Losing weight

A lot of people ask me, what made you change? What was it that finally got you to start losing weight? To be honest, I wanted a baby and…. I knew

First things first…I MEASURE EVERYTHING THAT GOES IN MY MOUTH and I measure in grams for extra accuracy. The scale that I use looks like this

This is my bestfriend

I even carry it with me to work and out of town.
I use a digital scale because those of us that are trying to lose weight have the tendency to serve ourselves bigger portions and if you are measuring say…Ice Cream(which I love by the way) then you want to be extra accurate because those calories add up. A digital scale always takes the guess work away from overflowing measuring cups and eyeballing.

I only weigh myself once a week because, I notice if I weigh myself everyday, I will obsess..start to starve myself, or want to give up because the scale is not budging. Plus weighing yourself weekly allows for you to catch yourself if you start to gain weight before you look up and you have 10 extra pounds to lose. I use a scale similar to this

The Dreader

It runs for about $30 dollars at target. It measures my body composition(how much fat I have versus lean tissue), my body fat composition and my hydration level(haven’t found much use for this feature.)

Stay tuned for label reading and food measurement
