life overwieght.  I hate when I hear that our bodies are the best in our 20’s cuz it just makes me want to cry knowing I let all those years go unhealthy, overwieght, and with self hate.  I can’t really say why I did it, but I did.  Now it’s time for me to let go of what I cannot change, and finally change what I can!

That’s whay I say I’m finally starting MY life.  Not that I’ve been dead all this time, but in a certain way I have.  I had my babies as a teen and have basically lived for them and my family.  It’s so easy to ignore yourself when you have so much on your plate.  My world surrounded their well being, happiness, love and care.  Not to mention I got married very young so all my time and devotion has and will always be for my children and my sweet husband.  But as I have gotten older I learned that a truly healthy and happy women is not just a great mom, loving wife, and good employee.  She must have more to her, for herself.

As I look into my life I see that I have nothing for ME.  So today I start MY life by spending at least one hour a day with something that will benefit me.  I will begin with a 30 min walk and do my best to re direct the self hate thinking.  I will also put good things in my body, good food that will benefit ME. 

As the days go by I think it will get easier to really commit to my diet plan and a great workout plan.  But I have to start somewhere and that somewhere is here and now.
