Hi everyone! My name is Laura and I am a 22 year old female. I am 5'8, and at my heaviest weighed 170 lbs, carrying all the majority of it in my stomach and thighs. I have tried consistent working out, eating a high fiber diet (I am also hypoglycemic), all to minimally satisfying results. In fact, as I was working out I was gaining weight in muscle, but not looking any better! It was very frustrating. Now, I weigh 135 lbs!!!! I haven't remember the number being on the scale that low since my early teens and I feel great.
I have a super great tip that is really easy for losing weight, it worked great for me and I suggest it to everyone. I read an article (NY Times) that tells of studies that show diet drinks (Soda, Skim milk, Teas, etc) actually encourage more eating! Drinks are a great way to fill up and eat less, but if these drinks are diet sodas, etc have zero glucose in them, they won't do the trick and you will eat more. Since I have always loved Coca Cola Classic (!) I decided to stop punishing myself with diet sodas and skim milk. I really noticed a change right away. I could sit down with a whole tray of oreos with skim milk and eat them, with whole milk I would only eat one or two. This way I was still eating everything I wanted but in smaller proportions. Then, as I started noticing this easy difference to keep my hunger satisfied, it became more and more pleasurable for me to eat decently sized meals and not over eat, enjoying nice beverages with it. In my oreo example, the cup of whole milk would not be to aid me in wolfing down oreos, but part of the treat itself. Regular soda also became a "treat" to me in and of itself -- and it really helped me eat less!
As soon as I lost 5 lbs this way I was thrilled to continue the trend so I learned as much as I can about truly effective personalized weight loss tips, and I found a bunch of great, effective, CALORIE SHIFTING ways to lose weight. Out of all the #%@&! on the Internet, I share with you the one program that has been truly successful for me:
weightloss for idiots -- the only program worthy of the 'forget what you know about dieting' mantra
But I know, pictures are worth a thousand words:
me last summer, happy apparently but chubchubchubby.
me last week, on the beach! my belly even has definition for the first time ever!
SEE MY BLOG FOR MORE PICS AND DETAILS ABOUT THE PROGRAM THAT HELPED ME: http://www.itiseverything.wordpress.com
Again, I have weightloss for idiots to thank!
Tell me what you think =]

Now that you've lost 20lb, are you still using the diet to lose, or are you just trying to maintain your loss? Did you use the diet generator, the 10 rules or beyond calories? If you are at maintenance, are you using the 10 rules or have you completely gone off your diet and if so what is your approach to maintenance?
Finally, in case you are not aware, we have an entire sub-forum where you can talk with other followers of the FL4I diet!
